Hi! I've been looking for a good volume control app. Can anyone recommend me a good one? As all the volume control apps that seem to be good are paid apps, I'd appreciate some legitimate reviews before I purchase one.
Tried most audio manager my fav

Smart Volume Control is the best, in my opinion. It allows you to create volume profiles and switches between them automatically based on your location. However, you can still switch between different profiles automatically as well.

I agree with CSummers. Smart Volume Control is a good audio manager app. It has GPS audio switching too.
I'm a SVC fan too! Don't be afraid to give this app a try.

one thing i love about iOS (dont hate) is that whether you are playing a game, listening to music, or your phone is ringing, the volume for all of these is the same. This is so useful because you know that if you sneakily open a game in lessons etc you know if the volume is going to be loud, or if you want to watch a video you can tell if its going to shout at you before you play.
I find it extremely frustrating when i load up angry birds for example and press the lower volume rocker and all it does is lower my ring volume if the game has not fully loaded yet, meaning i then have to do it again with my media volume once the game (or whatever) has loaded up.
I am wondering if there is an app that will allow me to set a universal volume controlled by the volume rocker? and that will change both media and ring volume (and any other type of volume) just by chaning the volume rocker. Does anyone know any apps?
I am not sure if this is the right section for it to go in, if not please could a mod move it. Many thanks
Exist?
so does an app even exist for this. BTW i am using a desire HD non-rooted
Audio Manager. Add a widget to your homescreen, and control the Media volume when you want to.
Thanks. Audio manager is great for checking what the level is which I'd really useful do I know if I open a game etc I know what the volume will be. But does anyone actually know if there is a way to have all the different volumes levels controlled by the volume rocker?

Did you find any way of doing this easily? I have the same problem and I can't believe it's a hell of a lot more of a common issue tbh.
Just a quick update for anyone searching - I found an app called 'Master Volume' which has worked for me.
It doesn't offer anything in terms of exceptions or individual control I don't think, but importantly it DOES link the volume controls together and links them at the same time to the rocker switch on the phone.
So you install it, then I opened the all and it says to just leave the service running in the background (so I set my task killer app to ignore the process). That's it. It just seems to work no problem.
Result!

Hi Cret could you share the link to the app you mention?
The newest versions of Google Maps and Navigation have combined the Navigation volume with the Media Volume. I've read that by rolling back the version of the app to somewhere around 5.7 - 5.8, you can get your separate Nav and Media volume back, however I'd like to keep the latest version. Is there an app somewhere that allows for control of individual application volumes (similar to the newer versions of Windows' volume mixer)? I'd like to be able to separate the voice and media again.
Thanks,
Dan

Close but no cigar. This app only allows volume control of existing system functions like media, notifications, ringer, etc. Since the latest versions of Google Maps cram voice navigation and media (music, etc) into the same category, I can't control them independently.
A little back story:
I have a new motorcycle helmet with bluetooth capability. I need to be able to hear the navigation over my music. I'd turn music off and JUST have navigation, BUT... there is a delay between the navigation speaking and the bluetooth realizing it and switching back on from an idle/sleep mode, resulting in me missing directions.
What I want is for pandora to play sweet and soft tunes into my earholes while I'm riding, and for me to be able to crank the navigation volume WAY THE HELL UP so I can hear it. With the audio constantly playing through it I won't have the bluetooth wake-from-rest problem that I have using navigation alone.

It's been awhile, so I don't know if my memory serve me right. But there is a hidden menu for the audio settings for the Charge. If you do a search for the code, once you in, you can set the volume for navigation and media volume to balance out. There should be a threads in this forum for the recommended settings. Good luck.

The hidden menu option looks like it works (I can still do test mode, screen debugging, etc) but the dialer code for the audio menu no longer works (I'm on FP1, stock debloated).
Back to square one.
I'd rather have the app I'm looking for than try to hack the audio settings.
Well, I have finally found someone with EXACTLY similar problem!
I also ride a motorcycle and also listen to the music while riding and ALSO use Google Navigation!! Long ago there were good days when some version of GMaps/Navigation had a separate volume control but now it's gone.
It is impossible to hear anything with the music playing. I have tried several workarounds - one of them is to use PowerAmp and to force it to pause music every time any "other" sound plays. It didn't work. Or, well, technically it did, but the difference in volume levels between the music and navigation was so high, that I couldn't hear a thing.
I see a lot of people posting thingies like Super-Beats, Super-Duper-Beats, Super-Duper-Awesome-Beats, claiming that this is some sort of "audio driver" that is getting installed "on the system level" so that the sound is better/louder/deeper/crispier. I guess what we need is a similar solution, that would just add more "audio channels" - a separate one for Navigation, probably for smth else.
Is it at all doable?
Cheers'n'thanks!

I have found that while I'm listening to my music via the Music Play app, the song volume mutes while making the notification sound (the music does not pause though).
see if that helps.
HTC One S, stock T-Mobile ROM.
Phone calls with a headset are uncomfortably loud on the lowest in-call volume setting.
Is there a setting I can tweak?
Volume+, give it a shot, there is a free version but I paid for the app, good app that works. I haven't tried reducing the volume on my headset yet but I know the app works for boosting volumes, I'm sure it has the ability to lower them also.

Thanks for the link!
Tried Volume+ and it only has options for increasing volume (+1...+4), thought it has a great interface.
I checked out a couple other apps in the play market and found that 'Volume Ace +' let me drop my 'system' volume to 0/7; this seemed to make my in-call volume a little better
I have voice call already set at 0/5. If there was a setting or app that could add a few more settings below 0/5 that would be great.
Hello friends, i was checking for applications for my new android device I just purchased when I stumbled on this application called Smart Volume Control via GOOGLE PLAY and this is what I found out. The app have the following features which I found very interesting:
More widgets
Time scheduling of profiles
Profile switching based on your location
Profile switching based on your calendar events
Set Wifi, Bluetooth, mobile data, ringtone and brightness in profiles
Set call forwarding in profiles
Raise or mute volume for selected contacts
Unlimited use of Speed Volume mode
Unlimited use of headphones mode
Automatically turn silent mode on while charging
Automatically turn Wifi on while charging
Manual backup (memory card, Dropbox, Gmail, ...)
Automatical backup on the memory card
Manual restore from the memory card
You can check it out too and let me know your thoughts about the app
Regards,
Betty.
Well unless you plan to buy the $3.99 version then the app is kinda lame. It boasts all those cool features but with the free version (on top of ads) it barely does volume control sadly. I mean it looks great but it's a bit pricey for a volume controller.
There are some better free ones such as Profile Scheduler and Silence. I'd try this first before buying this one.

Actually, $3.99 is not bad at all to pay for an audio management app. I personally use Smart Volume Control and I like it. I've tried the "free" ones and they aren't good.

How long have you been using Smart Volume Control? Do you think it would work well with a Note II?

I've been using it for 9 months and it will work very well with your Note II.

So far been using it for a week and no issues or problems with Smart Volume.
There is a feature or option that I truly miss from an earlier version of android. The ability to have a separate volume for "Navigation" and "Media/Music" Is there anything out there that would allow that function back? I use Google Maps/Navigation and mostly Player Pro or Pandora for music and MX player for videos. My HTC Thunderbolt is running a BAMF rom with Android version 2.3.4
I would be open to a different rom as long as it does not drop below the 2.3.4 mark.
Does anyone know of anything that would bring back the separate Navigation Volume?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
There will be a greater chance of getting an answer, if the title reflected your question...
There's an app called "Volume Control +" by Team Coffeebreak soft. Check that one out...
I currently have that installed but unfortunately it does not have the separate volume controls.
What about trying to use an app like tasker or Llama to create an event that every time any specific app launches the volume sets to a specific level.
Eg.
As I start the car and my phone connects to BT audio, the volume sets to max and Google play music app launches and when I get it out the car the volume returns to normal and the music app gets killed, all events are done instantly after BT connects/disconnects.
Good idea but my ultimate goal is something a little different. While driving I enjoy listening to my music at a relatively low volume. When the music is at a volume that is enjoyable I would like to have the navigation voice louder. It might help wake me up a bit so I don't miss a turn.
a very valid reason. they should implement individual app volume controls. Unfortunately, that would fall on the hands of the developer.
