Hello.
I was wondering if theres any way to change the default volume-control which the volume-buttons control?
Currently, and on all ROMs Ive tried, the default volume is set to Ringtone.
What that means is, if no sound is playing (like, you idle on the homescreen or whatever), pressing the volumebuttons changes the ringtone volume.
I always manage to press the volumbuttons by accident, changing the ringtone volume...
I thought it was just a matter of getting used to the rather sensitive buttons, but lately its started to become an issue.
Ive missed several calls because Ive managed to reduce the ringtone volume without noticing.
So, what I want is a way to change this default behavior to instead of changing the ringtone volume - change the media volume.
I personally have no reason to change the ringtone volume "quickly", and would much rather be able to quickly change the media volume - even if no media is playing.
I hope you understand what I mean, kinda hard to explain
My current ROM is DarkJelly CM10 Build 24 with stock CM10 kernel, and Id prefer not to move away from it - I like it

Sure. You should import the .wav file that corresponds to the mentioned alert in your PC to a wave editor and normalize it. If it is already normalized you should try to apply multiband compression to it and tweak the compression ratio of the frequencies that match the characteristics of your devices loudspeaker
Ok let me rephrase. Can i have my SMS tone like 100% Volume and the rest of the System Volume at 10%?
Yes. Still the same answer... shortly - you have to change the volume individually for each file by opening those files in an audio editor - the sms one louder and if it is already 100% then you need to make other ones softer. I am talking about the internal volume of the files. All the audio is played through the same wave device which is affected by a single system volume slider so there is surely no way to autoroute "recalled" wavs to a virtual buses with individual volume sliders. Maybe in the future... but this is more like in a pro audio playground already, I dont think this kind of consumer devices would ever support such a specific ground.
No its not a solution to reduce the volume of all system sounds and sounds of the applications, midis and whatever they use.
I think Photo Contacs Pro can do that...but i cant switch the phone silent with the regular volume control anymore...wich is something i like.
I am aware that system volume is tied to media volume (which is stupid and can't be explained by any logic) so I'm using AudioGuru widget to set my audible selection (tick) sounds to the level that I like while keeping my media volume at different level.
Now, everytime I use navigation (google) or phone, system volume seems to re-set itself again. Anyone else is annoyed with that or am I just being picky?
BTW, since I'm going to be using CM as soon as it comes out, I opened a new enhancement request on CM tracker regarding broken system volume issue (i.e. it does not stay at pre-set levels but rather follows media volume which is really annoying)
Please star it so we can get some resolution (hopefully in the form of separate slider in settings) and it trickles down to other roms.

Thank you in advance.
Is there a way to change or turn off the the sounds, musical scale of sorts, when you change the ringer volume. I would much have a single tone instead of the scale they have stock. I am currently on 1.85 without an unlocked bootloader.

this is an excellent question. Prior to ICS you had separate volume controls for everything. I hate that they combined them.
Actually I was talking about the kind of musical scale the phone plays when you change the ringer volume but separate volume for different apps would also be great.
Anyway to adjust media volume and ring tone volume at the same time? Like in most other phones.
Stock android and cm have the option of individually adjusting volume for ringtone, media, notifications. On the z3 it's a pain to adjust the media volume. If i have to watch a video with no volume I have to open apps like YouTube and adjust the volume and then play the video. Its a simple thing to have and yet the z3 doesn't have it. Thats the biggest issue I have with this phone.
If you have tasker, follow this guide:

Edit, nope that doesn't work, sorry! Although I managed to link ringer and alarm volumes, but for some reason media volume doesn't work
Edit 2, it does seem to sort of work, but it's almost like the media volume works on a different scale to the other volumes. Anyone got any ideas?
Hello!
Is it possible to have slowly increasing ringtone volume like on alarms?

This app may or may not work. Reviews say it may not work on newer Android versions.
Otherwise, the only way to have this is with a custom ROM. Certain ROMs add an option for this to the sound settings. I can't recommend a specific ROM as I am on stock currently.
I think that's called ascending. Used to be on the Nokia..I reckon an app could do that. Maybe magisk.
Why not make a tasked profile for it?
Any phone call set ringer volume to 40%,wait X seconds, set 50%, wait X, set 60% wait etc
Just use Audacity and edit your sound file.
