Is there anyway to link them together? I sometimes want the volume to be quieter but not off (eg when getting late and room-mate is sleeping).
It's kind of irritating that I have to go into settings and adjust 2 volumes independently
I missed the option of having ringer volume and notification volume linked together too.
On my old DX2 there was a check box to link them.
I bought some NFC tags and set them to various volumes (+ WIFI/bluetooth/etc) home/work/night that way.
No tapping around and adjusting volumes.

Using a Samsung Epic 4G under Sprint. I believe Gingerbread is on here. Is there a way I can set this phone so that all the different sound volumes (except for media) is controlled via the one main volume control? As it is now, notifications have there own volume control. At the end of the night, when going to bed, I usually lower the ringer volume to the lowest setting (lowest without being off), but the notification sounds, such as if someone texts me, remains loud. I have to manually go into the SETTINGS > SOUND > VOLUME to control that separately. Would be nice to all just follow my MAIN volume switch.
I've noticed that on the new release on Pie - when I manually turn the phone down, it just turns down the 'media' volume and not the ring tone volume, I need to actually go in a also turn that one down.
Am I missing something? Didn't it used to default to turning both media and ringtone down? Is there a way of making both come down or at least default to ring tone?
It's a new Pie settings.. It works like this... You need to click the settings icon in volume panel to open audio settings and change whatever you want
Hi all
I saw an earlier thread on this but can't believe that it's not a bug that needs fixed.
My phone has no apps open, I unlock it and press the volume buttons and up pops a little window showing me that I am adjusting the media volume. This functionality used to be context sensitive, ie, in this case it would adjust the ringer, in a call it would adjust the call volume and when playing media it would adjust the media volume.
Now it's just the media volume and a few screen actions to adjust the ringer.
Surely this is a backwards step and a bug?
Does anyone know of a way to change this, or an app that can be associated with the volume controls to make it work properly?
Thanks
Michael
I don't know that there's a way to revert it to a previous Android way of handling it as it's the way Google built Pie's volume control to work.
FWIW, they did it for the millions out there who don't ever want to change the volume for their ringer/notifications once they get it set, especially if they start adjusting volume for something like a call before the context has kicked in, so you inadvertently adjust ringer volume instead of in-call volume. At least, that's what I assume it is because that's what happened with me. I have set my phone to vibrate as soon as it's out of the box, and with the new way of handling volume, I no longer have to deal with changing it off of that setting until I reset the phone. I love it.

Thanks for the reply, and the explanation Seamonkey. I have to say though I still don't get why they didn't just make this a user selectable option. Pick the default volume to adjust or leave it as context sensitive.
For some of us the phone is still a device for phone calls first and everything else second!
All the best

I'm getting desperate about the notification volume thing. I'm using volume butler but it's not reliable, especially when switching to DND mode and back. Sometimes my ringtone is very soft while the notifications are really loud.
Looking for a final fix for this, my phone is rooted. Is there some build.prop that can be enabled or a magisk mod?
Hello, you can use Button Mapper here in XDA.
You have the option to use ringtone volume instead of media volume with the + - button.
You can also make applications exceptions. I use that with play music while I use Chromecast.
That's work without root.
Regards.
I used Tasker and set up tasks that sets levels for everything in four different volume conditions... Vibrate, Low, Medium and High. Within each task, I set Alarm Volume, Media Volume, Notification Volume and Ringer Volume. I also created a pop-up to tell me what profile I just set.
Then, I created individual widgets on the screen that are simply shortcuts to the tasks - one for each volume condition. Tasker comes with that widget built in. When I want to change the volume on my phone, I just tap the icon for the volume I want.
It doesn't override DND and it sets the volumes exactly as you want them every time.
When I switch a call over to the speaker, the volume is extremely loud. The volume slider(s) do nothing! I see the standard slider which can be moved up and down (but does not make any changes to volume), and there is a secondary slider to its left which is faded out and cannot be moved.
1) What is the purpose of this secondary, non-functional slider?
2) How can I gain control of speakerphone volume?
I have the opposite problem. I think the speakers are too soft. Sometimes hard to hear video and music without headphones even on max. Voice calls are ok, but would prefer them a bit louder like I had on other phones.

The way I can adjust speaker volume during a call is by pressing the rocker, then the 3 dots which brings up Sound and vibration menu. There is a menu for call volume which adjusts speaker volume and in-ear volume.

1) I believe that slider is a slider for an Accessibility feature called Switch Access. I had to activate this feature to get my Google Assistant mic-open notification sound to work. I only saw this secondary slider when I set Switch Access up. I never saw it faded out....

2) It seems your slider is not set to call/speaker volume, but ring & notification or media volume. I sometimes get this, but not consistently. You should do as schmeggy929 says and have to specifically set it in the sounds settings menu (3 dots gets you there). Hopefully this bug is addressed...
I found an answer on another site and it worked for me. In the phone app, hit the 3 dots at the top right, go into phone settings, down to "General" then to "Accessibility". Toggle the "hearing aids" on and off......that worked for me.
Hope this helps someone.
