Hi, just started getting odd behavior from my volume rocker:
The default volume changed is the 'main' volume control (the one with the phone icon) . Sometimes, however, the default changes to the 'app' volume (for want of a better description) (the one with the speaker icon).
This is with the phone on the home screen and I don't think I'm doing anything to make it happen.
The only way I can get the volume default back to the main control is to reboot the phone.
I'm using a Chinese version phone running slimkat with ak kernal and using the expandable volume control.
Can I stop this from happening?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,

Hello, I have the following problem.
I'm using a HTC Touch Diamond2 with the Topaz ESSentiaL v2.2.1 ROM (German).
If I want to adjust the volume of the Phone during a call, it happens nothing. I am using the HTC Volume Control. The other 2 volumes (system and ringer) can be adjusted without any problem.
But if I press the up/down key during a call, nothing happens, not even a window pops up.
Is there any way to get the volume control working without switching back to the standard Windows Mobile volume control? Or does anyone know the registry key for the in call volume so that I can adjust it manually?
Thanks
Chris
Does nobody have an idea? Or is there maybe a CAB to reinstall the HTC Volume Control to make it work again?
I encountered a problem with my transformer's touchscreen today. After adjusting the volume with the volume rocker the first touch after the volume alteration is not recognized by the tablet. Afterwards it works flawlessly again....Anyone experiencing the same issue or a solution? I don't know if the problem was existent on the stock 3.0 firmware because I upgraded right away to 3.2.
Not a bug.
The Volume notification persists for a few seconds to allow users to touch it and adjust the volume with their finger as well mute and adjust the folume of notifications and alarms.
ok thanks, still it's kind of annoying when I want to change volume let's say in a game and immediately need to do another touchscreen input afterwards...
Hello,
I have xperia x10 mini pro (the old one) and I recently installed android 2.3 - this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15292943 "SonyBread V8 (based on MiniCM7)" my phone says.
Now before I did that, my volume up/down buttons changed ringtone volume from nothing, trough vibrations only to vibration and some sound level.
Now I can't turn volume down to nothing. It just stops on Vibrations only and it seems like it lacks the total quiet state without vibrations.
I don't know, where are settings for that, if I can change it via setting, or app or widget or if it's somewhere deep in system but I personally hate it.
Ok, I managed to find that this isn't a bug, it's a feature of newer Android and it looks like it cannot be changed via app/widget but trough android framework... how uncool is that.
Hi all,
Quick question -
I upgraded to 5.0.1. yesterday, and now I can no longer use the volume rocker as a shortcut to switch between "no interrruptions (silent)" and ALL notifications. In other words I cannot use the volume rocker to adjust ring volume and or disable notifications for a period of hours.
The volume rocker only adjusts MEDIA volume now?
What is the quickest shortcut to adjust from ring volume and/or disable interruptions, without having to go into the settings, sound menu.
I'm sure there must be some shortcut.
thanks
Sorry. The shortcut is still there and works with volume rocker. I killed everything in my tasks view window, just dragged away about 20 different tasks. And now the volume rocker shows the options again.
It seems some app was holding the volume rocker as media volume only, even when the app was backgrounded.
When it happens again I'll remove the tasks one at a time to identify the app at fault.

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
Michael
