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?

So we have root!
Somebody known app or tweak to increase the ringer volume?
Thx
I have no idea!
The volume of the ringer in my X10i is also too bad.
sometime I can't hear what the people said.
I also want to know how to change it.
So no one found a way to increase the ringer volume? I feel sometimes that I am going deaf. I may have to change my ringtone, but this is really annoying missing calls while you are driving.
Ringer as well as incall volume is too low in the X10.

true, but at least I can illuminate the in call volume issue with using bluetooth headset but the ringer...
This is weird that there is no hack for it.
Just use a decent ringtone, I've not found the volume to be a problem.
hey guys
i know theres not a hack for the volume ringer, but what i did was i use a program which can edit music files on my PC, and i just increase the actual volume of the file itself. then i transfer it to my phone and it plays a lot louder on the speaker. hopefully that can work for some of u
the program i use is called 'cool edit pro' however im sure theres a couple of programs which can do the same thing.
the effect is called 'increase amplitude', i usually use a scientific filter to decrease the amount of base in a song (which hte x10's speakerphone distorts anyways) and then increase the amplitude by about 10dB's. makes it a lot louder on the actual phone vs just putting the original mp3 in.

Ringtone is decent, volume sucks.
Thanks for your solution but that wasn't what I was looking for. I want to explode my speaker and I am looking for a hack.
Cheers,
search google for editing audiopara.csv, not sure how to do it myself as I find the volume to be mostly fine, but that is the key to changing it
just lookied at my /system dump, it's actualy audiofilter.csv on x10, and it's in system/etc
I notice that in the options menu, you can change media volume, ring volume, alarm volume, and notification volume. From what I understand, system sounds such as the lock/unlock noise, audio feedback from item selection, and more, are determined by media volume. Which is the same volume used to play music/video files. I wish they were separate options as sometimes I want my music to play softly but I system sounds to be full volume. Would this be possible in a custom ROM or is it an issue with the hardware?
Have you tried a 3rd part volume manager to see if it works? All of them give you the option to adjust only system volume. I use volume Ace
I use Quick Settings
Is there a way? There are apps that can do this but the optimus 3d override their settings and have the loud click sound again.
I've noticed this from time to time... the keyboard volume is linked to media volume. Sometimes i just pull down the notification area, play music, adjust media volume, stop music. voila
Anyone else noticed that the volume of the ringtones on this phone are mixed at a really high volume/decibel level? I turned the volumes all down to 1 tick above silent, and they're all still pretty loud. I can't seem to tell if its the phones speakers not having a quieter setting, or the notification sound mixes, being maxed out. I transferred the Neon alarm sound over from my Nexus 4, and that seemed to be able to be a little quieter. But to compare, the alarm volume for that sound on the Idol 3 was set to 1 tick above silent and was the same volume it seemed as my Nexus 4 on the same sound file at about 70%
Same here. For me especially the alarm volume is way too loud for early mornings where I don't want to wake up everyone in the house.
Same thing
Same thing here. I had before a Galaxy S4 with it was more easy to manage volume for all individuals event (alarm, notification, ring tone, music) now with me idol3 5.5 I only have 1 slider to control all
I have root my phone so if anyone have a solution I will take it.
You could use something like Tasker, Llama, or AutomateIt, among others, to turn the volume off altogether during the hours where it's a problem in your home. For example, you could set it to be silent from 10 pm to 9 am, but at whatever volume you prefer during the rest of the hours. That wouldn't address the issue where you feel like you can't get a low volume that you'd prefer, but it would save you from having to turn the volume all the way down, then back up again every day.
There are some ROMs that have more sophisticated sound mixers than stock Android provides. So maybe something along those lines might work. There's an audio driver/app called Viper that has a topic somewhere on XDA. Whether or not it would work well on this phone, I have no idea.
Idol 3 loud af
Yeah same problem guys. I got a solution for you. Edit the ringtones or notifications with sound editing software. You can lower the volume of the ringtone file and that should make it lower sounding.
I'm on mobile using XDA app and I've done some searching on this but haven't seen a similar thread or come up with a solution. I prefer my Volume Rocker keys to control Ringer Volume by default and I guess Nougat has changed the default to Media Volume. Anyone know how to change the default back to Ringer Volume?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: for what it's worth, anyone wanting to do the OPPOSITE of what I was wanting can start with this app...Rocker Locker

The default when no audio or video is playing is ringer volume

I always knew this to be the case but convinced myself otherwise because I couldn't figure out the issue.
It looks like I have an app installed that makes the system persist as if there's media being played even when the app is in the background (and before you ask...No, the app isn't a video or music streaming app! :silly: ).
