I just got a Jawbone, I'm listening to the radio through it and can't turn the volume up. I know that the back button is suppose to be the volume adjust but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is this a common problem, is there a trick, or can the volume only be adjusted during calls? Figured I'd ask before I assume the headset is bad.
Is it possible to make the volume rocker *only* control the media volume? I keep my phone on vibrate, so I never need to change the ringer volume, but I find myself accidentally adjusting it fairly often when I want to change the media volume. I'm running rooted stock 4.1.1, and I do not want any widget solutions. Is there anything I can do?
I thought media volume was only able to be adjusted while media is playing and through the sounds section in settings. Only time notification volume gets adjusted is when media isn't playing.
I have a problem with the volume of the sound, what happens is when I use my headphones the gap between sound volume when I press the volume buttons is too high.
When it's low it's fine but as soon as I press the sound key to make it higher it gets very high.
The solution would be to have between these two levels of sound a level I could also select.
I could do that with Volume++ it could add a different scale for my volume, the thing is it's not functioning right on the JB.
Do you know any app that could do just that, change the volume scale and add more options when you change the volume? I don't want a volume booster or equalizer though.
Cheers
I have noticed that most of users having problems with volume level being too low... well that is not the case here.
I have cm13 20160105 nightly and i have set that my back buttons control media volume and that means that they also control incall volume... which they do, but they lower it to only 20% and then they wont go lower anymore... the slider stops at cca 20%
Any ideas?
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
