When I try to change the volume, it defaults to the call volume , even when I'm doing something media related. The call volume option didn't even exist until recently. Why'd this start happening and how do I fix it? I use a Google Pixel btw.

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.
I've been having this issue where randomly my ringtone volume won't even work. And then when you goto the Settings>Sound and try to play other ringtones they don't play. There's no way for me to even adjust the volume using the Up/Down volume buttons. So I'm forced to reboot the phone. I don't use any ringtone apps, etc. Only what comes with the phone.
Let me know if you guys have been having any similar issues.

havent had that. *knock on wood*
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'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
Michael
