When I'm in a call on Windows Mobile 6 (with verizon xv6800), using the wheel to turn the volume higher or lower doesn't change the volume whatsoever.
It may have to do with the fact that I got a new audiopara file, but I went back to the old one today and the problem still remains.
I have a registry editor.... maybe there's a way I can enable volume control again. The wheel makes it go up and down but the volume itself is the same all the time.
Thanks.
Nexus 6p / stock and not rooted 6.0.1
I got the app, started using it but afterwards the volume for everything was boosted to +100% making the lowest volume setting equal or higher than the former maximum my phone was capable of.
Podcasts are distorted slightly but enough to make me go without in most cases. Nevermind that the volume is loud even at the lowest possible setting.
Actions I have taken:
Turn off volume boost
Lower volume in mx player
Uninstall
Reinstall
Other odd items
When adjusting volume with physical buttons the slider jumps down or up seeming to account for the expanded 30 step volume but never reaches the original minimum.
While adjusting volume on my Bluetooth headset the media volume adjusts as well in increments of 5, it did not do this previously.
Hoping for a swift resolution as my phone is completely useless for listening to music or podcasts while this persists. Any ideas are welcome.
Unpaired my bt headphones, LG 730, and re-paired. No effect, everything from OP still present.
My Bluetooth stereo on my car is not effected, volume works normally.
Hmm, I would try enabling the system volume panel in options, then adjusting the volume with that enabled, so that MX explicitly changes the system volume as well, see if that will reset anything.
Hello all,
So I purchased a buttonless PX5:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/And...32849648099.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.qvQ36y
However, none of the Android widgets or volume buttons work to control the volume.
Only the little button off to the top right corner does anything.
I feel like I'm going to crash my car, constantly hunting for that thing.
Is there anyway to patch/hack this thing to respond to something like a virtual volume slider like this?

Thanks!
Why do you need onscreen volume? Didnt you have a CAN and steering wheel controls? The volume control on HU is not the same as on smartphones. It has controlled by MCU board where android board sends special commands from the headunit service.
My car came with a sport package, which meant smaller diameter steering wheel and therefore no wheel controls
That being said, the sound slider via settings menu is indeed able to control the volume via onscreen controls. It just doesn't seem to respond to the normal android media controls, is there a way to link the two together?
Then the simplest way is to use infrared remote control (if your HU has it) or to buy universal resistive SWC and connect it to Key-wires.

The only way is to create your own service or automation that will send volume control broadcast intents to mcu.
For my MTCB it may be even a shell commands:
Code:
am broadcast -a com.microntek.irkeyDown --ei keyCode XX
where XX - 19 (volume up) or 27 (volume down).
You need to find this commands for your MTCE here and you will be able to use Tasker for your own service creation.
The second way is to write service on java. But you need a skill for that.
Found xposed-mtce-utils do the job. It has "a strip of volume control at the bottom of the screen".

Thanks for the link! I'll definitely give this a shot.
Do you have any experience entering recovery mode on a deck that has absolutely no buttons?

Don't have a MTC unit but try this,
Install Terminal Emulator app, enter "reboot recovery"
pretty big fails on the trying front.
I've managed to buy a MTCE deck that has neither buttons or SD card slot with which to install malaysk rom the prescribed way.
Has anyone had luck with a pure download -> flash approach? If so, any instructions online?

I believe it must update from usb-flash drive.
Volume up/down codes for your MTCE: 273 and 281.
You can now use Tasker to draw your own Up/Down arrows and set the shell commands for them (w/root).
Or you can use any usb keyboard or other usb-hid device and set the volume commands for buttons you wish.

Volume control workaround on buttonless HU
Hi this should help you which I posted on Car Launcher thread.
Seems we have the same HU except mine was sold by XTRONS.
Like many of you on this forum, I love the simple efficient GUI of Car Launcher AG, amazing work from the developer ! yet I have come to the frustration of volume control on bare HU like mine : PE88CMPL from XTRONS which has absolutely zero buttons at all.
So I went on eBay and bought "Car steering wheel remote control buttons wireless android gps navigation", connected it to Key 1/Key 2, Ground and acc 12V.
Programmed the buttons to volume up down mute and other useful functions such as back/home/gps/answer call/hang up and shutdown.
These setups are in the Car Steering Wheel area in settings.
Those buttons are super small and come with a 3M double face on the back and can be properly installed on the console at arm/finger reach.
I saws that JOYING sells a larger one that fits in cups holder "JOYING SWC Steering Wheel Controller for Android Universal Car GPS Stereo Radio" if you prefer that design.
Enjoy
Hello, i now that issue isn't from this thread but i need some help for use an usb knob that dont make nothing on a MCU of Spreadtrum SC9853I.
This multimedia knob change only the sound level of notifications. It's possible to make it work on MCU.
Thanks

you're in the wrong forum, suggest searching for "SC9853I" and ask the question of the knowledgeable joying people.
Hi. Sorry for my google english.
I have -Px6 DSP 9 " MTEC_CHS buttonless with Android Pie- and I couldn't find (if any) a "Knobby volume control style" apk for volume control. I can't put a link from Google Play.
The idea is to touch the screen with 3 fingers (anywhere on the screen) and rotate your wrist to bring up the volume control and increase or decrease the volume. Like a home amp. Do you know of any MTCE that has it since I suppose it should be integrated into the MCU or some apk ?.
Thank you all
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
Hello!
I have a PX6 MTCE with a DSP that broke down. I finally got a new motherboard from the chinese seller and moved everything over to the new hardware. The new motherboard differs from the original one. The biggest difference is that they didn't send me one with a DSP.
The new setup is working. I had to remap the hardware buttons for NAV, BAND etc but found that easy to do in the settings. My only problem now is the left rotary encoder. It is working as "skipping" at the moment, i.e changing position in my song or podcast. The right knob works for volume. I want to have the left knob for volume and pressing the knob for power on/off.
How can I remap this?
My unit is rooted
Best regards,
/David

Almost solved it myself. The solution was to install MTCD_Tools. With this app, I was able to figure out that I had to remap key code 299->281 and 300->273 With this info I found a way to remap in the settings of the Hal9k Mod firmware.
I still don't know how to remap long press on the volume knob to power on/off. I have the code for power on/off, but I don't know the current code for long press. I.e. Nothing shows up in MTCD_tools when I press the button at the moment.
