Behaviour of Volume slider - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I searched for this, but couldn't find a satisfying answer... Until now I always used profile software, but figured it's too much overhead for what I need, I essentially only change the ring volume depending on situation.
Now when I use the volume slider on the Homescreen, the left Volume slider moves (the one with the PDA symbol). However, this doesn't influence the ring volume, which I would need. I never need to adjust the click volume...
Is there some setting to change the behaviour of the volume slider?
On a sidenote: I also noticed that the speaker volume while using the phone is too high, even when I'm in a call and move the slider to the lowest position. Can this be reduced somewhere?

Better Sound volume configuration

Hi,
I have a question regarding sound settings.
I want to be able to turn up the volume so that if I receive an sms I will have high volume but I want a low sound level screen tapping sound (e.g. when clicking on the start button on top left of the screen).... So basically I move the volume slider to a higher sound level but obviously this increases the sound level for the "Events (warnings, system events)". I dont want to completely turn off all "event" sounds but just want it at a lower level...
Is there any way to be able to modify the settings so that these two have separate sound volume settings.
I currently also have screen taps and hardware button taps turned off.
Thanks,
A.
you could take the screen tap sound and make a copy with the volume reduced by a few dB.

Side scroll wheel for volume control ?

Hello,
Is it possible to affect permanently the side scroll Jog/Wheel to volume function (up/down) instead of the classical menu scrolling function?
Unfortunately, this button (side wheel) does not appear in the key parameters menu.
Is there any registry value to activate it, or any software to install?
PS. This function exist by default in HTC Excalibur/s610 for example, where one can affect the side Jog to menu navigation/scrolling or just to volume control.
Thanks in advance,
Cyrus.
The big question is, why the hell would you want to change a full wheel control into a useless jog volume control. How often do you change the volume on your phone?
No offence but i just cannot understand why you would want to.
On my phone i map the side button to vibra switch when held down so you can change between ring and vibrate.

The answer can be as easy and simple as the one of El_Mariachi
Let’s say that I realised this need when using TomTom in the car...
As my Trinity sound is always low (1st case or just vibrate) on classical use. When using the Trinity in the car and starting TomTom... The sound is really low and practically not audible (always forgot to increase it before)
And believe me that when driving and trying to switch to today screen and then clicking the sound icon and increasing the sound just by your fingers is a highly not recommended thing to do
Get some software with profile switching ability.

I use CoPilot as an alternative to TomTom and CP maps the jog wheel to volume control whilst it is running. Very useful but more importantly it demonstrates that it can be done.
@ Loboman & Jazza: Thanks for the helpful informations.
As an information: In TomTom ,the side wheel also controls the volume (but only the TomTom volume). The main volume is always the one of the phone. Meening taht if the phone sound is low... Even if the TomTom volume is at the maximum, the resulting volume is low.

Headphone volume...

Unlike all the other volume related posts I've found, I seem to have the opposite problem LOL
When working, or late at night when everything else is dead quiet, I've been using my HD to listen to radio / youtube (ok, not strictly working then ), but I'm finding that even on the lowest setting, the volume is actually very loud.
One more down click on the volume buttons turns the volume off, but one click up from silent is too loud for background noise.
I know I could adjust it via the on-screen volume slider app, but that's just a faff!
Is there any way to adjust the volume control buttons so that it takes (say) 10 or 20 clicks to get from off to max, rather than just 3 or 4 as it does now?
Or perhaps I'm just getting old ("turn that racket down son" as my Dad used to tell me...)
Stupid thing is that with the Diamond you could also adjust the volume in the same way (taking steps of 3 bars in the volume overview) but when touching the screen you could increment/decrement with 1 bar accuracy, allowing much better volume control. When I try this on the HD, it skips 3 bars as well...
Argh why remove this feature??
dunno - but it's begining to do my head in...
I've resorted to digging out an old set of headphones which have a volume dial on them
Just tested the mp3 player and found the same problem, very annoying. Be good if someone could make a fix
If you're using Coreplayer, you could assign the volume button to control the volume up and volume down. In addition, in the setting you could choose whether to change the volume in 1% or 10% increments. I always use this option to get the EXACT volume that I want. This is very important when I listen to music before going to bed. With the 10% increment default, it is too loud for me to fall asleep even at 10% loudness, hence I always use this feature in Coreplayer.
Nice on eaglesteve, cheers
I wasn't using it, but at least I know now that I could

That works OK for me, can adjust to the single bar you click on with more resolution than the buttons - I also need to do this to get a low enough headphone level.

some questions about customization...

hi there!
i just got my hd last week and i played around with it only a little with help and advise from a friend whos active here on the board...
still i have some questions about some things i was unable to solve:
1.) the sound of my phone while playing music via earplugs is way too loud. while 20% were set as default when switching the phone on in the first place, setting the volume to 1 or 2% still is too loud for me. how can i adjust the sound volume to a more "normal" level? (meaning that i can set the volume to ~5% as "hard to hear anything" and 100% as "extreme loud"). don't get me wrong. i like loud music but this is definitly too much... using the slide2play-player is sth like a workaround for this since it comes with a seperate volume controller but this isn't a real solution...
2.) how do i set the sound volume via the side-buttons in SMALL steps? like 2% per click. clicking up or down once in/decreases the volume by ~20%. this is no way to use this. especially combined with problem #1...
3.) this is nothing software-related, but i'm searching for a (wired) headset for my touch hd with a control on it to adjust the volume, control the music player (play, pause, next and last track), take and end calls. like the hpm-82 for sony-ericsson handys. important: in-ear-plugs! searched around a bit, but found nothing...
noone here with an idea?
For me was also very loud, but now i'm using WMP with which also i can adjust loudness.....But with any player and you can adjust with it....
for #1: is there a "general" volume setting (somewhere hidden in windows) i can adjust?
there are some tweaks in advanced config which help you BOOST the volume but for decreasing it i dont know. anyway about #2 it's an issue that i would like to see solved as well... i somewhat managed to sortof workaround it by invoking the menu screen with the volume hardkeys and then tapping on the desired volume level directly with finger. of course it's all but handy, still it works.

Using slider to change volume continuously instead of discretely

Is there a way to change the volume with the slider such that it doesnt round up or round down like samsung?
I want to be able to change the volume to between 0 and 6.7% because the volume at 6.67% is too loud for me with headphones on.
