Does anyone know if there is an app or setting for our phones that will allow me to link the media volume to the ringer and notification volume? I'd like to use the rocker to mute my phone completely. I often find that i'll use the rocker to vibrate or silence my phone but then open an app that makes a loud noise at inopportune times. I don't feel like pulling down the notification drawer and manually adjusting the media volume every time i enter a quiet area is the best solution.
Ideally, i'd like the media volume to be linked but adjustable through the pull down menu to its own volume. When a volume rocker is pressed, I'd like the media volume to snap to the same volume that the new adjusted ringer/notification volume is at. This will promote the most functionality with the least loss of control.
Users will be able to modify their media, notification, and ringer volume on the fly with the rocker while in app. Separate volume control is preserved through the notification bar or by clicking the down arrow on the volume bar. Then, whenever vibrate or silence is required and vibrate/silence is activated with the volume rocker, users could rest assured that no errant link, snapchat story, or random screen press will play something that is unrestricted by the volume rocker and delegated by media volume instead.
I'd appreciate the help and i believe many people would benefit from this functionality.

Sometimes when I take the X1i with my hand I accidentally press one of the Volume buttons (usually Down) and the ring volume decreases. Once I lowered it till the very low and failed to recognize some calls.
Is it possible somehow to disallow so easy ring volume control?
I'd prefer to leave Up/Down volume buttons for Voice/Speaker volume control but disable for Ring volume.
Thanks.
I think AE Buttons Plus cna map any key. So you might be able to just re-map the volume key to nothing.
Yeah, this volume problem happens to me too sometimes. Really sucks!
Nop. Not good.
The Volume buttons are used in many ways.
- to inc/dec Ring volume before a call,
- to inc/dec Speaker volume during the call.
I'd like to still be able increase/decrease the Speaker volume during the call but to disable the Ring volume control through those buttons.
Sure there are some Registry keys can be edited but the question is which ones?
it seems that sometimes my ringer volume has changed, maybe some apps,games when i change media volume affects ringer.
any way is there a way to lock the ringer at a set level and not have access to ringer volume from the two buttons ?
i too would love to have this feature.
Does anyone know if the Vibrant is capable of controlling the ringer volume with the volume buttons. Basically I want to lower the ringer with volume key which when all the way down will activate vibrate mode.
The silent mode that is activated through the power button or drop down menu does not put the phone on vibrate. It requires you to go via settings and activating it.
On my mt3g the volume pad controls the ringer but on the Vibrant it controls the media volume. Is there a way to switch to ringer volume?
THanks
The only time the volume keys don't control the ringer is when you are listening to music or watching a video
Sent from my Vibrant using XDA app
thanks, that makes some sense except I am not listening to music or watching a video. i will check to see if the media is playing in the background.
When I first got the tablet I baaaarely.... could hear any Audible Selection sounds like clicking Back or Home. I adjusted every volume bar and rocker at my dispose with no luck. I downloaded a third party app that allowed me to adjust "System Volume" which fixed the audio level issue. I could now hear the unlock sound and the Audible Selections.
Why is there no native way to adjust the the System Volume? Anyone else experience this issue?
Hear is the break down:
The First volume bar represented with a speaker icon adjusts ONLY the Music Level(Instruction books says that this volume bar should adjust the system Volume level.)
The Second volume bar represented with a Bubble with Exclamation in it adjusts both the Alerts and Ringer Volume.
The Third Volume bar represented by an alarm clock or course only adjusts the alarm volume.
Also, The volume rocker only adjusts the music level only not the system volume level.
Looks like there is a firmware boo boo. Sammy needs to push a fix. What I don't doubt is that they're aware issue and probably will not fix it until touchwiz is pushed.
Like I mentioned in the previous thread, it's dumb and my EVO had the same issue.
I think it's caused by putting your phone/tablet into silent mode and it forgetting to unlock the system volume again. They probably forgot to enter statement in the code to tell it "BE LOUD AGAIN."

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I understand that.
Just wondering why the the volume rocker or any other volume setting will not adjust the system volume level unless I install this third party app.
I've not had this issue with my android devices and this feature is adjustable on my Captivate and Nexus S.
I'm currently using playerpro which I love but can't find an answer to track selecting using volume up/down. It doesn't work within playerpro, neither does jays sound control or Physical button music control under Xposed.
I did use Gravitybox which worked but it messed up volume control settings. Basically notification volume changed to alarm volume. No idea why but needs fixing.
So how can I change tracks using volume up/down on my phone and headphones when the screen is off?
