RInger volume control

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.

Is There A Registry Setting For BlueTooth Streaming Media Volume

I am currently using the MaxdBAtten registry key to adjust the overall system (ringer, notification, device speaker) volume but what I've noticed that (even without this hack) the Bluetooth streaming media volume is so low that I have to crank up the volume in my car just to hear anything at all.
Is there a different, separate registry key to control the volume of the Bluetooth streaming media volume. BTW, Bluetooth _call_ volume is just fine.

Volume up/down long press next/previous track?

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?

Volume rocker question

If I'm watching YouTube and want to increase or lower the volume, I press the volume rocker and it says Call Volume and not Media volume, so I can't adjust the volume.
I've been rebooting my phone to get the Media volume to default when watching YouTube and Ring volume at other times.
How do I resolve this so when I watch YouTube, the volume rocker changes Media volume?
I notice that when I'm surfing the Web and I hit the volume rocker it says Call Volume.
I thought it should say Ring volume.
