Typical issue:
- about to start some app that makes noise (game, paused music player, etc)
- trying to lower volume in advance, by using the volume button: doesn't work, controls the ringer volume instead as the phone is not playing any sound yet
- start app: LOOOOUUUUDDDDDD... until i can lower volume using volume button.
Question: any way to change the behaviour of the volume button so it controls AT ALL TIMES the media volume?
Thanks!
Don't know about any app that would do that, but you can go to sound settings before opening games, media, players, etc. and lowering the media volume before starting those apps.
Stick a finger over the speaker hole until you're able to lower the volume, it effectively mutes it. (except in very, very quiet environments)
Hi, I'm a newbie,
and i feel your problem as well.
Who in the world often change the ringer volume?
Most people will want it either at maximum volume, or minimum volume (off, at silent mode)
Most people (i believe i speak for most people),
would rather have the volume rocker to control the media volume.
Is there a better fix for this? Please help.
covering the volume hole is a nice trick, but its not really an effective solution.
Man who stick hole in finger better sticking finger in settings sounds and adjusting sound levels no ???

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ah I have this exact same probelm
I have been using the finger up the butt method lol
would be nice to control only media volume with volume button
Does this only happens on the SGS2?
Or all android devices?
volume widget
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I use a "lock the ringer" app for this purpose alone.
If I could reprogram the volume buttons to always only affect the media, I could even get rid of the above app.
Loads of custom ROMs and custom stock ROMs have the option to have the volume expandable so when you tap the rocker the dialer volume appears but then there's a little settings icon at one end and you can tap that and media, notification and alarm volume all appear
Hi
Is there any way the music player (or Winamp) can be controlled by the hard buttons (effectively the volume buttons). I just want to control the music without starting the phone and controlling it from the homescreen.
On my SGS3, when listening to music, I have no option to skip a song via headset (the original ones) it just increases or decreses the volume. That's really weird for me. On my old HD2 I was able to control die music whith clicking up or down and with a long click (like click and hold for a sec) it skipped a song forward or backwards. That was pretty nice. I really miss it, but I would be even fine with skipping the songs instead of changing the volume on my SGS3
just doubleclick on the "play/pause" button
for all the others, who want the skip button on in-/decreasing hardware buttons: here is a workout for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1872747&highlight=playlist it's really helpful
Hi guys!
After using Android for some months now, I'm having some questions (that google coudn't answer).
1) How can we copy links in the new YouTube app? I can only share them on Twitter/Facebook/Dropbox/etc...
2) Is an app/tweak available to increace the amounts of steps of the volume bar?
Sometimes it happens that the lowest volume is still kinda loud. So it would be helpfull if I could reduce the volume even more, without muting it.
3) Aren't there any apps that can emulate the control of the Apple earphones control thing? The only button that works is the play/pause button.
The only apps I can find, can only use 1 button (like press the button 5 times to go to the next track). That's kinda unhandy.
Tips/Solutions are appreciated!

hey there i'm on official GB rom with official walkman player ,i'm asking if there any method to use volume keys to skip tracks ?!
try Frinky Music Controller https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=frinky.volumeKeys.music.controller&hl=en
supports more than 200 music player including spotify and soundcloud.
single press controls music , more than one click controls volume.
actually long press can not be detected in stock roms.
Enjoy if it works in your phone
