Android :: Independent Application Volume Control
Feb 14, 2010
I was just wondering if there was a way to control the volume for each application independently. For example I was using my droid for GPS navigation and music in my car the other day and kept getting shouted at by the navigation since the volume was turned up for the music. Needless to say it gets really annoying fast. This problem stems from the fact that all the apps have their volume control handled by the media volume control.

I've been searching for a way to control the volume of different apps independent of each other. As in those apps that don't have any in-app specific volume controls. The only thing I've found is that the native android OS doesn't support such a feature, but that information is old.
While this has bugged me a bit in the past, it's only now that I've started using Google Now that's it's become annoying. I'm occasionally playing a game that has no in-app sound control, and I don't like the music/effects of that game, so I turn the media volume down to mute. But when I then switch to Google Now, the voice is on the same "media" volume control, which in turn makes me miss the spoken answer to my inquiry.

I'm looking for a volume control application (or apps that work together) to
1) Change volumes, vibrate etc. at certain times
2) Lock the volume slider (I'm fed up constantly changing the ringer vol)
I have looked through loads of apps but haven't seen one that does both, and if I use 2 separate programs they fight with each other. I'd prefer one with a widget but not a deal breaker. I currently use Timeriffic for the volume settings/timing and Volume Locker for the locking.

I'd like to know how to control my application's volume from the volume keys (contrary to my belief , I've read they control only the ringer volume). Should I overwrite the onKey Down/Up? Or is there other way to accomplish this? I'm asking because if I overwrite the upper mentioned function for an activity, then the functions will receive the event only if a view associated with the this activity has the focus, and I'm looking for something "Globally" (to work no matter what activity is running now).

Is there any way to disable the volume control button as it works on the ringer volume? I use locale, but I bump those buttons often enough and turn the ringer off completely.

I am looking for a sleek volume control widget that I can place on my WidgetLocker lock screen. The purpose would be to change the ringer volume quickly without having to unlock the phone first. I know that others have asked about volume control widgets, but the responses are not what. I don't want a widget that opens up a master control scheme. I am looking for a 4x1 widget that has a dozen or so tick-marks and you just hit the desired volume with your finger. Kind of like this:

I know there is an app like this for the iphone but have yet to find one on Android. Basically I am looking for am app that adjusts the volume of your phone based on how fast you are going. Similar to newer car stereos that go up and down based on your speed.

I can't seem to find the volume control for Google Navigation. It seems that I can only have either mute or full volume which doesn't help if I playing music in the background. Am I missing something or is there no way to adjust the volume in Navigation? Thanks.

I'm on my htc evo and dont listen to music much with headphones. I'm on a trip this weekend so I brought headphones. I can not change the volume up or down, it is stuck about the middle. Also recently when I answer a phone call it uses speakerphone by default wether power is connected or not.

I need to flash a new rom, i was using MIUI but my phone is now stuck on the torch screen (even after pulling batter, it goes right back to torch). My issue is that i can flash a new rom or load a nanodroid because my volume rocker does not work. I can get into CWM through the power options on the phone but i can navigate inside CWM.?

Is it possible (or is there an app available), to allow the volume up and down buttons to be used as a track changer if held down for more than a few seconds while playing a track when the phone is locked (similar to how some Sony Ericsson Cybershots work).

Does anybody know of any app that will allow the headset volume control to work with the HTC inc? I just bought the Klipsch Image S4i headphones with the mic and remote. It was designed for the ipone but I thought it would work for this phone also. The pause and play work, and even answering the phone works. Although all of those are the same button.
I can skip forward, depending on the media player I am using, but the volume controls do not work. Does anybody know of any good apps that fix this problem? Maybe a iphone volume control app or something like it? I did find this app (Headset volume control): But it is $3, I don't know much about it and there isn't even any comments left by anyone.

Looking for a good volume control app WITH WIDGET(S). Anybody know of one? I tried "Volume Control" by "roys" but no widgets. Worked fine, but having to launch the app was dumb. Might as well just use the stock volume controls.

Do you have any recommendations for Hero's headphones with track and volume control ? Ones that comes in the box are ok, but doesn't allow me to control volume . I've got white edition of Hero so same color will be nice but if not, I will survive.

I have hearing aids and a bluetooth device called an ICOM that connects my phone to my hearing aids. I wear it around my neck and the wire around my neck connects to the hearing aids It is great for my end of the conversation, I actually hear the phone inside my ears! The problem I am having is the ICOM output is too loud or the microphone is too sensitive. People talking to me say they hear a lot of background noise. If I have the TV on it overwhelms the conversation. The same with wind noise in the car! Is there any way to turn down the incoming bluetooth audio? I looked for an app that would do this but did not find anything! The ICOM is made by Phonak and they tell me there is no way to turn down the audio sensitivity or the audio from the little box to my telephone!

I have set up a cover page in ssLauncher to be a remote control for xbmc I'm already using xbmc's remote and yatse widgets and would like to find a (preferably vertical slider) widget to control volume, either through the web server or buttons to send ir frequencies.. One for each would be nice lol.
If such a thing exists(?) I haven't been able to find it. All I can find is widgets to control the devices various volume levels. I can't think of any reason it wouldn't be possible...

I hate that the volume control rocker changes both ringer volume and media volume. Is there a method to make a universal volume control? When I listen to podcasts using listen, I hate to have to wait for the podcast to start before I can adjust the media volume.....any suggestions?

I like to listen to MP3 with my Hero. But the ringtone volume is way too high with a headphone. So before plugging in the headphone, I have to manually turn down the volume. And also I have to remember to revert it back to normal level when the headphone is unplugged. Is there an app to do it automatically? Or am I the only one here?

As of yesterday, my camera button does not open the camera, but controls the volume. I have done a factory reset, etc. and nothing seems to fix it.

Why does every android device have 15-step volume control? Why doesn't it have a smooth slider like Windows or ios? Surely it can't be hardware limitation? Because I've had cheap phones and expensive tablets, and they're all the same.

Is there a quick way to adjust the media volume without having to launch a media app? The rocker defaults to ringer, but since I like to use the voice search button a lot it is extremely irritating when the connection error bong or success bong blasts so loud. seems like those should be tied in with the ringer vol/vib control not media volume. I looked for a volume control app or widget to go with the buzzlock and ring profile icons i have unnecessarily taking up space, but i couldn't find one that looked like it fit the bill and worked on Droid.

Does anyone else find it annoying when your in a meeting or lecture or church and someone tries to turn down the volume on their phone, only to have the phone beep with every change in volume? Is there any way to turn off this volume response when using the volume controls on the side of the Sprint Hero? Likewise, any way to turn off the sound when turning the phone on/off?

The volume control on my Droidx sis locked and can no longer be controlled by the buttons on the side of the phone. I've searched for any other post on this problem and can't find a solution. Anyone know how to restore that behavior?

The volume buttons/rocker on my phone does not allow me to change to media only. If no media is playing it only changes the ringer volume.
Imagine this setting, in my car I have volume all the way up, I get out of car and put on headphones, volume is too loud. I ether play music to where my ears bust or I go into settings and change the volume there. When I try to turn it down immediately, it changes the ringer until I let that volume display disappear. Which means I'm stuck listening to it too loud until I let it disappear to where I can change the media volume.
My little rant is over, how do I force the volume buttons to only be media!

I cannot control my volumes with volume keys on my Sony Xperia Z tablet. It changes the notification volume instead of media volume which is quite fustrating when trying to watch movies or listening to songs. I have to go to setting and change media volume seperatly. This issue started just a few days ago.
