[Q] Have volume rocker always control media volume? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to permanently make the volume rocker control media volume? My PLAY doesn't do calls so it's annoying that it changes the ringer volume when music or games aren't playing. The way I can think of implementing this ability would be to have a service running in the background that tells the phone music is playing even when it's not, as well as having it start on boot. I haven't the slightest clue about app development but this seems it should be a relatively easy task that hopefully wouldn't use too much battery by running though.. Is this a feasible solution that anyone could help with?

Adjusting Volume in Music Tab

Hey guys,
I have an issue where i am unable to change the volume when listening to music via the music tab in manilla (using 2.1 atm). The volume rocker changes the system volume, but the music does not get any louder or quieter, unless i put the device into silent or vibrate. The music tab doesnt have any volume controls either (an oversight imo). Can anyone advise me with how i can adjust the volume?
Thanks
Any ideas?
Volume rocker changes music volume fine on mine. Check on the thread for your rom, perhaps others have had similar experiences and can help you.

Repurpose the Volume Rocker

Any way to make this do something outside of volume?
I never change mine (outside of vibrate mode which I use a widget for anyway) and figured I'd see if I could get anything useful out of it.
Does you used rocker for navigation and music volumed?
I don't know how I would use it for navigation, but I don't really ever need to change my music volume, and if I did I use audiomanager.
I'm interested in ether keeping the buttons from accidentally changing my settings, or finding a new use for it.
it would be sweet if you could use it as the shutter button in the camera app
bumping this to see if anyone has any ideas. I'm sick of accidentally hitting the vol rocker and changing my ringer volume.

Media Volume

Hello,
I don't know if it's just me but has anyone ever experienced volume increasing and decreasing when switching applications?
Whenever I'm listening to music on Poweramp I would normally need to set the volume to 85 percent in order to have a comfortable listening experience, when I switch to YouTube it gets deafening loud! When I switch back to Poweramp it goes wayyyy down... is this a feature if so can it be disabled?
Thanks
Not certain, but it could be related to the Media Volume Limiter? It's under Sounds, Volume, then hit the 3 dot menu. Adjust the limiter or turn it off. Not sure if it would help or not.

Separate Notification and Media Volume

Is there anyway to separate the media volume from notification volume?
For example, in the car, whilst listening to Bluetooth audio from the phone, I need to have my media volume up, but this makes incoming notifications simply frightening and brutally loud through the audio system.
Also, why does my media volume control notification volume?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is on the Mate 9 as well, drives me mental, and judging by no response to your question we are screwed. This is the first android device I have used that doesnt have separate volume settings for this??
I have been tempted to flash a vanilla firmware instead of huawie to see if it has the settings but it appears all the bootloader pages are down at huawie and I cant unlock it
Love the phone apart from this??
Anyone please????

Media volume lowers when notification sound plays, but doesn't return to normal after

Sorry if this has already been covered -- I couldn't find anything though.
I've been experiencing a something very annoying over the past few months.
When the phone is playing media (music, youtube, etc.) and a notification comes in with a notification sound, the media volume lowers as the notification sound plays (as expected), but the media volume doesn't return to normal after the notification sound ends. Even pushing the media volume to max leaves the actual volume a lot lower than what is normally max volume. This happens with both media playing through the phone speakers and through bluetooth audio.
The only way I found to return the media volume to normal after this happens is to restart the phone.
This basically forces me to leave the phone silent unless I want a severely limited media volume range.
Considering I haven't seen discussion about this seemingly glaring issue, I'm wondering if it's something isolated to me. Is there an app/service that I should try clearing data for to try to fix this? This happened with both oreo and pie (was hoping the update to pie would've fixed it).
