One of the few flaws in the captivate, I think, is the inability to control both the ringer sound and media sound with the volume buttons. Upon searching for a tweak for this problem, I got half a million results, all talking about the button combos used in flashing roms and various modes. If anyone knows of a mod for this, it would be much appreciated, and if not, I'm up to help someone make one.

Volume control widget. But the buttons do ringer when media not playing and when you are playing something you can do media.

not sure what you are asking for because, at any normal time press the volume buttons and it controls Ringer volume. When you play media and hit the volume buttons it Controls Media Volume. press them durring a call and it changes in call volume....
or to change any volume at any time...

yes but some times im watching a movie or something, and I exit out of it, if I want to play it in a class or in a crowd I have to suffer an awkward moment of loudness before I can turn it down. On an ipod, I can turn all sounds down in a second without worrying about something going off. Maybe its a little picky but its just one of those things that's nice to have

Hello all... looking for development ideas / possible solutions for music skip function while phone it turned off in my pocket.
Please read to understand what I'm thinking ;-)
I'm looking for anyone with suggestions to a small problem of mine...
I recently upgraded? to the Nexus S from the Nexus One. My problem is that I use the phone a lot for Music and I was using a custom 2.3.4 ROM that implemented track ball music skip functions on the Nexus One and I really miss them on the Nexus S a lot !
I have the CyanogenMod volume control music skip implemented but I find that when the phone is in my pocket and I try and find the volume controls, I end up pressing the power button accidentally on the opposite side at the same time thus turning on the screen and canceling the music skip functions. I end up fighting with my Nexus S to skip the the next music track or I just end up changing the music volume instead.
--------------
I would like to implement a Tap to Skip function... so when the phone is off and in my pocket I can just tap it two or three times to skip the track.
My plan was to implement the skip function in the PhoneWindowManager and use OnGestureListener for taps...but I guess this is not going to work when the screen is off ??? so the other option is using the Accelerometer to detect the taps but I don't have much of a clue how to do that.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you
Oxygen Rom can skip to next track when holding vol up button and display turned off.

Get some headphones with track skip buttons/functionality.

Thats an idea but I think a tapp to skip is a lot more universal and convient. Plus I don't think I've ever seen good headphones with this button... and I'm not sure the functionality even exist in Android?
Does anyone even know if it's possible to get GestureDetector.OnDoubleTapListener to detect tapps when the screen is off... I assume no as the touch-sensor will also be powered down.
So I'm looking for ideas to use the accelerometer to detect tapping... I will write some code tonight and see if there is any way within my skill set to do this.

It does exist, although not all head phones work with it and its kinda finicky. But, hey, its easier than writing code

Part of your problem seems to be mixing up the volume buttons and power button. I find this problem will probably lessen as you get more and more used to the phone. This is a problem I never have due to the difference in feel of the screen and the back of the phone I always know where the volume and power keys are.
I've found the CM volume key controls to be much too slow as they only allow for long press track changing. May I suggest you give PlayerPro a go? PlayerPro is the only music app I've found that allows for lockscreen music controls allowing you to reverse the key taps so that a short press of the volume keys allow for track changing. Albeit, this means that the screen must be turned on for the track skip via volume buttons to work, I personally love this interaction(intended or not). If I simply want to change my volume, I leave my screen off and tap the volume keys. If I'm trying to track change, I simply tap the power button, and then use the volume keys to switch tracks. I then press the power button once more to turn the screen off again.
May seem a bit complicated at first, but I can't imagine listening to music without this function now, it's just too useful. Don't know if that will work for you, but maybe give it a try. For someone like me who shuffles an entire library, often skipping tracks, skipping tracks via long press of volume buttons is WAY too slow. The short press skip track function of PlayerPro is perfect for me though. Maybe it'll work out for you too.

Did you ever tried this : Menu/cyanogen settings/lock screen/delay and timeout/screen timeout delay = 30m screen turned off delay = 30m
you screen should be off but lockscreen doesn't
it may help.
I used to skip track by double tapping the mic button on headphones.. but that was using my vibrant on touch wiz. Don't know if it works on nexus rom

There used to be an app on the market, shake to skip, not sure if it is still there?

The stock HTC headset works reasonably well. Not the loudest, though. Also not very comfortable.
So I guess, it's not really a 'good' headset.
This is a great idea to implement, i can't find any decent android headphones so this would be the next best thing

Iphone earphones work the same, there's almost certainly some decent iPhone ones on the market.

This isn't a bug, more of a ICS/JB feature that is somewhat annoying.
I have sensitive ears, so whenever I listen to music on my phone, I keep the volume at one unit above muted. If that sounds confusing, think of it as muting the phone, then pressing the volume up button exactly once.
I noticed that at this setting, the volume is considerably louder than in CM7 at the same setting. I understand many people actually appreciate this, but in my case, it's loud enough that I end up having difficulty hearing external noises, i.e. someone calling my name from across the room, or the doorbell ringing.
Is there any sort of app or setting that I could use to fine-tune the volume even more? I would like something that is analogous to the in-line headphone volume control I use on my PC. On my PC, I use the Windows settings to put the volume at 20%, then I use the rotary slider on my headphone wire to fine-tune, adjusting up or down depending on whether I'm on skype, playing a game, watching a movie, etc, without changing the Windows volume from 20%. If there's some way to do this on Android, that'd be great.
You ought to be able to do that, using DSP manager or a media player with an equalizer, such as PowerAmp.
...
Yeah dsp manager is your best option. Easy to use as well

Forgot to check back on this thread. Thanks guys, DSP Manager's equalizer worked.
The speakers are way too loud even on lowest volume when I am alone in my room. I don't need the speaker to be blasting at me when im playing Angry Birds or something. Anything I can do about that?
Update: Trying out an app called Fine Volume Control 2. It was the only thing I could find that did what I want, unfortunately, it seems extremely inconsistent and buggy.
Update 2: Uninstalled Fine Volume Control 2, wayyy too inconsistent and buggy. Still looking for any suggestions.

try volume control apps, like volume control +
Having the same problem. Feels a bit loud at the lowest volume

I cant guarantee this works as I am STILL waiting for my HTC One to arrive here in Australia but when I had my aweful Galaxy Nexus I used a app called Volume+ to turn the volume up as it was so low you couldn't hear it ring. I remember the app also allowed you to turn the volume down. Worth a try.
Volume+ doesn't work for JB so useless for me.
Volume Control+ seems to be just an app with all the volume control sliders in one place which is useless.
There's a update to fix the volume to make it lower don't know if it's out yet it is if you got a custom rom

Ugh... I wished they'd release their fixes already. There is this volume thing and also the 3 dot menu thing.
Bump. Still looking for a solution.
I remember reading about the Music Volume EQ app (on, I believe, Phandroid?) and people said they had some luck with messing with the equalizer settings on this app to turn the volume down for the One. Haven't tried it for myself though.
Yes, if you use the Music Volume EQ app and turn all the equalizer settings down to -15 and the volume down to 1, the speakers are much more quiet!
Yep, using Music Volume EQ for now. Still not as good as having a integrated option, but can live with it for now.
They should of made a slider volume instead of in steps!
Does anyone else notice the volume steps are a bit coarse?
I mean, on the lowest volume setting I disturb others in a quiet room..
Is there a mod for finer tuning on the volume available?
I feel like I'm the only one who thinks there should be a mod for the device especially because of the dual speakers!
Any input appreciated

I think the main problem is the volume level of the notification files are not all the same. It's annoying when you have volume at the first step, but you'll receive a text and not even hear it, but then an email would come through and it's ridiculously loud! 2013 and we still don't have files that are all the same volume levels

I ran into this nuisance as well. The external speaker volume is much too loud for my tastes, even at their lowest setting. Accordingly, I left my alarm volume at its lowest setting to match, figuring it'd be plenty loud enough. Nope! Slept right through it; didn't wake me up once.
I got a lot of good suggestions in my weather app app post.
Let's hear your thought on Volume apps ... ones that work well with Lollipop ... have new material design.
Thanks for your input
Not sure what volume app means. For better sound viper4android is the bomb. Havnt had it work right yet for this phone but I've seen other who have.

I have used viper prior for the nice boost.
What I need is app for controlling All the Volume levels as built in sound controls always leave something to be desired.
I've always used AudioManager, it continues to serve me well on lollipop. I mostly use it for volume profiles.
I really want something for the volume via Bluetooth. it's really low I can't stand it anymore
I remember an app named volume+ that worked well to higher the volume of the phone but not sure if it still works. I hope they come up with a flashable zip to boost the volume. My headphone volume is really low.
