hi!
I have a small wish:
I would like to avoid that people in my office hear when I dial a number in the sound Normal profile.
If I go to Settings/sounds and try to diminuish the System Volume (on the bottom of the screen) also the Rings volume will change?
If I use the Vibrate profile, fine no problem there is no sound. But that is not what I would like..
Maybe you have an Idea
Hey, if you use the volume rocker on the side you have the option to decrease the system volume and ring volume.
So decrease the volume on the rocker and then look at the top of the screen... click "System" and decrease the volume to zero.
Hope that helps

If you just wanna turn off the sound when dialing a number go to settings => personal => phone. There you you should find an option to change the behaviour when using th edial pad (nothing, vibrate, short sound etc)
May be this helps
in Homescreen - Phone / Options / Phone bookmark / Keypad: Off
Why are u starting the same threat 3 times ?!
Hello everyone, is there a way to make sure that the buttons to change the volume on the headphones can change the song?
thank you very much

Yes just doubletap the answer button , triple to go back or something like that test it out for yourself
I use the philips headset app (free in the play store). Allows you to control your music player with the single button on the headset, adjust the button press settings, and tune the sound a bit. I've tried a few of the other free control apps and found this one to be the best free app to do the job.
The best feature of this app is the fact that you can adjust what the button presses do...with other apps you have to pay in order to get that function.
Everything works perfect and thank you all for your help
I didn't find anything with the search function, so here it goes:
Whenever you're on the homescreen with your One, and use the volume keys, normally my ringtone/notification volume changes, and I can make the phone go to silent/vibrate mode. If I played a game or used an other sound-using app, close it, and go back to the homescreen and try to change the volume again, it changes the media volumes. It's almost as if the audio process is still running and the One thinks it needs to change the media volume instead of ringtone/notification volume.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? (Or is it a feature, and if so, how can change/fix it?)
Thanks

Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds (you will see the back/home buttons flash and a countdown) and it will do a full restart.
Cool... Someone is making an inquiry about operation of the volume button and you suggested a restart sequence?
Anyways! Try pressing once the volume button. A mini volume window should pop up there should be a button on the right corner. Pressing it will direct you to the complete volume settings window.

Thanks for your reply. Your solution is not exactly what I meant, first of all there is no button on the right corner when changing the media volume. Only when changing the notification/ringtone volume. Second of all I'm not sure I explained well enough what the problem is, so I'll try again:
Situation: A fresh rebooot. When you are on your home screen and change the volume, you'll change the volume of your notifications and ringtone. This is what I want and works fine, when you put the volume all the way down it will go to vibrate mode, or silent mode. Perfect.
Now when I played a few games or listened to some music, closed those apps and I am back on the homescreen. I change the volume with the volume keys but instead of changing the notification and ringtone volume I change the media volume. I can't set my One to vibrate or silent using the volume keys now. This is not what I want, since I want the behaviour as I described earlier.
If I now go to settings -> Sounds -> Volumes I can ofcourse change the volumes I want, but this is more actions than I want to, and apparently isn't necessary as well. Change the ringtone volume there, then going back to the homescreen and using volume keys again, it still changes the media volume, again, this is not what I want.
So the problem is that after playing games/music the volume keys won't revert back to changing the notification/ringtone sounds but in stead keeps changing the media keys.

Doesn't happen here. do you have an exact sequence of which games/music apps you have been using? It possible that one of them is not closing down properly, have you tried going to the app manager and seeing which programs are running then force closing possible culprits until you find which is giving the problem?

After trying to find the problem for a week I haven't come across an particular app or sequence before it happens. Force closing every possible running app that uses audio also doesn't revert back to notification sound changing. I'm out of ideas for now..
Yeah doesn't happen to me either and i'm on firmware 1.28 stock and urooted.
It's a feature not a bug

Try opening Recent Apps and swipe away the game.
Then try again.

I understand this question was posted months ago, but I too am having this exact issue with my One, and was curious if you ever found a solution. thanks
Same thing happens on my HTC one X. Only when i dismiss ALL apps from recent, it reverts back to normal...
thanks

Thanks, that solved it for me. Sometimes you gotta start at the basic steps when troubleshooting, don't just jump in head first.

I've seen the same issue with my Moto X now a year later. For me, the only fix has been the same that's referenced above--to go to the recent apps menu and swipe away the app that initiated the switch to controlling media volume as opposed to ringtone volume. Seems to work pretty well for me.
App is still active
Hey, I was having the exact same problem. It just started recently and I just figured it was because of a game (Real Racing 3). Even though I wasn't in the game, I guess it was still active in memory and keeping hold of the media output. I killed the app and my ringtone volume buttons work normally now.
Hello.
I just got my new Xperia z1 and facing some issues.
Normally when a phone is in vibrate or silent mode, there should be no sound from the device.
However with this phone, when I open games application (every games I tried) the sound come out.
I tried reboot, factory restore but nothing happened. It still works like normal mode although i chose vibrate and silent mode.
I tried Setting>>Sound>>Volumes and minimize the volume of "music,video,games & other media" and "Ringtone and notifications" then it work during the silent mode but then when I changed back to normal mode the sound just not come out.
I wonder if it's my mistake of setting something or what's wrong with my phone.
Sorry for my poor English language knowledge but Please help me...
Thank you in advance
As you have already found out there are two different kinds of sounds:
Using the normal, vibrate or silent option does just change the volume for ringtones and notifications, it does not change the volume for media and games.
You will also notice that using the volume rocker while being on your home screen or a non-media app will adjust the ringtones volume and using it in a game or media player will change the media volume, there will be a different symbol displayed.
I usually don't use the menu for adjusting the volume, but the volume rocker. If you want to make sure that media volume is turned down before opening am app, you will have to enter the menu though.

Thank you for your reply. I thought by changing the mode to vibrate or silent, the volume of media and games will also change to silent.
I wish there is some way that i can control media and games volume by changing sound mode, but it seems no.
Will be using volume rocket from now on. Thank you for your explanation. :good:
Hey, so before I updated to Pie when I hit the volume button it would increase/decrease the type of audio my phone was using at that moment. For example, if I was listening to music the media volume would be adjusted. If my phone was just on the home screen it would default to ringer/notification volume.
Now with Pie it always goes right to media volume. You have to hit the little gear icon to adjust the other volume types.
The previous Android OS's had that cool drop down feature so you could quickly see and set all the other volume types right then and there, without having to go to a whole new screen, like it is now with Pie and that gear icon.
Am I missing something in the audio settings that let you change it back to the old way?
Thanks.
Thr funny thing is: When using the instagram app I get both volume changers:
note that it will still adjust in-call volume while you're in a call, but otherwise it will always default to media. (ditto the previous comment, huge win for me personally)
