[Q] Z1 volume rocker - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
After about a month of use, I realised my volume rocker has become a little shaky, to the extent where the rocker makes a small clicking sound when the rocker is moved up and down (through normal button presses). Would this affect its waterproofing abilities in any way? I've no idea what goes on beneath the surface of the phone...
Thank you for your time, and have a great day!

Mine also does it,so does my camera button!
I've had mine in water loads of times and my phone has not been affected

Complete Volume control.

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...
Settings>sound>volume
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

[Q] Wobbly volume rocker?

Hello,
I've recently bought this phone and I really like it.
The first thing I noticed when I played with the phone was that the volume rocker slightly wobbles up and down. It doesn't make a rattling noise when I shake the phone. Just a very small movement. I can feel it moving up or down when I press it.
I might be nitpicking, but I'm afraid that it might break of after a while.
Should I be worried?
Thank you
Nothing to worry about, I guess this is normal as mine is the same too.

Is There Any Way To Turn Down Speakers Below Minimum Volume?

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.

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!

Volume 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.

[Q] Loud click when using volume rocker

Has anyone had this with their X? When I press the volume rocker or power button, there is a loud, almost plasticky click that I can hear as opposed to the nice solid quiet click I used to get. It also looks like the phone is separating a bit between the volume and home buttons. I can see the sides of the volume rocker inside the phone. I'm pretty sure this isn't normal.

I had the phone for a day and returned it due to bad microphone (or whatever was causing breakup on other end). Anyway, yes I was not pleased with the click from the buttons, both feel and loudness. I almost felt self conscious about it like I'm playing with a toy and people in the room can hear me. It might not be that loud but it seems like it. I didn't pay attention to any gap. I had the incipio dual pro case on which covered it (and did not help with muting the clicking noise or really change the feel of it).
