Best way to change volumes? - Moto X Q&A

Only thing I don't like about the X is the way volume control works. Its like one volume for all. I know I can go into settings to adjust a few minor individual different volume settings but that's just inconvenient. Basically like I'm in a game and turn the music, and at the same time it turns my ring tone down. Any app to better manage volume control?

That's weird. If I'm playing a movie or playing a game and adjust volume, it only adjusts the media volume, not my ringtone. Same when its connected to my stereo via Bluetooth, the volume buttons only turn down the Bluetooth.
And the way the volume adjustment is handled is not unique to the Moto X, its how Android handles it on every phone.
With that said, if you have root, you can install Xposed and use GravityBox to add expandable volume controls.

I installed widgetoid and added the volume, flashlight and rotation to my notification bar. Best decision ever.

I have been having the same problem as the OP. Sometimes while using BT and try to turn the volume down it turns everything down(phone volume icon shows on screen) even under settings for the volume there will not be a BT volume.

I downloaded widgetsoid and selected the volume toggle and it only allows me to adjust the ringtone, media, and alarm clock volume. Any ideas how to get it like yours?

[Q] A bunch of questions

Hi guys
I just got my first Android phone and I'm exploring everything, but I have some question about some stuff I encountered.
A) When I change the volume in the menu's, I change the volume of the ringtone.
Is it possible to just change the "general" volume like when you can do in an app?
B) Will the new 4.2.2 update have the option to have some toggles (wifi/bluetooth/location/...) in the notificationcenter.
If no, is it possible in another way?
C) When I lock my phone when the camera app is open and I the device is locked. When I press the powerbutton the camera app shows up from itself. That's without my sliding the "key icon" on the lockscreen.
Is this normal: yes/no?
D) Is it possible to change the raster layout from the homescreens from 4 icons (width) to something more? (Maybe 5 icons on 1 row).
E) What app should I use to watch movies (downloaded/converted)?
I can't find a stock app for that and I don't find what I seek in the Playstore
F) If I make a shortcut from a folder with apps to my home screen and I add some apps in the main menu (same folder), why doesn't my folder on the home screen get updated?
I guess that's it for the moment.
It would be awesome if you would answer some questions (not all!).
Thanks, really!
Matt

b) I believe so yes, they certainly are there on ARHD 11.0...you could aways try Power Toggles from the Play store...I found it really useful when I ran stock 4.1.2
c) yes, that's normal...HTC call it Tourist Mode or something like that
A) Nope, just change it in Settings or in an app like you say
B) Yes, it does. Using it now
C) Yeah that's so you can snap fast photos
D) Yeah, there is a mod for this (root only)
E) MX Player is pretty good
Thanks guys! I really appreciate it.
And would you know how the tweak is called to change the raster size?

A) If you want to change other volumes instead of only ringtone, press the settings button on the right of the ringtone slider, shown below:

you can try a launcher from the play store like nova launcher or go launcher to change the number of dock apps

[Q] notification and ringtone go mute

for a couple of times, my custom notification and phone ringtone would be changed to a very low volume beep that is almost undetectable. i'm sure i haven't done any changes to the settings. because of this i have missed a couple of phone calls and messages.
anyone knows what caused this, and how to fix it? is it some kind of software defect, or is it just me being dumb?
media (general audio), notifications, and alarms are controlled separately either as they happen or through the settings menu. check to make sure your "Ringtones and Notifications" volume slider is at the appropriate level. also try making sure you have vibrate enabled for each type of notification (in case the volume gets turned down again).

This has happened to me a few times....not sure why but it is unnerving because I miss calls. I now check it reasonably often.
Sometimes I raise or lower my volume after starting an audio or video app and it happens to the ringtone instead. I find the audio or video app must be fully started to adjust volume not just launched.

one of the features missing in phone devices vs. tablets is the settings button on the volume bar that pops up when you change volume. on tablets, you can press that button and also change the notifications volume (independently). google should have provided this at the phone level too.
on older android versions, you could specifically check, "master volume adjusts notification volume" (or something to that effect). it seems to be missing now.

Normal Power Saving has nothing to do with it. Checkout if you have any apps that control brightness, like say YAAB. I noticed that when I enable YAAB to control brightness, the slider is gone. And when I disable it, the slider comes back.

I see you have the Tab S 10.5 .
If you notice my signature tells you witch model I have witch is the Tab S 8.4

Don't the volume controls reverse when you hold the device in landscape?
If you're holding it portrait, up turns the volume up and down turns the volume down (obviously). But if you're holding it landscape, up (which is now left) turns the volume down, and down (which is now right) turns the volume up. I have my Tab S boxed up, so I can't verify, but I'm pretty sure I read that's how it works.
It's simultaneously intuitive and counter-intuitive. I think it makes sense, and I prefer it, but most device softwares don't work this way, so it can be confusing. In Cyanogenmod this is configurable. I don't know if you can adjust this in the stock settings.
I asked the same question when I just got my note 8.0. So I'm used to it with the 8.4
As I see the 8.4 is supposed to be used in portrait and the up i inctrease and down is decrease.
So in landscape increase is left, decrease is right.

Looking for a way to separate the ringer volume setting from the notification volume

Hello, I recently bought the P30 pro to replace an LG G6. I discovered that separating the volume of notifications from that of the phone ringer is not possible on the P30 pro. Does anyone know an apk that allows this separation of volumes, I'm used to using this feature and its absence bothers me.

Hello my friend. I used lg g6 too. Making the notification sound separate is a big deficiency. I thought the same thing. I think there is no solution. But if you find it please let me know

This allows you to split the notification and ringer volume, just choose "Show Notification Panel" in the settings.

Thank you very much, I just tried this one too, and it works well too, but with a lot of advertising. I will try yours.

I just tried it and it didn't work. The volume of notifications is not distinguished from that of the telephone. I go back to the one I found.
You can try it @seacrab

You have to go to the settings to activate the possible distinction of the volume of notifications
