Hey everyone. I have an issue with my phone. When i go to change my ringtone volume from the homescreen, it changes the media volume. I reboot the phone and it adjusts the standard volume for the ringtone. After a while, it goes back to only adjusting the media volume from the homescreen. Even after i use advanced task killer to kill all applications. Is there any way to fix this issue? It is becoming very annoying to have to reboot my phone 3 times a day. Thanks again!
if you have headphones in then it will change media volume, do you have your heaphones or any other device connected to you phone?
nope not at all. I mean i love the phone but this is getting crazy. I still have a worthless GPS after flashing the new files and this issue going on. I think its software related because the media volume doesnt get stuck after inserting any headphones in the jack. So i really have no idea.
same here.
Was about to post the same issue.
Somehow I get the "media volume" instead of "ringer volume".
If I reset the device it gets fixed.
If a play a game, and then exit, it gets screwed again.
Checked for any app in memory but its empty.
Whats wrong?
Thanks in advance.
The volume rocker checks for what activity you're doing currently. If you're using media player or Navigation or games, the volume will be 'Media Volume'. If you played a game and exited, and your volume stuck with the 'Media Volume', it is probably the issue with that game who didn't properly reset the environment when exited.
Note, even if you're on Home screen, if you still have those apps running, your volume will stay that way. If you want to change ringer volume, just lauch phone dialer and change there.
Thanks for your reply foxbat
Thats what I thought too. That there should be somehting in the background still running so the phone still thinks its on it so the volume would be set to media.
However, I have 0 active apps running and even when I go to phone mode the control buttons on the side still shows media volume instead of ringer.
Thanks again for your time mate.

Your issue seems to be related to a particular game you played. That's the issue with game itself.
Gonna test it out a bit more.
Just randomly I'm listening to music and it goes silent and a pop up comes.on the screen and shows a box with media volume at zero....I just have to raise three volume back up but kinda a pi pain in the ass
Hi there
I got a real good time with Chimera Rom, it's amazing at its speed and responsivnes and battery life also. Only issue that I currently have with that rom is this:
When I'm playing music on headset or without it, with screen off, when I try to switch songs or increase/decrease volume, it seems to record to signals - one for PRESSING second one from LETTING button go. That's unbeareble annoying when it comes to changing music (2 tracks at time) or increasing volume.
I'm using poweramp, but problem is showing in any music players. Help please.
Any advice?

i have the same problem.
if i have the setting to skip tracks on ROM Control checked:
volume up single click : volume increases then tracks skips 1
volume up hold : track skips twice
same happens for volume down
if i dont have that feature checked in ROM control:
single click on volume up : volume increases about 4 steps
hold on volume up.. volume increases to max (which is normal)
same happens for volume down
i think there is a conflict with that ROM Control option and the settings for Skipping Tracks while screen is off on the Settings>Sound>tick Skip Tracks while screen is off. although im not sure if this is the case.
have you solved your problem?
Is there a way to skip audio tracks with screen off?
Perhaps with a volume button?
You would have to get a third-party player like Poweramp app
That sucks. So there's no way to skip Pandora or Pocket Casts without turning on the phone?
+1. This used to be a feature added to ROMs in the old OG Droid days. Anyone else?
With headphones that have buttons with the mic let yo change the song double pressing middle button excluded from the volume keys
I'm running COS 6.1 A.10 on my unrooted/unlocked European X2 Pro.
When I press the physical volume buttons, I very often don't see the sound control popup. Sometimes it appears and I can change the volume, but in most cases it doesn't appear at all. It doesn't make a difference which app I'm using - YouTube, Prime Video. I don't have an active BT device linked or a headset plugged in either. Quiet Time is turned off, all volumes in Sound & Vibration are turned to medium, the default function for volume buttons is set to Media Volume although nothing changes if it's set to Media Volume.
I used to have MacroDroid to change sound settings based on time/location/events but that's uninstalled. I still have Do Not Disturb which mutes my phone during calendar events. Regardless of any such apps, I should still be able to use the volume buttons to adjust the volume but there are no popups most of the time.
I just restarted my phone and the volume popup is back. I know this happened before but after a while it's gone again without knowing why. Does anyone have an idea what could be the reason and how I can get my volume popup back permanently? Thanks for your help.
