[Q] phone volume is gone - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed gravity box, xposed for xperia, and nova launcher and noticed my phone volume is now gone. I first noticed the phone dialer was gone from the home screen upon installing nova launcher, so I put that back easily enough. I had enable the multiple volumes on gravity box and I thought it was working. But when I woke up, now the phone volume is gone. I disabled multiple volumes on gravity box and its still gone, just the media volume control is left. Maybe its some other option I enabled.. anyone know?

You don't have volume at all or just the sliders missing?

just the slider is gone. When I go to place a call the slider for phone volume comes back.

[Q] gmail notification no longer vibrates

I just noticed this morning that whenever I get a new email, only the notification sound plays. The vibration no longer happens. I do have vibrate set to "always" in the volume setting, and also in the labels notification options in gmail.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?
I installed Volume control app from the android market last nite. Not sure if that did anything but tried uninstalling it and still the vibration is not working.
Haptic feedback still works.
Never mind, I figured it out. Volume control did messed things up. I downloaded another volume app, Volume Manager. It's got a setting for vibrate on notifications and that's disabled.
Apparently when Volume control installs it disables certain things by default and has does not provide a way to re-enable it.

[Q] Audio control customizations

My wife's Moto X has an annoying quirk where any time an app that uses "media" volume is running (even in the background), it's impossible to change the ringtone volume without going into the audio settings. The volume buttons on the phone pull up only the media volume control. On my HTC One M7, there is an option to have an expandable pop-up volume control so that even when I am playing music or whatever, I can still hit the volume button, expand the controls, and adjust the ringtone volume. There's even a check box to combine ringtone and notification volumes.
Is there any app, setting, or mod to fix this issue with the Moto X, short of installing a custom ROM? The phone is not rooted, but I could do so if that was required for a fix. I'd rather not use an app like Volume+ that doesn't integrate with the volume control button and would require a widget.
Thanks

this isn't a problem with the X so much as it is default behavior with Android. The HTC had a different method because HTC skinned Android to do what they wanted it to.
you basically have three options:
1. go into options and adjust manually
2. install an app (I don't have recommendations)
3. hold down the power button - this won't adjust volume but you can switch between vibrate on/off.
If you want an app to do this you should checkout Noyze.

If the phone is rooted, you could use Xposed with the Gravity Box module.

volume shortcut crash

So I have lollipop 5.1.1 rooted and xposed.
The problem I have is that the shortcut to volume settings from using the volume toggle causes a temporary crash and reset of the launcher. It occasionally wipes the wallpaper clean too.
I've attached a photo, and it would be the volume setting shortcut to the top right of the screen.
Any ideas how to repair the shortcut?
Problem solved:
Xposed module: Ringer & Notification Volume Unlink in ICS/JB/KK/L is causing the crash, remove it and all is well.

Pie volume buttons

So since pie I hate the fact that my volume buttons only turn the media volume up or down. I have to go into sound settings to change ring volume. Anyone figure out a way to change this?

no, other devices are just like this too.
Unfortunately that's just how Pie works. It's definitely my least favorite part of Pie. You can change it if you the xposed module Gravity Box. Under media tweak, if you enable Force ring volume control then it return it to pre-Pie controls.
Volume
A-Volume widget is good.

Question Any way to quickly put phone on silent/vibrate

Just got the Galaxy 210 Ultra, however I'm really missing the quick silent / vibrate feature on my pixel 4 XL. It's been a while since I've been using a Samsung phone, did they implement any feature that allows you to put your phone on silent while the screen is still off?
Putting the phone face down also is not an option for me since I don't want the phone to be completely silent.
Don't know about Q and 11 but there's options in notifications and Do Not Disturb on my 10+ Pie variant... it should be there, somewhere.
I just add the tile in the quick settings
What I just found out also is you can go into accessibility then advanced settings and set up shortcuts to mute all sounds with volume up and down keys
I use the sideActions app amd set double click on the power button to change sound mode. Works great.
