has anyone got any suggestion on how to increase the volume of the navigation app (tom-tom or google map) as listening to the DAB app at a sensible level means the voice prompts from the navigation app are very quiet?
any suggestions would be great
did you select your nav app as gps app in settings menu? You should set up as "mixed" then you can setup a kind of an audio focus
You can try audio settings in the factory settings and increase the system volume and decrease dab volume in there if it has it.
Yep that's the problem there is no option in factory settings for DAB Volume. Was hoping there was another way to set the volumes of different apps

So in various widgets that let you control volumes there is:
- Ringer
- Notification
- Media
- Alarm
- Voice Call
- System (What is this and when is it used?)
PS: Im on stock 2.2.1 FRG83D

Yes, Settings > Sound > Volume > Use incoming call volume for notifications
Thank you very much haha. That was so easy I feel stupid. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

I'm pretty sure Google Navigation used to use the System volume, but it doesn't seem to anymore. Now I think it's only used for keyboard sounds.
Also used for the shutter sound in camera
Thanks man, works for the camera shutter. But has no effect on the volume rocker making noise when adjusting volume.

Right. It shouldn't, should it? It doesn't make sense to use a volume for that sound other than the volume of the channel that the button is changing.
I was looking for a way to mute the volume rocker. I am using NoLock app so I don't have the lock screen sound on/off feature so I am using the rocker and hold down, to go to vibrate but if i want to go back, it makes a noise.
Does anyone else find the alarm clock sound and volume controls virtually useless?
For example,
On the stock alarm, if you enable the "Smart alarm" option, you can choose a tone from Morning, Breeze, Mist, etc.
The problem is, regardless of what I choose there, it always plays whatever was chosen in the Sound > Alarm tone option - it seems to ignore the "Smart alarm" option altogether.
The other problem is that the volume control seems completely useless. Even at the lowest volume setting, the alarm tone is still rediculously loud.
I've tried the 3rd party app "Alarm Clock Plus" and it has the same problem with volume being way too high and it does not gradually increase the volume. Obviously it IS capable of doing increasing volume because it worked for me on the Galaxy I7500.
So it seems like a hardware/firmware bug in the Galaxy S (at least with 2.1)
Can anyone explain to me how to use the smart alarm feature or is this bug fixed in 2.2?
I can't help you with the smart alarm. But I can with regards to the volume of the songs for something like alarm clock plus. I had the same issue, setting the volume to it's lowest setting but finding it way to loud still.
I used Audacity to reduce the gain of the song I wanted for my alarm so that it naturally played softer, now it's perfect in another alarm program.
Hi a lot of devices tie the notification volume to the ringer volume. Where when I use the volume rocker to adjust volume the notification volume gets adjusted as well. I don't seem to have that option on the Note. Anyone know of an app or setting I'm missing?
Thanks.

If you use the app "Quick Settings" you do have a option, "use ringer volume for notifications"

The app Extended Controls has a widget that has option you can tick that says "Use ringer volume as notification volume". Extended Controls is a very useful set of widgets, well worth it IMHO.
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.
I tend to use one earphone a lot especially at work. I find it a pain to need to go to the accessibility settings to enable and disable the mono audio setting. Is there some way to add it to the quick settings bar or at least have it as a widget?
