    Root A few root questions.

    So, i am looking at the xperia z3 (since the z5 isn't coming to the US) and lets just say i want to root but i don't want to unlock the bootloader.

    Whenever I call or receive a call, the in-call volume is always set to max. I can lower the volume during the call but it goes back to max when the next incoming or outgoing call is received or made. There's no call volume setting under Settings>Sound and notification either.
