Always Adjust Media Volume

On my BB10 phone, I could set it, so no matter what, pressing the volume button controlled media. Nothing else, only way to control notification was to go into the settings. You could also long press the volume buttons to change songs. On android, at night, sleeping next to my girl, I'll put on a video. Because you can only control the volume after the video starts playing, it's VERY loud. I just want to be able to have the volume buttons only control media. Just as My BlackBerry has always done for me in the past.

True. But. What about disabling it completely.?

I want to Turn off the option to adjust ringer volume when pressing the volume keys. I want it to always be media volume, no matter what.

Everything in Android seems to take just one more step than BB10 does.

I should, like in iOS and BlackBerry 10. oh and even BBos which people seem to hate, be able to set it so only the volume rocker control media. I shouldn't need to spend time converting videos, I shouldn't need to..

1: Hope to remember to turn down the volume by pressing the volume down key, pressing the Settings symbol, then sliding down the middle one that says Media, which is between ringer and alarm.

2: Download 3 apps, root the phone and hope it works.

Like I said, bb10 and ios just let you disable ringer volume, hell bb10 from my use has quick settings you can pull down from the top that even if you did disable the ringer, you can still toggle it on and off using the quick setting.

It's just a convenience thing. Not having to spend all those steps fixing volumes before I open an app and have it blast me with sound is annoying. I just want to be able to, like iOS and BB10 and BBos, press a button a few times be done with it. Not press the button, open the small volume widget, adjust the thing then press the same amount of clicks to turn it down.

Also, adjusting volume while biking and switching songs on BB10 and BBos is EASY.

to switch songs, just long press the volume and it goes to the next one. Wish android had that, and a pause button.

ugh, pausing a song when someone needs to talk to you... BB10 and BBos you just press the mute button, nothing else. Android ive found you need to turn the phone on, and then pause it, or if your in an app, quickly pull down and find the right touch screen button.


YES I know, I can just use my BB10 phone. But I wanted to try android because it's supposed to be the ultimate in efficiency. But it really isn't, it's just an awesome app player, with the phone tacked on there.

And dont even get me started on Messaging and Notification management. Hub has everyone beat.

BB10, BBos and iOS does it, why can't Android?

Yes, but if you want to, you can make it the other way, or the same as android.

There's the option to. Where android, it just gives you one solution, and that's that.
