Just got first Android 2 days ago (Sony Xperia Z Ultra), and this already bothers the hell out of me. It seems like it would be a no brainer to include this as an option.

Yes,please,add the option for the volume rocker to always just adjust media volume.
I always want my ringer on vibrate, but my desired media volume depends on my surroundings. It is a hassle to often have to adjust media volume (down) from within the system settings before starting an app.

Using the volume rocker to control media volume always is an option in CyanogenMod 11 and it is awesome! Too bad CM11 doesn't work properly on my device. It seems like it would be easy enough for someone that knows what they are doing to make a process that does this. Just need to keep this enabled: setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC)

Yes, I hope Google will fix that Volume problems, I don't wanna control Ringtone notification volume with volume buttons.
The best way is go to control panel make a vink option called ''control volume with Button's''
also vink option to ''separate ringtone & notification volume''
the ringtone volume is mostly different then the notification volume because it has to do with audio clip. each audio file has own spectrum or noise levels called db some ringtones are louder, notification sounds are mostly quietly!
every time I hate to change audio clip sound level in windows.

I have the exact same problem. Good thing there is already an enhancement request for it.
I advertently change my ringer volume when I accidently hit the vol button and this happens a lot.
I, like most people, don't need to change my ringtone volume on the fly, but I frequently need to change the media volume.
Please make this customizable.

I've spent a couple of hours trying to find a way around this. I keep turning up the ringer volume just before a video starts, then have to wait the few seconds until the ringer volume dialogue goes away before I can turn the volume up on the video/other media. Android is great, no issues so far, just this one thing.
je...@gmail.com
I completely agree with this. Ringer volume is generally either on at a set level, on vibrate, or silent. Different media applications and sources have different levels of audio output. As well different environments mean you need to adjust your output for what would be considered acceptable ( ie work, home, alone, etc). Nice to have the option to manipulate the level before it comes blaring out of the phone.

I am actually using Gravitybox right now, and it has settings to a) Let me change the media volume by default and b) Bring back the old button to expand the volume controls. This is also a feature in CM as someone mentioned earlier. It bothers me how this is such a simple fix, yet no one has implemented a change.
sa...@gmail.com
Before starting any music or video I would like to change the volume down to watch in a silent environment like in office. Usually I will play the media and turn the volume down. This feature would be of much help.

I agree, having an option to make the volume buttons always adjust media volume would be ideal. My phone is always on silent with notification light only unless someone is calling but not many people call any more and if they do it's usually important. I find myself constantly lowering my ringtone volume before playing a video to still have the video come blaring out of my phone. I'm not going to remember to lower my volume at the end of every video or sound clip i listen to. Please add this feature.

+1 My phone ringer volume always ends up too low because I accidentally adjust it when trying to lower the volume for playing a game etc.
Please just make it adjust the media (default) or in-call (earpiece/speakerphone when in a call) volumes ONLY. It is not a normal use case to want to adjust the ringer volumes, as either I want it full blast (if I'm at home and phone is in another room) or on vibrate (if in my pocket or in the office).

The only time I changed the ringer volume on purpose was right after receiving my SGS5. After that I either have it on or silent. I would rather have the volume buttons control media volume on default than having to change the ringer volume just to get the volume control pop up on my screen to then tap the options icon and change the media volume by sliding it and then waiting ages for it to disappear. This is as ridiculous as the previous sentence is long. Please give us the option to change it.....

Yes, PLEASE, make the buttons more flexible by NOT making them change the current streams volume, but a dedicated one or all.
Would be nice to have a few steps (just like Profiles)
Step 1: everything zero
Step 2: vibrate on notification and ringer
Step 3: notification to 3, ringer volume to 5, media volume to 1
Step 4: notification to 5, ringer volume to 6, media volume to 3
etc.
These steps should be controllable with the volume buttons.

Very surprised that a designer thought the opposite, enough to ship the product like this.
The worst thing is doing this in bed when trying not to wake my wife. I accidentally turn the ringer down and then can't turn it back up because of the annoying beep.

Please fix this immediately. I NEVER change my ringer volume. EVER. I'm on a tablet, so I set the ringer volume and leave it.

I think it's a feature stock android lacks yes. But to say it's not ideal that it's a paid feature is pissing me off. I will happily pay a developer who spent valuable time to solve a problem like this, for us. Especially as the app isn't requesting root access or network access.

I am a huge Android fan but there is also some risk. I know somebody has to be an early adopter of any app but I'm not going to be the guy that tries out the app that has just showed up and has 1 star. For me this is a case of the Android core team just not thinking. Why would someone using a tablet want the volume to ever default to ring tone volume? Less of an issue with the notification volume but again if you are using a tablet wouldn't you be using it for media more than anything else? It is extremely easy to make the default configurable. It is pretty inconvenient to put on a video or music ... and realize that you need to lower the volume but not be able to via the volume rocker.

The auto detection of corresponding volume rocker is indeed very poor. It is a super issue in Lollipop, as there is no longer an option to silence phone from Power Button Menu. If you launch a media app, minimize it, you are stuck with a media volume rocker and can't go to a ringer rocker to enter a silent/vibrate mode. Super annoying.
Soundhud is nice and this kind of behavior should have been integrated into Android. The keylogging seems to be of no issue as this app has no access to Internet, so it can't send those data anywhere. I think.

It was annoying when I had to open and play media to turn media volume down (dumb) but now, whooooo knows?? Sometime the volume button changes media, sometimes ringtones, it's just doing what it wants. Might as well put the phone down and use it as a coaster with an unknown ringtone and media volume. It might scare the person using it when I get a call, but then again, maybe not!
You do SO MUCH right Google. So much. Why do you make me want to pour flammable liquid on my crotch area and set it alight? Why Google? Just fix this button, give us an option to tap the 'speaker' symbol and TOGGLE to media only volume button/Ringtones and done. You would have saved my genitals.

Dear Google,
Once I set the ringer volume, I don't want anybody other than me to change it the ringer volume level. Currently once I set the ringer volume, I can see that it gets changed by some other app. From this discussion thread, it seems that this may be due to the fact that I have accidentally touched the volume control buttons.
Any way, this strange behavior causes me to miss important calls (the ringer volume becomes less audible). Let me know whether you have any plans to fix this.
Thanks,
Raghu

I agree, having the volume rocker default to ringtone control is very annoying. :/ Like other users, once I set my ringtone volume I never need to change it. Like ever. 70-80% of the time, the unifiying feature does not regconize that I am in a game or trying to watch a video and I have no way to lower the/control the volume other than to back out, open settings>sound>media volume. I am one user who would like media volume to be the 100% primary use of the volume rocker. If a phone is in your pocket, the ringtone volume can be accidentally pressed all the way down to "silent" and you will miss your call. Please make modifications to this. I am sure half of the users will agree the rocker needs to have media volume priority 80% of the time. It makes music listening with headphones a pain, litterally! Sincerely, -AsianMonkeyz

I guess it's possible Apple have some stupid patent on the option as it's been in iOS for as long add I can remember.

I have tried both apps SOUNDHUD and RockerLocker. But it won't fix the problem I face with the ringer volume(the ringer volume going low arbitrarily - causing missed calls). I have a feeling this problem is caused by apps like messenger and hangout which has the privilege to control the audio settings in the phone. I have disabled the hangout and uninstalled messenger - so far no signs of the issue - I keep watching.

To be fair, Rocker Locker no longer works on my S4 nor my Galaxy Tab. It
only lasts a few minutes before reverting to default settings.
I think it has something to do with the new app optimisation, but even
removing the app from optimisation doesn't make a difference.
This is now a painfully annoying problem for me again. And yes, one the
should be fixed in OS, not in third party add-ons.

I use a smartwatch, so my phone is always on silent. If I try to change the volume before my media starts, the volume rocker takes my phone off of silent. On the Samsung Galaxy S7, that means I have to go into my settings again to turn it off of vibrate (the volume rocker for some reason turns up from silent, but not down from vibrate...).
I will never need to change ring volume from the volume rocker, but I always need to change media volume, even before media is playing.

This is without a doubt the most annoying issue about Android for me. I only use my device as a media player, not a phone (and even if I didn't I'd keep it on silent all the time anyhow) so I only want the volume buttons to control media volume, NOT ringtone, NOT notifications, NOT system.
All that's needed is an option to set which type of volume the buttons control by default.

I dont need to adjust ringer or alarm volume on my tablet when I know I want to play a game and don't want to wake anyone... you have made this impossible because I must make a noise before the volume control activates and I can reduce it.
On the phone accidentally reducing my ringer volume has lead to a load of missed calls. Call it my fault, but I could help myself and prevent it from ever happening if I could just disable this dumb-butt AI.

If it's ok to listen to loud music, it's ok for there to be a ring! If I'm presenting or something then it might make sence to switch profiles or something... but otherwise, you're just making the phone not possible to use.

ch...@gmail.com: On my phone, when I change the volume there is a little arrow in the volume-control interface, that allows expanding it such that one can independently change ring-tone, notification, system and media volumes. I'd still prefer media to be the default (when does anyone ever change the ring-tone volume? I need it either on or off) but at least there is a workaround of sorts.
my...@gmail.com: Please *don't* tell them to mix ring-tone and media volumes. I had this before, and always ended up missing calls, because I had turned down the volume for media use. For the ring-tone I need only "full volume", "vibration only". For media I need everything in between "silent" and "full volume", and quite often I need "silent" but also a loud ring-tone (e.g. for watching videos in public transport - don't want to annoy other passengers with it, but I also don't want to miss notofications/calls).
I'm pretty sure that few people need to switch the notification/ring-tone sounds to anything other than binary "on/off" or ternary "on/vibration/off", so this should simply be independent of volume control -- though on my old android phone the volume rockers *also* displayed on-screen buttons for toggling vibration-only and do-no-disturb modes. That was pretty much ideal (Except for the "rockers change ring-tone volume by default" part).

This is a very annoying issue. Sure, there's a drop down that allows access to media volume, but that's a large hassle when I never, ever take my phone's ring volume off vibrate. For my use case it's a useless feature getting in the way of an incredibly important and frequently used feature. There are at least 50 thousand people who have tried an app to solve the problem, probably a lot more who would look in Android's system settings. This is an easy change, and the only negative impact is... What?

I know that I most definitely do not want a ringtone to go off while I am on a bus.
I know that for the most part if I get a real call while I am watching a video, Im probably available to answer it.
I can conceive of times that I might be presenting.. using the phone to do a presentation... in that case, no notifications and full volume would be expected... but I would expect to select that from a menu because it is so rare.
If I'm already playing media... I don't want my ears to get blown out by loud ringing... the same volume as my media will be just fine because I am already listening to it.
This is so infurating because lets say I am at a theater... and well I accidently only volume down some media that is playing and a phone call comes in... I already heald the volume rocker down.. I expect it to go quiet when I hold the volume rocker down... period. I expect it to start making noise when I hold the volume rocker up.
as it currently is, it does not do that...
The other major exception is google voice... If I am freaking talking to it, it can freaking talk back to me at a similar voice as I spoke... I don't know exactly how it would know what it's volume is pushing if there are headphones or amplifiers involved... but... it should make a noise when it is starting to send data to google... otherwise I'll just always say Ok Google as I walk down the street.

So making an option to configure this as desired is perfect. because for some reason, other people want to control only one thing.. which I don't understand why someone would want to have ringtone be different than media volume.. because it's ok to make noise or it's not... and if you can hear one, you'd be able to hear the other... so my task is to choose the lowest volume where I can hear it comfortably.

Ad #193: For me the separation of volumes is quite important, and I need them to change in entirely different manners.
For ring-tone, notifications and system sounds (touch-input, keyboard), I need
[a] "On, unchanging standard volume", in most situations. I want no risk of ever changing that loudness unintentionally here.
[b] "Off, with vibration", e.g. in meetings, seminars.
[c] "Off, entirely", e.g. in during a concert or movie.
Changing between such discrete states with a volume rocker is inconvenient at best.
For the media volume, I need
[a] "Off", e.g. when watching a cat-video in the tram without headphones, as I don't want to annoy the other passengers.
[b] Configurable anywhere between lowest and highest volume, depending on output device (speakers, headphones) and environment noise, e.g. for watching Videos at home with builtin speakers, or listening to music with headphones.
Most importantly, these requirements are entirely independent, e.g. when I want to have the ringtone audible but videos muted in a tram. If ring-tone and media-volume were coupled, I'd end up often accidentially leaving the ringtone volume turned down after listening to music / watching videos without sound.
As it is now, with the volume rockers defaulting to ring-tone volume and switching to media volume only when media is playing, I often accidentially turned down ringtone volume while accidentially starting a video at full volume.
Thankfully my usecase is well covered by the app "Rocker Locker", but an OS setting would be preferable and more flexible.

Description
Using the volume buttons on the side of the phone changes the Notification/Ringer volume. Right now, with the unifying volume update, the controlled volume will be changed according to the app in use. For example, when I open the Soundcloud app and press the volume up or down buttons, the media volume is changed. On the launcher however, the rocker controls the Ringer/Notification volume. This is a neat feature, however some apps will play music in the background or when the screen is off, and if you want to change the media volume you have to unlock your phone and/or open the app to make the volume keys control the media volume. This is also a problem in games where using the volume rocker changes the Ringer volume instead of the Media volume. In games that do not change the function of the rocker, you are left with no way to change the volume of the music and sounds present in the game. I, personally, do not regularly change the volume of my ringer and I suspect many other people are having this same problem. It would be much more convenient if the user could change the default volume control and therefore save a lot of hassle.
I would like a setting to be implemented in the 'Sound' section in Settings that allows you to change the default volume control of the volume rocker. Adding a feature like this would allow Android to keep the same level of functionality and ease of use while still allowing more advanced users to customize their device and make it more productive
