On my 8525 with WM6 if I play an MP3 with media player and the volume is at 100% it is plenty loud. If I adjust the volume down to 5%, there is only a minuscule difference. I would expect it to become quieter. This happens with the internal speaker or my headphones.
If I use TCPMP I can adjust it's volume slider and it works correctly: from quiet to loud.
Is there a fix for WMP so that the volume works correctly? If I want to listen to music at work with WMP I have a choice of real loud or loud.
Hi,
When using the youtube app the volume rocker acts as rewind/fast forward and doesnt change the volume. This is really annoying. Is there any way to change this as I dont want to go into a youtube video, assess the volume of the vid, come out of it and then set the handset volume accordingly.
Secondly, is there a way to enable the notification LED to blink when email is received to the handset? Looked in settings but the option to enable it is greyed out...
Seconded on the YouTube thing. What were they thinking? Any tips?
Indeed.... can't really tell you how much I didnt enjoy loading up a gaga video only to have my ears DESTROYED by beyonce's wailing as she was in the song too
I had the first problem for a while too, here's how I fixed it:
-Download, install and start AEButton
-Disable the volume rocker buttons
-Re-enable them
-AEButton will now tell you that it'll restart the device, let it do so
-Fixed
I don't have HD2 yet, but the HTC volume control should have a custom setting for the Youtube app in order for it to work properly. On other HTC devices, it's under HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseAPClass\YouTube and should be HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseEnable2ndUI\HTCYOUTUBE. Do you guys have these keys? If not, you can try to create them and value under them, ClassName=HTCYOUTUBE and Enable2ndOverlay=0 respectively. Also, you could try to go to HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\3rdPartyAPClass, create a key there (name it anything, could be YouTube), and ClassName=HTCYOUTUBE under it. The latter hack allows to have the youtube-style volume control in any application (I use it for CorePlayer, for example).
Hope this will work...
Sigh, just found out that when playing a song under the music tab - and you use the volume rocker, surprise surprise it doesnt actually control the volume at all! It controls the track listings.
Bah! This is a STUPID idea, a shame really!!
WHAT??? Volume rocker doesn't control volume during playback? And how are we supposed to do it?
Correct. Unless it's just mine, but I doubt it?
How to control volume you ask? Well that's simple.
You come OUT of the music application and then adjust the volume, and then go back INTO the application..... Logical.
That's a damn stupid design decision. Beside the inconvenience, music player doesn't need to have the same volume level as the rest of the phone! On my HD I have maximum volume for system/ringer, whereas my music player is set to like 20%. When I plug the headphones in and start it, it's set automatically to this level - otherwise I'd be deaf by now.
And does this happen both with the headset plugged in and without it? Again, on Touch HD you can adjust volume even when the device is turned off while music is playing.
So could anyone check the registry keys I mentioned earlier? Hopefully, it's just a missing setting...
Just read my post again on how to fix it, and no, it's not a design decision, it used to just control the volume for me, it only started controlling playback once I used the mediacontrols on the headset.

Volume Rocker
The Volume rocker works perfectly for me in both YouTube & Music player.
volume keys work for volume in both youtube and music for me..
is there anything you've installed that could interfere?
Hi Fards, great to see you in this thread. You were a valuable asset at ironing out bugs & probs when I was using Itjes Xperia ROM's. I'm sure you will be here too.

Now that just makes it a whole lot worse. I had nothing installed when I tested YouTube originally. Volume controls control cue/reverse. Does that mean unit defective?

Maybe different rom?
Lack of attention to details and throughness so often causes user dissatisfaction.

Possibly. Though its a stock rom sim-free unit. Even if its just a software bug or a rom issue, average Joe (or Josephine) shouldn't have to go hacking the registry, or what not, to fix it. Imagine trying to explain that convoluted series of (potentially disastrous) steps just to make your bloody volume button WORK...
Different roms should not justify this oddity.

Indeed, it would appear it is a problem with the headset, damn bizarre.
This is what happened with me anyway...
Listened to music with the headset in and then the volume controls control the track playback, not the volume, whilst you are IN the application. As soon as you come out then yea that's fine it controls the volume again.
When you disconnect the headset, the settings don't seem to revert and once you go back into the music application, the volume rocker still controls the damn playback not the volume......
.... actually i don't know. From using my headset yesterday I've just tried adjusting volume in the music app now this morning and the volume rocker isnt doing ANYTHING when in the music application....

Resetting seems to solve the problem, don't know when the problem will re-occur though. To be honest, I don't know how to alter registries and things like that!
oh this is ridiculous there HAS to be a way to fix this.. i dont ever want these to do anything OTHER than volume.
OR have a volume control on the inline
at the moment i have skip controls on the headphones AND skip controls on the side of the phone!
Am i the only one totally baffled by the volume control?
in the HTC media player tab, it seems to move up and down through items instead of changing the volume (which seems ridiculous to the extreme)
However - once for me it did change the system volume rather than changing the items - and i have no idea why?
how are you supposed to change the volume while listening to the media player?? the only way i can find it to navigate AWAY from that tab and then use the volume keys!!!
So... i gave up on the HTC media player... and used windows media player....
the volume control was working fine.. it changed the volume in windows media player
THEN (again - i dont know why!!!!) now it doesnt change the windows media player volume -it changes the system volume - i get a little half screen green and grey popup over the bottom half of the screen - its not even the same volume control HTC app as in the rest of the system?!??!
so can anyone tell me..
1) how on EARTH can i get the volume control to consistently change the volume
2) ideally it would do this without having to unlock the device!
yes this really pisses me off. especially because yesterday even in music player it DID change the volume and not the song.
Ok AEBPlus solved it for me. i've set it to ALWAYS use those buttons as volume (and it works while the phone is locked) conrols on the headset to skip tracks backwards and forwards
if only audio manager didnt crash every 60 seconds
and this is ridiculously poor for a £500 device!!!! i dont expect to have to install russian freeware to change the volume on my media player!!!!
Have you ever brothers will fall system volume? that is when the volume give up or down, appears to work, but do not beep those sites and music player, the video player, igo, etc,any volume not work! like it be given the mute mode! have any solution? if I restart work piece, but after a few hours do the same, that falls sound system (rear diff's)!
namely crack sound after connecting the phone via USB disk drive option
Does anyone know if the Vibrant is capable of controlling the ringer volume with the volume buttons. Basically I want to lower the ringer with volume key which when all the way down will activate vibrate mode.
The silent mode that is activated through the power button or drop down menu does not put the phone on vibrate. It requires you to go via settings and activating it.
On my mt3g the volume pad controls the ringer but on the Vibrant it controls the media volume. Is there a way to switch to ringer volume?
THanks
The only time the volume keys don't control the ringer is when you are listening to music or watching a video
Sent from my Vibrant using XDA app
thanks, that makes some sense except I am not listening to music or watching a video. i will check to see if the media is playing in the background.
