System and Vibrate control - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

Hello,
It's my first Xiaomi phone, and after I started to use it I found out regretfully,
that not like Samsung at least, the system and the media volume control are not separated.
As also I found out that the control of the calls and the tapping vibrate are not separated to.
It's very comfortable to me, there is a solution for this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Dov.

Locking Volume Control

Hi
Is there any way to lock the volume control ?
I often find I adjust the volume control when using the HD and often even mute it without noticing, resulting in missed alarms etc.
The perfect setup would be so that the only place I can change the colume control is within a call. When the call is over the volume control should go back to what it was before and lock it.
Any apps that can do something similary to this ?
Thanks in advance....

Is there a programme available to lock the volume buttons. I also hit them accidentally and sometimes completely turn off the volume and miss calls.
Can anyone help us on this one?

I find it strange that you always can change the volume. It should only be in one place. Changing the volume on talk you should be able to do during a call.
But you should not be able to mute the volume by misstake in for example in your pocket.

Assign buttons for music control

Hi all,
Does anyone know a way to assign the buttons below the screen to a function, while the screen is off? The volume button is also useable, even when the screen is turned off. I would like to assign previous track and next track to some buttons, so I don't have to turn anything on to skip a track.
I know I can use the music control which is in the headset that is shipped with the phone, but I like to find out the options here.
Thanks for your input.
Hi all,
I think it is a good idea!
On my old Sony-E. you could change titles by keeping vol.-up pressed for 2 sec.
I haven't read about something similar on Android yet.
I am sorry if I missed this topic.
Thx!
Re:
Keeping the volume button up/down pressed changes tracks too in the custom roms that I've tried (OpenDesire, Cyanogenmod). Not sure if it's a froyo feature or a custom implementation though since I've never had the original froyo on my phone.
[EDIT]
Looks like a custom addition. Just saw the line "Common: Long press volume buttons to skip songs - Jon Boekenoogen" in the cyanogenmod changelog.

App/Patch to stop the phone going into silent mode

Anyone know of an app or update that can stop the volume rocker sending the phone into silent mode. My son's old phone volume rocker only went down to vibrate so now he keeps turning the sound of by habit/accident.
You could use Tasker for this. Create a profile that every (few) minute(s) would set the volume to the desired level. That way the phone will stay on silent at most for the period between two consecutive profile triggers.
Cheers!
Thanks though it's not what I really want. I don't want a set volume level, just to stop it being put into full silent mode by the buttons.
As far as I know, there's no easy way into intercepting and blocking volume keys. It's hardcoded into Android and can only be modified into custom ROMs (like skip tracks in CyanogenMod). But I don't know of anything that does what you want. So that's why I presented you this workaround.

Thanks again, I do appreciate it but that is not a workaround that actually achieves what I want, that would cause a fixed volume, I want to be able to change the volume and go vib only but avoid silent.

Volume Controlling

Might be a basic question but I cannot figure out how to manage the volume at my new S9 device senseful.
I had a Sony Z5C before and was able to use all kind of audio controlling/profile apps without any hassle. I ended up using Phone Profiles Plus to control my devices volume.
For Samsung I ran into some problems I'm unable to find a solution for:
switching Volume often (not always) gives me a feedback sound; especially disturbing when switching to some silent mode at a meeting
lowering Volume to "0" using an app like phone profiles always enters "DND"-mode; sometimes I want no sounds but all visual notifications
switching to "DND" doesn't affect the camera shutter volume
I cannot believe, that I am unable to figure out the solution on my own. Hopefully someone can help me out or guide me in towards a solution. Especially the first to bullets are frustrating...
Thanks!

Mute / DND not working properly

I'm having trouble with both the "mute" sound mode and DND even with no exceptions set. Based on both the manual and the description in the UI they should be muting my media sounds, but they're not. I even rebooted the phone into safe mode and set DND with mute and loaded up web pages and youtube and there it goes playing sounds when my phone shouldn't be making a peep. I did a search for mute and didn't turn up much on the forums. From the S9 user manual it says "Mute: Set your device to make no sounds.", so I take that to include media just like with every other device that has a mute feature.
Has anyone else experienced this, or can replicate by setting their mute & DND then trying to play a youtube video? Before I go through the headache of a factory reset I'd like to confirm if it's just my device. It's really important to me that I'm able to throw my device into silent mode and that it's actually silent and not going to start screaming at max volume if I'm reading the news and it decides to autoplay a video.
DND mutes notifications and ringtones, I'm guessing their wording of also muting media means something other than apps that play music or videos that you manually invoke
Use the media volume control to mute media like that
Well, I was able to solve this with Tasker. I set up a variable watcher on interrupt and whenever it changes away from all it mutes my media volume. The downside is it doesn't appear that Tasker can do anything with the Samsung sound profiles, so I can't actually use the mute option to mute my phone.
