app to control Volume with the Ring - Samsung Galaxy Watch

I am kind of perplexed about the Media app built into the Galaxy Watch. It works fine, but on the display there is a Foward and Back track button, but the ring controls this also, why do I have to click the volume button to control the volume! Why cant there either be a button on the main screen of that app or let me use the ring!
I have been looking all over for an app that would let me control the volume with the Ring but to no avail on the Samsung store. Any ideas?
would be super helpful! then you would have one screen control everything!

Because it makes more sense to think that normally most people the first thing they do is press play and set the volume they want. Once set the thing they are going to use more often is the next and previous track and not the volume control.
You may think "but why?"
These days most of the audio we get on apps like Spotify, iTunes and others don't have big variations on loudness from one track to another and/or they include settings in the app so you can set them on to normalize the volume, that includes the Samsung music app, making it easier as you don't need to be turning it up and down each time a new song starts.
It could be done? Yes.
Will be? Idk, and really don't care that much because I use more the widget than the app and volume control it's really easy to access when needed in both.
You should try to make the suggestion to give you the option to configure it that way on the Samsung forums or in the galaxy store on the app.

Volume control Alternative

Any programs out there that will allow you to adjust the call volume using the up and down nav. I notice these buttons don't do anything during the calls now. why not remap them so they adjust volume?
Anyone know of a hack that will do this. That touch strip is the stupidest idea ever. I cannot believe people agreed to having that thing on the phone.

Yup, I downloaded and tried that app but the issue is you have to upen an application, choose the volume, click ok, wait 3 seconds, then it is applied, then you gotta close it.
I really want to know if there s a way to map the up and down so I press up, and the volume goes up a notch during a call.
I hate the jogger, but it is simpler than that application

Repurpose the Volume Rocker

Any way to make this do something outside of volume?
I never change mine (outside of vibrate mode which I use a widget for anyway) and figured I'd see if I could get anything useful out of it.
Does you used rocker for navigation and music volumed?
I don't know how I would use it for navigation, but I don't really ever need to change my music volume, and if I did I use audiomanager.
I'm interested in ether keeping the buttons from accidentally changing my settings, or finding a new use for it.
it would be sweet if you could use it as the shutter button in the camera app
bumping this to see if anyone has any ideas. I'm sick of accidentally hitting the vol rocker and changing my ringer volume.

[Q] control all volume levels with the volume buttons?

hey guys.
i currently use Volume Button Controller and it does an excellent job at keeping my volume levels where I set them. unfortunately i have to set them through the actual app. if i change the volume up or down with the volume keys it only affects the ringer or media, depending on where i do it.
is there an app, or better way a framework edit, that will make the volume buttons control all the volume levels at once? i'm willing to try smali or xml edits as necessary. just need guidance as to where.
thanks!
I use audio manager and use the widget or you can load it in the taskbar. It will let you adjust system volume, media volume, ring volume, in call and alert volume. Nice and easy.
yeah Volume Button Controller has a widget as well and it works well. that's not my question.
i'm asking if there is a way to make it a permanent change so that the volume buttons control ALL volume levels simultaneously without having to open an app or use a widget.
BUMP...
nobody has ever felt the need for this mod?
here's from JsChi, who can do anything with Android but as I understand is very busy with all the other requests:
I'm thinking it certainly would be possible to do what you want, and it would likely be in framework.jar

anyone?
I found your post because I was googling for the exact same thing. Here's the only solution I could find... search for Master volume control by SanelS in the market.
I was going to try it out, but there are some negative comments in the market that made me hesitate... I also would hate to turn down the master volume and realize in the morning that it turned down the alarm sound as well.
Let me know if you end up trying it out...

Bump. I'm looking for the same thing...
There are some ways you can do it with tasker. I've got my audio drop to zero when on silent (but not on vibrate) and I also have it reduced when I plug headphones in. I can post my profiles if you are interested.
I am pretty sure you can do the same for the volume buttons.

[q] Headphone controls

I prefer my controls on my headphones to skip tracks instead of adjusting the volumes. Is there any way to change that or is the only solution to download an app for it?
I user poweramp and with that you can easily go to the next track by holding the mute button for about a second. There is also an option to change it to a double/triple click combination.
My sgs1 worked this way as well, however I used CM7/9 with it.

Is there a way to change volume button default to media instead of ringtone?

ia there a way to change volume button default to media instead of ringtone?
I couldn't care less if my ringtone is loud or not. I'm always just wanting to change media volume.
On previous Android devices like lg g4 and Samsung galaxy, if you are watching media, The volume button will control media by default. This doesn't seem to happen on the pixel. Quite annoying as it always just changes the ringtone volume then you have to change it by tapping on the media symbol.
Anyone know of any mods perhaps?

You can try the app Rocker Locker from the Play store. That said though, when I'm playing a media file whether online or locally, pushing the volume buttons do change play volume.

It's a bit of a battery drain I hear, I found a profile in taker that does it. I'll see tasker goes battery wise.

I don't assume that you are an idiot, but most people assume that I am one, or anyone else, by default. So in this spirit I will tell you that you can press a volume button, then touch a downward bracket icon, like this "^" but downward, and then change any volume you want.
If you are not an idiot, you still have to surmount your original problem. If you are, your problem is now solved. It's a win win... if you are an idiot.
