FP2 volume control

Help Fairphone 2
1

I dont know if this is a real bug in the FP2 or just a weirdness of androids volume control: I encountered that sound emitting-apps (aka games) do not care if I put the phone on silent mode, turn the volume down or anything else. This is quite annyoing, I do not want to regulate volume inside the app-menus everytime time I am in a different environment. So is there a separate volume control for apps or is it a bug?

There are three volumes in Android:

Media Volume
Alarm Volume
Ring Volume

If you use the volume control when on the home screen that will control the ring volume, if you do it within a game it will control the media volume. You can go into settings and change all three at any time.

On my FP1, I use the slider widget to control each of these volumes very easily.

Some annoying games won’t respond to any of those three Volumes though, but that’s because these Apps were programmed that way. Nowadays the more annoying a game is the more people will play it right?

Anyways I moved this to FP2 Help.
