No combined notification+ringer volume control? No non-dismissable notifications? No disabling of the bottom search bar? fair point this is launcher issue What the fuck is that shit?!

mate, I am fully aware I can do that, but then I am say at work, where it gets loud at times, and therefore wish to have the ringer and notifications call a bit louder than at home. Not only do I have to do that with two different settings, I can’t even achieve that using volume buttons and sound panel, but rather have to specifically go to Settings>Sound each time. it’s fucking regressive.
And I know some people prefer to have the ringer call loudly and notifications notify silently, but the point is this used to be customisable! It was a switch between linked volume or separate and it worked fine for years. Why enshittify a perfectly well working thing?!
I’ve been using tasker to manage my ringer profiles for so long I didn’t even realize this. When at work (within radius) and connected to the office WiFi the ringer is set to 1 out of 7 level. When out in the manufacturing facility it’s disconnected from WiFi and I’m still inside the radius so the ringer goes to 7 out of 7 level. Works like a charm!
Well yeah, “Rules” does this as well, but this only works in repeatable scenario
that’s really weird, it’s in the little sound panel for me
I’m using a Pixel, maybe your manufacturer implemented it wrong for some reason
I only have Media (shows by default), Ring and Alarm (after expanding) in there. But then again, I’m running a custom rom, based on LineageOS, based on AOSP
oh, didn’t know Lineage got to 14 yet
from what I remember Lineage has its own custom sound panel that’s different from the little bottom popup on Pixel
you could submit a bug report for it here
Afaik Lineage supports setting profiles, like on really old phones there was a work profile, street profile and whatever to change the volume according to that. Did you try that out?
I know about it but this doesn’t really fix the issue because, yet again, that’s merely a solution for a repeatable scenario
I see.
What do you think about modding your phone? I remember that back then, for android 6 there was an xposed module that allowed changing whether the notification and ringer volume is unified.
That same module probably wouldn’t work for your phone, but maybe the way it was doing it still works, and can be transplanted to a new one.
I am very much for modding my phone, because I do so. There’s plenty possible solutions to this problem, however this post is not about not being able to bind ringer and notification volume, but rather Android enshittyfying in general
Yeah, that’s true. Can’t disagree with that. I remember when I decided I’ll never upgrade to 7. It has only went downhill since then…
I would argue that peak android in general was 11
