Volume notifications

AndyP2002 — Mon, 06 Feb 2017 22:39:04 GMT

My Z5 compact has stopped showing me the media volume slider.
If I tap the hardware up/down volume buttons when NOT playing music, then I adjust the notification/alarm volume as expected and I see the volume slider with the alarm bell symbol adjusting on-screen.
If I adjust the volume when I AM playing music, then the media volume adjusts correctly, but I'm no longer seeing the right slider. All I see is the same alarm bell slider, (not moving).

Hi @Strobingflare,

Welcome to the community.

Can you please test your phone in safe mode and see if the same thing happens?

Thank you for your swift reply 🙂

I'm happy to report that not only did the problem disappear in safe mode, but when I rebooted back to normal, it did not re-appear!

So many thanks again for a quick fix. I guess I should have thought of safe mode, but "turn it off and on again" hadn't helped!

@Andy_P2002,

No problem Safe mode dumps the cache so that could have been it. I am glad it is working for you. :smileysmileythumbsup:

Ah, interesting... I see I've ended up answering myself from a different account. I'll delete one of them!

Haha it's fine. Try to keep only the one account though, helps keep things tidy on the back end of the forum

Do you lose the drop down arrow too?

Yes mate! I did. It's all back to normal now though.

I've had that happen and I was trying to figure out what caused it
