       So android has this thing where the call volume also effects the volume of typing, bleeps when sending messages, camera shutters etc, and I absolutely cannot handle these noises.Apparently, if you want to not miss calls and not want these noises, you have to individually turn off all these noises for all your apps and all new apps you install. I tried this a couple of times, but each after thinking I got everything, 10 min later, I find out I missed something. After which I wanna throw my phone across the room. I then rage quit, turn off call volume, and miss important calls again.Does anyone know a workaround / solution for this? Like maybe a dialer app that lets you set it to call on alarm volume or something like that?#askfedi #android

       there is an app i used to use, unhelpfully called "volume" or something, that lets you set different volumes for calls, alarms, notifications, etc

       currently considering options like modifying and compiling a dialer app (probably easier said than done), and buying a dumbphone just for calls

       @brettm unfortunately, I don't think that will work. My phone already has those separate sliders, and I also tried some apps which gives me slightly more control. But from what I understand, they are genuinely on the ring sound category, and will therefore change with the ring volume.From what I have heard, this is because the ring volume was originally the only volume category on android, and I guess therefore now also the default, and therefore any volume without a category will end up under ring volume.
