One thing I like about Samsung phones that I don’t find on other devices is how they handle the volume when any volume rocker is pressed. When either button is pressed, you will first have the option to control the ringtone volume, but then, using the settings button on the side, you can configure the notification, media, alarm volume mode, etc. On other phones, you have to actually play the media file to control the media volume, or dig into the settings to make changes.

Today I will talk about a great application that intelligently controls the various volume modules on your Android device. The name of the app is Continuous Volume Control – sure, with this app you can control the volume of your phone, but that’s not all. Let’s take a look at the different features the app offers to make our lives easy.
Persistent volume control for Android
When you install Persistent Volume Control, it will list all the independent volume controls on your phone. You may not even be aware of most of them. The app also adds a notification drawer control to handle the volume of individual modules. Furthermore, it shows the approximate level at which each volume control is set with a single swipe on the screen.
Persist allows you to configure various profile settings where you can control the volume based on your location and surroundings. You can create an office profile for minimal sound and a home profile for high ringer and media volume. These presets can be applied using the notification drawer in the free version. But in the paid version for $3.49, the app gives you great features that allow you to apply these presets automatically.
Location, time, schedule and volume triggers – there are many triggers you can choose from to automatically apply presets. Just like for the location-based preset trigger, you’ll be asked to choose the location and radius of action. After you save the setting, the app will automatically apply the preset volume setting whenever you are in that area.
Hot Tip: If you want to automatically switch home and office modes, you’ll have to create two location-based triggers.
In the settings you have a volume lock when the phone is locked along with the ability to choose notification widgets. There’s an experimental feature here that can set different alert levels for ringtones and notification tones. This is useful when you want to ignore your WhatsApp and Messages pings, but still want to keep the ringer loud.
Hot Tip: The app can be used by Samsung Galaxy S4 and S5 users who are experiencing ringtone volume reduction for no reason after upgrading to Lollipop. The bug lowers your notification volume when the phone is idle for a while, but using Persistent Volume Lock fixes the problem.
Conclusion
So that’s how you can use this simple app to manage the volume on your device in a smarter way. The free version is great for beginners who just need simple volume controls. But if you really need the core settings to make sure you always have the right volume on your Android, an app purchase is also a great option.
