cV3 - Change Volume App

We offer two versions of our cV3 (Change Volume in 3 Touches) application: cV3 Free and cV3 Pro. Our cV3 app will allow you to change the volume for the 5 sound channels: Ringer (phone), Alarm, Notifications, Music and System. And, in keeping with our 3 touch concept, you can do this too with only three screen touches!

You can use your computer and go the Google Play Store and remotely schedule the download and installation of our Free app to any one of your Android devices. Or, directly from your Android phone, you can go to the Google Play Store app and do a search on Volume and find our cV3 Free app.

Look for our cV3 icon (below) to help you find it faster. There are several pages you will have to page through to find us.

Setting the volume on Android devices with phone capability is complex, time consuming and for many users, puzzling at times. We wanted to greatly simplify this process and make it clean, simple and fast. cV3 is the results of our efforts.

When you look at the main screen of cV3 you'll see 5 buttons to set the sound and one button to get to the Settings screen. The High, Medium and Low buttons set all 5 sound channels: Ringer (phone), Alarm, Notifications, Music and System. One button, one touch sets them all.

Note that if your Android device does not have a built-in phone, there will be no Ringer tone volume setting since it doesn't exist. On the Main screen, the Vibrate button will be marked as "n/a". On devices with no built-in phone, you will be able to control the remaining 4 sound channels.

The Silent and Vibrate buttons are, by Android design, only for the phone ringer. But our design changes that to greatly simpilfy the process: the other sound channels will follow the ringer sound. If you don't have a phone, the Notification sound becomes the lead sound and all other sound channels will follow that volume setting.

So, when you press Silent, our design assumption is that you want your device to be silent and this inlcudes not only the phone ringer. For example, if you walk into a movie theater and press the Silent button, your phone will be silent...completely. What good would it do it silence your ringer and have the other sound channels make noise in the middle of a movie? Doesn't make any sense. So when you press Silent, alarms, notifications, music and system sound channels are set to 0 volume (since they can't be set per se to silent). We just turn off their sound.

When you press Vibrate, the phone ringer is set to vibrate but since the other sound channels don't support vibrate, we set their volume levels down to 0 so they don't make any noise. Again, our design assumption is that when you use Silent or Vibrate, you don't want your device to make any normal sounds.

You can go into the Settings->Sound section and manually over ride any of these settings if you wish.But our design assumption is that your settings using cV3 will always operate on all 5 (or 4) sound channels.

Differences

The two apps are almost identical. The free version has two purposes.

cV3 Free

(1) The primary purpose of the Free version is so that you can actually download it for free and check it out to see exactly how it works.

Note that the Free version is functional but the High, Medium and Low volume settings are fixed and cannot be changed (saved). The Save button on the Settings screen does not save your volume slider bar values but will save your checkbox setting. The default volume settings will work for most situations. 

(2) The second purpose of the Free version is to see how it looks on your Android device. We support many screen sizes and screen densities. However, if you download our cV3 Free version and discover our screens look a little out of place or a little offset on your device, send us an email (support@tinyappfactory.com) with your screen resolution and we will add your device to our screens library and issue an app update. We usually do this within 24 hours so you won't have to wait long for the screen fix. On the Info screen you can read your detected screen resolution and send us those numbers. Those numbers will look something like this: 768x1024x320x2. What ever numbers are there just send them to us.

The cV3 Pro version differs only in that you can actually save your 3 volume settings using the Save button on the Settings screen. This capability will allow you to set the exact volume levels to suit your needs. That is the only difference between the two versions.

Settings Screen

Sliderbars

Slide the bars left and right for each of the three volume levels to get a feel on how to set the volume for each level: High, Medium and Low. While the Free version won't save these settings, you can see how to change the volume settings and if you upgrade to the Pro version, your custom settings can be saved.

If your have a small screen, you may find it helpful to set the sliderbars while in landscape mode. We support both screen orientations.

Checkbox

Note that this checkbox setting can be saved in the Free version.
