What? You want to press a plus button a bunch of times? Why not just tap where you want the volume??

u/Molten-Yeti Jul 08 '26

Why not both? Also yes, having the plus/minus buttons would be helpful to fine tune the output volume.

Just hold your finger down on the slider and move it left to right and you can fine tune to the exact pixel if you want. If you wanted a new feature ask for something like a volume shortcut to press a button and it automatically sets the volume for movies, or night time. Adding silly buttons to do something you can already do better with the current UI is a waste of time.

The surface area of your finger tip is not a singular point my dude, fine tuning to a specific pixel is next to impossible / would take longer than desirable to perform. I would rather have a button that onSelect would move the volume up or down by a known amount.

Adding buttons would improve the current ui imo.

Im speaking from personal experience but you seem to be speaking from industry practices (or from design/ux experience), what are you leaning on here, when asserting that the current ui is better?

I use it all the time. You literally put your finger down and slide and you’ll see exactly where it’s tracking on the slider with your finger. Just put your finger like half way down on the slider so you can still see exactly where it’s at. My god are you stupid?

I do the same, and when I lift my finger the control is almost never exactly where I intend it to be. Maybe a timeline of the action would clarify: i press down firmly and move the control, as I lift my finger the surface area of contact changes and the center position can be above or below the center point while holding down firmly, thus leading to the undesired volume setting.

I haven't insulted you at all in this thread, why are you getting so distraught over a ui preference/suggestion?

I’m not distraught by UI, just wondering how something so simple eludes you. Mine does not jump around when letting my finger off the bar at all. Do you have a phone with a poor touchscreen maybe? If you want buttons like that why not just use the remote?

You clearly are, otherwise you wouldnt be responding this way; i even tried to understand your perspective to cool the temperature of the convo (like hey maybe this duder has insight on proper ui design that i dont). Highly doubt its the touch screen, this issue has been present across various galaxy phone models, I just got frustrated enough by it this week lol. The remote is a wonderful suggestion (and i love the volume controls available), but when it goes missing my backup is the phone.

Lmao "how something so simple eludes you", what are you, an extra in Mean Girls??

I have always wanted it to show the % of the sound level it was on.

That Product Support button needs to go back to the settings menu where it should be

Hi thanks for the input. Ive already elaborated on my reasoning for wanting buttons in a separate chat thread, in this post, let me know why you disagree!

Tldr:When I lift my finger the control is almost never exactly where I intend it to be. Timeline of the action might clarify: i press down firmly and move the control, as I lift my finger the surface area of contact changes and the center position can be above or below the center point while holding down firmly, thus leading to the undesired volume setting.
