Is there a way to launch AudioManager without having the widget on my home-screen?

Yes, you may create and distribute your very own skins for AudioManager Pro. We have released the Skin Development Kit (SDK) which contains the files and documentation needed to help you get started. Click here to download the SDK.

What does System volume control?
System volume will control miscellaneous sound effects such as your Camera app’s shutter sound, or the dial tones heard when dialing a number. A couple other related sound effects controlled by this volume stream can be found inside the Maps and Navigation apps.

My volumes seem to change by themselves during the day, What do I do?
AudioManager does not arbitrarily change your volume levels, it explicitly requires user interaction for it to make changes to any of the volume streams. Other system or third-party applications are also allowed to change your volume streams, so this would explain why sometimes your volume levels seem different than before.

My widget is not updating itself anymore, what do I do?
This may occur after updating AudioManager to a newer version. All you need to do is delete and then re-add the widget to your home-screen to solve this issue.

I purchased AudioManager Pro but I still see ads inside the application, what do I do?
AudioManager Pro does not contain any ads, it is a stand-alone application that is installed on your device. If you are still seeing ads then chances are you accidentally opened the free version and not the pro version. You may delete the free version from your device at any time as this is not required for pro version to run.

The alerts and ringer volume streams are linked, what do I do?
This is typically the default behavior for volume in Android. You may link or unlink the ringer and alerts volume streams at any time. To do so, go to AudioManager’s Settings and then check or uncheck the Linking option from there.

Is AudioManager compatible with other third party apps running in the background?
Yes, there are no known compatibility issues with any third-party software.

How do I set a recurring schedule for a saved profile?
To create an automatic schedule for any profile, simply go to the profiles screen, long-press on any profile and select the “Set schedule” option. This will in turn open a configuration dialog where you will be able to set your recurring scheduled profiles.

How do I backup and restore my saved profiles?
To create a backup of your profiles or to simply restore a previous backup, go to the profiles screen and press your menu button, this will reveal two options for backing up or restoring your profiles. Make sure your SD card is ready before you proceed with any of these two options.
