The volume key is located on the edge of your Android. Press the top part of the key to raise the volume. Press the bottom of the key to lower the volume. When the volume key is located on the top edge of an Android tablet, press the left side to increase volume and the right side to decrease volume.

As you press the volume key, a card appears on the touchscreen, shown in Figure 3-2. Continue pressing the volume key, or use your finger to adjust the onscreen slider, to set the volume.

FIGURE 3-2: Setting the volume

To view additional volume controls, tap the card as illustrated in the figure. On some devices, you tap a chevron (shown in the margin) to view controls for specific noise-generating items on your Android. Though not every volume card looks identical, they all feature slider controls.

 The volume key controls whatever noise the device is making when you use it: If you’re on a call, the volume key sets the call level. When you’re listening to music or watching a video, the volume key adjusts those sounds.

 When the volume is set all the way down, the speaker is muted.

  The volume key works even when the touchscreen is locked. This feature means you don’t need to unlock the device if you’re playing music and need to adjust the volume.

 Some Androids may enter Vibration mode when the volume is muted. All Android phones have Vibration mode, though not every tablet has this feature.

 Refer to Chapter 21 for more details on volume controls.
