Title: Adjusting Volume
Post by: plutopants on January 08, 2020, 04:29:35 pm

I just accidentally discovered this and feel stupid for not knowing it.

When the Cosmo is open, the Toggle button on the back of the screen acts as a Volume control.

Neat! So much easier than two finger stretching on the keyboard or poking the screen to find where on earth volume is in various music players.

Just posting in case anyone else didn't know - although I bet I might be the only one who didn't know this...

I have not found a way to adjust in call volume with the screen shut.
Part of the trouble is the outer screen sometimes doesn't respond easily and other screen buttons get pressed by accident.

Personally, I wish the outer screen was slightly larger both for my sausage fingers and my useless eyesight.

I wonder if a swoosh up or down that screen to adjust Volume could be allowed in updated CODI firmware?

If I remember correctly, in call volume can be adjusted with the screen shut as follows:

When in call, swipe in from the left on the external display
A volume scale should appear, drag it up & down as necessary

I must be doing something wrong as I can't get that to work.
I'll keep trying but it ends up with me cutting off calls.
I can do it with listening to music.
Does this technique work in a call?

Got it to work now. I just need to practise.

i would say around 50% of the time if i geta call and pick it up from the rocker, the codi doesnt accept touch.
