Android 15 volume panel app

Are you a Samsung Galaxy or any other Android device user? And you are also eagerly awaiting the new volume panel UI of Android 15? Well, you don’t have to wait any longer as the Precise Volume app is here to elevate your experience with Android 15 volume panel UI. This third-party app provides a glimpse into the future of volume control on Android devices.

The new volume panel interface set to debut in Android 15 uses a fresh design with thicker pill-shaped sliders, collapsible, and animations to adjust volume levels. While Google has not officially released this major update yet, the Precise Volume app has brought this experience to users ahead of time.

Precise Volume app’s latest update adds an “Android 15 Preview” popup style as part of its Volume Button Override feature. This allows users to replace the stock volume panel UI with a new one closely similar to the upcoming Android 15 interface.

How to bring the Android 15 volume panel?

To experience the Android 15 volume panel UI, users must download the Precise Volume app from the Google Play Store and ensure that they have version 2.0.0-beta-8. Upgrading to the Pro version for $5.99 unlocks the Volume Button Override feature, which is a way to many other functionalities the app offers.

Firstly you need to enable the Volume Button Override feature through Settings. After granting necessary permissions, including “Display Over Other Apps” and enabling the app’s Accessibility service, users can enjoy the new volume slider.

By tapping on the three-dot button at the bottom of the slider, the new Android 15 volume panel appears in its collapsed form, which can be expanded for full functionality.

The new Android 15 volume panel may not have the media output switcher of the real one, but it adds two nifty buttons for adjusting volume and equalizer presets. In addition, the app offers precise control over volume adjustment, allowing up to 1,000 volume steps.

If you want to try the Android 15 Volume Panel on your Samsung Galaxy or other Android device, follow the above steps after downloading the Precise Volume app, thanks to Mishaal Rahman (Android Authority). This app is ideal for non-Samsung devices as Galaxy users already have the Good Lock app for customizations.

Android 15 bringing ‘At a Glance’ feature closer to your fingertips

Published

Android 15 Glance

Google‘s Android 15 is ready to enhance the lock screen experience by relocating the ‘At a Glance‘ feature to the bottom of the screen. This move differs from its traditional top-left position, aligning with the Pixel Launcher’s home screen layout. The change aims to show date, weather, and notifications in a more accessible format.

As per Android Authority, the new place of the ‘At a Glance’ feature is currently in the testing phase as it spotted in Android 15 Beta 1.2. The refresh position places ‘At a Glance’ below the area that indicates the presence of an under-display fingerprint sensor. This could make it easier for users to see and interact with their device notifications and shortcuts.

However, the change is still in progress, and there are indications that it may not be finalized this year. The relocation aims to improve how users access their phones, especially when considering the clock size and the number of notifications displayed.

Notably, the ‘At a Glance’ widget on Pixel phones now looks quite different from the version available on other Android devices. This suggests that they may have been developed separately.

As Google continues to improve the Android 15 operating system, users are looking forward to a lock screen that is both functional and pleasant to look at.

Dark Mode for all apps is arriving, thanks Android 15!

Published

Android 15 Glance

Android 15 is bringing a new dark mode feature and Bluetooth audio sharing to enhance the user experience. This major Android update is expected to offer a more effective way of applying dark mode across all apps to address the limitations of the current “override force dark” option available since Android 10.

The new setting “Make all apps dark” under the Color and motion option in Accessibility has been spotted in the beta versions of Android 14. It is expected to be part of Android 15’s accessibility features.

With the new dark mode feature, Google aims to provide a consistent dark theme across apps without affecting images in Android 15. It is prepared to work with more applications, including those that previously did not support the forced dark mode.

While this setting will improve the dark mode experience, Google mentioned that some apps could still have display issues.

Moreover, Android 15 may introduce a feature for sharing Bluetooth audio through a QR code. This would allow users to share their audio with others easily.
