@JohnnyShoulder You can't, and it isn't - this is baked in to Pie (Boom Boom) now.
I've found an app that gets around it - but I'm yet to test it with media playing to see if it switches properly. I'm guessing it won't though.

hey do we have an E3 thread anywhere, i thought being this close to it there would be a place we could talk about it? @Tasuki

"I pity you. You just don't get it at all...there's not a thing I don't cherish!"

"Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!

@KALofKRYPTON I able to do it on my phone, under Settings - Sounds - Default Volume Button Control.

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

@JohnnyShoulder not on my Xperia running Android 9.

@KALofKRYPTON I've got a Huawei on Android 9, so can only assume it is something Sony is doing with the UI.

@JohnnyShoulder that's more something Huawei is doing with their customisations.

Sony tend to tread pretty close to stock Android these days. Which is mostly a good thing, but in this case, not.

@RogerRoger I've found an (old) APK for a button configuration app that sorts it. Behaves well when media is focused too so I've sorted it now. Will link if you want it.
The clock thing is actually doing my nut in though! πŸ™„πŸ˜¬

@KALofKRYPTON Ah I see. I actually don't mind the new volume controls as I listen to a lot of music whilst I'm traveling to and from work, and my phone is on silent for the majority of the day any way.

@RogerRoger No worries.

It's this 'clock above clock' thing. I've maintained essentially the exact same homescreen layout for many years, and the notification bar has pretty much always been status stuff to the right, and notifications on the left. But now, becuase of Samsung and their 'notch'... 😠

@RogerRoger Ha!

I very rarely use my laptop unless there's something Windows specific I have to do - or that would just be easier with a keyboard; so phone or tablet (which shares a very similar layout). That's just my Homescreen, left pane is a calendar widget and right has a couple of widgets and a couple of rows of my most used apps

@RogerRoger Not really.

I understand the appeal of stripping everything out.
I used to root and customise every phone I had. Until Sony slowed down with the bloatware and Samsung's Touchwiz actually got to be rather good.

I've disabled the status bar clock now - shame there's nothing baked in to let me move it back.

@QualityGeezer I'll take your word for it on how funny it is (eye of the beholder and all that), but 'chit' is definitely a word.

@RogerRoger You don't wanna see my phone then, I have 3 pages full of apps! That is probably quite tame compared to some I reckon!

@JohnnyShoulder that genuinely sounds horrendous! πŸ˜‚

@KALofKRYPTON Nope, the only real order is that the apps I use most often are on the front page.

You guys are motivating me to clear out some of my useless apps. I have three pages and probably 90% of my usage is about 3-4 apps. I have several apps that I downloaded and have never even opened once. What else am I going to do with all this memory? 😜

And I had to look it up, but yes, I didn’t know β€œchit” was β€œa short official note, memorandum, or voucher, typically recording a sum owed.β€œ Word of the day. You British and your crazy words.

@JohnnyShoulder Walking talking Jesus! That would drive me mental!

@Th3solution But.... why did you download them...
