[indicators]/OSD provide no visual clue that they modify bluetooth device volumes

[John McAleely]

Connect a bluetooth audio device (headset, speakers) to the ubuntu phone.

Play music/enter into a call, so that you have active audio to the device.

Adjust the volume, using the UI or keys on the ubuntu phone.

The volume of the bluetooth headset changes (good) but the ui contains no clue that this is what the phone is doing (less good). The standard volume indicator is shown. This can lead to user confusion if they are not currently using the paired bluetooth accessory, and have forgotten it is paired. On other devices the volume indicator changes to provide visual feedback that the bluetooth device volume is being set.

Desired resolution:

Please use this icon to replace the volume icon. The icon is bluetooth volume which we had design already.

Are there any update on this bug?

[John McAleely (john.mcaleely)]

@johnlea - it seems you are not addressing the issue, perhaps because I was unclear. The problem is not that phones don't indicate a change of volume, but rather that they don't indicate they are changing the volume of a paired bluetooth device.

So this bug is a request for a visual differentiation between the UI shown for on-device volume, and off-device-bluetooth volume.

I have edited the description of the bug

[John McAleely (john.mcaleely)]

When will this bug be worked on? It has been raised by our OEM partners as a priority. I have removed the 'desired resolution' text placed by johnlea, as it was clearly not correct.

I can find no mention of volume notifications changing according to the paired accessories. Where is that?

I'm looking at this bug and I have some questions:

I understand that the icon we need to change is the right icon on the volume slider, isn't it?

[Benjamin Keyser (bjkeyser)]

Let's just put a label (rather than an icon for each) up on screen within the overlay to indicate what the user is affecting.

ie:
* ringer
* alarm volume
* bluetooth
* headphone jack
* HDMI Audio
* USB Audio

[Alejandro J. Cura (alecu)]

Yes, just a label sounds better than having custom icons for each output type.

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

That will need translations so moving to next ilestone

[Alejandro J. Cura (alecu)]

Due to packaging and dependency issues this feature has missed OTA-8.
We'll land it early in the OTA-9 cycle.

This also landed by mistake, and had to be reverted.
The feature is still being tested in silo 51.
