So pie arrived. Have not read much on new features so was surprised by the volume button opening
two sliders to control the media and ringtone volumes. Was touching them to see how they worked
and the ringtone slider disappeared. Now all I have is the media volume slider. Have been unable to find
anything on there being two sliders or how to get the second one back.

Came here hoping for answer.

What variant of the G6 play do you have?

If a ringtone or notification is making a sound at the same time you press the vol button, it'll appear. They removed that in Pie. Google I mean, not Motorola. They called it a "new feature", which it isn't. It's an unwanted regression. Same thing with the expandable notification toggles. Google scrapped that too. Most GSIs have added it back to Pie. If you want it on stock though, you'll have to decompile and edit the framework-res.apk. Apktool was broken for all G6, and G7 models last time I checked. I don't know if that's been fixed yet. Without it, adding that back to stock is the fevered dream of a madman.

Presume you're asking model - XT1922-9
Okay, I believe that's the Republic Wireless version.
Anyway, there is an app on the Play Store that will add a second slider on your home screen when you press the volume button.
The app is called Button Mapper by Aaron Seagert.
You will need to purchase the pro version if you want to add the second volume slider.
If you decide to go that route and you need help with getting it to work please feel free to ask me.

Appreciate the info - will check it out.
I guess I'm trying to figure out as to why the 2 sliders initially appeared and then the one disappeared.
(Figure it is somewhere in the Pie settings.)
