Easily Adjust Volume?

Is there a way to easily adjust the volume using the wheel? Or do we have to get the stylus out :?
Cheers

Just tried SPB pocket plus but it doesnt have a volume indicator, just a control which doesnt show what the volume is set to!
any clues?

What is it that you want to do?
If you move the jogwheel during a call, you can change the voulme of the speaker...

OK, But do you know how to adjust the volume when not in a call without tapping the screen? is there a way to do this please?

probably clumsier than tapping the screen, but if you have both Spb Pocket Plus and MS VoiceCommand, you can issue commands for Volume Up, Volume Down, Volume Loop, and Mute.
You can also tapp on the Comm Manager button and toggle the between (preset volume), (vibrate), and (silent).

Is there a good screen tap recorder which works with the tytn?
I tried Vitobuttonmapper which does this but it messed up all my other button assignments! I just want to be able to assign the voicedialler press and hold function to bring up the volume bubble!
Anyone found a prog which will turn a screen tap into an .exe which will be assignable to a button?
Vijay?
Anyone??????

with aebutton plus 2.4.3 beta (its now in 2.4.4 beta), if you remap the "ok" buttons after adding it, you can select it in such a way (under "\options\restore volume slider\" select "if today is active").
Now in the today screen, when you press the ok button, the volume slider will be activated. You can then use he left right up/down keys to select the volume of choice.
However, upon capturing the ok button, i have to map the ok button to close active apps when pressed twice. Pressing it once, regardless of the program in the foreground yields nothing.
To minimize, i have the use the red phone button.

I use the following mortscript:
Code:
MouseClick 160,0
Sleep 100
MouseClick 160,200
In portrait QVGA.
There's a neater way with VJKeyPress as well, but I can't remember the settings right now
If necessary it'll be easy to turn this into a seperate app.

V
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That would be v. nice! would it be possible to make it landscape aware too?
(i'm to much of a thicky for mortscript..... )

DeviceLock + Volume Control

I've found a wonderful opensource device lock application (deltaLock). It can lock the device using hardware buttons and can keep device locked even if device was waked up by sms or gprs connect attempt. BUT. As far as I use my phone for playing music I conclude it is not very handy to have volume buttons nonfunctional. I have just added ability to control volume while device is locked.
The applications consists of two exe files. First, deltaConfig is used to set key codes for unlocking / controling volume. Second, deltaLock, locks device. You can set two keys for unlocking (they have to be pressed simultaneously) and one for each "Volume Up", "Volume Down", "Mute". By pressing volume buttons system sound volume changes, so it is useful not only when music is playing but also when the phone ringing or you are in the middle of conversation. By now, there are 10 sound levels available (common 5 is not enough for me but 10 is ok), it could be increased later (sound volume variable type in windows systems is word, so it can be any integer in range [0..2^16-1].
The best way to lock your device is to bind deviceLock to one of hardware keys. It can be done by Settings->Button, but it is better to configure unlock buttons first
Original deltaLock can by downloaded by the link above, deltaLock with volume control - here. Hope somebody will find this little app useful

assigning lock
hi, my wizard doesn't give me the option to assign delta lock with volume control to a hardware key. i did install the original lock first, and after uninstalling it the button assignment screen still has the original deltalock but givs the error message: ...cannot be opened...
any help would be great,
thanks in advance

The easiest way to fix it is to install original deltaLock again and then simply overwrite files in /program files/deltaLock with those unpacked from archive i provided (just copy deltaLock.exe and deltaLockConfig.exe from archive to /program files/deltaLock folder on your pda).
Sorry, i was too lazy to make an installer, but i'll fix it soon

I made a cab installer

working
many thanks, it's working perfectly now

You're welcome. Glad it's working now.

Hello there,
Thanks very much for that great program, in fact I have another issue, my Volume Control Scroller is not woring at all in my PDA2k (WM5), so it is impossible for me to mute the ring if i don't want to answer the phone, so what i am really searching for is a program like yours but without Device Lock, is there any program that I can change some buttons on my device(while PDA2k has many) to control volume?? I hope i can find like this program with you...
Thanks again,
Ghaith

umm
check AE Button Plus but it isn't free

hey, thanks alot, I tried the program, and it is working for volume control, but while Phone is ringing, these volume controls are not working, so I got nothing
anyway thanks again

Any additional Functions for a Great Program?!?!
Your program seems to be exactly what i am looking for. I carry a veriation of the HTC Wizard branded the Cingular 8125. I hate accidently picking up calls or dismissing messages or alerts when the device is in my pocket, briefcase or while pulling it out of the holester. Your program seems to be right up the alley of what I am looking for. Are any of the programs perameters user definable?
What I mean is, I just don't want to accidently answer a call or ignore a call. Nor do I want to accidently start a program, dismiss an sms, email, reminder or alert. But I would like all of the functionality of the volume slider to mute ringers on incoming calls until they go to vm and use my Windows Media Player and all of its functionality at the same time. I know this seems like having my cake and eating it too, but I have to think these devices are smart enough to handle it.
My idea would be a Device Key Lock user interface where eu had the ability to define through check boxes what programs to allow or not allow while the device or keys where locked. And that all of the functionality of the programs allowed where available.
Is it out there?
Thanks

Part 2
Also a way to define how much time would go by before the device would lock on its own.

Slider button

Hi all
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to disable the volume slider button? As its in and out of my pocket its always changing the sound settings and its annoying, especially when it gets knocked down to silent and I miss an important call. I would just like to change the settings using the sound icon on screen and for it not be affected by the slider.
Thanks

try smartskey?
have you tried smartskey? One of the functions of this freeware is "Remap volume slider to page up/down" , this should be ok for your purpose, i think?

Hi
Yes, that works a treat. Thanks.

Xperia silentmode

Hi guys, i've received my Xperia a couple of days ago, installed TomTom 7, Palringo Messenger and zsIRC.
I love it, i simply love it. But i have some problems with the usability which i believe you guys can help me iron out:
- If the Phone is put in Silentmode, the mp3 Players won't work, whether it is the Xperia Player Panel or MortPlayer... is there a workaround for this, or if not, is there a way to put silentmode on a hotkey, because it takes long to flip to the "Today" Page to put silentmode off...
- I tried MortPlayer because i found it hard to control the Xperia Panel Player with my finger while driving, but MortPlayer was kind of buggy, it changed the size to quater screen whenever i opened the keyboard and even without that bug i found it still too small since it didn't use the full resolution.
- Is there some kind kind of Alt+Tab like feature? I'd like to switch between tomtom and the mp3 player while driving and that would need some kind of quick window change button, is there a way of achieving that?

I don't have installed the original wm6.1 volume controle, but i think there are 2 bars and one of them for the system volume. I think it was the left one. Put the volume up and you should be able to hear sth. with the player.
EDIT: The Volume controle pops up when you press the volume down or up button

You can easily adjust volume and between modes normal, vibrate and silent with the volume up/down keys. Keep pushing vol down and you'll get to silent mode. Push vol up and you'll get back to normal mode through vibrate mode.

well, thats solved, but i still need something to change the programs while i'm driving, like a possibility to lay something like alt+tab on the ok button, for example.

Try AE Button Plus. You can set a button (single, double, triple or long press) for i.e. task manager (pretty neat aebp's own), alt+tab or switch to next application.

Disable mute ring button

Is there any way to disable mute ring button on incoming call screen?
(I’ve tried s2u2, pocketshield, touchLockPro but none of them works correctly with HTC phone skin)
I am using official WM6.5 release.
Thanks!

You mean the volume hardware keys to mute or the on-screen Mute button?

I mean SW button (under Answer / Ignore slider).

I have never seen any HTC dialer with that button disabled. The only that comes to mind is use the incoming call protecting screen that Pocketshield has, it will prevent the mute button from being touched or pressed.
