Hi,
Apologies if this has already been covered - it's not in the wiki and search comes up with nothing.
I've noticed that HTC have made the volume control different depending on which application is active. If I'm watching a youtube video and use the volume side buttons, the volume slider is a nice little side pop-in. Likewise with Windows Media Player. But everywhere else (CorePlayer for example), the regular volume control screen comes up.
I guess there must be somewhere in the registry to add applications where the sidebar volume control appears rather than the standard one.
Does anyone know where?

Hi,
I used to have a T-mobile MDA for 2+ years and I'm very acustomed to simply sliding a button up/down in order to increase/decrease ringer volume ( I simply hold it down for a few secs and it goes to slient).
I just got my HTC and find that the scroll wheel wants to scroll items on my "today" screen...instead of controlling the volume!!
Is this standard or is there a way I can have the scroll wheel control the Ringer?
i too want to know how to do this!
Anyone have any ideas on this? It's my only gripe left on the XV6800 and I've searched for quite a while trying to find any resolution.
If you open up the speaker icon, you can then use the scroll wheel to adjust the volume settings. Believe you can aslo adjust the volume with the scroll wheel when the phone is ringing.
Any better solutions than this?!
I'm not sure about it. One day out of nowhere my Mogul started using the scroll wheel as the volume control, even when I had programs opened (contacts, PIE, etc..) that I would use the scroll wheel with, it controlled the volume. It opened up the menu and would raise/lower, put into vibrate/silent. I don't remember installing any applications or anything, but I lost functionality of it as a volume control after just a soft-reset. I personally thought it was annoying trying to scroll through 175+ contacts and having the volume slider pop up instead.
I would assume there's some sort of background application you can acquire that allows this, but I haven't found one yet.
I was annoyed that the wheel doesn't control volume at will so I downloaded S2U2 (slide to unlock) and that program comes with a master volume control for the phone volume and in-call volume. I set it to one of my buttons on the left, its awesome.
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.
Might there be a registry tweak for the number of steps for the volume button? I generally listen to music with the screen off. If I want to change the volume using the physical button I am limited to 5 steps. However, the volume control for the HTC player has 15 steps; much more usable. Is there any way to change the button increments to 15?
Thanks in advance.

It looks like if you go to the registry you can change where you want the small volume control used in music player to appear and add it to other apps. So hopefully someone will be able to figure out a way to make it appear all the time.
Hey guys,
I like using GSPlayer2 on my HD2. However, the program does not detect the button presses from the remote. I have the Sense MP3 player disabled, so now when I press the call/play button on the remote, it either goes to the call menu, or goes to windows media player.
Simple question -- how do I change its behavior, so that it can control GSPlayer? I'd imagine the solution will be similar (but not identical) to the the one implemented by AVRCP program floating on XDADev somewhere....
Hi folks
in the iphone, when i had the headphones plugged in, i use the volume buttons to control the music sound level. This thing works in every app where i was, just as long i listen to music at the same time. for example, i´m writing some emails and listining music at same time. If i choose to increase the sound level of the music, i just touch the up volume button.
But in hd2, i´m only capable of control the music sound level in the "music tab" of the sense UI.
Is there any tweak the i can control the music level when i´m in another app instead of "music tab"?
thanks a lot for your help
best regards
Your HD2 should do this already,adjust volume no matter what
program/app you are using ??
Yes it does. But on music tab, only appears a green bar of the volume control.
If i´m stay on another app, appears that horrible grey screen of sound control with that horrible "beeps" each time i press up or down.
What i want is the same situation like on the "music tab" (that green bar of the sound). You know what i´m trying to say?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ah,yes now I understand....
There are various cabs to skin both of the volume controls and to remove the beeps,but I haven't seen one that replaces the standard volume for the
Sense music tab volume whilst in another program...
You can of course install Co0kies Home tab and put the music player right on your
one of your home screens in 3 different sizes...
With "touch tools" theres a tool to add the green sense volume overlay to other apps, you just run the app, shake your phone then whenever you use the volume keys in that app you'll get the nice volume meter.........
I dont know if its possible to get that to work on the home screen though..........
Just tried it, cant get it to work on ther manila tabs.
Its still quite handy though for things like opera and ereaders etc........
hello
thanks for your help.
where can i get that app?
thanks a lot
I found it in the search box but you can find it here..............
Once its installed its the "slim volume" your after........
Theres a few other nice little features in touch tools too, its a handy thing to have......
thanks a lot.
i´ll try that
cheers
