volume button problem - HD2 General

I've got a problem with my hd2. The volume buttons don't work (i found replacement on ebay but it will take some time to arrive).
How can i change the volume from windows, from software, without pressing the dedicated hardware buttons? i can't seem to find anything to press while in a call, and i can't hear the other person, especially while i'm outdoor.

anyone?

volume buttons not working...

Anyone else get these syptoms?:
the volume control on the side, when I press the up or down once, it goes to the volume slider screen. One would expect that pressing the volume up, to move it up and then down, to move the volume down right?
Well on mine; if you press the volume button once, it goes to the volume screen ok, but if you press it again, it takes you back to the previous screen without altering the volume. The same happens for both up and down buttons.

As of today I have the exact same issue ! I installed sdkcerts.cab and FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly.cab but uninstalled and the issue is still there
have you had any luck in finding out what's causing it, not overly enthusiatic about doing a hard reset which will probably be mentioned ?
I have the same issue, after installing some apps on my new Blackstone the Volume-settings feature was gone...
Any Ideas?
regards+thx
ps: please don't tell me to hard reset ;-)
I also have sdkcerts.cab and FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly.cab installed (and many other applications), but my volume buttons work as expected. Maybe it has something to do with device lock?
Regards!

yes, just re-installed it.. same issue.. and then with setting "Volume Control = ON" it is working.
thank you
well spotted MHoefler !! all sorted now after enabling the volume in S2U, happy again
Yes, work with volume control "on" setting but, the volume control at call is locked!!
Any solution for up or down the volume at calls (with S2U2 installed)?
Regards.
You may try a hard reset.

Yes Black, I know that hardreset works but I wanna use S2U2.
It is clearly a bug in s2u2 and until it gets fixed there is not satisfactory solution unfortunately.
That seems. Just wait for new release.

I found the solution at the diamond-forum. You have to set "DonĀ“t use the keyboard hook" at the S2U2-Settings to "ON" and the S2U2-Volume-Control to "OFF" -then all works perfect!!!
Thanks nick007, I'll try it.
EDIT: Yes, it works! And the hardware buttons does not pick up/ignore the calls.
thank you, but for me that doesn't work correctly: With these settings i can control the system and ring volume during a call properly, but i can't change the actual 'in-call-volume' (which means the volume how loud i can hear the other party talk)... can anyone check this?
regards jan
Yes hausen, I can change "in-call-volume".
Before you uninstall S2U2...
I had this issue as well, and suspected it had something to do with having the volume buttons captured in Mortplayer and Coreplayer. Glad to see they weren't the issue so i can keep controlling them the way i like
But be careful when getting rid of S2U2!
I had S2U2 installed as well and uninstalled it without setting the volume control, and the volume buttons remained broken! I had to install S2U2 again, activate its volume control and THEN uninstall it to get volume control back! So if you want to uninstall, be sure to fix the volume controls beforehand.
Well, it seems like i really messed it up.... My volume buttons are still broken
I get the same symptoms as described earlier (volume buttons call up the volume screen, pressing a second time does not change volume but closes the volume screen instead), but in addition i noticed pressing the volume buttons while on the volume screen actually generates up arrow/down arrow keys! You can see this on many of the manilla screens where suddenly items become selected, but in other programs as well. The volume key press that calls up the volume screen doesn't seem to generate an arrow key, or it doesn't get sent to the current program.
So a couple of things i did that could have broken it:
I remapped the volume keys in Mortplayer.
I remapped the volume keys in Coreplayer.
I had S2U2 installed.
I tried to "fix" things with AEBplus.
The symptoms are always there, even after a soft reset without having run either Mortplayer or Coreplayer. I think the system's response to the volume key has changed, and the volume keys still send volume commands because explicitly remapping the keys to volume keys with AEBplus doesn't change anything. I even tried remapping another key to generate volume commands, but that just seems to keep calling up the volume screen, even if it's already active!
So i'll be struggling with this for a while it seems.... but if anyone has any suggestions or insights.....?
I have the same problem ... DOWN volume key is not working.
The annoying thing is that if I try to soft-reset the device it works but I get into bootloader. I have to press the UP volume key and keep it pressed until HTC logo appears, or else I still get into bootloader. So, I don't know what to say, but for me at leat, it might be a hardware problem.
Another thing is that when I go to hard-reset screen, none of the buttons work. I mean is I try to press volume UP or DOWN, nothing happens. Today I succeded in hard-reseting the device but the problem still persists.
I hate this thing and I hope that somehow this problem can be solved. Good luck to everyone.
PS: I will try to get official rom, radio, and SPL on my diamond, and maybe that will clear the problem because it is annoying at least.
Hope you guys have better luck then me.

How to disable volume button?

Hello.
I have got salt on my HTC Touch HD, so the volume up button is from time to time "pressing itself". When it's not, the button don't work if I try to press it, but then suddenly it starts to increase the volume, even though I don't press it.
Now I would like to just disable it, since the physical button don't work anyway, so I can't use it anyway, it just irritates me.
So, any suggestions?
Thanks for ANY help I can get...

Music player volume control issue

Has anyone else experienced the failure of the volume up/down switch whilst using the hTC music player and headset?
Having launched a playlist and attached the headphones, you can't turn the volume up or down using the volume buttons on the phone once the phone has entered standby/locked mode. But you can mute the volume by pressing and holding the volume down button, the un-mute by pressing volume up.
Even more annoying is the fact that if you press volume up/down BEFORE the phone goes into standby/locked (so that the volume slider is displayed on the phone screen), the volume up and down DOES work once the phone is in standby mode.
Must be a fix for hTC to release on this one. Its very annoying not to be able to control volume using the phone buttons without having to make sure the volume slider is displayed on the phone first.
Yes, I have noticed this as well, I have the same problem.
It is related to the separate settings for 'system' and 'ring' volume. If you revert back to the single volume setting, the buttons will work in standby.
HTC first told me to do a hard-reset (I did, doesn't help), then asked me to send in the device for repairs. IMO this is a software issue, so sending it in for repairs will do little if nothing to get it fixed. I've yet to receive a reply on that.

Ah right, good to know that at least, thanks. But as you say, its surely easily fix-able with a software patch.

Delay the volume buttons?

Hi Bloggers,
maybe there is a twaek available for something that really annoys me terribly.
I use to have my Blackstone in the pouch. When i am called, regularily i hit the volume button and must first gget back from that screen.
Do you know a fix to delay a bit these "touchy" buttons?
Thanks
Laszlo
