Hi all.
I find quite often I end up missing calls because the volume has accidentally dropped.
is there any way or app to lock it and ignore the button presses, and maybe re-assing to something else?
thanks
responding to myself here.
I found volume locker in the market which does that.
However, it'd be nice to be able to remap the buttons.
any ideas where to get an app for that?
I hate that feature on the X10.
Who the hell though it would be a good idea to have those buttons control the ringer volume at all times?
I have never required to toggle the volume of the ringer so often that I needed hardware keys for it. Just set it once and forget.
Sometimes I'm in the media player and because a video or song isn't playing I will accidentally turn the ringer volume up or down.
I would love to have those buttons bring up the phone's status when pressed on the standby screen ala Sony Ericsson Dumb phones.

Hi,
When I press the volume rocker, the volume increased by a large percentage each time I press it.
I realise that some music players have the ability to change the volume by smaller increment, but wonder if there is a cab file somewhere that enables this capability system wide. Or is there a hidden tweaks somewhere?
I like the cool music player in TF3D and do not wish to use a third party software to play music.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.
i hope to change lesser too
yes i remember coming across some 3rd party applications that can tweak the volume, but i honestly forgot where.... if i find anything i will get back to you.
meanwhile, after prompting the volume menu by pressing the rocker buttons, you can select a smaller increment in sound level, by simply taping of the meter using the stylus.
volume increments
I thought super, i can adjust volume lower! Not, mine moves the same by tapping or using rocker.? unless I'm doing something wrong? Help
This is a really annoying issue... Luckily, you can adjust the volume in smaller increments using the buttons whenever the screen is turned off!

Have you found the cab yet?
When the sound volume screen appear, how do you adjust by a smaller increment? I thought whether you use the volume rocker or the screen the degree of change is exactly the same?

The music only keeps playing when headphones are plugged in! (Atleast it should... if it doesn't, what ROM are you using?)
i'm sorry couldn't find the cab, ur best bet is changing the volume from within a music player, i hear corplayer is good....
on my device i tap the volume bar using the stylus and that gives me the smaller increments in sound level.
Try tapping the screen instead of using the pysical buttons on the side. You can change the volume by one bar instead of the 4/5 bars everytime you press the button.
I've noticed that the volume buttons don't control the volume right when turning off the single volume control settings in the sound tab. I like this, so the RING volume isn't necesarilly the same as the SYSTEM volume. Switching to the two separate volume levels gives unwanted behaviour in sound level as well as functionality of the volume control buttons, using the Audio tab or during a call. To be more precise:
- when listening to an mp3 on the audio tab, and the screen is off, I can press the vol up/down button, but nothing really happens unless I keep pressing down untill I hit 'silent' mode - and voila presto, the music is gone. Hit vol up once, and it is back at the sound level is was, regardless of how many times I press vol up. If I turn the screen back on, vol up/down work as they should (although I have better control on the screen itself);
- when answering or making a call, volume is at max loudness, regardless of the settings I chose beforehand. Pressing vol down shows it at min loudness on the screen, and therefor doesn't do anything - untill I touch the screen to adjust the volume, and then it suddenly is possible to use a lower setting. Weird and annoying too.
So I'm back to the single volume control untill HTC fixes this.
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.
Been looking through my Nexus for some options on this. I would like to have it switch between Vibrate and Loud instead of Silent or Loud. I for one have no use for silent mode. Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? Couldn't find anything on this. Thanks!
There sorta is.
Prese and release the power button to bring up the lock inscreen, then if you hold down volume down + top power buttom for a second or two, it'll go to silent mode. The volume rocker is then active until the screen shuts off. So for those five secs you can adjust the ringer volume. Tape volume up once and it'll take you to vibrate mode.
Same thing to bring back to loudest ringer. Hit the power button to bring up the lock screen then holdVolume up + power for a second or two and it'll go up to highest ringer volume.
Alternatively, just hold down the power buttong to bring up the "Airplane/Silent/Shut down" menu. From there you can hit volume up/down to adjust your ringer. Vibrate is one click up from silent.
Ah. Well that's a shortcut i didnt know. Not exactly what I was hoping for but thanks for the tip!
I hope that this gets changed in an update. I'd like to have the option to switch the phone to vibrate. Kind of like the hardware switch on the Moto Cliq.
Check out the apps from kaa on the market. They work for me to lock the volume keys to my liking.
hi guys,
in the last day or so, when on the home screen when i press the volume side rocker it is adjusting the media volume NOT the ringer volume.
usually in a media related app, if i press the side rocker buttons it will say media volume and the bar will change as a i press it but if i go to the home screen and press it, it would say ringer volume.
- i have turned off the phone and turned it back on
- using a task killer i have made sure no apps are running
but still no go. any help with this would be great cause i used to use this every day by pressing volume up i would go from vibrate to silence to volume for the ringer. i used this every day so i miss it heaps.
thanks in advance.
I have the same problem. This happens only in Sense. When using LauncherPro or ADW everything is fine.
