[Q] Volume Up/Down doesn't work when screen is off - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hello,
I don't know if this situation is same for all Android devices, but it isn't same on Windows Mobile I know.
Volume Up/Down buttons doesn't work when screen is off for HD2 Android.
I couldn't change the music volume without pressing other hard buttons first.
It would be great if this feature could be added in HD2 Android kernel.
Thanks.

Bump. Any help?

Pretty sure this is normal, working as intended. My G1 didn't do this either.

volume buttons are working this way on shubcraft build. I can set the volume or change track (long press) into my pocket with no need to put the screen on.

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.

Nitrogen/TP 2 question...

Hi All
Anyone have a fix for getting the key mapped (in Nitrogen) HTC side volume toggle to work with the screen off..?
It works OK with the screen on, but going to blank screen while listening makes it cease to work. I am using v1.2 Alpha 4, all else seems to work well (apart from the shuffle-play repeating some tracks).
Oh, locking keys in the general settings produces a message "your device has no key lock support".
Any insight appeciated.....
Cheers
Jabberoo
Anyone at all....?

Really...
I have a stock 6.5 SEA ROM, with Alpha 4. I have mapped the volume (side) toggle thru the options and it works just fine, with the screen ON.
Turn the screen OFF and it does nothing?
So, does yours work OK with the screen OFF..?
If so, i need to perhaps grab another copy and reinstall, or.........
Cheers
jabberoo
they will work with the screen off if i press the sleep screen button on nitrogen (the power looking button).
if i press my hard power button to sleep then i dont think the keys work

Oh OK, thx for the info.
It seems mine doesn't work like yours for some reason, my mapped volume buttons do not work when activate the blank screen button on the Nitrogen Player...?
I think i will reinstall it and see if it changes.....
Later.....
Tried a reinstall but no change for my device, the volume toggle still does not work with the screen off??

Volume Icon

Is there any setting in Touch2 where in we can click on the volume icon & change the volume without using the volume key
For touch2 we can only change the volume using the volume key, i would like to change the volume using the volume icon just like in WinMo 6, 6.1
I don't get this at all. . . using the buttons on the side of the phone is the easiest way to adjust volume, period.
If the 15 levels of selectable volume via volume keys dont meet the accurate reqirements (i'm quite partial to having no more nor less than 73% myself),
you can always slide over to Settings > Sounds
you can then adjust volume from 0% to 100% for the rings & system seperately.
Hi Weznezz,
I am happy using the volume keys, but i would also like to know if there is any possibility of using the volume icon, to change the volume from the screen.
In previous WM builts you could do that indeed which I also liked......for some reason they took it away......
Will search and when I find something report back....
Hi Frank,
Thank you very much for understanding my request. Will be waiting for your response.
Regards,
Frank is a good guy, and i mean it

[Q] Volume buttons turn screen on

Hello all,
I have recently done an upgrade to WM6.5 (Energy ROM) and now, when listening to music in PocketMusic 5.3.5, screen turns on by pressing the volume buttons to change volume, and the "ding" sound is played as when changing the volume manually. Also the Manila screen for changing volume is displayed and I have to cancel it. In stock WM6.1 it just changed the volume and screen stayed off. I have already tried playing with PocketMusic settings (like using system volume enabled/disabled, or key compatibility mode) and nothing helped.
I don't know if this is an issue with WM6.5 itself or with the particular ROM so I posted my question here (hopefully ok).
I liked to have the phone in my pocket and change volume just using my hand without taking the phone out. Well, those are the small annoyances that get me, but maybe someone has an idea or fix here, please? I already searched (on google and on these forums as well) but that didn't yield any results...

you should try to re-mapping volume buttons with AEB Plus
Thank you for your reply.
I have installed the app but I am afraid it cannot do what I want.
I don't want to remap volume keys permanently - I still want to control the volume as it is now - but only when the screen is on. When screen is off, volume should be changed "on background" - without the ding sound and without turning the screen on. Hopefully I explained it right. Any more suggestions, please?

Is it just me that doesn't like volume button switching when rotating device?

Maybe this is just me, but I find it annoying and a bit confusing that the volume button assignment switches when I rotate my device.
In landscape mode pressing the volume rocker up/left turns the volume up, and down/right turns the volume down. This is how I would expect things to work.
However, when I rotate to portrait mode, pressing the volume rocker up/left now turns the volume down instead of up. And pressing the volume rocker down/right turns the volume up.
Perhaps I'm overlooking a setting or developer option that will keep the assignments the same regardless of whether the device is in landscape or portrait.

You can use the button mapper app from APKPure to fix this.

I gave this a try, but no luck.
Set the volume keys to customized and assigned Volume+ and Volume- to always be + or -. However, I'm still seeing the same behavior when I rotate the device it flips the which direction increases/decreases the volume.
Also tried playing with the option to swap the volume buttons on rotate, and still could not get the effect to have the settings stay the same when you rotate. Perhaps I'm missing something.

That requires a PRO version to use Swap volume keys on orientation change.

Been fiddling with the pro version, but still no joy. Would you be able to share the setting you have in the app that are working for you?
