Is there any way to lock some of the volume-levels?
I just got a call and i thought my bluetooth-headset wasn't working because the volume was down.
It often happens to me that i accidentally change volume levels which i did not intend to change.
I think in general i would like to have all the volume-levels fixed to about 80% except for the media-playback volume which i would control with the physical buttons.
Am I just stupid or is anyone else having this issue?
update: i tried a app called fixvolume which supossedly does exactly what i want except that it does not work and nothing is fixed.
Update2: smart volume free works great

When I engage the native device lock on my HD I find that the volume buttons are still operable! Is this just a problem with my device or has anyone else experienced this.
Also does anyone have a solution to this annoyance that does not involve installing S2U2 (even though this program does render the volume buttons inoperable) or similar?
Can anyone confirm that their Touch HD locks the volume buttons when key locked please?
Same thing here
I can confirm the "bug".
Yup, same on mine here!
Same here - very annoying fault/bug!
mine is ok, vol buttons do not work when the device is locked.
Did you try using your vol button in sleep mode (screen off) or just lock mode?
Same here and it's driving me mental
Have compare the menus on this to the other HTC devices and found that the Lock Buttons Setting is not on this one.
I dont know why they have left this out but at a guess that because of the new 3.5mm jack they are allowing for people using as a walkman.
I accidentally found a solution to it here
Many thanks Prof!
"they are allowing for people using as a walkman." That must be why David!
I'm using an out the box Orange Touch HD (rom - 1.19.61.1 WWE)
I have found that the volume key still works even when the keylock is active.
I have used HDTweak already for other things and couldn't see anything relating to this. also searched forum to no avail (maybe not well enough )
Does anyone know of a way to fix this as it clearly seems to be an oversight.
Thanks in advance.

At a guess, i think its meant to be like that so you can adjust the volume if you are using it as a music player without having to unlock the phone. Does it affect you when you use the phone? (sorry i don't know how to help but I just thought I'd add my opinion)
thanks for the reply. i understand what you are suggesting but if i press the volume key then by default it adjusts the ringer volume and not the system volume. This is a problem as when its in a pocket i have already had more than one situation where I have gone to get the phone out and without realising, turned the ringer to silent.
I have a related difficulty... Hope you don't mind me adding to this thread rather than setting up a new one...
If my phone (Touch HD on ROM 1.56.405.1) is PIN-locked and I receive a call, I'm unable to change the in-call volume without telling the caller to wait while I unlock the phone and alter the volume... Is there any way of allowing the volume keys to work in this situation without having to unlock? I've search high and low for an answer or some suitable app to handle this.
Thanks.
Sorry - just done another search in these forums and have seen some similar questions and responses... I'll take a look there.

Hi,
I tried using the volume keys when the device was locked, you can indeed adjust the ringer volume whilst the device is locked, although if you try doing this after you switch the screen off by pressing the top power button, pressing the volume keys has no effect then.
Providing the screen is off, you shouldn't have any problems switching your phone to silent unintentionally .
Just thought I mention this.
it's a known problem that regards standard windows mobile locking system. Only solution is using another locking program (s2u2, pocketscreen, touch lock pro, lockmelite and so on). There are on this forum aplenty.
regarding to the other problem with PIN and incall volume i am not really sure but again iirc it's a winmo default locking "feature".
strange...
When I use the keylock (long press endcall-button), my volume keys won't work.. even when the screen is on.
This has been on my stock rom (1.14 NLD), new stock rom and on Dutty's 3.3 XT...
Grtz,
Degake
Is it just my phone or dose the leo's volume button change track not volume when using the HTC music player as it is rather anyoing and havent worked out how to change the volume in music player without having to go into calender then back again.. and i do hope just isnt a dumb question as it been bugging me since ive had the phone with no luck.
The volume buttons have only ever changed volume in HTC Music on my phone. In fact, it uses a slightly different volume screen. Instead of going to the full-screen volume thing like on any other screen, it has a nice little popup overlay of the volume while still being able to see the album cover in the background.

you write that as if everything is fine and dandy when it clearly isn't. yes sometimes it changes the volume like you have stated while, on the other hand it decides to change the track instead.
what we need is a solution to this.
i encountered this problem today in my hd2 youtube application (volume button got the video forward or backward instead of bringing the sound up/down). i uninstalled g alarm and restarted the phone and it came back to normal. hope this helps you.
Here's another thread about this problem. It's vital that all people with this bug let HTC support know about it, so please report it! Maybe we could even get a fix in the upcoming 1.48 ROM update...

The problem will come back. Resetting the device solves the problem, but only temporarily. No need to uninstall G-Alarm.

thanks. i will reinstall g-alarm.
I'm using Button Savior, which works great. However the only way to wake the phone from sleep is to plug it in. My new method is to call myself with Skype which also works ok but I want something better. I was thinking of something like shake to unlock. My volume buttons also don't work so I can't use apps that wake the phone with those. I'm talking about Android BTW.
Bump, hopeless but still
I have a Moto G6 Plus Dual Sim and would like to know if I can adjust the Call/Notification Volume on my phone with the button on the side of the phone.In the information supplied this button is set by Default to Media and what I want to do is change the Media for the Call/Notification Volume so I don't have to go into the settings and adjust the sliders.This is a pain every time I wish to alter the Volume of my Notifications as on my old Moto G5 I was able to control the Volume from the side button.Any help would be gratefully received.Many thanks Sethnettles.
Yes, the pie update has changed the volume button function. There is a sound on/off/vibrate button on top when using the volume rocker but that's it... I haven't found a way to change it. I really cannot understand why such basic functionality that has "always" been available in Android has been taken out!

Good Morning, Many thanks for your reply and now I have got this sorted can you help me with another problem??I used to receive an Audible and Vibration alert for both my Call/Notifications eg:-E-Mail etc but now I only get an Audible Ringtone for both.I have been into settings and the Vibration is Turned ON I have also been into the Moto Help and Hardware Test and tested the Vibration which works fine is there any other settings or something else that I should turn on which I possibly have either mistakenly turned off or missed altogether???I have tried all the Icons when the Volume Button is pressed and I can turn OFF and ON both the Audible and Vibrate and both are OK as is the Call/Notification Volume so all I require is for Both Audible and Vibrate to work when I receive either a Call or E-Mail??Hope you can help,Regards,Sethnettles.
I believe that it has to be set for each application individually, in the settings menu of the application.

Good Morning and MANY THANKS for your prompt reply.I have now gone into Apps-Notifications-Advanced and found the area where I can turn the Vibrate on so I have done that and I'm pleased to advise you that I now have both working simultaneously.What caused the problem is that about 500 mtrs from my house there are 2 high rise blocks ready for demolition with a lot of Cellular Antenna's on top.As the Vodafone Network keeps saying NETWORK ANOMILIY I kept loosing the Network and after contacting Vodafone they said the system was OK and the problem was with my Apps.So I uninstalled and reinstalled my Apps that were playing up and I completely missed to turn on the Vibrate in Notifications but you have saved the day.As for Vodafone they have now admitted that there is an ongoing intermittent fault on the network in my area (I suspect it's something to do with this demolition job as none of the Antenna have been removed as yet.) Once again MANY MANY THANKS for all your help.Best Wishes to All,Sethnettles.
