help: side rocker problem

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.

locking volume and ignoring volume button presses.

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.

[Q] Music controls from volume rocker on CM7

hello,
on CM7, there is an option to make the song skip next/previous when holding the volume controls whenever the screen is off.
so my question is, is it possible to have this option when the screen is on? it would be quite useful when you're in an app and if you wish to change tracks, no need to turn off the screen or exit from the app itself
i tried searching but unfortunately i didn't find anything. so yeah, any help/suggestions will do. thanks!

[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?

[Q] How to disable volume buttons while locked in Lollipop

I just got a Razr M set up and running as my daily driver, running the excellent BlissPop 3.2. I find that the volume buttons on this phone in a Trident case are quite easy to press, so much of the time when I'm pulling the phone out of my pocket, I hit the volume buttons.
I'm fairly sure that my old DroidX running CM11 disabled the volume keys while the screen is off, though I may check that to be sure. They certainly were not as easy to push.
After quite a bit of searching, I can't find how to disable the volume keys while the screen is off, whether or not the phone is locked. There is a setting to disable the volume keys all the time, but that's not an option. I also found a setting to make the volume keys change tracks while music is playing, but that's no good either.
In fact, if the screen is off but the phone isn't locked, I can press volume up or down, and when I turn the screen on with the power button, the volume pop-up is there.
The only button that should be active while the screen is off is the power button! Does anyone know how to make it work this way?
More info: I just determined that if the phone is locked and the screen is off, the volume keys do nothing. That's good, but I don't want to lock my phone every time I turn the screen off, as it becomes annoying to have to enter the PIN all the time.

This "problem" was solved in the 20150506 version. I upgraded over the weekend and discovered that the volume keys work as I wish now.
