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 "Don´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.

Wing Volume Keeps turning down

I have got T-mobile wing for few weeks and now the volume feature keeps turning down on me and that little volume window pops up. It interferes with my call and will not let me text because of it. HELP PLEASE!!!!
Even I had done Hard Reset more than once but it comes back again and again after a day or two.
Can anybody suggest any solution other than just hard reset? As i have done hard reset various times....

have you flashed a custom rom if so try reflashing it that miht do the trick, if your using the rom that came with the phone it might be a issue with your phone might have to return it and get a new one

I am using the standard rom that came with my phone, no custom roms.

Your volume button is probably slightly stuck.

But I can use the volume button to try to turn up the volume .. sometime I win and sometimes that malicious thing wins turning down the volume..
Somebody knows about how to disable that little volume popup or HOW TO DEACTIVATE THE VOLUME SLIDER in T-Mobile wing?

No easy way I can think of other than butchering the volume control altogether (by killing the dll's responsible.)

muting :-(

Hi Guys,
this issue has been driving me slightly mad, tried searching with no luck, hopefully someone can help.
basically when i get an incoming call a) the flip phone over does not mute call, b) pressing the mute button on the incoming call screen does not work.
Now this used to work, and i have no idea what changed to cause it to stop.
i have checked the following :
regsitry - FaceDownMuteRing set to 1
HD Tweak tool - mute call is enabled
S2u2 - i have all phone settings off (callerID section set to off)
Now i do have AEbuttons installed which is probably the last thing i installed, on this i have mapped several buttons to the volume keys. Cant see this been an issue though.
Also, another issue which has developed is my backlight settings keep reverting back to timeout after 10 seconds everytime i reboot the device, could this be related.
any help will be much appriciated,
thanks

Had the same problem. And exactly the same possible culprit. Thus, I decided to try restoring the volume keys to their default mappings in AEB, and alas, now the muting works when I press the mute button or face the phone down.
On the other hand, if you really need to map the volume buttons, I also discovered that while the mute button or facing the phone down would not mute the phone while it is ringing, pressing the volume down button will (assuming that it is not mapped in AEB).
Hope that helped!

Hi Vince, nice one that was exactly the issue. Unmapped the buttons in AEB and it now all works..who would have thought. Now i have to decide what want the mute option or the mapped buttons

Can I change the sound volume by smaller increment?

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!

volume
Sorry, i'm new, but when i turn my screen off, my music stops? then when i touch vol. rocker it lites up, & plays. sorry for newbie problem,

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.

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
