Hi,
When using the youtube app the volume rocker acts as rewind/fast forward and doesnt change the volume. This is really annoying. Is there any way to change this as I dont want to go into a youtube video, assess the volume of the vid, come out of it and then set the handset volume accordingly.
Secondly, is there a way to enable the notification LED to blink when email is received to the handset? Looked in settings but the option to enable it is greyed out...
Seconded on the YouTube thing. What were they thinking? Any tips?
Indeed.... can't really tell you how much I didnt enjoy loading up a gaga video only to have my ears DESTROYED by beyonce's wailing as she was in the song too
I had the first problem for a while too, here's how I fixed it:
-Download, install and start AEButton
-Disable the volume rocker buttons
-Re-enable them
-AEButton will now tell you that it'll restart the device, let it do so
-Fixed
I don't have HD2 yet, but the HTC volume control should have a custom setting for the Youtube app in order for it to work properly. On other HTC devices, it's under HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseAPClass\YouTube and should be HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseEnable2ndUI\HTCYOUTUBE. Do you guys have these keys? If not, you can try to create them and value under them, ClassName=HTCYOUTUBE and Enable2ndOverlay=0 respectively. Also, you could try to go to HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\3rdPartyAPClass, create a key there (name it anything, could be YouTube), and ClassName=HTCYOUTUBE under it. The latter hack allows to have the youtube-style volume control in any application (I use it for CorePlayer, for example).
Hope this will work...
Sigh, just found out that when playing a song under the music tab - and you use the volume rocker, surprise surprise it doesnt actually control the volume at all! It controls the track listings.
Bah! This is a STUPID idea, a shame really!!
WHAT??? Volume rocker doesn't control volume during playback? And how are we supposed to do it?
Correct. Unless it's just mine, but I doubt it?
How to control volume you ask? Well that's simple.
You come OUT of the music application and then adjust the volume, and then go back INTO the application..... Logical.
That's a damn stupid design decision. Beside the inconvenience, music player doesn't need to have the same volume level as the rest of the phone! On my HD I have maximum volume for system/ringer, whereas my music player is set to like 20%. When I plug the headphones in and start it, it's set automatically to this level - otherwise I'd be deaf by now.
And does this happen both with the headset plugged in and without it? Again, on Touch HD you can adjust volume even when the device is turned off while music is playing.
So could anyone check the registry keys I mentioned earlier? Hopefully, it's just a missing setting...
Just read my post again on how to fix it, and no, it's not a design decision, it used to just control the volume for me, it only started controlling playback once I used the mediacontrols on the headset.

Volume Rocker
The Volume rocker works perfectly for me in both YouTube & Music player.
volume keys work for volume in both youtube and music for me..
is there anything you've installed that could interfere?
Hi Fards, great to see you in this thread. You were a valuable asset at ironing out bugs & probs when I was using Itjes Xperia ROM's. I'm sure you will be here too.

Now that just makes it a whole lot worse. I had nothing installed when I tested YouTube originally. Volume controls control cue/reverse. Does that mean unit defective?

Maybe different rom?
Lack of attention to details and throughness so often causes user dissatisfaction.

Possibly. Though its a stock rom sim-free unit. Even if its just a software bug or a rom issue, average Joe (or Josephine) shouldn't have to go hacking the registry, or what not, to fix it. Imagine trying to explain that convoluted series of (potentially disastrous) steps just to make your bloody volume button WORK...
Different roms should not justify this oddity.

Indeed, it would appear it is a problem with the headset, damn bizarre.
This is what happened with me anyway...
Listened to music with the headset in and then the volume controls control the track playback, not the volume, whilst you are IN the application. As soon as you come out then yea that's fine it controls the volume again.
When you disconnect the headset, the settings don't seem to revert and once you go back into the music application, the volume rocker still controls the damn playback not the volume......
.... actually i don't know. From using my headset yesterday I've just tried adjusting volume in the music app now this morning and the volume rocker isnt doing ANYTHING when in the music application....

Resetting seems to solve the problem, don't know when the problem will re-occur though. To be honest, I don't know how to alter registries and things like that!
oh this is ridiculous there HAS to be a way to fix this.. i dont ever want these to do anything OTHER than volume.
OR have a volume control on the inline
at the moment i have skip controls on the headphones AND skip controls on the side of the phone!
Am i the only one totally baffled by the volume control?
in the HTC media player tab, it seems to move up and down through items instead of changing the volume (which seems ridiculous to the extreme)
However - once for me it did change the system volume rather than changing the items - and i have no idea why?
how are you supposed to change the volume while listening to the media player?? the only way i can find it to navigate AWAY from that tab and then use the volume keys!!!
So... i gave up on the HTC media player... and used windows media player....
the volume control was working fine.. it changed the volume in windows media player
THEN (again - i dont know why!!!!) now it doesnt change the windows media player volume -it changes the system volume - i get a little half screen green and grey popup over the bottom half of the screen - its not even the same volume control HTC app as in the rest of the system?!??!
so can anyone tell me..
1) how on EARTH can i get the volume control to consistently change the volume
2) ideally it would do this without having to unlock the device!
yes this really pisses me off. especially because yesterday even in music player it DID change the volume and not the song.
Ok AEBPlus solved it for me. i've set it to ALWAYS use those buttons as volume (and it works while the phone is locked) conrols on the headset to skip tracks backwards and forwards
if only audio manager didnt crash every 60 seconds
and this is ridiculously poor for a £500 device!!!! i dont expect to have to install russian freeware to change the volume on my media player!!!!
Is there any program which allows to switching songs on Android HD2 by volume buttons when the screen is off? I'm using Mixzing Player.
i use stock player and i can switch songs from volume buttons without any problem... in cm7 roms
yea CM7 its built in and great
I'm using CoreDroid 1.7 and even stock music player don't have this function so i'm looking for some apps. I was also using HeadsetDroid but sound on stock headphones is s..... very bad.
Is anyone having issues with this rom and using the volume control with headphones on? Without headphones, the functionality seems to be normal. With headphones, the volume up/down buttons act erratically, they increase/decrease in increments, but somewhat retain their overall function.
Hitting volume up once causes the volume to raise, hitting it again lowers the volume. Hitting it a third time causes it to raise the volume higher than the first time, the fourth time lowers the volume, but at a higher volume than the second. Volume down acts pretty much the same way.
Ideas? I'd have posted in the rom thread, but restrictions and all...
Are you using an equalizer at all?

Yeah, DSPManager is included in the rom, but it doesn't seem to matter whether it's enabled or not.
Edit - Just flashed the rom to MazWoz's JB 4.1.2 just to rule out a few things. (and check out JB!) Volume works normally here, so its probably related to the 30-step volume mod in some way.

I've seen that same issue in different roms, too. I use SOS+, and it does the same thing. The issue seems to be with the mod, and not with the Rom acting incorrectly.

So is there any way to fix this issue or a patch maybe? Its not bugging me much, just curious.
Had the same issue with DigitalKarma v.7. I "froze" DSPManager in Titanium Backup and it seems to have fixed this problem.
I have had this weird bug with all headphones, all ROMS and on all Android versions.
Basically on YouTube while I am watching the volume slider will appear and then auto adjust the volume up and down randomly. Even on headphones without physical volume buttons.
Afterwards the Google Assistant or Google Now will launch into voice search mode and the video will keep pausing and resuming.
I do not press the volume buttons at all. This is a very irritating problem and I need a fix for that ASAP.
Anyone else have this problem?
