For whatever reason after I went back to stock my volume gets lower when I rotate my phone from portrait to landscape and vice versa. Any way I can stop this?

You aren't holding your finger over the speaker on the back when you go to landscape, are you?

this only happens sometimes....i usually carry my Wizard in my trousers' pockets, and when I take it out to use it, it is sometimes in landscape mode. As i understand it, to change it to landscape mode, you would normally need to push the keyboard all the way out and make it click at the end before it switches mode. So how can it change to landscape mode in my pocket? yes, i admit sometimes the keyboard has slightly slided out, but nowhere near fully out. Unless there are some key presses which turns it to landscape mode as well? Also, I always tap the power key to put it to standby mode, which I have set so that only the power key can turn it back on, and only to the password screen, so theoretically key presses are also out of question. but it's bugging me......
The trigger to landscape is just a magnet in the case and a switch. This is often noticed when sliding it out of the holster (the holster often has a magentic catch. I'd suggest you have something magnetic in your pocket but I'll leave it at that before I get misinterpreted.....

I use doublelauncher software. Using this program you can assign to hardware button this action: move the screen to landscape mode.
i've not assigned any buttons for toggling to landscape. But i tried the magnetic thing, and JoninLA is utterly right, it can be easily simulated. I have a piece of magnet in my keyring which i carry in my rather long overcoat where it may just reach over my pda in my trousers. and i also notice it even when i'm using the holster, which does have a magnet as well. thanks guys....i know what to look out for now. great stuff.
i hit the landscape button and it turns the wrong way. when i slide the keyboard open it turns the way it should. I want to keep the phone in landscape mode. is HTC home the issue? got any ideas?
i went to start-setting-menus and change the orientation..but it wont stay. when i open and close the keyboard it goes back to normal view..not landscpe.
Hi. Most of the time my phone is next to my notebook at work and I dont pick it up unless I get a call, i'm concerned about the back buttons.
Can you use the G2 in a plat surface without problems? Can you accidentally turn it off by tapping too hard? Is changing the volume a pain? Please share your experiences.
Yes, no, no. Works perfect on flat surfaces. Especially with knock feature. Volume can easily be controlled from toggles and or slider notification from status bar. After using the phone for a while, the back buttons with slider notification(not used often) feels right and makes perfect sense.
If you're gonna change the volume by pressing the back buttons, then it is a little inconvenient. But as the previous poster said, you can can change volume in the notification area. You don't need to worry about the power button, it will not be affected.
Verizon model doesn't have volume or brightness in the notification shade. So it can be a pain changing volumes with it laying down. But how often do you adjust the volume. Find a good volume and leave it.
Using it on a desk with it laying flat is awesome. Just double tap and go. Double tap off. I always turn my screen shutoff really low, like 15s.
To turn the screen off, you have to double tap the top status bar or anywhere on the home launcher. Tapping on the keyboard or browser or any other app won't turn the screen off.
I got used to it very quickly and it feels natural to have them on the back. I find it easier to slide my finger to find the volume buttons. Camera>slide down for Vol+ and Case>slide up for Vol-.
I think LG incorporated volume buttons onscreen like in a call or watching video. The whole phone software and hardware design is well thought out and executed. I've never felt inconvenienced. It seems when I need to adjust volume, it's there.

Like the OP, my phone spends most of the day next to my keyboard on my desk. It is my MP3 player and I honestly do miss the side mounted volume rocker. I've got the G2 sitting face down half the day. The sliders don't work real great at click-up-one / click-down-one volume adjustments. Shame to hide the album art and spectrum analyzer this fabulous screen can render but such is my reality.
Even in-hand the back buttons don't work right for me. I rest the phone on my pinky and don't maintain a pinch hold of the device so using the back buttons requires a rather drastic shift in grip style. Generally, I find myself using my second hand to work the buttons.
Knock-on is wonderful. So is the QuickWindow case. Between the two, I really don't have need to use the power button much.
All that said, I wouldn't trade for an S4 or N5. The battery and screen are just too good.

I rest the phone on my pinky too but not in call.
When listening to music, I have the screen off anyway.
Volume could easily be solved by having a volume slider on the lockscreen when it's playing audio.
What about a volume lockscreen widget?

Playing music and using certain other apps gives me a volume notification in the notification shade... I mostly use the stock app though, don't recall if GPMusic triggers it. Even with Bluetooth slider . Video is swipe on side for volume and brightness. Lockscreen slider would be nice, one less step to pull shade.
in a flat service I dont know, on its fine
havent seen any microkeyboard docks if there is a market for it

Yea typically whenever there is audio, there is a slider in the notification dropdown shade.
So double tap to turn screen on > slide from top = volume slider.

Yeah, even the VZW variant has the volume slider when media app is active. Too fiddly for me. I might use a virtual control if it offered a button at either end of the slider that would allow easier granular control. A numerical display would also be welcome.

Does the window case have volume controls? It ain't that bad.
Back buttons are nice cause the buttons were hard to press with a slim case.
Granted most of these are features on stock Rom. If you flashed AOSP or CM, you'd lose those nice audio controls.

When I power up the phone the screen will flash for a second and goes dark, all the lights on the bottom buttons comes on and I feel the vibration but the screen won't turn back on. I also noticed that pushing the center button will turn the lights on and off of the bottom buttons, can not turn the power off the phone with the power button.
Any ideas?
Did you mess with brightness settings recently? I had a similar problem once after I edited the framework-res.apk file to lower the autobrightness levels, and set it too low. If you get the boot splash and rom boot animation first before it goes black, it could be a brightness issue.

What rom?
It was sitting on the side for about 5 months, did not play with brightness at all. But it had a charging port work done, if that makes any sense.
Stock, rooted.

At the initial power up it just flash a white screen than it goes dark. Can not see anything on the screen after 2 seconds so I can't go to recovery.

I have tried to get this working like on my Nexus 7 and nexus 5, when I'm in landscape volume is flipped and in portrait mode the volume is adjusted as usual.
But it doesnt work the same on nexus 10 since the volume is flipped from the start because this tablet is designed to be used in landscape mode mostly.
I know there is an option in GravityBox Xposed module that allows you to reorient the volume keys.
Tried that, but as I wrote, since the nexus 10 controls are already inverted in landscape as its designed to use mainly in landscape it screws everything up.
There is almost always an option for this is custom roms under the sound options.

Hi,
I can confirm that on CM11 you have this option and it's working .

Yeah, but I really would like to run stock Android, if it can't be fixed it's OK. Just thought anyone would be in the same situation as I am.

I have always flashed this to volume reverse. Even though older, it still seems to work even with the latest Android versions. Please note that I am using AOKP, but assume that it would work with other ROMs.
