Volume rocker

Just wondering if its possible to turn the volume rocker off, everytime I grab my phone I end up turning my sound all the way down and it's very annoying.

i'm just kidding, but i couldn't resist....

Yeah they need some type of way to lock it.

Theres an app called ring guard that reverts the ring tone volume when accidentally hit. It's pretty good because I used to hit out all the time.
If you don't like that then I suggest acquiring a case the protects the volume from being so easily pressed.

Riggs may be kidding but it's actually the truth. The volume keys are useful, why would you want them disabled? The best solution to your problem really is to just stop pressing them. I know the problem, I had my own issues with them... for about 2 days. Then I just stopped pressing them.
Don't downgrade your device, upgrade yourself

Thanks everyone for your replies, no I'm not holding it wrong but I am left handed and the volume rocker is always against my hand. When typing like I am right now I occasional hit the volume by accident. Also I have car holder and that always hits em as well, didn't have that problem with my evo so I was just asking a question. I appreciate the jokes because they are funny and I thank the only one of you all who actually gave me some good advice.

I use Volume locker - it still allows you to press the button, but does not change the setting until you confirm it on the screen. It seems to be the best solution sort of editing the text file on the phone that contains the button mappings.
Good luck

I use volume locker also by hourdb in the market...I can vouch that its a great app that does wonders...also comes with many fine tune settings to control many different scenarios depending on your needs.

What Are These?

On page 2 of my App selection screen I there are these outlines of what look like icons on the left side of the screen (see attached image). Any idea as to what those are for?
Thanks!

Press on them and you'll be taken to that page of apps. It's more of an indicator if you still have apps on additional pages in the app drawer. Looks cool too with the holo outline.

ah ok good idea thanks!

The perform two functions you don't immediately recognize.
1- Informing you of an overflow situation(i.e. "There's more stuff here")
2- Quick Navigation (Tap on it and it scrolls the page for you)
This is also evident on the homescreens, if you tap the edge of the screens it'll move to the next page for you.

Ha, really OP?
It looks really cool, but unfortunately many apps don't work fully and just show either a circle or square halo. It's great how the default apps have the actual outline.

Does anybody know how that outline is defined for app icons? Does it just take the transparency of the the png?

never seen this icon before..??

since I went ICS on my 6800, I now have this weird icon on the status bar, lower right, just to the left of the clock.
It looks like a lower case "i" with a circle around it.
Now I am guessing that could mean, ;notifications' off..
BUT, Im darn sure that I got my notifications on..
And I dont get the audible 'whistle' when I receive a txt message, but my volume is up.... my ringtone is loud as hell...
but no audiable notification for a txt received...
I just dont understand.....
I do have all my notifications set to 'on'
thanks for all answers, comments and questions.

no screen capture?
maybe its samsungs push service notification, it comes out when you open your tab after recovery.

Please add a screen grab so we can seewhat you are talking about.

I have the same icon..probably becoz u do not have the simcard installed or in my case, I put another roaming simcard inside. Once i put local simcard it is gone. But when i disable my data plan it came out again. Just only a notification info.

I've got a screenshot if you want to see. I don't know what this icon means nor how to remove it.

Its the notification icon. Once its on, you wont get any notification even the column is up. Perfect at night when u go to sleep or u don't want any notification to disturb ur quiet time.

Ok.. thanks... now how do I get it to go off???
I want my notifications on.. and I DO have them turned on....
But I must be missing something somewhere ..
They were always on before the flash to ICS..
They are on in the settings...
Hmmmmmmmmm. Got me stumped..

Tap on the clock on the lower right, the notification panel will pop up.
Slide the buttons to the left. You'll see the notification on/off button.
tap to highlight it green to ON it. Tap again to off it.
The same method to on/off all buttons.

[Q] Galaxy S4 standby doesnt work

So i've had the S4 since it got released and i like it,
but for some reason the standby doesnt work at all.. i have it set to turn off the screen after 30 secs of idle and it does not work.
anyone else having this issue?

mine works fine. see what apps have been installed. maybe some app requires not to go in standby and prevents the screen to go off

Have similar problem - screen do not off completely. Does not mateer what time I chose, does not matter if smart stay is on or off. I do not have it's icon visible in the status bar whet it is off. Anyway screen is always on. Any help?

Same problem here. The phone just dims its screen but it never shuts it off.
This is quite annoying when the phone lights up to show the low batt warning and just drains all its remaining energy. Perfect.

Try disabling all smart stay options (smart pause could still be on).

Seems that I found the reason. But still do not have permanent solution. After restart screen went off without problem. After running some application it became constantly on again. When I closed some applications (long press home button and swipe open applications) screen also turned off normally. So probably some application makes such a problem. Have to check which one.

You don't have to drop down. After unlock just slide a little from up and then slide to left / half / right. Practice (?

Hey, you can use Screen Brightness app from Play Store. It's a nice app - it can be accessed from icon or from notification bar, theres also option for autodisapear just like system slider.
