Hi,
I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S5 to Lollipop using the OTA upgrade process. I'm on the Three network in the UK.
I want to be able to switch the interruptions to priority mode when the phone is locked, which I believe should be possible using the volume buttons. However, pushing the volume buttons on my S5 does absolutely nothing when locked. Is this a setting I have wrong, or is this happening to everyone?
I can of course unlock the phone and then set priority mode, but I'd prefer not to have to.
Thanks,
Simon

When I engage the native device lock on my HD I find that the volume buttons are still operable! Is this just a problem with my device or has anyone else experienced this.
Also does anyone have a solution to this annoyance that does not involve installing S2U2 (even though this program does render the volume buttons inoperable) or similar?
Can anyone confirm that their Touch HD locks the volume buttons when key locked please?
Same thing here
I can confirm the "bug".
Yup, same on mine here!
Same here - very annoying fault/bug!
mine is ok, vol buttons do not work when the device is locked.
Did you try using your vol button in sleep mode (screen off) or just lock mode?
Same here and it's driving me mental
Have compare the menus on this to the other HTC devices and found that the Lock Buttons Setting is not on this one.
I dont know why they have left this out but at a guess that because of the new 3.5mm jack they are allowing for people using as a walkman.
I accidentally found a solution to it here
Many thanks Prof!
"they are allowing for people using as a walkman." That must be why David!
What I mean is, on the stock Motorola rom when the phone is unlocked there are two buttons 'Accept' and 'Decline' for incoming calls which changes back to sliders when the phone is locked. I was wondering if there was any way on a rooted phone this could be changed so shows those buttons always instead of the 'slide to answer' even when the phone is locked?
Right now I'm using the app Advanced Telephone. It pretty much does the job but gets a bit buggy sometimes. Thanks in advance.
I have noticed that my S4 forgets mute settings after a while and returns to normal vibrate and sound notifications without me changing it. First I thought I accidentally hit the volume rockers on the side, but I just noticed (in a meeting, embarrassingly) that it happens even when I definitely do not touch the rockers. All I did was hitting the home button a few times and unlocking the screen - but nothing that would change the volume setting.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Could it be a third party app that produces this "feature"?
Hi!
Recently upgraded from a Galaxy S3 to the Note 4. Loving it. I've searched on the Internet but have yet to find an answer but - - on my Galaxy s3 I was able to turn the volume all the way down and it would show vibration, if I went down one more notched, it silenced it completely. I used this quite often for work, movies, etc. Now it appears when I volume down, all I can get it vibration mode. I'm still on 4.4.4, not Lollipop (which I've seen has its own set of silent mode issues. Please advise, or point out a newb mistake of mine! Thanks in advance!
Didn't notice that before .... Because i always use vibration mode. Use power button and than mute.
Maybe use silent mode? If you are lucky enough to still have it (5.0 is the first version that doesn't have it I think). You can also silence the vibrations in settings (but that will get rid of all vibrations).
Use the toggle on the top of the notification shade when you drag it down to select mute.
Hello everyone
I'm having this weird issue with my Nexus 6P (which is afaik on the latest software version) that I did not have with my LG G4 when I had it.
Basically, when I play music from any app (Spotify, Soundcloud, Poweramp, etc), I can't control the music when the screen is shut off and the phone is unlocked.
Let me clarify: I set my phone to not lock automatically when I turn off the screen. I like it that way; there's a 1 min waiting period until it actually locks.
Unfortunately, in that 1-minute waiting period I cannot:
- Adjust the volume using the hardware volume rocker
- Cannot adjust the volume using any sort of headphone control
- Cannot pause or start the music
Until the 1 minute period is over and the device actually locks, or I just turn on the screen and unlock the device.
But this has been very inconvenient, so I want to know what I can do!
Thank you all.
I have the same issue here. It also effect (probably unsurprisingly) control over BT from car radio.
I dont seem to remember this always being the case, only since the last security update I think.
Same issue here... been that way for a week or so now, quite annoying. Restarting the phone doesn't fix it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm getting this too. Anyone find a fix?
Hello, I have the same situation, basically my workaround was to enable the fingerprints setup and have the phone immediately lock with screen off. Then instead of pressing power I trained myself to unlock using either indexes. It is quite fast.
The volume buttons will work off screen only while the phone is truly locked so no smart lock with Bluetooth either; screen off but unlocked doesn't work. I also have problems while driving and using Maps off screen, probably for the same reason.
I filed a bug report with Google, there are a bunch of people with the same problem but this isn't fixed in the monthly updates. I haven't tried the android N preview Good luck!
