I saw this XDA post about increasing the media volume steps on Android. I tried it out, because increments of 5 is tricky (5 is too loud with my earbuds and the next step down is 0), but it didn't work: no effect.
Is there a way to increase the volume steps on the V20? Maybe a different build.prop tweak?
Use your finger once volume slider pops up. One step increments.

But what about when my phone is in my pocket or the screen is off? I'd rather be able to fix the problem than work around it.

How can one quickly silence the ringer on the Diamond? On my Mogul I would press and spin the scroll wheel. I need someway of doing this while the phone is still in the holster. A nice way would be to tap any of the volume keys while the alert is playing.
If I were, say in a movie theater, and a call comes in or a scheduled alert goes off and I forgot to put phone in vibrate only mode. I need a way to quiet the phone ASAP and have no time to remove phone from case, rotate it (if I am using for example Sensorlock), then acknowledge the event.
Turning it face down is not fast enough? Besides, if you're in a theater you really should put it in vibrate mode.

True, but it means removing phone from case (velcro closed yet). As to the movie theater, that was just a scenario, I could have just as well said that you are standing in a crowded NYC subway train, I really dont want to reach down remove my phone for all to see and "turn it face down" just to quiet a ringer. A button press should be the way to go.
Im looking for one too, if i get a message i have to rpess the 'end call' button a few times before it stops vibrating and playing..
Never been in an NYC subway, but do you get a signal down there? would love to try it! I thought they were over 1000 miles deep underground. But it does sound like a useful idea.

lmao, surely not?
I don't have my handset yet, but have been reasearching in anticipation of it's arrival next week. Most phones will mute the ringer with the external volume keys as mentioned a few posts up. You can also take a look at this app in which the volume keys will silence, as well as locking the screen to prevent accidental answers or ingnores

Will a quick tap on the volume key silence the notification, or do you have to press down the volume key until it gets silenced and then have to press the volume up key again to reestablish the volume level. I simply need a way to "tell" the phone that I have acknowledged the event and not to continue to play the full notification tune.
I have my Diamond but I did not power it up since I did not want to activate the phone to make sure that I will be within the 30 day window so I will have the option to move to the Touch Pro when it gets released on 10/19. So my questions are theoretic and based on what I see on the screen shots and what I read, or didn't read in the owner’s manual. Anyway, I will be activating my phone tomorrow and will see if these suggestions work for me.
AEButton Plus could set the phone to silent at one tap.

This is exactly how I silence my phone, just one press of the volume down button.
Anyone know how to change the in-call screen timeout? I think it's like 5 seconds right now. Maybe like 10 or 15 seconds would be a little more practical.

Not sure but it times out so you can put it up to your face while your talking on it without the touch screen freaking out on us so i sincerely doubt there is any way to change it.

yeah but trying to navigate voicemail is a PITA... I did find the button that keeps the thing "live/on" while plugged into power... that at least is nice.

I'm not having this problem at all so I wasn't sure what people were referring to. However, I discovered that my sister was having the same problem described here and on other forums. Her phone would timeout within a second or two and it was extremely annoying to her. So off I went trying to help her.
Short Answer: Reboot the phone via the red/power key.
Long Answer: After several hours of troubleshooting with no luck I had her reboot the phone by holding down the red key and choosing to "Power off". Then hold the red key again to turn on the phone. After that it seems the problem went away. I've had her do other things but I'm not sure it was relavent so I'll stop here and see if this helps anyone else.
Huh? This is not a bug that you can simply do away with. The phone is supposed to time out.
On the other hand, I would like the option to adjust the timeout
Screen Backlight Timeout during a call
Is there a way to adjust the screen backlight timeout during a phone call? My timeout is set for 2 minutes, but during a call the screen shuts off so fast it does not let me dial extensions etc, and then pressing menu to light up, then menu to unlock then menu to bring up the keyboard, its kind of annoying. I just measured the time, its about 10 seconds.
This question is NOT ABOUT: Screen/Setting/Sound&Display/ScreenTimeout (that one has its own issues too, but this thread is specific to one issue)
Lol I have the same prob when I do phone banking. By the time I've pressed menu
Then flicked the dial buttons back up iam to late to press the button and have to start
Over again. Its really pissing me off now lol.
Adam
Amen... hopefully one of the developers can make this adjustable
Yes, it's one of my main gripes about the phone function.
They really should have made it adjustable independently of the standard timeout time. Because even voicemail prompts are a pain in the rear.
Power Manager
You can pick up the Power Manager application off of the Andoird marketplace. It allows you to modify the amount of time the screen is on during a phone call.

Really? Must be the new version I don't have. I have the first version and it lacks that function.
Thanks for the tip.
I know this thread is a bit old, but I'm having this problem and its really annoying!
I have the touch pro, and the display timeout while talking is like 5 seconds, and then I have to press that top button to get the screen to come back on, and I have to press it like 3 times till it comes back up. Really annoying when I'm pressing numbers with an automated system like voicemail.
Download power manager from the app store. allows you to change in-call time out and a truck load of other things.
If you want to find it on the net here - http://www.cyrket.com/asset/-5688572614148254173
That was driving me crazy - I changed mine to 30 seconds for in call.

On the side volume toggle button it increases the ringer and the system volume in big stages (20%) is there a way of making it follow each bar at a time rather than jumping up 20% each time?
In the actual settings you can adjust the system volume by 1% increments, you cannot do this for the ringer!!!!??? it still jumps in 20% increments!!! why? and is there a way around it?
Am i the only one that finds this pants?
I would say so, yes. Because I haven't come across a phone that would let you change the ringer volume in 1% increments. All mobiles I've had in the past have 5 or 6 bars and that's it.
I also feel you wouldn't hear the difference between 60% and 61% ringer volume.
If you use the button, you get the big increments. However if you press the volume button up or down, then use your finger on the screen, you can adjust to each of the bars shown (about 15 of them).
Hopefully this will be enough increments?

I gave this advice to someone recently, and it's totally true, unless you have separate volumes for system and ringtones. The system on can be moved 1 bar at a time, but the ringtone one can't - it moves about 3 or 4 bars at a time.
You can do it with more accuracy is the sound & display settings, in the settings tab.

Nice one mate, that's great. Although you can't do that with the ringer volume, still jumps in big stages.
I wasn't after 1% increments in the ringer inparticular but 20% jumps is a bit drastic, was just thinking it would have made sense to be able to adjust both in the same way.
But your find is exactly what i was after, thanks
@ John & bcorgan,
Given that there are countless threads on here about this, and other volume related issues, does one of you want to pm tboy200 to add both your posts to the Hints & Tips thread on here? That way you both get the glory but, more importantly, we might be able to head off another load of threads on this subject.
Let me know.

Does anyone else feel the power button is placed in a really odd spot?
A lot of times when I wake up in the middle of the night and want to check the time I end up pushing the speaker grill instead of the power button.
The first time I did it I was like wtffff broken phone already?
Hahha.

Yeah, very odd spot indeed. I ended up purchasing Widget Locker from the market and use the Easy Wake which allows me to wake the phone with the volume buttons. I really don't mind if the volume buttons give out over time because the phone has a built in volume manager and I can toggle between silent and all that.

It also has integration with the finger print scanner if you actually use it.
I'll admit that I have also grabbed the phone without looking and pushed in on the speaker grill thinking it was the unlock button.
you'll get used to it
At least we don't have to worry about butt dialing.

I love the location. I can easily locate it one handed and then use the same finger to swipe the fingerprint reader, so on and unlocked one handed. Great place for it. I did not want to use the fingerprint reader for security, but I am using it for ease of operation.

+1 with what is said here
Hi- On every Android phone I have ever had if I held the volume slider down I could rapidly change the volume. On my 6T this does not work, I must repeatedly press the slider to change the volume. Is this normal for the Oneplus?
Thanks
Not for me mine slides and changers with each click

Works fine here too. Are you rooted? Maybe installed an app that interferes with it?
That's strange. No I am not rooted.
I did install the AudidFX app at one point but have since uninstalled. Does not seem likely but maybe that messed it up.

Maybe bcoz mine is also working good
I reinstalled AudioFx, disabled it, and uninstalled it, and rebooted. I have it working again, at least for now!
Thanks all.
I am also having this issue.. i need to press it again and again to increase or decrease volume.. it just dont change if i keep holding the button either up or down
Issue returned on my phone.
I just rebooted and it went away.
I'm not sure yet but I suspect this happens after an app puts the phone in Do Not Disturb or gaming modes.
