Is there a way to get the volume buttons to change the volume by more than one increment at a time without having to click, click, click? I would like to hold the volume up or down until I find the volume I want. Thank you in advance.

Odd, I have a Vizio TV and if I hold down the volume increase button, the volume will continue to go up. And the same with a decease in volume.
Now with that said, it would be nice to have a visual aid of the volume on the screen. I have no idea if I am at 25 or 35, etc...

I have a Martin Logan soundbar that I programmed the remote to. When I use a firestick remote it works fine but not with the shield remote.
The settings for increment doesn't change anything for me.
Thanks for the help.

If you're using any app that needs accessibility then it disables the feature you're talking about. The button mapper and refresh rate apps are two popular apps that affect the volume control.

Ok, I will try to removing those apps that need accessibility and see what happens. Thank you.
I disabled the 2 apps that I have that need accessibility and it works perfectly. Thank you very much!!!

Is there a way to grant accessibility to the apps (mouse toggle and button mapper) and still keep the volume control correct?

hi!
Is it possible to assign the buttin in the middle of the rocker switch to anything other than standard?
I would like to assign it to short press switch to one app, press again switch to the other. Cycle between them.
Can it be done?

I don't think the Universal has a rocker button. Do you mean the volume slider?

Naw, I think we're talking 'bout small button in the middle of the 4-way controller.
Yeah, that's the one.
Can it be programmed?
I have an app that runs in full screen, and I want to be able to change between that and another app without useing the stylus, browsing menus etc.

see title- is there a third party application that can do this? Also, the buttons settings shows button 2 and 3- where on earth are they?

You most certainly can!
I use AE Button Plus. It is an amazing little app that lets you do just about anything with all the hardware buttons on the phone. It also lets you assign more than one behaviour to the same button- one for press, one for double press and so on... Check it out here http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
Hope this helps!
Nice one- thanks for that
Yes, excellent app !
I've been able to link to npop by adding the "mail" button but it still launched the built-in mail program, anyone figure out if it can be "inhibited" from AE ?

Wheel? What wheel? I only wish the Touch Dual had a wheel
Very impressed with Touch Dual so far. I agree - the wheel would have made it an amazing device...
Maybe for the Touch Dual II?
I can't get it to scroll when you keep the button pressed (volume up button for scroll up volume down button for scroll down)
I've tried loads of different combinations to get it to scroll like the dpad.
If anyones got it working can you post how please?

the missing buttons refer to the volume buttons. just press and hold to activate them.
I've mapped button 2 and 3 and button 2 hold and button 3 hold to scroll up and scroll down.
The hold buttons work OK but they aren't usable as a scroller as it takes too long to activate but If I map the normal buttons to scroll up and down they still only change volume. If I map them to launch contacts they launch this fine some of the time but not always and other times they just change the volume. So no can do. This by the way is using pocket plus' built in button mapping program.

Hiya ppl
I was wondering if anybody has made a program that makes it possible to disable the volume buttons as i often mis-touch em (And it feels like even a very slightly touch makes em react)...

Try AE Buttons Plus. You can unbind the volume buttons, and it's free.

It doesn't work for me. I have version 2.6.6 and i set the volume buttons to "Unbind only" but nothing happens, buttons still work. What am i missing?
copy the attached dll to your HD's windows directory, overwriting the original one - you have to use resco explorer or total commander to accomplish that. Then map a key in AE buttons for locking the device - voila, your done.
S2U2 will disable the vol rocker while the phone is on standby/locked, so they will only work when you're using the phone.....which would make it unlikely that you'd hit them accidentally
hope it helps
I looked for similar topic but didn't find it,I was wondering if anyone knows how to turn off that iritating sound when pressing volume buttons ?
I installed volume keys and the sound wasn't there anymore but after that I couldn't use scilorsleo camera anykey which makes it possible to take a photo with volume buttons
anyone has a solution?
I use AE Button to disable the volume buttons for a single press. But then also set AE button to alter the volume up/down when held for a long press. So if I do want to change volume I just do a long press on either button

Excuse me I am relatively new here. What do you refer to as the "AE" button? I keep my Touch in a holster and when I attempt to draw it out to answer I keep hitting the Vol rocker changing the volume settings - very annoying. From what you say this may help as it would be a single press, although probably a long press. I wouldn't mind disabling the vol rocker buttons as I just as easily use the volume settings to change vol anyway - but I hate altering (hacking) the normal operating system to do it.
i have similar things i have disable volume buttons.
how to fix it?
Just wondered if there are any hacks to wake up the DHD with the volume rocker rather than the power button?
I have the track pad to wake mod on my Desire and this makes things a LOT easier but as there is no track pad and no hardware front buttons on the DHD I wonder if the volume keys can be used instead?
There is a similar thread already a couple of pages back and there's an app to customise the keys to do what you want.
Widgetlocker will also let you select to wake on home button, and I think volume buttons, I think its much better than other lockscreens so worth looking at.
Tasker will also do this on long press of the search button, if thats helpful.
"No Lock" from the Market works (by BoD). Very simple and FREE.
Thanks, I'll see if I can find the other thread and check these out!

Still not got round to looking at Tasker yet but I intend to do so. Given that the DHD 'buttons' are capacitive this will still work?
I think so, but I couldn't say for sure. I have Widgetlocker set to wake on pressing the back key, which is capacitive in my Galaxy S, so I would assume it does.

Sounds highly likely then, thanks!
Curious as to whether anyone has attempted to remap one of the 4 buttons on the Shift as an alternate to the power button on the top of the phone.
Personally I can live w/o the "search" button, and if it's remapped to act as a second power on/on toggle, that'd.....be.....awesome.
I think the power button has to be a physical non-capacitive button. The 4 bottom buttons are just part of the screen and so will not respond to a touch if the screen is off.

Good point, I didn't even think of that. You're right.

Now if someone could get it to turn on after you did a double tap on the volume up button or something. That would be bad-ass.

This is a GREAT idea.
I'd like it if while in the camera app the volume keys worked as camera buttons.

This is the button remapper app thats been mentioned in other threads
I haven't tried it out yet though.

I know what you mean, like some sort of 'profile' based key mappings.

Downloaded and re-mapped the Volume Down button to work as an alternate Power button (since i just use toggle widgets and settings for volume anyway), and remapped Power button to open Camera. Great app!
