Faster volume change for Shield? - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use CEC to control volume on my stereo/shield pair. But the volume slider on older remotes, and even the new one, takes dozens of pushes/slides to move the volume very far. I've tried button mapper but it does nothing for this problem.
It's driving me crazy--Has anyone solved this problem? Going back to IR makes the system even more unusable so I'm stuck with CEC volume.
Thanks

Can I change the sound volume by smaller increment?

Hi,
When I press the volume rocker, the volume increased by a large percentage each time I press it.
I realise that some music players have the ability to change the volume by smaller increment, but wonder if there is a cab file somewhere that enables this capability system wide. Or is there a hidden tweaks somewhere?
I like the cool music player in TF3D and do not wish to use a third party software to play music.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.
i hope to change lesser too
yes i remember coming across some 3rd party applications that can tweak the volume, but i honestly forgot where.... if i find anything i will get back to you.
meanwhile, after prompting the volume menu by pressing the rocker buttons, you can select a smaller increment in sound level, by simply taping of the meter using the stylus.
volume increments
I thought super, i can adjust volume lower! Not, mine moves the same by tapping or using rocker.? unless I'm doing something wrong? Help
This is a really annoying issue... Luckily, you can adjust the volume in smaller increments using the buttons whenever the screen is turned off!

Have you found the cab yet?
When the sound volume screen appear, how do you adjust by a smaller increment? I thought whether you use the volume rocker or the screen the degree of change is exactly the same?

The music only keeps playing when headphones are plugged in! (Atleast it should... if it doesn't, what ROM are you using?)
i'm sorry couldn't find the cab, ur best bet is changing the volume from within a music player, i hear corplayer is good....
on my device i tap the volume bar using the stylus and that gives me the smaller increments in sound level.
Try tapping the screen instead of using the pysical buttons on the side. You can change the volume by one bar instead of the 4/5 bars everytime you press the button.

Music player volume control issue

Has anyone else experienced the failure of the volume up/down switch whilst using the hTC music player and headset?
Having launched a playlist and attached the headphones, you can't turn the volume up or down using the volume buttons on the phone once the phone has entered standby/locked mode. But you can mute the volume by pressing and holding the volume down button, the un-mute by pressing volume up.
Even more annoying is the fact that if you press volume up/down BEFORE the phone goes into standby/locked (so that the volume slider is displayed on the phone screen), the volume up and down DOES work once the phone is in standby mode.
Must be a fix for hTC to release on this one. Its very annoying not to be able to control volume using the phone buttons without having to make sure the volume slider is displayed on the phone first.
Yes, I have noticed this as well, I have the same problem.
It is related to the separate settings for 'system' and 'ring' volume. If you revert back to the single volume setting, the buttons will work in standby.
HTC first told me to do a hard-reset (I did, doesn't help), then asked me to send in the device for repairs. IMO this is a software issue, so sending it in for repairs will do little if nothing to get it fixed. I've yet to receive a reply on that.

Ah right, good to know that at least, thanks. But as you say, its surely easily fix-able with a software patch.

locking volume and ignoring volume button presses.

Hi all.
I find quite often I end up missing calls because the volume has accidentally dropped.
is there any way or app to lock it and ignore the button presses, and maybe re-assing to something else?
thanks
responding to myself here.
I found volume locker in the market which does that.
However, it'd be nice to be able to remap the buttons.
any ideas where to get an app for that?
I hate that feature on the X10.
Who the hell though it would be a good idea to have those buttons control the ringer volume at all times?
I have never required to toggle the volume of the ringer so often that I needed hardware keys for it. Just set it once and forget.
Sometimes I'm in the media player and because a video or song isn't playing I will accidentally turn the ringer volume up or down.
I would love to have those buttons bring up the phone's status when pressed on the standby screen ala Sony Ericsson Dumb phones.

In-call volume up-down (volume control responds but volume remains same)

Hello,
I have this problem, which I see was also present on the G1 phone (but with Android 1.6). If I press the up-down buttons to modify in-call volume, the graphic bar indicator moves, but the volume stays the same.
For all other things the volume buttons are working ok.
Does anybody know if there is a fix available for this? Any workarounds? I know about the secret codes, but I want to be able to adjust the volume easily if I am in a noisy area for instance.
I am running stock firmware.
Thank you

volume control (Fixed volume) not working with IR after 8.0 update.

Hi everyone.
After the last update 8.0 Android 9 and remote update v1.43. the fixed volume via IR isn't working, I cannot change volume via IR to my sound bar as i did before, when i toggle fixed volume (IR) option in volume control setting the change doesnt reflect on the soundbar as when i change the volume from the remote it triggers volume from the shield itself not the soundbar (it should be disabled in the shield), as the Shield doesnt recognize the change. although CEC volume still works, but not the IR function.
Edit: The IR pairing works, (soundbar changes volume while pairing).
I'm having a similar problem with the IR functionality on my 2016 version Shield. While my volume works fine, putting the Shield to sleep no longer turns off my TV and receiver.
I've troubleshooted it extensively, to no avail.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
i ended up resetting the device, and now works as it should.
How did you go about resetting the device? Did you have to reinstall and set up all the apps again?
yeah,
