Here is a question for the most advanced of you on wm6 tweak; take it as a challenge ;-)
I like the screen lock tweak, but I would like to be able to have the volume buttons unlocked, since quite often I listen to music and I want to adjust volume in connection to how noise the place is. As it is right now, I have to unlock the phone every time before pressing the volume buttons up or down.
Do you have any ideas on how to play with the registry in order to achieve this? I have the HTC Diamond 2...

Hi,
I have a AT&T Tilt2 on which suddenly the volume rocker up button stop working as volume button and then brings me to the home screen from within any app!! I am unable to figure out why this would happen - its a stock AT&T ROM with some apps that I installed like - OperaBeta, HDWallS, Resco.
Even when I hold down the call drop button for sometime, the device does not lock! It vibrates but does nothing - just shows me the home screen.
Any idea on why this would happen ? has anyone seen this happen to their cell too ?
Thanks

My volume buttons occasionally acts up too. They suddenly act as up and down keys rather than volume up and down keys. Very rarely though. A soft reset makes it go away each time.
...guess it was having an identity crisis...
I've been having problems with my volume buttons. And soft reseting doesn't solve the problem. The volume buttons work in the lock screen. But when i'm at the home screen they just open and close the volume screen.
I have a tilt 2 with the stock rom.
The "click" that follows each volume pressing drives my wife crazy, especially at night. Of coarse there is an option to get rid of the woman, but before taking such drastic measure, maybe the experienced folks here have an alternate idea??
The click should only happen when changing ringer volume, and i don't see why you would need to change it that much...
imo, it would be easier just to use the silent/vibrate/volume widget, since ringer volume is usually none or max...

Thank you for your reply.
Well, basically you are right. However, in order to avoid the difficulty to press the power button (awfully located) , I am using the "Fix Broken Power Button" app. That requires the use of the volume keys as a substitute to the power switch. Now, each "waking up" the DHD is accompanied with a loud "click", the one whicj I am trying to eliminate.
Thank you for your attention.
Maybe much better to change your wife? )))

Try a different app, there shouldn't be a sound when unlocking to the lock screen instead of skipping it
CM7 has options to unlock to the lock screen or skip it, and skipping it makes a sound
Hey,
I have noticed that from 4.0.4 my GNexus started to unlock with volume buttons or handset buttons. I wanna know if this is change made by Google or something just went wrong because I found it annoying. I want to change volume in pocket and phone unlock. I change track on my headphones and my display turn on.
Thanks
hey there,
I'm using Slim ICS 4.2 and there is an option to wake up the phone with the volume buttons (don't know if this is 'general' on custom roms), which is very nice cause i hold the phone mostly with my left hand and so it's the best way to wake up the phone.
the problem is, when i have the phone in my pocket, i wanna feel from outside of the pocket where the volume buttons are and press them, and the screen turns on and cause the display is near my skin, buttons get pressed and lock the lockscreen for 30 seconds and more...
cause i don't wanna miss the unlock when i don't hear music, i would like to have it disabled when a headphone is plugged in. is there any chance that this gets or is already realized in another rom??
Anybody else bugged by the fact that they put the on/off button, like, the least reachable place on the phone?
I always have to juggle the phone around in my hand to reach the button, and then I have to juggle it back to reach the unlock ring. I mean, the two things I do most, pressing the on button and then sliding the unlock ring, are placed as far apart as possible. It's oddly cumbersome for such an elegant device. It's just a matter of time until I drop the damn thing. (I guess that way HTC sells more replacement screens... )
The volume buttons are where my thumb is, but I never use them. They are mostly in the way and I press them more by accident than on purpose.
Any idea whether there's a way to switch the on and volume buttons? There's probably no mod that can currently do this, but is this technically possible?
That is where the purpose of volume button to wake comes in handy. And yes, it is possible to do that.
Naah... not with me..
Yes it was a little bit difficult... but now I've become used to it....
there's a a mod for that

I am using the volume wake thingie. But it will, you know, change my volume setting if I listen to any audio. Which I do a lot.
Also, you can't lock the phone with it. Which precludes my main use of the button: unlock phone, check clock or notifications, lock phone.
Anyways, I wondered about the technical possibility of just switching the buttons.

Well, then there is public interest in finding a way to mod the keys, right?
Try a two second timer.
I have somewhat large hands, and the placement doesn't bother me. I can reach the button with my index finger and reach the ring with my thumb.
I do really miss having an external camera button.
yeah its not too much of a problem for me. i can hit the power button, and then use the unlock ring, but it requires a bit of stretching. i dont have to move the placement of the phone in my hand though.
