Change Volume when Locked - Desire General

I've had a quick search and couldn't find this but sorry if I missed something. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed they can change the volume when the phone is locked (and the screen off)?

Yep, same on mine.

Mine too.. and it's ace.... i dont have to switch the screen on, unlock just to alter the music player volume...

But I'm sure you could see how this could be undesired by some? Once I have my volume set, that's it I don't need it changing.

[Q] Music control

I recently switched back to ARHD from CM7 and I really miss the feature to switch songs while the screen is locked, over the volume buttons.
Is there a way to enables this in sense roms, or does anyone know in which file the settings should be that i can manually activate it?
thanks

Volume Button Music Controls
im used to an HTC that allows you to progress thru your music tracks by holding down on the volume button. Is that feature somewhere in this phablet that i have now?

I miss this from CM10!
Until someone incorporates that feature into a custom ROM, you can try this:
"Tactile player"

I have used it in the past when desperate(when a new ROM did not have track skip volume rocker)
Probably will use it again if I get a Note II
Well I just found out if u use Google play the music player shows up in the lock screen but not with the stock music player tho.

Mine doesn't show controls on lock screen when using Google play music ? Can't find it in play settings either

Mine is also not showing the music controls on the lock screen. Tried the built in player and google play. Doesnt seem to be an option anywhere either. Can't wait for a good custom rom that adds this in like on the HTC EVO phones. I do miss that from my EVO Shift.

I'm pretty sure they were referring to the notification bar.

poweramp will you give you lockscreen controls, it is a pay for app, but is a solution
Winamp has a setting to show lockscreen controls. It is a full screen display with album art, prev track, play/pause, next track, and an unlock button on screen. The volume buttons still control volume, not tracks, though.
This is what I did. Just got widget locker now I got my music and weather widget in love.
This is ridiculous, I'm trying to get music controls on the lockscreen also. I'm used to AOSP lockscreen that will put the controls at the top when music is playing. I use this with Spotify and Doggcatcher.
I've found that the music controls don't show up on the lockscreen if you're using "Swipe" or "tilt" unlock methods, but they show up with other security levels.
I would love it if there was some way to get the music controls on the top for the Swipe unlock method.

[Q] Inaudible screen lock sounds

Anyone else can't hear the screen lock/unlock sounds? In settings, they're set for ON. But can't hear them.

Mine are off. I had them on but they are useless because you have to put the phone right up to your ear to be able to hear them, even with the volume up all the way. Kind of stupid if you ask me.
I thought it was maybe a defect of my phone but I tried 2 of my friends Ones and theirs are the same way.
Thanks. Hopefully will be fixed in next OTA.

Adjust volume when phone is locked

Hi,
Is there any way to enable volume adjustment when the phone is locked? (using volume keys on the phone or on a headset)
When I was using CM on my old Nexus S I was able to do this.
I'm on Wicked v7 ROM, but I think this was the same also on stock.
Thanks
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
I actually want the opposite to happen. I don't want someone being able to mute my phone without me knowing. Running BeanStalk
I'm talking about the media volume actually. When I'm listening to music I would like to be able to raise or lower the volume without unlocking the phone.

You should be able to. I'm on Wicked v7 and can raise/lower volume when screen shut off and phone is lock.
Either with the buttons on the phone or headphones.
You could even skip to next or previous track with settings in Wicked Control.
Is there any setting to enable this?
I know about track control, but I'm more interested in volume.

I don't think you have to do anything, it just work like that. I don't remember having to enable it or anything.

Yeah it works fine just tapping up or down. I use my phone for music more than I use it for anything else and that and long press to skip are crucial to me. I'm running wicked 7 now as well

Make sure the loud volume warning is disabled
May need to intstall xposed and wanam for that. I just did a fresh install and notice that I can't change loud while screens locked until I unlock than check the loud warning than I can change while screen locked

Can't find this option, where is it?
I am fully stocked.
When the phone is locked, to turn down the volume I just use the volume buttons, they work just fine.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I've gone in and disabled the loud volume warning in Xposed AND Wanam, and it isn't helping.
I'm wondering if those of us having difficulties chose something when installing with Aroma that was different from the people having no issues. Is there something we could have done differently on install? I'm starting to get really frustrated. 90% of what I use my phone for is music.
Also, are the other people having problems using the Music2sD feature from Xposed? Could that be creating an issue somewhere?
Note: When the screen is off, you cannot adjust the volume continuously by long holding the button. You have to press it multiple times separately to step thru the volume levels! It's a supposed safety measure so you dont blast it while trying to pull the phone out, which happened to me alot on my old phone. Maybe it works for some of you but u didn't notice because you only got +1 step?

I don't think it has anything to do with Xposed, since the issue was there even before I installed it. (I only installed it to try to SOLVE the issue)
