Repurpose the Volume Rocker - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any way to make this do something outside of volume?
I never change mine (outside of vibrate mode which I use a widget for anyway) and figured I'd see if I could get anything useful out of it.

Does you used rocker for navigation and music volumed?

I don't know how I would use it for navigation, but I don't really ever need to change my music volume, and if I did I use audiomanager.
I'm interested in ether keeping the buttons from accidentally changing my settings, or finding a new use for it.

it would be sweet if you could use it as the shutter button in the camera app

bumping this to see if anyone has any ideas. I'm sick of accidentally hitting the vol rocker and changing my ringer volume.

[Q] a single volume control?

android is great. it really is , its the best thing to ever hit cell phones. however theres one feature i miss that i havent been able to find. im sure you all remember the old school flip phones and what not. the volume buttons on the side controlled all the volume at once. you turned it up and ALL of your phone volume was up, you turned it down and likewise. now with android you have , call volume , ringer volume, system volume, media volume etc. i hate having to go into my options and turn 5 or 6 different bars of volume control up and down. so my question is , is there an app or a mod (without rooting) that i could get that would make the volume buttons control all the volume at once like the old school phones? i could also live with a widget that would do this as well i suppose.
Audiomanager.

[Req] Volume Button App/Hack to control all volume types?

I thought I saw an app somewhere that would let you change the behaviour of the Volume Buttons so that pressing volume down would lower ALL volume types (and not exclude alarms/music).
I don't want an app with an onscreen widget or anything as I like to adjust volumes without unlocking the phone, or even looking at it (easy to adjust volume while in pocket etc..)
The default behaviour of the Samsung S3 is that it reduces/raises all volumes EXCEPT alarms and music, which I can understand for some people, but if I put my phone in vibrate via volume... i do NOT expect to hear a peep from it.
Anyone seen a hack or an app that will do this?

[Q] lack of volume lock on the rocker annoying!

Is anyone else genuinely annoyed with the fact there is no volume lock option on this device? When I want to lower the volume with the rocker on say the lock screen, only the ringer volume goes down, and I have to click the gear icon to manually adjust the volume for the notificatons/media/etc.
I know there are manual volume profile apps/widgets out there, but maybe I'm just old school and want to use the rocker to adjust my volume down for all possible audio output at once.
Any workarounds known out there?

I miss something like the iphone silent switch but it's something we just have to get use to. Simple sound widget seems to do nicely. I just pull down notification bar click it and chose from custom profiles.

Cant use volume rocker Lockscreen

I have CM11 installed and I can't seem to use the volume rocker while i'm in the lockscreen. Is there a solution? Am I missing something in the settings app?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do you mean media volume or ringer volume? Last time I checked, ringer volume cannot be changed straight from the lockscreen aside from the power menu's options (silent, vibrate, ring).
Are you trying to navigate between songs perhaps ? Like @tonytien said, we need to know what purpose you were trying to use this multipurpose button pair.
Nahh, I'm just trying to perhaps change the volume of my ringtone while using the volume rockers, I know I could do that when I was with stock rom and when I was on 10.2. Maybe it's a bug or am I missing something inside the settings.
I haven't used 10.2 enough to know since I've only used 11 with most of my time in the CM world. If ringer volume on lockscreen was ever a feature, it might have been removed. You could check the Buttons section in your settings, I think.
