Is there anybody who has heard about a app to disable the volume buttons while typing in landscape?
I'm constantly hitting the buttons while typing on the hardware keyboard.
Maybe somewhone can make such a app?
I would also be interested in this.

I don't have a problem with hitting them while typing, I do have a problem hitting any other time. An app to remap them maybe would be great

I'm really interested in this feature too, my power button is gettin harder to push and sometimes doesn't even "click".
Disable screen lock.then you cam use volume to wake the device.

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
Been doing a bit of searching and it seems that peopple want the Opposite of what I'm looking for. I have the Epic 4g, and do NOT want the volume or camera buttons to wake the phone. Is there a work around for this?
Edit: Never mind, found the problem. It was my "NoLock" app from the market that was allowing the camera and volume keys to wake the phone.
Hi,
Quick question here. I have edited the keylayout files and have succeeded in preventing the screen waking when I press the volume buttons. I tried to do the same for the camera button (defined in some layout files as key 46, as key 212 in others) with no success. I have deleted the wake and wake dropped from every camera assignment I could find, and unlike when I did that for the volume keys, the device still wakes on camera button press. This means it wakes pretty much everytime I put it back in its case, unless I'm extremely careful. I'm thinking maybe the camera wakes the screen due to something other than keylayout assignments? I checked in the camera settings and did not find anything there. Can someone point me to a solution for this?
Thanks!

I've been searching for a mod to allow the volume rocker to pause and resume media while the screen is off. Many roms have borrowed the "volume rocker to skip tracks" feature from cyanogenmod, but I rarely skip backwards and I would rather have a hard key option to pause/resume without having to turn on the the screen.
Also, I don't want to totally remap the volume keys, just edit the long-press function while the screen is off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Quickly searching, I couldn't find anything like that other than remapping, but I did find this music player app. It does use the typical Volume rocker skip forward and back.
But if you read the description, you can use the power button double press to pause and double press to start the music , and you can edit the options of that function slightly.

It appears to run a service and isn't an actual music player in itself. You simply activate it, and then the functions apply to your music player. I can attest that the pause and skip FW and BK function works with AudioGalaxy. I don't use any other players but I may install and try a few with it.
It may be a battery drain, but that is to be determined.
Thanks... I hadn't seen that app before so I gave it a try. It uses double presses of the hard keys for media controls. Unfortunately it has a few drawbacks.
First, while you can use the power button to pause while the screen is off, it turns on the screen. Second, the the volume controls become a bit unruly and it tends to skip tracks when trying to change volume. I think this app would benefit from using long presses instead of multiple presses.

That is a good point. Perhaps you should send that to the dev. Or if you know how to make your own apps........
After having messed with it since I found it, although some might find it useful, I agree with you on the long press vs double tap, and I would think having it running would just add memory demand and battery usage. As well its another thing to turn on and off.
Maybe you can try tasker.
Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
+1 for Tasker. Forgot about it.
Should be able to get it to function as desired. It is a tricky app to learn, be forewarned, but it can do amazing things once you start to figure it out.
Tasker is really cool and I've tried it on several occasions for this issue but I couldn't find a way to program long presses.
I thought there may be a simple way to edit the cyanogenmod "long press to skip back" into a pause/resume function (like a simple text edit) but I've had no luck. Wish I was a programmer...
