Are there any apps that disable the volume button when locked? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Screen Suite does give the option but rather not spend $2 to get this option

Why do you want to do it? How do you will change volume when lisining any music?

I rarely ever need to but what happens a lot is me accidentally changing the volume or changing sound profile
It's really my case because it makes a heck a lot easier to hit the button

Volume button

Anyone else got a loose volume button
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
What do you mean? All I know the thing which disturbing me is that I can't control both Ringtone & notification volume with one click on the hardware volume button
When I move volume button for side to side it feels loose and a gap appears

Home button wake up phone

Is there a mod like that...where I could use the home button to wake my
Phone because my power button just popped off yesterday...or know any to me that do that...I know Pacman Rom does...thanks in advance...

Thought all ROMs allowed it unless they removed it.

I think the OP meant to have the phone POWER UP using that button, instead of wake up....
If that is the case, I've never seen that, would be interesting. Should not have said "wake" OP, wake insinuates it was sleeping (screen just off) not "dead". You said that it was in the Pac Man rom where did you find it there?
You can try to change key layout. Make nandroid backup for safty and go to system/usr/kaylayout. I don't know which key is which so you would have to look around in there. I can't guarantee that this will work because I never tried that, but it should. Let us know about results.
Good luck

No I just ment wake up...cause to get to my recovery i have to use a paperclip to push in where my power button was...but yeah I ment wake up so I could still wake it up to even use my phone but im gonna check yhose files ill tell you what I find...thanks for the help guys...

This thread should answer your questions. Instead of removing wake make sure wake is included.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836758
Pretty sure only a couple roms removed that, every rom I've tried wakes up with the home button. About all but 4 lol.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
If you ment just wake up I'm going to look which files and keys I have for that and I will give you names of them so you can edit them.
Update: Ok, I've checked that and it seems that key 172 in sec_keys.kl is home button. So if you would just add "WAKE" after it then you should be ok. I think that if you would also add "POWER" then it should power on or off (?) your phone. I don't know how you would be able to get to recovery then but it's interesting. Maybe phone will think that you press both buttons? xD

As a workaround to get into recovery without using a paperclip, you can use any of a number of apps that have a reboot to recovery option.

what do you launch with your quickbutton?

currently have mine set to none.
tried the camera but i seem to keep accidently pushing the button which is weird because i have to press firmly and accurately to click the power button
Camera. Makes burst mode easier.
Google Now. After hitting the button I say "Google" and speech recog starts right up.

Quick memo takes a screen shot, and it is programmed to the button by default. Simply hit the save icon and select gallery to save the shot to your sd card.

Would be great that the button wake the phone and launch the app! !
Voice search. Thinking about changing it though, not sure if I need that there. Not sure what else to put there though.

Lock button problems.

I just picked up my phone yesterday and now I don't even have to press the lock button for it to work. I can just rub my finger on it. And its really annoying because it keeps turning off and on in my pocket. Is their a way to make the power menu show up when long pressing the menu button and then turning off the power button completely?

Usually that's something a app would do (or even a setting in your ROM).
Btw, we're missing some info here, what is on your phone atm?
I'm on the 3.6 paranoid android ROM. And really? I thought it would be some kind of hardware.

I'd suggest going in the PA thread and look at their features to see if touch wake is in there. Also, to look through your ROM settings.
What you mean by you just got it?
I just picked my phone up and it started doing it

I'm not sure I understand what you want. I though you wanted your screen to not wake from touch? If so, why would you want to turn off your lock button?
Either way, you can remap you hardware buttons but I don't suggest it.
No my lock button is doing the touching. Like I can slide my finger on my lock button and it turns on and off and it turns on my phone in my pocket and turns it off a lot. Its like the button is super sensitive.

Oh wow, I completely miss-understood you.
You button being extra sensitive it definitely hardware related. You might have to open your phone and clean it or have it replaced.
I've opened my phone up and tried paper in between it and cleaned it and all that. I don't even know whats wrong. That's why I just want to turn the button off completely.

Is the button loose? Or further in than it should?
And you can look into button mapping but make sure to backup your files before changing them. Also, you will lose power menu.
The button is the same to me. And yeah I wish I could just change something then turn it off. And no I changed my menu button to where long press is the power menu.

That worked amazingly thank you.
