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
Hi
on HTC devices I was able to use the volume rocker to set the device to vibration and by pressing the volume down button again to mute my device completely.
This is not possible any more in ICS? I can only set the device to vibration. What about muting?
The thing I am wondering about is, that I can use the HTC widget to do that and sometimes my profile manager (setting profiles) also is able to enter silent mode. So sometimes I can see the crossed note icon in notification bar, but most often I only see the vibration icon.
What is that supposed to be?

The device goes from 7,6,5,4,3,2,1,SILENT,VIBRATE

If you hold volume down until it goes to vibrate mode, just press it up once and you will then have silent mode
No idea. But for me it works like a charm. volume rocker first all the way down - vibrate mode and once more and its silent mode (or vice versa, cant remember exactly). Same with the widget. Press it once, silent, two times, vibrate.
Not working for me... 3, 2, 1, vibrate. Volume down no more reaction. Volume up again, volume setting to 1.
But good to know that this should work. So maybe something is messing with the settings in background.
im not sure as i dont own the one x yet, but maybe it is like on the gnex with stock ICS that u need to go to the settings first and check the option: silent mode!
This is really weired.
Using the volume rocker to show the volume slider and then pressing the icon in front of the slider switches between the 3 modes as expected.
Using the volume rocker now, after playing with the settings, sometimes switches to silent mode but most of the time still only vibrant.
Sometimes I see a short silent mode icon in notification (just for the part of a second).
I have the HTC widget on home screen showing the mode. This often shows a different mode as the icon in the not.area.
So whats's wrong with my device???
I even uninstalled my profile manager for testing. No change...
Using the rocker it will go from loud to quiet then vibrate, now just press up on the rocker and it will go from vibrate to silent.
use the rocker then slide the thing down = sound off.
I attached 2 screenshots showing the illogical settings I get using the volume slider...
First image:
You can see the mute icon in not-area and the zero volume value in slider but the HTC widget shows vibrate
Second image:
Still muted but showing vibration profile here too
Why am I the only one having that problem???
OK, solved it. Resetted to factory default and restored step by step. Seems that the setting data storage was damaged. Skipped this on restore and everything is fine now!!!
I use the widget because I cannot get it to go into silent mode using the volume rockers (but then neither could my Xperia Arc on the stock ROM, so I guess that's normal)

This also solved my issue.
To be more precise: I seem unable to adjust the call volume whilst the phone is on my ear & the screen blank - once I lower the phone & the screen comes back I can adjust the volume without any problems. Is it just me, am I missing something?
I also got problem....

no problems even while the screen is blank, why dont u try restarting ur phone and see if it works
and you are using the volume rocker to increase/decrease the call volume right ?
Well, whatever it was it seems to have disappeared after updating the phone to 1.28 - thanks for the quick reply.
I'm having this issue too - HTC One X running 1.29. When I call someone I can change the volume using the rocker on the side while the phone is ringing, but the rocker doesn't seem to do anything once we're talking. I called someone the other day and as it was noisy around me I turned the volume up, but then once they answered it quietened down and I couldn't turn the volume back down. Annoying!
I also have this problem, and from memory it has persisted from 1.26 -> 1.28 -> 1.29
what happens is that I'll take a call, and after the screen turns off from holding it next to my ear, the volume rocker will still work for maybe a minute?
after some time, e.g. 5 minutes (i've never actually timed it), the volume rocker will be completely unresponsive until i take it away from my ear (after screen turns back on)
That's what I experience too. Have to.move phone away from ear to adjust volume....

Greetings everyone,
Is there a way to disable the ringtone volume control using the volume rocker? Every time I use my phone, I keep hitting the volume rocker by mistake, changing from vibration mode to sound mode. I tried using apps like RingGuard and such, but they weren't effective and kept popping up in the notification center. Is there a way to get rid of the ringtone control option?
Thanks!

Completely disable the Volume buttons on Samsung Galaxy S3
I absolutely hate the placement of the power button on my Samsung Galaxy S3. When I go to holster my phone, if I accidentally hit the power button and wake the phone, when the phone fits into the holster the volume button will often brush against the holster and the volume will inadvertently change since the phone is now "awake" - this drives me CRAZY. I much preferred the power button to be on top of the phone, like my old Droid Incredible. But I do love my S3....
I tried the apps that "lock" the volume, but I was not happy with that solution. The apps seemed clunky, the geek in me doesn't like to have unnecessary app running in the background, and those apps tended to interfere with and/or alter the settings of the super-simple Silent Toggle Widget that I prefer to use.
So this is how I set up my phone:
- Completely disable the volume rocker button (see below);
- Use the Silent Toggle Widget on my Home screen to change the phone from "Sound" to "Vibrate" to "Silent";
- Use the Volume Control+ app to change the individual volumes via software, when the need arises, which it rarely does.
I love it. I don't find any real need to change individual volumes, for me the sound is either "on" or "off" - color me simple I guess.
So, to completely disable the volume rocker button on the Samsung Galaxy S3:
- Root your phone (sorry)
- Edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/sec_keys.kl [note the plural "s" in sec_keys.kl]
- Comment out the first two lines with the pound sign (#) to disable key 115 volume_up and 114 volume_down
- Reboot
Hope someone else finds this useful
this is a real shame that yoy have to disable the whole rocker, as this functionality has been for years in the iPhone...
Hey,
In most phones with ICS and above, when clicking the volume down button few times the sound is muted, but vibration is still on. Then, when you click one more time, the phone gets fully muted, with the vibration disabled.
For some reason, (my) note 2 doesnt behave that way.
I cannot disable the vibrations using just the volume keys, so I have to do this in the status bar menu, or in the power off menu.
Any ideas?
Hey,
Same problem here.. But with - G2.. Since i flashed JB Leak
Any ideas?

Its a Samsung "feature". I guess some talented dev could change this.
It's funny that it enables vibration this way, cause i have disabled it in settings ^^ Samsung must have some morons working there ^^ would be nice to get this fixed so i could mute my phone without touching screen..
