When playing music with the screen off, neither the stock headphone's volume buttons nor the phone's volume buttons work, requiring the power button to be pushed. The pause button on headphones works. Any thoughts? Never was this way on my S2. On Wicked v5.1/faux kernel.
More clearly: this is with the screen completely off; it works fine on lock screen. What I'm hoping to have happen is the ability to control the volume when I'm using it as a music player, with the volume buttons simply working without turning the screen on. It doesn't work on Player Pro, nor the stock music player. It also doesn't change the volume on phone calls if when the screen is powered off, but is fine when the screen is off due to proximity. Thanks!
This happens to me too, i not tested very deeply, but when i reset the phone, works normally, just after a few apps (rooted ones included) it just stops working while screen is off...
Did anyone find a solution? I have the exact same problem! Model: I9500
EDIT: Guys I found the problem. It was with one of my xposed mods. I had enabled skipping tracks with volume keys. This resulted to neither track changing nor volume control. I suspect it was clashing with my poweramp volume button controls. I disabled that option in wanam xposed and rebooted.. Everything is back to normal!

But don't you think it's a pain to reset your phone everytime? I mean isn't data loss and app restoration everytime painful? Or do you mean reboot?

I've tried to modify qwery.kl and utms_jordan.kl but no luck.

Is it just me or does that sound like a rather mean-spirited reply? For what it's worth, I've never heard of a Defy that wakes using the volume button - wouldn't mind that functionality, though. Perhaps we could swap?
I only wanted him to know the volume buttons don't wake up the phone with CM7.
Can it be an option somewhere in Froyo?
no, I wasn't trying to be rude.
volume buttons wake the phone only when no screen lock is on.
actually to turn off screen lock I have to use the app called 'no lock'.
in this case pressing the top turn on/off button wakes the phone and no extra swipe nor pin asked.
however the same thing what volume button do but this never happend until I flashed the nordic one.
as I mentioned I was playing with the *.kl files but didn't make any changes.
what I'm trying to do is lock/unlock the phone by the turn on/off button only.
From time to time I could notice my system volume going up to max. I couldn't find out what going on. Now I know, anytime press the dialer on system volume going up and i always turn it down, very annoying (because keyboard, lock screen etc.) I know I can do hard reset or switch volume off. This is stock DHD software 2.3.3.
Thank you
same gere
I think only hard reset
Time to root and install a custom ROM.
not sure if this will help or not but have you tried an app called 'volume control'
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.revsodev.volumecontrol
i've found it very useful because sometimes my system volume would decrease for no reason. with this you can adjust all of your volume settings easily
Yes, I tried this one and many others that is only solution until you press dialer again.

Hi guys.
So i managed to get my desire wet/damp and whilst it still works it has developed 3 issues:
1) The weirdest of all - the phone wont go into standby, as soon as you press the power button or let it timeout the screen goes off and they instantly turns back on to the lock screen. If i leave it, it will timeout again on lockscreen and come back on, it does this forever. I have done factory resets etc, all the same. Weird right
2) Volume keys do not work - think means i had issues getting into recovery. Finally found a widget to do it and then....
3) Trackpad does not work in recovery so i cannot re-flash or try any new rom to see if that fixed (1)
Proper catch 22
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Brisgstfer
UPDATE
OK I HAVE AN UPDATE:
The plot thickens but i have managed to S-OFF my Desire and eventually install Clockworkmod Touch which obviously doesn't require me to use the trackpad button so I was able to use Recovery. I wiped the phone and tried reflashing the ROM i had been using (Insertcoin) but this made no difference, the phone still keeps waking up immediately that it goes to sleep (either with power button or by sleeping timeout).
So i decided to install a completely different ROM (CM10_VJ_4.1.2_v3.0) and this installed fine. Now the phone will go to sleep and stay asleep if I press the power button. Problem solved I thought!
Now when the phone is asleep 50% of the time, trying to wake it with the power button will cause it to reset immediately and goto the white HTC screen. When it restarted it sits on the unlock screen and keeps timing out, screen goes off, then immediately on again - weird. If i unlock and lock with power button it will behave. For some reason the Search key will wake the phone every time no issues. Only the power key to unlock causes it to reset. Phone is sleeping according to Battery info.
Any other suggestions for what I could try. Could this possibly be something hardware related now? If there a way i can log the key presses or reason it wakes/resets?
Any help really appreciated, the phone is pretty unusable with this reset issue now.
THanks

May be a hardware issue. But try installing a lighter ROM like dGB or MildWild and see if the issue persists.

Thanks mate. So i tried this and installed CM7 today and have discovered something. As i said above the volume down button doesn't work and the volume up only works with some persuasion. Once i installed CM7 the problem where I lock phone with power key and it instantly wakes up now persists (on the JB rom it at least stayed asleep but reset if power button was pressed again).
However whe i changed the display timeout to 15seconds i watched as it timed out and instantly woke then noticed the volume would increment down one notch each it woke up again. This leads me to think that rather then the volume down not working at all it is actually stuck down permanently and could be causing the issue here. Is there any way I can find out if this is the case and disable the volume keys through software or do i need to open up the phone and disconnect it?
Thanks for any help - i think we are getting there!

Flash a ROM which can be unlocked via trackpad and volume can be adjusted from the phone settings without touching volume keys and the power button on the top.
I recommend MildWild5.8 based on CM7. When I was on it, I totally forgot about volume and power keys because all the phone operations can be done without them.
Thanks thats a great suggestion. I actually worked out that the trackpad is being pressed down constantly too because on CM7 when i disable trackpad to wake the phone actually stays asleep.
Is there any way to disable both volume and trackpad buttons at the kernal/system level?
Hey all this is my first post on XDA and want to say it's an awesome site,
I recently rooted my Galaxy S4 M919 and flashed the Wicked v8 rom on my stock rom without cleaning just installed right on top of it, don't know if it's a good thing or not.
Anyways I noticed the volume keys are not working during screenlock. I have to press the home button ( screen light comes on) then the volume keys start working again.
Am I missing something? Help please.

Well I suggest you do a FULL wipe clean install. My volume button work just fine with screen off. You could also set extra function in Wicked ROM Control app such as track forward and back ect.

Have you opened the "wicked control" and looked at all the options there yet?
I am almost certain that there is an option there to do exactly what you want,
using volume rockers to change volume.
Check it out, there are a lot of neat options in the Wicked Control.
Good luck!
Volume up/down should just work with no adjustment of settings.
Wicked Rom control let you set "long press" of the volume buttons.
Thanks guys for the speedy solutions. Minus the wipe everything (!)
The problem occured due to the volume key controls were disabled in the Wicked control panel.
Turned it on, it is working as expected.
Do you mean having the ability to increase/decrease music or phone call volumes while the screen is off? I can't do this with any of the Wicked ROMs, and the Wicked Rom control doesn't affect this (at least on my phone) whether using the phone's volume buttons or the volume controls on the stock Samsung headphones. The "end call" button on the headphones works, but not volume. This is a fairly small thing, but my biggest issue with the otherwise excellent Wicked ROMs.
I increase the volume all the time with the phone turned off and Pandora running in the background.

Hmm....I wonder why it won't work for me.
Hi,
I am trying to increase the ringer volume using the volume up button but it is not working. Whenever I press the volume up button the volume indicator comes up but remains at zero. Even when I slide the indicator over at higher values the moment I press the volume up button it returns to zero. I restart the phone and the problem seems to go away for a couple of hours and then automatically goes to zero again without me touching it. Anyone else has this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it? The phone stays in vibration mode only and I miss calls because of this.
Thanks.
Strange problem, my volume button seems to work fine and I cannot reproduce the issue. You may have to try a full wipe and reinstall the ROM.
Hi thanks for the reply! I am on the original elephone rom. I only updated through the elephone application, but this issue appear much later!
Perhaps try flashing an older ROM again or try clean install of eragon ROM, if problem persists then maybe it's a hardware issue like a sticky volume switch.

I somehow doubt that. As OP said "Whenever I press the volume up button the volume indicator comes up but remains at zero."
For me it sounds more like the switch is working but there is a software problem.
@ OP: Have you tried e.g. to watch a video or listen to music an the higher or lower the volume? Is it working there at least?
I am using a rooted cricket h634 LG stylo 5.1, WITHOUT custom ROM installed, I am also experiencing issues with my volume up button, I have removed bloatware but that is the extent of what I've done so far. My volume wrks if I use the drop down tray, volume down works, but not up.
