Anyone know of an app or update that can stop the volume rocker sending the phone into silent mode. My son's old phone volume rocker only went down to vibrate so now he keeps turning the sound of by habit/accident.
You could use Tasker for this. Create a profile that every (few) minute(s) would set the volume to the desired level. That way the phone will stay on silent at most for the period between two consecutive profile triggers.
Cheers!
Thanks though it's not what I really want. I don't want a set volume level, just to stop it being put into full silent mode by the buttons.
As far as I know, there's no easy way into intercepting and blocking volume keys. It's hardcoded into Android and can only be modified into custom ROMs (like skip tracks in CyanogenMod). But I don't know of anything that does what you want. So that's why I presented you this workaround.

Thanks again, I do appreciate it but that is not a workaround that actually achieves what I want, that would cause a fixed volume, I want to be able to change the volume and go vib only but avoid silent.

Hi
Is there any way to lock the volume control ?
I often find I adjust the volume control when using the HD and often even mute it without noticing, resulting in missed alarms etc.
The perfect setup would be so that the only place I can change the colume control is within a call. When the call is over the volume control should go back to what it was before and lock it.
Any apps that can do something similary to this ?
Thanks in advance....

Is there a programme available to lock the volume buttons. I also hit them accidentally and sometimes completely turn off the volume and miss calls.
Can anyone help us on this one?

I find it strange that you always can change the volume. It should only be in one place. Changing the volume on talk you should be able to do during a call.
But you should not be able to mute the volume by misstake in for example in your pocket.
Strange...
Hello,
Does anyone know how I stop the volume buttons from adjusting my ringer volume? It's very annoying to sometimes accidentally press them without realizing it, and then have the phone explode at maximum volume when a call comes in.
Thanks!
I can do this, but without testing it im not sure what it will do. Meaning, it may disable the button completely in the rom. (will still work in recovery though). But its worth a try.
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.
Hi there, I have been running FrostyJB ROM for quite some time and I'm liking it. In the most latest release, dj added the function to use volume rockers to skip tracks. The feature is nice but it has been bothering me as it keeps changing the profile mode. For example, if my phone is on silent and I use the skip track feature while screen is locked, the phone will switch to sound mode. Is there a way to overcome this changing phone profiles with the skip track feature or a way to remove this feature?
Thanks for your help!
One thing that bugged me about the Note (and most tablets/phones) was volume control. Often times I need to have the volume set low enough as to not disturb someone else in the home, but I have two choices, either I can't hear it or it is very loud.
I found a app called Fine Volume Control that allowed me to adjust the volume on a 100% scale in 1% increments or decrements. It allowed for the perfect volume level. The only part that made it suck was that you had to hit the volume up or done (sometimes making a video or whatever blast for a second) and you would get a "popup" volume control dial. Anyway, I'm assuming that the amount of control is (currently 15 points) must be somewhere in some section of the system that a root user could modify much like an app would only so that the volume buttons and sliders would adjust it properly with more levels of control.
Does anyone know if this setting exists and if yes, where would it be?
you can change the base volume in the default_gain file in system/etc but i havent found any related to adding the step...

Hmm...I tried changing a few things (nothing like random guessing) and rebooted each time...doesn't seem to do much.
