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.

I promise - I watched the video and searched the hell out of this before posting...
can you change the wake phone function from the power button to, say, the volume keys and/or the home soft button?
thanks in advance. please don't slaughter me if this is posted elsewhere!

Idk where it is at in the samsung devices but usually you can change the key layout by editing user-key layout you can also remap the search button to any app.

i can see how that would be useful but i couldn't find it and moreover, i think when the phone goes into sleep-mode, those soft keys are disabled. i guess i am looking for a way to either wake the phone with the volume keys - or - somehow enable those soft buttons so i can hit the home one and wake up my phone.

You would have to give the keys a set wake option. I can do it for htc devices but i don't know much about samsung devices. You would want a volume rocker wake I'm guessing or menu and back wake right. You can also use an app called widget locker it enables you to wake the device from volume rocker etc.
thanks again for the thoughts.
i think i'll patiently wait a few weeks for people smarter than me to start writing apps specific to this phone.
have a great day!
I think this will come in handy since some of us don't want to wear out the power button but be able to use both. The only problem I might see using the volume button is when you are listening to something with your headphones. Would pressing the volume button be changing the volume or waking the phone? hahaha..i'm sure there will be options.
The latest version of Juggernaut has that as an option, if you're into flashing custom roms.

That is correct, Juggernaut 2.6 has this feature and flashing is pretty simple.
i use this option on Juggernaut too. its great cuz i cant always reach the power button even tho i have huge hands.
which ROM except Juggernaut has this option, I mean waking phone up by sound button?
Darkside's Dewizzed does. and it's a GREAT rom.
I actually hate the 'feature'. I listen to music lots with my phone, and having to double tap the volume rocker to adjust volume sucks, and then it turns on the screen. Since half the time it's in my pocket and i'm pushing buttons through that... long story short i've pocket texted a couple times.
/rant.
Yes, and you can do this without rooting and without installing a custom rom by using the application widget locker, which has an option to wake the phone using the volume keys. Otherwise several roms support this such as the Darkside Dewizzed rom.
Epic bump, but Josh from mobile tech videos gave my phone a solution like this when my phone had an internal shortage. He set the volume+ button as the wake button and it did involve the key layout as someone in this thread had said earlier. Ill be back with a link to an xda thread that had the same idea but for a different device.
I bump this because even though he changed the button layout, I completely forgot about it and flashed a different rom :S now I seek a solution.

ParanoidAndroid also has this function. I already had my power button fail once and had to replace it I now have the option of using the volume buttons or power button to wake the phone.
I'm using the latest build of the AOKP ROM for the CDMA Nexus. I would post in the megathread but I never post on these forums so I'm not able to.
Whenever I'm listening to music the volume down button turns the screen on when pressed. The volume up button doesn't. I have the option to wake the phone with the volume buttons disabled in the ROM settings. I've also deleted any instance of the volume buttons being tied to WAKE in the system/usr/keylayout files, which worked when I was using CM9 but does nothing for me on this ROM. Just looking for any possible solutions.

Besides having to wake the phone, the power button is useless to me. I use apps like RomToolBox to restart and go into recovery. Goo.im App can go into recovery as well. When the phone dies during business ours, which never happens, I can plug it into a usb and boot up by holding vol+and vol- to boot or just put into my cars dock and it boots without power button. I use CM based roms with volume rocker wake. besides that, the phone also wakes from unplugging and plugging chargers...Power button doesn't really matter to me as long as volume rocker wake is enable.
im interested in this as well, my power buttom died once already and got it fixed, but I try to press it as little as possible.
so op, your power button isnt 'stuck' but totally broken? im just scared the my button will stick and stay in a bootloop. Btw you can use 'spob' app to wake the phone using the proximity sensor. Right now im using switch pro and lock the phone and spob to wake it - dont have to use the powee button at all haha

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?

Hello guys!
I need something to power on phone without using a jig. A rom with working button remap to power on phone, or is there anyway to make volume + button to work when phone is turned off, and actually manage to turn it on?
I have done button remap and it only works as long as phone is turned on.

I would recommend you get a rom with volume wake. There are apps on the google play store that, the one I use is call "Button Savior".
This is assuming that you can get the phone to power up to recovery and flash a working rom. Currently using the CM 10.1 and it's working pretty well for me.

Thanks I downloaded Beanstalk because of 4.4.2 version, It included Volume button wake but. I remap the Volume key to turn on and off screen by editing the key layout files in system. I used this guide of reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696526
Removed faulty switch and use a paper clip to turn on and off the phone.
Paper clip can be stored inside battery cover.
This phone is from my friend which I fixed for him.
Thanks :good:
