Any programs out there that will allow you to adjust the call volume using the up and down nav. I notice these buttons don't do anything during the calls now. why not remap them so they adjust volume?
Anyone know of a hack that will do this. That touch strip is the stupidest idea ever. I cannot believe people agreed to having that thing on the phone.

Yup, I downloaded and tried that app but the issue is you have to upen an application, choose the volume, click ok, wait 3 seconds, then it is applied, then you gotta close it.
I really want to know if there s a way to map the up and down so I press up, and the volume goes up a notch during a call.
I hate the jogger, but it is simpler than that application
I keep changing the volume of the device just by holding it.
My fingers seems to rest on the volume button(s). Both when I hold the Desire HD
In portrait and landscape mood.
Really annoying
Is there a way to disable the physical volume button and use a software dito.
For all sound except during calls, then those physical buttons might come handy.
I have managed to turn of the Mic on a X10 Mini, but didn't believe I would have problems with a full size mobile...

I'm also interested in this. Google shows it's been done on other devices so it should be possible. Unfortunately I'm not clever enough to do it but someone out there must be.
Heck I'd even live with it being disabled during calls assuming I'd pre set it at an adequate level.
I had the same issue!
Check out Volume Control+ on the Android Marketplace. You can set the volumes for each program individually and lock the volume rocker outside of calls or videos; whatever you like.
It's not perfect; the rocker will still vibrate when you press it if it's locked. The volume won't change though. It's definitely good enough!
Hi guys
Hope I am posting this in the right place. I'm looking for an app that allows me to increase the volume on my gs2 by smaller increments than the volume rocker does standard? Basically every time i hit up or down on the volume rocker the difference is huge. I can't seem to find the right volume for music. One notch will be too quiet, the next one up is too loud. My setup is:
2.3.4 stock, unrooted
Equalizer app custom eq
poweramp eq
Ultimate ears super fi noise isolating headphones
I use these settings and apps because standard it sounds rubbish. i've finally got my sounds right, but can't get the right volume! I've tried heaps of apps from the market, volume+, volume control, etc. All increase the volume by the standard 10% increment rather than the 5% i'm looking for. Fine volume control sort of worked, but it seemed after i adjusted the volume it would quickly revert in a second or two.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, that shouldn't be happening; are you using the hardware volume buttons to change the volume? You have to use the dial or in-app sliders to modify the volume, if you use any other app to change the volume (or the rocker buttons), then it will move in larger increments.
If you need more a longer time to trial it, then PM/email me your UUID (menu/preferences then hold down your back button)
Thanks, I will give this another try and report back.

With some more experimentation, this works really well, so I bought it two things I was wondering about though, is there any way to lock volume, as I must be knocking as it shoots right up, and is there any way to save as a preset?

Presets are a possible future addition.
Not sure about volume lock, there are apps in the market like "RingGuard" and "Volume Locker" which would work - but only if you moved the volume enough to trigger an API level volume change, which is approx every 10-20%.

The volume slider shoots up when you press the hardware volume buttons? That's normal - it's because of how your device volume is calibrated (by the ROM).
The default volume stages aren't evenly spread across the entire available range. Our app shows the full range available, so when you press the volume buttons (from outside our app) it can appear to jump. It is effectively jumping, because the default API doesn't allow you to access those volume levels that lie between jumps (but you can with fine volume).
Basically, all other volume control apps and the Android system show the volume in terms of API volume levels. Fine volume control shows the volume in terms of the full available range. All other apps (and the volume hardware buttons) change the volume in terms of API levels.
It shoots up when using the dial. I've tried changing the sensitivity as well. Seems to always shoot media volume to 94%. It only does this occasionally though. All in all a great app!

Just to confirm, the dual on the far left is the overall volume? So if I am at 90% media volume but 7% overall, the media volume is 90% of the 7%, not of its possible maximum?

No, each slider is independent from the rest (ringer and notification are locked together though). There is no overall volume control.
The slider on the left (Android logo) is "System" volume, things like Screen lock sounds.
I have a rooted HTC Desire running Cyanogenmod 7 for which I wanted fine volume control. I like to be able to change volume using the rocker but it instantly shoots to 100% and that is extremely painful when using canalphones. I have uninstalled fine volume control 2 because I don't want to run the risk of insane volume levels.
Does anyone have any idea if this can be built into the volume API and have reliable hardware control?

Were you using the dial/overlay to change the volume?
Did the overlay not respond to your initial gesture, then suddenly "catch-up"?
Were you turning the volume up when it jumped?
I'm really sorry about this, I'll try and put in some volume limiter to prevent it happening.

Sorry for the late reply.
Dial/overlay worked as expected. what was causing problems was accidental use of the hardware buttons. Because that is what I am used to using. The app does not change hardware button behaviour and actually makes it worse as the volume can go almost instantly from 0 to 100% when touching the rocker.

The main volume app component overrides the hardware buttons and increases/decreases the volume by 1% each time you tap the button.
If the main volume app isn't currently on top, it can't override the hardware buttons (the overlay can't override either). It's a limitation of the Android system.
Each time you hit the hardware buttons from outside of the app, the volume will change in the default way (15 stages for media).
I've had a few reports of a bug when using earphones on the SGSII of erratic volume levels, so I have since added a volume limiter for when using headphones to workaround that sort of issue.
I play music off my phone in the car. After I answer a call, the music resumes at a much lower volume, despite the fact that I haven't touched the volume on the phone or car. I have to press volume up 3 times and it doesn't go gradually up, but instantly from the low volume to the high it was at. Is there a setting to get the music volume to maintain? Using poweramp. Thanks
Anyone have a similar issue? I remember having it on the GNex as well but fixed it somehow. Cannot remember how, though. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I continue to experience this same problem on stock 4.1.2 ROM. I suspect it is a bug in the ROM. I don't know how to duplicate the problem because I have gotten calls and the volume was correctly restored. I've also tried making calls and the volume was correctly restored.
check all your sound setting and make sure that the volume is up on the system part of the sound menu...i had the same problem ...that seemed to fix it for me...

Doesn't matter if I'm using the earpiece or speakerphone the volume doesn't change when I use the physical volume buttons or the on-screen slider. Anyone else had this problem or know of a solution or things/settings I can check? It seems to be locked where it's at even though I can see the slider moving.
Can't really say when it started. I'm wondering if I may have removed something while cleaning up bloat and such that I shouldn't have after rooting/bootloader. Maybe there is an app that is now affecting it. I don't know but it really sucks. Lol
Btw, volume for music and video playback adjusts just fine which further leads me to believe it's a system process or something with the software.
