Hey Folks,
I'm not able to adjust my volume or long press the up volume button to skip songs when I have the screen locked. Is this the way it is or is it just me?
The apps in question are Google Music Beta & Doggcatcher. I know for a fact that Music Beta allows for song skipping (not too important in doggcatcher). I just "upgraded" from an N1 running CM7 so that may be it and I may be spoiled. I thought that, at the very least, I'd be able to adjust the volume while the phone's in my pocket.
My X2 is the same way. I have to turn the screen on to adjust the volume. I hope it's a software issue that can be fixed.
I just found an acceptable work around. I installed Widget Locker and enabled any hardware button to wake the device. The screen wakes (but doesn't unlock) and the volume can be adjusted by just pushing the rocker.

Hi,
I use my N1 to listen music on my car. The problem is that the way the mobile is fixed prevents me from accessing the volume buttons. Since I use Cyanogenmod that now has music control on the lock screen, I was thinking that if there was a way to change the volume using the trackball there too It would be perfect ... less commands, less attention required to change the volume... less danger while driving.
Is it possible to make the trackball control the volume while in the lock screen? Not on the home and not when sleeping, just on the lock screen ...
I was thinking something like... rolling right and/or up to make the volume go up... and left and/or down to make it go down...
I would really appreciate any help.
why not just use the cars audio controls?
Because I use the cellphone plugged directly on an amplifier.
I know that it is a specific situation, but I would use it also with the dock. Sometimes when I want to raise the volume it gets out of the dock...
+1 on this one, would be very useful indeed!
Hello everyone,
I am really annoyed with this feature that causes change in ringtone notification sound if you happen to hit VOL UP and DOWN keys on idle screen (when on unlocked screen). I happen to hit these keys quite often and my ringer volume is often too low and I wonder why didn't I hear my phone ring?
In my opinion, if I need to lower down the ringer volume (or increase it) I'd do it from settings menu under voice call management.
Is there a way to disable this "shortcut" to increase decrease ringer volume when on idle screen, or doing anything while screen is unlocked?
thanks...
Bump.... so is this impossible to achieve guys?
I dont think ive ever heard anyone complaining about it. I suppose you can use something like settings profile to keep it constant, but as far as remapping the volume keys I havent seen anything yet
hi, coming off an ipod touch i am pretty much used to change volume without unlocking the screen.
is it possible to do it on the vibrant?
why does it lock those buttons while the screen is off?
It doesn't lock the buttons. I change volume all the time while listening to Pandora with the screen off.
using the default music player it does not change the volume, only bring up the lockscreen
I use Winamp. In the options for Winamp, there is a "lockscreen" option so that when you come out of standby, the winamp player controls will pop up. This way you don't have to unlock the rest of your phone before changing songs/etc.
Also, with winamp, you can use volume buttons while screen is off.

just installed winamp and i am getting the same result, using vibrant with stock ji6 firmware.
pressing the volume buttons only brings up the lockscreen
got it... it was beucase of my custom lockscreen program lockbot.
will delete it now.
Typical issue:
- about to start some app that makes noise (game, paused music player, etc)
- trying to lower volume in advance, by using the volume button: doesn't work, controls the ringer volume instead as the phone is not playing any sound yet
- start app: LOOOOUUUUDDDDDD... until i can lower volume using volume button.
Question: any way to change the behaviour of the volume button so it controls AT ALL TIMES the media volume?
Thanks!
Don't know about any app that would do that, but you can go to sound settings before opening games, media, players, etc. and lowering the media volume before starting those apps.
Stick a finger over the speaker hole until you're able to lower the volume, it effectively mutes it. (except in very, very quiet environments)
Hi, I'm a newbie,
and i feel your problem as well.
Who in the world often change the ringer volume?
Most people will want it either at maximum volume, or minimum volume (off, at silent mode)
Most people (i believe i speak for most people),
would rather have the volume rocker to control the media volume.
Is there a better fix for this? Please help.
covering the volume hole is a nice trick, but its not really an effective solution.
Man who stick hole in finger better sticking finger in settings sounds and adjusting sound levels no ???

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ah I have this exact same probelm
I have been using the finger up the butt method lol
would be nice to control only media volume with volume button
Does this only happens on the SGS2?
Or all android devices?

I use a "lock the ringer" app for this purpose alone.
If I could reprogram the volume buttons to always only affect the media, I could even get rid of the above app.
Loads of custom ROMs and custom stock ROMs have the option to have the volume expandable so when you tap the rocker the dialer volume appears but then there's a little settings icon at one end and you can tap that and media, notification and alarm volume all appear
My mom has Andorid LG phone with the volume buttons on the back. I'm not sure if those buttons are causing problems but 90% of the time she has issues with volume being turned all the way down. That causes a problem because those moments nobody cann call her as she does not hear the ring. I wonder if there is any hack or App to lock the volume at max level and disable physical buttons (and screen slider if possible).
Ahy ideas ?
