Hello,
S3 is my first smartphone ever, so please be patient
Since I'm a student, I put my phone on mute during the classes (through the notification bar).
However, it happened to me twice now that accidental touch on volume up hard key took me out of mute. This is of course undesirable... Is there a way to disable this function of volume-up key?
I want to remain muted until I cancel it on notification bar.
Thanks!
bump... can anyone help?
Sad....it remains a big drawback of the android phones that we cant make different profiles for volume like Nokia phones......
I think you can only do this by finding a tone with no sound and setting it for all the alerts manally from sound setting before entering your class room
anyhow this is a good question and hope some devs can desable vol- button for enabling full vol. back
Thanks...
but modifying it manually at the beginning of each class, then again at the end, is not very comfortable.
Perhaps it can be fixed with a mod? something like that:
- clicking volume up if phone is not muted increases the volume, as usual.
- clicking volume up if phone is muted doesn't do anything.

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
Hello All,
I need some help, I had a broken screen and when I replaced it I managed to break both the side volume buttons!
Now I can live with this until I order a replacement ribbon but since I don't have the side volume buttons any more I cannot adjust the speaker volume while i'm making a phone call and it's set to quite low at the moment.
Does anybody know what the program is called so I can invoke it set it to max and close it or at least the registry value that controls this?
Please note both system and ringer volumes are set to max through the device settings, it's the volume during a call I wish to increase...
Thanks in advance!
Did I ask the only un-answerable question in this entire forum?!?!
Put "windows mobile volume setting" into google. The first two links give you some freeware apps that allow you to edit volume on the screen itself.
Coming from sense and cm7 on other phones I was surprised the sgs2 didn't have this by default.
Is there any way for the volume keys to control the global volume for the phone?
Meaning
Ringing
Notifications
Alerts and so on
I mean I put my volume low not to disturb people sometimes but the volume for the other things seems to stay at the levels selected under settings-sounds-volume
Other phones with various roms had an option for
Use ring volume for all sounds which avoided this issue. Is there a way around this issue? I would use miui or cm7 normally but they are too buggy for this phone right now.
Had my phone volume at lowest above silent yesterday and then got a notification which woke up my baby daughter cause volume for notifications was at 50% in settings.
Not cool
Thanks for any help on this

Right now I have to resort to using apps that make profiles. Which I didn't have to use this old method of changing my ringing or a 3rd party app
Hi,
First time poster and I registered just to see if I can get this question answered. My issue is that I really hate that when I change from sound to mute via the vibrate icon in the pull-down taskbar that it actually vibrates. I also hate that it vibrates when I push the volume putton down towards mute.
If im lying in bed with the Mrs and not wanting to wake her while I browse my phone i want to be able to go from sound to mute and when passing through vibrate that it actually doesnt vibrate (I dont need to be told im on that setting). There is an app called mute to do this but I wish I could disable the vibrate when changing profiles entirely. The icon tells me whether it is on vibrate or not without needing to vibrate to tell me I have moved onto the vibrate setting!! Same goes for during a meeting when I am toggling one way or the other i want to do it without making a noise. I know I could use the power button to go to silent mode but I prefer to use the dropdown menu.
With my iPhone I could have just changed a text file or something but I guess its different with android?
So essentially I only want my phone to vibrate when I am getting an alert like a call, text message, calendar alert etc and not when Im cycling through my sound profiles. Maybe Im weird and this doesnt bother anybody else but it would be great to hear if this is possible to hack?
Thanks
David
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 ?
