I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem or if any dev may know a solution.
A few days ago, I flashed the Stock with Goodies v1.75 ROM, which comes with the mod that allows you to skip tracks with the volume rocker. However, when I tried to use it with the stock Music app, a long-press of the volume rocker did nothing at all. When I turned the screen on, the lock screen controls were also non-functional. The "buttons" would respond to presses, but would do nothing at all. Short-presses for the volume rocker work as expected (raising/lowering the volume).
Thinking the ROM just wasn't jiving with my phone, I decided to flash Rejuvinated Stock v2.15 last night. Upon first testing, the volume rocker worked as it should, and the lock screen controls worked fine. However, when I used it this morning, both stopped working again. It is just as before--long-press of the rocker does nothing, lock screen app controls respond to touch but don't actually do anything.
It's becoming frustrating to have to unlock the screen to change tracks all the time, so I'd REALLY appreciate some help here. I considered flashing the Universal Menu Button Remap/Volume Rocker mod, but I do not want the menu button remap. Is there a flashable .zip for just the rocker mod somewhere?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Just tried a reboot and clearing the app's data, to no avail.
I'll use this as a guide to diagnosing/fixing the problem later on this evening, if I can't find a solution before then.
I've ran the stock with goodies rom with the volume skip mod before with no problems. I ran it for a couple of days and had absolutely no problems skipping tracks while jogging, very convenient. Maybe a bad download? Try to redownload and reflash. I'm S off via panda running TWRP 2.2.1. Good luck.
I had the same exact problem with the same exact Stock with Goodies v1.75 ROM. I tried everything short of a factory reset. Turns out what I did to fix it was do a factory reset with full wipes and reinstall the Rom. I backup'd up all my apps with TB and made sure to clear Google wallet before flashing the Stock with Goodies v1.75 ROM. Works flawlessly now with any music app.
Hope this helps.
Wasn't a bad download - MD5 matched.
I suppose I'll wipe and re-install tonight. I'll post back with results. Hopefully it solves the problem permanently. Not sure what caused it in the first place, though. :/
Thanks for the replies!
Reflashing (Rejuvinated Stock) worked... we'll see if the problem returns.
Edit: Still working fine. And still completely baffled as to why it wasn't working right the first time.

Hey guys, thanks for the help in advance! I have had my tp for 2 weeks now and i love it... i did install a few things like a cab for improving battery life found on ppc geeks website, i also edited the registry to allow me to tether it to my laptop, changed sending text messages so the annoying text sent message doesn't pop up, and finally changed the reply all to just reply when replying to email messages. aside from that i've installed a few apps like google maps, sensorlock, the flip clock (which i removed), fring, tiny twitter, and a weather database editor for the weather thing....
ok now that's all out of the way... somewhere along the way i've lost the ability to change the volume using the hardware buttons. when sitting at the home screen if i press the volume up, the big volume thing opens with the 2 options at the bottom for vibrate and silent, but if i press the volume up or down again, this screen dissapears and does not change the volume. i am still able to change the volume using my finger or the stylus, but this is annoying if i'm on a call or using my bluetooth headset.
i noticed yesterday that if my volume is all the way up and i press down on the volume button, the volume screen goes away like it has been, but highlights the clock, if i press it a few more times it highlights the next thing down (the call log) and again it selects the upcoming calendar events... eventually it minimizes the clock alltogether... this also happens when i press the arrow down.
i'm positive this has something to do with a registry hack or something i've installed, but i have finally got everything setup the way i like it, is there any way this feature can be restored??

Well you know the problem. You have two options. Hard reset or find the specific tweak or App that fiddled with the volume buttons.
Did you install anything like AE Buttons plus or anything else?
no, i haven't installed anything that affects buttons. i did do a hard reset, and installed only the things i knew work. everything was fine so i decided i would try a registry trick to allow me to use my tp as a means to access the internet... it worked fine but then i got a call and attempted to turn down the volume and it didn't work again.
i guess my question is, what/where is this controlled? is it something i can re-install? is there an alternative i can install?

What happened when you tried to turn down the volume. Please be very specific. The small details will matter on this one.
But one guess... You dsisabled the phone skin.
ok, when pressing volume down one time the volume screen comes on (this is the touch flow 3d volume thing) if i press volume down again to decrease the volume, the screen previously mentioned goes away and highlights the first today screen item, in this case it's the clock.
i have done some troubleshooting of my own... it doesn't seem that it's caused by anything i've installed or tweaked... i did a hard reset, and didn't install anything but went straight to the internet sharing app that comes installed on the tp. i tried to connect with usb, it failed and gave an error message (this is to be expected) but now i can't use the volume buttons... i've narrowed it as far as i can. i can do another hard reset, install all my apps and tweaks again and just avoid the internet sharing piece, but i kindof want that to work too. i would be satisfied to just fix the volume button problem and not try the internet sharing again if it's possible
edit: if the phone skin is disabled, how would i go about re-enabling it?
edit2: i did another hard reset, again didn't install anything this time... i decided i wanted to browse the internet, so i opened opera and it gave me a connection error (i'm in roaming) i dismissed the error and at the same time lost the ability to volume up and down............ any ideas?
Just an update in case anyone was following this
the dialer skin and the volume thing are totally seperate, i know this becuase i went into the registry and disabled the dialer skin to show the winmo default... the volume skin/app stayed the same.
i contacted htc support, the guy i spoke with claimed it to be a hardware issue... i refuse to believe that. this is clearly a software issue/bug
when doing a soft reset i can hit the hardware volume keys up and down before everything finishes loading and the default windows volume sliders appear and they work, but whenever the other volume program loads i can't get back to the windows default.
any help is greatly appreciated, i really don't want to replace my phone for something i know isn't a hardware issue
thanks for all the help but... i have figured out the problem... .net framework 3.5 is what's causing the volume "skin" to stop working... this is installed by default (at least on my phone) and is required to run certain apps (also previously installed)... i've notified htc... they said woops and that's about it
i was able to remove it or at least disable it with the tech's help, some apps wont work and i've noticed the weather app works sometimes and other times not at all. so if anyone else in the world is having this issue... get rid of .net framework v3.5
edit:thank you scrosler, for being the only one that even attempted to help me, you pointed me in the right direction!
i am having the same problem. i'll have to try removing the .net framework and see if that fixes my problem.
i should probably first figure out what apps are going to break if the framework is removed....
When i hit the power key to make my found sleep
1 out of 5 times it will nonrespondent. vibrate. screen goes black. vibrates twice. then boots up.
it seems to happen in any app. what could be the problem?
Excuse me if I am mistaken but your English was quiet broken.
You say when you put the phone to sleep/stand by it becomes unresponsive, vibrates twice, then reboots?
Usually this is a force close/kernel issue. (I don't think my wording is right on that).
Are you by chance running a ROM with the music controls on the lock screen?
I remember this happening on a version of super clean with music controls on the lock screen.
I would suggest first updating your ROM to remove the music controls, or a straight ODIN to stock with a wipe of everything and then reflashing the latest and greatest ROM of your choice with a solid kernel. (Anything by jt )
Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy S2 I9100. It was on stock ROM (ICS 4.0.3) until yesterday, then I flashed Slim Bean 3.1. So far everything works mostly as expected on Slim Bean, but there is one major annoyance:
After every reboot (or when I just toggle between Silent and Normal), the volume is maxed on everything (system, ringer, notifications, etc). The volume sliders are all still where they're supposed to be, but the actual volume is loud as hell. The only way to fix it is to drag each volume slider down one notch and then back up one notch - then the volumes are at the proper levels again. I don't mind doing this after every reboot, but after switching the phone from Silent back to Normal? I do that ALOT :-/
Any ideas? I've googled extensively to find the issue, but no luck.
Btw, I also tried Volume+ and Volume Locker apps to see if that helps, but it doesn't (I guess because they keep the sliders from moving, but the sliders aren't moving anyway, the volume just increases "behind the scenes").

Try flashing some other kernel like siyah kernel

Thanks, I'll try that. Just to recap, you flash a kernel AFTER flashing a ROM, right? So you don't lose any data or anything, you just clear the cache and then install the zip from sdcard (within CWM)? Also, do you clear the Dalvik cache when installing a kernel?
I flashed the latest Siyah Kernel successfully - it made no change to the weird volume behaviour, however :/
For reference, 2 screenshots:
UPDATE: Another thought just hit me - that maybe the DSPManager is amplifying the notification sound intermittently. I checked though, and can't find anything wrong there either.
Hi Guys,
My phone's power button started behaving strangely yesterday (don't know what triggered it, didn't install any app or change setting which could cause it).
It works as EXPECTED:
1) To Turn on the phone.
2) To Turn on the Screen from Sleep Mode.
3) To reset/shutdown when pressing together with Volume Up Key.
It works Weird:
1) When Screen Is Already "On" and I want to turn the screen off by pressing it. It works as Volume UP Key :S
This started happening yesterday and as It was working fine in all other cases except the one I mentioned, I thought it would be a settings/software issue. I reset my phone with Sony Update Service but nothing changed.
Edit: I have latest stock firmware which happens to be 6.1.1.B.1.75
Did anybody have same issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rizwan

Never-mind. I RESET to Factory settings from within the phone this time and everything seems to be working fine now :good:
Thanks!
I've searched this problem quite a bit, finding results involving not only the lock button, but also the home button, which doesn't apply to me.
For some reason, whenever i try to run the "overview of app storage use" option on Titanium Backup, the app auto-quits after hanging for a few seconds, my SetCPU profiles are thrown off (they temporarily deactivate), my lock button stops working (unless i Odin back to stock and recover), and other problems. Any ideas on what to do to fix it? I know the button itself is fine, because it works fine if i Odin back to stock.
