Screen wake with headphones? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Does anyone know how to prevent the screen wake that happens when inserting headphones? I've looked everywhere i can think of and have come up empty. I checked the build.prop and the keylayout..kl files and i can't find it. Maybe i just missed it? I hate that the screen turns on.

There's gotta be a way

Ringer/notification volume changing on its own?

OK I have been having issues with my ringer and notification volume.
I can have it set to full volume and I miss calls or messages because the volume changes to the lowest setting or silent.
Any ideas on why this would happen?
A lot of people are having this issue, and, it is listed in the issue thread. The only 2 things we have come up with is that it is a software problem, or people are accidently pushing the rockers, and the phone is acting as if it is awake registering the action.

Hard to push buttons when it is sitting on the table...
I am going with software. I am also trying turning off the special features like pocket mode and quiet on pickup to see if that helps.
i haven't had this problem yet, but i DO have the problem of system volume continuously making itself 100% lol..thankfully though i don't use anything that uses system volume, so nothing is blaring loud and scaring the crap outta me.

Well, you didn't specify it wasn't in your pocket or what not.
Turning off those features might help. Isn't there a setting that sets the volumes to be what they were on previous use? For example if you pick up the phone and the volume goes down, maybe it sticks like that? Doesn't explain it going to 100% though.
Ok here is my biggest issue that I have found. I use alarmdroid to wake me up and for other routine alarms. I have it connected to beautiful Widgets so when I press the time it opens alarmdroid. When I go in to the app, then exit, it changes my alarm volume to zero. I also use the app volume locker so I know when it is changing settings on me. I have successfully recreated this problem numerous times. Anyone else with this combination of apps experience this? How about with just alarmdroid?

I use plain old Sense clock and alarm.
Sense alarm rocks. It's easy, and wakes me up every time with its annoying ass beeping. I hate alarm clocks. I hate waking up, period.

I 100% believe that I accidentally hit the volume rocker and so I downloaded volume locker and I have not had any volume issues since!!
I would use sense alarm, but I usually run sensless ROMs. So I like to keep things similar. Anyone else use alarmdroid? Anyone care to try it and see if they can duplicate the problem?

It happened to me a couple times and then one time I noticed that the way I was holding the phone when I woke it up or turned it "off" was applying pressure to the volume rocker and changing the volume. It happened so quick I barely noticed it, just saw a blip at the top of the screen once and figured out what it was.
I think changing those settings helped. I will keep checking on it though.

Adjusting call volume problem

Hi guys,
anyone else having problems with adjusting the call volume (while in a call) ?
The screen obviously turns black while in a call, and then, the volume buttons don't work for me...
I have to move the phone from my ear, screen turns on, adjust volume.
This drives me nuts !
Any help is much appreciated.
Yep just noticed this today when I was on a call. Seems strange that you can't do that but you can change the volume of music when the screen is locked?
same thing here. hope they fix it

Correct, it does work for music, I have noticed that as well...
What's up with that ?! Isn't it like the very first thing you should check before releasing a phone to the market ?? Even if it's software related (and it is, in this case) at least the Vendors should test this.
And, I know what I am talking about
I guess that with all the technology, it is forgotten, that above all, well... this is a PHONE.
Hope the fix it.
Ive also noticed that you cant adjust the volume when the screen is locked.
AND every call i make/receive the volume is always at the max and extremely loud. So i have to right away turn it down. That happen for anyone else?

Volume Quirk

hi, ive got a weird quirk im not sure what triggers this but it happens randomly it seems, just wondering if anyones gotten anything similar happening and if anyones found a fix besides rebooting.
So, ive got an amaze (of course) on wind mobile, stock non rooted/etc yet.
the issue is ill go to work listening to mp3's, get to work unplug headphones and audio stops playing as normal when that happens, ill sit down to work and get a txt or a call on the phone and it rings as normal, so thinking ill be nice to co workers i go to turn down the volume of the ringer, but instead of it turning down the ringer volume as normal when no mp3's are playing, it turns down the media volume, and i cant see how to get it back to default mode where it wants to allow me to change the ringer volume with the rocker volume button on the phone with out rebooting or going into the audio settings and changing it there.
its a pretty minor thing i know but its just enough to be annoying.
what happens when you go to the phone/dialpad? just copied what you did and mine switches as normal.
your phone should be switching to the correct volume slider depending on what you have open/running. I've never run across a switch that disables that...
If all else fails put a shortcut to audio settings on your home screen
Ive rebooted now so its fixed, ill try that after my walk home, started thinking maybe winamp isnt shutting down cleanly or something.
the odd thing is it doesn't happen all the time outa the 10 times a week i use headphones and change volume after it it only happens maybe 3-4 times a week..
hrm short cuts an idea if it keeps happening, tho im probably gonna unlock and flash this soon so maybe that wont happen anymore.

I'm not sure if it's at all related, but I have a different volume quirk. Occasionally, when I plug my phone in to charge it, the ringer volume drops down to minimum. Not to silent or vibrate, just to the lowest setting where it actually still rings. It's probably unrelated, but it could be some glitch in the volume control somewhere.

is there a way to change to lock screen sound?

i know in settings you can turn on a 'click' sound when the phone screen sleeps or locks or unlocks, but its a click camera-type sound. is there a way i can change the sound it makes? maybe someone knows the path to the sound file i can just copy another file over it, rename it the same? perhaps that would work?
or any way to do it.
thanks

[Q] How to mute notification sound when connecting charger (23.0.1.A.0.167)?

As the title says, I want to turn off the notification sound when connecting a charger or docking the phone. The sound hasn't been there before for me and it appeared after I upgraded to 4.4.4.
How do I turn it off?
The notification sound is utterly useless for me and it wakes up my wife when I place my phone in the dock late at night on my nightstand. Some idiot at Sony probably thought a notification sound would be a great idea
Same issue here.
It was a retarded change without adding the option to turn it off.
If anyone has an idea it would be much appreciated.
Take a look in this folder, maybe you will find something interesting.

mr.loverlover: Thanks, I already knew where that sound file can be found. But since I don't have root, there's not much I can do about it.
Sry for the late reply.
