hi guys,
i love the samsung galaxy s2 phone, but i have a question.
Whilst using the phone, i end up accidently pressing the volume button and this can sometimes mean i put the "Notification" or "Ringer" volume really down.
I only want to be able to control such options by actually going into the Settings menu, so is there a way to disable this button or somehow change it's functionality?
BUMP!
Surely someone must have the answer?

I guess so nyssa, but many also still have their mobiles, watching this forum and are still replying to many questions on this forum.
Hey there. Have you even tried searching in the market? The very first app for "volume" query can do just that

thanks aj rockwell. That app i believe only helps you adjust settings with volume. I actually want to Remap buttons, so that the volume button cannot adjust sounds other than "IN-CALL volume"
this is so annoying, I was going to open a thread with the some issue. Is any chanse,mod which can switch a default option when we press volume from ringer volume to media volume. many times by incident I turn ringer volume down and I dont hear a ringer.
@ x7 - Halleluyah! At last i find someone who has exactly the issue as myself.
Guys, all i want is some app that can disable the volume button from controlling the MEDIA's/NOTIFICATION's volume. The only way i want to control these is by actually going to SETTINGS>SOUND ...surely there must be an app that can REMAP the Volume key functions?
I agree, why Samsung did this think That you can change volume ringer by pressing a volumes button? This is so silly

the only thing we can do x7 is hope that someone on here will know a fix for this volume issue.
I took a look in android market but I havent found anythink
I checked too, but could not find anything. The only one i have seen whilst searching on google, is Button Remapper. But there is no information to say that this app is safe for the SGS2.
Anyone? Help!
x7nofate mate, pls ignore the replies. I feel like such a twat now . It looks like AJ.Rockwell was right...i never properly tried the recommended app and was too quick to ignore it's features.
Download "Volume Control +" from android market and install it.
Once installed, set the volume for all the media/ring/notifications. Then simply goto the options where it allows you to lock each individual type of tone. So for example if you don't want to decrease your ringtone volume by accident, then select that.
Save your settings and you should have a little lock icon in your status bar.
Now when you put your volume for your ringtone down, it looks like its gone down again, right???? WRONG! Since Volume Control+ has locked it down, VC+ automatically forces it back to the "locked" settings. Genius!
Let me know how you get on mate!
PS: If you need any help or just wanna chat android, then PM me ur email and i'll add you to msn/yahoo/skype or whatever you use.
I installed a "Volume Control +" ages ago and I locked in settings but I can put my volume ringtone down anyway so I thought that it doesn't work but I was wrong. It works, thank you very much
Bump! I searched XDA on Google for this exact thread, my problem too. My question is, with that apps reccommendation (thanks for that), does it still bring up the volume OSD? That's my major annoyance, and something that happens to people whenever I pass my phone over to them.

I changed my phone recently, I'm on 4.2.2 and volume control+ doesn't work. Does anyone know other apk what does exactly the some job like volume control+?

Hello!
I got my S3 a mount ago and I've noticed that my volume rocker is looking kind of pressed down anytime so it's not parallel with the screen, even though I've been gentle to it.
Is it just me and my OCD, or this might actually happen/that's the way it looks? I'm not having problems like a stuck button, just the way it looks. I really want to keep my phone in a good as possible state, including little things.
Thanks!
I does kinda happen. Mine has done the same. Most people for example while playing music will put the volume up one at a time so its not too loud, where as when putting the volume down people generally hold the volume key until the volume drops.
Also happens when flashing new roms through Odin and the phone needs to be put into download mode which of course is Holding power button, Home button And volume down key for 10 seconds or more sometimes, which can also cause the same effect.
Hope this helps.
Ive been messing around with this for a few days now with no luck.
My was acting sluggish a few days back so i restarted it. Well low and behold Im getting the "Starting RSD protocol support" message on top of the dual core logo now.
I've searched around, and have have tried all i can think of. I have SBFed the phone multiple times, using the tutorial here, with no luck.
After SBFing the phone it just returns to the same state.
The battery IS fully charged, so we can rule that out. Maybe, just maybe, the volume toggle is stuck but it clicks up and down with no issues.
Anyone have any ideas? Ive been pulling my hair out on this one. Phone is on Verizon prepaid so its grandfathered in at 95/month UNLIMITED data , and they dont seem to willing to let me switch back to my Droid X or anything else for that matter.
Thanks in advance for anyone with ANY ideas or suggestions.
edit as a side note i have been rooted for 6 months no issue/and am on Eclipse. I had not changed any settings in a few months and had not installed any apps in a few week. This was pretty out of the blue.
My first thought (before I read you had this thought also) was that your volume up button might be stuck. Or the trigger inside anyway. If thats the case, you will probably have to find a way to get that button off but I have no idea if thats possible without breaking your phone. Other than that, I dont know what else could cause it. Especially if you SBF and it still does it.
Try this to see if you have a faulty volume button. Turn the phone off and turn it back on while holding the volume DOWN button. I forget what the first option is but it will say something at the top. first of all, if your volume button is stuck in the up position, it might start whatever the first option is. If not, press the volume down button until you get to Android Recovery. Then press up. If you do this, I'm guessing your volume up button is working as it should. Pressing up will start the recovery. When you see the triangle image, press volume up and volume down at the same time. try wiping cache and data and restart and see if that does anything.

Yeah, I should have included that, it wont go into recovery by pressing the down button while turning on. Guess it might be the actual switch. Anyone have any ideas on that?
edit And suprise if you hold the up button while turning on you get the RSD support msg! (if its working properly) Its gotta be something hardware at this point. i hope not...
Yeah, if you hold Up while powering on, it will start RSD automatically. If you hold down, it gives you other options to scroll through. It could very well be hardware related if that isnt working. Unless someone else has anything else to say about it.
It happened out of the blue, my phone's volume suddenly went full. Tried to lower the volume with the Lower vol. button, it doesn't change anything! So with natural instinct I pressed the Increase vol. button instead, and it went down to muted! After I got home, I tried turning off the phone-- but that was stupid. My phone now stuck in the Factory menu, and I can't make any choices there. I checked the volume buttons physically, but nothing is wrong with it.. I'm using Android 2.3.6, and also, there was this time before I left where my hands were wet and I pressed the volume buttons, but I don't think that's the case, because the volume buttons almost has no gap to the insider. My friend said that this is a problem with the program, is there really a problem like this? If there is, then I would like to know how to Hard-reset my phone without going to the factory mode, without booting, just directly from a PC. Thank you!
Apologies if this should be posted elsewhere, but while we have a way to get rid of the annoying popup that shows up when we turn up the volume, it always resets the volume below the red line when you stop playing music.
The next time I want to play something, I have to turn the volume back up. It's annoying.
(I have searched, but haven't seemed to find anything helpful.)
Does anyone know how to disable this volume limiting? Thanks.
