So I accidentally got some water on my HTC One M7 and the Volume Up button went haywire and activates randomly. I disabled it by commenting out the lines of code in the files in system/usr/keylayout. Now I am looking for a workaround when I want to increase the volume. Obviously, there are the no-brainers like a widget or something, but I was wondering if anyone has any smarter ideas. I'm thinking of something like making double-tap volume down = volume up. Is that even possible? I have a Pressi knock-off but unfortunately, it never worked. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Hallo,
everytime one adjusts the volume of the HD2 with the devices hardware buttons, the step is very high.
I have been searching the forum, but I didn't find any solution, how to decrease the stepwidth - only have seen, that some other people have the same issue (but no solution).
Is there any possibility to manipulate the stepwitdh????
I have checked the registry and I am wondering if in one of the following reg.keys the stepwidth might be coded:
HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay
=> I guess this is the HTC Volume control screen, which appears when you press the hardware buttons. But I have no clue if one of the entries defines the stepwitdh.
The other possibility I see here:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume
I would like to have some feedback, before trying to mess in the registry.

I do remember there being a fix for this, as far as I can remember it was an image that you drop and dragged into your windows folder and that some how fixes it.
I do think it's quite annoying, it's also really laggy when I hold down my volume key as opposed to tap it per each jump in volume level.
Anyway I don't know where it is but hopefully someone can post it cause I'm after it aswell
maybe you already know, but you can adjust the slider onscreen with your finger and achieve smaller steps of adjustment than can be achieved using the hardware buttons.....
@rumpleforeskin
I know that via touchscreen the volume can be adjusted finer. The issue is...
well try this, while you have your mobile in the beltpocket, listening to music.
I just want to adjust the volume in this situation with the hardwarekeys.

I don't understand why there isn't a fix for this, volumex is a commercial program that does it. But the normal volume control app is perfect, only the steps are indeed way to big...
yeah, i have the same problem i usually listen to max -1 or -2 bars (trance music) and everytime i have to resort to using fingers to slide the volume to max-1/-2. is there a way to adjust each button press = 1 bar?
Anyone know a registry fix for this?
try this, maybe it'll help
Ok here's the thing. My phone suddenly stars acting really weird after a year of problem free use. the volume rocker started to go bonkers, almost like the downward rocker is always on. rebooting is really difficult as flashing mode turns on. The only way to turn it on is to hold the home button at the same time as the power button to turn it on.
once inside the os, the volume rocker is permanently downwards, so ringer is always at vibrate, and working with the phone is impossible.
i tried restarting quite a few times, restored original firmware and installed latest energy gtx rom, all to no avail.
i think there is a problem with the circuitry or something which might be causing this. any thoughts on how to fix this? I have had this since last november with a contract on tmobile UK. any ideas about where to get this fixed should this be a hardware problem?
thanks in advance
Yeah looks like a hardware problem with the rocker seemingly pressing the downward button all the time 24/7.
See if you can play around with it to loosen the rocker button.
Otherwise it's an open the unit to fix it which will void warranties, etc.
thanks for the reply. i'll take this to tmobile. lets hope they solve the problem.
I'm not a developer and I have no intention of ever doing it, knowing whether it is possible or anything else. I was just thinking and wondering.
Since it was possible to make the hardware Camera hack.
Would it be possible to change the volume settings. For example, when the phone is locked that just pressing the up and down volume keys once only change the volume rather than holding them.
When the volume buttons would be held for more than 1-2 seconds it would possible change songs or something else, ect.
Wondering if this is possibe or not as to me, it would seem like a good idea.
Thoughts?
when screen is on, but lock screen still on, volume should work if a media player is going, but otherwise, the volume buttons shouldn't control ringer volume unless you unlock it first. I'm finding in my pocket or when I check time, volume is constantly changed to volume all the way down or all the way up. is there any way to hack a change in this behavior???
thanks ya'll
This is also happening to me a lot. I always keep my phone on vibrate while working. Come to find out my ringer is on full blast during a meeting after checking the time is no fun
noticed this also. bump bump
That would be great it sucks that it changes

This is one of the few things I hate about this phone.
Need mod so Volume Down does turn volume down or turn on vibrate
I hear your pain. Let's keep this thread going or make a new one for a dev to take it on.
On my OG, I used the Button Mapper app to change the Volume Down button to duplicate the Power button. Too bad it only works on Gingerbread.
Benefits of this mod being two fold:
1) To wake the device just press Volume Down. Much easier than top button.
2) When fumbling with the phone, you could not inadvertently turn the volume down and/or set it to Vibrate.
Let's hear some chatter guys.
I'll take anything to quit the pocket volume changing
Wipywd: See the original article for the Evo 4G.

This was the best thing since sliced bread. I saw some early traffic when the Evo LTE came out with guys trying to make a setting like this. It evolved into forward and backward for audio players. Then there was this one for Viper's ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688556
Recommendation: Change the title of the thread to:
"Dev needed to mod Volume Down button to Power function".
Let's see if we can get more interest and a dev to help us out.

Not sure if a dev with this device has looked into framework-res.apk that's most likely where this modification should take place. Then again system>usr> keylayouts etc, could be the issue. Is the issue on stock? Or on all roms?

I think you should start a new thread to change the functionality of it, as that's probably more complex than just stopping the volume buttons while the screen is locked. the main problem is volume changed without you meaning to

@wlpywd: Exactly. If you distill your issue down to the basics, I think we are asking almost the same thing. Let's figure this out for a dev to code. We have Sinistertensai's attention. Let's PM to work out the spec and post together.
Whatcha think wlpywd?
like I said, I'm all for ANYTHING that will solve this without needing to flash a whole new rom.
I can't really contribute much to any development of any kind, other than wish-listing, as my Android programming skills are just barely in the realm of existing, but I'll do whatever I can!
I recently noticed my volume up button does not click, however my volume down button does click. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm thinking about taking the phone apart to check whats up. I did attempt to disassemble the phone previously but I am positive I placed everything back in place and the volume buttons worked fine afterwards. From what I know, I did not drop my phone, have the phone stuck somewhere, etc,etc.
