Hi everyone.
In my last two phones, using a "selfie shutter" (A remote button as seen in the link) worked fine for triggering my phone to take a snapshot with the camera app.
I did have to move the camera Icon on my old phone so the remote bluetooth button triggered itm, but after that it worked fine.
However with my LG V30, all this remote button does, is trigger the volume button and rise the volume with repeated pressings. it will not open the camera app.
Any ideas on this? I heard that I could "re-ma" the volume button or something but I've never done it before.
Thanks!
See the selfie shutter button in question below

Figured it out!
The item on the TOP LEFT of my android device desktop is always the first triggered.
I simple moved my camera icon there, gave the bluetooth device "Unlock" permissions, and now I am all good. Thanks

No way to delete posts on XDA, but you can always edit them -- which is nice. One forum I was in had a 24 hour time limit to edit posts, so stupid stuff stayed forever.

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....
Hi,
I'm fairly new here but I have done a reasonable amount of searching (imo) and have yet to find a result to effectively change songs while listening to music without having to take phone out of pocket (bluetooth devices, and shake2playnext excluded).
I found an app called 'Next Song' which interprets double-presses on the volume - this would be nice, only I haven't been able to make it work successfully (next song popup notification appears but track does not change)
At one point, I used button remapper to remap my camera button to media_next. (was using camera360 at this point with camera button). After the GB update and recent threads, I have wanted to use the SE camera more. Unfortunately, the camera button does not work in SE's camera button without the focus button (must press focus before camera button, then picture will be taken).
If anyone's got a solution let me know please
(remap longpress/volume, double press volume rockers? or take picture without focus button on SE camera?)
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
Sent from outer space by aliens on tapatalk using SGS2
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
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S 2 (80GB)
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+?
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
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.
http://www.pocketables.com/2010/12/how-to-remap-buttons-on-your-rooted-htc-evo-4g.html
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.
Taz
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?
Sent from my EVO
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!
Despite having no lock screen set, I cannot get the volume button long press to work to load the applications. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The option is enabled, and I've only disabled applications that deal with the voice recognition stuff from LG.
Edit: Go figure... After half an hour of research and trying different things it only works after I posted this question. I have no idea what I did differently.

I assume your talking about the screen off press and hold to launch camera or quick note trick? I've noticed a couple Times it hasn't worked right for me, but it usually does.
Make sure your screen is off, and press vol down and hold for a good couple seconds and it should launch the shortcut. Also make sure the proximity sensor isn't covered. Mine didn't work at all when it was covered, which is the same for the double tap to wake.
Btw, do you know how to change what the button launches? I like the camera but don't care for quick note, and didn't see a way to change it.

I have found they will not launch for me if I am in a Chromecast session, or playing some music with the screen off through the phone's speaker. I am assuming that was my problem since I can't replicate it under any other circumstances.
There is an option in the phone's menu system to turn it on or off, but it does not allow for the shortcut to be changed. We'll have to wait for custom ROMs to give us this feature.

Yeah that does make sense. And I didn't think they were changeable but it's good to know this is confirmed.
