My mom has Andorid LG phone with the volume buttons on the back. I'm not sure if those buttons are causing problems but 90% of the time she has issues with volume being turned all the way down. That causes a problem because those moments nobody cann call her as she does not hear the ring. I wonder if there is any hack or App to lock the volume at max level and disable physical buttons (and screen slider if possible).
Ahy ideas ?

Hello everyone,
I am really annoyed with this feature that causes change in ringtone notification sound if you happen to hit VOL UP and DOWN keys on idle screen (when on unlocked screen). I happen to hit these keys quite often and my ringer volume is often too low and I wonder why didn't I hear my phone ring?
In my opinion, if I need to lower down the ringer volume (or increase it) I'd do it from settings menu under voice call management.
Is there a way to disable this "shortcut" to increase decrease ringer volume when on idle screen, or doing anything while screen is unlocked?
thanks...
Bump.... so is this impossible to achieve guys?
I dont think ive ever heard anyone complaining about it. I suppose you can use something like settings profile to keep it constant, but as far as remapping the volume keys I havent seen anything yet
Hey Folks,
I'm not able to adjust my volume or long press the up volume button to skip songs when I have the screen locked. Is this the way it is or is it just me?
The apps in question are Google Music Beta & Doggcatcher. I know for a fact that Music Beta allows for song skipping (not too important in doggcatcher). I just "upgraded" from an N1 running CM7 so that may be it and I may be spoiled. I thought that, at the very least, I'd be able to adjust the volume while the phone's in my pocket.
My X2 is the same way. I have to turn the screen on to adjust the volume. I hope it's a software issue that can be fixed.
I just found an acceptable work around. I installed Widget Locker and enabled any hardware button to wake the device. The screen wakes (but doesn't unlock) and the volume can be adjusted by just pushing the rocker.
Coming from an HTC phone, I had the option to "Use incoming call volume for notifications". It was an easy way for me to turn up and down all volume using the side volume rockers. I don't see this option for the note. I was in a meeting yesterday and thought my phone volume was turned off, but the notifications kept going off. It'd be so much easier if i could use the volume rocker to turn down the sound as opposed to going into the settings and manually doing it every time I want to change the volume. Any tips?
I use widgetlocker and have a volume slider on my lock screen, I always just slide it to vibrate
Hello,
S3 is my first smartphone ever, so please be patient
Since I'm a student, I put my phone on mute during the classes (through the notification bar).
However, it happened to me twice now that accidental touch on volume up hard key took me out of mute. This is of course undesirable... Is there a way to disable this function of volume-up key?
I want to remain muted until I cancel it on notification bar.
Thanks!
bump... can anyone help?
Sad....it remains a big drawback of the android phones that we cant make different profiles for volume like Nokia phones......
I think you can only do this by finding a tone with no sound and setting it for all the alerts manally from sound setting before entering your class room
anyhow this is a good question and hope some devs can desable vol- button for enabling full vol. back
Thanks...
but modifying it manually at the beginning of each class, then again at the end, is not very comfortable.
Perhaps it can be fixed with a mod? something like that:
- clicking volume up if phone is not muted increases the volume, as usual.
- clicking volume up if phone is muted doesn't do anything.
CM has this feature where you can use the volume rocker to skip tracks when the screen is off. I really dislike the feature so I have disabled it via settings. But now a volume rocker longpress does absolutely nothing when the screen is off. I would expect the volume to increase/decrease gradually when the volume rocker is long pressed. Whats the point of disabling one functionality without re-enabling the other!!
Anybody know the fix to this? Not sure if this problem is just with me, or with everyone on CM.
Thanks
