Yes, I constantly accidentally hit the volume buttons. Is there an app that can lock them, so they only work after I enable them in the app?
Really? My favorite thing about the phone is that the volume buttons work when the phone sleeps. That drives me insane about every other phone/mp3 player I've used.... having to dig the phone out of my pocket and wake it up just to adjust the volume.
How are you accidentally hitting the volume buttons? Just curious.
One thing I've been wanting to request is a way to make a long-press of the volume buttons be forward/back a track. That'd rule.

When I go from portrait to landscape, by the time I'm done, I see the volume change window on the screen. I don't even know if I hit the + or the -.

I've searched around and haven't had much luck. I use vibraswitch mapped to my PTT button to switch between vibrate and sound, but sometimes (especially when I'm on the phone and use it), the phone will volume will turn off (speaker w/ x, not on and not vibrate) instead of either switching the volume on or to vibrate. I've missed some calls because of this.
Somebody in a post here said that if you hold down the button u mapped it to for a second it will do this, but this doesn't seem to be the case. If this has been answered before I'm sorry, hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction!

The only thing about this program is that the phone doesn't vibrate when you toggle between the settings. I change the volume in my pocket a lot so I rely on the vibrates to let me know when I switch.
Hello guys, I'm experiencing a minor issue with my ROM. Sometimes when I reboot, if i tap the volume key on the side after rebooting, the keypad lights will turn on indicating i did tap it, however, the system volume and Ring volume display would not appear on the screen. And after that the phone goes super slow. I tried to hard-reset it once but it's occurring again.
I do know there is a way to adjust Ring volume without that screen, but was wondering is there another way to adjust the System volume without tapping the side buttons?
Thanks
Sounds strange. Which ROM are you using?
You can adjust the volume by tapping on the volume icon in the taskbar.
using dutty V3.6
thanks let me try that now..
thanks i got it.. seems like tapping that works for now, if i got further problem i'll post again
thanks again the_scotsman
Hey
My phones volume button is broken.
I can lower the volume but i can not increase it.
So it is very anying when i accidentally lower the volume and then need to go into the menus to put it back up.
I dont like to have apps or shortcuts to easier access those menues etc.
I heard somewhere that i should be able to use the buttons and drag the volume up with my finger.
Tho i cant figure out how.
Anyone?
Hi, I am not sure if this is possible but better to ask anyway.
Sometimes I like to have a radio app playing and I need to MUTE it, but the screen is off and locked and I don't want to fumble with the S4 Active's sticky volume button (is yours 'sticky'? my volume rocker loves to zoom up and down with a slight push),
just mute/unmute without hitting menu/enter code/swipe or some other combination of keys.
I thought maybe it could be done through that "headphone jack button" accessory but that is not really what I am looking for.
Something akin to the gesture of flipping the phone face down to stop the ringing. or swiping your hand over the screen to mute/pause, but that only works on certain apps and when the screen is on. I want a function like this with the screen OFF.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried Tasker? Are you familiar with it at all? If you want, I could try to create something for you. What is the app so I can test to see if it works?

I am answering my own question with this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2492565
Doesn't work with everything but it is a great start!
Thanks :good:
Hello.
I've had this problem for a while now but can't fix it.
Basically my volume buttons can change the volume of my phone even though the screen is off and "locked" (just lockscreen).
I can't imagine this is meant to be like this? It means my phone goes to full silent all the time when it's just in my pocket.
I think the problem came with lollipop because this introduced volume change from vibrate to silent mode by pressing the volume down button.. apparently in my pocket only the volume down button is pushed - and why I never noticed it on kitkat.
Thanks

I dont think there is any fix man, you could try searching for a Xposed module

So you have this 'problem' as well? It's not a bug on only my phone?

its not a bug just the option that you can control the volume even if the phone is locked
You should not wear those skinny jeans!
Never ever had this kind of problem since the Zs` volume buttons are quite unlikely to be pressed unintentionally.

Why would you ever want to control the volume if your phone is locked? It only allows for unwanted volume change

I don't have skinny jeans at all and it happens around 5x per day if I'm walking a lot.

For example if you are listening to music and you dont want to pull the phone out of your pocket.
Maybe there is something with the vol button sensitivity

Ok sure but that's media volume not ringer volume. They are separate.
Anyway I wrote a tasker script to force lock my volume when screen is on but locked. And it disables this force lock when screen is unlocked. Tasker to the rescue once again

what the vol buttons depend on is what you are currently using for example: If you are using the Music app then the control the media vol and if you dont use anything then they control the ringer vol but nevertheless I am glad you found a solution

Exactly.
So it should be: when using music, allow volume buttons. If no music: lock buttons.
