I was thinking how useful it would be to simply flick the volume rocker to dim the screen indoor and then as soon as you go outdoor and need a brighter screen whilst in an app, to just simply click the volume button!
Does this make sense and does anyone know if its possible?
Thanks
I don't know if it is possible but if it is i htink you will loodse the functionality to cange the volume. right now i prefer to change the volume
Yea I understand your point, however I find myself requiring to change brightness more than I do volume so personally it would be more useful!
Is the automatic light-sensing brightness feature not good enough for you?
It works ok but uses more battery than being able to turn brightness right down while inside and then to what you need when your outside, i like control of it basically haha!
So there is no way you can configure your buttons to do what you want them to do?

Hi peepz, did u find a way to hack the volume level, cuz it is too high for me when listening to mp3 even on the lowest volume with headphones
It would be nice to use all the bars, not to use it with steps of 4-5..
Use your finger or stylus you can adjust the volume slider 1 notch at a time. The buttons cause larger increments.
Is anyone aware of a way to change the system volume increments when using the up/down keys on the phone or E100 remote?
The volume can be adjusted more finely with the touch screen, but this means taking the phone out and fiddling around a bit. Some are finding the lowest volume you can get with hardware buttons a tad too loud with noise canceling phones that sit in the ear canal.
Thanks
Would be VERY usefull....
I too am wondering that. I looked in the tweaks section and searched around but no concrete answer for it.
This would actually be very usefull!!!
Don't sweat it Guys.
Both default volume bubble and HTC Volume Control controls the volume in following increments: Vibrate>Silent>20>40>60>80>100. There's no other way to fine tune it.
Maybe the HTC Volume Control UI is a bit misleading, but if you tap with the stylus, you'll see and hear that every procent has 3 corresponding lines.
If you tap it, you can get it in 1 line increments, this is not a misleading UI, it adjusts the volume in 1 step increments. You may not be able to notice it with the phones speaker but you sure can with earphones.

Exactly.
If You listen to music 3bars is often too loud but 1 or 2 is perfect. So a solution for this would be very helpfull.

Also looking for a solution to this problem...
I have a touch pro2 and as you describe here the system volume can be changed 1 bar at a time with finger.
But it can also be changed 1 bar at a time pressing the volume buttons (or volume buttons on headset) IF the screen is turned OFF. If the screen is ON the buttons will move it 3 bars.
If the phone is locked then it does not matter if the screen is OFF, it will still move it 3 bars at a time. So right now I never use the lock on the phone as I need the 1 bar step size when listening to music with my headset.
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 -.
Settings are sprinkled throughout your Windows Phone, you might want to
customize a few basic ones as you start using your phone. These setLings
include turning the ringer on or off, setting display brightness, and setting up
your Region and Language settings.
ADjUSTING THE RINGER
Some devices have physical ring/silent switches. but on Windows Phone you
simply use the volume buttons to control the ringer. It might not be as simple
as a physical switch, but after you learn the process, it is quick and easy.
To adjust the ringer, simply follow these steps:
Turn on the display by tapping the Power butLon. You do not need to
unlock your Windows Phone device.
Press the volume buttons up or down. A ringer control panel slides
down from the top.
Tap the Ring icon on the right side to switch to Vibrate mode, or tap the
Vibrate icon to switch to Ringer modc.
To adjust the ringer volume, simply press repeatedly or hold up or down
the Volume button to adjust the volume level of the ringer.
Although this method is the quickest way to toggle between the ringer or
vibration, you can also simply press the volume down button and hold it as
the left side status goes down through the volume levels and finally ends in
Vibration mode.
ADJUSTING THE BRI(;HTNESS
Windows PFione 7 devices use various display tcchnologicr, including
AMOLED (active matrix organic light emitting diode), Super AMOLED, LCD
(liq uid crystal display), and SLCD (Super LC D). Therefore, you may find the
need to adjust the brightness setting for low light conditions or as a means to
manage your battery life.
To manage your brightness settings. follow these steps:
Turn on and unlock you Windows Phone.

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?
