Locking ringtone volume or disabling volume keys..... - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know of a way to lock ringer volume at full volume? I have come to loathe the volume key placement on this phone as I am constantly turning the volume down or off unknowingly and at this point would like a way to just disable the keys entirely. I am constantly missing calls and notifications because of this. Maybe there is a app or a command that can be changed somewhere in like Mixer paths. Any ideas? Thanks all.

Volume Change Beep Tweeks

I know there is a tweek to disable the beeps for in-call volume changes, but is there a tweek to disable the beeps for all volume changes? I do not want to disable all sounds, just the volume change beeps? I have searched through the threads and if I missed it I am sorry...please point me to it if I have.

Hey Rudix,
Check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317784&highlight=in+call+volume+beep
Gavin.
You can also try using Advance Config v2.0 which has two options to change the volume beep. When using cooked ROMs the there is another place in the registry that requires changing.
Hi
I tried advanced config, but had no luck in turning of the volume change beep (the "in call") beeps are off. Any ideas?
I am having this same issue. Any idea to stop the volume change sound? I want the volume buttons to be always silent.
Hi,
When browsing the HD2 forums (I'm gonna get one in a few days, yay!) I found this:
75. Disable Beeps When Altering Volume
When you press the volume key you getting annoying beeps. This tweak allows to change the volume silently without the beeps.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume\Mute Change from 3 to 1.
It worked on my TP and on also on my Wizard (running WM6.1) so I assume it'll work on a Tilt/Kaiser too.

Phone volume will not turn on

I cannot increase the phone volume using the volume control. I can change the setting using the slider, but when I close it it defaults to zero volume. The system volume slider works fine, but the phone slider does not.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how i could fix this?

Notification volume for certain apps too LOUD

I was wondering if anyone had noticed certain apps not respecting the volume set for notifications.
Under settings, Sound settings, Volume, I have my Ringtone volume at maximum, my Alarm volume at maximum, my Media volume at 0, my Notification volume at 50% and "Use incoming call volume for notifications" unchecked.
Most notifications respect the volume level set for Notifications, but some, Facebook and Chrome-to-Phone, do not. They seem to use the Ringtone volume level to play their notifications, which tend to scare me out of my seat when they go off. Anyone else notice this problem?
I'm on Froyo FRF91.
Thanks
Dunno about Facebook (I have that silent) by Chrome2Phone blares out at twice the volume anyone thought possible.
Yes, the same happens to me. I also have my ringtone volume at maximum and my notification volume much lower. It's very irritating.
Here is an issue about it in the projects issue-tracker. Please star it.

Starred. Glad to know that it wasn't just a problem on my phone and that I wasn't missing something obvious.

My phone will not stay on vibrate.

Every time I notice if I bring the volume down to vibrate only with DND enabled...it for some reason increases the volume to low from vibrate on its own. I always have to change it. It happens during random times of the day without me knowing. I even tried going to the sound settings to enable the volume rocker to only affect the media volume just to make sure it's not me. Still didn't work. Can anyone tell me what may be causing this strange issue?
EDIT: I'm sorry but ignore this thread. I found the culprit...the cause was my Bixby Home Routine. I completely forgot all about it and how I set it up to enable sound when I'm home and connected to my wifi.

No sound control popup or actual volume change when using volume buttons

I'm running COS 6.1 A.10 on my unrooted/unlocked European X2 Pro.
When I press the physical volume buttons, I very often don't see the sound control popup. Sometimes it appears and I can change the volume, but in most cases it doesn't appear at all. It doesn't make a difference which app I'm using - YouTube, Prime Video. I don't have an active BT device linked or a headset plugged in either. Quiet Time is turned off, all volumes in Sound & Vibration are turned to medium, the default function for volume buttons is set to Media Volume although nothing changes if it's set to Media Volume.
I used to have MacroDroid to change sound settings based on time/location/events but that's uninstalled. I still have Do Not Disturb which mutes my phone during calendar events. Regardless of any such apps, I should still be able to use the volume buttons to adjust the volume but there are no popups most of the time.
I just restarted my phone and the volume popup is back. I know this happened before but after a while it's gone again without knowing why. Does anyone have an idea what could be the reason and how I can get my volume popup back permanently? Thanks for your help.
