The case I have for my Nexus works great for a cheaper holster style case with one exception, my phone fits in nice and snug but presses on the volume rocker. When this happens it changes the ringer volume and beeps. I am not using a screen lock so this is very frustrating. My question is this, is there a way to disable the volume rocker after setting the volume or any software to do this? I have searched but not had much luck finding anything.
Thanks

There are several volume locker apps on the Play Store. Basically they make you confirm any volume change or they reset it back to where it was.

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 -.
Anyone figure out a way to get the notifications volume louder? I have yet to be able to find one. I tried louder volume hack but it didnt seem to work for me.
I second this.

Mine seemed fairly loud once I turned the "Alarm volume" all the way up and told it not to use the increasing volume option.
i dont see alarm volume. either way the ear piece volume is low as is the speakerphone volume... would be nice to have a hack to increase it. if this fixes the alerts that would hold me over till a hack hits for this.
where is the increasing volume option.

It's the volume check box in the alarm options.
first day I used droid x as an alarm i was late for work because the sound was so low
Unchecking "use increasing volume" made it better
I suggest buying one of those cheap Ipod/Iphone speaker setups they sell at walmart for like $9 and just hook up to the audio jack if you're gonna use it as an alarm
Bump because I wanna know if it can be increased

Im not seeing the increasing volume option, i see where to turn the volume up at but no increasing volume.

Ok i found the increasing volume setting. Go to your alarm clock,hit add alarm and the the increasing volume setting is just past halfway

I'd like to see a increase in the volume of the earpiece. It's a bit difficult at times to hear some people talk on phones that have microphones that are a bit on the low side.

You have to click on the alarm that your trying to activate and its the second to last click-able option before "Done" & "Revert".
I'd love to see a volume hack. When music or ringtones are playing, I think the volume level is satisfactory but sometimes there are certain apps and movies that have lower than normal sound levels and it would be nice to temporarily boost the speaker. Maybe a speaker mod is in order, here
Is there a hearing impaired option in the phone settings? Some android phones have that and it increases volume. Another method is for someone to mod the kernel to accomplish this (which has been done on other phones like the EVO)
I know its not a hack, but the app Quick Settings allows you to control all of the volume settings individually. Its really nice.
Motorola has finally acknowledged this problem and has stated that a fix will be included in a future software update (probably Froyo)...
Go to settings go to sound and display go to media audi effects phone speaker make sure enable audio effects go to equalizer to desired setting
not a fix but seems to help
For alarm volume.
While in the first menu of the alarm screen press the "Menu" button. Then select the "setting" button. Alarm volume is the second option down.
Hi guys. I am new to this forum and new to android. I have a nexus one that my friend rooted for me.......he also put cyanogen 6.0 on it. I love the phone but I am having one really annoying problem. I like to use the volume rocker to skip songs and on the nexus one I cant do that.
Does anyone know if its possible to long press the volume rocker to skip songs?
If so, can you please show me how.
thank you
well. you actually can do that. just lock your screen and press(and hold) the volume rocker. it'll skip the song.
Yeah thats right...the phone has to be locked for it to work. Does anyone know how I can port this feature to another ROM???? any help would be great.
Cannot wake phone while on speakerphone if "power button to end call" enabled
Please star this issue:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39869
This is a regression in 4.2 and is extremely frustrating as I love the "power button to end call" option but it renders the phone useless on speakerphone.
They should allow for the volume rockers to wake the phone on phones without physical home buttons.
I had the same issue with my one x, I'm not sure it's even an issue, more a consequence of using that feature. The volume rocker has got to control volume in a call so we can't really use it to wake it up. I agree it's really annoying but just change back.

It's quite easy to throw in a "screen off" clause to the code to first wake the device if the screen is off and then control the volume.

There's been a response to this problem:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/mobile/ZlDsNF3gdHs/6_kfdv1w91cJ
The workaround is to wake the phone through connecting it to a charger.
I never noticed this problem on the S2 but it's bang in my face on the Nexus 4.
I wonder if there is a third party app that will keep the phone awake during a call?
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

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.
