Volume buttons can be pressed with screen off. - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
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

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.

App for locking volume buttons?
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.

[Q] Stock 4.1.2 XXLSZ - Too high volume
Hello, I just updated my 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 today, via Samsung Kies. (Dumbass I am, I'm not rooted anymore. Waiting for a tool, or maybe i missed something ?) All run fine, excepted that in-call volume is really really high, even at minimum. It looks like the 4.0.4 speaker ON. I'm unable to get the phone on my ear without pain. :crying: How can I fix that ? Tried *#*#197328640#*#*, but it doesn't work. Thanks in advance.
Am I the only one to have this problem ? :crying:
nope.. vol is ok.. rooting option is till there by flashing Philz LM5 kernel from stock recovery.. may be then you will have apps to control it.. or may be install the rom again with wipes.
Problem solved. I just tried a call with a friend near me (sound was very high, he was earing himself talking), then I put speaker ON (volume was a bit louder), and when I shutted it off, volume has become ok (unable to ear something if you have not your ear on the phone). Can't explain that... I didn't tried to put speaker ON after 4.1.2 upgrade. Maybe a calibration issue. If it can help... Otherwise, sorry for that topic.
Problem came back yesterday. Volume does not come back at a good level when I shut on/off the speaker... I'm near outburst of rage
Try re-flashing and let us know...

Click to collapse I have exactly the same issue, not tried turning the speaker on and off yet, but unable to adjust the call volume. JB is good but this is a failure at a basic level. Cannot find call volume in the settings, only ringing volume. **UPDATE** I tried toggling the speaker on and off during a call, made no difference.
willearp said: **UPDATE** I tried toggling the speaker on and off during a call, made no difference. Click to expand... Click to collapse It worked only one time for me. Tried something else which fixed it : when in call, press key volume up 2 or 3 times, then hit the parameter key that appears right to the volume bar. You are now in the vol parameter, showing all vol levels. Your in-call bar might be at mid : slide it to low. Get out with home key : you can now take your ear on the phone, the volume is now OK. This tip worked for me with my last calls. Hope it will works for you too !

Click to collapse Cool, I will give it a go, thinking about it I the last call I had wasn't overly loud, so I may have done something to it, but next time I am in a call I will click the volume configure button and see what I can do.

Happens to me from time to time as well. What I do is I just increase the volume 1,2,3 click and then tune it down and it fix it. But yes - there is such issue.
[Q] Volume Button Issue
When I press the volume button to raise the level I am having issues. The phone will bounce back and forth one level between raising and lowering the level. After a good 30 seconds of trying this I get lucky and the volume raises. When I try to reduce the volume I have no issue. Is anyone else having an issue with this? I feel that this is a hardware problem but I am wondering if this is a possible software issue. Any help will earn my eternal love!!!
Perhaps this is related to the Safe Volume Level warning dialog box?
FligMupple said: Perhaps this is related to the Safe Volume Level warning dialog box? Click to expand... Click to collapse I don't think it's related. It only happens when the volume is at minimum.
nope nothing like that here. i am having a power button issue. it seems to be too sensitive. if i barley tap it it turns on the display. Is your moto x the same?
Try tapping the volume button not pressing too long. I'm having the same issue but I figure it out how to use it.
In call volume meter not showing changes when adjusting volume
Hi! Wonder if this is a software bug or not. When I change the in call volume on my Nexus 6 the volume changes but the volume meter on the phone doesent show the change until it has dissapeared and i press the volume button again. You have this aswell? Br J
Mine goes up and down with each key press. I am pretty much stock but rooted with Light Flow and double tap to wake. Motorola 64GB on Verizon running 5.0.1.

Ringer volume change with screen off
Well this is usually not a problem but I had the slim armor case on and the buttons are very sensitive. Wouldnt be the end of the world except even with the screen off this phone changes ringer volume if the vol buttons are pressed. Anyone else think this is goofy and it should only change media volume with the screen off?

I posted in the zen kernel thread to make sure it wasn't the kernel (new version just released today), someone said that is stock ROM behavior. Can someone with a stock ROM double check?

Click to collapse I'm running stock 5.1 LMY47D and the ringer volume does change when the volume buttons are pressed while the screen off. However, the volume buttons do nothing when the screen is off and the phone is locked.
I too have this issue and I cannot seem to get rid of it no matter what I do. It only happens when using the "none" lockscreen.
Grab volume locker from the play store. The only back draw is that it doesnt work if connected to BT
