Why oh why am I allowed to change the ringtone volume when the phone is locked?
Granted, media volume should be adjustable, but with the phone in my pocket, it is too easy to turn the ringtone volume all the wasy down to vibrate.
No way a 5100mah battery is in this phone. Has anyone removed the back to see the battery?
someone also please tell me what is best app to see power usage cos this phone is dropping fast. 6% in 20 minutes of browsing.
replying to myself so others can use same app if they need to
"volume control" app looks like it can lock only the ringtone, so that is a workaround for one of my issues

The "click" that follows each volume pressing drives my wife crazy, especially at night. Of coarse there is an option to get rid of the woman, but before taking such drastic measure, maybe the experienced folks here have an alternate idea??
The click should only happen when changing ringer volume, and i don't see why you would need to change it that much...
imo, it would be easier just to use the silent/vibrate/volume widget, since ringer volume is usually none or max...

Thank you for your reply.
Well, basically you are right. However, in order to avoid the difficulty to press the power button (awfully located) , I am using the "Fix Broken Power Button" app. That requires the use of the volume keys as a substitute to the power switch. Now, each "waking up" the DHD is accompanied with a loud "click", the one whicj I am trying to eliminate.
Thank you for your attention.
Maybe much better to change your wife? )))

Try a different app, there shouldn't be a sound when unlocking to the lock screen instead of skipping it
CM7 has options to unlock to the lock screen or skip it, and skipping it makes a sound
My EVO is forever switching itself to silent mode without me doing it (that I am aware of). I never intentionally set it to that myself. It's either in full sound/vibrate mode or vibrate only. However, often while texting I'll sit my phone down, pick it up later, and see I have missed texts and the phone is in silent mode.
How does that keep happening? Is it something I'm doing while hitting the power button to shut the screen back off?
the volume keys can set the ringer to up, down, or on vibrate.

Right, but I have my volume maxed out all the time, and I know that during the process of sitting my phone down on the desk I'm not holding in the volume button and running it all the way down to nothing. Plus, I don't think you can alter the ringer volume with the volume keys while the screen is off, can you?
*ok I just figured it out*
What I must be doing is accidentally squeezing the volume up button as I grip the phone and press the power button to shut the screen off. That puts the phone in silent mode. Mystery solved!
Some (a lot) of ROMs, including stock, also have an option to silence/send to voicemail when the phone is placed face down, as well. Sometimes, it seems like these options can inadvertently be triggered by setting it down wrong, or even moving it around in your pocket. Just something I have noticed.

I forgot about that option. I always make sure my phone doesn't do that as I always have my hands in my pockets when I walk and almost always have my phone face down on my desk when not using it.
hey there,
I'm using Slim ICS 4.2 and there is an option to wake up the phone with the volume buttons (don't know if this is 'general' on custom roms), which is very nice cause i hold the phone mostly with my left hand and so it's the best way to wake up the phone.
the problem is, when i have the phone in my pocket, i wanna feel from outside of the pocket where the volume buttons are and press them, and the screen turns on and cause the display is near my skin, buttons get pressed and lock the lockscreen for 30 seconds and more...
cause i don't wanna miss the unlock when i don't hear music, i would like to have it disabled when a headphone is plugged in. is there any chance that this gets or is already realized in another rom??
Greetings everyone,
Is there a way to disable the ringtone volume control using the volume rocker? Every time I use my phone, I keep hitting the volume rocker by mistake, changing from vibration mode to sound mode. I tried using apps like RingGuard and such, but they weren't effective and kept popping up in the notification center. Is there a way to get rid of the ringtone control option?
Thanks!

Completely disable the Volume buttons on Samsung Galaxy S3
I absolutely hate the placement of the power button on my Samsung Galaxy S3. When I go to holster my phone, if I accidentally hit the power button and wake the phone, when the phone fits into the holster the volume button will often brush against the holster and the volume will inadvertently change since the phone is now "awake" - this drives me CRAZY. I much preferred the power button to be on top of the phone, like my old Droid Incredible. But I do love my S3....
I tried the apps that "lock" the volume, but I was not happy with that solution. The apps seemed clunky, the geek in me doesn't like to have unnecessary app running in the background, and those apps tended to interfere with and/or alter the settings of the super-simple Silent Toggle Widget that I prefer to use.
So this is how I set up my phone:
- Completely disable the volume rocker button (see below);
- Use the Silent Toggle Widget on my Home screen to change the phone from "Sound" to "Vibrate" to "Silent";
- Use the Volume Control+ app to change the individual volumes via software, when the need arises, which it rarely does.
I love it. I don't find any real need to change individual volumes, for me the sound is either "on" or "off" - color me simple I guess.
So, to completely disable the volume rocker button on the Samsung Galaxy S3:
- Root your phone (sorry)
- Edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/sec_keys.kl [note the plural "s" in sec_keys.kl]
- Comment out the first two lines with the pound sign (#) to disable key 115 volume_up and 114 volume_down
- Reboot
Hope someone else finds this useful
this is a real shame that yoy have to disable the whole rocker, as this functionality has been for years in the iPhone...
This is the first nexus phone I've had, so I'm still learning. On my SGS3, I could pull down the tray and tap the speaker icon to mute. Is there any way to do that on the N5x? I don't see an option to add it to the tray, but there are many times I need to do this quickly. Any advice? I haven't gotten my cables yet, so I'm still locked and unrooted.
Thanks
I've always thought the simplest way is to use the volume rocker. Hold down till vibrate. That's vibrate mode. If you don't want that then push volume rocker down one more time. It will go into a do not disturb mode that you can configure to your liking either allowing alarms only or complete silence.
