I just got stereo bluetooth headphones, and I'd like to be able to turn off the screen and lock all the buttons when playing music.
Is there anything I can do or any programs what will allow me to do this?
If you are using WMP, you can assign a button to 'toggle screen' which will switch off your screen and probably lock the buttons (not sure) unless you assign it.
hope this works

When my HTC pro is locked the both volume buttons still work.
Is there a way to disable these 2 buttons when my phone is locked, the should only work if the HTC pro is not locked!
How can I change this?
good question. I would like to know as well...
a friend of mine told me, htat the diamond has got the buttons locked in locked mode, too.
2 of my working partners have both a touch diamond and they both confirmed that the button keys are turned off when the phone is locked.
you guys should check out the sensor lock app, it's free and by a peep on here, it's pretty good
this app is quite cool (sensorlock), but we just want a simple lock of the volume buttons when the device is locked by the default procedure.
sensorlock does not what i want.
I just want the default lock in wm to lock the volume keys.
So if I press the "end call" and hold it down the phone locks, it should also lock the volume keys, the on/off button should NOT be locked!
More function I do not need for locking.
It would be OK if a app does the same with a software/sensor lock function, but important is that it is enabled by long press of end call button.
Sorry no answer to your question but I agree: the fact that the volume buttons are not locked is really annoying!
volume buttons not locked
They are locked on my original Dutch T-Mobile Rom.
(and yes, I've checked that)
On my vodafone rom not, I am now runnin romeos and on this rom there are also not locked.
Note: we are speaking here about the default lock of the OS, NOT the sensorlock! So holding down the "end all button" for approx 2 seconds. The phone now locks itself and display is dimped, now all keys execpt the on/off and volume keys are locked. What I want is that volume keys are also locked.
It is possible to lock the volume keys using apps such as sensorlock, but this lock does not work with the end call button, you must rotate the phone of use the stylus to (un)lock it.
tis true. when locked, volume buttons work. when display is off, they do not
3 Australia Rom also comes with this problem. It would be interesting to know how they fixed it in the T Mobile Dutch rom.

Not really, it does not what I ask
I just want: lock using hold own end key, all keys (including volume) are OFF.
This tool does not do this, if I set is using wm in lock modus the volume keys still work, all other options are not for me...
It is great that people suggest which tools to use for locking but please only suggest a tool which locks does exactly as I ask.
If anyone Finds an answer to this I would love to know as well!
yeah kinda of a big problem. I lock the phone. Put it on vibrate or silent and put it in my pocket. because of the location of the keys, it sometimes increases the volume. Quite annoying since use an mp3player where i go, i don't hear my phone (thats why i prefer to use only vibrate).
Turning the display off is a workaround that helps a bit.. but that button also works when locked (not weird ofcourse)
Nevermind, I've found the best way to get past this is after locking the phone (by holding the end call key) if you press the power key and release it puts it into "Sleep Mode" and turns off the screen. After this the volume keys cannot be used unless you press and release the power button to wake it up.
Seems to cure my problem.
any person can help me how enable volume buttons when device is locked ?
rom: ROMeOS ver.1.70.3
So I have a weird problem with two different sets of head phones. One came with my S3 when I bought it originally that has two volume buttons and a third button plus a mic. The other set that I tried is just a random black pair I bought somewhere that only has one control button and no mic. I know for a fact neither set are "designed for iphone".
The problem I'm having is with my OPO while using PowerAmp. If the screen is on then the push button controls for play/pause/prev track/next track all work perfectly with one/two/three button pushes. But as soon as the screen is off the control button won't do anything really but turn the volume up on the music. Sometimes the play/pause control will work as it should with the screen off but only about 20% of the time. And as soon as I turn the screen on where I am on the lock screen, in app or in a different app the controls work perfect.
I never had this problem with either set of headphones in Poweramp or any other music player on my S3.
Any idea what would cause this or how to fix it? I ordered a set of 1+ silver ear buds for black friday to see if that fixes the problem or not.
bump, anyone?
Hi guys
Is there a way of putting the phone on silent without having to 'open' the phone and then use the volume keys?
I'm coming from an iphone and in meetings I just used to slide a switch. I know the Z3 doesn't have that of course - but is there a way of doing it without waking the phone?

Yeah, iPhones have that dedicated hardware switch for that. Unfortunately, the Z3 does not have that as far as I know.
EDIT: Actually, you can push the power button once, then push and hold it again to open up a menu, then press the silent button. It's not a single switch, but it doesn't have to unlock the phone.
Yea.
The sound toggle menu works from the Lockscreen. The IPhone does have the hw switch, but its not switching to silent, hence the vibration is active. With android you can choose between sound, silent or vibrate. I prefer this over the IPhone way.
There is a setting wherein all you have to do is turn the phone face down. It's in Personalization, Motion. Haven't used it nor have I tested it on multiple calls.

Hi, been playing this phone for 1 week already.
Which i find it very interesting and useful!
But there are some issues which i find it redundant and would like to see if experts out there can solve it.
1. When i long press the fingerprint in lock screen, it will unlock the phone. but when you press long enough i can access to the Wechat pay, Mi AI, Alipay shortcuts.
I use wechat pay alot, so when i swipe to do payment (the barcode one), it will notify me EVERYTIME Not to send the code to other people unless making payment and i have to press "got it". Is there a way i can bypass this and go directly to the barcode just like when you doing it the longest way where you have to open the wechat > wechat pay > Money.
2. when i connect my bluetooth speakers (my speaker has its own volume control), the volume of my xiaomi phone and speaker volume works separately.
What i mean is when i turn the volume up on the phone only the phone media volume goes up and not the speaker. so i have to turn up the speaker volume again to set the volume i want. Is there a way that could sync both volume at the same level so one volume key can set both phone and speaker.
i found that this is a common case too where many people are searching for solution...
I have tried the enabling/disabling absolute audio which doesn't work
I just found out that the problem will not persist when i am on a call.
So when i press the volume up and down on the bluetooth headset, it will also control the volume on the phone (the volume bar on the phone will go up and down while i am increasing or decreasing the volume on headset)
I've found that the problem is very common with every single phone I had..... probably it depends also from the bluetooth accesories used.
