Is there anyway to change the volume display, or decrease the amount of time it stays on the screen?
When I change the volume in the middle of a call, or game, or whatever... the volume display stays on the screen for what seems like an eternity. There's also no easy way to get rid of it. Hitting the back button takes you back from wherever you were... not just back from the volume display. I find it very annoying.
(I did a search for this topic and didn't find anything... if this has already been discussed, than sorry for the extra thread...)
Thanks-
Maybe it's a solution to hit anyplace on the screen where no button or volume slider is (standard the grey area) it shuts down the volume display only so you'll return to the place where you pushed the volume button
That was waayyy too easy!
Thanks-
Personally I don't like the HTC volume control, or the System Status screen, I prefer the to have WM deal with them, and just give me the bubble with volume sliders/comm panel links...
You can disable the system screen through the TouchFlo settings in Start > Settings > System > TouchFlo but you need a cab file to remove the volume control, I have it as "Remove-Htcvolume-by-HellengreeN.cab, I'm not sure where I found it.
It's a little glitchy when changing volume in a full screen app, as the bubble/volume bars are drawn "through" the full screen app, but you can see what's going on and it negates the need to use the stylus at all.

I am looking for an easy way to set my XDA to silent using one hand, like when heading into a meeting.
I have searched through these forums and found My|Profile & Ultra Profiler but really was looking for something even easier (freeware?).
Anyone want to do a little programming?
Here is how it would work.
1. Today screen plug-in
2. One icon or button labeled as "Silent"
3. Using a 'Today Options' button you could select a check box to Vibrate when Silent.
4. When "Silent" is pressed it would set the Volume Settings to 'Off'
That's it. Nothing else, no changable tones, no schedules. Just quickly silence the device. You can then use the Volume Slider to restore your previous settings.
On a related matter I don't understand why I can use the Volume Slider to recover from a "Volume Off" setting. It restores my previous Phone & PDA settings but I can't go to "Volume Off" using the slider. Weird.
If you can cope with two screen taps, the easiest way is simply to tap the speaker symbol at the top of the screen then tap "Off" (then tap the speaker symbol again if you want to close the pop-up). After the meeting there are two quick ways to restore the volume settings to their previous levels:
1) tap the speaker symbol and then "On" (then tap the speaker symbol again to close the pop-up)
2) slide the volume button on the side of the XDAII up twice

just press the colum button about 2 times it will go from max sound to off then to vibrate then to low then keep pressing it to make it go up and up till it reaches max then the cycle starts again very simple
Thanks for the ideas.
RafilK, maybe I have fat figures but trying to hit the Speaker Icon, with a finger, nestled between the time and the signal icon is a hit and miss affair.
gazzaman2k, please excuse my ignorance but what's a "Colum Button"? Is it one of the hardware buttons?
sorry typos meant to say volume
Fair enough. What I believe gazzaman2k was referring to was the hardware sliding button on the side of the XDAII that is used to increase and decrease volume. He is right, two downward movements of the volume button do silence the XDAII - I forgot about that! Hope this helps. Regards -- Rafil.
no i was on about the ahrdware button on the xda 1 actually
Can anyone please help, I have a XDA-2 but the volume slider on the side keeps getting stuck in the down position, (its not permenently stuck, if you push up the slider goes up, but then when you let go the sometimes the volume goes down all by its self) I have enabled the sound so that when you push one of the hardware button it makes a "click" sound, i did this to check that it was the button causing the problem not software.
Its a real problem because it just changes the volume to off so unless you keep looking at it and adjust the volume back up you miss all your alarms and messages.
I have it set to go to sleep after 5 mins, But oftern in this time the button decides to hold its self in the down position so the device never turns off and you end up with a flat battery.
On reading other posts there seems to be a long wait for phones to be repaired (its out of time to just swop for a new one) I never had a slider on the XDA-1 so i would not miss it on the XDA-2, so dose anyone know how to disable the slider, i dont realy wont to take it apart and remove the slider
Any help or ideas please
Thanks
John
Anyone got any ideas, or do i just use a pair of side cutter?????
Hi all
I've had my Omnia for a few weeks now and love just about everything about it now that I've tweaked it to suit me. I've set up the M2D system and think it handles great.
There's just one thing that I'd like to change and I wondered if anyone may have found a solution for me. When you lock the keys/screen by pressing and holding the 'end' button, the volume buttons can still be used - I thought I'd switched my phone to vibrate mode and gone into a meeting but must have caught the volume button a few times because halfway through the meeting my phone started screaming out Paradise City by Guns N Roses at almost full volume when a call came in, which was very embarrasing!
Anyhow - if anyone knows of a way to also lock the volume buttons along with the rest of the hardware buttons and the screen upon pressing and holding the 'end' button, I'd really appreciate the details.
Thanks in advance.
just hold the NO button to lock all the buttons instead of using power button to lock the phone.
i found the way to stop that i had the same problem and all you need to do is go to "settings" then "buttons" then scroll right until you see "wake up" then check the last box!!!!!!
I have an Att Fuze and my question is: Is there a way to "wakeup" the phone from stand-by (completely balck screen), by just pushing any button on the phone? Right now I have to push the top power button to wake it up.
Are there any setting to adjust it? I have an MDA and on the power setting there is the option to select it but I cannot find it on the Fuze
maybe you are looking for something like this?

I wouldn't suggest to do that - the power button at the top is strategically placed to act also like a keylock for other buttons that are more "naked" while phone is in pocket or something
You can also pull out the stylus to wake it up.
Thnx for the link....
Using Froyo, the volume hard buttons on my Nook color are hardcoded to Back and Menu functions. I have looking for a way to add full-time volume softkeys OR find a way to make long presses on the volume buttons change the volume. Another option would be to have volume controls in the notification bar and keep the bar open all the time.
Button Savior has the ability to have full-time softkeys, but nothing for volume (that I know of).
Any ideas?
You could use ClutchPad for this. There's just one item on the screen, but you could set swipe up to be volume up and swipe down to be volume down.
Thank you. I got it to work, but it's a little slow and the up/down swipes are a little difficult to perform correctly. I don't know why it's slow to access the volume controls, but I think the swipe difficulty may be due to the Nook's screen edge sensitivity. Overall, though, I'm very happy to finally have a solution. Thanks again.
