I sometimes inadvertently turn ringer volume down low, and then forget to turn it back up to full and miss an important call.
I’ve found apps such as Ringer Volume (Android-Lab) however it wants ‘full Internet access’ don’t know if I like that with an app that will be constantly running?
Another option would be a taskbar icon showing my volume level i.e. 20% however I cannot find any such widget. It’s not mute that give me the problem it’s when I decrease the Ring Volume sometimes by accident when holding my Desire HD, with CyanogenMod 7
?Is this the correct section to ask for help on this problem?

I wake up today feeling like sharing
setVol is a really simple app to lock the HD2 volume.
As far as I know, there is no quick/simple way to lock the Volume buttons while the phone is off (screen off), so I wrote this simple tool to "lock" the volume.
It runs every minute (doesn't matter the powerstate of the phone) using "CeSetUserNotificationEx" API.
When it runs it does the following.
1. Gets the current volume
2. Gets the "stored/desired volume" from the registry (HKCU\SetVol\CurVol)
3. Checks if the phone is "on"
4. If the current volume is different than the stored one, and the phone is "On" it vibrates to let you know that the "desired" volume has been stored, and updates the registry.
If the volume is different, but the phone is in any other powerstate (screen off, etc) it set the volume to the stored one.
So in theory, you won't be able to "accidentally" change the volume when the screen is off.
The setVol.exe must be installed in "\Program Files\setVol\" directory. No cab, just an .exe.
To "uninstall" just delete the whole directory
Very strange to see no comments here at all... no one used it yet?
I definitely have this problem on my HD2! the volume buttons are not locked when the screen is locked/off, and that makes it go into silent when i want it loud, and goes into loud when i am in a meeting!
will try this on now! thanks for sharing!
I wrote that one in a couple of hours (right, minutes, but that sounds too quick ) so don't expect it to be utterly brilliant, but at it does the job I wanted, it keeps the volume where I want.
I use S2U2 and don't have that problem.
Why does only the ringer volume change when I use the volume rocker on my home screen? I realize it specifically says "Ringer volume," but is there a way to have my notification volume relatively change as well? I could have sworn this was the case with my old G1.
For example, in the volume settings I have ringer volume set at 100% and notification volume set at 50%. It would be extremely convenient if I used the volume rocker to bring 'ringer' down to 50% and the notification volume would go down by half as well, bringing it to 25%. Similarly, if they were both at 100% in the settings, they'd both be at 50% after I used the rocker to bring 'ringer' down to 50%.
p.s - ever say a word so many times to yourself that it loses meaning?
I do too!!! Lol I want it to be the same
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I've been looking all over xda but can't seem to find the next thing:
Is there allready an app or a homebrew app available that let's WP users mute their phone very easily? As well as sound ass vibration.
It is pretty annoying I always have to change it in the settings.
Regards!
There is a volume-control app (in the dev&hacking sub-forum, I believe) but I admit to finding the request odd; why not just hold down the Volume Down button? If you have vibration enabled and want to turn that off too, you'll also need to turn on the screen for a sec (no need to unlock it, though).
Normally my phone is on vibrate + ring
When I'm in a normal meeting it is on Vibrate only
When I'm asleep/ important meeting/... its muted completely. No vibrating, no ringing.
It is pretty easy to switch between the first two. But to get it completely muted I always have to go via the ringtone settings.
If I hold the volume down to zero it will always keep on vibrating. I don't seem to get your point?
Ah, my bad. It used to toggle between Vibrate and Silent when you tapped the button on the screen. Now it just toggles the ringer; you can't disable the vigrate from there anymore. Dumb...
Is there a way to stop the "warning" that pops up every time mobile data is turned off? Example. It is very unnecessary and forces me to "click" an extra time to proceed (yes I am that lazy).
Additionally, is there a way to change songs with the volume keys when the screen is turned off? On my old HTC One X I could change the songs by holding down volume up or down (regular pressing would still change volume). I would like this option because I frequently play music through my phone while driving. I have tried Pocket Skip Track but it is buggy and does not always work. I have also tried using DoubleTwist but the option does not work at all. Is there an option in Touchwiz for this that I simply missed? Or is there an easy root fix?
Hi all
I saw an earlier thread on this but can't believe that it's not a bug that needs fixed.
My phone has no apps open, I unlock it and press the volume buttons and up pops a little window showing me that I am adjusting the media volume. This functionality used to be context sensitive, ie, in this case it would adjust the ringer, in a call it would adjust the call volume and when playing media it would adjust the media volume.
Now it's just the media volume and a few screen actions to adjust the ringer.
Surely this is a backwards step and a bug?
Does anyone know of a way to change this, or an app that can be associated with the volume controls to make it work properly?
Thanks
Michael
I don't know that there's a way to revert it to a previous Android way of handling it as it's the way Google built Pie's volume control to work.
FWIW, they did it for the millions out there who don't ever want to change the volume for their ringer/notifications once they get it set, especially if they start adjusting volume for something like a call before the context has kicked in, so you inadvertently adjust ringer volume instead of in-call volume. At least, that's what I assume it is because that's what happened with me. I have set my phone to vibrate as soon as it's out of the box, and with the new way of handling volume, I no longer have to deal with changing it off of that setting until I reset the phone. I love it.

Thanks for the reply, and the explanation Seamonkey. I have to say though I still don't get why they didn't just make this a user selectable option. Pick the default volume to adjust or leave it as context sensitive.
For some of us the phone is still a device for phone calls first and everything else second!
All the best
Michael
