Is there an App that can disable the voume rocker!

Hi everyone. I'm a proud owner of a htc evo shift and I was wondering if anyone knew of an app that can disable or lock the volume rocker on phones!
Not everytime, but sometimes I go to open the slide out keyboard and I end up accidentally turning the volume down.
So if anyone know of a certain that does this please let me know.
Thanks

HI !
I Have the same issue with a desire...
The only way around i found is to use "volume locker".
This small app locks the volume to a preset you set...
A bit tricky for switching from normal/silent mode but works...

[Q] Ringer on/off

I search this specific forum but couldn't find anything on this topic.
I was wondering if it was possible to put a hot key or button or something on the lock screen or even on one of the pages to silence the phone with out having to turn it down manually with the rocker switch?
I had a motorola atrix 2 and it had something on it's locked screen to silence and unsilence the phone.
Of course I also like the locked screen on the atrix 2 better then my skyrocket but that and the silence button are the only 2 things I liked over my skyrocket.
Any advice or help would be great.
Thank you

You can enable the "Turn Over" motion feature to mute incoming calls and sounds. No need to press buttons.
See if that works for you.

That is awesome, thank you for the suggestion but I was thinking more along the lines of forgetting to silence your phone in say a meeting. Instead of having to unlock the phone and press the volume down button till silent, can I put a volume on / vibrate mode widget or something on my lock screen.

You can replace your lockscreen and use something like widgetlocker. And you can add whatever widget, slider action or shortcut you want. Search the market for other options.

Thanks a lot widget locker works great and does exactly what I want.

Volume rocker disable on screen off

When I use it to listen to music I throw it in my back pocket. Whenever I move... at all... the volume rocker decides I want music as loud as possible or no volume at all. Is there any way to turn off volume rockers on screen off... or all together? I'm fine with using softkeys to change volume. I have tried widgetlocker and that only works as long as the screen is on.

Built into the software, custom ROM can change this of course.

So we just have to wait for source or ICS... ha lets just hope Sammy doesn't forget about us so soon.

there is a build prop line you can configure so the screen wont trun on when pressing volume keys, perhaps there are more entries which might allow you to disable altogether. I would bet against it though.
Best bet in the meantime would be to search for an app, perhaps something like tasker.

Are there any apps that enable volume rocker wake?

Thanks in advance!

WidgetLocker has the ability

Just tried it, checked the box in settings, but no dice
Uninstalled and got a refund.
Any others?

no lock?
or
Screen Off and Lock?

Thanks, already tried both of them because they worked on my og evo, but no such luck
Coming from the galaxy s2 I do miss the power button on the side, hoping to find a solution still

Actually, I used to have a Nexus One and the power button was broken. To circumvent that, I had to use an app called AnyUnlock. I turned the screen on with the volume rocker and you could also use a widget to turn the screen off (rather than using the power button to turn the screen off). Which I suppose could be useful if you have smaller fingers or something and didn't want to make the reach. Very, very useful app when your power button stops functioning.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm sure it uses the same method that the other apps use and it even says in the description on their app page that it only works on Froyo and GB.

Yea seems like all of them don't work with ics urrrrrrrrr

I was actually wondering this very same thing earlier today. Hope someone finds a solution.

Volume Rocker Wake works on CM9 Alpha 5
I've been using CM9 Alpha 5 for a few hours now and it's great !
The first think I set was the Volume Rocker Wake as the Power Button is not as easy to press when using most cases covering the power button.
To enable it, go to SETTING --> DISPLAY --> VOLUME ROCKER WAKE
it enables waking the phone by pressing the volume rocker EITHER up/down.
There is no way to specify one or the other
However, it works great ! I'm really liking CM9, my only complaint is the missing HTC Camera which was just amazing with the hardware burst (I'm still looking for a way to flash it if that's even possible).

Features you would like to see on an android?

I personally wouldn't mind a little switch on the side of the phone preferably above the volume buttons that lets you switch from media volume, ringer volume, and brightness and use the volume buttons to adjust the one you have the switch one, that would make it very convenient and would be awesome!
