hey everyone, is there any way to disable the volume controls when the screen is locked? i accidentally hit it sometimes when i am at work and its in my pocket.
i found this app to be helpful for me.

Didnt work, I can still press the volume buttons while off- turning on the screen-changing the volume.

Every time I touch the Volume Button on the side of the case (even accidentally) the ringer volume goes down incrementally. Can this button be locked or deactivated? Can the volume be locked in some other way? Does the vibration setting have anything to do with this issue?
Volume Control + will lock your volume for you.

In the top drop menu with all the toggles is the Sound toggle ("Vibrate - Mute - Sound"). I always keep it on vibrate.
I have noticed that the sound setting gets changed without my input. This has happened at least a dozen times so I don't think it's me accidentally doing it. I can't find a pattern to when it happens and it drives me crazy when the phone rings in a meeting or other inappropriate time.
Any ideas?

This can be toggled with the volume rocker on the side when the phone has been unlocked. You're probably doing this by accident.
This happens to me once in a while when I wake up in the morning and press the volume rocker to snooze my alarm.

Right you are - thanks. This is a drag though. Holding it with one hand it is almost impossible to press the wake key without also pressing the volume rocker. Not to mention accidental grabbing as you mention.
Does anybody know how to disable the volume hardware keys? My wife is getting aggravated because they are directly opposite the power button and she is inadvertently turning off the ringer because the volume buttons are very sensitive. Any way to turn them off?
I keep pushing the volume button and changing from vibrate to silent or loud etc. Can anyone tell me how i can disable the volume buttons until i unlock the phone. I get a text then as i'm pulling it out of my pocket i hit the volume keys. Anyone?
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust our phone's volume (music volume, or to quickly put the phone in/out of silent mode) while :
1. While the screen is off
2. While the screen is on and still in the locked screen (when there is a password set...due to exchange security policies)
Thanks!
You can change your media volume with the screen off, but I don't believe you can change your ringer volume. I have a Pebble watch and I'm able to use it to quickly toggle between ringer, vibrate and mute, but that's as close as I think you can get.

While your screen is on at the lock screen, press and hold the power button until the "power off" and all the other options menu pops up. Then press the volume up and down.
You can now adjust your volume up/down while locked.
