volume key disable

is there an app that will totally disable the volume key? i find myself pressing it by accident.
what im looking for is completely disabling it and it will only work when you are in media or video. that the volume cannot be adjust by the volume keys and i have to change profiles with another app

Take a look at Volume Locker......or Smart Volume....
Via the XDA app for the HTC Inspire

thanks.. i dl ring guard and that works better for me

[Q] Headphone Control Settings

I am currently running blisspop 5 but also use others on the OnePlus One. I own a pair of Xiaomi Piston earphones and like that the 3 button controls like volume work on android devices. My question is if there is a way to change the buttons or add an option to skip track? I know this can be done in the MIUI Rom settings but really don't like that Rom.
Thanks!

Shouldn't double tapping the play/pause button skip track?

Tried but all it seems to do is pause and play, long press opens Google search command, double tap volume just changes volume twice, long press volume scrolls volume

Poweramp has these settings if you use it.
Edit: settings>headset /Bluetooth>wired headset.

How quickly do you double tap?

I've tried rapidly pressing it and slowing it down, it doesn't seem to matter how fast

[Q] How do you adjust volume with screen off / @ lock screen?

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.

[Q] Utilizing volume buttons

Id like to know if there is a way to use say the volume down button to quickly activate an app which is running in the background. I am thinking of say double pressing the volume down button to activate my app. Is this possible?

does it need root?
edit: nevermind

No root needed.

There are many apps that do the same. However, I guess even this one has the same problem as all others:
When the phone is in sleep mode the buttons won't work, hence, the flashlight won't shine...

As stated you need to run aod to use buttons at screen off.

I just love this app.
Will it work on other phone, besides Samsung also? Oneplus 6 in particular...It would be option I will miss the most if it wouldn't work:/ Ofcourse there is no bixby button, but can you remap volume buttons on other android devices also?

Hey,
What's up with the accessibility permissions?? Why would the app need to know what apps I am using and what I type??

How else do you imagine the app can work without root?
