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?

Firstly - hello all! What a great forum, I've gone from knowing nothing about Windows Mobile to having a fully customised Raphael in about 48 hours!
But: I have a set of Motorola S9 Bluetooth headphones which work excellently (although I haven't yet made or received a call using them). I also have a Sony a2dp Bluetooth headunit which also works excellently.
However .... As a matter of course I use the one touch power button to lock/standby, and when I press play/pause on either bluetooth device it automatically unlocks the phone.
When I'm driving this isn't such an issue as I will be ordering a Brodit Car Cradle very soon. But when I have the handset in my pocket using the S9 having it unlocked is a recipe for unwanted screen presses. I use the Touch Media Player (I know it's not the best but it seems to work OK for what I want) and the handset switches to the Music screen automatically (as well as unlocking) whenever I press play/pause. So theoretically it's pretty likely that it's only the media player that will get messed with, but you never know...
So my question is: Is there any way of stopping it from unlocking like this without introducing extra locking/unlocking complications?
hi
im using the Jabra BT3030, that uses A2DP aswel, on my touch pro and my phone stays locked when i start stop use the voice dailing, changing volume or song.
the phone turns on that is true, are u sure u are using the lock function
to realy lock ure phone u have to press and hold the end call button for 2 seconds(lower right button). if that button is not set to lock u can change that in ure phone settings under settings>long press end key there u can chose lock device
i hope this helps, let me know

Yeah, I'm using SonyEricsson HBH-DS980, and for me too the phone only turns on upon play/pause etc., but does not unlock.
Have you guys had any problems with receiving/making call using your headests? I have a problem that after a few minutes into a call my headset disconnects, although BT stays on, and I have to restart the headset to re-acquire BT-lock. And it keeps doing this every few minutes. Highly annoying - renders my headset completely useless for phone calls (luckily it still rocks for listening to music).
Mine does the same. Both with my HBH-DS970 and with my HTC BT headphones. I tried the long-press end key lock which works, but prevents me from changing tracks using the HTC headset, yet the volume control works. Weird huh?
I haven't tried the long end key press to lock the device. But thats because I use that for switching on vibrate mode.
Anyone got any other suggestions?
I'm using the motorola S9 too, and my TP doesn't unlock when I press play/pause.
Note that I've installed Answerkeydisabler and Advanced Config Tool and played with locking/screen-off, and may have activate some options leading to this behaviour...

u can always set the long key to "always display the quick list" so u can chose to lock ure device or set ure vibrate ringer
also u can just use the volume keys to change ure ringer to vibrate/sound to
I am now using the quick list so it sort of solves the problem. But it still seems a little awkward compared to just pressing the power button once and not having the a2dp commands reactivating it.
Are we saying that this cant be done?
Any ideas?
I've searched everywhere using all the keywords I can think of but not had any success yet.
In the old days I used to use S2P or Windows Media Player and if I was on battery the screen would dim or even go blank but music wuld continue to play and I could pause or skip tracks using the d-pad despite the device appearing to be off.
I'm now using TouchFlo3d for music playback. This turns the screen off but also stops the buttons from working. It means I need to turn it on before I can change tracks or anything. I tried a workaround so that any button would wake the device but it ended up calling people by mistake while it was in my pocket. Then I installed S2U2 but that means I have to slide accross the screen to change tracks as well as pressing buttons.
Does anyone know of a way to allow me to press buttons while music is playing without running the risk of dialling people by accident? Thanks.
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.
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'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...
