Is there any way to change invert the function of the volume rocker when in landscape mode? It's counter-intuitive to push to the left to get the volume to go up. It seems like it'd be easy to just flip the switch function when the phone goes to landscape, but then again I'm no dev.
I googled and the only thing I found was a post asking the same question for a different device which had no response.

I very often become irritated over accidentally touching the Volume buttons when not using the phone, for example when writing a text message in landscape mode, as touching the Volume buttons means changing the ringer status to for example vibrating or soundless.
Is is possible to disable the Volume buttons when not the using phone for calls?
I now that this means that I need to use the settings in order to change ringer volume etc.
Thank you in advance.
I too get annoyed by the same thing,
Glad its just not me,
I would also like to know if this is possible.
I don't know if it is possible to disable the controls but an app called ringer volume control http://www.androlib.com/android.application.vol-qwmn.aspx will restore the ringer volume to the level you have choosen in the program.
Thanks
That app works great.
I love my evo 3D but one thing that has been driving me nuts is that whenever im holding it in landscape mode i keep hitting the heat sensitive buttons on the right while playing games or watching movies... this either causes the phone to vibrate or minimizes the app
is there a way to turn off the buttons in landscape mode?

i haven't seen any 3rd party apps which disable these buttons .. the only controls i've seen were for the LED backlight on the buttons, which i don't think is what you're looking for.
i would think, in theory, there should be some type of API an application could tap into which would disable those buttons. the first downside which comes to mind is there is no way to exit out of the application if for some reason the application has any type of issues and the back/home buttons are still disabled.
perhaps with back/home buttons disabled, enable volume rocker to go back to home? the logic starts to get a bit tricky.
the best and most narrowly focused solution which comes to mind would be for the game app developer to handle those buttons during game play. perhaps require the home or back buttons to be held instead of tapped in order to trigger their standard action.
perhaps a 3rd party app could disable tapping the buttons and require them to be held for 5 seconds in order to trigger their standard tapping action?
i know on ics, this is handled a bit better as there are no hardware buttons and they are handled in the software. in the stock ics gallery, the buttons are dimmed to dots instead of their full icons while viewing images, which gives the impression there is greater software control over those buttons than previously.
i'm sure if somebody else has seen any solutions, they'll post up.
hope that helps with a few technical thoughts from the background of an application developer!
Is there any way to change the volume button behaviour in landscape mode in Neo V, like if I press the right button(volume down) it would increase the volume.
Can anyone provide the way to do it or tell me the files to edit.
Thanks in advance.
I am not quite sure, but the only phone I came across that has volume buttons configured this way is my milestone. All others use the default android way.
I keep on messing up the ring volume when grabbing the phone in my pocket, because I inadvertently push the up/down vulme buttons and the power button at the same time. So for example I find the phone on mute without even realizing it... Is there a way to disable this shortcut?
Thanks

I've had the same issue.
There are a couple of apps on the market that are a bit finicky but will reset you volume after a change based upon a timeout (and a dialog box coming up). Personally the best 'fix' I found was to get a case with button cutouts; I know it's not really a fix but making the buttons a little harder to press makes a world of difference when pulling it out of my pocket.
Thanks! Could you suggest one of those apps?
CM has this feature where you can use the volume rocker to skip tracks when the screen is off. I really dislike the feature so I have disabled it via settings. But now a volume rocker longpress does absolutely nothing when the screen is off. I would expect the volume to increase/decrease gradually when the volume rocker is long pressed. Whats the point of disabling one functionality without re-enabling the other!!
Anybody know the fix to this? Not sure if this problem is just with me, or with everyone on CM.
Thanks
