Hi all,
As you know you can change the status of the ringer with the sound button at Galaxy S III. When you press up at mute it changes to vibrate and you press it at vibrate it changes to sound vice verse. But as a normal person and with a normal handling of the phone, when I want to press the lock key I mistakenly press to the volume button with the other edge of my hand because I am holding the phone...
So question is; how can I disable this "changing status with volume keys" features?
If your question is about this feature on JB leak, I talk about this in the lastest leak thread :

I have this problem too. I hate it.

Nope it is not the same problem. It changes to Sound-Vibrate-Mute-Vibrate-Sound but the problem is, I don't want this feature!
So, any help, idea, walk through from anyone?

Ok, sorry ! I think the solution is to modify system/framework/ext.jar.
Install Volume Control+
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cb.volumePlus
It enables you to lock the volume in place so that the volume buttons will not adjust the volume.

hi guys,
i love the samsung galaxy s2 phone, but i have a question.
Whilst using the phone, i end up accidently pressing the volume button and this can sometimes mean i put the "Notification" or "Ringer" volume really down.
I only want to be able to control such options by actually going into the Settings menu, so is there a way to disable this button or somehow change it's functionality?
BUMP!
Surely someone must have the answer?

I guess so nyssa, but many also still have their mobiles, watching this forum and are still replying to many questions on this forum.
Hey there. Have you even tried searching in the market? The very first app for "volume" query can do just that
Sent from outer space by aliens on tapatalk using SGS2
thanks aj rockwell. That app i believe only helps you adjust settings with volume. I actually want to Remap buttons, so that the volume button cannot adjust sounds other than "IN-CALL volume"
this is so annoying, I was going to open a thread with the some issue. Is any chanse,mod which can switch a default option when we press volume from ringer volume to media volume. many times by incident I turn ringer volume down and I dont hear a ringer.
@ x7 - Halleluyah! At last i find someone who has exactly the issue as myself.
Guys, all i want is some app that can disable the volume button from controlling the MEDIA's/NOTIFICATION's volume. The only way i want to control these is by actually going to SETTINGS>SOUND ...surely there must be an app that can REMAP the Volume key functions?
I agree, why Samsung did this think That you can change volume ringer by pressing a volumes button? This is so silly
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S 2 (80GB)
the only thing we can do x7 is hope that someone on here will know a fix for this volume issue.
I took a look in android market but I havent found anythink
I checked too, but could not find anything. The only one i have seen whilst searching on google, is Button Remapper. But there is no information to say that this app is safe for the SGS2.
Anyone? Help!
x7nofate mate, pls ignore the replies. I feel like such a twat now . It looks like AJ.Rockwell was right...i never properly tried the recommended app and was too quick to ignore it's features.
Download "Volume Control +" from android market and install it.
Once installed, set the volume for all the media/ring/notifications. Then simply goto the options where it allows you to lock each individual type of tone. So for example if you don't want to decrease your ringtone volume by accident, then select that.
Save your settings and you should have a little lock icon in your status bar.
Now when you put your volume for your ringtone down, it looks like its gone down again, right???? WRONG! Since Volume Control+ has locked it down, VC+ automatically forces it back to the "locked" settings. Genius!
Let me know how you get on mate!
PS: If you need any help or just wanna chat android, then PM me ur email and i'll add you to msn/yahoo/skype or whatever you use.
I installed a "Volume Control +" ages ago and I locked in settings but I can put my volume ringtone down anyway so I thought that it doesn't work but I was wrong. It works, thank you very much
Bump! I searched XDA on Google for this exact thread, my problem too. My question is, with that apps reccommendation (thanks for that), does it still bring up the volume OSD? That's my major annoyance, and something that happens to people whenever I pass my phone over to them.

My I9100 is running the stock 4.0.3 ICS update that was installed via Kies. Everything I've read says that ICS links the ringer and notification volumes, but this has not been my experience.
My volume rocker only changes the ringer volume. I verified this by installing Persist Volume Control and watching as only the ringer volume changes.
Does anyone know what's wrong? This behavior seems different from everyone elses'.
Thanks!

As I always want to control the volume levels of each media type separately, I am happy that the ringer and notification volume level are not linked.
But I am using Elixir Widget app from the Play store to change the volume levels and save my volume profile(s).
Usually, I do not change the volume level by the volume key.

Does it matter? Is this not core functionality that should be found in all flavors of ICS? No matter how bastardized by the OEM?
Either way, in the Google link one person does mention their SGS2.
Is my research wrong and are these indeed not supposed to be linked?
So... nobody knows?

exactly the same problem. They're obviously supposed to be linked because every single google result except this one is ICS users trying to separate the link complaining they want that feature back
Attached a screenie of my offical O2 kies-updated ICS 4.0.3 volume screen, showing they're not linked...
constantly missing texts because i just use the volume rocker to turn up my phone forgetting it doesnt turn up notifications like Gingerbread used to

Glad I'm not alone... but maybe us 2 are?
GB I have the option to link or keep separate.
I personally prefer separate control over these settings.
Why would you wish to permanently link them?
Could you not simply just set these values where you wish them individually and be satisfied?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
How hard is it to turn one or both up or down. Custom settings are what makes a phone individual.Personally i like the idea they are not linked. My ringer can be turn full on or off and my notifications to just a whisper...Perfect.

If I want my ringer to be quiet, I want my notifications to also be quiet. I should be able to do this via the volume rocker, like I can on my One X, and used to be able to do prior to my I9100's ICS update.

It's quite a nuisance if I want them to be adjusted concurrently.
I've read that ICS is supposed to force (or give the option of) linking, which is the point of my thread. Is this only the case for every phone except the I9100?
nice thanks so much

Its not a custom setting, this is supposed to be stock ICS, i certainly wouldnt have chose to have this crap feature.
It now takes 4 presses to get to the menu every time you wander into a quiet situation, and then another 4 when you leave it (not including actually moving the volume sliders).
I personally find that very annoying when there's a volume control on the side of my phone.
Use CM9. Has ability to link ringtone & notification volumes.
Is there a way to implement this on stock Samsung ICS (Touchwiz)? Tried quick settings but the option is greyed out.
Thanks

I've had this issue too. Thought the volume buttons should control both ringer and notifications but they didnt. Im running Caulkin's ICS rom too so that may have something to do with it. Regardless, after MUCH searching and downloading of apps that I thought would do this but they didn't, I finally found an app that did this for me! Quick Settings by Halfbit - note that there are two apps by different developers called the same thing. I didn't try the other one but this one worked.
Strange though, the selection to link the notification and ringer volumes is checked, but grayed out. So guess you have to uninstall the app to change this configuration..

Apparently not. Stock/ota ics for droid4 also removes the checkbox to allow you to link the volumes if you want to. I want to link them as well so when i turn it down at a meeting, i don't get blown out of my chair when i get a text.
Setting everything once and forgetting it doesn't work for a lot of people. For me, i need it quiet at work, then loud while not at work so i can hear ringer/sms sounds over road noise/music while driving, or if i leave my phone upstairs at home. I use moto's smart actions to handle the volume changing automatically (think of it as a gimped version of tasker) but now that ringtone and notification vol are no longer linkable, and smart actions can't control notification volume, i consider it to be broken. It turns down ringer vol just fine, but notifications are still crazy loud. Very annoying. Can't wait for cm9 (or even 10) for the droid4!
Hi, I'm on the official Samsung update and wanted to know if there is an app or Something that would allow the volume rockers to wake the phone instead of the power button. Searched the play store but all I could find was the "proximity sensor" wake apps but I find they drain too much battery.
Have you guys found any tweaks??
FOUND flashable zip!
found a thread with a flashable zip, do you know if it works with our phone? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987669
If a mod isn't for your phone you stand a good chance of borking your phone.
If you don't mind me asking, what's so great about volume wake?
its just to prevent damaging the power button from over use, if im able to wake using volume rockers it evens the button usage

For those with the sticky power button issue that'll cause boot loops.
Have you found a solution yet? I tried to modify the key layout files and set all Volume Up/Down to wake, no luck.
Thanks

hey im using an app called "tap tap app", i wake using the proximity sensor and you turn the screen off by using a widget button. not exactly what i was looking for but its been doing a good job of reducing my power button usage.
Doesn't work for me, even after I select "invert sensor". Anyway, thanks

now its ok, problem fixed, just installed latest jkay deluxe settings and my problem was solved. before its like this: example the notification volume is just 1 /10, when i adjust the ringing or media volume via volume keys, notification volume increases, regardless of adjusting the ringing volume down, notification volume still goes up.
Updated to the note 3 about a month ago. The volume rockers used to control the ring volume which is what I want. They now only control notification volume.
Yes I know, pressing the button opens up the slider and I can maintain all the volumes from there.
I want to control ringer volume with the side volume buttons.
Anyone have any idea how this got changed or how I can revert back?
So no one knows how to change the settings for the side volume rockers? Am I missing a simple solution?
Are you running a live wallpaper? There are a few out there that make the device think it's playing some type of media, therefore, only trigger the media volume when adjusting the volume. If this isn't the case I'm not sure why your device is stuck on pulling up the notification volume instead of the ringer volume.

Thanks for the heads up on the live wallpaper. I never run them though. This Note is completely stock and unrooted. It's killing me not to root it. I have been waiting hoping for a work around on tripping the knox counter. In the meantime, this little glitch is driving me nuts. Thanks for the suggestions.
Start uninstalling apps until you figure it out. If that doesn't work then think about a factory reset.
