Is it possible to "lock" the ring volume setting?

I have set the call ring volume to its highest setting.
However, I guess when handling the phone, my fingers sometimes squeeze down on the volume setting button on the side of the phone and lower the volume back down.
It is a huge pain.
Is there a way to lock the setting or to disable the volume button?
Thanks.

  I have been looking through the phone since I saw your post, and I have not come across anything at this point. Have you looked through the market for an app that can control the sounds? You must be hitting the buttons while using the phone, as it should not adjust the volume when the phone is locked... Maybe a different case? Something that sticks out a little bit to help "hide" the buttons?

  • 1020 There is no lock for ringer volume level, but...

    Earlier today I posted in this Community regarding the Subject issue. Received good reply and marked it as a Solution. Had additional thoughts so I'm doing this new Post. Same Subject as before. I had asked if it's possible to LOCK the ring volume, at 10 for example, it's loudest, so I can hear it ring no matter what. I've been unpleasently surprised several times when my ringer rings BUT the volume is much much lower, way too low (2 or 3 maybe), way lower from where I had set it, up at (10). So then, I immediately adjust the volume back to 10, where I want it to stay, always. The volume up and down rocker button works fine. Problem is, the unexpexted, surprising and unwanted way very low ringer volume that causes me to MISS SOME CALLS. I have four kids. As a parent, missing calls can be a SERIOUS matter. If I could LOCK my ringer volume at 10 then I'll be happier. For me, thr parent, this tricky too low ringer volume problem is more than an annoying tech glich. What causes this problem, you may ask? The volume goes down without wanting it to do that because that while the phone is unlocked and in any kind of use or even while it is in screen lock mode, the very handling of the phone will sometimes unintendedly, unknowingly, without noticing it, press the down volume part of the volume rocker buttom. After all, the down volume part of the rocker button is the located at the lower end of that rocker and is closer to the center of the phone and close to the power button. That's right where anybody normally holds and works the phone, right there. AND worse yet, it takes only a little bit of pressure to accidently push the down volume rocker button. No wonder the down volume button unwillingly gets pressed alot. Also, unwanted down volume change, by pressing of the volume button, can happen in many ways such as in a pocket, carrying it in your hand, passing the phone around, lots of ways. This unwanted down volume change can and does happen on the 1020 while calling, texting, using apps and even during the screen lock mode, and that is with or without the pass code feature enabled. Only time this can't happen is when the phone is completely off and dark. I've searched the posts and don't find anyone else saying this. That doesn't mean it's not a real problem, like for us parents and others. But I know that what I say is correct, to my knowledge, because today an MS WP Community Moderator and also a Lumina Community contributor agreed with what I'm experiencing. This problem has always happened with my 1020 and my previous 920 always did exactly the same type of low volume TRICK. No updates are causing this problem along the way. It's just now that I got fed up enough to confirm within the Communities that there is NO WAY TO LOCK THE RINGER VOLUME on the 1020. I'm ranting about it to you fellow Lumina users. If you experience this, if it bugs you, if you agree that it's more than a mere tech glich nuisance, that it's causing missed calls for family and business, then please post in on this Lumina Community and demand a fix for it. I'm not a phone software expert but I'll bet that a minor software tweek followed by an update, is easily possible. This fix SHOULD be good for existing Lumina models, not just for future ones. I'm gonna work this. It can happen more surely and quickly if those Lumina users who share my concern will post about it. This post is not a critique nor does it infer defects in software or phones. I just want to peel a layer off this onion.

    As far as the phone is locked, the volume key will not function .. so this should not affect the volume level.

    Can anyone shed some light as to why it's not possible to adjust the ringer volume at the lock screen? Even though it's possible to adjust the volume during music playback and responses from Siri, etc.
    Cannot answer that question. That is a decision made by Apple.

    If there was a profile app available in the app store that allowed me to automatically set different volume levels at different times of the day it would be great - particularly if the app didn't require me to jailbreak the phone.
    There would not be an app like that, as they would not have access to the API. You can provide feedback to Apple if you would like to see this enhancement at http://www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

  • Any way to avoid adjusting the ring volume?

    Any way to avoid adjusting the ring volume? Don't know how but after using the phone for a day or two, the ring volume is adjusted. Is it because I adjust the volume of iPod or other apps. Is there a way to fix the ring volume at a constant level and won't be changed until actually changing the ring volume setting itself?
    Anyone?
    Thanks
    Gaston

    The ring volume is seperate from the iPod or 3rd party apps volume. You can have these at seperate levels. As a test, I made sure the ringer volume is at 100%. I started playing a song and lowered the iPod volume to 50%. I stopped the song and checked the ringer volume which remained at 100%.
    There is no lock setting for this. If you adjust the volume when not using the iPod or when not playing a 3rd party app, it will adjust the ringer volume.

  • Can the ring volume be set without the system volume

    I hope this isn't too daft but is it possible to set the ring volume separately from the system volume? I need to run my iPhone very quietly but do not want to miss incoming calls!
    Cheers

    Your volume switches work differently depending on what you are doing. You may get a readout above the "speaker" symbol that appears on the screen telling you what volume is being adjusted.
    If you are not using anything, the volume switches adjust the ringer volume.
    If you are playing music or video, they adjust the music/video volume.
    If your headphones are plugged in, they adjust the headset volume.
    If you are actually on a call, they adjust the earpiece volume or speakerphone volume, whichever you are using (without a readout).
    If you are on a phone call using bluetooth, they adjust the bluetooth volume.

    Hey, Dude, sell it to me already. I'll give you the $200.00 for it, or whatever it is that you paid for the phone, hopefully not the full retail price. My girlfriend wants one really badly, but none of my 3 lines are elgible for an upgrade until next summer. And we will be happy to patiently wait for the Froyo update, as well as Moto's own update to repair the volume issue.
    I'm not kidding....

  • How can I adjust just the ringer volume on an iPhone 4s

    I have the ringer turned way up because I'm in a noisy work environment, but that also increases the volume for the key click, game sounds, etc.  is there a way to only affect the ringer volume?

    An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.

  • Can I remotely turn the ringer volume on so I can find my phone?

    Can I remotely turn the ringer volume back on, so I can find my phone using the "find my phone" ap?  It's nearby, but I don't know where. I think I have an iphone 4???

    Thank you so much.  I did that, and didn't hear it, but when you said it will work even if the ringer is turned off, I did it again, and went outside, and it had fallen out of my bag near my car. I was pretty sure it was in the house because I had already looked outside, but obviously, not where it was.
    Thank you again!

  • Is it possible to lock the keyboard of a client from a server using java

    please explain wheterit is possible to lock the keyboard of a client from a server using java

    You want to process code on one machine, and thereby lock the keyboard on another machine? No, that's not possible. It is extremely far from possible.
    Of course, if the client is running software with security holes in it you might hack into it and crash the thing. This will lock up the keyboard pretty good. I hope that's not what you want ...
    Or are you talking about a setup where you already have code running on the client, and some sort of communication between client and server? In that case what you need to know is whether it is possible to lock the keyboard at all. Once you have figured that out, it is trivial to add the communication code to have the server software tell the client software to lock the keyboard.
    So what do you mean with "lock the keyboard"? It's pretty easy to remove/disable all keyboard related listeners in your own application. It's a lot harder (and AFAIK impossible with pure java) to disable alt-tabbing out of the application. And impossible, except from exploiting security holes, to lock the ctrl-alt-delete-combination on windows machine.

  • Treo800w does not use the ringer volume I have set

    I have my 'Phone: Known Caller' ringer setting set to the standard Treo ring tone that came preinstalled on the Treo800w. I have the 'Ring type' set to Ring but NO matter how high or low I set the ringer volume it only rings at the lowest volume setting when a call comes in.  It's so low that I basicly miss every call. I have tried changing to other ring tones and the same thing happens.  The ringer seems to work correctly when the Ring type is set to 'Increasing Ring' but that starts out so low that it does not increase the ring volume enough before the call goes to voicemail.  I need my ringer to use a relatively high ring tone volume setting.Has anyone else experienced this?  If so, what did you do to resolve it?

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I got a response to this from Paulcalif in another thread: "Have you tried "rebooting" by removing the battery and putting it back in. Try setting the volume all the way up first, then reboot it."
    Lil Red:  This seems to have worked although I still think there is a bug in the software.  If I set the ringer volume to a different volume level the phone does not seem to respond. Oh well, as long as it rings loud then for the most part i'm good to go.

  • Is it possible to lock the Asset after capitalization - GR Posting done

    Hi,
    The Fund Reservation configuration containing with Fund, Fund Centre & Commitment Item is linked with Asset at the time of creation of PR.
    If we change the asset in PR, the new Commitment Item is showing after GR posting.
    At the same time old commitment item is showing through Invoice Posting.
    Is it possible GR reversal after capitalization of Asset ? 
    Invoice raised through FB60 not MIRO.  Hence, Invoice No. details are not shown in PO History.  Payment made and the capitalization impact shown in the Asset Master also.
    Please confirm the following:
    If the open GR (capitalized) in PO - Is it possible to lock the relevant Asset?
    If the open GR (capitalized) in PO - Is it possible to block the PO?
    Expecting few valuable guidelines from MM forum.

  • Is it possible to lock the BPS planning obj in QA or PRD system?

    Hi,
      Is it possible to lock the BPS planning obj in QA or PRD system? We chnage the client setting in SCC4 with no change allowed. But, user can still change or create planning objects in the BPS0. Is any way to lock that?
    Best Regards,
    Jeff

    Jeff,
    You would have to develop specialized role / profile that controls the different planning objects: i.e. transactions, Planning area, planning level, planning functions, etc. 
    We had used a whitepaper or OSS notes in addition to looking at the profile/role for SEM_ALL to start locking down on things...  Might post more when I find my notes.

  • Is it possible to lock the numeric keyboard on the iPad mini so that I do not have to go back to the regular keyboard every time I press the space button?

    Is it possible to lock the onscreen numeric keyboard on the iPad mini so that I do not have to go back to the regular keyboard every time I press the space button?

    Thanks so very much!! You ROCK! I took your second suggestion and went into the iPad settings menu and then into the app. From there I was able to mute the sound effects I wanted. Really appreciate your help.
