Possible to lock phone volume/ringtone?

Hello, is it possible to lock the ringtone and volume settings on a specific line on the 79XX series phones? As an example, I would like to add a line used for emergencies only to specific phones but lock the ringtone and volume on it so individual user's local phone settings would not override it.
Thanks,
-J

Hi Jeremiah,
I'll just add this tech note to the tips from my friend Manish (+5)
Q.    How do I prevent the user from changing the ring volume and network   configuration on IP phones?
A. Users are unable to change the ring volume if you disable the Settings       Access parameter on the Phone configuration page. Complete these steps:
From the Cisco CallManager Administration page, choose             Device > Phone, and click the phone for which you want to             prevent a ring volume change.
Choose Disabled for the Settings Access parameter             under the Product Specific Configuration section.
When Settings Access is enabled, you can change the phone network       configuration, ring type, and volume on the phone. When you disable Settings       Access, the Settings button is completely disabled and no options appear when       you press the button. Also, you cannot adjust the ringer volume or save any       volume settings. The option Restricted is available in Cisco CallManager       version 4.1(3) and later. When you change Settings Access to Restricted, you       can only access User Preferences and volume settings. By default, Settings       Access is enabled.

  • Is it possible to lock the volume buttons on my iPod Touch?

    Something is forcing the volume down button on my iPod down all the time. Because the volume is constantly being turned down the volume square is always up in the middle of my iPod. Rather than having to replace the whole volume down button or the whole iPod, is there a way to simply lock the volume buttons on the side of the iPod?

    There is no way to lock them. I would work through the general troubleshooting outlined here to rule out the possibility of a software, although it sounds more like a hardware one.

  • Problems with Phone Volume (Ringtone) with iPhone 3G and v20

    It seems with then new iPhone 3G and/or version 2.0 that everytime my phone either is turned off or sleep mode activated, it always resets my phone volume to about 50%. I always have to manually turn the ringer volume up each time. Ive restored the phone and it continues to do so. Any thoughts?????

    I have had a similar problem with my original iPhone and have not yet figures out how to fix it.

  • Can I lock the volume curve to the track so it moves with the track?

    I can't seem to move the volume curve when I move the section or track. Is it possible to lock the volume curve to the track or section? Otherwise I have to recreate the curve for that section or track which seems so completely inefficient that I can't imagine that is how it is supposed to be done.
    Thank you!

    here, this should help:

  • Possible to Lock Volume Control on OS X?

    Our lab will be using a Mac Mini to run some sound perception experiments. It's critical for the sound volume level to be maintained at a pre-determined known setting such that subjects taking part in the experiment can't adjust it.
    I know that I can use System Preferences to turn off the volume icon in the Status Bar, but other than taking apart a keyboard to physically disable the F11/F12 function keys, is there some way to lock the volume at a particular setting?
    Thanks,
    Elmer

    Glad it's working - for future information, SMB is actually a way to connect to Windows servers. If that's what you did, it's very likely that you actually have a Windows server there at work.
    You can, also, use ftp:// either in a browser or using cmd-K in the Finder (eg ftp://user:password@ftpserveraddress) and this will open a window onto the server with download-only access (you won't be able to send files to it).

  • Lost Mode and Play Sound are "Pending."  However, iCloud indicates that it connected and backed up to iCloud at a date that is 1 week after it went missing.  How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)

    Hi,
    My wife lost her iPhone two weeks ago while on vacation in London (cell service inoperative in foreign country).  Using Find My iPhone app on my device, I activated Lost Mode and Play Sound.  However, both are listed as "Pending," since it those actions require the phone to connect to the internet (wifi only due to no cellular data coverage.).
    We recently returned home and purchased a new iPhone.
    However, when looking to restore the apps/settings from her old phone using a previous iCloud backup, iCloud indicates that the old phone connected to iCloud and backed up the original phone at a date that is 1 week after it went missing.  How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)?
    If the phone was activated and connected to the internet via a wifi signal, shouldn't it immedately lock, show up on the map, Play Sound, and send me an email that the phone has been found?
    I also read somewhere that if running iOS 7, the iCloud website interface enables you to track previous locations, for instance if the phone moves from wifi hotspot to hotspot.  Is that true?  If so, how do I do that?
    Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
    Sincerely,
    - Matt

    just giving this a wee bump as time is of the essence here and i need advice/ answers quick!
    apologies if i've broke any rules!

  • HT5312 How can I get an activation locked phone to its original owner?

    I recently purchased an iPhone 5 on eBay that was locked with the apple logo on it (As told by the seller who said he purchased it from someone else.  So I had expectations of a possible Activation lock on the phone).  When I reset the phone, I found out that it was indeed Activation locked.  I have sent the seller a reply asking him to see if he can get his customer to unlock the phone (doubtful. It was probably stolen).  So my question is:  What is the purpose of activation lock if someone can not retrieve their old phone and their is no way to "indirectly" get in contact with the old owner through Apple to say, " Hey, I got your stolen or lost phone."  It seems more like a way to just say, "Huh, you got my phone, butnice try sucker."  Chances are that eventually an honest person might come across the phone and try to return it instead of being stuck with an expensive paper weight.  I did try to get a hold of someone at Apple to ask this question but I guess the line got dropped when I did not have $20.  I have left the phone on in the remote chance that they might try to locate it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi fmclemore,
    You have the overall idea of what is behind the Activation Lock. It is there primarily to deter thieves from seeing iPhones as an attractive target. If they can't use the device, it is pretty much not worth stealing it.
    People who have Find My iPhone activated do have the ability to see their phone if it comes back online. They also have the abiity to erase the device or to put a lock on it with a message. So keeping it on may be helpful for the owner. Hopefully they will put a message on it so you can contact them.
    Also, you can turn it into the Police if they will take it. Oftentimes people go there to see if they can retrieve their merchandise.
    You really should return it to the Seller for a refund. Where it came from or who the previous owner is should not be your issue. Remember, eBay has Buyer Protection with a money back guarantee, so if the device is unusable becuase the seller did not ensure that it was, you should be able to get your money back through eBay if the Seller isn't cooperating:

    Sorry you got stuck with a brick. But, again, the Activation Lock is there for the owner's protection. I would love to know the statistics for the theft rate of iPhones after the implementation of Activation Lock....
    Best of luck,

    Thanks for the responses, they have been very illuminating!
    This is very disappointing from The Carphone Warehouse. If they had mentioned this when I went into their stores, I wouldn't have completed the purchases. I bought two phones at separate outlets and neither of them told me this.
    I have been in contact with T-Mobile already as I thought they had sneakily applied a software update that locked the phone. They have denied locking it and suggest that it is something that Apple do. Their solution was a factory reset.
    I have a call logged with Apple this afternoon, so will see what they suggest. Hopefully they will give me something that I can take to The Carphone Warehouse or T-Mobile.

    Hi Eslam El-Gammal,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that after resetting your iPhone, you are being prompted for Apple ID information that is not yours. This can happen if an iPhone is restored without turning off the Find My Phone feature. For more information on this, please refer to the attached article.

    Apple will never release personal information about you or anyone else to any consumer.  It is your responsibility to verify the device before purchasing it if you choose to go through a third party.  Recommendation: Buy Apple products from an authorized reseller.
    You are experiencing Activation Lock.  If the previous owner will not remove the device from their account there is nothing you can do unless the place you purchased it from will give you a refund.
    Activation Lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5818
    What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
    Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.
    How do I check for Activation Lock before purchasing a used device?
    When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.
    Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
    Turn the device on and slide to unlock.If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
    Begin the device setup process.After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in to icloud.com/find. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account.
    You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process.

  • Since update yesterday my speaker phone volume is real low

    Since updated my Galaxy 5 on yesterday the speaker phone volume is real low..anyone else experiencing this or know whats going on? I haven't had this phone 3 weeks and now this....

        We want to see you enjoying the update on your new phone, stina34. Are ringtones and other audio like music still playing at the same level as before the update? While on a call, have you tried to adjust the volume up and down? Is the call volume when not using speaker phone still at a louder level?

  • I had my unlocked iPhone 4 replaced by apple with a refirb and am pretty sure they've issued me with a locked phone. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Hello all
    I had my damaged unlocked iPhone 4 replaced by apple with a refirb model and am pretty sure they've issued me with a locked phone.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Is Apple aware that they are refirbing but not unlocking phones?
    Cheers
    Ty

    It is entirely possible that the human you spoke with at Apple simply made a mistake.  You do realize that humans make mistakes, correct?
    Take the device back to the store along with any documents you have stating it is or is supposed to be unlocked and let them clear it up.
    This all assumes the device was unlocked by the carrier and not some shady website or local electronics store.

  • How do you increase the voicemail volume on an iPhone 4s ( Verizon ). The phone volume is fine. It is when I retrieve voicemails. Even the speakerphone is faint. I have adjusted the side volume buttons and the volume control in settings.What am I missing?

    How do I increase the voicemail volume on an iPhone 4s ( Verizon )? The phone volume is fine. I have adjusted both side volume buttons as well as the volume control in settings.

    Number one - that person has given you false information...the Apple store genius bar supports all Apple products whether in or out of warranty.  Checking is free, service on an out of warranty item is not free.
    Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    Since you show that you have iOS 7.0.3 you might want to update that iOS to 7.0.4...plug the iPhone in so you are on a solid power source, then while on a WiFi go to Settings > General > Software Update and update to 7.0.4.

  • 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.
