Volume Wheel Fault/Issues Anyone?

I'm a proud UK new owner of an ipad (64GB wifi+3G), which like most of us, I find astonishing and already fell in love with it after just ten minutes use.
But I have one small problem: I cannot get the volume wheel on the side of the device to work properly.
No matter what way i turn it, up or down, it always turn the volume UP!
Pressing it inwards appears sometimes to mute the volume, but the only way i can reduce the volume down is to go into either the on screen volume (if I'm using the ipod or Video apps) or into the Sounds setting in the Settings app if I am running an app with built in sound which has no volume adjuster built into it.
Am i doing something wrong,or has anyone else experienced this problem?
And ideas or suggestions please?
Thanks

If you are pressing the top of the volume rocker (not a wheel) to increase volume and the bottom to decrease volume then you are not doing anything wrong.
If you are trying to spin it like a wheel, then yes. That is wrong.

[SOLVED][Toshiba Laptop] Volume Wheel never stops generating events

I have this volume wheel on my laptop which I like to use to control the volume of the audio on my laptop. However I run into a problem:
The Good => Using xev I verified that It does generate keypress and keyrelease events (two different ones for either up or down). I would still have to remap those to XF86VolumeLower and such...
The Bad => Once I turn the wheel I keep getting keypress/keyrelease events continously even after I've stopped turning it...
The Ugly = > this makes it completely not usable.
Anyone seen this problem before? I googled around, most people seemed to have a problem getting events from volume wheels...
Edit:
Sorry for editing such an old post. This got fixed in udev-159-1.

I'm still having this issue running the latest kernel and xorg. Since the event seems to be reported by xorg, would this most likely be a xorg bug or misconfiguration (and such should I report it as a bug to xorg)?

G20 - Problems with volume wheel

My volume wheel isn't working as it should, when i'm trying to turn the volume down, it jumps up again. same when turning up, it's jumping down. To turn it up or down i have to turn and turn and turn before it moves. If I'm turning the sound up its like it's moving 1 up, 1 down, 1 up, 1 down, 2 up, 1 down... and so on.
Does anyone have any solution for this problem? It's like this in Qosmio player and Windows.

Hi again
I am not technician but according to your explanation I believe that there is mechanical problem with volume control dial. On this way we can just speculate but just intensive check can give you an precise answer.
In my opinion you should contact Toshiba service partner in your country and explain them the situation. Sorry but I dont see any other solution.
If the warranty is still valid the repair will be for free. If you need ASP address you can find it under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true
Bye and good luck!

1610HD Blank screen causes Color wheel fault

When I use the blank screen function on the projector, the screen blanks with the message
"Press Blank again..." for about 30 seconds or so. I then see the lamp turn off and the two amber lights flashing on top indicating a problem with the color wheel. Power cycling the projector restores operation until the screen is blanked again. Does anyone else have a problem with the screen blanking feature causing a color wheel fault?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Using volume wheel

I have a volume wheel on my laptop and an trying to configure the system to use it to change the volume. I use ratpoison as a GUI, does anyone know how to bind the volume wheel?

Why can't you use xev in ratpoison?
Anyways, I messed up in my previous post, the configuration should be:
definekey top XF86AudioLowerVolume exec amixer -q set Master 1- unmute
definekey top XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec amixer -q set Master 1+ unmute
See the wiki if this still doesn't work: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Extra_Keyboard_Keys.

Volume wheel on Toshiba Portege M700-S7005X doesn't work

I had to reinstall windows on my computer, and everything works perfect, except for the fact that my volume wheel no longer does anything. I have to adjust volume using the system slider. Anyone know how to get my wheel working again? Thanks!

Thanks for your answers so far.
@Xaver:
No I have win 7 clean install (instead of Vista), which is the reason I tried the workaround I linked to.
@nifer:
No yellow bangs in the device manager, and, even more important only one entry called something like "Toshiba virtual modem" under "modem" in the device managaer (I thinkthat the four entrys for the 3g moduldrivers should be under "modem" in the device manager)
- Is it possible to check this powerrail without having to disassemble the whole notebook? Where is the modul located?
@xardas: I think it has, at least the guy who sold me the (used) notebook said so. The model Number begins with ppm70e, which I believe is the specific model of m700. There also is a sticker with a "wireless WAN IMEI" and a number at the backside and a slot for the sim-card behind battery-pack, which both would be very suspicious for a notebook not having a 3G modul.

NOKIA BH-111 : Increase volume using volume wheel ...

Hello,
My name is Sonus Sundar, Last month I bought Nokia BH-111 bluetooth headset. After using it for a month, Now I am not able to increase the volume of the device with the volume wheel.
I increased the volume in phone to its extent. But when I hear it from the blutooth it is twice as low as I connect the headphone directly to the phone using the headphone jack.
But there is no other issue in connecting the device or charging it.

Okay, have this little sucker so I'll answer it for myself. RDS doesnt seem to have support for radio text, it only displays names of radio stations, btw. FM reception seems to be very good.
No problems with Nokia N80. Can even stream music from phone to the headset in stereo mode, but the quality isnt very good, apparently because of bluetooth 1.1 spec of the phone.
Havent tried much FM radio recording, but after starting recording software phone makes active connection with the headset which stops to play radio and switches to "voice" mode.
Pairing after turning on the unit takes only few seconds.

Bizarre phone fault - can anyone shed more light t...

We have recently moved into a rented house and switched to BT from day one as there was a special offer phone/broadband/TV package. But we have an odd phone fault and wondered if anyone had experienced similar?
We have a main socket which is different from any shown on BT website, with two identical slots each labelled "BT exchange line", each with a sticker with a different number (does not seem to be a phone number): the socket looks a few years old and the stickers have an obsolete customer service phone number on them.
We can plug a phone into one of the slots and it works and we have also now plugged the BT hub into the same slot via a splitter - that also works. The other slot is dead, so we assume it might be two separate phone lines.
But the main socket is in our daughter's bedroom so we need to use the various extensions in the house - we also need to connect our BT hub near the TV.
When we plug a phone into any of the extensions we get a dialling tone and can dial but when we get to the eighth digit (always the eighth) of whatever number we try we get "the number you have dialled has not been recognised".
After going through the BT faults site (no use as our main socket is not shown there and there is no reference to a similar fault with the extensions) we rang BT and got the call centre, which was frankly no help. They did not recognise this fault and seemed to have no technical knowledge at all. I asked to speak to an engineer and was told (I quote) "this facility is not offered" - this is clearly unsatisfactory (in fact, utterly stupid), our previous phone company always had experts on the end of the line if necessary and they twice helped us to sort out problems in a few minutes with no need for call out.
But BT said, very unhelpfully, that the only way they could help would be if, rather than a two minute phone chat, we called out an engineer for which we would be charged £129.99 if the fault turned out to be beyond the master socket. We had no way of knowing whether this was the case in advance (neither could the call centre operative enlighten us), given that the extensions DO seem to be connected to the line (as we have dialling tones), just not working for reasons that may or may not be to do with the main phone line or the way BT has connected our number.
Obviously £129.99 is a ridiculous call out charge for what could be two minutes work. It also seemed suprising that BT could not immediately access a record of what sockets were installed by BT itself in the house and that the call centre seemed never to have encountered before the type of socket we have. And that BT then advised us "to contact a local engineer" - should not BT have local engineers, we live near Reading so hardly the back of beyond?
In fact, even more bizarrely, a BT engineer, local or not, had already visited WITHOUT an appointment a few days previously after we had first contacted BT to say the phones were not working properly and phoned us from outside asking for access to the house....but this was during a period when we had notified BT in three separate ways (phone, text and e-mail) that we would be away.....
All in all we are mystified by the nature of the fault - if anyone on this forum has experienced similar, it would be great to hear about it - and equally so by BT's response to it and by its apparent policy that no-one with any expertise should speak to us about it without a £129.99 charge - hardly the way to welcome and retain new customers in what is now a competitive market! After a forceful complaint it seems that we will now be able to talk to someone other than the call centre....but not clear whether this will be a qualified engineer and getting this far has already taken hours of our time.

Sounds like you have a LJU4.... In the early to late 90's when people got dial up BB a lot of them took a second line, so they could use phone/internet at the same time......
To stop people requiring two overhead cables from the pole and two different NTE's BT created the Drop Wire 10b, a 2 pair aerial cable. Orange/White pair 1 and Green/Black pair 2. They then did the double socket, LJU4 so you wouldn't need 2 separate sockets....
I would imagine the LJU4 would be your *Master Socket* and the others would just be extensions off it.... That's just my opinion though, without actually seeing the wiring setup I couldn't say....
Can you get a pic of the socket and a pic of the wiring behind it?

I just upgraded to the new iTunes 12.0.1, and I can't sync it to my Airport Express. I noticed the Airply icon is just the volume control. Is anyone having this problem?

I recently upgraded to Yosemite and got the new iTunes as well. However, the new iTunes 12.0.1 doesn't offer me the option to connect to my Airport Express. The Airplay icon on the interface is just the volume control. Does anyone know how to connect?

Sure...

It sounds like the Podcast's playback speed was changed. You can change it by tapping the podcast artwork, locating the speed control that can be found under the right side of the scrubber bar. Then adjust as needed.

[SOLVED] Volume Wheel on Laptop Not Working

Hello everyone, installed arch for the first time a couple days ago and have pretty much everything setup to the way I like. However, I can't seem to find how to get my laptop's volume wheel to work. Sliding the wheel simply doesn't do anything.
I've looked around on the wikis and haven't been able to find anything.

Cannot connect iphone 5 to Parrot, battery is terrible and volumes are low? Anyone else got the same issues?

so these seem to be my issues with the phone so far. no matter what i try with my Parrot handsfree the phone will not connect. The general volumes of the phone seem lower than the iphone4, especially when using the new earphones. And i cant say im that impressed with the battery life. Today i made 2 phone calls, updated a facebook status and listened to one album on spotify, this resulting in a pretty much dead battery? doesnt seem right to me considering apple advertised the battery life being able to handle many hours of youtube streaming over 3G?

Ok, this is good info. It means that right now Apache is not able to serve content outside of your machine. That's why even the native browser can't see your site. Once we get that problem solved you should be able to see the site in Edge Inspect as well.
Here's some things to try:
This might be because your firewall is blocking port 8888. Try turning off your firewall temporarily and see if http://192.168.2.4:8888/yogaFest2013/ works from the native browser on your device
Open a terminal window and type in the following: netstat -an | grep "LISTEN" and let me know what it says
Open your httpd.conf file and look for a section like this:
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
Listen 80
Let me know what your's looks like.
