I've noticed that the volume buttons don't control the volume right when turning off the single volume control settings in the sound tab. I like this, so the RING volume isn't necesarilly the same as the SYSTEM volume. Switching to the two separate volume levels gives unwanted behaviour in sound level as well as functionality of the volume control buttons, using the Audio tab or during a call. To be more precise:
- when listening to an mp3 on the audio tab, and the screen is off, I can press the vol up/down button, but nothing really happens unless I keep pressing down untill I hit 'silent' mode - and voila presto, the music is gone. Hit vol up once, and it is back at the sound level is was, regardless of how many times I press vol up. If I turn the screen back on, vol up/down work as they should (although I have better control on the screen itself);
- when answering or making a call, volume is at max loudness, regardless of the settings I chose beforehand. Pressing vol down shows it at min loudness on the screen, and therefor doesn't do anything - untill I touch the screen to adjust the volume, and then it suddenly is possible to use a lower setting. Weird and annoying too.
So I'm back to the single volume control untill HTC fixes this.

i would like to be able to hold down the power buttons for a few secs and it display a menu to select profile....ie vibrate, outdoor, silent, off
i would also like to disable the ring bit on the volume control.....is this possible
Pressing the volume key on the side of the phone brings up a quick menu for volume levels (system&ringer) and vibrate, and silent. If you select silent then press the 'up' volume twice it goes back to your original volume level.

i know...its annoying!
thanks for the response.
anyone else got a solution
Has anyone else experienced the failure of the volume up/down switch whilst using the hTC music player and headset?
Having launched a playlist and attached the headphones, you can't turn the volume up or down using the volume buttons on the phone once the phone has entered standby/locked mode. But you can mute the volume by pressing and holding the volume down button, the un-mute by pressing volume up.
Even more annoying is the fact that if you press volume up/down BEFORE the phone goes into standby/locked (so that the volume slider is displayed on the phone screen), the volume up and down DOES work once the phone is in standby mode.
Must be a fix for hTC to release on this one. Its very annoying not to be able to control volume using the phone buttons without having to make sure the volume slider is displayed on the phone first.
Yes, I have noticed this as well, I have the same problem.
It is related to the separate settings for 'system' and 'ring' volume. If you revert back to the single volume setting, the buttons will work in standby.
HTC first told me to do a hard-reset (I did, doesn't help), then asked me to send in the device for repairs. IMO this is a software issue, so sending it in for repairs will do little if nothing to get it fixed. I've yet to receive a reply on that.

Ah right, good to know that at least, thanks. But as you say, its surely easily fix-able with a software patch.
Been looking through my Nexus for some options on this. I would like to have it switch between Vibrate and Loud instead of Silent or Loud. I for one have no use for silent mode. Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? Couldn't find anything on this. Thanks!
There sorta is.
Prese and release the power button to bring up the lock inscreen, then if you hold down volume down + top power buttom for a second or two, it'll go to silent mode. The volume rocker is then active until the screen shuts off. So for those five secs you can adjust the ringer volume. Tape volume up once and it'll take you to vibrate mode.
Same thing to bring back to loudest ringer. Hit the power button to bring up the lock screen then holdVolume up + power for a second or two and it'll go up to highest ringer volume.
Alternatively, just hold down the power buttong to bring up the "Airplane/Silent/Shut down" menu. From there you can hit volume up/down to adjust your ringer. Vibrate is one click up from silent.
Ah. Well that's a shortcut i didnt know. Not exactly what I was hoping for but thanks for the tip!
I hope that this gets changed in an update. I'd like to have the option to switch the phone to vibrate. Kind of like the hardware switch on the Moto Cliq.
Check out the apps from kaa on the market. They work for me to lock the volume keys to my liking.
When pressing volume key up or down, the volume bar is not showing on the screen thus the volume can't be changed,this happened both Ring volume and media volume,I need go to Settings--Sound and Brightness to adjust the volume, any thoughts?
My N1 is rooted and with CM 5.0.4.1 rom
I bought the nexus 4 recently and I've been in love with it ever since.
But.
When I play music, the on screen volume controls don't work. The physical keys on the side work fine.
But the on screen volume control defect vanishes when I'm on a call. When im on a call, I can vary the volume on the screen itself.
However, in the settings, I can change the master volume and that's it.
What can I do to make the on screen volume controls work again?
