App to lock ringer volume?

[jbsangel]

volume control works good for locking the volume.

silent mode jammer is a good one that will lock your phone to vibrate whenever the ringer volume is set to silent. i prefer to use this over volume control because i use settings profile to turn my ringer off automatically when Im at work.

Hmm ring guard doesnt seem to stay on for me, and when it is on, doesnt work when some apps are open..

Its really poor design, the only way I want to access my ringer volume is through the system settings, it would be nice if motorola/google would disable the ringer volume from the home screens.

Maye some clever coder could write an app that would do just that.

Astokes, this is exactly what I'm looking for. Has there been an app that has been created since the time of your post that allows users to only access ringer volume through the systems settings?

Smart Volume Free works well for me.

Smart Volume works well on my Moto Droid, but I do wish the icon didn't occupy the Notification Bar all the time - thankfully, what the manufacturer's seem to screw up, developers seem to repair!

I'll throw my app in the ring, "Volume Locker" by HourDB -- let me know if you have any suggestions for it or find issues.

Features:
- Unobtrusive (doesn't pop up over top an app, uses a notification instead -- also doesn't sit in your tray like a lot of the others)
- Customizable/flexible (ringtone/vibrate/color LED/etc); Ignore Google Nav, disable during locked screen (great for setting profiles, locale, and other timer-based apps)
- Multiple locks (ringer/notification/call volume/etc)
- Efficient. We limit our polling and mutex locks to prevent battery drain. Also a ton of stuff is cached.
