    I've found that it's easy to hit the volume rocker and silence my Droid by mistake. But the rocker switch is more convenient than going into an app, or even tapping a widget, so I don't want to use any of the volume control apps I've seen. I wrote a new app called RingGuard, which is on the Market for free. It's been well-received on a couple of the other Droid sites. Here's the description:

    Guard against unintended ring volume change, while allowing normal use of volume rocker switch.

    When volume is changed, a confirmation dialog pops up. Can confirm on screen, or with hard keys. After a configurable timeout, volume is restored to original setting.

    Tested on Motorola Droid.

    Very nice app. This will be nice to have when I'm in class. A lot of the times when I pull my phone to text I accidentally push the volume up key so that the ringer turns on. This will prevent my ringer from going off in class. Thank you very much.
