At the same time, we don't want to just disable the hardware buttons when the device is locked, because they're often used to change volume of the music (for instance) while the device is in your pocket.
What I agree with, is that we should have a setting that prevents the ringer/alarm volume to be affected by volume hw keys while the device is locked (while still affecting media/video/apps volume!). I think iOS, for instance, has this feature. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1476851 Title: [MX4] Hardware Volume Control Buttons active when screen off Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The hardware volume control buttons seem to be always active, even if the screen is off, or if the device is locked. If not a bug, this seems a very poor UI design, and needs at least a user configuration option. It's very easy to turn the ringing volume down or off without knowing it has been done.
