iPhone Volume Lock

no, this functionality is not available. there is no 'hold' button on the iPhone, and as the other poster discussed, you can change the volume while playing music and the screen is locked, but no other time. 99% of the users would find that the iPhone would be incredibly annoying to use if you had to take it out of your pocket just to change the volume levels.

can you adjust your arm band so it is not so close to the volume level controls?

karenvb, i have a Sena case for my iPhone, and i have never accidentally changed the controls while walking, working out, etc. i also grab my iPhone by the front and back when taking it out, so i don't hit the volume controls at all.

When the iPhone is locked and not being used, the volume button is locked so the ringer volume is not lowered inadvertently.

If you are listening to music while the iPhone is locked, the volume button is not locked and this is by design so you can lower or raise the volume without having to unlock the iPhone.

Is there a way to lock the volume when listening to music as is possible with the Hold button on iPods? When I'm on my walks, I almost always inadvertently turn the music way up by knocking the button when I'm taking the phone out of my pocket.

I love it when people make up statistics to justify their argument. And thats the other thing, why is it an argument. It is a genuine request. This is my first day with my iphone 3gs and its a lovely little phone so far, has its good and bad bits like every other phone. I plugged my headphones in on the way home from work and put it in my pocket only to find that if i wasnt careful the volume went up and down. (no i havent got a case) So how about a hmmm yeh I can see your point and maybe a function to disable the hardware volume if the user so desired would be a good feature!

I have the exact same problem. So perhaps a setting to allow the user to also lock the volume controls would be nice.

For me, it's when riding my bike. I tried keeping it in the front pocket and the back pocket of my jeans, but neither avoids the volume controls beeing presed ocasionally 😟
