Sorry no.

Setting the Sounds> Change with Buttons" to off position doe NOT lock my volume controls on upper left side of my phone. ??

Thank You for the info.

Mom has issues with shaky hands and every time she picks up the phone the ringer tends to get adjusted by accident. So I was looking for a solution to this small issue and it seems that you have helped me with the answer.

Thank You very much.

S.

If you disable the "Change with buttons" setting, the buttons will still control the general volume (music, games, etc) but will NOT change the ringer or alarm sound settings (keyboard clicks also fall into this category but is not mentioned). This lets you use the volume up/down buttons to change the general volume level without changing the ringer and alarm volume levels...it keeps you from inadvertently turning down the ringer or alarm volume and missing calls and alarms.

That being said, there's no way to totally disable the volume up/down buttons from doing something volume related.

There is no method to lock them, however you do have the option to turn off the volume buttons if you like in Settings. Go to Settings>Sounds, and turn off the option to change with Buttons.

Thanks for clearing that up. Never would have presumed that this setting had such limitations. I shall grab my phone more carefully.
