##ICON_NAME## Volume Buttons Disable is a hack that does exactly what the title says… disables your volume buttons. As soon as you install the hack, and your device resprings, the volume buttons on the side of your device will no longer work. I’m not exactly sure why you would want this but… there’s a hack for that!

If for some reason you do install this hack, you can always adjust your volume using the SBSettings Volume Slider Widget which allows you to quickly adjust your volume via a slider in SBSettings.

I have tested the mod and it does work. When you uninstall the mod you do get your volume button functionality back… good thing! You can get Volume Buttons Disable via the modmyi source.

    Here’s one use…. I have an old 2G iPhone which fell and now has a small dent next to the volume button causing the down button to be activated all the time and thus turning the ringer off. This software disables it and now i can hear my calls again.

    @theiphonerocks…. I bought a replacement back cover from truesupplier.com last week for $39.90 which incl. the volume switch. It’s not original Apple, but looks fine. I will be installing it in a few days. I’ll comment here if there are problems.

    What a great hack. With the phone bouncing around in my pocket , the volume sometimes ends up at zero with me knowing.

    Might be a good thing for me as I seem to be addicted to keep randomly pressing the volume button lots haha

    BEST…CYDIA…HACK….EVER!

    Well at least for me! Can’t understand why nobody did it sooner. My iPhone’s Volume Button has been broken for the past year and a half (and from my searches on the net this appears to be a none too uncommon problem). Didn’t have the guts to open it up so was stuck with an annoying ‘ringer’ logo every 5 seconds. But even before the buttons were broken I would always accidentally press em, which was just as annoying.

    In other words this is a simple app that makes a big difference. Big thankyou to the developer (nathulal?). I would send you a thankyou note but can’t seem to find your contact details…anyway if you happen to stumble across this blog post please take this as a much deserved thank you note :)

    THANK YOU!!!!
