Volume Button: On-Screen Keys

Volume Button puts a volume button on screen, so you can turn the sound up or down with one tap instead of the side keys. It is a simple volume control that floats over any app: two small keys, + and −, that you can drag anywhere and forget about until you need them. It is made for phones with a broken volume button, a sticky key or a case that makes the side keys hard to press. The app does not repair hardware; it replaces a broken key with on-screen buttons that change the same volume levels. Think of it as a volume key fix that needs no tools. It also works as an assistive volume control for anyone who finds small side keys awkward. How it works • Switch the buttons on, allow display over other apps, and a floating volume bar appears at the edge of the screen. • Tap + or − to change media volume, just like the side keys. • Drag the bar anywhere. It remembers its spot, even when you rotate the screen. • The window is exactly the size of the buttons, so the rest of the screen stays usable. • Choose the button size, opacity, a vertical or horizontal layout, and an optional third button that mutes media. All your sound levels in one place • Hold either button to open a panel with a volume slider for each sound. • Media and ring sliders, a mute switch for media, and ringer mode (Sound, Vibrate or Silent) are free. • Alarm, call and notification sliders are part of Premium. • The same volume slider panel is in the app too. Stays out of your way • The floating volume keys step aside while the keyboard is open, so they never cover what you type. • They also hide during full-screen videos and games, then come back on their own. Both can be switched off in Settings. More ways to reach your volume control • A notification with −, + and Show/Hide. • A Quick Settings tile to switch the on-screen keys on or off from anywhere. • A home-screen widget with + and − for media volume. • The buttons come back after the phone restarts, if you want them to. Free vs Premium Free, with no time limit: • The floating bar with + and −, dragging, size, opacity, layout and the mute button. • Media and ring sliders, mute, and ringer mode. • Auto-hide, the notification controls, the Quick Settings tile and the widget. Premium adds: • No ads anywhere in the app. • Alarm, call and notification sliders, for all five sound levels. • Six extra colors, including a see-through Glass style, for the buttons and the home-screen widget. Premium is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled and can be managed or cancelled anytime in Google Play. Permissions and privacy • Display over other apps: needed to draw the floating volume keys over other apps. • Notifications (Android 13 and later): used for the controls notification. The buttons still work if you say no. • Do Not Disturb access: requested only if you pick Silent, because Android treats Silent as a Do Not Disturb change. Sound and Vibrate never need it. • Run at startup: brings the buttons back after a restart. You can turn this off. • Vibration: a short tap feel when you press a button. You can turn this off. • Internet: used for ads, Google Play purchases, and anonymous crash reports and usage statistics. • No accessibility service, no account, and the app never reads what is on your screen. Good to know • If you were searching for a volume key fix, this app works around the problem rather than repairing it: you get a working volume button on screen until your broken volume button is repaired. • As an assistive volume tool it uses the same levels as the side keys; your speaker is unchanged. • Android hides floating buttons on some system screens, such as permission prompts, so the keys cannot appear there. • Some phones close background apps to save battery. The app shows you how to keep the buttons running. Questions or ideas? Leave a review on Google Play, we read every one.
