Volume controls have apparently been worked on in the latest 1.5.8 version of activator, however, some noticeable defects struck me as being quite intrusive:

1. Volume[Up/Down]HoldShort - waits for the exact specified time (~1sec) until providing the desired function HOWEVER immediately reverts to upping or lowering volume at an infuriating rate! Give us some time to take our finger off the bloddy buttons will ya! as in VolumeButtonHoldMoreThan(1sec) => Action => wait(1 sec) => exit.

2. Volume[DownUp/UpDown] - the very first move, whether pressing volumeUp or volumeDown DOES INFACT lower or augment the volume before the desired action takes place! Could you please add a method/function so that it reverts the volume level back to its original level? As in (event) => [Decrement/Increment]VolumeAccordingly => exit.

This is infact my first time posting on these forums/code blogs, for the sole purpose of perfecting my iPhone and getting rid of these infuriating little annoyances that hinder my listening to music.

Your app works wonders but another feature I'd like to see is volume controls while the device screen is off? As in start music, let's say, from idle, if that's possible (which I'm assuming is not).
