I assume this behaviour may tie to the very lowest levels of the software - those keys do double duty as watchdog/reboot triggers, so even in very deep sleep, they probably do need to actually wake up the device in some cases.
Of course, either the lower levels or 'unity' should filter them in this case, and not trigger a volume change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1291458 Title: Volume buttons change ringtone volume when screen is off Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu UX: Fix Committed Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This is a rather bigger topic for user experience design, but one thing that should at least happen asap is volume buttons should be disabled when screen is off, otherwise your you-thought-silenced-phone suddenly blares a ring tone.
