Ringer volume on Lumia 640

On my (well my wife's, but I'm setting it up) shiny new Lumia 640. the volume rocker changes the ringer volume when the phone is is normal mode - start screen etc.

This is very inconvenient. The phone can be dropped into a bag while in this mode - and then the volume changes from minor random bumps. Thr changes can result in missed calls as the phone becomes silent.

And also, it's not actually very convenient when I do want to change the volume! I'd prefer to change it while listening to the ringtone so I know what I am choosing. This worked on old phones, but the Lumia's ringtone changing menu does not have a volume entry.

So, is there any way I can disable the volume change from random presses of the rocker? And is there any way I can enable changing the volume while listening to the ringtone?

Re: Ringer volume on Lumia 640

Hmm, I haven't come across this issue. Does your wife have double tap to wake enabled on her phone? If so, she can consider turning it off as an option. Something that I do personally is that with Glance enabled (and set to peek) is that I use the power button to lock the screen before putting it in my purse. That's just what I do, but someone else might have a better idea over my own.
