You can set it up so that a single press on the power button will enable the volume buttons when the screen is locked.

You still need to press the power button and then the volume button, but that's still simpler than going through a full unlock, and it prevents accidental volume adjustments.

This was how it worked on the first firmware that shipped, but it's been disabled for some reason...

See this thread:

Or just follow the instructions qwerty12 posted there:

This will restore the old behaviour, with the exception that you can't actually see the volume slider on the screen anymore (when it is showing the "slide to unlock" screen, that is). The buttons will have no effect when the screen is off.
Works like a charm
