Develop Bugs

Extremely low keypress sound

Even with the media volume to the max, my ear has to literally be on the speaker to hear the slightlest sound from the keyboard. This must be a bug, right?

Key press sounds are tied to phone ringer/notification volume, nit media volume.

With all volumes to the max, the keyboard is still silent

bump....any solutions
Never mind, downloaded audioguru, turned up system sounds now it's more audible. The system volume can't be set more to the minimum by default.

So you have to download a 3rd party app to make a $700 phone work correctly ?

No, but if you want to have your key tones louder it helps. Brand new phone, brand new OS...bound to be some bugs.
But yeah, the phone is useless without loud key tones.

thanks for this.. thought I was losing my marbles

I've had concerns about the volume on this device since i got it last week.
All tones and ringers are ridiculously low.
I tried the suggested audioguru app and have noticed a slight increase in ringer volume but thats about all.
Im surprised the forums are not flooded with posts about the low volume on the nexus.

Volume+ (Sound Boost)

Speaker volume is too quiet on galaxy nexus?
Fyi..
Volume+ works great and boosts the audio no probs. Just go up a level at a time.

Make sure you are getting Volume+ and not Volume Control +

Do you have to be rooted for Volume+ to work?
i tried to use that on my transformer and it never worked.

Hang on a second...
Are you talking about "Volume+ Free" or "Volume++"? Two different apps by 2 different devs.

anyone found one that works?

This one works for me.
Audio Manager also works for me and was the first application I used. I found that system volume was at level 2 out of 7 and it was almost as if the system volume setting is hidden within ICS actual settings.
However, even after setting it to 7/7; it still wasn't loud enough. This is why I installed Volume+ as above.

cheers.. ill give them a go

Will using one of these apps to boost the volume eventually damage the speakers? Or why is installing an app for this necessary?
The default maximum volume on the speakers is ridiculously low.
I tried Volume+ Free. This free version limits the boost to +4 instead of the max +7, but +4 seems to make a huge difference already. And it seems to work even though the installer says it only works on Android 2.3.

Do we need root for this volume apps?

I've had my GN for about 3 hours now and the ring tone volume was the very first thing I tried out, just to see just how loud it was. It was pretty low. I promptly purchased this app and it has brought up the volume to a more than acceptable level. The phone is actually loud now.
I currently have it set to 9 in volume+. I can't imagine going all the way up to 15 as it's loud enough. What did you raise yours to?
Great App! Worth the money.

Ditto on Volume+...so much louder!

I had to get the paid version because it seemed like the free one didn't make any noticeable effect in the ringtone volume for me on my GNexus. I've currently got it set at 9 on Volume+ and that finally seems to have made it loud enough for me (but I still have to crank the phone's volume almost to the max to have it loud enough to hear in noisy areas).

Doesn't do anything for me. Tried the paid version turned all the way up +15, makes no difference in volume...

+1. No difference.

Ive noticed when you crank it past 9 it doesn't work, maybe a safety feature to ensure your speaker doesn't blow.. try it on 8 and 9

Speaker volume is one of the things I am nervous about on the Nexus, I do use my phone as a alarm clock and speakerphone during conference calls. I've seen quite a few reviews where the reviewer thought the speaker was too quiet. At least it's comforting to know the volume can be boosted to an acceptable level for some people using software. I wonder if the VZW version will offer any improvements in this area.

It's a quirky little App. You have to keep trying it. There were a couple times where it stopped working for me, then when I came back later on it was working again.
Here's what to do, open up a song in your music player so you have something playing in the background. Then open up Volume+ & enable speaker modifications. Now try changing the volume levels. Go from like 3 to 8, if it's working you will notice a change instantly. If it doesn't work, try rebooting and/or un/re-installing and trying again. As others have said, I can set the volume all the way up to 10 maybe even 11, but any higher and nothing will happen. So don't over do it and hit 15 cause you won't notice any difference.
Honestly, without this app this phone would have been close to deal break territory for me.

Volume+ (Sound Boost) temp anecdote for low speaker volume issue!!

The exact search term is " Volume+ (Sound Boost) " in the android market . You can copy & paste that into the android market search field minus the quotation marks. The free version doesn't have sound boost in it's title and the volume level won't go up high enough. In preferences in the app, you need to be able to select somewhere between 8-10. Too low, nothing and too high doesn't work either.
Very important, when you download the app for the first time, there is quick one time visual tutorial. Do everything exactly what it says to do, if not, won't work. If you can take screen shots of the directions, your better off. After that one time, you would have to un—install and than re—install to see it again. It only comes up right after the initial install.
The only variance is your volume number in the preferences . Test, if it's working, by listening to the preset ring tones in the system settings of the phone.
I was afraid, that I might of had to exchange the phone because the speaker volume was so bad. This app makes a significant difference.

You can get the full version for free from the developers site which has a link in the Market page of the lite version.
I keep mine set on 10 and it gives me the perfect volume.
It's the way the phone should have come.....
I am surprised samsung or google have not rectified this with the last 2 ota updates.

Has anyone tried the Headset or IN CALL settings yet???

10 makes a difference but isn't there a chance of blowing the speaker by doing this or are we safe?

10 was REALLY loud with my text tones with vol on max. Im at 8 now and the speaker sounds loud but not poppy or distorted. Im going to try the earpiece vol next

Help!
By any chance do you remember the steps? I just bought the app but accidently pressed the back button on the tutorial part. Is there anyway to go back to it?

yeah the voice is still like that in 4.0.2 (usa/lte); almost feel guilty about using navigation, sounds like the poor woman is getting tortured; I run it through my car speakers so it's loud of enough

thanks guys it helps alot

FYI there is an updated version at developers site 1.8.0.6 that adds ability to view the tutorial on demand.

I bought V+ and it helped with some of the settings, but not all. I rooted the phone as well. I might be returning it. It is a big disappointment.

Has anyone tried this with a bluetooth headset? I tried and am not getting any results. Tried "Headset" and tried "Bluetooth" settings, separately and together.

Do you do that natively with a bluetooth head unit. I have a car with bluetooth head unit and when I make a call and I'm using Nav at the same time it plays the Nav through the speakers....otherwise it doesn't.
Wondering if I can do likewise so any information would be greatly received.
Thanks

[Q] Anyone know how to disable increasing ring w/o an app

Does anyone know which files are used for the increasing ringer? Because sometimes when my phone is in my pocket I don't get to it until the third ring and sometimes miss a call. I've used the app called disable increasing ring I think it's called but it makes the beginning of my ring tones skip. I know on my evo 3d there was an option to turn it on or off but not on the Optimus G. If anyone can chime in I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

That's not it. I'm referring to when your phone rings and the volume starts low then increases to high no matter if your in a loud area or not. I have checked the wise ring tone and it still has the increasing ringer.

If you disable Wise Ringtone, it gives the same volume all the time, and i thought that's what you wanted. My bad

It's alright, yea when i disable the wise Ringtone it doesn't change anything. When my phone rings it always starts at a low volume then increases. And that app on the playstore makes the beginning of the Ringtone skip, that's why I was wondering which files made that do that so I could just try and modify them myself. Thanks though

How can I silence notification sounds when I'm plugged in?

I listen to music in my car through the headphone jack, and it's annoying when every notification will sound, lowering the volume of my music playing. It'll bring back my music after the tone plays, as it should
This happens under all 3 profiles.
When I'm not plugged into the jack, all is at it should be based on whatever profile is engaged. The phone will only vibrate under the vibrate profile, music blasting at continuous, unbroken volume.
I've tried messing with the sound settings and profiles, but I can't seem to rid myself of the annoyance
Sent from my LG-E980

Have you tried any automating apps like Tasker or Llama? You can set up profiles in those that detect when certain variable conditions are met, such as headphones plugged in and charging. If you have any questions on how to do this, I would be happy to help.
For example, I currently have a Tasker profile that turns on Bluetooth in the morning and once it detects it is connected to the Bluetooth in my car, it increases the media volume to max, lowers the notification volume to zero, and starts Mort for my audio book for my morning commute. In the evening, it starts Slacker radio instead for my commute home.

Yeah, I admit Tasker is a bit daunting at first, but once you learn some stuff, it's awesome! I started out using llama, which can do a lot of stuff while still being free. Tasker is just more feature packed and can do other things like creating scenes and even make an installable app.
Just as a quick rundown, Tasker is set up with Profiles, Tasks, Scenes, and Variables tabs. You start with either the profiles or tasks. The profiles set up the conditions of which you want your task to run from. To start, you can ignore the scenes and variables. I think there's even an " easy" or " simple" mode if you want .
If you would like more help in how to set one of them up, I would be happy to assist. Otherwise, there's a lot of other resources out there with more knowledge than me.

No. I'm asking if there is a mid to flash through recovery to disable notification in headphones when in silent or vibrate mode.
My old phone made a notification in headphone only in "normal mode" and it was better!

Sorry, but no, I don't know of any mod to apply in recovery. Instead, I have a tasker profile set up so that whenever my Bluetooth headphones are connected, the notification volume is set to zero.
Otherwise, have you used an xposed module like gravity box to make sure your ringtone and notification volumes are linked? I'm not sure, but perhaps that will make it so the notification is muted when in silent or vibrate mode.
