[BUG] Media Volume dependent on In call volume

I've noticed that media volume is being affected by in call volume.
Many times it happens I'm listening to music when a call comes, which being too loud (since i'm using my earphones) I reduce it by lowering the in call volume. After the call end the media volume gets reduced and it doesn't go up even if you max it out, although it can be lowered...
The remedy to fix it is make a dummy call and max out the in call volume, dis-connect and voila you're media volume is back up which can be lowered as desired...
Its not a serious bug as its temporary fix easy to apply but since most of the major android bugs on HD2 have been ironed out, so if developer has the time it would be great if they can look into it.
Also this a kernel/sound module bug, as I've seen it persist across different ROMS by different chefs. Yhough I have not tried Sense, but it present in both CM7 and MIUI roms whatever I tried so far..If some sense user can confirm, it would be helpful as these roms have different kernel...

I m currently using the ROM in my signature and i give a negative confirmation. Meaning in my HD2 and ROM i have faced no such issues. The media volume is independent of the In-Call volume.
Btw i admit once i noticed this bug when i was trying a MIUI rom.

Yes it exists. You can verify it.
1. Install Volume control
2. Play any music
3. Modify the InCall volume.

Yes even I think this might be specific to MIUI Roms.
Can anybody verify the same with AOSP roms?

So sense roms doesnt have this bug, it seems...
Well i remember having faced a similar issue when i was typhoons cm7 rom around a month or two back

I have also observed this 'bug'. My initial thought was that the DSP manager (I'm currently on CM ROM) does not restore the correct profile after hang up.

No bug on jw-miui. Tested like this: launch music, volume set to max
Did a call, adjusted in call volume to low.
Hang up, miui music start to play with its full volume (just like i set it before).
Second test was with low music volume. It works too. So I can't confirm the bug.

[Q] Volume issue on 4.0.3, affected by text messages?

I'm running Toro build 26, 4.0.3 with Franco's kernel 18.6.
For the last several days at least, I've noticed when I go to listen to music the volume is completely subpar. I tried using the setting in Franco's app to boost the volume, but it does nothing. What's weird, though, is if I get a text message while music is playing, it immediately becomes roughly 200% louder. This continues until I pause the song. I've started sending myself text messages when it does this to fix my volume. Is there an easier way, or is this a known bug in something,?
Also, if it's relevant, I'm using Handcent's sms app and PowerAmp.
Thanks!

Same issue. I'm using google music though.

Try setting the Max volume setting at 13... Magic Or install Milestone 1 and set it to 10. (Serious guys... It's all in Franciscofranco's kernel thread. Had the same problem and Francisco advised me those. Worked perfectly for me.

Thanks! I had been thinking it might have been PowerAmp. I'll try that out and post back if it works.
Edit 3/8/12
It did work, thanks! I think the nightly builds of Franco's fix that issue anyway, but it did work before I tried them. Much appreciated!

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Speaker EXTREMELY Quiet

Hi guys.
Don't immediately think I did no searching for this because I've been through so many threads it's ridiculous and I can find nothing.
The other day I noticed my phone didn't ring when I got a phone call, I ensured it was on loud and checked all the volumes, but the error stayed.
I had recently flashed to LiquidSmooth ROM ICS. The latest one. Everything worked fine until this.
So I looked through the forum, found people with similar problems and downloaded the apps the were suggested, none of which worked.
I then realised that my problem was slightly different, because there actually was volume coming out of the speaker, but the only way you can head it is with your ear pressed firmly against the speaker. This is the same for anything at all, calls on speakerphone, ringtones, any form of media at all that has sound is played in a similar fashion. So today I tried to reflash back to the stock ROM, which didn't help either.
So guys, does anyone have any idea on how to fix this? I'm moving to the USA for three months as of Sunday, so a replacement really doesn't seem to be an option for me :/
Thanks in advance

You could always try a different Kernel, I think Franco's Kernel has an option to boost the volume of the speaker, maybe that would work for you? It wouldn't hurt to try

Would that be the equivalent of using Volume+? Because I'm obviously rooted and unlocked and tried Volume+ too to no avail.

Nope the Kernel has a lot more control than any software would. I also recommend AudioManager (One word if searching Play for it) and just make sure all of your individual volumes are maxed out before you flash Franco's Kernel.

Try flashing aokp build 38 and franco kernel nightly 175 and see how loud it is then.
Make sure you wipe data / cache / system / dalvik from recovery before switching to new roms.

You have to actually enable the volume boost..

hi guys,
I've got the same issue with the paranoid android rom.
I've tried to reflashed the rom many time while wiping cahe, dalvik cache and factory reset.
I haven't tried yet to flash a different kernel but I will do now ^^

Going to flash to AOKP right now and then flash Franco's kernel. Will post with info.

The kernel is what has the volume boost and you have to enable it.

I had the same issue but found out that my hand was covering it father I move my hand wow loud enough for me lol

Where do I enable the volume boost after I flash the kernal? I'm on Franco's now and I don't see anywhere to boost the volume.
Its not my hand, in order to hear anything at all the speaker has to be by my ear..

The volume boost is enabled in francos kernel app. Its in the market or on his signature.

That only increases the volume a miniscule amount-i got more of an increase from volume+

yeah it didn't boost it much for me either, i was just telling you where it was.

IMO After updating to 4.0.4 the volume was horribly low. Got Volume+ the free one because the paid is just not worth it, Anything above +4 is just plain blah and your phone tends to sound like its underwater. Also anything above CM9 M4 and franco kernel 175+ has an epic increase to the volume (You may have to restart and don't forget to change from MusicFX to Volume+). I remember being in a meeting and had confidence that the volume wouldn't be THAT loud, Unfortunately the echo in the room + the embarrassment proved me wrong after franco NB r175. Was highly pleased I went and got the paid app and enabled the Audio Quality mod. Now the phone's bearable.

Even with Franco 178 and aokp build 38, volume+ paid I still can't hear anything unless my ear is touching the back of the phone. I can't hear phone calls at all

That's pretty weird, maybe it is just a hardware problem. Mine didn't increase substantially with franco kernel but it is still plenty loud for me to hear in almost all cases.

I don't know. I'm thinking that if I had access to an apk that could infinitely increase the volume I would be able to fix the problem because it does increase with volume+ but not to an audible volume

For what it's worth, I use GLaDOS kernel and have never used Franco. With the GLaDOS control app if I give the volume boost a +1 the headset becomes too loud at Max volume. Speaker has always been fine, maybe you got a lemon :/

How high can you put the volume on that then, how many numbers are there if you're at +1

[Q] Galaxy nexus low speaker volume

Hi everyone,
I'm getting a nexus soon but while I was looking around in the forum,it seems that the gnex's speaker volume output is low.I know that volume+ can raise the volume but it's currently not supported in JB.I read that some kernels/ROMs do boost the volume but not as good as volume+,not to mention that I would hate restricting myself to specific ROMs/kernels just to have good volume on the speaker.The nexus is amazing phone due to the updates and developer support but low speaker volume is kinda like a deal breaker for me since I can miss a lot of notifications this way then I might just force myself to get the S3 I had an I9100G and volume was pretty nice on it.
PS:I hope my thread is not a spam/trouble/annoying thread but I had to post it because this determines which phone I'm getting so..yea

I didn't tried this phone on ICS so don't know if this is JB issue, but yes volume of external speaker is low compared to i9100 I had.
ROM I'm using now is androidme and I think he raised a little volume by default plus he have 2 mods to go when further, though I found the highest one distorted my music a little.
Right now I'm not using a mod on his newest And its fine. Okys this phone has a led notification that S2 didn't had so that helps too

Hi Mate,
New version of Volume+ works fine on Gnex Maguro with Jelly Bean. Volume+ works best with Bugless Beast JB ROM. As most other JB roms are based on CM, the sound starts crackling once you pump the volume to 10. I think any stock like AOSP rom is best paired with volume+.
Hope that helps you.
Cheers, Sumit

How did you get Volume+ to work with JB...On the devs website, this is what he says:
"It seems Google have completely removed the ability to attach the Audio Effects to the system output. I knew they were removing it but I assumed they would replace it with something better but it seems they removed it without offering an alternative. This means Volume+ no longer works for boosting Ringtones/Messages/E-mails, etc.
Will it ever work? No idea. Depends if there's any way around it." I guess it does work for music and such, just not system stuff...

I love my gnex with jellybean, but the low volume is a really a killer Ive missed a few calls because it and you can't listen to videos in a noisy environment at all, guess well have to hope that a Google update addresses it.

There are only two things I don't like about this phone...the speaker and the vibrate...they are both much lower than my RAZR was, but the rest of the phone more than makes up for it...

Maybe use a pair of headphone but it gets kinda annoying at long term...
However your sure not to miss a single notification

My Gnex has completely gone mute
Bought my GNex from Play Store in US and got it shipped to india.
Have been encountering problem with loudspeaker from Day 1.
My phone's rear speaker stops working when:
1. Headphone is plugged in and then taken out.
2. Data cable is plugged in
3. Data cable is plugged out
4. Sometimes just like that... (no reason)
How i made it work again:
1. Plug in the headphone into the jack.. pull out a couple of times
2. Plug in the data cable move it up-down n left-right... it works
3. Just tap near the back of the phone with ur finger (near the speaker)
Also the volume levels keep changing as u move the jack or the data cable inside the socket.
Read somewhere like the OS is assuming that the headphone is connected n all... not sure if that is true...
Tried Wired Head Phone routing apps. the speaker worked for a few minutes, that's all.
Now... the phone's loud speaker has gone totally mute. It just refuses to speak... wat ever i do.

yup my dad realize too..very low speaker volume
is it can solve without root?
or will be solve on android 4.2?
anyone knows

[Q] Headphone volume

Hello, I'm using PAC nightly from May 16, been using an alpha build from April 16 before that and I'm loving PAC! The only thing I can't seem to figure out is the headset volume. 70% of the time I use my phone is to listen to music. The overall volume level on PAC is a bit low for me, even with the safe listening volume setting disabled and volume maxed out I keep wishing for more. I'm on Galaxy S3 International if that matters, but I don't think it does - I've been using CM10 and 11 previously and some of their builds went way louder (I updated pretty much every week to the latest nightly and the max volume varied with every build). So I know it's not the hardware maximum volume that's keeping me down. I'd like to ask if there is an option / setting anywhere which would allow me to increase the maximum volume. It would have to be something deep down in the system I guess, I don't actually think there's a "Make louder" button hidden somewhere in the settings.. When I crank the preamp of my Poweramp the sound distorts, which to me suggests the sound levels in the software are okay, and then they get clamped by an audio driver / kernel / something like that.. I'm a linux user, so I'm comfy with shell & digging in system files, but I'm no Android expert, so I dunno where to start looking. Could anyone please help out?

I have the same issue while on calls ..guess they don't have solution for this
