I've looked everywhere for an answer to this problem so please don't flame me. :fingers-crossed: I am new!
I flashed AOKP's jellybean ROM for AT&T last night and ever since then my speakerphone volume is really low. It's almost the same volume as the regular speaker. I can't hardly tell the difference between when it's on speakerphone and not.
Not sure what to do! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I am running AOKP as well, although i haven't yet used my speakerphone, when my volume is up my notifications can be deafening at times...especially high pitched squeals and the like. Try going into the settings>rom control>sound menu and enable the volume panel. This enables you to selectively adjust the volumes for each sound group (for lack of a better word). This is similar to the stock sound menu with greater control. With this enabled when you adjust your sound using the rocker buttons you will see a mixer icon on the right, press that to open the volume panel and try adjusting the sounds that way. I've found the best setup for me is to crank up the phone volume, and then put the notification and music levels somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 full. Its worth mentioning i also have my volume levels linked so that they all scale up and down together, this way my phone volume isn't all the way down while the notifications remain loud for example. This setting is found in the settings>sound menu.
I enabled that and it was turned all the way up. But I turned it down and then turned it back up and now it works great. Thank you so much!

hey guys.
i currently use Volume Button Controller and it does an excellent job at keeping my volume levels where I set them. unfortunately i have to set them through the actual app. if i change the volume up or down with the volume keys it only affects the ringer or media, depending on where i do it.
is there an app, or better way a framework edit, that will make the volume buttons control all the volume levels at once? i'm willing to try smali or xml edits as necessary. just need guidance as to where.
thanks!
I use audio manager and use the widget or you can load it in the taskbar. It will let you adjust system volume, media volume, ring volume, in call and alert volume. Nice and easy.
yeah Volume Button Controller has a widget as well and it works well. that's not my question.
i'm asking if there is a way to make it a permanent change so that the volume buttons control ALL volume levels simultaneously without having to open an app or use a widget.
BUMP...
nobody has ever felt the need for this mod?
here's from JsChi, who can do anything with Android but as I understand is very busy with all the other requests:
I'm thinking it certainly would be possible to do what you want, and it would likely be in framework.jar

anyone?
I found your post because I was googling for the exact same thing. Here's the only solution I could find... search for Master volume control by SanelS in the market.
I was going to try it out, but there are some negative comments in the market that made me hesitate... I also would hate to turn down the master volume and realize in the morning that it turned down the alarm sound as well.
Let me know if you end up trying it out...

Bump. I'm looking for the same thing...
There are some ways you can do it with tasker. I've got my audio drop to zero when on silent (but not on vibrate) and I also have it reduced when I plug headphones in. I can post my profiles if you are interested.
I am pretty sure you can do the same for the volume buttons.

Hi guys
Hope I am posting this in the right place. I'm looking for an app that allows me to increase the volume on my gs2 by smaller increments than the volume rocker does standard? Basically every time i hit up or down on the volume rocker the difference is huge. I can't seem to find the right volume for music. One notch will be too quiet, the next one up is too loud. My setup is:
2.3.4 stock, unrooted
Equalizer app custom eq
poweramp eq
Ultimate ears super fi noise isolating headphones
I use these settings and apps because standard it sounds rubbish. i've finally got my sounds right, but can't get the right volume! I've tried heaps of apps from the market, volume+, volume control, etc. All increase the volume by the standard 10% increment rather than the 5% i'm looking for. Fine volume control sort of worked, but it seemed after i adjusted the volume it would quickly revert in a second or two.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, that shouldn't be happening; are you using the hardware volume buttons to change the volume? You have to use the dial or in-app sliders to modify the volume, if you use any other app to change the volume (or the rocker buttons), then it will move in larger increments.
If you need more a longer time to trial it, then PM/email me your UUID (menu/preferences then hold down your back button)
Thanks, I will give this another try and report back.

With some more experimentation, this works really well, so I bought it two things I was wondering about though, is there any way to lock volume, as I must be knocking as it shoots right up, and is there any way to save as a preset?

Presets are a possible future addition.
Not sure about volume lock, there are apps in the market like "RingGuard" and "Volume Locker" which would work - but only if you moved the volume enough to trigger an API level volume change, which is approx every 10-20%.

The volume slider shoots up when you press the hardware volume buttons? That's normal - it's because of how your device volume is calibrated (by the ROM).
The default volume stages aren't evenly spread across the entire available range. Our app shows the full range available, so when you press the volume buttons (from outside our app) it can appear to jump. It is effectively jumping, because the default API doesn't allow you to access those volume levels that lie between jumps (but you can with fine volume).
Basically, all other volume control apps and the Android system show the volume in terms of API volume levels. Fine volume control shows the volume in terms of the full available range. All other apps (and the volume hardware buttons) change the volume in terms of API levels.
It shoots up when using the dial. I've tried changing the sensitivity as well. Seems to always shoot media volume to 94%. It only does this occasionally though. All in all a great app!

Just to confirm, the dual on the far left is the overall volume? So if I am at 90% media volume but 7% overall, the media volume is 90% of the 7%, not of its possible maximum?

No, each slider is independent from the rest (ringer and notification are locked together though). There is no overall volume control.
The slider on the left (Android logo) is "System" volume, things like Screen lock sounds.
I have a rooted HTC Desire running Cyanogenmod 7 for which I wanted fine volume control. I like to be able to change volume using the rocker but it instantly shoots to 100% and that is extremely painful when using canalphones. I have uninstalled fine volume control 2 because I don't want to run the risk of insane volume levels.
Does anyone have any idea if this can be built into the volume API and have reliable hardware control?

Were you using the dial/overlay to change the volume?
Did the overlay not respond to your initial gesture, then suddenly "catch-up"?
Were you turning the volume up when it jumped?
I'm really sorry about this, I'll try and put in some volume limiter to prevent it happening.

Sorry for the late reply.
Dial/overlay worked as expected. what was causing problems was accidental use of the hardware buttons. Because that is what I am used to using. The app does not change hardware button behaviour and actually makes it worse as the volume can go almost instantly from 0 to 100% when touching the rocker.

The main volume app component overrides the hardware buttons and increases/decreases the volume by 1% each time you tap the button.
If the main volume app isn't currently on top, it can't override the hardware buttons (the overlay can't override either). It's a limitation of the Android system.
Each time you hit the hardware buttons from outside of the app, the volume will change in the default way (15 stages for media).
I've had a few reports of a bug when using earphones on the SGSII of erratic volume levels, so I have since added a volume limiter for when using headphones to workaround that sort of issue.
How can I make my gnexus go completely silent when I put it on vibrate/silent mode? I don't what apps to make any sound when I turn down the volume all the way using the volume buttons. Right now I have to go to settings>sounds and change it there.
Oh and is there a way to force it to always vibrate even on silent mode?

1. You can turn down just the media volume. That volume can be adjusted with the volume buttons too, you need to let media make a sound and then press the volume button.
You can also search for volume widgets on the market, I bet there are some that will suit your needs.
2. You can set vibrate in sound setting to "always".

1. That's the problem though. I'm sitting in class and open an app and suddently it starts playing a music. Even the sound of taking a screen shot is unaffected when phone is on silent.
2. I can not find this option in Settings>Sound. I have "Vibrate and Ring" which is set to enabled but it does not affect silent mode.
I use an app called RealSilent off the market. Its free and does what you need.
Use Audio Manager, or something similar. There's plenty of apps out there...
I use quick setting app.....has all volume settings on one page to change values of basically everything

You could also use a profiles app and create a profile that silences everything. (And also a profile that brings everything back up to volumes you like when it's not silenced.)
Thanks everyone I'll try the market
I believe the actual problem is that ICS has combined notification volume and ringer volume in to 1 volume. I haven't seen any of those apps mentioned above, but how can they possibly get around this newly imposed restriction in ICS??
I use Llama for setting profiles on my ICS Nexus S and it warns you about this exact thing.
I've used Mute before on the SGS. Worked well there. I haven't used it yet for the Galaxy Nexus so I can't say if it's been updated for ICS.

Lol this isn't just ics
It was in gingerbread too
The notification and ringer volume are the same (and I actually prefer that)
And OP all you need to do is make the ringer silent, then go into a media app, something like music, power amp, even camera, and then turn down the media volume from there, its pretty simple

But not very practical to do this over and over. Its easier to have a toggle.
Phone on silent in class, open Tiny Tower, and BOOM you have tons of sounds lol. So I really need to find one that works. I used "silent toggle widget" on my G2, but it doesn't mute everything on the GNex.

Looks like "mute" works... when you hit the widget to mute everything, and go into "sound" settings, the ringer is silenced and the games/media sound is set to 0. I'll test more after class. Not gonna risk it right now
Also, the widget is kinda ugly but I think I can look past that if it does what I need.

Wrong. I'll let the picture do the talking instead of a petulant "lol".
I play music off my phone in the car. After I answer a call, the music resumes at a much lower volume, despite the fact that I haven't touched the volume on the phone or car. I have to press volume up 3 times and it doesn't go gradually up, but instantly from the low volume to the high it was at. Is there a setting to get the music volume to maintain? Using poweramp. Thanks
Anyone have a similar issue? I remember having it on the GNex as well but fixed it somehow. Cannot remember how, though. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I continue to experience this same problem on stock 4.1.2 ROM. I suspect it is a bug in the ROM. I don't know how to duplicate the problem because I have gotten calls and the volume was correctly restored. I've also tried making calls and the volume was correctly restored.
check all your sound setting and make sure that the volume is up on the system part of the sound menu...i had the same problem ...that seemed to fix it for me...

There are two issues that I find annoying with the volume settings. I believe these issues are because of this T-Mobile ROM and not stock Android 4.2.2, but I could be wrong. While this issue might be a thread for troubleshooting, I believe this is not something we users can fix, but a ROM issue that T-Mobile should probably fix sometime soon.
The issues are the notification volume not properly being linked with the ringer volume and the second is the warning we get about turning up the volume when headphones are plugged in; that is just plain annoying, and I wish our ROM would allow us to disable this warning message. If anyone has found an easy way to do this, please let us know.
The notification volume does not seem to get set up or down when using the volume button on the side of the phone. On my older HTC phone with Android 2.3.4, turning the volume up or down with the side volume button turns the phone's ringer up/down but not the notifications (not while in a call but while walking into a meeting, for instance, and trying to make the phone ringer and notifications quiet). Further more, when I go into settings to access volumes (music, ringtones, notification, system) or I press the volume button and quickly access volume settings from the volume pop-up (ringtone, media, notification, system) there is no option/functionality to have ringtone and notification volumes linked. Further still, I have a widgetsoid volume widget to access volume controls that does allow me to set "use ringer volume for notifications", and I see the volume slider for notifications greyed out and moving with the ringtone volume setting, BUT the notification volume doesn't actually adjust with the ringtone volume when using the volume button.
Okay, I know that is a long winded (its just thorough) way of explaining the volume issues I've observed, in total.
I think either this T-Mobile ROM has broken the previous and useful feature of having these two volumes linked, or it is a problem with Android 4.2.2.
Anyone have anything to add? Maybe a fix I am overlooking? Anyone know how to also disable the annoying warning about having my headphones turned up too loud?
Thanks!
Volume warning is fixable through root and nottach framework or a custom ROM. My ROM has the ability to sync any volume with the ringer volume.

I agree. I have had some issues with volume on my phone. Interestingly, when I was running the CyanogenMod nightly, I noticed all my notifications/ringers were MUCH louder (it actually startled me the first time my phone rang), and of course I had the option to lock the two volumes together.

I think I can pull the volume synchronization from my ROM and put it into an app.
