I recently received a replacement Galaxy Nexus (my original power button broke). I am having an issue with the new phone where my old phone worked fine--and I think I have found a solution that may help others if they are having this problem.
When listening to media, either music via PowerAmp or podcasts via DoggCatcher, the ringtone for an incoming call is reduced to a point that is almost inaudible. I can tell there is an incoming call, because the media stops, but that is unacceptable. If I stop the media but keep the ringer at the same volume, an incoming call rings at a much louder (and satisfactory volume). For some reason, playing media is reducing the volume of the ringtone.
I found a solution that seems to be working for me. I noticed that while adjusting volumes in the volume settings control panel, the volume would be reduced but adjusting the volume would return it to normal. To solve the problem I set up a tasker profile that will adjust the volume on the event of an incoming call. The tasker profile looks like this:
Context: Event > Phone Ringing, Hardware > Headset Plugged (otherwise I think this would make vibrate worthless)
Task: Ringer Volume: Level 2 (anything else seems much too loud, but I will have to try it out).
Anyone else having this problem? Know the cause? Other solutions?

I am having an issue with the volume of the media player on the phone, in particular when I am listening to voicemail messages. I have the volume up all the way and you can barely hear it through a headset and it is very quiet on the speaker phone or normally. Is there anyway to force higher volume or is anyone else experiencing this? I have checked the volume under settings and it is also set to max.

This sounds typical.
On the other hand, are you saying that voicemails sound even fainter than normal phone calls?
I am familiar with the "Music, Video, Games, & Other Media," setting within the Volume menu in settings. I have that set to just under max. My issue is that when I listen to music in my car or on my bluetooth headphones the volume almost always starts at the minimum level and I am forced to manually turn it up. It seems to be related to when the phone's ringer is set to vibrate but it has also happened when the ringer is on high. My previous smartphone was an iphone 4 and on that phone the bluetooth music volume had nothing to do with the ringer settings. Part of my frustration is that it's not a consistent problem, occasionally the music volume defaults to what I have it set to in the settings menu. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Is anybody having this problem? When I am playing music over bluetooth to my car stereo or to bluetooth headphones, I can't hear any of my notification sounds.
The music gets quieter for a second or two and if I really pay attention I can just barely make out the sound of the notification. But really the only way I know that I had a notification is that the music volume turns down for a bit.
With Lollipop, everything worked as expected. The volume of the music would turn down and the notification would play loudly. I'm not sure why this change happened.
Any ideas?
I'm having the same issue. I've found that if I turn up the volume DURING the notification the phone suddenly realizes the volume is too low and cranks it up for that one instance.
Hello,
I have noticed that for some time now whenever I try to adjust the volume of a call (during that call, using the volume buttons) the Bluetooth volume is adjusted instead of the in call volume, leaving me to either not hear well enough or too hearing too loud.
I have tried rebooting and noticed that for a few seconds after each reboot (about 15) whenever I place a call I can adjust the in call volume just fine. There is a definite point in time, though, when the in call volume in replaced with adjusting the Bluetooth volume during the same call after boot.
Notice that I do not have Bluetooth enabled and have never used a Bluetooth headset.
How can I debug this? This looks like some service starting and messing things up. How do I find which service is that?
Thanks.
I am having an issue where when attached to my Bluetooth in my car I can not adjust my in-call volume in my phone. It gets stuck at 50%. I can adjust media volume no problem when playing music and can adjust the in-call volume in other Bluetooth devices like my buds+ and galaxy watch.
Any ideas how to fix this? It results in either very quiet call volume or when the call ends the music is crazy loudly.
I have this same issue.
Me too
Don't suppose anyone has managed to resolve this yet? It's still happening with me with Android 11 update.
Disabled absolute volume?
Make sure volume limiter is not enabled.
Clear system cache.
Reset network settings.
I have the same problem on tcl 55p83 ( RT851)
bluetooth max volume is limited to 50%
Any help ?
I have the same issue.... Just figured it was normal to keep distortion or feedback at a minimal?? But, maybe it isn't?
