Hey, i'm new to the forms so i just though i'd give you a background on my problem. Basically at random times when i try to turn up or down the volume the phone won't let me. Its almost like volume is disabled. I thought it could be an app or the recent firmware update but it seems like that ins't the problem. The only way i can get my volume to work is by rebooting my phone. Then i can adjust the volume for a few hours, until it happens again. I've had this problem for about a week now and its extremely annoying. I apologize if this is not in the correct category.
The attached imaged is what it looks like when i cannot adjust my volume.
Same Problem Here
I have the exact same problem. It's very annoying as I pretty much have to restart my phone at least once a day just for some volume.
I've had it happen randomly too. Only solution I've seen is a reboot

What roms are you guys using? I see its not stock so if you all have the same one its probably the rom causing the problem.
Odin back to stock snd see if it still happens.

have i got the volume bug if my phone hangs and then reboots every time i touch volume up or down when the screen is on? Samsung insist that its the same thing and i need to wait for the update but i can't see anyone else describing that the problem causes a reboot, and my volume has never actually turned down on it's own as far as i can tell.
That sounds different altogether.

Thats what i suspect. Its just a pain to have been waiting for 4 days for something that probably wont fix anything and then to have to start the whole thing over again with samsung. O well

Deal with the retailer you bought the phone from, and get a replacement from them.

I'll give it a go. Im guessing they wont do a doorstep swap like i'd get from t mobile though. Hopefully i wont be without it for long. In our short time together i've grown quite attached to this phone (and almost got used to not touching the volume button)
Couple of questions (you may have already done these -apologies if you have)
Have you tried a factory reset? If not, maybe worth trying it, could be an app doing wierd things.
Also, try running a logcat trace when replicating the issue - see if it helps point in the direction of the issue.
Does the phone still crash when you're in the bootloader? (This _may_ help to rule out application related issues)
I have tried a factory reset. Weird thing is that im pretty sure that it didnt do it for the first few hours that i was playing with it. It was just at the point that i had it all set up that i first noticed it so assumed it was a rouge app and did a factory reset. When it rebooted i signed in and hit volume and it crashed so its definately not an app.
I almost believed that it was the normal volume bug because if i go somewhere more remote in the house, away from all electrical stuff, i can hammer at the buttons for a while before it crashes so maybe ive just got a more extreme version of the bug. Just noone else seems to have anything close. Volume control works fine in a call and when the screen is off but i havent tried in bootloader yet. I'll give it a go
I have had my own SGS2 since it came out and have had no issues at all. I got one for my gf and gave it to her a few days ago and she already has experienced some strange issues. The most important of those issues is that the phone randomly (and quite frequently) goes into silent mode. It happens in the middle of normal use or if the phone is just sitting on the table. Its definitely not a matter of accidentally hitting the volume button or something like that. This is an issue because she is missing all her calls and notifications. The phone is rooted and is running GB 2.3.5 ....Anyone have any idea how to fix this? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Same here too .. I have tried so many roms to get rid of this problem ,,, but same
I thought I was just crazy! My phone does this all the time. Very annoying.

My phone has been doing that from day 1, I thought it must be somehow a changed setting while in my pocket (it it moving or something)...nice to know that it isn't just my phone
Yea I have no idea what it is ..strange. I don't know if her phone still has the problem. According to her it doesn't happen anymore but then again she has her phone on vibrate 99.9% of the time so I can't really know if it is still changing on its own
it is very annoying...I have missed important phone call because of it. I just did not think it was the phone doing it on its own (strange issue for a phone to have). I don't think I have heard of any other phone doing such a thing.
Did you find any solution to this annoyance? I am facing this for quite sometime and don't have a clue on how to fix this

I was wondering if anyone else experiences this issue.
I have flashed about a handful of JB ROMs. A couple AOKP releases, CM10 and also CNA. I have noticed that every JB ROM I flash I don't get sound (touch screen,ringtone any sounds at all) for the first 5 or 10 mins after signing into the phone.
I do a clean wipe and install, wait 10mins, reboot and then sign in and setup my phone, but during the first 5 to 10mins of setup I don't hear anything even when the volume is turned all the way up. I can even disable sound and then re-enable and the same thing. Then all of a sudden it just kicks in and starts to work.
Very strange, wondering what would cause this? Since this has happened on every JB ROM could it be gapps related? Suggestions?
After a while it does work and I don't have sound issues afterward, but I just can't figure out why it happens. Thanks.
I'll have to pay more attention on the next awesome rom I'm going to flash tonight
But I did notice that I never get a sound when connecting usb.

many people have been experiencing this issue, adjusting the volume keys during a call or while using gnow seems to do the trick for me..
Old school trick was to turn volume down all the way and then back up all the way

I've been loving my new LGOG, but having a minor issue.
Yesterday night and now again this morning i have lost all media volume. All other volume levels work fine. When tying to turn up the volume using the buttons on the side of phone, i see the volume slider but does not increase. I also tied to move the slider on the screen to increase, the slider moves but then after i lift my finger it reverts back to no volume. Both times i noticed, i was using different apps so I'm not sure if it is an app issue or not.
I reboot the phone and fixes it (really fast reboot compared to my last phone). I'm trying to recreate the problem but nothing so far.
Anyone else having this issue?

This happens to me. Usually if I have Netflix open, then try to watch something on hulu or YouTube while Netflix is in the background. Simply closing Netflix seems to fix it for me.

Had this happen once, had to reboot.

I do have netflix and could be the culprit. Will check it out and update.

I saw it once. Even went to the main sound menu to check volume sliders and 2 of them were greyed out. Still not entirely sure what I did to fix it.
I had the same issue. I would turn up the volume and I use 3 different music apps. I turn the volume up and down and it stays the same. I exit one and open the other and no luck. I have to restart the phone in order to get it to work again. I don't like the fact that the volume levels are too low. I installed the DSP Manager and no luck with the performance. I later installed Walkman with sound enhancements and it did help a little. Stll trying to see if there are other solutions.
I've tried to replicate but have been unable to do so. It has only happened to me those 2 times which got me to start this thread.
I don't know if was a fluke or what. Makes no sense.
Anyway, a reboot fixed my issue when it happened.
My volume keys don't work at all when in a call when the phone is held to my ear. To change the in call volume I have to take the phone off my ear so that the screen can come on, and then press the volume rocker.
Is this by design or is there something wrong with my device?
Update: this seems to be working intermittently for me. What could be the issue? I'm so stumped.
Same here. It's pissing me off. Anyone else have this issue?

I have the same problem. Stock international + ROOT and Xposed. It's really really annoying.
Hey,
Exactly the same configuration as above. Same issue as you all guys. I think this is intentional though
I don't believe it is, it would be the first phone I see with this "feature".
Ok, now I am really getting confused. Reading of @angadreme also having Xposed, I thought it must be some Xposed module. I disabled all of them and rebooted -> volume buttons working with screen off during call. I thought it could be one of the options about volume buttons with screen off of Sense 6 toolbox, so I re-enabled all modules except S6TB and rebooted. Volume buttons still working. Then I enabled S6TB again, rebooted and... volume buttons still working.
Still not responsive in call

Hey,
Am now wondering if my phone has an issue...I had this 'feature' (you're true, this should not happen at all...) since the very first day I bought it...all stock and so on.
Now that I'm running ARHD 8.0 with or withouht ElementalX, with or without Sense Toolbox, still the same issue...not TOO annoying, but still.
What do you suggest ? Shall I go for a replacement ?
No, it's clearly a software issue, I don't think it would make sense to ask for a replacement which would most likely have the same problem (assuming that they accept to replace the phone). If it's a firmware bug, it will sooner or later be fixed. If you had this problem even before rooting, it might be related to some app we have both installed. In case you find out more, please let me know, I am also going crazy for this little annoying issue!
By the way, after my last post, the volume buttons kept working without problems until I next rebooted the phone, which was several days later. Now they are again not working. -.-
