Annoying volume slider issue - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the AT&T variant. My volume slider is very choppy and laggy, when trying to adjust volume incrementally. It's not a big deal, but it is extremely annoying! Does anyone else have this issue? I'm rooted, all bloat gone, Greenified, etc. Had the issue from day one. I did do a factory reset the day I bought it. It's never presented any differently, regardless.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

No Audible notifications from time to time....

Once in awhile the phone will stop vibrating and it won't ring if I get email, text message or IM. Changed My SIM Card, even factory restored the phone and it still does it from time to time. Do you guys have a similar issue? After rebooting the phone the problem is fixed-but it's only temporary. I have stock software-no rooting...
Please help!
Thank you.
same thing
same thing here buddy. no idea. but luckily it doesn't do it often. i tend to check my phone so often anyway that it doesn't get in the way though. definitely weird. it's like the opposite of a phantom vibrate haha.
I hope they come out with some kind of a fix for it-this is really annoying. Haven't seen a lot of people to complain though-strange!
i didn't complain because i thot it was normal.
I don't get vibrate nor ring for txt's.
btw, sms = normal txts?
Yeah, it isn't normal at all. I wonder if it is software problem, because if it was hardware I would thing the notifications wouldn't work at all.
Anyone has a solution please?

[Q] Quiet keyboard and screen lock clicks

Alright, I've spent all day searching and can't find a clear answer for what I'm looking for.
Just last night my keyboard and lock sounds are very quiet, now I've seen others with this issue, but I haven't seen anyone explain why this happens or how to fix it.
So does anyone know how to fix this, or have I missed it in my searching?
lolwut. Are you talking about the audio output from the keyboarD? Like when you type it makes that noise, and now that noise is quiet? I think its tied into your general phone sound level. Check your settings under menu-settings-language & keyboard-touch input
Yea, all sound levels are at max and the other sounds ( ringer, text, emails, ect...) still play at proper level. But the keyboard clicks when typing and the screen lock/unlock sound is still there, but just barely making any noise
nobody's got anything?
also last night to took my friend's evo and his is doing the same thing, he said he noticed it soon after the 3.70 update
This just happened to me. I fixed it with a hard reset of the phone. I had to reload the few apps I had and sync my google calendar and contacts. Back in business. Have no idea why it happened in the first place, but they are working now.
i have to say, i never really liked the hard reset idea so i never did it. today i let the battery run until it shut off the phone, i then pulled the battery, put it back in and then charged it full before turning the phone back on. and now my clicks have returned

[Q] Messaging notification doesn't always sound.

Just wondering if this was a common occurance? When my phone is on a lower volume at work, I've noticed when I get messages the notification sound doesn't always play. The phone still vibrates and I've made sure its loud enough to hear, it just doesn't play until I restart the phone.
Anyone else getting this?
Currently everything is stock apart from using Nova launcher. (haven't had it long enough to start playing with ROMs )
ive noticed this sometimes, but i think changing it from the message/emails settings will fix the issue

Inconsistent Playing of Touch Sounds

So I am hoping someone with some real hardware/software knowledge can provide some input...
I recently received my warranty replacement unit because of unresponsive touch and phantom touches. My new unit seems to work perfectly, except now every 10 to 20 touches, the touch will register, but the touch sound "click" doesn't play (if I put my ear close to the speaker, I can hear the speaker activating though). Repeated touches (like repeatedly pressing back) won't reproduce the problem, but more random timing and touches (like in regular use or typing) will. I'm wondering if anyone thinks this is a hardware issue, or some component of the stock software that wouldn't have been overwritten between the update to JSS15Q, and then to JSS15R (it happens in all three versions).
Think I should go for another replacement? Or do you think I should root and unlock, and see if a full installation of a ROM fixes it. It's definitely a sign that something is wrong and it's annoying, I just can't figure out if it's software or hardware related. I'm definitely not going to just ignore it.
(SIDE STORY: When I called nexus help for my first unit, the guy was so helpful and took my word that I had already tried factory resets, and set me up for an RMA. My call on this unit, the woman told me to reboot and toggle touch sounds, and kind of rudely insisted that I was on 4.3 and that Build Version (e.g. JSS15R) had nothing to do with software!! :what: She then told me she'd send me an email with more troubleshooting steps, which never came. I had figured I'd wait for the email, so that I had her name for my next call. Totally unacceptable.)
You come off as just looking for a reason to complain at this point, there doesn't seem to be any real problem with your device other than you being overly picky

You're completely right. I was so delighted when I managed to find something wrong with my new tablet...
Seriously? You come off as just a worthless ass of a poster at this point. The problem is there, and can be consistently reproduced. I press home and it clicks, and five seconds later I press home and it doesn't click. Your opinion on whether this is a "real problem" or me being overly "picky" is completely irrelevant. It is most certainly real and not normal, and indicates either some software or driver bug on my device, or a strange hardware malfunction. My previous unit (which had very real problems) did not have this problem.
I hope I speak for others here, when I tell you to **** off unless you have something worthwhile to contribute. Just because you don't think something is important, annoying, significant, etc. doesn't make it any less so for someone else.
Do you have this issue with SwiftKey?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah. It's actually everywhere throughout the OS. System settings, stock launcher, Nova launcher, Swiftkey, AOSP keyboard, etc.
I have the opposite problem as you. When muted, every 20 or 30 taps I will get a 'pop' from the speakers, similar to the sound of plugging a guitar into an amp when it's on. Pretty bloody annoying, but I don't want to risk returning it for receiving a unit with worse problems.

Exactly my thoughts on going through another RMA. But I do feel that it's reasonable to expect a properly functioning tablet on our parts. What you're experiencing is strange. I can tell you that on my Optimus G, when muted, I can hear a faint speaker "activation". Sounds like maybe yours is a hardware issue. Are you stock, or have you tried flashing other ROMs?
Well, I installed CM10.2 last night, and the problem went away. Maybe you might want to try CM, or even just unlocking and reflashing stock JSS15R. You might get lucky with your popping noises.
FYI: I've seen this on multiple tablets (TF101, GTab, Nooks, 2012N7, 2013N7) with different customed ROMs.
So, I wouldn't blame it specially on the Tab. In fact, I see this issue less often on the 2013N7. It usually happens
after I just freshly loaded a new ROM.

So a couple of nights ago, I decided to try disabling touch sounds in settings. Since doing that I haven't heard a single pop from the speakers. Looks like it was either the touch sounds 'leaking' or the speakers popping from being activated, which they do even when muted (the mute being software)
I'm quite happy with this fix, since the tablet is muted 99.5% of the time, and I don't care for the touch sounds anyway.
Hi Folk's,
Sorry to drag up an old post, but I've noticed my N7 shows this behaviour on KitKat as well.
It misses the touch sound if you pause for about 5 secs during input. Does it every time and it's very annoying. I've tried a couple of different KK roms and it does the same on all of them.
Just tried going back to CM10.2 (JB 4.3) and it works fine!
Does anyone know the cure for this, apart from going back to JB, please? Would really like to be running KK, but this bug is bugging me!
Thanks for any info.
Cheers

@Petermira @Xi2or @spackmanbr
I have this same behavior on a stock 4.4.2 S3.
After 5 seconds, if I click anything UI (keyboard, Soft buttons, shortcuts, toggles) there is no sound. If I quickly click again and keep clicking, the sounds work as normal. It's definitely ROM related but is there a fix???
UPDATE: Issue does not happen with headphones plugged in. STRANGE!!!
UPDATE: Issue does not happen if I keep a song playing in Power Amp or similar.
Affected UI items include:
- keyboard
- shortcuts
- toggles
- capacitive buttons
- dialer pad
- etc.

[Q] Phone freezing when trying to play audio

For about a day now my m8 has been having some strange audio issues, and since I haven't found any other discussions surrounding it, I thought I'd drop in here as a last hope.
Essentially, almost any audio that plays from the internal speakers freezes the phone and forces me to soft reset it. Any games/music/videos locks it up, but notification/ringtones play without issue. When I try to play music, the boomsound icon appears in the notification bar, and I can change the volume for about a second before the phone freezes, though no music actually plays.
It seems to have started after I downloaded Sherlock: The Network(which I have since uninstalled), but that may be coincidental. I have a Verizon m8, rooted with S-OFF but stock ROM. I'm backing up things right now in preparation of a factory reset to hopefully resolve the issue, but if anyone has any solutions or suggestions, I'd be more than happy to hear them - can provide more info if needed.
Another edit since I'm now remembering info I was going to originally add: I did an audio test via HTC's Diagnostic Tool - which was hard enough to reach because touch tones would freeze it all up - and could not hear any of the sounds it was apparently making.
Use Titanium to freeze the suspected app, and see if the issue persists.

I should have noted in the OP (in fact, I'll edit it in now) that I uninstalled said app as soon as the issues began. I've also checked through the running processes in hopes of finding some sound driver that wasn't responding, to no avail.
This started happening to me after installing/uninstalling Hungry Shark. Did you end up doing a factory rest? 3-4 resets a day are quite annoying...

Yup, in the end I had to do a factory reset and didn't reinstall the app (though I'm not sure that was entirely the source of the issue). I've had no problems with the audio since, but I know how aggravating it is to deal with.
