I am not sure if a rogue app update or sticky volume rocker button is causing trouble, but I always keep my notification volume on vibrate, but in the last 1-2 weeks, something has been automatically turning my notification volume up from vibrate to 20-25%.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
I have done a brief search for troubleshooting suggestions, but no success. Most peoples' issues have been the slightly different: either going from quiet to loud, or from on to off.
There are a number of volume locking apps which I have not yet tried. I would rather figure out the culprit. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Edit: I am running Liquid Death 7.1.1 march 31st ROM. Have cleared cache/dalvik and dirty flashed the ROM again to no success.

While playing around with my phone I noticed something pretty weird. These are the steps I'm doing:
Screen off
Press and Hold volume down and press volume up while holding, release all
Repeat until the phone does a single vibration pulse (occasionally the phone will continuously vibrate until i turn the screen on)
At this point, if I turn on the screen and unlock the phone, usually within a few seconds it will do 3 short vibration pulses.
What is the point of this? Is this something in the phone itself? Potentially an app? I'm leaning towards one of my apps but I'm not sure which.
I'm running a stock deodexed rom with the kingx kernel.
Mine does the same thing I'm running Fresh 3.5.0.1 with Netarchy 4.2.2 kernel.
I wonder what it is, maybe it just has something to do with having vibration on with the ringer.
Hello, a few hours ago my Nexus 7 suddenly started acting as if I was continuously pressing the volume down key. I could not even power down. Thinking I got a nasty software bug, I installed an app from play that let me reboot. It immediately rebooted into recovery though, just as if I had been holding down the volume key while it booted.
I have slimkat installed with twrp v2.7.0.0. I installed a recovery from before the skimkat installation (stock with root and twrp). But it too rebooted into twrp again (as if I was tapping volume down while it rebooted). So I tried to reboot into the bootloader to see what that would do (it allows you to use the volume keys to make selections). I got to the bootloader and sure enough, it was cycling through the options like I was tapping volume down over and over.
Help? Any ideas? I have pulled off the back cover and cleaned around the volume and power keys. It does not appear anything is wrong with them. Is it a software issue? Hardware? Any help would be appreciated.
Ok just one update on this issue. I think this is likely a hardware issue. I managed to disconnect the side key cable for the volume and power keys while it was booting, and it booted up just fine.
I am not sure what is wrong with the keys, but the fact that the tablet will boot into system when they are not attached tells me I probably need to replace them. Just FYI for the unlucky person who might also behaving this problem.
I am also experiencing volume problems. Mine is software related I think. The problem I have is that all volume and sound will disappear as if I have muted all sound. I have no touch sounds, no YouTube sound, no music audio, nothing at all from the speakers or the headphone jack. A reboot will fix it, but after say 10 minutes of use the sound goes again. The volume controls do nothing. Completely stock 4.4.3.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Hey guys really need your help. I've noticed that my volume is getting stuck in like a mute mode. It doesn't ring at all and the volume controls do not work. I primarily notice this especially after I have connected a bluetooth device to my phone. I tried doing a search and couldn't find any info on this. I did find the issue pertaining to older phones but their recommended "closing all apps" didn't fix the problem. The only way I can get my volume to function again is to power cycle my phone. Downside, is unless I'm constantly monitoring my phone, I don't always notice that it has happened and have missed several calls as a result.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
if you press the volume up or down and then press the speaker icon (that appears on top left) one or two times and then you can increase the volume and decrease as normal, it will solve the problem, i dont know how i got stuck with mute but this solved my problem at least
Hi,
I am trying to increase the ringer volume using the volume up button but it is not working. Whenever I press the volume up button the volume indicator comes up but remains at zero. Even when I slide the indicator over at higher values the moment I press the volume up button it returns to zero. I restart the phone and the problem seems to go away for a couple of hours and then automatically goes to zero again without me touching it. Anyone else has this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it? The phone stays in vibration mode only and I miss calls because of this.
Thanks.
Strange problem, my volume button seems to work fine and I cannot reproduce the issue. You may have to try a full wipe and reinstall the ROM.
Hi thanks for the reply! I am on the original elephone rom. I only updated through the elephone application, but this issue appear much later!
Perhaps try flashing an older ROM again or try clean install of eragon ROM, if problem persists then maybe it's a hardware issue like a sticky volume switch.

I somehow doubt that. As OP said "Whenever I press the volume up button the volume indicator comes up but remains at zero."
For me it sounds more like the switch is working but there is a software problem.
@ OP: Have you tried e.g. to watch a video or listen to music an the higher or lower the volume? Is it working there at least?
I am using a rooted cricket h634 LG stylo 5.1, WITHOUT custom ROM installed, I am also experiencing issues with my volume up button, I have removed bloatware but that is the extent of what I've done so far. My volume wrks if I use the drop down tray, volume down works, but not up.
This might be the wrong portion of the forum, but I've got the latest Viper rom installed on my 10
I found that my volume down button doesn't affect volume at all, ever. It turns the screen off.
I've even dug through every option, toggled everything on or off testing one thing at a time, and it still does that. Only volume up brings up the volume window. It's obviously rom related, since it doesn't do that on stock (of course it doesn't)
If anyone has any suggestions, or a fix for this, let me know where to look.
Thanks!
