Hi All,
I am losing the sound on my mini s. So far i have identified it occurs when i do either of the following...
1) Install the custom dialer from this topic -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35326
2) Using the registry tweak program from this topic -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725 <- I am able to use most of the options like disabling the notification, enable bluetooth. But sometimes a change knocks out the sound. Ive not yet identified which specific one because each time it happens i have to hard reset the device (unless someone can suggest a better solution?)
More details on the sound problem after doing either of the above...
When i move the volume slider after every soft reset, the phone volume (left side) defaults to off. But the voice volume (right side) is Ok.
If i move the phone sound level up i dont hear it increase in sound. If i leave up anywhere other than off it just goes back to off again.
Can anyone help?
Ta,

My volume keeps getting set to silent. As a result, I get no notifications of anything going on with my phone.
A little background first:
This is my second HD2. I returned my first but decided I really liked this phone after all.
I do NOT have BsB tweaks installed. I think there is an option to kill ringer based on calendar with this app.
I installed PocketShield thinking it would lock the screen when placed in my pocket. The thought was that the volume rocker was getting hit before it locked if I forgot to manually lock the phone. Didn’t resolve my issue.
Last night I installed VolumeX. This allowed me to remap my volume rocker buttons. At least now I know it’s not the volume rocker getting bumped.
So this morning on my drive into work it happened again. I checked the phone before I left and it was in vibrate. When I got to work it was in silent. The only thing that happened on the drive was that it attached to my car Bluetooth. But I’ve had this happen on multiple occasions without the Bluetooth piece.
Any thoughts on why this might be happening or things to check would be appreciated.
You aren't hitting vibrate then setting the phone down immediately on it's face are you? I've found that setting it on it's face before it's locked launches things...
I do believe it's the bluetooth that'll be doing that. Connecting and disconnecting bluetooth headsets and car kits changes the sound profile - annoys me too, but I'm pretty sure it's standard for WinMosince my Omnia and Titan did the same thing IIRC.
hi guys,
sometimes, let's say one time per day i have strange bug with ring volume..i noticed that somehow ring volume going down on the lowest dash immediately after i dial any number, if i just press CALL that is enough for this strange bug. so after that i can pump volume to the maximum but if i dial again volume will go down by itself
so i tried to power off phone, still nothing, only restart will fix this, and that is pain in the ass because it restart all the process & apps on your phone
anyone have this weird situation with ring volume??
i use original rom with all updates that came so far...
I am having problems with the in-call volume of my Nexus 4. Say I have it at 4/5, it will remain at this for a while, however, it does not maintain this setting. When I answer a subsequent phone call, the in-call volume will have reset itself to 2/5. It is quite annoying answering a phone call, not hearing the person on the other side and then having to increase the volume again. I actually returned my 1st Nexus 4, however, this problem is now occurring on my replacement phone as well. Would anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this problem before I contact Google again. I have not made any adjustments to the OS of the Nexus 4. Thanks for any help!

I have Volume + installed from Google Play and it increases the volume considerably from the speaker, through bluetooth and headsets. If you try it go to settings/sounds/sound effects and choose Volume + instead of Music Fx. I`am using the paid version and it works great for me.

Thanks for your reply. Actual loudness of the phone is not a problem, when the highest in-call volume setting is maintained. However, the phone will randomly reset itself to the 2/5 setting. Over the weekend, I give the Volume + app a try. It has an individual setting for in-call volume, however, the problem still occurs. Do you think the problem is software related and therefore potentially could be rectified by the next major update to be released? I'am worried that I may have to try and return another phone to Google!
help!

Did you ever find the solution? I just got a Nexus 4 and have the same issue. I've been searching like crazy for a solution!

I forgot to say that even though is the same issue, in my case is the other way around. The volume resets to 5/5 even though I change it to 2/5 during a call. The 2/5 setting seems to last only some time but surely after a few hours, when I make or receive another phone call the volume has gone up to 5/5.
I have the same issue. The volume is always to the max. During the call I lower it, because it is too loud at the maximum, but during the next call, the volume is at maximum again. I tried several applications that adjust in-call volume, but it had no effect.

I believe we might have an application installed that's resetting the volume, would you mind sharing the applications you have via private message and then we can check which we have in common and go from there? If you agree I'll send you mine as well.
After several factory resets I finally found out what was the problem. Automatic Call Recorder has an option named Maximize recording volume (or something like that). When I turned off this, the problem was solved.
Android 7.1.1 - Kernal 3.18.31 - Build NCQS26.69-64-21
Not sure if anyone else has seen this issue, but it's very frustrating.
I'll start a phone call and all will be good, but after the call is finished, all volumes will be incorrect. I can move the sliders media volume, ringer and alarm to no effect.
What appears to happen is that all when a call is connected, all volume values, except for call volume, get flipped to zero, similar to setting do not disturb. However, when the call ends, these volumes do not revert to their original values and instead stay silent. The frustrating part is that the volume sliders and notification bar give no indication that the volume values are at 0. The volume sliders can be moved up and down, with no changes to the actual volumes.
The only way to fix the issue is to perform a reboot. When the phone starts the reboot cycle, for a split second, an icon will appear in the notification bar showing that yes, it's in silent mode. And when the phone is up again, it is indeed in silent mode, requiring me to manually move the volume sliders back to max.
So there's definitely some disconnect between the visualization of the volume levels and the actual volume levels, coupled with the inability to change the volume levels until a reboot is performed.
I've tried going in and removing all apps from having do not disturb access aside from the numerous do not disturb toggle apps and nothing seems to make any difference.
Aside from a factory restore, anyone have any ideas?
