Volume Fluctuations - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So basically I've had an audio problem for all things (Bluetooth, earphones and speaker), where I've got media playing at, say 50% on the slider bar, then it suddenly drops to like 10% without the bar position changing before it suddenly returns to the normal state. This is extremely random for me and irritating, as the volume can stay low for an extended period of time, especially since by the time the volume returns to normal, I've raised the volume so it makes me jump when it suddenly blares a YouTube volume. Has anyone found a solution?
I have a rooted Samsung note 4 with the lamlazy note 7 port rom
Many thanks in advance

[Q] Stock unrooted Nexus 4 volume question?

Could not find a thread that mentioned this issue so started a new one. If there is one, please link me. I am on stock unrooted N4 and love it. In the last couple of weeks I have noticed something odd with volume when playing google music app. I can be listening to a song and if I hit volume up. I get the ringer volume level which is already set pretty high but, moving the bar left or right does not change the volume of the song I am listening to. Other times when I am listening to a google play song and hit the volume, I get the speaker icon showing midway in the bar and I am able to raise or lower volume of song ok. The volume at midpoint when listening to music app is high and can increase even more but, when the ringer volume displays in google music app, the overall volume is half as loud and lose notification sound for incoming texts and mail.
The only way to resolve this issue is to reboot or power off the phone. I am using light flow and I wonder if the app's volume setting are causing the problem. If so, I may remove light flow lite app.
Tia,

[Q] Nexus 7 Speaker Failure

Hey Guys,
I have a unrooted nexus 7 which has been working fine until a month ago... It started with the power button no longer responding which somehow corrected it self. That sameday I'm watching a you tube video and the speaker buzzed for a second locking up the video, so I had to replay the video and suddenly had no sound... I played around with all the volume controls in the settings and had no success however the volume control for alarm and notification alarm did play a test sound when I moved the bar but did not increase in volume or decrease just remained at the same soft level no matter where I placed my finger on the control bar. But the headphones still work.
So I did a factory reset and it had no effect. I left the device off for a few hours and turned it back on and the audio came back like new, but after 15 to 20 mins it goes right back to the same problem I had since I watched the you tube video... No one else seems to be experiencing this so I think the speaker or something in the hardware has failed... I'll probably RMA but if any one has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
Thanks
I think you are correct about the hardware problem. When it's an hardware issue nothings better than RMA.

[Q] Display Problem (low battery dimming) and Audio Problem (reduced headphone vol)

I have recently purchased a Verizon Galaxy S4 and love it. Initially I planned on loading a custom ROM but now that it is rooted and I have removed much of the bloatware, I realize I don't want to give up most of these Touchwiz features. However, there are two simple issues I have never had with an android device before that are bugging me.
First of all, as I'm sure many of you have noticed, when the battery reaches a certain level, the brightness dims to the lowest level possible and you lose the ability to manipulate the brightness. Generally this happens when my phone has at least a couple hours of battery life remaining. Granted, a bright screen will reduce this time but I'd rather have some usable time than none, as the brightness level reaches a point where the phone is completely unusable if you are exposed to any sunlight at all. I have tried going through the settings as well as overriding the brightness with an app I have called Screen Dim to no avail. Has anyone had success brightening the screen at low battery?
Additionally, every time you plug in a 3.5mm stereo jack into the phone, it drops down the volume and usually forces you to acknowledge a dialog box prior to permitting you to raise the volume. This is a wonderful feature if you are completely oblivious and all you ever use are low impedance headphones. However, I use this almost exclusively on loudspeaker stereos, 90% of the time it is my car stereo while I am driving. Occasionally I use bluetooth headphones but I'm not dumb enough to blast that on full volume so this feature is pointless to me. So now here is one more button I have to read and push while in the act of driving in order to get music playing which is unsafe. Is there any way to circumvent this annoyance?

Problem with my media player volume.

My media player volume keeps increasing and decreasing randomly and this is extremely irritating while listening to music. The only solution, albeit a temporary one, is to restart the phone every time this happens. But its just a matter of time before it starts randomly fluctuating again. Is there any solution for this?
Hi.
Maybe the problem is that your audio sources have different volume levels. In this case you should look for an app that use something called ReplayGain. I think Poweramp use it. I don't know about others...
Edit: just adding a link which explain it better than me maybe
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReplayGain
I had this problem on my 6P also. This just suddendly came after 2 weeks running on stock without any updates or anything. 1 week later still on same stock it got even worse. The fysical volume buttons stopped responding and I where only able to regulate the volume through software.
I then desided to f*ck the stock, root and use cyanogenmod/lineageOS roms instead and none of the problems have returned. The problems could maybe have been resolved just with a normal factory reset ? But overall the phone runs smoother and better than stock.

Audio and LED notification problem/question

Hello!
Firstly, I have Exynos variant of Galaxy S8. Anyone noticed that the Led notification sometimes lights about half of the normal intensity? Never got any pattern, just happens randomly. It shows notifications like it should do, but with very low intensity. It is something software or it is a hardware issue?
About the sound.
Let's say you open music app or any other app with sound. This happens only with headphones (any), when the volume bar goes to the last 2-3 steps, the sound never gets louder, but it just "saturate" and it remains the same as before. Practically, the last 3 steps of the media volume, keeps the volume constant (step 15,14 is the same as step 13). For like 0.1 second it volumes up (step 14 louder than 13), like passes a threshold and then automatically volume becomes the same as the previous step 13 ( but the volume bar doesn't go down).
Is there any limitation I can't see, any app interference or so?
Thank you!
Never happened to anybody any of these?
The LED uses the ambient light sensor to determine intensity. There doesn't appear to be a way to disable this behavior. No clue on your second issue.
