Volume Toggles Getting Stuck - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is this a known bug? My media volume usually gets stuck where I can't move the volume higher or lower and the same for my phone volume and can't set it to vibrate and I have to reboot every time.

I've had this happen a couple of times too. Not enough to notice any pattern in when it happens yet.

It happened to me few time after installing power toggles few weeks ago. I uninstalled it and have not had any more freezes.

Mine is still stock and unrooted.

It happened to me but then I realized my Netflix app was holding up the audio. I watched something but didn't exit properly. I just had to bring up the multi tasking window and swipe out Netflix. Maybe you have another audio app you opened just before and it hasn't releases the audio control yet

I've replicated the problem. When spotify is playing and I yank out my headphone without stopping it it meses with the toggles. King of annoying really. Never happened with my GNex.

But if you close out spotify on the multi-task bar do you get control back?

No I had to reboot. Now I have to hit pause to remove the headphone because if I don't it would continue playing through the speaker instead of pausing like it should.

Nexus 7 mutes itself and won't un-mute

My Nexus 7 keeps muting the speakers and I the only way I can get it out is to turn it off and on again.
When its muted itself (I don't even know how to mute it) the volume rocker display shows the speaker with a line across it (muted).
Sometimes the rocker won't change the the blue volume level bar and sometimes it will allow me to increase the volume level to maximum but the speaker stays in muted mode.
Anybody have any idea what is going on?

I just got this too. I was playing with Tasker at the time, not sure if it's related.
maybe it is a rogue app
I had the same problem (Google brought me here). I was able to fix it by killing media related programs until the sound came back. In my case the culprit was Netflix. As soon as I killed Netflix, the sound came back and I was able to change the volume again. Hope this helps.

I don't have netflix and it still mutes itself? any other ideas?
Does anyone know if it's a specific version of Netflix that causes this to happen? I wonder if it's something they know about and are working on.

Hold down power until you get the power off menu. The last option is called silent mode and it mutes and unmutes the device. Hope that helps

Hi, could you please give instructions on how to "kill media-related programs" as you describe above on the Nexus 7? I would like to try your suggestion, as my Nexus 7 has no sound. I don't have Netflix installed. Thanks.

Try locking the screen with the music player in the foreground once.

Can I ask you something. When you were using headset control did you have artefacts on lock screen like either shrunk camera app or music widget that was blinking intermittently?
This only happens when on lock screen (screen on) and pressing headset button to play music ...

Headphones music control

Here's another problem I encountered using s4. When using the button on the headphones that came with the phone to switch to next music track I noticed that it only works about 50% of the time and other 50% it recognizes it as play/pause command which is really annoying and makes headphone controls practically useless. Anybody had same problems?

nope yours are probably faulty
But it seems as software problem not hardware because if I only press the button once, music stops and resumes every time.

Audio question

Does anyone else having problems when leaning to music... like my volume for headphones are super low even when turned all the up?
I have the htc one and the headphone audio is so much louder

Thats really strange my volume has been perfect since day one on mine. Maybe see if you can swap it out at the sprint store or something if it hasnt been too long.

I know exactly what you mean! What's odd for me is that it fixed itself 9 hours later. Strange.
I had the same issue too....seems to me if i get a text message while listening to music or youtube.....the volume will be low until i restart that app or the phone....really strange..
Clear the RAM
I have had this issue with all the stock based ROMs for the music volume getting "turned down". I found out what fixes it is when you clear the RAM. It is very annoying as the music volume will just spike up and down sometimes and I didn't have this problem with CM. I clear it by selecting the Active Apps Manager widget -> RAM -> Clear. Its not a permant fix and sometimes the volume will instantly be turned down again

Headphones control issue?

I'm having some annoying issues with the music controls on the included headphones. It seems nearly impossible to skip songs by double clicking the button, I always just pause and unpause the music repeatedly. Also, if I have music controls enabled (so I can use the volume buttons on the phone to change songs), the volume buttons on the headphones are disabled. I'm not sure if this is more of a custom ROM issue, or just the way it is. But my main concern is skipping songs barely working.
Any way to fix this?
-Thanks

If you are running a custom ROM, you'll probably get better answers in that ROM's Q&A thread... just sayin'
I have no issues with the operation of the headphone buttons with the stock ROM.
Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was the ROM or just how it is, but I'll check out the ROM Q&A.
