So I've had the n7 for a few weeks and love it. Running android 4.2 and nothing rooted. The 1 thing that annoys me most is that the volume rocker only seems to affect media volume, no matter where I am on the device. I have to open setting to adjust notification volume.
This isn't how it has worked on any other Android phone or tablet I've used. The volume rocker controls notification volume on everything else and it adjusts the media volume when I'm in a game or music/movie player.

If you find out the reason, i want to know it.
I wish it would only control media volume for me, i hate it controlling the ringer/notification volumes, but unfortunately there's no "fix" for that.
Maybe you found the magic solution xD
I found if im watching a video or listening to music it will only effect what im listening too, or if I do it on the main screen with nothing running it will change all the volumes.
You can press the rocker once and then tap the mixer button on the right side of the volume slider to bring up other volume options, but the main reason is most people set the notification volume and then just leave it alone. Media volume is the only thing that needs quick adjusts, usually. -Ara

This makes sense, but it's not what I'm used to. I guess I have to adjust to it. I'd like to be able to just control notification volume from say the home screen like I can my on my android phone. Oh well. 1 extra step won't kill me

Is there a way to improve the sound quality or make it louder? Also is there another way to wake up/turn off the phone without using the top button?

On the speaker or through headphones? Either way, DSP Manager allows you do boost volume. But be very careful when boosting volume through the speaker, it can very well blow if you boost it too much. And that app will only allow you to boost it a little bit before it starts to distort.
Also is there another way to wake up/turn off the phone without using the top button?

There are a few apps like No Lock that allow you to use the volume keys to unlock. Aside from that, there is no other way to wake the screen.

I can wake my EVO with the volume buttons. Some ROMs have this option baked in, no app needed. Decks ICS ROM has this, for example.

The latest mikg ROM has it also
wake evo 4g with other than top button
cyanogenmod 7 has the option of using side volume buttons to wake phone
There are several roms that use the volume buttons to turn on the screen. its called "volume rocker wake" in the display settings normally on the phone.
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.

I just got the G2 and its great but I can't hear any of my notifications, the volume is maxed and I still don't think its loud enough. Is there anything I can do?
Slide down the notification bar. On the right hand side of the volume rocker there's a settings Option.
Press on it and it will allow you to adjust the volume of your notifications individually.

Check if it's on Max.

I've read a few topics on the G2 regarding it having low volume but recently I was messing with my nieces and I ran into something I believe is a glitch. When you lower the ringtone volume it also affects the media volume. Playing with it I was so disappointed that I checked the media volume was maxed all the way (which it was). I then selected settings button next to it and ringtone volume was on vibrate so I decided to raise the bar while Pandora ran. Increasing this volume made the media volume get noticeably louder. It seems the left speaker takes an increase/decrease depending on your ringtone volume. Can anyone else check this out? Ps I'm messing with a Sprint G2 if it matters..

There are no left and right speakers...only the one on the right. The left side is the microphone.
I noticed this also. I thought it was due to my G2 being rooted with the volume boosting mod.
When you have your ringtone on vibrate the media volume seems to be only outputting 70 percent or so even if you have the slider to max volume. Once you move the ringtone off vibrate, the sound instantly jumps to 100 percent. Weird...

Actually it gives it an impressive boost! The louder you max your ringtone volume the louder the media volume gets lol. I'm sure it's a glitch but at least I found a way to not be so annoyed with low media output. Now I actually tell my niece to lower her darn games. That's what I get for tinkering around with it Lol

Oh ok that's good to know. Extremely weird tho that increasing ringtone volume make it sound like the left side is picking up volume. Maybe the increase in volume is so much it has the speaker pouring out the left side too. You sure that mic is not both?

So whenever I listen to music and the sound is too low, i turn up the volume with one button press. Now it is too loud. When i turn it back down, it is too soft. Is there anyway to divide the media volume bar into more sections?

There an xposed module that makes the slider have 30 steps, it's like xvolumemod or something. You can download it straight in the app.
