Different volume bars not appearing - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I just got my Nexus 4 and I noticed that when you push the volume keys, you only get one volume bar and no options to show other volumes like it's supposed to happen with Jelly Bean. As I readed, you should get a settings icon at the right side of the volume bar to show other volumes but I'm not getting that icon so if I'm not using any application and I want to change the media volume, I have to go to settings --> sound --> volume wich is very annoying.
Here is a screen of what should happen:

I'm only getting one bar and with no options to show any ohter ...
Is this by any chance desactivted on Nexus 4 or something?
Thank you!

actually this is the first time i see this second bar... maybe it was a feature of a custom rom?

Well, It could be, but as far as I know it's a Jelly Bean feature, you just have to google "Jelly Bean tips" and you'll get toon of pages that reference the volume bars thing. It should be possible to activate it... Or maybe it's not an offcial feature or maybe they removed it in android 4.2.2 idk :S

after searching for a while i found this... same problem, and a (lil more difficult) way to get the thing running? Don't know if this will help you?
Of, course you will find this function in some of the custom roms around, but i don't think it's the solution you are searching for At least i tried helping

Afaik these options only exist in custom roms

Jelly Bean volume states (Sound -> Vibrate)

As we all know, with Jelly Bean one of the volume states disappeared. In ICS it used to be possible to use the volume rockers to go: Sound -> Vibrate -> Silent and viceversa. Now, with JB, the "complete silent state" is gone.
I have decompiled the framework.jar file and looked at the AudioService.smali file, which I believe is where the behavior is configured, but I have really little experience and I don't really know what to touch.
Basically with this thread, I'd like to know if anyone with more experience would take a look at it, as I'm sure a lot of people would be appreciative. If anybody has already messed around with the smali code, please share your experience.
Thanks!
Just scroll down notification bar and press the button..

That's not the point. Of course you can get around it in a thousand ways, but it's a simple functionality that has always been there and it would be nice to have back. This is not a post about how to get to silent state, we all know how to. It's about modifying the behavior of the volume rockers.

Option to cut off notification sounds

Hi All
I did a few searches throgh this forum but couldn't find the answer I was after. Basically I'm after some way to cut off or override the sound of notifications while the phone is in my pocket. I had thisfeature on my Atrix using MIUI so unsure if it's a feature/option relating to MIUI itself but would very much like the same functionality using the i9505. Does anyone know how I might achieve this?
Thanks in advance

If you're looking to turn off the notification sounds (or change the volume) click one of the buttons for volume and click the gear the the right of the volume bar and then you can change the ringtone , media , notifications and system.
Hi, thanks for the reply, That's not exactly what I'm after.
Basically when you have a notification going off and you drag the notification bar down, it'll cut out the sound. I used to be able to hit the power button when my Atrix was in my pocket and it would do the same thing. I'm just looking to be able to do the same thing with the S4.

[Q] Some issues after flashing the final 4.3 JB ROM by jamal

I have been flashing almost every incremental update from Jamal. It has been a great experience to see the improvements from every update. After flashing to the supposedly last final update before 4.3.1, I found that so far there are 2 features missing.
1. Call settings is no where to be found... I vaguely remember it was there before the update. Call forwarding is not possible through settings...
2. The ability to switch keyboards through the keyboard icon on the left side of notification bar is gone. before the update, I was able to switch to the standard Google Keyboard from the SwiftKey Keyboard. it is no longer possible now...
Can anyone confirm this?

No worries, found it on the menu option in the dialer
I wonder if the original GPE ROM is the same...
But there's still no way for me to change from SwiftKey Keyboard to others without going into the Language and Input menu...
Other than that, Jamal's finaly ROM is near perfect :good:

[Q] Notification Volume

So I've run across an issue that is quite bothersome to me.
is there no option to make the notification volume change with the ringer volume?
I haven't found the setting anywhere and on both my old htc and samsung devices there was an option, does lg not have one or am I missing it?

If you press the settings cog in the volume slider in the notification Window it let's you change volume for a bunch of different things, I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for.

No, I know how to change the volume.
What I'm looking for is a setting to make the notification volume change at the same time as the ringer volume.

Gotcha, I haven't looked too hard at that, I will take a look when I get a few minutes.
I'm sure there's an app that let's you do this. Have you checked the play store?
Nothing that I've found works so far

HTC U11 - Oreo 8.0 Buglist

I'm creating this thread to collect bugs found in the Oreo software that devs can take a look at for their ROMs, and possibly report to HTC depending on importance.
My first bug is cosmetic. The app icons are not consistent at all, and this goes further than the home screen launcher. If you hit the share button, the size of the icons vary, some big and some small.
My second bug is a little more annoying, and I'm not sure how to replicate. I was using Google Maps in and out of PiP mode (I drive Uber, so I come in and out of Maps constantly), and after some extensive switching, the PiP app wouldn't maximize, and my Recent Apps panel would not activate. The actual recents button could still activate multi-window, but it wouldn't cycle through the last two apps or activate the Recents carousel. The behavior returned to normal after a reboot. I am currently stock rooted, but I'm quite certain that has nothing to do with this issue. I will report if this happens again, and pay more attention to any possible causes. I might report this one to HTC.
My third bug is cosmetic, but a little on the annoying side. When switching Bluetooth audio profiles (found in dev options, for those who don't know), the codec that is displayed doesn't change, but you still hear the difference in audio. Also, aptx HD doesn't work for me. When selected, I hear no difference in the sound.
Ok....so my nav buttons are not working, but my home button is still working....am In the only one who is experiencing this? It is very sporadic, and fixes with a reboot.

You're not the only one. My Nav buttons stopped responding 3 times in last 2 days. Had to restart.

PIP is not convenient to use now. For example, you can open youtube.com in chrome, request desktop site, play some video in fullscreen, press home button, then you get your PIP feature.
After update my battery reduction too much..
Maybe not exactly bugs, but a few things that bother me are how ugly the icons are and that it's using the default notification sound when I'm on low battery and it plays the notification sound coming in and out of night mode as well. I don't need to be notified with a sound about coming in and out of night mode and I'd prefer the regular buzz buzz sound of the low battery rather than thinking I got a message of something.
I hate the persistent notifications of things running in the background or drawing over... Not a bug, but a 'feature'.

It might seem a weird thing to do but try clearing cache and data from Google play services, playstore etc. I remember when I turned off all permissions to playservices my buttons stopped working as well except home button. Worth a try.

here the second solution works for me in my htc u11 whit oreo
https://www.thecustomdroid.com/hide-persistent-notifications-on-android-oreo/
Turn on Wi-Fi automatically
Turn on Wi-Fi automatically function is missing in wifi preferences, according to oreo new function it as to be there
The settings area on top has got to be the stupidest thing they have done. "Suggestions". Who the hell cares about it. Mine will not go away. Keeps saying connect usonic ear phones. I deleted all of touch pal junk as well.

Third option worked great for me. Thanks
Probably more a feature than a bug, but I miss being able to pull down the notification shade and toggling between Do Not Disturb, Priority Mode, and Normal. Now tapping the icon just turns on Priority Mode. I can't seem to find an easy way to turn on Do Not Disturb without long-pressing the icon. Does anyone else know a better way?

You can turn off the night mode notification. I set it to still show the icon in the top bar but not make a sound. It took a while to find, and I forget where it is. Maybe the notification settings for the system app.
When the screen is off and you double click the power button to access camera, it will not pop up with a preference choice (assuming you have more than one camera installed) unless you time it exactly with putting your fingerprint on the scanner
My shortcut options when you long press an icon are completely gone on every launcher.
Edit: Suddenly works. Odd.
My phone's bluetooth connects with my car's. Tried to play spotify But the audio plays on my phone still. My car sees th title of the song, just for display....Wasn't like this before the update... Must be the bluetooth 5.0 thing?
