S4 has this freaking pop up message showing that turning volume up with headphones can damage user's hearing after a certain level. Since S4 has rather low volume output for headphones, it's really annoying that I have to take the phone out of a pocket and press OK.
Can anyone help me on either this, please?

This one has been bugging me for a while and for the most part I've just worked around it (by manually triggering the bug/fix myself first).
The situation is that X1 starts off at a particular volume level, and I start listening to music via PocketPlayer though from what I can tell it happens regardless. It sounds "ok", but noticeably flat? I dunno like a mono audio file even volume turned up, although I can't confirm that. Just describing.
OK the bug - if some kind of event happens, the volume suddenly jumps up, without actually changing the setting. So I'll be listening to music and if one of the following occurs:
1. receive or send an SMS/MMS
2. I toggle the phone function, i.e. turn off phone radio. when I turn it back on the volume doesn't change
the volume jumps up, and I have to say the music sounds much better. On the flip side, when the phone happens to ring, it's loud as hell, distorts like hell and annoys everyone in the process. The ringtone volume just sounds over-the-top.
Now I'm pretty sure it's not the music player because #2 (toggling the phone) seems to affect the volume already. The message box alert sound on toggling the phone seems louder the second time.
Anyone have or notice this issue?
The only volume threads I find are all about a low constant volume and don't sound like this one. FWIW I did try the reg changes anyway. It still varies.
Is there any way to turn this off? Every time I plug in headphones in 4.2 in Google Play Music it cuts the volume to under half, then if I try to go over half it pops up a warning that I am going to damage my hearing and I am a moron. So I click this stupid thing and then I can finally turn the volume up to max.
I AM PLUGGING IT INTO A CAR!! This is very annoying but I can't find the option to turn it off. Ideas?
Nope. And when you select okay and turn it up to max, it's then "normal", trololo
im going to need a custom rom just for this, unbelievable this isnt an option
practically blew out my ear drums today. thanks to the n7 i just set the volume higher on the car. today i plugged in my phone at full volume instead of the n7 and nearly destroyed my hearing because the car volume was set so high to make up for the n7. this stupid ****ing idea has actually caused me damage. thanks google, you idiots!
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.

Hello Everyone,
small issue on my Stock 4.4.2 Nexus 4 and it just started to happen either since 4.4.2 or sometime in the last couple weeks. The volume rocker will adjust the volume properly and then at some point im not sure when or why the volume rocker stops functioning properly and only appears to want to adjust the in-call volume. The Icon that appears when the rocker is actuated is that of the phone symbol not the phone symbol with sound lines emanating from it.
A reboot will fix the problem, however annoying that is. I have a suspicion that it might be related to bluetooth. My nexus4 automatically connects to my car. I am going to try to stop connecting to the in-car BT starting today to see if the problem stops.
That being said, if anybody knows what could be causing the problem that would be great. Otherwise I may just factory reset it over the next fews days.
thanks!
PS I have uploaded two pictures of the sound icon with and without the little sound lines if my descriptive powers have failed.
Hi everyone,
i have the following problem.
Whenever i change the media volume the phone will only show the current volume level, it doesn't change when i press the volume rockers. The volume changes correct but this is annoying.
This behavior won't appear at changing the normal ringer volume.
You can watch this phenomenon at the beginning of this little video.

Maybe someone knows about this problem?
I think this appeared after the 4.4.2 Update?!
My Nexus is running on Stock.
Best regards,
Gery
