[Q] N4 stock 4.3, low notification volume - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
My Nexus 4 arrived yesterday. I unpacked it, put my SIM card in, updated to 4.3, didn't have time to add any apps. Everything seems ok, even notifications are not being delayed on WiFi, but notification volume seems really low compared to ringer volume. I tried a few different notification sounds, that didn't help.
Has anyone experienced this with 4.3? Is there an easy fix?
I would appreciate your suggestions Thanks!

[Q] Random volume drops for incoming calls & messages

Ok, here is the deal: When i first start using Nexus 4 (brand new, stock rom, not rooted) i just thought the volume is very low. But then i observed that sometimes the sound of incoming message is exactly as i set (loud). But on next message, (nothing touched in settings) - sound is unhearable.. It applies mostly to sms messages, incoming calls (rare). Im using Light Flow for managing my LED, but sound control is not set there. I tried to set it there for fixed value but the problem remains. Even if its set to max, incoming message is unhearable. Like i said its not low all the time, randomly, the volume is ok but then it drops and i cant hear anything again.. Anyone experienced that kind of issue?
Regards
Yes. I've had my Nexus 4 for 3 weeks now and I came across your thread just to see if anyone can get the 4.2.2 stock rom volume issue fixed. I've read from many sources that 4.2.1 stock was solid but when 4.2.2 came into play was when the low volume issue began. I'm backing up my phone as we speak using the Nexus 4 toolkit and getting ready to downgrade to 4.2.1. I'll report back with my results.

[Q] Sound turns on by itself

I couldn't find any other threads discussing this so my apologies in advance if it has but I missed.
I recently updated to android 4.3 in the last week or so, and all of a sudden the sound turns itself on without me doing anything. I normally keep my phone in vibrate mode (from the notification bar) and once or twice a day, my phone will switch itself to sound on mode. Anybody have this problem or experienced this?

[Q] Constant notification sound goes off 5.0.1

Hi,
Rooted S4 on stock. Went from 4.4 to 5.0.1 OTA. Since then, the notification sounds constantly even when there are no notifications. I have muted notifications to stop it but that means I dont get notified for text etc
Anyone else experiencing this or any workarounds?
Thanks

N910G Lollipop 5.1.1 Notification Sound low volume + echo problem

Hello,
Recently bought a new Note 4 N910G grey market from Hong Kong, and want to figure out if the problem I am having is some dumb software problem, or a possible hardware issue I should be worried about.
The Problem:
Notification sounds seemingly randomly echo or play very softly or get cut-off or start halfway through... it's difficult to tell exactly or to tell if it's doing the same thing each time it happens. Often the second sound will be fine and the normal volume. It sometimes sounds like the sound is playing twice at the same time but too soft and out of sync. I may get two Facebook notifications (for example - as far as I can tell it happens to all notifications) and the first will be this odd soft sound (which I believe is the correct sound I have chosen being played, but with either a large echo or something, and far too soft) and then the second one will be totally normal.
I haven't noticed any issues playing audio. Just with notifications. Seems to happen with the screen on or off.
N910G with OTA update to 5.1.1, XSA variant.
My custom notification sounds are on external sd card, but I think it's happened to some that aren't as well - like the inbuilt Skype sound which I can't change.
Anyone else have this problem? Does it sound like software, or hardware? Any idea how to troubleshoot or fix it?
Thanks heaps.
No one?

Random Notification Sound After MM Update

Ok, so I've been running the stock Lollipop (rooted) on my Sprint S5 for a little over a year. Recently unrooted, then did the OTA update to Marshmallow which for the most part went well.
However, since updating to Marshmallow, I'm getting a random notification sound that is happening. There is no visible activity, action or notification when the notification sound happens. It happens if the phone is on standby, or even if I'm actively using it. The sound is kind of a "drop" noise. Sounds somewhat like the Facebook or Hangouts message notification sound, but a deeper tone. I've disabled tons of settings, looked through all the menus and options, and nothing so far has identified what it is that is causing it. Thinking maybe if I could find the sound file for the notification it would help figure out what was causing it I've even searched the entire storage of the phone for all audio files and can't even find that specific notification sound, so it must be something embedded in the OS or an app/service.
Any thoughts or similar experiences?
Thanks in advance for any help or insight.
I can't be the only one experiencing this. Anyone? :/
