Hi All!
I have heard about similar issues around, but now I have one, and the problem is that I run stock android 4.3 on my Nexus 4.
The issue is not always there. It happens occasionaly and then dissapears.
What exactly happens: sometimes I stop hearing sounds of notifications and ringing. Media and alarm are working at the same time.
When I try to change the volume in Sound-->Volumes I get the situation on the image in the attachment.
So whatever I do, I get "silent" ringtone. After clicking OK, and opening the Volumes once again, the ringer volume is set back to "silent"
I have also looked a bit into the adb console in my android studio and when having the issue I have a couple of lines, that don't appear when The issue is not present:
Code:
audio_hw_primary: out_set_parameters: exit: code(1)
Not sure if it helps but still.
Does anyone know what could be the cause? Where should I dig? Thanks!
The icon means your ringer has been muted. Have someone call you and then use the volume rocker to turn the volume up

Thanks for the answer, but I believe it's not what you say. I am able to talk using the phone with no problems, without even touching the volume rocker. So this is not muted. However, the situation on the picture results in muting the notification and ringing sound.
So I see it as a different problem.
I meant the icon means it's on silent

I understand. But the behavior should be as follows: I drag the volume level and the icon changes, right? This is not happening. However I drag the widget, the "muted" icon does not change.
But I will still try what you suggest, though I am sure it is not the source of the problem, as in your case it would not turn on and off by itself.

Hello,
Is there any way to either set the SMS notification volume explicitly or to make it behave like the phone volume?
As it is now it follows the device volume, which I most often turn off to stop getting annoying beeps and clicks.
Yours

andreakn - Did you ever get a fix for this? If so I would love to hear what it was.
I have exactly the same problem/annoyance.
I wondered why I kept missing texts, and it was because I had the volume turned right down. I only assumed it was controlled via the phone volume as that would be sensible but apparently not. Anyone know of a way to fix this?
Now I'm bumping this..
Ok, I really hate bumping this much but there must be an app of some description..
I'd be very interested in this too if anyone has a solution.

I use PocketZenPhone, and there you have to set device volume to at least 01 to get any SMS sound or Vibration. On that level though there aren't any beeps and clicks...
PZP uses the devices standard controls, so the conclusion is, SMS sound are dependent on the device volume, not the phone volume, but when you set it to the lowest level you can have at least vibration.
I couldn't find an answer to this 'problem' so maybe it's something specific for my phone, but I can't listen to my radio in 'vibrate' mode of the telephone. When I turn op the volume my phone automaticaly leaves silent mode, and that's very annoying. I can't find away to change this in the 'normal' audiosettings of the phone, so is it possible to change this, or is it only possible to listen to your radio when not in silence mode?

Errr.. yeah, of course! Can't you just set your ringtone to vibrate as well, and then you can turn the ringer right down, and leave the system volume high? (there's the setting to have single volume for ringer and system, or 1 volume for each).

Why not just put the phone into Airplane mode so any incoming calls go to voicemail.
You can either use tweak to have system and ringer volumes independent, or to disable HTC volume control altogether. I use it like this because standard WM volume controls use volume keys for controlling system volume rather then ringer volume, or combined volume.
The first tweak is in sticky tweaks thread, the other is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431588
I don't understand why this is so obvious.
But if it's not possible than the tip for putting my ringtone to vibrate should work, although it's a pity I would have to change this everytime I don't want to listen to my radio anymore.
And the Airplane mode is not an option, because I want to be able to send/receive sms for example, and when somebody calls me it's OK too.
For example, when I am in the train and I don't want to disturb other people, but I still want to listen to my radio, I would like to do this in Vibrate mode so no noices (sms, incomming calls, system alarms etc.) would make any noices

Thank you, this would be of good use! Because indeed, I want to use those two independent, and I find it very weird it's not something 'standard' on the phone. I will try to tweak, merci

It is standard. Go to the settings tab and select "Sound & Display". There's an option under "volume" where you set whether to use single volume, or ring/system volume (controlled seperately). Then, under "Ring and Notifications", set Ring Type to Vibrate and ring.
Then, when you want to drop the ringer volume, just go to change the volume with the buttons and you can toggle between system and ringer. Just set the ringer to nothing (not silent), and set the system to whatever you want for the radio. That way, the phone will only vibrate when you get a call, but you can still listen to the radio.
Hope this helps
This seem to work John, although I can't test at the moment if other sounds like sms and so will be there, but I am getting somewhere!
Thanks again

No problem mate. Glad to be of help
Today I experienced a strange issue with my Leo. The ring volume autosets itself to silent. I manually increase it to max (both ring and system) using the volume keys but immediately after exiting the volume control window it sets itself to silent. I tried to set it to vibrate only but - same thing, it goes to silent again. The sound icon in the taskbar shows normal volume (i.e. not silent). When I receive a call it does not ring nor it vibrates. Its silent. The device plays music and sounds normally. I believe there must be a registry key that somehow was changed but I'm not sure which program might have caused that.
I use Phonegate call filtering app and Iconsoft PhoneX but cannot find anything in their settings that would cause it. Also tried removing them - no effect. Soft reset - many times
HR may be?
are you sure it is setting to silent? it could be that the chosen ringtone doesn't exist anymore? Try changing to a different ringtone and back again.
Tried that but still with no success
hmm, could it be that you have an appointment set, and the phone set to go silent during appointments?
Stupid me! In the windows sounds and notification settings, Notifications tab I found that for the Incoming call event the ring type was mysteriously changed to NONE when it should be set to RING. I don't know how could this happen by itself... But thank you, samsamuel for your logical suggestions and sorry for posting before thoroughly check my device.
hehe no worries, it generally turns out to be something simple.
Every time I answer the first call of the day, I have to turn up the volume, which is very low. Does it default to low volume from start up?
Also, I frequently put my phone on vibrate with no ringer, then back to full volume ringer throughout the day. This wouldn't have anything to do with call volume, would it? Sometimes mid-day the call volume is back to low.
I use a bluetooth when driving to work, but adjust the call volume on that device, not the phone.
Am I just doing something dumb, here?
Thanks

Stock T-Mobile ROM
That setting you mention only has the choices ring tone, and ring type, which I had on Vibrate AND ring.

ok thanks. This is my first Windows phone. Installing a different ROM seems over my head, unless I can do it on my MAC?
Hey there guys,
So I've noticed the oddest thing, You know how you can lower your ringer volume by just clicking down as many times as you want until it is on vibrate then finally silent. Well on mine it doesn't. I can click the down volume button a few times and the meter shows the yellow bar decreasing, yet when the phone rings it is still on full blast. The only thing that works is full blast, vibrate and silent which is strange and inconvenient when I'm in public because I don't want to put it on vibrate or silent, I just want to lower it a bit so its not so startlingly loud in public. Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks,
Haven
