Hi I've only had my nexus 4 for a few days and I love it. The only problem I have is that I struggle to hear SMS messages. The phone is very loud for calls but not for messages. Is there an app or setting that I can change to fix this? I'm on stock ROM atm.
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to be rooted to increase volume levels with a mod bro. You might look here if this helps https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liquidsoft.entertainment.volume.booster&hl=nl.
Another non root way is to download louder notification sounds and have a file manager app. To change sound go to sound in settings and use the file manger app just once in the pop up and find the notification sound you downloaded in the download folder of your SD partition.
Hi guys thanks for the replies. I've found an app that let's you browse tones and then set them from within the app. For anyone interested its called ZEDGE and is available on the play store.

Every couple of days my ring tones go to the annoying default ringtone, all I have to do is reboot my phone simple fact us it's annoying

Are the notification sounds in options being reset, or is it just the file won't play? Also, when it happens again see if you can play music in the music app. If it fails I'd net its the same crap from MOTO that plagues many DX's.

That's unusual. Are you running any exotic-type apps. Are you rooted? Apex has notification settings in the apps themselves. Just trying to figure this out.
Stock rooted and yea they wont play in music player when it happens they stop working until its rebooted wierd

Are you using gtunes to download your music? Formally known as mp3 music download... I had the same problem and noticed the ringtones would change after I would update the app... the app kept on updating like once a week

are you using the default sms app? I had this when i got my first android phone. Way round it was to disable the notification within the default app & then go into prefs of the new sms app.
Hope this helps.... if you already know this then i'm out of ideas :S

This. You have to disable the first app or you'll get either two notifications or just the standard SMS one.
Thanks guys got it working

Hey all, newbie to the forums and didn't see a thread anywhere so I started one.
I'm running my dx with apex 2.0 and if it makes a difference, I have the tbh tether patch flashed.
Anyway, I installed the google+ app and now my phone shows incoming calls, but it does not ring out loud. However, it does ring for sms and alarms. I've narrowed it to google + app by restoring to a clockwork backup and testing it to see if it rings, and as soon as I reinstalled g+, I was again given the silent treatment on all incoming calls.
Anyone have any ideas?

I just did a test call...and I'm not experiencing the same thing.
Recently installed G+ myself.
(I'm on CM7.)
Download an audio manager or maybe check your incoming call volume in sounds?
I've no idea bud.
Thanks for the quick reply. But that's the problem i'm having is sound settings force closes on me when I try to open it . I'll try the audio manager, any recommendations?

I'm on Apex 2 RC3, I was getting DSPManager crashes a few days ago, but that's stopped since, probably due to a reboot. I'm assuming you went directly into the sound settings to verify they're correct, or is that actually what's crashing?
I had some weird issues with apex as well, I could call people but couldn't actually talk to them, I couldn't find a fix or fix it myself, it seems alot of people have random issues with apex, I don't know if its the rom itself or whether the g apps package is the issue, I ended up moving on to a different rom after I couldn't fix the phone issues as obviously I need that, I wish you luck in finding a fix
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Sorry, haven't been on for a few days. But even after not installing g+, the issue has recreated itself so it looks like a titanium backup and re flash is coming tomorrow.
But to answer your question, the sounds settings is what crashes, I can't access anything within the menu.
Thanks for the replies, I'll post again if it happens after re flashing

Update: figured it out. For some reason it changed my default ringtone and would force close when I went to sound settings, but when I selected an mp3 file and set that file as a ringtone without using sound settings to do so, it seemed to clear up all my issues. Hope this helps someone

I know this is gonna sound pretty stupid but I can't figure out how to make custom ringtones on my Nexus 4. On my Galaxy Nexus I would just put a file of an mp3 in the ringtone folder. I'm doing the same thing but when I go to change the ringtone the file that I put in there won't appear in the default choices.

yes.
If you don't already have a folder named "Ringtones" at the root level of sdcard, create one and put your mp3 files in it. Same for "Notifications".
There is no need to use an app for this. I have 3 or 4 custom ringtones in my nexus 4 and I only put the mp3 in the ringtones folder and it works...:good:
i use the app ringo PRO! well worth it
That's what I did. I put it in the ringtones folder in the sd card. Exactly the same way I have done it since the nexus one but it won't show up when I'm going to the ring tones in sound settings. Do I have to reboot or something ?

Not sure if it makes a difference or not, but I cut my mp3 to the 30 second clip I want and then put that in my ringtone folder. It works fine for me without the need of an app.

Had no idea about the /Ringtones/ folder. Seems like Google should of had that since the beginning rather than have people randomly know this by adding a new folder
either way, rings extended is a pretty good app only 101 K. less than 1MB

Rebooting will do it... or just a little time for the mediaserver to discover it.

Maybe rebooting it's what you need
In that case rings extended is better no rebooting needed
In case you are running Linux, take a look at the following post to enable MTP mode (otherwise, you will never be able to see the existing Notification and Ringtones folders).

Not sure if I understand what you're asking but I have a default ringtone which is "over the horizon" and this is not ascending by default. I can go into my settings and select increased ringtone if my device is in my pocket and notice the ringtone does gradually increase if the device is in my pocket or gym bag.
Hope this helps!

Well, with the increased ringtone option selected or not, the ringtone starts at a very low volume and then it comes normal, and there is no option about it... Or is it??

This is default behaviour of samsung ROMs. If you want to disable ascending ringtone you'll have to root and use xposed module/ wanam xposed.

Ah, I understand now! The behavior you are experiencing is default in nature for your ringtone. You can use my suggestion to help increase the ringtone if the device is in your pocket or gym bag but it will start out low and gradually progress. Try to find a new ringtone or install a ringtone which is better and set this as your default ringtone.
If you like the one you have and just wish for it to be louder, you can customize through a root but if you do not wish to do this, check out the following app. I have used this on other devices so am not sure if it's compatible with the SG-N3:

which option from wanam deals with increasing ringer?
edit: found it lol - cheers!!
try this app "HandyPhone" in Google Play store, its better than the app "Disable Increasing Ring"
Open into HandyPhone, then enable ascending ring, set the initial ringing level to "maximum".
