Problem reproduced like this:
1. I set my media volume to 0 (mute).
2. I reboot my phone (exynos vers).
3. My media volume will be at maximum when using any app (games, youtube, mxplayer, etc) although the slider will still show 0 volume.
4. Pressing volume down on the physical button will not decrease the volume (the slider will keep showing volume at 0). I can only mute the volume again by pressing volume up first (the volume then immediately becomes lower) followed by pressing down again.
5. The volume will not reset to maximum again until I reboot my phone.
Anyone experienced this problem or know what could be causing it? It's driving me crazy!!
Thanks.
EDIT: I have done more testing and this behaviour only happens when the volume is set to zero before reboot. If the volume is set to anything else, it remains at that level correctly after reboot.
Yup its a bug that annoys the crap out of me.
Exact same, i reboot a few times in a day depending what am doing with the device.
I always listen to music while i work.
If bluetooth fails to connect, Music blurs out the handset even though it was on silent.
Pressing the rocker up and down re-set it back to vibrate.
But really annoying

Yeah annoys the crap out of me. I didn't even figure out it was because of the reboots until today. Are you on stock? Rooted?
Stock, Rooted, TWRP
Latest Firmware.
Build: APD3 i think its on,
Baseband: APBD

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.
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.

Two issues here. First is the warning about turning the volume up to loud. How can we remove this warning?
I saw someone mention going into the default music player and turning on smart volume. Problem is when I do this, all my songs start out at a real low volume. To get the sound back up, I either have to turn it up more than it was, or skip back to last song, then skip forward and it starts playing at a louder volume.
Second issue is I have noticed with Google Music on the S4 ( did not experience this with my S3) the volume at random times will adjust by itself. A song will go to a lower volume then a few seconds later come back. I see this sometimes, but not all the time.

Believe it or not, I actually experienced both of this issues myself on my S 4.
1.) I have not found a way to remove that warning natively. There are a few 'ad blocker' apk's you can install that let you adjust rules for the apk and you can set it to ignore those types of notifications on your device. Successfully doing this should fix your issue.
2.) I had this auto readjusting volume issue and mine did it often. I tried everything from reinstalling GMusic, redownloading some of my music, playing with every setting possible and nothing fixed it. I read somewhere to disable the app's service, clean the phone cache and any information for GMusic, restart the device then re-enable the GMusic service, force stop it and reopen the app.
Seems, kind of weird to me - but I haven't had the volume readjust at all.
You can force stop, enable and disable apps by going to System Settings > More > Application Manager
Hi.
I had this weird problem earlier today which was solved the same way it occurred; it just happened for no apparent reason. So I was listening to music through my earbuds and its volume controls were working fine. After a while I noticed that the volume wouldn't increase when I clicked the volume up button, but it would decrease when I used the volume down button. So I unlocked my phone before trying to adjust the volume using the earbuds and for some reason volume up turned on Google Now instead of turning up the media volume.
I tried to uninstall updates and turn off Google Now but that didn't help, I also restarted the phone which didn't help either. After I managed to deactivate the app the volume up button didn't give any response at all.
So I ended up just leaving it like that, but when I tested it a few minutes later it worked fine again! Just like that. I didn't do anything! I was listening through Spotify like I always do.
What kind of sorcery is this?
I'm having problems with call volume. It's very loud. Everytime I try to turn it down with volume buttons I see "bluetooth" volume bar and it doesn't chane anything. To access normal (built-in speaker) volume settings I have to switch loudspeaker on and then switch it off. Then icon changes from bluetooth to normal speaker and I can change call volume but it's still to loud even on min. level wich is 20% as I can't go lower either by using vol buttons or sliding on volume bar.
Also I noticed that there are only 5 steps in call volume settings. Going down from 100% I can go 4 steps down to 20%. Fifth step would be 0% but it just won't go down below 20%.
Anyone know how to fix it?
I tried Gravitybox, but it changes steps for media volume only.
I have android 8.0
bump & update
Bluetooth volume bar only shows for first call after phone reboot. After doing the loudspeaker on/off trick with every next call volume buttons change ear speaker volume (very slightly and only 4 steps)
