Hello!
Firstly, I have Exynos variant of Galaxy S8. Anyone noticed that the Led notification sometimes lights about half of the normal intensity? Never got any pattern, just happens randomly. It shows notifications like it should do, but with very low intensity. It is something software or it is a hardware issue?
About the sound.
Let's say you open music app or any other app with sound. This happens only with headphones (any), when the volume bar goes to the last 2-3 steps, the sound never gets louder, but it just "saturate" and it remains the same as before. Practically, the last 3 steps of the media volume, keeps the volume constant (step 15,14 is the same as step 13). For like 0.1 second it volumes up (step 14 louder than 13), like passes a threshold and then automatically volume becomes the same as the previous step 13 ( but the volume bar doesn't go down).
Is there any limitation I can't see, any app interference or so?
Thank you!
Never happened to anybody any of these?
The LED uses the ambient light sensor to determine intensity. There doesn't appear to be a way to disable this behavior. No clue on your second issue.

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.

Longtime Android user here, with a Shiny New Verizon S7, stock (Android 6.0.1, model SM-6930V). However, I have an odd issue. I have the volumes for the various events set per my preferences. None are at full volume, and they all play at my preset volumes.
However, if I plug in a wired headset (connect it to the aux input jack in my car), notifications are really quiet as if at the lowest setting, regardless of the volume level I actually had set. If I'm playing music (say, Pandora) when a notification fires, the music volume is automatically lowered as usual, but the notification sound is low. Music returns to normal once the notification sound has finished playing.
If, while plugged in, I go to the volume settings, the sliders are where I left them. If I move the notification volume slider around, it doesn't change the notification volume (unless I slide it to 'off', where it does turn the volume all the way down).
I've downloaded a few different apps to try to fix this, to no avail.
Odd, and frustrating, behavior.
Has anyone seen this, or have any ideas? It's a company phone, so I can't root it. :-/
Bueller...?
So basically I've had an audio problem for all things (Bluetooth, earphones and speaker), where I've got media playing at, say 50% on the slider bar, then it suddenly drops to like 10% without the bar position changing before it suddenly returns to the normal state. This is extremely random for me and irritating, as the volume can stay low for an extended period of time, especially since by the time the volume returns to normal, I've raised the volume so it makes me jump when it suddenly blares a YouTube volume. Has anyone found a solution?
I have a rooted Samsung note 4 with the lamlazy note 7 port rom
Many thanks in advance
Long story short. i have the oneplus 6 along with 2 other people i know and we all have the same issue. when our headphones are in and we receive a call, the ringer blasts full volume through the headphones, whether music is being played at a lower volume, or the phone is in standby on silent or vibrate. is there any known fix to this issue?? Setting notification to "never" in the earphone mode settings have 0 effect on the 3 different phones that i have tried to do this with.
any advice would be appreciated
