[Q] Sound volume issues - goes low/high by itself - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im having a very wired issue since today's morning,
The volume of the sound suddendly goes from 100% to 20%.
In the settings it shows its on max volume, but everything is very low.
It comes and goes by itself.
At first I thought its because my recent kernel change, so I wiped cache & dalvik, and it was ok.
after the whole day, I noticed it just comes and goes.
I havent installed anything new lately, and I dont do anything with the phone...its mostly idle & receiving calls / sms / GTalk. nothing more.
Im running stock 2.3.5 rom with SpeedModd K2-16.
Anyone has a decent solution for this (very) annoying issue?
Just to make it clear, the last time it happend was minutes ago,
I saw the volume is ok, I tried to send myself SMS and by the time it got to my phone - the sound was extremely weak, if not the screen on for sms, I wouldnt even hear it...and Im in my home now, and its pretty quiet.
The phone didnt move an inch, it was on the desk, so..I guess thats removes hardware badly connected off the table.

[Q] Settings Auto Reset

I am wondering if anyone else is having an issue where after making setting adjustments (such as ring tone, or screen brightness), once being plugged in for charging, there settings are reverted back or simply enough...changed.
Ive been having this issue and clawing at every possible solution. any suggestions anyone?
Have not had this issue. Are you stock?
no im not stock. im rooted. however ive never had a similar issue with this before. and it did this before root.
For me it's the System Volume
Yes! I have noticed this too. I keep setting my System Volume to about 50%, and it just randomly gets reset back to 100%. I can't figure out of it is an app that is changing it or if turning the phone off and back on does it, or what. It's very annoying.
Hopefully we can determine what's causing it, or if it's a bug and we need Samsung/T-Mobile to fix it.
Your volume is problably from Maps. Everytime I used Google Maps my volume went from whatever I had it set to to 100%
I was having problems with everytime I turned my phone on my animations went from none to full. Drove me crazy. I ended up switching my rom from Stock to Vibrant6 and the issue went away. I haven't tried going back to the first Nandroid Backup I made to see if it was a stock problem or if it was something I installed.
I do recall that after I played with my Font it started happening. Of course I'm not sure if that caused it or not.
I have had this problem ever since Clockwork recovery. if I reboot to do a nandroid my fonts go back to default however whatever i have chosen (ie choco) is still highlighted. the system volume changes at the same time too.
i asked over at cyanogenmod and i seemed to be the only one.
i was about to post a thread about this too lol. mine isn't rooted. i had my ringtone on the silent one, but all of a sudden i hear the tmobile jingle. i was confused cause i had it on the silent ring tone. also have this issue: once i get a text my lockscreen stays on, it doesn't turn off or anything.
I have the issue with ring and notification tones getting changed back to default.
It doesn't seem to matter where I store them.
my phone is rooted, but no other mods

[Q] Lite'ning No Screen Time-Out?

I've just flashed the Lite'ning Rom v1.5 and all is fine apart from the screen time-out...
The screen doesn't automatically go into time-out/suspend/lock unless I press the power button . I've checked the setting and tried setting it to 15sec, 30sec etc, but it doesnt seem to be working?
Had anyone else come across this? Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Do you have Titanium Backup installed? I had this when Titanium had been running.
Reboot of the phone sorts it out, but it would happen again after the next scheduled Titanium Backup.
I am using often titanium and never had this issue.
Another possibility, have you plug headphones? Try remove them.
Same issue, no clue whats causing it. It doesnt happen all the time either, it is intermittent.
Me too... usually - it happens not really often - this is when I am arriving at my office after listening andro radio, I cut data connection and I am listening mp3 instead because data is not reachable inside the building. In that situation, I need to unplug my headphones and things go alright for the rest of day
Litening ROM is launching music play when headphones are plugged.
Mmmm...well for the past couple of days the screen time-out seems to be working?! I've not changed a thing!....don't think its anyting to do with headphones as I've not been listening to music or radio.
Did find another glitch the other evening when I woke to find my phone (which had been left on charge) very warm and not charging?? Quick reboot sorted it but another gremlin none the less!

Ringer volume auto-adjusts?

For months, I've been having a problem with the ringer auto-adjusting itself.
At work, I turn the volume down to level 3, and when I leave, I turn it back up to 6. About halfway through the day, I'll get a text, or a call, and my ringer is back up at level 6 all by itself. I find I have to re-adjust the volume a couple of times a day to keep it low.
Then when I leave work, within a few minutes of turning the volume back up, it returns to 3. It will do this a couple of times a night, and even on the weekends. It doesn't seem to have a regular time where it does it, but it happens almost every day. I can't tell you how many calls I've missed because of this.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix for it, or is it being caused by an app, or what? Doesn't matter what rom I'm running, it just keeps happening.
I've experienced this too on Infected 1.4.2 and 1.5 (sense 3.0) and Synergy Roms. Can't remember if i've seen this in stock and I haven't tried any other roms... It just hasn't affected me to the point where I cared...
I don't remember if it happened stock or not, but it has happened on Synergy, Infected, and now Warm. I just can't figure it out.
mine does the same thing bro.. im not rooted.. stock..
Maybe it's an app causing it?
still cant figure it out?? its drivin me crazy!! ill have the volume down all the way some one will call and its full blast.. ****s gona blow my speaker!
Do you have a list of your apps? Maybe everyone having this issue have a common app installed.
Pocket mode on?

I noticed some ringtones play on media volume while others play on phone volume. Just thinking, but I do remember having a control issue where my media volume kept reseting to a default level randomly.

Pocket mode was turned on, but I don't believe that had anything to do with it.
I may have figured it out when it does it though. Every time I make or receive a call, the volume goes back up. I just tested it by making 3 calls in a row, and every time I hung up, the ringer volume was back up. I would turn it down, make a call, and it's back up again. I just wish I could figure out why it's doing that.

Serious Lag Problem

Hello XDA,
Third day with my GS3, and I've already noticed and had to face on what could be a hardware issue if no one else on here has experienced it.
So I went to bed at 2PM this afternoon, phone is running absolutely fine its at 62% battery. I woke up at 5:30PM and the battery was 59%. So I started browsing my phone, I already had some messages so I replied to them, then I went on Emgadget. I revieved a text and the phone froize up, it just does this really really long vibrate for about 6 seconds, no notification sound and then boom.. it all comes back, the notification appears in the bar but the phone still does not make a sound. Its not just messaging that causes this blip, if the phone is in this state receiving any notification including a call will freeze the phone up.
I've noticed that during the time the phone is doing this, it won't make sounds while you type on the keyboard. Everything, like system sounds, will just stand completely silent even after the phone has resumed functionality.
After around 5-10 minutes the phone will just seemingly return to normal behaviour, I could be in mid-text and suddenly the keyboard start making noise again. Please somebody really help me with this, I do hope its software.
Just to note, this is not the first time I've had this issue today. I've experienced it multiple times in the past three.

I had a firmware update the other day, nothing worked. Thinking of downloading the software from SamMobile and reflashing.

[Q] First Post RessurectionRemix No Audio Problem

Hi Guys,
Always loved loading custom roms on my androids. Never had a problem I had to ask for help with until now. Please bear with me; I'm trying not to be noob-ish.
I'm running Resurrection Remix 4.4.2 on my Galaxy S2 GT-9100. I installed it last night. Had a big problem (after rebooting into recovery and then wipingdata/factory reset) - I couldn't mount my sdcard1 (externalSD) in CWMrecovery > hence I couldn't install the rom.zip from my SD card. I ended up using adb sideload to push the rom and GAPPS onto phone.
ROM working great so far, loving it! Suddenly; I can't adjust the audio slider for my main audio. The ring-volume and alarm volume can both be adjusted - and the speaker works when either of these two are used. My music/audio volume however won't lift up off zero. The speaker has the line through it to say it's muted completely.
I've tried using my hardware buttons, and the touchscreen to adjust it. I've searched Google & XDA. I've looking through all the settings on my phone. No luck. I've tried restarting phone. Can't think of any settings I've adjusted that could cause this. I was playing with contacts all afternoon, syncing FB images & organising Google contacts.
Please can somebody give me a hand - I've got my wedding coming up in 3 weeks and I don't have millions of hours to troubleshoot this alone.
Thanks in advance, let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
****This is strange. Just restarted my phone and it works again. Not sure then what is triggering the issue. Could be something to do with Open Mic for Google Now (it listens actively for "Ok Google"). Could be something to do with USB cable being plugged in and it thinks it is docked? Not sure any more. Working for now.****
****Now lost audio again! Was simply using my phone, using Google now to test the commands etc. Audio level dropped to zero, and I can't lift it up. Why! Perhaps it happened after phone went into standby?**** I've just checked and my WiFi doesn't go to sleep when phone is standby - it's already set to stay on.
