hi, ive got a weird quirk im not sure what triggers this but it happens randomly it seems, just wondering if anyones gotten anything similar happening and if anyones found a fix besides rebooting.
So, ive got an amaze (of course) on wind mobile, stock non rooted/etc yet.
the issue is ill go to work listening to mp3's, get to work unplug headphones and audio stops playing as normal when that happens, ill sit down to work and get a txt or a call on the phone and it rings as normal, so thinking ill be nice to co workers i go to turn down the volume of the ringer, but instead of it turning down the ringer volume as normal when no mp3's are playing, it turns down the media volume, and i cant see how to get it back to default mode where it wants to allow me to change the ringer volume with the rocker volume button on the phone with out rebooting or going into the audio settings and changing it there.
its a pretty minor thing i know but its just enough to be annoying.
what happens when you go to the phone/dialpad? just copied what you did and mine switches as normal.
your phone should be switching to the correct volume slider depending on what you have open/running. I've never run across a switch that disables that...
If all else fails put a shortcut to audio settings on your home screen
Ive rebooted now so its fixed, ill try that after my walk home, started thinking maybe winamp isnt shutting down cleanly or something.
the odd thing is it doesn't happen all the time outa the 10 times a week i use headphones and change volume after it it only happens maybe 3-4 times a week..
hrm short cuts an idea if it keeps happening, tho im probably gonna unlock and flash this soon so maybe that wont happen anymore.

I'm not sure if it's at all related, but I have a different volume quirk. Occasionally, when I plug my phone in to charge it, the ringer volume drops down to minimum. Not to silent or vibrate, just to the lowest setting where it actually still rings. It's probably unrelated, but it could be some glitch in the volume control somewhere.

I have a rooted, Liberted HTC Aria. I can set the volume all the way down to vibrate via the rocker, place it on the table, call it from another phone, and the phone will ring.
When I re-check the volume level it is set to the quietest ring, not vibrate.
I have repeated this over and over as I though I was just accidentally hitting the rocker while it was holstered, but that's not the case.
I've tried downloading volume lock. I set the phone to vibrate and test volume lock to see if it works.
It does, I get a message to confirm new volume level, if i don't it stays on vibrate, as indicated by the vibrate icon.
Then you call the phone... The phone rings and the volume is now set to the quietest ring, not vibrate.
Any ideas, this is a huge inconvenience at work?
Thanks.
Don't know how old this thread is, but I will tell you, you are not going crazy.
I have a vibrant that is rooted and custom rom loaded.
I've had the custom rom for 3-4 months now.
I reloaded some crappy rom, and after I did that, no matter what rom i put on it, I get this ringer problem.
So, no, it's really a problem, you're not imaging it.
So far I can only think that the default build.prop has been funked with.
Or, one of the programs that you installed is messing with it.
I think that it more likely is #1 because on fresh install the phone is fine. But upon reloading all my apps (apps only, no data/ system data), the damn phone will funk up and do the ring crap again.
So, try Odin - to stock and from there, flash a brand new rom and restore one by one.
Sorry mate, that's what I've found, it sucks. I hope you found a solution for this. Like I said, I have a Vibrant, so I don't browse the "Aria" forum at all. I found this thread on GOOGLE.
If you find out anything, PLZ PLZ PLZ, - contact me.

OK I have been having issues with my ringer and notification volume.
I can have it set to full volume and I miss calls or messages because the volume changes to the lowest setting or silent.
Any ideas on why this would happen?
A lot of people are having this issue, and, it is listed in the issue thread. The only 2 things we have come up with is that it is a software problem, or people are accidently pushing the rockers, and the phone is acting as if it is awake registering the action.

Hard to push buttons when it is sitting on the table...
I am going with software. I am also trying turning off the special features like pocket mode and quiet on pickup to see if that helps.
i haven't had this problem yet, but i DO have the problem of system volume continuously making itself 100% lol..thankfully though i don't use anything that uses system volume, so nothing is blaring loud and scaring the crap outta me.

Well, you didn't specify it wasn't in your pocket or what not.
Turning off those features might help. Isn't there a setting that sets the volumes to be what they were on previous use? For example if you pick up the phone and the volume goes down, maybe it sticks like that? Doesn't explain it going to 100% though.
Ok here is my biggest issue that I have found. I use alarmdroid to wake me up and for other routine alarms. I have it connected to beautiful Widgets so when I press the time it opens alarmdroid. When I go in to the app, then exit, it changes my alarm volume to zero. I also use the app volume locker so I know when it is changing settings on me. I have successfully recreated this problem numerous times. Anyone else with this combination of apps experience this? How about with just alarmdroid?

I use plain old Sense clock and alarm.
Sense alarm rocks. It's easy, and wakes me up every time with its annoying ass beeping. I hate alarm clocks. I hate waking up, period.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
I 100% believe that I accidentally hit the volume rocker and so I downloaded volume locker and I have not had any volume issues since!!
I would use sense alarm, but I usually run sensless ROMs. So I like to keep things similar. Anyone else use alarmdroid? Anyone care to try it and see if they can duplicate the problem?

It happened to me a couple times and then one time I noticed that the way I was holding the phone when I woke it up or turned it "off" was applying pressure to the volume rocker and changing the volume. It happened so quick I barely noticed it, just saw a blip at the top of the screen once and figured out what it was.
I think changing those settings helped. I will keep checking on it though.
Hi guys,
anyone else having problems with adjusting the call volume (while in a call) ?
The screen obviously turns black while in a call, and then, the volume buttons don't work for me...
I have to move the phone from my ear, screen turns on, adjust volume.
This drives me nuts !
Any help is much appreciated.
Yep just noticed this today when I was on a call. Seems strange that you can't do that but you can change the volume of music when the screen is locked?
same thing here. hope they fix it

Correct, it does work for music, I have noticed that as well...
What's up with that ?! Isn't it like the very first thing you should check before releasing a phone to the market ?? Even if it's software related (and it is, in this case) at least the Vendors should test this.
And, I know what I am talking about
I guess that with all the technology, it is forgotten, that above all, well... this is a PHONE.
Hope the fix it.
Ive also noticed that you cant adjust the volume when the screen is locked.
AND every call i make/receive the volume is always at the max and extremely loud. So i have to right away turn it down. That happen for anyone else?
I have 2.2 stock OS, been working fine for long time, but last weekend I dropped the phone. Since then (I have powered off/on and taken battery out a couple times but no difference), the phone no longer recieves phone calls -- no ring or missed call notification; callers get sent to voicemail after 1-2 rings, and the voicemail notification does show up immediately.
2 other symptoms are that the lock screen no longer displays (phone goes straight to home screen when I press the power button), and pressing the power button for a second only shows me the Power Off option (previously it had options for Airplane mode and Data Off as well).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Shaun
That's weird. I'd flash a different ROM and see if it works then. I have no idea why it would power up and skip the lock screen.
For the phones calls I'd think may e it messed up the SIM reader. Maybe its fitting in there funny now, or maybe its broken altogether. Maybe a fresh install of something would alleviate some symptoms and give us a clue as to what really is going on.

Hello buddies,
I dragged this issue with me since my S7 Edge I had before my new brand S9+. On the S7 Edge the issue would happen 2 or 3 times in a week. But now with my S9+ it's every single day.
Issue: During my workday, I use the silent mode to avoid any noise at work. When I'm back to home, I put back the "normal" sound mode, but here is the issue, the notification volume doesn't go back as it was sin the morning (generally 100%), it stays at 0%. So everytime I quit vibrator or silence mode I have to manually raise the notification volume or I won't get any sound for these.
It's quite annoying and I don't see any subject about that, I checked all settings in my phone but I see nothign related to this.
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks!
Do you get quiet notification sounds? As all my sounds are quiet. If I play a notification sound on zedge ect... it's loud but as soon as I choose it as my notification the volume is very low. I've reset the phone but it's still the same.
Could it be an app you are using?
Well, it could be "quiet" notification since the volume is at 0%, it's not like the sound picture of notification got a line across. Anyway, quiet or muted, I don't hear them and that's the problem.
For the application idea, I really don't know what sort of application could do that? I would like to keep the wipe data/factory reset as a last resort.
Something seems to be resetting my volumes to different levels. I changed System to 0 and set Ringtone and Notification to match, however when I went into volume again this morning, System was at half and it seems like Notification reset itself. Is there some built in Tasker like function on this phone that might be changing things based on some outside variable? If not, this is a really annoying bug.
