Hey folks.
Has anyone experienced problems with the sound level getting stuck?
Basically i was listening to music over bluetooth and just turn the volume up then suddenly the level dropped.
When I tried to turn it back up the volume refuses to go past about 2/3 level. I can slide the bar up and it moves but the sound stays the same.
I have tried with just the speaker and it goes full but just refuses to go any higher with my bluetooth headphones!

Managed to fix it.
Put the soundlevelalert.apk back into system/app then rebooted.
Then when I turned the volume up it popped up the warning but then let me set it higher.

Ive noticed since I got my X on Monday that randomly my notification/ringer won't make any sounds. Even if I have it set to the loudest possible setting. When I choose the volume thru the volume buttons the sound when raising or lowering doesnt always work either. I have all the settings correct to make sounds. Could this be a Lollipop thing, or is it my X? Has anyone else had this happen?
Yeah, it's been happening with my device aswell.. no idea what could be the reason, either the Lollipop update or some conflicts with moto apps perhaps? Wish I could fix it.
Bumping this in case someone finds a solution!
I found that if I use the volume buttons to change volumes it goes silent. So I just adjust the volume in the settings/sound to change volume.
I've noticed that the volume takes a step down in certain apps and situations, for instance: whenever I get a notification from whatsapp with the screen both on/off, the volume is rock solid.. but whenever a notification comes through facebook messenger with screen off, the volume is ABSOLUTELY low; meanwhile, with the screen on the volume is fine with both of them. SMS, Youtube and Email notifications are fine aswell (for now).
EDIT: well, it happens randomly even when ringing from a phone call even after adjusting from the settings and not the volume rockers. Gosh, Moto should fix this one asap.
If we had a LED I wouldn't care. I have to keep turning my screen on to see if I have a text msg
I've noticed lately that when I get phone calls or texts the volume starts out really low then gets higher and I can't stand it. I don't recall it doing it before. Is there anyway to stop this and is it suppose to do this? Sort of like a gradual increase in volume. The same thing seems to happen when I talk on the phone, the volume is low to where I can almost not hear the person then 1 or 2 seconds later it's fine. I'm on my 2nd replacement device because my other one was randomly rebooting and hate to have to send another one back.
I see there are some other volume threads, mods you can delete if you like.
Does anyone else have the issue where the speaker volume fades out and then becomes mute. Let me explain more:
Since about yesterday, whenever I'd use an app that requires sound (Spotify, Soundcloud, Youtube, Facebook videos, etc), I'd initially hear some sound (depending on my volume setting. After about 3 to 8 seconds, the volume fades out for no apparent reason. I'd check to see if the volume level is changed, but it remains at my set level but there is no sound. I max the volume and still no sound. This doesn't seem to be a hardware issue but rather a software issue.
Yes! I have to restart my device. Then it will work for a while. This is the first form I've seen talking about this issue. Must not be a huge issue. I have an S8 plus.
Hi there,
Not sure if my phone is a dud - has anyone experienced the V40's boombox speaker suddenly not working or else very quiet? I've tried to adjust the volume controls, but it either seems normal, or else it even seems like it's in a call (it says "call volume" when adjusting the volume rocker switches sometimes, even though I'm not in a call). The volume sliders are all full. The only cure is a reboot. But you can still hear screen taps and things too. It's sort of like a media playback issue, and it happens in other apps as well - like Youtube, WhatsApp, etc. It's not going to Bluetooth either...
I have done a factory reset and the problem crept back right away.
Thanks for any help.
Thx

I am facing a similar issue with "call volume" showing up when headset is connected (even though am not on a call); This specifically happens if my V40 has been previously connected to a Bluetooth device which has a mic, and then has been disconnected from it. I have to restart my V40 everytime this happens as otherwise the audio is really inconsistent (it sounds cracked at lower volume, and tinny at higher volume).
When you say "the problem crept back right away", is it after some particular action (for instance connecting to some BT speaker or something?);
Also, did you try running it in safe mode (hold power button, press the "power off" icon in the screen, it should show an option to re-boot to safe mode), for me, it works on safe mode but the problem comes back even after a factory reset when i am in the normal screen.

Hi there, yeah, I can't exactly pinpoint when the problem crept back after the reset. I had been using Google Maps but I can't imagine how that would affect audio. The next time I used Google Maps, I couldn't here the navigation cues, and then I checked Youtube and "behold!"...the sound had got cut out again. Had to reboot. Would the phone be routing audio to some bluetooth channel or something, like my Samsung Gear S3? Why it would, I don't know. I do remember seeing the "in call" display once when this was happening which clearly is a different bug and not bluetooth related. I did try to connect to a bluetooth device, and then disconnect, and the problem has not resurfaced yet but I feel that I don't have much confidence in it at the moment.
I'll look into Safe mode; thx for the tip.

I know this has happened to me as well but I know what is causing it on my phone. Whenever taking a video call in Facebook messenger then my phone stays locked in the call volume also. Only way I have found is to restart the phone also. I am not using Bluetooth at all for the call either just the phone speaker so it's not a Bluetooth issue on my end. Having to restart the phone definitely sucks.

Well i found one more case - when doing a FTP through WiFi from PC (to transfer files); once FTP connection is closed (after transferring), and then if the earphones are plugged-in, phone says "call volume". Had to again restart. I was trying to find any app that can just refresh the UI/settings/system without doing a restart every time but haven't been successful. LG definitely need to fix it.
Thx for the replies, I have no clue as to why this problem is happening, but I've traded my phone for a new one in the 10-day purchase period and so far it is working correctly. Fingers crossed.
