Sound Up and Down - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

No matter which ROM I try with a clean install playing any audio whether it be from YouTube or Music the volume goes down then back up. What is causing this? This stays after reboots. Also the only way to get the volume back to normal is to close the app and start over. Then it only take about 10secs for it to go back down and fluctuate.

This also happens to me from time to time.
Also, while playing music through Poweramp and listening with BT, if you change the volume using the rockets on the phone (long press), the volume fades in and out.

One post..... There is no way we are the only ones experiencing this.

I am having also same issue and I try to find solution, but there is no fix yet.

RMA didn't work for me. I have a feeling all devices display this behaviour, though the louder the volume and the lower the battery, the more it will present.

I assume that you are RMAed your Nexus 6 and they gave you another one, and that one has the same problem? My last phone was really bad with the fluctuation and the volume going up and down. When I got this phone I haven't noticed it one bit but I only play music with it or listen to YouTube etc . So I downloaded the GT racing 2 and waited till I had about 26% battery. And then started the game turned it up full blast and it stayed there. So then I plugged it in to see if there was a difference and there wasn't. I left it plugged in for a while then I unplugged it to see if the volume would drop and it didn't. So I would suggest if you did get a new phone send RMA and that you try it again. My new phone came running stock LVY47H . I don't know if that makes a difference.
My old phone was rooted and I ran many different roms kernels and Viper 4 exc trying to get rid of the problem. This one in stock because I'm waiting for project Fi.

System volume randomly turning all the way back up?

I have the system volume turned all the way off.. I find the startup sound and the key clicks irritating. But every once in a while it starts back up. I don't see any threads about it, and a google search yields nothing. I've had this happen on 2 Captivates now, anyone else have this problem?

Yep have the problem as well. Im pretty sure others have the issue as well as I recall seeing this before... I want to say it has something to do with a conflicting menu command or something of the sort

Wonder if Samsung is going to address this issue at all.. it's pretty minor. But it sure does suck when the phone randomly decides to make loud clicking noises.

I have this problem as well. I have not been able to figure out the sequence of events that causes it.
I have this problem as well, it always seems to happen after I mess with stuff in the system preferences, but like the previous poster, I haven't noticed any patterns.

I think I figured it out, I have navigation volume turned all the way up and when I leave navigation, the system volume is cranked all the way up too. They must be linked some how.

Yes, seems that everyone has this problem...even on custom ROMs.
What I've tried is to use Tasker to turn the system volume down to where you like it after the Navigation exits.
Works great.

o2 v1.27 firmware
I had a weird issue in the car the other day
I was using the USB plugged into a Fiat 500 which has the Blue & Me system. I wasn't particularly bothered about having sound through the speakers, I just wanted to charge.
The stereo turned on anyway, and I was having random directions given through the stereo, with the Highlight Video music in between!! And then the ACTUAL directions coming through the phone speakers. I just turned the stereo off but it was really weird

I've had problems with random restarts and WiFi not connecting/WiFI settings freezing. Not allowing WiFi to be switched off during sleep seems to have cured it.
HTC One M7 speaker
I got my new HTC one the othe day from Harvey Norman and I have noticed that the bottom one of the two speakers cuts in and out and if you press on it then it works, but this is for all audio has anyone had this issue or know why it is happening?
Thanks
I got my HTC One last week and the wifi signal is really weak. When I am at 5mt from the hub (virgin media) I bearly have a signal.

Phone in pocket after call
I am surprised no one has reported this annoying bug:
1) Have the phone in the pocket
2) Listen to music via the provided headphones (same if you use bluetooth)
3) Someone calls you and you answer via headphones button
4) After you or the other party hangs the phone, the phone turns on in the pocket.
VERY annoying!!! Please report this bug to HTC (I already did)
Otherwise I just LOVE this phone!!!
Problems charging phone and file transfers.
Ive had my HTC One for just over 2 months now. Havent had any issues besides the back button not responding. But just the last few days out of the blue, i am unable to charge my phone using the provided htc micro usb cbale that came with the phone to charge my phone. Keeps saying to use supported cable or doesnt detect my phone at all. It wont even charge through the wall power point using the adapter and cable provided. Ive attempted using other micro usb cables from previous devices and still no luck. Only way to charge my phone is using the extend battery pack.But have to restart my phone before charge otherwise it wont detect usb connection.
I also unable to copy and transfer files from my phone to pc also due to the usb cable and detection issue.
Has anyone else here experienced the same issue?
If so,how did you resolve the issue?
ive contacted HTC Support and still waiting on a response.

Sounds like you have accidentally bent some pins in the connection, potentially hardware not software related. I'd return for exchange.
2G connection issues
I have no idea whether its my ONE's problem or of the connection provider........ I cant use my 2G connection, it connects and disconnects at its will........Is there any way to test whether my ONE has any problem?
Strangeness with touch screen sounds
I may be the the only one.... but I like a click sound when the touch screen is presssed for a command. This works alright on my Sensation (pyramid) but not on my new HTC (M7).
There is sometimes a very very faint noise about a second or more after touching the screen for a command, kind of a delayed reaction? Anyway no amount of tweaking volume controls or using any sound mod produces a decent loud click sound. I revert any tweaks after experimenting with them.

Push Bug (Whats app, sms), htc stay in standby
Hey,
I'm new here and i hope, this is the right forum for my problem
I bought me a htc one a few days ago, and i've already root it, unlocked the bootloader, set it s-off. my recovery tool is twrp-2.6.3.3, and i have the ViperOne 4.3.0 with ElementalX-m7-10.10.1. for the rights management i use LBE_Security, exactly this Version: LBE_Security_RC_5.1.5446_A1_EN_VI_1st_12.20.2013.
Sometimes, 2-4 times/day, if i write with somebay via sms or whats app, and my handy is in standby and i get the message, my handy vibrates and the LED blinks green, and when i try to unlock it, with double2wake or logo2wake, my handy vibrates, but my display still is black, like it is still in standy. Music works, i can turn the volume higher or lower, and i can keep klicking the power button or double2wake or logo2wake, but my display didn't react. It only vibrates, wenn i click use double2wake or logo2wake. i have to click the power button and the lower-sound button to reboot my handy.
First i thought, maybe it is the kernel, because i used undervolt 800 and max cpu 1890mhz, so i install viper new and the kernel new, but without undervolt etc., everything stock. But the bug is still there. i have the same bug, if i start the camera app and close my htc via the power button, but without closing the camera app, the bug is there, too. this is something i can live with, but not the problem with push messages.
And i don't know how to contrain the apperance of the bug. yesterday i installed everything new, and i install lbe security master, too, but i think, i forgot to give him superuser right, because today apps pushed me things, but they weren't allowed to do this. maybe it has something to do with the bug, but today i realised it and set lbe as a superuser and then the bug appeared again. before that the bug didn't appeared. maybe it was coincidence, i don't know.
all i know, is that the bug has something to do with sms and whats push, and i'm not 100% sure, but i think it's not the fault of the kernel elementalX. Maybe it's LBE or Viper Rom's fault, or may something else.
Do somebody please help me? This bug is very annoying me and i don't know android very well, it's my first android phone.
And excuse me for my bad englisch, i am from Germany and i wasn't good in englisch in school

Sounds like you've set your minimum frequency/screen off to too low, increase it to around 800Mhz and see whether you face the same problems again.

There's a fix for the camera bug in Venom Hub/Addons/Other
Thank you for your answers
@spiralOut
Thank you, this add-on fixed the camera bug, I hope, it fix the other too
@n1234d
Do you mean the undervolt option during the elemtalx kernel installation? Because first I choose 800kHz, now I choose stock, I think the stock is higher than 800, right? And the bug still appeared.
And what I forget to say: I used the swift option from HTC, that i can write with swiping on my keyboard, maybe this has something to do with the bug, now today I deactivated it.

Google Music stops playing on M DP3?

Anyone else have this issue? Google Music will randomly stop playing. it could be 1 song into my playlist, or it could be on its 3rd pass through it. The only way to get it going again is to start the song over or move to another one. The app doesn't crash, it just seems to stop the song, and ill not respond to the Play button on it until I press the Last, Next or select another track.
it never ever stops here. im on m preview 3.

I'm on preview 3 and it happened to me yesterday.
So is the song progress bar still moving or is it done? I have only seen an issue where the progress is still moving but, no audio is heard on certain albums which was an issue before N. Nothing where it randomly stops though.

At first I thought it was N too until I looked at the dates and the title lol I've had this issue on ALL three previews, I end up going back to M since I travel a lot for work and it's annoying. All my music is on Google play music.
Mine would stop as soon as the next track would play on dp1,dp2 but on dp3 all is well

Happens randomly to me on preview 3 as well. Starts playing again when I hit the volume up key or pause the song and press play. Of course it pauses again a few seconds later...
Only happens when I'm using the auxiliary cord in my car. When I use regular earbuds it plays fine.

When sounds play to loud nook HD turns off

Since installing CM 10.2, my nook HD just shuts off when a sound plays too loud. I always keep my volume down so it hasn't been a problem until now, because I turned my notification sound up and now when I turn the nook on a notification sound plays because I have a new email, shutting down the tablet immediately. Can this be fixed?

Looks like it may be a setting in the build then if it isn't the batteries. I have a volume.apk from years ago that I downloaded but I have no idea what it does so that is why I use the volume limiter now.
May need to open the case to reset connection

I got exactly the same issue. I followed the guideline from somebody else, disconnect and reconnected a flying wire across the battery. Now I do not have the shutdown issue anymore. However, it develops a new issue that I could not completely shut it down (always restarts itself). Since the tablet is supposedly on 24/7, I am not going to worry about it.
Hi, where is this guideline please?
Does anyone have an answer to this please?

Volume drops randomly using Google Music (Bluetooth / Headset)

Hello there, I have a frustration with my Nexus 6 running 6.0.1
While there is similar probs around, none seem to explain mine.
When using Google Music on Bluetooth/Headset I get normal operation and then randomly (sometimes immediately, sometimes up to about 5 minutes) the volume drops down. The Volume slider still shows 100% volume.
I thought at first it was the ear-saftey thing we used to have where it does this, but then allows you to change it back to full volume. But I didn't get any message around that or cannot find a way to override it.
Then I thought it was another system process stealing focus and the phone getting confused, eg dropping volume for a notification and then just not returning it.
Tried rotating phone to see if it was a portrait/landscape bug
Everytime. I restart the phone, it's fine again before the random volume drop occurs 1 sec-5 mins after playing a song. Once it does it, it gets stuck that way.
I've lived with it for a long time but it's doing my head in now so hopefully someone can help it advise?
Not even sure if a factory reset will fix.
Cheers

I've had the same problem, running N developer preview 1 listening with wired headphones. I've learned that I just kind of have to wait for it to pass, try force stopping play music, or restart the phone.
Are you streaming your music, or is it downloaded onto your device? I manually copy music onto my phone from my computer, and this is when I've got the issue, as I stream with Spotify fairly often and never have the problem. I've always thought it was just some bug reading all of these crazy 3rd party audio files in the storage.
Hasn't been much of a problem for me... Just jumped at the opportunity to share when I saw this thread. If it bothers you that much, try a full wipe of internal storage and reinstall everything. Cheers! Hope I helped.
