Volume change tone gone in Marshmallow? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Previously, whenever you adjusted the volume, the phone would make a tone to tell you how loud that volume level was, i.e. increasingly louder tones if you were increasing the volume.
I've just noticed that when I change the volume bar, the phone is completely silent (and no, I'm not in Silent or Vibrate mode). Is this a new "feature" of 6.0 or something is wrong with my phone?

well, its not new, as it was in all 3 m releases. and now marshmallow is like that as well.

Thanks! I've never used any of the M Previews so it's good to know this is an expected behavior and not a bug with my device.

"speaker problem?" how can i increase the volume?

Hi all ,
there is any chance to increase the volume of the speaker ?
he is very weak.. (and his volume is on maximum)
tweak or smting will help.
thanks !
No tweaks really available for this. There are like one or two tricks (one of which requires hacking your phone up) that apparently work.
Look around, there are tons of threads in regards to this topic.
Yes the speaker is crap on the diamond. Sooner or later you will get used to it and live with it
do not forget that you have three volume settings.
first system volume, second ringtone volume and third incall volume.
the last you can only set during a call. when in a call, turn on your screen and then press the volume up button. now you can change the volume during a call.
for me this fixed al the volume problems.
offcourse if you want to use your speaker for handsfree or as an mp3 player: don't. the speaker is not intended for this use and you will just irritate people around you. use a headphone instead.

I also thought that the volume during a call is way too low despite having the volume at maximum. Since I installed Phone Weaver which lets you control the incall volume via profiles it blows my ears away. Last time the speaker was too loud during the call but I couldn't turn it down with the volume keys?! It only changed the master (system?) volume but not the incall. What did I wrong?
I have found that the loud-speaker volume is very low during movie playback, what setting deals with this?
Use Advanced Config and enable all Audio Booster options. This maybe helps...
Also Diamond Tweak, maybe disable 100 db Sound Limitation...
However, these are I think for headset, I haven't tried if they affect the external speaker.
One thing that works for sure is setting equalizers to max in In Core player, but I don't know if the core player works on Diamond...
Don't you love it how I actually haven't helped you at all?
I am gonna test all these and edit this post ))))))

Increase the volume of the movie player if its not already 100%?
Personally my speaker is very loud. During calls, at around 50% volume its still so loud I have to keep it a little from my ear.

i think you have to be in the phone menu. when i press the volume during a call, it changes the call volume. maybe phone weaver assigns a different function to you volume button.

Coreplayer shows volume at 100% already, but the volume is so low I can barely hear a thing...
Anyone? It's weird because when I put calls on loudspeaker it's fine, but when playing a movie it's inaudible...

[Q] Low Text Notifications!

Has anyone noticed text tones are VERY low? I tried the system standard ones, and also dowloaded a few from Zedge and also used tone picker...NO MATTER WHAT at full volume I can barley hear when I get a text unless I am right next to the device (it is extremley low). I have the system volume on Max also. Anyone else experiencing this? I need to be able to hear my phone when I get a text, what an incredible feature that would be!
Go into settings, then Sound and Dispay, then click on Ringer volume. There are different sliders there for ring volume and notification volume. If your notification volume there isn't at max, just slide it up to where you want it. Otherwise, I dunno why it's so quiet for you.

Yes, I know this is an old thread. But I have a similar problem but with a different setting. I'm running cognition 2.3b8 with Froyo.
My volumes are not as loud as how they were in Stock Eclair-but this isn't the problem. The may issue now is that notification volume tend to reset to low its low level as hard as I tried to increase it to max. This happens once I receive a message from my mobile service provider - like checking my credit balance and so.
Does anyone else have the same issue?

I have the same exact problem that USSD code resets the notification volume back to its low levels.
It seems an issue affecting many other galaxy users, searching for a solution got me no where.
It seems that this USSD sound volume issue is solved with some of the new modded ROMs. Now my phone doesn't produce a sound when I receive ussd feedback.
It is good in a way that a don't need sound notification for that & so system sound volume won't get needed up.
I tried perception, phoenix, serendipity, and now on firefly

Link Ringtone and Notification volumes?

Can we not do this like on every other phone I've ever had?
I use the app volume control. No issues at all.
When I use the volume rocker it seems to affect both ringtones and notifications. I think the volume settings are relative.
Here are volumes before adjustment, after backing out to home and turning up with volume rocker. . No sync.
Right, which is why I was saying perhaps they're relative. All I know for sure is, when I use the volume rocker, it affects both notification volume and ringer volume.

Which I'm saying I do NOT get that behavior. So, in order to change notification volume, I HAVE to go into settings>volumes and adjust it manually. Pretty damn lame.
I'd like to see something like this:

Are you sure the actual volume (i.e. the decibels coming out of your speaker) doesn't change, regardless of what the sliders in the volume app say? I realize the sliders don't necessarily reflect what you might expect, but change the volume, have someone call you, then text, then change the volume again and test again. When I do that, both go up and down as you'd expect.
Just tested. Only the ringer/phone call volume went up. Text stayed very low in volume until I manually went into Settings>Sounds and changed the Notification volume.
I just tested specifically and have to rescind what I said. That's really strange, I could have sworn I'd been changing my text message volume and ringer.
I'd like to bump this up too. Anyone not update to the new Advanced calling firmware yet confirm if this is happening with them too? I am on the new update and just noticed this

I now have the update but can confirm the same behaviour before the update.
Still doing this on 4.4.4.12 - very annoying.
I only took the day one update, call and notification volumes are NOT linked.

[Q] Ringtones all very quite. Any fixes?

I just purchased a Moto G (Global, Dual SIM) model. When I get a call the ringtone (any ringtone, including custom ringtones) ring very soft for one ring, then they ring normal volume for a single ring, the it continues very, very quietly. Its not ascending, its soft for a single ring, normal volume for a single ring, then continues very softly.
And when I mean quite, I very I am alone in my office in the evening with no outside noise and its very quite. It will be unusable during the day.
I have read on XDA people having issues with ringtone sounds. These sounds are intolerable for me. It makes the phone unusable
Is there any fix, or anything I can try?
I have tried equalizer apps, different tones, increasing the loudness on my mp3 ringtone (by 10x), but nothing helps. Vibrate on or off when rining makes not difference.
Many thanks

idk then, the only advice i can think to give you is to uninstall any apps you may have installed near the time this started happening and see if thet solves it.

Although it may not help you (being so long afterward), my solution to this problem was to create a long ringtone. Essentially, I found that, if the ringtone was shorter than the time it took to reach full volume, the second ring started off at minimal volume as well. By editing the file and making it 7 rings long in a single file, the ascending volume reached full volume and stayed there for the rest of the ringtone (6 more rings).
Hopefully this can help you (and any others who might come looking for a solution).

Question My phone goes on silent or ringer goes down.

I have very important problem because I am feeling a lot of embarrassment from people. My phone ringer goes down and the volum gets low and then I didn't able to hear the ringtone and I always missed very important calls. Is there any solution to this problem or is there any way that to ringtone volume never goes down even I turn down the media button. Please help it has causes me a lot of loss and embarrassment.
Is the volume setting for ringtones low? or is it the volume of the ringtone itself?
In the latter case you may choose another ringtone. in the first case: Does the setting change when the ringtone rings or during a call. Can you reproduce the problem? What steps are needed?
on some phones there is a quick setting for the ringtone mode. you may remove it if you happen to change the setting by accident.
