Google Now quieter than anything else? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got my phone last night. Played around with "OK Google," and asked about the weather and such, just like I would do with my Nexus 4. The voice reply seems to be extremely quiet in comparison to the ringer and notification sounds (which, while not *that* loud, are much easier to hear than the voice response from Google Now).
Anyone else experiencing it/have any potential fix/know some setting I'm overlooking that would fix this?

Still quiet :\

Did anyone ever find a solution to this? i still have this problem :crying:

Does a reboot fix it?

If you try a volume booster mod like with Franco kernel it may help.

ringtone volume starts out too low

I thought I had seen this discussed but can't find it.
When my phone rings the volume starts out low then increaes, is there a way to disable this and have it start at full volume?
I think it is melody? I believe that is the type of ring it is.
Huh?
It doesn't matter what I set the ringtone to. All the ringtones do the same thing for me

I'd be interested in a fix for this also. I've done a little searching, but haven't been able to find anything other than it being related to a bug on other phones with a "quiet ring on pick-up" (or something like that) setting, which this phone doesn't seem to have...
Basically, the phone rings quietly for about a second at first then quickly jumps to a louder volume.
Yes I have this as well. It does not serve any useful function since you couldn't possibly answer before it gets loud.
I'm new to the android OS , so I'm going slow on tweaks but I had the same problem on a previous WinMo phone , the Samsung Omnia II and it drove me crazy. Eventually someone found out all you had to do was edit the registry and change a key from initial ring volume from 3 to 5 and it worked. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in the captivates db's there's a equivalent setting . Hope this helps and I'll post if I find the setting.
I hate this feature as well and want to disable it.
Anything new on this? It is driving me crazy!!
It seems to be a trend with Samsung phones...
I had an Eternity and it did this, which drove me crazy.
I also had a Sync, which is a flip-phone. It did not do this if the phone was closed but if the phone was in the open position before the call came in then this would happen.
I think it may be a Samsung "feature" in order to protect your hearing or something if you had the phone close to your head and a call came in. That's all that I can think of.. It's very annoying and I don't like it at all. It really makes me think this is probably intentional considering each Samsung I've had did the exact same thing. I haven't gotten a Captivate yet but I plan to, and it's very disappointing to see that it suffers from this as well.
Has there been any fix to this yet? ?

If you have never used the phone, why do you reply?
The volume will always start low no matter what ringtone you use. It is another stupid, unchangeable setting that Captivate has (much like the separate brightness setting for browser).
HTC has the opposite and more reasonable settting: volume starts loud and becomes low when you pick up the phone. You can disable it if you don't like.
I may be the only person who likes this behavior. If I forget to put it on vibrate mode during class, and it starts to go off, I can quickly hit the volume rocker (without taking it out of my pocket) before it disturbs the class.
would be cool to have a fix for this
Well, any fix yet? It pisses me off :[
I too find this super annoying....anyone have any success in changing it so it starts off at full volume?
I see the Perception 10 has:
Modified Phone.apk (no ascending ring)
I haven't tried P10, can anyone confirm there is not ascending ring?
just bumping this up!
I have perception 10 and mine seems to still have ascending ring. Maybe there's a setting I missed but I don't think so.

It is indeed beyond annoying.
I got a LG P500 a few days ago and this ringing thing is pissing me the hell off.. any fix yet?

Few Problems

I have a few problems that occur on every rom I flash.
1. When ever I make a call or call someone, it uses the speaker phone by default.
2. The Car Home app opens randomly and can be annoying.
3. I cant change the media volume when headphones are plugged in.
- The volume is at it's loudest and there is no way for me to change it.
If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I would search and check other threads before opening new ones. There is an ongoing conversation about the speakerphone issue and I believe it has to do with GoSMS. Not going into detail here as like I said there is another thread already developed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242116
If your volume is at max then it is at max. Or do you mean since it is at max, you can't lower it? Might also be an issue related to GoSMS. Never heard anyone mention about this before.

Sorry, I searched in the Q&A forum, but I didn't think to search in the General forum. I never used GoSMS so that can't be the problem.
If I plug in head phones and try to listen to music, the volume is always at it's loudest and I cant lower it (tried using volume bottons and in the settings).
I think all these issues have something to do with the Car Home app. Also thanks for your reply.
Edit: I removed the Car Home app from the zip and re-flashed. The media volume problem is fixed now but even though I removed the application, it still says in the notification bar that it's running. And speaker is the default option when I try calling someone.
I have seen people with issues with the car home app. But I can't recall if it was in the inspire section or the desire HD section. Goodluck.
Ok, thanks for trying at least.

[Q] Sound

Hi, as everyone know, there are 3 different volume in our nexus 5.
First is Music, video,games & other media.
Second: Ringtone & notification.
Third: Alarm.
Usually if I'm in class, I would press the volume down button until I'm at vibration mode. Then sometimes when I got bored in class and start playing with my phone, the volume will be very loud when i forgot to turn off the sound for games when i was looking at some youtube video or playing some games.
This is really annoying. What's the point of changing to silent mode when there is still volume at the games or video? I know iphone have the toggle for silent mode and that is seriously way useful than this.
You can always install expandable volume controls via xposed or custom ROM.
I know it is frustrating and an overlooked feature I think. When I first got my nexus 5 I was like come on guys you didn't fix this?

Yeah I have the same issue with the sound on this like the OP. Been using 3rd part apps like Llama and Silent Scheduler to quickly change/view sound settings from notification drawer. Works well but I wish something like this built in the OS.

Have you ever run into a bug where you set a task to change the media volume to 8 or higher automatically, upon connecting headphones? It seems half the time it gets stuck at 6 or 7, presumably because the volume level warning message never gets its chance to show up.

No actually I haven't had a chance to program tasker that much yet. The only task I have set for it so far is to play the TF2 medic sound byte "I am fully charged!" when my battery level gets 100% when charging
I know this isn't quite the answer your looking for as far as just turning the volume down to disable all sounds but just some suggestions... I use expandable volume control and You could go into settings/profile and set a quiet profile or go to settings/sounds and set quiet hours.

In-call volume reset after every call

Hello buddies, I own a 64gb One bought directly from OnePlus.
But I'm facing a serious issue. When I speak on a call I have the call volume set to max. But many times when receiving calls the call volume has been reset two clicks down. It's like it can't "save" the setting for the in-call volume.
Any thoughts?
I'm on 33R, and already did a hard reset but the problem insist.
When i was in 33r, i faced this too. Switched to cm nightly and Mahdi. once i reinstalled 33r and the issue was gone. So i think a simple reflash could do it, not reset. Or wait for the 38 update. This could overwrite the culprit too...
My volume stayed at max then, so it is not a "feature" i think.
Thanks for the answer kondroid.
My device is completely stock and even though after a hard reset the issue is there.
I don't have the time to install everything from scratch so I'll wait for the 38R OTA update.
But if the problem insist after the update how can I reflash the device to a completely factory stock 38R or 33R?

Does this happen only when you use earphones or all the time?

Hmm, weird. Only time I get this is when using earphones.
There is a setting:
Settings-> Sound -> Volumes.
Uncheck safe headset volume.
But that is for headsets. You already said you dont use it.
Cant think of anything else. Meanwhile, try Volume+ and see if it helps. I've not use it, but just read about it.
I'm experiencing the same issue, have yet to find a solution other then manually cranking the in-call volume up to max every time. Not a biggy for me though.

Yup, I have unchecked it but it's for the headset that I'm not using.
Unfortunately Volume+ doesn't help, it's CM11 issue.

I'm talking numerous times a day on the phone because of my work, and it's pretty annoying 50 times a day to crank up the volume.

Mine is with every 2nd/3rd call or so, not EVERY single call, but i do agree with you, its pretty annoying, but since i haven't found a solution yet, and haven't heard of anyone else complaining about it (except now for you) i figured id just live with it. If its solvable then by all means i would like to have it solved.
Same issue here, still no solution. Posting a Q&A post here, to gain more attention. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/call-volume-automatically-reset-to-low-t3273699
Did anyone find a solution or got this solved?? I have the same problem as bill_viper
I am on CM11 44s, I set the volume to 2 notches and it resets back to full when on another call. The setting is not getting saved or something.
This problem has cropped up a couple of days back, previously it was working fine.
Anyone having any idea?
what is you use the volume rocker and only "priority notifications" are shown and reboot the device.

Question [solved] low Bluetooth volume.

For days I've been annoyed by low volume on my Bluetooth headphones. It seemed like the first couple of degrees of volume made a difference but then the volume stayed the same no matter how high I set it.
Yesterday I changed the AVCRP version to 1.6 in Dev options and it has fixed the issue completely.
Just sharing in case it helps anyone else.

Did you try to toggle media volume sync under Bluetooth settings?

I don't see that setting and searching for it yields 0 results? However, the volume controls on the headphones were changing the set volume on the p7p so my assumption would be that media volume sync is enabled by default.

Apologies I based it on the OnePlus settings. On the pixel it might be called "Absolute volume".
I'll confirm again later when I get my hands on my 7.

Yes, I tried that. Didn't make a difference. It's enabled by default but can be disabled in dev options.
