Volume rocker - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a weird issue sometimes my volume rocker will just randomly stop functioning on the home screen. Works when I open a app but when I go back to the home screen it stops working again. It's solved by a reboot but seems like a regular issue for my at the moment. Suggestions?

Are you rooted? Are you running a custom ROM/kernel?
Do you have any kind of gesture control app or feature installed that could be doing this? Are you using a launcher that may have disabled the rocker?

No I don't. I actually haven't had this phone very long so I'm stock everything with only a few apps and games installed.

Volume being very low....

The volume on my g2x was awesome the first two days I had it. Now its very low even with the volume turned all the way up. I can barely hear it anymore. Any thoughts?

I noticed this as well. Sound on calls is very low, when I listen to Pandora it is very low. I used to have a Mytouch Slide and when I listened to Pandora in my car my car radio was at volume 14 and it was loud. With the G2x playing Pandora in my car my car radio is on like 24 to match the same loudness as my Mytouch Slide on volume 14. This is with the G2x volume on max. Really disappointing. I did see a thread somewhere on here about changing the volume through a hidden menu but the values were hexadecimals or something and I'm not sure what they should be tweaked to. If anyone has any insight please share!
The app listed below works great for sound through the headphone jack.

Does this work for bluetooth headsets as well? I noticed that was quite low as well with headset volume on max and phone on max.
I haven't tried it, but if I had to guess I'd say no.

DTS is only available for when your watching videos or music. Does not effect call volume or anything else.

I see. Thanks
I rebooted my phone and the volume seemed to fix it self. Also I had to pull the battery out after charging while on because it was just a black screen. Any thoughts?

I had the exact same low volume problem. Removing the battery fixed the sound issue too.. I got a new phone anyway which also fixed my slow to connect problem.

Unfortunately, to answer a question earlier in the thread, it does not work with bluetooth; in fact, it mutes the sound completely over bluetooth when it is enabled.

So what do I tell them when I walk in the store? I have not had anymore problems since then. Is this a problem that will occur again? Just trying to see what are my options.

Yes. Tell the almost of the malfunction and say you just want a working phone. And you need the speaker to work. And you paid for a phone with a working speaker as advertised.

What u
I ment is does it vibrate in a pattern? Apps do 3 fast pulses when they are forced to close by the system when something goes wrong.

Dim/Turn off backlight of capacitive buttons

Some ICS ROMs have annoying always-on backlight of the hardware capacitive buttons.
Try one of these to eliminate/dim that :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deskangel.adjbrightness
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.pruss.superdim
According to ShortbusDriver none of these work.
Can someone confirm this works - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26195948&postcount=4
No didn't work either....that would have been an awesome fix though lol
did you try to toggle auto brightness on and off ?
lights should turn off when screen is off.
No capacitive lights do go off with screen....just never go off as long as the screen is on.... for example when watching video a movie let's say....capacitive keys stay on and bright as ever
I see, it exists in CM7 as well.
Probably kernel related.

there's a bug in cm7 github for this issue,
I'm pretty sure Team Acid will take care of it.

Thanks bro, this actually works, but I have to enable it after each button touch.
I put it as the app to launch when double clicking the screen on Apex launcher (currently on Erikmm's MIUI v4).

Timeout please...seemed to be somewhere around 30 secs or so on stock.
edit: now that I reconsider it may have only been like 10 secs top.
I wouldn't mind if the capacitive key lights went off completely but the keys still work....which ever comes first thank you Erik

It's the same on all ICS roms that I have flashed, and I think I have tested them all
Screen filter is a quick fix...and if you enable navigation bar it works fairly well.

Unable to download/update apps while screen is off

I am unable to download/update apps while screen is off. This is happening on both wife and 3g. I have verified wifi advanced settings and wifi is set to always on during sleep.
For ex. Suppose I have 4 apps which got update in play store. If I hit update all button the download will start but the rest of the apps stop updating as soon as the screen turns off. I have to keep my screen set to on to update all the apps. Does any one also has similar problem?
My mobile is on stock ICS and unrooted. Please help me.

I guess this can be attributed to your phone going in deep sleep mode but a little too early

It's a bit extreme but do a factory reset. There's nothing obviously wrong with your setup and you're all stock. I guess some bug has crept in due to some app you're using.
Go into wifi settings and then press the menu key. Go into advanced settings and set wifi on while sleep to always. Problem is wifi is turning off when your screen turns off. This will stop this from happening.

But the OP says he has already checked the advanced settings.
Maybe there is a Smartrule set that is turning off wifi when the screen goes off. Should check active Smartrules also.

Maybe you should take a look at your router. Settings, etc. Difficult to say what's causing the issue.

I don't think it is problem with my router settings..because it is working on other android devices (Nexus S and Galaxy Y) in my home.

I had this issue and as Jboxer mentioned it was indeed the advanced wifi sleep settings however in your case since all options are now tried out and you say the wifi sleep settings are also in place, best bet as Athani suggested would be to do a factory reset.
