Help Verizon Galaxy Nexus 4.2.2 Volume Issue

[droidfan47]

Hi Everyone,

Not sure if this has been addressed yet, but ever since my Verizon Galaxy Nexus has updated to 4.2.2 I've been having an issue with my volume controls while I'm in an app or game. Basically if I have the volume shut down, lowered, or muted, it will randomly come back on in the middle of a game - or if it's lower, it'll significantly raise on its own.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Also, I just noticed in general that ever since I got 4.2.2 some of my games are experiencing heavy lag. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to potentially fix that as well?

Thanks in advance for your help!!

1. Have you re-booted since the update? try that.
2. I noticed that right after the update I was seeing a lot of lag and my processor was running at 90%+ even if I was doing nothing. I checked "running apps" and found Google+ kept constantly appearing and disappearing every few seconds.....despite me never opening it and having sync and instant upload turned off. I force stopped it, uninstalled the latest update, and disabled the app. That seemed to solve my problem.

I tried rebooting and sometimes the volume will remain off, and suddenly it'll still turn back on again on its own. Not sure if whether or not this has anything to do with 4.2.2. I don't see Google + operating in the background on my phone, so not sure if something else is causing the lag.

I have same problem. Tried getting rid of Amazon Appstore..... No luck. Disabled Google+...... No help. Tried a factory reset...... It won't factory reset.

Hope the replacement phone works.

I will be checking for anything not working properly since the update.

Just bumping this thread and a quick update. The other day I was listening to music at max volume and suddenly the volume lowered to the middle point on the volume bar.

It appears that whether I have the volume muted or raised, it will default back to the middle position. This originally happened only once a day, now it's happening every few minutes.

Does anyone know why this could be happening, or offer any potential troubleshooting solutions?

Thanks again!

I have observed a similar issue when listening to music.

When a notification arrives while playing music my phone lowers the music volume momentarily to play the notification sound (sometimes it doesn't play the sound, but still lowers the volume). But after the notification is done it doesn't always bring the volume back up to the previous level and it stays in that low volume.

It doesn't happen a lot and rather randomly, not sure what causes this.

I've noticed mine will mute completely even after I've turned the ringer volume all the way up. I've missed several calls already because of this.

I've not had any volume issues at all on 4.2.2

I would suggest trying a factory reset. Its a pain but a lot of people have reported that the reset and resulting clean install of 4.2.2 resolved a lot of their issues.

Hi all...a quick follow-up, I'm still having this issue. Does anyone else have any additional feedback or recommendations on how to fix this?

Thanks!
