There's been quite a stir caused in the past few days about a mysterious volume bug which surfaced on the Galaxy Nexus. The bug began drawing attention over at XDA's forums, where several users reported ostensibly random muting, and erratic response from the Nexus' volume rocker.
It was quickly discovered that the issue seemed to have something to do with the use of 2G signal, specifically the use of a 900 MHz frequency used by many European carriers. The bug could also be replicated using other phones situated near the Galaxy Nexus, leading to concerns that perhaps the bug was hardware-related. The issue also gained attention at Google's bug tracker site for Android, perhaps prompting Google's swift response.
After reaching out to Android PR, we got a promising response:
There's no word yet on when the fix will be available, but it's good to know that the issue is nothardware-related, and that Google has already been working on a patch.
With a fix on the way and no need for recall or hardware fixes, there's relatively little for Galaxy Nexus users to worry about, as long as they can bear the frustration of erratic volume controls, or avoid using 900 MHz 2G signal until the update officially rolls out.
