I've noticed my earpiece sound is a bit buzzy/tinny when someone talks, at least compared to my incredible. Anyone else experience this? I checked the demo units at the store, and they seem to also sound this way.

I was on the phone for about 10 mins yesterday from lifelock calling to ask if I had wanted to run credit with verizon, lol good thing though I guess. I didn't notice any issues at all with buzzing or anything. If it did it was minor and didn't bother me.

I havent noticed this on mine. I just made a call to test in case I just wasnt noticing it and didnt have this issue.
The only sound related issue I have noticed is that some sounds, like lock screen and the sound made when selecting an app, will get really low after a minute or two even if I have the volume on high and do not adjust it.

Anyone else experiencing this in Qik? Tried over wifi and 3G, downloaded all updates. The volume is very low. Does this happen to anyone else?
OMG yes! I thought I was the only one? It's too damn hard to hear who I'm talking to. The person even asked me why I would bring the phone up to my ear every time he spoke. I hope an update can fix this.
I experienced the same thing using Tango. Tried doing a test chat with my friend on his iphone. He kept asking me to repeat myself and said the volume was low. I could hear him fine.
So, just to see, I tried it with the headphones and mic... MUCH better, he could hear me fine.
At first I thought it was the case maybe getting in the way, but taking it off didn't help at all.
Not sure what to make of it... hopefully, it is just some software problem and nothing major.
This is my first post BTW... After leaving the iphone a couple of months ago I have tried 3 Samsung Captivates (Galaxy S), 2 G2's, and 2 MT4G's... I think I finally got a keeper. This thing is redonkulous!

same - tried over data and wifi. However... girlfriend used headphones and no headphones, and iphone head phones... could barely hear here. it would cut in and out sometimes too... she couldn't hear me half the time either... helllppppp this is why we bought this stupid phone!
i had the same problem today, i hope it's just a matter of an update, other than that this phone is awesome! i can't believe i got a MyTouch after having a g1, i thought i'd be a loyal vanilla user but this phone was too sweet to pass up
lol @2071. Yea I'm about to get it Tomorrow coming from a g1. I wish this was vanilla, or i can at least root
Double check that your call is going through the speakerphone. Is it possible that the video call audio is defaulting to the earpiece? I wonder because if it sounds normal using headphones then there's probably nothing wrong. Just a guess.
The other side they can hear me perfectly. Its just my ability to hear them. During the call, if I push the volume keys, the volume meter comes up on the phone as "media volume." Also, if I make a regular non-video call and put it on speaker, the speaker is LOUD. So its just confined to video calls..... Also, other media (music) is LOUD.
Ya I have also tried Tango and its the same low volume on The network or my wifi. I haven't tried headphones yet though.

I can confirm low volume as well. Seems to work way better with headphones in for both sides.

Alright, well make sure you all call in to tmo tech support so this becomes a known issue quickly!
im not experiencing low volume... what i am experiencing is when talking to my friend, I had to switch the mic on and off each time I wanted to talk and hear him.. kinda like a 2 way radio
I am having an issue with the sound on my headphones. It is almost as if a majority of the sound is coming through the right ear, even when the volume is cranked all the way up, the left ear hardly has any sound. I Google'd it a bit to see if maybe anyone else was experiencing this with the Nexus 5 and couldn't really find anything about it. Has anyone else had this problem, if so is there a fix to it? My phone is rooted, but I do not have a custom kernal on it.

maybe its your headphones?
I've got this really annoying issue that I keep somehow getting rid of, but it comes back on it's own.
Any sound that plays from the phone e.g. Ringtones, YouTube, Poweramp, etc...
The audio levels get clipped, like something is trying to adjust the gain of the sound, parts that should be loud are not loud, but instead clipped to a really low level.
I've disabled AudioFX, cleared the data for it, and disabled the audio settings within Poweramp.
I've tried to get an example of it with my camera, but of course it's not doing it when I pull out the camera, next time Poweramp does it, I'll record it.
If I receive a call it clips the ringtone sometimes, but I tried calling the phone a second time and it didn't clip.
Really don't know what's going on, just want the audio to work properly.
I'm on 33R, Unlocked Bootloader Rooted.
If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be really happy.
Could anyone also recommend an app that's like Poweramp, but free? I like it, but it's not quite right.
Removed Poweramp and the problem appears to be gone.
Even though I had all the audio settings disabled in Poweramp?
Still having the issue...
I have no idea what to look for now.
I seem to be having the same issue occasionally. It doesn't bother me overly much though. I just don't think the internal speakers of of the highest quality but everything else on this device is superb
I do however believe at least some of the issue is caused by the fact the the speaker grill holes are quite small so when the volume is high a lot of air pressure is created in the speaker cavity which may attribute to the the problem.
It's purely software.
Happens with the volume at 50% as well.
I have this issue too. Thought it was my headphones so tried all my pairs and it happens on all of them. Its an issue the Nexus 5 has as well and it has to do with how the phone handles the signal from the towers from you're carrier. As to my knowledge there is no fix for it yet.

I switched to SlimKat ROM, haven't had the issue since my last post in this thread.

So are the working on a fix or how do we fix it? Because its annoying af.
Just wanted to report in again.
Still haven't had the audio clipping issue since switching to SlimKat.
The audio issue was really the only reason I had to even bother trying a ROM other than CM11S.
My experience with SlimKat on I9300 was a no-brainer to be the first ROM to try on my One.

Running PA 4.6 Beta and its horrible. I can't stream one song on Spotify with out it clipping through. May be downloading SlimKat tonight to give it a go.
I still get the clipping on Slimkat, battery life is great tho.
Which build? I'm on Stable 7.0
When I call someone, the ringing sounds kind of funny, but other than that, every other sound works perfect so far.
Its a small click/hiss static sound that last about a second or 2. Is anyone having this issue? I havnt wet my phone yet so i dont think its water on the speakers. I feel like it only happens on medium-high volume.
*EDIT* I guess its happenening on silent too and its pretty frequent.
Yes, I got that on my LG G2 as well.
Having crackle/static sound periodically when on calls. Just had device exchanged and still happening?

I noticed the OXYGEN UPDATER APP now has Android 12 available to install but it hasn't quite made it to the official update in the settings. Just wondering if anyone has tried this update and whether you experienced or heard of any bugs?
I have no reason to think there is but Ive literally heard nothing good, bad or neutral. It's like no one owns this phone anymore. An update like this used to be noteworthy. That said, if anyone reads this and you have info, please share. Thanks
I have updated my device today and one thing I have noticed the most is that volume levels after the update are much lower than they were. I cannot use normally my earphones indoors and cannot image how bad it will perform outdoors.
Would be grateful if someone knows how to fix such problem.

I appreciate the feedback. I still haven't updated, but lately I've had volume issues. Both pairs of ear buds are noticeably lower than they were in the past. On one pair the right ear bud is barely usable, especially in a somehat noisy setting, but it's gotta be an issue with the ear bud.
In general, I need to crank them all the way up in the gym.

I have fixed the issue with low sound levels when using earphones, but, unfortunately, I cannot describe clearly how 'cause it was a bit incomprehensible. I just connected one more time my earphones to smartphone, opened some video on YouTube, then pop-out of some option about volume came out. Then I tapped on it and there was an option that has strange description (maybe it is because of localization) that I switched on, and the volume issue fixed magically. After that, I couldn't find that option once again in settings.
Sounds familiar. I think it's a built-in volume limiter. Should be able to find something in the settings and if not maybe enable developer settings and see if you find it there. Something like "absolute volume".
But it looks like you got it sorted out anyway.
Actually nevermind. I got that confused with something else. I believe all that would do is keep the earbuds and the phone volumes separate.
There's been talk that Android 12 and Android Auto don't work well in some cars - not OnePlus specific, but in general. Has anyone tried Android Auto with 12 yet on the OP8?

I did the update, and here is what I notice:
The icons on top of the screen are not the same size.
The Notifications sometimes are lost (Whatsapp/text etc)
Whatsapp voice calls echo and sometimes the phone does not ring
Ghost touches when gaming (clash royale)
The screen goes ON for no reason
The battery sometimes is okay, sometimes it drains (your mileage may vary)
Screen unlock fingerprint behavior slow at times and sometimes is fine.
The volume issue that everyone is reporting
All of if has been reported to OnePlus. If you visit the OP forums everyone is pretty pissed off about it myself included.
Honestly, it feels like this is an Alpha version of the ROM and they are using the general public to test and find bugs.
This is pretty frustrating a phone is not a toy is a tool for work and to communicate with others.
Fingerprint unlock stops working after a few days. Reboot brings it back.
Just to update. AA works fine with Android 12 on my OP8
