I'm so frustrated. I lower the ringtone volume on my phone to a normal, human level. I don't mess with it. Then inevitably my phone rings and the volume is somehow back to super ridiculously freaking loud. What is changing my volumes? I've tried different things to see if I can trigger the change but it seems to happen by itself with no apparent trigger. Am I the only one with this issue? I'm pretty close to building Tasker profiles to put a bandaid on it, but it would be great to know the root cause.
Maybe you have this enabled in dialer settings?
Thanks for your reply. I was really hoping that would be it but strangely I don't even have that setting. I'm on MHA-L29C567B138
UPDATE: This setting cannot be found in the normal phone settings. Searching for "pocket" there returns no results. It's only accessible through the phone dialer, and the 3-dot menu that appears there. When I finally found it, I found it was set to "ON" so I turned it off. We'll see what happens.

Thanks! It got to the point where I just left the thing on vibrate! I've turned this setting off, I'm going to give it a spin tomorrow and hopefully it's successful! Man this things LOUD!??
So after finding and disabling pocket mode, I set my ring volume low. I booted to recovery to clear the cache partition for good measure. Restarted. Volume still low. Charged my phone, had it next to me while sleeping, had it in my pocket, brought it to my desk, and checked the volume. Still low. Fixed? So I thought... Then 2 minutes later it rang LOUD and scared the crap out of me. I literally just checked the volume and it was low, but when the call came in it set itself all the way up. WT actual F?
So then I ran some more tests.
1. I set the ring volume to the lowest before the bottom volume, and turned off he phone screen. Then I called myself from my land line. The call came in with the volume up at about 80%.
I hung up, turned it back down.
2. this time I didn't turn the screen off. Just left it sitting there immediately after lowering the volume. Called the phone and it rang again at about 80% volume.
I FIXED IT!
Turns out when I got the phone and google moved my apps over from my old phone I moved over "Profile Widget", which I used to use in combination with Tasker on my old rooted Note 3 to manage my volumes. I never opened Profile Widget or had it on my desktop, but it was installed because it came along for the ride when google restored my apps from my account. I uninstalled Profile Widget entirely, and now my ringtone volume is respected.
I hope this helps someone else. If it's not "Profile Widget", try opening the "phone manager" app, click on "permissions" , click on "phone", and see what is listed and enabled there. That's how I tracked down what it could be on my device.
I found the solution,the ringtone volume keeps resetting itself to load because the pocketmode is switched on, so basically the concept of pocket mode is the volume goes up anytime the phone is in your pocket or is covered by something so that you don't miss you call.
To turn it off, open the dialer, go to settings, find pocket mode and toggle it off.
To find the dialer just search it in the search bar, the click on the three dots at the bottom of the screen to access the settings.
Thank You.
what is the minimum of the sound ..i cannot put less then 25% in volume setings..but this is same to loud for me
pocekt mode is off ...

Is it possible to activate the loudspeaker on my Xda before choosing a telephone number?
Dial a number. Disconnect and tap onto the signal symbol in the title bar. Tap onto the disconnect telephone button and then immediately press the green button (accept telephone call) keeping it pressed until the note appears: The loudspeaker is activated.
The telephone then disconnects without establishing a connection. The information that the loudspeaker is activated remains.
Turn on the telephone. The loudspeaker is turned on instantly with each dialled number.
thats the info in their faq section but i dont understand???? what ive been trying to do is:
dial 4444....
hit the red button and then click the signal bar at the top of the screen
tap red button then hold green button down....
just doesnt do nothing :\ anyone know how to do this?
figured it out
right.......
phone loaded up as normal
dial any number and use the stylus to tap talk on the screen
then when connected use stylus to hit end on the screen
then quickly tap the signal bar and hit turn phone off or flight mode on
then quickly hold down the green BUTTON and speaker phone will turn itself on and the phone will turn off.
then just tap the signal bars again turn the phone part backon
there you go you now have h/f mode on all the time good for when driving
gaz
Yup, it works, a real convoluted way of doing things dont you think but something I have been trying to do for ages and finally gave up. Thanks
i wouldnt call it a propper way of doing it lol id call it more of a glitch in ppc lol but at least it works but you dont get no tones from keypad numbers if you turn them on and then so softreset they come abck on but h/s mode disapears......
but guess whats in my statup folder for some strange unknown reason a shortcut to handsfree.exe i click it it doesnt seem to do nothing but its just appeared in there for no reason.
ive searched windows directory and cannot see handsfree.exe so i linked to my pc to search found it i try copy it over from the ppc to my xp pc with show all files turned on but the icon just dissapears then i try copy it over again and it says do you want to overwrite this file so its on my pc but it just dont show up :\
it would be great if i could get this h/f thing into my startup lol so it comes on when turning the phone on

I can't believe O2 tells people to do this. Surely the effort of coding this small feature s less than the extra hassle of having your customers perform such 'dirty' workarounds.
There's some serious glitches in the support->coders communication pipeline for these devices, I tell you.
i totally agree
it would be nice if it done like......
when receiving a call and the screen pops up answer / reject
if it had aonother box option for like loudspeaker answer that would be cool
Maybe obtuse, but it works
On several occasions, I had fumbled fingered my PPC during a call and wound up with the H/S turned on semi-permanent. I never could figure out what I did. This is great info, but I agree, a nice little app would be a LOT better.
david
when u do this after turning the fone part back on hold the green button it goes off hold it again it comes back on if you tap the green button the telephone screen shows tis pretty cool but the device liek sounds low? till after the softreset
The other way round?
Having turned the XDA II off for a flight by powering down rather than putting on flight safe mode, all phone calls now are handsfree. How can I get it back to 'normal' mode?????
Driving me insane!!!
Is there a setting to silence the phone on an incoming call when the phone is locked? Pressing the volume up or down WON'T work with me.
Thanks in advance.
i just tried on my phone several times from different numbers and it works fine for me.. both buttons too
Were you using any program such as manic AutoKeylock? or you just held the end call button to lock it?
Maybe I need to reset it but I didn't install any programs.
just end button i did not think i needed a program to autolock my phone
silence
Hi,
when somebody calls me i would like to silence the ringtone and not hangup. (on sonyericsson you press the side key for volume)
pressing volume up or down doesn't work for me either. is there a place in settings where you have to enable this feature? (i sure couldn't find it )
I would like to confirm that a hard reset fixed the problem! Pressing volume down while phone is locked SHOULD silence the phone by default.
Could be some software glitch that messed it up in the first place.
Figured out the problem. It seems to me that when there is an active connection, i.e EDGE is connected and it is showing in the near the cell signal, you WON'T be able to silence it by pressing a volume down.
If you go to connection manager and disconnect Edge by pressing 6, then lock it and let somebody call you, you WILL be able to silence it!
I have tried the above three times to confirm it. Seems pretty messed up if you ask me!
If you know how to solve the problem, please let me know.
Anybody figured out the problem (Read above)? I will paypal you $20 if you can get this to work!
Really, why did they mess it up like that when my previous phone, SDA, worked!
I wanted to ride the ICS wave but after experimenting with multiple radios/ROMs/hboots/kernels configurations I always got the same issue - while in call my screen gets black and no button will wake it up unless the call is interrupted (by the other side). Haven't found a real solution but created a workaround that actually works pretty well for me and decided to share it with whoever is in the same boat.
APK and sources attached.
I created a simple service that kick in during an active call. If activated tricks the phone into thinking that there are headphones plugged in and the screen is being turned on. While in this more the audio is being redirected to the headphone jack so you don't hear anything through the earpiece but normally I need the screen on only when I want to hang up and either way don't hear anything. Basically works perfectly well for my needs.
After installation enable and configure the service via the simple form. Once done when you get the black screen push the Vol Down multiple times to get the the lowest value and the service will unlock your screen. To get back the audio through the earpiece (and lock your screen) press Vol Up as many times as necessary to get to the max volume.
so is it one or the other?
!!senseless sensation!!
Hello everyone. After recently being dropped by Sprint for roaming (not intentional; coverage in my house is terrible since the tower upgrades) we decided to switch to Verizon. As a result, we chose to get a couple Galaxy S IIIs on my family plan. Both myself and my brother both have one. Mine doesn't display this problem, but his does. When he goes to turn the volume all of the way down, it turns down the system and the ringtone volume, but the notification volume stays the same. He has to manually press the little cog button to drop down the extended sound options to trigger it. Mine doesn't have this happen at all. Mine automatically mutes all of the sounds when I turn the volume all of the way down. I am sure it is a setting that we are both overlooking, but I was wondering if anyone has had this issue and knows of the problem.
Thanks for reading
Randomly, my phone started doing weird things when my headset is plugged in. It has never done this before. I have a feeling that this started when I Assigned Buttons that was meant for 3-buttoned headset on to mine with one button.
Every time I set it to control music playback, it randomly plays different music from my music app. And when I set it to control volume level, the volume goes crazy. But I tried headphones with no buttons at all and it doesn't do crazy things.
I have MIUI 11.0.5 and I've tried searching for this problem but I couldn't find a solution. Is there, like, a way to reset the settings for the assigned buttons?
Also, let me ask this, why doesn't my settings doesn't have options for one buttoned headset?

I had the same issue. Turned out it was the issue with the headphone buttons. I just claimed money for the headphones and got refunded in full. If your headphones have warranty, claim it. If not, then there is just one thing you can do, put feviquick on the heaphone button so it can't be pressed at all.
P.S: It might even make the headphones unusable. Proceed with caution.
