Why is In-call volume automatically reset to a low value? Always requires to turn up

Hey guys,
a relevant discussion with no solution is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/call-volume-reset-call-t2900082
Each time I make a call, or receive one, the phone call volume is set just a tiny bit above zero, so I can hear nothing and I have to crank it up. I have to do this each time and I still did not get into the habit of doing it (partially cause I do not subconsciously want to do it forever), so the frist few seconds are always just awkward. It has nothing to do with the mixer_paths.xml, cause I have a "90" settings (by default) set there, so it must be something else.
I know of no setting that would make a default in-call volume globally for a phone. This happens in normal calls, facebook messenger calls.. I think I noticed this happening first time with facebook in-call volume.
Is there anything to be done?

Hello,
I have exactly the opposite problem. Did you solve?

Did anyone find a solution or got this solved?? I have the same problem
I am on CM11 44s, I set the volume to 2 notches and it resets back to full for the next call. The setting is not getting saved or something.
This problem has cropped up a couple of days back, previously it was working fine.
Anyone having any idea?

I stopped having this problem, after I upgraded to Android 6.0.1. However, in call volume dropped even when it is maxed out, which is kind of worse situation actually.

[Completed] Facebook Messenger screen off in calls, no speakerphone, can't end call : app broken?

My mom's phone and my P01v have the same version of Facebook Messenger. It works well on hers and use to on mine.
After a recent call I realized that FB Messenger now turned my screen off so I was not able to access the speakerphone feature as well as end the call. It did not do this before. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, I have also reset my phone but there has been no improvement. The proximity sensor on my phone does not work. I have tried to make and receive regular phone calls and Viber calls and I was able to get a speaker phone, end the call, and the screen did not turn off.
Is there something wrong with Facebook Messenger? Since I have not been able to get the missing features and keep the screen on I'm now thinking of editing the FB apk instead. I was able to extract the apk, can anyone help me out on how to hack this app?
Note : I've had a similar issue with Asus dialer app (screen off, can't turn it on again during call, cannot access speakerphone, cannot end call unless I press the power button) and its because of the proximity sensor. I uninstalled the Asus phone dialer app and installed 3rd party dialer and phone related apps, problem solved.

Hi !
Before proceeding into any "hacks" better go to a service center , you must be sure wether is a hardware issue or not

Samsung S8+ Speaker Turns on Automatically during Phone Calls

Hello,
Handset: Samsung S8+
Purchase Date: May 29, 2017
Problem: Sometimes when I am on a normal phone call (Outgoing or Incoming), speakers turns on it's own. If i look at phone, the speaker icon is not "GREEN" (which means it wasn't pressed). I have to press the speaker icon once and nothing happens because at that time the phone starts loud speaker (Which is already turned on) and then i press it again to turn it off and everything is back to normal.
During a single call this can happen multiple times.
I am not sure what's wrong. I installed a Call recorder app previously, but then uninstalled it (Thinking it might be creating that problem), but the problem still persists.
Has anybody faced this issue or anyone can hint me what to do ?

Same issue with my Galaxy s8 (sprint). Am googling and seeing multiple people have similar, will let you know if I encounter solution.

same issue being faced here on my Galaxy S8 from a couple of days during phone/messenger/whatsapp calls. it is so annoying.
any luck or solution?

bump, same issue here. anysolution? s8 g950w

ANyone?

Answer
You just need to wipe the data cache partition. You do this by turning your phone off. Then do a hard boot by pressing and holding down the Bixby button, volume up, and power all at the same time. Continue holding until blue screen comes up. Then you will see a list of commands. Use volume down to navigate to "wipe data cache partition". Use the power button to select "wipe data cache partition". When it completes, use the power button to choose "reboot". This will fix the issue.

Clearing cash definitely helped me on Samsung Galaxy S8 with the same issue. Thanks.

Quite a nuisance when you're riding a motorbike and it goes to your phone in the pocket or bag.

Pixel 2 XL Issues Dialer extremely slow & Deafening notification beeps during calls

Pixel 2 XL Issues Dialer extremely slow & Deafening notification beeps during calls
Hi all,
I had a quick search on the forums but couldn't find anything related to this. I'm unsure if it's a problem with just the Pixel 2 XL or Android. I've installed all OTA updates and the phone is running 8.1.0. It had both of these errors prior to updating. I have also replaced the entire handset and tested again. Still occurring. I have a Pixel 2 also, which does NOT experience these issues. I'm also running stock, no root/roms. *edit* I went through Google support for both issues, they couldn't find any solutions. They suggested a factory reset and then replaced the handset.
The dialer:
Intermittent problem. Basically when you open the dialer or a contact and initiate a call, the app often freezes for an indeterminate amount of time. It could be 10 seconds it could be over a minute. Eventually it will move to the "call" screen and then freezes/lags again. Once more this can be any length of time up to a minute or more. All other apps work perfectly fine during this process. Eventually the call initiates and you can hear it ring, once in call everything behaves normally.
The notifications:
This one is simple. During a call receiving an SMS or other notification results in an electronic beep sound which plays at full volume. It does the same thing after the call ends. I'm not sure if it's using call or external speakers as the volume is so damn loud it doesn't matter. It legitimately causes me to throw the phone away from my ear and I cannot hear anything besides buzzing for 20 minutes. It actually hurts.
Nothing I do has stopped this except to turn on DND before I make or receive a call, which is useless. I read a few other threads about this being a new feature in 8.1.0 and "intentional". However I think those are referring to the call end beep, or notifications during a call that make the designated notification sound, not a deafening beep. The threads I read suggested removing third party apps and phone permissions, I used a brand new handset and the beeps still happened.
Please does anyone have a suggestion? I'll try anything at this point.

If you don't have issues with the Pixel 2 and do have issues with the Pixel 2XL, why don't you ask in the Pixel 2XL forum?

Hey, did you get any answers on this,. I'm having the same frustrating issue.

I just started to have this problem a few days out of nowhere. Some on Reddit are having issues too.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/80qh32/pixel_2_xl_dialer_problems/
I found that plugging the phone into charge or computer fixes the issues for a little bit...

Had similar issues with my Verizon Pixel 2. After some searching, I restarted the phone in safe mode and the problem went away, meaning it's a non-stock app interfering with the phone app. I restarted in 'normal' mode, uninstalled Facebook (it's always f'ing Facebook), and have had zero issues since.

Thanks for the fix! Phone.app was killing me!

Notification Sounds turning off

Everytime I receive a call using either Instagram or Whatsapp my notifications and phone sounds go haywire after. Immediately after if I use the volume buttons on the side they control the audio for ringtone but not volume for anything else. All sounds are muffled and low or don't ring or make any sound at all. The only option is to restart the phone. So now I'm restarting the phone several times a day.
I've checked zen mode, its off. I've checked adaptive battery, that's not it. I've hard reset the phone 4 times and eventually loaded apps one by one until I found it to be happened with Whatsapp and Instagram. I'm not using the beta of either app.
I've had this issue from day one with this phone. I thought it was the phone, had it replaced within a week of getting it from TMO and its still continuing. This is strange, especially coming from a 6T. I'm at my wits end and ready to get rid of this thing. Anyone else come across this?
