Hello people,
I've just found a very awkward bug on my device and I would like to share it with you. If you can try to reproduce it it would be interesting. Otherwise if you have any sort of information or things you could tell me to understand I'd very interested in them.
Basically, if I put my OP6 on my Bose Soundlink mini 2, screen on the left side, the screen will turn off whatever I'm doing. On other positions 99% of the time the screen won't turn off but sometimes if I keep moving around it eventually turns off.
I've tried with another phone and nothing happens. I've tried with my OP6 on other surfaces (computer, external battery, any kind of table) and nothing happens.
Of course I've made a video to make it clearer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWOGcxfUdFM
So in case you have a bluetooth speaker or even the same as me, please give it a try. I'm very curious about your result.
I'm running Android Pie Stable with magisk and TWRP. No custom kernel. Bluetooth off, NFC off.

This is pure speculation so please bear with me.
There are phone cases with cover that lock the screen when you close them.
I'm not sure but I believe those cover have some sort of magnet in them so the phone can detect there proximity.
As speakers are just big magnets, maybe you're bt speaker triggers the sensor and therefore locking the phone.
I had the same thing happening when I put my phone on a particular spot of my laptop. If I put it just right, probalby the speaker of my phone above the lid detection sensor of my laptop, my laptop would go into standby.
Quite funny to see this poping up here.
Hope this speculation helps you uncover the wondrous mysteries that is the oneplus 6

That makes a lot of sense. That's also why when I take my OP6 off my speaker the screen turns on. Problem solved
But if there was a way to disable it it'd be good.
I just tested it on mine.
A magnet to the top of the phone over the ear speaker turns the display off, and when you remove the magnet, it turns back on.
So I would say your theory is correct.
It's NFC?

Nope, as I stated, I disabled it and my speaker doesn't have NFC. As stated above, it's a magnet thing meant for cases.

i found similar threads and posts but none with this specific problem. i have a b90 from bb, 12/11/11. yesterday out of no where, i lost sound. long story short after reboots and wipes, realized when i rotate or ecspecially shake my tf101, my speaker cut on, then off. when i press hard on the bezel in the middle, they come on briefly. sometimes they stay on.
any insight or answers to solve this so i dont have to do the rma process would be greatly appreciated. after purchase from bb for 299 ( cheaper build to reduce price maybe) i became an asus fan. now, i am really dissapointed in quality since other then this, my tablet is physically flawless and hasnt been dropped or damaged.
edit: both speakers do work when they decide to come on, and heaphones work. thnx in advance
I have cut out and removed my right speaker because it was dead, waiting on an order from asusparts.eu for a replacement speaker
It wasn't a loose wire, it was the connection to the actual cone that was bad, pressing in the middle of the speaker brought it to life for the first time since I bought it, but nothing I could do to fix it, they are more or less sealed and too tiny to fix
so you believe its the speakers? they both seem to work, they just aren't outputting sound until I shake the tablet, push, or sometimes face down they work
Why not just rma it?

Couldn't say for sure, but it sounds like something you could fix yourself if shaking it brings it back on, if you don't mind losing warrantly opening it, but bear in mind, my speaker replacement has already taken 2 weeks and they are not expecting parts until the end of february, so RMA might be quicker, depends if you can put up being without it for a while
honestly i dont want to be without my tf. silly huh. its weird though i just discovered that like i mentioned, headphones work fine, however after i unplug the headphones the speakers immedfiately output sound and continue to do so until i change to another app. e.g.- while watching netflix, then back out and open a game with sound, it doesnt output untilni plug and unplug headphones. this seems to be the best way to get speakers to play.
they donteven seem to cut out with movement afterbthe headphones are unplugged. only when exiting out of current app, then attemptingbtonopen a new one. what is the issuer here?
im lost ast this point. rma aside, this has me curious now
id probally be willing to do it myself, if i knew exactly what i was replacing or repairing or rigging. i purchased a kit with the neccesary t5 torx, and phillips to remove bezel.
how tight should the screws be on the bottom of the tf. i dont want to overtighten. got some petty hope that tightening the screws will help. more sillyness im sure.....
this stinks though cvuz this just happened. you know? thnx in advance.
also lookimg at bluetooth speaker as an alternative
Speakers working after you remove the headphones but stopping again once you launch another app ?
You tried a factory reset in-case its a software / firmware bug ?
Screws just need nipping up, not tightened too much or you`ll either thread the holes or snap the head of the screw
Just RMA it, man.
Hello,
I have looked around but can't find an answer to a little setting I'm looking for.
Is there a way to enable a sound when I plug in to charge (or place on wireless charger)? I'd like to know that I have put my phone in the right spot on the charger. Edit: Found an app for this. Seems to work fine, but it's not native.
Also, I have a case that has a flip that goes around the back. I have my mastercard in the wallet part of the case, but when it's near the back of the phone, the phone makes the NFC noise. I tried disabling android beam but it still makes the noise as it is reading the card. Is there a way to turn off this sound without disabling NFC?
I apologise if I didn't look hard enough for the answers! I tried, I swear!
Thanks

My Nexus 5 and 4 both make a noise when i plug them in or place them on a wireless charger... always loved that fact tbh. Nexus 7 does it too it think.
They switch the screen on for a quick second too
Ive just noticed something strange with my phone. I had it placed flat on my desk and was looking at something with my face close to the screen and I can hear a very faint buzzing, like whwn a radio is on but the volume is turned down to zero. It seems to come on and off randomly....
The sound only happens when the phone is on a flat surface and you have to really listen out for it in a silent room.
Any idea what this is? I do have bluetooth and wifi turned on...
Happened to me last night as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
Glad im not the only one! It almost sound like the mic is being turned on and is recording! Spooky!!
hacked ?
i couldn't send sms few days back .. had to do restore
it is made by the chinese...

When you'll hear it next time turn off DTS, touch sounds and lock sounds in sound settings and wait a few seconds.
Buzzing appears a few seconds after some sound came out of the speakers.
Anyone knows who should we contact and where to suggest a fix in the next update?

they MIGHT hacking ? or checking our phones spying that we have no idea ..
The Google now function always listens? One processor core Is always dedicated to Google now. You can disable this function. If it is not Google now I am very interested to know too. I am very against Google now do function, I do not like when the phone always listen to what you say. And the voice recognition is so good know days that they can turn it to searchable text in the other end...
Some one did mention it is Chinese. I would be more worried if it was American.

Do you know what it is?
My wife has this to.. Weird
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Free mobile app
I dont know for sure but I think its the NFC chip in the phone seeking out a connection...it only seems to happen when the phone is on a surface. I could be entirely wrong of course. The thing is NFC looks like its turned off in my settings but I dont think it actually is...
Hi all users,
Can someone confirm if this is a real device issue or only my device
Purchased nato-straps which has the strap under the watch and cover the sensor and also lift up the watch a bit from the skin.
Had the nato-strap some days now and it was working fine. Notifications was vibrating and phone calls had sound.
Yesterday vibrations and sound during phone calls just didn't work anymore. Happened midday out of nowhere.
Now, if i put back a different strap, which don't cover the sensor, all works perfectly.
Can som please tell me what is happening here? I can't be the only one who has noticed this. Does the watch think its not worn because of the minor liftup caused by the strap under the watch?
Feel the wear overrides this and make it work with all straps. But I really want it to work..... Just as.... Before?!
Any ideas, suggestions why this is happening would be very very helpful.
/Best regards

Your watch most definitely thinks it is not being worn. The strap is not a "minor liftup". It will completely block the sensors not to mention making charging a complete PITA. Go to Settings --> Apps and Notifications and see if "Do not disturb when off wrist" is turned on. If so then turn it off.
My watch auto locks whenever it comes off my wrist since I have Pay setup and that requires locking. IMO the kind of strap that runs under the watch is a non-starter for this watch. It also renders the HRM useless too.
Thanks so much for the update. I think you made my day just so much better! It was turned on!?
Yes, i quickly realized that these are PITA =)
Will try if this helps.
Edit1
It worked to disable. Thanks again. You saved an angry phone call for Huawei support =)

Why an angry call to Huwaei support? You are clearly covering all the sensors. The watch thinks it's off your wrist and what about the heart rate monitor? Why even dream of covering that?
Ok.
Humor. A joke. In the end I would have had to contact support since I didn't realize there was a sensor. Now I know.
Don't care about heart rate. I use garmin for serious running. All running apps can't match up a real Garmin with all of the features (intervall training etc). Yes i use two watches while running (4g version)
I'm noticing that my wife and other people I've called mentioned not always being able to hear me, as if I'm walking away from the phone and then audio becomes almost inaudibly weak - or gone even. I've tested this and it seems that there is some aggresive filtering going on, when moving the handset away from you mouth a few inches, audio indeed drops significantly for the other party and quickly disappears completely. Talking directly into the mike and putting it in speaker mode solves the problem, but I really would like to make calls in a normal fashion also.
Doen anyone recognize this?
It seems related to how aggresive the phone filters out ambient noise / and/or uses a cut-of point for audio strength. Anyone know of a way to adjust that?
I have just tried calling a day ago and nobody has mentioned anything to me.
I haven't encountered such an issue either, I've made numerous phone calls recently.
Which ROM are you running?
So far, I've tried weeklys 20.9.3, 20.9.17, 20.9.24 - then switched to stable 12.0.10.0 and now 12.0.13.0.
It might be due to the fact that the gel case that comes with the phone seems to have a narrow opening for the mic, which is directed downward. Combined with the top speaker facing up, which means I need to hold the phone below my ear to hear the phone sound clearly, both distance to the phone mic and the direction of it (facing away from my face) are very sub-optimal. I'll try to modify the gel case a bit to make a small audio channel towards the mic, maybe that helps.
It's not a gel case and the microphone ports on it are perfectly fine.

How (and who) is this going to help?
I am having exact same issue. It happens with no cover on. I'm using xiaomi.eu rom, are you on chinese rom or EU?
