10.or(Tenor) E Ringer auto-off issue - General Questions and Answers

Hi People,
I have been using Tenor E for over a year and a half now. I have been completely happy with the phone until I had the second Oreo update
sometime in February 2019. Since then, when I turn the silent mode on and switch it off, the ringer doesn't work. The volume is set to full,
DND is not neither on nor does it have a rule for switching on automatically. I miss a lot of calls and messages due to this.
The only solution I have is to restart my device, then the ringer will work. That is a difficult thing too, since I have to switch to silent mode and
back quite frequently on a daily basis. I had sent the phone for service after a factory reset, and all they did was to update it once again and send
it back to me.
Can someone give a solution for this issue?
Thanks!!!

Issues with the Vibrate Volume Setting

Received my Sensation directly from T-Mobile last week and noticed that I was missing alot of phone calls and messages. I always have my phone set to vibrate, so I originally thought the issue was simply that the Sensation didn't vibrate quite as hard as my old phone (MT4G).
Anyways, I called my Sensation from my work line to see what was going on.
1/3 of the time the phone would not vibrate at all
1/3 of the time the phone would vibrate once and then go silent
1/3 of the time the phone would continually vibrate as expected
Restarted the phone a few times, same problem.
Factory reset, problem still there.
Anyone else run into this issue?
I am having this issue as well. I have an email into HTC. Mine only vibrates when I turn it on. So I know it can vibrate.

Silent mode in Lollipop?

Hey all,
So I've been running Lollipop for a few days now and till now I haven't find the silent mode. So even without vibration for calls.
Right now I have two choices:
1. Completly silent. But this will also silence my alarm which I don't want.
2. Let it vibrate. Which I don't want for phone calls.
I want my phone to be silenced but the alarm excluded.
Normally users could hit the volume down key one more time and put their smartphone into silent mode where it won’t even vibrate.
I've been searching for days for this simple option. Can someone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

Priority Mode.
Under "Interruptions" turn off everything and the only thing that will make a sound when the phone is in Priority Mode is the Alarm.

And the low battery sound and the charging sound and a few other system sounds. Priority mode is a poor substitution for a real silent mode.
I can't believe Google took silent mode out.
What the F were they thinking?

Also Viber,Whatsapp etc. will ignore it. Poor feature do far.

Set volume to 1 (Just before vibrate mode). Sit and reboot phone. You will now be in silent mode.
It's messed up for sure. I had it set to "priority" with everything unchecked so just my alarm would come through but some dumb Facebook notification woke me up in the middle of the night. Wasn't amused.
The only way to silent the phone except for alarms is to put it in airplane mode? Ridiculous.
Looking forward to some custom ROMs to fix up this mess.
This is my main reason for not updating to 5.0 so far... All I want is to be able to set the phone to totally silent, but still have the LED light for notifications without having to download something like LightFlow to do it. I like having nothing make noise/vibrate, but still have the LED blink when something comes in.

I developed an app: Call Filter Alarm. Its sleep mode can silence all notifications (also whatsapp and viber), even on Lollipop.
Hope it helps

Hi guys!
I too have the same problem and no app helped me... so I searched far and wide and I finally found a simple trick With my knowledge I have created an app:
Silent Mode Lollipop (search for it.merkcoolapp.silentmodelollipopfree in the Google Play Store to find it)
It only does one thing: switch from normal mode to silent mode, on any version of Android (of course, including Lollipop).
Remember, it's the 1.0 version
I hope it helps!

I made a small workaround that is very handy!
I used Nova Activities widget to create a shortcut to the Sounds and Notificaitions --> Interruptions activity.
Whenever I want to sleep, I simply tap the widget on my homescreen, turn off Calls as priority notifications and go to sleep with peace of mind
As soon as I wake up, I simply enable Calls as priority interruptions again by using the Nova widget
I know this is a workaround but this is the best way I found so far to solve this irritating problem on Android Lollipop.
I would also love to hear about any workarounds that anyone else on XDA has hacked together! Probably whip out a dialog UI using Tasker?
Hit thanks if my post helped you
There is an app called True Silent Mode which supposedly adds back silence like we are all used to. Alternatively you can try a different ROM. CM12 has the usual "silent but with alarms on" mode.

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.

Google Pixel Keeps Hanging and phone Reboots every time i Receive or Make a Call!

Google Pixel Going Crazy after 8.0 Update!
It does not let me answer any calls or make any calls, when ever the person on the other end picks up the phone it freezes, or when ever i answer the call the app freezes, crashes, then my pixel restarts, This also happens on any Application which u can make a call on such as Whatsapp, Viber or even facebook messenger.
I have sent so many bug reports, Still no news or luck, Two weeks back an update of 50.2MB was there, i updated and it was ok for 2 or 3 days and this started happening again,
I also notice when ever im watching a video or playing a song on my pixel, and i try to increase or decrease my volume i cant play with the "Media" volume with my volume key on the side of my phone, i can only increase or decrease the volume of 'Call' option.
Also i have noticed that when this happens the phones mic/speaker is having some issues since i tried tuning my Guitar with a Guitar tuner app and the mic wont pic any sound from my guitar.
This is starting to get really annoying and frustrating!!!
Google Please don't Disappoint us,
Hope this issue gets solved Soon!
Hardware mic issue "hairline crack in the audio codec", it is known and my previous pixel had this issue, and I bought a new one since I couldn't send it back for replacement, check Google for RMA.
Made any headway with this problem?
I'm copping it as well, and not very pleased. I use my phone for business, and this is quite debilitating & unprofessional not being able to take a call, obviously.
I had a crash/reboot issue on my pixel xl
I booted into safe mode
then restarted in normal mode and seems to have cleared it
may not cure, but worth a try
are you on stock? beta? custom rom?
Google Pixel Keeps Hanging on phone calls After Android 10 Update
I have Google Pixel 1- Sailfish-128 GB. I am having problems with using the Phone app functionality. When I am receiving any call and I answer it, the phone app crashes and the phone is not usable. Entire system UI crashes and the only option I have is pressing the power and volume down button to force shut it down. Same thing happens when I place any outgoing call through phone app or making/receiving call on any 3rd party apps like Whatsapp, Instagram etc.. I have tried factory reset from settings, Resetting from recovery.. but nothing helps.
Phone works somewhat fine as long as there is not outgoing/incoming calls.

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?
