Dear @BassTeQ
See if this helps go to [S voice settings] and uncheck auto-start speaker

Ohh dear, not the answer I wanted to hear. Glad to see I'm not the only one with the issue. So you did a factory reset to resolve it?
Same here. After so many bugs I am about to sell that damn thing. It really is a shame! Common, but those are core basic things that should never NEVER ever have issues like this!
I have the same issue since a day... I tested many workaround ut nothing works and I will not do a factory reset for that!
Hope we will find a solution.
I read a lot of posts speaking about a USB connector issue.
The connector needs to be cleaned or changed.
Any one have more info ?
For those who are interested, I really think it is a software bug because when I connect my phone into my car in bluetooth, the speakerphone shut off.
So it's so annoying to manually cut the speakerphone that I decided to reset my phone today.
I'm currently doing a backup with Helium (because I'm not yet rooted) and then I will do a factory reset.
I will keep you informed.
Problem still persists. Please keep us informed.
Finally...
After resetting my phone the problem is solved !!!
I reinstalled all my applications and it is still ok.
Now the question is for how long...
You know what you have to do.
Enjoy !
I for sure won't do that! I'll better be selling this bug loaded piece. Memory leakage issue is driving me nuts. Can't handle 3 apps without having to reload them every time. Veeeery disappointed. And I mean common.. the basic calling feature is not able to work properly.. WTF
Seems like not many are facing this issue? It came out of nowhere on mine and I really dont want to reset my phone for this. I'd like to keep this thread active.
Just reset your phone and that's it!

Same problem here and same case. When on Bluetooth in my car, the speaker will not auto enable, but whe I turn off BT, the problem persists. I tried the Svoice, The Partition Cache cleaning, the reset, etc. Up to now, no positive results.
I admitted defeat and reset my phone, problem gone
I've solved my speaker phone problem
Hi,
I use note 4 and had similar problem. After long testing, I've found out mine was related to Gear VR. If I turn on "do not disturb" inside the Gear VR setup Menu and unplug the phone. My phone will always go into speakerphone. Very annoying. If I go back into the Gear VR and enable the "do not disturb" and then disable it again (so "do not disturb" is off). My speaker phone problem goes away.
Do you use Gear VR on your phone? If you do, then your speaker phone issue is probably related to the problem I had.
I hope this post will help some of you.
i got here by doing google.
my phone is doing that too. everytime i answer the phone, the speaker is on, i have to turn it off everytime !
cant find any setting to disable it, i think i going to reset my phone too.
@netnerd, Never found a fix, quite easy to do a backup and restore using Helium app after resetting the phone.
I have this strange issue, I know there is an option to look for devices by BT that can do that but is desactivated.
Also I know there is an option to improve location searching for bluetooth devices and is desactivated to....
So what else can auto activate BT randomly?
I already start a topic with this issue, maybe it can help you

Thanks! I tried that but I think it still doesn't work
I think when I receive I call it turns on but still don't know why
Maybe we can compare which apps we have installed on our smarphones to know which one can affect the bluetooth and turns it on / off ?
I think that maybe MiFit for the Xiaomi miband or the polar flow... both use bluetooth so I tried to block them.
Also when I receive a call, it might be because sometimes I use a BT handsfree...
Those are the more suspicious apps I think

Is anybody having any issues with NFC? I have NFC always on, but most of the times it doesn't work (doesn't read the tag), unless I open the magic tag app: the NFC icon is always there, but it looks like it gets deactivated somehow: I tried enabling the performance mode, but the issue is still there...
Thanks,

Is the app protected in phone manager, battery?
NFC is an hardware feature, it looks like it becomes inactive and the only way to make it work is open an application that uses it, or turn it off and on again, and this behaviour makes it useless..

I am using it quite often and I did not have this issue. I have it always turned on and it never turned off. Which rom do you have? (B1**) because in the last update they have done some changes.
However since I have never seen a H8 with this problem a factory reset might help.

NFC is hardware but requires software like IR. And battery management and memory management sometimes messes with them.
Try backup (Huawei native backup app), factory reset and restore.

I checked and both magic tag and nfc service are set not to be optimized: I can't find magic tag in the list of the protected apps though.....
Have you factory reset it? No one complains about it
Definitely not a problem on mine either. Maybe if you tried a factory reset like mentioned previously, or ensured you're running the latest version of firmware
Some recently installed app could have messed with it. Try a factory reset and check with the apps as you install it.
hello, mine is not working at all. may be a hardware problem? i just got the phone and i couldn't do the tap to transfer with my old phone, and i can't read tags i made with trigger. also the native app won't read them. of course nfc is on
I realized that the NFC doesn't work when you place the honor 8 back to back with another phone. The receiver for the NFC seems to be at the top, so what I tried was pointing the top of the phone towards the back of another phone and it worked.

That's kinda bad, but not as bad as Sony's placement (at the front)
I have never encountered this problem with my H8.Try factory reset,if that does not work then maybe there is a problem with the rom you are currently using.

True!That's odd
It is indeed very odd, I spent hours fuming that I might have purchased a faulty device but I just thought to try it and bingo. Small annoyance when compared to how nice of a phone the H8 is overall.
Since I don't use NFC very much, I don't any issues with placement, but it annoys me a little when using it.

For me, the NFC problems (which were severe) were fixed with the Nougat update.
Guys, this issue has been pestering for a month now and I seem to have not found a fix for this yet. I first started to notice the problem with my phone when I was unable to attend the calls, the screen will usually get stuck or i will not be able to swipe up the green button during the call. Even if sometimes I manage to i will be able to hear the other person speak but I wont be able to speak to them. So sometimes once I restart the phone it will seem to work fine for an indefinite period of time and again it starts.
Then things started getting very bad, sometimes during normal device usage, the screen just turns to a monochrome black and white screen ( just as you see when there was no signal on older television sets). And when I switch to the bootloader screen, when I power the device on, I get a very thin green line for an instant on the screen and then the booting sequence starts.
I have made a lot of factory resets and stock image flashing, and by far I noticed one considerably situation, the times when the sound functions fine, the booting sequence where the 4 google dots animation appears and when there is no sound, the booting sequence gets stuck on Google and made by Google screen.
Other observations are during abnormal device behavior, no function related to sound will properly. To elaborate it, Google assistant wont work, videos cannot be played and even the system sounds wont be heard. I am open to suggestions here. Please let me know what can be done to test the phone out. FYI I know there is a problem with the Pixel microphone, but I am not convinced that its the exact problem. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.
Sounds like a hardware defect. RMA if possible.

It is a hardware issue indeed, I am facing the same issue, I contacted google , they told that replacement is possible tho I'm out of Canada at the moment so I'm just dealing with it through my Bluetooth earphones, everybody works fine with Bluetooth.
That's the only way I suppose!...did you get the phone directly from the Google store?...are they accepting phones bought from a retailer?...since I am in Singapore now...Google support is next to nothing here...try contacting them but it's of no use...only when I get to India I will be able to go forward with the replacement!.....but the thing is .... yesterday...I updated the phone to Oreo and the audio stopped working completely....and after repeated switching between safe and normal mode....the speakers are working now...but the microphone is still busted.
This happened to me, I was given a replacement phone from EE UK
Current update guys...as per the pixel support centre person's suggestion ...I rebooted the device to safe mode to check if the phone is operating normally ...which it did not....but surprisingly ...after restarting to normal mode ...it started working normally again...my query is how is this zeroed down to an hardware issue if in case it's perfectly working for a while and at some point goes bonkers...can you guys please enlighten me on this...coz I don't have much knowledge on the hardware field.

Tough luck mate! Sorry to hear that....you can check it out by pressing down the power button until you get the power off and restart menu. Keeping pressing down on the power off menu...it will reboot to safe mode without your prompt. In safe mode for me it was the same....maybe you will have a better luck...try it out!

well, its been almost an hour the phone wont turn sound back on.
Keep switching it to and out of safe mode...at some point ideally at least the speakers must start lest the microphone. Tried contacting Google about it and no response at all...mine started acting weird only for the past month...I suppose from the Aug months patch update....tried reverting it back to previous stock versions...but I suppose the damage is permanently done
When I contacted google, they told me to send it back to Canada and let someone there give it to google.. which won't happen in my case , my phone also started acting like this after Oreo beta . Now I will restart the phone whenever it happens to get it back working :/
The only reason I am still sticking to this phone is coz of it's camera. Planning to get back to India around December to get this fixed. Support for pixel in Singapore now is next to nothing since it wasn't launched here. I had no problem at all with the Nexus line up but this is kind of a disappointment.

You've mentioned it as through Bluetooth it works fine....care to elaborate on this?...are you able to input voice commands to Google assistant and speak over calls using it ?...since I am planning to buy one in case its a perfect workaround

Yea, Bluetooth works fine for calls, as for google assistant voice command you can enable that from google app settings. Of course other media will be working with Bluetooth as music, YouTube, etc..

Hmmm I don't remember connecting to a laptop via Bluetooth.. you mean for file transfer ? Anyway Bluetooth has nothing to do with the sound issue we are facing, it might be your laptop Bluetooth driver needs to be updated

I had been on the 8.0 beta for a while. Then got 8.0.
Though just 2 days ago, my mic was starting to have issues. Then yesterday, only my speaker phone would work.
Now I can't get any audio/mic except though Bluetooth (I've got a portable speaker with a mic, and Bluetooth on my car.
Contacted Google support. Will be getting a replacement on their warranty.
They didn't tell me this, but I did some searching, and apparently many of the pixels (mostly from the first 3 months of production) had an issue with the soldering of the audio codec. though usage, little bumps here and there, that soldering can get loose. Which explains why my audio and mic were spotty, and within an hour yesterday morning, all aspects of it stopped working.
So, it's a hardware issue.
Hi everyone,
I'm a new Pixel 3a user and I was quite excited to finally get my hands on a Pixel, but I immediately found out an issue which is too annoying for me to ignore: the device keeps losing Bluetooth connection with other paired devices, even if only connected with one. This is so bad that if I cover my BT headphone with one hand or turn my head putting it in between the two devices, the audio starts to cut-out until it loses the connection.
I've tried everything, from Network Reset and deleting Bluetooth cache to even install different Android OS from Android 9 to 12 while performing factory resets, the problem is always there and is just too frustrating.
Are you aware of a possibile solution, like if there are any custom ROMs addressing this problem? I saw this is such a common issue in this device.
Thanks in advance.
Try changing the Bluetooth options in developer options. You probably know how to get the settings menu option by tapping the build number.
You could try the Gabeldorsche stack or other settings, e.g. different versions.

Thanks for the answer! Unfortunately I already tried a lot of different combinations of those settings without success. This is stressful as hell.

Sorry to hear that. Perhaps it's a HW issue with the antenna?
My bluetooth has worked very well, except paired to one cheap speaker. The volume was low and could not be adjusted. I tinkered with the developer settings lowering some of the protocol versions and the issue was solved.
