The gym that I go to has terrible reception and consequently I often get the big 'limited service' message on my Desire screen when I'm in there. What gets annoying is this is coupled with a periodic double-beep to signify the loss of service, which is played over whatever music I may be listening to on the media player.
Does anyone have any idea how to turn this off? I can't seem to find a setting for it and setting the phone to silent has no effect.

This is driving me up the freakin wall. I've searched everywhere and haven't found anything to resolve the issue.
I usually use speaker phone when making calls, but recently began actually holding it up to my ear only to find that I keep getting beeps in the earpiece. It sounds like the beep when you place a call and it's ringing, but it keeps going during the call. What's worse, it continues even after hanging up. The only way I can get it to stop is by force closing the phone app and re-entering my SIM pincode.
I thought it was due to something I had installed and wiped my phone and reinstalled things one by one. Doing so I ruled out the applications I use. After testing on various roms (to see if it's rom related), I've realized that I can reliably replicate it by simply turning off wifi, forcing the data connection to go live on 3G and then making a call.
Anybody seen or heard of this before? The beeping is limited to the earpiece and can barely be heard when not held up to the ear, but when you do it's good and loud.

i doubt its anything to do with 3g as your desire will automatically disable any mobile data connection whilst in a call
Hey everyone,
Is there anyway to disable the notification for when your phone has acquired signal?
MOre specifically, riding in NYC subway causes your phone to go in and out of service quite often throughout the trip. If you're listening to music or watching a video, the sound is interrupted when your signal status changes.
[edit] And I rather not go into airplane mode all the time as a workaround. Sometimes I forget to take it off airplane mode and end up missing calls and texts =(
Thanks!

No. This has been asked many many times. If you are watching stuff off of your SD card, turn Flight mode on. That will stop it.
Thanks, I wasn't able to find the right search terms for this matter.
Apologies if this has been already discussed--if so, my search string skills must have eroded with the quickness.
I started experiencing a strange phenomenon wherein, while listening to either a podcast (Doggcatcher) or music (Google Play Music and Amazon Prime Music), at random intervals, the volume would just mute itself. Ultimately, I *think* I have narrowed down the root cause to losing and re-acquiring Verizon Wireless service--although the evidence is tenuous at best:
these "blips" would only happen in the subway (I'm in New York City)
I would always check to see if my headphones were disconnected, but they were not, as the podcast I was listening to was still playing (I have Doggcatcher set to pause any podcast when headphones are disconnected)
rebooting didn't resolve the issue
on a whim, I turned my ringer and notifications volume up slightly, and noticed that at certain intervals my phone would blurt out, "Verizon Wireless" or "Lost service" and my volume would cut low briefly (but then reset up)
Ever since I notched the ringer and notification volumes up, I haven't experienced my podcasts or music resetting. Again, this is all tenuous "evidence" at best, but it's all I've got to go on. Anyone else experience this? It's a little irritating to have Robot Lady chime in with, "Verizon Wireless" and "Lost Service" every so often when I'm listening to something (although not nearly as irritating as having to micromanage my media volume).
Software Version = Marshmallow VS98625A
Advanced Calling = Activated
Rooted = no (natch, since I'm on 25A)
Doesn't seem like anyone else was afflicted by this but in case you were: I stumbled across the resolution myself.
Under "Settings" > "Sound & Notification" > "Sound effects", I had "Sound when roaming" checked. This caused the phone to announce, "Verizon Wireless" every time it connected to the network, and "Loss of service" when losing signal.
These announcements turn media volume down a notch as they are being said, then turn it back up when they are done.
If all volume ASIDE from media volume is muted, the announcements somehow turn down the media volume to zero, but never turn it back up. (I suspect this is a bug.) And if all volume ASIDE from media volume is muted, then one would never hear the announcements, making the volume muting seem like a complete fluke.
That's why my podcasts would mute themselves riding subway. Turning off "Sound when roaming" prevents these announcements from happening and thus leaves the rest of your volume alone.
This is a problem I've had on and off for a while, maybe since Wear 2.0 but can't be sure
More often than not, the alarms I set on the watch vibrate but no sound.
If it's relevant I have Watchmake installed and usually have one of WM faces showing
Also, I don't really use it for connections or notifications from my phone, so Areoplane mode is usually on for the watch and the watch is disconnected in Wear OS on my phone. Also, I tend to switch off the screen to save battery, but alarms do work in this scenario and when they work, I get vibration, display comes on and sound. When they don't work properly, I just get vibration, no sound and no display.
As I say, I had it working most of the time for about a year but recently its gone belly up again and I only get vibration for alarms. I've done factory resets on the watch and sometimes I get sound etc, sometimes I don't.
Anyone else experiencing this and/or any suggestions?
Thanks
Haven't seen this specific issue answered yet - if its a duplicate somewhere a point to the right thread would be appreciated.
For whatever reason over the last couple months, the volume on my pixel 2xl will jump way up (or way down) when on bluetooth either after a call or after using google assistant. It doesn't seem to happen everytime, but just now I was listening to music on my bluetooth headphones at my desk and got a call. I took the call on the headphones by answering the phone and then as soon as I hung up, the volume on the phone shot up to 100% which was not enjoyable.
This also happens when connected to my truck (Ford SYNC) or my running earbuds, and it can also crank the media volume way down (happens frequently in the truck) after a call, at which point I have to manually adjust the volume again. The same activity also happens if I activate google assistant and issue a voice command, but in both cases it is not 100% consistent. It appears like the system is trying to dynamically change the volume for some perceived situation, but it sucks at it.
I also use A2DP app for volume control settings and app launching for all my connections, but I have used that since I got this phone 2 years ago and none of the settings have changed.
Anyone had similar behavior and found a fix? It is really annoying when my music goes so low that I can't even hear it in the truck after a call, and equally annoying when I have headphones on and it cranks the volume up and tries to blow out my eardrums.
