hey guys,
i noticed many times my M8 volume when i receive a call or notification drops to below 50%. i disabled the pocket mode setting and the "quiet ring on pickup" setting. i want it loud at all times but randomly it lowers the volume to same low level. i have passcode on my M8 so i know the down volume isnt toggled whole in my pocket.
any one else have this issue?
Yes, it's probably because you have the it set to do that when the phone is moved.

I second that, at first I thought I was tripping but the phone seems to do so, I get the issue on the ring and notifications. I find myself frequently pushing the volume up to make sure it isn't turned down.
I have been having this issue, but at first I thought I was changing the volume by accident. I finally realized it was happening way too much to be by accident. It seems to change after receiving and answering calls. After I hang up, I check the volume and it is turned down. I swapped my phone at the T-Mobile store, and the replacement has the same exact issue. I have tried troubleshooting and replicating the issue, but so far I can't pinpoint an exact cause. I may have to return the M8, even though it has been my favorite phone thus far. I have been missing calls and texts due to the volume change bug. Otherwise the phone has been perfect.
I have the same issue even with those settings disabled.
Has anyone tried to contract HTC ? And report the issue?

I have the AT&T model, and I have the same issues. I have (I think) narrowed it down to it being a problem with pocket mode, regardless if it's enabled or not. When the phone rings in my pocket, it is always too quiet. If it's laying flat on a table, it's always max volume. The only thing that contradicts this is when the default ringer rings (meaning an unknown number calls that I don't have a specific ringtone chosen for in contacts), it will always ring full volume (pocket or not). This REALLY pisses me off. I bought this phone for the loud speakers...
Edit: I have never experienced the volume icon dropping by itself. Everytime I click the volume rocker up, it's always says it's at max.
Verizon M8 here - and as such I have to be different. For me it's my Notification volume that maxes out when I answer a call. I turned the requisite settings off but as others have noticed, that had no effect. Simply receiving doesn't do it - it's only when I answer it hits.
Rooted, S-off & very puzzled.

Ringer issues
I installed a volume control app cost .99 and so far fixed the issue
Just wanted to add my 3 day old M8 does this also, even with quite ring on pick up, and pocket mode unchecked, flip to mute check to mute once.
The new software update fixed the issue at least for me

Hi, do you find some issue for that problem? Because I bought M8 6 days ago and I have same problem with that.
We need resolve this because I am going be crazy for this phone.
same
i have the M7 and i got that problem too ...i observed that it;s lower the ringtone volume only when i'm using the phone for something(internet,game,fb) and i get a call....when idle and the screen is locked, it doesn't happent....i get this problem with SamsungS3 too, so i guess its an android issue , or an issue of the branding of the carrier ...for me it came out only after updating to sense6.even if i am walking, my phone ring once and then silcence , or autoanswer....unchecked all ,checked again, try everything, nothing worked since now...
Same problem here..I thought that is only me with this problem but it seems not..If anyoane have a fix for this problem,please post here because is very anoying.I tried all settings and put a coustom rom but the same....
Hi,
Turn OFF the Auto-pick function(not sure this is like that in english), this problem will dissapear.
Good luck,
Eugene
M7 Dual Sim
a;so same issue with me
Contacted HTC now it's fix
I contacted HTC about the ringtone going down after every call. They asked me if it was after the software update . It was after that. This is what he had me do:
hold in the Volume Down key and the power key at the same time for a few seconds. Continue holding the Volume Down until you get to an "HBOOT" screen with 3 android guys at the bottom. Once in there, use the volume keys to go down to "Recovery" option, then press the power button once to select it.
You'll be taken to a screen with a picture of a phone with a "!" icon and a red triangle. Once there please hold the Volume Up key and press the Power key once for just a second, then let go, you will see another menu, go down (using the Volume Keys again) to "Wipe Cache Partition" option and press once the power key to select it. Once it's complete, choose the option to "Reboot System Now" and the phone will start back up. The Cache Wipe is complete.
It worked for me.
Hope it helps

I was excited about this. Keeps the screen off unless I press the button! Cool! I didn't realize you lose notification vibrations too. Not so useful for me. Anyone know how to keep the screen off unless I press the button and keep my notification alert vibrations?

Then whats the point of keepign the screen off if you are just gonna turn the screen on to check it. You're at the movies, watch the movie.
I would like this feature too. During work or driving at night, I don't necessarily want the screen coming on all the time. But if I got a vibration, I could choose to check it, but if I was in the middle of something I could do it later. The point is, I want to use the theatre mode just to stop it from turning on when I don't want it too (ie making turns while driving)
I don't have the update yet, but can't you disable the wrist gesture new and keep always on screen to off to get what you're looking for?

What I wanted was for the screen to remain off but still have notifications. The screen would only come on if I pressed then button. If you disable wrist gesture that helps but I'd still like it to not come on for any reason without pressing the button.
Still need a vibrate and no screen mode

I need this while driving or in a movie theatre. Maybe it should be a separate feature setting for notifications like "only vibrate+no screen on". The theatre mode is cool but I still need an answer to the above use case which a setting would help too.

in the meantime, uncheck the "Mute connected phone" off, that way ur phone still vibrates
Yes. The new feature tilt to wake up on android wear. Just uncheck it. The screen will not come on unless u tap the screen or hit the button. But you will still receive notifications.
Pushing the button on the watch twice will also activate the theater mode without having to go into the settings.

i just tested this. FYI you have to be pretty deliberate with your button pushes. a quick push doesn't seem to work. you have to PUSH and then PUSH again. also three pushes enables sunlight mode.
Seems like this is were Priority mode kicks in. Set it to two hours and only get the important stuff.
There are some no-brainer options that still aren't available for Android Wear. I've had Sammy watches and now my Moto 360. While I can get away with wearing the Moto at work a little more than my Sammy watch, one option I really miss is simply disabling the tilt to wake option. My Sammy watch would light up when I had a notification, and stay off any other time. No need to worry about it coming on while driving, typing, or simply moving my arm (unless I got a notification). I would get 2+ days battery life out of it, and I work Production Support at my job. Constant notifications about tickets being opened, file transfers completing, etc. Some things about this OS still baffles me.

also, go in to "block app notifications" and choose apps to block if you're getting too many notifications. if you use your phone for work and are getting constant ticket updates, etc., create a rule in outlook to move those emails to another folder and then turn notifications off in the email client on your phone. that will reduce the volume of notifications.
i only receive notifications on my primary inbox. since returning from lunch, i have 40+ emails in my other folders and only 6 came in through my primary inbox.

Yep - Outlook rules in full effect - I send priority notifications via key words in the subject, sender, etc (files failing to decrypt, not received, ticket opened, etc) as a text. The rest get filtered into each client's folder. Good advice, thankfully I'm doing that already, haha.
Thanks again for the help.

Can you please tell me if it's something device-specific or maybe Android-version-specific? I have Android 5.0.2 on the phone and Sony Smartwatch 3 (with Wear 5.1.1 on it), and the Blocked App Notifications activity in my Android Wear application is empty, i.e. it doesn't include the options on the screenshot.
Ok, found it. It's currently available when you tap the device name on Android Wear app's main activity.
I have had 5.0.1 for a week now, both versions. It runs pretty smooth overall and I get great battery life. However every day I have had it it will just stop giving notifications at some point. It shows connected, I can update watch faces etc but I get no notifications of any kind. As an experiment I removed all 3rd party apps other then Moto Connect. So far it has made no difference. I have tried restarting the Android Wear app on my phone and rebooting the phone, neither made any difference. The only fix is to restart the watch. I am using the newest version of Android Wear on my phone which is a 2014 Moto X running 4.4.4. I have fully reset the Moto 360 several times, it still does it after a number of hours running, quite possibly after receiving a few notifications in rapid succession.
So with that said I wish I could go back to 4.4 as for me 5.0.1 sucks!
I just wanted to report the exact same problem.. my notifications disappear after i receive several whatsapp messages in rapid succession!
this wasn't before the update
huh I don't seem to be having theses problems but I will try to pay more attention to it. I'am running 5.0.1 on my Nexus 5 though also not sure if it makes any difference.
When the problem occurs all notifications stop, so it should be pretty easy to detect. I have seen a few other reports of the same problem on other sites so I know it isn't just me but if it was everyone I think I'd see more posted about it.
So, I hardcore derped and realised that the watch syncs notification mode with your phone. I didn't realise this and thought I wasn't getting notifications but saw them when I swipe down on my watch. Might anyone else be having the same derp?

I don't have lollipop on my watch yet but don't beat yourself up about missing this. Google got rid of silence mode so I know for myself I use priority mode as silent. But if you do that your watch won't get notifications so then its like what is the point. I want my watch to vibrate and have my phone be silent I don't understand why they would change that.
I haven't received the update yet, when I look for it manually, it just says system is up to date... well, I'm kinda glad I didn't get it yet since you guys are having issues

I have this problem too...I have to restart the watch when they stop working. I thought it was fixed after the second update but it seems that it still does it
Notifications are the only real use for this watch. Now I have a useless piece of metal on my wrist. Luckily it looks good.

did you tried the turn on the option mute connected phone in android wear application and leave the phone notifications in "All" mode?
I'm having the same problem today for the first time. I have an HTC One M8 running kitkat so it's not an issue with Lollipop "priority mode." I am not getting any vibration on my watch when receiving notifications on my phone. I have tried both mute connected phone on and off to no avail.
Restarting the watch fixes the issue. The only guess I have is that something hangs when the watch is put in and out of theater mode, as I have been using Theater mode on my drive in to work.
i don't have this problem but for those that are having the issue, how are you "turning your watch off"? are you allowing the screen to timeout or are you pressing the button?
i've found that a single press of the button does not immediately turn the face off like it used to. this is because there are new shortcuts with the button to perform different tasks.
1 press = turn face off
2 press = enter theater mode
3 press = enter sunlight mode
theater mode will turn notifications off. so if you are expecting the watch to turn off after first press and you press it again, you're entering theater mode. you should technically see a mute icon in the center of your display and you can check the new settings menu for the option.
again this is just a thought as I don't have these issues.
I don't turn my watch off at all. It goes in the charger every night and on my wrist during the day. At some point with no warning I just won't get notifications anymore. It happened three times yesterday - often enough it can't be trusted at all.
I personally wouldn't say they have stopped working, but i have had to restart a few times a day, so yeah that's lame.

Interesting but this can't be it because theater mode changes the watch screen behavior and would be noticeable. Also a small icon appears on screen in theater mode..
I suspect that certain types of notifications may crash the notification handling service on the watch.
I am having same issues after getting the update last night. Randomly wont get any notifications and a reboot temporarily fixes it. also when i do get email notifications i cannot delete the email from watch. watch will say "Sorry, that didnt work"
Pull down twice on the watch
Hi,
I'm still waiting for my update but I did see this youtube video that covered the new features of 5.0.1 and it may have info that can help. Android Wear "Lollipop" First Look and Tour! start at around 1:05 to see the notifications features.
If you pull down a second time on the window you can set you notifications to None, Priority or All.
Cheers!
That is great info, but clearly the reviewer was running a beta build or something because I have no such option. I have only mute on/off. The only other possibility I can think of is that the additional features are only enabled when running a phone with Lollipop on it. I am stuck on 4.4.4 for a little longer.
So does anyone have those options?
nope. this isn't an option.
I just got my update.
The Notifications priority from the video is the first card of the pull down. Tap to switch between None. Priority or All.

So very strange, I only have mute on/off. It must be related to the OS on the connected phone.
I have a locked stock HTC 10 with software version 1.53.617.5 not wanting to go out of DND mode I have the icon showing by the system clock I don't remember turning it on but I cannot get it to go away, I have tried pressing the volume rocker and pressing "End Now" also by pressing the icon in the drop down toggle menu I have also tried clearing partition cache but it will not go away. Any ideas?
I went to try to see if my works now I'm stuck in DND also. I'm one Verizon version though. ill get it working and let you know

Still stuck on tried turning sound profile to vibrate,silent and normal. Still no go.
Ok, I reboot the phone into safe mode once on the home screen I held volume down till it went the whole way down and then pressed vol down 3 times quick and it went off...
hmm.. worked for me.....
I cannot get the original icon back now in the quick settings. it still says "do not disturb" but when I back out the icon in the status bar is gone and all sounds/ alerts are working again.
so can you try clicking the icon in quick settings and back out and see if the icon is gone? try that a couple times, each time you click back out and look at bar..
also the slider on the quick setting pop up (turning on DND from QS) in the right corner will also disable it, if you haven't noticed that one

Try booting to safe mode unlock phone hold the vol down till it vibrates then press vol down 3 times quick, then end DND seems to have got my icon working again.

I'm on a custom rom viper to be exact and booting into safemode gave me a bunch of issues I'm dealing with now. but once I factory reset now ill see if I can reproduce it on bare stock.
I have found a solution online:
Settings > Sound & notification > Sound profile
switch the sound profile from 'Normal' to 'Silent' then safe then switch it back to normal. This fixed it for me.
I'm new to the forum so I'm not allowed to link the source for some reason but it comes from pocketables
As the topic says, the glance view and double tap stopped working after shutting down there phone and leaving it in charge. Turned back on noticed that some features like glance view, double tap to wake up, vibrate on tap wouldn't work. Fixes vibrate on tap by turning off and on again, recalibrated phone still the glance view and double tap to wake up isn't working with screen time out being 1 minute and it dims and turns off in seconds.
Any one know this problem or a fix may be. Kindly put your effort and thoughts I to the topic thank you.

Thanks, it worked. The knock code was turned off.
I have no idea what went wrong.
I just noticed that even my time is in 24 hour format. I never set it that way. Surely something went wrong.

That was really helpful. But my problem is wierd. But first is there a away to turn Glance view off or on. My problem is it doesnt respond to knockOn while screen is off. But what I noticed it sometimes catches some swipes or touches to turn the screen on. No Glance view niether knockOn is working like supposed to. I already did a reset. I did removed the screen protector and case and restart still no luck. Please any idea. It used to work till a couple a weeks when I changed my UI launcher to pixle launcher. So i thought it was the problem but after reset no luck.
One more thing which is the most annoying . I used to unlock my phone using knockcode while screen was off. Now every thing went to a disaster. I also tried contacting LG they want me to send it for repair And I cant just live without a phone.
After disabiling knockon. It still wake up by touching it or swiping down. It doesnt change its behavior. But what I noticed is covering th front sensors does stop it from waking .
Update: After testing. I noticed the problem. When I double tap for knockon. It takes 2 to 5 seconds for the screen to respond and turn on. Glance view same behavior but still hard to get it right I have to touch and hold and wait then swipe down and wait. But what didnt even work knock code while sleep. Anyways the delay in respond is really bad. It never took that long.

I did removed the screen protector and case and restart still no luck. Please any idea. It used to work till a couple a weeks when I changed my UI launcher to pixle launcher. So i thought it was the problem but after reset no luck.
One more thing which is the most annoying . I used to unlock my phone using knockcode while screen was off. Now every thing went to a disaster. I also tried contacting LG they want me to send it for repair And I cant just live without a phone.
After disabiling knockon. It still wake up by touching it or swiping down. It doesnt change its behavior. But what I noticed is covering th front sensors does stop it from waking .
Update: After testing. I noticed the problem. When I double tap for knockon. It takes 2 to 5 seconds for the screen to respond and turn on. Glance view same behavior but still hard to get it right I have to touch and hold and wait then swipe down and wait. But what didnt even work knock code while sleep. Anyways the delay in respond is really bad. It never took that long.

Did you find a solution for this problem, my phone is behaving the same as yours and i even had it send to the service at lg but it came back the same, they said thet they change the motherboard in the phone.
I noticed that if i change my knock knock code to a pattern or just not useing a double tap in the code (just a single tap on every square) it enables the double tap to wake but still w/ a problem.... the glance dosen't work but if i touch the screen just once it truns on wich is very annoying because it turns the screen on in my pocket and ther it gose the battery.
I'm very sorry for my bad english.

I wish I were able, But not. I use dual boot with linageOS as daily driver I switch to the stock ROM in sec when I need to take photos. And back to LinageOS.
Thats not a solution. But no other I could do.
Last time I will use an LG product.

I have exactly what you have. To stop the phone waking itself in your pocket, I disabled KnockOn. This means we can't double tap to wake but it's better than a dead battery. Scroll up as someone has shown steps on how to enable/disable this.
I've had this happen for a while now, I've had the phone pretty much a year, and I've noticed some issues that I've found on other LG phones dating back to the EnV Touch.
First problem, more frequent, and more annoying:
Pretty much every other time I push the back button to shut the screen off, it plays the little tone, and the screen fades, and then pops back awake. Sometimes, I need to push the button 2-3 times for the screen to turn off and stay off. I also have knock-on disabled (Activity Launcher app allowed me to find that menu in settings, which for some reason Verizon decided to hide from the main settings menu). The reason I did this was to, in theory, save battery from not having the digitizer always on and actively scanning for taps.
Second problem, more rare, but has happened from the start:
Sometimes when waking the screen up, the screen will show up as if it was melted, just a bunch of various colored vertical lines. Swiping does nothing, so it's not like I can unlock the phone blindly. I have to push the sleep button to turn the screen off, and push it again to wake up and get my normal lock screen. I've had this happen even on the last LG phone I owned before this one: the EnV Touch. See pic for reference, ironically I had to use an iphone to take a picture of the melted screen on this phone, so pardon the crappy quality image.

If the pic doesn't show (not showing currently in preview, I have it on my google drive, since IDK how to manually upload a pic to post it), let me know and I can try to put it somewhere else on the net to host it. Since my account is new, I cannot post the direct URL to the pic on google drive, but if anyone PM's me I can send it.
I'm hoping either of these are known issues, at least if it's not happening to just me, then maybe it'll get fixed in an update, although I have my doubts.
In case anyone asks, this is running STOCK VS98625A firmware, never rooted.
Thanks in advance, I think my 1 year warranty expires in 5 days, I'm curious if I should just bring this up to VZ.
Ive had that first problem (hardware lock button putting the phone into sleep & back on in an instant) ever since I can remember - I have knockon enabled because i find it worth the bit of drain.
I use this great app Screen Off & Lock to have a soft key in a convenient place on the home screen and helps me lock the phone without having the rely on the weird button behaviour. Device is VS986 & this has been the issue on 13A, 24C as well as 25A. Living with it!
Thanks, I'll look into that as an option, I just really wish LG would get their things in order. They've never seem to have a stable rom, even on old flip phones.
Another issue I'm noticing is that when I lock my screen, and it wakes itself up and stays lit up for ~30 seconds, the lighting will flicker dimly every 10 seconds or so, like it's trying to put itself to sleep and failing. I should just make a video of all these issues, lol.
I have the 2nd problem mentioned. I get vertical colored lines sometimes. For me it only happens when I plug or unplug the charger when the screen is off. The plugging/unplugging wakes the screen in this funky mode. I turn it off, turn it on, then all is fine. Happens maybe once per 20 times.
Wow, I have the same issue! The only thing is, it only happens when I unplug it. I wish I knew how to fix it though, because sometimes it can be annoying
