Dual notification sound on Bluetooth - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Ok I wasn't sure exactly how to title this, but when I'm connected to Bluetooth, I hear two notification sounds when I receive one. For example, I receive a text and my phone makes the sound as well as my car's Bluetooth speaker. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hate to bump an old thread, but I just got my pixel 2 xl yesterday and am having the same issue. All notifications play twice, once on phone and then a second later through car speakers. Can’t figure out why. Any info? Thanks!

It's sad that this doesn't bother anyone. I don't even have a Pixel 2 XL. I don't have this issue on my stock ROM, but any custom ROM based on AOSP has this behavior. I understand that most people seem to like it this way, but I'm disappointed that there is no option for the rest of us.

I mute my notifications when connected to a Bluetooth speaker.

[Q] HTC Desire HD Sound Issues with Touchscreen

Need some advice or trouble shooting tips.
Lately, my DHD is experiencing a sharp popping sound when I wake the device, use an app, or receive messages via Whatsapp or Line.
Presenting I am on JB and had been on AOSP for a long while. The popping sound only started recently after a period of testing Sense 3.6 and Sense 4 ROM's. Going back to AOSP, I noticed the sound right away. Even with all touch options disabled, the sound remains. It's coming from the rear speaker and even if the device is on mute, the sound can be heard.
As well, with online messaging, if I put my ear on the speaker, you can heard a slight hiss and it gradually gets louder until the pop sound cracks.
This problem doesn't happen with the new Sense ROM's I tested. What I have done was tested different AOSP and JB ROM's with the same result.
My next plan is to download a stock version on GB (ARHD is the choice I selected) and test the issue there. However, I am starting to think that I should return straight back to unrooted stock ROM, but I am not sure if that is really necessary.
My question is,,,, has anyone experienced this sound issue and if so, are there any suggestions or tips? As well, could someone experienced actually offer an explanation for the sound. Is my device on its' last legs?
I am thinking it might be kernel or radio related. I really don't know and hope someone can shed some light on this subject.

I highly doubt that it's software related. I've not seen anyone report any such kind of behavior and neither have I experienced it with either Sense or AOSP roms. The fact that the pop sound does not happen when you're on Sense roms is a bit strange, however I think it maybe explainable by the fact AOSP versions generally have boosted volume levels for better sound.
Personally, I think that you should get the speaker module replaced before it breaks down completely (which I believe is a very real possibility given the nature of the problem you've stated).
Just tested ARHD and when I make a call, there is a slight tick or crackle sound coming from the front ear piece. The sound is faint, but when put the phone to my ear and press the call button, I can clearly hear it.
I'm going to test the original radio and see if that sound remains. If it does, it seems the previous post above just might be my issue and I really hope not.
You could also try a can of compressed air.
By the way buddy, you've been here too long to be posting in the wrong section

LOL,, did I? HTC Desire HD General Section? Maybe I did... Where should I post?
As for the air compressor, I did that a couple of months ago. I'll give it a go.
As for changing the radio, I did and still have that click with calls. Looking grim at the moment.
It's a thin line between where to post, but yours is a question. :beer:

Mic/Speaker phone issue

So I'm having an issue with my T-Mobile M8 regarding the microphone and muting during calls. It doesn't mute the mic during phone calls but then if I put the phone on speaker phone the other person can't hear me anymore. The issue started once I flashed AOSP ROMs I've tried 3 different ones and its present on all of them. Anyone know of a fix or what the issue is? I tried third party dialers and that didn't work either.

Known issue with aosp. Only fix thus far is to flash back to sense.
I had this issue too but then I went ahead and did the gpe conversion. I'm no longer having that problem. But now if I put the phone to my right ear the volume drops drastically. Can't win em all I guess.

Q: Single fire speaker when using on-call speakerphone - Low volume

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue. When I'm on a call with the 2 XL, only the bottom speaker fires, and it's pretty low when compared to my original XL. I have to max out the volume and still listen carefully for it to be of use. If anyone here has a 2 XL and an original pixel, could you test this too and report back? Thanks!
P.S. The speakers sound great when using it for music, games, etc.
Bump.... I posted the similar issue on the Google forums without response.
I do a lot of conference calls daily and was excited that the device uses 2 front firing speakers. Was really looking forward to that for conference calls. Come to find out that the phone only uses the bottom speaker for speakerphone. Doesnt really make sense to me since anything else--youtube, google music, etc. takes advantage of both speakers.
Hoping Google will listen to this and turn both speakers on for Speakerphone!!

I'm sure there will be an audio mod that gets developed that enables this feature in the future

This is done because of proximity to the top microphone for feedback prevention. Unlike just listening, conference calls require a microphone.

So new to this topic aka 'issue' but I just realized this also that the top speaker was not firing when I am on speaker phone.
Just to confirm -this is an intended feature - true?
Both speakers to fire when playing music or videos out loud - true?

When playing video or listening to music there is no need for a microphone to be active. When you're in a conference call, the other person has to some how hear you and the phone app turns on your microphone. Because this microphone is so close to one of the speakers, it must be turned off so that sounds coming from it do not feed back to the microphone.

Its intended.
If the top speaker was to fire up as well,
The other party wont be able to hear you properly, since the sound from speaker itself will interfere too much for the mic next to it
Same situation will happen if you do video call. The phone will use top mic instead of bottom, since it assumed to receive your voice better that way

Wouldn't it make more sense for the top speaker to fire when in a speakerphone call then since the bottom speaker is so close to the microphone???

And there are mods backed into certain ROMs at this point. Problem is audio feedback and call distortion. It's not a fully functional mod at this point. Causes more harm than good.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just a little confused how this happen.
I am thinking, if you hold the phone up to your ear, the mic is located at the bottom, not top.
And if there is a mic at the top, during speaker call we should be able to turn that off.
What says you on this theory?

Bluetooth call distorted since pie

Hi,
I've problems with Bluetooth calls in my car since the first day with Pie stock rom.
When a call comes in or I want to make a call, I only hear a sound of distortion. The person on the other side can't here me in any way.
Normal calls are okay. I have made a clean install, got no error messages while installing and so on.
Can someone make Bluetooth calls with Pixel XL on Android Pie stock rom ?
I am having the same issue with Android Auto. It is like a very loud static noise. It doesn't happen all the time tho.
Ah yes, using Android auto here, too.
Hoping, that I am not alone with this problem.
Seems that Google fixed it with the September update.

Notification sounds only coming from one speaker

Title says it all really. For example when i download a notification sound from the Zedge app and previewing it in there, the sound plays on both speakers (earpiece and bottom firing) but when a new SMS or E-mail comes in, that sound is only played through the bottom firing speaker. Anybody else experiencing this? It damn annoying because it's not as loud and I am more likely to miss that notification. Hopefully Google is aware and will fix it.
This was shared on the 3a forum. It seems the Pixel 3/2 have complaints on this topic with only bottom speaker working on calls. Could be on notifications, also?

No. Phone calls are fine. As a matter of fact, they sound fantastic. Probably because VoLTE with this phone works on my carrier. My issue is notifications. The sound when a new SMS, E-mail (via GMail) or Facebook messenger, among others. only comes through the bottom speaker instead than both. Thus they are not as loud as they should be. I am not having the issue in the forum you pointed me to. thanks for trying to help either way =)
Thanks for reporting back. I'll definitely be watching for this but glad to "hear" the call volume is good although I'm probably not going to have HD calling even though my AT&T PP account shows VoLTE is provisioned. Maybe I can test it out when the 3a comes by calling our iPhone SE as no one I call has VoLTE. Can you tell if call volume coming out of the bottom speaker only or both speakers?
