Pixel 2 XL whatsapp and telegram voice messages issues - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hi,
When I try putting the phone to my ear to hear voice messages on WhatsApp and telegram on the earpiece vs the speaker it does not work properly.
It starts playing normally but if I get any notification it starts playing really loudly on speaker until I move it away from my face again and then I have to press play again in order for it to play in the earpiece.
Anyone else come across this issue?

I have had this issue not only with Pixel 2 XL.
S8+, N6P, Oneplus One..

Sound on earpiece for whatsapp and telegram

Hi,
When i try putting the phone to my ear to hear voice messages on whatsapp and telegram on the earpiece vs the speaker it does not work properly.
It either starts and stops a few times until it finally plays in the earpiece or it just plays on speaker even if the screen goes black due to the proximity sensor.
Anyone else come accross this issue?

I have the same problem. Did you found out how to solve?
Thanks in advance! =)

Pixel XL mic and in ear speaker malfunction

My Pixel XL is having a problem with the mic and in ear speaker( not sure if it is because i put it in the bathroom the other day and got some water leaked in)
Current status is that when I turn on the phone, the mic works fine( phone call, whatsapp recording and regular recording ) However, after a while all those problems come out again, people just cant hear what I said during a phone call , mic cannot record.
Anyone know how to fix it other than factory reset?
Thanks

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?

loud beep when ending speakerphone calls

Here I thought Google would have fixed the loud beep that occurs when ending calls via speakerphone by now, but it appears the issue is still present with the Pixel 3a XL. Anyone know of a way to prevent this other than to not use speakerphone?

It's the same tone you hear in your ear on the handset, just amplified on the speakerphone like any other tone... I don't find it disruptive or even bothersome, I like it so I know the call the disconnected.
This beep isn't present on the Q betas so hopefully they will fully get rid of it.

I don't mind a beep sound but it's just really loud!

Pixel 3XL Audio Problem Using FB Video Chat (Feedback + Fluctuating Volume)

I sent my friend in the Philippines a like new Pixel 3XL recently. It's been working fine for about a month, but the last few days there has been a strange audio defect which is only noticeable on my end. Using Facebook Video Chat, he can see and hear me just fine, but I am getting a weird audio feedback (like a distorted echo noise ) when I speak. And when he speaks, sometimes the volume varies up and down and can also seem muted. I've tried 2 different phones on my end (my LG V20 and a Pixel 6) Both have the same issue. He called his sister who has an Iphone 6, and she hears the same things I'm hearing. Since I can chat with others and not experience this issue, I'm assuming the problem is with his phone. Any ideas what may be causing this?
