I know theres a feature which uses the second mic to check the background noise and cancel it out of the call but its been driving me mad recently. Everyone complains about me sounding very quiet and muffled.
I know the phone has various features which could be doing this but i cant pin point which one it is and how to turn it off.
I don't spose anyone could shed some light on it could they?
cheers guys

check if you have "Auto Volume Control" in All Settings on the System Tab Enabled - if so Disable it
also check the Hearing Aid Compliance in All Settings on the Personal Tab
Probably the biggest thing to check is:
go into PHONE > MENU > Options...
Go to the Advanced tab (all the way to the right on my phone)
There is a drop down box labeled: Reduce noise in phone calls
set that to never
Cheers
thanks for the response mate, that does sound like the option im after! The only problem is im using Valkyrie_v4.0 FireStorm ROM and i think a few of the settings have been re-arranged.
Ill ask in the thread related to that ROM, but can anyone else offer a suggestions of where it could be hiding?
thanks again
Hello...I was wondering if there is a way to disable the feature where the phone changes to speaker phone when not next to your ear...thanks

It doesn't do that on mine. I have to touch the speaker icon to change to both loud speakers. I think you are just getting confused with how loud it actually is when using the normal ear phone speaker.

Try to disable chrome for a while and check if you still have a problem.

Still the same, my boss has this phone and he said his doesn't do this...weird
[JTC ONE m8]
Holy crap... I'm sorry
Just checked automateit and forgot I had downloaded the rules to make this feature work... They were turned on but under the inactive tab so I didn't check it. I feel like an idiot, mods feel free to delete this thread.

This shouldn't happen on the stock setup. The OP of this thread had created rules in the app AutomateIt to turn on the speaker automatically.
Are you running an app, custom ROM, or other mod that might be causing this?
Ok so far I like it - and I love the watch
Maybe a have this wrong....
Mute the watch also mutes the phone
muting the phone does not mute the watch????
So you are in a meeting and you place your hand over the phone, or flip it on its back to mute but your watch keeps ringing! Is it working differently for other people? It just seems so dumb - when would you want to mute the phone in a situation as above but want the watch to keep making sound?
App makers - start building - help us to get the most out of this new asset
I am finding the speaker to be inconsistent across manufacturer phones. I have an LG G4 and it mostly plays nice. I haven't put the call feature through the full tests but I did notice that when I was on the phone-phone and a 2nd call came through, flipping over to the 2nd caller automatically caused my watch to activate and audio conversation came from the watch, even though I did everything on the phone.
I haven't checked the muted issues, but that could really be an issue I need to really test. I have constant conference calls where I mute. I also work from home most days. I would HATE HATE HATE to mute the phone and talking dirty to my passing GF. Fortunately I do not wear the watch much at home but good to know.
sound Alarm
Sorry can not help you in terms of your question, I'm looking to settle another matter! How can add and change alarm tones or notifications, because I have not found tones than only to call?

You have to do it manually, and you have to be rooted. Admittedly this info. is in the the wrong thread, but Motawa88 posted there, so I helped him out there.
Starting at post #353: http://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...skin1980s-huawei-watch-kernel-t3219576/page36
I suggest maybe starting a separate thread instead of posting ringtone/alarm tones in a kernel thread :good:
I as well as many other previous Nexus 6p owners have been noticing that ringtones / notifications only come out of the bottom speaker of the Pixel 2 XL. The irony of this is that any app besides the "Settings" app has all sound coming out of both speakers. Is there a program / workaround anyone knows of? I don't care if I have to root my phone; I want to use my dual front facing speakers!
Thanks,
~Mike
Too bad this apparently is not considered a bug, its just how its suposed to work. In my opinion its pretty dumb not to allow both speakers on incoming calls/notifications from Google.
I'm getting sounds out of both speakers when my phone rings. Not sure if this happened before I updated to 8.1, but I don't think so. Tested it with more than one ringtone, stock and custom. Now, my problem is the screen won't come on when the phone rings. I hope an update to the phone app fixes this soon.
Yes my also only the bottom one firing. Any solution?
Bumping this up, any solution?
Can someone please make a mod to enable dual speakers for ringtones?
Currently.. i am studying about sound mod on pixel 2 oreo 8.1.
My main objective is to fix the crackling issue.. btw.. i will look into this one too

I use a Tasker profile to get around this issue. Basically, I monitor the status of calls, and when the phone is ringing, I play my ringtone as media. Then as soon as the call is answered or ignored (offhook or idle), the exit task stops the media. I just set my actual ringtone in settings to "none". Other than that, it behaves exactly like a ringtone should. My task also matches the media volume to the ringtone volume while ringing, then restores the previous media volume setting. That way, if your phone is on vibrate, it won't still ring out loud. I can do a detailed write up on how I did it if anyone needs it.

That sounds like a great idea that I'd like to try. Can you please share that profile?
Like I said in other posts, sound does come out of both speakers with calls and notifications. When you're choosing a sound in settings, it does indeed only come out of the bottom speaker. I can't believe I'm the only one who has sounds coming out of both speakers when a call comes in. I've tested it with multiple sounds, too.

Confused with what you are saying. Are you saying that when you choose a ringtone in settings you no longer have it coming out of only the bottom speaker?

Yes. It only comes out of the bottom speaker when I'm picking the sound. When someone calls, I hear it from both speakers. I've tried this with both custom and system sounds.

I have attached my prj.xml I have literally never shared a Tasker project so I hope this is sufficient! If you have any questions, let me know!

Thanks a lot! I've only used profiles and tasks in Tasker before, but your project imported just fine. All I had to do was change your task's ringtone to mine and set my phone's ringtone to none. Now to wait for someone to call me.

Yes it does and it's great! I figured out how to test it by calling my cell phone from Google Voice/Hangouts on my PC.

ccoulterjg1 - please provide detailed instructions on how to get tasker profile to resolve the issue of the ring volume using the ring speaker configuration instead of the media speaker configuration, which should resolve the issue, as media volume is quite loud and ring volume is not (I need to be able to hear my phone ring when I am sleeping, and on-call).
This is a MAJOR noob inquiry, but how do I turn off the sound my Pixel 3 XL makes when I take a screenshot, despite me having "Do Not Disturb" activated?
That sound isn't a notification so do not disturb will not stop it

Bout the only way to stop it is to put your phone on vibrate
mute SS sound
Hi there,new to xda so bear with me!
Sound was annoying me too,had to fiddle with sound/DND settings a bit until i got the right combination. Result is no longer getting sound!
Not sure how screens are set up on 3/3xl or if you are on Q beta ,but im on Q and certain settings have changed in certain apps but i muted it regardless.
Once i figure how to upload pics then I'll add them
