This Vivid is less than a week old. The in call volume is always at 100%. All is stock, no hacks. Ive gone through the settings time after time to see if I am missing something like the hearing aid box. I tried a few volume control apps and thought they would lock volume because of volume lock settings but no matter what the volume goes to 100%. Is ita bad phone,something im not seeing, should I root and go new rom??
take it back to att and swap it out if you have only had it a week so it shouldnt be a problem better safe then sorry

Here is a question for the most advanced of you on wm6 tweak; take it as a challenge ;-)
I like the screen lock tweak, but I would like to be able to have the volume buttons unlocked, since quite often I listen to music and I want to adjust volume in connection to how noise the place is. As it is right now, I have to unlock the phone every time before pressing the volume buttons up or down.
Do you have any ideas on how to play with the registry in order to achieve this?
also interested in this one ... any ideas?
My topaz has exactly what you want by default, somehow... i was actually hoping for the opposite, though...
when my topaz is locked, the only buttons that aren't locked are the volume buttons, and it's actually really annoying, since when my device is locked, i expect it to be LOCKED.
anyone know how to disable this?
Hi Folks,
Happy HD7 user here, have had it a few weeks and really love it vs my previous phones.
However i have noticed that at varying periods of time that the sound seems to just stop working ? I noticed this most recently with alarms not going off, id often wake to the phone vibrating but no sound ? It wasnt set to vibrate either. When going to unlock the phone (Company enforced policy) the normal button taps also do not sound.
When making a call while the phone is in this state there is no sound what so ever on either end of the phone..
Soft resetting cures, but has anyone else had the same problem.
Phone is running o2 latest firmware (phone is unlocked and on the Vodafone Ireland Network).
I've had the sound stop working for music before, but I didn't try making a phone call or have an alarm go off while it wasn't working, so I can't say if all those things were affected. I assume they would be though.
Soft reset does fix it (until it does happen again, seems to be really random)
I came here looking to see if anyone was having this issue, to determine if it was just my hardware, or if it is software related.
I have noticed that at varying periods of time that the sound seems to just stop working; ie. vibrating but no sound on alarms, and the normal button taps not producing sound when going to unlock the phone.
However, when making a call while the phone is in this state, I can hear the called party fine, but they can not hear me at all.
A soft reboot solves these issues for me as well.
I am hoping that the Jan. update corrects this issue, because I do enjoy the HD7 very much.
had the same problem, it was caused when i set the alarm and the alarm was setting off but could not wake me, so the alarm was like ringing for hours, then when i woke up, i see in my screen the snooze and dismiss buttons. so i press dismiss.. but the all sounds from phone were gone...(rings, notfications, music).. i had to softreset the phone to get it working again.
I think that the problem is that the phone take a deep sleep if you push it off. Perhaps MS reduce the cpu power or clock speed in Standby-Mode to save battery life.
I dont know it shure, but the phone responds same as my old blackstone with installed
nueClockControl which allows you to change the clock speed.

I'm having the sound issue but soft reset didn't help. Any other thing that I can try to fix it?
Hello,
I just updated my 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 today, via Samsung Kies. (Dumbass I am, I'm not rooted anymore. Waiting for a tool, or maybe i missed something ?)
All run fine, excepted that in-call volume is really really high, even at minimum. It looks like the 4.0.4 speaker ON. I'm unable to get the phone on my ear without pain. :crying:
How can I fix that ?
Tried *#*#197328640#*#*, but it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.
Am I the only one to have this problem ? :crying:
nope.. vol is ok..
rooting option is till there by flashing Philz LM5 kernel from stock recovery.. may be then you will have apps to control it.. or may be install the rom again with wipes.
Problem solved.
I just tried a call with a friend near me (sound was very high, he was earing himself talking), then I put speaker ON (volume was a bit louder), and when I shutted it off, volume has become ok (unable to ear something if you have not your ear on the phone).
Can't explain that... I didn't tried to put speaker ON after 4.1.2 upgrade.
Maybe a calibration issue.
If it can help...
Otherwise, sorry for that topic.
Problem came back yesterday.
Volume does not come back at a good level when I shut on/off the speaker...
I'm near outburst of rage
Try re-flashing and let us know...
Same issue

I have exactly the same issue, not tried turning the speaker on and off yet, but unable to adjust the call volume. JB is good but this is a failure at a basic level. Cannot find call volume in the settings, only ringing volume.
**UPDATE**
I tried toggling the speaker on and off during a call, made no difference.

It worked only one time for me.
Tried something else which fixed it : when in call, press key volume up 2 or 3 times, then hit the parameter key that appears right to the volume bar. You are now in the vol parameter, showing all vol levels. Your in-call bar might be at mid : slide it to low. Get out with home key : you can now take your ear on the phone, the volume is now OK.
This tip worked for me with my last calls. Hope it will works for you too !

Cool, I will give it a go, thinking about it I the last call I had wasn't overly loud, so I may have done something to it, but next time I am in a call I will click the volume configure button and see what I can do.

I can control the volume now from the buttons and the onscreen control, although it will not go to the lowest notch. Any solutions?
Happens to me from time to time as well. What I do is I just increase the volume 1,2,3 click and then tune it down and it fix it.
But yes - there is such issue.
I've been having some volume issues since I got my Moto X. When I first got it, the touch sounds used to go extremely loud all of a sudden even though the [Music, video, games, & other media] volume wasn't at the max, I used to just adjust it and then it would go to the desired volume again. This was while on 4.2.2.
After I upgraded to 4.4, this stopped happening, but I started having another issue. When I answer a call, the [Music, video, games, & other media] volume goes down to the lowest position. After hanging up, it shows that it went back to it's original position but sometimes when I go to check, I find out that it's still at its lowest position and have to increase it manually.
Also, one time, the volume of the whole phone went extremely low even though all volumes were at their highest positions. I had to reboot the phone to get proper volume again.
Is anyone else having such issues?
Thanks
Every time I notice if I bring the volume down to vibrate only with DND enabled...it for some reason increases the volume to low from vibrate on its own. I always have to change it. It happens during random times of the day without me knowing. I even tried going to the sound settings to enable the volume rocker to only affect the media volume just to make sure it's not me. Still didn't work. Can anyone tell me what may be causing this strange issue?
EDIT: I'm sorry but ignore this thread. I found the culprit...the cause was my Bixby Home Routine. I completely forgot all about it and how I set it up to enable sound when I'm home and connected to my wifi.
