Phone volume level resets - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The volume level for the HTC phone app resets to maximum volume (and blasts the speaker's voice) after a certain period of time. I normally like to keep it at two volume levels from the bottom. The problem existed on ViperOne versions 5.0 and subsequent versions (all flashed after a complete wipe and run on either of the latest 401.8 or .9 firmware). Because of this issue, I have switched to another ROM, where the problem doesn't exist. I haven't tried version 5.7 because nothing in the changelog suggests this problem was addressed. I want to go back to ViperOne because the customizations offered are astounding.
I have tried the following to fix the problem, but none have worked:
1. killing the phone app
2. disabling Beats
3. upgrading to .9 firmware
I didn't mess with any phone or sound customizations in Venom Tweaks.
It appears another user posted about this problem in the ViperOne thread but nobody answered it.

@Turge, @j to the 4n, @hansbert: I have done a complete wipe and flashed the latest version, 5.8, but the problem still exists. I've also disabled Sound Enhancer and Beats and changed media permission with the phone app, to no avail. Any suggestions?

I call or getting called daily...and never experienced that issue. I think if if would be a general issue, we would have more reports.
When you did the clean install, I hope you didnt restore any 3rd party apps before testing it?

I did not install any third party apps. I don't think third party apps are the problem because I have used the same apps on other ROMs w/o the same issue. After searching, I found other people have experienced the same problem on different phones. A few reported the problem was a third party app, but I don't have the apps they deemed the culprit on my phone.
I'm running the same firmware as the ROM base. I did a complete wipe, chose stock config, ATT tweaks, and I did choose the option in AROMA to remove some apps and selected some HTC apps (although I can't think of a reason why this would affect the volume). If nobody else is reporting the same issue, it may be due to the extent my phone configuration differs from others'. It may be the combination of options I chose in the installer. I will to do an install with only default options selected and report back.

I think the source of the reset is remapping, in Venom Tweaks, any of the buttons (except of course the power button) to the action of turning off the screen. I installed the Volume Locker app, which locks the call volume and sets off the LED when there is an attempt to change the call volume. By accident, I noticed when I turned off the screen, many times the Volume Locker program would set off the LED and notify me that there was an attempt to change the call volume (what it called the "voice volume"). After some experimenting, I found I could replicate the problem every time I turned off the screen by a long press of the home button (I had always mapped this particular input to turn the screen off in Venom Tweaks).
Also, if any other button (e.g., double tap of home, volume down) except the power button is mapped to turn off the screen, there is an attempt to change the call volume by increasing it one level. If the button is used repeatedly to turn off the screen and the volume level is not readjusted, the volume level reaches maximum. On the other hand, if I use only the power button to turn off the screen and disable Volume Locker, no change in call volume occurs. So I think there may be an issue in the way the buttons are mapped to turn off the screen.
Can somebody else try to replicate this issue to verify I'm not mistaken?
@j to the 4n: If you think this problem merits attention, I can send you a bug report log. Just let me know.

How do I do a reinstall of FRF85B? Weird buggities.

I did manual updates all through the Froyo pre-release process, and now I am seeing these bugs that others apparently see fixed with FRF91:
- WiFi disconnects from my home router randomly (was fixed in FRF83, broken again now for me in FRF91)
- Car Dock nightmares - it keeps forgetting the speakerphone settings, touchscreen unresponsive until off/on action, randomly uses N1 speaker instead of dock speaker for navigation directions
- Vibrate 2-step volume down option lost (this may be a feature but still I hope not)
Is there a SIMPLE way for me to just 'reinstall' or 'repair' the OTA FRF85B, much like you can reinstall Windows over the top of itself without losing all your settings?
Key: I don't want to lose my apps and settings at all!
If you're rooted you could use titanium backup and flash an earlier build.
If not, you probably would have to use a PASSIMG then update to 85B - but you'd lose your settings. The market sync will give you all your apps back once you sign in though.

N1 w/ XDA App
Thanks. Is it actually possible to have a botched install of FRF91, leading to the above possible issues, or would my Froyo update either 'work properly' or 'not at all'?
Just don't want to go through all the trouble of reinstalling from a clean factory build for no reason.
And if it is possible, can you clarify how Titanium Backup will help me? Will it provide a simple way to just 'install 2.1' in a few clicks?
not sure what you mean about the vibrating deal, but on my phone when i press down volume, it never shows a silent icon, the lowest i can get is the "vibrate" icon, its still silent but it reads like its on vibrate. I cant remember if this started at the initial unofficial froyo or one of the later versions. Does anyone else experience this, or maybe its supposed to be this way? i can live with it (not important enough to start a whole thread), its just annoying...
Well for some ridiculous reason Google removed the lovely 2-step vibrate option (where you would press volume down once for vibrate and again for silent), and changed the Sound settings area so that you can now only choose whether the phone vibrates in silent mode or doesn't vibrate in silent mode.
I loved this feature before. The iPhone had to have a dedicated switch for this, but Google solved it with ingenuity. Now in their infinite stupidity, they removed it completely. Doh.

[Q] Sound Not Working KFHD

Hello all!
I am new to the forums and I have a problem with my rooted KFHD7 version 7.2.1. All of a sudden the sound stopped working. No crackling, no popping, nothing. I have read in the forums that it may be a non-amazon app that has muted the volume which would not be controlled my the volume rocker. I have checked all other apps and even went as far to delete any user apps via Titanium Backup.
The only changes I have made in the last week or two was a change to the build.prop to remove the Amazon navigation bar. Has anyone run into this before? Suggestions? Thank you very much for your time.

I had the same issue.
I downloaded Volume Control + from the Play Store and used it to set my volume on. Then rebooted. Works fine now. It was caused by another application (button savior).

o2 v1.27 firmware
I had a weird issue in the car the other day
I was using the USB plugged into a Fiat 500 which has the Blue & Me system. I wasn't particularly bothered about having sound through the speakers, I just wanted to charge.
The stereo turned on anyway, and I was having random directions given through the stereo, with the Highlight Video music in between!! And then the ACTUAL directions coming through the phone speakers. I just turned the stereo off but it was really weird

I've had problems with random restarts and WiFi not connecting/WiFI settings freezing. Not allowing WiFi to be switched off during sleep seems to have cured it.
HTC One M7 speaker
I got my new HTC one the othe day from Harvey Norman and I have noticed that the bottom one of the two speakers cuts in and out and if you press on it then it works, but this is for all audio has anyone had this issue or know why it is happening?
Thanks
I got my HTC One last week and the wifi signal is really weak. When I am at 5mt from the hub (virgin media) I bearly have a signal.
My boyfriend's Xperia Z (with known wifi issues) has more signal at the same distance.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Phone in pocket after call
I am surprised no one has reported this annoying bug:
1) Have the phone in the pocket
2) Listen to music via the provided headphones (same if you use bluetooth)
3) Someone calls you and you answer via headphones button
4) After you or the other party hangs the phone, the phone turns on in the pocket.
VERY annoying!!! Please report this bug to HTC (I already did)
Otherwise I just LOVE this phone!!!
Problems charging phone and file transfers.
Ive had my HTC One for just over 2 months now. Havent had any issues besides the back button not responding. But just the last few days out of the blue, i am unable to charge my phone using the provided htc micro usb cbale that came with the phone to charge my phone. Keeps saying to use supported cable or doesnt detect my phone at all. It wont even charge through the wall power point using the adapter and cable provided. Ive attempted using other micro usb cables from previous devices and still no luck. Only way to charge my phone is using the extend battery pack.But have to restart my phone before charge otherwise it wont detect usb connection.
I also unable to copy and transfer files from my phone to pc also due to the usb cable and detection issue.
Has anyone else here experienced the same issue?
If so,how did you resolve the issue?
ive contacted HTC Support and still waiting on a response.

Sounds like you have accidentally bent some pins in the connection, potentially hardware not software related. I'd return for exchange.
2G connection issues
I have no idea whether its my ONE's problem or of the connection provider........ I cant use my 2G connection, it connects and disconnects at its will........Is there any way to test whether my ONE has any problem?
Strangeness with touch screen sounds
I may be the the only one.... but I like a click sound when the touch screen is presssed for a command. This works alright on my Sensation (pyramid) but not on my new HTC (M7).
There is sometimes a very very faint noise about a second or more after touching the screen for a command, kind of a delayed reaction? Anyway no amount of tweaking volume controls or using any sound mod produces a decent loud click sound. I revert any tweaks after experimenting with them.

Push Bug (Whats app, sms), htc stay in standby
Hey,
I'm new here and i hope, this is the right forum for my problem
I bought me a htc one a few days ago, and i've already root it, unlocked the bootloader, set it s-off. my recovery tool is twrp-2.6.3.3, and i have the ViperOne 4.3.0 with ElementalX-m7-10.10.1. for the rights management i use LBE_Security, exactly this Version: LBE_Security_RC_5.1.5446_A1_EN_VI_1st_12.20.2013.
Sometimes, 2-4 times/day, if i write with somebay via sms or whats app, and my handy is in standby and i get the message, my handy vibrates and the LED blinks green, and when i try to unlock it, with double2wake or logo2wake, my handy vibrates, but my display still is black, like it is still in standy. Music works, i can turn the volume higher or lower, and i can keep klicking the power button or double2wake or logo2wake, but my display didn't react. It only vibrates, wenn i click use double2wake or logo2wake. i have to click the power button and the lower-sound button to reboot my handy.
First i thought, maybe it is the kernel, because i used undervolt 800 and max cpu 1890mhz, so i install viper new and the kernel new, but without undervolt etc., everything stock. But the bug is still there. i have the same bug, if i start the camera app and close my htc via the power button, but without closing the camera app, the bug is there, too. this is something i can live with, but not the problem with push messages.
And i don't know how to contrain the apperance of the bug. yesterday i installed everything new, and i install lbe security master, too, but i think, i forgot to give him superuser right, because today apps pushed me things, but they weren't allowed to do this. maybe it has something to do with the bug, but today i realised it and set lbe as a superuser and then the bug appeared again. before that the bug didn't appeared. maybe it was coincidence, i don't know.
all i know, is that the bug has something to do with sms and whats push, and i'm not 100% sure, but i think it's not the fault of the kernel elementalX. Maybe it's LBE or Viper Rom's fault, or may something else.
Do somebody please help me? This bug is very annoying me and i don't know android very well, it's my first android phone.
And excuse me for my bad englisch, i am from Germany and i wasn't good in englisch in school

Sounds like you've set your minimum frequency/screen off to too low, increase it to around 800Mhz and see whether you face the same problems again.

There's a fix for the camera bug in Venom Hub/Addons/Other
Thank you for your answers
@spiralOut
Thank you, this add-on fixed the camera bug, I hope, it fix the other too
@n1234d
Do you mean the undervolt option during the elemtalx kernel installation? Because first I choose 800kHz, now I choose stock, I think the stock is higher than 800, right? And the bug still appeared.
And what I forget to say: I used the swift option from HTC, that i can write with swiping on my keyboard, maybe this has something to do with the bug, now today I deactivated it.

3. Incoming call doesn't display automatically when in battery saver mode
4. While on speaker at high volume some blur kind of noise
5. At times notifications on lock screen doesn't respond even after double click
6. Overall OS sluggishness at times randomly.
Yes, most of them are common.

Most of these are common gripes, none can be corrected natively, but some can be corrected through different Rom's and such.
so basically all these problens could be fixed by the android 5.1 upgrade right? cause i have most of them issues... freezing apps is the worst.

nobody knows that, since android 5.1 is not released, and nobody knows what is included with it. but most of these issues that are reported here are user types of issues. meaning its your setup that will fix or break these things. like freezing apps you said.. that doesnt happen over here. usually its your setup or types of apps used that will cause that(apps not ready for lollipop).
That opens a big can of worms.

MMV, but the update should make things more definable. What apps a user may have and whether or not they are updated to work on lollipop should not be such a drastic issue, In a perfect world, Google should provide for backward compatibility or come out with a whole new version of their operating system; I.E. Windows 7 as opposed to Windows 8.

You should still be able to enter recovery using the key combination:
- power off the phone; can usually be done by pressing the power button a very long time.
- hold volume down and power button to power up. This should get you to the bootloader screen.
- here, select recovery using volume + power keys.
PS: it's better to start a new thread rather than reuse an old one that doesn't exactly match your problem.

[HELP] Mi5 Screen Turn On Randomly With No Reason

Any one here please help me to fix this problem.
My Mi5 screen always turning on randomly with no reason, no notification or something waking up phone like normal.
You can watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQDONn-2mqQ&t=1s or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGRCZSTcLBY to more clearly what happened.
Many users on MiForum discussed about this issue but no one solved.
I had that problem, the solution was(like for many other ppl) disable "wake device" option from the home button, I'm using LOS 16
i have faced this problem. as he suggested bydefault we have option in various custom rom you can do it. if you want to do it in miui roms, or the custom roms which doesnt have it.
if not, than i recommend editing system/usr/gpio-keys file & generic file and add # to home button in both files. reboot . problem will disappear.
a detailed guide is avialable here.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-2/themes/mod-disable-hardware-keys-lineageos-rom-t3696108
and use this method to enable softkey and disable hardware keys. i have done it. it works great.
Have you enabled Ambient display at: Settings-Display-Advanced-Ambient display?
