Problem: Sometimes when I am on a normal phone call (Outgoing or Incoming), speakers turns on it's own. If i look at phone, the speaker icon is not "GREEN" (which means it wasn't pressed). I have to press the speaker icon once and nothing happens because at that time the phone starts loud speaker (Which is already turned on) and then i press it again to turn it off and everything is back to normal.

try turning off the smart gestures where when you put the phone to your ear it auto switches, etc... or use a headset or bluetooth

Problems with Bluetooth earphones on Note 8

Hi Guys,
I have a few problems with using bluetooth earphones on my note 8, I'm hoping you guys could help me with this:
1. Is there a way to remap the buttons from my bluetooth earphones. Right now a single press on the play button plays or pauses music, but when i click it twice it calls the last called number. Usually this is supposed to skip to the next song. (Skips songs on wired earphones)
2. I usually make and receive a lot of whatsapp calls, but the bluetooth button which I use to answer normal calls doesn't work with whatsapp. It starts playing music rather than answering the call (Face the same problem even with a wired earphone)
3. When I get a normal call while on whatsapp call, the whatsapp call goes on hold until I finish the normal call. Things are fine till then, but once the normal call is over, the bluetooth earphone disconnects from the whatsapp call. I have to open whatsapp and press the bluetooth button again to connect. Gets quite annoying when you're driving especially.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would appreciate any help possible.

Note 9 started calling self upon Bluetooth pairing

So here's a wierd one. Have a SM-N960U1 on Android 9. Everything's been fine but as of last Friday every time it pairs with a Bluetooth device (headphones, car, etc.) it starts calling itself? I re-paired all devices, turned BT off and back on, restarted phone, etc., but this behavior persists. Music is also terrible during this time, but realized by accident when I press Device Care widget to optimize phone the BT device announces 'Call Ending', and music again sounds great. However there's no record of any outgoing call in Phone App. I didn't realize what # was being called until I got in my car and saw it was dialing itself, but again, this phantom call does not show up in Recent Calls history? Any ideas?
I have had the same issue for the last week. Have tried everything to fix it, but nothing has worked. I am hoping someone out there can come up with a solution.

Question Screen Turns OFF on Video Call (Viber)

Hello,
Just wondering if you guys have the same problem.
Phone is updated on 12.5.8.
Just bought for my wife last week
The app we are having trouble with is Viber during Video Calls. Whenever she video calls someone, while it is ringing, the screen turns OFF. Nothing happens even if she double taps the screen or presses the power button. After a few rings and presses on the power button, the screen will turn ON and everything seems back to normal.
I tried video calling via FB messenger and I am not encountering the same issue.
I tried to test the proximity sensor using Viber call and phone call and it is responding well but not 100%. Sometimes when I put in on my ears, the screen doesn't turn OFF. Most of the time, it does.
I also tested via the CIT (Secret Menu in the About Phone>Kernel Version), the result was mixed. If I just put my hand over the sensor, it does not turn to 0.0. It only goes to 0.0 if I put the phone down facing the table and then goes back to 5.0 when I pick it up.
I tried clearing cache, data, uninstalled, reboot then installed viber but the issue still exist.
Here is a video link of the issue I am talking about

Do any of you face the same issue? TIA!

Question WhatsApp Audio/Video call silences the device

I have been using Pixel 7 for a few months now and am facing this issue since the day I have got this device. I am not sure what is causing this issue. I tried going through all the settings, developer options, custom rules, notification settings for Whatsapp but couldn't find anything.
THE ISSUE - The device works perfectly fine when I get a normal phone call, which means it rings if the phone is on ring mode when I receive a normal call. Where as for a whatsapp call (Audio/Video), even if the phone is on ring mode, it rings for a second and then immediately switches to silent mode. This means if I get a call over WhatsApp, then after that my phone will remain silent until I manually turn it back to ring mode by clicking on volume button and changing the setting. AI have to do this every single time when I get a WhatsApp call so that I don't miss out my next normal call.
I tried uninstalling the beta version, but it behaves the same way for the regular whatsapp as well. I would appreciate if anyone here could help me with this issue which has become a pain now.
