When listening to a WhatsApp Voice Message via earpiece (i.e. proximity sensor) and another message arrives or any other notification, the audio is routed to the louder speaker for few seconds (length of notification audio) then routed back earpiece. So everybody around will hear that audio message.
This is extremely annoying is privacy disaster . Is it happening anyone ? Does anyone know how to solve?

It's a WhatsApp bug as far as I know. They should stop playback when a notification interrupts a voice message. Contact their devs.

All that I I'm hoping is that anybody who is currently using the Xiaomi Mi5 + WhatsApp to try it and confirm if the issue is there or not? so at least that i know where to start from!

Thanks a million. Let me know of u come across any fix/workaround. Not sure why Xiaomi users (maybe Mi 5 only) don't really care about this issue. IT IS REALLY SERIOUS!
I've exactly the same problem now with my Mi5s. But I'm sure it's not a problem only for Xiaomi phones. Before this, I've used a Oneplus 3 and other phones in the last 2/3 years and always with this same problem. I don't understand why it's so undiscussed.

I was 99% convinced it's the phone's kernel or phone related issue .. now that's more confusing
@XiaoMi Mi 5 users, is any of u using any ROM (Stock, AOSP, LinageOS .. etc) not affected by this issue? Pls help us understand!!
I'm using stock Redmi Note 4 (out of box config) with latest whatsapp version. This problem is killing me
Xiaomi mi a2 Lite. Same issue here on WhatsApp.
Also on FB messenger, the audios are only playing via loudspeaker and not earpiece. This is so bad... It's not happening to my brother who is using a pixel XL.
I do not have access to wifi right now so I can't test that part but I can answer any questions you guys might have.
Just got mine last night. You having any luck with MMS? I'm using a Fi sim card, SMS works, but no dice on the MMS.
Nevermind, got MMS and SMS working. Made some adjustments to APNs. GSM with Fi sim getting strong Band 4 reception in my area. Everything works fine for $199...
Crappy camera(not really surprised) and slow fingerprint sensor aside, it's a pretty good phone. The display is very impressive for $200.
Anyone figure out how to root it ?

I have the "new" Bold N1 phone on android 9 pie, and I thought this was an issue with the phone BUT the speakerphone and headphone volume in calls(media and notification sounds is loud enough) is LOWER than every other volume on the phone and super ****ing quiet. When you go to the sound settings it gives you 4 slider bars for volume, media, ringer etc and they give you a test sound when you lift your finger off the slider, well the call volume(not the ringer) is all the way up and WAY quieter than every other slider bar test sound when it is all the way up, I tested the same slider on my pixel 3 with android pie 9 and the exact same thing, does anyone know how to make the speakerphone/in call/in call headphone volume louder? it seems like its capped as the rest of the sounds on the devices are loud and clear.
I was about to do an RMA for the device but the same problem is on the pixel 3 as well running android 9, has anyone ran into this? If you are on android 9 on any phone, Go into your settings and goto sounds and put every slider up high and listen and see if the call volume beep slider is MUCH lower than the other sliders and reply to this please or if you have a fix tell me! it makes talking on the phone almost unusable with how quiet it is and is making me want to pull my hair out.
As proof its android 9 pie and NOT either of the phones I downloaded a secondary texting app called Textnow and placed a phone call through there and low and behold the speakerphone was loud and so was my headphones but it uses data and is not my actual phone number so not usable full time so something is happening with the actual phone software app on the phones and not a speaker defect. I have tried different phone apps too from the playstore but they all connect to the same dialer and therefore use the phone instead of textnow using their own dialer/phone software.

Just google root for Helio P70. There are a few apps to root it. I am using mine for work so rooting isn't an option.

I do not have this problem either on my Pixel 3 or this phone. It's loud enough to be used a speaker phone during call. I am on T-Mobile.
I haven't had any loudness issues, but I am experiencing the infamous Android Bluetooth "stutter". Overall, for 200 bucks, it's a pretty decent phone. OLED screen is worth the price alone. Headphone jack and wireless charging are nice. Build quality seems pretty good. Almost stock software is a bonus. But this is a budget phone, so... Haven't noticed much lag that you might expect from a device with the P70 chipset. The screen is actually a little "punchier" than the 3aXL I had. At least it seemed so to me. But again, it costs 200 bucks (from Blu/Bold with $50 launch discount). Had to tinker around to get Fi sim working (my Sony H9493 and Nexus 5 with Ubuntu Touch needed zero mods for Fi sim to work) and the Bluetooth stutter may be a deal breaker if I can't straighten it out. Also, expect zero customer service and few if any software updates along with a shady reputation... Anyway, just my two cents.
Ive been looking at rooting mines and I've google how to root the Helio P70 but I couldn't find anything the search came back with different phones did you have a link what I should look for about rooting the n1
Warning guys!
The first process: having a stock ROM!
Other situation: someone with experience for revive phone if happen anything wrong.
Possible process ROOT:
- patched boot with magisk
- TWRP
So think about....

You can't just pop a sim into an unknown unlock phone with Verizon. You gonna have to call CS and beg them to let the device active on Verizon. Good luck with that.
Okay, just found the original OEM for this phone. It's call Centric S1(which strangely MSRP in India for $278 USD)
There are root articles for that phone but they probably will not work due to N1 having July 2019 security patch with Android 9.
So.... I thought the P70 will run fornite but I keep getting device not supported... Was I wrong about the P70 supporting fornite?

Hi people,
So i got my new Realme x2 Pro yesterday. Overall i'm really happy with the phone. Today when commuting, i used the bluetooth earphones (sony wf1000-xm3) and... Surprise! the maximum volume is a third of what it was the they before yesterday with my htc u11.
I'm pretty sure it's an option of the OS that is screwing me up, but cannot find the fix. Someone has a similar problem to mine and a way to solve it?
i tried:
- disable the dobly atmos options in sound settings.
- on developer options: disable the absolute volume.
non of them worked.
Oh, forgot to say: I'm on the European version of the OS

Hi Jake, It's The WF model, not WH (have them too). The WF does not have volume control (because there is no space to swipe)
but once i arrive home, i'll try what happens with the WH.

So, I'm trying now with the WH-1000xm3 and it's the same problem as the WF.
The maximum volume i'm getting is as best a third of what i had with the HTC U11.
There is something very wrong here.
So, at the end really was a problem with the headset.
no problem with the phone bluetooth.
please close the thread
Hi
I have experienced the same problem with a set of Bose earphones and a bluetooth speaker. The volume is significantly less than when these devices are used with any other mobile phone.
It is categorically an issue with the OS (unless I am missing something flagrant, or worse yet it is a hardware issue). Grateful for anyone's advice.

Thanks I will look into it, but these are fairly simple bluetooth earphones, not aware of any app optionality.
I note the December ColorOS updates included a bug fix for "low sound when connected to AirPods2 headset".
Would imply this is a wider issue.
I came across the same problem with the WF-1000XM3. I managed to fix it by changing one of the touch functions of the earphones to volume control. Then I just adjusted the volume on the earphones to the max and now I have full volume.
Got this phone as a secondary device for our new business and so far I'm very happy with it for the price and my mum has just got it to replace her aging Honor V10. However I have noticed when on video calls with her, her voice sounded very muffled and like she was underwater and I could barley hear her on Whatsapp. However, when we did a voice only call on whatsapp she sounded fine. I have tested with my phone as well and exactly the same problem occurred which suggests that this is a common hardware limitation or software issue. Any advice?
Got the same problem on my WhatsApp video call with remi note 10 pro. But when I'm using a headset to make a video call, my voice was clear. Any suggestion or advice?
same i was reported even on messenger that people couldnt hear me well , and there is no option to adjust microphone
it's totally software related problem, there's lot of bug and issues in this miui 12.5 rom, if don't have problem with this issues then wait for their miui update, or you can unlock bootloader then install custom rom in it, I did it and now work well for me. Install pixel experience rom

I'm facing the exact same issue what you're going through.
I brought redmi note 10 pro max on Saturday 7/8/2021 and I was checking all the specs and all.. All was truly good but the problem happened only on call.
1. My bf investigated that when he calls me. His voice I can't hear it beaks and for him, he is having issue with not hearing my voice.. It sound like my voice is breaking in middle of conversation, so I've to repeat my sentences and this is frustrating.
2. I checked the speaker quality, this is more worse than without speaker quality. Realme xt was indeed my ideal phone which I've to give to my sister. When I kept the phone on speaker, it sounded like I was speaking softly, and some of my words were cancelled. He said that the noise cancellation of redmi note 10 pro max when kept in speaker is also cancelling the my voice.it like can't distinguish between sender voice and background voice.realme is so much better. I really wish realme bring again glass body in 20 k range with AMOLED screen.
I checked even with my mom, she faced the same issue, without speaker worse and with speaker my voice was worst!
I requested for replacement from Amazon, it ws arriving next day.
While it comes, I did factory reset and phone service rest and check for latest update. It was smoothly working for sometime, hence cancelled the replacement which I made mistake. The issue again persists next day only with speaker.. Without speaker, anyone can listen carefully.
So I contacted customer care of Amazon for replacement again but they said they can't replace it.. The replacement is done only twice
1. Original phone replacement
2. Replaced phone replacement
Since I cancel that replace phone, I can only now get refund that is 4-6 working days.
This is so frustrating.
The main functionality of phone is calling, if that only purpose is lost, its like wasting money for nothing.

I think I have found the "solution" for this problem. Im currently on update 12.5.8. The work around for this problem is to reduce the video call volume to half or below. My girlfriend and I have been experimenting recently and found that when the video call volume is less than half , the other person can hear you much clearer. I hope this would help.

I have the same problem on Redmi Note 10 Pro on WhatsApp and Messenger.
I get no issues either with native ViLTE video call or Google duo video call.
Same issue with me as well
In July 2021, we bought two RMN10Pro phones in Pakistan. Both have this exact issue, it's so much torturing that I feel like throwing it out of the window whilst video calling. No one can hear what we say at the receiving end. So far, non of the official OTA updates fixed the issue, hoping MIUI 13 will, and are waiting for it eagerly.
My old trusty HTC 10 has a crystal clear call experience at the same time.

Hello 2022 February Here and I'm facing this problem. Speaker not clear when On voip calls. it's irritating.
Is it software or Hardware issue. I'm still on my warranty, have a couple of months.
What I should do ?
Can you please share what happened in your case ? Did your issue get resolved by replacing your device ? If yes, then I'll have to replace mine as we. still have a couple of months left.

Try going to the Xiaomi service center near you and discussing it with them. Report back to us their reply. If they say it is a hardware issue, get it replaced/repaired by them, if they say it is a software issue, also then ask them to fix it. IT IS INDEED VERY IRRITATING!, we have two of these with problems out of the box.
I came to Germany from Pakistan so one of them is with me and I can't go for warranty services, don't know if it has an international warranty. Others back home are not that tech-savvy, so I was looking for a possible solution. Plus, I can't get it replaced from here even if there was a possibility as it would lose the very costly PTA (Pakistan Telecom Authority) registration. The phone was purchased from a Pakistani market, so its IMEI is already registered.
If the upcoming MIUI 13 update doesn't fix it, I'd unlock the bootloader and go for a Pixel Experience ROM.
As the title suggests I use Galaxy Buds Pro with my S21 Ultra. I noticed after the latest firmware update (I did a clean install) that the max volume is pitiful all of a sudden. I've been right through every setting etc but cannot get them anywhere near the volume that they were before. Anyone noticed this or got any solution perhaps?

I did find the solution. Turns out they have their own seperate volume. Whats required is to open the wearables app, and make sure that touches are not blocked. Then insert the buds in your ears and hold your finger on the right hand bud. You'll hear a faint beeping sound, just keep holding it until the volume doesnt go up any further. Then they will be back to normal and you can control volume as per normal using the media buttons on the phone.
