I cant access my voicemail because the dialpad tone is to long and not short "beeps". How do you change this. I posted on 4 other forums and nobody replied. Thanks in advance
Good question. I've run into this from time to time as well. Hope someone had an answer.

So your saying this happens sometimes for you but not always?
I have also been looking for a solution. Because the dial tone length is so long VM as well as telephone backing cause entry issues for me.
I wonder if it is buried in a secret menu?

The tone length is always the same. Sometimes I just enter the digits faster than others and that's when I have issues.

Solved
I finally figured out how to get it to work. You must select speaker prior to selecting the dial pad. Works every time. If you dont select speaker first then you get the long tones.
I'd like to bump this. Voicemail on my phone is driving me nuts. Going to speaker does seem to work. But really, should I have to set my phone to speaker-phone to be able to access my voicemail, on a $500 phone?
Does anyone know how to fix the touch tones on the Galaxy S?
Thanks
I have the same problem occasionally but it only seems to happen to me when I have poor reception.
I haven't found a fix, but I just thought if add my observations.

Thought I would post an update. I was looking around in my Sound and Display settings today.
I noticed that Audible touch tones was selected. I deselected it and now I seem to have no issues at all with touch tones. Tried it a few times and worked each time. Hopefully this fixes my problems...
Thanks! I was trying to pay my cell bill via my phone and couldn't get it to work. That setting worked wonders.
I just got a brand new M8 HK, and it is bone stock at the moment. Suddenly, all sounds when I press apps, back button, or any input have stopped. It will vibrate, but no sound is made. In sound options, it is check marked to make sounds, the phone is not set to mute or vibrate only. I still get clicks when typing on the keyboard, and both music and video play sounds. All sound bars are at max levels. This is driving me nuts!
I have tried unchecking, checking, rebooting, pretty much everything I can with a limited options on a non rooted phone. Is there something I am missing?
Could anyone please check if you get sound when you click on any input? Like the 3 soft buttons on the bottom, or click an app to start it. I'd swear it used to make sounds like my EVO 4G LTE did. Am now wondering if one of the 3 OTA updates that installed may have messed with the sound options?

That is exactly what I am talking about! So I am not crazy, or imagined I had heard them. Now they are sort of missing. I went to the Sprint store to have it checked out. You can actually hear a very faint click, if you hold the speaker right up to your ear. Just barley audible. We tested every M8 they had in the store, and same thing. Each was within one sw version of mine. So we think HTC may have a bug in their latest stock OTA updates causing this. Sort of like either a volume slider is missing to set this, or the link to an existing slider (perhaps notifications level) has been broken in the updates. So next step is I need to contact HTC.
Thanks for helping out!
Just got a call from HTC yesterday, and now have an official ticket number for this issue. Said a tech would be contacting me soon to work on this.
I'm getting some sort of buzzing from my phone, whenever I press a navigation button, or press any on screen button/action. I first noticed this when I was setting up my phone and deselecting which apps to install from a previous backup. Every time I would untick a box, it would make a sound for about 2 seconds. The best way to describe the sound, is like the ticking/buzzing sound a hard disk drive makes, only much quieter.
This seems to happen only when I take an action (IE pressing the home button, pressing on an app to open, ticking a check box, etc.)
This seems to only be noticeable in a quiet room, and regardless of the phone being on mute or not.
Obviously there is no disk drive in the phone, so my only guess would be some sort of interference, or static coming from the top earpiece. I'm leaning towards a blown speaker, because when I play music, I can hear a very faint buzzing/popping sound coming from the top earpiece.
Anyone else able to duplicate this?

Play Store. Just picked it up yesterday from UPS. That's what I'm thinking as well. Do you know how the RMA process is like with the GPS?
they'll replace your phone for free. what they do is they Charge you another $649 (as a temporary hold on your credit card), while they send you a replacement unit. WHEN you send them the defective one back, they cxl the $649 hold on your credit card.

I've read good things but have no experience for any device I've purchased. Because of the stocking issues (worse than the N4 and N5 at their launches combined), I don't know how soon you can expect a replacement. (Way to shine, Moto!)
Have you all considered that the sound you are hearing is the feedback sounds from preforming actions?
To access (which they are all on by default) and turn them off go into Settings>Sound & Notification>Other Sounds
Before doing anything, be sure that these are not the sounds you are talking about. Last thing you want to do is RMA something that is not broke.

I did this too, I checked and the sound i get is "expected" slightly different if you enable and test agains the nexus 5 in lollipop but its is quite similar in sound. Its more of a popping sound for the lock screen and a bop sound for touching the screen.

I liked the sound on my nexus 5 but don't like it on the 6. I am not sure if it is just more clear now or what but I turned them off.
I just noticed this as well. I had Kritika (game) running on my phone, media volume at 0. I set it down on my desk to do something else and that's when I heard a faint static-y, hissing/crackling noise. It was coming from the top speaker. I held the phone up to my ear to be sure. I switched into Kik and the sound went away. I closed Kritika and opened up Slingshot Braves (another game, media volume still at 0) and there was a consistent white noise coming from the top speaker. Same thing happened when I tried it with SoundCloud and Play Music. It wasn't erratic like it was when Kritika was open, but there was definitely something there.
Seems to me like something is wrong with the media volume control.

You're not alone.
I'm experiencing this issue as well. There's also a subreddit post and another post here on XDA about it... I'm wondering if it's a defect or if it's normal.
Happens in top speaker for me as well. I notice it particularly well with the second half of the ringtone/notification sound, "Ganymede." Should we ask for a replacement?
Nexus 6 Volume/Speaker Bug
Same here. I am using the ATT Nexus 6 and have also noticed that the volume drops drastically when receiving a phone call. Also, it is difficult to hear the person on the other end even with the volume all the way up. The volume issue also applies when the phone is on "speaker" mode. It is still hard to hear. This may be a Lollipop issue.
I don't want to double post but I can confirm after receiving a replacement device that my original device did have a speaker defect. More info in my other post @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57118790#post57118790

Hi.
I have searched for this problem and haven't found anything useful. When I get a notification from let's say Facebook Messenger, it's either too quiet or doesn't produce a sound at all. After a couple messages get through one after another, it gets louder.
Is there a setting I'm missing?
I've noticed it too. Whats weird is that this happened to my Droid 3. Its annoying. A great example was my alarm this morning. I heard it really lite then it jumped to its correct volume setting. Every, please chime in if you've been noticing this!
Noticed this on alarm. I don't mind ascending volume but it's not ascending volume at all - more like very low and a crescendo to its normal volume.
This is new with Lollipop for me. It happens with all sound. I can even go to the volume settings, and the first time I 'preview' a sound it will do the same thing before it corrects itself (afterwards the previews will then work fine until I pause for a minute and try again.. then same problem).
Bumping this.. becoming a problem. Anyone have a fix or workaround?
In addition to above, I'm also noticing that I have my volume set to max.. but occasionally I'll find it somehow reset itself to "mid" levels.
I don't think this is something that can be turned off or on, most likely it's some kind of bug. Let's just hope it gets fixed soon, it's really annoying
The Motorola forms say it's a safely feature, preventing you from damaging your hearing if it goes off while it's next to you head. It should at least be an option.

I found that if I use the volume rocker to change the volume it sometimes makes the volume turn off. Instead I go into settings/sound and change the volume from there
Same issue here. Samsungs have this exact same "feature" too, drove me nuts back when I owned one. When I create ringtones, I create them with the intent of getting the impact of the song or melody right in those first few seconds, and "increasing ring" completely ruins it. I installed this app for the Samsung back when it was on either ICS or KK, but sadly it doesn't seem to work with Lollipop. Maybe we can all bug the developer to make it work with Lollipop?

I'm rooted, so if anyone knows where to go in the system files to change this, I'd be willing to try it.

I don't think this is an escalating ringtone feature -- I think it's a bug. Possibly it's just really poorly implemented, but I've used escalating volume on ringtones with CM before and compared to that, the volume inconsistencies here are far too sudden and inconsistent. For example, sometimes half my notification is quite (or possibly completely silent?) and sometimes the entire sound comes out at the desired volume.
It also does it for tone it makes when you change the volume (i.e. the first time you click vol up/down, the tone it makes is way too quite, then you have to change the volume a couple of more times to get it play at the correct volume). Hopefully this isn't something they designed on purpose, b/c if it is then that's just a terrible user experience (why would I want the preview of how loud I'm making the volume to come out at the wrong volume?)

After using my Moto X for almost a week, I'm starting to see what you're saying, but I'm not sure Motorola would see it as a bug. I've noticed more than once my phone will be sitting right in front of me, and while the screen flashes on for a notification, no sound follows it, even though my notification volume is clearly up. If I go back in and try running manual tests, the notification sound works fine. It's possible that my notification tone (I picked Tejat) is just so short, that the 1-2 seconds it plays for is enough to get lost entirely as part of that initial volume ramp up.
Also have the same issue as you with the initial press of the volume control rocker as well...this issue also seems to extend to any menus that involve picking a sound file to play (like picking a ring tone). Any initial file played will always have its first few seconds lost, and then all sounds will play fine afterwards. If you exit the selection menu and go back in, same thing happens.
My guess is that the initial time an app plays a sound, the first few seconds get lost...following that, it'll play it ok. If you exit the app, it seems like this behavior is reset...which could be where it feels like the volume is inconsistent. But this overall behavior does seem like a permanent escalating ringtone "feature".
This is definitely a "feature" that's coded in the framework. There used to be an xposed module that would take care of this and turn it off. I think it's highly specialized to each individual ROM/device, but you guys that are rooted could try it and see if it makes a difference. I know I will once I get my device.
This is part of the system I think. Because when I get a message notification although is less than one second I can hear it perfectly loud and clear even with the phone "deep sleep", but when I get a call the ringtone always sounds very smooth and after one second goes louder. I think this should be an option and no a " must have"
I have the same problem with ringtones, notifications and in-app sounds, and it all started since I upgraded to Lollipop, so I don't think this is a feature, because it didn't happen on Kitkat. Also, when using Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger I noticed that the internal sounds of these apps are messed up, they sound very very quiet or they don't sound at all.
I think we should go to Motorola forums to let them know about this annoying bug.

Agreed, this has to go up to software issue. I mainly bought the X over a Nexus 5 due to the front facing speakers, it is quite a shame that the one thing I was looking forward to has a flaw on it (at least with the lollipop update).
I've noticed this issue too ever since the Lollipop update. At first I thought I had done something wrong because I couldn't find anyone else reporting the problem, but a buddy of mine said he noticed it too. I don't see how this could possibly be an intended function, as most stock notification sounds are so short that they finish before the "crescendo" actually gets to a high enough volume. It also doesn't happen on a consistent basis. I can get one notification that is perfectly loud start to finish, and the next will start super quiet or be completely inaudible.
Does anybody know if there's a support thread for this with Motorola?
I just opened up a discussion on the Moto support forums for this issue. Hopefully something comes from it.
Workaround!!!
Settings --> Sound & notification --> Audio Effects --> Turn the Equalizer OFF for the speaker.

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.

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.

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

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?
