Sorry if this is a really noob question - I searched and couldn't find anything.
Is it seriously possible that if you leave the in-call screen during a call the only way to get back/end a call is from the notification bar?!
(Obviously without making the power button end calls etc.. - purely from the phone app).
Is there something that I'm missing/not enabling - or is it Samsung's ingenious foresight to not enable you to return to a call by simply pressing the phone app again?!? (Which is a real pain in the ass and a crappy user experience that I still can't get accustomed to after nearly a year with this phone).
On AOKP ROM there is choice between dial pad, return to call and add new call when you press phone app icon during call.
Nothing like this on official ROM as far as I know.

Actually, on stock ROMs, there IS an option to end calls with the power button in the call settings.
Edit: ah, I went back and re-read. Sorry, I misunderstood. Yes, the only way back to the phone app during a call if you leave it on stock ROMs is via the notification bar. I personally find it pretty convenient, but everyone has their own opinions.
Thanks
I guess having an Android with a stock ROM is the antithesis of the OS. I seriously need to flash my phone - except my phone is from work. I'm just afraid that if I flash I won't be able to revert to stock if I need to.

I have a rooted, Liberted HTC Aria. I can set the volume all the way down to vibrate via the rocker, place it on the table, call it from another phone, and the phone will ring.
When I re-check the volume level it is set to the quietest ring, not vibrate.
I have repeated this over and over as I though I was just accidentally hitting the rocker while it was holstered, but that's not the case.
I've tried downloading volume lock. I set the phone to vibrate and test volume lock to see if it works.
It does, I get a message to confirm new volume level, if i don't it stays on vibrate, as indicated by the vibrate icon.
Then you call the phone... The phone rings and the volume is now set to the quietest ring, not vibrate.
Any ideas, this is a huge inconvenience at work?
Thanks.
Don't know how old this thread is, but I will tell you, you are not going crazy.
I have a vibrant that is rooted and custom rom loaded.
I've had the custom rom for 3-4 months now.
I reloaded some crappy rom, and after I did that, no matter what rom i put on it, I get this ringer problem.
So, no, it's really a problem, you're not imaging it.
So far I can only think that the default build.prop has been funked with.
Or, one of the programs that you installed is messing with it.
I think that it more likely is #1 because on fresh install the phone is fine. But upon reloading all my apps (apps only, no data/ system data), the damn phone will funk up and do the ring crap again.
So, try Odin - to stock and from there, flash a brand new rom and restore one by one.
Sorry mate, that's what I've found, it sucks. I hope you found a solution for this. Like I said, I have a Vibrant, so I don't browse the "Aria" forum at all. I found this thread on GOOGLE.
If you find out anything, PLZ PLZ PLZ, - contact me.

Hello all,
I searched on the forum and the closest anyone had to my problem was having no phone audio at all.
The issue I am having is my key presses in the dialer make no noise when placing the call and no noise while on the call.
Example is I call at&t and I press 1 for this or 0 for that and the keys make no noise so Im not sure if the autophone system is registering my choices.
I am on stock rooted rom and shouldn't have any apps that effect the dialer.
I have checked in the settings and the options are checked for it to make sounds and vibrate on keypress.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Make sure your system volume is up and that "Audible touch tones" is checked.
This is my fourth android phone btw. I've checked all the obvious stuff for why I wouldn't be hearing it. All the other keys in every other app work as they should.
Well the only reasons you wouldn't be hearing the keytones on a stock ROM is either the setting is unchecked or that the volume for system sounds is off. I am on a custom ROM and the sounds are working. So this would mean the issue is one of those, or for some reason files got corrupted. Back up your stuff, and try restoring your phone to factory settings.
So I switched my keyboard from the stock samsung to the stock android and now it works without having changed anything else. This is weird.
I have always found it annoying that I am not able to hear tones dialed while in a call on the GS2.
On my Captivate this was an option, and it actually worked.
On the GS2 there is an option for audible touch tones, but it must only control tones when dialing a number, but not while in a call (ie. when using an automated system etc).
I like to have my phone so that I can hear it when I get a text or phone call, so have the volume set to 30/30 and on ring and Vibrate.
Problem I have is that when I open an app or youtube vid it comes blasting out so I turn the volume right down, then I forget to put it back up when I exit the app, so I don’t hear my phone ringing.
Am I missing something or is there no media volume setting? Also is it possible to get new notification sounds and ringtones or to set your own, I’ve not put any sounds on the phone yet, and is possible to make the keyboard vibrate when pressed rather than make a noise?
Making the phone vibrate when you use in general is called haptic feedback and as far as i know the Lumia 800 has this only for it's 3 capacitive buttons.
I would search for an app that gives you haptic feedback for the keyboard.
Regarding the sound volume issue...all i can say you are not the only one complaining about this. Nokia/MS should have made two sound profiles. One for the ringtone/notifications and one for the rest. You could try searching for an app...my guess is that some talented dev. will fix this problems much faster than Nokia/MS.
I'm sorry i couldn't give you a better answer, but the thing is the OS is still in its infancy and things will get fixed in time.
I'm confident that you wont have to live with this issues for much longer.
Cheers
Thanks for the response.
I absolutly love the phone by the way in every other way besides the volume issue it is superb.
I apologize in advance if this thread is lacking real substance but I have a couple of questions most online reviews fail to address. I find myself drawn to the HTC One for its hardware and software but also the fact that it seems to be just a little different in the spectrum of Android phones.
Any way, here are my questions to all you HTC One owners:
1) How is call quality? Obviously lots of factors play a role in call quality but what have your experiences been?
2) Is the earpiece during calls loud enough for noisy environments?
3) How is the vibration strength? My phones lives on vibratie and I always prefer a strong vibration motor.
4) Has anyone tried the app Volume Locker? It didn't work on my old HTC One S and was wondering if it works on the One.
5) Is the volume rocker and sleep/wake button hard to press? They look pretty flush with the body of the phone.
6) I assume launchers like Nova work well on the HTC One? I like the idea of getting rid of Blink Feed.
7) Am I correct in assuming you can close the Power Saver notification by going to the app info and force quitting?
8) Is there any major HTC/T-Mobile bloatware you cannot disable without root?
9) If anyone wants to detail some pleasant or unpleasant surprises about the phone I'd love to hear it!
Thanks for taking the time to respond!

1. Excellent, especially for the caller who is listening to you.
2. Average. I have to adjust the phone to find the best spot for maximum call clarity.
3. Very strong. The vibration rattles the whole phone, especially laying on its back, making it even louder than an average device.
4. Haven't tried.
5. Volume rocker is not a huge issue for me, although there's no way to feel if you've landed on the up or down button. The power button took me some time to get used to it, but it's fine.
6. Yes
7. Yes, it goes away when you force quit it. I'd imagine it comes back on reboot
9. I think the phone is surprisingly lacking in bloatware. You have Tmobile apps, (Account, Caller ID, Visual Voicemail, and TV) Dropbox, Kid Mode, Rescue, Watch (video player) and Polaris Office. I was able to disable them all with the "Apps" system setting.
My answers mirror craighwk's. You should note you can disable these apps without root. As far as the power saver thing...I use it, and the banner in the pulldown menu doesnt bother me.

Hi everyone,
I'm a bit more than a week in with the Pixel 6, coming from a phone that has an actual hardware ring/vibrate/silent switch. I miss that switch dearly.
Is there a fast way to silence the Pixel 6? I'm aware you can press the volume key, then choose the "silent" icon, but that takes some time/fiddling, and it DOESN'T SILENCE THE PHONE. Only silences notifications/rings. My old phone when silenced also silenced media, everything except alarms.
Invariably I'm doing something at the table or whatever and an ad comes on at volume. Sure, I can hold the volume down key, but it takes a bit for that to gradually silence the media.
What I want is to be able to double tap the volume control or something similarly fast and have it instantly silence everything (except alarms), similar to how the physical sound off switch worked on my OP6T.
Is there a solution for this? I'm fully stock, not rooted, not planning to root.

Bro I feel you! I'm noticing now valuable that switch was to me as well. I'm literally thinking about sending this phone back and buying another OnePlus device or buying a refurbished item.

There are times I feel I should have grabbed an 8T for $400, but i wanted for once to experience a pure google phone. I knew it was going to be thick and heavy when I bought it but I didn't realize how much I would miss that switch.
That said, I'm enjoying the Pixel otherwise, and am pretty settled in with it. I've made the transition and don't plan to send mine back. This is a pretty nice phone!

Thanks for this but it didn't silence the phone. I was playing a game, an ad came up with loud sound. I tried flipping the phone but nothing happened. Am I missing something?

Settings > System > Rules. Enable and use the "silence phone" rule. It's location-dependant so there is no toggle like what you are used to.
EDIT: For finer control than what Google provides, Tasker or a similar app should work for you.

Hmm. I'm not sure I understand how this is supposed to work. I don't want the rule to start when I reach a location or connect to a network, I just want to be able to quickly tell the phone to silence all sounds (other than alarms of course) at specific times like if I see an ad loading up. And I would want to be able to undo the silencing quickly too.
I went into the rules and tried enabling, but it's all about doing things when I reach a location/wifi spot.
I did double check my gesture settings, to make sure the Flip to Shhh was on... it is... I Think the shushing just applies to notifications and ringing, not media (ad sounds are controlled via media sound level).
Use button Mapper by flar2 and map long press volume as you wish. That's what I've done coming from op6t

THANK YOU
I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief. I set mine so a single tap of the volume down mutes the media volume. Problem solved! And I like the option to disregard button mapper when the volume control is being used manually.
OK now! My biggest beef with this phone now fades into the sunset.
My initial reason to install was torch which I've mapped to volume down. Great app and @flar2 is a member on here so give him a thumbs up
