Wendoll, we don't want anyone yelling in your ear, let's work on getting the volume on your phone back to normal. When did this issue start?  Are you connecting a Bluetooth device to the phone? Are the Volume keys on the phone working properly?

Hello, thanks for helping me.

I purchased phone Sunday (7/12). I've not set up any of my Bluetooth items

yet (car, laptop.). I see Bluetooth is set to on.

The volume toggle button on side of phone works good. I am able to adjust

speak volume. Toggle does not seem 'loose'. I have to apply some pressure

to reduce volume.

I've had various people call my phone and it consistently reverts back to

max speaker volume. Crazy!

I have an app that helps me control ringtone/alerts/notifications. It's

called 'Audio Profiles'. My husband uses this app on his Maxx Turbo and

really likes it. He doesn't believe it would/should affect speaker volume.

I've dug all through 'Settings' and can't find anything relating to speaker

volume.

I know I typed a lot, hope it's helpful.

I look forward to any tips you may have. Hopefully can solve this without

going to store.

(Please excuse typo's. Sent from my phone.)

Thanks!

I wondered about uninstalling the app as I was typing you, but chose to

wait to see what your reply would be, in case there was a Setting deep in

the phone I was not finding.

I will uninstall the app and 'test' the speaker volume over the next day or

so and get back with you.

Thanks!

Hello!

Sorry I didn't get back sooner. I'm not a high volume caller. I wiped the

app and sure enough, calls now maintain the speaker loudness setting I

choose. Yippee!

My old Droid Maxx HD had Smart Actions. That allowed me to set times for

phone to be quiet automatically....AND allow emergency contact phone calls

to still come through. This worked great last year when my Dad was very

sick and in the hospital....I could receive calls from Mom/Sister at

important times like at night or whenever phone was on silent.

Maybe this could be a future enhancement? Allow phone to silence

notifications, but allow emergency contacts calls (or texts, make it a

choice in Settings/Device/Sounds maybe) to come through. I have a Group in

Contacts set up this way...that is how this audio profiles app was supposed

to work.

Anyway, thank you *so *much for all your help....come to find out it was

just me.
