I upgraded my XV6800 to 6.1 using the official upgrade. It's giving me trouble answering calls. When a call comes in I see the notification but when I try to press the Green phone button or the left soft button labeled 'Answer' it doesn't do it! It's like the keys are slow or something. When I use the soft button is DOES flash the soft button label like it recognized the button press. But it does not answer the call! I've had this happen at least a dozen times now so I know it's not just me fumbling with the keys. 9 times of of 10 I can't answer a call!
I've tried hard resetting the device and the symptom persists. I've tried using it without the microSD card loaded. Still the same trouble.
Has anyone else seen this? Or can you recommend a solution?
so your saying it doesn't show "connected"?
I had something similar to what your describing but it would show as "connected" on my phone. I couldn't hear anything when I'd answer. I realized after several attempts it was that the phone was paired to my cars bluetooth... I was trying to dial my phone as I was walking away from my car but I was still within 30 ft of the car... so all speaker and microphone was still being redirected to the cars system. lol. Same can happen with a bluetooth headset where the conversation (speaker/mic) is redirected to the headset that may be in your pocket or on the kitchen counter. But it would at least show as "connected" on the phone.
I feel stupid/foolish for shareing that experience but figured just maybe its what your experiencing.
Thanks,
Ben
*edit: by the way... when I had the 6.1 vzw upgrade I had no problem placeing and receiving calls, with the exception of the "user error" I described above. You could always try rolling back to 6.0 and upgrade again. Did you install any other new software after the upgrade to 6.1?
I have been experiencing something similar. PPC 6800 (not Verizon) with 6.0. When phone is locked and call comes in, can’t answer with the button or with BT. 6800 keeps ringing long after caller goes to voice mail. The only way to escape is soft reset. I’m running the original ROM & Radio that came with the 6800.

Nope, never shows connected. It's like the UI has gotten hung somewhere and isn't passing control over to the phone app.
No bluetooth pairings have ever been done to this phone, not before the upgrade and certainly none since. BT isn't even enabled.
Tim may be on to something regarding the lock situation. I've found the lock method a lot less friendly than before 6.1. Can't quite pin it down but it just doesn't seem to unlock properly. Again, it seems to be related to something making the phone 'slow'. On-screen keypresses in the Lock app don't seem to register with the same speed as before 6.1. I can tap a couple of them and not see anything on the screen, then they all run through (showing the screen buttons getting pressed).
My Xv6800 Verizon Does The Same Thing. I Push The Green Hard Button To Answer And It Takes Like 5 Seconds To Answer. It Seems To Happen More When I Have Programs Like Internet Explorer Up, But There Is Still Plenty Of Memory So I Cant See Why It Would Be So Slow. Its Just Frustrating Because Sometimes It Takes So Long The Call Goes To Voicemail And Nobody (fiancee Included) Believes Me! Any Help From Anyone?
fyi... i use an auto close program so when I close an application it really closes. I don't have the slow response or ability to not answer within 5 secs, etc. maybe it is a low memory issue you are experiencing. I don't lock my phone so that may be it too. Sorry I'm not much help here.

No, it's definitely not a low memory issue. It's doing this fresh after a reboot having had no other apps even started.
So here's my issue.
During a call if i recieve a SMS/MMS/Email, my earpiece volume drops dramatically and i can use the volume rocker and put it too full and it still doesn't get back to a decent level.
So i was wondering if anyone else has noticed this and is having this small problem, other than that i am completely happy with the phone so far , haven't touched my iPhone since i recieved the Nexus One Jan 7th
P.S. i have SMS Popup app installed and same problem, so i have tried removing the app and still no cure
I haven't tried this on SpeakerPhone or BT Headset
I can 2nd this bug.
Along side, if you were to use any touch tone to send DTMF tones while on the phone (say you're entering your credit card or something), it also goes down real low. This is definitely a bug.
C
ya ....argh!!...hopefully a firmware update fix
I have experienced the bug as well...but what is even more strange is that if I get another text message or email and it causes the phone to vibrate the in-call volume shoots up even louder than it was before. I think it may have something to do with dual microphone and background noise cancellation this phone has.
No problem for me?
Just thought I'd offer some more input, but I don't think my phone is experiencing this problem..? I am currently on the phone with T-Mo, and had to enter numbers via the number pad while in the call, and the volume didn't adjust (neither up or down) at all.
I'm glad I found this thread. I should have read through all of the posts in XDA before starting a brand new thread about this. Sorry guys! I even have this issue listed on google's help forum with some ppl indicating the same. The call volume decrease for me when a call comes in. I have to put the phone on speaker, then take it off speaker in order to get the volume back to where it was. I use to have the volume decrease during an active call when a email or text comes in, but a small work around was to set the ringtone and notifications to silent in settings and in text and emails. Does anyone know if this is a software or hardware issue? or if there will be an OTA update to fix? This phone is amazing otherwise...I know there isn't a TON of ppl reporting this, so I hope google doesnt forget about us. I received a replacement that did the same thing along with new bugs the original didn't have, so I sent it back.
I have it also. Just thought it was me!
@johnboywilson, do you think google will come out with an OTA update for this? This is technically my first android phone, so im not sure how often they come out with updates, or if they get to all the issues no matte how few ppl might be having them. I had WinMo before, and they were pretty good at getting to bugs, sometimes even if just a handful of ppl have them. I had a samsung behold II for 2 weeks. I've only been using android for a little over a month now.
next time this happens will someone try swapping to speaker phone then back to handset and see if it goes back to where it was. I've had a problem a couple times where I couldn't hear the caller, switched to speaker phone, heard them fine, switch back to handset and the volume was back to normal. I honestly dont remember if I had received a notification at the time or not but I'd be curious to know if it is the same thing.
@zjchaser, if you had seen my two previous posts, you would have seen that I use the speaker phone on then off method to correct the volume decreasing when a call, text or email comes in while on a call. This is just a work around and not a fix. I need to know if we will get an OTA update to correct???
@Mrplennium I`m sure they will. if you go onto google support pages you will see what questions people are asking and what faults other people are experiencing.
@zjchaser I have had that problem too. If im on a call and i switch between speaker phone and handset the sound goes off. If i then make a new call the sound is still off and i have to switch between speaker and handset to get it to come back on!
Still love the phone though..
@johnboywilson, I hope you are right. I am one of those ppl that started a thread on the google forum about this issue, and others have been reporting it. I was just fearful that this is one of those issues that's in the minority, so google might skip over it. I hope that's not the case. Other than that, this is by far the BEST phone i've ever owned. I have no other issues with it.
I use the wired headset mostly, but I can confirm this as well. It isn't just another call or SMS for me that causes it...anything that adds a notification (SMS, plugging in to USB, email...anything!). The volume either goes crazy up, or crazy down. It seems to alternate.
It went down the other day after an email during a call, so I had to put the rocker all the way up just so it would sound normal. Shortly thereafter, I got a text and lost my hearing for about 10 mins...the phone can get very loud.
Seriously, this needs to be fixed.
Yup, it happens through the wired headset as well. I think it's def a software issue. Hope you have google people patrolling this site and seeing these issues as well. The first OTA update is coming this week, but for the 3G issue. No one knows what other possible fixes might be included.
Even received a replacement that did the same thing. Not sure why some ppl have working devices, and others have these software glitches. I doubt i'll ever be an early adopter again.
WOW! ok, after 3 preliminary tests, I can conclude that the OTA update has resolved this issue!!!!! YEEPEEE!!!!!!!! Now the phone is PERFECT! I will keep monitoring the situation throughout the day to see if it stays that way, which I can't imagine why it wouldn't!!!THANK YOU GOOGLE!!!!
it didnt fix the problem when i did the update,still have low incall volume
If you have low incall volume - rise it, or flash a kernel with volume boost hack. This bug has been resolved months ago. You're talking about something else.
Hello all,
I purchased my HD2 on release day and so far I love it. For the most part the phone has been problem free and everything works perfectly. However recently I ran into a few issues.
1) When playing music with Windows Media player or the Music Player I will sometimes get odd skipping in songs. I looked at my screen and the microphone symbol at the top of the screen was blinking like crazy and I could hear a voice asking me to repeat commands again. I believe it was the voice dialing feature. One time it actually called someone. My phone started dialing out in the middle of a song and I had to pull the battery to make it stop calling people.
2) Text messaging.. The text messaging app has some serious bugs. Hopefully there is an update or a better solution out there. Some of the problems I have with texting are: Phone goes to a crawl when a text comes in, when typing texts it will just stop showing what I am typing. I have to click all around the window and sometimes can get it to come back up. If I cannot get my text to come back I have to close the app down and then go back in.
3) I am not sure if this is related to the sms app or not but I tried to edit a contact and the phone become incredibly unstable. It restarted itself and when sense loaded it popped up a message saying that swipe was not designed for my phone type. After that reboot my phone acted up a lot until I restarted it about 6 times. Then it was stable but the texting app was worse than ever.
I did a bunch of google searches and couldn't come up with any fixes for these issues. So any input would be welcome.
My phone is stock. I have no interest in flashing a new rom. I blame all these problems on sense (WinMo actually seems perfect despite what the uneducated spew across the net daily).
Thanks for reading
1) Sounds like you're simply activating the MSVC, which is done buy a long press off the send key (you're probably accidentally long pressing the 'play/send' button on the headphones.
Two solutions: 1) Simply disable MSVC (Settings>personal>Voice Command; Uncheck Enabled) 2) Be more careful so you don't accidentally press the button.
2)Just click the text input area (just above the keyboard where the text is suppose to be) and everything you typed will show up and continue to show up.
3) Never heard or seen this.
I don't know how much stuff/time you've put on/into this phone, but you might want to consider a hard reset.
Thank you for your response:
I was not using the headphones. I had it connected to my stereo in my Jeep. The HD2 was sitting alone on the seat next to me with nothing around it. It's done it several times now - so I don't think it was anything environmental.
Clicking in the text area used to work fine but not anymore. I have to click the last text message that came in and it will open a option menu, close that and then click in the open text area several times. This started happening once I tried to edit my contacts and my phone lost it's mind.
I don't want to do a hard reset but it might have to come to that. I have all the apps I like installed and everything seems to be working nicely with those few exceptions.
Ohh and one last complaint. Slacker >< why does it stop playing songs so much? I read other people were having problems with that too but I cannot seem to find any fix. Should I just give up on it and go to Pandora?
Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding the Legend's vibrator.
First of all, I would like it to vibrate when receiving a SMS only when in vibration mode. So far, all I can find in the settings is the option to either vibrate or not, no matter what profile is used. Am I missing something, or do I need an app that has further settings?
Second, I think the vibrator is a bit loud, and would love to be able to set the intensity. The first day after I bought my Legend, I was in a meeting with just two other people in a small office, and when my phone rang (vibrated) it attracted quite some attention because it was so loud. Again, am I missing where to change this, or do I need an app?
I tried searching the Market for an app to control vibration settings to address both or even just one of these issues, but didn't find anything useful. The closest was Smart Vibrator, which lets me compose vibration patterns for SMS as well as calls, which could solve issue #2 by doing a pattern of very brief vibrations - but it's still not exactly what I am looking for. Have anyone come across something more useful?

How are others finding the vibrate function? Good? Bad? Weak? Strong?
Coming from a Palm Pre, one of the frustrating aspects was a weak vibrator; causing me to miss notifications of calls, txts, emails, etc.
at some point of the day i noticed my notification sound no longer working.
I got all the msgs on my notification but with out sound.
turning off and on didnt fix. only the battery pull worked.
it happened like every once a day. some times I have to do battery pull twice a day.
I had this phone for a wk now.
anyone having notification sound issue?
even the turn off screen and on sound muted.
There's a few bugs, nougat is brand new, they'll fix things. My headphone kept buzzing one time until a restart
Its not just you. And I don't think its exactly something to do with Android 7.0
If you look at how your audio menu is when you change the ringer volume, you'll see that when the phone is set to vibrate, it actually MUTES the other two sliders.. it doesn't set them to vibrate. With that in mind, it seems more likely LG has a bug, than Android 7.0 having a bug.
Having this problem as well with my H910 (AT&T). It's very frustrating indeed. What's even worse is that it seems sporadic in nature, sometimes I will get a notification chime, sometimes I won't. As skyedream said, a battery pull is the only way to get consistent notification sounds, if only temporarily.
I think I get this too. Often I pull my phone out of pocket to find I had a text that I never heard.
Sent from my LG-H918 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I had this problem too yesterday where it was just frozen. Did a restart and all seemed ok after. First time that happened.
This happens to me as well. Also, I will get double notification sounds at times. Like an echo. Or, a different sound mixed with my selected sound. A reboot fixes. Have to do it a couple times a day. Very annoying.
No sound for notifications + no web video playback
I also have same issue with notifications. No pattern on what causes this, but a reboot gets rid of this (just for sometime! and the problem is back). I have also noticed apps not working smoothly and unable to play web videos including from Youtube app and Facebook App. Overall, tad disappointed with the software quality on this set.
Phone notification vibrate shuts off all other notification sounds

Good call, thanks! I also notice that even though I have Sound Settings-Volume-Touch & Feedback sounds Off, I still get haptic feedback vibration on keyboard while typing this reply to you. It goes away when I go into Sound Settings-Vibration Strength, & turn slider off for Vibrate on tap. The Settings software isn't connecting the overall Volume Profile with the Vibrate Strength settings it seems. I don't know enough to know whether this is Android or LG. Under Vibrate Strength you can control notifications too, though haven't yet tested. Hope this helps til it gets fixed.

I just tested texting...even though on quick settings slider notifications for text are grayed out, while call setting show vibrate only, in the full settings menu, under Vibrate Strength, you can slide the vibration strength up...I did this, sent myself a text, and phone vibrated the notification. I think it's messed up that I can't shut my call notification off completely, including nvibrate quickly with volume key or quick settings. Have to go into full settings menu sound & select silent. Please fix this Android/LG.

Ya, I have the exact same problem... (I have a H990DS)
I can't seem to even fix it with a reboot.
I have emailed LG about the problem - we'll see what they say...

I experience the same as you. I usually clear regents and then hit restart and all my notification sounds come back and videos. I'm just wondering, are you using any type of ad blocker? I use the ad block browser and I've noticed that whenever I open my browser, that's when my notifications get muted.
Issue resolved after update
Hi, looks like this issue is resolved with the update I got in January 2017 end. But not sure what caused it to fail in first place. But as of now, all is well after the update. Cheers!
I still have this problem over here on T-Mobile. Very annoying.
Anyone ever find a fix? Having these issues on a new LG V20 US Unlocked connected to Verizon.
Bumping this to see if anyone has found a solution to this. My V10 started muting notifications when the ringer volume was set to vibrate on one of its later updates. I figured it was a glitch in my phone since I didn't see anyone else complaining about it. This was one of the reasons i decided to upgrade to a V20. I was pretty surprised that it did the exact same thing and it's apparently by design. Who in their right mind would think this was a good idea?
I'm not sure of the cause, but I had many calendar reminder alarms fail to sound over several days when I got this V20. I tried different calendar apps and ended up with one called aCalendar. It works OK most of the time, but there is still a serious issue. If ANY other kind of notification happens to sound right when a calendar alarm needs to sound, the calendar will NEVER sound its reminder notification for the alarm. I've had this happen several times with incoming text or social networking message notifications. I hear those, and then the subsequent alarm that should have sounded concurrently is silent. I've had to set 2 reminders for the same important event, spaced 10 minutes apart, to try to reduce the odds of this issue hijacking an important notification. I've not seen this exact problem ever before on any Android device. My US Unlocked V20 is 100% stock. No idea what to do about it. But from what I can glean online, neither LG nor Verizon plan to push any future updates on the V20, so we're stuck.
For contact selecting unique notification tones that actually stopped working
I got this LG v20 and I loved it...still do....but... how do I keep certain text notification tones thst i select to not change back to default?...on its own? Crazy. I use zedge ap to download ringtones n notification tones. Maybe there is an issue there?
@Dkb123,
If you could please add some punctuation to your post, it might be easier to read so someone can understand your problem and help you .
I am using a rooted HTC One m10 with Viper ROM and am having the same problem. Echos notification noises, turns off alarm and notification sounds, and it is beyond annoying. I have already had to reset it twice to try to fix it and nothing has worked. I have no idea what is causing it but when I try to open my alarm app it says it was disabled and could have been caused by a system time change (which didnt happen) or battery saving (where I have it whitelisted). I will try disabling my ad-blocker. I'm not sure how those things could be connected but since it was suggested I will give it a go. I am consulting all of the developers I know about this but so far nobody has an answer. I am kind of starting to freak out because I need my phone to work. I have 3 kids under the age of 6 in school and need to know when someone has to get in touch with me. Before the last reset, I also saw that when my notification was disabled and I went back in to reenable it, it had been switched back to the sound I had selected the time before that. One more note. When I go in to check my notification noises, all of them, my ringer, notifications, and alarm, are all blank for about one half second before they repopulate and then show the correct tones. If it were as simple as it being my ROM someone would have posted it on the thread because it is a pretty big problem to have gone unnoticed. Is it possible we are all running an app or have a shared setting that is causing this to happen to only us. I had to dig pretty hard to find this thread in the first place. It might help if we posted a list of our apps, what do you guys think?

Hi. You posted this in the wrong area. This is for the LG V20. Try searching the HTC One M10 area for a solution. Someone there might be able to help you.
