Why does the volume go up...

SirMG — Mon, 21 Apr 2014 10:20:47 GMT

Would be really intresting to know why this happens...

When I listen to the radio with an headset and I get some kind of notification on the phone, then the radio-volume goes up and stays high until i touch the volume control, then it goes back to the volume I had...

Getting tired of all the stuff that happens with this phone, starting to think it's time to change brand next time.

@SirMG.... can u go to settings > Sound > Sound effects > and uncheck the "ClearAudio+" and the "Dynamic normalizer"

and see if the problem occurs again or not. Waiting for your reply.

Sounds like a software bug - maybe Sony should set up a scheme to offer small rewards to users who can find bugs in Sony's software?

I didn't have those checked...

My guess it's software issue with the last update, the notification signals don't "end" the change in volume for them...

From my experience they don't seem to be intrested in such things (as all other companys), they just want our cash and then they loose intrest in us...

But agree, think it's a software bug from the last update...can't recall this happened before that update...
