I hope it’s okay to ask for support here. I have a 2022 Motorola 5G phone, and it keeps turning down the volume on its own by exactly four notches. Is it possible this is some kind of setting somewhere? Maybe I have accidentally turned this on, and it’s trying to protect my hearing or something?
I’m pretty sure you’ve assumed right. A lot of builds of Android 12 will warn you if you’re over a safe limit, but it’s very possible that Motorola (who keep things pretty close to stock Android) probably have something that’s knocking it down back to a ‘safe’ level after some bit of inactivity.
You may have a setting to disable it in the developer menu, usually accessed by tapping the build number in the “About” section of the settings menu a couple dozen times until it says “you are now a developer!” - and then checking there. Anything beyond that is gonna require root/rom or other trickery.
Look for an option in there called “disable absolute volume”
Thanks, I’ll try that!
Thanks, I’ll poke around in the dev options.
Do you have Dolby Atmos enabled? Apparently that can mess with the volume on Moto phones.
I do have it enabled. Thanks, I’ll play around with that.
Fairly sure I had this issue as well (same model) but sad to say I couldn’t find a fix for it. I think it’s a built-in safety feature so the volume isn’t maxed out when you have earbuds in. Best I could do is setup Tasker to max out the volume when connecting to certain devices (just for my car).
