        @totalsonic Oh God I hope not. I might have to consider trying to flash VollaOS to the phone to see if it has the same issue. I'd rather not have to if it can be avoided though.

          @domubpkm Sure, I've made a thread about it now where I go into more specifics:

            @adlinux Yes. First, i advise you again to reflash your phone using the ubports installer. Only DON'T CHECK 'wipe user data'. it will cost you less than 500 mb and you will start with a clean installation.
            This is a basic check if any malfunction should follow from one installation to another. This method has often helped me.

              @domubpkm I'll either be trying this or trying Volla OS when I have time to see if it's the phone or the OS. Thanks for the help 🙂

                @adlinux Less than 20 min for UT if you have a good Internet. Could be not so easy for Volla OS.

                  @domubpkm Re-flashed UT, unfortunately despite unchecking the 'wipe user data' box, it went ahead and wiped my data anyway.

                  However, the volume issue seems to be fixed. How strange, I wonder what had caused it in the first place. I am still considering giving Volla OS a go though, just to try both options (I'm not too much of a fan of Sailfish OS, so I doubt I'll be putting that on the phone lol).

                    @adlinux To not loose your data you have to also uncheck "bootstrap partition”.

                    Anyway, it's good that you could fix your volume issue.

                      Are you sure it is always the case ?

                      If it was always the case, the box ''bootstrap partition'' should automatically be unchecked when unchecking ''wipe user data'' I think, not manually.

                      I didn't uncheck ''bootstrap partition'' and i didn't loosed my data with my Volla.

                        @domubpkm I'm not sure, but a few time ago I did reinstall UT on Vollaphone and let bootstrap partition checked and wipe data unchecked. All data were gone...

                          @stanwood Yes. When to check or uncheck which boxes, this needs to be clarified. But if a choice in one box must be compulsatory linked to an option in another box, this must be automated i think again.
