Volume Unresponsive on Volla Phone
-
This has been partially discussed in a previous topic: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5804/ringing-volume-and-other-issues/2 However, I feel that the issue isn't properly resolved.
The volume buttons on the Volla seem completely ineffective. The volume bar on the screen goes up and down, but there is no change to the volume of the system (although since OTA 18 having the volume on 0% does mute the phone, so there's some improvement there).
In the aforementioned topic thread, uVolMan was brought up as a solution, and it works sometimes, but it is a very clunky solution which is a pain to have to adjust on the fly. It is incredibly frustrating to have to switch apps and unlock a slider in order to change the volume when there are volume buttons that the system can clearly recognise (hence why there is a visual acknowledgement of them on the screen but not an audible one).
In the short time I have had the phone this has been an issue when it was running OTA 16, 17 and 18, it doesn't seem to be being fixed.
Worse still, since installing OTA 18 the volume issue has started to affect calls too. It used to be the case where speaker phone was unusually quiet, but the standard call volume was okay. Now there is an issue where I cannot hear anything during a call, the person on the other end of the call can hear me, but I hear nothing. Even adjusting settings in uVolMan seem ineffective in this scenario.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how to properly fix this issue?
I've had to put my SIM in my old phone now as a phone without the ability to have a phone call is no phone at all....

Reinstalling the system seems to have fixed the issue for now.
