Z5 compact Volume turns itself up when on vibrate

Lins81 — Mon, 12 Dec 2016 11:22:28 GMT

I have my phone on silent/vibrate quite a lot when I'm at work but I do still use it. However, sometimes the sound turns itself up a notch which isn't ideal as when I receive messages etc I get the message tone as well. Is this a problem with my phone or is it something to do with me using it whilst it's on vibrate ( although I'm pretty sure it should be ok to use??). I am using a Z5 compact.

Thanks

@Lins81

Let me see if I understood, are you saying that the notification/ringtone volume turn itself up/on even if you have set the phone on vibrate mode?

Are you referring to Media(Music) volume while on vibrate mode and receiving notifications?

This is the problem. It doesn't happen all the time but if I lock and unlock my phone a few times it tends to happen.

thanks

@Lins81 try running your phone in Safe Mode for a while, this will rule out a 3rd party app possibly auto adjusting your volume

I experience a similar problem as well. When I set the media Volume down, after a while it jumps back to where it was before. I will try to gather more information about when this takes place.
