Re: Post-update, Revvl 5g plays ads at max volume when sound is off
I don't want to jinx it, but after thorough testing I believe the problem is fixed. About 2 weeks ago I received the Android 11 update for my phone. The problem went away immediately and has not re-surfaced since. I can use my phone in any environment (again) without having to worry about blaring ads.6Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Post-update, Revvl 5g plays ads at max volume when sound is off
No, it is not specific to one app. I have a number of short "time waster" games installed that I might play for 10-15 minutes at a time while waiting for something. Those games are made by different software firms / programmers, so there is no common denominator I can see. Each of these games throws in the random ad once in a while. Whenever this ad is a unity ad (I assume made with unity), there is a huge chance that the audio starts blaring out of the phone speakers, although every sound source is turned off. This does not happen with an older phone and this did not happen when I had just bought the REVVL 5g. I have been correlating this to the firmware update, because the problem occurred first right after that update. It would be nice to know if there is another update in the making that might fix the problem.4Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Post-update, Revvl 5g plays ads at max volume when sound is off
Thanks for the reply! Yes, I have tried everything. The volume within the app is set to zero or muted, depending on the app. The volume settings for media are at zero. I have tried setting every single volume (incl ring tone, etc.) to zero, no effect. The funny thing is that also volume settings within the ad don't do anything (some ads have an optional mute "button"). As soon as certain ads play, they override every conceivable volume setting and play at maximum volume. As mentioned in my previous post, this has so far only happened with unity ads. I have never had this problem with any phone and it is highly irritating.6Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Post-update, Revvl 5g plays ads at max volume when sound is off
I have exactly the same problem. It appears that the only misbehaving ads are unity ads. Those will between 50 to 80% of the time play at maximum volume, regardless of any volume settings of the phone. This happened after a system update. Current version is 6B92UM20. This is super annoying. If an ad pops up in a quiet environment, you can be sure that every head will turn your direction… Is there anybody else with the same issues?4Visto0likes0Comentarios
