[android] Google Pixel - Low Volume

[Joanne]

I've had the Pixel for 5 days and I've noticed that the volume is very quiet compared to the HTC One M9. In the car I have to have the phone AND the car stereo at full blast for any sort of volume, which I think is wrong. I'm using the same 3.5 mm jack lead as with the M9 and that was perfectly fine. It's quiet with my bluetooth speaker too. With the M9 half volume was about right for it, but this is quiet at full volume... gah!

 

I've also missed calls because the damn thing is so quiet.

 

Anyone else having this issue? It's on Android 7.1.2.

 

Considering taking it back, because music is a big part of why I have a phone.

Have you tried a factory reset?

It's brand new. 6 days old! Surely this will not make a difference?

Stuff like this really grinds my gears! To Apple's credit they have plenty of working models to play with in their stores so you can test things like this before you buy!!

 

I really hated the weak vibrate motor and quiet speaker on the iPhone 5 and they fixed it on the iPhone 6. Stuff like this matters. Better in my opinion the have a phone which vibrates itself off the table than have a weak vibrate. At least you can add a soft case to muffle the vibrate if it is too strong.
