iPhone ringer volume keeps turning down

Shutting off the change with buttons feature seems to have fixed it. It still flashes the volume decrease but further inspection showed it is now the Bluetooth volume. When I turned of the device, all of my volume settings immediately went back to max and I can still adjust ringer volume with the buttons. Do they not test the software before releasing? I feel like I am dealing with an old Microsoft product.

So much for that. Connected to my aviation devices this morning and nearly missed a fire page this afternoon because I couldn’t hear the ringer. It would have been a bad one to miss since I was the only firefighter on scene for about 30 minutes.

I’m having same problem. It’s concerning to me because the dates for many of these posts is 2019. It’s 2020 and Apple hasn’t found a fix for this. I’m not getting texts in a timely manner. I don’t hear my phone ring. This is a big problem, especially if you rely on your phone for work and you are on an “on call”’status. Apple when will this be fixed??

With iOS 14 rolling out soon hopefully a fix! I love Apple but this is annoying as heck. I have been wearing out My gmc dealer. He says it’s an Apple issue and I tell him it’s an GM issue because when I connect to Bluetooth in my vehicle the volume automatically lowers ( and stays lowered) and I expect my phone to work seamlessly with GM software! GM needs to put pressure on Apple! As well as other vehicle manufacturers!

For me it has nothing to do with my car technology. On any normal day at home In between one text and the next or one phone call to the next, I have to up my volume and side buttons and it always goes back to no volume. When is IOS 4 coming out?

beta is out but I am waiting for kinks to be worked out; you can bet a new set of problems will come with iOS 14

How To Download iOS 14 Beta

 June 23, 2020  iOS 14 Beta  2 Comments

Apple’s new iOS 14 mobile operating system (review) is already available for installation as a test version of iOS 14 beta download. You must understand that despite the 

So I disconnected my Bluetooth from my truck five days ago and the ringer has not gone down...so I do think it is a Bluetooth / Apple CarPlay combo issue. I drive a GM as well but a Ford guy commented and said he was having the same problem so I think it’s something to do with Bluetooth and vehicles.

It has nothing to do with anyone’s car or CarPlay app. I don’t use either. I have 4 Bluetooth devices I connect to and my ringer volume reduces when I connect to any of them. Two are Bose aviation headsets, one is a Lightspeed aviation headset and one is a Garmin GDL antenna. The antenna does not provide audio of any kind. All it does through Bluetooth is give aviation weather and traffic information to display on my phone.

I contacted support and they acted like it was a new problem. The chat was dropped on the first attempt. One the second attempt they had me reset (turn off) the phone so they could see what happens on the reboot which ended that chat. I haven’t been able to reconnect with them since. EVERYONE who thinks this is a problem needs to connect with Apple support and let them know it needs to be fixed. 2 or 3 people contacting support won’t get anything accomplished even if they have a million complaining about it here.

Trust me, they already know about it, and know it’s a problem. They’ve known about it for months. It’s Apple...they won’t ever publicly acknowledge anything, they will just quietly fix it someday. Just like every other problem Apple has ever had. If you call, they’re gonna go through everything to do that’s already been discussed in this forum. Then have you wipe out everything on your phone and reset it. And then say they’ve never heard about it before, even though they probably get hundreds of phone calls a day about it. And then most people will do what I and everyone else has always done...go buy a new iPhone to fix the problem. It’s the same old story from Apple...after 2 years they pretty much make you buy a new phone. 🤷🏻

That makes the fix painfully obvious. People need to be smart enough to quit supporting a company that treats it’s customers like that. If things don’t improve with Apple then my next phone will not be an Apple. My phone prior to this was an Android. I have an Android tablet that I use. Neither gave/give me trouble so it isn’t a problem going back. IOS App developers should apply pressure too.

I’ve given up. Not just on this, but on so many problems with all Apple software. The decline in quality is gathering pace and its only a matter of time until Apple enters a death spiral. I don’t want to look at alternative products, but I’m not going to have a choice for much longer.

Doesn’t work for me. I have pretty much messed with every available setting without improvement to the problem. Apple simply needs to undo whatever it was they did in the update that started it all. Problem solved for everyone that easily.

I don’t believe it has anything to do Bluetooth at all. My volume adjusts itself even when I’m not on Bluetooth??? There have been posts on this since Dec of 2019. They can act like it’s a new problem but I think it’s safe to say they know and are pretending they don’t know.

Same here & none of the questions asked by Apple make a difference-just randomly turns my volume down & not knowing this I miss calls & texts constantly. You’d think for cost of phones they could fix this. Think I’m going to trade mine in or sell & get Samsung S20 or newest Note. Never hear of problems w/their phones!

Mine is Bluetooth related for sure. Anytime I connect to a Bluetooth device the volume display on my phone opens and is set to a lower volume as if I am pushing the buttons. Then it stays there until I manually reset it to full... usually after I have missed a call or text. Since I am a volunteer firefighter and we get our emergency pages through automated calls and text messaging, I am greatly concerned about this issue. Most other calls I get can wait until I notice them but not the emergency pages.

The only “random” problem I have with volume is when I don’t pay attention to how I place the phone in the holder. Sometimes I get it clamped against the buttons.
