I've got Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus mobile and it's driving me crazy! The ring volume is so low, I can't get any calls as I can't hear the ring tone. I've gone through all the settings that have to do with the ring volume to no avail. If I restart the phone, it comes good for a few hours and then falls back to it's old habits. Essentially it seems to have three different ring volume settings it applies of it's own accord, without me doing anything. After having been powered on for a few hours and put in a horizontal position (on a flat surface) the ring volume is medium high. If then raised to a vertical position, the ring volume is very low, if then restarted and called again the ring volume is very high. After a few minutes or hours, it defaults to the low volume. Here is a youtube video showing the issue i.e. first I laid it horizontally on a flat surface and called it, then I raised it to a vertical position and called it, then I restarted it in the vertical position and called it.
It has the latest firmware i.e. QP1A.190711.020.G965FXXU9ETF5.. I have also noted that when it's ringing in a horizontal position, the ring volume is medium and when I pick it up the ring volume goes low. I have found that some other phones have this feature in their settings (Quiet on pickup), but I can't find this setting on this phone. Any theories as to why this occurs are welcome..
