Random volume changes both all the way down and all the way up w/headphones

The only time this has happened to me is with a certain set of headphones. This particular set covers the ears, but is lightweight and sounds good, yet will allow sound from around me to get through. So I really wanted to use this set for my phone.
It may be that the heaphone plug is a micron out of size, an impedence mismatch (the speakers and the device internals are a poor match electrically), or something else I haven't thought of.

The headphones that do this work great in other things I plug them into, but when plugged into a phone the volume goes bananas just as you describe. I have seen Google Assistant turn on, the music app quit and start, or change songs, and other annoying things.

It seems that when I wiggle the jack is when it occurs most often, although it also happens just by bending the cord near the end sometimes. Sometimes I don't know what sets it off.

It only happens with one headphone set, and that set has a three section plug- two plastic bands dividing up the metal segments of the plug.

I have other sets of headphones that work just fine in the same phone.
Some have three section plugs, others have two section plugs.

The extra segment on the three segment plugs is for a microphone.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, as I have another set with the same set-up that works fine.

My guess is that the end of the cord is worn, probably internally so that it is not visable damage, and this is causing either a temporary short circuit or a temporary break in the connection. This can cause all sorts of things on a device like a phone.

If it is happening with a cheap set of headphones, try a better quality set. ($10-$20 USD)
If it is happening with a high quality set of headphones, then try a cheap set. ($5-$10 USD)

If both are doing it, then possibly the jack on the device is misaligned internally.

Help X on top left of screen

First I would try tapping the 'X' to see what happens.

If nothing, then I would pull down the notifications by swiping from the top of the screen downwards.

All notifications should appear, and when you tap then slide one a bit to the right a settings pinwheel should pop up.

This will take you to the notification settings for the app.

If nonet of your notifications relate to this icon, then go into your developers options.

Check the running apps, and stop each one until the icon disappears.

Don't have Developers Options in your settings?

Open settings, scroll down to About Phone
Tap the Build Number 7 times.

Now when you open Settings, down near the bottom you should see Developers Options.

Help Battery virus

I've been getting a pop-up saying my battery has a virus , when online.
Is this a real thing , or is it a scary tatic to download the app that is in the battery has a virus pop-up.
HELP PLEASE ???

It is poop.
There are many of these crappy ads out there, some even claim to be right from Google.

WARNING! YOUR DEVICE IS 28.4% INVECTED BY 4 VIRUSES!
If you do not act within 4 minutes, your device will be locked after 24 hours.
Click 'OK' below to remove viruses now.
[ OK ] 3:59

I have seen this one hundreds of times.
If you click OK, it invariably takes you to some BS app in the PlayStore.

This is how your phone gets a disease, and how users get frustrated.
It is also how these devs get clicks and downloads.

Any app that these ads lead to is junk at best, and spyware at worst.

I use to make a point of leaving bad reviews and reporting the apps to Google- but it seems that they don't care or are part of the scam too.

Thom Browne edition anyone else?

For those that asked, the watch is 40mm stainless steel. Overall I think it's a great bargain compared with their clothing line.

Sad to say I will be returning the phone. As much I tried to like it didn't feel balanced and it was to narrow to my liking. I didn't want to bother with selling it on ebay but I will miss the bud plus they are amazing. Once i get my refund I will be upgrading my buds to their plus. The active watch 2 face is larger than the active watch but not paying 100 plus for the upgrade. Now if it was ceramic I may uograde

Looking forward to the fold 2 but in the mean time I'm back with the s10 plus the perfect phone for me for now.

[FREE][APP] Tappy - Promote Your Social Media Accounts

Hello everyone!
I've recently released an app that helps you to promote your social media account in a fun way for free. You basically have to gain points in order to appear in a daily rank, where other people can visit the profile that you want to promote. It can be Instagram, TikTok, Youtube and Twitter. You will also gain points by checking the other accounts!

It is still in a initial phase, so there is not so much traffic yet, but I hope you'd like to try it anyway to give me your feedback :)
