In audiorouting disable "during a call" function, if you have it on. This function messe up my phone sadly. They will fix it, but well, takes some time. Update to the latest comultative update, was released yesterday. If nothing works,take it back. Or jump on ms's throat. They will have to give you some answers, helping you with something. This can also be a firmware error. Do you remember when it first happened, what you did before, installed?

    Ok so my 950XL is freaking out. Music doesn't play if I close groove and open it again, if music is playing and the screen is locked, I can't adjust the volume without unlocking the device or waking it. The loud speaker activates on its own even tho the audio routing is turned off in both whatsapp calls and normal call app. I reinstalled the software using recovery tool but after about two days it starts again. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

          The specifications on this state that it's operating system is Microsoft Windows 10, or is it the watered down & restrictive Windows 10 Mobile? It would be a great system if it was capable of running the unrestricted full version of Microsoft Windows 10 Professional.

            vijay pandey, 01 Oct 2016may I know about automatic call recording,camera button & single sim option in lumia 950xl.As far as I know calls are recorded manually, it is very easy to record, because it among the menus when you are making or receiving a call. I guess that way you do not have to record calls not worth recording, thereby minimising the use of your storage.
            The dedicated camera button launches the camera, even when the phone is locked (though you will have to enable it to launch when locked in the settings). If you press the button half way it will stabilise and focus the image. Pressing down and holding the button take images in panorama mode.
            The download speed for single SIM is 300MB/s while the dual SIM is 150MB/s

                    In my opinion it might not resolve it. I am thinking it is a hardware problem, did the device receive a hard blow, fall, etc. This could lead to hardware issues, which can make it malfunction.

                            Hey guys, I am seriously interested in buying this phone, but I want to known how the os runs. If its buggy or smooth, does the phone overheat, that kind of stuff. I currently have a lumia 1320 running wp10 as a backup phone, but it is very buggy and overheats alot. Hope that's not the case with the 950xl

                                Ever since I received this device I have had no trouble with it what so ever. Now I'm trying to find out if anyone else has come across this problem that just popped up outta nowhere like an rko. When I go to make a phone call the on speaker button highlights on it's own and doesn't turn off. Any out going call made after this happens can't go thru since the on speaker button is highlighted and u don't hear anything. Has this happened to anyone else? Ans if so, other than for restarting the phone, is there any other solution?

                                        Have you updated your device, cos a far as I can tell, the OS is perfect and sweet now.
                                        Also I guess you're using Lumia 950xl, cos most people use other low end Lumia devices and they come here and review rubbish based on the model they are using.
                                        Some often argue all Lumias are the same, just as note 7 is not the same with s7, so it is with Lumia. Updates for various lumia models varies, so is the performance as well. e.g L550 is yet to get double tap, larger screen displays can get a fourth column of live tiles, etc.
