[Samsung Gear S3] slimsta:
This may have been covered before, but i can't seem to find anything on it, so please forgive my ignorance if it has.

I have a S3 Gear Frontier, i have the stock email app on my watch, and use the same stock email with 4 different accounts set up on my phone and as my email hits my phone (S6 Edge) it hits my watch (Great!)

What i want to do is check the email via watch (without taking my phone out of my pocket) read it and delete it, But, go into my phone at a later stage and either reply, or move it to a desired set up folder, or delete if not required.

Can i do this? Is there an option to be able to delete it from watch and not from phone? Or am i missing something in settings on phone / watch?

Really appreciate any info on this one, thanks in advance

Wow 32 Views and no-one can advise?
[Samsung Gear S3] jomaga:
I use aquamail as my main mail app and I can view all the emails, dismiss notifications and erase mails from the watch
[Samsung Gear S3] slimsta:
Thanks for getting back, if you delete from aquamail does it still leave your email on the phone? Or does it delete on the phone aswell?
[Samsung Gear S3] jomaga:
Mails are deleted on the phone as well, and marked as read on aquamail when I open them on the phone
[Samsung Gear S3] dersie:
I use Aquamail. On Gear we have juste notification and notification action for each mail : Read, delete... You can not check (or view) your mail from the watch, just incoming notification.

With Samsung mail app we can view all the phone mail with the watch mail app.
[Samsung Gear S3] jomaga:
I check and view all my incoming mail from my watch. I can read the full email, dismiss notification or delete the message. Of course I can't access old mail, only the incoming messages
[Samsung Gear S3] dersie:
Yes ;) just notification (like all other smartwatch) , no check mail in the mailbox like samsung mail app. And only few lines of the mail, not complete mail and often not enough to see what about mail.

Does anybody else notice when watching videos, particularly, with people talking, that the bottom speaker rattles and distorts at higher volumes >50%?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] JeffBea:
I filed a RMA replacement for this very reason. My new device is shipped out today.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Budwise:
I have it too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xbox_clive:
Do you think they'll do some kind of update like lower the overall volume to mask this? I've looked on reddit and a lot of other people are having the same issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Budwise:
I decided after posting here that it was bad enough that I would roll the dice on an RMA replacement as well. Anything above around 50% just sounds like crap and the entire glass surface kinda buzzes in your hand. I don't see that being fixed in software...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xbox_clive:
Let me know how your RMA device ends up. I was thinking that this could be due to the fact that the bottom speaker is louder than the top and that making them even would alleviate the problem?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zmargoli:
Exact same issue. Also hope to hear how goes from those that RMA. I too notice it most with voices like the Google Assistant vs wider soudscape in music or video.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] benhaube1:
My speakers have very minor distortion on the highest volume, but any lower and there's none. Honestly the highest volume is much too loud for me anyway. These are the loudest speakers I've ever heard on a phone. They're just about as loud as my laptop.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
No point in doing a RMA for this "issue" the volume is too high for the speakers. That or it's unbalanced, It's especially prevalent when you're making a call via speaker phone and ALL the volume is going through the bottom speaker. Both my friends units have it, I've been to three different Verizon stores and they all have it and same with the Best Buy units. Google will most likely lower the overall volume or correct the balance in a software update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jeffreysleong:
Shake, Rattle, and Roll.

I had the same complaint. RMA unit (that was brand new) also had the rattling. Annoying. Every tech I chat with has not heard of this problem but it is covered in the Pixel product forums and here. I'm RMA'ing this one as well for the hellofit .. and because I just love re-setting up the phone and my watch... etc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Honestly you're probably just wasting your time and frustrating yourself. Out of all the units I've seen around 8~ both pure black and panda they all had the rattle especially on speakerphone calls because all the volume is coming only from the bottom. It's probably just cheap ass LG speakers that cannot handle the volume that Google has set. I'm assuming they will push a software update to make speakerphone calls on both speakers and lower the overall volume.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jeffreysleong:
Actually, the rattling on my devices was out of the top speaker... One of the speakers was tuned louder than the other. Can't remember which one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hugebulge:
I got a rma. Same problem.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jedil1c1ous:
This speaker issue is probably the final issue that will make me return this phone. The rattle is really annoying. The other big issue is color accuracy. Natural and Boosted are not sRGB and too muted. Saturated mode is like cartoon land and browns appear as orange.

These issues would be far less magnified if this phone costed $200 less. But at this price, it's just not worth it for me. Feels like too many compromises.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] onishchuk4:
Yeah noticed the rattle too on the bottom speaker. It's very noticeable at the 75% or above. I don't remember my original device having this so I'm not sure if it was just quieter as this one does seem noticeably loud.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Edward_Bixler:
I spoke with Google about this issue today and they stated the upcoming November update should fix it. I HIGHLY doubt it's a software issue, but I figured I would give it a chance. I still expect to have to RMA this thing after receiving the update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jozo100cheer:
This is a hardware fault in my opinion if you so lightly touch the speaker mesh it moves around, and it doesn't seem very firm to me. Not to mention the dust issue, I had my phone for a day or so and already I can see the dust build up around the speaker mesh (I'm very clean I don't just put my phone in any place). Too much room around the speaker mesh is probably an issue for long-term
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] whezzel:
I have this issue with my pixel 2 xl. I rma'd it and got another brand new replacement. The replacement device has the same issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mkouk:
The Nexus 6p had the same issue when it was released, Google then pushed an update and or was all fixed. Getting in this RMA vicious is not going to solve it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Krusej23:
I have this also but I thought somebody on YouTube said that Google turned the top speaker down for this reason but maybe they didn't turn it down enough.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Yeah, I think it's just the quality of the speaker that cannot handle the initial vision Google had for it. I'm sure with further software tweaks it should be okay. I've seen more XL's in different Verizon stores and it all sounds the same.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] whezzel:
I'm on my 4th pixel 2 xl from Google support. The rattle is almost gone on this most recent phone. I asked about a refund and they said they want to replace it one more time. I will probably wait a couple weeks before getting another replacement. Hopefully Google can work out the speaker issues before then
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Unless they do a hardware revision I highly doubt that will happen. They probably just want to get you out of your 15 day window.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] whezzel:
I'm well past the initial 15 days. Since it's a manufacturer defect it's covered under warranty. I will continue to replace the phone until I get one that isn't affected.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pilotgav:
This is definitely an issue that Google has to own up to. Is there a way we as a community can make this issue more front-and-center outside of XDA? I'm not trying to sound like an activist LOL I just would hate to see Google sweep this under the rug.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xthejuicex:
Issue caused by apps?

Hey all. I have experienced this distortion/lower audio sound/blown speaker issue as well and I think I fixed it.

Day 2 into ownership I was listening to the iHeartRadio app in the shower and the sound seemed to start getting quieter on its own. I thought it was just me so i turned up the volume and heard the distortion/blown speaker audio. Obviously I was pissed and initiated a chat with Google support to get a RMA. The person I talked to walked though the canned responses and suggested I do a Factory Reset. I was planning on "resetting it" but he said that sometimes this fixed the issue. I figured f-- it why not. So I reset the phone, did the data transfer, started up some music and the audio issue was fixed :confused:. I spent many hours listening to music and iHeartRadio to see if this issue would come back and it seemed to be fully fixed.

Fast forward two days and I am listening to iHeartRadio in the shower again and the sounds starts getting quiet again :mad:. I attempt to contain my rage and reboot the phone, reboot in safe mode, try different apps, and this distortion/blown speaker issue will not go away. I get to work and get an idea to just uninstall the iHeartRadio app. I uninstall this app, reboot the phone, and open up the Google Music app and the sound quality is back to normal :confused:. I blast some youtube music and the distortion is gone.

So either this issue is caused by an app messing with the speaker settings or the speaker got wet in the shower and dried out at the exact same time I uninstalled this app.

I'm wondering if anyone else can replicate this by uninstalling audio apps and rebooting, one app at a time, to see if they can solve the speaker issue?

TL;DR - uninstalled iHeartRadio app and rebooted, fixed blown speaker.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pilotgav:
The vibration of the speaker grill or whatever is vibrating is dependent not only on volume but also on the frequency of whatever sound is playing at the moment. So you won't always get the vibration at allowed volume. What should happen is that if you play the same song over again you should get the vibration in the same spots in the song. This is just to your radical but it makes sense. When sound makes objects vibrate it's due to the frequency of the sound at the moment.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xthejuicex:
When this issue was occurring it was though out the entire song or podcast. Not only at certain frequencies. I don't believe anything is physically rattling, I am thinking this is a software issue. If this was a hardware issue, the issue would persist though out factory reset and would not go away with an app uninstall.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pilotgav:
I hope you're right that would make it a lot easier.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
Don't worry dude. All the tech media sites have been scouring XDA and Reddit to find issues people are having since this phone launched to turn into copy paste news "stories". I'm sure this will get picked up soon enough.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xthejuicex:
Well I just would like someone who is also experiencing this issue to try and see if this fixes it as well. I don't want to RMA the phone if the issue isn't hardware.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] whezzel:
From my experience, this is a hardware issue. I've had 4 replacement phones. The second and third were the worst. The 1st one wasn't terrible but this 4th one I got doesn't have the issue. Ive had the exact same apps/setup on all 4 phones. I've reset all 4 phones multiple times due to unlocking/locking the bootloader, flashing magisk/twrp and the noise persists. The only way to resolve this noise is by turning down the volume or getting an RMA and hoping it's better than the last one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] venkig:
I noticied rattling and distortion from YouTube all the time. I am travelling all over South East Asia for 20 days just to test out the phone's camera and cannot RMA or replace right now.

However after I read your comment I uninstalled di.fm radio app on my phone which has made the sound a lot better but I still have some rattling and distortion.

So weird that an app can cause the whole audio of the system to get F'**'ed up !
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xthejuicex:
This is very weird. I'm glad that it helped you though and that this remedy is not only limited to my phone. I wonder if anyone running 8.1 is having this issue as well?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TheSt33v:
Add me to the "I RMA'd because of this" list. My replacement did not have the issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] paulclou:
RMA 7 days ago, received it today. Both phones have exact same problem. I notice when the phone rattles, you can pinch the phone in the middle and it interferes with the components. It doesn't fix it but it makes another weird static cracking sound. This problem seem to pop up a lot in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoRoSx6x64Y

This is getting really difficult. Just trying to upgrade from my Pixel 1 XL to this new phone with "amazing" front facing speaker...

Can't even use speaker for phone calls anymore because the distortions make it very difficult to understand what people are talking about.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
I got my RMA today 11/21 manufacture date. Issue is there but it's a lot better than before but still present. Pretty sad that we have to play screen lottery and speaker lottery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] paulclou:
Both P2XL in my possessions have good screens. I do not think the blue tint is nearly as severe as others have made it. However, it is the easiest to report, thus it is very widely discussed. But as for the speaker issue, it is much more difficult and less visual to discuss online. Differences in display calibration may be adjusted by a human's brain, but distortions and rattling noises are not.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xthejuicex:
A quick update on my phone:

I brought the phone into the shower again with Google Play Music already playing as normal. A couple minutes in the volume started getting quieter again. I try and turn the volume up with no avail and the sounds goes even quieter. I put the speaker next to my ear and I hear the crackling and ****ty audio quality.

So in my case, this issue popped 3 times while listening in the shower with the phone in an upright position. I will be RMA'ing this phone today.

This phone is IP67 rated, shouldn't it not have any issues playing music and getting slightly wet?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] amandeepparmar:
I agree...no point in gettting RMA done...its the volume balancing issue for the bottom speaker getting the overload of the top speaker in calls... Google needs to fix it ASAP to avoid customer and business loss
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nimrodiny:
I'm having the same issue with the speaker being heavily distorted when taking phone calls via the speaker. It almost sounds as if you're talking with the person over a military radio and not a 2017 smartphone. Very disappointing.

Did anyone try creating a new thread about this on the official Pixel Community so Google will acknowledge the issue? :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
There's multiple threads on the Pixel forum now. One is up to 63-64 responses and Google hasn't acknowledged it as an issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nimrodiny:
Sigh :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pixelsquish:
I don't have any distortion on my speaker phone when playing videos at full volume. I do feel a slight vibration from the phone in my hand at very high volumes. But these volumes are very high and my experience has been with phones that have loud speakers tend to vibrate slightly in the hand. So nothing out of the ordinary.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] joedajoester:
I noticed that if you hold the top grille with your finger nail or just placing your finger in the crack so it holds the grille the rattling stops completely. It's just the top grille that is a little loose.

To fix it maybe the adhesive needs to be warmed up a little bit and then somehow pull the grill up so it makes a more firm stick to the phone.

Another thing, the speaker grille does press in a little bit, does that mean the water resistance is ruined?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
I don't think the water resistance would be ruined. Usually there's a plastic gasket surrounding the entry way so no liquid goes in. Only thing that occurs is the speakers can sound terrible after immersion into liquid and may never sound the same. It varies between the top and bottom speaker which one rattles. If they were loose you should be able to hear them move when you shake the phone but there is no noise when I shake my device. I just really think they're using some low grade speakers here that cannot handle certain frequencies well after a certain volume threshold is reached. Android Police has posted an article about it now, so maybe Google will actually start to do something.

Try making a speakerphone call above 50% volume and it should be present. You'll get a tinny distortion.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MariuxReloaded:
I definitely agree with you, man, because, about a month ago, I've already said that it was a software problem, not a hardware one, but nobody believed me :(

I have some experience about phone and computer speakers and, when there's a rattle or distortion, if it happens everywhere with all apps and programs, then it's a hardware problem, while, if it happens only with some apps and programs, as in the case of our Pixel 2 XL, it is a software issue, which can be fixed through the solutions you suggested :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jasonsaw96:
I think it's a hardware thing. For mine, it's the bottom speaker that is distorted.

I tried pressing hard the the left and middle areas...and guess what? The very right area gets really distorted. Of course in order to double confirm, I pressed the right area and I was right again , only distortion came out from the right area. I had a black unit, it was the same as well.

You said it's a software problem...but apparently many do not have such issue. In fact, I had 8 RMAs for my Nexus 6p, only one of them had perfect speakers. So is this a software or hardware problem ? I'd take hardware, or poorly assembled.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] otonieru:
Being user of Mate 10, and Pixel 2 Xl,

I simply can say that Pixel 2 XL hardware quality (speaker in this specific) is simply lacking,

The build itself cant even compared.

You can tell that the phone internal is not "tight enough", so the sound accoustic from the device itself is not that good, you can feel the rattle when playing audio,

This not happen when the phone built nicely (you will understand if you ever get a hand on Mate 10, or even Meizu Pro 7)

On those two phones, the rattling and vibration is minimal, the sound come out "roundly" and voice with "clear pronounciation"

Honestly, i kinda dissapointed when google decide to appoint LG for another project,

LG build is always sub-par compared to other big brand, my friend who work as manager at LG even jokes around saying that LG stand for "Lower Grade" instead of "Life's Good" , LoL.

I rather had them go with HTC for both model. Sigh
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nickelocene:
My problem is weird. The rattling/distortion comes and goes for my Pixel 2 XL. When it happens, both speakers have the noise. But after a few hours, the noise goes away and speakers work normal for a few days. Couldn't figure out if it's a hardware issue or a software issue. :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hbkekko:
I'm just waiting for a software update in order to see if something change. If it doesn't, I'll go with rma until I'll find a good one. In case, I'm going to ask the full refund
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sullivan1985:
Brand New Pixel 2 XL right out of the box is producing this terrible distortion/rattling from the bottom speaker pretty much with anything over 75% volume. This is really disappointing. Half the reason I waited for the Pixel 2 was because they omitted front speakers on the original.

My three year old Nexus 6 might be lacking in updates and hardware speed but the speakers on that are FAR superior. Probably not worth going about the RMA process as it seems even replacement devices are no good.

What a joke. So much for the Flagship phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pixelsquish:
My first pixel 2 xl had no rattle and a slight vibration you could feel in the phone on very high volumes. Which was ok.

Second pixel 2xl has even better speakers. No buzz. Sounds fantastic
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hbkekko:
You asked for rma because of this?

[youtube]Hh7q8Ij6t5k[/youtube]

Thoughts?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] makni01:
I did, got a new one so far no rattle, but let's see
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pixelsquish:
No I RMA for another reason.

Only thing I learned from that video is don't dunk your phone in water.

Ummmmmm, duh?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Cris7ianO:
Even after the latest big update to 8.1 and another small one thereafter this crappy speaker experience doesn't get any better. This is really annoying and sad. For me it is also the bottom speaker that distorts at around 65% of volume and up. Most of the time it's voices that are scratching. This is really killing me at the moment as I am watching tons of YouTube...

The rest seems flawless. I got a fine display (blue shift gate is a joke), performance is smooth as butter, the camera is good, but one selling point is totally failing: the speakers....

I might actually try one RMA, but hearing all the feedback this will bring me to nothing, only further annoyance. I am really regretting that I sold the 5t for this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jtwlbz:
Just got a new 2 xl and bottom speaker rattles crazy even just above 50% volume. Not good. Manufactured 12/15.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Cris7ianO:
I have applied a volume limiter which is fine for most of the time, but sometimes it is obviously not loud enough... Have you already updated to 8.1? Any improvements? What are you gonna do? It was your first XL? Are you going to RMA it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Yeti12:
It does have IP67 water resistance, if one dunk in water kills the speakers I'd say something isn't right. It's supposed to survive for 1 meter under water for 30 minutes.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pixelsquish:
Doesn't mean you should test it out. That's just dumb. Plus the guy tested it out with the speakers blaring. From what I read when Sony advertised one of its smartphones as being able to take pics while underwater, and then retracted it, they then stated the phone is tested for water resistance while on standby when nothing is running and you should never ever take the phone into water if you can help it.

I'll stick with taking your water resistant phone into water on purpose is just plain old stupid.
