RESOLVED Volume decreases for 5-10 seconds with volume control unresponsive...then goes back to normal.

This morning I went into my iOS settings and then into Privacy Security and then into the Microphone and toggled off all microphone options, thinking that it was listening for a prompt. I drove about 45 minutes with no problems and it happened again. I turned back on some of the ones that I had been using, and it started happening more often. I have not tried turn off Siri totally but that will be my next test which I will try on my drive home. I really don’t think it’s a Lucid issue. If I don’t use my phone at all, as you’ve noticed, the issue goes away. Let me know if you find out what’s going on. I would be very grateful!

Try turning off all notifications and see if the issue goes away.

I will try it both ways

Good idea. I turned off Apple Intelligence on my phone and the "hey siri" feature on my phone and watch. Fingers crossed. I agree with you though, I think this is an Apple issue. It seems like this didn't start happening until 18.5 (at least that's when I noticed it).

You can let Apple know since you’re running beta 26. You can get them and make comments to them with what’s happening and hopefully they will address it.

Good point...I will do that. In order to submit beta feedback, the incident needs to have happened within 1hr and you need to note the time. I will take the car out later today and report it.

Sounds good

Have you disabled Lucid Assistant? I ran a similar issue when they first introduced the feature. It was triggering for "Hey Lucid" on random cabin noise.

I turned off all available options. Below was all that I did and it still didn’t stop the audio from dropping to about 50% sporadically.

To stop your iPhone from listening, you should turn off Siri and microphone access for specific apps. Specifically, you can disable "Hey Siri" and "Press Side Button for Siri" under Settings > Siri & Search. Additionally, you can revoke microphone permissions for individual apps in Settings > Privacy > Microphone.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Disable Siri:
   • Go to Settings > Siri & Search.
     
     
   • Toggle off "Listen for 'Hey Siri'".
     
     
   • Toggle off "Press Side Button for Siri".
     
     
   • Consider also turning off "Siri Suggestions" if you want to further limit Siri's interaction with your data.
     
2. Disable Microphone Access for Apps:
   • Go to Settings > Privacy > Microphone.
     
     
   • Review the list of apps and toggle off access for any apps you don't want to have microphone access.
     
3. Turn off Voice Control (if enabled):
   • Go to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control.
     
     
   • Toggle off Voice Control.
     
4. Consider disabling Speak Screen:
   • Go to Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content.
     
     
   • Toggle off Speak Screen.
     

By following these steps, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of your iPhone listening to your conversations and transmitting that data.

Yes, I disabled Lucid Assistant about three or four days after I got it. It never worked for me so I just turned it off. I was really hoping that it would work great because they just switched over to SoundHound, but it wasn’t what I expected.

On my ride home from work, which is about an hour ride, I powered off my iPhone for the last 15 miles and it didn’t happen one time during that period.
