Interesting. My Nexus 5 does this sometimes. I know that the warning is a mandatory health warning (at least in the EU, I think). Android does it once after every reboot, I think.

I JUST bought a Band like two months ago. I love the thing, but I can see where its durability may not be the best... a new one with added flexibility would be godsend.
Maybe since it seems like a durability issue MS will give me a refund that I can put to a new one...

It has done this since 8.0, forever.
And it lowers the volume after each reboot, too, like Brot's Android.
I don't care if it lowers after a reboot. But my icon never actually lowered the volume while I was using it like it did today.
Happens to me all the time
Nobody else on our carrier is having issues, though. Nobody else has a WP device, either... Oh well, hopefully it'll fix itself sooner rather than later.

This is my understanding, though I'm not sure where the source was from.
Yea well that's all well and good but I live in 'Murcia and if I want to blow my eardrums listening to Slayer at volume 25 of 30, by gawd I'm going to do it. And id love it if the damn warning went away. I've not heard of any such nonsense or silly law here 'cause we ain't no nanny state.
yea, I think its aim is to help kids who don't know any better and where the most long term hearing damage occurs, in youth.

Happens on my 830 and pretty sure it happened on all my Nokias. Every so often I'll be listening to a podcast, then I notice the volume is lower than normal and lo, the warning appears on my phone and it's set to the dreaded 13.

[super simplified answer]
more expensive headphones can sometimes require more volume to reach the same decibel level

Man this is so annoying. It has been a week or so now and I still can't have windows 10 on my phone. Everytime I try to update to it my phone gets stuck O the screen with the spinning gears. I really hope they fix this soon.
It's only Microsoft's fault at this point. Been almost two years since the Lumia 1520 was announced (October 22nd 2013).

Same for me, I hope it's a bug, because it's bloody terrible to navigate like that.
Yeah wtf.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Yeah wtf. I was also trying to figure that out.
I think I was at 15 yesterday when it happened. Using some nice sony noice cancelling cans. When I mow the lawn I use earbuds and I'm usually around 18-20, but its never once lowered the volume while doing that.

has calmed down a bit.
I'm about to give up on mine. Incredible hardware, but touchwiz is jank central and the battery life is horrendous. Just today, I wanted to use Google maps to get directions to a hotel and the damn thing just slowed to a crawl. Had to reboot it. This is a beast of a phone, eight cores and plenty of ram, plus the most beautiful screen I've ever seen, but somehow Samsung and Google (5.0) have conspired to bring the hardware to its knees. Amazing.
Really dude?
Christ I didn't realise it's been that long.
Pity, didn't think the S6s would be like that.
At £15 a month it was too good an offer to pass up on the 128GB version, although in saying that I wouldn't be surprised if EE cancelled it.
You disgust me.

If I'm not mistaken, it was first released for a subset of C# development last year, but this is the first time it is involved in UWP apps. It should make new apps more responsive as they are not referenced against the CLP as the Windows 8/8.1 ones.
Just like that? What did you do?
Gotcha thanks.

Since a week or so my WP10 (latest built) is almost unusable... slow, locks up when unlocking, tiles that are unresponsive or just empty. I need a new built!!!
My sister has an issue with her phone, where she experiences sudden drops in battery life -- it can go down from 70+ percent to shutting off within minutes (or maybe even less).
Am I right to assume that it basically can only stem from a defective battery? Having the battery replaced costs 70 Euros. If that solves the problem and the phone can still be used for some time, that would be worth it. I'm just wondering if anything else could lead to that symptom.
(disclaimer: it's actually a Sony Xperia Z1 compact -- not that it makes much of a difference)

Yeah, most likely the battery is already old and has too many cycles in it.
Am I assuming right that hey Cortana isn't available in this current build?
Also the weirdest thing happened to me in outlook. My battery was low and once battery saver turned on, the last 3 or so months old emails disappeared from my work account. I later charged the phone and the emails populated again but I've never experienced that before.
Have you downloaded any apps recently? Maybe it was coincidence but I ran into performance issues after downloading the Plex app. Huge delays when trying to open apps, which sometimes never opened after loading for far too long, or the entire phone becoming unresponsive, forcing a reboot.
I'm surprised that we haven't heard anything about a new build yet. I thought part of the reason behind the delay of the most recent build was because they were branching off a team for the mobile version. Was hoping we'd see quicker turn around now.

Considering it was shown since Build, I say it was about time.

I'm on the latest preview build. Since I updated this happened
You have to do a hard reset to get things working properly, I'm afraid.
Btw, I'm happy to say that the latest build has not deteriorated on my 1020 yet. It runs exactly the same as it did on day one.
Which is not to say that things are great, because there were long loading screens from day one every now and then and there still are.
But battery life is relatively ok and in general it works ok(ish), at least.
