Sorry, looks like my answering service has a very bad quality. The spoken instructions are so very clear and loud, but the left messages are in very low quality and much weaker, so that was a bad test. Tried calling my daughter, without headset and she asked me to move away from the mic as it was too loud when I spoke close to it 
They were all Voice over WiFi calls from the watch.
Ok, that raised a question, so tried mobile signal calling too, with same results.

I only asked about headphones working because it is always possible that in an attempt to make the devices splash proof - they sometimes gum up the speaker.
Just a thought

Tried with headphones . I could hear fine but at the other end very loud distorted noise and couldnt hear me.
Car kit 100% fine

So … still wondering if there is any solution or suggestion regarding the speaker/mic low volume issues?
@pablo11 will have reported the above comments by now but unfortunately these things dont happen overnight

That’s fine,
I guess I’ll just have to put the it away until there’s a fix, for now it’s too much of a problem for making\receiving calls. Thanks Doc.

Guys, you do all know that China is shutdown pretty much between Feb 2nd and Feb 22nd for the new year festival right?
Can’t talk to anyone seriously at the moment until next week.

Thanks @Pablo11.,
I clean forgot that they are in their New Year festivities. Just have to wait another week or so.
I appreciate the heads up.

I have some news about the microphone issue.
It appears that there was an issue with the main board at the factory.
This has now been fixed.
However, I will have more information tomorrow hopefully and find out what, if anything, can be done for existing owners.
Cheers

The rotation issue is getting fixed now and an OTA will be on the way soon

My MAX-S is still on v1.9 of 20201221 with no OTA push for something new. I’ve been using Rotation Control Pro for now and it’s been doing fine in rotating the apps that really need it to be landscape orientation for wearing it as a watch. Since apps are individually selected, I can skip rotating the camera apps and others that get totally screwed up otherwise.
I really don’t think it is worth trying to do this because it is about to be fixed

I really look forward to that. For now, we have to use a rotation app, because some apps are impossible to use in portrait mode, with the watch on the arm. Unfortunately My running app is one of them, and during a timed event you don’t want to have trouble with the user interface sideways and also the touch buttons seems harder to hit correct.
This is the cause of the problem and it over rides anything else including build.prop…
Rotate.apk.1 (1.1 MB)
We are getting it fixed

Any hope for a fix to the poor speaker and mic volume on the Max S phone calls?
Have you put volume to the max in phone call ? Mine is loud and clear in phone call.
