Microphone icon obscuring and preventing manipulation of preset controls

Post by sporty007 »

So received my Spark 40 and have been enjoying the learning curve until I've encountered a problem which has me stuck fast! When I attempt to edit a preset in the app the microphone icon in generally covering the volume control of any amp so i can't change the volume. The microphone icon does not want to budge and even sliding the amp image slightly to the left doesn't help as the you cant adjust the rotary controls unless the amp image is in its correct place. I'm using Android 10 - if I disable the microphone permission in app settings the icon is still present on the app screen - any ideas?

can you put a screen?
it's an anomaly since with android 10 I don't have this problem..
have you tried to rotate the screen in landscape?

FYI, my Spark App does indeed function in both portrait and landscape on my android. I am fairly certain this was addressed in an app upgrade quite some time ago. As well, the microphone icon is not in the way on my tablet. Recommend you do an upgrade from the play store.

In PG they added landscape mode a few updates ago and the microphone icon has never been in the way.

definitely no landscape mode - my Sony phone (Android 10) is set for auto-rotate and only downloaded the app 2 days ago so it will be the latest version and only displays the app in portrait mode. Anyway i have found a solution by altering the 'Display size' in android screen settings that has moved the microphone icon slightly lower so now not covering the various amps volume knob - cheers! ps any idea how to stop phone text notification sounds coming out of the Spark when I'm playing?
