Hi all,
Just wanted to put this out there to see if anyone else had experienced this. Using SGS2 skyrocket - stock 2.3.5 UCKK1 (rooted) and then updated UCLA3 everything (rooted) - When on a phone call after sometimes 1 minute and then other times 5 minutes my microphone stops working and the other person cannot hear me. I can hear them fine, but they cannot hear me.
Wired headphones work without an issue, but the internal mic seems to have an issue with my phone. a work around I read for the non LTE SGS2 works where you hit the speakerphone button and then they can hear you again and if you turn it off it buys you another 5 minutes or so on mic.
So frustrated with this that I am doing an exchange today on the phone.
Just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced and if there was a know n problem with the phone? Google and XDA returned very little.
Thanks!

Hey I too also have this issue, I had a temporary fix which lasts longer than turning on the speaker but it's still temporary, I have the skyrocket on Rogers and I called them in about it, apparently it has something to do with the network, they did some reset and told me to restart my phone and it worked for about a week or so, hope this helps, if anyone has a fix to this please reply
I read another case like this awhile back, try searching it up. i believe it was rma'd though
I have a very similar problem, I go "in and out" a lot. The problem is the noise canceling mic on the top of the phone by the headset input, I left myself voice mail on my home phone and while talking moved my finger gently over the tiny microphone hole and that causes me to go in and out.
For most turning of Noise Suppression in settings will work, for me it does nothing as if it is perma on lol except on ICS where it actually turns off (dont ask me I have no idea why)
So today during a call I noticed a very annoying buzzing sound coming from the speaker used during normal calling (i.e. not speakerphone mode). after I ended the call. It sounds like something came loose in the speaker, something is rattling, but it is tiny. A second call had the same buzz, but a little less prominent. Has anyone experienced this? I don't recall dropping my phone recently. I just want to know if it is a common problem.
I assume the solution is to get a replacement under warranty with ATT (I got the phone in early August). Will the warranty cover this?
I believe the noise you hear if you shake phone is the accelerometer.
A one off day perhaps on the buzz, perhaps network caused.

I've had 3 Nexus 5's so far due to one RMA and lastly because of a mistake on Google's part. But with all 3 Nexus 5's I have had two bugs that have been driving me nuts. I was curious to see how many people have had the same problems and if anyone knew of a fix. Bugs:
1) Keypad buttons being pressed while on a call. This happens almost every call. It seems that the screen is still active even if the proximity sensor turns off the screen. I haven't been able to reproduce it on purpose, but every single call I take I hear buttons being pressed. Sometimes it's like my notification bar get's pulled down, then the clock is clicked and I feel all these vibrations and ringing sounds and I look down at my phone and I'm in the date/time settings. This happens even if I don't have the dialer keys open. Weird.
2) Say I'm laying in bed and I answer a call. It seems as if there is some sort of setting for the accelerometer that if my head is tilted too much it's as if the microphone stops working... almost like the phone tries to switch to the second microphone (the one not normally used for phone calls). I can't tell you how many times I've been in bed and get a call from my wife (who works night shifts) calling to say goodnight and if I ever put my head back on my pillow she can't hear a word I say. As soon as I lean forward again she can hear me.
These are two problems that I have had with 3 different Nexus 5 phones. I've experienced the same problem with both Franco Kernel and the stock kernel. I don't know what else to do but it's driving me crazy. Anyone else seen these problems or know of a fix?
Thanks in advance.
Try turning your screen off during a phone call and see if there are still key presses being made. Depending how you hold the phone, the proximity sensor might switch the screen on during your call and could register key presses from your ear. The sensor is on the right side of the phone and will "miss" your head if it's behind it.
Unless you're leaving the digitizer enabled (tap2wake etc.) it shouldn't happen.
The mic issue while lying down seems to be common. Your head/pillow blocks the sound and noise cancelation wigs out. You could alter the way you hold the phone while lying down so the secondary mic at the top sticks out more. Personally, I just sit up and haven't had an issue with the noise cancelation since.

Hi *,
I've two Problems with my Razr HD (XT925):
The vibration doesn't work correct, meaning it's fading in and out. Every time the phone is not vibrating and i shake it, it vibrates again for next couple of minutes until it fades out again. So i think it's a hardware problem. I've tested several roms and it's always the same effect, so i suppose that it's not a software bug.
The other problem i have is the speaker of the phone. Whenever i talk to somebody i have trouble in understanding the other person, because the speaker sounds kind of tinny, like the whole case of the phone is vibrating. Changing the volume of the speaker won't help.
Do you have any ideas how to fix these problems?
Does anyone else have an issue with the vibration motor making a weird noise? Almost like it's not stuck in the phone properly. When I squeeze the phone it stops, as soon as I let go the sound returns.

Sounds like you have a problem,my vibrate is quite loud but not as electronic sounding as yours.Mine is more deep bassey almost
If it also makes that sound when flat on a table or in your hand instead of on the case, then something is wrong indeed.

Just looking at your video again. When you lift it up from the surface it sounds more like it does on mine

Yes, it does it whenever the phone vibrates. Makes no difference if it's in the case, out, flat on the table etc. Only stops when I pinch the phone.
I'll start a chat with Oneplus for a repair order
Oh **** that's not good. Mine sounds tinny but solid. Not as nice as phones like the LG V30, but acceptable. Definitely that sounds bad. Take it back for warranty replacement IMO
I had the same problem and had to reduce the intensity of vibration via settings. Working is acceptable since then.
Only that it scared me when it suddenly started up.

Sounds like you have a unique vibrator that no other phone has. Embrace it or... You should probably replace, because that's an actual moving part, and if not to spec, it could lead to a catastrophic failure, whatever that means.

That's one way to look at it. You're a glass half full kinda guy
I've send it back to OnePlus for repair monday, should have it back tomorrow. Happy for the quick repair by OnePlus.
I have the same exact problem. The strong vibration setting causing it but when I put it on medium its fine.
*Man, it would take like 2 weeks to get my phone back, I don't know if I should sent it for repair or not. :/
I have the same problem. Contacted OnePlus via live chat and was told this is normal and it happens on her OnePlus phone on strong vibration setting.
I decided to check on YouTube to see where the vibration motor is located. Put the phone down on a flat hard surface, applied a little pressure on the bottom half of the phone by holding phone by the sides. This seems to have 'fixed' it for me for now.
Looks like it is not 'normal' behaviour as the lady in customer services suggested. Probably just a slight quality control issue.
edit: seems it was temporary 'fix'. Rattling is back.
My launch-week OP6 just developed this issue. Leads me to believe it might be something like an adhesive working loose over time. Thank you for this thread. I've put my call vibration on medium (was high) which seems to alleviate it.
I have sent my OP6 for repair. Dropped it off at the local UPS service location, it is going from the UK to Poland. Lets see how long the turnaround will be and what, if anything, they do to fix this.
Checked the RMA tracking today and apparently the fault has been fixed. Spoke to someone on OnePlus live chat who said the vibration motor was faulty and has now been replaced.
Took a total of 4 days to receive the phone back. Vibration motor replaced and no longer rattles when set to 'Strong'. Now just restoring apps and data on the phone.

Have the same issue in strong vibration setting. Open a service ticket with OnePLus. Did you send your phone with the original retail box ???,

OnePlus provided a return label to send from UK to Poland. I packed the phone in the original box for protection. Not necessary to send back in original box but has to be packed securely.
I have the same problem with the strange vibration sound.... But it only happens sometimes.
The noise comes from the metal power button and volume button. Nothing to be worried about. Its annoying but you can fix it by using full back cover.
