I was driving on the freeway today and talking on the phone with the speaker phone setting on, and the other person kept saying it sounded like I was getting disconnected. However, when I was at a stop or driving slower (without much background noise) it was fine.
Has anyone else ran into this issue? Or any issue using the speaker phone for phone calls?
Talking on the phone through the earpiece worked fine.
I'm trying to figure out if this is a hardware issue so I can get an exchange.

What do you mean it sounded like you were getting connected? Like clicking or words cutting off or just dead silence with no background noise?

is there any evidence that conducting a phone conversation through loudspeaker in Captivate is problematic? I'm using the device for couple weeks so far and people are already complaining that they have problems hearing me when I turn the loudspeaker on. It almost feels like that mode is not exactly full duplex, and my voice is being cut off right when the other part starts speaking. Or perhaps it is a problem with noise suppression system?
I remember having problem similar to this one with my old Kaiser when I just bought it, but it the software fix has appeared quickly and was included in all custom roms.
I could not find any mention of this problem in the forums, perhaps it is just me device?
None for me. I use speaker phone for almost all my calls. When in the car I have it plugged into the aux input to talk. When I first got the even tested with stereo turned pretty loud and wife reported no problems.
Might be just yours, sorry man.

You might check to make sure Noise Suppression is checked.
does anyone else have problems with the sound quality in calls? i hear the person fine on my end but they always tell me that my voice sounds muffled or they cant hear me i had an otterbox defender case on and thought it might be blocking the mic some so i took it off and still i have the same problem anyone kno how to fix this?
My gf usually complains when we talk but the issue is me not holding the phone correctly. Try seeing if maybe your holding the phone a bit far from your mouth or half covering the mic with your hand.

thanks ill try that and see if it works if not i guess ill be getting the note
It's the noise reduction on the phone that's doing that to you, happens to everyone once in a while. Turn it off the in the settings if need be. Otherwise raise your voice momentarily and then talk again normally and it won't happen any more.

Shutting off noise suppression worked for me as well.

No I haven't had issues with background noise since Iv'e shut it off.
I have the same issue as well , I just checked on my noise suppression setting is off.... it's starting to annoy me a lot as people tend to complain all the time that they cannot hear me

I only had the issue when on speaker phone. Unticking noise suppression fixed mine, now everyone is happy
EDIT: Covering either one of the mics distorts sound in a phonecall.
Problem solved

I have been noticing this since I got the phone last week and I couldn't really figure out why it was happening.
During a phone call I finally found out that the recipient couldn't hear my voice properly, even though I hadn't changed my tone at all, when the phone was kept in a landscape manner.
Has anyone else been having the same problem?
I'm guessing this is a software that, if it has been signaled to Google, could be fixed with an update.

I have similar issues. When I'm lying down in bed and the phone is almost upside down with that top mic port touching the pillow under my head, people can't hear me at all. The bottom mic stops working or something. I have to make room between the phone and the pillow to get them to hear me again. Hopefully a software/noise cancellation issue.

I figured out the problem. I was simply covering the secondary mic (top of the phone). I did a few trial and errors and found that was the problem. So no hardware/software issue, it was just a simple case of mishandling the phone
I hope this is the same for you! :victory:

Thank you! I was wondering why this was happening. I had the phone upside down so the top mic was touching the pillow.

Why it should happen? it is not like this in other phones. the top microphone is for talking on speaker mode. why the bottom microphone stops working when you are laying down?
it is weird.
So, this morning, when i tried to make some calls ( or others call me) my mic is dead also (and everywhere else, google now, video/sound rec -just hiss-) only works when the speakerphone is on, then it works fine, when i close the speaker from the call, mic is dead...
The noise cancelation is not covered with anything ( tried to also cover it with my finger to test) and nothing works... only when the speaker on calls is on...
Anyone found anything about this ?

I have exactly the same issue. Did you resolve it with your phone?
Yeah... The noise cancelation mic was dead. I had to replace it... It was about 30 euro

Thanks for the reply. Very interesting. I have read so much about this issue and this is the first time I have heard that the noise cancellation mic had to be replaced. Where did you pick up the part? Did you do the repair yourself? Any tips or guidance?
i got it from LG, replaced it myself, its nothing much if you got some tools to correctly open the phone.
Its a small click/hiss static sound that last about a second or 2. Is anyone having this issue? I havnt wet my phone yet so i dont think its water on the speakers. I feel like it only happens on medium-high volume.
*EDIT* I guess its happenening on silent too and its pretty frequent.
Yes, I got that on my LG G2 as well.

Ive just noticed something strange with my phone. I had it placed flat on my desk and was looking at something with my face close to the screen and I can hear a very faint buzzing, like whwn a radio is on but the volume is turned down to zero. It seems to come on and off randomly....
The sound only happens when the phone is on a flat surface and you have to really listen out for it in a silent room.
Any idea what this is? I do have bluetooth and wifi turned on...
Happened to me last night as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
Glad im not the only one! It almost sound like the mic is being turned on and is recording! Spooky!!
hacked ?

When you'll hear it next time turn off DTS, touch sounds and lock sounds in sound settings and wait a few seconds.
Buzzing appears a few seconds after some sound came out of the speakers.
Anyone knows who should we contact and where to suggest a fix in the next update?

they MIGHT hacking ? or checking our phones spying that we have no idea ..
The Google now function always listens? One processor core Is always dedicated to Google now. You can disable this function. If it is not Google now I am very interested to know too. I am very against Google now do function, I do not like when the phone always listen to what you say. And the voice recognition is so good know days that they can turn it to searchable text in the other end...
Some one did mention it is Chinese. I would be more worried if it was American.

I dont know for sure but I think its the NFC chip in the phone seeking out a connection...it only seems to happen when the phone is on a surface. I could be entirely wrong of course. The thing is NFC looks like its turned off in my settings but I dont think it actually is...
