Muffled sound? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So we bought an irenic
Otter box case for this phone and with it on it causes the sound to be muffled. Take it off and it doesn't. All speakers and mics appear to be visible and I just can't figure out why it does that. Weird thing is for the first few minutes after you put it on it doesn't sound muffled but then goes back to it. I'm referring to speaker phone as well as on call volume without speaker phone on. Anyone have any insight before we send it back?

Clicking sound in ear piece speaker when on a call

I have noticed now several time when on long calls I hear a clicking sound and some times several times during the call. It almost sounds like a electrical short sound. The first time I heard it I pulled it away from my ear and wiped the phone off thinking it might have been some sweat getting in the speaker. But then it did it again.
Does anyone else have this or noticed this?
Yes, every HTC phone I have owned does this and it drives me crazy! Don't have a clue what causes it.
I've had mine over a week now and never noticed any strange sounds through the earpiece.
The speakerphone, on the other hand, is horrendous! I'm on conference calls on my phone several times a week, and the sound and clarity of the MT4G's speaker is crap. Luckily, most everything else rocks.

I wonder if it could be a reception issue or if you are on the edges between towers? I have never had this with any other phone though.

[Q] No phone audio

Ok, I've searched the internets and this forum and could not find this issue. Basically, everything on this phone works fine, except for phone calls. Mind you speaker phone and BlueTooth and using the 3.5mm jack, works great for phone calls, but no audio is coming from the actually speaker for phone calls.
This seems more like a software issue, as when I dial a number and it calls, it makes the call, but the ability to mute audio is greyed out. However when I switch to speaker phone, I get audio and the ability to mute calls.
The phone is rooted with the stock android. I also used bloatware freezer to freeze a bunch of the unwanted junk. I'd say this was an issue with an app I froze, but the issue didn't pop up until recently (LAST WEEK)and I did the root/bloatware freeze months ago.
Hasn't been a major issue as I usually use BT or plug my phone into my car speaker system for phone calls. But in the instances where I don't have that stuff handy, using the speaker phone is an embarrassing mess.
My gripe with g2x speakers is why place them on the bottom of phone...
I usually cover the speaker on accident when holding the phone and prefer having a speaker on either top front or top back of the phone. Its too easy to cover the g2xs speakers where there placed.

The Phone speaker is at the top front for regular phone calls. The bottom speaker is for Speaker Phone and Audio/Video.
....ಠ_ಠ.....
I m pretty sure is at bottom.

I'd say... Do a nandroid and flash a different rom. As I don't know the finer details, I couldn't tell you something more intricate to do.
If it persists on other roms... Well, someone else will have to take over from there.

[Q] Earpiece problem

Hi,
I've noticed a "crackling" noise in ear speaker. My ear speaker started crackling very bad and it was hard to hear the person I was on the phone with. Even with the volume turned down about half way, I could still hear a little crackling sound but could barely hear the other person.
Does anybody have the same issue?
I do

It's a phone issue (EarPiece), just replace it.
I've ordered (price ~ 1 USD + delivery ~ 2 USD) an Earpiece in China and successfully replaced it (it took me about 10 mins to replace by myself). Now everything is fine.
:laugh:
The some problem with my Nexus 5X.
Ear speaker during calls crackling very bad.
I will send it back.
Hope the new one don't have this issue.

[Q] In call speaker broken

So my cousin bought this phone yesterday and during his first phone call noticed that he could only hear the other end of the call thru headphones or speaker. Verizon replaced it without question and there was no issue there. Was just wondering if anybody else got a defective device.

My first replacement had a bad ear piece. Cracking when turned up during a call.
My volume is low on earpiece during calls. I can't hear much unless I am in a quiet room. In my car with road noise (New B'Mer not very loud) I can hardly here other party

If you're talking about using ur phone up to your ear, speaker by front camera, I would say replace it! Mine is very loud on full volume, honestly the loudest cell phone speaker I've ever had for the regular speaker, not talking about speaker phone here.

Call quality

When you call granny, does she keep saying "Huh?! Wut?!" or does the conversation flow pretty well? Rate this thread to express how you feel about the Huawei Nexus 6P's call quality. A higher rating indicates that calls are clear and crisp, and that regardless of background noise, you can hear the other party clearly (and with ample volume) and they can hear you.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Call quality is just fine. However I have a bug where if I start a call on speaker then switch to handset, the mic is muted. Gah!
When you hang up while you were on speaker, do you still here that annoying peep !!!!!!

Call quality is excellent but on T-mobile, I randomly lose LTE data and only get it back by rebooting the phone. Not cool.
2 Verizon phones here, many callers complaining of the call sounding "muffled" on their end....have found other reports online of the same issue. Pretty good on my end, but apparently not so great on the receiving end.
Google Fi and have had no issues with call quality. Though today I had issues with my proximity sensor not detecting right during a call.
Did the conference call to compare nexus 6 with the 6p. Definitely muffled sound. The other party always complain. So returning this unit, getting another one tomorrow. On t-mobile network.
On Verizon, i get a noticable buzz as my contact is talking and my volume is Medium high or above. on headset. Has anyone else experienced this?
Sounds like mixed results so far. For those that say it's muffled, what are you comparing the call quality to?

With HD calls on T-Mobile I hear static behind every sound. Besides that everything is fine and calls sound great

Mine almost sounds like the speaker is blown out during calls but not when music is played or anything. Also, if I connect Bluetooth during calls or a device other than the phone speaker, the static goes away :-/
I'm getting a very clean call quality on Google Fi. It's much louder on both ends compared to my old 2013 Moto X on Verizon.
As with previous Nexii, the proximity sensor doesn't work properly. Sometimes when ending a call, I take the phone away from my face and notice the notification shade pulled down, because the proximity sensor didn't activate and turn the screen off soon enough.
Also slightly muffled on most calls for verizon.. Only time it's not may be when it's on HD calling with someone who has it..

I posted a fix for this over on reddit. Apparently what is happening is the noise cancellation is interpreting your voice as noise and is attempting to cancel it resulting in a muffled sound. Turning off in call noise cancellation seems to solve the problem. To do this you need to edit your build.prop. The easiest way is to download a build.prop editor. Open it up, locate persist.audio.fluence.voicecall, and change it to false. Save and reboot. Should solve the muffled sounding voice problem.

Thanks, I know that's the fix....it just blows that root is required (I could easily do it to mine but my wife has no desire to let me root hers). After experimenting, the easiest "fix" I've found is to just make sure the bottom speaker is more in line with your mouth and that you don't let the phone "slouch" more vertically (resulting in the bottom speaker being closer to your shoulder).
I am on T-mobile in the US... I was getting comments like speak up.. Sound like you are in a tunnel.. It turns out that covering the noise cancelling mic on the back with your shoulder or a pillow etc causes a problem..
It seems like you have to have root to turn off that feature.
But most of the time calls are clear...
I'm switching from my Nexus 6 and so far my reception is better, and my wife says that she can hear me much better than on my old phone. I am using project Fi

If you use Bluetooth or actually hold your phone, then you will be fine. It seems that the problems appear when you try to use the phone without hands by placing it on your shoulder and covering the rear noise cancelling mic.
