Problem with pixel phone app?? - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Just wondering if anyone knows if there's been an update to the phone app that's causing issues? Over the last 4 days mine has gotten funky. It's sometimes hanging and I have to hold power till it reboots. Sometimes they can't hear me and I can hear them. Sometimes neither of us can hear each other. Sometimes it takes ages to connect, if at all. And sometimes it works fine. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed anything. It's come out of the blue for me.

I'm having the same issue. In fact I had a long call yesterday where suddenly neither of us could hear each other. I tried calling voicemail but could only hear it with speakerphone on. Seems to have started after the March security update was installed. Its basically making my phone unusable (I have to restart it multiple times a day).

Am I the only one having serious proximity sensor problems (hang ups)

this has gotten to be a real serious problem for me - hanging up with my face while on a call. i am surprised this isn't talked about more here. any help would be appreciated! is it possible for the dev's to not only remove the end call button but the mute as well?
so far you are the only one that has ever reported anything like that,ya know it could be a hardware defekt

Nope I'm in the same boat as im sure are many others. I have only ever had it actually impact me I think twice on phone calls out of almost a hundred or so that I have had since I purchased the phone. All the others times though it was extremely annoying to keep hearing the click sounds of the screen turning on and off on and off on and off etc.
I keep hoping for a software update that addresses the sensitivity of the sensor, but still no
I also wonder how much the battery is affected by the screen turning on and off repeatedly while in a phone conversation...
I get the same. More on my right ear than my left, but it will often take a digit that I just typed for an automated system and try to dial it, resulting in an alarm tone in my ear during the conversation.
sorry but i have 3 different bolts,the 1st one was rooted stock had that problem but it also went into the brick loop so it got replaced,rooted that one but never had the prob again,this one has the bamf 2 prev 3 on it and no probs that is why i suggested harware cause my first one had major hardware issues

i get it too. but i dont call so much. so i dont really care lol
I too had this problem, and did some quick searching on Google. Stumbled upon someone who said to spray it with canned air to clean it out. To my surprise, it worked. There is just enough room between the screen and the body of the phone for dust/crap to get in and it hinders both the light and proximity sensors.
You might be holding the phone in a weird position?

Damn, you lean something new every day, this thing makes phone calls too!
I've had the issue too recently. But it only started when I returned the last phone to stock. Before that, I had a small issue with it, but it didn't happen often.

I have the screen turn on during calls, but I've never had a face hang up. Honestly I think the screen turns on for me, but can't be interacted with.
Scratch that just did a test. I guess I'm lucky. Then again I don't hold the phone flat to my face. So I guess I would never hit it...
i have had hangups, the mute button pressed, and a 3 way call started. i just tried blowing the screen out with some compressed air as someone suggested. it seems better - will give an update after some testing.
No issues with hang ups for me. Had that problem all the time coming from the X.

I have the same problem and have had it with every Rom I've run and stock. I'm surprised we don't have a way to adjust the proximity sensor yet, that's something I really miss about my Droid X.
After answering a call and putting the tb to my ear, my screen stays on.
Sometimes my ear dials numbers, sometimes the screen stays illuminated but doesn't respond to any touch! I have to toggle the screen on/off with the power button to get the touch response working again.
I have never had an issue. Been on mostly whatever the latest bamf release since rooting.
It happens to me whenever I forget the bluetooth especially after working out or anytime facial area is warmer then normal. I have a screen protector and clean the screen frequently.
I am having the same issue, so I called Verizon yesterday and they are sending me a new phone. I hope it works, because it makes talking on the bolt almost impossible.

this is the first I am hearing of this. No problems for me.
Have the same problem...its really annoying man....will not get a refurbished unit until they fix the reboots

[Q] Skyrocket mic cutting out intermittently

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)

[Q] can't hear callers, randomly

ok, been reading, searching, reading, reading, more searching. haven't found an answer. running stock GB 2.3.6, rooted, only difference is i changed the baseband. but i had this issue before that. here is issue:
usually phone works fine. i can hear callers, they hear me just fine. but if i let phone sit idle for a period of time, the speaker quits. if phone sits for hour or so, and i get a call, phone will receive call no problem, but i cannot hear anything. sometimes callers can't hear me. if i shut phone off and turn on again, all is fine. it's like the audio part of phone calls goes to sleep or something.
anyone else have this problem?

I've had same thing happen to me on Stock, Embryo 6, CM10, AOKP, PaCMAN, PA... Running latest MIUI.US and so far so good. I'd like to know the reason for this too.

Yup had this happen to me once in awhile after running a ROM for a long time. I just reflash a different radio and its usually good for a few months
Had this issue crop up (hence why I'm here). Was going to re-flash back to 2/26, but after pulling the SIM card rebooting, then putting the SIM card back in (and rebooting), it fixed itself.Guess today's power outage was good for something... (was about to pop the SIM into a different phone when power came back.)

Hello twice before caller hears me?

When I receive a call and slide the green phone symbol to answer, the caller never hears my first hello or two, only hears me after a few seconds go by.
At first I thought it was network related but it has happened in a few other places too including bluetooth in my car.
Any ideas where I can look for the problem?
Phone is unrooted.
Thanks.
Actually, now that I think of it... I believe I might have this issue as well. I can think of a handful of similar instances where this has happened, but it took this thread for my mind to connect the dots. Time to do some testing...
Yeap. Same here. I learned to be quiet for a few seconds. But then there are some like my brother who would get irritated that he doesn't hear me as soon as he picks up.
I really want to say this is an AT&T problem. I have been wondering the same thing. This also happens to me. But not just this phone. All my phones for the past two years. Including my n5. And if you search this problem in Google it's common on our network. And across many phones.

Phone drops call, will not dial out until rebooted

Two times this has happened to me. I will be talking and about 3-5 minuets into the conversation my side goes dead, I can not hear them, but it shows as connected to call. I hang up, try to redial, but it will not actually dial out, just sits on the dialing screen. After I turn it off and back on it works.
Anyone experience this, or heard of it? AT&T Variant.
I've experienced something very similar; as with you, it randomly happens after a couple of minutes of conversation. I have also noticed once this happens all audio on the device is muted (will play tracks in the music player or video but no sound). once restarted all is well again. Does this happen on your device?
Furthermore, I have experienced the device restarting on a couple of occasions mind call. unsure if this is related or not?
international Dual sim variant
I experienced the same after setting network to 4G only. Switched back to auto and havent had this problem so far again.
The other side of the line hears lots of noise when this happened to me. I did call my own number the second after and got the same.
Fingers crossed this was the thing for me..
same for me....after call drops no audio at all...
only reboot fix the problem
it happened at least 4-5 times
i noticed that this problem occures whithin low signal area.
It happened to me yesterday after I got in the underground parking from our office. I tried to call someone from my car after I got out and it showed the message "Call failed". Strange that my former iPhone 7 Plus had the same issue. I am on Vodafone Romania.
i am experiencing the same issue. Every 2-3 days my S8+ mutes it self while on call and i have to restart. I am on Cytamobile-Vodafone Cyprus.
I removed my SD card, changed signal from Auto,2G-3G and 2G with no difference.
This only happens while on call and maybe on low area singals (cannot be 100% sure).
Seems like a software issue but Samsung has not said anything regarding this issue yet.
Try to install the 'Soundabout' app.. With no further settings, Just install it. Its something like all sound to be diverted to another output source... 4 days with this app, no symptoms

thanks will test also and let you know
I can confirm that Soundabout doesn't solve this issue..... The problem always shows up in my office, where i have a very low signal spot.
It happens about two times per week and always needs to perform a reboot in order for the sound to work again

Have you tried toggling Airplane Mode on and off instead of rebooting?
Yes tried that... Not working
Needs restart always.

its realy annoying
Has anyone tried resetting the phone to factory defaults? Let us know please
I did first: factory reset, same problem.
Second: on support they replaced microphone, same problem.
Third: replaced board, same problem after few hours.
Problem is always the same: I can hear them but they can't hear me. If call back again everything is ok and working.
i think its factory fault they changed whole motherboard and the problem still happening most times, i have 2 phones same problem and signal full bar on both sim, waiting Samsung answer
My S8+ drops calls like crazy... What an expensive piece of crap.
There have been reports of Samsung's fps software causing unrelated modules to periodically stop working until reboot (modules such as iris scanner or WiFi internet connection).
As an experiment, try turning off Fingerprint Gestures and all fingerprint security functions in Settings, as well as deleting all registered fingerprints. Then reboot and see if the call-dropping problem goes away.
Spoke with some people today and seems that in Cyprus all of the users that reported this issue are with Cytamobile/Vodafone. Noone of the MTN and Primetel users are reporting related issues.
Seems that the issue is with Vodafone?? I noticed that in most of my calls the sound is clearing like switching to HD Voice so maybe this has something to do with it? With MTN and Galaxy S7 Edge i did not have that.
Hi,
Since my phone got updated to G955FXXU1AQF7 the issue seems to be resolved. I have been using the phone for 5 days now without any issues whatsoever. i will update if anything changes.
