[Q] can't hear other side in conversation.

hey,
I bought the nexus s (9023) about two months ago, stock rom, not rooted, and for the last week or two, it started making problems.
about 1-5 times a day, i can't here the other side at all. as if it's on mute. not even the ringing tone, before I'm answered. the only thing that solves it, is to restart the phone.
in other forums i've read that it's a mess, and that i should use my warranty. the problem is i bought the phone abroad, and shipping it should take about 3 weeks.
is it a common issue?
can i solve it alone, mabye by switching to a non-stock rom?
i'll be very happy to read some good news here, but bad news is better than non.
thanks a lot,
tal
p.s, iv'e downloaded system info to monitor the temp, and it doesn't happen necessarily when the phone is hot.

I don't know... I am rooted, I have used 5 different roms since purchasing my phone.
Stock
CM 7
Savaged Zen
Oxygen
Soju
I have also used several kernels
CM Stock
Netarchy
Matrix
James Bond
Trinity
So far, on all roms and kernels I have experienced the same problem. You make a call and it connects, looking at the screen the time counter is going but there is no sound; it will sit there and hold the call for 30-55 seconds then ends call. A quick redial and bam it works. Some people have reported that they answered and there was nothing. I don't know, it's really obnoxious.
The other, more annoying problem is that randomly on calls throughout the day the phone will just reboot itself. Right in the middle of a call. AHHHH like 3-5 times daily!

help, anyone?
i'm stuck with this, and a bit clueless.

Well, somehow I discovered that the problem is related to the bluetooth. as long as it's turned of, nothing will happen, on the other hand, when I use my earphone (most of my conversations happen while driving) i need to restart my phone every 1-2 calls
any ideas?

just u can't hear other one while calling u?
thanks.

so it was in the beginning, but now neither of us can hear the other. no matter who made the call.
and again, only when BT is working.

hehee its problem ,
am really disappointing with nexus s , but i dont have enough money to buy HTC product again.

any solution?
Hi, did anybody have any solution to this problem?
I live this problem on almost half calls of specific numbers.
I am desparate...

Try setting discoverable timeout to never? Have you tried a different Bluetooth device?

I have this problem too. This seem to happen on some Kangs and nightly, but not all of them. I can't hear when someone calls me. But when I call someone, I can hear them. I always have Bluetooth off (do not use them).

I live the same problem. No problem for outgoing calls. For incoming calls, I cannot hear caller's voice but they can hear me. It is not for all numbers.
I am on t-mobile and nexus s (cynagenmod nightlies). For all incoming calls from tmobile numbers no problem. But for almost all other carriers, it is just random.
I feel like I started having this problem after updating from CM 7.0.2 to 7.1 RC and thereafter(but not very sure on this).

If anybody still following this topic, I would suggest you to contact samsung if you still have warranty. On the second attempt they sent me a brand new phone with box and accessories.

Or, you might give it a try with a different radio for your model:

If you go this road, make sure you backup your EFS folder.

What i would do is if it is still in warranty just give it back to them and they'll probably give you a new phone. Since you said it takes 3 weeks to ship, just wait for it and use another phone if possible. Its not like your life is going to end. I think the problem is, not every phone is the same so there will be problems especielly when flashing a rom. For example unstable roms might not allow you to use this app or have serious effects on your phone.
Best to give it back to samsung and get a replacement.

Really confused! Audio drops during calls

Something very weird just started happening with my SamChg.
When I am a few minutes into a phone call (about 3 - 4 minutes), all audio drops out on both sides of the call. The call is still connected, but neither side hears anything anymore.
I did a factory reset on the phone, but it didn't make a difference.
What can be causing this? If I can't use my smartphone as a phone, I'm screwed!

are you running any special ROM or anything because its happening to me as well

I have been having the same problem for almost a month now. I was rooted when this started happening. I went back stock still happened. New 4g card still happened. Another phone still happened. I have been getting the runaround from verizon the whole time they have no clue what is going on.
On a side note asked a friend that works at a little vzw store if they have seen this problem and sure enough she had. She told me that they had a customer go through 4 phones and she started making calls and was told by Customer Support that it was a known thing and there was a software update coming out for that.
After hearing this I called good ole *611 yet again and they were clueless and said they knew nothing about it. *sigh*

Umm can't even remember now was a month ago LOL. But my 2nd phone I didn't put one app on or anything left it bone stock and still had the same problem. Same as the customer my friend had they would mess up right out of the box.

probably weak antenna

Yes, I am running a custom ROM, but it's basically a stock rooted & voodoo'd EE4 ROM (by danalo1979, I think). It's got all the yucky poo-brown colors and all the bloatware.

Same issue here. I'm running completely stock right now, non-rooted. Sometimes the audio will drop at the onset of placing a call (I won't even hear ringing) and sometimes it will happen a few minutes into a call. Other parties do say they can hear me though.
Personally, I've noticed that this problem only happens when I am also connected to a Wireless Network. If I'm running 4G/3G, sometimes I hear echos of my voice, but the audio won't drop out.
Weird, but glad to know others are having this issue and that VZW is aware it's happening.
What should we do? Personally, I'd like to wait for the SG2 to arrive before I start complaining. My plan would be to basically flip out explaining that I need my phone to work like a phone, etc. Then flip out that I paid for 4G and my decision was battery based (so I don't get stuck with a Thunderbolt). I bet I could talk my way into a new SG2 over this... Just saying.

Well they do not tell me they know what is wrong they tell me they have no clue. I even explained to them somebody there does know as they have explained the issue to someone else that has had the problem but I still get they you just need another phone speel.

I don't have this problem watch as soon as I try to make a call the audio drops...

same, don't have this problem but i probably just jinxed it.

I've had this happen a couple times too...hard to pinpoint consistency. The other thing I've encountered more than once, is that my mic seems to go off mid-conversation, e.g. I can still hear the person on the other end very clearly, but they can't hear me. Anyone else experience this?

I've experienced that. But I'm not so sure I'm not just covering the mic with my finger.

I was on nluetooth, with the phone in the cupholder... Don't think my finger was involved.

Well 2nd Fru and as I told them it would. It does the same thing. Bone stock. *sigh*

One thing that seems odd to me is that I seem to see this problem more when calling another mobile phone vs. a landline.
Maybe it's just my imagination, but I always see problems when calling my wife's mobile phone. Last night, I called a landline for over an hour without any problem.

same here I can talk to customer service for 1hr+ but mobile to mobile most Ican get is maybe 15 min.

I drive around as part of my job and today I tested a call out to my wife who has a charge as well and we were able to talk for over 20 minutes with no issues. That same area I drove through a few days ago caused 3-4 drops in audio before. So in my opinion its a network related issue and hopefully its get fixed 100% cause most of us need our phones to work solidly

To the people losing audio during their calls, can you post your location?
The reason why I ask this is because on the Verizon forums there is an eight page post about this issue. Seems like a lot of people in Arizona are experiencing this. I'm in Chandler, Az and have this issue, especially when calling other VZW people in AZ.
Can't post links yet but check the VZW community forum for the Charge.

[Q] impossible to hang up if the line is busy

Hi,
I noticed weird problem with Nexus 5/ 4.4.
Whenever I make a phone call and if the the receiver is busy (line engaged) it is impossible to hang up the phone straight away. First it give untraditional busy tone and then if I press hang up the tone won't go away at least for next 10secs and impossible hang up until phone it hangs up it self after 10sec. I'm sure lots of people must be having same problem.
Please advise.
Many thanks

Try to calk some other number and reject it see if it hangs up straight away.

Here is the bug report for this. From what I am hearing it may be carrier dependent but could also be a hardware issue.

Most phones will respond this way - this isn't a "new" problem. Perhaps 10 seconds is an extremely long time and it doesn't make sense why you're getting that kind of time, but standard 2-6 seconds is common. Typically what happens with these phone lines is when you call a number and receive a busy tone in response, the transaction is metaphorically grabbed and held onto in the attempt that the called line becomes free again.
Perhaps with Android 4.4 or the Nexus 5, a newer technology has been integrated which is causing long times in this case. I have not experienced this but it sounds frustrating. When this happens - are you calling a land line or mobile device?

Hi,
Doesn't matter whether I call mobile or landline. I tested both and same problem. And its really really frustrating.
I know it might take few secs to hang up with other phone but not this one unbelievably long and I hope thisnt hardware issue. Already exchanged this one previous n5 came CPU faulty (posted on my previous post)

Does this happen when you hang up ANY call or only calls unanswered and you receive a stern dial-tone back signaling they're busy?

No!
It happens when I call and receiver is busy (I get busy signal, not the one with short tones but music like tone) and that's it I am unable to hung up. Even I press hang up, hunging up button turns to grey from red but tone goes on for at least 10-15secs, I tried to exit by pressing home button but still tone will be there until the phone ends it in long time.
Hope this helps.
May be later I'll post the link on YouTube.

I have this issue too on three UK. Have to use airplane mode to end the call. Very frustrating.

YES...I also have this issue here in Canada on Bell network.... Really hope there is a fix for this. Not being able to use your dialer again for another 15 seconds until the phone decides it is going to hangup is unacceptable. Not sure why the person earlier said its normal for phones to take a few seconds, yeah right..my SG2 hung up immediately! How else is one to win radio contests by spamming the phone lines?

No, I stated earlier that it is common for a few seconds when receiving a busy dial tone. Not every single call you end should take time, most will end instantly. If it's a cell phone, should be right away.
I haven't experienced calling a number and receiving a busy tone to test if mine does this also. Hopefully this is something that gets worked out soon.

I'm gonna try my Nexus 5 with different network SIM and see if the issue occurs.

I tried on Virgin UK, didn't get the problem. It was only 5 mins test to few numbers.
So looks like it's rather network issue..

I noticed this because I have an account with a "callback" long distance service. It's designed so that I call a designated number, get an intentional busy signal, and then hang up quickly so they can call me back. Once I answer the callback I dial the number I want to reach.
Well now on my Nexus 5 with KitKat, I hang up, but the callback never reaches me because the device has failed to hang up in actual fact. Instead the callback hits my voicemail.
This is on WIND Mobile Canada which can be a bit of a wonky network, but I am also seeing reports from big North American networks like Bell and AT&T.

I have the same problem. It seems to take about 20 seconds of the busy signal after I have hung up before the call disconnects. Its really annoying.

My pixel mic sometimes are not working during a call

Hi,after using my pixel for a couple of weeks,i found sometimes I can't hear anything , my mic is not working,people on the phone can't hear my voice too.
and when it happened I have to reboot the phone to let it working again. Anyone has a solution of this?
My country desn't have pixel in market,so I can't ask for a replacement.thanks

I did a hard reset on mine and it seems to have resolved the problem. Verizon was convinced it had to do with my WIFI calling setting. I just did this today so this is no indication of a long term solution. Mine also, when I received a call, would drop the first 3 to 5 seconds of my end of the call. Callers didn't know I had answered.

https://productforums.google.com/fo..._gxTpXX3s;context-place=forum/phone-by-google
Big issue on some phones. I had to get mine replaced. Google just admitted today it's HW related. See that link. Hope this helps.

The last post of which says,
To answer some of the questions that have come in on this thread over the holiday break:
*If you are experiencing failures of one or more microphones on the device, there is no known software fix. So far, we've traced all failures back to hardware problems (normally a faulty internal connection).
*Since it's a hardware failure, you need to return your device for a replacement. Normally, the fastest way to do that is from the merchant you purchased from. If that's not possible, you can go direct to Google, but it will take a few weeks as we must receive the device before shipping a replacement. Replacements will be "refurbished" but should be like-new: no impaired performance nor any cosmetic flaws.
*If you are returning your device, I don't need to collect RMA numbers here because we are automatically gathering all devices with mic issues for forensic investigation. Just make sure your reason for return is recorded as "microphone failure" or similar.
*If you are not located in the country where you purchased your Pixel, you'll need a friend in that country to process the return and forward you the replacement.
Sorry for the trouble and happy new year.

I had half of this problem. I could hear people but they couldn't hear me. I turned off wifi calling and advanced calling a month ago and haven't had a problem since. Don't know if it will help you but it can't hurt to try.

I have had that too, i think its related to wifi calling because what really pisses me off is that when im at home i have wifi calling because my phone is connected to wifi and i get in my car and if i make a phone call as soon as i leave the range of wifi the phone disconnects, never had this problem on the iphone. I really love this phone but some small things like this really irritate me.

Pixel 3 Speakerphone issues?

I got my Pixel 3 unlocked from Google a couple of days ago. I really love the phone, but oddly, every time that I call my wife and I'm on speaker, it always takes 8-10 seconds for her to be able to hear me. This happens with no one else, as I've called multiple people on speaker. Google offered to RMA the device, but I'm not convinced that it's a hardware issue. If it's a software issue that will likely be fixed in the future, I will just keep this one. I'm not entirely sure what to make of it, but I don't really want to go through the RMA process just for it to continue happening. Has anyone else had similar experiences? From what I can see on Reddit and elsewhere, it appears to be a rather commonplace issue. I just can't justify waiting for another device to solve a wide spread problem. If it was a fluke issue, then a factory replacement wouldn't make me nervous. I think that I am just going to return the device for a full refund and wait for something else to come out. Sucks though, because I otherwise loved this phone.

I have noticed this as well. I try to talk over the speaker and the person on the other end can't hear me for a little bit. I might try to RMA the phone. How'd you go about talked to Google Support about the issue? A phone call, chat or email?

I was using the chat service, it worked fine. I haven't RMA'd the device. I went and got a new SIM card from AT&T and it seems better. I did tons of test calls to other people on different carriers and it only ever happened with my wife, who is in Verizon. For that reason, I don't think there is a hardware issue with my device, but I don't know what it might be.

I figured it out while I was messing with it yesterday. Turn off HD voice. "enhanced LTE" in the network settings menu and that fixes it. I am on AT&T and had great connectivity with same carrier subscribers, Sprint, and others. I tried calling multiple friends with Verizon and had the issue every time. So I just turned it off.

Update: it looks like December update fix my issue. Will update again if something happen
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This speakerphone issue is happening to me using TMobile and also using Whatsapp calls.
I noticed this issue because the phone is also not connecting to my Honda Civic 2016 Bluetooth and tried using the speakers.
I'll wait for December 2018 update and make lot of test before I contact Google.
I'm using the regular Pixel 3 white.

I have the same issue,,,when I first get a call and answer it with speakerphone no one can hear me for a few seconds then if I toggle speaker off then back on it works okay??

Doesn't this remove the ability to use group chats?
I got my wife the Pixel 3 at launch and we're on the 3rd phone because of this issue and it's still happening. It only happens on speakerphone (not regular) and her speakers seem to be fine which makes me think it's software and not hardware.

I agree with you. I think I'm still having issues with it even without it on. My wife is still saying it sounds like I'm in a tunnel any time I'm on speaker. I hope they get this resolved, and ASAP.

I havent tried that yet as it is the only thing I havent tried to see if my phone doesnt have problems when first answering a call with the phones speakerphone and people on the other end not being able to hear me for the first few seconds? I saw in a Google thread that there may be a problem with the handoff of wifi to actual LTE calling and it makes it difficult for the phones speaker to know where to apply the sound to? I dont have a sim in my phone currently so I am wondering anyone else tried this to see?

My wife has this issue with her new Pixel 3 - oddly not when calling me (I have an S8) but when calling 3 other confirmed people (who [co-incidentally] all have iphones?). Even talking to them over handset first which is obviously fine, when she switches to speaker mid-call they can't hear her.
We tried this but she still has the issue.

We tried this but she still has the issue.

Newest update ending in C3 for my Pixel 3 has fixed my speakerphone problem, so far! Will keep you posted.

Yes, she just updated and tested speakerphone with one of the iPhone's she was having trouble with and no problem. Seems to be working for now!
