Anyone else having issues with wifi calling? Initially people were complaining they could not hear me or constantly telling me to repeat myself. I left myself a voicemail on my work phone and was surprised how low the volume was. It's as if the mic gain was turned all the way down. I had to turn the volume to maximum just to makeout what I was saying. Additionally, the earpiece volume is also a tad low on my end. I'm assuming it's safe to say there is nothing I can do till Tmobile updates the phone, right?

I just did a test on wifi calling to my voicemail at home and the volume was fine, sounded like a normal call. There was another voicemail on there as well from someone else and it was the same volume as theirs.

Hmmm...weird. I have no issues with mic volume during regular cellular calls and Skype calls (tested these two by leaving myself voicemails also).
I will call technical support and see what they have to say.
Thanks for the reply Robertsonland
I haven't had any issues (I had latency and sound issues on my Samsung Vibrant and Blackberry Curve before that using UMA) on my Sensation using Wifi calling yet. I used my friends phone while making a wifi call to it, and there was no delay at all, and the sound is great.
Bump. No one else is having low mic outgoing volume issues with wifi calling?

Constant. Wifi Calling is unpredictable. I have no network reception and the phone struggles to keep on wifi calling. I have tried most available roms all the patches and three devices. WIFI Calling is unreliable while using the phone. It works fine when left alone 90% of the time. However those times you pick up the phone and it doesn't show Wifi Calling, or it just then kicks in; you are catching it in its moment of sudden tmobile retardation. And i have tried it will all sorts of access points, obsessed over dd-wrt settings for weeks. Even ended up bricking a couple devices (JTAG ftw).
S-OFF Sensation LeeDroid 1.2 1.3 TMO-US Wifi Calling v1.0
If it's going in and out of WiFi calling like that it's the Sensation's WiFi reception causing the issues.
Do you put your hand over the top part of the phone when you're on a call?
My friends complain that they can hear themselves. Like an echo effect.

Happens all the time with me and my wife...to the point that I don't use wifi calling anymore. It is certainly a problem.
echoing on speakerphone has happened to me, solution.. don't use speakerphone.
Well I'm glad I found this thread because I am having the exact same issue and was going to return my Sensation. I have no regular cell signal in my house so I have to rely on the Wifi calling and it sucks from time to time. I have to repeat myself and sometimes the other person can't hear me even if I'm yelling in the handset. So from what I've been reading, it sounds like this is a normal (abnormal) wifi calling issue with Tmobile. That sucks!!! Is there any fix or possible bandaid for this problem?
Does this only happen with the Sensation or are others having this problem with other phones?
Bumb
Anyone have found a solution to this issue ?
I just joined Tmobile and i an having the same issue .
Microphone seems to be very week and i sound far away when i call using wifi .

I have the same issue sometimes too, If i try to turn on speaker phone the mic cuts off all together. Using Revolution HD
You know .
I truly do not believe its a reception ( wifi reception or anything ) .
I ran packet capture and it all look`s "ok" no drops or resets .
This thing looks like a poor VOIP decryption , either on the phone or the Tmobile servers.
IT IS a software issue . And defenitly need to be attended to .
what i did notice that i have a sensation and so do my wife .
I get the issue she doesn't .
The difference i rooted my machine ( still uses original ROM i have a trust issue regarding running some unverified kernel`s ) .
Any thoughts ?
I have called Tmobile about the issue. The tech I talked to said there were no other reports of low mic volume. My mic volume works perfect when using Skype or SIP. But when on Wifi calling, the mic gain is way too low. I have left myself test voicemails, and I have to have the volume cranked all the way up to hear myself. Hopefully the issue will be resolved with the next software release.
Man that sucks .
This Wifi calling is cool and i like it , but if it doesnt work whats the point .
Any way to contact the development team of this product ?
Calling and talking to some dude in India at Tier I do not help here...
I have used several custom ROMs and Kernels and have had no issue with sound volume or quality using the WiFi calling app. It may be a simple hardware difference during manufacturing. Just as some people's phones work flawless while OC'd and others crash even though they all have the same model CPU. I would try to get a replacement phone to see if it works better.
I actually have another 2 new phones next to me .
Any way to clone my OS (including the config and everything ) to the other phone ?
Then i can move my SD and SIM .
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.

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

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.
Hello all!
I am a noob on here so if this has been asked or brought up before please forgive me. I couldn't find any info on this issue. After installing 2.3.4 on my sensation (I am running stock out of the box) I notice when I connect the phone to wifi and use wifi calling that when I use the speaker phone on my phone, the person on the other end can no longer hear me. The person just says hello over and over and totally cuts off the mic on my phone. When I enter it back to the regular headset, it continues to be cut off. When I try troubleshooting the issue I connected to the t mobile network it works just fine. Only when I use the wifi calling feature does this happen. Does this happen to anyone else? Is this a known bug? I did a battery pull and this did not fix the problem. Any suggestion or feed back would be much appreciated. Thank you everyone!
Not one person is having this issue? Can anyone help out there? At least let me know if it is a known issue. I know the speaker phone is terrible but I'm only trying to find out if there is a fix for this.
Thanks!
HTC Sensation Speakerphone does not work on WIFI
I am having the same issue. Speakerphone does not work over Wifi. Person on the other end cannot hear me and I often cannot hear them. When I am not using Wifi, speakerphone works fine. Version 2.3.4 seemed to improve speakerphone volume, but it still does not work over Wifi. I contacted HTC tech support and they said while they were unaware of the problem, but it is possible that it exists. They said they would investigate. We will see. Not sure whether the HTC Amaze has the same problem.
I had the same issue till I S-offed and flashed a new ROM. I think it's something with TMO's factory ROM they have the speaker function turned way down and my first Sensation would do just what urs is.
Rec: Unlock (S-off) and flash a new ROM (I personally am running CoreDroid 2.4)
I'm on ARHD 3.6.2 and non speaker phone works ok, but on speaker I've been told its hard to hear.
I am also having a same issue. I've opened up a ticket with t-mobile. T-mobile techs are looking into this issue. Yesterday I went to the store from which I purchased my sensations and showed them the issue. We tested the issue with other HTC android devices but only sensation is having this Issue.
I noticed this problem a couple months ago, and am surprised there hasn't been a software update to fix it. In the meantime, I just shut off wifi if I expect to make a phone call using the speaker phone, which is somewhat annoying.
I understand that wifi calling does not work on the current crop of ICS ROMs and from what I have gathered there are some proprietary pieces that make wifi calling on the SGS4G different than any other phone, so my question is whether anyone plans on bringing this to any of the ICS Roms? It's a requirement for me because of lousy T-Mobile signal strength at home and work. I keep reading through all the ICS ROM posts to see if anyone is working on it and so far I haven't seen anything so I thought I'd ask. I'm sure that getting all the core functionality is at the top of the list for most devs, but hopefully this one won't fall by the wayside.
Thanks,
This is on the list. However getting the builds stable and pretty much bug free is top priority.
A temporary fix is try grooveip from the play store. There is a lite version that only works on wifi. It uses google voice to make calls using a wifi/data connection make calls. I know you can make texts show up as your mobile number and Im almost positive the same with your number. If not just tell people its a extension. The only downfall is if you get a call to your regular number it will not ring to the phone just go to your VM.

Using grooveip isn't an option for me because I can't use a different number. My cell is a work phone and too many people have the number to try to get them to use something different.
I'm glad to know it is being worked on. I will continue to use GB until this gets resolved.
Thanks,
sigh.... i'm also eager to use ICS, but need wifi calling. I'll keep lurking until thats an option (or I get a new phone)
Look at this thread. I followed the instructions and managed to get WiFi installed and showing as "Enabled." I guess that the only thing left to do is try it out tomorrow when I go to work. Hope this helps.

It worked for me at least after testing it at work (I loose signal as soon as I work into the building). I was able to send out text messages without any problems but was unable to test wifi calling since I am struggling with a weak wifi signal. Is there a way to flash modems? I have tried booting into recovery and flashed moddem and unmmoded modems with no success.
OK wifi calling doesn't support wifi texting, I know because I have tried. So you were definetely mistaken. There is no wifi calling app built into any current ICS rom because of the lack of the kernel kineto drivers. It's not a bug hypothetically. It is just not there.That's like saying that NFC worked on this phone. So there is no possible way for a fluke.
Same Boat
I work in the second level basement of my building. We call it the dungeon, and if you ever visit you'll see why. (That's not a bad thing because users are generally afraid to come down here). Lacking the required dev skills I have been waiting for a post-MIUI2.0 or ICS rom that worked out the wifi calling problem. Looks like someone's moving the ball for the HTC Sensation, Galaxy Note and maybe other devices.

Against reason and explicit warning I tried these updates anyway. Wifi calling installs, but never completely initializes to run. One update temporarily broke my radio/modem which I fixed by flashing back to stock and moving forward to miui2.0. Luckily I did not brick my phone!
Two options.
1. Use grooveip or something similar as a work around. Forward calls while at work to your google voice number.
2. Start a bounty thread to get wifi calling working on the sgs4g. It sounds like there are a bunch of people that need it and if five of you throw in 20 bucks that is a 100 dollar incentive to get it working.
wifi texting does work

I'm pretty sure it does. Other than anecdotal evidence like I send texts through WiFi Calling in my dead zones (basements, work, friend's homes), if you were on KJ6 modem and couldn't send extended texts (it'd fail to send), you could send them just fine through WiFi Calling without flashing another modem. So, I'm not sure what method you tried so it could have been something unique about your phone.
Me too

Text over wifi works for me too on KJ6. Never send really long texts so I never dropped back to KG4; I'm satisfied with my ValBlack gingerbread rig in this way.
I have also the motorola defy and no one was able to make wifi calling work on Ics, most devs are from outside the Us and no one really cares, they are really good, one even ported JB already. But the SGS4G is tmobile only, so hopefully someone can make it work, tmobile signal is spotty and wifi calling is a must have. Iam staying on GB until its fixed
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??

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.

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.
