Question Pixel 7 Pro : Weird audio cut off during calls, sound comes back after pressing dialer - Google Pixel 7 Pro

Hi !
I recently got a Pixel 7 Pro and I'm not experiencing a lot of a bugs with it, which is great, but the only one that I have is really bothering.
The thing is that when I call certain people (or when they call me), I can ear them during 0 to 10 seconds before audio cuts out. After this delay they will still ear me but I will be unable to ear them.
I first suspected the Clear Calling feature which could consider some people as noise (which isn't nice for them) but I don't have the associated beta update so it's probably not that.
After some tests, it seems that I can make the audio come back by pressing randomly some keys on the dialer. Sound comes back for between 1 to 5 minutes after this. The problem appeared on 2 different phone apps, being "Phone by Google" and "Simple Dialer" by Simple Mobile Tools on the playstore.
I couldn't see a correlation between getting the phone to my ear and the cuts off, neither between browsing in my phone (and making the google app go into bubble mode) and the cuts off.
I really have no idea, phones of the people I got problem with are the Poco M3 and the Oneplus Nord. The Oneplus also have the "Phone by Google" application, unsure about the Poco.
Thank you for reading !
edit : Possible fix by modifying microphone authorization of the "Google" app from "only when this app is running" to "always ask" on the other phones (not on the pixel), but this still seems weird...
edit 2 : Problem appeared again today, I'm wondering if this could come from the sim card

I am experiencing the same problem, but it is related only to one contact with a Huawei mate 20 pro. Work around is to call on messenger googlechat

Changing Phone/Dialer Application

Hello,
I´m trying to change Phone/Dialer application that is set by default in Cruise because of compatibility problem with internal or front speaker.
I don’t known if it is possible or the way to do it.
Can somebody help me, please?
Thanks in advance.
Exactly what is the compatibility issue that you're having with the default dialer skin on the Cruise? Are you sure the dialer is the source of whatever speaker issue you might be having?
Aside from the serious lag when painting the dialer I haven't heard/seen any problems with the dialer.
Many times, when receiving or making phone calls, internal or front speark don’t works. I have read others users with the same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381610
But, when making or receiving a call, if you press several times external speaker or hands free button on display, it will work again.
I have note that this happen when you are working with an application that uses only external speaker (for example Tom Tom, Compe Pocket, etc.). I suppose that this application mutes or shutdown internal or front speaker and Cruise´s phone/dialer application don´t make it works again. But, pressing several times that display bottom it works again.
I am looking for another software for Calling or handling Cruise´s phone in order to test this theory.
Yeah i saw your post in the other thread. i have not had that problem. did you try stopping all other applications to see if when they are killed they release the front speaker?

Sound Bug - Bottom speaker sound going through ear speaker/not working at all.

Occasionally the sound in the bottom speakers will stop working and some apps will play through the ear speaker instead. When this happens Google Music, Youtube and some other apps won't work at all. For example pressing play in either of those apps does nothing, as in the play button never changes to a pause button. My alarm app on the other hand plays through the ear speaker instead of not working at all. The ear speaker sound volume is very quiet and doesn't appear to be controlled by the media volume either.
The only remedy that I've been able to find for this is a phone reboot
Wanted to bump this thread -
I originally thought this issue was related to Bluetooth because I use multiple bluetooth devices, but this has happened again recently when I didn't use any Bluetooth devices.
I have the exact same issue, and it's occurrence is random. This started happening a month back. I'm guessing this is due to some software update or something, but its really annoying and the only fix is a reboot.
Anyone has any ideas, whats going on ?
It's been happening multiple times a day lately! It's gotten substantially worse over the past month. I was watching a video, sent a text and when I went to resume it wouldn't play - low and behold the bug came back.. definitely appears to be completely random.
i think that there is somthing with your connection

With my connection to what?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using XDA-Developers mobile app
This problem is driving me crazy
I have the exact same issue. Factory reset and update to newest firmware didn't help any idea?
Wash your phone. And wait till it dry.
I (and other person that I know) have the same issues.
No sound from bottom, and sometimes during the call no audio (I can't ear evrything and the other don't ear me).
Now I'm tring the mobile phone in safety mode.
And I've seen (for the edge version) that next android could fix the problem.
Someone have any update?
Have you tried the safety mode?
Im pretty sure its caused by Facebook messenger and Skype
From what I can tell, this seems to happen when you are playing any kind of audio, such as a video or game, and then receive a notification. You then go to the notification to respond to it and go back to your app that was playing the audio and the issue appears. It seems to be an issue, at least with me, whenever notification is received and subsequently answered.

Sometimes when I listen to audio notes on Whatsapp the volume goes high suddenly

After getting my new Pixel 2, I've been noticing a strange behavior while using Whatsapp.
The audio notes on Whatsapp can be played both on "loudspeaker" or "phone speker" mode, depending on how you hold your phone if far or close to you ear. This is determined by the proximity sensor, I guess.
The BIG problem is that when I hold the phone close to my ear to privately listen to the audio notes I've received, the audio starts low (normal) but suddenly goes high as if it was on "loudspeaker" mode. This is deafening! My ear really hurts when it's happening!!!
I guess this is a huge problem, like causing real immediate injuries...
I wonder if this is a problem with my phone only or it's a common one.
I've already tried to reinstall Whatsapp but with no sucess.
Please, help.
Regards.

No solution, but I've encountered the same issue as well. Even though the phone was against my head, it was like the sensor malfunctioned or something. Maybe it's something Google could fix?

Call problem and various bugs

Hello Guys,
I'm having serious problems with my XZP
I bought it on september 2017, for 5 months worked like a charm.
After february 2018 he started to get mad without any reason, i wasn't able to make any call even pressing several time the call button in recent call list, after 40 sec the phone start to call also if was locked in my pocket.
Got slow for no reason during the normal use (switching tabs on chrome, opening apps ecc), and getting hot for no reason.
Checked the background apps and not found one that was using too much battery (I use same apps, i don't download suspicious app from play store/internet).
I performed a system restore by phone settings, all good, but after almost one month i've got the same problems.
I decide to return it back to amazon and take a brand new one.
New one arrived, after 1 month i've got similar problems, but, when I was trying to make a phone call, the phone made no tone, even if someone answered there was no sound on both phones, sometimes also after many attemps or reboots, i had the same problem, when my friend called me back, there was no issues.
During a phone call, if a tone was played (like the one at the supermarket for announcments) the microphone got mute without any reason and without notify on the dispaly, so i had to call back.
During a video, the screen freezed, i thougt that could be normal, but the video was saved with that problem(it's ridiculous that a "super camera phone" freezes for a 30 sec video).
The phone doesn't ring anymore, no notification sound, no system sound until you reboot it.
Now, I repaired the software with xperia companion (uploaded on the phone, clean), and after 20 days, i've just got similar issue: During a phone call, no tone and no voice at the answer.
Problem with audio, during listening to music or watching a video, if i receive a notification, the volume remains low and i have to pause/play to get the audio back.
With whatsapp, when i listen to vocal messages i get the same problem, also if i open the keyboard
I really don't know what i have to do, i cannot reset every month the phone because is buggy.
I wroted also to xperia support, but they suggested me to repair the software... again?
P.S. I use Huawei 2 Smartwatch, could be the source of my problems?
All the calls are intended as normal calls and not Voip
Thanks

its your watch.
I cant determinely speak, but a normal XZP shouldnt act like that, also its been replaced once or twice in your case so it cant be the unit it self its some thing else, try to repair and not use the watch with it and see how it goes.

Hi Mate,
I disconnected the watch while facing the low playback audio, immediately the audio get louder as it should.
The problem is the watch, now i will see if there are other case, if my watch is defective and replace it, or give away.
thanks!
after more than one month using Huawei watch 2 as standalone i didn't faced any problem descrived above...
damn watch.

Callers side of conversation heard through rear speaker

Hi, I have just this week got two POCO X3 phones, one each for myself and my wife.
We notice that when someone phones us, the callers side of the conversation can clearly be heard from several metres away, like when you have the "speaker phone" set to on. We have toggled the speaker phone on and off, it is defiantly loader with it on, but the problem is whilst it is off (not on speaker phone) our calls are not private, which is obviously not good.
When in a call the rear speaker which is under the back cover just below the camera, vibrates, and it also does this when you play music, like any good speaker it vibrates to the sound waves etc, we can live with this playing music, but not whilst in a call.
ideal solution would be to automatically switch off the rear speaker whilst the phone is being used for calls.
Has anyone else experienced this problem here, there are several posts on the internet complaining about this problem with the POCO X3 but no solutions as yet. I am waiting to hear back from Mi (Xiaomi)
Thanks for reading, hopefully its is in the right part of the forum.
This happens because POCO X3 has metallic frame.
Update it to latest version the developers now limited the maximum sound phone can produce so now it doesn't vibrates.
Or just go to accessibility > hearing and balance the speakers to only right side. The vibration is due to left speakers (upper one)
And reduce the volume while in call so none can hear conversation.
