Ok so I thought I was hearing things the first time this happened, but before I answered an incoming call on my evo I heard a voice on the other end while my phone was ringing. Well today I heard it again so I decided to check it out, so I called myself on my girlfriends phone and lo and behold I could hear myself on my Evo while it was ringing before I even touched the slide to unlock.
I searched around to see if this was a known feature or bug, but I haven't seen a thing, anyone else notice this?????? Its pretty cool to have lol. I'm on a stock droid build, I tested it some more and its pretty intermittent so I'm leaning towards a bug or glitch but It happend about 3 out of 5 calls so far from my gf's cell (verizon) and it hasn't happend with my dads he's on sprint..

I have a question, has anyone experienced this: Your phone starts ringing, but in addition to the ring you can hear background noises, including the person who is calling.
So basically you can hear the person on the other end before you pick up the phone. Me and my friends did an unscientific test by calling each other, and found we could hear the other person before answering about 25% of the time.
We all have the HTC Touch, but I have experienced this on my HTC Mogul; We also all have Sprint, but the incoming caller does not have to have Sprint, as it has done it with my friend who has Alltel.
Is this some sort of call screening feature of WinMo or is it a strange bug?
I've never noticed this with my Vogue or Mogul.
I recently purchased the VZW VX6900 and previously had the 6900 through Qwest.

i was running a custom rom a few months ago and when i'd get calls i could hear some sort of sounds comming from the rear speaker. i have never actually even thought that it could be from the incoming phone. but to be honest at that time it sounded like it was just some background whooshing sound.
i'm running vetvito's 2.1 rom now and i dont experience this anymore.
Same problem on my Sprint Mogul, but only recently.
And only from iPhone owners.
Hmm.
i have the same thing pen to me too. although it seems like it only happens when my girlfriend calls and she's driving in a certain area.
It's happened to me a few times too. It really freaks people out when I repeat to them what they were saying before I picked up!
It used to happen to be every time on my Alltel Touch until I upgraded to the latest ROM. I wish it still happened, I sort of enjoyed it at times.
It happens to me sometimes, too. It can be fun
I am using TELUS vogue in india on TATA network
i am on my own have unlocked the phone to use it in INDIA i have a found a strange thing that
whenvere a phone call comes along with the ring i can hear the sound of person who is calling or any sound i can hear around him
although it is great as i can hear what the caller wants to say to me!!
i 1st thought that only my phone might had such problem but i unlocked another SPRINT VOGUE which showed the same signs too and in it also the voice of caller leaked along with the ring goin on and his/her voice
i cant hear the voice when i put my phone on VIBRATE MODE i am using NFS FAN V17 ROM
i have beeen using the phone 4rm WINMO 6.0/6.1/6.5 still the phone shows leak in rings
so what should be the problem that such a sound leaks!!????
That a funny one, never heard of that problem here in the States. I would say it is probably something to do with your network and a flashed phone from another country. But it sound like a cool feature as long as they don't hear you. But yes the only thing that should be carried is the ring until the call is answered.
If you hear your phone still ringing after you answer the call then it is defenately a phone issue.
If you search the Vogue forum you'll see that an awful lot of people with flashed Vogues on WinMo see this (some people with stock Vogues claim to see it as well).
I don't think it's international-related and I don't think anyone ever figured out why it happened or how to change it.

Confirmed.
My vogue on Sprint does the same. Usually when another person on the sprint network calls me.
Ok so its happened twice today. I was calling someone and it showed it was dialing and connected but i didnt have any sound from the ear speaker or the speaker phone. The 2nd time it happended it apparantly went to voice mail but i didnt hear anything until the voicemail said that i need to leave a longer message. Has anyone else had this problem?
Once connected hold the volume rocker on the side of the phone all the way up, aside from that I have no idea.
yea its wierd i know, i've called my wifes phone 10 times trying to replicate it but cant. but this morning it happened twice within 1 hour. i had to call back and then it seemed to work fine. hopefully its just tmobile being crappy and not my phone.
This is just IMO so there is no fact to what I am going to say. Myself, I think it is a HTC thing. My G1 did that all the time but when I got me a Cliq, I never had that issue again. Now that I have the N1 I have encountered this same problem again. It tends to happen more if you are in an area where is it Edge/GPRS.

I have experienced similar issues....For instance, I called someone today, and I couldn't hear them, it was weird...anyway, I got someones voice mail while calling them and it kept saying it could not hear me to record the message, LOL! I am striking it up to no being familiar enough with the phone or maybe my face hit the hold button or something on the screen, but I found it all strange. It's quite possible there is a bug or something although the touch screen can sometimes be touched by your face or whatever and put the call on hold by accident, etc. etc. Take a look at the on screen options once you make a call, there are many options including a hold button in the upper left hand corner which can easily be touched by your face, ear etc.
this is what the proximity sensor is for. it turns of the screen when it comes near your face.
First off - this is on TMOUS, stock 2.13 ROM
I noticed this last night when trying to activate my wife's visual voicemail on her new HD2 (I got mine on the release day, and we picked hers up for free over Father's day... happy father's day wifey ).
If I call 800-937-8997 from my device, it hides the phone keypad and automatically opens the "My Account" app, this in itself is annoying because I already know I can't get my question answered there. However, I noticed that I couldn't put the call on speaker (so I had to listen to Miley Cyrus' cat-like voice screaming into my right ear, T-Mobile... this is not cool) and after hanging up ALL subsequent calls to any other number have the speaker disabled. It is not until I actually soft reset the device that I can use the speakerphone again.
I accidentally clicked on the number in my history and the same thing happened today so I can replicate the bug. Anyone else notice this same thing?

Edit: I also posted this over at the HTC Forums and at least one other person has noticed this after a call with TMobile(611).
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/windows-phone/f/90/p/3724/15605.aspx
I HATE it when this happens. I try not to even call 611 anymore b/c it's so freaking annoying. Is there any work around for this yet?
I saw a post on these very forums not too long ago (although the post itself was very old) that said TMOUS know about this issue, acknowledge it is there internal phone system that is causing it but have no idea why or how to sort it.
I can't find the post right now but it is poking about somewhere.
So I've been using custom ROMs for this phone since a week after I got it and have never had any problems with my main calling speaker until this morning. I woke up when I got a call from work and when I answered I heard nothing. I figured since I have terrible reception where I live all the time that I just needed to give the phone a second to find a network signal, but I actually had 3 signal bars. So I called back and same thing happened, the call connected, but I couldn't hear anything. At one point I hit my speaker phone button on accident and I could hear my boss asking me to come in early. So later I checked my voicemail so the notification would go away and I couldn't hear anything until I switched it to speaker phone.
tl;dr version: this morning my main phone speaker stopped working and I can't figure out why. Wondering if anyone cab suggest a fix or if they've had it happen to them. I've been on Joker's 0.7.0.0 special for about a week now and haven't had problems til this morning. Any help or info is greatly appreciated.
