Does anyone else have the problem where, when you're talking on the phone, there is a delay/pause/silent echo in the transmission? I have this problem in every phone conversation, whether I'm talking to someone on a land-line or a cell phone. After the other person stops talking, I have to wait a good solid second or so before I start talking, because they might have started saying something else and I talk over them.

I ran into the same problem but not every time. It is random for me. Thanks
Sounds like a problem I've heard of with using google voice to make phone calls. Is it absolutely every call for you (and are you using google voice)?

A word of caution to fellow T-Mobile Wing owners:
I've found out that (occasionally) when my phone is ringing, the microphone is on and the caller can hear everything! My wife mentioned that she notices this when she calls. She can hear the ringer, and can hear me talking to others BEFORE I answer the phone! This can be really bad! The last thing I need is someone calling and hearing me mutter "What the #$%^ does this $%^& want now?" Plus it gives a big feeling of lack of privacy.
I thought surely it was a fluke, so called my self via landline and found it happened about 1 out of 10 or 15 times.
My next thought was it was software - some 3rd party app or tweak had caused it, so I hard reset back to the default stock ROM and still had the same problem. I installed a few different cooked ROMs, and still had the same problem.
The next troubleshooting step is to rule out hardware. My brother and coworker also use a Wing. I tried the same test and found the same issue there, so it wasn't unique to my device.
I called T-Mobile support to see if there was anything they could do, and they gave me a few bonehead suggestions: swap sim cards, hard reset, make sure the battery is fully charged...
Since this issue occurs:
1. With a clean stock ROM
2. With different cooked ROMs
3. On multiple devices
I don't really know what can be done about this. All I can do is watch my mouth while my phone is ringing until the T-MO Diamond or whatever Android phone they release comes out...
Anyone have any ideas? All you other Wing owners may want to try this yourself, or ask someone who calls you often if they've noticed it!

oh wow no wonder.
its happend to me before.
but only once so im good.
thanks for clarification
This happens to me quite frequently. If you quickly put the phone to your ear when you answer you can hear your ringtone still playing, but hear the person on the other line as well. I think it's more along the lines of a delay in your ringer shutting off rather than the mic turning on.
Just my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong.

I do experience what you're describing, but this is different. If I leave the phone sitting on the counter, then somebody calls me, they can hear my ringer and anything going on around the phone even if I don't touch it.
It's like the phone mic occasionally turns itself on, and the caller hears the open mic instead of the normal dialing tone.

funny thing is i can actually believe that t-mobile said "make sure the battery is fully charged"

Isn't there a setting that says "automatically answer phone after 3 rings"? Could that be it?

But that's the thing... the phone isn't picked up. After about 30 seconds, it rolls over to voicemail and shows as a missed call...

My experience is that, when there is a call waiting call comes in, the speaker phone turns on by itself. You may check if you have the same situation. Your other side cannot listen to you because you are far away from your phone and the speaker phone cannot pick up your voice.

cheers mate thats sorted me out
I'm not sure if any of you are experiencing this problem, but I'm using a leancut ROM by ironeagle.
The problem is that there is always an echo on the other person's phone. The other person usually hears his/her own voice with a lot of distortion. It happens mostly with speakerphone, but even when it is off, the problem still occurs, but less.
Now my wife and I both purchased a Jade, but she has the original firmware and does not experience any of these problems. I thought she did until she told me she calls me with her cell phone sometimes and uses speakerphone.
What could this problem be?
Thanks guys
Echoing normally is a problem of the network, not the handset. It can change from cell to cell that means a few hundred meters away the situation can change.
Well, i've had the echoing every now and then with both original firmware and cooked ROM, and with both radio versions available for this phone.
Overall the sound quality isn't that bad, do you experience it with every call?

I have a look-alike phone, and I have exactly the same problem
I don't use the speakerphone, but the echoing happens very often (but not on each call).
It could be my network since I just switched to T-mobile and it isn't all that great. I just know it annoys some people I call because it can get unbearable at times
Yes, I do have this rather strange issue.
It happens rather often that when someone calls me, I can hear the speak or their background sound prior to answering their call...
Indeed, one might think that this is a great bug, that could be turned into a feature, but it's rather awful thinking that one might hear me speak, before he answers my call...
Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

EURM..... just don't speak when you're waiting for the other party to pick up the phone?

If you can hear what's going on at the other end of the line before you answer your call then you need to send your phone back to your manufacturer immediately.

could you please detail?
how would that help, since Vodafone will most likely exchange my phone to another HD2 which will probably have the same issue?
Moreover, in order to exchange, I'll need to demonstrate them this issue. And since it's not a regular-occuring issue (sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't), it will be hard to prove anything...

If you can hear what is going on at the other end of the line before you answer the phone (I assume you still have the ringtone at this point?) then that is a hardware failure and the phone needs to be replaced.
you could be paying for that time and as no-one else has the problem then your unlikley to get it as a recurrent fault on the next handset.

Got the same 'problem' I don't see it as a real problem though. You usually don't pay when you're the one getting called.

Agreed- if you can hear the other party before you 'answer' then it suggests the device is auto-answering. Once you can hear the other side, the line has connected regardless of whether you still hear the ringtone.
All WinMo devices have an 'auto answer' facility but it should only kick in when connected to a car kit, and even thgen only when specifically selected in Options.
This is not a common fault- indeed I've never heard of it before in any of my 8 years of supporting WM devices, so report it to Vodafone; at least it will then be on record that you have reported it.
Hello, i've got a strange issue with my Nexus 4. Sometimes, when i make or recieve a call, the signal goes down, but the call doesn't end. And i think that the person on the other side of the phone can still hear me, but i don't hear him. I must close the call and make a new one to keep talking. It happens a couple of times every day and it's very annoying. Does someone have the same issue?
