Odd phone calls

Any one else receiveing phone calls from random long distance numbers lately? They hang up as soon as I answer. But everyone I have talked to on Sprint is getting the same thing happening. It's happened 4 times to me today. 3 to my wife and 3 to her cousin. And a few other people.

Yeah I was getting that for about a month from two numbers then i put them on straight to voicemail. I think sprint sells our numbers to telemarketers

I actually think they sell our numbers too. For about 3 months I was getting calls from debt collectors asking for someone named "Laurie Wheeler", who I obviously am not. They kept calling no matter what I said to them (I even got so PO'd that I started swearing at them), so eventually I just asked Sprint to change my number. I haven't had any weirdass calls since.

I've not received any strange calls...LOL. You guys are wrongly paranoid about Sprint IMO.
My advice to you is to be cautious when including your phone number on any promotion, advertisement or to any company that may resell your information.
I had to opt out of solicitation recently when signing up electricity and gas for my house.. WTH?

A couple years ago they started allowing you to add your cell phone to the federal no call list. www.donotcall.gov I also have found that the call/hangup is very common from Capital One if you have an account with them. Just type the number into google and it will sometimes tell you who it is.

Its very common to get recycled numbers. I found this out when i was using prepaid services for a long time. Tmobile is notorious for this and sprint is as well. I would every now get a call asking for the same person from debt collectors. Call sprint and ask if your number is recycled from a overdue or past account.

Sprint likes to give out numbers before the mandatory 1 year holding period that is required after a phone number has been deactivated. When this happens, if the person before you is in serious debt and you get their number, the collectors will call you, call you and call you and will not stop, even if you tell them you will be contacting your lawyer for phone harassment because the person they're looking for is not YOU.

I kept getting calls from the same debt collection agency. They were looking for "Michael Vampas".

Most I ever got were a few spam texts saying that I should reply to get free something or another for 9.99 a month. I just ignored the texts and it stopped.

Seems like an Ohio outage. I have no issues in NYC.

Sprint Network Down for Text + Voice Nationwide

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/17/sprint-network-is-down-no-sms-and-voice-calls-for-some-of-you/
Ha. Their service just gets better by the day...not! Texting hasn't even worked for me for 2 weeks on 50% of the towers/places I'm at in the first place. :|

I knew something was up, I'd get a few notifications of voice mails arriving but no calls. This has been going on the past week and I couldn't figure it out.

Mine has been like that for a few weeks now, too...and data is still at, oh, you know, dial up speeds and 1x.
***It's only in a few places, but still nationwide, not just like 2 cities.

No issues here in Des Moines, Iowa. All services working just fine.

I'm not getting texts from certain people (carriers perhaps), and outgoing calls aren't working. I am integrated through google voice too, and any number in my contacts that is listed with a 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx tells me it can't complete the call because i'm out of credit.
never had problems before now. hopefully this all gets worked out.

Mine hasn't skipped a beat (that I know of) and I've tested it. I don't know. Seems fine here in the dirty Duval

Just from reading this thread, it doesn't seem like the majority - try again.
Btw - No issues here.
Oh, and why would I post about Verizon? You might be thinking of Award Tour no myself.

No issues here in NYC nor any issues communicating with my mom or brother back in Michigan so I'm calling BS on "nationwide".
Also, what network has never had an outage?
Precisely.

Is Sprint having service issues or something in NY right now?

The past few days I've been getting a lot of calls sent right to voicemail even though I have bars and a lot of my SMS messages are coming back as failed to send (though people are still receiving them).
I thought maybe it was an issue with CM9.1, which I just flashed, but my father's stock E4G Touch is having the same problems and he lives in the same area.
Anyone heard anything about Sprint having problems the last few days?

You can dial *2 and ask. They do give up that info. I was told my closest tower has been operating at 65% forever with no repair ticket out. That is why they gave me an Airave.

[Q] Verizon LG G2 call quality?

Anyone else on Verizon (or any other G2 variant) having call quality issues? Phone was fine until today and then my voice calls started to 'digitize' randomly, almost like there is a short in the speaker. Hopefully its just some weird network thing and not my phone.

My quality of audio during calls is not good at all. But then, I only get 1-2 bars at home where I've used it so far. Ordered a VZN Network Extender, hope that helps.
(Having to pay $250 and use my own ISP to get decent connections is a whole other topic!)

Nope... Scouted Craigslist and eBay for a week. Not a one to be had on Craigslist, and no "Buy It Now" offers on eBay. All the eBay prices were above $150 for used ones, and bidding higher and higher.
I hadda have one NOW, as my wife works out of our home office and all IT matters fall on me to fix.
(And please don't go and post a link to a "good deal" now, my Verizon order will be here tomorrow and you'll just make me feel miserable... thanks!)

There is a bug that produces that screech/digital sound every so often I think. There was a thread discussing it but I can't find it now.

I got that same crackle/screech today on a few calls. One was in a voicemail I received, where I assume that would be a clear message. I turned the volume down, and that seemed to help a little, but it was too sporadic to tell. This was when I wasn't on speakerphone. Don't know if it would occur on speakerphone too. But music turned all the way up seems to be fine, so I'm thinking it was the VZ network. However, I had 4 to 5 bars during my calls. I have another week on my trial period, if it continues, I may exchange for another one.
Regards,
Mike

Many of us are experiencing this and talking about it on androidcentral. Thread "Poor call quality verizon g2". This site won't let me post the link. That's one of the threads.
I'm waiting on verizon network engineers to analyze my calls and get back to me. I love the phone but will return it assuming they say nothing is wrong with the network. My backup is Moto X but then some have mic problems and I had to return one over that too.

im having like a digitized sound quality too, like when they air those test messages over the TV it sounds sort of like that, thing is im on TMOBILE!!
anyone think its an issue with this phone itself? im about to run down to tmobile and try switching it or testing another one.

I have great quality on mine, but it does depend on where you are located and your signal. Poor signal kill battery and gets that digital sound. All phones are susceptible to that, not saying that lemons aren't out there, but in general if you have 3+ bars it should be fine. Less than that and it still should be fine, but could periodically digitize.

I posted a thing about this very issue as well along with others. Mine does it too but only on WiFi calling. It sucks if you ask me. I think I may return this phone.

Didn't mean to thank you. Lol. But you and six other don't add up to many. But sad that you guys are having such issues. Sounds like a bad batch because all reviews reported good-excellent call quality. And there doesn't seem to be a uproar going on just a few seems less than a 100 so far who are having such issues.

Also are you in an area where you have 3g at least? Using other carriers towers can do that. Turn off all roaming and if you cannot get bars it's not VZNs fault. If you do then VZN needs to update the towers. Some mom and pop cdma carriers lend their towers for a small fee which is how vzn got its coverage.

Bad outgoing voice / good incoming voice
My problem is that others complain that they can't hear me on either the phone microphone or a handsfree boom mic. I had no problems with my rezound.
The sound coming from the speaker is fine---no digitization---and sounds great. Anyone else receive complaints from the person they are speaking too?

I have snap, crackle, and pop issue from time to time as well. I have had it both while on wifi and on 4G, but not on every call....

Voice Enhancement Fix
There is a voice enhancement option during calls if you press the menu button. I think it uses the top mic to do noise cancellation in noisy environments. Has anyone tired to fix the problem using this?

My Sprint LG G2 has been experiencing the clipping/chirping sounds since I got the phone. At first I thought it was my home phone since we use VoIP. But the problems started happening on all callers the more I used the phone.
My Voice Enhancement was actually unchecked. For the heck of it, I checked it and will see if that changes anything, but most people say it gets slightly better unchecked.

Just bought my wife this phone on sprint and she had this problem and her replacement has the same issue.
My note 3 had this same exact issue on 4 different replacement phones. Samsung issued a update 2 weeks after release to fix the garbled snap crackly calls. I don't think I have much faith in LG to issue a fix. Their track record sucks
