occaisonal Crakle in Ear Piece

Does anyone have a "crakle" sound in the earpiece - usually happens when someone speaks loud and the word starts with a p, b etc.
I've turned the volume down as it is quite loud.

hi,
im have the same problem the ear speaker is very loud and on my phone is the i and e ! i think the speaker is creaking... that too loud... have a Prof. a idea please ?? the volume is on dialog on Minimum.
thanks

Yes. I too have this problem.
when the volume is louder, the speaker creaks.
I have the same problem with my iPhone 3gs but with much higher volume.

Yes the ear volume is too loud.. They must make a fix for this

Is this think going to be fixed or should I drop my device ?
the HD I bought a year ago didn't have any of the HD2 issues

I have this problem, haptic touch vibration makes a strange rattling sound as well. I contacted VF and they said when they have more in stock they will send o new one to me......

anyone solved this?
Please can you tell if and how anyone solved the occaisonal Crakle in Ear Piece? Me too have the same problem with hd2 and latest rom allready on the device.It is very strange problem.

No fix as yet. No guarantees there will ever be! There is a thread concerned with this already.

So HTC was working on the SD card fix which was not even mentioned in the threads ( I did not notice someone really screaming because of it. maybe someone did but not as much as 8000 users ) which is a minor issue but they seem to ignore the crackling issue!!?? I did not receive any update since more than a month. Can someone please for god's sake contact them ? I said PLEASE because it's a major flaw...

My HD2 also suffers from the occasional crackle and sound distortion . Sound quality of my old N95 was far superior. Hope that its just a firmware issue and that an update will be released shortly. Generally happy with the phone overall though .

anyone get a hiss pulsating every now and then? its not everytime i take/make a call but just sometimes. its annoying! lol.

Yep, I heard it yesterday for the first time, not sure it was their all the time or that i had just noticed it.......all i know is that it drove me mad to the point that i had to hang up.

My first handset had the earpiece crackling, so I had it exchanged today. Sadly the new one also has this problem. I've called T-Mobile to see if I can get another exchange, but they'll only do one exchange and I've used that one up
I now have until next Tuesday (so Thurs this week thanks to Xmas bank hols) to decide whether to return or keep the phone.....Aaarrrrggghh!!!
I now understand why Vodafone dropped the HD2 from their line up. It's a great gadget for people like us, but just not finished enough to sell as a top of the range phone to the general public.

They all do it, it isn't that your particular handset is faulty. I've had two as well.

Ah, okay then. I had thought that I was just a bit unlucky. Hopefully there'll be a volume-fix out soon then.

I have same problem, hopping for a fix soon.

Bit of advice from users of the Arc

Hello all,
I just got the xperia Arc from o2 here in the UK. Actually got it last week - love it to death - but i did notice that the earpiece speaker...you know, where you put your ear when you have a call, it sorta rattled. Not all the time, but during conversations it would rattle randomly during the persons speech. I guess certain frequencies made it rattle is the correct term for it.
I also noticed this on the o2 top up line (its an automated service thing if you not sure what that is) and that had the same so it cant be down to the people talking into their microphone to close or something.
It wasn't unbearable, but it was there.
Tested same calls with my old HD2, and no rattle.
So I sent it back as faulty and am awaiting my new arc handset.
My question, is....this isn't an arc issue is it? I mean...its not normal right? all you other Arc users out here....dont have that prob. Right?
Please tell me I did the right thing and that i havent parted with my beloved Arc for no reason
I seriously do miss it...how can you become so attached to a damn phone huh?
Thanks for your time and any advice in advance,
Chris.

Not happened to me in a months use had a few echos but think that was just a bad line

I've not had a problem with that.

[Q] Person on call does not hear me when I first answer the call

When I answer a call, the person on the other line does not hear me if I speak as soon as I answer the call. Is any one else having this? I have to call someone, wait till they pick up, say hello, hello. They catch the second hello every time. I can't help but think this is not normal.

I've had that happen a few times.

This happens to me every time. My last two Android devices didn't do this.

Same here, but it happened on other phones I've had, so I'm guessing it's more of at&it's issue for me.

Happens to me too? Are you using a bumper?
According to my fiancé when I have the bumper on she misses my first hello when I answer. Naked N4; hears me just fine.

I'm having the same issue as well and I am using a bumper. Maybe I'll try without it. Thanks. I wonder if the op is using a bumper as well.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I am not using a bumper. Currently using an s line case. I do not think its the case as I do not change the level of my voice, just say hello twice and they always hear me on the second hello. I too have never had this issue with any of my other phones. But if others are having the same issue I will not try for a replacement. Just trying to see what everyone else has to say. I will start a poll to see if its just AT&T or T-Mobile as well.

is this infamous "hello hello" bug from Samsung Galaxy S?
https://www.google.co.in/webhp?sour..._qf.&bvm=bv.1354675689,d.bmk&biw=1366&bih=667

I have this issue and my phone is naked as a baby.

I'm having the same issue. First discovered problem yesterday when leaving messages for people and them complaining they couldnt understand my message.
Did an extended call test with my GF this morning at the house. I called her using my phone and she called me using my phone so we could both experience both ends of the call. The best way I can describe it is it sounds like a speakerphone conversation. The voice from nexus is muted unless speaking, and the unmute doesnt happen as soon as they speak but rather a moment after they begin speaking. I'm on TMobile.

same issue with me. Maybe is related to the buzz noize from the speaker during the call.

My speaker buzzes even when it's not in a call. If I just put the phone to my ear I can hear a small crackle...
To the OP: That seems weird. I wouldn't know about that for myself just yet, being that I haven't activated mine on any network. I'll be doing that when I get into work today. I still have a T-Mobile sim card there. Can't wait to test out the call quality and what not.

Yeah I have had it as well, I didn't think too much of it since I had the same problems on the iphone. It's pretty much a habit for me to wait a second and then say hello.

I apologize for bumping this thread, but did anyone ever figure out why this is happening? I have the same issue every time I get an incoming call. I'm using T-Mobile.

I noticed from a post in a similar thread that there was mention of a recent commit to CM, so I have a feeling that if that gets pushed in there sometime it'll most likely be fixed in the other ROMS in the time to come. Don't think there's anything you can do to fix it yourself- unless you're a developer.

I have the same problem. But I really don't care. People can wait

the latest cm10.1 nightlies supposedly have fixed this. I don't get a lot of calls so I haven't really checked.

Call problems

I have talked to 2 other g2 owners, both on Verizon, and they have the same problem. While on a call randomly the other person can barely hear me, it doesn't happen every call but enough to be considered a problem. Anyone else experience this and what carrier. I tweeted @lgusamobile to no avail. I am on my 2nd g2 and it still does it.

I'm beginning to wonder if it has something to do with Verizon changing the mic holes from 3 to 1?
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 4

Just started using my G2 today. Made a couple of calls and had no issues until this evening. Two calls in a row and the person I was talking to could barely hear me. So I put it on speakerphone and he could hear me just fine. I sure don't want to have to keep doing that. I'm on T-Mobile.

I'm hoping it's just a software problem, that eliminates my theory on the mic hole

Exactly what I started experiencing abotu 2 days ago. When I hold the phone with my chin (slightly slant) they cant hear me but when I hold it with my hand facing my mouth they can clearly hear me. its weird, what gives?

Ive noticed the same problem as well. I figured out last night that if I hold the phone higher on my face, so the ear speaker is a tad above my ear, people on the other end say I sound way better.

Sounds like LG has some call quality issues it needs to hammer out on these phones with software updates.

ok, add me to the list for call quality/clarity issues; i'm using an att stock, but rooted ROM. people i've talked to on my phone say i sound muffled, like my hand is covering my mouth. they can't understand what i'm saying. . called at&t - from my phone - to report the problem and the tech support person confirmed my issue. they're sending a replacement device overnight. i hope the new device does not have the same issues .

Yep, I'm also on T-Mobile AMD having the same issue

Hope the new device works for you, I'm on my second and the problem persists. It seems completely random, wish someone could figure thus out. LG, that means you.

sad to report that the replacement device i received today exhibited the same issues. chit! i'm really disappointed that the problem was still present. i was (supposedly) talking with a manager/tech who asked me to call him from my other phones (S4/HTC One) to see if he could hear the difference. to my disappointment, he said he could clearly tell how muffled i sounded on both of my G2s. another phone is on the way for me to test. fingers are crossed that the 3rd device will work.

I had this problem when my gf called me. She said i sounded very low and that i sounded as thou i was sick. That was the second day i got the phone. since i don't really use it for calls that much its not a worry. plus i past my days of return.

So if I'm correct the mic in G2 has strait direction and does not hear and amplify sounds going from other directions except nearby mouth voice. So I suppose people should fire voice recorder and tinker with recording self muffling some chatting and keeping mic in different directions. Then listen to what other part probably hear. Probably someone would find the best position for mic to record voice. Me thinks that it's a distinctive mic's feature &specificity so software update would never come being not needed in the first place

So then its not mic-related. Were you holding phone above a shoulder like when talking or display in front of face? or either way it records same?
If it's not mic than it's something AMR related. Probly on bad line and signal phone chooses AMR-NB instead of AMR-WB, does it?

well... received a 2nd new phone, spent another 45 minutes on the phone with another tech, testing the G2 and a HTC One only to have the same results: muffled voice on the G2. i have never, ever, ever had this kind of issue with Android device. i was given a case number (what ever that means) told to expect a call from another tech person and, that it's possible at&t might ship my phone back to LG. WTF!! apologies for my rant, just very disappointed. think i'm going to buy the T-Mobile version, unlock it and test on at&t.

No Call Sound Through Earpiece

Hey guys, so just yesterday I haven't been able to hear anything through the earpiece. Every time I receive a call, the person on the other end can hear me but I can't hear them. If I play through the speakers or if I plug in some earphones, then i'm able to hear sound but not through the earpiece. It's a huge inconvenience and just wondering if anyone has encountered this problem and what can I do to fix it?
Many thanks guys

On that one you should hear a high tone, if you don't you probably have damaged the normal earpiece.

Yeah it appears that way. I've sent an email to the shop I bought it from for a warranty claim so hopefully they'll repair it for me. I appreciate the help though man.
