Mic delayed when receiving calls ? - Optimus 7 General

Hi everyone,
so far im quite happy with the LG Optimus E900 (Despite the lower Signal Quality/Strengh compared to other phones).
One thing bothers me though:
I noticed that every time i receive a call, accept the call, put the phone to my ear and say "Hello". I get no response from the caller. So I asked what the hell is wrong with them. They said: "Woah, dude...we didnt hear you say "Hello" but now we can hear you perfectly.
I've done some tests and its not the signal. The first ~1-2 seconds you dont hear a thing. So I remembered a HTC Android phone that has a "feature" that "delays" the call or the mic when you accept the call (by pressing the button) so you would have enough time to putt the phone against your ear.
I'm thinking that the LG has something similar. How to turn this crap off ? MFG Menue ?

This isn't something I notice with my Optimus 7.
I've certainly experienced it previously with my friend that's got an android phone though (not using my Optimus 7).

Same with my Optimus 7... Would be nice if there was an option to turn it off.

I have this same issue, and it's annoying.
After the firmware update, my speech quality is improved, but my batterylife is cut in HALF. Do you have this issue ?

Could you provide the "about" info on your device? I thought it was because of the Mango BETA 2 i'm using...

i have same problems to.
I am runing NoDo on my device

I have an out-of-the-box Swedish device and I have noticed the same thing - the microphone takes 1-2 secs to be active. Not a big deal but a little annoying since I keep forgetting it...

picking up the phone takes time

I have the german T-Mobile MDA-Pro with D1. (whytf can't I specifly that in my profile ?) I experience some strange thing with it. When I pick up the phone when someone calls me (by pressing the green phone button) it takes a while until the other side can hear me.
So whenever I answer a call (by pressing that green phone button) I will have to wait 5-8 seconds after the buttonpress until I say something or else the other side wont hear what I say and still thinks I havent answered the phone yet.
Yes! indead...I've got the same problem. is it a software bug?
I too have the same problem, and sometimes it hangs up the call even when I press the green button.
I've posted before and everyone has said 'Use the search'...I have and can't find anything relevent (don't think the search facility of this is very good).
Can someone PLEASE point us.
I really do miss the speed and efficiency of my XDA2s!
I have had some experience of this, it does delay mine was worse before I got rid of all th O2 tat, it is now liveable with, however it is cutting off when I press the answer button !!! OR IS IT after conducting tests using another mobile I found out that
1) the phone does not take very long before O2 divert the call to Voicemail
2) the phone starts ringing long before you know anything about it (its worse if the phone is asleep) it can be a good few seconds before it makes any indication noises
3) it carries on playing the ringtone after the call has been diverted which gives the impression that pressing the answer button is futile.
I have talked to the technical suppport of t-mobile germany and they told me they era aware of this issue and they will be releasing an update in Q12006 that will resolve this issue.

I too have this problem and for the moment while i await any future fixes from O2 or others, i am using the following short-term fix; Under phone settings I have changed the delay period before calls are forwarded to ansafone if unanswered (this works on O2 anywa). One problem with this is that callers may give up before they are diverted to ansafone if you set the delay too long
did this really resolve the issue I was talking about in my initial post ? (that when I pick up the phone by pressing the green button the caller can not hear me for the fist 10 seconds )
I have XDA Exec and kept getting confused why my GF always sounded confused and puzzled when I answered the phone, Id say "hello" and she would wait a while, then say "Hello? you there?"
I never realised it was MY phone that was cutting off my voice at the start of the call.
In regards to the delay ringing, and answering etc, I am giving all my friends instructions to bloody well keep ringing! I turn answerphone off normally as my phone is always on. If you want to speak to me, keep ringing till i answer, if I dont want to talk, ill reject the call.
Why ring twice and hang up? I could be doing anything that takes more than 2 seconds to get that damn phone out of my pocket, get it out the case, open it, see who is calling, press the button, damn, missed call.
Same problem here. I am seriously thinking about using this as just a PDA. I don't think it's practical to use a phone that only works some times. Somebody on HoFo said that the Universal isn't meant to be used as a phone, it can, but it isn't meant to be. I'm starting to agree.
I just like the idea of not having to carry around a phone AND a pda. I kind of hoped that's what the universal offers. But it kind of looks like it doesn't ...
Its a great phone when used as a hands free device, answers almost straight away, and has great volume unlike most hands free - my callers also comment that the line quality is excellent even if a few metres away from the phone.
I do always feel stupid though when using the phone as a standard phone, would feel more comfy putting a brick to my head.
I use the old phone ringer as my incomming call notifictaion and I hear my phone in plenty of time. The standard o2 incoming notification sound was useless. I don't know what T Mobile have but might be worth trying a different notification sound.
Cheers

Did anybody found a solution for this? this is very annoying.
Agreed, its just ridiculously slow - I worry whether or not I've hung up on people too, it takes a good few seconds before the line is actually dropped, let alone for the interface to update.
I've stopped using the "suspend" option and the phone seems to work like you'd expect (even on a cheap cell phone!). But the battery life is suffereing. Hopefully my new spare battery should be here soon.

You mean I should walk around with some spare batteries in my pockets. :wink:
I think my pockets are too small for so many things.
Does anybody knows if this problem is known to HTC? Is there going to be an update?
It isn't possible that a phone doesn't act like a phone in these features that are already working 100 years. I want to pick up my phone and talk immediatly
By the way how do I switch off the "suspend" mode?
What is the "suspend" mode and how do I switch it off?
Look at Settings>Systems Tab>Power>Advanced Tab
Uncheck to "Turn off device if not used.."
This will stop the "suspend" mode
eeek ! Now I know why I would need an extra battery ....

Warning Wing owners: callers can hear you while phone rings!

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!
Ryan
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...

Calls problem

Hi all. Do u have this same problem with your x1 like me? When someone is ringing me and i answer the phone then sometimes i cant hear hear his voice and he cant hear me either in 1st few seconds. After 2, 3seconds is normal.
I tryed few differend roms and this same problem. Is it something wrong with the phone, or this is normal in x1????
please raply yes or no.
Yes it's normal in X1, no there is nothing wrong with the phone.
I have the same problem. I am used now and wait for about 2 seconds before I say 'hi' When I call someone or when I get called and press the green button, it takes a few seconds before the person hears me. I think that it's normal in X1, but it is quite irritating. My opinnion about X1 is that the phone is really nice to use different applications but the calling performance is below average.
These are few things that I don't linke about the x1 (beside the problem that its mentioned in this topic):
- calling volume is too high, even when I set the volume to lowest level. People next to me can hear the person who I am speaking. (So, I don't mention the speaker on the left-bottom, but on the top.)
- The speaker on the bottom is really on a bad place. You can easily cover the speaker with your finger or handpalm. If that happens, you can't hear the sound.
- The microphone of the standard headset is really bad quality. The person can't hear me well.
- When I put the headset on and someone is calling me, the ringtone rings both on the headset and the speaker of the x1 on the bottom.
thank u very much. i`m glad someone reply on my post.

In call sound help

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.

Can't pick up calls lately

Hi
I'm not sure why I'm experiencing this lately but I use my LG G2 phone normally (surfing and listening to music...etc) but whenever I get a call and I try to swipe to pick the call, I found no response at all. As if I'm NOT doing any swipe at all and I end up missing the call. This happened many times losing calls for just not having a non-working touch screen whenever I get a call. This is driving me mad and I feel like I went totally wrong getting an LG instead of any other famous brand name like Samsung or HTC.
Any ideas are very well appreciated as I'm not quite ready financially to dump this phone yet!

This might be a stupid question, but do you have this problem when you are already using the phone? When you are using the phone already you don't swipe the screen, but you just press the answer button.
Lately I have the same problem. The phone and the touch screen is working correctly in every other situation.
The problem is only when I try to pickup the phone after around the 2nd ringtone. At that point the screen freeze. The buttons are still working, I can turn the screen on / off with the power button and mute the ringtone with the volume.
Anyone had resolved this issue?
