This noise happens randomly right after me or whoever calls me presses "dial", so before even connecting and can be heard on both ends. Duration is random from 5-30 seconds and doesn't resolve after connecting.
I've tried rebooting and various "baseband selections" but to no avail.
The only "solution" I've come so far is to just let it has it's 30 seconds of glory.
Here's a video, so you don't have to download anything:
Notice how at the end one dial tone comes through.
That's what I currently have: CM10-20130220-NIGHTLY-mb526 by Quarx.
This noise was noticed by me with earlier ROMs too.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Let's try this one more time...

Use 2G?
Possible solution:
settings / more... / mobile networks / use only 2g

I have a G4 prophet (Orange UK) which I have had for about 3 years now. Over time I have upgraded the ROM and so on and noticed an annoying bug that would tend to develop over a period of time using the phone.
My speaker will turn off until I restart the phone due to a number of things:
1. Just using having the phone on for 2-3 days.
2. Sometimes randomly dialling a number with the keypad.
3. Doing some kind of command that will make a sound, i.e. screen tap or play music.
I know the speaker isn't broken since I can get the sound back immediately if I restart the phone. It also isn't a problem with the headphone jack since I have tried fiddling with the jack and I can still hear through the earpiece. Another weird thing is that I can put the phone on speaker phone whilst making a call and it comes through the speaker!?! This is really annoying since any alarm becomes silent and I often miss calls!
I have tried numerous hard resets and it still presents itself either after a few minutes or hours of using the phone.
Could it be a problem with the ROM (I have tried many other ROMs) or radio?
ROM OS 20.5.61.33 WWE
Radio/GSM 02.19.21
Protocol 4.1.13.09
SPL 2.g4.4pda
IPL 2.10.0001
Thanks, P
I can now easily reproduce the problem:
1. enter the phone dialler and keep on pressing numbers (about 30-40 times) until the keypad tone stops sounding.
From this point onwards only a reset will bring back the system sounds (keypad tones, alarm, ring tone, tap sounds etc...)
What is strange is that the speaker will still work to play music or use the speaker phone during a call.
This is driving me crazy!
[edit]
I've tested this about 10 times now and i need between 50-52 key presses before the sound turns off!
a Possible Solution
This may solve your problem without resetting every time the sound stops.
Open Start Menu
Open Settings
Open Phone (in Personal tab)
Just click OK now (to close this window)
Check the sound.
Works for me
I've flashed my phone with the latest firmware from the HTC site. It's connected to 02 but i'm having major problems with data connections and actually just getting the phone to answer calls.
If I ring the phone, the majority of the time it just goes straight to voicemail but sometimes the phone will ring, it seems to be very random. Data connection is iffy as well where sometimes i'm able to browse sites and other times it just errors.
Has anyone experienced this? Is it a phone configuration problem or is my handset faulty? It does get very warm at the bottom of it when the screen is on. Is that normal?
cheers

I think I have similar problems.
I've noticed a slight increase in calls redirected to voicemail.
Also, my HD keeps dropping data connections. Sometimes I can just reconnect using the settings tab, but sometimes a soft reset is neccessary.
Very irritating, and I was really hoping for a quick fix.
As the title says, when somebody calls me on one of my sip numbers and I'm on wifi I need to put the phone on speaker a number of times before I can start hearing anything from the call. After that it works but it might lose audio again at some later point and cycling the speaker setting brings it back.
I haven't noticed this before 4.4.2 and I can't reproduce it while on 3G. Any ideas?
Actually phone also directly drops the call or even reboots from time to time while doing this. Cool software, bro.
As a late update - I followed Samsung support's advice and reset the phone to factory defaults (from recovery) - then only installed a minimal set of programs and modified a minimal set of options. Receiving sip calls is still buggy or causing the phone to reboot.
Hi all,
I've owned my S4 for a year an a half and out of nowhere started experiencing a huge issue today.
I have no audio whatsoever - earpiece or mic - when making a cellular call. I dial, and the call goes through (the other party receives the cal), but I have no audio. Even when plugging in a headset, still no audio. Incoming calls exhibit the same problem.
When connected to bluetooth, I do have audio + mic through the bluetooth device. As soon as I disable bluetooth, the issue returns.
All other apps/audio work fine - VOIP, texting, data... I can make Hangouts calls and the earpiece and microphone work.
I've rebooted the phone; that worked for a few minutes then the problem came back. I also did a battery + microSD + sim card pull, that fixed the issue for probably 30 minutes, then it returned.
I also flashed a new rom just to see if it would fix it - it didn't. Removed microSD, no fix.
I'm running Stock GPE 5.1 and have been for many months with no issues whatsoever, then this creeps up out of nowhere today. I've done some searches and other people have had the issue but I can't seem to find a definitive fix. Some report faulty SIM reader, but I have no problems otherwise with my SIM, and BT calls work so that would seem to rule that out?
Has anyone had this issue and/or fixed it?
Best,
-Dirk
OK so it appears to be hardware!
While making a test call, I took the back cover off and moved my finger around the upper area of the phone - near the SIM card slot - and applied various amounts of pressure. The in-call audio returned! However if I jostle the phone a bit, I lose audio. So some sort of connection in that area is loose or fraying or something.
Has anyone else had a similar issue? Perhaps tightening things would fix?
Hi all,
I have a bone stock Moto G4 running Marshmallow and have been experiencing an intermittent problem when receiving calls, where neither I nor the caller can be heard. It's as if both of us have our mute buttons on, or as if neither of our speakers is working. The phone rings audibly and the call is logged correctly when I answer it, so evidently the call is "going through". All other sounds play normally; only in-call sound is affected.
When this happens, if I immediately call the person who called me, the call goes through and we can each hear each other fine; i.e., the problem only occurs intermittently on inbound calls.
If I reboot the phone, the problem goes away but eventually comes back.
I've seen numerous reports of "no sound during calls" posted here and elsewhere but most of the posts I've seen are pretty old, and don't seem to apply to my phone.
I posted this question over on the Lenovo site but I haven't gotten any responses so I thought I might also check with the experts here.
Thank you for any help.
Inbound Intermittent Call Ring
Hi,
I have a Zenfone 3 Max ZC520TL, with Android Nougat and the latest firmware (14.14.1808.121) running on T-Mobile network...
For the longest time I've had an issue with incoming calls most of the time going directly to voicemail, no matter how many bars I have...
I've been researching this for sometime now and most blogs (after they recommend advice on fixing the issue), want you as a final resort to do a backup and perform a Factory Reset...which people say didn't work, so that's wasted time...
I have an extremely easy fix for this which will take you about 30 seconds...
All you have to do is change your 'Preferred network type' from 4G to 2G...you can do this by going to: Settings/More/Cellular networks/Preferred network type...tap Preferred network type and choose 2G...that's it!!! Your phone will now ring every time there's an incoming call unless the number is blocked...
By choosing 2G, you may lessen the internet download, upload, movie and video watching speed and image download speed in texts but increase the signal range...I personally am willing to give up image in text speed to receive incoming calls with no issues...
If you want to download or upload or watch movies and videos from the internet or download images in texts instantly, just change the 2G setting back to 4G temporarily...
I hope this post helps and saves others from spending hours looking for a fix for this issue.
Cheers,
Vinny
