Double hello/2 second delay when answering an incoming call on Nexus 4

This lag when answering an incoming call on Nexus 4 is really annoying. Regardless of which ROM.
Could it be network related or the device itself?
I am on T-Mobile. Anyone else on T-Mo experiencing this issue?
nope. what kernel are you using.
Yep. There was a thread about it a few weeks ago.

There was a recent commit to CM that may help this, it allowed for opening of the audio stream before the RIL had notified that the call was connected.

I didn't have this issue with G2 so I'm not used to answer lag. I can live with it I guess.
Used to happen on my desire HD think it is a jelly bean thing
I have also used giffgaff sim and Vodafone both do the same
Really annoying and such a simple thing should be sorted!
Glad other people have posted this cause I thought it was just me lol

I also think it has something to do with jellybean.. Had the same issue with any aosp ROM on my gs3...

It's not a nexus 4 nor jelly bean only issue. My wife's iphone 4 has the same issue, hello hello bug... Seems like a network, tower delay.. And it seems new.. At least my previous phones on the same service provider didn't have this..

+1 have say hello like 3 times .
I noticed its usually after the phone marks 3-4 seconds that's when the other person hears you...what can we do about this?
My Lil bro inlaw and my moms are all on the same account but they have a amaze and a sgs2. They don't have that problem...

same here, any update on this ?
Just chiming in - same problem here on carrier TDC in Denmark, stock ROM.
There's a bug report on it here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42525
So annoying, can't believe there aren't more ppl complaining about this :/
Stock rom + Franco Kernel here on rev 11
Having the same issues. Didn't notice this with my first nexus 4 got a replacement and every incoming call has a two to three second delay.
I have the same problem, it is very annoying, had plenty of smartphones before and none of them had this issue. Galaxy Nexus was my previous device and there was no delay. With Nexus 4 there is a delay and it is device related, or at least device combined with T-Mobile.
Seems like nobody at google uses this device, everyone just acts dumb like you are the only person experiencing the issue if you complain about it.
Just got the update to 4.2.2, and it seems to have fixed this problem for me.
Tested it a few times by calling the Nexus 4 from a land line, and voice came through almost instantly every time. At least as fast as you can lift the phone up to your ear after answering.

Thinking of selling my nexus 4 - Unlink from play account?

Hi everyone
As much as I love my nexus 4 I just can't ignore the earpiece buzzing so I'm thinking of selling it rather order RMA after RMA.
Question is can I remove the devices from my Google account so that they are no longer linked to me and whoever should purchase has no way of obtaining my information or abusing my Google play account?
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Factory reset.
Thanks.
What I actually meant was removing it from my play account so that when I go on play.Google.com and look at my orders and devices my n4 is no longer shown I.e. is completely removed from me?

Isn't there a way to remove it without having to reset my phone ? On the play store my old galaxy s ii and desire HD show up :/ I sols both of them , and reseted them , I don't have them anymore

just go to My Orders & Settings ->Settings and untick the show in menus option beside whatever phones you dont want to see.
Are you located in California? What is your asking price?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I think you should RMA the phone. Get them to track all these issues so that there may be hope they will permanently fix the problem. The new phone should arrive within a week or so. If you are still unhappy, then you can sell it. But at least you tried, and LG did not get away by selling an inferior product.

Anyone get a Nexus 4 as a secondary device?

First let me say that I am a happy note 2 owner. With that said there is something about the Nexus and pure android that intreges me. Also the price range for an unlocked phone is very good. Anyways I just want to know is there anyone that switches between two phones and how has that been working out for them.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I currently use Iphone 5 as primary and nexus 4 as secondary because I got the iphone 5 for free from work
i was switching from my GS2 to the N4 every other day....i just made the switch to N4....
the N4 for me was hardly ever crashing, true butter experience, had a really good weight and feel.
My GS2 was just too light and felt slippery....
The ROM experience was fun but going to stay stock on the N4 for now
I switch between my GS3 (US LTE version) and my N4. And when I carry both (keeping my S3 in my bag usually) I tether it to my n4 so my N4 can get LTE speeds
Yeah thats what I was think of doing. Like I said I love my note 2 but I am also a tech nut and ha e been resisting th urge to by a Nexus 4 for a couple of weeks lol.

I bought the Nexus 4 as a secondary device, due to the price. I liked it so much, it became my primary device, which surprised me. I tried switching back to one of my other devices, but I'm drawn back to the Nexus 4 every time.
Just out of curiosity what was the other device?

I use a note 2 for my primary personal on Verizon and an N4 for work on AT&T, best of both worlds. then come home to my N10

Nexus detected by anti theft security system

Odd things happen lately, no matter where I go with my nexus 4 anti theft systems at local stores like JC penny, Macy, old navy. Once I enter the store, the anti theft system beeps what the f**k? Or I leave the store. Anybody experiencing this?
I definitely can't say that I have

Nah, I don't think it's NFC, the maximum range is roughly around 10 cm, which is relatively short.
But what makes your think it's the Nexus that is triggering the alarm?
Well thought it was my vape at first. Its the phone in my op cuz happens to me and the wife she is stock I'm rooted. And its the only thing I'm my pocket when it happens JC Penny's old navy ross's k mart Walmart . its weird
Never had this happen nowhere in Germany. However I bought some boots once and months later in a random store the alarms went off. Showed one shoe was not unlocked when I bought it

Probably restore stock settings and lock my phone?

It does it to me on my rooted and my wife's stock nexus
This has never happened to me with either of my phones (N4 running AOSP custom rom or Atrix HD running CM11) or any of my past phones (iPhone 3GS jailbroken, Atrix 4G CM10), but my Surface Pro 2 does set off those things when going into my school library

The solution would probably be to stop hiding under your clothes the T-shirt that you grabbed from previous store!!
That would stop the noise ?

HD Voice on T-Mobile

I have the 98/33 radio with stock ROM and kernal running 4.4.4. I am rooted and have ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1 in my build prop. I went to a T-Mobile store and made a call from an S5 which has the HD indicator and it did not light up when I called or when I received a call.
I am at a loss as to if our nexus 4 is capable to have this work on T-Mobile.

sure. I get HD calls all the time, on my n4 and n5. it'll only happen if the other phone is connected to HD calling as well. when you called your phone from an s5, what didn't light up? the n4 doesn't have any kind of indicator, but you can hear the difference in quality.
What radio are u running? What are your settings? I verified with a phone S5 which has an HD indicator and it was not lit when I called it or received a call.

the .33/.84 hybrid radio(I use lte). no special settings, the lte apn. can the issue be on tmobiles end? you don't hear any difference(i mean it really is obvious when its connected)?
Why do u use the 84 hybrid and not some other? I heard the 98 was for kit Kat.

because i use my nexus 5 mostly. sometimes I'll use my n4 as a daily, but usually its the n5 as a daily and the n4 as a WiFi device. last week I used my n4 as my daily(phone) for a day and was getting slightly faster speeds on my n4 than my n5(64mbps download/21mbps upload). and I've never had an issue with the radio, so I keep using it. oh, and I'm using KitKat, 444(lichtis rastakat).
---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------
try using the lte APN, maybe it'll make a difference.
I've flashed the 84/33 modem and will test it out at a T-Mobile store that has a working S5. If the HD is working, the S5 indicator will show HD. That is the only way that I can verify if it is working.
SMS/MMS
I think the question should be who makes calls anymore
After going to a T-Mobile store which has a working HD indicator phone(S5), I can report that the nexus 4 does NOT support HD voice. I tried all of the radio combinations and the indicator would not work on the S5.
Unless there is a codec that can be installed, I don't believe our phone has the hardware to support this function.
I reserve the right to be wrong and hope someone can show me how and why I am!

just like I claim it does, so do they http://www.anandtech.com/show/6594/tmobile-announces-amrwb-hd-voice-calls-active-on-its-network
I placed a number of calls between T-Mobile users last night to try and gauge any perceptible difference. I've previously heard AMR-WB demos and run loopback calls on the Anritsu base station emulator, and there is a perceptible difference. I originated a call on a Nexus 4 and terminated it on a Nexus 4 with both on T-Mobile, which sounded excellent, and then between an iPhone 5 (attached to PCS WCDMA here in Las Vegas) and a Nexus 4, which also sounded very different than an AT&T AMR-NB originated and terminated call. I need to do more testing back home, but T-Mobile's claims that this is live right now and working seem credible, calls sounded crisp and much more intelligible than some of the AMR-NB calls I've been on.

I am basing my info on fact, not feeling. You need two working phones that support HD. The S5 displays if HD is working. It did not display when I tried all radio combos. I also tried the sine wave on some of the radios with nothing to report. If someone can report that the 2nd device they are testing has an HD indicator, and it does work, we can have a conversation.

maybe the s5 can't tell if its connected to a HD call with a nexus? I have a s4 as well as a n5. Samsung has some really crappy software for sure.
One of the reps in the store had an IPhone 5S and and it worked, so the only other reliable test is the sine wave.

All of this talk about HD, now I want to try it out too :fingers-crossed: even though I hardly make phone calls anymore...
Just like the whole 4K TV craze and 1440 x 2560 display resolution on phones...

Nexus 4 does not support HD Voice in hardware. It had a software support for HD Voice till 4.3 , then it was droped.
So, unfortunately, you will get no HD Voice on Nexus 4 with kitkat.
According to anandtech nexus 4 supports hd voice however it isn't on the T-Mobile whitelist. The nexus 5 however is.
From the link:
" I’m actually very impressed with how well the Nexus 5 performed at rejecting noise using the normal babble distractor track I use. In addition this was a T-Mobile AMR-WB “HD Voice” call between two Nexus 5s, illustrating that the Nexus 5 is indeed in the T-Mobile whitelist for HD Voice.
As an aside, the Nexus 4 oddly enough still hasn’t been green lit for HD Voice on T-Mobile, and given its age probably never will at this point, although the hardware is entirely capable."

I remember having this working a long ass time ago, (working with N4 to N4 calls) and some kind of upgrade killed it and it hasn't worked since. I'm now testing with N4 to N5, and can't get it to work. I can test the N5 with other phones and it sounds clear as day different, but the N4 just doesn't work.
I've tried flashing these custom radios on my stock 4.4.4, even modded the build.prop, yet I can't get the thing to work. Anybody else able to get it working?
