I had my LG G2 for one week now, and I'm getting noises in call reception that sounds like the old wireless house phone swapping channels and other electronic unidentifiable noises. On the receiving end sounds like I'm in a tunnel or some weird noise as my Wife says. Anyone having reception problems, or other issues with the LG G2 Verizon phone.
I'm having the same thing!

I've heard something about it being a network thing. Just verizon people talking. All they want to do is get me to swap to a Droid phone. Got till the 10th of Oct. May go to the Galaxy Note 3.
Found a thread on android central with other users reporting similar issues. It doesn't seem to be the device but rather which towers it's connecting to because some users have exchanged their phones multiple times with the same result. I've found that the problem goes away if you use speakerphone. Hopefully someone figures out a solution.

no issue here.
some user suggest tinkering with noice cancellation, on and off.
That having said, volume, and accidental covering of microphone that does voice cancellation could all be factors.
last but not least, try finding out if you switch codec someway, on old phones that was the trick
Very common issue with LG G2's. Take it back before your 14 day return period expires!
Haven't had more than a be 10 minutes of talk time but no issues with mine yet.
Global network setting
It seems my phone defaults to Global network settings when I have done factory resets. Whenever on this global setting, the phone has trouble connecting to calls, call reception, even MMS seems to taken longer than normal.
Go to Settings > Mobile Networks > System Select > Network Mode > select LTE/CDMA
Try LTE/CDMA. This solves my problems.
I have had Zero issues running on a 4g LTE network. My phone is the VZW VS980

I'm assuming you didn't have the static type noise the OP described? I've been using LTE/CDMA and still have the noise. Wonder how long it'll take to find a fix...

I posted about the same thing earlier (post titled "Issues with static, crackles, pops, and squeals during calls"). I can deal with some of the noises but the squeals actually hurt my ear. GRRR. Anyway, as I mentioned in my post I'm on my 3rd G2, from my local store in FL and drop shipped from TN, and all have the same issue. I have a 30 mile daily commute and I have this issue regardless of where/when I make or receive the call (including from within the VZW store to the store) and what carrier or landline I'm connecting with. Verizon networking says everything is fine on their end.
I've posted on several message boards and have had a smattering of responses from people having the same issues. Most have just returned their phones. I haven't decided yet whether I will; Verizon has no other phones that, IMHO, are comparable at this time.

I bought a dash 3g!!!
but.... it had an issue with a clicking sound every so often on the other end of the call, several people reported hearing the same sort of sound. i called my phone and could hear it as well, its like a switching channels kinda sound.
I tried everything i could think of, turning off 3g, turning off bluetooth, trying with or without the headset, new sim card, moving to many different locations, but still it kept happening so i exchanged it and twice viola! same thing on 3 different phones...... am i alone on this guys???
Have you tried turning off voice privacy in the settings? It's possible that for whatever reason that is toggling on and off and could explain the click. By the way, next time try having a more descriptive topic name and using fewer question marks and exclamation points.

ok i dont see any options for that over there.... any other ideas
to get to ur voice privacy settings :
settings > phone > more... > "voice privacy" - disable it, and see how that works out.
If this is any help, I'm in Europe with an original HTC Snap.
No voice issues like you described. Sound is loud and clear.

voice privacy is a old feature is only on cdma network technology phones... still having problems here guys
not sure if it's just your area or not but i'm using a 3G dash in southern california w/ no audio issues (3G or GSM)
T-mobile is currently investigating 3g network issues in my area (Detroit metro area) because i have the problem with all tmobiles 3g phones, the old dash worked fine
My v20 drops all calls between 2 and 4 minutes in, and usually around the 3 minute mark. The call drops, signal goes to zero, and a moment later I get a toast message saying "Loading SIM card contacts..." and then I can immediately dial back in.
WiFi calling is disabled, though the setting being on or off doesn't seem to make a difference. I've cleaned the SIM card and added tape to the back to ensure good connectivity - no change. I also went to T-Mobile and they replaced my SIM on the spot but it immediately happened again in the store and in front of the clerk when we tried a call. They've suggested a warranty exchange.
One interesting thing I've found though is that disabling VoLTE calling fixes it entirely - it no longer drops calls, but of course there's no HD voice and I can't use band 12 and they're already cutting back on HSPA coverage.
Haven't found anything else useful via Google or XDA. Even with VoLTE enabled there are no data drops, VOIP calling via hangouts works fine. Anyone have any ideas short of a full exchange? Not rooted and while the LG backup app is pretty good, I really don't want to go through the day-long process of restoring everything if I can avoid it.
Hey there! I had the same issue, exchanged the phone for a new one, and STILL have the same isssue! Did you ever find another fix? This is so annoying and I cant believe a bigger deal isn't being made of it.
Something wrong with ur

Been owning V20 for about 5 weeks now. The first 3 weeks were pleasant until I started seeing dropped calls. Disabling VoLTE did not help. Changing sim card wouldn't help either.
I'm having similar issues H915 Freedom Mobile.
Was roaming on AT&T in the US when I first did the update. And everything was fine till I was home and on Freedom.
When Wi-Fi calling is enabled. It makes no difference if mobile preferred or VoWIFI preferred is selected. It enables either way after reboot or turning Wi-Fi adapter off and on again.
Incomming calls frequently don't come through regardless of whether vo wifi is on or off. Texts same problem. And persists sometimes on cellular and sometimes on VoWifi.
Get SIM errors, signal drop constantly. And have tried everything I can think of to rectify the issues with zero success.
Anyone with Freedom having similar issues? Or any suggestions I might not have thought of that may be the the cause?

Can anyone suggest the best way to test cell signal on the S7 Edge? My wife and I both have the same phone, but hers consistently seems to report more bars in the same location. I've had calls drop quite often on the first dial and then they stay connected the second time I call. I'm looking to test both phones and see if it's all in my head or if there really is an issue with my device. Any help would be appreciated on an app to use or other way to test the two phones. Thanks.
did you try phone info fromthe play store.
under monitor it will tell your signal strength. I believe through its service menu you also preform a signal test.
Yeah, but those numbers don't mean anything to me. Other than saying moderate for level, it doesn't say much.
Edit: My wife is not home right now, so maybe I'll install this on both phones and see if there is a difference in the same location;. Just wondering what options are out there for testing.
when you look i phone info under signal strength the number tells how good your calling capability is,
It is measured in dBm.
average should be should be around -101 dBm for full bars depending on your provider.
compare it with your wife's signal strength.
Keep in mind that software plays a part, please check that base band version and csc is the same.
Different base bands and csc means that signal strength can vary.
These should be identical as these two items communicate with your phone provider re reception and transmission.
Phones are both stock. Same provider and same software version. I'm pretty sure I've got reception issues because of the dropped calls. Like I said, she's not home right now to test, but in looking at bars previously, she always seems to have more bars in the same location as me. My phone in our condo here is always around -111 to -120 (LTE). That is right on the cusp of bad from what I can tell. Not sure where to go from here. Really don't want to do a factory reset, but I've read it can help clear up problems like this. Not sure how. Might be a lemon, as I've only had the device since February.
i suggest you call your provider and ask them to reset your phone on their system.
It might cause a difference because of flushing out of any information that may have been related to issues on your account.

Hmmmm...not sure what this is or what it would do. Never heard of such a thing.
Just got another dropped call. Signal was about -114. I placed a call. While it was connecting, the signal went to about -130 and then to -102 and then dropped. On a second attempt, the signal went to -97 and it connected fine.
Normally when you call your provider to report a problem with your phone.
One of the things they do is to reset your account in case there is an issue in your file as well as doing other tests.
It is similar to you cleaning the cache on your phone from time to time as bits and piece of old files then to slow down your phone.
Try to swap the SIM cards and check what happens.
So this is an older thread, but the issue had been ongoing. Lots of things tried. New sim. Called Rogers (my provider here in Canada) and had them reset mobile connection settings on their end. Tried resetting on my end. Seemed to get better and then back to being an issue again.
Lately it had gotten worse. When I would drive home and park in our parking garage, I would immediately go into roaming mode and was no longer connected to the Rogers network. I was then connected to Rogers-EXT because I had enabled data roaming on my device, from a previous call to Rogers, it was their suggestion to try and keep connectivity, as it is included in my package. The phone would stay roaming as I rode the elevator and into my condo and then usually connect to WiFi and then eventually reconnect to the main Rogers network. Meanwhile this never happened on my wife's S7 Edge, going the same route from her vehicle. Same device, exact same settings, same software version, same updates, etc. Her's never entered roaming mode or got disconnected from the main Rogers network.
Lately, when mine had been entering roaming mode and after I entered my condo, it would stay connected to Rogers-EXT. No matter what I did, a reboot, turn roaming on and off, etc. I had to physically remove myself from the LTE network and then reconnect and register with the network, and then I would connect to the main Rogers network and stop roaming. This was all getting damn frustrating, especially since the same thing was not happening to my wife's phone.
One setting I had not read much about and had not tried was VoLTE. I went into settings and turned this off. I immediately started getting a bit better readings on signal strength as well as no roaming issues any longer at all. I could park, ride the elevator and get into my condo and stay connected to the main Rogers network without issue, exactly like my wife's phone. Funny thing is, VoLTE is ON, on my wife's phone.
I really have no idea why her's works and mine doesn't, other than a hardware issue on my device. I thought about sending my phone in, as I'm still under warranty until the end of December, but right now, everything is working as expected and I haven't heard call quality suffer at all, with the calls I've made so far. I really didn't want to have to wipe my device and send it in and deal with a loaner if I didn't have to. I only plan on keep the device until about August of next year anyway.
If anyone out there knows of why this was happening to my device and not hers or if you have any other suggestions as to how to fix this and re-enable VoLTE (although I don't think it's really that important), please let me know. Again, it sure seems like a hardware (antenna) issue to me.
Aaaaaaaaand nevermind. Worked fine for about 3 days and today it was roaming again after coming up from the parking garage. Ugh. Wish I knew for sure this was a hardware issue. Such a pain to send your phone in, use a loaner, set your phone all up again when you get it back.
Have been using this phone for about 1 year and 2 months now. Used a multitude of ROMs as well. Disregarding the different battery lives and heating issues, some problems remain consistently.
When on call, be it a WhatsApp audio call or regular cellular one, after talking for a while I start having network issues.
1. I can hear the person but the other can't
2. I can't hear the person but the other can hear me
3. Audio breaks up between us
4. There is no audio
This only happens in long calls, say over 7 or 8 minutes. Also, doesn't happen always but majority of times. Problem persists in both device mic and headphone mic.
Sometimes others tell me they get my number unreachable or engaged, but in that time I have full bars of network and am not in another call.
It happens with all network providers I've tried, namely Airtel, Vodafone, Aircel, Reliance Jio. And I am almost always on Wi-Fi, so I don't think there is any issue of data messing up calling. And also I always have full bars.
Went to the service centre a few months back as well, they did something after which the call quality did improve, but other problems are still there.
Any ideas on what my problems could be and should I go to the service centre again and pay or get it checked out by a local repair shop??
All ideas are welcome.
Thank you.
So, when I woke up this morning I noticed my cell signal strength icon was one I haven't seen before. I tried rebooting and toggling airplane mode. I also verified that my sim is working in another device. I attached a screen cap with the icon.
Noticed something similar with mine. I had to turn wifi off, restart to get LTE data (verizon) then turn wifi back on. If restarting with wifi on the LTE data doesn't register.
that didnt work for me
update: had to factory reset, looks like verizon doesnt like that essential ph1 wont take all their bloatware, etc. might have to return the phone if this keeps up
My data connection has also become very erratic - and I've lost voice+data (VoLTE connectivity) wholly yesterday. Worked fine with the activated SIM from my HTC 10 from the 31st to yesterday.. Now, not at all, I've not been able to restore it since.
Really don't want to return it, as I really like the phone, but this has nexus 5x issues written all over it for long term use...
Hoping essential can get a certification and an agreement with Verizon before my return window is over (or at all)..
Pretty disappointed in Verizon here.
Sent from my PH-1 using XDA Labs
Same here, another issue is that essential shipped my phone and within a day i had an email from essential saying that verizon certification is still in progress. verizon will probably not certify it with their system unless essential lets them install their monitoring crap all over the phone.

The Nexus 6P didn't have the bloat and worked fine.
My PH-1 works fine including Enhanced 4G LTE Mode.
What do you have selected for network type?
I have the first one selected because that's the only one that includes the various CDMA protocols, EVDO and LTE.
I see the same connectivity that I had with my Nexus 6P.
i have global selected, as it covers everything the phone can connect to. i had the first one selected but it wouldnt show the lte+, just regular lte. i also have Enhanced 4g lte mode on. it just happened to lose service earlier today. if it does it again, ill probably return it after a visit to vzw

I have the same settings as you, I had functional "enhanced 4G LTE" for the first 4 days as well... That ended yesterday morning abruptly, and I'm not able to bring it back.. There's more happening here.. How long has your device been on the Verizon network? Only a hunch - in a few days you won't have "enhanced 4G LTE" either, even though it'll still be checked, and provisioned for it.

Cellular network is not available
After 7 days my phone won’t make calls I can only use data I’m on sprint and it was working fine until today I call sprint they had no answers at all I email essential no answer now I can only use WiFi calling while home and axx out at work
So, upon further digging I found a place to look at some more in-depth stuff relating to signal stuff. I did some fooling around and switched it from unknown to lte/cdma/umts auto (prl) and it seemed to work after a few moments of time. Though it seems have gone back to t he unknown state again but is working normally for me now, so maybe it was changing states and then a reboot?
How I got to this screen was by punching *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer, and went to phone info
I'm having a similar issue. I often lose my signal. I will have the full triangle/bars but no label of the signal(LTE+/LTE/3G/1x/etc....) and no cellular data at all.
The only way I can get it to return is to restart the device. Happens a few times a day, can't be 100% sure why, but it often appears to be when switching from WiFi -> Cellular only.
I have Verizon, I have had a Nexus 6 and then a Pixel XL for the past 3 years, never once had this issue.
I had constant disconnects and lost of service with my Tmo sim. Tried my Xfinity (VZW) sim and it was great until this morning. Complete lost of service. Airplaned mode on and off, connected to old school RTT 1x.... lol This phone's cellular just plain suck for a lot of us regardless of carrier. Not sure if we just have bad phones because apparently there are those who claim they have great service and connection.
I'm having this problem with Verizon. Seems like if I'm on wifi for a long period it only connects to 1x and putting in airplane mode and stuff won't get it to re-connect to to LTE. Only a reboot seems to fix the problem.

Necro post here but chiming in that I have the same problem with Verizon LTE. Happens when I'm moving long distances in car too. Suddenly just drops LTE and only a reboot will bring it back.

You might check out my post from the Oreo Beta thread... I was having some goofy signal issues early on which I've pretty much cleared up by doing what I mentioned here. Someone touched on it briefly earlier but only mentioned monkeying around with the settings, said nothing about picking up a new PRL.
I state this in that post too, but just in case: I offer this with no express intent of warranty, if you screw up your device, it's on you.

I just changed it from global to LTE/WCDMA and I got LTE back almost immediately. Was weird and global had been working for me for awhile now so not sure what happened in the past few days...

I had, right after writing this, tried *#*#4636#*#*
I set it to global as instructed in another post. The next time I drive a distance in the car I'll have to see if I have the same issue that only a reboot would fix again.
Thanks
I had the same issue and I resolved it a little differently than the previous posters. I turned on adb debugging and logged into adb shell and user-disabled com.redbend.app. This stops the Sprint oma-dm service from running. After doing this I no longer have the issue of my device not reinitializing lte after sleep or 3g.
I have essential on vzw but my only issue is my device won't connect to 4G. If I change network to LTE I get full 4G service but I'm unable to make phone calls. Went into vzw store and they told me you didn't get the phone from us so we cant help you. Day 14 fml
On Xfinity mobile, I had similar issues. Great LTE but sometimes calls just don't work at all. I mess with various settings and it'll work for a bit then so again. Gave up and ported over to Sprint for the free unlimited year which is still probably not worth it. Should've kept with Xfinity Mobile. Lol
