I potentially really like the idea of the phone answering by bringing in to your ear. On my phone, though, I have to bring it my ear and then speak something before it answers and then I have to say hello again for the person calling to hear me. Is that how it works for everyone?
I've use it a few times and that's my experience as well.
a nice feature is to have your phone vibrate when the call is answered, that way you know when to say hello, there is a setting for that.

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!

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...

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.
I have my shadow for a while and well, when ever I make calls and get calls I can barely hear them. I was wondering if there something wrong with it or if I could activate like a hearing aid or something.
-Thanks
Hello, My HD2 phone has weirdest issue, when someone calls me, I can still hear the ring, the sound of the ringtone, but also I can hear the caller if he or she says something, or if the caller is not talking to someone near him, I hear in the background hie environment or some day day I have heard a police car siren, or today I have heard people speaking, the caller was in a office with people talking. The funny thing is that the caller does not know that the phone is answering, otherwise he or she would say hello to me so I guess that the call is not established. I have tried the ghost writer cab with reduced sensitivity but without success. Could it be a carrier issue? I'm on Vodafone RO with HD2 ROM 1.66.405 and radio 2.08.50.08.

Very strange. I think my phone sometimes answers by itself...not sure if I press the button or something cause I keep it in the pouch all the time.
Keep us posted
I have S2U2 installed , and the issue happens even when I leave the phone on a table. Maybe it has something to do with vibrating? Somehow the Answer/Ignore slider get itself moved when vibrating?
Nobody? Everybody has a perfect phone? Please help.
Ok, so I have heard on this forum that other people have strange screen behavior, and a fellow member has same problem as me. Now I have installed the ghost fix 3.2 and I am waiting for improvements. There is still no fix for automatic answer, and someone confirmed that the talking is heard in speaker, not in earpiece.
Hey guys I searched the forum but didn't find anything on this particular problem.
I got a replacement warranty swap N1 sent to me and for the first 2 days it was working fine but for some unknown reason I cannot hear the other person on a call and the ONLY way I can hear the other person is to have the speakerphone on
Has anyone ever dealt with this? Any ideas?
Thank you guys for any help you can give me.
Did you check the voice volume setting?
Did you check if the physical speaker is working at all? It might be disconnected.
Return for another replacement, I say. If the voice volume setting is ok - it's most probably a faulty speaker.
I don't have that exact problem, but sometimes, pretty randomly, when I swipe to answer a call, it answers with speakerphone turned on, which can be pretty startling (and, depending on what the first thing the caller says is, pretty embarrassing).
