People on the other end are hearing a buzzing

This has happened to me with several 8525's now...hass anyone else had this problem, better yet, figured out how to stop it!
I can hear a VERY faint buzz, and this is how i know that it's happening, but the user on the other end is hearing very loud buzz during call. It's not constant, sometimes it will come and go. but i had to replace a previous hermes because it got so bad. My newest one is now just starting to do it more consistently and this needs to either be fixed or replaced. PLEASE HELP!! THanks,

Phone volume decreasing when TEXT, EMAIL, OR ANOTHER PHONE call comes in while im on

Let me start by saying I LOVE this phone. Besides the 3G issue, it is a definitely an iphone killer! But, even though there are one or two things that could be corrected, the one issue that is a bit annoying is when im on a call, and a text, another call or email comes in, it throws the call volume all the way down till I can barely hear the person. I have to put the phone on speaker, then take it off speaker so it goes back to a leveled range where I can hear the person on the other end again. Am I the only one this is happening to? Is this a software issue? If yes, will it be addressed in the next OTA update?

I have the same issue. Hoping for a fix soon.

I just discovered there is a thread about this already. Guess I should have read through all of the posts on here. But none the less, it is annoying. I really hope it's a software issue and there will be a fix soon. Since the amount of ppl experiencing this is still in the minority compared to the 3G and touchscreen issues, I hope google doesn't forget about us..

Clicking Noise From Vibration Motor - Anyone Else Notice This?

I noticed that upon the vibration being triggered on really short spurts (for example when typing) that occasionally a clicking noise is generated. This isn't from the speaker, it's definately a mechanical noise.
For reference, My EVO is less then 24 hours old.
Anyone else experience this?
Thanks

I haven't heard any clicking and I've had mine for a week. I just tested it with typing and I don't hear any mechanical noise. Perhaps yours is defective?
The vibration on this phone is 100% more refined than the Hero's (in my opinion, lol). I turned off haptic feedback everywhere on my Hero because it was obnoxious and obtrusive. The haptic on the Evo seems smooth and intuitive. I prefer to use it on anything with the option.

I had it on a replacement vogue I got, it went away after awhile.
Take it into sprint and see if you can replace it.

My Nexus One use to do that. Did it from day one I had it since release date and still works fine.

I happened to notice this today myself but the noise eventually went away. I hope it doesn't become a big issue.

Yeah, I don't think it's necessarily a defect. Just when it gets triggered for such a short time-span that sometimes happens. Not that first phone I've noticed it on.

I was watching a podcast of the 404(cnet) and one of the hosts had something go wrong with his vibration on his evo....??
He said it will still vibrate like when calls came in, but for like the haptic feedback it didn't work.(yes he menitoned he had checked all the settings that were relative)
Dunno if this means anything to you but it could be more than a fluke problem. You never know...

I'm having this exact same problem on a nexus one...

After about two and a half weeks of ownership I started getting the click. It happens when the vibration is very short, maybe less than 1 second.
It isn't really obnoxious to me, but it is enough of a click that I notice it now.

Haven't noticed this ... yet ...
-_-

lol I thought I was the only one.

Curious, how loud? Would the key tone, god forbid that even be on, cover it up? Medium volume? (Is that loud??? I don't use the key tones ... )

Mine does the same thing. Clicks every other input. At the home screen I can press the back button over and over and every other time is clicks.. doesn't sound healthy. Its getting annoying when texting because every other letter feels differnt making some letters feel like there is no vibration....

THe more it does it, it's starting to feel like a rattle, like something is loose....

I used to have that w/ my first evo. Then i bought a second off the market and it didnt have the vibration problem. so i returned the first...

I have this issue, will sprint do an exchange because of this? I can replicateit by holding the backspace key on swype, its a loud annoying clicking
Edit: I upgraded to the new swype and thenoise is gone

I have this same clicking sound, doesn't seem to bother me though!

yup, mine will occasionally do it too. It almost sounds like there is slack in there and whenever it starts up it slaps against something. Mine doesn't seem to be getting worse so I'm not to worried about it but I definitely notice it when it does happen.

In Call Problems

Hi all a friend off mine has had his sg3 for a week or so now. When in a call he can hear people just fine but the other person has problems with the sound fading i.e its clear one minute the next goes distorted and very low (does this all the time). He is getting a full signal and the other people are as well. This happens on different phones so its something to do with his sg3. Was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if so how do you fix it.

Edit: Just realised this should off been in the Q&A section sorry

People tell me I'm hard to hear on a call?

I don't talk a lot on the phone, so it's taken a couple months to find out this issue.... When I'm talking to someone on the phone, I have to hold the phone pressed up against my face and speak a little louder than I normally do.. If I pull it away any at all, people are always saying they can't hear me or I sound really muffled.
I just called my voice mail and left a message, and this is what I've discovered as well. I knew what I said, but had problems understanding myself unless I held it right up to my face and spoke slightly louder than I've had to do with any other phone.
I heard, back in December, this was an issue and was to be fixed on the next update.... I'm now on a M29P (January release) ROM and nothing has changed.
Has anyone found this to be an issue or have you found a work around/fix for this?

I have the same issue.
When I put the phone in my neck so I have my hands free, people tell me I'm very hard to hear, and it's perfect when I hold it in a normal position...
It's quite frustrating, as I sometimes need to have my hands free..

Same here

Same happen here, it's because the noise reduction micro that the nexus 6p has back, check the small hole on the back face of the phone, when you are in a call put your finger there and they will say the same "I cannot hear you well", there are tweaks on the forums, but I have not tested yet, I used to use the speakers instead

If the phone is like 6 inches away they cant hear me, it's a noise cancelling issue, too strict.
Change in build.prop from true to disable noise cancelling.
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false

I had this with the very first call I made, but haven't had that complaint since

do this. fixed mine and my mothers problem with calls being muffled

I can't fathom how this is still an issue. I get constant, i mean CONSTANT echo. People stating they hear themselves when they talk to me. I finally downloaded build prop editor as instructed here and edited persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false as shown here. I have yet to test but it can't possibly get worse than EVERY DAMN CALL not working. Seriously , this is a phone, the tech for calls was perfected only a decade or more ago ?

Do you have any issues when in busy areas like restaurants, bars, airports etc?

the issue is still persist even after the June OTA. is there any way we can contact Google or Huawei to fix this issue permanently ?
I really love the phone but this issue is frustrating as it is a basic need in any phone. phone calls must be ok. how it can be fixed without root.

Have the issue here too even after June update. Will be rooting to edit build prop to see if it helps since I'm not sure I'll get much of any help from Huawei's support.
