I have talked to 2 other g2 owners, both on Verizon, and they have the same problem. While on a call randomly the other person can barely hear me, it doesn't happen every call but enough to be considered a problem. Anyone else experience this and what carrier. I tweeted @lgusamobile to no avail. I am on my 2nd g2 and it still does it.

I'm beginning to wonder if it has something to do with Verizon changing the mic holes from 3 to 1?

Just started using my G2 today. Made a couple of calls and had no issues until this evening. Two calls in a row and the person I was talking to could barely hear me. So I put it on speakerphone and he could hear me just fine. I sure don't want to have to keep doing that. I'm on T-Mobile.

I'm hoping it's just a software problem, that eliminates my theory on the mic hole

Exactly what I started experiencing abotu 2 days ago. When I hold the phone with my chin (slightly slant) they cant hear me but when I hold it with my hand facing my mouth they can clearly hear me. its weird, what gives?
Ive noticed the same problem as well. I figured out last night that if I hold the phone higher on my face, so the ear speaker is a tad above my ear, people on the other end say I sound way better.
Sounds like LG has some call quality issues it needs to hammer out on these phones with software updates.
ok, add me to the list for call quality/clarity issues; i'm using an att stock, but rooted ROM. people i've talked to on my phone say i sound muffled, like my hand is covering my mouth. they can't understand what i'm saying. . called at&t - from my phone - to report the problem and the tech support person confirmed my issue. they're sending a replacement device overnight. i hope the new device does not have the same issues .
Yep, I'm also on T-Mobile AMD having the same issue

sad to report that the replacement device i received today exhibited the same issues. chit! i'm really disappointed that the problem was still present. i was (supposedly) talking with a manager/tech who asked me to call him from my other phones (S4/HTC One) to see if he could hear the difference. to my disappointment, he said he could clearly tell how muffled i sounded on both of my G2s. another phone is on the way for me to test. fingers are crossed that the 3rd device will work.
I had this problem when my gf called me. She said i sounded very low and that i sounded as thou i was sick. That was the second day i got the phone. since i don't really use it for calls that much its not a worry. plus i past my days of return.

So if I'm correct the mic in G2 has strait direction and does not hear and amplify sounds going from other directions except nearby mouth voice. So I suppose people should fire voice recorder and tinker with recording self muffling some chatting and keeping mic in different directions. Then listen to what other part probably hear. Probably someone would find the best position for mic to record voice. Me thinks that it's a distinctive mic's feature &specificity so software update would never come being not needed in the first place

So then its not mic-related. Were you holding phone above a shoulder like when talking or display in front of face? or either way it records same?
If it's not mic than it's something AMR related. Probly on bad line and signal phone chooses AMR-NB instead of AMR-WB, does it?
well... received a 2nd new phone, spent another 45 minutes on the phone with another tech, testing the G2 and a HTC One only to have the same results: muffled voice on the G2. i have never, ever, ever had this kind of issue with Android device. i was given a case number (what ever that means) told to expect a call from another tech person and, that it's possible at&t might ship my phone back to LG. WTF!! apologies for my rant, just very disappointed. think i'm going to buy the T-Mobile version, unlock it and test on at&t.
Unfortunately my Z1s is going back: I'm having issues with the screen properly registering a long press when trying to move icons/widgets, or long press on an empty area to select a widget or app to drop there. It started out happening on rare occasion and I ignored it, but it got worse and worse and worse until now it's almost always a struggle whenever I want to do any of those things. And, when that's happening I also noticed the keyboard is unusable for swipe style because it keeps splitting up longer words into lots of shorter ones. In both cases it seems as if the screen is thinking I've lifted my finger when I haven't.
So, back it goes. T-Mobile is sending me a new one to arrive tomorrow or Monday and this one is heading back. Fingers crossed, because I'm loving everything else about the phone!

I have the same issue. I thought it was the way I was holding the phone because I couldn't reproduce it with the phone laying flat on a table.
I am probably going to return mine as well.

Wow, interesting observation! I just tried it out and so far mine is behaving the same: lay it down and long press works, pick it up and it stops working.
After additional experimentation if I lay the phone in the palm of my hand with fingers not touching the sides it continues to work fine, but when having my fingers touch the side of the phone (while making sure to not curl over onto the top) long press eventually stops working.
looks like Z1 inherited touchscreen issues.. not good Sony, not good at all...
Same problem here, let us know if your replacement works but it doesn't look good.

Uh oh, if you're the third person with this problem out of a small group of initial orders I'm guessing this is just the way the device is going to be and my next one will behave the same.
If that's the case I'll have to decide if this issue is a deal-breaker or not. There's lots I like about the phone, and in the long term I could probably live with holding carefully and/or setting down when I want to rearrange apps/widgets, but if it happens enough that I can't use swipe style keyboards without them freaking out any time my fingers touch the side of the phone I'll have to think long and hard about it.
I'll keep you posted.

Good to hear guys! It gives me some hope my new one won't have the same issue. It's being delivered today.
My first one took a couple hours to start manifesting the problem, so if I can use it a full day or two without it happening I'll be cautiously optimistic my new one doesn't suffer from it.

Well my S5 has been working flawlessly since I first bought it a couple of weeks ago but now I have the dreaded 'warning: camera failed' error whenever I try to go on the camera. I have tried battery pull/rebooting/freezing/clearing certain apps but no dice.
Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come with other S5's as I have seen there is already a lot of talk about it elsewhere online but mainly with the US Sprint variants. Admittedly I have been using mine quite extensively but my S4 didn't suffer from this problem and I used that heavily too.
Hope I don't have to send it back for a replacement as what a ballache! Plus I'm not sure I'll even be covered as I have rooted and installed a custom recovery so my knox is tripped lol. If they won't cover it I'll just try and reseat the flex cable for the camera sensor or even order a new part.
I will update the thread after I have tried a few more things... !
(Bought the phone from o2, UK, BTW)
P.S the phone is now running much hotter as well even when idle... I think it is hardware related! I haven't made any app changes or updates it seems to have just happened out of the blue.
EDIT: Flashed stock rom and factory reset. Still can't use the camera ... GRRRR!!!

I'm wondering if I removed something I shouldn't have with titanium backup though... I hope anyway...
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app
I had it too...
But they replaced my old s5 to a new one without any problems ! :good:
I had "Warning Camera Failed" problem on my SM-G900SW (S5 in Canada), along with some other weird problems.
After reading an announcement from Samsung that the problem is ROM related download the stack image for my device/provider from Samfirmware and re-flashed the phone.
The problem went away, and so did some other issues.
I created a thread in the T-Mobile forum, so I hope this doesn't seem redundant, but I didn't find many solutions on that thread. Here's a thorough explanation of the problem that I'm having and everything about my device. If requested, I'll upload screenshots from my phone that could potentially help, but I have uploaded a photo of my "About device" screen. Apparently the issue I'm having is very likely not hardware related, so if anyone could solve it I would really appreciate it.
Details on my device: My device model is a the T-Mobile variant (G900T). I purchased it from a reputable seller on Swappa in "Open Box, New" condition. Upon receiving it, I immediately unlocked it via Unlockunit, which is apparently a good site for unlocking phones. I received the code with no problems and it worked. My phone has had the problem I am about to describe since making my first call about eight days ago.
Problem: All callers are reporting that they hear themselves echoing on their end of the call. Basically, when they talk, they hear themselves talking as well as me. They report my voice as sounding like I'm "in a tunnel." Also, when I move the phone, they pick up a lot of distortion. This happens during all phone calls and is not dependent on the signal strength or location of the person I am calling. It does *NOT* happen when using speakerphone.
What I've done to try to solve it (nothing has worked): I've factory reset my device both from the "Backup and reset" menu and through Odin. I called Samsung who helped troubleshoot the device. The representative had me clear the cache in the phone app, remove the battery and SIM, and replace the battery and sim. I then contacted AT&T who tried a few things in the background (details were never given on what was going on) and said they would check the towers in my area. Next I tried swapping SIMs which also did not work.
Current state of the phone: The phone is currently completely stock, unrooted, and with no custom recovery installed. Still, I am experiencing the issue.

Bumping this again. I'll be sending the device out for repair tomorrow unless somewhere on here can help me figure this out. I really don't want to do that, though, because my Knox is tripped and I'm pretty sure that it won't work out for me, but it's my last hope. Hopefully someone on here can solve this. Thanks!
Still having this problem. I hope there's someone out there who knows how to fix it.
Hey guys I have a issue with my S5 keeps freezing and vibrating twice before rebooting constantly I have tries flashing stock firmware via odin, repartitioning, custom roms, updated modems and still it keeps doing it at random intervals.
The other day it ran for about 48 hours without freezing but I have no idea what I did or didnt do that caused it any help would be much appreciated.

Since you tried all software fixes you could think of, problem's in hardware. Try another battery and see then. If even then it reboots it's something far more important than the battery and you're screwed :| (have to give it to repair shop).

I had the same problem and fixed it by changing to a new battery. It seems that the older battery doesn't hold enough peak charge whenever the CPU tried to stay at 100%.
already tried changing batteries that did not work for me.
Time for the repair shop route.. Or if it cost to much to fix, you can find a good used or new for cheap on ebay or swappa.
