The call quality is not that great on my Nexus 4. It doesn't make any difference if I use headphones or the phone ear speaker.
Is this likely to be a network issue or what else? How can I work out what the issue is?
Thanks,
Jon

When I call someone they often complain about that it's hard to hear what I'm saying. When I use a BT headset the quality is fine. I've used both the stock Rom and MIUI. But all have this problem.
Anyone else having this problem?
Yep, this is a known issue...with mic volume, have a look at this:

I'm experiencing the opposite with VoIP calls. The other party hears everything include any background noises.

Same problem for me too....when calling they can't hear me at all but when I turn the loudspeaker on they hear me fine....
Any ideas why or how to fix it?

My Nexus4 has really bad video recording audio and good in-call audio.
It seems from reports here that this is reversed with some people.
When you switch from Normal to Speakerphone mode the audio is re-routed
from the mouth to the videocam microphone.
Here is one quick 'hack' to try, not sure if it will work. Call your friend and ask how they hear you.
Then plug something in the audio jack (headphones, earpiece, whatever) and ask how they
hear you then. If the audio is much better with something plugged in - cut the cord and
keep the phone jack in your phone at all time.
If the sound is better normally - don't use earpieces or speakerphone.
In the meantime hopefully a kernel developer can figure out a fix.

I have the opposite like one of the fellow forumistas... during a voip call or video call on skype my mic goes silent. Is this a software issue?

Just tried your little hack... if you make a skype call or video you can put the jack in once and pull it out and the call continues normally...So you are suggesting it is a kernel issue?
Yup happens to me. Its either i raise my voice or take the phone closer to my mouth...

I will say I bought this phone a week ago and love it but I am having one problem I noticed with the earpiece. I never noticed this till the other day when in a quiet room I went to make call and could hear a slight static or hiss coming from the earpiece before even making the call. Its not that loud but and seems similiar to the Nexus 4 problem. Now this will occur even if you are not making a call just put your ear up to the earpiece and there will be a light static hiss. I went to the ATT store to test their model on display and same thing you can hear a slight static hiss. I am wondering if this is normal since the store display had this and has anybody else noticed this. Thanks Again
PS I have the ATT Version and only notice in a silent area.
Are you talking about headphones? Or a Bluetooth headset

The earpiece speaker when you make a call if you listen in a quiet setting when not making a call you hear like a static hiss sometimes you have to wait about 20 seconds to hear it and I noticed this with the display at a local att store. Thanks
try putting the earpiece speaker up to your ear do not make a call and just listen there a slight static hiss. I am not sure if this is interference but there have been comments on the verizon and sprint versions as well. Thanks
Earpiece speaker?
I'm having a hard time figuring out if you're talking about the phone itself, or you're using headphones.
If you're talking abut the phone itself, then I don't really know...
Maybe you can see a audio out partial wakelocks in bbs? I'm guessing it's something that hasn't shut the speaker off and is still running in the background.
My phone doesn't have this problem lol I hear nothing and I'm on AT&T version as well.

Its the earpiece speaker on the phone go into a quiet room total silent. Then simply act like your going to make a call but dont put the phone up to your ear and listen there is a slight static hiss coming from the speaker. I also posted a link that describes this better than I can. Thanks

I have a quick question what version are you on 4.2 or kitkat. Thanks
I did some testing with phone call audio after I read somewhere that the back noise canceling mic might be causing the problem.
I called myself from a land line, muted the mic on that phone, and answered with my N6P. I listened on the land line and talked on the N6P. My voice sounded real muffled. I then covered the back mic up with my finger and the voice quality went up 10X. I did this multiple times.
To make sure the back mic was not damaged I took a video of myself talking to test the mic quality. Upon playback, the sound was great. This leads me to believe that my mic hardware is not at fault here.
Do others have this issue? It seems like a software issue relating to phone calls only. Thanks for any info/experience!
I have issues when doing speakerphone and video calls with Hangout. I have to talk into the top speaker grill for the other side to hear me. If I move the phone away just 1 feet, my voice gets canceled out and the other side can't hear me.

I wonder if you cover they back mic if that will improve your speaker phone experience. This kind of confirms to me that it is software. I wish we could turn the noise canceling software off just for calls. I mean, I want it but not if it will cause problems for phone calls.
I guess for now I will just cover the back mic with my finger during calls. Is there a website where we can report bugs for the N6P specifically?
No news on this? Renders speaker calls on Hangouts, Viber etc useless.
i got a note 4 that when you make a call, the ear piece, mic and loud speaker dont work. But when i get off the call, and i call 611 the earpiece works, and also youtube sound works on loud speaker. I believe its got to be a setting hidden somewhere within the phone. Has anyone ran across this issue?
