LG G3 call sound issue - G3 General

Hello
I just bought the LG G3 and I have a strange problem where every time I try to make a call, I get no sound in the earpeace, and instead in the status bar I see a small icon representing a headphone jack. If I try to switch to loudspeaker it works, but not with the earpeace. Can someone please tell me if that is a software issue or a phone defect??? Thanks in advance
P.S. the phone is running the latest stock firmware and has undergone several factory resets

I had a similar issue. Can't replicate it on demand either and don't know how to fix it.
Never plugged in headphones. Happened about a day of usage after taking the phone out of the box. Completely stock.
Had the phone replaced for another issue and the replacement did the same thing after I'd say 2 days or so. No particular reason. I was on the phone with someone and out of nowhere I couldn't hear them but they heard me. Checking and un-checking speaker didn't do anything .

I've had this problem for 2 days now. Its really annoying

Me too. It is annoying to say the least. My phone has been like this now for 5 days.
This always happens when I have used the navigation application and it goes away at some point although I don't know how. After looking for solutions I have found the following possible causes:
Navigation application used, phone thinks it is docked(?)
Lint, dirt in the USB port
3rd party charger causing it (USB port issue)
Possible solutions (none of which works for me and I am not going to flash it because of this)
Clean the USB port
Use HTC original phone charger
In Settings: Turn of docking mode
In Settings: Disable speaker activation when flipping/turning phone
Remove battery and SIM-card & memory card
Flash the phone
I had this problem.
It went away, and I dont know why.
Maybe if you go setting>sound> unchecked quiet ring on pickup, pocket mode and flip for speaker.
Thanks guys, appreciate your suggestions, will try them out and report back

I've got the same issue with MIUI. sometimes it'll happen 5 times in a row, then it'll go several days without happening at all. I can't find any common theme as to why it's happening/not happening

[Q] Galaxy S4 No call Audio

HI,
I have a Galaxy S4 GT9505. I started facing a problem with the in-call audio today. When I can someone they cannot hear me and I cannot hear the m either. There is no ringing sound either. There is no sound even if I turn on the speaker. The earpiece and mic are working with other VoIP applications like Viber / Skype and Tango etc. Here is a list of things which I have done to resolve the issue but nothing seems to work so far:
1: Rebooting the phone
2. Rebooting by pulling the battery and simcard out and putting them again.
3. Factory Resetting the phone and wiping all data.
4. Pulling the battery out for 5 mins or so and putting it again in solved the problem for one or two calls but the problem again started soon after that.
I am running android 4.3 which i recently updated a month ago from stock 4.2.2. I havent tried flashing the phone or rooting it since I am not a big tech-geek but I really doubt it would work as some other posts have found it useless.
It is definately a software issue and I cant find any place which comes up with a specific solution to this problem. My gs4 is completely unlocked and I do not have a warranty claim since the phone was bought in another country,
Itll be really helpful if you guys can help me with this as the technicians here in Australia are a real ripoff when it comes to phone repairs.
Any help will be appreciated .
Thanks

Download/Extract This file ,Then Flash the file with Odin 3.04 or 3.09 , then open extracted file ".tar.(md5)" as PHONE/CP and Flash away. IF the problem still persist Download the stock 4.3 rom base from your Country from here and Follow the tutorial from here "Dont forget to do a backup" Goodluck.

Both methods not working
Did you flash (custom) kernel recently?
Dear OP,
I had this with my S4 it went to the menders 3 times, each time they factory reset it and flashed latest and sent it back working.
(I had obviously already done this myself)
Then it would go again. After the third time enough was enough and I escalated it and the replaced it with a new handset and no more problems. I think this is a hardware issue and you're gonna have to get a replacement.
Search XDA for mine and others threads or go to O2 Community where there are a couple of others stories (mine included)
Cheers,
GG
Hello .. i have an S4 with almost the same problem .. incall sound is like an radio interference very strong ... about 90% and in the background i can hear the call only 10 % so its unuseable. I also want to specify this is only manifested on headphones handsfree (tryied many kinds same result), bluetooth works fine, voip / skype also.
The thing is i never made gsm calls (with headphones) between the firmare updates to be shure if it comes from the firmware
i9505
4.4.2
bb i9505xxugng8
unrooted
So from my experience i'm guessing the audio chip is almost at the end of life, so if that is true dont think any software sollution will fix this.
But if anyone has an idea, that would help.
Thanks in advance.
I had the same problem - no in-call audio, everything else working fine. GT-I9505 running 4.4.2. If I restarted the phone then in-call audio would work for a while, then stop again. It was getting to the stage where I couldn't rely on it working for more than half an hour. I searched the web and found lots of non-functional suggestions, I tried lots of things and this is what I ended up with:
1. I deleted the call logs. It didn't seem to help, but it may be relevant if the next steps don't work for you.
2. I restarted in Safe Mode. Even after about 3 hours I still had in-call audio, so it looks to be a software problem.
3. I then restarted in normal mode and after about 18 hours I still have in-call audio working. Not sure how long it will last, but it's a huge step forward for me.
Hope this works for you.

SOLUTION: Samsung Galaxy S4 I337 no audio sound during phone call.
For me it was a bad SIM Card Reader or Module IF. But it could be a bad SIM card so try a new SIM before doing this repair or at least take it out and in.
My Service Repair Statement said it replaced two things:
Part Number Description
GH59-13279A Unit-SIM SD SOCKET; SGH-I377, 10-0013-0278
GH59-13111A MODULE-IF SUB FPCB(SGH-I337);SGH-I337,10
Called 800-726-7864 told them what the symptoms were and that the support line said it was the SIM Card Reader and they gave me a quote of $70.36 and seemed confident that the phone would be fixed. Sent to Samsung Repair Facility in Texas, total cost $70.36, and was without it for 9 days. It’s been working for 2 weeks now with no problems.
First I took it to an AT&T Service Center and all they really did was try a new SIM Card, next called Samsung Service 888-987-4357 and went thru a series of tests and they said it was a bad SIM card reader and gave me the repair center number.
Symptoms:
No audio / sound during a phone call on either side (caller or receiver)
Call connects everything is working, just no sound.
Sound for all other functions and apps works (music, voice recording, video audio).
You can tell it is going to happen when you make a call and you don’t hear any ringing just a click sound then nothing. If you hear ringing then the call will work.
Rebooting usual works for a call or two. Messing with some settings may get it to work for a period of time. But for me none of any of the other suggested fixes worked except rebooting and turning airplane mode on and off but it only fixed it for awhile.
I have used the phone for 1.5 years and never had a single hardware problem, didn’t have it heavily loaded (RAM or Memory). It just started one day out of the blue and drove me crazy.

Same for me, it was the sim card not seated properly.
Same Issue to me
See, i got a similar problem, when i make a phone call sometimes it works and sometimes the phone loses the sound. after a reboot the problem seem to be gone during a brief moment, then it lose sound again. I've tried all kind of software solutions and get some conclusions after reading a lot of posts.
First: Is a hardware issue. Is related to the sim card reader and the charging port.
I've started experiencing the Cannot detect your simcard problem and fix it with a piece of foam,(it actually works great). The sim card problem was hiding the sound issue because it constantly reboots the phone, 2-3 times a day, and even if it loses the sound i didn't realize because i have to restart because of the annoying pop up.
I'm on CM13 now, and was working great for a day or two. then it starts losing sound again, first was call audio only, then even when the phone try to make the unlock sound it freezes, get in an unresponsive state. When i hit the phone softly he makes the unlock sound and starts working really good. Then Ii think, let's try that when it loses sound anywhere else. Try to play a song and the phone freezes and no sound is coming from the speaker, little hit and starts playing. Try to call and freezes or start the call without sound, little hit and works great again. So…i started to wonder what if is the same sim card issue, a faulty connector, that make perfect sense to me. So given the fact that I cannot aquire replacements and the fact that i’m reallyyy cheap, i will try to use a piece of foam on the top of the charger connector as well as the sim card reader. I’ll keep you posted if that Works for me.

Random and persistent beep noise from phone's earpiece while talking

Hi Guys
I am having this weird problem of having random beeps from phone's earpiece while on the call.
It happens almost 7/10 times and is really annoying. Samsung did wipe and restore the ROM, the phone is updated but still, it is there.
they even kept the phone for 10 days but couldn't identify the problem and are still analysing the logs.
Now I read on many forums that it can be related to WiFi or advanced calling. I keep my WiFi off always when not using and since it is Indian phone, Advance Calling is not applicable and hence not there in the settings.
Any idea guys what can I do?
Really need help in this.
sorry if in any way I repeated the problem, but couldn't find any similar thread.
Thank you
Hi
Friends I gave my phone to Samsung and they kept and used it and found nothing.
Now I have my phone and I can hear the same noise again. What should I do?
Samsung says if you can prove it, we can identify and can repair or replace, but we don't know what to do now?
Can anyone help me here, pleaaseeeeee?
I am so disgusted with this. I love this phone but this random clicking while talking and it is like 2-3 clicks per second. Highly irritating. But when I really press the phone hard on my ear, it gets suppressed. doesn't vanish, but less.
Someone please suggest what should I do??

Mic not working during calls after root

Noticed within a few hours after rooting, my mic was not working. Callers could not hear me. This occurs for both regular calls and Hangouts calls. This dosen't seem to be a hardware issue as the mic works for google voice assistant. Seems to occur out of the blue, and so far ive been messing with settings and somehow the mic began working again, but the issue repeated itself later yet again.
Has anyone else had a similar issue?
Looks like im a loner with this issue. This may still be a HW issue. Might swap and get a new phone while i still can and see if the issue persists.
I have a river_amz I just obtained, waiting for sis to come over and get the FRP thing sorted. I'm going to be rooting immediately after unlocking bootloader. I will post here and let you know if I experience the same thing.
Have you found out anything since your last post regarding this btw?
No. It's been solidly working all day yesterday. Trying to make it fail again.
My only hope is its not a intermittent HW issue that will pop up bigtime after my return window expires.

Mic on MOTO G7 not working
I'm having an issue like this, but my mic just does not work at all. I'm pretty sure this one is a hardware issue because the only way I can talk to people is plugging in headphones. Do you have the regular G7, or the play/power/plus?

[Pixel 4] Suddenly no ringing sound, no notification sound, no sound on speakerphone

It started suddenly after a week on the January update, but I downgraded to Dec update and still have the same issues, meaning it's a hardware defect. Already reported this to google. Anyone else?
Had similar issue
I had a similar issue since yesterday. Tried booting into the safe mode to check if any third party app is doing it( If you wanna try that hold the power button then touch and hold the power icon on the screen). If it still stays it is a hardware issue you need to get it repaired. I just gave my phone to Ubreakfixit
Yes it is a hardware issue. Safe mode, factory reset, downgrading the software did not work.
This just happened to me this morning.
what is going on? this literally just happened to me too this morning. I can make calls via whatsapp/facebook etc, but if I try to call anyone it just says "calling" but there's no sound, eventually it cuts off. If someone tries to call me, the phone doesn't ring and I just get the sms saying there's a message in my voicemail. It says I'm on the 4g network, I can send sms messages and wifi works fine. If I have to ship the phone anywhere I'm ****ed, I'll have to buy another phone as a spare :crying:

Looks like I'm one of the lucky ones. I had to go out and soon as I got to the next town a call came in, so I tested making more calls and it worked fine there. Upon returning home the issue returned. I figured it's gotta mean something is up with my provider or the nearby antenna so asked a few friends who live near me and a neighbour. Turns out they all have the same issue. I'll have to wait it out now and see if they fix it. The wierd part is 4g data and sms work fine and I've still got full signal strength or I'd have assumed that right away.

That sounds more plausible than hundreds of Pixels bottom speaker burning out all of a sudden. When the call supposedly comes in does it show on the screen or just go directly to voicemail? That would be the initial test of the speaker. Does it play music, can you hear notifications? Every once in a while that happens to me and then I just try again a mile or so down the road and it connects fine. If you have wifi calling you can try that too.

No, it was the service provider in the end. My whole town had the issue for a couple days. The company (movistar) have fixed it now so I can make calls and recieve them no problem. To say I was relieved is an understatement.
Bottom speaker broke out of nothing
I guess I'm really unlucky, me and my girlfriend got two pixel 4 in black Friday and both of the phones had the same issue, it started having a crackling sound for a few seconds and then the bottom speaker completely died while in a speakerphone call tried a factory reset with no luck, no sounds comes out, my girlfriend had the phone only for a few weeks when that happened, and in my phone happened last week, now we have to figure how to ship the phone back to the US and try to get a refund, since if it breaks again it would be close to impossible for us to ship it back again

Hello everyone
I own a pixel 4 and it has a constant problem.
after operating normally, suddenly for no apparent reason it loses all sounds and vibrations.
also it is not possible to make calls and freezes in various system applications.
sometimes this is solved with a simple restart of the phone, other times a factory reset is necessary and lately it is required to unlock the boot loader to reinstall the factory image and test with which security patch recovers all its functions and returns to function normally.
It started suddenly after a week on the January update
What would be the cause of this failure in the phone?
At first I reported the problem to google and they indicated the same to most of you; restarting the phone or factory reset and how the method worked no longer insisted.
after the February update its operation was normalized, but with the arrival of the May update the same problem returned.
I had to downgrade to the April update, then to the March update and after several attempts it worked again, but a few days later the problem returns and I have to repeat the process.
What arguments should i use to convince google to change the phone or return my money?
I never rooted
Buy the unlocked phone at BHphoto on Black Friday
model G020I
I live in Peru
NOTE: I do not speak English and use the translator.
sorry
I'm on latest Android 11 DP and I noticed that this release removed a lot of bass from the speaker. I think to prevent the clipping and damage of the speaker.

Is your "Do not disturb" mode turned on by chance.
Sorry if this is a stupid suggestion.
