I have noticed that when receiving a call, the option to move the call to speakerphone is often not available for several seconds. I'm guessing the delay is typically three or four seconds between the time I answer the call, and the time when I can press the speakerphone button. I often like to answer calls on speakerphone, so this is an issue, as I "open the line" by answering the call, but then don't say "hello" for several seconds, as I don't want to start the conversation until the phone is actually on speakerphone.
This was never an issue with my HTC One M8. The speakerphone button was just available.
Are others experiencing this issue? If so, has anyone come up with a work-around? It sounds like a trivial thing, but it is becoming quite annoying.
Thanks!

I've got a Universal with all the default ROMs and whatnot. I also use SPB PocketPlus and vBar.
Recently, since I got a bluetooth earpiece (Motorola HS820) - though not when the earpiece is turned on/connected - my phone has started rejecting calls when I try and answer.
I normally have my phone closed (screen not showing). Since some bug stopped me from being able to talk on it whilst it is closed, I have been opening it so the screen shows (and the keyboard doesn't) before I press answer. However, now this rejecting problem has arisen. I get a call, I open my phone so the screen shows and then press the answer button on the spine. This stops the ringing, but the incoming call popup stays as though I haven't answered, the person doesn't hear me and I don't hear them, then I get a missed call notification.
This does not happen 100% of the time. So far I have only noticed it when I've been receiving calls from my mother. However, she's pretty much the only person who rings me
Anyone got any ideas as to what is causing this/how I can fix it?
Update: I've done a hard reset and it seems the button still isn't answering the call. It isn't rejecting the call, it just isn't answering it.
This phone is proving to be more trouble than it's worth...
When I answer my phone or dial someone, I hear my reminder sound three times. (Not through the back speaker though)
Very annoying, because then I don't hear what the other person is saying.
Also sometimes my phone gives a vibrate for no reason.
Is anybody experiencing the same?
Is there a fix for this issue?
I just wanted to ask whether anyone else was having problems making calls. Sometimes when receiving or making calls I have the problem that the person on the other end is not able to hear me. I however can hear them perfectly and crystal clear. Is anyone else having this issue? The issue is usually resolved when I redial, but it's pretty annoying at times.
I'm on Vodafone UK.
The first call I made this happened to me, I think my head pressed against something to place the call on hold. The only indication you get that the call is held is a little pause icon in the task bar.
I've had this a number of times when the Hero has been connected to my Bluetooth car kit.
Even once its disconnected, I dial out and the caller hears me but I do not hear their ring tone or voice.
Turning Bluetooth off and then on again seems to cure it.
Random, does not happen all the time.
The Hero will also think its still connected to the car kit even after the car is turned off and I'm a long long way from it.
Same cure as above releases the 'connection'.
I've also noticed I get a pop up that says 'Bluetooth Headset Disconnected' when it was not or had not been connected for a long time.
Seems confused.
Hi, I have tested and experienced this on three different HD2's, and tried with every radio available in the Master Radio Thread. When talking to someone normally using the internal speaker, and we try to talk simultaneously, on my end the other person's voice completely disappears and I can only hear myself talking. Sort of like the old-style speakerphone effect, where only one person could be talking at a time.
I have tested this extensively with automated voice menu systems as well (like Pizza Pizza) and every time, as soon as I start speaking it immediately cuts off the sound on the other end (the incoming sound from their voice in my ear) either intermittently, so I can only hear brief little bits of what is being said, or altogether so that ten seconds or more go by without my hearing anything at all from the other side (as long as I keep speaking). As soon as I stop talking, I can hear them again, and as soon as I resume speaking, their incoming sound is cut off again.
I am using the Telstra version of the HD2 with the 850mHz band and have tested with a couple of different carriers (Rogers and Bell) with the same results each time. And as I said, I have tried three different units so I don't think it's a matter of defectiveness.
Does anyone know of a fix for this issue?
thats a really odd problem. i can't say i can help much. but i can suggest another keyword that might help you search better for other possible reports of similar issues. at the very least, this word describes your problem a bit more concisely. its called "half duplex".
Anyone else experiencing super low microphone volume when using hangout calls on speakerphone/video calls? The other person i'm calling says they can barely hear me.

yes, very much so. I may have found a weird workaround as this was annoying me for some time. You must leave the call screen up and let the first couple rings happen with speakerphone off. Then switch to speakerphone and do not leave the screen or turn off the call screen until the call is initiated. After that mess that i stumbled upon, i could be heard much better when making a speakerphone call with hangouts. Also, make sure not to cover both the front speakers or the mic in the back. Basically you must hold the phone in your hands as I believe laying it down on either face will obstruct mics.... Obviously a flaw that should be worked out I would hop with software or hangouts updates. I have opened a complaint thread on the google hangouts forums. I suggest you go there and explain that you have the problem too so that it may be looked at a bit more...
Thanks, posted on the Hangout support forum, so one else replied and said they have the same issue as well. Unfortunately though, I can't get your trick to work for me, super low mic volume unless I put my mouth right next to the top speaker grill. Hopefully this gets fixed, I think my wife is tired of seeing my chin during video calls.
I'm experiencing the same problem but with WhatsApp calls. It also happen on normal phone calls where there's no sound coming or going out, have to hang up and try the call again.
Anyone notice the speakers are only good at 100%.. Lower it to 90-80% and I can barely hear them, standing at about 1ft - 1.5ft
No news on this? Renders speaker calls on Hangouts, Viber etc useless.
Also, where on Google Forums did you post?
