Turning off ascending ring on the Galaxy S

is there any way to do it?
or is it just one of those settings we gotta live with?
how annoying, atleast with Nokia you had the choice.

some body else already asked that

So i assume since the thread u posted had no resolution that there isnt one?

[Q] Person on call does not hear me when I first answer the call

When I answer a call, the person on the other line does not hear me if I speak as soon as I answer the call. Is any one else having this? I have to call someone, wait till they pick up, say hello, hello. They catch the second hello every time. I can't help but think this is not normal.

I've had that happen a few times.

This happens to me every time. My last two Android devices didn't do this.

Same here, but it happened on other phones I've had, so I'm guessing it's more of at&it's issue for me.

Happens to me too? Are you using a bumper?
According to my fiancé when I have the bumper on she misses my first hello when I answer. Naked N4; hears me just fine.

I'm having the same issue as well and I am using a bumper. Maybe I'll try without it. Thanks. I wonder if the op is using a bumper as well.

I am not using a bumper. Currently using an s line case. I do not think its the case as I do not change the level of my voice, just say hello twice and they always hear me on the second hello. I too have never had this issue with any of my other phones. But if others are having the same issue I will not try for a replacement. Just trying to see what everyone else has to say. I will start a poll to see if its just AT&T or T-Mobile as well.

is this infamous "hello hello" bug from Samsung Galaxy S?
https://www.google.co.in/webhp?sour..._qf.&bvm=bv.1354675689,d.bmk&biw=1366&bih=667

I have this issue and my phone is naked as a baby.

I'm having the same issue. First discovered problem yesterday when leaving messages for people and them complaining they couldnt understand my message.
Did an extended call test with my GF this morning at the house. I called her using my phone and she called me using my phone so we could both experience both ends of the call. The best way I can describe it is it sounds like a speakerphone conversation. The voice from nexus is muted unless speaking, and the unmute doesnt happen as soon as they speak but rather a moment after they begin speaking. I'm on TMobile.

same issue with me. Maybe is related to the buzz noize from the speaker during the call.

My speaker buzzes even when it's not in a call. If I just put the phone to my ear I can hear a small crackle...
To the OP: That seems weird. I wouldn't know about that for myself just yet, being that I haven't activated mine on any network. I'll be doing that when I get into work today. I still have a T-Mobile sim card there. Can't wait to test out the call quality and what not.

Yeah I have had it as well, I didn't think too much of it since I had the same problems on the iphone. It's pretty much a habit for me to wait a second and then say hello.

I apologize for bumping this thread, but did anyone ever figure out why this is happening? I have the same issue every time I get an incoming call. I'm using T-Mobile.

I noticed from a post in a similar thread that there was mention of a recent commit to CM, so I have a feeling that if that gets pushed in there sometime it'll most likely be fixed in the other ROMS in the time to come. Don't think there's anything you can do to fix it yourself- unless you're a developer.

I have the same problem. But I really don't care. People can wait

the latest cm10.1 nightlies supposedly have fixed this. I don't get a lot of calls so I haven't really checked.

Call problems

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

Hope the new device works for you, I'm on my second and the problem persists. It seems completely random, wish someone could figure thus out. LG, that means you.

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.

S5 Cool features

Im new to the S5 so Im wondering what are all the best features/apps that I might have missed? I noticed one today where if you click on a contact and put the phone to your ear it will automatically call that contact. It didnt seem to work 100% tho but I might be doing something wrong...Any others?

I think you haven't gotten many answers because it's not in the QandA sub forum

There are but you're better off looking/posting over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/help

Does everyone have the same call quality issue due to the build.prop settings?

I have had this problem since day one of owning the phone and with every new ROM I flash I always have to make changes to my build.prop to fix the muffled sound quality people on the other end hear. It's persist.audio.fluence.voicecall that I have to change from false to true in order for people to hear me clearly on the other end. Does everyone experience this? If so, I'm curious why, unless it's just not possible, ROM creators don't edit the build.prop in the ROM before releasing it. It's been a bug that has always bothered me. I flash a new ROM, forget about that until I start to make/receive calls. Then I have to root if the ROM isn't already and download the build.prop editor to make the call quality much better. So does this effect everyone or just some users?

Yes, I had the problem and lived with it for WAY too long. It's a hardware issue. Confirmed by Google. My replacement is perfect. Replace now.

Confirmed by Google? Did you see that somewhere, or did you get an email from them? I'm asking, because I'm hoping to go back to Huawei about a replacement. Unfortunately I bought mine from Best Buy, so no chance of Google doing anything for me, I guess. I have rooted mine and applied the build.prop "fix" everyone has been using for a while. I can make decent "handset" or bluetooth calls, but speakerphone won't work since noise cancelling is disabled.

I cleaned the back mic and since have had no complaints. I also try to make sure it's not covered when using speaker phone.
