[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?
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 4

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.

[Q] Note 3 Clone?

Hi, I just bought a Note 3 off eBay, it was listed as the AT&T variant of the Note 3. I received the phone earlier today and the 1st thing I did was went straight to the settings to see if everything was up to par.
In settings under about device it says its running 4.4 and the model number is SM-N9006. I did a quick Google search and came up with mixed results, some said it was the Chinese version of the Note 3 and some said it was a Note 3 clone.
I did a benchmark test and it doesnt look like the hardware is what its suppose to be, it actually listed it in the rankings as below the S3.
Any feedback would be great, I do have a 14 day return on this. Thanks a lot everyone.

hover the pen over the screen and press the spen button
and should work when pulled out

When I pull the pen out a lil menu on the bottom right pops up but when I wave it in front if the screen nothing happens.
Here's a screen shot of the air gesture menu, see it says "ware" instead of "wave"? Lol

Don't worry about spelling mistakes there are a few through the menus. Has anyone ever noticed the equalizer spelt equaliser in the music menu? There are a few you just have to look. But if your getting antutu scores on par or lower than an S3 then you have the mediate mtk processor and it is a fake for sure.

Just download Samsung info from Play store and see results without wasting time.

probably something like this : http://www.fastcardtech.com/HDC-Galaxy-Note-3-N9006.html

I already contacted the seller and he's issuing a refund. I figure I might as well get the AT&T version I wanted since they are both about the same price. I'm gonna check out Swappa and try and get my phone from there. Thanks to everyone who replied and helped! ::victory:

Equaliser is correct. Same as defence, centre, colour etc. just depends where you come from.
Ware however is wrong.

Can you talk and surf?

I am wondering if talk and surf is back in S7. I could not believe they dropped in in S6. Thank you.

If you mean advanced calling yes it does have it.

Thank you for replying. I remember reading people were having a lot of problems with S6 with advanced calling with calls dropping and other things. How is it on S7? Thank you.

No problem, I love it. It really is a nice phone. I came from a z3v and waited over a year for Verizon to give us advanced calling. This phone is is a little worse on battery but with actual quick charge, fills up faster than I could have imagined. I had advanced calling through a leaked version of lollipop on z3v and never dropped a call. That is just my experience though.

No extra cost associated with it.

I'll definitely check that out. Thanks Jayno20!

Whenever I've tried advanced calling it sounds bad, but that's me personally. I've tried on the Z3v, V10 and this S7. Maybe I'll try it more but from my few experiences I'm not happy with the quality.

That's the first I've ever heard that. Everyone that hears it has nothing but good things to say.

Typically for me, when I had it on I rarely got anyone else with HD calling enabled on their phone. The only person I really try it with is my girlfriend, but maybe she's just awful at using her phone. The experiences I had were it sounded clear, but it would randomly get really quiet for no reason at all. Like I said, I'll try it out again and see how it goes with other people. I noticed with Hangouts calling it sounded crisp, like I was in the same room with the person but at the same time if my data connection were to fluctuate or change, it gave a weird electrical tone. Like, their voice would drop into a strange static, which I've experienced with HD calling.

It is not enabled when I Talk and Surf on data...

I would recommend tethering the phone to your person so if you fall off the board it will be fine. It is water resistant so you should be fine.

Phone calling on it's own

New phone 8+.
My Otterbox case covers front of the phone too so not a butt call.
The phone initiates calls on its own.
Especially not nice if it is in another time zone.
Help very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Mine has started doing that. My 7edge and note 5 had done that previous to this phone. It is annoying. Once last year (7edge) my phone randomly called our plant manager at work around 11 pm?. As for the 8 Plus it's been calling recent texted contacts. I haven't set up any auto calling features etc. Suppose I should check settings etc
