Any one else receiveing phone calls from random long distance numbers lately? They hang up as soon as I answer. But everyone I have talked to on Sprint is getting the same thing happening. It's happened 4 times to me today. 3 to my wife and 3 to her cousin. And a few other people.

Yeah I was getting that for about a month from two numbers then i put them on straight to voicemail. I think sprint sells our numbers to telemarketers

I actually think they sell our numbers too. For about 3 months I was getting calls from debt collectors asking for someone named "Laurie Wheeler", who I obviously am not. They kept calling no matter what I said to them (I even got so PO'd that I started swearing at them), so eventually I just asked Sprint to change my number. I haven't had any weirdass calls since.
I've not received any strange calls...LOL. You guys are wrongly paranoid about Sprint IMO.
My advice to you is to be cautious when including your phone number on any promotion, advertisement or to any company that may resell your information.
I had to opt out of solicitation recently when signing up electricity and gas for my house.. WTH?
A couple years ago they started allowing you to add your cell phone to the federal no call list. www.donotcall.gov I also have found that the call/hangup is very common from Capital One if you have an account with them. Just type the number into google and it will sometimes tell you who it is.
Its very common to get recycled numbers. I found this out when i was using prepaid services for a long time. Tmobile is notorious for this and sprint is as well. I would every now get a call asking for the same person from debt collectors. Call sprint and ask if your number is recycled from a overdue or past account.
Sprint likes to give out numbers before the mandatory 1 year holding period that is required after a phone number has been deactivated. When this happens, if the person before you is in serious debt and you get their number, the collectors will call you, call you and call you and will not stop, even if you tell them you will be contacting your lawyer for phone harassment because the person they're looking for is not YOU.
I kept getting calls from the same debt collection agency. They were looking for "Michael Vampas".
Most I ever got were a few spam texts saying that I should reply to get free something or another for 9.99 a month. I just ignored the texts and it stopped.

Anyone else on Verizon (or any other G2 variant) having call quality issues? Phone was fine until today and then my voice calls started to 'digitize' randomly, almost like there is a short in the speaker. Hopefully its just some weird network thing and not my phone.
My quality of audio during calls is not good at all. But then, I only get 1-2 bars at home where I've used it so far. Ordered a VZN Network Extender, hope that helps.
(Having to pay $250 and use my own ISP to get decent connections is a whole other topic!)

Nope... Scouted Craigslist and eBay for a week. Not a one to be had on Craigslist, and no "Buy It Now" offers on eBay. All the eBay prices were above $150 for used ones, and bidding higher and higher.
I hadda have one NOW, as my wife works out of our home office and all IT matters fall on me to fix.
(And please don't go and post a link to a "good deal" now, my Verizon order will be here tomorrow and you'll just make me feel miserable... thanks!)
There is a bug that produces that screech/digital sound every so often I think. There was a thread discussing it but I can't find it now.
I got that same crackle/screech today on a few calls. One was in a voicemail I received, where I assume that would be a clear message. I turned the volume down, and that seemed to help a little, but it was too sporadic to tell. This was when I wasn't on speakerphone. Don't know if it would occur on speakerphone too. But music turned all the way up seems to be fine, so I'm thinking it was the VZ network. However, I had 4 to 5 bars during my calls. I have another week on my trial period, if it continues, I may exchange for another one.
Regards,
Mike
Many of us are experiencing this and talking about it on androidcentral. Thread "Poor call quality verizon g2". This site won't let me post the link. That's one of the threads.
I'm waiting on verizon network engineers to analyze my calls and get back to me. I love the phone but will return it assuming they say nothing is wrong with the network. My backup is Moto X but then some have mic problems and I had to return one over that too.
im having like a digitized sound quality too, like when they air those test messages over the TV it sounds sort of like that, thing is im on TMOBILE!!
anyone think its an issue with this phone itself? im about to run down to tmobile and try switching it or testing another one.
I have great quality on mine, but it does depend on where you are located and your signal. Poor signal kill battery and gets that digital sound. All phones are susceptible to that, not saying that lemons aren't out there, but in general if you have 3+ bars it should be fine. Less than that and it still should be fine, but could periodically digitize.
I posted a thing about this very issue as well along with others. Mine does it too but only on WiFi calling. It sucks if you ask me. I think I may return this phone.

Didn't mean to thank you. Lol. But you and six other don't add up to many. But sad that you guys are having such issues. Sounds like a bad batch because all reviews reported good-excellent call quality. And there doesn't seem to be a uproar going on just a few seems less than a 100 so far who are having such issues.

Also are you in an area where you have 3g at least? Using other carriers towers can do that. Turn off all roaming and if you cannot get bars it's not VZNs fault. If you do then VZN needs to update the towers. Some mom and pop cdma carriers lend their towers for a small fee which is how vzn got its coverage.

Bad outgoing voice / good incoming voice
My problem is that others complain that they can't hear me on either the phone microphone or a handsfree boom mic. I had no problems with my rezound.
The sound coming from the speaker is fine---no digitization---and sounds great. Anyone else receive complaints from the person they are speaking too?
I have snap, crackle, and pop issue from time to time as well. I have had it both while on wifi and on 4G, but not on every call....
Voice Enhancement Fix
There is a voice enhancement option during calls if you press the menu button. I think it uses the top mic to do noise cancellation in noisy environments. Has anyone tired to fix the problem using this?

My Sprint LG G2 has been experiencing the clipping/chirping sounds since I got the phone. At first I thought it was my home phone since we use VoIP. But the problems started happening on all callers the more I used the phone.
My Voice Enhancement was actually unchecked. For the heck of it, I checked it and will see if that changes anything, but most people say it gets slightly better unchecked.

Just bought my wife this phone on sprint and she had this problem and her replacement has the same issue.
My note 3 had this same exact issue on 4 different replacement phones. Samsung issued a update 2 weeks after release to fix the garbled snap crackly calls. I don't think I have much faith in LG to issue a fix. Their track record sucks

Has anyone noticed any distortion or clipping per say during a phone call on the earpeice? I've seen people mention the speakerphone not being so great but not earpeice. Wondering if I have a defective unit or if that's just the way it is. Thanks.

I came from the galaxy nexus and the earpiece is much better on the Note 3. It's louder and clearer. You might have a defective one. People's opinion will differ depending on what device they came from.
I was on the phone with a Verizon rep and they kept saying it was a lot of static on their end. I couldn't hear the static at all.

I notice it on mine. Tried to exchange at a store but the manager said she couldn't hear the fuzz so I couldn't exchange only return pay the $35 restocking fee and buy a new one. And since I used Verizon30 code which is for online ordering only I'd loose that. Going to call Verizon and try and go up the latter. Hopefully they will ship me a new one and I can send the old one back.

My phone had same issue and I exchanged it for another. Same problem garbled digital glitching while on phone calls. I went into a Verizon wireless store and they said this is a bug and pulled up sprints website forums and it said there was an issue.. He said all note 3 devices were affected. They better get it fixed fast or this phone is gone and LG g2 is in.

I have excellent call quality actually. Have you tried playing with the custom sound buttons while you're on a call?
I am getting the same thing..Great signal just the digital garble on voice calls....I hope they come out with a software fix!

My tip is to wait for an OTA or some other update. It's happening to lots of people. Even with the sprint version of the phone. I hope they fix it sooner than later. It's very annoying to me but the phone is so nice I will live with it.
Does it occur if you call *611 customer service? I primarily use VOIP (Groove IP plus Google Voice) so it sounds the same if not a little better and *611 is normal too.

I'm on my second phone and the call quality is worse than my first. (however the home button doesn't move as much). I am getting the high pitched squeals, static, and garbling, with each syllable the caller makes. It is beyond frustrating. I went to BB to exchange my phone Today and they did not give me the new SIM card, they just swapped out the sim cards. Do you think this could be an issue?
I originally thought the issue was with the bluetooth in my car, then I heard it while using the spearkerphone, and then I heard it using the built in ear piece.
I'm also concerned with the way they did the exchange. They didn't give me a new receipt with a new date, so instead of a new 14 days, I have only 7 more days. I'll keep going back until it is right.
Is insurance on these phones worth it, if you just get a refurbished one? What if they realize this is a hardware issue 3 months down the line? Are we stuck?
My Mother also got her phone from the same store today and hasn't had any issues. I suspect she won't because I noticed the call quality on the first phone call with both phones.
Hi everyone I plan on purchasing a jet black note 3 next Friday I've been doing research and I know that the sprint and Verizon note 3s have had a distorted phone call issue I do remember reading that Verizon sent out an update to fix it. My question is is anyone still experiencing this issue with their phones or is it completely fixed.

What exactly does enhanced 4G do? I'm on Verizon and on a budget, and this phone looks fantastic. Never heard of such a thing.
It's what allows Verizon's HD Voice feature. It's required to use data while on a call. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PHONE IF YOUR ON VERIZON, PERIOD. You will regret it. Read this forum to understand the issue https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G...izon-very-poor-call-quality/m-p/3668953#M3408.

You should be able to disable it, unless Verizon blocks it, which wouldn't surprise me.
It works awesome in Sprint! No regrets. A great update from my S6 for sure!

If I disable it then I have no data while on a call. I'm then back to what cell phones were 10 years ago. Verizon customers are the only ones suffering this issue. The phone is simply not fully comparable with Verizon and Moto won't own up to it and release a bulletin about it.

I am not in love with it but here are some pluses: seems really fast, good processor speed
Almost no bloatware
Battery life is the best I have ever had on any device
Camera seems fine (see minuses)
Its rootable right now
Works well on at&t, but bought for possible switch to Verizon (if voice issues get solved)
Music sounds really good to my ear on tiny front facing speaker
Minuses: camera videos have lots of background noise, update is supposed to fix but Lenovo is slow to update, still on nougat 7.0 with January security patch
Camera has weird super sharpening of photos
Call volume is low
Poor slot for Sim and SD card with separate tool needed to access the slot, really awkward
XT1687 here. On Verizon. Not encountered any problems. Only regret is the over sharpening/over noise reduction of camera images (fixable with root) and no raw (currently not fixable in a tolerable way).
I will say I slightly miss the 5.5" screen of my Moto G4 plus and I wish I had bought black not gold . The fingerprint functions are awesome - you really notice that extra screen real estate.
I've got this phone on verizon, with the exception of the poor voice quality which doesn't bother me too much since I don't really use my phone to make calls. I can't really make any complaints about the phone. It's hard to beat the performance and battery life at the price and it feels pretty solidly built. If you look around this phone in the 4gb variant can be had for under $300 (not including the amazon ad version).
This phone two hardware problem which cannot be resolved through software. So avoid purchasing this phone. First problem noise background in Video recording. Second red color in Video recording. Both are known issue and accepted by Lenovo support team. They have accepted that the 2nd issue cannot be fixed. For the first one also I am expecting the same

I've had this phone for about a week now. I purchased it unlocked and activated the sim card Bestbuy gave me on the verizon site. I've only made two calls with it, both with LTE coverage and the calls sounded fine and were totally audible.
I've yet to feel any buyers remorse. I came from an old galaxy S4 with verizon bloat on it and it feels like a totally new experience. It's a budget phone so I look at it with that perspective and I couldn't be happier with what I got for what I paid.
The only thing I dislike is the camera in comparison to the GS4 is severely limited by software. I've been considering root on this, and after 4 years of rooting with rare updates, I want to try the unrooted life for a bit. If I do root, I'm sure the camera issue will be one of the first on my list of things to tackle.

The noise is a software problem and the video recording thing really isnt as bad as you make it out to be unless you're regularly using the camera to take videos you wont have any problems. Its an easy compromise.

I was aware before I bought the phone and was pleasantly surprised not to have an issue. I bought it about 3 weeks ago from B&H.
I got it on Verizon I havent had a HD voice issue either. Provisioned and turned on on the phone.
Though, I'm not sure I actualy called someone who ALSO has HD voice....which would be the real test. I'll call my dad in the morning.

Well I know I'm not having that problem then, I was on the phone today with both a friend on T-Mobile and with my dispatch on landlines.
I did have a moment of unintelligibleness with an inbound call but it was only for about 10 seconds which I attribute to driving through West Virginia.
So update on that issue..I'm having it with VoLTE combined with HD voice.
If I use the Enhanced LTE services (VoLTE) and I connect to someone who is not HD Voice capable (Landlines, or cell phones without the service active for their carrier) I dont have an issue with the garbled incomming audio.
However, the issue surfaces when I contact someone with HD voice over VoLTE. (Verizon to ATT in this case). When I turned off the services and called over normal CDMA (No Data during call), the audio was fine.
The downside is that you cannot turn off the HD voice on the account and still have VoLTE. Its an all or nothing thing. Which is really disappointing.
Also, the Lenovo boards are getting blown up by Verizon users complaining of this issue, along with the past issue of not being able to use 911.
Hopefully whatever update they are sending down the pipe in India for audio quality is going to be the fix when it reaches the US. Time is ticking for my return policy with Best Buy. And my Moto X Pure does NOT have this problem on Verizon, even running AICP. So fingers crossed its fixable.
