So, for the first minute or two of any call, audio randomly cuts off and comes back, and after a seemingly random amount of time, it starts working normally. What should i do?
I am using an A2017G with unofficial RR 20170802 (same thing happened in the official build)
First recommendation would be to call ZTE support.
I had an issue where other couldn't hear me in certain calls and I would have to reboot to fix it. I ended up going into settings> advanced settings> scheduled power on/off and set it to turn off and back on a few minutes later every morning (early morning) while I slept.
I sent my phone in when the screen dies due to water damage and have a different device now. So far no more in call issues.

Hi,
This has happened 2 times the last few days: My phone is lying somewhere in stand by mode. Then it suddenly starts making a ticking sound. The sound sounds like a hardware sound (it comes from the phone itself, not from the speaker) and it gets worse as time goes on (harder & more ticks).
The phone also isnt responsive anymore at that time. So I take out the battery and power it back on (battery was empty, but that could be a coincidence) it works again.
I recently flashed the latest Energy Rom (26 jan).
What could this be?
(If you guys want, I can try to record it next time, but I don't really want to use my phone again until I know the ticking is harmless or something)
Hello guys,
I'm having two big problems since I bought the device (around 2 months ago).
1. My power button doesn't vibrate when I press it and I feel like it's "stuck". In the mayority of cases I can't even turn off my device and I have to use some app to do that.
2. I get random reboots during the day. It doesn't happen during a specific part of the day, but suddenly, when I'm playing or using social network, my device reboots and I can use it again after at least 15 minutes because it gets in bootloop for a very long time.
Can you help me?
Thank you!
Edit. My device is completely stock, no root and no custom rom ever installed.
That sounds like a possible hardware issue, especially if totally stock and you didn't change anything. For something like that I'd call support, it may need replacement which should be fine still being under warranty.
Just give a look at this post:

Are you sure you didn't turn experimental night mode on?
This is an ongoing, intermittent and devastating problem I have. My phone will be working perfectly fine, then all of a sudden it will randomly reboot. Then it will work for a few minutes or hours, then randomly reboot again. Then for a shorter time and reboot again until the phone basically can't even get through the bootup process without rebooting. It will be essentially bricked for anywhere from 1/2 a day to nearly a week (though it usually manages to get to working for 15 minutes at a time for most of the week. Then, all of a sudden and for no reason I can tell, it will just start working fine again for anywhere from several days to a month. This has been going on for at least 6 months.
It reboots during any manner of activities with the most common being phone calls, texting (I usually use Handcent Next SMS), anything with the keyboard (stock), browsing, swiping on the home screen, etc.. Really anything causes it, including it just sleeping with the screen off. The same problem occurs when in Safe mode, with or without the SD card (using as just extra storage, not phone memory), and with or without the SIM. It doesn't matter if it's plugged in or not. I have noticed what seems to be a greater tendency for rebooting to occur when the battery is low.
I am on T-Mobile (if that matters in any way for OTAs and such) and running the stock ROM without root. I'm about to try a factory reset but that has not been a permanent solution in the past.
so I just did the factory reset and it rebooted during the initial phone info setup (select your language, etc.)... I think it's toast... Does anyone know if this is the sort of thing that can be repaired for <$100 or should I just buy a new phone from ebay?
I have noticed almost every single night for the previous two weeks my Essential phone restarts itself. The only way I can tell this is when checking my phone in the morning the pin lock comes on and says pin must be entered after restarting. This happened with the November security update and still happening after downloading the December security update. Is anyone else noticing this?
From the title I thought you found randomly placed red boots every day just walking around..
Mine has done that a few times but it's not every night. I'm running the oreo beta and have automatic updates enabled so I assumed it was due to that.
Happening to me too and it's causing my alarm to not go off in the morning (using Sleep as Android). Been late to work twice now this week because of it. Super annoying, probably going to reach out to Essential support for it.

And that seems to be the case on my phone - it's not restarting overnight but it is going into doze and requiring the additional security when waking. This, unfortunately, is also suspending Sleep As Android. So I've tried excluding it from the battery optimizations to see if this will help.

Well I guess that's good to know. The aggravating thing being that it resets the Smart Lock when doing this. So now " I " have to restart my phone every morning so I can reset the Smart Lock so my phone stays unlocked while connected to my Android.

Coming back to this, because I'm still having issues. Sleep As Android gets suspended overnight. It initially was happening randomly, now it seems to happen every night.
I still believe the phone may be crashing, just not completely rebooting. I noticed that a reddit app I use (Relay) was using much more CPU recently and making the phone warm, draining the battery... while previous use didn't really do this. So I went to clear the cache for the app from system settings.
The phone froze... touchscreen became unresponsive. I gave it 15-20 seconds and it was still stuck so I tried to hold the power button in an attempt to find which button combination would force a reset. During this time, the phone decided to respond again and took all of the input I had tried at once - the power menu came up and it returned to the lock screen.
At the bottom of the lock screen - "Unlock the phone to use all features and data" just as it shows up every morning after "deep doze"
But the phone's uptime didn't restart. 131 hours and counting now.
So maybe this is a warranty-able issue after all.
Hi all - got two Le Pro3, both turn off during video calls (tried whatsapp and duo). No problems using the camera app.
1 normal, running the last paranoid android release - turns off after about 5 minutes
1 elite running the latest official lineage - turns off after less than a minute
its a consistent crash, strangely remember having longer video calls on the elite when running the previous lineage version.
is it an overheating problem? have you guys got workarounds?
I think I fixed the problem - installed the developer firmware thats linked on the forum ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/lineageos-on-leeco/files/firmware/zl0/ )
All this time I thought I had gotten away without finding out what flashing firmware was about...
managed to have a 5 minute video call on whatsapp
EDIT: but crashed later on duo. turns out the problem only happens when the phone is unplugged from charging!
Well since the problem was fixed just by plugging it in, realised the battery was shot (didn't realise since the phone was never used very heavily). Replaced battery, had a normal video call. Also fixed the problem of the phone slowing down whenever the battery was reaching around 50%.
