Is there any way to improve call quality? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on Verizon and recently switched from a M8 to this phone (just swapped my SIM over) and have noticed that cell reception has been an issue. This was a brand new unit and otherwise seems to work perfectly, but I've had numerous calls drop mid call, or I'll lose audio in one direction in the middle of a call. It's terrible in the car, to the point that I've had to pull over and stay in one spot to actually speak to someone (I'm using a headset while in the car, but I've also had the issue when using just the handset). I'm still on stock 7.1.2, but I noticed that today was particularly bad. I'd rather not switch back to the M8, but not being able to stay on a call w/o audio dropping out is an issue.

Poor call quality

Hi guys/girls,
I'm facing a weird issue: while making outgoing or recieving call I get alot of static sound and calls sound like I'm underwater. I live in a large city with good signal, the phone wasn't tampered with since it's brand new, a couple of weeks old, but whatever option I pick for the sound quality during calls, the sound ends messed up like in 3 out of 5 calls. I'd like to stay on stock rom, and I'd rather not return my phone since I'm prett sure it's software related since my brother has the same issue. Oh, and the issue is persistant wether I use headphones or not.
Thanks for any suggestions. :good:

Poor call quality - does your phone suffer from this issue?

Hi there, with two separate LG g2 phones, I've had the same very issue where when placing calls, I get really bad noise coming from around the headpiece area of the phone. It sounds almost like the typical interference you would get when you place your phone next to a pair of speakers.
I've never experienced this in any phone before - ever. I'm just wondering does anybody here on the forums with the international version face this very same issue? To test it properly,start a voice call - you need to be in a very quiet room and there needs to be complete silence on the other end of the line (although you can still make it out slightly when a persons talking) Thanks.

Try a different SIM from a different carrier and place a call to a different phone, with a different carrier, in a different place.
If you have the same results, you've got yourself a bad phone. If not, at least you know who to blame: your carrier.
no i can honestly say i do not have any problems with call quality both in receiving and making calls,no noises in earpiece or headphones,no audio problems at all im on international model on 02 at the min i also use orange or ee sim in it as well and no faults,i do have all the silly settings like flip your phone and answer as you raise phone to ear stuff switched off ? anyhow thats how mine is -maybe a fault ?
I've noticed that the buzzing isn't always there (even on the same number) I think the phone only starts to make the noise when it's connected to cell tower via edge (2G) When the phone is connected to H+ tower, it's all gone

[Q] TMo LG G2 tinny sound and dropped BT/WiFi

Hi everyone. I recently got a new LG G2 from tmobile directly around a month ago. I flashed CloudyG3 on it and that's about it. I love everything about except how the sound quality is... abysmal. The person I'm speaking with sounds like they're moving away from the phone at times and there's also a tinny quality. When the other person uses a headset, it sounds perfect. The second issue I have is how whenever I have Wifi and bluetooth on at the same time they'll both eventually stop working. Let's say I'm on a call and I have wifi on, after maybe 10-15 minutes or so I would not get any audio output from my bluetooth headset and will have to restart my phone or hang up the call. There's also the issues with my wifi always saying it's "turning on" but it doesn't accomplish anything until I restart the phone. Does anyone know if this is a hardware issue or just something else that can be fixed? I really want to love this phone but I can't live with having to constantly reset my phone. Thanks in advance!
Anyone? I don't think TMo can even offer me an exchange since they're completely out of stock.

[Q] LG G3 + gwatch: callers can't hear me speak over bluetooth when connected

Hi,
I realize this will sound like a strange issue, but I can reproduce it so it certainly exists.
I have an LG G3 running Android 4.4.2 on Verizon. I just bought it back in Jan '15, and the phone has been working great with no issues. I use my car's built in bluetooth connectivity to place and receive calls while driving and have had no issues doing so.
A few days ago (week of 3/9/15), I acquired a used LG G watch from a friend at work. It's in good shape; he only had it a few months, and it's working well. It connects to my phone, and I can use it to txt, place calls, etc. It's running software version 5.0.2.
I am experiencing an issue for which I cannot find the root cause. My issue is that, when I'm in my car, and both the car and the watch are connected to the phone via blue tooth, and I place or receive a call, folks on the other end cannot hear me speak. I tried it with my wife's cell phone, and can reproduce it every call. My voice is barely audible, yet bluetooth is connected to the car and I can hear the other person's voice just fine over my car speakers. As this is happening, if I pick up my phone and switch the call to the handset from bluetooth, the problem goes away and I can take the call on the handset. But as soon as I put it back to bluetooth, the problem returns. Once this happens, if I hang up and try to call the person back using either bluetooth OR the handset, the voice problem returns and I cannot be heard speaking. I tried putting my mouth up to the watch and the phone thinking maybe it was trying to use another microphone, but I still sounded muffled and far away while I was testing this with my wife's phone.
I have checked all my settings in Android Wear, my phone settings for volume as well as call settings...I cannot find anything obvious. I've googled the issue, but there is little to no information regarding this problem.
Can anyone suggest something to help fix this? I really like the G watch, and I would like to get it to work so I can enjoy it. You would think that the G3 and G watch would play nice since they are both LG!
Thanks for any help,
Nick
Having the same issue....sort of...
First, allow me to apologize for any improper formatting or if I've tendered my reply in the wrong way.
I've literally never replied on a message board in my life. Ugh, I know. How, right? Moving on...
I have an issue very similar to the one you're having, only in place of the car, put a Plantronics WalMart headset and change the G3 for it's predecessor. I notice that people call me when my watch is connected to my phone. When I answer, they claim to not be able to hear or understand what I am saying. The problem persists even if I disconnect my headset and use the G2 in either handset or speakerphone mode. The only fix I've found is to restart the phone and return the call. Even then, if the watch is still connected, only the first call can be completed with no "interference".
I've attempted to update the software and firmware to my G2, with no success. I have no idea why this issue occurs.
Also, is probably noteworthy that regardless of whatever Bluetooth device I am connected, very very often during a call, my caller's voice will shift into "speakerphone" mode without being instructed to do so. I have to open the call screen, turn off the BT, then select it again to turn it back on. The call returns to the headset, but doesn't stay there in most cases. Sometimes I have to do this 5 - 7 times a call. Other times, it remains connected as it's supposed to. Again, I can find no reason why this happens, but it's been an issue for MONTHS with my G2. And it doesn't matter what headset I am using, it just "drops" the sound to my speaker phone, but still says that it remains connected to the headset.
It's a Sprint LG G2, if that matters at all.

Have you tried going into android settings for voice input and allowing recording using Bluetooth mic?

Problems with callers hearing me

So I recently bought a Verizon s5 and right away I flashed BOK3 and rooted the s5. (followed the steps in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370) any time I call someone or they call me they say im breaking up. It's like the mic is dropping in an out like I don't have service. I read on a couple of website to turn off the "ok google" or to plug in your headphones then unplug them but nothing has worked. If I switch to speakerphone they can hear me for like 10 seconds then it goes back to them not being able to hear me. This isn't a problem with reception because I have 4 bars 4g lte and still have the issue. I have also restarted my phone called right back and they still cant hear me. If i use bluetooth in my car they can hear me fine. I haven't noticed any problems while using snapchat and the mic messing up? any one have advice? btw this is a brand new s5.
