After reading a lot of threads i am quite confused with the "phone" issue as it is not clearly described anywhere.
Ok, i've understood that phone functionality is possible but...
Can we make calls?
Does it work well?
What issues do we have with making calls?
Is it fully working?

Yes, yes, none, yes.
Only problem is that you cannot use any headset.

Can we make calls in a phone-ish way (device to ear) or do we need to use speakerphone?
Forgive me if my questions sound stupid but i dont have a shift yet.
There is no internal speaker
WHen using the HTC Shift to make calls, you must always enable speakerphone (some roms do it automatically)
So there's no way of having a private conversation with your Shift,
unless you really are alone in the room, train, planet.
There were some people trying to get the earphone working, but since
GSM calling was released, nothing happened above the surface.
The headphone + mic is important as it completes GSM calling feature.
phoneless almost

Too bad would really to use it as a primary phone.
Where are we on headset connectivity?
Do we have any clue on how to implement it?

I was working on it, but then some kind of bounty bounced for doing this, so I gave up to leave the team of bounty hunters work for this.
Seriously, I might have some time for this in september.
Is that really a reason you stopped ? If so , I will put out a bounty to stop all other bounties... So I'll pay everyone off to let you do your magic

No, I just started a huge project for work that I'll finish in two weeks.
I can do it all!!!
Hey i could make calls, using a headset, and even using a bluetooth headset!!!
My Shift takes no more then 400mb ram and can even play back 720HD movies.
Music sounds great on it and the battery! well what can I say, the battery lasts for 9 hours on a single charge!!!!!
I am also using the SD card on the WM side and running Tomtom7!!!!
oh wait
then i woke up with a wet patch on my PJ's damn it was only a wet dream!!!!!!

Any news on this thaihugo? I'd slip a fiver into your paypal account if you got this working!
EDIT: Ok so bounty at the moment is:
vinokirk: £5
Josap: £5
-------
Total £10
Come on Thaihugo, imagine that £10 burning a hole in your paypal account!
word, same here
Josap, maybe you can change the title of this thread to:
'Headset phone function, do we have it or not? !!!Bounty now £10!!!'
or something!?
last time there was a bounty, I decided NOT to work on the subject
I would hate seeng someone grab it before me...
Seriously, I have no more time for this anymore, But if somebody makes a breakthrough, I can help.
Well in my case could donate you for the work you put in and promise i woulnt give it to someone else

Could you at least tell us how far you got?
Do you still have your Shift?
So let me get this right. At the moment we can:
a)Use the loudspeaker of the Shift to hear people, and
b)Use the mic to speak to people.
Basically its like a regular phone on loudspeaker, am I right? Can you plug in headphones and hear the person your speaking to and talk to them with the mic
And the ultimate goal would be to either:
a)get a wired 3.5mm earpiece+mic working,or
b)get a bluetooth headset+mic working
Now some questions:
1)Thaihugo when you said 'i might have some time for this in september', were you going to look at wired or Bluetooth headset conectivity? Where were you going to start looking?
2)Is the 3.5mm socket a plain 3.5mm socket that will just outputs sound or is it the special type that also allows the input of audio?
3)Is the 3.5mm socket useable for audio output on the WM side? i.e. if you listen to an mp3 thru WMP on the WM side, can you hook up some headphones and the sound will come out.
If you could have a look at my questions and answer them to the best of your knowlege that would be great! I havent got my Shift yet but I am serious about trying to improve it. The main thing for me is SD card access. I woud like to know as much info about that as possible, to find out where people have got with it.
The connector supports a mic/headset as it is also included. However it is only usable on Vista side for apps ie Skype.
SD access is unlikely but in the unlikely event that it would be possible we would most likeley get WiFi too since as it is a SDIO card.
As I said in another post, I still have the shift but no time for this. And also, I'm not part of the people who received more than 3000$ for this job. And no, I don't want any bounty, I'm just fed up to take the interim for a shift project that never delivered a think, and just complained when I released anything before their supposed "nearly ready" roms.
If you start a group of your own, and make signficant breaktrough, I will happily jump in it and help. But searching alone, for Saiweb or me, has it's limit. Cmonex is not a rom developer, she is more on the SPL radio side, pof seems to be off the shift forum. This product is aging. Try and think if you really want to involve in it's customisation.
I've posted some other post recently where I state that Shift team has delivered beyond expectation. Reading this, I'd say : Due to many efforts from many people , the Shift got functionality beyond expectations. Dunno who's who anymore.
The Shift deserves SD access and BT. Like BattleStar Galactica deserved a remake.

Yes I am sure i want to start developing for the Shift! Imagine if I and other said the same thing you did about old cars, take my dads 1949 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, if we had said that about them then there woud be none left!
Could you perhaps PM me how far you got. Were you looking at the bootloader, hardware etc. Seriously any help would be appreciated
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

I have the problem if I even slightly slant the phone away from my mouth they cant hear me at all.. and sometimes just out of the blue.. like heffy said.. it's weird and annoying

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

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.
Hey guys, so just yesterday I haven't been able to hear anything through the earpiece. Every time I receive a call, the person on the other end can hear me but I can't hear them. If I play through the speakers or if I plug in some earphones, then i'm able to hear sound but not through the earpiece. It's a huge inconvenience and just wondering if anyone has encountered this problem and what can I do to fix it?
Many thanks guys

On that one you should hear a high tone, if you don't you probably have damaged the normal earpiece.

I have both features enabled on eligible devices, confirmed my call was on lte, and it sounded the same as the 20 year old codec we still use. Anyone else have a difference experience?

Yes.
I was in a weak area though so sometimes there were voice drops.
The quality was loud and quite good. Regular VoLTE sucks for quality though.
How did you verify it was an HD call?

Verizon is following a good standard right now with HD calling too. They should be able to connect up with ATT soon.
HD Voice in and of itself isn't a gimmick, the dynamic and frequency range are noticeably better..
On my wired VOIP office phone that is....
I have a couple of customers that I can tell instantly they have a HD polycom VOIP phone, it's like going from ****ty earbuds to a real set of
cans. I talk to people for a living, five days a week, for the last decade. Cell phones all suck for voice call quality. Period. Fin.
I hang up on people that call me on a cell with ****ty reception/quality, and that's 3/4 of them.
It amazes me that after all these years, it still sucks so often.
The cell HD stuff? Wouldn't hold my breath...

I only see HD connections if both are polycoms.
Far as I can tell yes. Lot of smallish businesses are getting service from RingCentral or one of those guys now.
Haven't tried to see if HD works on the VOIP phone apps from the service provider or not.
It'd be nice if they can work this crap out for regular cell calls. For all our advances it's mighty frustrating
in 2014 to still have such ****ty call quality.
When you call granny, does she keep saying "Huh?! Wut?!" or does the conversation flow pretty well? Rate this thread to express how you feel about the OnePlus 7's call quality. A higher rating indicates that calls are clear and crisp, and that regardless of background noise, you can hear the other party clearly (and with ample volume) and they can hear you.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Good
I come from a Nokia 7plus, this oneplus 7 is way better in volume!
Call quality is very OK. Both sides hear each other loud and clear.
But i find the earpeace to be a bit too loud on minimum volume. Its easy for other people to listen to what the other person says.
Anyone with the same experience?
I thought the same

That's exactly what i thought, when I make a call I have to separate the phone from my ear because It's to loud
new update 5.6 has been released .. it claimed that they optimize the call quality
It's worse off for me

Yes I did, and yes it's only on speaker phone. I really loved that phone but it was a deal breaker for me. I ended up selling it.
I have heard that the truly global version which I believe is gm1903 may work better for the US on TMobile. But haven't had the courage to buy it and try it.
Well, I can say for sure that when loundspeaker is turned on the others have problems to hear me well. They say that I speak too quietly and sometimes like I lose signal. But signal is pretty well because in the same situation my other phone works perfectly. Anyone else with the same problem?
