Hey guys I searched the forum but didn't find anything on this particular problem.
I got a replacement warranty swap N1 sent to me and for the first 2 days it was working fine but for some unknown reason I cannot hear the other person on a call and the ONLY way I can hear the other person is to have the speakerphone on
Has anyone ever dealt with this? Any ideas?
Thank you guys for any help you can give me.
Did you check the voice volume setting?
Did you check if the physical speaker is working at all? It might be disconnected.
Return for another replacement, I say. If the voice volume setting is ok - it's most probably a faulty speaker.
I don't have that exact problem, but sometimes, pretty randomly, when I swipe to answer a call, it answers with speakerphone turned on, which can be pretty startling (and, depending on what the first thing the caller says is, pretty embarrassing).

Hi all,
Does anyone else have problems with people not being able to hear them when they use speaker phone on their MDA Pro? I can hear them as clear as you like, they just can't hear me.
It seems like it's something to do with noise cancellation software in the pro. Does anyone know a way to get around this?
Thanks
Sank
Anyone ? I really need to find a solution to this.
TIA
Sank
Have you tried in an otherwise silent environment? I find the speakerphone on mine near useless unless I shout down the thing almost directly into the microphone and the other caller shouts back.
I'm getting reports that people cannot hear me on speakerphone now. It was OK a couple of weeks ago (well, never got any complaints ).
I've installed PocketZenPhone recently, so maybe a messed the settings up . Haven't had time to dig into it.
Is there anything you've installed recently that may have changed things (almost impossible to know with Win based systems !)
Regards,
Lance
Glad I'm not the only 1, but does anyone have a solution?
Xiasma - I find mine worst when the person I'm phoning is in a loud environment. I also find people can hear me better if I turn the volume down.
Lance - I haven't installed anything new for a long time, so I don't think it's something I've installed.
Thanks

On my 8125, when ever I answer an incoming call with the button on my bluetooth headset, the caller gets a brief loud noise. I have tried several different bluetooth headsets and received the same issue. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Any ideas on fixing this? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Wow, I've been having the same problem. My wife always complains because whenever I answer with my BT headset she gets the loud noise in her ear. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let us know.
Bump- I have the same issue...is it the BT stack- does anyone have some advice on what to check?
Thanks.

People get REALLY upset when it happens, they say its VERY loud. So I've been having to answer on the phone.. THEN activate the BT. NOT very safe while driving!!
Well....interesting. I hear the SAME thing from people that call me on my 8125. I am obviously not alone.
Curious - is everyone using Voice Command? Could this be the culprit?
OK- I found out what the problem was with MY phone...it was the vibrate option.
My phone was set to "vibrate AND ring"- this caused the noise when answering calls only (to the calling party).
Setting it to "Ring" or "Vibrate THEN ring" and waiting for the vibrate to complete prior to answering the call stopped all the noise...
Hope that this helps!
Thanaks for the input it works for me.

Cool. My wife and coworkers are going to be very happy about this. I've had people refuse to call me due to that loud noise when I answer (they send me an SMS asking me to call them )
Hi there everyone.
I am a new user of an HTC Hero.
I have a problem on incoming calls or sms.
I leave the HTC to lock by itself and, when i have an incoming call or sms, only the screen turns on. I can see the number of the dialer who is calling me on the screen but NO ringtone sounds from the phone. The same problem occurs when an sms is received. No ring is sounded by the phone.
I have checked everything concerning the sound preferences and (i believe) that i have not left anything un-touched.
Can anyone please "save" me from madness???
Thanks in advance!
I can't say for sure this is what happened, but humor me for a second and check a few things:
Of course double check that your volume is all the way up.
When you use the volume rocker on the side of the phone, does it beep?
Do you have any music on it? If so, play it without the headphones plugged in. Do you hear the music?
When you turn speakerphone on during a call, do you hear the other person?
Do you hear any of these sounds using headphones? Do you hear people through the earpiece on a call?
If you don't hear any sound from any of the first few bullets, but you do hear things through the headphones and earpiece, it may be the speaker in the back that's broken. Again, this is just one possible cause, but I had it happen to me. I have no idea how to fix it other than to send it back to HTC or attempt to replace it yourself (I don't know how to do this and would not recommend it if you're not comfortable with it!). Thankfully, my phone fixed itself after a few days (well, with a little help, I accidentally dropped it on the floor from a height of about four feet, but again, I wouldn't recommend that!). Anyway, just a thought, hope it at least helps you diagnose the problem.
I had an issue with my LG G2 where people can't hear me when I call them. If I turn on speakerphone, they can usually hear me then. So I exchanged my G2 for a new one. Same problem now. About every 5th call or so, people can't hear me. It's driving me nuts. Could there be some software that's messing things up? I have google voice installed, and while most of the calls in question are GV calls, not all of them are. Just called someone now from my regular number and they couldn't hear me. Anyone have any tips or even advice on how I can tackle this?
Running latest Android updates and apps always, no root. Verizon. Calls placed from random locations (and even different states).
I am having the same issue. There are a couple of things I have tried. The most promising is to turn off Google hotword detection on every screen.
You can also try turning off the Privacy Keeper and Voice Enhancement in Call Settings. If any of this works for you, or you find and answer, let me know!

Having the same issue with 2 lines, same LG G2 phone. Called Verizon, was told it sounds like a hardware issue. I'm thinking it's something to do with their Android update personally.
Had exact same issue and took phone to repair center. They said it was mic issue. They ended up replacing the entire phone but guess what - issue is still there on new phone.

I've seen this issue on many forums and with the number of people that are having the problem, it has to be either LG flaw or a software issue. I'm trying turning off the ok google, noise cancellation, and privacy keeper. But I'm pretty sure I tried those on the last phone with the same results.
Just to make sure we're all having the same issue, you can be heard once you turn on speakerphone, correct?
Update on this: Still having the issue after disabling ok google hotword..

I read your reply some time ago but didn't answer because I had no answer.
Today the bug appeared again so I turned on speakerphone like you said. Guess what, they could then hear me!
Thanks for the tip @eepyikes, its a good workaround but lets hope for a proper solution.

Any of you with this issue also have a Pebble or other type of smart watch?
I've noticed the same problem but the issue goes away when my Pebble isn't actively paired.

-Correction- I hadn't had this issue since I disconnected my Pebble about 10 days back. It came back today when I made a call. What I noticed today is.......
When I switched to the speakerphone the person still couldn't hear me very well. Switching back to mic the problem is still there. But when I turned on my BT headset the audio was fine. Switching back to the phone mic from the BT the problem cleared up.
Did a test call initiating the call on the BT headset and had the same audio problem through BT. Switching back to the phone mic or speakerphone cleared it up.
Initiated another call on the speakerphone. Same audio problem. Switched to BT and it cleared up again. Switched back to the phone mic and it was still fine.
Seems the issue is there when initiating the call on BT, mic or speakerphone but switching from BT to the phone or phone to BT clears it up. I'm on a D801 (TMO) and first noticed this about three weeks back.
Rebooting the phone seemed to clear it up at least for the short term. I just noticed that the Google search app updated on the phone about two/three weeks back. Seems about the same time I started noticing the issue.
I had a backup of Google search 4.1.29 from back in January. Just restored that version and blocked it from updating to see if the issue comes back again.
Interesting to see this is also on the d802. Mine is the VS980.
The 13qcelp trick does not fix it. So tired of this!
Any other tricks out there??
Happened twice in one day. New record for me. Sick of people saying "hello?? Anyone there??? Hello??" until i turn speakers on. With speakers sound is horrible so really annoying! Wonder if issue will happen with AOSP/CM roms.....

Anyone else experiencing super low microphone volume when using hangout calls on speakerphone/video calls? The other person i'm calling says they can barely hear me.

yes, very much so. I may have found a weird workaround as this was annoying me for some time. You must leave the call screen up and let the first couple rings happen with speakerphone off. Then switch to speakerphone and do not leave the screen or turn off the call screen until the call is initiated. After that mess that i stumbled upon, i could be heard much better when making a speakerphone call with hangouts. Also, make sure not to cover both the front speakers or the mic in the back. Basically you must hold the phone in your hands as I believe laying it down on either face will obstruct mics.... Obviously a flaw that should be worked out I would hop with software or hangouts updates. I have opened a complaint thread on the google hangouts forums. I suggest you go there and explain that you have the problem too so that it may be looked at a bit more...
Thanks, posted on the Hangout support forum, so one else replied and said they have the same issue as well. Unfortunately though, I can't get your trick to work for me, super low mic volume unless I put my mouth right next to the top speaker grill. Hopefully this gets fixed, I think my wife is tired of seeing my chin during video calls.
I'm experiencing the same problem but with WhatsApp calls. It also happen on normal phone calls where there's no sound coming or going out, have to hang up and try the call again.
Anyone notice the speakers are only good at 100%.. Lower it to 90-80% and I can barely hear them, standing at about 1ft - 1.5ft
No news on this? Renders speaker calls on Hangouts, Viber etc useless.
Also, where on Google Forums did you post?
