Cannot hear other person during call? - Epic 4G General

So usually after the phone has been in my pocket a bit, if I try to make a call, the screen and everything looks normal, but I hear no ringing. I don't know if it is actually going through but I doubt it.
Hang up, call right back... the phone starts ringing as normal.
I do this more and more often lately. Have to call everyone twice.
Has anyone else ever had this?
I've had this happen on several different ROMs, and I've been using 2.2 since it was publicly available.

same thing is happening to me, figured it was one of the bugs with dk28, hoping the official release will fix this annoyance

+1 same bug---same hope

I've been having it at least since DK17, maybe earlier.

I have the same problem.

Same problem as soon as I installed DK28. Hopefully they have these kinks worked out in the final release.

had this same problem from long ago. but i heard it was part of the delay for then the call is being sent 2 the tower... or something along those lines

Also intermittently having this issue, but it happened with my previous, non-android phone, too. I'm pretty sure the problem isn't the phone or its software.

I'd believe it was the network easier if hanging up and calling back didn't fix it...

Same problem. When I try the first time and hear nothing, no ringing or anything, the person Im calling says their phone rang and they answered it but heard nothing.

I've had this happen also.

So why is this not widely discussed? Did everyone think it was just them? I know that's how I felt...
This is a pretty serious issue. Is anyone on stock ROM?

i have this same issue and it only started happening once i flashed froyo. quantum rom. i dont think this was happening on eclair from what i remember but also people do say their phone rings. this is kinda annoying.

I'm using Quantum, too...

this started happening to me right when I installed DK28.

I had this issue too when I installed DK28.
I just flashed back to DI18 cause it was driving me nuts.
But one thing I found was that if you turn the speaker phone on then off, your good to go.

Have this problem. I have froyo, didn't happen on DK18.

Same here. By the way...I've also had a failed audio issue on voice dialing as well. First call the receving part can never hear me. I have to hang up and call right back manually.

Omg I thought I was crazy! Its been doing this since dk17. It only happens when I call businesses though :/

Okay, this just happened to me on my new flash of Cyanogenmod. So it's either a radio or "didn't wipe cache enough times" problem, right?

Incoming calls from my GF and she can't hear me?

Hi guys,
I've got a weird issue that seems to be happening only with my girlfriend when she calls me and/or I call her, but mostly when she calls me. Sometimes she will call me and I pick up and I can hear her but she can't hear me. It seems to be only her that is experiencing this, and I'm not hitting the mute key or putting her on hold accidentally or anything of the sort... if I call her back immediately then everything is fine... just wondering if anyone else is experiencing something similar/has a solution?
Thanks in advance!
happens to me on occasion as well
same. i just usually redial.
known issue .. change gf
I have exactly the same intermittent issue when I dial home and speak to my wife - every so often I can hear her and she is unable to hear me.
Hasn't happened with other numbers?
I was very pissed off when that happened to me couple of times..
I'm not sure, but after that i was looking for the "audio settings" and one of the switches was set to 0,.. not sure if that was the case but i hope it was.
Will play some more with that once i get my second nexus
I had the problem where they couldn't hear me, called two numbers to confirm, did a reboot and haven't seen it again.
Lmao! Classic!

surprised to see this. Anyone had it since receiving the OTA update (which I STILL have not received)?

Ha ha ha... she does have an iPhone... hmmm you may be on to something J/K... but yeah I'm hoping maybe the OTA will fix it... I hope
I am having this issue to when I call my mom who is on Verizon, and a few other friends. For me it happens randomly in the call, nothing gets muted or put on hold, I can hear them, but they can't hear me, so it usually ends up in them hanging up cause they thought I hanged up lol. This issue is still present after the OTA update, but I haven't tried it on a custom ROM yet.
ive had this issue w/tmobile in general. ive been using unlocked phones in the past, however. dont know if that makes a difference...used phones like the iphone and htc touch hd. i usually have to redial and its fine but once in a while it will happen. i have the nexus 1 w/stock rom. no OTA update yet.
Hmmmm... I've used unlocked phones on T-Mo's network as well, but this is the first time I've had this problem in areas with 2+ bars of reception... interesting.

The Wierdest problem with N1 [VERY WIERD]!!

Hi,
I have just witnessed the wierdest problem yet on ANY phone I have EVER owned.
The problem is as follows:
While someone is calling, I will suddenly start hearing the person calling me on the loud speaker of the phone WHILE its still ringing and the person on the other end HAVE NO IDEA that I can hear him !!!!!!!!
So I start hearing the ringtone AND the person on the other end both at the same time !!!!.
It happens randomly and it happens without any interferance from me.
The phone is using the Stock ERE27 with superboot and root.
I have no clue as to what could even cause this, or how its possible. If anyone has ANY idea........PLEASE let me know!.
Wow, is this consistent?
I'd say it might be a provider issue actually.. I may be wrong, but I think that unless provider sends a "connect" command that would start transfering the voice over to your phone, your N1 wouldn't be able to make you hear him/her.
Just thinking out loud. Maybe worth calling their support or going on their forums to see if other people have same problem and if it's specific to N1 or that provider.
I never had that problem with any of the phones (AT&T US)

Nope, its not consistent, it happens out of the blue and randomly. But it does happen quiet often........say around once every 2 days or so. I thought it could be provider related as well, but I have been using the same sim card for many years and I never had anything like this......chances are that this started happening from the provider around the same time i started using my N1 are quiet slim........it will have to be one hell of a coincidence.
I have 2 other friends with N1s and they are using the same telecom provider as myself, but they have no such issues :S

Hmm, well maybe it is N1 then. have you tried calling google?
I cant call Google, they wont support me since im not living in the U.S .
Although I bought it from there, but im living in Dubai. So I doubt I will be getting any support from them.

I had this problem alot with my old panasonic gd60 phone in Jamaica on the DIGICEL network. I figured it was cross talking interferance until I started hearing things I shouldn't

Old sim cards can cause problems. At least in the greater than 1-2 year range or so with tmobile and with 3g being added to the network lately. Get a new sim card in store and see how that helps... it shouldn't hurt anything.

That's actually kinda cool, I wish my phone did that.
That's bloody weird :S
well, I would rather find out why or how is this happening before I start changing sims. Because the timming of the problem is too close to ignore ! It only started happening like 2 weeks after I started using N1.
This happened to me last night for the first time. No other phone did this and i used the same sim. My sim is not old.
Finally !! Someone else ! So im not alone.......and this is looking more and more like a manufacturing problem with the N1s......and I would say this a major screw up!
I have the same problem as well, first only with 1 person but at the moment i can hear everybody before accepting. I dont have a problem with it, its good if they say something bad about you.
wow that's a weird bug! we just found a weird bug on the palm pre, where when you are on a call and someone else calls in with call waiting. if the current active call hangs up, the palm pre automatically answers the incoming call waiting call seemlessly so you dont know the difference! yet the phone still shows the original caller ID, and the call time counter still continues for the original call.
kinda a serious bug in a way, lets say you dont wanna answer that person's call, but the pre does it anyway.
It's happened to me on an old Nokia...(6 years ago) on Cingular. I think it's got something to do with the carrier and the simcard security. When it happened to me, it happened the other way. I was calling and I could hear the conversation before they picked up.
Does anyone know where I should be looking to find any clue as to whats happening in background thats causing this malfunction ? I would like to try and re-create the issue other phones.....but I will need to find out first if its software or hardware related.
Basically what im asking is........where do I look (log files and stuff like that) to give me hints ?
I'd like to see how to enable that feature!!! I wanna see what some folks say before I answer their calls!!!
This used to happen to me when I first bought the nokia 6600. When I got an incoming call, I usually press the silence button, hold the phone to my ear, and then pressed answer. But before I could press answer, I could hear the people on the other end, *****ing about me, calling to sell credit card, etc etc.. (lol)
I thought it was the phone, but few other people got the same issue.. with different phones.
it was eventually rectified by the carrier. (As I did nothing to the phone and all was back to normal)
So No one has any bright ideas to solving this mystery ? From the posts so far, it seems like a device issue more than a telecom issue......
lol. it happened to me once.
i have experienced this so many times well mostly with a very old sony phone. like the pervoius post mentioned, u change the volume while ur phone is ringing before answering the call. u put the phone on ur ears and boom.
i enjoyed it when i had that phone. always hearing ppl talking **** about you without them knowing is power: p
anyways my nexus one did it. stock not rooted not unlocked. using it in oman

[Q] Keyboard and Calls Issues

I love my Epic. Recently I have had two problems.
My physical keyboard doesnt register every letter I type. I would say it has about a 90% accuracy. It is not a particular key that doesnt work. Anyone else having this issue? Would this be covered under the manufacturer's warranty> I dont have a Sprint warranty.
Many times when I place a call the first attempt I hear nothing and the person on the other end hears me. When I try the call again it works every time. Any ideas?
Much thanks!
the keyboard problem was discovered when the epic first cam out. There's still no fix or workaround, except that some people think disabling swype will help.
The calling problem is a software one. Are you running dk28? That's a bug with it. You won't hear nothing, so you hang up and then they'll call you back like "why didn't you say anything?" Lol
I tried ordering chinese food and my phone kept doing that so I had to keep caling and I'm sure we were all annoyed lol

I read on another thread about the call issue, and someone said to "toggle" the speaker phone icon. For me the Toggle fix around works, also another statement was to wait for the timer to start counting before putting the phone to the ear and turning off the screen.
It's nice to know that I'm not alone. The Chinese food story is funny. People think I can't operate my phone!
Yes, I am running DK28 with a midnight ROM. T believe the keyboard issues was present when I had Eclair, too.
I'll try the phoej work around.
Thanks fellas.

Sound randomly stops on calls

This is a new issue that I'm having, just over the past couple of days. When I'm on a call, randomly a few minutes in, the other person can no longer hear me. It doesn't happen on every call, just some and I have no idea what's causing it. Has anyone else had a similar issue?
what rom are you running?
I have a few times but I think it is more of a network issue because I have a blackberry on sprint for work and out does the same thing even with full signal.

I'm running stock. Never rooted.
It must be a network thing, I am having the same issue, but only a couple of times over the last 5 days.... I am running stock DK28

I've had a similar problem start this week where there is no audio when beginning a call. Very frustrating, never had an issue before, have been on Syndicate 2.1 rom since november. One time I eventually got a CDMA failure call dropped popup error, so hopefully it's just temporary network issues. (50 miles apart)
have the same thing going on.... if i turn on the speakerphone then they can hear me again. but you have to talk on speakerphone for the remainder of the call.
i thought it was a rom issue, i run AOSP 3.1 though.... seems kinda strange for it to be a network deal. wonder if there is something up with the phones??

Issue: Failed Calling

It Could be my provider problem, but just wanted to make sure.
Is anyone having failed attempts at calling , where it continues to keep ending the call every time u press talk?
Yep. When that happens nothing works. Texts. Email. Everything. Reset fixes it.

Happened to me first time today, had phone since launch.
Flashed my first customer ROM yesterday (CM7) and thought it might be that. Only a reboot fixed it, not even switching to Airplane mode.
How often does it happen to you guys?

it started happening to me recently, and quite often.
i really dislike pressing call over and over for it to keep failing.
I thought it was my carrier too, but normally a reboot fixes everything!
That was happening to me quite a lot. During a phone call it would drop the call but had full 3g service. Nothing was working, calls, internet, emails, google chat.
Hasn't happened since I did a factory reset. It's a pain in the arse to keep entering all the info again but it hasn't done it since.
I guess it a temporary solution.
It happens to me as well.
Happens to me too. I'm not sure if it's just the Nexus S since it happened pretty often on my Nexus One. I use Google Voice with all calls and I think that that may be the culprit.
It may have started with the 3.3.2 update for me.
It needs a reboot to fix it. Really annoying.
This happened to me yesterday. At first I was like wtf is going on here, then I rebooted the phone.
Two days ago I un-installed the e-bay app as I noticed it started up all the time by itself, and since doing so have not had any calls dropping out.
Ok heres one for you guys!
Theres been multiple times i've been asked why I didnt answer my phone when people called, but on my phone it has not rung nor does it show a missed call. My GF just called and said she called a few minutes prior but i didnt pick up. She knew i mentioned this problem so she called again and i got it.
I REALLY dont like this bug......
Calls drop with 2.3. 3 too.
Dial..., nothing. Dial..., nothing.... sometimes it takes multiple attempts, with mane green bars.
