Update: Tried a call with @deduction and VoIP (Viber) is working awesome!
Dear G2 users,
I had a Nexus 4 before and i had a lot of issues with VoIP, particularly Viber, ( but Line and Skype too ).
The voices incoming from the Nexus 4's "earpiece" was being exported by the Nexus 4's microphone.....generating "echo" to the others phones.
In summary, echo & noise cancellation wasn't working in my previous Nexus 4.
Source: Nexus 4 Unusable for VoIP Calls
Now i have a Galaxy Nexus, so i don't have this problem anymore.
But could you tell me if LG G2 is clear for VoIP calls? Of course that to find this issue, you need to hold another phone...(not the LG G2).
for instance, i discovered this issue on my Nexus 4 because my gf told me that she heard her own voice with Viber while she was talking to me.
I don't want to buy a G2 and have this issue again, that's why i'm asking this to you!
Best regards,
Sebastian.
Nobody is using Viber?
Please, someone could try this?

I have viber, PM me if you care to test it directly with my G2.
I wanted to say that i just had a great call with @deduction using Viber: (LG G2 at USA vs Galaxy Nexus at Argentina) no echo, no issues.
So, the Nexus 4's echo_cancellation issue with the VoIP, that many people have/had, it's not here in the new LG G2 with Snapdragon 800 :good: :good:

Not a single VoIP app working. i tried viber, talkray, tango. It simply does not work.
i dont know what else to do if VoIP not working useless for me.
Using stock (Rooted) 4.4.2 build no: D80220d.
I heard some people saying that it works on build no: D80220b not sure though.
the other problem is dark front video when using video cal app (not camera app) ... my next phone is NOT LG [/QUOTE]
i have posted a negative review in LG.COM and they removed my review /// because it was NEGATIVE
all reviews are positive
i will never never never buy LG again ... any product of LG...

Hello,
A simple solution is to flash CloudyFlex 2.5 or use Mahdi rom. In both cases all the VoIP are working perfectly.
With only one exception. "sometimes when you switch to speaker it cause lots of noise and call disconnect" other than that no problems at all.

Hi, @Viber Team! It's possible to implement call record feature on Viber?

Hi,
This option is currently not available. We will look into it as a possibility for future updates. Thanks for the suggestion!

I have just started using the G2 after much hesitation and I must say that I think it is a fantastic phone except for one major problem. When using VoIP services such as Viber, Hangouts, etc., I experience poor call quality and the user at the other end hears echo. After reading around a bit, I believe this is a software issue where the phone does not deactivate the second microphone during VoIP calls as it does during normal network calls.
To test my hypothesis, I established a Viber call with the normal poor quality, then I changed to: 1) SPEAKER PHONE – improved quality and no echo 2) HEAD PHONES – improved quality and no echo 3) BACK TO NORMAL CALL – poor quality and echo issues.
I had written to LG some months earlier and they acknowledged problems with VoIP calling, telling me that it would be fixed. I will write again with my observations and hopefully it will be fixed with the next software update, rumored to be Lollipop.

I ask because I saw 2 other threads of people trying it (Will try to find them) but wanted to make sure they had CWM before they really put things to work with the custom ROM.
More than anything, wanted this to be a discussion thread for system tweaks etc now that the tMo version is available, it won't be long for others to follow.
I believe koush posted a vid on youtube of cwm running on the tab.

Clockworks only works on bone stock tmobile tabs which is unfortunate for me since i need the euro firmware to make calls. I probably would flash a new kernel if tho. Waiting to see if anyone is brave enough to do it.

I'm using it on a tmo tab with JMA and Koush's kernel fixes the bluetooth mic bug for me.
If it's anything like the phones, flashing kernels shouldn't be an issue. If it messes up you can always go back via nandroid. If we can cook up some kernels that promote underclocking/undervolting we could start looking at better battery life for our devices.
From my experience with the phone area flashing radios is where the bricking occurs because of the bootloaders. Never flash the same radio twice. Also you should never flash just for the hell of it because of the riskyness of it.
I think now that we have nandroid cooking up roms should easy.

What's the bluetooth mic bug? (Searched on this term, and it only returned this thread!).
Regards,
Dave
i think its an issue with the NA tabs that prohibit the use of bluetooth microphone. maybe just another level of security to prevent convenient use of the phone
The N1 has a similar CPU and generally only gets to around 1.15Ghz, a _few_ will manage 1.2 in a stable fashion. I wouldn't expect the tab to get much beyond that.
I'm actually more interested in being able to UNDERclock the CPU, doing so on my N1 improves the battery life significantly.
The addition of the On-Demand governer would be beneficial as currently the SGT is stuck on the Conservative governer. I believe with the N1 kernel this is a compile-time option so with any luck it's as simple on the SGT.
Im pretty sure 1.4 will be possible but maybe not completely stable. I know some have gotten 1.3 stable on the galaxy s phones so it should be feasible.

Ferk, I made 15 test calls to a voicemail fine, then go to call a friend and no mic! And the camera doesnt work oh well, I'm too damn optimistic.

Actually, the mic works fine on a cellular call. Its the VOIP calls from SipDroid, CSipSimple or Skype that has the microphone problem.

im on sprint cdma, but i used some common sense to get free incoming/outgoing but of course so far ONLY voip thru csipsimple and sipdroid...im still testing them both(i prefer csipsimple ui) but it works very reliably...i test using my evo & my fiances hero to call my tab.only sipdroid lets me use my bt headset i use for media though. to get this to work you just need mobile data and/or wifi. i presume the bug is only related to gsm models.

hi,
i've tried about 5 different 2.2.1 i 9000 roms which ported to vibrant
when i record in the built in call recorder in the dialer it records and saved.
but when play it in the phone's voice recorder or music player and even in the computer i hear some sound of like a dc signal (like hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)
i wiped all the entrie phone include my sd card
and all the roms i tried it does the same problem
please tell me what i missed
i use overstock kernel which automaticly replaced by flashing one of this 5 roms i tried
anyone can check if it works good on his vibrant?
thanks for helping
i have same problem, never sucesse
Only certain Vibrants that were manufactured more recently are able to use this feature. Several developers have confirmed this.
Some have specific dates, but I don't remember.
Manufactured October and after if I remember correctly

i recently got a new factory refurbished vibrant and it still doesn't work. maybe i should try for another

please devs guys do something we really need this feature,
'I can guess it's maybe changing the output and the input names of the vibrant's audio module somewhere in code or something can be fixed by kernel mod addition
Who's ready to do this?
Thanks.
Any updates on this?
Oh SNAP! known BUG in da hizzouse I still honestly don't know why you would want this feature: "Oh yes you did say you hate my mother mister,......(looks down at phone searches for recording) LISTEN, snap!"...... but, tru dat. tru dat not werkin here either just checked on Malice2.3.1.

Werkin dates and ROMs: NONE
NON-Werkin dates and phones: Allhaha. Seriously though might be helpful for others.
one way is to flash china unicom modem.
but this modem has different 3g module, so you can just get gsm signal. no 3G
Does call recording has to do with modem driver?
I was able to get call recording to work! Without using the speaker phone!!
Im using Bi-winning v2. I bought my vibrant in september so its manufatured before october (horrible gps). But the combination of Bi-winning and Tape-a-talk from the market and I get to record calls. It also worked when I flashed simply honey using tape-a-talk.

Video calling was working just fine on my XOOM until the above update so.....has anyone got an APK for the previous version that they could possibly link me to?
I dunno if anyone else uses it but today when we tried to call my dad, the XOOM just locked up and was locked in the call with black video window. Very frustrating and my daughter really wanted to see her grandad.
So, any help greatly appreciated. ;-)
This version is pretty old but its the only one that works problem free on my Nexus One

Funny you say that, 'cause about an hour after the update I made a ~10-minute Video call to Israel (and one later within Cali, a lot less interesting ) and it worked flawlessly, w/o even any sync or lag issues.
Did you try rebooting? I'm rooted and overclocked, but I suspect that's had very little to do with my good performance.
Well i managed to track down 2.5.0.160 which seems to be the one i had prior to the issues and all is well again.
Thanks for responding guys.

Can someone with the Vzw LG G2 thats not having any phone call (quality issues) please send me there apk. Im trying to test some stuff out.
I doubt it might make a difference but its worth a try. :fingers-crossed:

What is terrible about the call quality? Mine sound OK (and FWIW I highly doubt its in the APK that would be causing the problem)
OTA
Are you OTA or not? OTA patched the radio and supposedly helped with quality issues.

No i'm not OTA, but I did update to 11a radio and the static on each call still exists. I believe the OTA though was incorporated in the ROM i flashed. FYI, I'm running the CLEANROM v1.0
As posted in my other thread and other forums: http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-g2/314167-poor-call-quality-verizon-g2.html
Some people are reporting bad-horrible call quality on their G2. My situation is that on most of my calls i get loud screeching/ digital distortion like sound on every other word the other person is saying. As if i have bad reception, but this occurs when i have full bars and 4g. So I thought it might be the phone apk. The reason behind that thought was the problem seems to get a whole lot better when in clear the data and cache of the phone apk in my app manager.
So i wanted to try and install another working phone apk all together.
I might not do anything but i should try. So who can post their Vzw G2 phone apk?
Side note: I've had this problem before and after OTA update and now on Clean Rom.
Uploading now,I'll send you the link soon.
VZW LG G2
I got my phone on eBay a few months ago with a broken SIM slot. Got that fixed and I've had no complaints with it until the kit Kat update. Download the ota opdate, then accidentally did a factory reset when attempting to load boot loader so should be a more or less clean install.
Off the top of my head my problems are:
Double tap doesn't work ever
Can't click install in playstore
GPS is useless
Copy and paste only works 1/2 the time
Can't paste number into text messages
Auto focus on videos is extremely slow
Trouble clicking into areas to bring up the keyboard occasionally
People complain my voice is quiet in phone calls
In general it's also sluggish
Battery life isn't horrible, but not as good as before.
Also my phone is an unbranded canadian version with no bloatware, or carrier programs installed. Supposedly the guy I bought it off of won it in a contest from lg or something along those lines. If I was to install a custom Rom would anyone have any idea which ones I can install without bricking my phone?
I only have a couple of your issues after the kit Kat update. The GPS never working and I don't think the battery life is as good either. Being a Canadian G2. Its a d803. I would recommend only using roms that support our d803 variant.

Suggest you do a FULL wipe (SD Card included) and flash kdz/tot.
None of the above is typical... > 1000 folk have downloaded my 80B and 80C KK versions (albeit d802) and nothing like this has been reported... for what it's worth!
OTA, in my experience, is a poor flash/update medium.
