LG Phone App no sound bug - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been having this problem where I call someone or they call me and they can't hear me. The microphone seems to be working fine for Google Now and other stuff. But it's the Phone app that seems to be the problem. After a couple days of turning the volume to silent/normal/silent/normal, the Phone app's microphone becomes muted. People can't hear me when they call or I call.
This seems to be a bug in the LG phone app. Anyone ever have this problem?

In call speaker went out

Not sure if anybody has experienced this yet or not but today randomly I can't hear anything during a call unless I turn on the speaker phone function. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. So I'm having a replacement sent out.

No sound from speaker LG E900

Hi,
I have LG E900 and everything work fine except the sound (speaker and microphone).
When I receive a call from someone I can not hear the GSM ringing. After that I can not hear the voice from speaker and other side can not hear my voice.
I can use the phone only with hands-free. Then I can take conversation normally.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Regards.
i'm having the same issue. i found a temporary solution here, but this works only until the next toast notification or the next reboot.
i'm still looking for a permanent solution.

Hangouts Speaker echos

I didn't notice this until I was using it to make calls and using the speaker. When I make a call using hangouts, speaker phone causes an echo not for me but for the people I call. I confirmed this and its something to do with OnePlus Two, even this issue persists on OnePlus One, even til this day.
This seems to affects 3rd party apps like Skype, Hangouts, ect.. If calls are made with the phone (SIM) speaker phone echos don't happen at least not through extensive testing.
Can anyone else confirm this issue? The echo goes away with bluetooth or headset mic connected. Just sucks that this exists.
I have the same problem
Me too. The feedback in hangouts makes it unusable for video calls.

Microphone issue on Hangout calls

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?

Microphone Issues on Asus Zenfone 2 Laser Ze550kl

Hello All
I bought myself an Asus Zenfone 2 Laser Ze550KL a couple of weeks back.
An overall good phone. But I am facing an irritating issue.
The phone's microphone does not work from some point onwards. Once this happens, when attending(or making) a call, the other person wont be able to hear me.
I am not sure whether its a hardware issue or a software issue. Because once I restart the phone everything is perfect once again. After maybe a couple of calls, the problem resurfaces.
I read in multiple forums of this issue (even in Zentalk) , but nobody has a clean solution. Some of the solutions were -to disable Ok Google Detection, to enable call recording, to switch to loudspeaker, to reboot the phone and so on.
Enabling loud speaker works for me. When I realize the other person cannot hear me, I switch to loud speaker and then he is able to hear me.
Did anybody come across this issue? Is it a software issue? Any help/ideas/suggestions would be nice.
I am hoping its a software bug which will be hopefully fixed in the next system update or so.
Thanks
Hmm that's an odd one I can tell you that I have call recording enabled on a ze551kl and haven't had this issue, but I'm not sure if its specific to the 550 or not. I haven't actually recorded any of my calls, it just pops up and asks me if I want to every time and I tap cancel.

Its not about recording calls.. Its about the recipient not hearing me. The microphone is what is bothering me. I doubt the issue is with the noise cancellation of microphones. Perhaps cancelling more than noise.
When I reboot the phone, everything starts working normally. After a few calls the problem returns, the recipient not hearing me!.
The temporary fix for me is switching to loud speaker. I dont know why, but the mic starts working when in loud speaker. The moment i switch it back to handson, the recipient is again not able to hear me.
Read a few forums in zentalk reporting the same issue
www(dot)asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=14486
I am seriously hoping it is a software bug which would be fixed in the next update or so.
I tried the hardware test which behaves differently when the problem occurs and when it is problem free.
The hardware test is perfect if i test the mic just after reboot and when everything is normal.
But once i find out that the recipient is unable to hear me (after maybe a couple of calls/days after the reboot) , i did the hardware test again and certainly was different. A buzz at all times with my voice being completely muffled. Something to do with the noise cancellation mic i believe.
I have tried disabling OK Google Detection.
I have tried enabling call recording.
I have tried reseting factory settings , clear wipe partitions etc.
I have tried enabling dialer pad tones (Dont know why this was marked as a solution in some forums)
But all of the above was not a solution for me. Switching to loudspeaker works. And rebooting the phone (which is irritating during important calls) also works.
Any help would be nice.

To OP,
This is for most of the guys. It's a software issue, dont worry, Just update to latest update. Which happened to me the same, and solved when i updated some random OTA update fix by asus. So the current version on my phone now is LRX22G.WW_user_1.15.40.639_20151029044030520_201505210103

Hi I too have this same issue. I believe it is a faulty model from Asus! I had serviced my mobile last month and the Subboard assembly has been completely changed by those people but still I face the same issue. . Hope I will throw away this bulsh**t soon. Asus not willing for replacement too I argued so many times which is just waste of time. Totally a waste of money and time.
Microphone issue
I am also having same problem once restarted phone is all fine...should i replace phone ??
Bought just 2 days back
Solution
Since you apply this solution the error has not returned to flicks: I cannot post the youtube link, but search the title: Solved: Asus Zenphone 2e mic problem by Jack Scorpion.
I have the same device with the same problem! It was neglible before, and it happened very rarely. But recently it had become worse and that thing happened to all the calls. Switching to loudspeaker works (loudspeaker mode disables the bottom mic and switches to top mic). I reset the device to factory settings (that thing wiped the internal memory too!) and since then, i haven't updated the 'ASUS Calling Screen' from the play store and everything works fine atleast till now.
hai friend try (ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser=ZE550KL (Z00L) software Image: 1.17.40.1234 for WW SKU only) this firmware from asus site or try system update form your mobile. thats old version runing firmware running on your mobile so thats a software problem. this a network issue in that old version asus team doing always best i am also have same problem in past month but my current update installed after working fine. so don worry friends

Try disabling Audio Wizard app
I am also facing same problem. Suddenly the mic of my asus fails to work.
Solution
There is solution. Please post it on another forums after you will check it.
Just hold your phone in your hand in position, which will make sound to reflect directly into your voice microphone. This way you will make a difference in signal between voice and noise cancellation microphone. That's how voice cancellation technology works. I have got this result after one week of search for any effective solution. And did not find any useful info. So I have find a solution after some experiments.
Please post it to another forums if it will solve your problem.
