[Q] Laggy in-call sound quality

Hi
Just wanted to know if others experience this too?
when making a phone call, my sound is lagging/blurry/scratching. Sometimes sound like (kind of) a robot.
I live in the city, and signal loss or network change is therefore not an issue.
Just thought it was wierd, but guess it will be fixed with update.
From post #12:
I hoped this was just a software error, but baseband upgrade and custom ROM didn't work. This is how it sounds
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4651820/Stemme 002.amr (starts around 15 sec)

Exact same thing here. Sounds like a loose connection in the speaker. Same city as you, but on 3 instead of TDC. Nothing to do with network, it's either soft-or hardware error in the LG. Let's just hope it's soft

no problem here the sound is perfekt. i have telia

Its a known problem.
I sent the phone back as DOA because of this and few other problems.

Sorry. Forgot to change provide r, I'm on 3 as well...
I hope it's software too. Waiting for better rom from paul before testing...
My camera has stopped working as well of today : s
Started of so well with the phone. But sucks with bugs on stock rom

Do you know if it's software or hardware related?

See this thread here. Give LG a buzz as they are accepting bug reports for a major update.

Thanks for heads up. Looks like it's software error fortunately, so Im more calm now
Found this at Paul's forum.
"Problem solved with the new baseband I think. Haven't noticed any tinny sound effect when in phone - either 2G or 3G connectivity.
It's a shockingly large improvement. Really bad that LG sells the phone with that software because mine was almost unusable in crowds because you had no idea what the other person was saying. Will be keen to jump to newer basebands now if they become available since it's proven it does make a huge difference. At least it's not a reason to NOT buy this phone anymore since it's easily fixable thanks to Paul now "
Problem was solved after update.

Hehe, funny to be quoted here, from a thread I started over at MoDaCo. According to my poll there a lot of 2X users experience bad sound.
Like I wrote at MoDaCo - I haven't noticed any weird sound after the baseband flash, so please upgrade and tell me if you also notice an improvement. I'll update the thread accordingly.
Btw, what baseband are you currently on?

Hehe. Im just having trouble remembering which i wrote in and which i read in :-D
But...
I Updated baseband now = no difference.., still scratchy sound...
Flashed pauls custom rom = still scratchy sound...
Seems in some cases it might ne hardware related :-(
Perhaps im unlucky.
The volume is okay/high enough. I just got scratching.... similar to white noise

If this is truly a hardware issue, don't delay- send it back. Furthermore, be mindful of the replacement you receive. Here is an example of an "ugly" situation that happened between two owners. Be firm & inspect your replacement thoroughly- if it's not in "like-new" condition or has residual data from a previous owner, argue for a brand new 2X.

I think we got quite good policies in Denmark, so I'll probably just get a new one at first But thanks for the advice. Hopefully the next will show up better.
A friend of mine experienced pixel "errors" on his AND his girlfriends, so the next one better be fully functional... I know that TDC provider in Denmark wanted to postpone the release too, because of malfunctioning devices. This was before they ever sold any, and they haven't got them in stock yet
I hoped this was just a software error, but baseband upgrade and custom ROM didn't work. This is how it sounds
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4651820/Stemme 002.amr (starts around 15 sec)
Now I just have to wait for "three" to send it in, and return a new one... if it happens three times, I'll get my mony back, and perhaps go for the SGS2 and hope it gets Tegra2... a shame, such a nice phone otherwise. Hope they make it work, but I hear a lot of complaints *fingers crossed*
EDIT: Damn, just heard of three occasions of the same problem here in Denmark... hope they can fix it

I'm not experiencing any scratchy sounds like you, not even before I upgraded baseband. So I guess it's not all O2X in Denmark that has the problem.
I bought mine through Callme.

The problem has been there all the time for me. Just saying the update didn't work for me, so I guess it is hardware related in my case. There has just been some discussions about wether it is hardware or software related.
The problem doesn't occure on all devices, but some are unlucky. 2 of my friends, which bought it on the release date, as my self, has experienced the same problem.
Also, on mobildebat.dk (danish forum) people complain about having the same problem. Such a shame.
I turned in my phone now, and has to wait for up to 10 days for LG to come up with a solution now Hope it goes faster. If i went down to the store last wednesday, I would hav gotten a new phone right away, due to 14 days return policy. Now I have to use my Nokia N82, damn it's slow

Hi,
I have had the same problems on my week old phone. Scrathy sound, Buzzing sound that both ends can hear and the other end sounding "tinny" or like a robot.
I also had random reboots.
Sent it in to repairs monday, hopefully it won't come back with "no faults found".
MY local Telia shop, where I bought the phone, hadn't heard about the problem from more than 1-2 people. Danish LG customerservice also hadn't heard about it. (This was a week ago.)
BTW: Is it normal for camera area to get very hot during calls? I had that too. Battery time was ok. 1-1½ day of normal use. Heavy wifi/talk/gps = less than a day.
I made a recording of the buzzing sound (starts at around 20secs in.):
dl.dropbox.com/u/4130839/Out_2011_03_27_14-06-29_%2B4550800950.3gp
This buzzing is sometimes so loud you cant hear what ppl are saying, and they have a hard time hearing you too.

New firmware update currently being tested. Expected release within two weeks.

News regarding the coming firmware update for the O2X.
LG Denmark confirms that the update is ready by next week or next week again - that is week 23 or 24.
- "The update is imminent, and are ready in one to two weeks, " says LG's Danish mobile manager Morten Aagaard to Mobilsiden.dk.
He explains that the update is currently being tested on all operators' networks in Denmark to ensure that it works one hundred percent - the same testing is currently also being performed in other European countries. When the update is a joint European release it must be released simultaneously in all countries.
"Therefore it is hard to say when exactly the update comes. It's fair enough that people get angry, but the update must of course also just be working, "says Morten Aagaard.

so let us hope that they can keep their promises this time

Well, it is still the newest statement from LG that we have at the moment.
But in general, I think every manufacturer should have a "I will believe it, when I see it" section. HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson to name a few. The list is long

haha, thats right, but iam lucky with my slick n.31 rom, very fast and stable, got no freezes or something.Iam anxios, how the devolopers will improve the new LG rom ^^

They probably are not sure they actually located the rebooting problem. Since it is (almost) impossible to reproduce the reboot they need such a long testing time, with no indication at all it will fix things lmao...

well. im not having any reboots...
what i want is gingerbread

I think we can believe them, that they try... it can't be easy to identify, and cure such a random thing... we should let them test it... no one would be satisfied if the just released a patch which won't help be patient people, LG knows he has to care, unless people won't buy their future stuff... they'll fix our problems

They will try it..and when they will see the first reboot or second then its time...!Update is ready reboots is working fine!let the update be released in the whole world... LOL
lets hope not to face something like that again for some fellas here with reboots problems...!

Here's a thought for LG, network operator's testing will only go so far to "break" the firmware.
IMHO, send the test firmware to the top 20 most chronic "battery pullers" on this forum. If they can all run it for a 2 weeks with no problems, it would certainly be a big improvement in stability.

Good news. If without any solution, probably, we need to change to use another mobile.

Return to manufacturer

Hey all, I've been experiencing the dreaded LG freezes and reboots.
Coming from CM, I used NVFlash to go back to stock, stock recovery, stock rom, etc.
I've got it all packed up to send to LG tomorrow for a warranty repair, I'll keep you posted and tell you how it goes, because I know a lot of people are experiencing the same issue as me.
I've been told the process usually takes 7-10 days

The new update for the fix of BSOD is due out in the next week or two, might aswell keep it till then, try the update and if still no good send it back.

Good luck dude. Got mine through carphonewarehouse who told me it would have to be repaired 2 times before they would exchange the handset. My guess is they will either update yours with the upcoming update or just put it all to stock.
Hope it works for ya. I'm waiting for the update, then if all is not well i shall have to go through the motions for something like the htc sensation.
My phone has had no lock ups for ages. Today installed fancy and beautiful widget apps, on charging got BSOD and phone restarted 3 times in-call. Deleted those and launcher pro and adw launcher and now all is well with the world. Why i have no idea!!

well the last update that fixed the crashes/freezes and reboots didn't work. I'm not convinced that LG could write a piece of software to fix a hardware problem as my later model hasn't rebooted/frozen once. And that has the same software on it my earlier model had that rebooted a few times a day.

Well at least they were generous enough to send me a pre-paid Royal Mail Next Day Special Delivery package.

It's been just over a week now, and they told me I'd receive it yesterday... I've been calling LG Support nearly every day.

Been 10 days now, and I've just been able to find out that it's "Awaiting parts"... For now it just seems like I'm being dicked around. Less than pleased -.-

Delayed messages

I'm using an Incredible S. I dont receive messages sometime. It's getting delayed. Sometimes calls are droped. Any idea why ?
Thanks

awesomexda, where did you purchase your inc s from? what country are you currently in?
What country has the phone originated from?
This is what happened this morning.
"I just had HTC contact in regards to my **** feedback to them lol.
The lady went on to say that someone else had contacted her about the exact same issues and she told me that MobiCity should not be selling overseas phones to us because of frequency problems and so on. She said she is going to contact them directly aswell as aussie warranty to either send me an australian built one or give me a refund because of the rare situation we are in.
So it seems like it is something with the way the phones built.
I'll keep you guys updated. "
That's on android forums.

Thanks neo-X for the information !
I'm in sri lanka. It's HTC asia one. I bought it here. I think this is a major issue. most of the people who bought the phone have been experiencing issues like this. I'm disappointed with HTC becuase they said INC S is a flagship device and has no errors. But I still luv me device even though it has got problems.
Thanks people

No idea mate. That's all i got from them.

Here is my experience- I contacted HTC support in Singapore this week and was excited to read the email response:
"I would suggest you to go to the local service center to install the lately released patch on your Incredible S on the spot."
I rushed to the service centre, only to find out that HTC's definition of a "lately released patch" was to roll back to 2.2
At least the delayed SMS issue is now resolved!

I've tried MIUI, I like it, but it didn't really fix the problem. It seemed to make it slightly better, but I was still getting messages 10 mins late or so. I've just flashed CM7 Nightlies, but it doesn't show the time stamp of when the message was sent, only of when it was received so I can't really judge if it fixes the problem or not.

Same here, im on cm7 but can't judge it.
Here is what HTC said.
"Dear _,
Thank you for your reply.
After checking, we regret to inform you that we have been aware that the message delay is a known issue after Incredible S upgrades from Android 2.2 to 2.3 But currently our engineer is trying to finding out a workable solution for it. If there is any update or patch for the issue, we would put the information on our official webstie. And from our side, if there is any update, we will also inform you. We do apologize for any inconvenience which was brought by the phone issue.
We have to say that currently for the SMS delay issue, the only method is trying to select "GSM only" mode.
But for the **phone ringing issue**, we would suggest that you may try to put your phone in the safe mode to see whether there is improvement for the phone ringing problem.
Before you put your phone in safe mode, make sure that you have your fast boot option unchecked: Menu > Settings > Power > Make sure "Fast Boot" is unchecked.
To put the Sensation into Safe Mode, you may follow the steps 1.With the Device turned off 2.Press the power button briefly 3.keep holding the Volume down button once you see the splash screen (HTC quietly brilliant) 4. Once it loads you will see on the “Safe Mode” on the bottom left of the screen.
****, we are looking forward to your kind action and appreciate the time taken to write to us. Please feel free to contact us should you require further assistance.
Best Regards
June"

Apparently Optus kicked up a stink with HTC and made them fix this issue. There is a new Optus ROM but can't find it anywhere on here.

Just Got 5.1.1 on my G W R

The watch prompted me - whole thing took less 5 minutes. Can't find any proof (or even suggestion) that wifi is available. The first notification was "Swipe to see what's new" ... and there was only 1 page of new to swipe through.

Curious: do you have cloud sync turned on in the Wear app on your phone?

Cloud Sync Was Off
I thought I said yes when it prompted me ... last month... but it was off. Just turned if on.
No wifi in settings.
And the "up" options page (swipe down from watchface) has the flat tire. What? Did I want a 360?
Rebooted - still no wifi in settings

And that's that. We don't have Wifi enabled by LG. Next is to see if it can be enabled in another way (ROM, kernel, etc.).

I feel deceived by lg.
Future proof device my a*s
Announced as a Wi-Fi capable device and then the update doesn't bring the feature. That's a no more lg to me. I will write to complain. This was the most expensive smartwatch and the only one that ever mentioned WiFi on the release.

No update yet on my side. San Antonio, TX.
So no wifi? No biggie. I have survived without it before, so nothing has changed. Does it bug me that it's on the Urbane and not the GWR? At first, yes, because it was told to us. But thinking about it. I am "meh" about the wifi thing in general. I don't think wifi would have changed my way of doing things on the watch. I am still wearing it. I am not going tot sell it. My GWR still functions, I love my watchfaces. The battery life lasts as long as I do during the day. So I say it's still a win. We are still getting updates. Now it would be another issue if we weren't getting the update lol.

The thing is I couldn't have cared about the wifi at all either, but when I think about it's just going to open a window to not update the device further in the future, as it "doesn't have a feature set required for an update" or whatever bull**** they can come up with.

Does it say "Wifi Support" or "Wifi Capable" ANYWHERE on the box of your watch? No? Then you have no right to complain. Seriously, people, you knew what you were buying. Stop giving LG crap about it. While I agree that it's a bad move on their part to say the hardware doesn't support it, they are in NO way obligated to give us a feature they didn't advertise.

According to LG Portugal, the device presented at IFA 2014 was a prototype and not GWR... what to me is a BIG LIE! That kind of lie that its made to silence people!

Im angry ...I am angry cuz I was cheated in a way that no one should be ! I paid so much money for this watch only because they SAID there is WIFI and I NEED THE WIFI ... I cannot take my phone to places with me ..only way to check my mails, messages etc was to have a device with WIFI that can sync with my phone during the time I cannot have my phone with me ...this was SAID by LG and they cheated me ...I dont like that ...
if my watch realy dont have WIFI after the update I will return this product and will never ever ever buy LG again... cheap cheating !

I cannot take my phone to places with me ..only way to check my mails, messages etc was to have a device with WIFI that can sync with my phone during the time I cannot have my phone with me ...this was SAID by LG and they cheated me ...I dont like that ...
if my watch realy dont have WIFI after the update I will return this product and will never ever ever buy LG again... cheap cheating !

Hey, breathe a little. LG confirmed to Android Police Wi-Fi may or may not come to the LG G Watch R after all.

LG has confirmed to us that the G Watch R may or may not get Wi-Fi in a future update. At this time, LG is unable to commit to a yes or no answer. According to LG, additional certification and other work is needed before Wi-Fi can be activated on the G Watch R, and they're unsure if it's going to be possible to get past these roadblocks.

Besides, if you wait just a few days, there will most likely be ways to cross-flash a kernel (and possibly firmware blobs) to enable Wi-Fi on the GWR, since they're basically the same watch. So wait and see, I'm not too worried myself.

So is this thread about the 5.1.1 update for the GWR, or yet another ***** session about the watch not having Wi-Fi? There are already multiple threads covering that topic.
