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.

Hi,
Today something very weird happened.
Around 10:17 my phone called a friend of mine by itself.
I was using the phone, browsing XDA using the XDA Premium App, and nothing else, maybe some background processes was running, but i have only installed programs i know and trust from Android Marketplace.
I'm running MCR Fr12 with the OC / UC kernel.
The call isn't showed in the Call-list, or anywhere else regarding the calls.
The only reason i got to know this, was that the person who got called was sitting in class with me, and told me afterwards.
What may have been the cause to this, and am i the only one experiencing this kind of weird behavior?
have you taken into consideration that your friend might have pulled a small trick on you ? if its not in the call logs, im pretty sure it didnt happen, or you got a serious problem.
I am really sure he didn't.
Checked it myself, but on the other hand, he might.
Don't know actually.
Anybody else experiencing the same issue?
What did the phone say to him?
Hopefully it was something nice or you have to give your phone a good spanking..

lol D
way too short for you
Ever since the gingerbread upgrade, I've noticed that when answering calls, I have to wait 2-3 seconds before saying "hello".
Anyone else notice this?
lol I thought I was the only one that notices this
I have also noticed this issue, sometimes I have to repeat the greetings even though I already hear the other side.
This is a know gb nexus problem try the search button next time

I have to do this also. I say hello and they don't hear me. I didn't know it was a known issue.
please star the issue on the tracker

same thing for me and 2 other nexus users I know
just answer, pause half a second and say Hello or Yellow or S'up or whatever you kids say these days
There's an app on XDA CM7 thread called Dewonkificator--solved my problem
It is run on rooted phones--not sure if you guys are rooted--or can run the app if not

I've had this issue on my nexus since I got it. On the shipping ROM as well as CM6, Enoms Official and CM7. It seemed that until the call timer appeared on screen during a call no one could hear me. I also never had the call wonk on CM7 when I was still using my nexus.

Exactly, I thought this has always been present too. I've always just waited till the timer starts before speaking.

Glad I wasn't the only one. My uncle has a nexus also but I've never asked him if he experiences the same thing.
To make matters more exciting, this is NOT an issue & has been declined by Google! Check issue on Google Code.
If you're having the call delay problem (note this is not the wonk, which appears in CyanogenMod 7, that's a different problem), please star the issue here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16230
As KoolPal said, Google recently declined this known Gingerbread bug, saying it was "device specific" (to the Nexus One).
However this problem is also being reportedly widely on the HTC Desire, as well as Samsung Galaxy devices. I have posted a new issue above and not attributed it to a specific device.
Please comment and star this issue. And please specificy especially if your device is not the Nexus One, so that Google gets this message that this is a widespread Gingerbread bug, which has nothing to do with the device.
Thanks.
Maybe that's why the SGS GB update was pulled by Google.

I can't get behind that. My nexus always had that little quirk and not only on gingerbread. My inspire on cm7 has never had this issue.

I don't know how to explain that. The problem has been very widely reported with Gingerbread on the Nexus One and you're the first that I've seen who says they had it before Gingerbread. I certainly didn't.
The problem has also been widely reported on the Desire and reports are starting to come in on the Galaxy. But everyone says it started with Gingerbread.
Perhaps your problem is slightly different? Or a carrier/network problem?
The Google employee following up on the call delay issue, in the Google support forums, is asking people to fill out the following form, to gather information about how people are affected and on what devices.

I have the exact issue that you're describing, answer a call and the other party can't hear me for the first few seconds. I got in the habit of waiting for the call timer to appear before I started to speak and that worked for me. My nexus always did this, every single time and on every ROM that I ever ran.

Well, that is strange. Many many people are reporting this issue as something that appeared with Gingerbread. You are the only person I've seen say they had it before Gingerbread. I don't really know how to explain that.
Looks like the bug report I started on this, expanding the issue to include all affected devices (not just the Nexus One), has been reopened. See comment #89.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16230
And someone else pointed out that the googlenexus twitter feed says the upcoming 2.3.4 update has bug fixes for the Nexus One.
https://twitter.com/#!/googlenexus
Hooray. Perhaps there is hope after all. Although I'll believe it when I see it.
Ok So my phone has done this a couple of times. Basically what is happening is randomly my phone is making a standard ringing sound of 3 or 4 beeps (or so) a pause then the beeps again. This is completely different from the standard sounds i have set on my phone and when this ringing is happening i am not receiving a call nor am i receiving a text message. so far it just happens randomly and even when i put my phone into sleep mode it still rings requiring me to take the battery out to make it stop.
Has this happened to anyone before? what dose it mean exactly?

Happened to me until a factory reset. Came back though after reinstalling my apps. You can stop it by making a call. It is a little easier than removing the battery. Still annoying though. I think it could have started after an app was moved to the SD card, so I batch moved everything to the internal storage except for some games. Has not happened for a couple days, but I would not be surprised if it came back. I wish I knew what caused this.
Sprint ZIO or Cricket ZIO?

Happened with me, too, on the Cricket Zio. Still searching for a solution. Doesn't seem to be a Zio specific problem, though. I read somewhere that it was happening on the Motorola Droid as well.

The XDA app doesn't show it. Please don't insinuate that anyone here is stupid. I, for one, don't appreciate it, and neither does anyone else. WE are trying to help YOU, and we ask questions for a reason. A clear, simple answer is what you should give when asked a question IF you want our help.

Quite ringing sound
This happens on the Cricket zio as well. It normally happens when you are in a low signal area for any extended period of time. Normally rebooting or making a phone call will stop it. As to why it is happening I have no idea however I do recall this was a problem on one of the old kyocera slider phone I had in the past.
Is there any point in digging into this? It's beginning to happen to me a lot (as my coverage at home sucks despite living in downtown Charlotte).
Every problem has a solution but I'm wondering if the new OC'ed kernel will eliminate it.
One can only hope.

Can we stay on task here and stop with the petty squabbling. Nobody cares how anybody reads the forums but being a smart-a$$ about it will ultimately result in this sort of argument.
Fact is, that we're trying to address an issue here. And to that point, my phone is still making the ringing noise, even with the new OpenZIO ROM. How can that be?
My guess is that the ringing noise is tied up somewhere not on the typical hard-drive of the phone. Kinda like a beeping mechanism on a computer motherboard. And since somebody reported that it happened on an older Kyocera phone, that only furthers my theory in this.
Evidently, it seems to be triggered in poor reception.

This much I know is 100% correct. The first time it happened to me and my wife we were traveling to the beach and this happened while we were in "Dead Zones" and now it happens to me on a daily basis on my commute to and from work. I drive through a lot of "Dead Zones".

A lot of dead zones in the Charlotte area? Where are you commuting to and from?
I have also had this issue a couple of times while running rooted 2.2.
I too was in a poor signal zone. An interesting fact is that when I would adjust the volume while it was making the funny sound, it would say that it was adjusting call volume not ringer volume. It was a while ago since it happened last, but I'm also pretty sure the sound comes from the ear speaker and not the louder back speaker, which is why the sound is so soft.
I'm having the same issue!
I'm having a hard time isolating what application could be causing this. It probably doesn't help that I'm EXTREMELY new to this forum.
also having this issue
this happens to me also in a low signal area.. it happens at 5am and again at 9pm. i'm home way before 9pm so i don't know what the signifigance of that may be?
You have all been hax0rd!!! Mwuaaahahahaa!!!
Just kidding.
I have never had this issue before. You could try installing my ROM to see if that fixes the issue?f
**edit: just read upwards -- appears that someone has already tried installing the ROM.
This leads me to believe that it could be a hardware issue.
Perhaps you can take it in for an exchange?
ROM won't fix it. I was having the issue on stock 2.12 as well. It did not start till the update so has to be a bug in the OS.

Take your phone back to cricket for an exchange (provided you can reproduce the sound to a rep).
Be sure to flash a stock rom to ur phone or they wont touch you.
Hello guys. Im feeling very frustrated now, i bought 2 phones on ebay from different sellers and both of them have problems when i play music. The sound goes off and became very quiet for some reason. To get it back i need to hit the speaker's area and it becomes fine again but for some short time only. I think it is a common problem and many people did have this problem. I tried to flash different fimwares etc, no luck. Please anybody help.. Regards
