Delay answering incoming phone calls?

Every time my wife calls she says she can't hear me for perhaps 2-3 seconds after I think the call has connected.. My previous phone did not do this, but the Nexus One does.
Anyone heard of this, and have any suggestions? I have Google Voice call on by default, but she's calling my cell number so I don't think it'd affect anything. As far as I can tell, the call is connected, but she can't hear me say anything for several seconds. I usually wind up going "Hello? Hello? Hello?" and she finally answers.

Glad to see I am not the only one this happens to..well not glad but i just hope this means its not just my phone.
I know when they call one of my numbers (either Google Voice or Cell Phone # not sure which) it says incoming call from <Name> press 1 to answer and press 2 to send to voicemail

@sandtiger
this is from google voice it is a filter setting you can change by going to to the setting on the google voice website.
But this is a different issue (im assuming) then the OP

Yeah, I think I muddied the waters mentioning Google Voice, but these are calls directly to me cell number..
I might try disabling Google Voice just for S&G just to see what happens.. Seems when I place calls, they're connected when I expect them to be, but the delay could be more critical when answering.
I haven't yet, but going to try calling myself from my work phone to see what kind of delay I'm hearing.

I am having this problem also...did you ever find a solution?

Using BT headset by any chance?
In that case, it's normal.

Nope, no headset. Just the phone.

I need to test some more, but I think this has gone away for me.. Delay answering, plus the other party was "dropping out" often, ie: if it got quiet on their end, their voice disappeared entirely, and sometimes faded in or out while doing so.
Only thing I've changed is I disabled Google Voice as being my default call method, but this thread is about answering calls so I doubt it matters, especially since the calls were directly to my cell number not my GV number.
I might turn GV back on the way I had it and test some more, but maybe it was something weird with AT&T?

Im noticing this problem too, both on 2.1 and 2.2.
It seems to be a problem specific to AT&T N1's.

I also experience this. I've adjusted to swiping the answer button, pausing, then saying "Hello." I typically pause about 0.75 or 1 full second, and rarely do I need to do it longer.
The opposite seems to be true of the vibrate-on-connect feature: about 1 second after the person picks up, then the phone vibrates in my hand. How is that useful?! =P

Anybody have problems receiving calls with 2.2?

Upgrade to 2.2 with radio, but I am having a weird problem. Phone shows I am registered on ATT, and can make calls, receive texts and send texts, however receiveng calls is sporadic. Most of the time the phone does not show an incoming call. I find if I go to the settings menu and re-register on ATT I can receive a call or two, but then it stops. As I said however I can always make calls and send/receive texts. It always shows good signal and edge connection. Any Idea where to start troubleshooting.
What I have done:
Disable google voice in case this was causing problems.
Nand restore back to Cyanogen and flash old radio - Everything works

YES!!! I was having this crazy problem with receiving call also! In fact that's what I was searching for when I found your post.
My receiving calls were very sporadic... and the incoming calls would NEVER ring! I would see the incoming call on my display... but I would get NO sound, even with the sound rockers turned all the way up!
I went back to Cyan's ROM cause it was totally unacceptable.

In call sound problem

I have in call sound problems.
When I reboot I can sometimes place one call without problems for as long as I want.
Other calls after that I have no sound, can't hear the call tone and other parties can't hear me.
Also incoming calls, i hear the phone ring but when i answer the other party can't hear me and i can't hear the other party.
The settings for sounds in the accessibility menu and noise reduction etc were off and stayed off. (other forum tips)
I also tried numerous factory resets with no avail
Can someone give me a hint how to fix it?
I have stock 4.2.2 International version of the S4 Active.
Baseband I9295XXUBMK2
Build JDQ39.I9295XXUBMK2
Kernel 3.4.0-2015525

Headset
I tried a different option. I can call with my bluetooth headset.
When i switch to speaker the in call sound drops. giong back to headset will not activate in call sound.

Same Here
The same happens to me. Only the bluetooth option works every time. I have tried several firmware and kernel versions and nothing has changed.
There is a workaround that I could find but it is totally impractical: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2371034
In forums for models / ROMs with a lot more users than this one (Nexus / CM) people with 4.2.2-based firmware versions there are many posts describing what could seems to be the exact same problem, which they have been able to fix via baseband updates or custom patches, but that does not really seems to be an option for the S4 Active...

I to have the same problem but im on a I537! This is the second replacement device from ATT! Have noticed i can call out fine when someone calls no audio nor can they hear me,call back and it works fine.Also have noticed when a call is incoming or outgoing LTE will switch to 4G.

Same problem with my SGS4A. I was on i9295XXUBMK2, tried to update using the phone update option, which rendered my phone unusable. Flashed new stock ROM i9295XXUBMK3, now I can use the phone, although sound problem persists.
Making a call: reboot, call
Receiving a call: answer, hang-up, reboot, call back
Anyone with 4.3 that has this problem on SGS3, SGS4 or SGS4A?
Edit 21.8.2014
I had the speaker changed last week and so far no problems. I am slowly getting confident that I can rely on S4A as a phone also, not just tiny surf tablet.

I have same phone, never got this pb. However I got some SD card issues after updating to KitKat...

Partial solution... for me at least
Hi guys ,
having same issue, disabling 4G option solves my problem. But it-s impractic cause I want to use the 4g... in a huawei phone I solved same issue by disabling an option of "mobile data always on"
Don't know how it's related...

Same issue for me. I made lots of research with no results. Nobody knows...

same problem here with no solution yet

same problem with in call and out call .... searched a lot about solution and no solution yet

I had a similar issue with bluetooth calls. First call would be fine, but after that I couldn't hear the other person on the line and they couldn't hear me. It turned out to be some kind of incompatibility with the Google "OK Google" detection with Galaxy S4-based phones. If I disabled it from detecting "From any screen", this seemed to correct the problem. However the setting might return on application updates. I would recommend trying that and see if it makes a difference. If it's not that, then I don't really know how to help you. I moved on from that phone over a year ago and have been happier ever since.

[Q] outgoing calls problem

My HTC one have a problem with outgoing calls, sometimes when I call someone I can not hear call tone and the interlocutor hears nothing too.
please, find me a solution.
thank you.

I've noticed mine has started doing this in the last week or so as well. Weird.

Same think for me since I went to 4.4.3. When this happens no outgoing calls are getting through, but also incoming call are lost. The only get around solution is to restart the phone.
My Rom is full stock, the phone is not rooted. All other functions are runing fine.
Sent from my GT-P7310 using XDA Free mobile app

Im stock developers edition 4.4.3. Haven't really done anything with my phone since i installed the DE rom. everything else seems to work but calls act weird. I too have to restart to get it working right again.

Incoming Calls aren't going through

This is pretty weird. So, I normally use Google Voice for all of my texts and calls which has worked great up until the past few days. There are no problems with texting, but I've got some issues with calls.
My girlfriend has been pretty annoyed lately because she says I'm not answering my phone, but I haven't gotten any calls, or missed calls. My voicemails still show up and get transcribed however. When I use another phone to call my google voice number It just rings and rings, and then goes to voicemail.
I've done the standard checking of number forwarding etc, and I've made sure that in hangouts its set to ring hangouts when my google voice number is dialed.
So, I figured I would try to call my regular Verizon phone number, and this is what happens:
No ring
"Your call cannot be completed as dialed please hang up and try your call again... etc." "Announcement five switch two dash four five" followed by three beeps and the call ends.
This leads me to believe that it might not be a google voice issue, but could be either a verizon issue or a droid turbo issue.
What do you guys think?

You've brought up two issues. Something is wrong with your underlying Verizon number, something is wrong with Google Voice. Uncheck all options in Google Voice, then re-check mark the ones you want. Just to make sure.
1) if your Verizon number has been cancelled or is inactive for some reason, then Google Voice will not forward to that phone number. Do you have mobile data when you are out and about on the Verizon network?
2) However, if you have Google Hangouts checked as one of the forwarding locations, then when you are on Wi-Fi at least your phone should still ring or indicate a Google Voice call is incoming, if Hangouts was active? (At home, I hear notifications on my PC at home a few seconds before my cell phone starts ringing, because my Google Talk app on the PC starts beeping.)
3) Try a test. Try forwarding your Google number to some OTHER phone . A landline, a friend's phone. Then, call your Google voice number and see what happens.

I did step 1, no dice.
I have mobile data, it works great. I can also place calls via google voice and my regular cellular network.
I will try forwarding to my girlfriends phone when I get home.
My computer is also hooked up, and rings if it is signed in. I think this is an issue with Verizon. I'm going to call them today.
Edit: Forwarded google voice to my girlfriends phone and it worked fine. Definitely a Verizon problem. I'm on support with them right now.

My old man has this problem now and then too.

I've had issues as well with not getting calls n then I'll receive a notification for VM...not sure what's up, happens from time to time...if someone could shed some light it'd be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Not sure about the OP who uses hangouts, but the missed incoming calls using the regular dialer is a known software issue. The solution is to turn on Advanced Calling.

Ya I've had it turned off pretty much since it was released cause it made calls have a lot of static and poor quality, because nobody I know has HD calling...

Yeah, it seems to be the only fix until lollipop (hopefully) solves the issue.
I work for Verizon and it's one of the top known issues for this phone.

Ya hopefully a software update resolves this...I'm planning on switching to the N6 though, was kinda what I wanted, but it wasn't available at the time. And after testing it out it's perfect for me since I enjoy using custom Roms n being on a completely vanilla device. I was surprised how well I could still do everything one-handed. I experience a lot of texting issues with the turbo too...I don't receive some texts and ppl don't receive some texts I send...and often they send out of order...
