Hey folks,
my Moto G 2nd Gen. just arrived, and I was quite happy with it.
But then I switched Wi-Fi off for the first time, and am hearing static noise from the speaker on EDGE and 3G Celluar Data nonstop.
Anyone else having this problem?
Regards,
slind

Hey all,
So the issue is gone but still curious. I had no signal one day after class. All I saw was, no signal, even though my carrier logo was displayed. Tried loading internet but nothing.
Shortly after RSSI was displayed on the signal strength tile. I still couldn't place Phone calls or use the internet.
I'm suspect of my carrier AIO - AT&T having several mini outages and not telling customers based on previous situations so I'm investigating. Thanks for the help!!
Image is attached..
Sent from my XT1053 using xda app-developers app
RSSI = received signal strength indicator.
Displaying the letters is a little strange though, sounds like a software glitch of some sort.
I have had exactly the same thing happen on my android mobile on kitkat in the last few days. I have noticed it on at least 3 occassions and it always seems to happen late at night when I have stopped using the mobile. It is very odd! I used Google to find the answer and it lead me here. Would love to know what it is and why it's happening.
BTW my phone is a moto g
my opinion; RSSI is displayed because you dropped your carrier. being a GSM carrier, it's possible you tried connecting to someone else's faint signal but never authenticated. this is all speculation, but hypothetically possible.
in other words, as long as you re-authenticate to your carrier, it's a non-issue.
Very strange, but I have a signal when it is happening to my phone and it is happening a lot lately, especially in the evening and then quite often as soon as I spot it it disappears. Starting to make me think something odd is going on.
well.. your image also shows "emergency calls only" which supports the theory that you've dropped carrier signal altogether. I believe you're right that believing that it has to do with the ATT/AIO service outtage.
but why RSSI instead of any other message... is another question altogether...

I do think it is a software glitch but it's very inconsistent. I feel strongly it's a Moto X or maybe Motorola firmware thing. With AIO I kept losing signal, so I left them and with T-mo now I and I experience the low signal rarely, and low signal here and there.
EDIT: I also still have some MMS issues w/ T-mo & AIO. not working, also inconsistent which I think is another firmware bug. Any of you guys have some clever ideas on how to troubleshoot this? Where would you start?
I'm rooted with R/W access and willing to dig thru system's files! apk's, whatever! Because this def is a problem and I would like to solve it.

I would also mess around with manual network selection while I had AIO so that could explain the weird signal stuff, here's the app I used in addition.

Strangely enough I've got this showing up in Airplane Mode on my Moto G as well (Verizon Prepaid activated but never paid for service). Also one night at random I noticed I had 3G showing up instead of just bars and used 250mb of data for free which was weird.
Try to specify carrier
Hey,
Please try to specify which carrier you prefer so your Moto X will not try to connect to alternative carrier with stronger signal.
I've searched here in XDA and the web, can't find anything regarding this:
My friend has the XT1053 GSM moto maker using AT&T. He hasn't unlocked or rooted, running stock 4.4.2
Seems when he has wifi on, even though he's not connected to anything, his calls get very garbled, mostly he experiences it when he's driving, as that's when he makes calls on it mostly, and because of that it's difficult for him to check his signal strength in the status bar at that moment. I hadn't heard of wifi simply being enabled causing an issue like that, but seems greatly improved when he has it off. I told him he shouldn't have to toggle off wifi to make a call, maybe he should get it replaced under warranty (or at least call Moto tech support to see if there's some trouble shooting, though I wonder if they'll be of help)
Wondering if anyone has heard of this happening on that model (or any phone, for that matter) I have the XT1058 unlocked, rooted, 4.4.2, Xposed, etc., with no issues. He hasn't tried it with data on, as his data plan is limited, so he just turns on data to check email, then turns it off.
Thanks

That's very interesting....I have garbled voice when my moto x is connected to my car on bluetooth and I almost always have wifi on. I am going to try that with wifi off to see if maybe you are on to something here.

Will be interested to know
wondering if you tried toggling off wifi to see if call quality improved?
I told my friend we should definitely call tech support, maybe there is a "fix" of some kind, it definitely is much worse with wifi on, call is very garbled, as soon as he switches it off, it's fine.
I had the original Moto X and just got the new Moto X 2014 on Tuesday. When i'm in the middle of a phone call i get a message saying data is unavailable. During the time of the call I'm on LTE and i never had this issue with the original Moto X. Why is it different with the new Moto X. does anyone know if there is a fix?

Data + Voice will not be available until Verizon releases Advanced Calling 1.0 apk. Will have to use VoLTE. See article here > http://phandroid.com/2014/09/20/verizon-moto-x-launch-without-simultaneous-voice-data/

ahh i see.. thanks for the info! much appreciated!
How will this technology work if one is driving (i.e. calling being routed through the VoIP LTE) and then geographically falls outside of an LTE zone?
I can see how this technology causes frustration. I work in Sales and am constantly holding calls via Bluetooth while driving.

My understanding is that your call will only be via VOLTE if you are doing voice+data. Under this circumstance, your voice call will be dropped when you are no longer within range of LTE.

Incorrect.
Straight out if verizons faq. If you enable volte (advanced calling 1.0) and place any call from a 4g area it will *always* drop if the phone moves to a 3g area.
A call placed in a 3g area will continue on 3g if you move into a LTE area (not drop).
The only way to avoid drop calls is not enable volte. in which case your new moto x will never have voice and data simultaneously.

Sure thing. Verizon is not advertising that fact very well. Its frustrating because they don't have 100% LTE coverage. I will drop calls pulling into my driveway once volte is turned on...

They can stick volte, right up their a$$, its complete garbage, only works between 2 volte phones, drops calls. Yet the went ahead and gimped this device in some kind of thoughtless preparation for the half baked volte plan. Thanks Verizon for ruining data during calls. Idiots!

HD voice and instant video calls will only work between two volte devices. However all calls will be transmitted as data once you enable volte in your account and on your phone.
Another reason to never activate the steaming heap. Head to the country side, and data goes in and out swapping towers and landing in 1x at times. Yet in those areas regular voice services work fine. So it would be a huge downgrade for me and most people I know. Verizon is plain stupid for pulling the trigger on this. Thanks for the info, I know even better to steer clear now.
And they complained
during the switch from AMPS to CDMA, too.
So this is a very serious issue about the x2 Vzw phone?
Is this a deal breaker?

I've read that all new vzw phones will work like this. Curious to know if the note 4 has the two radios or will also rely on volte like the iPhone 6 and new Moto x do.
I got Moto G 2nd Generation. When I am setting 3g preffered network from settings, the voice quality of the calls is pathetic. It is fine while being set on 2g preffered network.
I am using Airtel sim and my data connection plan is 2g. Please help me with this problem.
**Note: I have not tested phone with earphones since I don't have one.

Would be worth testing with earphones if you can borrow some. I find that the call sound quality is very bad without them (possibly due to my case blocking the sound)
Hello everyone,
Recently, I experience the issue with some of the my calls. The model is SM-N950U1, and I'm using it with T mobile. When I received the call from any numbers, The quality is really bad. I can barely hear them saying anything. I have to drop the call and redial again and it is good as normal.
Are you at home or away from from home. Is Wi-Fi calling on or off I have the same phone have not had issues but rarely talk on phone much. Usually it's a network issue not a phone issue
Same setting here (N950U1 unlocked used on TMO network). I have no call issues, not on 3G, LTE+, nor via WiFi calling.

Any new case you just started using? Is it happen everywhere? Or just home or work? New apps you just started using?
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I meant same configuration (phone - operator) and NO issues...
All calling works perfect, no poor sound.
I already turned off the Wi-fi Calling, and I think the issue is still there. It happens more often when I'm talking with the Bluetooth headset
I wish extra volume would stick and not have to turn it on every call smh.
Can you barely hear the caller?
Do what the Samsung repair people do:
Use a soft bristle brush and gently wipe the ear piece with rubbing alcohol. It will remove dirt & grime from the mesh.
