I've been experiencing this issue for a while, but it seems to have gotten worse lately. I'm not sure if it's due to the phones or Sprint, but I've experienced it on my Evo 4G LTE, One M7 and One M8, mostly on the Evo and the M8. I've tried researching the issue over the past few years, but most of the similar responses seem to deal with Samsung, particularly the Note 3.
Every so often, during both incoming and outgoing calls (maybe every 30-40 calls, on average, although the time in between can vary widely), my voice will sound really modulated to whomever I am speaking with. It has been described as sounding like I am talking on helium, Alvin and the Chipmunks or the teacher's voice from Charlie Brown. Most of the time it sounds muffled and higher pitched, and almost entirely unintelligible. I have no idea that this is happening until the other person tells me. When I hang up and dial back, it is always back to normal.
I have never encountered the issue while making calls over Wi-Fi, but I have been on the road a lot more lately and it has become much more of a nuisance, particularly with calls from work or clients. I have experienced it on several different phones of each model (I went through half a dozen Evos/M7s am already on my 5th M8 thanks to a 4-month repair nightmare on HTC's end), so I don't think it's been a fluke. And this has happened with dozens of ROMS, firmwares, radios, etc.
Anyone else experience the same and/or have any advice?

I have had a lot of problems using my speaker phone on the tytnii. To summarize, most of the time when i use the speaker phone, the person i am calling cannot hear me though i can hear them. This does not happen all the time; but more often than not (more than 50%).
Now here's where it gets strange. A person in another forum said to try initiating a call without being on speaker and begin speaker after both of you have talked. I tried this and it seems so far that my speaker is working better using this approach though i dont no why.
I am far from saying that this resolves my problem; but do find it interesting. I just started doing this so cant say for sure if it always will cause the speaker to work; but so far it seems to be working though i still have gotten complaints that i sound like im in a tunnel or something; but atleast they can hear me.
I guess the real test will come when i am in my diesel truck as there is a lot of background noise. At any rate, just some information i'd like to share as i would like to get some feed back from other users who might also like to try this to see if the results are reproducible. Hopefully, next update will resolve the speaker phone issue as this is a work around at best; but who knows.

I too share the same problem. Although i have an Tilt. Same diff i suppose. I can agree with your method, and same complaints when it does work. I too have not found an exact answer to this problem.
Its seems to be random, but occasionally people will call, they tell me rings and then goes to voice mail, but it never rings on my end. There also is no record of the call in the call log. I first noticed the last week when my phone never rang, but then I saw I had a vm. Its happened a few more times since then. Very bizarre.
Anyone else experience this or know what would cause this?

I do. So far I've been using my new phone for about a week, and in average it is one lost call per day. The problem here is that (1) I don't get that many calls, so not much statistics (2) the only person that told me that so far is my wife, therefore I initially thought that it might have something to do with reinitialization of my family plan on ATT side.
Anyhow, this is really annoying, and I'm ready to call ATT about the issue.
this is my first shot at running CM on any phone and it's been great so far. There were a couple hurdles I had to navigate due to my phone being a slightly different model that the majority of them (5830D via Koodo), but all in all it's working great.
The one stand out problem that's driving me nuts: If I put a call on speakerphone, they can hear themselves talk and report being able to hear all sorts of background noise with great ease. I tried searching here for people sharing similar problems but nothing came up. Google left me hanging too.
Is there anything I can do to remedy this problem or is it a bug with CM?
I am a new G2 owner (and frankly a new and inexperienced Android user), and have been noticing some small, but annoying, issues with any KitKat 4.4.2 ROM that I flash to my Verizon G2. I'm wondering if anyone knows of why they exist, possible workarounds, or any general solutions/explanations. So far, I have tried a CM11 nightly from last weekend, and an AOKP nightly from yesterday.
Most of the issues exist during a phone call, and still occur even when I have full bars of LTE service.
For one, speakerphone volume is pitiful. With the volume maxed, I can still barely hear people speak. Non-speakerphone volume is fine.
Secondly, the facial sensor does not seem to function at all. When I end a call, or pull the phone away from my face mid-call, the screen stays black and I have to double-tap the screen to turn it back on.
Thirdly, I get this weird "tapping" noise through the earpiece (not the speaker) of the phone when I'm on a call. It is definitely a sound that is on the phone, although I havent been able to find the file for it...it's almost like the sound the OTA makes when you tap-on or tap-off, or like a bubble popping (anyone know the Facebook Messenger notification sound? Very similar). I havent been able to pinpoint what causes the sound to play...no combination of moving the phone around or pulling it away from/putting it back towards my face prompts it or makes it stop...it just happens. It is not constant, but over the course of a 30 minute phone call, I will hear it at least a dozen times. It usually plays two successive sounds. People I'm talking to do not hear it...only me.
Are these just issues we have to live with? At first I thought it was CM11, but after getting the same exact issues with AOKP...I'm wondering what the deal is?
All are known and being worked on. They are minor bugs that most users can deal with or find work arounds

Hi Folks:
I love my Moto X 2014. However, when my wife calls me from her Moto X 2014 I can hardly hear what she says sometimes. Here voice gets lowered/amplified dynamically depending on how she holds the phone. It seems that noise cancellation is somehow considering her voice background noise and clips it out. She has the same issue when using my phone (on the same carrier), so it's not the network/the specific handset. Has anyone else experienced this? Are there known solutions to the issue? Morotorla blames third-party apps and/or the network, but we have experienced this on both phones out of the box on KitKat and Lollipop.
All the best,
Jeroen Claes
Hi
I had/ have this issue. My phone was sometimes clipping my voice and other times making it really quiet and echoey. The latter issue was traced down to the case I was using but I still occasionally get the issue where it clips my voice. This seems to happen when I'm in a quiet room, not sure if the way I'm holding the phone is causing the issue, as I thought maybe my palm was blocking the back lower mic. I was going to return the phone to be looked at and contacted Motorola who seemed quite happy to do this. But ATM I'm trying to see if the issue sorts itself now I've ditched the case.
