flash-a-holics question about call quality between roms - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I noticed if i ran fire kat and infamous call quality sounds better. if i ran dynamic kat it doesnt sound as good. I'm talking about in call, in my ear. then with both of the first two roms there is a little HD icon when in a call in the top left corner.
Anyone know why it is like this?

That's volte I think.

[Q] [B]péééééééééééééééép'[/B] - Very high pitched loud beep on speaker

my laptop-keyboard is broken, please forgive me for all the errors
Hi all,
I still have a problem with sound-quality during a call.
When I put a call on speaker Ihear a very high-pitched loud béééééééééép.
It sounds a bit like what you get when you put a microfone next to a speaker that is transmitting sound from that speaker.
Everybody heras it, on the other side of the call it seems it even overwhelms my voice, effectively rendering a call impossible.
If I do not put a call on speaker I can speak with the person on the other side. But on the other side of the call it sounds as if my Phone is wrapped in blankets. Some described it different: "it sounds like you have put bass way up to the max and disabled all high- and mid-tones."
It sounds rather like a hardware-problem, BUT.... (and this is where I no longer understand it),
it does NOT happen with stock-ROmS...
It happened with JellyBam and Paranoid Android, does not happen with stock, ROmAUR or Experiment.
my conclusion is that it either is caused by cm10 or by JB (4.1.2).
Does anyone have any suggestions to as what Icould do at this stage_? Iam at this moment running ROmAUR but I really miss JB....
Grtz Henro.
Hi,
Whenever I put my phone on speaker while making a call, I hear this very high-pitched tone: péééééééééééééééép.
This sound is so high/loud that even colleagues in the office next to mine hear it. (And complain about it)
On the other side of the line it is heard too, people complain that they find it hard to have a conversation with me when I put the phone on speaker.
I am running Paranoid Android 2.56 Utacka (JB) now. The first day I had the phone it happened too, but I do not recall whether that was before or after PA 2.56 Utacka was installed.
It is only when I put a call on speaker. Games, music, video, recorde audio, it all runs fine. But as soon as I put a call on speker....
péééééééééééééééép'
Any suggestions?
Grtz Henrov
You are probably in a place where the mic or speakers are giving off feedback from another mic or speaker wherever you are.

The first time I was at work, alone in my office, calling my girlfriend while she was at home. ..
There was no other device around to create a loop. My laptop was still in it's bag...
I will however try again in a few moments when I walk the dog, there will be no device with a mic or speaker to disturb
Cannot reproduce it anymore. Maybe it was something in my environment...

There you go next time you're in that same area look around and see what might cause the feedback.

Try to turn on noise suppression as well in dialer settings. Might help, maybe not.

How do you enable this in Jellybean?
Open up the dialer, chose settings, tick background noise suppression.
It is back. Consistently. I tried reinstalling, different roms, different volumes, different dialers, noise surpression...
Nada!
Last resort; try it on stock rom...

Sony Xperia T - Stock ROM - 4.1.2 Stock Leaked Launcher - Rooted soon.
So it seems cm10 related
I have been trying a lot of stuff and I m fairly sure now it happens on CM10 based ROMS.
Any one knows something about this? Suggestions?
Design faux par
I think it's down to the fact the speaker is right next to the mic on the phone. What [email protected] thought that one up. If you put your finger over the read speaker does it stop squeeling?
I'm not so sure that you could describe it as a faux pas. I often use the device on loudspeaker and actually never faced that problem, not on stock nor on CM. It seems to be either a) a different situation the device is used in (see below) or b) is device-specific which I somehow doubt.
I get the back coupling whining, but only if I'm on loudspeaker and the person I'm calling is in the same room, also on loudspeaker. Then my device picks up it's own echo on the other persons loudspeaker. But I believe this is not the case discussed in this thread as this would be the case with ANY communications device used in this setup, not only cellphones.
is there any solution for that?
with cm11 there is a whistle sound wwhen turn on loadspeaker . with the stock rom there is no whistle sound, but the caller hear it self twice .
what is going on with that phone?

[Q] Small Issues with Verizon G2 regardless of ROM

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

[Q] Top speaker louder than bottom

Listening to music and noticed the top speaker is significantly louder than the bottom. Has anyone else experienced this? Im currently on Pure Shamu 2.6 and am going to restore back to stock to see if that might be the issue, just wanted to see if it might just be my unit.
me as well, looked it up and found your thread
I have noticed that also.
Hi, could everyone that has the nexus 6 with the top speaker that is louder, put there ring tone volume on 100 or 75 and play your ring tones and confirm if you have some distortion with some of the ring tones, kind of sounds like a blown speaker, a raddle like sound, and also make a speaker phone call to see if you hear it as well, don't really hear it when playing music, just on rings and speaker phone at a higher volume
I think I've narrowed it down to Viper sound. I reflashed back to stock and the speakers worked normally. Then i reflashed pure rom and speakers still worked. Gonna test on my next to be sure.
Well I'm on a stock ROM since I bought this phone and I noticed that the top speaker plays louder. It's a bit annoying because I'm the kind of perfectionist person...

N echo

I still get the echo in n on calls while any type of video is visually playing on the screen. Even with no sound.

What have you tried? Not a lot of info to start a separate thread.
Sorry this was supposed to be a reply in another thread. Im not sure how i started a new one. Anyway yeah, just like it says, if there's a video playing onscreen while I'm in a call on speaker phone, it uses the bottom speaker, but as soon as the video is off the screen, the bottom speaker turns off and the top takes over eliminating the echo. Obviously the bottom speaker is too close to the microphone to be used without it picking that up. Seems to me that if something that wants to use stereo is in focus, then it activates both speakers. Happens while scrolling past videos on Facebook while on speakerphone call as well as other social media sites that autoplay video without sound.

I assume you're on the stock or stock-based ROM? If so, then yeah, that's still an issue even after flashing the speakerphone fix. The solution has to come from Google, hopefully in the March update.

Nope. I'm currently on the newest neo RR but it occurred on official and liquid dark also. The regular echo issue is fixed. I was just throwing the idea out there that it had to do with anything on the screen requesting stereo so people would have one more idea to test before saying they still had the same echo issue. The March update won't really matte except for stock roms. It's not a big enough problem to be a deal breaker for N.

I wasn't aware that the issue had gotten into Lineage source. From what I've read, what you've got is part of the same issue and it does the same thing on stock after the fix is installed, if you're on a call using speakerphone (or not) and you have any system sounds or other media that request audio, then the echo comes back and persists until a reboot. It must be in AOSP source as well now.

Call quality

When you call granny, does she keep saying "Huh?! Wut?!" or does the conversation flow pretty well? Rate this thread to express how you feel about the Google Pixel 2's call quality. A higher rating indicates that calls are clear and crisp, and that regardless of background noise, you can hear the other party clearly (and with ample volume) and they can hear you.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Terrible, constant high pitch sound always present when screen is on and a clicking sound that is like a clock. Always the same rate and always present even during calls. RMAing my Pixel 2 and my wifes Pixel 2 for the same reason.
My Pixel 2 has the same type of problem. When you are on a phone call and using the phone against your ear, you hear digital interference noises and ticking sounds. It is so very annoying and unusable.
I heard that turning NFC off help this for the 2 xl
I made one call today from my house and didnt have that problem but my NFC has been off since setting up the phone. I am on Fi and wifi calling as well. One off thing though is I did pair the device up with my Jeep and was playing pandora when a call came through over bluetooth. My Kenwood receiver picked the call up and immediately maxxed out the volume, the beep was loud enough to crackle my aftermarket speakers. Scared the **** outta me. I just immediately hit end call and dropped the volume down. I wouldnt doubt his very well may be an issue Kenwood though.
No issue here with call clarity. Maybe a small step down from my Turbo. But if there is one thing Motorola always nails is their radios.
Side question though, should these phones have a Face Sensor that locks the screen while on a phone call? Mine isn't locking and I was doing all manner of crazy things when my cheek touched the phone.

A little google searching suggests there's a link to Adaptive Brightness. I've re-enabled AB and will see what happens today.
Call quality seems to be good, but I have noticed an intermittent high pitched electronics whine. It's not on every call and not on every call with every person.
It's not a *fix*, but I find myself making and receiving actual phone calls less and less. These days just about every app has a high definition VOIP option available, so I find myself using that a lot. Hangouts, Messenger, Signal, etc. If you're making a lot of business calls daily or talking on the phone a lot with someone over a traditional voice call, I could see it as a dealbreaker. But moving forward, if there's a slight bug I can live with, some minor electronics whine over a legacy communication channel would be it.
I noticed the same problem from my pixel.. I was on a voice call using the Duo app, there a very low volume static clicking sound. I turned off NFC as this thread suggested and the clicking noise goes away; however, there's still some static noise. I wonder if this is a hardware issue...
Can any of you tell us where you got your GP2? Is it a Verizon Phone or did you order it from Google Store?
I just noticed this issue today, it is in line with the rest of your comments ("clock ticking", interference sounds, etc)
I have a Verizon Pixel 2, but I do not think it is limited to their phones. Hopefully Google is able to patch the issue in a future software update by disabling whatever is causing the issue during a phone call.
I assume a software fix will resolve the issue. It would be shocking to go to production with such a glaring problem.

Is the Pixel XL screen burn-in not a glaring problem?
Is anyone else having an issue where you place a call and nobody can hear you on the other end?
Just got my Pixel 2 XL Black last night, No clicking or Buzzing sounds. Call quality is clear. Speaker is bloody loud had to turn it down VS my original Pixel XL.Side Note NFC is on I use NFC daily.
My Pixel2 from google store works perfect. No sound issues. In fact better than my Pixel. The signal at my home left my pixel constantly jumping onto wifi, now I have bars and never goes on wifi. Using Verizon pre-paid.
Tried a GSM call today (Pixel 2 to Nexus 5X) and it was fine. Nothing wrong / Nothing special.
Generally I use VoIP that works also good.

Same issue, AND the beta didn't fix the annoying clicking sound either.
