So my Nexus One just suddenly stopped voice out in phone calls (i.e no one can hear me on the other side.) I know that the mic isn't busted because I can skype out, and tried recording my voice with recording apps, it works just fine.
I tried everything. I wiped. I tried different roms. I rolled back to stock rom. I even updated the radio. Nothing seems to fix it.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
using google voice?
ive had that happen once or twice, I thought it was just some bad phone routing from google voice
Hey guys,
so recently I rooted my 2-week old Incredible S, and I installed Cyanogen on the phone. Everything works flawlessly, except for the fact I can't hear or talk when I or someone else makes a call, it's just awkardly quiet.
I can make the call though, but the clock keeps on ticking without me hearing something. All sound is on maximum and speaker-mode doesn't help either. Nor do I block the microphone or anything like that.
I tried everything like removing battery, SIM-card but even a factory reset didn't work. When I call with Skype it does work, I can talk and hear. Other applications that use sound or voice also work.
Does anybody have any advice?

Since CM7.1 is a Gingerbread ROM, you now need to flash a Gingerbread radio, too.
So that's it? Oh god, I'm relieved! I already spent hours and hours on the internet searching for some bug or faulty app.
Thanks for the fast reply!
Hm, so I finished installing a new Gingerbread radio on the phone by using some of the links on this page. Now I can't connect to any service or mobile provider.
Am I doing something wrong again? I already tried almost all of those gingerbread radio's.
EDIT: It seems like the problem fixed itself. All that was needed was a simple reboot, and now my connection is way better than before.
I'm glad it's finally working now!

When you first set up CM 7, which service provider did you pick? Have you tried running the CM 7 setup again or do a system reset to force CM 7 to go through the setup again?
Is this a branded IncS and if so, which carrier?
Updated my phone to the latest update. I was looking forward to volte and simultaneous voice and data. Now my external speaker doesn't work right. When I'm on a phone call speakerphone doesn't work and the alarm sound cuts in and out. The odd thing is when I play songs off of Spotify the external speaker is fine. Has anyone else seen this issue since they took the new ota?
I've noticed that when I'm on a voice call the speaker has a lot of static noise when the volume is all the way up. When I turn the volume down or put it on speaker however, it sounds perfectly normal.
Yeah I have that same behavior as well. I still can't get the alarm to have sound. My phone just vibrates. No one else is having sounds issues after the OTA?
I had to turn off HD voice.
My volume is fine, but my volume up button rarely works. I have to go into settings to turn my sound up. Down is fine.
for all of you having issues try doing a FDR.
My alarm works fine but I'm using Zedge for my ring tones and notifications. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. What I little I have had HD voice switched on I get the same static noise in my speaker at full volume, no static with HD voice off. I agree with the_rooter about HD voice.
Posted by the the_rooter in the tread I started.
"to me it feels like advance calling is still in alpha stage. I have it off right now till i see it gets better"
Called Verizon on this issue. They had me turn off advanced calling and wipe the phones cache. I left the phone be for awhile as the sound stops working a few hours after reboot. Got the sound issue again so I rebooted the phone into safe mode. Still ran into the issue after a few hours. Finally I did an FDR and still had the same issue. Verizon is sending a new phone next week. I will keep everyone posted if this was a manufacturer defect.
So voice sounds great over car Bluetooth after update but earpiece on phone sounds like crap. Anyone else have this issue? Does the FDR fix the issue?

Just wondered if you received replacement phone. I just activated advanced calling last night and now my calls have static background noise.
I just went in to settings, turned advanced calling off, tried a call and sound was back to crystal clear. Then i turned advanced calling back on, tried a call and it had static hiss again. Obviously a glitch in the advanced call update.

Glitch in advanced calling, period. I doubt its phone specific.

I worked with Verizon tech support and after 2 hours of trying different things they sent me to a store to get a replacement phone and new sim card. This "UPDATE!" DID NOT FIX the problem of poor sound with Advanced Calling turned on for HD sound. Their explanation was that the update does not load properly and the only way to fix is new phone plus the new sim card, but this did not correct the problem.

I can't understand how a new phone would help anything. What's the difference between that phone and my phone? Is it a different build? Maybe a new SIM card and a full wipe?

This is the first update that was released for advance calling and honestly it's still in the alpha stage. The service is buggy. It's not the phone. Why go talk to verizon when you can go directly to the source. Motorola....they are the ones that know the answer and they would give the same one you get here.

This update wasn't aimed at address poor sound with advanced calling, so no big shock there.
The sound quality can probably be fixed from the network end. You dealt with a tier 1 tech who didn't know anything. These same complaints are made on other VoLTE enabled devices unless using HD calling, which is rather rare.

The tech last night was a tier 2 and has spoken with others with the same problem. The unique issue with turbos is that wr cannot use data while on a call without the advanced calling on, so it is either bad call/data during call or clear call/no data while on a call. The technician i spokebwith today was also a tier 2 and was calling Motorola to inquire as his internal note system (forgot what he called it, those are my words) identifies a number of users with this issue and he had just completed 3 calls prior to my call.

Go look at any Verizon VoLTE device and they all have the same complaint: poor quality unless an HD call.
It is not Turbo specific, no matter how much you want to believe that. I've done the tech support thing; they usually rely on guesswork and scripts unless you get in contact with someone not on the frontline--which you did not.
The turbo is a very popular device with Verizon right now, I am not shocked that others have called about this. What you are seeing is a result of popularity, because other VoLTE devices on Verizon also have this issue, indicating a more likely network issue. Either its a network issue or everyone with a VoLTE phone on Verizon keeps making the same mistake in their firmware. In that HD calling sounds great, I don't think its the devices at all.
Update. Holding my phone in landscape mode and pressing the speaker location with my thumb would cause the speaker to turn on and off. Good to know its the hardware. The new phone has since fixed the issue.

When I was on the phone with Verizon they mention this as a know issue and that it would be fixed with an upcoming update. The advice I got was to just turn off HD Voice and wait for the update.
Support had me clear cache after turning off HD Voice.
I know other phones aside frone the Turbo have the sound problem if they have downloaded Advanced Calling and have HD sound turned on. The additiinal problem for Turbo users is that without the AC turned on we cannot use data while on a call. The technician did not know this to be an issue until i read him the error message that appears when attempting to use data while on the phone with AC off. I leave it off, but frustrating when i need to look up something for someone calling me or when using maps and a call knocks it offline. Oh well, hope for an update sooner rather than later.
Hi,
I rooted my phone a while back, but after installing a custom kernel and ROM I began having problems with regular voice calls. I started hearing these noises and cracking while on call. I tried installing the ROM again, because i thought that something went wrong with the installation, but now i can`t hear anything while on regular call. What puzzles me is that sometimes after reboot my phone can`t even play music or any audio files and sometimes its working just fine. Also my viber voice calls are working fine i just have problem with the classic voice call. I have noticed that when i put my phone just on GSM mode it gets a little better / i can hear the beeps before the person i`m calling picks up/ but its still not a solution. I have tried to restore stock ROM and it didn`t work. Also I didn`t have s-off when the problem began if it`s of any significance. If someone has any idea how to help me I will be most grateful.
Bit of a disappointment that the basic function of the phone is not working correctly!
In order to be heard on a call I need to switch on speakerphone. Anyone else had this issue?
Tried wiping the cache and restarting the device.
Verified that the microphone is working. I can make calls with Messenger, WhatsApp etc.
Upon hanging up, there is an audible pop on the receiver end during my tests.
Affects both incoming and outgoing calls.
NX627J_V1AMB with build NX627J_ENCommon_V2.03. The phone came with V1.03 but did not test calling.
Phone app build version 11.0.
Any help much appreciated.
Hi,
Ordered my phone with EU distribution and came with NX627J_ENCommon_V2.03 and I don't have such a problem. Maybe flashing went wrong? There are many users experiencing issues after flashing.

Hi, this was after flashing but I've since debricked (using https://forum.xda-developers.com/nubia-z20/how-to/tool-nubia-z20-unbirck-tool-t4009227) so believe I'm on the correct firmware. If someone can confirm this is the case that would be useful otherwise I will try and flash firmware
