Metallic accent is added to the other side during calls... - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In some calls the other side sounds a tad metallic (it's totally random. In some calls the other side sounds just fine).
I don't know if it's a radio issue or a hardware issue. Since it's not happening during each call, I guess it's a software issue.
My device's baseband version is N920CXXU2AOJ5.

No one is experiencing the same behavior?

[Q] HD7 - Incoming calls garbled

I've had an HD7 since UK launch on O2. I've had several incoming call that have been garbled. When the phone rings, I pick it up and cannot hear what the other person is saying because it's muffled.
Hanging up and rebooting the phone fixed the problem. Has anyone else experienced it or should I be reporting this to O2. I' not sure if it's the phone or a software problem.
Thanks
i've had no problems at all
mine is unlocked and i use it with the Vodafone sure signal box
Will be good to know if other people are having this problem, done a quick search here and not found anything so suspect it could be my phone
Same problem
I have been having the same problem
Picked from O2 and then unlocked.
Got a call and then middle of the call the other side couldnt hear me at all or could hear my like a robot.
Is this a firmware issue or a hardware?
I am not sure about the firmware but calling was okay on my side. The only problem I have is that the other side is speaking very softly even when I already switch the volume to the max (10). The person talking on the other end also complained about noisy background noise on my side. Anyone experiencing this?

Not for me. when I answer the call all I can hear is muffled talking. It's very garbled speach and no words can be understood. Also the volume is low regardless.
Next time it happens I will ask the caller what they could hear their end.
Looks like i'm the only one with call problems.
Apparently you are... I guess its best you send your set back for a new one...
No issues here, but i'm on a US T-Mobile HD7, so I don't know if that matters.
Exchanged my HD7 for a new one yesterday and had exactly the same problem.
On my previous HD7 I noticed that I was also losing audio every now and again in other areas of the phone, I reboot would be needed to get sound back.

anyone else noticed this ???

I have recently noticed when I made my first call after ICS upgrade, at high volume during a call, there is slight disturbing humming with the voice of the other person as if, the earpiece speaker is being driven beyond its limit. My note has never ever fallen from my hand even on my bed or sofa, so there's no possibility of any physical damage. Or could it be that the quality of earpiece speaker is really low that it starts giving such disturbances after some time. Anybody else experienced this?
It could just be the reception issue or some sort of interference rather than the ICS upgrade.

[Q] strange electric buzzing Noice from top speaker

Hello,
This might be a double post, but nevertheless I have noticed a strange buzzing noice from the top speaker. It seems to occur when i switch wifi off and then on. At that moment when it is receiving and sending data. It seems that the speaker comes on and creates it. If i have to discribe it i would say it sounds like electrical currence or a something shortcutting. Anyone else with this problem? I mailed my provider today and i am looking to send my device back soon.
Also, offtopic, i noticed that the screen isnt positioned properly, on the left side it sticks out...
For me two reasons to look for a replacement nexus 6.
Regards,
Elroy
I'm on my second phone and I'm noticing this too. Its fairly quiet, but in a quiet room it becomes very noticeable. It seems worse for me when the CPU is really going. Also, if I turn off and on the screen it gets louder. I actually noticed this issue with my first phone too, but I returned that due to a camera issue. It might just be interference from the CPU getting into the speaker. Not sure if returning it will help. Sucks this phone costs so much but we gotta deal with issues like this.
We have so many this speaker related issue. plz search.
Don't waste your time replacing the phone because all has it. It's more likely either SW can fix or just a pure dumb HW design by Motorola.

Microphone doesn't work

Hey folks,
I had the problem with the stock ROM and now I have the similar problem with jackeagels 5.5.1 (SM-G800F).
My microphone works sometimes and sometimes doesn't. People I want to call can't hear me. Eventually after a few calls they do. This is a state I don't want to stay in so does one has any idea what the problem could be? A while ago I pulled some dust out of the mic hole (with a needle) but that doesn't seem to be the problem here
Mines always been dust in the hole. Get compressed air can and blast it. Very annoying.
Hey Guys!
I have a similar problem but only when I use the internal mic, the problem does not occur when I use my headset.
Sometimes, the people I'm calling say that they can hear me very quietly.
Mostly, they say that they hear a constant noise or sound like a "bom bom bom" which is in the background. I can't hear this sound myself and as I said it does not occur when the headset is plugged in.
Any help is appreciated!
Regards, Jens
What phone model? What OS?
The main mic is at the bottom, near USB port. Recording a voice note without earphone, of course, works? The mic hole is dirt or blocked somehow?

Thanks for your reply.
It is a G800F with CyanogenMod 13.
I tested the issue after my initial post with the voice recorder in detail.
So the sound is a kind of buzzing like in the early days of mobile phones when you put your phone near a radio and you get an incoming call.
When I record with the voice recorder, then I hear the buzzing. It is stronger when I say something and quiter when I record silence. Then I also made the same test with my headset, and, unfortunately the buzzing also occured. The intensity was bit lower I think but the sound was there.
Unfortunately, I never tested it with the stock rom. Could this problem be related to a software problem? I'm not sure if I backup my CM and install a stock rom for testing...
Thx!
Yeah, the best way to mak sure it's not software is backup and going back to stock. If it still doesn't work then you have a hardware issue almost certainly...

Mic sensitivity issues

Is anybody finding the microphone on their Mix to be too quiet? When I use snapchat, skype, and phone calls, the person on other end complains that I'm barely audible. However, when I record something with the recorder app, it sounds much louder and clearer than a recording in snapchat under the same conditions. I have a feeling it's the noise cancelling microphones on top that are muffling the main microphone, but I don't have a way to test this. I've checked the mic grille for debris and already cleaned as much as I can without disassembling the phone. I don't think it's a hardware issue, because again, the issue seems to be app-dependent. I had this problem on stock MIUI 8 global, but now I'm running the latest RR build with Dragonxia, and the above scenarios still hold true. Anybody else experiencing microphone issues or has any idea how to solve this?
What case are you using? Maybe you've got one that blocks some of the mic holes? I use mine naked and haven't had a problem with microphone on miui 8. There are known mic issues on RR/Lineage ROMs.
