During calls. Other person's voice echos distorted like almost a weird demonic sort of sound (could it be possessed? ?) which in all seriousness is just an echo likened to an overspill problem, or the other person's voice is picked up again by the mic and it's damn annoying during calls as it's an uneccessary tedious problem. A phone by a company like Sony, with its specs at release and even now! I've tried the microphone suppression and it does nothing, I've tinkered with mixer paths... Equaliser bright... Nothing does any difference. Sony help sites are atrocious, no solution. Sure the phone is still usable in other ways but it's defeating the fundamental point and main feature. Can anyone help me in my last cry for help before I throw it into the massive pond beside my house.
Cheers. ?

I've had my AT&T banded N1 (with Rogers in Canada) for nearly 2 weeks now and I've been waiting to make sure everything works properly before I potentially give up my warranty by unlocking it. One thing that has been bugging me though is the call quality.
Everyone raves about how clear the call quality is on these things, but based on my phone I don't really agree. When no one is talking the line is dead silent (so silent that I almost think that the call has dropped), but when the other person begins to talk a light static or crackling background noise starts and once they finish talking it goes away and is completely silent again. If the static was there all the time I might not even notice it, but since it stops and starts during pauses in the conversation it really stands out. This happens on both the handset ear piece and with the headphones that came with the phone.
Has anyone else noticed this? If it's normal so be it, but if not then I might as well try and get it fixed before I do anything.
I don't have the at&t version but that does not sound normal.
Crackling is normally a sign of a speaker problem but I wouldn't think the headphones would also produce it.
seems i have the same issue...
i havent noticed any noise like this, but i will go test it and see if i have it too.
It's the speaker, for some reason the Nexus One comes with a slightly-too-loud speaker volume setting built in and you need to turn the incall volume down one notch from max. At least that solved my problem, hope this works for you!
have just called Google Tech Support and the guy suggested me to blow into the earphone couple of times and see if it helps
if not, do a hard reset
if not, call for warranty...
Since I get this noise in both the handset and ear phone speakers at all volumes I have to assume the problem is with my radio.
It's too much of a pain to get warranty work done outside of the US so I'm just going to learn to ignore it.
I'm not sure if anyone else has had this, but this is the first phone i've come across with this issue...
Whenever I'm gaming or something and my phone rings, I instantly pick up and balance it between my ear and my shoulder when i talk (you know, like old school phones when multitasking)...
But whenever i do this people say i sound like I'm talking in a tin can...
Is the second Mic (to drown out background noise) to blame?
make sure that mic isnt blocked. if you put it on your shoulder it will happen
No matter how I hold the phone people complain about this.
People have actually asked me what kind of ****ty phone/reception I have because the audio quality is so bad.
it may be a bad mic. have you always had this? maybe you should call gtc because all the major phone reviewers noted the nexus had one of the best quality calls of any phone. it should not sound that bad
Mine sound great at least. I know this since both me and my brother has a N1. Really good sound quality from my experience.
I've read this same issue before on the Google Android forum. Apparently it has something to do with the secondary mic and how the shoulder conducts sound thereby activating the noise cancellation of your own voice.
I also talk this way and don't have this issue atleast no one complaint.
I am waiting for my warranty replacement due to come in today.
Will report if that fixes it.
Have you guys tried using like a bluetooth headset or wired set to see if it's really the mic issue?

Thats the conclusion i came to... guess i'll start looking into a Bluetooth headset
Is anyone else getting a very slight "processing-type" sound when on phone calls? It's hardly enough to notice and I only hear it when the other person and I are completely silent, but it's there. I was just wondering if it's only my phone or all of them. It's not really loud enough to complain about, just asking out of curiosity.
What does a processing-type sound, sound like?
Like your computer when it is processing something, or maybe when the hard drive is being read, though not as loud as either of those obviously since it's so small. It's hard to explain, but if you listen closely when no one is talking but a phone call is in progress, you should hear it.
Hard drives make clicking sounds.
The disks also make a slight "whirring" noise which is more of what I was referring to.
EDIT: I listened to it again and this doesn't really accurately describe it. It's very hard for me to explain and as I said it's so quiet that it's really a non-issue, just a curiosity I guess. If anyone else happens to notice it at some point, let me know, if not then no worries.
Ahhh. See now we are getting somewhere. I know what you're referring to. That's interference you're hearing most likely. Remember back when if you put your old GSM phone near some speakers you'd occasionally hear weird sounds kinda like a chirping and buzzing etc? You still get that nowadays but its not as profound. Its just a small whining sound. As long as you have a speaker and you have something emitting radiowaves near it, you will have speaker feedback
Oh I know that sound. If I put my phone near my speaker after sending a text or anything it does that. I would say it could possibly be a very quiet version of this, but to me it sounds like the sound is coming from the phone itself and not the speaker, but only when on a phone call. I'm not sure about that though and you may be right about it just being some sort of interference - could be that it's just fooling my ears into thinking it's not coming from the speaker since it doesn't fit in at all with the rest of the call.
I mean nothing else on the phone actually makes noise, aside from the small click that the power and volume keys make. You don't hear electricity or data moving through memory or the cpu etc...
Hi
Sorry if this is a really dumb question.
I get a buzzing noise while on the phone to one contact.
Is this a problem on my end or theirs? I'm assuming it's theirs as I don't seem to have a problem with any other phone calls.
It's such a bad loud noise that I seriously can't hear anything the contact says but they can hear me perfectly fine.
Is there anyway of boosting phone call signals or something to try and fix this on my end?
Thanks
If its unique to one contact then I would suggest that its the other end thats duff....
The other end completely cuts out when I talk a little louder than normally.
Anyone else? Try humming or singing "laaaaa" while on a call and please report back.

Probably a related issue to what I've been experiencing during normal calls when recipients cannot hear me. It happens randomly during phone conversation where they suddenly cannot hear me at all. As for your sounds you're testing with, it may be registering your loud sounds as "background noise" since they are not typical human speech (even though you should be able to say "laaa" or hum into your phone if you want!).
Check my details here and see if you can replicate using only normal speech, and I'll update when I hear from HTC, and hopefully have some news of it being addressed in a future update.
