Delay answering incoming phone calls?

Every time my wife calls she says she can't hear me for perhaps 2-3 seconds after I think the call has connected.. My previous phone did not do this, but the Nexus One does.
Anyone heard of this, and have any suggestions? I have Google Voice call on by default, but she's calling my cell number so I don't think it'd affect anything. As far as I can tell, the call is connected, but she can't hear me say anything for several seconds. I usually wind up going "Hello? Hello? Hello?" and she finally answers.

Glad to see I am not the only one this happens to..well not glad but i just hope this means its not just my phone.
I know when they call one of my numbers (either Google Voice or Cell Phone # not sure which) it says incoming call from <Name> press 1 to answer and press 2 to send to voicemail

@sandtiger
this is from google voice it is a filter setting you can change by going to to the setting on the google voice website.
But this is a different issue (im assuming) then the OP

Yeah, I think I muddied the waters mentioning Google Voice, but these are calls directly to me cell number..
I might try disabling Google Voice just for S&G just to see what happens.. Seems when I place calls, they're connected when I expect them to be, but the delay could be more critical when answering.
I haven't yet, but going to try calling myself from my work phone to see what kind of delay I'm hearing.

I am having this problem also...did you ever find a solution?

Using BT headset by any chance?
In that case, it's normal.

Nope, no headset. Just the phone.

I need to test some more, but I think this has gone away for me.. Delay answering, plus the other party was "dropping out" often, ie: if it got quiet on their end, their voice disappeared entirely, and sometimes faded in or out while doing so.
Only thing I've changed is I disabled Google Voice as being my default call method, but this thread is about answering calls so I doubt it matters, especially since the calls were directly to my cell number not my GV number.
I might turn GV back on the way I had it and test some more, but maybe it was something weird with AT&T?

Im noticing this problem too, both on 2.1 and 2.2.
It seems to be a problem specific to AT&T N1's.

I also experience this. I've adjusted to swiping the answer button, pausing, then saying "Hello." I typically pause about 0.75 or 1 full second, and rarely do I need to do it longer.
The opposite seems to be true of the vibrate-on-connect feature: about 1 second after the person picks up, then the phone vibrates in my hand. How is that useful?! =P

In call sound problem

I have in call sound problems.
When I reboot I can sometimes place one call without problems for as long as I want.
Other calls after that I have no sound, can't hear the call tone and other parties can't hear me.
Also incoming calls, i hear the phone ring but when i answer the other party can't hear me and i can't hear the other party.
The settings for sounds in the accessibility menu and noise reduction etc were off and stayed off. (other forum tips)
I also tried numerous factory resets with no avail
Can someone give me a hint how to fix it?
I have stock 4.2.2 International version of the S4 Active.
Baseband I9295XXUBMK2
Build JDQ39.I9295XXUBMK2
Kernel 3.4.0-2015525

Headset
I tried a different option. I can call with my bluetooth headset.
When i switch to speaker the in call sound drops. giong back to headset will not activate in call sound.

Same Here
The same happens to me. Only the bluetooth option works every time. I have tried several firmware and kernel versions and nothing has changed.
There is a workaround that I could find but it is totally impractical: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2371034
In forums for models / ROMs with a lot more users than this one (Nexus / CM) people with 4.2.2-based firmware versions there are many posts describing what could seems to be the exact same problem, which they have been able to fix via baseband updates or custom patches, but that does not really seems to be an option for the S4 Active...

Same problem with my SGS4A. I was on i9295XXUBMK2, tried to update using the phone update option, which rendered my phone unusable. Flashed new stock ROM i9295XXUBMK3, now I can use the phone, although sound problem persists.
Making a call: reboot, call
Receiving a call: answer, hang-up, reboot, call back
Anyone with 4.3 that has this problem on SGS3, SGS4 or SGS4A?
Edit 21.8.2014
I had the speaker changed last week and so far no problems. I am slowly getting confident that I can rely on S4A as a phone also, not just tiny surf tablet.

I have same phone, never got this pb. However I got some SD card issues after updating to KitKat...

Partial solution... for me at least
Hi guys ,
having same issue, disabling 4G option solves my problem. But it-s impractic cause I want to use the 4g... in a huawei phone I solved same issue by disabling an option of "mobile data always on"
Don't know how it's related...

Same issue for me. I made lots of research with no results. Nobody knows...

same problem here with no solution yet

same problem with in call and out call .... searched a lot about solution and no solution yet

I had a similar issue with bluetooth calls. First call would be fine, but after that I couldn't hear the other person on the line and they couldn't hear me. It turned out to be some kind of incompatibility with the Google "OK Google" detection with Galaxy S4-based phones. If I disabled it from detecting "From any screen", this seemed to correct the problem. However the setting might return on application updates. I would recommend trying that and see if it makes a difference. If it's not that, then I don't really know how to help you. I moved on from that phone over a year ago and have been happier ever since.

No Voice After Picking Up Incoming Call

I've had my HTC M8 H/K edition on Sprint 1 week now. I dont get a lot of calls, but I just realized my phone has a problem answering calls. The phone rings. When I answer the call, it picks up, and then there's just silence. No audio in or out. The caller hears nothing; I hear nothing. There is no problem when i make outgoing calls, just answering incoming calls. Anyone else heard of this issue?
I should add. Stock Rom, Unlocked Bootloader, Root, S-On

Here's an update -- It seems to be a problem with Google Voice. I read in another post that google talk installed on a PC might contribute to the problem as it is delivering the call to the app first. I removed google voice from my phone, and then reboot. Issue is gone, we'll see what happens when i reinstall google voice.

Same here with me...
what should be done..
?

I uninstalled google voice for now.

So I narrowed down the issue a bit further. It has to do with whether or not I'm on LTE. I still think Google voice might be interfering. But something is different with how the call is delivered when i'm on LTE. When I set my phone to CDMA only, the call rings, i answer it and everything is fine. When i turn back on LTE. The call rings, i answer it and it's dead air. No voice in or out. Really weird.
Other things I've tried. Wifi Off/On, no difference. Signed out of my google/gvoice accounts. I also disabled the feature to deliver calls to Google talk/hangouts. Maybe it takes a while for the settings to take effect.

I have the same issue completely stock HTC one with latest OTA updates and Google Voice I can only receive phone calls when I am on CDMA doesnt work on WIFI or 4G.

Call Ended and Incoming Unknown

Hello!
I've got a problem with my P10 - when I call anyone, the dialer instantly says "Call Ended", but the person on the receiving end receives the call and can answer but there's no sound(my phone doesn't even show that there's a call), and when I get an incoming call, I dial Unknown. SMS and mobile data work just fine. My SIM card doesn't work in my dad's phone, but it works in some random phone, which is on 4.4 I think, my dad's SIM card, which works in his phone, doesn't work in mine, so I think there's a problem in my phone. So far I've tried a factory reset, safe mode and replacing Telecom in priv-app(I'm rooted, but I unrooted + factory reset to make sure it's not the root).
From what I've found this issue isn't exclusive to Huawei, but the fixes that worked for others didn't work for me(Don't have VoLTE/Wi-Fi calling option, never on Wi-Fi anyways, also no Caller ID, Call Barring isn't activated and I can't activate it)
My phone is on B382.
If possible, I'd like to rule out every possibility before changing the SIM card.
Thank you!

P20 Pro call forwarding active. Won't let me make calls

This is odd. This morning I received a phone call from my family but didn't answer as I was working.
When I got back home I called them back but it cancels it before it starts ringing and says call forwarding active.
I am with plusnet in case this helps.
I checked the settings but nothing seems odd. Its disabled except for when it rings for some time and goes to voicemail which is the default.
I don't understand why I can't make calls.
I've tried calling my phone and it says it's unavailable so people now can't call me either.
I'm not sure what I may have accidentally pressed whilst out. No airplane mode enabled or anything.
I've only had the phone for a couple of weeks.

Have u tried going to settings and search for Call Forward?
You can putt call forward for every sim in your device. Check if there is something enabled.

Change a SIM card and try it.
