Since Jul20 calls are moving to speaker unintentionally -Note 8 - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I have this new issue, also a coworker has it. Also one with Note 9.
Have you encountered this changing to speaker from BT/ earpiece, without touching the cellphone?

Tilt problem with the motorola S9

I've searched everywhere, and couldn't find anything on this...
A few weeks ago, my girlfriend got me the Motorola S9 for my Tilt, I hooked it up, and realized sound was only coming out of the left ear... So, I searched google about the problem and found out a few people seem to have had that problem, and to just replace the S9... Well, I recently did (After the AT&T store found it fun to hassle me over exchanging ...) and The newer one has the same exact problem.
I've paried it and repaired it, soft reset the phone... turned the bluetooth headset off and than back on after setting it and nothing, sound only comes out of the left ear, however i know the right ear is working cause when i have an incoming call, both outputs ring, as well as beep when I hit the various controls on the S9. I also can hear a wooshing type noise when i'm talking or listening to music on the device (which gives me a headache, as only listening with one ear is annoying)
is there any type of software fix I could get to fix this? i'd hate to have the return the s9 again...
on side sound
I am running slueth's windows mobile 6.1. when I call the conversatoin only occurs in the left earpiece, when I use steroe its fine

Can't hear nor can other person hear during call?

So I'm on my 11th day of using the Nexus 6. I have 14 days to exchange the phone through T-Mobile if there's any issues. So far, no real hardware issues with the phone.
Here's my issue though. It's so random I can't figure it out. When I'm trying to call someone, the dialer dials the number, reaches the contact, but I can't hear the ringer and I can't hear anyone talking on the other line. The person on the other side of the line said when they answered the phone, there was no sound or voice from me - it was just dead.
The ONLY way I seemed to fix it before it does it again is to reboot the phone and calls will be normal. My question is, should I exchange the phone? It shouldn't be hardware, right? It sounds to me like a Lollipop issue but I don't see anyone else with this issue. Please help as I want to make up my mind whether or not I should swap for a new Nexus 6.
I'm running stock unrooted and locked bootloader. Thanks.
EDIT: I'm on T-Mobile too.
in for update please
same thing would happen to my wife's nexus 6 too. happens sporadically. don't know what causes it. doesn't happen often. hasn't happened with my nexus 6 yet. i have the blue 64gb and she has the cloud white 64gb.
notice the same thing happening with my father's nexus 4 a couple times too. only way to fix both phones is with a reboot.
thinking that it is a software issue and hopefully will be fixed with the next release of Android 5.1 since that is supposed to mainly be bug fixes.

Are you on T-Mobile? I ask because I think my issue was more an issue on T-Mobile's side. My friend has an iPhone 6 and he had the same issue - it was T-Mobile's cell tower. I'm not 100% sure this was the reason because I still had to swap out my Nexus 6 when I originally posted this because of hardware issues.
Same problem here, answer an incoming call I can't hear them, they can't hear me. Rebooting the phone fixes the problem but only for a few days , then same again.
I'm on AT&T and had this problem yesterday, got a VM from my daughter's school saying there was a 2 hour delay and couldn't hear it (ended up seeing it in my e-mail instead). Then I tried multiple times to make/receive calls same thing. Rebooting the phone fixed it. I wasn't sure if it was a bug since I rooted or not. I've only had my phone for 6 days.
This has been driving up the bloody wall. I hope they fix it soon! Anyone got any ideas?
Guys, if you have to reboot the phone to fix the issue, I would RMA or exchange the phone. It could be hardware since it's happening on different carriers in different areas of the world. I'm on my third Nexus 6 and everything seems to function fine now.
I actually fixed mine by blocking the noise cancellation speakers at the back of the phone below the camera. If the nexus 6p is in a case all you need to do is cover the noise cancellation hole in the case and you will be fine and if not in a case just cover it with a tiny sticker
Having similar issue on Nexus 5!
Problem: When I call or receive calls - I cannot hear anything --- unless I switch to loudspeaker or use a headset.
Furthermore when dialing I cannot hear the connection sounds --- unless I switch to loudspeaker or us a headset.
The others can hear me! So - the microphone works.
I can record and play audio & video - no problem! So the microphone and the speaker do work, somehow not always! Vibration works too.
----------FIXED
P.S: I just got it fixed: It turned out the earpiece speaker contacts were bend and the sticky tape did not hold the part down. After bending the contacts and taping the earpiece down (alternative a small piece of paper to force / hold it down did the job!)
The earpiece contacts only presses upward against the board contacts of the Nexus5 (and 6 likely)!
Currently: Nexus 5 / Nougat 7.1.1 / Nitrogen OS / rooted on TWRP 3.0.3.0 recovery

Microphone cutting out during Speakerphone calls

Dear all,
As stated in the subject line, I am experiencing issues with the mic while on speaker. So this is happening whenever I used the speakerphone. It will work fine(ie the other side can hear me talk) but after awhile, it will stop working(the other side cannot hear). I will then have to take it off speaker and put it back on. That seems to work. This happens during normal mobile calls and also whatsapp calls. Unfortunately, when trying to record something with Audio Recorder, I haven't hit that issue, and it was recording for more than 4 minutes.
Has anybody else run into this problem? I am running a completely stock Note 5 out of the box, on 5.1.1.
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Ben

Same issue here, I'm using note 5 duos N9208 64gb. Please somebody help us...I think is some software issue
Edited my other post, putting the information here where it belongs. I found out how to replicate this bug on a SM-N920I with Android 5.1.1 thanks to a rooted ROM, 3.10.95-SkyHigh_TW_v3.9 UpInTheAir #1.
Turning on speaker AFTER a call connects mutes your own microphone, with no subsequent fix by turning on/off speaker during that call.
Turning on speaker BEFORE a call connects (i.e. you have to make the call) does not mute your microphone.

hi
Found your issue interesting and decided to test according to your theory (set out above )
As i use speaker quite a lot when making calls.
Firstly i have a N920 C , not rooted ,stock Rom .Tested calls speaker (numerous times ) with my Note5 and Note 3 .
Repeated , test after call connects and before calls connect etc etc .
.Well i was relieved , that speaker works 100% .No issues.
So its seems to me,
your bug could be limited to certain Roms or software ..? or did you perhaps use Package Disabler to disable some processes and now have a knock on effect ...no ?
hope you can sort issue out .!
Good luck .
Thanks for your reply and thank you for testing it out! I didn't use Package Disabler at all. I'm trying to find out how to go back to Stock ROM, but the baseband version of N920IDVU2AOKC is hard to find and I have, too late, stupidly realized I don't know how I can do it without having the stock ROM to start with.
Edit: Google is my friend. Samsung-firmware website...
Edit 2: Google is NOT my friend. That was a premium cash grabbing page. Link removed.
Edit 3: Google can be my sometimes buddy. http://www.galaxynote5update.com/ga...firmware-australia-and-new-zealand-singapore/
Edit 4: Fine. I'll use Smart Switch since nothing else is not pay locked. :|
Same issue with MM rom...

Mic not working on loud speaker. Huawei P20 Pro

Hi Guys
Just bought a Huawei P20 pro for my wife and discovered that when she makes a call, facetime, zoom etc and uses the loud speaker function it sounds really muffled like she's at the bottom of a pool.
I've tried a reset. I've tried restricting app permissions that use the microphone and none of it has made a bit of difference. I remember having a similiar issue when i replaced the screen on a galaxy s8+. The water gasket wasn't seated correctly and it caused the mic to become really muffled when using loudspeaker. Do you guys think it could be the same issue?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I've got no problem taking the phone apart just don't want to until I have exhausted all potential root causes.
Thanks in advance.

Question Poor call quality (problems with microphones?)

My sister bought the phone and while talking to her I've noticed how her voice goes from sounding loud and clear starts sounding like she's in a pit few meters away from the phone.
She had a lot of complains from other people regarding this, it happens across different apps, its hard to always replicate 100% but it happens in video calls as well.
I tried some troubleshooting with her and noticed when it happens that top microphone becomes the main one, while bottom one is there for something else as tapping on it produces no noise?
Anyone had any similar issues on this phone or any other Xiaomi phone? Its barely few days old and I'm wondering should she ask for another device or try fixing it its a known problem with this or another Xiaomi device?
I guess you are not alone in this misery. I have seen many people complaining about the sound quality of Redmi Note 10 Pro.
To resolve this problem, you may follow two procedures.
1. At first please try to update the MIUI software to the latest version. You may find a solution of this bug in the updated version.
2. Then check if the microphone is faulty. To do so, enter CIT and perform a test on the main microphone. If you find out that it's not working, then you must take it to a service center.
