Phone call answer delay?

Whenver i answer a phone call, I can hear the other person, but there is a delay of between 5 and 10 seconds before the other person can hear me, rather annoying as I end up saying hello 5 or 6 times at the beginning of every phone call. Now I have taken to remaining silent for upto 10 seconds after i answer just to prevent this.
I am running gtrabs W4X 6.5 +R3A with the 1.14.25.55 radio with the rilphone.dll that was posted with it. I think the problem happened before I had this software too though, and ideas or suggestions? a better radio perhaps? I'm on Vodafone UK.
Thanks.

me too, i would like a definitive fix for this please.

Nope, I have it too... Very annoying...

me too! there is a 2 sec delay from pressing the button to being heard from the other party on the line. I have installed the Touch HD phone dialer on top of the stock rom (R3) so i am not sure if that is causing the problem.

Well 2 seconds is a lot less than the time I get and I'm not using any sort of 3rd party dialer so i doubt taht's your problem.

i've had aproblem when u cant even answer a call it just keeps on ringing.......
usually if someone call when i'm playing mp3's with media player

eh im not alone then... 2 or 3 seconds before they can hear me..

yes i have the same problem too...it happened just recently after i got itje's touch-it 7 rom, but not immediately after i put that rom, so i dont know if that's the problem.

I'm using stock R2A Generic UK with stock dialer and I also have about 2-3 seconds before the other person can hear me.

basically i dont think it has something to do with the rom..cause i changed to stock rom and the same problem exists...so it must be some hardware problem...anyway i 'm taking it for service...

I think we all have that problem, and it has nothing to do with the ROM.

Its pretty bad in this modern era of high tech devices that just answering the phone has become so complicated lol

this phone is so complicated but cant do the simplest of things correctly.

Did anyone think about the Provider at any point? Because it might be Network related too.
I have no delay and are on T-Mobile USA.

I have it on TMO USA.

got the same problem on Vodafone NL..

well i have the same problem on cosmote greece....and lately it has become a lot worse...now the other person sometimes cannot hear me at all even after a minute...and if he finally manages to hear me, then they tell me that my voice is too low in volume...even though im practically yelling at them...could this have something to do with the microphone??since i can hear the other person perfectly...

on vodafone UK here - this problem is bloody bloody annoying - i end up saying hello twice if not 3 times to people - really poor. Xperia is failing to do the most simple of tasks - act as a phone which is what it should excell at!

not "xperiancing" any problems here.
running the same setup as aliasneo and i'm on Fido in canada.

Call disconnect

hi everyone, i had upgraded my 4x HD to jellybean by LG pc suite and it seems very good, after 2 days a big f*** problem appeared, when i call anyone or received a call, at any time ,i can hear the another person and he can't, it may be takes 20 seconds or 2 min then the line cut out. this problem appeared after upgrade the mobile to jellybean. if there any solution for that ?????

Factory reset test sound again and see if there is any improvement.

I had the aame problem, and some other members too. We narrowed it down to voip communication (Skype , viber) causing the issue. I recommend kitkat roms, havent had any issues on kitkat regarding that.
A workaround is to trigger speakerphone, then back to normal, mic should work again for some time

i tried to do factory reset and nothing change :s :s

Microphone Problem on N Preview

So I've had multiple calls this morning come into my phone where the microphone doesn't appear to be working, even via Bluetooth. Got a call from my boss earlier and the phone wasn't picking up anything I said. After a reset I was able to make a call and could be heard on the other side, then switched to a BT headset and was still working. Cut to an hour later and I take an incoming phone call while on BT in my car and the same thing happened, it was like I was on mute. Has anyone else run into a similar issue on their N6 or on the N Preview???

I am having the same issue. People can't hear me what so ever. Will probably have to flash back to M.

I am on AT&T though I just tried something and it may have fixed it. I downloaded Hangout Dialer to see if making a call on my phone via Google Voice would work. When I called someone, a little popup on the bottom came up and it said, your microphone is disabled, with a button that said enable. I clicked that and now it seems to be working. Not sure how the microphone was disabled.

Thanks for the heads up, I tried that and Hangouts said the same thing. I wonder if it is going to keep turning the mic off or if this is a permanent fix.

I will probably do a bit more testing on it, but luckily I found out a workaround. I assume that "fixed" your issue as well?

The Hangouts Dialer fix only seems to be temporary, as the mic gets disabled every few hours still. It's not a major problem for making calls, because I can use the Hangouts dialer and it lets me know if I need to enable it. Doesn't work as well though for incoming calls because I don't have a chance to enable it, so it's kind of a crapshoot if it's going to be working or not.

Yea, Same thing happened to me just this morning. Luckily I already knew how to fix it.

exact same here....just started out of the blue this morning. rebooted, tried bluetooth etc, nothing worked..... I turned on my 6 to try calling myself via hangouts, and lo and behold a message: 'enable mic' I came to this thread via a goog search on how to enable the mic....Ive never seen a setting for that ever before! Anyway, the hangout process worked so far

How did you flash? Ota or syste.img?
When I came to the N preview..i wiped system, data,cache and dalvik cache. Then i flashed the N system.img, a modified boot.img and SU. I haven't had any of the problems that some are reporting with N. So I'm wondering what is the main difference between install methods.

Microphone only works during calls

Good afternoon,
I have had a Nokia 8 for a few weeks now and have now found that my microphone only works during calls. While I'm on the phone everything works normally but in all other apps nothing happens, e.g. in Whatsapp you only hear a short crack when you hear a voice message and then nothing, although you have said something (see attachment), also other apps that use the microphone like the Google Home App or a guitar vocal app don't work. Of course the permissions are set correctly for all apps but apparently this has no effect (see attachment). I've already written with Nokia Support, but after 14 mails about permissions, emptying caches and doing softresets they couldn't help me. Finally I was told to wait for the next Android update and hope that my problem was fixed there, or I should send my phone back to the dealer. My hope now is that one of you has an idea what could be the cause of the problem.
Thank you for your time!

Hello to everyone there,
I have next problem on my Nokia 8:
When somebody calls me or when I call someone on viber, I turn on speakers and other side can't hear me. Also when I put it on video call the same issue conitnuous to take. Regular GSM calls or viber VoIp calls works great as well as video calls with headphones.
I open ticket to a viber about this problem, and they told me I need to contact my manufacturer.
Yesterday I installed an Android pie from beta labs, but the problem still exists. How do you think the problem is hardware?

Hi ratola,
you can dial *#*#372733#*#* for a hidden FQC test menu, here you can test each mic seperated, i guess in your case it's the second mic in the top-speaker.

Hi Joeigel, unfortunately I have the same issue (and story regarding contacting support). The only way I can make calls via for instance WhatsApp is by using a handfree headset, or setting it to speaker-mode.
Waiting for the Android 9 release, if this isn't fixed with it, I'll send it in for warranty.
I do have another issue with the phone, and that's when I unlock my phone using the fingerprint scanner, 1 out of 4 times or so, the phone enables split screenmode. Do you (or someone else here) have similar experiences. It's quite annoying.

Update: Installed Pie, and no improvement. Issues still persists. Returning the phone today.

Sorry for the late response, my phone is also on it's way back to GB...

Ok, just got an update from the repair-center, they replaced a part and it should work OK now. Curious to see what they did and if it's resolved. Have to wait until it's shipped back. But keep us also posted about your progress
Off-topic: another issue I sometimes experience is when I unlock my phone with fingerprint, it sometimes switches automatically to the split-screen mode. It happens quite often and it's a bit annoying. Did you experience something similar with your Nokia?

I didn't experienced something like this. Did they send it back to you yet? Maybe they fixed both... ^^'

Microphone issue here too.
Internal mic on front facing camera is the culprit. I noticed a few weeks back that my 'ok google' hotwords were no longer working. This became a problem after I installed the december security patch. I rolled back to the november security patch and this did temporarily fix the issue, after I had gone through the initial setup of the phone, my 'ok google' hotwords worked, until i went to use the camera to see if the issue still existed... unfortunately it does. Contemplating rolling back to july to see if the issue is resolved, or trying to move forward and installing pie.

I've tried going up or down, I have oreo and pie on each of my A/B partitions and it does nothing. When i downgraded to oreo it worked for awhile but updating the google app or some sort of background service broke it again. Its definately mic 3 that has a fault, it has background interference noise when i do the test, it also occurs when recording video with the front facing mic on camera, the problem with the mic never goes away, after up/downgrading, I can't say whether this is related since it works prior to updating. rolling back/disabling doesn't solve the problem for the apps. Microphone/earpiece holes are clean and undamaged.

After further testing of this issue, the 'OK Google' issue is still present, if I want to ask google assistant 'ok google' the microphone barely picks up anything or even my question, practically screaming into the microphone is the only way to activate it, this matches with the results on my google activity, listening to my recordings of my queries shows evidence that the microphone sensitivity is way too low.
HOWEVER, when using google assistant by means of pressing the microphone and then asking the question, the result is clear and understandable and doesn't suffer from volume issues, I can't pinpoint if this is an issue with the Nokia specifically, it is not a problem with any other application that uses the microphone.

Having the same issue with Mic 3. It means I can't use it in speakerphone mode during calls or in Skype. It doesn't prevent me from using the Google assistant though.

My smartphone was sent in and repaired (complete motorboard replaced). During the time it was gone Android 9 came out, so I'm not sure if it was the repair or the software update.
But it works again without any problems
Kind regards
Joeigel

Question Microphone not working sometimes when in a call.

I have a problem with my new 11t pro. Stock Rom MiUI 12.5 purchased in Viet Nam, debloat some app (all in suggested app to debloat). I've use this phone for 2 weeks, and sometimes when im making a call, the other side cannot hear me at all, and i can hear them. This occurs occasionally, i think about 1/15 calls i make. This only happen when i was the one calling, receiving calls is totally fine. I've tried turn off "Hey google", no use. Tried "True phone" dialer instead of Phone by Google, it happens less but still there. Please help!

Try resetting the phone and reinstalling the rom like that you will be sure it is not a software problem.

Im doing a Factory reset first without debloating to see how it goes, only been 1 day but so far so good.

The proximity sensor is one of the weakest point of the phone.
During call the screen used to turn on and unfortunately the mute button is the first what I used the press with my ear..., so the microphone get muted.
I seen many people reported the same issue.
Check it before making hard reset!
