As of now I'm on my 4th Gnexus and once again I'm being plagued with the same issue I have since my first one back on launch day. Loss of voice during a call, high pitch noises, (think scratching on a chalk board) loss of sound on all key press as well as numbers when dialing.
I have called about this issue. First time around Verizon said take it back get a new one. So I did that and so on happened 2 more times same issue same results. Now on my 4th one its starting again. So verizon said it was Samsung and Samsung said Verizon.
So I was hoping for some input on what direction I should go now.

After so many replacements, I can only imagine that this is happening because of your location?

My wife has the same phone and she has not had any of these issues. On the other had she doesn't use her phone as much as I do! I'm pretty much on mine all day and she maybe looks at it once a day.

This is an obvious case of user-error. The odds of getting a defunct phone that many times in a row is about like winning the lottery, literally.

when you said high pitch noises, do you mean that during a call you can hear a buzzing sort of noise when people speak? I get that on my nexus too, it's slightly irritating but I'll live with it, better than spending time to unroot it, go back to stock and then waste a whole week in the service centre.

It's obviously not user error.. If you read a bit you'd see there is a very lengthy thread about this very issue.. It's called microphone cutting out during call or something like that.. You can replace your phone as much as you want, it's not going to change it. the cause is unknown but I believe they have at least determined it not to be hardware..

That is correct. Audio outbound gets garbled and then lost completely. This is the worst bug of this phone. I can't count how many phone calls where I'd have to hang up and redial because the other person couldn't hear me anymore.

I'd blame the carrier, as i'm on Orange UK, and I use T-Mobile UK as well, and call quality both ends, is excellent
Your wife may not have the issue but are y'all talking on the same tower when the issue arises? I'm on Verizon as well and never had this problem. That said, I don't talk a lot, maybe 400 minutes a month - mostly to my boss that has an iPhone so half the time I can't hear crap anyway due to that fact.
I will say, as a recent T-Mobile transplant that has used Verizon off and on for several years with work phones, Verizon doesn't seem to have the same call quality in general terms. Maybe it's just my ear, but even back in the day I owned some Motorola claim shells that sounded pretty muddy.
Have you tried to replicate the problem on a completely stock phone with no 3rd party apps? I wonder if there's a conflict somewhere.

I pretty much tried everything. New sim cards, using it with nothing installed (stock) I'm super bummed I been waiting on a nexus device to hit Verizon for a while now. I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to put up with this.
What about rolling back onto 3G? Are you on the fringe of LTE connectivity at all?
I know a lot of people talk about call quality. Frankly, I haven't experienced any issues and no one has told me that it sounds like crap (and believe me, I have friends that would mention it, we're a HARSH bunch). I don't doubt they exist, and you certainly don't sound like 3/4ths of XDA that are overly dramatic whiners. Out of curiosity, roughly how many minutes a month do you talk? Any chance that it's just an issue where, well you know, the more you do something the more opportunity to experience something that goes wrong? I used to talk a ton for work, like 3000+ minutes a month. I had a lot more dropped calls then than now, know what I mean?
You know what I'd do, which Verizon would HATE but, hey, you are the customer. I'd take you and your wife's phone into Verizon, and have them flip the numbers around. Keep EVERYTHING else about the phones the same. Her apps stay, your apps stay, just swap the numbers around and try her phone with your regular use for maybe 3 or 4 days. If you can replicate the problem while she doesn't experience the issue at all on your phone, then you can probably narrow it down to either the tower your on, or maybe the phone really is just buggy after you've been on it for a while.
Every so often I'll have a long conversation and a call gets dropped, but I've never not been able to hear someone or them not be able to hear me. Like, they're the typical issues that you could assign to either being a tower pass off problem or the nature of LTE long before the phone (on either my end or the other person's end). But, like I said, that's a rare occurrence for me.
What version of ICS are you running? I had this same problem, specifically and most frequently the one where the audio cuts out of a call, sometimes it'd do it and force me to re-call my girlfriend as many as 3 or 4 times in an hour.
What fixed it was flashing ICS 4.0.4 released from Google themselves (if I waited for Verizon to do it I'd probably be single by now). This fixed it for me immediately right out of the gate. I've had the other issues you spoke of every so often but the audio cut out was constant. This fixed everything. Been running for a while without problems (month or so maybe?).
Eh...you didn't flash it straight from Google. At best, you flashed it straight from the Verizon/Google ota server the test ota is on
I stand corrected, this is what I get when trying to post while on hold at work. Not straight from Google, leaked 4.0.4. Originally found it elsewhere linked to a google domain site, but it's best served up here.

Did not fix the microphone going out issue for me :-( I just flashed the 4.0.4 leak on Tuesday hoping it would alleviate this problem, but I had the mic go out about 15 mins into a call last night. Same story as with stock, had to hang up and re-dial to continue the conversation.
I have been reading everyday since the day it came out... the same day I bought it.
Hope you all don't mind but I have quite a few questions/frustrations
1st, Battery life is killing me... cannot make it through a day, I have put my screen on auto which seems a lot dimmer than set to 40 or 60%. All I do is play some solitaire, check mail a lot, a little bit of net, maybe 30 minutes of calls (tops) a few txt msgs, with maybe 2 hours or slightly more of screen time.
External speaker is embarrassing... tried showing a video to a friend with an iphone and felt like flushing the damn phone after he did the same.
Data connectivity is still hit and miss... one minute I have 4 bars of 4G and the next I have none.
I am on (details in sig) 4.0.4 (Craig Gomez version) with the newest radios. The device is a serious work tool for me so I really don't have the time to try different ROMS or kernels all the time... I need it always ready for calls, emails and occasional RDP or Logmein sessions .
For those of you have actually tried many/experienced in the world of various ROMs & kernels... do you have a suggestion of what to do with my setup?
Between the battery and data connectivity I feel the phone is close to crap... my friends with Razors have none of these problems and I feel like I am ready to snap.
BTW... if you could be even more kind... if you have a suggestion on what to run, could you suggest a brief set of instructions... i.e. nandriod, full wipe, install this first that second...
Thanks for any and all help... I sure would like to come up with or remember a reason why I have this and not a razor max.
Do you have the latest radios? That will make a difference. I do know the speaker is weak. There's not much to do but for a volume hack, some roms have it enabled.
Id ask for a replacement phone if battery is that bad and you can't get a decent signal anywhere but other phones can. Sounds like a defective phone.
I've been using Android Revolution for about 2 weeks, and as for today, I don't think there's anything as good as it. It's just like stock, just a little bit faster. I have great battery life, 5 to 6 Hours of screen on time, AutoBrightness, sync on, wifi always on, etc, it's pretty good, you should give it a try.
I've also used AOKP (with FrancoKernel and with stock kernel), and even tho I liked all extra features, in my experience, with screen off, it drains battery a looot faster that stock/ARHD.
I used an app called equalizer to fix the speaker

Autobrightness will kill your battery more than a static 40 or 60%.
2 hours of screen on time seems normal for the Verizon Nexus.
Try the volume + app for your speaker problems.
There are some kernels that have sound boosts built in.
Signal drops means you should exchange the phone. Use the insurance.
Honestly if you hate the phone as much as it sounds, just get a different phone.

Perfect response.
Don't get me wrong... I in no way "hate" phone, if I did I would have gotten rid of it.
I'm frustrated not stupid.
I am amazed that Verizon hasn't done something about it... most of the buyers of this phone are not IT savvy rooters... my phone works a lot better than stock, I cannot imagine how frustrated someone on 4.0.2 would be.
Anyway... I am going to take it back to stock and return it... guess I will try it (the new one) out stock but I know I will want it rooted. Guess I'll try some of the suggested software\ROMS.
I wonder what a stock one is coming with these days?

Stock phones will 99% come with 4.0.2 but like I said, they don't all have the problems you have.. except low speaker volume.

Well... things just changed again.
Just talked with Verizon and he asked if I installed the update pushed out on the 25th? I told him I will give it a shot and get back to them.
Anyone got instructions for reverting back to stock?

ok guys and girls heres my problem, i work in an automotive shop 8 bays , i have a very large snap-on tool box which i have mounted a computer surround sound system to . every morning 6 days a week i plug my phone in and we all listen to pandora all day. now the plus to this is i can hear every phone call, email or alarm that comes to my phone . used this set up for 2 years with my rezound . well with my new One the music sounds great but alarm sounds and ringtones are very low to the point that i almost cant hear them .also on my rezound music would kinda... not pause but stop for a second when notifications came through then come right back on . the One does not ,the notification just plays on top of the music. does anyone else have this problem ? all my sounds are set to the maximum . im thinking its some sort of programing error and was hoping a dev could fix it ?
thanks guys

Notifications alarms and such (minus phone calls) are very muted without a doubt. Sometimes when I go walking and listen to my music I have issues with that if someone texts or something.

Glad to hear its not just my phone . Now is there anything we can do to fix it ?
Drives me nuts too. Luckily I have the Pebble watch so notifications vibrate my wrist, but I still miss a few when I'm driving down the road streaming music and charging my watch. Looking for a fix or workaround as well.

That doesn't effect them when music is playing. Its been an issue on every HTC phone I've ever owned. They are severely muted when music is playing.

I may be S-OFF but it came with a price-tag, 8 days of stress. Monetary value was also worth it, but being ignored for 2 days while other phones that got there 1-2 days after mine did with no response, not a great process for ME personally, please don't attack me again ppl this is MY experience and opinion.
But,
trust me bro if I knew how I'd do it.. I always do..
I have and never will mess with the audio ESP on this phone.
I could turn it too high because I have no idea what I'm doing and blow all your speakers.
I don't ever claim to be Mr. Amazing DEV either, in-fact according to XDA I am only a Recognized Contributor.
but I digress. I have limited skill. I am not one that can write original code.
I am decent with smali, but again cannot write original code, most devs can't either, in-fact prob 99%.
Does this mean I am worthless as a Developer, IMHO, no, as it's proved on the SG3/SG4.
Basically, my skill range only goes so far, I really do wish I could fix everything you guys ask for, but the reality is, I just am not that talented to accomplish the task, and I',m never embarrassed to admit it. I have an *idea* of where I would start coming from the S4 and call recording, but that entire MOD confused me, so like I said I don't want to change a value and boom there goes ur speakers lol
my notifications come in VERY loud compared to my s3/s4.. I have it set to less than half, FWIW

I think someone would need to use custom rom or custom hacks to do this. Definitely would have to be rooted to fix this. Something like the Viper rom with the extra tweaks it has might accomplish this. I know...this is not avail yet.
It is just a built in protection I bet. It thinks you have headphones on and some of the notifications can be pretty loud.

i guess that could be part of it, for ear protection . probably not to many people running a set of speakers all day for music .
And andy i meant no disrespect at all . sorry your phone got passed up and you were without it so long . i can flash a rom and maybe a little more .thats the limit of my romming abilities . i have no clue how much you know ,but im sure its more than me . so all i can do is ask . loving the rom cant wait for the next update . thanks again

wow, in how many different threads are you going to go off topic and bring this up? You don't want to be bashed for it, stop posting about it.
Where'd your thread go about buying a java card? You make stuff disappear better than houdini.
To the OP, I have noticed this as well. I'm guessing this will definitely require root at least. Maybe devs can incorporate a fix into ROMs.
Those in the know swear an exploit is coming, and that should help things. Personally, I'm sending my phone to colorado. The guy has been 100% perfect on getting the phones s-offed and returned. I think the longest total time has been 10 days.
cool thanks for your input .

Are there any updates on an unlock method for 3.11.605.1? I'm having a pretty serious problem with streaming Internet Radio apps cutting out with the screen off after about 5 minutes. The app Data Connection Fix has helped out a lot, but I wanted to try out other ROMs to see if I can find 1 without this issue. It's such a shame that I'm having this issue because the HTC One seems like such a great phone. Unfortunately, streaming Internet Radio at work is the main thing that I use my phone for and my older Droid X2 on 3g outperforms this phone in that aspect. It's so sad a newer 4g device has this issue and makes me wonder if I should ever mess with another HTC device or Android device period. I wanted to get away from iOS, but I'm finding that almost every Android device I've been using needs to be unlocked/rooted to fix really simple features that should work right out of the box and with every update. The Bluetooth A2DP quality problem with most JellyBean devices has been a nightmare. That's what made me ditch my LG G2. I tried just about every custom ROM and music through bluetooth was horrible no matter what I tried, even on the newer KitKat ROMs.

I'm pretty sure there's just a setting you're missing that keeps the radio from cutting out. I used to stream Sirius XM and had the problem but I remember getting it fixed somehow. If I think of it I'll let you know. And no, you can't gain s-off on 4.4.2. If you read at all on here, you'll know when you can.

Could you please tell me what setting? I get great service where I work and haven't had a problem with any other phone. I even went to Verizon and got a new SIM card. I've tried everything, starting with factory resets and clearing the cache. I have sleep mode off, app data sync on, mobile data is not restricted or limited, I've tried with and without beats audio enabled. The audio cuts out about every 5 minutes for 5-10 seconds and comes back on, just to cut out again for 5-10 seconds every 5 or so minutes. It's very annoying. The only thing that really helps is the data connection fix app, but that's not 100% reliable. I even called HTC and Verizon about the issue and they are looking into it. I would have normally just tried a different ROM, but I'm unable to unlock/s-off/root my phone because I'm on 4.4.2(3.11.605.1). That's the only reason I even called them. I currently have my phone up for sale and I'm seriously thinking about switching my service to sprint. I'm tired of paying top dollar for used phones to keep my unlimited data on Verizon. For all I know, there could be a problem with the phone, but it seems like a software issue to me. Everything else works and runs great. It's just that streaming Internet Radio is the thing I use most.
Have you tried this?

Yes I've tried. It has nothing to do with beats audio. For some reason it just drops the data connection for like 5-10 seconds with the screen off every 5 minutes or so. I don't know if it's incompatible apps with 4.4.2 or 4.4.2 itself. It could also have something to do with the HTC sense software. It could just be the way this phone communicates with the Verizon towers. I have no idea and it's very frustrating. The last time I had a problem similar to this was when I had an LG Optimus V on Virgin Mobile and it would lose 3g and I would have to turn off the data connection and turn it back on. This is different, though, because I have 4G LTE all the time. There just seems to be a delay in receiving my data to where the Internet Radio cuts out before it signals for more data. Then by the time I receive more data, it's too late and the sound has already cut out. I did a speed test and I'm getting about 30mbps download and around 15mbps upload so I know I'm not being throttled. The only thing that helps is the data connection fix app.

I did some more testing and I don't have any issues on WiFi and I don't have any issues if the screen stays on. It's only on cellular data with the screen off when I'm having issues. I noticed the Power Saving feature was removed in 4.4.2 and instead there's a sleep mode option. I have the sleep mode option off, but I'm thinking my issue might be because of a power saving bug in the HTC software for 4.4.2. If anybody knows anything about this, please post. Thanks
Think it will ever be unlocked?
I would SO much love to have airplay enabled on my HTC One. I came from iPhone, and have a full home surround sound based on Airplay, which I now can't use. Airplay is available only through a root application, although i have my phone on 4.4.2. Any thoughts on if and when this will ever be unlocked? Otherwise it's a huge reason for me to not have this phone...

Well it took beaups and crew about 1 month + to get 4.3 unlocked. Plus it seems more devs are having issues with 4.4.2 so it could be longer. At this point hope for the best and expect the worse.
I seriously don't know why all of these companies continue to try and lock out everyone's phones (and spend unnecessary money doing so) when someone will just outwit them almost every time. If a dev REALLY wanted this done right away it would be done! Point blank... It's a cat n mouse game and Verizon will lose. I just purchased an HTC One on 4.4.2 and have full faith that it will be cracked wide open anytime now. No one can stop somebody that is determined and smarter than the person who created the bottleneck. Here's hoping to a quick S-off method soon :victory:

It's not unnecessary money to them honestly. In Samsung's case they are trying to prove that their devices are secure enough to use for government agencies. Do you think they care that a few rogue hackers find exploits from time to time? No, they just need to convince some corporate goon that his e-mails to his mistress won't get intercepted. Speaking of the S4, it's been locked down now for about 8 months so I'd say they're getting pretty damn good at it. They have root I believe, but the bootloader is locked down tight on every S4 other than the very first firmware that came with the phone. I'm not sure what HTC's motivations are but I'm guessing they need to play ball with companies like Verizon in order to be able to sell their devices in the future.
Another thing that is hurting us is that Android itself is getting more secure. They are adding features that prevent exploits so it makes it harder for your average dev to find a way in. In the future we may be forced to buy developer editions to be able to do anything. That's worse case, but you never know.
Just like you I had "faith" that a developer would crack the S4 and I could finally have freedom. It never happened. It still hasn't happened. That's the main reason I switched to HTC. I'm not saying you should give up hope, but if you can't stand a phone to be locked down you should be looking into buying a different phone just in case...

Valid points! That's why I said "almost every time"... I really just need root and I would be happy but I switch devices so much that I probably won't even have the One (my 3rd HTC One) by the time it gets exploited (if) it does. And I do understand that Google has to close a lot of security holes so that they don't look like they are such a terrible company by allowing all of these terrible "viruses" into our phones which I have never had any issues with. I do agree with you though that we will probably all be buying dev phones sooner than later. Thanks for the insight!
Just another reason to leave Verizon and go get a Nexus device.
Whats up xda family? Can someone please help me out ? I need the stock ATT HTC Desire EYE backup files. (I need original rom and recovery you backed up when you rooted your phone)I rooted my phone a whle ago and somehow lost my backup! I havent had any need 4 it untill now. I recently flashed a new recovery / rom through windroid and while flashing, my laptop died in the middle of the process. I managed to fix alot of stuff by flashing mm 6.0, (thanks to Tahir and Arun.Gunupud for the advise) but unfortunately that didnt replace all the necessary files, So im having major network issues now. I can only recieve calls in h + mode or lower. 4g and Lte go straight to vm. Big shout out goes to Tahir , Arun.Gunupud and all the other senior members and dev who took the time to help me out! Will be sending out some donations as soon as i get this thing up and running 100%. To all my fellow noobs out there. If someone helps you out, show some love! say thanks, shoot em a donation. Even if its a couple bucks! buy em a beer, idk.. js One hand washes the other! Thank in advanded for any help! One love!
Not sure if you have seen my other replies to you in the other thread. Your call issues have nothing to do with missing files. All the most if not all of the desire eye roms are built on international firmware, since there is no official AT&T MM firmware. This international rom set up does not support high definition voice, which is why when your device is set on 4g and above you don't receive any incoming calls. You can make calls out, and text in and out with no issue. Only way around this is to have carrier turn off the high definition feature or lock the phone in settings to 2g/3g and keep it off of 4g, which will help with the calls but you won't have the higher speed data otherwise.

Link above is an AT&T backup I did for a developer nearly 2 years ago. Not sure if it was TWRP 3.0.0 or 3.0.2.
Edit it was probably TWRP 2.8.4.0
Yes I did see where you replied. Thank you. I guess my rational thinking just could not comprehend why a phone that was designed to take incoming calls on all available networks is suddenly unable to take incoming calls after a flash. Especially if it's designed to be used internationally. It just made me feel as if something is not right. Not doubting your knowledge at all its just how I am. Constantly trying to figure things out especially when they don't do as designed. So your telling me that because I switched roms I sacrificed my 4g LTE speeds? If so that sucks, lol . Do the ends justify the means? I've rooted many phones and devices back in the days and the only compromise we had was on cameras and NFC. Maybe we should put that in the disclaimer with the not responsible for bricking lines. Oh well live and learn. But I did figure out exactly what you said last night while playing around with settings. I put it in 2g/3g auto and I can receive calls all the time. Doesn't really bother me much, but it's like having a car that is designed to do 150 but can only go 35. But it's all in fun. It's only a stupid phone... haha But thanks for all your help bro. You guys are great! I'm off to flash some more roms.

If you contact AT&T and disable the the high definition feature you can put your eye back on 4g for the data speeds. The international Roms are only 4g not 4g LTE. Your phones high definition feature is built on the LTE. I turned the feature off and had no other issues. If you want full featured rom with NFC and everything else working I can point you to two that have it all. Disclaimer keep the high definition feature disabled or call issues could return. A simple phone call will give you your high speed data back. ### the eye is the only device I ran across with the issue, it was also the first I had that had that feature. My HTC 10 doesn't have the issue because the US unlocked gets updated prior to rest of world. I've moved away from buying from carriers.
Hope you get everything figured out. Enjoy your day

Thanks for that, I'm going to contact my carrier and have them turn off the HD as you suggested. I'll keep that just in case I may need it one day , never know. But thanks a milli, Appreciate that. I'll report back as soon as I talk to ATT.

You're welcome, however if you do want to go back to the factory AT&T lollipop, let me know, or look for my username above in Android file host, will upload a copy for TWRP 3.0.2.0. Just hang onto the recovery image you already have for 3.0.2.0
Have a good day

So i just called att and had them turn off HD. I was told to reboot then i should be ok. so i rebooted and went back to change settings to 2g/3g/4g auto. I tried to place a call to myself and it went straight to vm. Signal had 3 bars & in h + mode. Then placed another call when I had full 4g and still went to vm. Is there anything else that needs to be done to turn off hd? So I switched back to to 2g 3g auto and calls go through fine. Honestly its not really that big of a deal to me. I cant tell the diffrence between 3g & 4g. Hey as long as it rings when im called and im not like "can you hear me now, Can you hear me now." im good! lol No way am i ever going to go back to stock. Stock is for punks!!! hahah
Thats no fun!

my only suggestion is change settings back to your original 4g setting and turn phone off for 10 minutes and see if that fixes it.

Thank you for your offer but it's not necessary. I do this for fun, enjoy tinkering lol. With everything I've done and tried on my Eye I'm surprised I didn't kill it lol. I finally have my 10 to the point that I want it. Tried all the sense Roms and am currently running stock rooted with Magisk, which allowed me to install Dolby atmos and viper4android sound mods. Pretty impressed with it, great device.
If you need anymore help feel free to contact me

hey man your top gun in my book! Im the same way I love to tinker! Im actually proud of myself for not bricking it yet! i was going to go with the m10 but opted for the desire eye only because I kayak and the eye is water resistant. its kind of fun to throw it in the water and not freak out! but im seriously thinking of getting the 10 so i have more options and keep the eye for when i go to the water. Thanks again Buddy and b- safe. and best of luck with all you do!
