sound interruption during call

Hello,
i have a realy wierd problem...
i always have sound interruptions during a call, sound and mic seems to be muted untill i shake the phone a bit or takeing it away from my ear. I still coudn't figure it out when it happens cuz sometimes i realy dont move but it just interrupts and i cant hear anything, it also does NOT change to the loud speaker, totaly silent.
Its a unbrand HTC with default settings and just a few regular apps.
Maybe somebody have/had the same probelm and can help me.

no idea around? maybe its a hardware issue and have to get an other tp2?

I have the same problem
Hi,
I have the same problem.
I fist had this issue with my Touch HD, then with my Touch Diamond2 and now with my Touch Pro2!!
It is so annoying.
First I thought it is because of TomTom7.
Then I thought that it was because of a metal plate that I put between the back cover and the battery of each of the devices for a magnetic car mount.
After I removed those, the problem dissapeared...for a while.
Now, after 2 weeks or so the problem is here again
I am back to my original thought: Maybe TomTom messes with something!
Do you have it installed?
This is really annoying. I hope someone will find the solution someday

Does your Galaxy Nexus make a clicking noise even on vibrate!?

So every single time I press a key that would normally make a sound, even if my phone is on vibrate, my Nexus makes a very faint "click" from the speaker. Under normal circumstances this is not really a big deal but when in a quiet room, it becomes REALLY annoying. I didn't even notice this issue until I was sitting in bed one morning reading my email and noticed the noise.
Before you say your device doesn't have this issue, try putting your phone on vibrate mode and then opening an app. As soon as you click the icon to open it, put the phone's speaker up to your ear and wait about 2 full seconds and see if you hear a little "click." Is this a widespread issue or something that is only affecting my device? Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue and can be fixed with a software update.

go to settings > sounds > uncheck touch sounds.

I experience this issue too, but only from time to time. I think it has something to with the media volume, but I haven't been able to narrow it down to that. It also clicks when I quickreboot.

I tried this and it only fixed the issue for noises that would be made from the touch sounds. I still have the issue with all other button presses that would normally result in a sound (if it weren't on vibrate). This is clearly a bug but the question is whether it's hardware or software related!?

If I have to put the speaker up to my ear while opening a app to hear it...it doesn't seem like a legitimate problem because thats abnornal use.
However, I've never noticed any weird noises from my speaker and I've had my phone since November.

As I said, I didn't notice it either until I was in a very quiet room. Now that I know it's there I definitely notice it way more often and I don't have to put the phone near my ear to hear it.

try installing franco's kernel. It doesn't happen on his kernel.

I'm surprised there aren't more people complaining about this. I found this bug listed on the Android website but there hasn't been much discussion about it on XDA at all. To me, it's a really annoying buy that needs to be addressed and it seems like it's affecting most, if not all, Galaxy Nexus's.

Nexus 5X call and speaker quality.

Hi Nexus owners ,
1. What is the call quality of this phone ( volume, quality, what say other side ? )
2. how it looks with the quality of external speaker (It is really that bad ? )
Thanks.

I found the call quality (my side) pretty good - clearer than a UK landline and better than the Nexus 5. On the other side though, they stated it sounded like I was in a fish bowl. (was in the kitchen at the time with an extractor fan on so could have been any noise cancellation struggling)
Speakers are ok - bit louder than the old 5 but there's some distortion at full volume. Fine a level or 2 below full though

thanks for fast reply.
It worries me a little. You could make one more call from a normal environment and give me a feedback ?

If someone hasn't done it before this evening, I'll sort that for you (just hard to find someone to call during the day you can ask how you sound!!)

I'd say the speaker quality is pretty awful. Sounds like the speaker has blown and I'm in the process of arranging a replacement. I then tried this with a friends 5X which just arrived and it's the same. I'm hoping there's a bad batch.

I received my 5X yesterday. Tested yesterday and today and the call quality is very poor on mine and sounds really tinny. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yep I have the same issue. My replacement 5x should be here tomorrow!

People should also state what carrier they're on while they're at it.

I'm in the UK on the Three network.
Just spoken with Google support and they said I need to do this before they will think about sending out a replacement

If you are having any audio, speaker, or microphone issues with your device, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Update to the latest version of Android OS.
Go to "Settings" > scroll down to "System" > touch About phone (or tablet) > touch System updates.
If your device is modified or rooted, revert your device to original factory image since troubleshooting steps may not work on modified/rooted devices. You can use our Nexus factory images to re-image your device.
Step 2: Remove obstructions.
Remove any cling film, stickers, covers/cases/bumpers, or anything else that can be obstructing the device.
Step 3: Enable safe mode on your device.
Ensure your device's screen is on, then press & hold the Power button.
Touch and hold the Power off option in the dialog box.
Touch OK in the following dialog to start safe mode.
To exit safe mode, turn your device off and on again.
If you discover that the issue doesn't occur while your device is in safe mode, it's likely that a third-party app or Android OS modification is causing the issue. You can start to use and narrow down your installed apps to try to pinpoint the specific app. When the culprit is identified, you can uninstall the app or contact the developer of the app for further support as follows:
Navigate to play.google.com.
Find the app and click on it to view its main page.
Scroll down to the "Additional Information" section. Here, you'll see "Contact Developer" options.
Step 4: While in safe mode, turn off Bluetooth.
Go to "Settings" > under "Wireless & Networks", touch Bluetooth.
In Bluetooth settings, if Bluetooth is on, touch the slider to switch Bluetooth off.
Step 5: While in safe mode, make sure the volume is on.
Go to "Settings" > under "Device", touch Sound > touch Volumes.
In Volume settings, slide all three indicators all the way to the right to make sure all sound is on and at max volume.
Note: When each slider is adjusted, a sound will be heard.
Step 6: Check if the issue is resolved.
Play with the volume levels to hear sound.
Make a test phone call.
Use Google Now to test your microphone.
If your issue isn't resolved, continue to the next step.
Step 7: Reset your device to factory settings.
If you're still unable to resolve the issue, or if the issue is so severe that you can't boot your device into safe mode, resetting your device to factory settings may help. Resetting your device to factory settings will erase all local data on your device. Backup of your personal local data (pictures, music and video files) is recommended.

If your issue has been resolved, great! Let us know.
If your issue was *not* resolved and your device still experiences audio issues, call us or reply to this email and reference that you already went through our Audio troubleshooting steps which included resetting your device to factory settings.

I've made 3 phone calls and was told I sound loud and clear, I also had no issues hearing the other party.
Speaker quality is similar to the Nexus 5 but does get 2 steps louder. It could be described as harsh and lacking bass, a typical mobile speaker.

Just got mine today, I have to say I am unimpressed by the call quality by far. I am coming from a S4 and the call quality here is tinny, kind of like a blow speaker with higher pitches (not shrieking but women voices), I have another coming soon (blue) and will hope that phone has better call quality. If not then this phone has a hardware problem whether it's intentional or not.

I haven't spent that much time talking on the phone yet but what I have done sounded good on my end. I didn't ask people on the other end how I sounded but if it was bad it wasn't bad enough where they couldn't understand me. The speaker, which I don't use all that much anyways, sounds about as good as I'd expect. It is a little louder and sounds a little better than the speaker on the Nexus 5. Having it on the front does make things a little bit easier to hear but since I don't use the speaker on the phone that much anyways I'd rather it was on the bottom or back so that the bottom bezel could be smaller to help with one handed use.

Hi,
i bought a used "like new" unit from amazon a few weeks ago. During the first calls i noticed a horrible call/speaker quality. Theres a high pitch noise everytime the caller speaks. It hurts my ears. I know it sounds stupid, but its a fact. Anyone has noticed a similar behaviour? I don't know whether the speaker is broken, or it's just poor hardware quality.

Try blowing air at the speakers. If that still doesn't work then return/exchange it. That's not normal. Only problem you should have with the speaker is low volume.

Very surprised to see messages about bad call quality. The call quality in my nexus 5x is excellent. Never heard any phone sound so real as if the calling person is in front of me. I rarely use the speaker phone though. I don't know how my voice sounds at the other end but never received any negative feedbacks on that front.

I just picked one up yesterday and so far the few calls I have made today have resulted in the other party saying I keep cutting out or they can't hear me speaking at all. Anyone else have this issue?

Pixel XL - No sound from speakers

Alright guys, I've got a problem I haven't quite dealt with before:
I've got no sound coming from my "external" phone speakers. The in-ear speaker works fine, and so does the mic. That means I can take phone calls just fine. Listening to Whatsapp voice messages is a challenge because Whatsapp uses the speakers which means the message plays with no sound, that is until I hold the phone to my face and the prox switch tells the app to play through the ear speaker. No YouTube videos or Snapchat sounds.
I looked around the forums and such but didn't find anything. I've checked all the system settings I know to check, but nothing I can find is "muting" the sound. My apps list is fairly standard. Stock rom and kernel, unlocked since day 1 but without even a recovery installed. Basically a factory phone.
What are you guys thinking? I'm happy to try basically anything. Even thinking of slapping a ROM into this beast to see what happens, although I doubt there's too much development going on for a 2yo phone...
Cheers!

Update:
I've got intermittent sound. I haven't opened the phone and have no reason to think water ingress could be the problem, but I can't think of a reason that the speakers would work intermittently. Sounds more like a hardware problem than a software problem to me. Anyone else?

It also happened to me except I didn't have any sound coming from both speaker and the earpiece. Not sure what happened though.

Well it only has one speaker. As for the others most likely hardware related.

Weirdly, I'm stuck in unreliable-sound limbo. I get sound most of the time, but speaker sound disappears occasionally with no predictability that I've found. Interestingly, If I mash or smack the bottom of the phone phone screen by the speakers, sometimes sound will come back on briefly or entirely. Weird, huh? Not sure what could be causing a connection problem. Maybe I'll open up the phone eventually and find out.

Note 10+ weird screen clicking sound

I'm on official BSL7 ROM Android 10, only root with Dr. Ketan guide (thank you very much!), but no mods or other modifications. When I press back soft key or other parts of the screen, there comes a strange clicking noise from speakers, I know for sure the sound comes from speakers, I keep press and hear the clicks from speakers. I have disabled touch sounds and searched on Google for noises like this, there is some guy with S10 I think with similar problem and he also does not know what is it. Also, the sound is random, pure random, sometimes I heard it, sometimes not. It's annoying and it's not camera repositioning lens, because I am not using the camera at that time, even in games I can hear this annoying clicking sound.
What could it be? Are there any others with problem like this? It is software problem? I have reseted the phone, still there, but it triggers only when screen is touched. I have inspected the phone, it is not a gap between screen and glass, also I had it with original plastic screen protector from Samsung which comes from factory. Tried to listen to music, the speakers are fine, not damaged. Only when I click the screen and purely random, so it's not a mechanical issue, the screen is not damaged.
