Is anyone else experiencing a delay when both placing calls, but even more noticeably, and more annoyingly, when answering calls, in speakerphone availability? What I mean is a call will come in, I will answer it, but the speakerphone button will remain grayed out for a few seconds, so I can not activate the speakerphone to say "hello." If my intention is to take the call on speakerphone, I must either say "hello" before I can activate the speakerphone, and risk the other person beginning to speak before I will be able to hear them if I have not put the phone to my ear, or I must delay saying "hello", which causes the person calling to hear the line open up, but wonder why I am not speaking.
I really can't imagine that I am the only one experiencing this and finding it incredibly annoying.
I actually contacted HTC, but have not heard anything back.
Can anyone else confirm this behavior?
I am using an unrooted Verizon HTC 10, but I doubt the carrier matters.
Thanks.
I see this thread had had, as of the time I'm posting this follow-up, 64 views, but not a single response.
If no one else is experiencing this, could some of you at least post to say that? If you can answer an incoming call, and instantly press the speakerphone button and say "hello" on speakerphone, with no delay, then I'd be interested in hearing that, particularly if you are using a stock Verizon HTC 10. Because that would seem to indicate there is an issue with my phone, or the software on my phone, since I can't do that.
I'm still operating under the theory, though, that the issue lies with the software, and that I am not alone.
Thanks.
Did I omit the secret handshake or something?
Seriously...is there a reason no one is responding, one way or the other?

During phone calls I hear semi-loud clicking sounds, doesn't matter if call received or sent, as well as different numbers.
This is very frustrating. The clicks occur at random times, with no set pattern, and varies in number.
Running WM6 standard. Phone is only a couple months old. Thanks for any help.
Its a network issue, I am getting it too on two different phones. There was a thread about this a few weeks back.
I read that thread and do not think it's the same problem. I wouldn't describe my issue as a crackling sound, or the other person breaking up, or staticky.
It is more of a sudden click.
It also does not matter whether I increase/decrease the volume or not, as the other thread mentions.
As far as it being a network issue, I never had this problem with previous phones--the latest being 2 months ago.
are you in the chicago area?
No, plus people I know in my area who use Tmo don't have this problem.
It sounds as though my phone is being tapped!!

you sure its not that stupid jogger thing turning up and down the volume..
if you have the in call sounds cranked up, it clicks.
I'm fairly certain it is not.. Because I would hear them with different volume levels, as well as speakerphone.
Is it possible it's a hardware or firmware issue? For instance, maybe the phone is defective and I just need to get a new one. It was never dropped or anything to cause damage.
As far as software, I have Vito Audio Notes and 2 way recording installed, but I hear the clicks even when I don't record anything or have the program running. Is it possible that the software may have interfered with the audio of the phone??
I ordered a Galaxy Nexus from Clove, and oddly enough I have not experienced the volume bug issue as of yet.
I am however having some issues with weird static / hissin / crackling noises being emitted from the speaker when I make or receive calls.
I can make 5-6 calls in a row without the issue occuring, then suddenly while dialing the same number for the seventh time (voice mail to not drive friends nuts ) the noises will commence immediately.
If I put the call on loud-speaker, the noises disappear instantly, and reappear when I turn off the loud-speaker. As soon as I end the call, the noises stop as well.
Also sometimes immediately after a call, the static / hissing noises will commence for 2-3 seconds, then stop.
Have anyone experienced anything similar? My guess is faulty hardware and that I have to return my phone? :/
I seem to get a quick static "pop" immediately as a call is being connected.
Not an OMG SHOWSTOPPER but kind of annoying. Perhaps it will be fixed in a future update.
I have a pop sound. What network are you on? I bought from Clove too and very much have Ghost SAV. I use Orange no problem but GiffGaff which uses O2 is affected. 900 GSM 2G is the issue and orange does not use it AFAIK.
The Pop occurs when I tap the screen. It is very faint. Then if I do nothing then after 5 seconds it pops again. If I pinch rather than tap then it doesn't do it.
The Pop is from the rear big speaker, not the ear peice

And your in the USA didn't think it would affect us, Where did you buy from ?
This is more than a "soft pop". The static/hissing noises I am experiencing are loud enough to make it impossible to hear what the recipient of the call is saying. Only solution is to hang up and re-dial.
Only happens every once in a while, but definitely a "showstopper" in regards to rendering the phone useless for like 20% of the calls

Have you worked out why this is happening?
I've had this problem with my GN too from Clove.co.uk, using GiffGaff network in the UK. I can pretty much replicate this problem every time I make a call - does the proximity sensor trigger the crackling noise? It does in my case.
I sent my phone back to Clove a few months ago, who sent it back to Samsung. They appeared not to do anything, flash the phone with their own version of firmware (removing my yakju build) and getting back to me 3 weeks later. I wasnt happy. In any case, I've put it back to yakju and the problem is still there. Love the phone, but dont need the hassle of being without a smart phone for a few weeks again. Urgh.
Anyone else had this?
EDIT: This seems to have been fixed in 4.0.4 (IMM76D)
I talk into the microphone normal, but I've had reports by people that during a phone call they can't hear me unless I scream.
The exact same thing happens when I use the Google voice-to-text thing on MSGs. I literally have to scream for it to pick up my voice.
I'm on Sprint, and I doubt it's a carrier problem because my iPhone never did this. Any ideas?
Hello? Does anyone have any suggestions?
We both have samsung galaxy s4 with t mobile, latest update. When Calling the other person, you can hear the receiving phone speaker. I'll hear their ringtone if they're volume is up. I'll hear whatever noise is in the room with their cell phone when calling. Even their voice. I've tested and it happens both ways. it's been going on for 6 months now. Just weird to have it happen to two phones. I've already done a factory reset. Any ideas?
So what's wrong, that's how phones work, you hear them and they hear you. ???
Pp.
that was dumb. why would I say I tested it. More detail for anyone else who thinks like pancho: it's like the mic is activated without answering the phone. Imagine calling someone and they don't answer, but you can hear everything the mic picks up. you'll hear their custom ringtone or whatever sound is near their phone mic.
This is how the question should have gone. :
When I place a call, before the person answers the phone I can hear the phones ringer tone and all ambient sounds near and around the phone or person I'm calling before they answer, what could cause this?
Humm, ............... your phone is possessed. You need an exorcist.
Edit : This may also occur if the person your calling is sitting next to you.
Pp.
I make many calls everyday but people said they can't hear me if I don't speak in front of the mic(bottom of the phone). They can't hear me clearly if I hold my phone in normal way like I hold the other phone.
Anyone using fire phone has the same issue?
thank you very much.
Same here! Any solutions?
