Anyone else have this issue or know of a potential fix. Other people frequently can't hear me when on a cell call and calls are sometimes dropped completely. I have network service during this time and can hear the other person just fine, and other phones have worked fine with the same service, so it seems like there's something up with the phone itself. I made sure the OK Google listening was disabled (some people reported that was causing their issue) and deleted the cache, but am still having the issue. Any other ideas?

This is driving me up the freakin wall. I've searched everywhere and haven't found anything to resolve the issue.
I usually use speaker phone when making calls, but recently began actually holding it up to my ear only to find that I keep getting beeps in the earpiece. It sounds like the beep when you place a call and it's ringing, but it keeps going during the call. What's worse, it continues even after hanging up. The only way I can get it to stop is by force closing the phone app and re-entering my SIM pincode.
I thought it was due to something I had installed and wiped my phone and reinstalled things one by one. Doing so I ruled out the applications I use. After testing on various roms (to see if it's rom related), I've realized that I can reliably replicate it by simply turning off wifi, forcing the data connection to go live on 3G and then making a call.
Anybody seen or heard of this before? The beeping is limited to the earpiece and can barely be heard when not held up to the ear, but when you do it's good and loud.

i doubt its anything to do with 3g as your desire will automatically disable any mobile data connection whilst in a call
Callers can't hear me when they're calling me.
I have test my S4 with my wife's phone, there's no sound comes out from her phone when she calls me sometime, but i can hear her voice, then i connect a headphone to the S4, which still no sound from her phone. Also tried to deactivate the noise cancelling and set to other sound type. This happens in both WIFI and regular call. But it does work 100% of the time if i make the call.
This is a clean factory S4 with newest firmware installed , never rooted or flashed.
Any one has the same problem?
thank you.
"there's no sound comes out from her phone when she calls me sometime, but i can hear her voice"
The above part confuses me.
But from what I understand, when your wife tries to call you, sometimes you hear her voice and sometimes you don't.
But when you make a phone call to your wife, you can Always hear her fine.
If the above is correct, does the problem happen when only you're wife calls you, or also when other people call you?
If the above doesn't not fix your issues, the answer may be:
- the mic on your wife's phone
You can have your wife call you from her speakerphone multiple times to see if the issue happens.
If the issue does not repeat, the problem is probably an issue with the mic on her phone.
If the issue does repeat, the mic is ok.
But let me know if the problem is only between your 2 phones and/or when calls are made to and received from other phones also.
If the hardware on your devices are fine by testing with trial and error, a Factory Reset may be an option.
Also, if you have insurance or just purchased the devices, maybe an exchange or trouble shoot with tech, etc.
But first you need to isolate the issue as per my comments above.
Trouble shooting may be tedious, but it will narrow down the possibilities of what the cause may be.
Which device
Hardware
Network, etc.
this happens to me too on wicked rom but i haven't noticed any patterns to cause it. which rom are you on?

I just noticed that you said you're on a stock rom. I think I may know the culprit. There is some user app that is interfering with the microphone due to bad programming. For example I believe in my case it is a live wallpaper that I use which is sensitive to sound. So it uses the mic. Sometimes when I try to use Google Voice typing or voice search I get an error message that says it could not open the mic. I also have instances where people cannot hear me on a phone call. I believe these are all related due to a bad behavior of an app using the mic. Try to figure out which app is using the mic and let us know

Thank you.
I am on the original rom from Tmobile, it seems only happen when someone calls me with AT&T. My problem is when someone calls me, i can't hear them, but they do hear from me, so i don't think the problem is related to my mic.
Here is my newer post about this issue.

I have had this issue through many different ROMS and it's been bothering me for awhile. It isn't at a certain point into a call its completely random but once it starts I only hear weird noises through my earpiece, however the person on the other end can still hear my voice. I'm able to say "hey its doing the alien noise thing again, i'll hang up and call right back". Once I hang up and call back its fine. Sometimes it will do it again, other times it doesn't. Does anybody else with a s3 have the same issure?
I'm not even sure where to go with the problem. I've tried different modems, ROMS, full wipe,clear cache, and nothing seems to help.
Nexus 5X, Stock 8.1.0 with security patch level 5 April 2018.
If I make or receive a call, the other party cannot hear me, my voice is severely muted and garbled. I've tested this by leaving messages on my home phone and all suffer from exactly this.
Now the microphone itself seems to be fine - WhatsApp voice messages are perfectly clear, I installed a voice recorder app to check and the recordings are good. Google voice searches also work fine.
I've done a factory reset. I've uninstalled updates to the Google Phone app. I've swapped SIMs. I've tried alternative dialers. I've turned on/off 2G /3G /4G. But my voice calls are always rubbish.
Anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on or suggestions as to what else to try?
Thanks!
Hi
I'm just visiting here with the same problem. I've been getting complaints about call quality from my end for a little while and it's driving me mad trying to be heard, often it starts off okay, then degrades rapidly after a few minutes, other times its from the start of the call. I've done the same as you, the mic tests fine in other apps, and sometimes it works okay. I did a complete factory reset which did seem to improve things but the problems returned, and no, I hadn't added any apps in between it working and going back to being terrible.
I've also tested calling my home answer phone and leaving a message to see what people are complaining about, and it is just constant drop outs. This happens over Wi-Fi calling, and over the network (EE network/UK), so it's not a reception problem. I've also used a plug in headphones with microphone and it's the same problem.
I really didn't want to buy another device at this time, but to me it's looking like a hardware problem.

Phil

Before I did the factory reset I had tried turning off noise reduction in the build.prop as recommended to try but it made no difference.
It sounds to listen too as though it's a faulty connection, and I'm thinking now this might be related to the reboot loops caused by connection problems, and this has the same cause, broken connections on the main chip. It's odd the sound is okay when recording sound or video, however that might simply be because the sound is being routed and processed elsewhere, and it's only when it's compressed for a call and routed via the Qualcomm modem that it's affected by a faulty connection. This would explain why sometimes for me it is okay, or starts of on a call okay then as the phone warms up the connection starts breaking.

Hi
I've now upgraded to a Pixel XL 2 as I needed to be able to be heard on calls and the 5X was out of warranty and LG didn't want to know. I really didn't want to upgrade quite so soon. The XL with the same SIM card on the same mobile network is all good and everyone can hear me, plus I have the benefit of VoLTE.
I believe the microphone problem is hardware related, most likely the same cause as the boot loop issues where the CPU or board has some broken solder connections. It sounds like a broken connection, and explains why it has progressively become worse. It's a pain as usually when I upgrade my phone gets handed over to another family member, but I can't do that with the broken 5X.

Phil
This is the oddest thing, and I've never seen in before. When someone tries to call add me to a call (making it a 3 way conference call), I'm either muted, or they can't connect at all. Anyone else seem to have this issue?
Yes I have the same issue, I was also getting dropped calls with Wifi calling enabled so I disabled that. I am on MetroPCS in the US and I think there is a bug tracker for this on the Google issues board.
