I wonder if anyone can help with this.
Some mornings, normally Saturday and Sunday, when I read back over my text messages they don't make any sense. Most words are spelt wrong and frequently punctuation is missing. Also, the subject matter is normally very boring and involves topics such as late busses or kebabs.
Looking through my messages this phenomenon seems to start at around 5:30pm on Fridays and slightly earlier on Saturdasy but doesn't really happen any other day in the week!
I've also noticed when reading back over these messages I normally have a headache and a sense of nausea too.
Any clues? Should I log a call with HTC?
I get this. Sometimes I receive strange messages from female friends or colleagues such as "no" and "you're disgusting".
I also find my phone develops strange exterior damage - scratches and scuffs. Like the person who has been using it was clumsy and uncoordinated.
The 1 reason why I never save any messages - don't have to read through my drunken mistakes!!
I normally just roll over in bed to see my drunken mistakes.
Oh dear.
Ah, Wolverine syndrome. Where you'd rather chew your own arm off than wake her up!
My phone seems to get warm very fast. After just 20 minutes on the phone the upper right portion of the phone is very warm. I know using your phone a lot can make it warm but 20 minutes seems like a very short time for it to be happening. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Yes mine is too

Warm
My very first S2 did this. I took it in to a Sprint Store. They did some tests on it. Next thing I knew they were ordering me a replacement. I would give it a try.
umm, seems about normal to me. when you do intensive things it creates heat from the electronics inside...and its a very slim phone so its more pronounced. my phone gets warm during calls and gaming etc...but thats what happens to computers during use
Mine does this as well but doesn't even take that long of a phone call to get so hot I can't hold the phone up to my ear anymore. I understand playing a game or browsing the internet but a phone call?

Take this with a grain of salt, but the "tech" at Sprint told me this was a known problem with the first batches of phones. He gave me a brand new phone and I haven't had the problem since.
The last phone I had basically killed itself from overheating, the LCD started flickering, then the phone turned into a paperweight. It wasn't rooted, overclocked, or abused.
Sorry but every cell phone I have owned has gotten hot after 20 minutes of use. I had one old analog phone that would get really hot right at the cheek, great way to tell when you have spoken too long. I rarely talk over 10 minutes, if I do it's a conference call for work. I guess I'm just anti social.
Hi guys,
I've had my G-Nex for a few days, and mostly love it - but on two occasions now, the touchscreen has acted up. I'd put the phone down, and for a few minutes, it'd randomly select things on the screen with me nowhere near ( the other day it kept opening the People app). But a minute later, it'll be fine. Touch inputs are flawless when I'm actually using the phone. It's totally random.
Anyone else with such an issue?

I never had any problem like that. It's just a thought but do you put your phone where there might be magnetic interference nearby, like another electronic device? I'm not sure if this can happen with phones but some types of touch input can go crazy because of that.

If you are telling me next that it only happens while 2G is being used..
I had the same thought, but both times the phone was on WiFi, in my house. I've not once had the volume problem, and am also on Orange (1800mhz)...which, so far, seems unaffected by the volume ghost.

I don't want people to think that i am a general moaner, but it did happen to me the first day i got it whilst i was viewing cached apps is the settings menu. Its like your finger is still on the screen. I haven't experienced it since though.
Something like this happened to me with the Nook Color. As far as I know, it's not a known issue for that device so I'm guessing there was some interference I was not aware of. UFO's maybe.
My Palm Pre+ is doing this constantly. I will be pretty upset if I get the Galaxy Nexus and it does the same.
Trying to get my LTE-Nexus close to the awesome battery life my Sprint Galaxy SII had, which was like 18-20 hours heavy use with 5 hours display time, tons of phone calls, dozens of texts, hours of videos/movies, and like 72 hours WiFi light weekend use. My Nexus is lucky to do half that. I get about 7 - 9 hours on a busy weekday of phone use, doing sales. This is with stock battery, I have the extended, but that's another issue, for the extra 45min I might get out of it.
Anyways, I installed Juice Defender this week, and yes it sure did help battery life BIG time, but at a major cost, it basically shuts the phone down. I tried the basic settings for day, advanced settings for a day, custom settings for a day, and pretty much all were a bit glitchy.
I would miss some phone calls, voicemails come in an hour late, a few Force Closes I never got before on my Nexus, opening from the lock screen pausing or freezing sometimes. Restarting the phone never actually shutting down, just hangs. I have never had any issues like these whatsoever before installing Juice Defender.
You should NEVER miss calls from juice defender.. I suspect something else at play there unless it was putting you in airplane mode =/

Was in the shower earlier, heard the phone ring, looked at it on counter, the lock screen was there, but not showing the incoming call, and the ring was missing like half the audio, like a half ring, or every other ring. Very strange. Been on this same ROM for a couple weeks, NEVER had anything like that happen before. Having these strange issues ever since I installed JD a few days ago.

Very strange indeed.. the reason I said you shouldn't miss calls is because JD should never mess with the lower level of signal Verizon puts through (1x), only EVDO or LTE. It could very well be JD then, no idea.
I tried JD on my EVO 4G back in the day. Recall similar issues, with delayed voice mails and data just being strange. Yes it helped the EVO battery life for sure, but made the phone very glitch and not worth issues.

Delayed voicemails I can *maybe* understand, but you should never miss calls.. I'm not saying you're wrong, I've just never experienced it nor does it make sense to me
I did get calls this week. But today was weird with that half ring sound, sounded like battery dying. But it was full.
And phone just seemed a little extra laggy after installing JD couple days ago.

Has anyone been on a phone call with their 5x, reclining or lying down for a minute, when the other person complained that your voice suddenly cut out, became muffled, and/or sounds "robotic"?
This is easily reproducible on two new 5x's I bought a month apart. In fact, it's so easy to reproduce that I'm surprised that I haven't (yet) found a thread here on XDA about it. I guess since so few people use their phones to actually talk anymore, and since it only happens when reclining, people probably just chalk it up to bad reception and forget about it.
But there's a thread on the Google support forums and one reddit comment from more than a year ago about it, suggesting to me that this has been happening since the 5x was released. That's not reassuring me about the chances of this being fixed, which is frustrating since the call quality switches from great to terrible entirely based on posture, so it ought to be fixable in software, right? The Google forum thread describes a workaround of disabling the "fluence" noise cancellation entirely, which is not ideal.
(I can't include links to the threads since this is my first post.)

I’m having similar issues, although I never tested whether it might have anything to do with how I’m holding my phone. For me, it’s mostly when I’m having phone calls in my room that people complain to me I that I'd sound like I’m underwater, or standing a million miles away from my phone. Never had anyone tell me those things when I'm talking on the phone outside.
First thought it would be a network issue, but recently had a few Skype calls where the same thing happened.
Just out of curiosity, does your phone’s compass lose its calibration quite often as well?
Google Maps asks me to calibrate the orientation of the phone pretty regularly. A friend of mine with a 5x said that his orientation is always off by a certain amount.
Still, I think the phone can probably be in nearly any orientation while held against someone's ear, so it shouldn't be trusting that to switch into this cancel-almost-everything noise cancellation mode. I'm not sure that there is any use case that is well-served by the way the microphones behave in this mode.
Please try making a voice call and recline for about a minute, and see if the problem repeats itself! You can send feedback about the device in the Settings -> About section.

Yeah, true. That's why I thought it would be a hardware issue and considered sending it in for repair.
I'll let you know about how my phone behaves when I lean back when I get the chance to do that during a voice call.
EDIT: Sorry, started Googleing around only now. I came across the reddit-thread you mentioned, plus a couple other articles that mention poor call quality with Nexus 6P and 5X devices. All of them suspect it's a software issue, but it looks like it's been around since at least late 2015.

I just ran a test. My problem, as silly as it sounds, has apparently been that I don't usually let my phone touch my cheek when making voice calls. I hold the speaker against my ear, but then point the rest of my phone away from my face. When I press the phone against my cheek, everything works as it should. Figured it out by calling my Nexus via Skype.

I've seen other people report that, and my 5x's also drastically muffle my voice the instant they're not touching my face, but they both ALSO do that after leaning back for a few moments, regardless of how firmly the phone is pressed to my face. Does yours not do that?

Tested it again and I'm sorry, but noise cancellation doesn't go rampant on mine when I lean back. It's all been as it should.

Which Android version are you on? Also, did you try lying down, or just leaning back a little? I thought the problem must be widespread because it's been happening on two different phones I ordered a month apart.
