Does anyone else's volume go up and down in a call? And no, I'm not hitting the volume button at all...lol
Yes, mine does this. It's annoying. Still love my 3d.
Same here. Luckily, using the phone for actual calls is the least thing I do.
Indeed.. drives me crazy

Same here. Every time I call someone the ring is half-quiet, half-loud. Like someone is flipping the switch of an amplifier on and off.
yup,same here,,Not sure what the problem is but I don't like it
put me down too, guess i originally thought it was some sort of noise cancellation amplification type of thing.
I've only noticed that while the other person's phone is ringing. Haven't had an issue during a conversation though.
Nice to know I'm not the only one I notice it most when the phone is ringing before the person I am calling answers...sometimes during the conversation itself. Not a huge deal, but a minor annoyance.

I've noticed on my S2 that during all calls if you listen for it or the person stops talking there is background noise like putting your ear to a sea shell not very loud but you definitely can hear it even when someone is speaking. People on the other side say they can't hear anything bad and that I'm coming through very clear.
Is this normal I don't have my old LG Rumor 2 to test with which was on the same network but I don't recall ever hearing anything like that then I would probably notice like I have now.
Is this normal with this phone if not what else could it be related too?
yes, it is normal as you may have the volume to high. You may get some background static.
Is it with every call, it could be because they're on a bad network

Yea it's on every call I called a pizza place where a machine answers and I still heard it, maybe its from high volume and I'm obsessing I don't know lol.
Guess it's better than an echo!
Does anybody know why there is a little sound when I call out? Just before the dialtone ringing, something to do with the phone settings?
Thanks
Ok, I swear I am not going crazy.
It seems like every phone call I have, I hear the other end hit their face w/ the phone to make the beep sound like they hit a number. There is no way every single person I talk to is doing this. I have checked my phone, and the proximity sensor works fine, and my keyboard isn't even pulled up....so it can't be me can it? I'm using viper rom.
Does every person I call have fat faces? I mean, I guess it could be that...but for EVERY phone call to have that sound is just kinda weird. Or...I could just be going crazy.
Deff going crazy or everyone just hitting the phone w their face

I only notice the proximity sensor act strangely (if at all). The screen shuts off immediately at the start of a call. Very annoying, especially when you want to hang up.
Very strange but today during a phone call it happened to me. I did manage to look at the phone and made sure the proximity sensor was working and it was, so i just blew it off and blamed the other person.

Are all the callers calling from iPhones? It's possible they are, and that means they could all have the same quirk with their phone when t connects to a call. Or maybe they do all slap themselves with it. Maybe they saw somebody do it on an Apple commercial so they all have to follow suit?

If you're just hearing it at the beginning of a call, it could be because your phone is connecting to a nearby airrave device. When it is connected, it will make three beeps at the beginning of a call. It could be that you're just hearing the last of these beeps... Or going crazy.

I have this issue as well, except I know what it is. Every single time I hear that sound its from an email, sms, or some other notification popping up during the call.

Yep. I think HTC just made a very poor choice of the notification during calls. Why would you choose an alert that sounds like a key press? And at least so far I have not found a setting to change or turn off this notification.

Are you using a Zagg HD screen protector. The early version of this screen protector covers the proximity sensor. I think if you call Zagg they will send you a replacement. I just cut a notch in the screen protector and it took care of the problem.
My girlfriend does this from her Droid X all the time. Hate the iPhone alert passthrough. so dumb!
I usually keep my phone an inch or two away from my face so its never a problem. It also avoids the screen getting all oily and smudgy. Also, my proximity sensor works as its supposed to, as I constantly check during calls just for fun of it. I am using Realook screen protector without any prox sensor cut offs.
I've been using a Note 2 demo unit for the past two days and have noticed that during a call, and the other person is talking, I can hear a "hiss/white nose" around the voice in the earpiece speaker. But when the person isn't talking, there is no hiss. I tried this with several calls (and also 1-800 recordings) and can hear it for every call. I'm not sure what the cause is, but it is quite distracting.
On the GS3 is does have a slight hiss, but it is hardly noticeable. The Droid DNA doesn't have any hiss during calls.
Since I wasn't sure if it could just be an issue just this Note 2, I stopped by a store on my way home today and tried the Note 2 that was on display. It has the same hiss/white noise that I'm getting on my unit.
Has anyone else noticed this on their phone?
I'm thinking it may have to do with the Note 2 using P_Rev 6 and the EVRC-B Vocoder. In my area, the regular EVRC sounds better than EVRC-B, but I don't see any way of changing it on the Note 2. I've changed between the P_Rev and Vocoders on other phones by doing ##PROGRAM, but that command doesn't work on the Note 2.

I had the same problem on my first Note 2. Took back to Verizon and replacement had the same issue. Was going to get a third one but the CSR tried it out and heard the same thing on the 3rd one so just returned it all together. Awesome phone otherwise but I make a lot of calls in a quite office, and with no other sounds it was really annoying.
Here is another thread with same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021447
Really hope it is just a bad batch. I'm going to give it a few weeks and try another one.
I have the same issue, for what it's worth. However, I'm lucky enough to almost never use my phone to make phone calls so I can live with it.

I've definitely noticed the hissing but honestly haven't noticed it since the first couple days of having the device. Going to pay attention the rest of the week and see if I still have it. I use speaker phone or etymotic ear buds with mic 95% of the time however

I just started noticing it with headphones. Light hiss behind notification sounds, stops just a moment after the sound. Hmph. Not sure how I feel about it. It's pretty distracting.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
I have it but don't mind it too much. Probably because it's better than the tinny distortion I had on the Thunderbolt! I've noticed the headphone jack must be better too. Much less hissing when listening to music with headphones...at least compared to the TB. I can't believe I had that TB for so long...so...painful...

Yeah man, same here. I pick it up every once in awhile now and just hold it in my hands and laugh. What a piece of garbage.
First and last HTC device. They're still making twitter posts saying they're still working on ICS for the Thunderbolt............. loooooool
Had a tb too. Held it today. . It's so bricklike in comparison! Not to mention the problems in function. Think I'm over the light hiss now. ..rarely have headphones in and not listening to music anyway so rarely have a chance v to notice it.

Does turning off noise reduction (menu during call) address this problem at all?
Just an update on my previous post. I made a couple somewhat long calls today and I did not hear the background noise on the other end the way I had in the early days of the phone. Either it is simply a sporadic issue or it has worked itself out somehow.

I don't think it's a noise reduction issue. With noise reduction on or off, Voicemail calls sounded perfect. No hiss or anything. And I am quite sure of what the hiss sounds like, so I know what to listen for.
I'm wondering if it's just a case of the person you're talking to having a crap phone that has outgoing issues. It doesn't do it when I call my brother on his Note 2, just some other people. Wierd.

I've also noticed who I call makes a difference in when I hear it, though I've heard it at least once with everyone who I've talked to... Some every time some only randomly... weird.
Definitely flippin annoying when you pay attention to it...

So in the past two weeks since I posted about this, I've tried calling a few people and tested it out, and I hear it on every call.
When the person on the other end is quiet, there is no hiss in the Note 2's earpiece speaker. But when the person talks, you can hear the hiss "surround" each word.
I've also tried it with the noise reduction feature on and off, and it doesn't make any difference.
Hi,
Does it happen when using bluetooth?
Thanks,

I hope it is software not hardware. Was thinking about getting a Note II but this flaw would render this phone unusable to me, I use my phone as a phone a lot.
So I decided to give Googlr voice another try just so I could get away from VZWs Visual Voicemail app. I used Voice for my voicemails before right after it first came out but it easnt up to snuff so I switched back to VZW and now that I am wanting to make the change to Google Voice I am having nothing but problems with the volume.
When I first used it I noticed the volume was extremely low on voicemail playback. I used my google-fu but was unable to find a fix for the issue. The volume is so low that I cant make out what is being said most of the time. I get absolutely no sound unless I put it on speakerphone and then I have to hold it up to my ear to even hear anything, and even then it is barely audible.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
I should probably note that all my volumes are maxed out, but no matter what I change them to it doesnt seem to affect the volume for better or worse.

Though I can't speak for google voice, you could always try youmail. It is a visual voice mail app that works pretty good. Though I dont use voice dictation, the paid version has it.

Had this problem when I first installed. Seems to happen when Media volume was set to max. Back it off one or two notches and it may work, it did for me.
I will give that a try tomorrow when I can get someone to leave me a message. Sorry I didnt reply sooner, we had a tornado come thru in Alabama. They said it was 70 MPH straight line winds but I actually saw the funnel cloud pass by my house and there was quite a bit of damage, a couple of 7 foot long 2x4's straight thru some chicken house walls and all kinds of other ****. Also I havent had power so I havent been able to chargw my phone....
Anyway, ill test it out and report back tomorrow afternoon, I just wish I could figure out why its acting so wonky. I really really like it niw but that volume issue is so bad that if I cant fix it I will have ti switch to something else.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
I may end up having to switch to that. I really enjoy Google Voice but its ridiculous when I cant even hear the voicemails.....
Thank you for the suggestion

I just went a borrowed my girlfriends phone to test it out. If I adjust the volume while listening to the message on speakerphone it works, the downside is that I like my volume all the way up and in order to hear the voicemail I have to turn the volume down to the halfway point to hear it.. I really dont understand that but at least I got it working! Thank you so much!

I noticed the other day that when the volume on my phone calls exceeds about 2 thirds up the callers voice gets fuzzy / slightly distorted like a radio turned up to loud. I'm hoping this isn't symptomatic of a blown speaker. Can someone else test this to tell me if this is normal? My other phone is a blackberry z10 and it does not display this symptom so I'm fairly certain it's not a network issue. To test call an automated number I.e. a bank or credit card and turn the volume up incrementally. Again this is not in speaker mode (or less / barely noticeable do to the fact the bottom speaker also turns on and drowns out the top speaker). Just need to know if this is normal or I should exchange for a new one prior to my 2 week exchange window to not receive a refurb. Thanks a lot,
Andrew

Turned it all the way up and called my work voicemail. No distortion at all. I'd check to make sure that you have a decent signal first. If so, swap it for a new one
Thanks for checking... It seemed to get a little worse today so I'm going to call tmo tomorrow and try and have a replacement shipped out because they have no stock left at my local tmobile.
