[Q] Call quality bad while laying down - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just picked up an AT&T Galaxy S II. Quite the upgrade from my ole Nexus One.
Anyways, this isn't an issue that's new.
Basically, when I'm laying down, and the phone isn't rightside up as it would be if you were sitting/standing upright holding it to your ear, the person on the other end has a very hard time hearing me.
For instance, last night I'm laying down watching TV and I get a phone call. I answer, HELLO? HELLO? HELLO? The can't hear me. They hang up and call back, same scenario except this time I sit up midways through the HELLO's and all of a sudden they can hear me.
Last time wasn't the first time this happened, just an example. It's been happening for the last year+. It's easy to duplicate these results.
Was wondering if this is a known issue and if there's anything that can be done about it. The mic isn't any further from my mouth than it would be when I'm sitting upright. I did some searching and found some people talking about this issue with the original Droid but nothing about why or how to resolve the issue.

Someone please answer this question! I am having the same exact problem on my tmobile samsung galaxy s 2

Voice call problems

Anyone else having people you call tell you they can't hear you in the middle of conversations? I can't find any correlation. It has happened with 3 different calls today. All in different locations,but not in the car.
I'll normally reposition the phone on my face and it will correct. Is it possible I'm covering the Mic with the Palm of my hand?
had this issue a second ago.. hmmm
Yes very frustrating! Several times, never happened on Vzn before.

Bought my g3 in Berlin, using it in Israel...
I am having this issue. issue is fine when the phone is directly to ur ear but if u adjust it or have it a couple of inches away it is horrible.
been testing all day. speakerphone doesn't have this problem.
leave a fake message for urself and u can hear the problem
take the phone and talk into it like a hand radio in normal to low dialogue. while doing it change between speaker and handset talk at the same level.
Anyone ever find a solution to this? I'm still having the problem. Wish I had returned the phone the first time it happened, but I thought it was just a bad signal. I went back in to Best Buy where I bought the phone and they were zero help.

Welcome to the club
Has anyone had any feedback from LG/Verizon on this?
I called both and was told "they hadn't heard of the problem" which I don't believe.
Anyone get a fix or has a replacement phone fixed the issue?
Yes - I'm still suffering with this issue.
I have been using speakerphone lately and have not had a single complaint. As previously noted, using a BT headset works fine every time as well.
This leads me to suspect that the noise cancelling/voice enhancement circuitry is running amok because supposedly speakerphone and BT do not use that feature, even though the one selection I have on my phone is off I think the phone still uses some enhancement when using the stock mic.
Next step is to block the mic on top with a piece of foam and see if that fixes it. By blocking that mic, the phone will think it's in a completely silent from ambient noise setting and maybe will turn off the noise cancellation circuitry.
Food for thought.
I don't know if I can prove it, but the problem feels worse (more people tell me they can't hear me) with the quick circle case on. It still happens with my other case and with no case at all, but less.
Has anyone who has this issue received today's OTA from Verizon? If so, is the problem still present for you? I will have a chance to test myself tomorrow.
I received the update yesterday and have not had anyone complain of call quality yet but I have not made a lot of calls. It is encouraging though because I would get complaints on most calls. I'll give it a few days and see before proclaiming it's fixed.
FWIW I was using an Otter Box and am now using an LG Circle case but it fails with/without the cases. IOW case made no difference.
I have my fingers crossed that it might be fixed.
I do notice the phone seems quicker with the update.
I made two calls on my Vzw G3 today, using only the handset (not speakephone or bluetooth), and both callers said I sounded fine. One call was about 15 mins, and one about 5. My fingers are crossed that it is fixed, too. I really don't have any other complaints about this phone, and there isn't one I would rather be using right now.

Unfortunately I updated a few days ago and I had the problem last night on a call. So frustrating.
So only one complaint and I think it was due to a poor coverage area. I would get complaints all day long and every day so maybe, just maybe, they fixed it.... Still not convinced but feeling positive about this issue.
Today out of 7 calls so far I have had one person tell me they couldn't hear me. Re-positioning the phone closer to my mouth so my ear was more on the glass and not the speaker hole fixed it.
It's better than it used to be but might still be having problems.. Time will tell.
As an update, the problem is still there but it does seem better. Maybe 3 out of 10 calls will have the person on the other end telling me they can't hear me, breaking up, under water etc.
I've about had it with this phone and Verizon and I'm real close to putting it on Swappa and moving on to another phone and maybe another carrier.
I have been cautiously trying voice calls on the handset, but really got used to carrying Bluetooth headphones around over the last few months.
I have had 2 calls in maybe 8 where the caller complained, so about the same ratio as you.
I still don't want to switch to a different phone. I am not convinced I want a moto x or that I am ready for the size of the nexus 6.
Verizon sucks, but I need the strong network.

I really believe the issue is the G3 on VZ. My spouse switched to the iPhone 6: no issues with voice calls, with same usage as with the G3. I prefer Android phones, so I haven't decided what to do yet.
My wife has an iPhone 4 and before my LG G3 I had a Droid Razr Maxx. Neither phone has this problem. Same number of calls, same locations etc. All the complaints I have seen involve the G3 on Verizon so it's probably something to do with Verizon's version of Android.

Complaints on Call Quality

Anyone else having complaints of an echo during their calls? Had 3 people tell me this.

I've had the call fade in and out a bit. My spouse (has the same phone), noticed people complaining about fade out during calls, too. We noticed that if we held the phone normally (fingers wrapped around the phone, about the middle of the phone), the calls fade out. If you hold the phone around the bottom near the speaker -- or use a headset -- calls are okay.
As a little test, I held the phone normally and the network signal was around -114 dBM.
I put the phone on the table, the network signal was around -104 dBM.
Both our G3s exhibited this issue. We didn't purchase them together, either (one by mail, other from store). Perhaps its a phone issue, perhaps we coincidentally received bad phones.

I think there are more than just a few people with this problem. Mine is giving me the same issue. People tell me they can't hear me at all, or I sound like I am stuck in a well, or that I am ignoring them. I've tried a couple of things but to no avail. I believe it has something to do with noise cancellation. I just turned off voice enhancement and voice privacy and it still seems to give me this problem but I am gonna try it out for longer. I am with Verizon. Let me know if you guys have any ideas.
Yes I have noticed that when the phone is right to me ear im ok but a couple of inches away and people say echo or sounds like Im stuck in a wall. I mean weird? has anyone tried a factory reset
I've been struggling with this issue since I purchased the phone on the 17th. I've also noted significantly worse signal in relation to my G2. I swapped out my phone this past weekend and the problem exists with the replacement.

We had this problem with the Verizon g2 when it first came out. Tried swapping devices, Sims, and nothing worked. Eventually LG updated the radio which fixed the issue (if I remember correctly).

In vehicle bluetooth works every time. I had one case where my wife could barely hear me through the phone (we both have the g3) but all other calls have been fine thus far. Hopefully this gets addressed in the first update.
Still An Issue...
Any update on a fix for this?
I just spent a month calling VZ about how people have trouble hearing us (we have two G3s with the same problem). One was replaced and people still have trouble hearing us.
The SG3 was never this bad with calls.
I have not tried my G3 with the Prius Bluetooth, but on every call so far over Verizon or Google Voice/Hangouts the Voice quality whenever I enquired has been reported to be fine.
The only issue I have noticed is that sometimes when I hold the phone right-handed my finger underneath it covers the Mic hole.

I have a bad habit of bringing the mic away from my mouth at about a 45 degree angle while keeping the phone to my ear. When I do this, I get reports of the echo / can't hear me. Bringing it back to the proper position seems to correct the issue.
I have an ad hoc solution that seems to work so far:
Use the speakerphone while on the call. Totally obnoxious in social settings, but if you're somewhere private, it works.
Turn off Bluetooth. I did this a couple of time no one complained not being able to hear me.
Speaking to Verizon is pretty much useless. One rep did a fancy dance to say this is a software issue and they can't do anything for me at this point.
Add me to the list of Verizon LG G3 owners with poor call quality. You guys have described exactly what I am experiencing. People tell me I fade out, sound tinny, sound underwater etc. I have tried the phone in a case (OtterBox) no case, different parts of my house, different positions holding it, making sure I'm not covering the mic etc.
Also did a factory reset and ran the phone in "Safe Mode" as well
Same problems. Seems to happen on longer calls BTW and I have no troubles hearing people.
I am getting a solid -104 to -108 LTE signal and solid -89dbm CDMA and -88dbm 1xRTT signal.
Right now I am going to use BT exclusively and see what happens, but this is troubling since I make a lot of calls.
I never had this problem, in the same location my house, with my last phone a Droid Razr Maxx.
It gets pretty much the same signal levels.
Any ideas on this?
Is it a Verizon problem?
I bought this phone in BestBuy so I'm not really sure how to proceed to exchange it as I am past my 30 days?
Do I call Verizon?
Go back to Best Buy?
Call LG?
I've dealt with Verizon before and like the other person said, it's not a pleasant experience .
Help!
P.S Other than the call quality issue, this phone is incredible and I love it.

I have the same problem as many on here and it's frustrating. As great as the features on the phone are, it fails at its most basic task - making calls.
I quoted you to answer part of your question. I, too, got my G3 at Best Buy - 22 days ago to be precise. I finally got fed up with the call quality problem and spoke to Best Buy yesterday (and had the issue pop up mid call with them). Unfortunately, their return policy is 15 days. Beyond that you're forced to use a protection plan claim, if you have one, or work directly with LG for a repair - which would leave you without a phone for a few weeks while LG does its thing. It was also suggested that it could indeed be a software issue and a future update could fix the issue. But that does nothing for us now.

Thanks for the info Rodeojones.
I suspect it is a software bug.
I "think" I can still take out a protection plan with Verizon so I might do that just in case it gets worse.
I'm trying the BT headset exclusively now to see if that helps or changes things. So far nobody is complaining and also when I use the BT in my car, a crappy Jabra Freeway Speaker thing, nobody seems to complain either which leads me to believe that maybe the mic is doing something odd causing the phone to reduce the audio going out or something.
It certainly is disappointing having a top tier phone that has problems making phone calls.
@stang2003
You've described all the troubleshooting steps I've gone through as well. I am disappointed beyond words. I would at least be happy if there was some affirmation from Verizon or LG that this problem exists, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for it....

From what I am reading it seems this might be related to Verizon only.
Is anyone having these kinds of problems on a different carrier than Verizon?
I did find a number of threads regarding poor signal strength with the G3. Seems even the EU folks are having these problems.
Maybe both call quality/microphone problems are actually related to a poor radio signal?
Ok, so an entire day using my Blue Ant ancient T1 BT and not a single complaint about fading in and out etc. In fact I was talking to a person on BT and it was fine. I disconnected the BT, did not move the phone which was right in front of me, put it on speaker and within a couple of minutes he was claiming he couldn't hear me, fading in and out etc. I switched to regular ear (no speaker phone) and same thing with fading in and out. I went back to BT and talked for about 10 additional minutes and it was fine.
My preliminary conclusion, and it's really too early to tell, is that it's somehow related to the mic in the phone as BT doesn't seem to have the problem.
Can anyone else confirm this?
Test with BT and see if you get complaints from people on the other end that you are fading etc.

Phone Mic sounds Muffled to Callers

I have replaced this phone with another one thinking I may have had a defective unit. Callers report Muffled sound or hard to understand on their end... when I switch to speak it's fine.. and of course Bluetooth is fine. Anyone else have similar reports?

Same here, gets annoying having to repeat myself....
This happened to me once in the month that I've owned my G3, though I use in car bluetooth for 80%-ish of calls. Could have been a phone issue or a network blip, I don't have a large enough data set to draw any conclusions.
Yes, we have issues with call quality when using the phone without bluetooth. Callers report that my voice fades in and out / sounds muffled. I've used it in areas with strong and weak signal strength. Therefore ruling out tower issues.
For one G3, I did a factory reset, unchecked Voice Enhancement and Call Privacy in Settings > Call. It seems to help, but did not "fix" the issue.

We have an anti-glare screen protector (the sticky sheets, not tempered glass).
Verizon is replacing the phone with the most issues since the factory reset only temporarily fixed the call issue. Then the calls degraded the rest of the week. We did not receive the replacement yet, so I have no clue as if it is fixed.
As an aside, the other G3 seems to be doing better with calls. It does fade in and out a little but not to the extent as the one being replaced.
I would try a bluetooth headset. The only caveat is I've had issues with the Jawbone Era but not with my car (go figure). The Jawbone also gave me problems with the Galaxy S3, so it may be a bad combo.
If your right handed like me I find when holding the phone I tend to put my pinky finger under the phone, covering the mic. I now am more aware of my placement.

I had this same problem on my G2 and now my wife is reporting it is happening on my G3. I know the problem but I don't really know how to fix it.
There are 2 microphones on the phone. one on the top and one on the bottom. Whenever I angle the phone against my ear too far and the top mic gets covered slightly, that is when my wife reports that I am muffled.
This would also happen when I would hold the phone against my ear with my shoulder to have both hands free. The top mic got covered slightly and she couldn't hear me.
I don't understand why the top mic affects the sound quality so much, but try it out with someone on the phone and cover the top mic. see if it muffles.
If this keeps happening, just make sure that you aren't covering the top mic and you should be fine.
If anyone finds a software fix to better balance the mics I would love to know about it.
Both my wife and I have had our Verizon G3s for about 2 months and have been dealing with this issue.
At first, we thought it might be the fact that we're on a network extender, and that it was only affecting my wife. That's when I realized it was just that I was using bluetooth and that she was not.
Since then, the problem has happened in nearly every call I've made directly using the handset. I never know when it's going to strike, so I've gotten to the point where I almost do not want to use my phone for actual phone calls anymore.
I absolutely dread calling Verizon. They're going to run my through their idiot algorithm of bs and pretend like they've never heard of this problem before.
I've had at least two people tell me they couldn't understand me. If I talk much louder, they've said that they can hear me again.

Yeah... it's completely unacceptable.
I want to understand the problem before I just blindly return the phone. That doesn't seem to have helped others much....
I'm having similar problems. See this thread:

It seems, at least from very early testing, for me it does not fail using BT.
Also, is this only a Verizon problem?
Anyone else on a different carrier having these problems?
Please see the thread listed above for additional information.
When I hold the phone to my ear with mic by mouth its fine but when I get lazy and pull the mic away from my mouth (30-45 degree angle or so) then they can't hear me too well.

If you have the bluetooth on and it's unconnected, you will have issues with people hearing you. This is after wasting time with Verizon "technical support" for a month. My solution posted on another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55655465&postcount=13
If you want to leave the bluetooth on, then use the speakerphone on calls. It works, although not practical in public spaces.
This solution is for using the G3 as a phone, without a headset. I'm not a fan of headsets.
The last VZ rep pretty much admitted this is a software issue and had no idea when an update will be issued.

I don't think we're talking about the same issue. My wife and I both have VZW G3s. My bluetooth is on 100% of the time (out of laziness, as I only use it in the car), but hers is off 100% of the time. We both have the same issue with people saying we sound like we're underwater at times.
God... I wish it were that simple, though. I will try it, just for ****z and giggles.

I have actually had the problem using the speaker phone as well but NEVER with a BT headset.
As an update, I called Verizon today (BestBuy Phone) and they went through the usual BS which I played along with. Check settings, signal etc. So finally, they asked me to do a factory reset, which is something I had not done since I have a few corporate applications on the device that are highly secure and difficult to re-install.
I balked but VZ said LG won't even talk to me if I hadn't done that and that they have seen this problem where a hard reset fixed it.
So I'll be a monkey's uncle but so far, so good..... I seriously can't believe this will last...
Phone is 100 percent stock with no other applications added.
I made about 10 calls today and only one complained I sounded tinny. Might have been a bad connection though. Ever other call was crystal clear according to people on the other end.
I also had my wife call me from the phone and talk for 20 minutes while I listened using her iPhone.
Again crystal clear.
Is it fixed?
I don't think it will last but I'm giving it another day before installing my applications one at a time.
I doubt anything I'm using mucks with the phone but you never know.
I'll post back in a day or two.
Ok so I am on day 2 after VZ told me to factory reset and I made 26 calls today and only had one person tell me I sounded garbled. I might have gotten lazy and had the phone on say a 30 degree angle from my ear because re-positioning the phone did fix that one.
The factory reset definitely did fix something because prior to it I was getting complaints from like 2/3 or more of my callers. Now it seems much, much better.
I'm still not convinced it's fixed but I did start installing my applications.
Nothing fancy, waze, facebook, Lotus Travler (work). I want to see how it goes today (Thursday) with these applications installed and see if the problems return.
I'll update tomorrow.
I've had less people say they couldn't hear me but one thing I've started to notice on almost all calls now is I hear a little bit of static when people are talking. I'm not sure if this is a common problem or not. I didn't notice it for the first couple weeks I had the phone.
Since my phone is less than a month old, if I complain and call to get a replacement will they send me a refurb?

Distorted sound when lying down?

Hi All,
Recently bought the S6 Edge for my brother and whenever he is lying down the sound gets kinda distorted. It's like I can't understand what he is talking. When he is upright, standing, sitting voice is clear but not when he is holding phone when lying down.
Surprisingly I once had HTC Droid incredible which suffered this issue. Now it's happening with this S6 Edge too. It's a 925F international model on 5.1.1, completely stock, no rooting
EDIT: Probably I am the only one facing the issue. Maybe its the casing. Anyone has same issue can PM me. Thanks
I have been looking around googling and found out that Nexus 5 had same issue
https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/nexus/kUrmrlzYJ_o
Please vote to let me know if your phone suffers this too. But only vote when you have tried it. I repeat it occurs only when you are lying flat as in bed or phone is flat during a call

Speaker issue in redmi note 4

All,
I recently purchased redmi note 4 one week before. Phone looks great.. But, the problem is while talking on headsets, the person on the receiving end is NOT able to hear me. Not sure if this is because of the speaker position which is towards the bottom of the phone. Everytime, i need to grab the phone in one hand and talk near the speaker and then only the other person is able to hear properly.. This really sucks big time as we can't hold on to the phone if we are in conference calls which goes for longer time.. Anyone faced similar issue?? Anyway through which this can be avoided?? Please help..
Thanks,
Ragh
