[Q] trouble with in call volume - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was listening to Play Music with headphones.
I then received a call.
That's when my curiosity kicked in so I answered the call, without removing my headphones like normal.
Well, I could hear the other person through the headphones so I decided to unplug them.
Then I finished my call in the normal way without the headphones.
The next call I received I could hear the person, however, they couldn't hear me.
So I tried rebooting my phone and called them back, with the same results.
I then decided I should try the headphones again, yep could hear them.
I looked through the setting for the sound and couldn't find anything that would seem to help me.
Then I tried to re-flash my ROM, Neutrino 2.7.
So I went through all previous stated troubleshooting with the same end results.
My wife is getting annoyed with me by calling all the time.
So I turn to you all knowledgeable XDA folk!
Have you ever experienced this with yourself?
Know of any fix?
I am off to check the other devices to see if something like this has happened.

crackling earpiece

when I make a call, the earpiece makes a staticy popping noise. I turn the call volume down and it's still somewhat there but I can't help but think there's something wrong with the earpiece. Do this happen to anyone else?
Does it still do it if you uncheck voice privacy in the dialer settings? That would be my only suggestion.
I experience the same thing. I have to lower the volume to make it go away. I tested my earpiece on other phones (touch pro 2 and iphone 4s) and I don't experience the same static even at the highest level. I suspect that the lte is pushing higher frequencies that some headsets cannot handle. I tried different equalizer settings without any changes. I took a higher quality headset and the distortion goes away confirming my theory. I don't think some headsets can handle the full range of frequencies that the lte pushes out. Does anyone know of any mods that will alter the frequency more than the stock settings?
similar problem, but with playing videos... (at least with some of them)

that seems to have done it, will test it further but for right now thank!
having the same problem, constant ticking noise coming from the earpiece speaker when I make a call, and its only on my end. Tried the solutions mentioned above, still got the issue. No problems with bluetooth or using the speaker phone
I'm having the same issues, doesn't seem to happen on every call. But it only happens on my end where I hear the cracking noise. The person on the other end says I sound fine. Does anyone know I can do?
This is an EVO problem

I have the same problem... sometime it sounds ok, then some call sound like crap! Then I started testing it and found that it happens 100% of the time... just on one end of the phone. If you are having this problem, make a call... If it sounds good to you, ask the person on the other end of the phone how you sound! You will see that one of the two people will have bad call quality, making this a problem 100% of the time!

[Q] Speech Volume Drop in Headphones - SIII. What is doing it?

Hello awesome sauce developers and community!
There are many threads in the GII about this but I am hitting my head against the wall for the SIII
When headphones are plugged in music, and even notifications or system sounds like the ringing noise Talk makes when you are calling someone is loud and clear. But as soon as speech from another person comes on there is a noticeable attenuation of the sound and it drops it several decibels. Trying to talk to people with headphones is very hard and I am constantly saying "what?" this frustrates the other person and myself.
So. . what is happening with the SIII? Is there some subsystem that is turning things down to try and save my hearing? Is there a way to override it? And yes. . I have tried Volume+ It does not always work and it blows EVERYTHING out. There has to be a way, a mod, or a switch(setting) to turn off this what seems to be a feature.
Anyone have a suggestion or able to look into what is happening?
Thanks.
Oh, on a Verizon SIII Locked right now but have unlocked it and tested with no luck on volume.

[Q/Help] Can only hear phone calls via speakerphone

I have a 2 year old Motorola Atrix which I have had in an otterbox since day 1. The phone is in more or less mint condition. A couple days ago I noticed that I couldn't hear the phone ring when I called people. So figuring the phone wasn't dialing I would hang up and try again. Still no luck.
I called my phone via GoogleTalk and could not hear anything through the phone. I put it in speakphone mode and could hear no problem. The mic was picking up correctly in both speaker and normal mode. I can hear notification sounds and ringer sounds through the speaker.
If I plug in headphones I can hear sound through them on a call. However if I unplug them I once again hear nothing.
If power off and power back on (or reboot) it continues to behave the same (no sound through phone when calling). However 9/10 times if I do a full power-off and battery pull when I turn it back on it will work for a short period of time. This leads me to believe the speaker itself is still working.
I have tried downloading an app that disables headset pass through, I have tried rebooting, battery pulling, and full factory, cache, and dalvik wipes. I have tried cleaning the headphone jack, putting headphones in and out multiple times, as well as ensured the mic was clean.
I have been running epinters CM10 November 2012 release and have only just started having this issue, so I am confident it is not a ROM issue, as nothing has changed.
Anyone have any ideas outside of me contacting bell, on what might be going on?
I did a full wipe and flashed lastest CM10. It worked for the first couple of calls I made however it is back to not working. I have a feeling now it is not a ROM issue and that it must be hardware.

Phone call issues, audio cuts off everytime

Im not sure if anyone else is having this issue but whenever i make a phone call the fluctuates. It like moves in waves, i hear them and then it goes quite then i hear them again. This happen on speakerphone, on regular ear piece calls and even via the audio jack. The problem also occurs when i get voice messages. It seems fine someday and then someday calls are almost impossible to hear or voice mail is impossible to hear. I have been having this issue basically since day one and im not sure what is going on. Please any help would be appreciated.
Am i the only one with this issue?

Potential issue with Microphone? Is this a normal sound?

Hello everyone,
I recently got my LGV30, about 2 days ago, brand new, but from a 3rd party seller, and I noticed a very minor poping or "crackling" -- I'd like to call it more of a microcrackle than anything -- issue with the audio that happens . Specifically, when I open up the google browser, and hit the microphone icon on the search bar, about once every 10 or so times (its honestly random) I hear a micro pop or crackle in my speaker, for literally 1/4th of a second, then everything works like normal. It either happens right before the "beep" sound when the microphone icon is pushed, or just after the "beep" after it has been used, or both. It happens more often before I'm going to say something, or immediately after I'm done speaking as it types out what I said. Again, this is a very small "pop" the "ding" sound from pressing the mic still works, it just sounds a tiny bit distorted when first pressing it. Similarly, when using Gboard, and trying speech to text on the Messenger app, I hear the damn microcrackle again.
Here's the crazy thing though, I have ran about 5-6 videos on youtube that are supposed to be speaker tests (high and low frequency noise), everything sounds great. I have listened to over 10 hours of video/music and only once noticed a tiny bit of crackling, but honestly It was so quick that I'm not really sure if it wasn't just the song playing. I also have not noticed it with headphones but will continue to test this. I also picked up another android phone I had years ago, the Moto G4 Play, and tried to replicate the issue, to my surprise, my MotoG4 play has a similar issue, but its significantly more quiet than my LG. In the Moto's case, I press the microphone icon on the keyboard and I hear more of a "buzzing" sound immediately after, then, once I stop talking and hear the closing "beep" of the microphone, again, the buzzing sound. Much quieter, and likely why I never noticed it at all when using that device.
I'm just wondering if you all think this is a software issue, or a hardware issue? I have made several phone calls, people say I sound good, and I can hear them fine. I feel like something is happening when I press that button, as it doens't happen at ANY OTHER time when using audio. I'm thinking it might be the microphone "poping" itself awake? Maybe? I don't really know how this works.
Should I go through the trouble of returning the phone over this, or trying to get an exchange? It wouldn't be easy, since I bought the phone brand new off Ebay, and would need to contact seller (has 30 day money back guarantee).
Please let me know.
Thanks!
