I'm guessing it's a defective device but thought I would check here first. It's stock and refurbished, just got it yesterday. I tried rooting and flashing other ROM's and radios but nothing fixed it. And yes, I used the helpful guides provided in this forum (and others).

Edit: To clarify, when I make or receive a phone call, I can hear them but they can't hear me.

Sounds like how EVERY Motorola device I've ever owned ended up going. Never heard of that quirk on software so it's probably bum hardware.
Yeah that's what I thought. I also noticed an echo, like I could hear what I say after a short delay. It's going back today.

The echo is a network interface issue. It's happened to me on the last 5 devices I've had; Samsung flip phone of some sort, BlackBerry 8130, BlackBerry 9630, Incredible, Thunderbolt.
I can't get over how poor the incall voice quality is on any Rom including stock. Thought about returning but hoping for a fix. Increases volume with crazyag fix but calls still sound poor often. Its not all the time so that makes it more baffling. Anyone else notice and have any solutions.

I never have issues. More often than not I use a stereo Bluetooth headset. But, the caller sounds crisp and clear to me on stock, S8, UnNamed, MIUI, and ICScreweD.
What exactly do you mean by poor? Low volume? Static? Etc.

It could be a problem with your hardware or your phone's signal. I don't have any problems with call quality.

If the problem is echoes heard by the person on the other end - use a case that doesn't suck.
A lot of cases make the echo canceller/noise reduction go nuts.
Its not a case as it happens occasionaly with or without a case. Its hit or miss.

It's not as good as my old iphone 4 but its better than most other phones ive used. The skyrocket had better in call quality to. But this phone is better and i dont talk enough to care. I say try the skyrocket if you dont care about the speed of the device. Or exchange it and see if the new one is any better

Talking isn't a big priority for me either but very frustrating when i do. Maybe ics will help. Strangely task's Rom seems to be the best so far. Just installed iscrewd so maybe that will be the ticket.

I've had people complain to me that the audio quality has been irregular on speaker phone and bluetooth. Some people have even told me it is echo-ish.
Mine sounds fine to callers, i just can't understand people sometimes due to low quality/clarity

Is it just as hard to understand various people from various phones? Or do some people from different phones sound better than other people/phones?

i've been told that sometimes i suddenly start to sound like i'm a million miles away even though i didn't move the phone away from my ear.
kind of annoying because it doesn't go away until i hang up and re-dial the number. had the same problem with my skyrocket but never with iphone....
and this is with no case. still waiting for my otterbox commuter in the mail.
No issues here either, clear call quality. I came from a 3GS and 4 where my gf would tell me it would sound like an echo (no cases) or distance sometimes like mentioned above. Said that hasn't happened with this new phone and i sound clearer when calling her.
Not to confuse the op, but this issue in regards to what im hearing not what the other end hears and its sporadic too. I never get complaints from callers, i just can't understand them sometimes.

Ok im sure everyone has heard about the phone calls being recorded I was just wondering if there is software to check to see if someone is doing it to you cuz my phone been doing some off the wall stuff echo when people call me or the hear me all distorted when i exit all my apps my phone runs hot tried taking out the battery and everything else just need help
The echo on phone calls is sprint's network. Some towers are strong enough not to have that, others do. If I'm not mistaken.

Yea but its like every call it wasn't like the with my evo 4 g thats why I'm nervous cuz its only with my 3d
I've experienced that echo with this phone, 2 others on sprint, and while I had t-mobile. Nothing to worry about. It's a reception issue or codec issue for voice or both. I wish I could help you eliminate it. It's occurred less often for me since sprint has been upgrading their towers here.

Running hot could be anything too and that's subjective. Hearing you distorted exiting apps could be anything too. Why you jump to someone spying on you is quite a stretch. Lay off the green, it's makin ya paranoid

LOL I jumped to the spy stuff because its really bad where I'm at and I couldn't think of anything else and the running hot I can't explain like I rooted so I can force every app to close and it still acts like something is running

Anyone experiencing this during calls? On my 3rd note 3 and they all have this. Could it be sprint? I know they are upgrading all the towers here but they been doing it a couple months now.

No issues on my end. I have the black Note 3 if that helps.
I got the black one. It will be fine for a minute, then start making noises and crackling type sounds. But this is my 3rd note. So I was just curious if maybe it could be the network? I am gonna try a wifi Call and see if it's different

That's odd, Iv'e made several calls on mine since yesterday in different locations and have not had a problem. Have you rooted or tried any thing audio wise? Also is your volume at the max?

Doesn't do it when I listen to the pre recorded visual Voice mail messages. And it will be fine on a call for a minute and then start acting up. I notice on my wife's Galaxy S3 that when the signal is bad and stays to break up it kinda sounds similar to what I'm hearing, just not so noticeable. I'm wondering if it's these upgrades they are doing here. Funny how pre recorded messages don't have this issue but when I'm on a call it does
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
Most likely a network issue. I know when they are working on towers they offload on to other towers and that causes all kind of problems. Id say give it sometime. If you have the TEP on the phone hardware issues are covered for free.

I'm gonna wait until the end of the week to see if it goes away. what's the chances of getting 3 defective notes all with the same issue? Like I said, listening to the pre recorded voice mails that came on the phone play just fine which leads me to believe that if it were a hardware issue, it would happen when I play those messages as well but it doesn't

I know it can't be hardware because phone calls make this sound whether it's through the headpiece or the speaker phone. But music and other apps that use the speaker don't have this noise.
I'm thinking it may have something to do with the radio. May need to be updated.
If I get a 4th note and it does it then I know it's something network related. My wife's Galaxy S3 isn't as pronounced but you can kinda hear it. The note 3 is just more noticeable

Just a heads up,
I was looking at a co-workers G2 on Verizon today and heard the same cracklin' when making a call, it wasn't that way on messages or audio.
But when making a call it had the same issue. I did not try making a wifi call.
She thought it was just her who heard the noise but is super irritated now. She is looking into the LG Optimus G Pro on AT&T.
I have the same crackling irritating popping noises while making and receiving phone calls. It happens if I am using the phone earpiece, speakerphone, earbuds, and also on Bluetooth. When playing music on ear buds I do not hear the crackling and popping irritating noise. That sucks because I really like the phone but I run a business and I really need to use the device as a phone. I will definitely be returning this phone in a couple days if the issue does not get any better which I'm 99 percent sure it won't on its own.

I am having the same problem. chirping, garbled sounds, buzz noises, etc. Hopefully this can be fixed with a software update.

I am in the situation as yourself. I also run a business and since I am on wifi 95% of the time. I already am using Line2 and for me and how I use my devices Line2 has been a life saver. Especially when I at a clients place up in the hills where there is no hope of a signal.
Hope it gets better for you and the rest of the folks out there.
