When I make a call the phone almost freezes but does make the call after several seconds. But then there is no audio, I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me. When someone calls me sometimes it takes so long for my S5 to answer that it goes to voicemail. When the phone does answer, there is no audio either way and the phone is extremely slow to end the call and close the dialer app.
The sim card works fine in other phones.
Alternate dialer apps do the same thing.
I get the same results on several different roms/android versions including Nougat, Marshmallow, Kit Kat.
Every other function of the phone works great (LTE, Text, audio, etc..).
I've completely wiped the phone several times trying different roms, etc..
Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix?
replace motherboard and speaker

I just got a Plantronics Marque M155 headset. I was rooted with Paranoid Android, and determined I could only receive phone calls with the headset. I reverted back to stock rooted ROM for Bell Mobility (i747m), was able to make outgoing calls through S-Voice, albeit some contacts are extremely difficult for me to initiate a call with. I did try to add a new field Phonetic Name, but it is still hard to get it to match properly.
I then tried another ROM, JellyBam, and back to the same issue of not being able to make outgoing calls with the headset. Everything is paired properly, I can listen to music through the headset, as well as hear my system sounds.
I am assuming there are no ROMs that are compatible, I spent hours and hours looking on several different sites, as well as Google, and really didn't turn up with anything.
I did try disabling SVoice, so that I could use Google Now, but that also doesn't seem to work.
I enabled Driving Mode under Language and Input, thinking that when I got a phone call, it would read the incoming name/number over the headset, that doesn't seem to work either.
I sure would like to find a workaround, one that doesn't involve me having to start memorizing people's numbers so I can make phone calls.
I'm not sure what's causing this. It seems to have started when I first rooted the phone. Voice recognition isn't working. When I try to use google search the circle around the microphone icon will move, but the icon doesn't turn red as it does when it recognizes voice. If I cup my hands around the microphone on the phone and pretty much yell, sometimes I can get it to work. Other times I can't. Tried another test, downloaded a voice recording app and when I recorded, I could hear my voice but it was INCREDIBLY quiet. I couldn't make out what I was saying at full volume. I have had no complaints about my voice when on phone calls. Does anyone have any idea what this is, or what a fix would be? I'm rooted currently, have tried multiple different roms with the same outcome. Am I just missing a setting somewhere?
When on the phone people cannot hear me. If it's outgoing or incoming they cannot hear me unless i put it on speaker, then they can hear me just normal. I have tried different ROMs. Tried resetting my phone. Tried changing some volume settings from my computer to my phone (can't recall what it i called).
anyone have any ideas??

I've had this problem on and off for a long time with this phone. I've not been able to determine if it's the phone or the various custom ROMs that I've tried. Currently I'm on CM10.1 which seems good, although I had an issue with cell reception last week that caused a person not to be able to hear me.

Same is on my HTX Evo 4g they cant hear on regular but on speaker it is fine. Mic works fine of course so videos and voice recorder are fine
I have recently purchased a Lenovo IdeaTab A2109-F which I was quite happy with, since this was the first time I have used an android tablet as I am coming from iOS background.Before I bought the tablet, I read that id had double microphone in order to make voice calls such as Skype clearer. Now , at first it seemed all good and I had people saying that the audio being received is clear and crisp on the other end of the call.
However after 2-3 mins in a call (every call) the microphone then goes really weird and audio being received from it becomes mumbled until it completely degrades where it seems like just random noises, sometimes it even goes all quiet. What I have noticed however , if I blow into the microphone it then goes all good again.
At first I thought it was a Skype app issue and so I downloaded a microphone voice recorder (memo recording sort of app) and same observations were made where voice being recorded completely degrades within 3 minutes of the recording, where blowing into the microphone temporary fixes the problem until it happens again after a minute or so.
Now I am lost here , I really like the tablet and I really doubt it's a hardware issue for some reason. I have a suspicion that something is either upping/lowering the sensitivity of the microphone and where blowing into the microphone seems to then readjust it.
I really hope somebody could help me out, maybe there is an app that allows to change microphone settings , or maybe something else that I could try out.
Thanks for your time! :good:
P.S Android Version: 4.1.1 and latest Skype app. I also tried upgrading the firmware, same problem was observed.
I still have the same issue on my Lenovo A2109. Skype, Line or any internet call, voice degrades within 8 - 10 mts and I had to end the call and re-do the call again. VERY ANNOYING... I thought it was just my tablet. I didn't try the trick of blowing into the microphone. Thanks for the tip. Did you get a solution yet? I thought upgrading would help. But thanks for confirming.

Hi there people.
I've got the following issue. If anyone has this issue or has fixed it let me know.
Calls seem to be interfering with my mic. Sometimes my voice doesn't go to the other end even though normal call or whatsapp call. They might hear 1 word then nothing from me for a few seconds then a word or two and it sometimes sounds like a clicking noise.
I've called my self too and I can't hear anything on my RM7 but whoever I call can hear the clicking noise and sometimes nothing from me.
Sometimes I can't hear the other person too. It cuts out.
Same with normal calls and whatsapp calls.
Continuing my testing, I can send voice notes without issue and receive them and play it via rhe earpiece without issue too. Even voice recording and video recording the microphone does a good job only in calls it bugs out.
Continuing my testing
Works fine with headphones connected. But mic and earpiece work fine when used by voice notes and video ect
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but I have the same issue. It started around last week.
I cleaned my speakers and mic thinking I got dirt build up. But it's still the same.
It seems like a software issue. Looking at the patch notes in latest OS update (NX679J_UNcommon_V3.16) for me, they have listed "Repair: possible issues with calls in some scenarios". I don't know when they released the update and when I applied it to my phone but that could be the reason for this issue too.
After reading your post I tried regular calls with headphones, speakers and video call with Google meet. They all work fine.
For call on speaker, as soon as you turn the speaker off it starts acting up again.
Hopefully they will fix this issue soon.
From my testing it seems like its an app or something interfeering with the calls. I started the phone up in safe mode (no 3rd party apps only stock ones) and the issue was gone, so the issue is a app related issue, thinking its a virus I just reset the phone to factory and all is good now. I didnt find what was causing it.
Thanks for an update.
I will play around a bit and if it doesn't work out then will do the same.
