Huawei Nexus 6P :: Super Low Microphone Volume When Using Hangout Calls On Speakerphone / Video Calls?
Nov 11, 2015
Experiencing super low microphone volume when using hangout calls on speakerphone/video calls? The other person i'm calling says they can barely hear me.
Having issues with video calls and speaker phone calls? Everyone I have talked to complains about barely being able to hear me. I use hangouts mostly for the video calls. Just wondering if it is my phone or a common issue.
I recently replaced LCD digitizer and I can't hear voice calls unless in speakerphone mode.. Either I messed something up when I put it all back together or something else is wrong...
So I received the new Fi Sim card as the one in my nexus 6 wasnt compatible with the Nexus 6p. Went through the activation etc and I receive calls on wifi but not make calls on wifi or cellular, data is brutally slow. Waiting to hear back from Google on this.
When in either of the apps and I attempt to send a message, I'm only able to select from local storage and not my Google Photos or my Google Drive for that matter. However, when I go into the Photos app and select a picture that's stored in the cloud, I'm able to send it.
I cant seem to find a way to block calls & SMS ( no sending to voicemail or archived messages) Im looking for a method similar to what CM roms offer where I can have both blocked and no notification or even a trace that a call/SMS came from the said numbers. Is this possible on the stock rom w/o 3rd party apps ?
I am having issues with calling and receiving calls, I am able to send SMS and go on the web, but not able to call or receive calls, I've done a factory reset , cleared the phone cache...
It's laggier than my Z3! I was NOT expecting this. Scrolling on certain sites is super choppy.
I have performed a factory reset and first impressions are that it is super smooth and silky now when scrolling again. I am yet to sign Chrome into my google account to sync a tonne of my bookmarks and see if this affects performance. Also, waiting on all my 237 apps to install in the background first before carrying out another test too. I will report back once I've done so.
On my previous factory reset, somebody said I should remove last pass, which I did but it made no difference as I still had other accessibility services enabled. So the problem resurfaced.
Okay, so it is all down to accessibility services, IMHO. Once enabled, Chrome seems to suffer from this dreaded laggggg and slow touch response or sometimes freeze and crash on sites like daily mail, XDA and huffpost. I have performed a factory reset and not enabled any accessibility services yet and everything is hunky dory, even with full bookmark and account sync.
I will update when and if problem recurs. All seems well for last couple weeks...
I'm having a really weird problem with my phone. The wifi connection is super slow on my Nexus6P, but on my macbook it is fine as it should be. I tested on two more phones, one iPhone and my OnePlus one, wifi works fine on both of them.
I tried restarting my phone and nothing, I did a factory reset on my phone and the same problem still happens.
When I did turned of my router for like 2 minutes and then turned it on again, the wifi connection on my nexus6p worked fine for some minutes and then got slower again.
I'm trying to use the Nexus 6P's native dialer to make calls through my SIP provider. I have a configuration that works perfectly on the Nexus 5X and older 6 (shamu). I entered all my information in Dialer > Calls > Calling accounts > SIP accounts, and then enabled the account under ... > Calling accounts > All calling accounts. However, whenever I attempt to make a call through my SIP provider on the 6P, a message pops up saying "Can't make outgoing calls while call barring is on."
Note that: I can make regular phone calls from my mobile number just fine, tested with both a Verizon and a T-mobile SIM. However, the SIP call barring problem persists regardless of which SIM is in the phone.
I can make SIP calls using other apps, like CSIPSimple, so it's not a port blocking issue.
I can receive incoming SIP calls (to my DID number) just fine when enabling ... > Calling accounts > Receiving incoming calls, so clearly I didn't mistype my SIP account password. (I visually checked that all the other settings are identical between my 5x and 6P.)
I'm definitely on WiFi when I experience the problem. To be extra sure, I even tried it with airplane mode and WiFi both on, which is fine for CSIPSimple or incoming calls but still doesn't work for outgoing calls with the android dialer.
The message pops up instantly, making it seem like a setting on the phone rather than a response to network messages.
For what it's worth, I'm running build MMB29M (android 6.0.1). My phone is unlocked but not rooted. (I can still get root access to /data by booting TWRP, but have never mounted my system partition read-write.) The one thing it might be is that I put a Verizon SIM in my Nexus 6P when first booting it, whereas my other phones were all first booted with a T-mobile SIM. I think that caused some VZW apps to be installed that I since removed; perhaps it messed up other settings. I'm a bit reluctant to wipe my phone and try again, but will do it if it's the only solution.
I have been a BB lover for years. My Curve 5320 served me well and I loved it. When the new Bold 9700 was released I was one of the first to get it b/c businesses were offered the opportunity to get it before individuals. I was so excited about 3G, it's sleek look, etc. My excitement has officially crashed and burned. When placing calls it will fail repeatedly before even dialing the number. It will fail during calls up to 5 and 6 times in a few minute period, which is HORRIBLE during business calls. It will lock up when I'm trying to move between apps, it will spontaneously shut itself off. I'm feeling like my BB is possessed. This is my second 9700. The first the E key would stick or repeat 20 times on a text and the calls would fail, so they diligently sent me a new one. Thankfully, I no longer have to edit every text for 100 e's (i'm stopping @ theeeeeee storeeeeeeeeeee is theeeeeeereeeeeee anything you neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed), but the failed calls thing is really pissing me off! Also, the volume on calls is really low in comparison to my Curve. To top it off, the 3G speed seems as slow as, if not slower than my former EDGE. I am hoping and praying that a software upgrade will fix all of these issues, but if it doesn't are there any suggestions as to what i can do? Other than switching to an iPhone? I for one happen to love my Qwerty keyboard and am not exactly fond of the on-screen keyboards.
The dialer does not show the current call duration for outgoing calls? Mine only shows for incoming calls. Also when viewing call history I can't seem to find call duration of individual calls.
I've read several tips from others about this problem (cleaning the headset jack, switching back and forth between speakerphone and regular, etc.). None of them have worked...
All of a sudden, in the middle of a call, the other person could not hear me. It was not accidentally switched to speaker (I checked). After trying to call back a few times, I figured out it would work on speaker. I found a thread where someone said they took a pin and cleaned out the small mic, and that worked for them. Having no pin, I tried a paperclip ... and it seemed to work ... for a couple minutes. Now its back to speaker only! Also ... I now notice that when I try and use voice Google ... The phone does not hear my voice. This phone is only about 6 or 7 weeks old.
Everything functions fine on my iPhone 4 except the native phone app. I can dial out and answer calls. However, I cannot hear any sound coming out of the earpiece or speakerphone and the person on the other end of the line cannot hear me and the iPhone shows that we are connected. I use apps like Skype and Viber and I am able to make and receive phone calls fine. I can hear the caller and they can hear me. I restarted my iphone, I did a hard reset. I even backed up my iphone and restored it to default settings and the problem still persists.
Today I discovered my speakerphone was not working. On phone calls, the speakerphone light comes on but the audio only comes from the earpiece. Every few calls, the speakerphone starts working midway through the call. On Skype video calls, the same thing. The audio comes only from the earpiece. I have removed and reinstalled Skype. No change. The ringer works as do all the notifications so the speaker is working. I have tried disabling bluethooth to make sure it was not interfering. No change.
When I'm trying to talk on the phone mike is not working. I can hear the caller but they cannot here me. It seems phone app is the problem bc when I use different phone app it works.
So today has started yet another problem. Now when I go to answer my calls or make a call, it is automatically on speakerphone. I turned my phone off and it helped for a few calls and now the problem has returned. I have heard of USB ports going bad or something of that sort (not really familiar with it). Hopefully this is not what happened, yet then again maybe I could get a refurb not riddled with problems.
After updating to Lollipop, (I had 5.0.1 and no 5.1.1) my phone started doing really weird stuff. For example, two months ago, sensors stopped working in any moment and I had to reset it for normal behaviour (for a few hours or minutes, depending the day). Well, that stopped one day without doing anything dramatic (I did factory reset two or three times). But now it got even worst: the microphone just stop working while doing simple phone calls. I have tested it in whatsapp audios and android testing and everything seems fine... So I have to reset the phone and it works for a random amount of time. I think this is an Android Lollipop issue, but I haven't been able to confirm that. If so, How to manage it?
4s microphone has malfunctioned on most outgoing calls for many months. People can't hear me for first 10 seconds of outgoing phone calls. I've synched w healthy Macbook Pro, replaced SIM cards, replaced iPhone 4s when Apple Store thought it was probably a hardware problem, called Applecare (no mic issue admitted). OS problem??? I think so! For the past 2 days, since updating to 5.1.1, no one has reported problems hearing me!
Info: iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1, Microphone. People can't hear me.
My iphone is not working correctly when making normal voice calls, as in, I can hear the person I called but they cannot hear me. The weird thing is, when using skype it works fine.
My iPhone 4's microphone has stopped working [only during calls -- otherwise works fine when playing music, shooting video and voice memos].I am currently restoring my phone as I type.My carrier said that it is a typical iPhone 4 problem, I have never had the issue until this morning.It has nothing to do with my headphone jack either; I have cleaned it and nothing happened.
Info: iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1, Less than 12 months old
