Droid 4 has large static during calls

All,
Today I was making a call and for some reason during the call my phone picked up large amounts of static. To the point where I had to end the call. I have tried rebooting and calling someone else and it still has static. I have also tried changing my location, but that didn't help. I also tried calling my phone from someone elses and I don't hear the static on the other line until I answer it on my phone. Does anyone have any ideas what is up? I purchased the phone on April 4th. Would they still warranty this? There was no abuse or anything like that. I was just in the middle of a call when it happened.
Thanks,
Troy

Hi,
I just got off the phone with support (I used a different phone). They are sending me a replacement. So if you have this isssue, call support.

Speaker mode is full of static during calls

My iphone 6 iOS8.0.3 has speaker phone problems. When the phone is in speaker mode and this is only during phone calls, the sound is full of static. This also occurs when my phone is in bluetooth mode during calls. I can play music just fine. Weird.

I went to the Apple Store and they reset the firmware and restored the phone as well. I am still having the issues. They said the phone was fine and to keep using it for a week. If there were still issues then to come back and they would run another test to see if the phone was picking up any issues with the reception. The guy that helped me said that his phone sometimes has an echo for a couple of days and then it goes away. I am wondering if it is a problem with Rogers. I am interested to see that you are having similar issues. The static when it comes is a little annoying. It must be a software issue.

Static during call between iPhones

Hi all,
My GF and I both have iPhones and love them. Only problem we have is that my GF's phone has a lot of static when talking to me on my iPhone. She doesn't have static with anyone else, and we have tested this tons. I have also tested my phone for out going calls to make sure its not mine causing the problem. Nothing wrong with my phone when I call other cells or landlines. My GF has also replaced her phone and sim card.
Anyone else have problems iPhone to iPhone or have any recommendations?
Thanks!

incompatibility with my provider (o2 Germany)
Maybe that. There's also the probability of bad network towers. In some areas you only get E and others you get 3G. The towers may have degraded over time and need maintenance. You can contact o2 Germany and report outages in your area, "unable to make calls", etc.

Loud static during calls occurs intermittently, but frequently

Mobile phones will occasionally flood a call with loud static, so that both parties sound like they're standing in a subway tunnel with trains rushing by. Every mobile phone I've ever had does this once in a while, and the issue is resolved by hanging up and calling the person right back.
My iPhone has done this only a couple times until about a week ago. Since then, about every third or fourth call has had this loud static. It is heard by both me and whoever I'm talking to. It can be talked over, but is basically so loud that it overwhelms the call.
Location does not seem to be an issue, as it has happened to me in different physical locations, and it may occur with both inbound and outbound calls. I have had the latest update (1.1.2) installed for some time now, so this problem does not coincide with any software changes. I have a first-generation, 8GB iPhone.
Any thoughts?

This question was not answered, but I am closing it, as I haven't experienced the issue in some time. (I moved, so maybe the problem was my local phone circuits?)

NOKIA C3 pure static during calls

For the last few days, whenever my mom sends or recieves a call on the c3, the person on the other line hears nothing but loud static while my mom hears them clearly through the c3.
we have tried using a headset and that didnt work
Any suggestions would be appreciated THANK YOU in advance!!

Does it happen in all cases? If not & the phone isn't network locked u can try inserting other sim card. If it doesn't work then pls contact nokia care of ur region as it seems to b a hardware problem.

Static during calls

While making or receiving calls, I hear static and clicking. I can hear the other party. They can't hear me.

Suggest Hardware issue.
Make an Apple Store appointment (There is an Apple Store app now too!)
Get Phone replaced I would. MAke a backup of phone before you go so you dont lose data.

Crackle, pop, static disturbance during call.

Hello,
As many others have reported, during calls only, there is a constant static disturbance that makes conversation so uncomfortable.
Disabled noise supression and slow talk, no change.
Not changed sim card yet, will do this soon and report if there has been a difference.
Will also attempt to use the pc companion repair tool.
Please share any fixes or work arounds that you may know of.
This is a major inconvenience, im not sure i would buy a sony phone again.

If disabling microphone noise suppression did not change anything,try to boot in safe mode,see if the same occurs:

Droid Muting During Calls & Phone Running Slow

Muting/Dropped Calls:
I've had my Motorola Droid for almost a year and in the last several months it started muting during calls - I can hear them but they can't hear me. When I realize this, I'll look at my phone and it is either locked or out of the "In Call" screen (for lack of a better word). To fix it, I need to unlock it (if it's locked) and then enter back into the call by dragging down the top menu. After I'm back in the "In Call" screen, they can hear me (if they haven't hung up by this point). This sometimes happens several times within the period of a short call. Other times the call will drop completely.
I'm always very cautious about my face touching the screen as I realize this may be a cause. Although sometimes the screen is lit when the phone is to my face and the sensor should recognize it's up to my face. Sometimes it's black when it's away from my face and I can't get the screen to come back on without taking out the battery. This is especially unfortunate when my call is mute and I can't get back into the call.
I've tried *228, option 2. We'll see if that works...
Running Slow:
In addition to the muting/exiting calls/dropping calls, my Droid has been running especially slow in the last month. I've tried deleting applications, pictures, anything I could think might be slowing it down. But it continues to take 5-10 seconds or so to go from email/calendar/texts to the home screen or to open anything.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

My phone used to mute and disconnect all the time. I almost lost my mind! I never have the problem anymore since I downloaded an app called Screen Suite. It costs about $3 and is well worth it. I have had it now for a few months and my problem is solved. The app is available from the market. I highly recommend it. Good luck!

Has anyone experienced on and off augmented background noise disturbances during calls?

ever since I bought my iPhone 5 I've experienced background disturbances during calls which sometimes gets too disturbing that I have to pull my ear away from the phone. i've noticed these noises normally comes on and off and mostly when im in areas which has loud noises. for eg. in my car (i'd be able to hear my car engine in the backgroud when talking to someone) or in a mall (i'll be able to hear noises of people talking in the mall). so im wondering is this a device problem or carrier related problem? and has anyone had this problem before? what should I do to fix this problem?

Thanks Artie,
Tried both approaches with no success. However, yesterday out of the blue I heard a strange electrical shorting noise from the iPhone, and the volume appears to be back to normal and the vibrate mode is working again (for how long who knows). Strangeness...

Hi I have a iPhone 4 and I seem to have a problem during calls. If I make or receive a call I can hear the person who is on the line with me but the other person can't hear me. This problem has occurred 1 week ago so please get back thank you

You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.
this link talks about updating to 9A406 to fix the "No Service" issue with iPhone 4S:

Losing connection during call and get no reconnection for hours

Hi, I use my iphone4 (not iphone 4S) with ISO5 latest version. Since some weeks during calls I lose connection to provider and cannot reconnect to network. Restarting doen't help. After some hours the iphone get again connection not knowing what has happend. Losing connection happens while I'm on a fixed place (not travelling in a car or something similar) and making a call. It also happens at different places. Vodafone changed my SIM-card but it doen't help. I also backed-up and renewed the the iphone-software by using iTunes. The vodafone-support explained that with renewing the software a new software-patch will also be installed that should help. As you can imagine - I still have the problem! Who can help?
Thanks for answering!

#1 Did the problem start occurring after any particular weather event?
#2 What light turned/turns red?
#3 Do you have Voice service, and if so, do you have noise or static on the line while in a call that was never there before?
#4 Lastly, visit http://192.168.1.1/ and visit the System Status section of the ActionTec. Provide the Transceiver Statistics it shows.

IPhone 5s - Microphone During Calls

I received my new iPhone 5s today and have encountered an issue. When in the phone app, no one is able to hear me during calls. If I switch to speaker mode however, my voice will be picked up. I've also tested with Siri, and my voice is being picked up there without issue. There was also no issue with my voice being detected in Facetime. As far as I can tell this issue only exists during phone calls without the speaker on.
- I've upgraded to the latest version of iOS hoping that might resolve it, but no luck.
- Also, I've tried turning off the noise cancelation feature, but again with no luck.
Has anyone encountered this issue before? What steps would you recommend for resolving this?
Thanks!

IPhone 4s earpiece very quiet during calls, but normal in Voice Memos.

My iPhones earpiece is really quiet during calls, but I'm loud and clear on the other end. It's also weird because if I record a message in Voice Memos, and I play it through the earpiece, it sounds fine. I'm in 5.1.1, Jailbroken (shouldn't make a difference) and I even poked a hole in the little earpiece grill, which didn't help and didn't hurt. And yes, the plastic piece is gone, I've had this phone for close to 5 months.

Mine also has this issue. Its the 64GB version. It's happened twice now. After about 5 mintues the call quality degragates and it sounds like i'm in a wind tunnel. The person on the other end also hears this and it is no longer possible to hear each other. Both times i've been using the new headphones provided with the 4s. I've done lots of searching on this issue and only found your thread which leads me to believe its not a common problem. I'm just not sure whether its a firmware or hardware issue but as nobody else has this issue its more than likely a hardware issue! :-(

IPhone 5c IOS7.0.3, other people can no longer hear me during calls unless I tap into speaker mode and back?

Hi,
I'm currently using an iPhone 4S, but my partner has just bought an iPhone 5c. A while ago, before the IOS7 upgrade, my phone would for some reason act as if I had clicked mute during calls. Nobody would hear me, but I could hear them perfectly. The only fixes were to hang up and recall them back, or to switch it to speaker mode and back again. Very annoying. However, after updating my IOS, it suddenly stopped doing this. It was fixed, I was happy, game on.
But recently, my partners phone which was working perfectly fine before the new IOS7.0.3 update, has developed this problem. Exact same issue, exact same solution. I wouldn't mind so much, but shes bought this phone in the last month, its a brand new phone, new software, new model... It shouldn't still be doing this! Whats worse is that when driving, its very dangerous for her to have to keep switching between speaker and not just to get her phone working. (She drivers with the phone in a cradle with hands free on).
This issue is... Annoying. I've found that its not exactly a rare thing, and that a lot of people have had it for quite a while, but the only solution I've seen is to open the back of your phone and cover a certain part with paper/cardboard... Not exactly what we want to do is it.
Does anybody have any advice or a solution to this, as I'm going a little crazy trying to reset everything and fix it!
Thanks in advance!

Same issues here. Sometimes during outgoing calls, people cannot hear me at all, even when the signal strength is good. Only solution is to soft reset the phone. A couple of times the person could hear me for the first few seconds of the call then it dropped completely.
I also experience the issue with the 3G data as you described (I think they are related... i.e., when the 3G data isn't working, the issues with outgoing calls exists too). The phone will just randomly seem to lose it's internet connection, even with full signal strength. Soft reset/toggling airplane mode fixes this.
I called Apple support; they asked if I was covering the microphone during outgoing calls (as if I'm that stupid). Come on Apple, I have a University degree in Computer Engineering, don't insult my intelligence! They then asked me to restore the phone (which I already did). Next solution they offered me was to replace the phone by sending me a new one first (at a cost of $35), or I could send it back and be phoneless for a week while they send a new one (which is not an option for me). I also put on a $30 Invisibile Sheild so if I exchange it, I already lose that. I believe the issue is not with the hardware, since the microphone seems to work just fine. Given that it is intermittent like this, it seems there's a software/firmware error somewhere that gets the phone into a bad state.
Very disappointed that the $800 phone I just bought functions worse for phone calls than the Nokia brick I had 8 years ago.
If anyone has a permanent solution for this that doesn't involve exchanging the phone, please let me know.
