Random Keypad Tone During Calls

Over the last month or two I have noticed that while making or recievong calls at random points during the call I will hear a long loud tone very reminiscent of what the keypad sounds like, or when someone accidently hits a key on a regular phone during a conversation. I do not have the minute timer selected so I don't think it is from that. I am at a loss as to what it could be. Does anyone have any ideas or how I can fix it its highly annoying. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

No as I specified in my original post the minute alert is shut off. Also the touchscreen is black and inert while on the phone so I don't think its my cheek. I also make sure not to touch any of the physical buttons on the phone. I may take it into a verizon store and see what they can do since I have been having other issues especially since the recent software update. Thanks for all of your replies though.

Key tones during calls - only audience hears

I have an HTC Thunderbolt and a couple weeks ago one of my coworkers told me he always hears keys pressed during our calls - for the last year! I had no idea because I don't hear them, but people on the other end of the call do. Verizon couldn't figure it out, so they replaced the device. Yesterday on a conference call I was told it did it again -- now I'm wondering if it is something with the phone lines in the New England area?
Factors I've ruled out:
my cheek hitting the screen - I'm on a headset sitting at a desk using my phone - not even holding it.
my headset - I've had several headsets, too, and it still does it.
an app - the original device was rebooted and now I have a "like-new" device with only a couple apps (facebook, instagram) and it still does it
Anybody else have callers report to you that it sounds like you're pressing keys but you don't hear it??

I got a brand new 16GB iPhone 5S mid-December, as did my better half, on our AT&T plan. We *BOTH* hear this random 'beep' during various phone calls, and once or twice, I even heard someone else talking that was not on either end of the phone call. It's almost as if someone is either listening in, or signals are getting seriously crossed over somewhere, but I NEVER had this problem with my older iPhones. Just the 5S. Any updates would be really nice if Apple would be willing to chime in here, considering the research I found has shown that users on Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint are all having the same problems.
So it would seem as if it is an iPhone issue, not a carrier issue. Just my opinion.

We won't ask how..

There should be no "Dialing tone" as such...presuming we are meaning the same thing. The mute button on the side is responsible for the ringer/ringtone of the telephone. When someone calls you you can try using the volume button (side) to try and increse it...you can also try it through the settings of the iPhone:
Settings > Sounds >Ringer and Alerts slider.
When someone calls you and you accept the call the button on the side becomes responsible for the speaker volume whether it be the loud speaker or the ear speaker. When someone calls again you could try pressing the + button to increase the in ear volume.
Worth a shot. Please try this and let us know what happens.

Skype randomly goes offline during calls.

Hi, guys!
My skype randomly goes offline for no reason at all. One minute I'm talking to my friends, next minute I'm not. This is really annoying and I really want it fixed!! In most cases, Skype will go offline at around 12 seconds to 30mins during the call. My internet disconnects but I can still surf the web. Please fix this immediatly because this so so annoying. PLEASE HELP!! THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE I COULD THINK OF!!!

You can uninstall current version of Skype from the control Panel and you can install Special Version.
http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-sse
and disable automatic updating of Skype.
In Skype, Tools >> Options >> Advanced >> Automatic updates >> Click on Turn off automatic updates >> Save Changes.

Loud, Random White Noise during call

Hello all
When I am making a video call with someone, an extremely loud sound of white noise occurs during the call.
It occurs on my side only, and the other person cannot hear the sound. It does not matter if I initiated the call or not. It also happens at random times and with or without video. Just all of a sudden, I will get an extremely loud noise...like television static.
I am at my wits' end because this has been happening for the past 2 weeks for every call I make.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I am struggling with this issue for quite a while now, I was wondering whether there is any solution as of now. I have seen this problem with several notebooks (One Lenovo, one Dell, one MacBook Pro, two Vaio's). It's been an issue under MacOS, Windows and Linux alike. The only (very temporary) fix is muting my machine and resetting. Is there any solution as of yet? Is there anything I can do besides use an earpiece? I'd like to be able to use my notebook mic and speakers , since that's what they were designed for. (Other VoIP software works without the white noise issues, so I am pretty sure it's not a hardware problem)

Skype Ads Randomly Playing Sounds During Calls

I've been having random sounds play while in meetings and realized it was due to Skype ads on the homescreen. The sounds are can be music or some random ad-voice. I've managed to make it stop temporarily by clicking "Home" button. However, this nusance persistantly occurs. This is extremely annoying and embarassing as a majority of my Skype calls are business related. I've read several existing threads (most archived) and nothing has provided any real help in resolving this. I'd like to know if Other Skype Users are encountering this irritating issue, and/orHow do i prevent sounds eminanting from Skype ads randomly playing at will?? This is pretty awful UX Skype folks. ::

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Sorry to hear about the Skype ad playing audio by itself. Can you share a screenshot of the ad which would help us identifying the actualy ad? Do you see the ad on top of the conversation window or in the Skype Home screen that is shown when you don't have a conversation opened?
Finally can you let us know which country you are located in? I dont know what ad it was - it has two guys in the image. I never pay attention to skype ads. The ad sounds play from both the homescreen and the in call screens. For me it's happening more often from ads on the homescreen. When I'm not on a call the sound randomly plays. When i realize its from the homescreen, i click the homescreen button and the ad sound stops and refreshes so I really have no idea what ad this is. SUGGESTION: What makes more sense to me is providing users with an option to permanenly turn off ad sounds for ALL ads. Me personally: I don't want to keep coming here to these forums to complain about different ads making different sounds - further deeping this awful UX experience. One universal - turn ad sounds off solution seems the most logical. It be easier for folks there to dev and include that option rather troubleshooting these types of issues on a per-ad basis. I'm located in the US.

Muting, keypad etc during calls

When talking on the iPhone I am always muting or pressing the keypad etc. On accident just by touching the phone to my cheek or ear. It is very frustrating and so sensitive to the lightest touch. Any thoughts?

No as I specified in my original post the minute alert is shut off. Also the touchscreen is black and inert while on the phone so I don't think its my cheek. I also make sure not to touch any of the physical buttons on the phone.

8120 turning off randomly during call

Got new 8120 from Orange UK - works great apart from randomly turning itself off - have read posts with similar problem but on my phone the problem only occurs during calls with annoying frequency ! Tried wiping phone and re-installing OS but didn't work. Any advice greatly appreciated.

If you've wiped/reinstalled OS there may not be much left that can cause it - are you running the latest version of firmware on the device?
Might be worthwhile to call Orange tech support and see if they have encountered any known issues and have any fixes or if it could be a device or possibly even a network issue (but I doubt it would be that).

Connection tone change to music during call transfer, how ?

Dear all,
I have a Unity express 6 with IVR license connects to Call Manager version 5,
and I have a AA script within the unity express 6 and works fine.
However, I want to change the connection tone to music.
For example:
Call in --> press 1 for sales, press 2 for support.
During call transfer user will hear do..do..do..
But I want Music instead of do..do..do..
Can I program on Cisco Unity Express Editor, and what step do I need ?
Can I change the ringback.wav file in call manager ?
Can I use other methond ?
Many thanks.

IPhone 4 Mic & Speaker not Working during Call

Hello All,
I have iphone 4 and it was locked on at&t and was running ios 5.0.1, now i have unlocked my iphone and now i am using ios 5.1.1. But i have a problem, when i call someone i cant hear anything "no dial tone sound and no sound during call" & speaker mode is also not working and nor the person cant hear my voice. I also tested on my another phone but same problem.....
So can you tell me is this a hardware problem or software problem ?? and yeah i can record voice memos and i can listen my memos with speaker on and off
Waiting for reply....

Do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide:
1. Reset iPhone (no data loss): Press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Restore in iTunes using a backup
3. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup.
If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure.

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.

Erratic Volume Output From Speakers (App notifications, keypad tones, Ringing Volume)

Just purchased a Z1 over the weekend and was happily fumbling with the new phone. Got it updated to the latest 4.4.2 as well.
Noticed a glaring problem with the volume output from the speakers.
During use of instant messaging apps like Whatsapp and LINE, notification tones come in at times at the level that i set it at (max) and sometimes they come in really soft, to the extent i can't even hear them and sometimes none at all. All these happening when i've set the volumes to MAX on each of the available options under settings>sound>volume. Might i also add that the volume for notifications is really too soft even at MAX.
I'm not sure if this is happening due to the updating of the software or it was already an issue prior to the update. I've seen a couple of posts online where some users are experiencing the same erratic behavior of the internal speakers.
I hope someone can shed some light on this so we don't judge too quickly on an otherwise excellent phone.

I have the problem with my xperia Z1 speaker and ear phone not detect after update 4.4.2 in kitkat version.
phone purchasing date : 28.02.2014
Before update my Z1 runing in 4.3 jelly bean and phone is working properly....i have only one issue in 4.3 during call accept automatically call going in speaker.
1 Problem after update 4.4.2 kitkat version sometimes movies app playing video song but voice is not out from phone speaker and song voice playing in ear speaker then i press play/pause button in movies app then song voice play in phone speaker
2 Problem i connect my ear phone in my Z1 and phone is not detect ear phone i play the song in walkman app so song voice is out from phone speaker and not lising voice in ear phone then i restart my phone ear phone is working properly.

No volume during calls and music

I am unable to hear any volume at all during calls - both via the handset speaker and on speakerphone. I also can not hear music when played through the speakers. I have checked that the volume is turned up full. However, I am still able to hear alarms, ringtones and notification tones. I'm hoping that this is some sort of software issue. Is there any way this can be fixed?

Hi jb15, welcome to the community!
Did you check volumes under Settings > Sound & notification?
Also, if you press the volume up key, is the phone set to Silent, Priority or Sound?

Recipient's voice is not audible during call

Since yesterday, I am unable to hear the voice of the recipient/ caller in case of incoming/outgoing calls. I am able to hear the songs, default tones etc in the phone, only problem is during call time. What should I do?

You are aware that there is a separate volume level for in-call, right? Did you try altering the volume level while talking to someone? You can set the in-call volume between 0 and 10.
If this does not help, please let us know:
1) phone model
2) Windows Phone version
3) Firmware version
4) carrier/operator name
