Call issues - Moto Z2 Force Questions & Answers

Hey guys, I have a Moto z2 force with tmo. I've noticed some issues with normal calling, sometime the other party can't hear me and I don't know why this is. Any ideas?

Weird, I've never had any call issues. You're not accidentally covering the microphone by the fingerprint sensor are you? Any cases/screen protectors that could be doing so?

My screen cover is near the edge of the mic hole, but doesn't obstruct it. It's very random and the only issue I've had. Other than that I like the phone. It did do this a few times without the screen cover tho. FYI.

Do you have any apps installed for call recording? I just had the same problem and had to uninstall the app before my mic would work in calls.

I'm having the same problem but it only occurs when my WiFi is on. I have a recording app, Cube ACR. I don't understand why it would only cause problems when WiFi is on since I have WiFi calling disabled. I will try uninstalling the app and see if I still have the issues of people not being able to hear me.

I've gotten this too. Oddly enough, it only seems to happen when the person on the line is running a Samsung galaxy S7. I think the modem may have some bugs to work out.

No call issues with either of my devices.
My oddity is that I can only get LTE on band 4. I get no lte signal on any other channel, even though we have band 12 expansion.

i just upgraded mine to Oreo and now i have this problem where the other party that calls me cant hear me, oddly enough it only happens when my wife calls and she has a Galaxy S7. when my daughter calls me from her iphone its fine
but....the issue is with VoLTE. if you turn that off, then no problem...at least for me

T-Mobile Moto Z2 Force Oreo no Volte
This is a software issue Android 8.0.0 on the Moto Z2 Force. When I call my sister with a Samsung Galaxy S7 she can't hear me from my end of the call. I've had 4 replaced devices and still the same problem. I've made several complaints and it's being ignored people I'm definitely getting frustrated please report this.

This is a problem in Oreo and VoLTE. Perhaps that is why Oreo OTA was pulled. Doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Wait for a patch.

Lots of issues
Bullitt I have had 4 phones since 10/31/2017. First I was told a glitch in system caused by combining my bills. Then it was a speaker problem. Then a glitch again and now back to speaker. I just received my 4th phone. I'm still not sure if either are the problem but I do know it's annoying and inconvenient changing my info over again and again

VoLTE

I have posted on the T-Mobile support forums, Reddit, Lenovo support forums, I have called T-Mobile support, chatted with T-Force on Twitter, and tweeted to Neville Ray about this. T-Mobile is saying that updates are up to the manufacturer. Hopefully Lenovo is fixing this.

Yes, but only when the other end of the call is a T-Mobile S7/S7 Edge and the call is VoLTE.

Wow, thought I was the only one!
Only happens randomly with S7 users for me too.

Same problem when call a galaxy s7 edge of T-Mobile

I was having issues with my Moto Z2 related to Digits and I couldn't talk to my daughter because she couldn't hear me on her Galaxy S7 Edge. I totally got screwed but "upgraded" back to the S7 Edge like I had before and that was almost paid off. When I got my refurbished S7 Edge, now my husband, who still has the Moto Z2, can hear me but I can't hear him on my S7 Edge! It may be on the manufacturer to produce the update, but T-Mobile is the one who sold the phones to us. Paying now for service and phones that we can't use. It's absolutely ridiculous. I'm messaging T-Mobile over Twitter right now. If there isn't a solution, I'll be contacting our state attorney general to complain about them selling a product that isn't working.

I haven't had any call issues, but I don't know if I've called an s7 edge. Sounds like it could be a Sammy issue too.

I'm sure it was you who posted on the T-Mobile support forums earlier. I have spent hours with T-Force on Twitter etc. And was told what they told you - updates come from the manufacturer. However I believe that T-Mobile should be pressuring Lenovo to get this fixed ASAP. How long can it take to fix a problem that was just introduced? They could issue an update with the prior radio firmware and solve the problem. Z2 Force would still have Oreo, but the Nougat radio firmware.

Odd, I have Sprint variant and I have two friends with an S7 edge. One on Verizon and another on TMobile. I have had no issues hearing either one of them. Has to be an issue with T-Mobile only variant.

It only happens when using VoLTE. And Sprint doesn't have VoLTE.

3g/4g Drop calls

I have had my nexus for about 2 or 3 weeks, bought it from Google Play unlocked gsm for tmobile. When I am on the phone it will randomly switch from 4g to 3g and then proceeds to drop my call. Does anyone know a fix? Thanks
Also I am stock rooted on 4.1.1 and my baseband is UGLC1

I have the Verizon and have been having the same exact problem. The signal will randomly fully cut out on my phone for a short period of time and it's ridiculously obnoxious. Does no one else have this problem?
I contacted samsung and they don't want to replace my phone.. this really aggravates me!

Have you tried calling Google Nexus support directly? Since you just bought it, they should be able to help. When I had an issue with my phone, I called Google and they transferred me to Samsung for a warranty claim. Samsung reps did not speak English very well and basically told me to call Google back to troubleshoot. I called Google back and explained to them what Samsung said and the Google rep was adamant Samsung would have to honor my warranty. He offered to 3-way call with Samsung and explain to them the issue and why they should do a warranty claim for me. In the end, Samsung ended up agreeing to fix my phone, but I had to send it out to their Texas factory, which took about 4 weeks total to get it back. So, I would try calling Google and see what they have to say and maybe they can help talk to Samsung about repairing your Nexus.
Yes I contacted Google and they said the same thing.. I can't send this phone in because I don't have another phone I can use.. I put a new sim card in my phone, I'll post whether it works or not soon.
It's a device issue. I have the verizon one and it was suffering the same problem I had to send it to get another one and now its working phone with no data drops(knock on wood)

Any one have a fix or anything? Went back to 4.0.4 and still drops calls left and right..

dropping calls

Is anyone else on Verizon
Dropping calls.
I mean lots of calls
Thought it was because of root.
Not unrooted stock still drops calls.
Need to RMA before bootloader
Patch.
Thought maybe it could be my
Sim card acting up as sometimes I lose cell signal

It seems it's a common problem in Verizon, I'm not rooted. I even got a new SIM, it didn't help. Apparently the radio is having a hard time switching down to CDMA in poor LTE coverage areas. Lots of users reporting this in reddit. I'm hoping next maintenance release fixes this.
I haven't had any issues with mine *so far*.. rooted and on NDE63N

So another pixel, isn't going to fix this issue.

Same here, dropped calls that never happened with my Nexus 6. Google and Verizon had no real fix for me and didn't acknowledge it as a widespread issue.

Are you on Verizon? Have you used the phone on a car or train? Calls drop a lot when switching towers on Verizon.
Was on the phone with Verizon and Google.
They acknowledged this is a widespread issue.
Just be careful when the patch comes out that they don't sneak in a bootloader relock.
Or unrootable update, honestly I think this will be a fairly large update that contains some if not all of those fixes.

That's really good to hear, I called them a couple of weeks ago and they kept blaming each other so I gave up.

Same issue. I just got my replacement and it did the same thing. Also having a weird issue where the phone dialer is garbled (looks like missing portions of digits and letters).

There isn't going to be an update that relocks the bootloader. There never has been, and likely never will be. I'd imagine that the logistics behind it would be overly complicated for the minor benefit it would have for the carrier.

I mentioned this in another thread. Setup>more>network settings reset resolved my outgoing call issues as well as pickup and dropped call issues.
Ok, this is reassuring as I thought it was mine. The issue is pretty annoying. Good thing I haven't needed it in an emergency situation and it dropped on me. Crazy part is I thought wifi calling wouldn't be affected but I was wrong about that
I've been on Verizon for years and just when I got my Pixel is when I've had an issue with nearly every phone call. Not dropping but the caller suddenly cannot hear me like another reply mentioned. Seems it "might" be aligned with when a text or email comes in while I'm on the phone. Or it could be when I stray from the phone with my earpiece in. I hope they push a fix, it's the Pixel not Verizon.
Have ya'll tried turning on wifi calling? I live in a spotty area and this seems to help me. Make sure you also go to settings-wifi and click the settings wheel and activate the switch to cellular automatically. I also tried to activate aggressive switching on developer mode but it doesn't stick after a reboot.
I'm on Verizon, using Verizon Pixel, no issues at all with calls. Running NPF26J with radio and modem from NDE63X.

S9 Dropping calls

I have 2 Samsung S9's delivered to my company. When making calls, both phone users have reported that calls drop for 3-4 seconds and then return. This is happening on almost every call and sometimes, multiple times within a call.
The users are not moving around when making a call. They were both making successful calls with the same network (Vodafone UK) in same location on S8 phones the day before. They have independently both reported the call drop issue with the same symptons.
Anyone else experiencing this?
19th March - Tried a new Vodafone SIM but this did not fix the problem. Call dropped for 3-4 seconds, 3 times in a 10 minute call.
Yes! On both LTE/3g and wifi calling.
Unbranded phone direct from Samsung on Ee and Giffgaff (dual sim).
Hopefully next software update will fix
I have the same issue on voda UK. Actually emailed Samsung tonight requesting exchange or refund as I had not heard of anyone else with same issue
I have dual sim model but second sim is disabled as I only enable it in low coverage areas
Same here in Portugal. (Meo)

S9 and s9+ forums here.. I think android central and some other forums
I personally thinks its a software issue but I only kept the phone for a week
I used this site https://sndeep.info/en (select Samsung) and input the serial #'s on the back of the 2 x S9's with "call dropping / calls intermittently silent" issue - they were both Made in: Korea Year: 2018 Month: February
I've also had the same issue and I spend a lot of time on the phone. Having gone through the troublehsooting and ordering a new sim I still had the problem. A new software update was released yesterday, which I have installed. I've had severall calls since and so far no problems to report.
I am on Optus network in Australia and I have installed the latest update ARD1 available on my phone. I am still facing the issue and happens multiple number of times during a call. It happens during important conversations with clients and I miss bits and parts of the conversation which annoys everyone. Today it caused me huge loss as well. Samsung should be sued over and over for this. Has anyone found a solution? Kindly help. Thanks.

Thanks. I had the same problem with AldiMobile SIM (Telstra network) in my S9. Most of the cheap SIM providers in AU's are relegated to a subset of the better networks and had the S9 silence issue but after 8 weeks of intermittent silences, I moved to 100% Telstra SMS which fixed the issue for me without doing any firmware upgrades tho apparently the latest S9 firmware upgrade is supposed to have fixed the "intermittent silence" issue on all those cheap SIM providers services in Aus.... but I haven't had the patience to check.

S9 - Problems with Calls?

Hi.
I've got my S9 a week ago and I'm quite disappointed with the problems I'm having when I make or receive phone calls.
I would say that easily 60 or 70% of those calls I had problems in the middle of them because I couldn't ear the other party, although I could be heard.
Does anyone had similares issues?
Any solution to solve them?

I have reports from 2 users who have calls that drop for 3-4 seconds and the reconnect on a regular basis. Vodafone UK. Tried new SIM but that has not fixed it.
No issues with TMo in Fl.
Same problem. Dual sim version. When on a call the line goes silent for 4 or 5 seconds! Using a Three and Vodafone sim in the UK.
No problems so far using it with TMO in Puerto Rico.

i think there is a network stability issue with my phone. i have to reboot it 4-5 times a day and my old zte zmax pro gets a better signal then my s9 and that dont seem right. something is preventing it from sending and receiving a good signal even tho i have 4 bars.

Report it to samsung the more that report the issue the sooner it should get fixed
On a portuguese forum, several people reported the same problem I have.
During a call, the phone stops transmitting any sound for the other party for about 10 seconds...
People listen to me perfectly during that time, but I cannot ear anything. After those seconds, the phone call gets normal...
It's driving me mad!
Can confirm the above comment, a ton of portuguese people are complaining about this
s9+ call issue
my s9+ have call issue during the call too . (dual sim)
Samsung S9 problems during calls
Had my S9 64GB since 3rd march in the UK on EE and I have the same problem with periods of silence during calls, it is driving me mad as well. I have done the contact us on the phone where you upload a system log as soon as the fault occurs but so far I have had nothing back from Samsung regarding this issue. I also had a problem initially with the fingerprint sensor where it kept locking out but since I disabled the fingerprint gestures on the phone that seems to work fine now for lock screen.
I think the problem was reported also on Pocketnow Daily.
PS: I don't have this problem.

Same here with dual sim in Spain (tried with different sim from different companies).
Drop calls or simple silence
Got the Samsung galaxy s9 for the last 2 weeks intermittent problems with calls. When making calls for the first 20secs it just goes silent the other person can hear me but I cannot hear them. Sometimes this also happens mid call too, whereby after about 5 mins or so... It goes completely silent for 30secs and eventually either cuts me off or the call returns... Called Samsung UK not much help, obviously there is a fault somewhere , but for now Samsung are hiding.

Had the same problem with my S9 dual sim. Tried just using a single sim but problem persists. I contacted Samsung who were less than helpful. Denied they have any reports of this issue even though I told them about online forums reporting same issue. I have sent my phone back to Samsung who will send me a new replacement once they receive my phone back for inspection. I'm now worried that even a new S9 will have the exact same issue.
I'd rather Samsung just say they are aware of the issue and are working on a fix. It bugs me when they act like there's no issue. They wanted me to factory reset the phone to which I told them I'd only had the phone a week and spent a whole day setting.
Just gotta wait for the replacement phone now and hope they fix with a software update. They did offer a refund but I really want the phone (if I can make calls on it that is!)
The same issue with my 2 s9 plus phones. One sim version, Israel. Just hope that the problem is with soft and gonna be fixed with next update.
Today I went into a Samsung official suport centre and I was told exactly the same...they do not have any knowledge of problems regarding phone calls and S9.
They ran a series of tests concerning the phone's sensors and the test resulted that everything seemed OK.
But...it's not!
And I'm mad about this. Honestly I do not know if this is simply a software issue...
Ffs sake I've only used the phone for calls twice and both times the call just ended and I had to ring them back.

Anyone getting this email? "AT&T is shutting down our 3G network."

This phone nor my Wife's mate 10 pro use 3G so I am confused about this email.
Anyone else?
I received it as a text message on my Mate 20x in May. If this happens I may switch to Spectrum Cable mobile service which uses the Verizon network.

But these phones are not using 3G so i dont understand why they will block them
I got a text message today from AT&T saying "we're sending you a phone. if you don't activate it, we will auto activate it after 30 days and your phone you're using now will only be able to call 911"

But I haven't reached out to them about this text message.
But here is the list https://www.att.com/idpassets/images/support/wireless/Devices-Working-on-ATT-Network.pdf
Funny, SM-N975U1 which is NOT a 5g phone seems to be on the list of accepted phones. This is a very big bummer.
I'm gonna ride the wave and pretend I didnt' even get a phone from AT&T and see just how long I can keep using my Mate 20x here in the USA on ATT.
If only 16:9 or 16:10 phones would come back. But looks like lame kitkat phones are here to stay. :/

Funny you mention this as a week ago I stumbled upon a thread "boycotting" the slim "cigarette" phones possessing aspect ratios greater than 16:9. From what I had gathered from reading through user's complaints, about 97% favored the re-adoption of the classic wide AR of phones while disfavoring (with some expletives) these Malboro cigarette phones.
In my opinion, in order to please certain audiences (that would be us) phone companies should at least provide 2 phone flavors, slim and wide. Personally I wouldnt mind creating a fb campaign if you guys would like to join that protest.

I actually did 2 months ago when they just shut my phone off completely. Spoke with a cool rep who turned it back on.
But I haven't reached out to them about this text message.
But here is the list https://www.att.com/idpassets/images/support/wireless/Devices-Working-on-ATT-Network.pdf

My best advice to you if you really want your mate 20x to remain your keepsake is to swap networks to another gsm which would be a smart move by paying a similar price

Me too. I mean, if companies were smart, one could bring up at least one model 16:9 and have the whole market of people looking for that aspect ratio !

Ok guys I have created a facebook page. Keep in mind that this is the first time I have ever created a fb page regarding a company. Note also, I'm not a social media person so bear with me. That said, I strongly encourage suggestions as to how best to make it look right and communicate the right message to the company and our audience. It is still a work in progress. Please don't hesitate to add your opinions.
I need 24 likes on the fb page before I can add a username according to fb rules.
Let me know what you think!
Stop Samsung
Stop Samsung. 1 like. This is a campaign to compel Samsung Electronics to manufacture wide phones again. Unfortunately, today's narrow phones have replaced wide phones leaving consumers disappointed...
www.facebook.com
EDIT--
On the fb page the link is in chinese for some strange reason although I'm not chinese and reside in USA. If anyone here can suggest how to fix that do let me know. Thanks.
Hi guys. A few of you have reacted favorably to my fb page on urging samsung to resurrect the wide aspect ratio. However, I'm new to making fb pages. If you want to submit some ideas to me on how to reach a greater audience or enhance the page to convey our message better, please do so. Thank you.
Getting back to the initial point of this thread, my phone was turned off today by AT&T in the United States. I spoke with AT&T customer service. They indicated that even though the EVR-L29 is a 4G LTE phone, it handles voice calls over a 3G network. There is supposed to be a setting on the device to switch the phone to 4G LTE calling (VoLTE.) However, when I checked my settings, the switch was not there. I posted in another thread on XDA about this situation; but have not heard back. In the meantime, has anyone found a solution? I was told that all of these devices would be turned off permanently in February as the 3G network will be dismantled. I'm hoping to find a solution before then because I really don't want to let this phone go. Otherwise, are there any suggestions for other larger (7") screen phones that do 4G LTE calling on US bands supported by either AT&T or T-Mobile? Thanks.

What bothers me is that cricket, H2O, etc... Which are all on the AT&T network have not been told they need to get a LTE voice phone.
My parents are in cricket with OnePlus unlocked phones. My sister is in H2O.
Business as usual for carriers that use AT&T towers so what the **** is going on at AT&T?

The sad thing is that when I tested a TMobile sim card the option to switch to VoLTE shows up!

Really? If that's the case, I will simply switch to T Mo. I have no allegiance to a carrier.

Yeah I was going to do that but then my wife wanted to upgrade phones and I kind of wanted the better cameras of the S21 Ultra. Plus I never felt the Mate 20x was that big anyway (compared to what I had before). Still hoping for the return of the 16:10 phones one day or better foldable ones
Anyway, at least at this time, I dont see a problem with Tmobile and the Mate 20x.
