i think the galaxy nexus with the turd sandwich is close to being a “lemon” product with a massive recall, the phone has so many problems, this mute noise, audible tone, happening during calls is just the latest of dozens of quirks

my gf and i bought his and her g-nex’s. 4.0.2 verizon, and we are SO SORRY, on a terrible speaker phone call with her now, might as well be in my pocket for call quality, the software bugs, sms, mail, web, camera, keyboard lag, weird justification issues that reduce emails to a single stacked character, random unpredictable fails and reboots in middle of calls, apostrophes causing jumbled text in html mail, ringer and alerts that lower themselves, hmmm what else of the top of my mind? TOO MANY BUGS TO LIST

Just let me know whether the paperweight on my nightstand will be usable as a phone… Will this 4.0.5 update fix the “hello? hello?” issue where the other person on a call can’t hear me? Otherwise, this update still won’t let me use the GN as a phone.

This mic issue too is my only problem. It is so lame. We should rename it the “Hello, hello, hello” issue since that is the last thing I hear before I say “f*ck not again”. Other than that I love the phone. Stock then AOKP B31 ROM, 4.0.4 radio – changes did not fix it! Frustrating. It is a phone isn’t it. I did notice that many of the people reporting the issue hail from in and around Charlotte and so do I. I wonder if there is a pattern there and that it could be network or provision related.

See http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24019… there are people there using GSM devices.

Is it that the mic cuts out or is it that voice doesn’t get transmitted? The other end hears a series of ‘clicks’ then nothing. Not sure the mic would ‘click’ so much as other hardware/software…

YOURS might work, MINE does not. Again, I can’t have a two-way conversation using the device as a .. PHONE. What good is a phone that doesn’t let you have a conversation?

Verizon’s solution of sending me two other GNexus phones solved nothing as they both had the issue. I’m glad you don’t have the issue, but many of us do.

I, personally, don’t consider this issue as a bug so much as a failure. Your mileage may vary…

Yes, but a phone that can’t handle a two-way conversation is … useless to me. I had to buy another phone since it is my business connection to my clients. No refund from Samsung, nothing…
