Hello problem with my eris

[kalelgoeswireless]

have had it for a couple months now no issues until about a week ago? For some reason whenever i call anyone they can not hear me but i can hear them? has anyone else experienced this? If so can you help me find a solution?

Are you running the original 1.5, or have you installed one of the leaked 2.1 versions?

the original.

 

[Frisco]

The reason I asked is that bug was reported as happening with the leaked 2.1 versions.

I do not recall seeing a real solution, either.

I'm running 1.5, purchased in January, and have not had that, or any problem with the phone.

I could be mistaken; it is possible that the "silent caller" issue has cropped up in the original OS, as well as the leaks.

If you are getting that problem on the original 1.5 OS, then take the phone back. The problem will most likely follow you to whatever OS version you have as it has done for others. The phone is still under warranty and there should be no problem giving you another one.

I have only heard one person say that they are having it.

FYI, this is different from the sound bug in 2.1. OP is saying that he can hear audio from the phone, but his microphone is not working. I agree with others, though, take the phone to Verizon.

It's reported a couple more times at the droid-eris.com forums by users of the leaks.

Sorry, I meant one person that is running 1.5 that has it.

Hmm.. it's stuff like that which make me really wonder about the Eris I purchased; I have seen bugs and lag and several issues reported about these phones (1.5) that are just not happening with mine at all. That stupid text-count applet in the text-field is about it, and that's a "feature."

Did I get the only one that was built with enough precision to function as it should be functioning?

I often wonder that myself. I don't run into most of the problems that others talk about either. I have had a little dialer lag here or there and the 50% WOS bug, but nothing else. My phone runs very well.

How was it before the leaks? Or are you putting the leaks on your girl's Eris and keeping the solid 1.5 for yourself?

 

[thenestor]

I think we're all using the same hardware version (002), so I bet it all has to do with the differences in the way we use our phones. Different apps, different phone habits, different bluetooth/wifi use, different Facebook accounts, different email use, etc.

LMAO! She won't let me touch her's. I believe her exact words where:

"Keep your psycho techie mitts off my phone!"

No, everything I've done has been to my own phone. Mine has worked fine from the beginning, I just keep looking for more features.

This particular problem...well and the opposite "leak bug" also being mentioned can be network issues too. I havent had either problem on my eris yet but have experianced it on the Storm, and all of my previous phones (ax 830, pearl flip, wifes pearl, etc etc) from time to time.
I'm not saying there isnt a glitch in 2.1 or android software that can cause it occasionally but its very possible many of the "reports" are false alarms and vzw's network is at fault not the phone or software.

I, too, rarely have problems with my phone. The few times I've had the "no audio" issue were when I was standing too near my car. The phone was still talkin' bluetooth, but I was stupidly holding the phone to my ear and wondering why there was no audio. No harm done except to my pride!

Ha ha, I've totally done that one too.

Sometimes they can hear me but I can't hear them. Sometimes it's the other way around. And sometimes it's both. You just bend over, close your eyes and say "surprise me" and most of the time, no one will hear you.

 

[badfrog]

ok, my phone started this today. the mic isn't working at all, tried using voice recorder to verify it. using the v3 leak.

 

[Frisco]

My girl said:

"Keep your psycho techie mitts off my phone!"

Well, do a Jacko; where only one. So cool, she'll let you do anything to her Eris you want to do. I mean

 

[Rossco_Pee]

I had this happen to me as well. Make sure your TTY service is OFF. If it is on, you won't be able to hear the caller unless it's on speaker phone.

reverse problem... they can't hear you, you can hear them fine.

 

[smfoley1]

Not sure if this Is the same issue, but every now and then when I make a call I don't hear the line ringing. I called my landline and it rings. Can't here it on the cell. If I answer the landline I can't hear anything I'm saying on either phone. Only way I have been able fix it is to remove the battery. Oh I'm running 2.1 v2

Is this really a problem with the phone and maybe not be a problem with cell towers or something. I have yet to have this problem with my eris. (well actually I think i had it once and I am running 1.5 still) But I would have it from time to time on my Chocolate V1, and V2 and whatever phone it was that I had prior to that.. Motorola flip (old no color screen days)

I always chalked it up to being in a dead zone, or almost dead zone...

scroll up read post #19. if it were tower based, why would my voice recorder not work?


problem was apparently something stuck in the mic hole, which they blew out with compressed air, once I corrected them from trying to clean the lanyard hole.
