Just got my Incredible and love it. I charged it up last night for the second time. Turned it on this morning and all looked good. Received a call this morning and I could hear the caller but they could not hear me. Several more incoming calls and the same issue. Then I made some calls...I could hear the person but they could not hear me. Finally turned phone off and back on and it is now fine. Mute was not on.....anyone know what this could be? Thanks

im starting to believe this is an HTC hardware issue. people that have loaded unapproved roms and rooted there device have noticed this issue. some believe it was brought to light with the new rom being loaded on. the rom trigger the hardware issue. i would take it back NOW!

I've had this problem before too. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who has had this problem. It has happened to me twice. At first I thought it was just a fluke because after the reboot it was a couple weeks before it happened again. But from looking at this it appears like this is a hardware issue so I'll be going to a VZ store ASAP.

Happened to me today too. I called someone and I could hear them, but they could not hear me. There was a high pitched buzzing noise when the call connected. I tried the call a 2nd time - same thing. I rebooted my phone, and the problem went away. I had just come back from a party about 1.5 hours away, through some areas with poor coverage. I'm pretty sure that my phone rebooted itself on the drive - and it got hot at one point just randomly after some texts and using Google Map. Ever since I rebooted, it's acting totally normal.

The first time I tried to use phone after activation this happened. After freaking a bit, resetting fixed it entirely. Have not had the problem since, yet. Had a separate problem where you hear a high pitched whiny noise on calls happen once a few days ago after I had reset the phone, another reset cured it.

Long as it doesn't get worse, I am not too worried about it. I'm not seeing anyone mention it happen with increasing frequency?
