Carrier Caller can't hear me

Pinkstiletto66 said:
It happens when I am talking without any headphones. I'm on T-Mobile using Verizon phone. I updated again last night and updated carrier settings today, I believe that's what the pop up showed. I'll try making some calls in the same spot as elsewhere to see what happens. Most of the time it's during unplanned important (needing me to repeat numbers or other pertinent details) calls so go figure.

So does that still apply on T-Mobile using the Qualcomm phone?

I'm trying to figure out if the GSM only phone would have been better. I did ask the guy before I purchased if it would perform the same as GSM only. I was just expecting better wall penetration and an extra option for CDMA only if I needed to sell or possibly switch over.

Sorry, somehow I was under impression that this was in relation to a carrier like Verizon or Sprint where that kind of thing as far as simultaneous voice and data can make a difference. In case of GSM carriers even without LTE you can generally have voice and data at the same time. LTE basically just improves data and voice (if it's used for data and voice), or just data (if it's used for data only).

Having extra CDMA support shouldn't really make a difference as far as how well GSM performs or anything like that. Now the chipset/modem itself can certainly play a difference since one is from Intel and the other is from Qualcomm (when it comes to iPhone 7 line of phones).

To summarize: It sounds like there are a few AT&T users, a Verizon user, and a T-Mobile user that are having intermittent voice problems with VoLTE (HD VoLTE) turned on, and turning it off fixes the voice dropouts. Correct?

So far it seems to have worked for me. Although I don't like having to turn off a feature to make something work.

I totally agree. I am using a 5S, and it doesn't support VoLTE. I have been saving $$$ and waiting for a new phone that supports VoLTE.

I'm with AT&T, and considering a switch to Verizon. It seems like none of the carriers are up to the task of providing VoLTE without hiccups - or more hiccups than currently exist with 3G technologies. I love simultaneous voice and data, and higher quality voice would be great. I'm not sure which carrier (Verizon or AT&T) or what to do at this point in time...

I'm having a terrible problem with this I was on the phone for 30 minutes yesterday and the phone cut out like 10 times. I gave up in the end.

Going to the Apple Store now
 
Keep in mind that while most ATT iPhones have the Intel modem, not all do. My ATT is a Qualcomm (1661) and it does seem to have poor sound to the person on the other end. It is hard to say if it is due to a weak cell signal at home, but I always hear them fine. When using my cars BT it seems to sound fine also.
I just realized last night that my Wi-Fi calling was disabled, so I plan to do some further testing today.

Thanks for sharing this as I have crackling when it's someone with bass talking to me via the receiver. I'm going to bite the bullet and remove my prestine glass protector eventually. I did the memo test and didn't get any crackle however my voice has no bass but I did try and talk loud. will test around. Will test with some music perhaps. This is a separate issue but an issue I too am experiencing since I bought the phone.

It mentions it's a service issue if there is no crackling during the memo test and today I noticed things (internet) are taking slower to load since the update from yesterday. I did a Speedtest earlier and the results were pretty good but loading something really basic was taking so long like the opposite of the speedtest results. So for now I'm testing two things, the crackle during heavy bass calls, and connection in and out. Hardware, software or both ??

Anyone ever get a fix for this? My 7+ also has the crackling and I am inaudible to any callers.

No. My husband and I both have 7+ on AT&T and have long had this problem on many but not all of the calls we make from our iPhones. He uses his AirPods to get around it. I use my Samsung S8+ to make calls.

Some phone cases seem to make the problem much worse.

I had a similar problem with my sprint iPhone 7 ( on both my wife's phone and mine). After reading every thread I could on every site I could find, I found two suggestions that I tired and one or both fixed the issue. I turned off both Phone noise cancellation and Calls on Other Devices. Since I made that change, I haven't had a problem on either phone.

Thanks! I just turned off Calls on Other Devices. I couldn't find the setting for Noise cancellation though. I'll go look that up.
