LG v60 Thinkq (dual screen): Speakerphone cutting off

I bought 2 V60's on the bogo and both are having the same speakerphone issues.  It has happened maybe 3 or 4 times on on mine during conference calls but it has happened to my wife's phone more often.  I'm going to try the steps mentioned above and hopefully that fixes it.

As of just now, these are going back and we're getting the galaxy s20s instead.  Too bad...we really like the phones other than their defect.

Please let me know if this works.  Mine are reset and in their boxes ready to be sent back but I am holding out for a cure.  I think there is a better shot at a covid 19 vaccine happening first.

I asked him if he had anymore calls about this issue and he said yes. But he took them thru these steps and told them if they continue to have the issue to call back. And they haven't called back. He told me to do the same to call back if I have any issues.

Did he give you any information as to what was wrong and what this would do to correct it?  I have spoken to many people about this now and every one of them has said, this is the first I've heard about it. 

So I just got off the phone with lg and he walked me through these steps:

1. Go to settings

2. Apps, then app info

3. Press the 3 dots in the top right corner select show system

4. Scroll down and select call screen

5. Select storage then clear data

6. Go back and select force stop

7. Go back and select call services

8. Select storage and then clear data.

9. Reboot phone

I don't know if it fixes the issue but its worth a shot.

If you contact LG, they will tell you it's a carrier issues.  If you contact T-mobile (or verizon), they will tell you it's an LG issue.  These phones are defective and no one will even look at it.

I also have this problem. Not sure who to contact lg or tmobile.

I am also having this issue on 2 devices on T-mobile.

I believe it is an LG issue.  Verizon customers have the same issue.

It happens with and without dual screen. It happens regardless of the carrier, regardless of if its on wifi or cell. It just happens...and no one is addressing it. LG send you back to your provider, in this case, T-mobile and T-mobile is clueless.

If that is the case then it's a manufacturer problem.  Carriers don't touch code like people think they do since the days of BREW.  OEMs in general pass the buck to carriers because it's easier to do.  Of course T-Mobile will be clueless because it's not their code, and the device wasn't made by them.

A long time ago JBQ(Former Android developer for Google) did an Source project with Sony.  What he found out carriers are less involved that it is lead to believe.  The biggest delay was actually licensing agreement and government involvement like FCC for example.  Carriers often took no longer than a month while FCC could take up to 6 months.  During that time Android began going modular which allowed in early development to allow OEMs to send certain portions to governing bodies to run tests at the early infancy of the code. 

It's not only on incoming calls, though.

Honestly if it happens without the accessory then it's an accessory problem and not a carrier problem. 

I have 2 as well.  Well actually 4.  I returned the first 2 and have the brand new replacements.  All 4 have the muting problem.  Her is what I have found out.  It happens on incoming calls when using speakerphone.  Usually just before the one minute Mark.  I tried with no luck the following.  Turned off Bluetooth.  Turned off WiFi. Turned off permissions for other apps requesting microphone permission.  Spent 1 hour on phone with LG only for them to say that since it is only on incoming calls it is a tmobile issue.  Tmobile has no clue.  So now I am left with the option to cancel the purchase which I hate to do because the 2 for 1 deal is over and otherwise love the phone but it is not usable.  My thougts are that it is tied into  volte but there is no way to turn it off.  Can choose 2g but if that is the fix I am out.  Any help or input would be appreciated.
