    Seriously considering Samsung 10 x+ when it comes out

    According to a technician at Verizon, he looked on Google's system (they must have some type of access to see issues) and said that he found ONE of these issues there, and it was corrected with a new SIM card with the existing Pixel 3. I find it a bit fishy...the amount of people having the...

    Seriously considering Samsung 10 x+ when it comes out

    My wife experienced the known issue on the Pixel 3 (where people can't hear you talking on a call)...and we got Verizon to replace it with a Samsung Galaxy S9. No issues with the S9, in fact, she likes it even more than the Pixel 3...

    Problem with Call Recipient Not Hearing Me?

    Yeah, I would return it...you are still within the 14 day window. My wife said she actually likes the Samsung Galaxy S9 even more than the Pixel 3.

    I would HOPE Google will be fixing it, but my wife couldn't wait for it, and I don't blame her. She uses her phone for work and we've recently got rid of our landline home phone, so she uses her cell even more these past few months.

    Yep...exactly what my wife was experiencing. So far, she's had no problems using the Samsung Galaxy S9.

    Problem with Call Recipient Not Hearing Me?

    So, the other Pixel 3 they sent me had the same issue. I called Verizon and they agreed to send me out a Samsung Galaxy S9 (no charge). I sent the Pixel 3 back today and she's up and running on the S9. Over the weekend, we saw her brother and he asked "How is the Pixel 3 doing?" He has one...

    So, it started happening again. I just called Verizon and they are sending out another Pixel 3. If it happens again, I am hoping they will allow me to get a Samsung S9. We'll see what happens.

    Problem with Call Recipient Not Hearing Me?

    So my wife traveled this past week...with the new sim card/wiped device procedure. All was good. But, not that she's back at home, we'll see now if the symptoms continue.

    Problem with Call Recipient Not Hearing Me?

    So....my wife experienced the issue even with Wifi calling turned on. I just got a new sim card, did a factory reset, activated the sim and setup her Pixel 3 again today. We'll see if this corrects the issue.

    Problem with Call Recipient Not Hearing Me?

    We haven't yet replaced the SIM card and done a reset on the device. However, my wife turned on Wifi calling. That seemed to help the issue. Looks like something with the connection to the cellular network being iffy...so it tries to use the LTE data connection, which causes the issue I...

    So I spoke to a Verizon Level 2 tech. He said that Google is recommending a new sim card and wiping the device. I am going to try that, and if it doesn't work, we'll take it further.

    Problem with Call Recipient Not Hearing Me?

    My wife has been experiencing the same issue with her Pixel 3. So, there is a known issue where the phone, by default, uses the LTE data network to improve calling. This is causing the issue. So, you can turn it off. Settings>Network and Internet>Mobile Network>Turn off "Advanced Calling"...
