What a disappointment

[charliefromflorida]

Just received my new G8 thinq unlocked from amazon yesterday. Spent all evening setting it up with apps and notifications etc. After all that I tried out some test calls and what do you know NO SOUND FROM THE EARPIECE. Looked through all the settings to make sure I didn't have something muted or turned down and could find nothing. Did a Google search to see if others had this problem and didn't find anything. The only way I could hear sound on calls was to turn on the speakerphone. I finally came to the conclusion that I had a defective phone and jumped on Amazon to get a replacement. Amazon is sending a replacement and it will be here tomorrow. You can bet the 1st thing I check is the earpiece sound. It is disappointing that a phone of this quality had such a basic thing wrong with it. I am still wondering if I missed some king of setting.

The G8 doesn't have an earpiece.... The whole screen is a speaker that acts as an earpiece. Did you miss that part? That's why you can't find it and why it doesn't sound good and is muffled sounding. I personally hated it and returned it.

The only way I heard any sound while making or receiving a call was when I tapped the speakerphone icon.

BTW I am the same person that posted the original note.

All my outgoing calls say "Outgoing RTT call" although the rtt setting is turned off. Is this normal? Brand new G8 thinq user here.
