LG Ally Call problems

[aholmes1991]

Alright, so here's the deal.

I got my Lg Ally last july and recently when someone calls, my phone picks up by itself, and I can't hear anything the other person says. Evidently, they can hear me fine though. I tried calling my voice mail, and again, I couldn't hear anything, no ringing etc. I can't put it on speakerphone either, so I don't think it has anything to do with the speakers. I've also tried turning on and off my phone, and taking the battery out of it for a few minutes. Any help would be most appreciated.

WOOT! Found a solution!

LG Ally: Sound only works (media and calls namely) with headphones. (Solution) - Verizon Wireless Community

Turns out I could use headphones to hear the other side, and then cleaning out the jack worked to resolve the problem.

Glad you found a solution. Assurion replaced my daughters Ally with this exact same issue. They told me it was a very common defect. They need to read your post

A lot of Android phones are having this issue. Try this app and see if it works. The Pro version lets you route sound during phone calls too!
