Phone call sounds garbled and robotic
Every so often, maybe about once or twice a week, I will encounter this problem where I will make or receive a phone call and the call will sound garbled in general, but voices will sound robotic...
I haven't encountered it for a about a week; it had been a few days since it last happened when I posted the original question. As for the questions posted above, I haven't been able to figure out a pattern. The few times it had happened I was driving and my phone was connected to my car via bluetooth. I was in different locations, only separated by a few miles, and with high coverage. In two instances it occurred while connecting to a mobile phone not on the T-mobile network and another time it occurred while connecting to a land-line.
I've been unable to reproduce the problem consistently, and since it has only happened while in my car, I usually just stop trying to make the call until I can restart the phone. I can try airplane mode next time it occurs. Come to think of it, may it be possible that something in my car is messing with my signal? I've noticed the GPS has issues finding my location and updating while doing direction, but I just figured it was the device itself.
There are no metal roofs or buildings, the problem exits in my back yard, front yard, driveway, near my house and in the house, except when I have WiFi connected to my phone. WiFi does not reach outside the house. I am paying T mob every month for a very poor reception. I pay separately for my internet (WiFi access. My neighborhood is low income, but wealthy enough to have cellphones. We are in Saint Paul, the capital of MN. I am guessing the problem is too many people on too few cell towers.
