Hi everyone. Issue with zenfone for months so it can't really be used as a phone which is an issue. It doesn't always do it, but frequently when I call someone, they can only hear every 1 out of about every 3 words I'm saying and say the sound seems to be dropping in and out. I can hear them perfectly.
Not a sim issue (sim works ok in another phone.) Not a reception issue. (Happens when phone saying reception is good.) Mic seems ok when recording voice locally so I don't think it's a hardware issue with the mic.
Did a factory reset and it seemed to fix the problem for about a week then recurred.
Have been in contact with ASUS support who have been worse than useless for every problem I've had with this phone (it's had a number of issues.) Unfortunately it was a week out of warranty so only option is to send it in, pay about $200 in postage and fees so they can look at it and may or may not be able to fix it (for extra costs), and won't have a phone for at least a month so not really an option. If I can't fix it (sounds like a software issue?) I'll need to replace it (with a non Asus phone, this one's been a disaster.)
Has anyone had a similar issue or can offer a suggestion? Would be very appreciated.
