I Can’t Be Heard for 5 Seconds on Calls with My OnePlus

I’ve had it with my OnePlus phone. Every time I make or receive a call, the person on the other end can’t hear me for the first five seconds. This happens consistently, and no setting or update has fixed it. It's unbelievably frustrating—especially when I’m on important calls. And that’s not the only issue. Most of the apps I use—like Shazam, Instagram, and sleep tracking apps—can’t access my microphone properly. I keep getting microphone errors, and even voice recordings fail or don’t register sound.

I can’t believe I’m dealing with this on a phone that was supposed to be reliable. Even the cheapest phone I’ve owned didn’t give me this kind of trouble. Worst of all, I can’t even find a decent case for this model—it’s like OnePlus has completely neglected user support.

I’m asking OnePlus to finally acknowledge this issue and release a real fix. I shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to make a basic call or use simple apps. For the price I paid, this kind of ongoing problem is unacceptable.
