This is an issue that has affected my Nexus 4 since I purchased it two years ago. It makes nearly all third-party voice apps unusable. I have not been able use SIP dialers or Skype without the other side hearing echoes. I even considered buying the Nexus 5 just to resolve this issue, but I'm not sure if there are any fatal flaws affecting that phone which won't be resolved either.

CSipSimple's pretty bad on the 5, but Hangouts works okay as long as you don't enable OK Google Everywhere. I doubt the camera-reboot issue on the 4 will ever get fixed, either.

    That is one sad thread. Very embarrassing for Google that they don't seem able to respond and to resolve such issues.

my nexus 4 voice craps out for random reasons. I have to factory reset my phone every 2-3 days. I've even tried building my own rom, examining logcat to no avail, using Cyanogenmod, using Paranoid Android doesn't matter voice cuts out at seemingly random intervals. Damn you LG

  Having to factory reset every 2-3 days sounds really terrible. You should just get another phone (or go over to the "dark side" of "everything-just-works" iPhones :P).

  Same here. Finally I trash the crap Nexus and bought a second hand iPhone4 (2010). Works like a charm.

  There's a bug in the system somewhere breaking voice calls altogether on the Nexus 4 which is apparently triggered by a recent change to Google Play Services. Mostly the people affected are using third party ROMs (CyanogenMod et al), but I believe it's also affecting some stock devices. Might be the same problem? Right now it's a choice between having a working phone with only partially functioning Google Apps or working Google Apps with the phone not being, well, a phone. Hopefully the CM crowd will be able to come up with a bugfix / workaround of some sort that doesn't involve stopping half the Google Apps from working properly. (CM bug: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-5728 https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-5728 )

    Android 5.0.1 seems to have fixed the problem, using factory image will build my own image later to test again
