I'm having this problem, nobody is able to listen to me when they call me, but I can hear them loud and clear.
At first I thought it was a hardware related thing, but when I make skype calls, everything is alright and I'm able to record voice or music, so the hardware microphone is actually fine.
So I think is a software related think, but I'm unsure wheather is a ROM related thing or are some other programs I installed.
Regarding ROMs, I used Tai's v21 edition but I changed back to the old reliable Josh v15 ROM which I was using before with no problems, but now I have this problem too.
So I narrowed the problem down to installed software, and my best bets are skype itself and Audioroute.
I wonder if you are able to make any mobile test call here in London (I'm using 3uk network) so I won't spend all my mobile call minutes testing whether the phone is working or not again?
Thanks in advance
Have you tried the stock rom? Or are you loading a different dialer?
I haven't seen that issue.
I did some testing of video chat apps today with some fairly unfortunate results. Here they are:
1) Skype
--Video: Excellent
--Audio: Excellent, but some cases of no audio when making phone to phone calls.
--Bluetooth headset support: Yes
2) Qik from TMO
--Video: Very good
--Audio: Very good
--Bluetooth headset support: No
3) Yahoo Messenger
--Video: Very good
--Audio: Excellent
--Bluetooth headset support: No
4) OoVoo
--Video: Not tested yet on SGS2, but generally gave me problems on EVO 4G.
--Audio: Not tested yet on SGS2, but generally gave me problems on EVO 4G.
--Bluetooth headset support: No
5) Tango
--Video: Not tested yet on SGS2, but worked fine on EVO 4G.
--Audio: Not tested yet on SGS2, but worked fine on EVO 4G.
--Bluetooth headset support: No
I really don't like video chatting in public or work with the speaker phone blasting to everyone around. So having some kind of headset support is required for me. But it seems like only Skype has it, but neither of us have been able to hear audio on Skype calls on the SGS2. Has anyone gotten it working? or do you know of another video chat app that works on the SGS2 and has BT headset support?
Skype works great for me, it's actually the only one that I can actually have a conversation with, I've tried everything else Tango, Qik, Fring etc and they all cut out I can't ever hold an actual conversation, Skype is awesome I can hear them perfectly and there's almost zero delay!
Skype works fine with me....high quality video n audio.
Tmo Galaxy S2
I tested tango and skype and working very good but my personal opinion tango work much better in my samsung hercules
In my experience so far Skype is working best stock and rooted.

Honestly all we need is the video capability on the phone apk like the international version without the need of an app. If anyone got that working that would be the first time ill donate... Lol

Its not really any different than using an app. Its just the phone software is integrating with an application. No different then who the mytouch 4g had integration with qik video calling. It doesn't really mean its going to work better or worst than before. We just need the developers to make their apps more universal and better programmed for video chat.

I tried some more Skype calls. I had extremely good success from my phone to Skype on the PC. Even internationally. The person I called remarked how great the FFC video looked (better than my PC webcam).
The sound was very good on both sides when using my Samsung included wired headset. The noise canceling on Skype with the loud speaker used for audio was also quite good! I think that it gets worse with a slower connection though.
I need to try some more Skype phone to phone calls with Bluetooth over 4G to see if I can figure out what the problem was the other day.
Just got the Samsung Galaxy S3 for T-mobile and have been experiencing a few strange issues with general call quality. About 2 or 3 mins into a call via wifi-calling, sound from the other side will just cut out. The call is still connected and I am then forced to hang-up and redial. This has happened already on 3 separate occasions. Calls off wifi-calling did not experience this issue albeit I could hear an echo of myself =(. Redialing and asking the other party to call me did not resolve the echo issue. The other party did not hear the echo.
Anyone else experiencing these types of issues or know of any fixes? Since it's only my first day with the phone, I'm hoping these are only fluke occurrences...
Yeap has happened to me calling out of town and in town numbers. Sounds like a dead line, and then when u talk u get an echo. I was advised by the people on the other line that they could hear me. This has happened while on the network due to I don't use Wi-Fi calling.

Anyone else have any wificalling issues?
My issue is more on loosing connection to the server while the phone is in asleep. the wifi connection is not lost just the connection to the server is lost and then my battery gets lost on locating connection.any ideas on that ?
I normally use wifi calling, but today at work and at home (so two different connections and two different routers) I tried to answer an incoming call, but the caller could not here me. I pressed the end button, and the dialer froze for about a minute before saying the dialer stopped responding and requested me to close it. Tested several more times before wiping my phone and reloading my rom fresh. Did the same thing afterwords. Then I turned off wifi calling and the normal network calling worked fine. Maybe a tmo server issue?

word for word same issues im having, also 2 different routers.:crying:
Although I am not certain if this problem exited before rooting and flashing my phone, my WiFi Calling has not been working. I can place the call, but I cannot hear it ring or hear anything when calling. I can receive calls, but once I answer, I cannot hear anything. I am able to receive text messages normally.
I have resorted to switching to the cellular preferred only option. I hope there will be a remedy for this issue.
I'm on the FreeGS3 R3 rom with stock kernal.

What Rom are you using? Im trying to conclude that the issue might be with the [ROM][GSM]{7.8.2012} Team Sonic Presents FreeGS3 R3 (Special FiveOhFox Edition).....I have noticed a few people in this thread have the issue using that ROM

I am running Whitehawks STOCK TVALUEM999 ROM with none of these issues. I am only on wifi as thats all I have available and I do not have an issues. It's possible that the removal of all the T-Mobile Bloatware, or some Mods done could be causing this. I have great battery life on that ROM and everything works fine. I am excited about this ROM, but am waiting to see another release come out and see how that works. ALSO, get ROM Manager, update to the newest CWM and try a data/dalvick cache, factory reset and install from zip from internal SD. Let me know how that works out
I use Wi-Fi calling exclusively when I'm at home. I'm rooted but still using Touchwiz.
I haven't had any echo problems. I think the quality overall is pretty bad though. For lack of being able to think of anything better atm, I'll just say it sounds rough. It was something that really bothered me at 1st, but I guess I'm kind of getting used to it. There are times I've thought the call was lost bc the call becomes so silent (clear and empty), but after a moment, I can hear them again and the call continues.
My husband switched over to T-Mobile about two weeks before I got the S3 and switched over from Verizon. While using the Wi-Fi calling, I've lost a call or two so far. My husband, who has an HTC One S, has also lost a call or two and he thinks the quality of his calls are fairly poor also.
I'm wondering if it's not necessarily a S3 thing, but perhaps a T-Mobile thing???
That being said... There are times he has full Wi-Fi bars and I have barely anything, and when I check the signal my laptop is getting, that's full as well. When I check the Battery from Settings, I always only have a yellow bar that is frequently dotted with sections of red.
The Wi-Fi issue, whatever the hell it is, is really the only bummer about the phone for me.

I am not sure if what to tell you, but I am in Afghanistan with the Samsung GS3 rooted, and I do not have a single issue with call quality with some of the crapiest internet connections you can ask for.. No echo, no dropped calls. Your internet connection quality can make a difference, when you make phone calls, any downloads going on can hinder the quality, also the type of router u have makes a difference. A wireless N router with 300MBS per second would be ideal...
It doesnt matter if your are using Touchwiz, the rom you are using matters, no other threads are stating this issue. I suggest you try another rom like redruM cause he just released a new update today, or Whitehaws STOCK. It performs great and has CIQ removed, zipalign on boot, some T-Mobile bloat removed, no force closes on any apps and good battery.. It doesn't have the crazy scripts and 4 in 1 reboot, however, if u dont care about that and you want stable and root, its a good option
According to T-Mobile technical support, they have escalated the issue of wifi-calling and wifi connectivity issues to Samsung and supposedly there is a team working on this. Supposedly they will be doing an over the air update.
it doesn't seem like a lot of us is having this problem, could it be the phone itself? i was fine until a couple of days ago. now i am having the same problems as some in this thread; i can hear them but they can't hear me. sometimes it freezes when i answer the call. now i'm thinking if rooting (phone is rooted only) was a probable cause, and if i should do a nandroid restore or system reset??
No wi-fi calling

TMo - GS3
My phone is and has not ever been Rooted. I'm having the same issue that when wi-fi calling is active, if I receive a call, the caller cannot hear me, and then the app. hangs for a minute when I hit end or the caller hangs up. I tried it on a couple networks. I thought I was able to make wi-fi calls, but that seems to not work all the time, either.
I believe this is the first TMo ICS phone, right? I had a 4.0.3 custom (Passion) ROM on my Vibrant (GS1), but since there wasn't ICS TMo phone, there was no wi-fi calling app. on it.
I called T-Mo support and told them I found this thread with other users with the same problem, but they didn't say anything was in the works. Samsung support gave me their usual answer, of doing a factory reset, reinstalling and reconfiguring everything (yeah right).
I get the hang sometimes and I also get the problem of people not being able to hear me when I pick up. Annoying. I got rid of my amaze after the ICS update because it screwed up wifi calling(delay in voice 5-10sec). Piss poor. Wish it worked better because I don't get a cell signal in my house.
To get rid of the voice echo - disable the noise cancelation during a phone call in the in call menu. The noise cancelation uses two mics but unfortunately picks up the noise of the speaker as well, causing the echo effect.
when i first got my s3 i had the wifi calling on and i'd miss calls. people said that it didn't even ring just went right to voice mail. on the occasion that a call actually went through people couldn't hear me and for me they cut in and out. i gave up and stopped using it.
when i bought the phone i was told that when on wifi calling the minutes didn't count against my plan, but reading the manual i got the impression that they did. which is correct?

You have to have them add the free WiFi calling feature to your plan and then they don't count. Just tell them you want your minutes on wifi to be free. There is no extra charge after they add that code.

I'm having the same issue, wifi calling does not work. No one on the other end when I answer incoming calls. Can't connect out.
For me it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't I just turn it off, I use 200 minutes so far this month and today is the last day so I'm good with 500 minutes plan

Did any of you with the wifi calling problem install Skype? My first phone had the problem of no one hearing me and freezing when hanging up. I ended up returning it to Tmobile for another phone.
Right before I returned the old phone I did some testing. I flashed it back to stock and it didn't fix the problem, but when I wiped the data and cache in download mode, it seemed to help with the wifi calling, not sure how consistent it worked, but at least for the first call I can hear them and vice versa.
So I'm thinking something I installed may have played a factor, and right now my suspicion is that it's skype. I haven't installed it on my new phone since I don't want to screw the wifi calling on there.
Odd issue. Hoping someone has an idea. I took to complete stock and tried going through full wipe all the way to Effortless Rom. During regular voice calls I cannot hear anyone speak and they cannot hear me. WiFi Calling is fine, Listening to voicemail is fine, talking to Google Now is fine. Installed a new SIM just to be sure, same issue. Any ideas welcome. Thanks.

I had the same issue and i had trouble making calls, there was no ring tone when making calls and people couldn't hear me only when I clicked on speaker was i able to hear them and them hear me. Also wifi calling work with no problem.. I notice that if I took it out of volte voice in call settings I was able to make calls with no problems and that bothered me.. So i decided to call T-Mobile customer service and the girl who helped me told me to take out my SIM card and read her my SIM card number then she did something in her end and that fixed my problem. Hopefully that's was wrong with your device.. She said if that didn't work that my device was malfunctioning.. So i suggest you give them a call, I took me maybe 10 minutes

Thanks for the idea. Tried it over the weekend with no luck. It seems like the problem takes some time to occur. I flashed back to stock, then to the latest DarthStalker and it worked for a few hours, then lost it again. Changed kernel and same deal, worked for a bit then back. Very frustrating, especially since it's definitely software related since other apps and WiFi calling work every time.
