I just got my girlfriend a used myTouch 3G slide. It's in great shape and appears to be functioning correctly. However, when I or anyone else talks to her, we hear an echo on OUR end. She doesn't hear an echo, but the other party does. I don't think it is a tower thing because it has been doing it this past week all over Denver and this weekend in Texas. I've searched the web and find that people have this issue here and there, but I haven't found a solution.
firmware: 2.1-update1
baseband: 47.41.35.10U_7.09.35.10
kernel: [email protected] #1
build: 1.35.531.1 CL216830
software: 1.35.531.1
My questions:
1. is there a fix without sending the phone back?
2. will rooting it and flashing a custom ROM like cyanogenmod possibly fix this issue or is it a hardware thing? (i'm comfortable with this as I rooted my Nexus One a while back and am comfortable flashing ROMs)
thanks in advance.

Hello all,
I have lurked this forum a little bit, but until now not needed help. I recently (3 days?) have an issue where the phone will no longer connect to my home wifi. It scans, connects, then disconnects....over and over. I spent about 2 hours reading about this issue with a general google search last night. The problem seems widespread...and suggested fixes go from "change routers" to "shift to a static IP" or "Change security on router" to "wipe the phone"
I was trying to search this forum today for the same issue...but had no success. Has this been addressed before?
Thank you,
scott in Colorado
What is your current setup? Rom kernel modem etc. Did you recently flash anything? Did you clear everything your supposed to??

Mynaga,
good questions, I'll answer to the best of my ability:
Model: SPH-D710
Android Ver: 2.3.6
Baseband Ver: S710.10 S.EL20
Kernal Ver: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EL29-CL852097

Hardware: D710.10
I do not believe I have recently flashed anything, however, about 10d ago I spoke with SPRINT customer service regarding a problem with not receiving notifications for voicemail. They did something one there end of the conversation, remotely, which allowed my voice mails to begin pouring in.
unplug your router wait ten seconds connect and u will be able to connect again.
Same thing happen to me

Hello recently unlocked and flashed my Galaxy Nexus (purchased from a Telstra Shop).
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: I9250TDVKK6
Kernal Version: 3.0.8-franco.Kernal-Milestone3
[email protected] #150
Build Number: aokp_maguro-userdebug 4.0.3 IML74K eng.
roman.20120307.183117 test-keys
Mod Version: aokp_maguro_milestone-4
Basically what has been happening is when I leave the phone sit, it loses all reception and displays "Emergency calls only", unlock it picks up reception straight away. Thought the Radio might have been update with the Rom, however recently found out this isnt the case, radio appears to be stock. Have not tried another Rom as I'm pretty darn happy with my AOKP.
Have been into the test menu and altered the Radio band and preferred network to multiple combinations. Currently set to GSM/CDMA (auto) and Radio band to Automatic and in the past 15 or so minutes haven't encountered the issue.
Rather annoying issue as its the only thing that could possible sway me to going back to a Stock Rom as being able to receive calls and messages all the time is a requirement for me.
Anyone seen something like this happen before.
Thanks in advance.
I am also with telstra and have only seen this once.... I have checked a fair few times because I wanted to make sure I had a bug... Im using milestone 5 though.... Never had a problem with milestone 4...I also have run Franco kernel since purchase... Did u full wipe.. Format system and fix permissions.... Hmmmm

That sounds like the signal loss on sleep thing that was reported by many people on 4.0.4, which is really odd.
If it is due to the same thing (smart reflex power saver thingy stopping too much, which is the limit of my research) then installing Franco M5 kernel or pretty much any new release of one of the gun kernels might fix it as all they all contain the fix for the smart reflex problem.
Thanks for the rapid replies. Work long days so haven't had much of a chance to get it sorted out. Planning on wiping, fixing permissions as stated before then updating to a newer rom (assuming there is one) and a newer mod version.
Will post back with the results.
Cheers, Matt.
Wondering if anyone has seen this issue before. (see attachment)
If the caller is in my contact list, name is displayed without issues. However, if they are not, I get a string of strange characters appear as the name. Same goes for Private Callers, or unknown numbers.
The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 running AOKP d2att (4.2.1 JOP40D) Build 1.4.2012
Kernel Version: 3.0.57
Android Version: 4.2.1
Baseband: I747MVLDLK4
Model: SGH-I747(M)
Originaly purchased from Rogers (Canada) but used on the Fido network. I have had no other issues, LTE works great via FIDO or Rogers apn's and caller ID worked fine in stock.
I also have the same issue with CM10. Any help would be great!
I experience this as well. It started happening after i changed from running stock Touchwiz to Task's AOKP. It would be nice to have it fixed but as long as I can see the number of the caller that's good enough.
I was afraid someone was going to say that. However, I don't believe this is an issues we should have to live with, there has to be a reason as to why this is occurring. Anyone have any ideas?

Full Wipe, Reflash Everything. Should be your first thought every time there is some funky problem that no one else really has.

Agreed, and believe me, I have already been down that road numerous times. After a full wipe and reflash back to stock, everything works fine. As well as simply restoring to stock after AOKP/CM flash via CWM backup. Yet, as soon as a custom ROM is applied, good bye call display. Something has to be missing...
My friend is having this issue with his Fido Galaxy S3 running CM10 stable. A fix is definitely needed!
Same thing here on latest AOKP on SGS3 on Fido.
Rogers here, same issue. CM10 stable. If the person is in my contact list it shows normally, but the caller id is wonky as described above.
I think since people on the contact list show normally this issue takes a little while for some people to notice. At first I thought it was just some foreign guy calling me Then a few more calls... and I found this thread, although I would describe the display as "garbled" really. But obviously more than a few people have this issue.
This might be one of you guys, http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=7074 -- talking about CM10.1, but this bug is in CM10 too obviously.
Possible fix
Hi guys,
I was thinking about this and noticed that people with this problem seemed to be on the I747MVLDLK4 baseband. It occurred to me to try switching it out and seeing if that had any effect.
Yes it does.
I used my co-workers phone (removing his phone number from my contacts first of course) and called my phone. Normally I get gibberish (I tested immediately before flashing to verify) and viola, my caller ID works now, with the tiny exception that there is a trailing "@" symbol. But otherwise it showed up correctly.
I flashed the I747MVLLH1 baseband and that *seems* to have fixed the issue. Apparently the speeds, connectivity and such can vary between basebands and your location so you may want to try a few basebands listed here and see if any of these work for you. Just remember not to flash an AT&T baseband on a Canadian phone or the other way around.
Post your results if this works for you. Cheers!
That is great news!!! I will test a few and post results.
Link is broken tho....
Edit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
Edit2:
WORKED LIKE A F**KING CHARM!!!!!
Went down the list flashing each one and doing some various tests. Placing/receiving calls, LTE connectivity, speed tests, etc... Safe to say, I747MVLLH1 seems to be working best.
My phone is originally from Rogers, but service is with Fido (Fido sim) yet still using the Rogers APN settings.
Right on man Glad it worked for more than just me. That default base band actually seems pretty lousy in general, thinking back I'm not sure it was really working in the stock, factory firm ware either. I recall seeing unknown caller from phone numbers that I knew had id's.
Cheers!
Edit: can we mark this solved?

This worked for me as well, thank you.
Same problem on my LG P930 from Bell, unlocked and connected to rogers. Using CM 10.1 2/21 nightly currently, but it was happening on older nightly's too.
I guess I have to hunt down baseband options for my handset unless other solutions have come up since the last posts to this thread.

Open jira report
There is an open JIRA report against CM10.1 RC3 in regards to this issue.
Yes flashing an older ICS modem will work temporarily but there is obviously a problem with the newer JB modems released for our devices that we can hopefully get resolved.
If you want to see this fixed, sign in to JIRA and vote for the issue to help get it some support.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-1202
I also understand that not all of you are necessarily using CM10.1 but you may be using a ROM that pulls it's base code from CM so there is a good chance if they fix it, it will be fixed for whatever other ROM you are using.
Thanks.
Hi guys,
I’m running my GT-N7105 LTE from stock but with root using the app method.
Android version: 4.1.1
Baseband: N7105BVALIG
Kernel: 3.0.31-240505
Build number: JRO03C.N7105XXALIJ
The last week or so I’ve noticed a significant drop in signal strength, quantifiable by the fact that I work in a city centre previously enjoying 4g at full signal strength.
Now it struggles to get any 3g signal at all!
Some small spots seem to have fully working 4g, for example when in bed, but then in the kitchen my housemate gets good signal on his iphone while I get no data at all!
Is there anything that will have reduced the quality of signal, and any way of getting it back?
I’m reluctant to do a hard reset because it takes so flipping long to get things back to how I’ve got it setup and I don’t want to lose everything, however I seem to have another small problem where the phone will reset itself, but that comes and goes.
Any advice would be gratefully received
Cheers,
Andy

Suggestion Install a custom Kernel for you device like Adam Kernel i remember @ MR Larner facing the same issue and was fixed
Reply by Larner
Mate i installed the new rom (WanamLite) and it installed a kernal as well which is (AdamKernal) and as soon as i installed it all, i turned wifi off and guess what.... I GOT 4G hahahaha
its just come back, i aint got a clue why and what i did, but i got it back.
I'm on an EE 4G contract

Bull's Eye try Adam Kernel see if it makes any difference make sure your downloading the correct 1 bfore flashing anything highly recommend to make an nandroid back up and Efs back up .
is it possible to install a custom kernel without having to hard reset and lose everything? If so could you recommend one for me to try?
I'm hoping to keep my phone within warranty incase I have to send it back for the resetting problem.

Simple if your rooted If yes , Install Mobile Odin and flash the kernel .any help required let me know.
thanks very much!! Adams Kernel does seem to have helped, looking forward to getting home from work and trying it out now...
Only problem is, with this new kernel I tried to open stweaks because apparently it has settings for my new kernel...
It took ages to load and then says time out or no root access..
When I use root checker apps it gets stuck checking and doesn't come back with an answer!
Originally I used OTA rootkeeper to install root but now that doesn't have any available options... would appreciate some assistance please
I'm a first-time poster here but I've been using XDA for years to root and flash phones. My first android phone was the EVO 4G and I've had about 5 since then, all of them rooted and flashed multiple times with no issues to date... until now!
My wife has an older T-Mobile Galaxy S2 (T989). She was having problems with the keyboard hanging and text messages lagging so rather then wipe it and restore the stock ROM I figured I might as well update it.
I used the latest release of CWM and rooted the phone with SU.
Then I flashed a new radio ( SGH-T989D_TLMC4_radio ).
Then I flashed Paranoid Android 4.0 beta 6.
Then I flashed mini gapps.
Everything on the phone seemed to be working great but then today at work she tried making phone calls.
The phone is able to dial and make calls and pickup and receive calls but the actual call quality is terrible. The voices are all broken up and have high pitched digital noise mixed in with the voice of the other caller.
Should I experiment with flashing different radios? I did a search and couldn't find much but I wasn't sure how to word the problem so it might be a common issue that I'm not aware of. Thanks!

I think the radio you named above is for the Telus version of the phone (not T Mobile). Here is a link to the radio thread:
