CM9 Alpha 2: Hearing echo/distortion during calls when I speak - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any time my speaking volume is high enough (not that high, just not whispering) I'll hear a robotic echo of myself. The person on the other end of the line hears me fine, and they sound normal to me as well. I have voice privacy off, if that matters.
This has been happening to me on both CM7 and CM9.

Its a known problem for some and the cm9 devs are working on it... they commited a fix in alpha2 that seemed to alleviate the situation for most but not all... they will get it fixed at some point I'm sure though

Mhm, reading through the CM9 thread in the development forum led me to believe the issue had been fixed. I guess it's still around.

Mine was fixed on alpha 2. Did you flash over alpha 1? I had at first and still had the whistling sound. Credit to bigoron (sp?) For telling me to nandroid my current setup.....wipe....flash alpha 2 back...then do an advanced restore of data. Worked perfect for me and whistling whatever noises seem to be gone. All my stuff was put back too. Any themes or kernels will have to be reflashed but you probably want to wait until those are updated to alpha 2 also

I wiped data, cache, and Dalvik before installing alpha 2 (I was on CM7 before this). I didn't Odin-nuke my phone back to stock. Should I have?

[Q] Caller Can't Hear Me

This has been happening on my Epic 4G for awhile now and it's really frustrating. I'm pretty sure this hasn't been happening the whole time I've owned the phone, but at this point it's hard to really remmber.
Basically, when I make or receive a call, within a couple\few minutes of the phone call the caller suddenly can't hear me - this happens whether it's using the phone normally, in speakerphone mode, or even a headset. As soon as it happens and the other caller starts the "Hello? Are you still there?" I can fix it by toggling the speaker on and off (or off and on) and it fixes it - but it can suddenly start again at anytime...couple of minutes later, five minutes later, etc.
Right now I'm slowly removing apps from my phone after every call this happens on - my goal is to determine if a particualr app is confusing my phone. I don't think it's the ROM or modem I'm using (Frozen 1.2, EC05) as I did a stock flash and flashed to those just recently and others aren't having the same problem. I DID restore some data so if I can't narrow down an app that's causing it, not restoring any data is my next option (but even more time consuming to figure out specifically which data is causing issues).
I'm pretty sure the phone hasn't always done this so I don't want to exchange the phone considering I don't have any other issues and I think this is software, not hardware related. Has anyone experienced anything similar to this?
Have you tried switching Roms, I have this same problem on EC05 when I moved to gingerbread it stopped happening.......

I do have Voodoo installed (since it comes with Frozen 1.2). I haven't tried switching ROMs yet but I have started looking again (I was pretty content with Frozen but if no one had a similar issue and changing the modem doesn't work then a ROM switch is my next try).
Thanks to others who suggested changing modems - I'm going to do that now and see if EE03 fixes this....*crosses fingers*

Yes! Mine started doing this a couple months ago, and I resolve it exactly the same way (though I have to hit the volume button once, either up or down, then toggle speaker on then off). It's definitely not the ROM because I've had it with both Froyo and GB ROMs. Unfortunately, I haven't found any other solution, yet. I'm hoping it will go away with official GB, but I have no real reason to think it will work. I'm going to play around with the Voodoo sound.

you guys shouldn't be having this problem make a backup then odin to ec05 stock and check if you still have the issue if you do just take it to sprint and show the tech your problem they should fix it or get you a replacement phone.
I have the same issue. I am completely stock. It usually happens 10 to 15 minutes into a phone call. I've already called sprint, taken it to a store but only reflashed the os, and I just recently spoke to someone on chat, who said the problem has been solved. If it happens again should I get a replacement phone?

Sadly even after changing modems and making the adjustment in Voodoo Control I still have the same problem. Going to uninstall Voodoo all together and see if that resolves anything.
I just discovered that I'm having the same problem after I Odin'd back to stock EC05 for a different reason. So, EC05 and EC05 modem, and I'm having a problem that I didn't think I was having before I tried EF02.
Could something have been changed that going back to EC05/EC05 modem didn't resolve?

This problem is not generated by Voodoo. I have a stock Epic (rooted) and have never had Voodoo installed on my device and I have intermittently had this problem in the past (haven't seen it for a while, though). My friend has an Epic (never rooted) and also has this problem.
About the only thing I've heard that people have said fixes this is to wipe cache and dalvik and then flash something using Odin. Stock or custom I don't think matters.
As others have noted, uninstalling Voodoo didn't fix it for me. I think what must be causing this is everytime I wipe and install a clean ROM I restore some data through TiBackup and SOMETHING I'm restoring is causing this. Guess I'll just have to wipe and be very careful about what I'm restoring.
This might be completely random, but by chance did other people that experience this problem happen to install NZBAir?

[Q] Epic 4G / CM7 In call volume

Hey everyone,
Just flashed the newest CM7 RC2 and the in-call volume (from the earpiece) is just way too loud, even at the lowest volume setting. Not sure if it's something with this ROM (I've tried a bunch of the TW varieties and don't remember noticing it) or maybe just my phone?
Any advice or suggestions?
Thanks,
Do u use voodoo sound? And you mean bluetooth right? Or headphones..?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I tried installing voodoo but the CM7 kernel doesn't support it (or viceversa).
And bluetooth is fine, I'm having a problem with the earpiece on the phone itself. Just noticed it on a call today when my bluetooth died.
Same Issue
I am having the same issue with in call volume. Has anyone found a solution? Have reflashed onto the most recent nightly 06/03 of CM7 and have even done a factory reset with no change. Love this ROM as I can get almost 2 days of battery life with it, but the call volume is making my ears bleed.

just try rc3 then you will know if they fixed it or not. my understanding is the nightly might not have the rc3 kernel. not sure how to tell.

No audio when calling

Hi everybody, for about a week I experience the following annoying problem. When I call someone or receive a call I don't hear the person on the other side of the line through the normal speaker. When I switch to loudspeaker I can hear them loud and clear. The strange thing is that it does not always happen. It is definately not a hardware problem, the speaker sometimes works fine. When I can't hear the person on the other side pressing the volume-up button several times sometimes solves the problem and suddenly the audio works...
I noticed the problem earlier this week after I flashed CM 7.1 again. Before I had an Andromous rom with ICS installed, but I didn't like that one so I flashed my good ol' CM 7.1 again. When I noticed the problem I upgraded to CM 7.2 (with full-wipe) and also flashed another radio. Unfortunately all these things did not work...
Does someone have any idea how I can fix this annoying problem?
Right now the call function of my phone is pretty useless
Ps. the person on the other side of the line can always hear me.
full wipe, multiple rom flashes, even with it being intermidete it sounds like hardware, slight chance the flex is going bad, more likely the speaker needs to be replace or at least fiddled with. any recent drops?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
It is certainly not a hardware issue. When I install Skype and dial the Echo / Sound Test Service I can hear the everything just fine through the earpiece.
then you aren't wiping properly, fastboot -w or superwipe or both. the stock dialer doesn't have sound issues that I'm aware of and there must be curroption somewhere. change the radio will not change this, flash a vinilla rom after a full wipe and see what happens, don't restore anything

Still having this problem...Back on CM 9 (RC2) after wiping everything and again flashing a new radio. Matched RIL and everything. Nothing seems to work. Microscope is still working sometimes, but most of the times it doesn't. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

First we have to fix our flashing methods and recoveries used. I for one haven't experienced one single RR or SoD since I started flashing official nightlies. People are probably causing these issues themselves to begin with. Expecting a fix for an issue that has no identifiable cause.. I wonder if any other phones outside the t989 forums are experiencing RR and SoDs with Jelly Bean..

running 10-10. I experienced one soft reboot after restoring apps and then running all of them (I don't blame my phone). no sod yet. i don't know if they fixed rr or sod completely but i believe they made an impact. I think people are making assumptions since the 4.1.2 update claimed "better performance and stability fixes" and the bbq log shows a lot of framework and system updates

We are not guessing. I said there are no SODs or RRs because I installed each update and i am pushing hard my device to get a RR. Also as i observed that there are no SODs. CM10 09-Oct Nightly is more stable than previous Nightlies. I know there are still some issues like as i stated above. We can find solutions for common problems but not major problems.

Great to hear that your running latest 10-Oct Nightly. A Simple advice to you & all other users, is to restore app without data if your are using any backup tools such as TitaniumBackup etc., Restore Apps with data cause Problems.

Sorry, I don't mean to crap on the thread but unless you can confidently say that SODs and RRs have been fixed (changelogs, yourself writing the code, etc.), going by your own experience shouldn't be the end-all-be-all to say whether something is fixed or not. Just like with call echo, some devices are worse than others.
I see that supposedly the issue with audio and docking has been addressed. However, the docking option is still grayed out for me when docked. Just looking for audio pass-through while docked...
Been running CM10 for the past few days and updating nightlies. My issues so far:
1. No sound with Alarms, just vibrating
2. I have been told by caller that I sounded weird using phone mic, but fine with headset
3. Had phone freeze once this morning on 10/9 with touch keys lit, but screen black, had to pull battery
I am now on 10/10 and plan on doing a clean install of it this afternoon, so I'm not sure how many of these issues with persist yet

1. There are issues with all of the volume settings. To fix your alarm volume open the clock settings, go to volumes and chnge the volume level. It should work. You can fix all volume settings with a simple toggle. 2. Make sure you have noise suppression enabled in call settings. 3. To avoid pulling the battery hold down the power for 10-15 seconds and it will reboot.
running 10-10 with TWRP and clean install (no tdj scripts). No rr/sod for 6 hrs so far. just a soft reboot after loading a ton of apps and running them all to push my phone to the max. No issues except the ones above and a tiny camera app issue thats already been reproduced (switching from camera mode--> video mode-->panorama-->camera will cause fc). I'm starting to think this is dd material. will let you know of any rr/sods.
I'm on recent CM10 Oct10 nightly and the BLN lights stay on, even with the Oct 7 nightly.
Update: fixed my own problems. This post helped: go to menu - systems - advanced settings - sensor and uncheck and check enable keys notifications and then send yourself a text or email. It actually should work out the box mine always has. Make sure you have notifications checked off in the apps like sms and gmail.
Also check display - notification light to make sure it enabled and you can add the apps you want to have the light enabled to work

well there was a difference in this reboot because my phone didnt actually fully shut off. the "cyanogenmod" boot animation came up and the phone was ready to go in about 20 seconds. there was no usual vibration indicating that the phone has shut off and no "samsung" boot image as a regular reboot would do. call it what you will

Run only One ROM. Do a clean reflash. We are not experiencing any SODs or RRs. Use only one ROM because Flashing different ROMs one after the Other will Make your device weak. The data left by the AOKP causes some errors to CM10. Thats why i said that don't restore the apps with data.

[Q] CM10 on Bell Galaxy S III (d2att)

I know CM10 has been made "stable" on this device but I just have a few questions regarding it. My wife has been using the nightlies since the first previews were available and I'm not sure if our issues are common or something I am doing wrong.
She is currently on a nightly from a few days ago but these issues have persisted for about a month. I have done a full wipe and flash multiple times and we still have the same issues.
Skype: She can't barely here the other user and the other user hears nothing but static. I have tested with multiple other users. I have wiped data for Skype and reinstalled it, still has the same issue.
Force Close - Many apps. Happens randomly and it's not the same apps every time. I feel it is an OS issue and not an app issue.
Speakerphone is randomly activated by default. She usually has to tap the mic button a few times (deactivate, reactivate, deactivate) in order to get it switched to the handset.
Depending on what nightly she flashes the caller on the other end gets echo. It hasn't been happening with recent flashes but every couple weeks it pops up again for a nightly and then disappears.
I understand there are many issues due to Samsung not releasing sources, etc, just want to verify I am not alone. I have looked through the forums and see some people have some of the issues from time to time but I am hoping for some verification.
Thanks for everything.
I noticed the same thing a few days ago on Skype but didn't think much of it at the time.
Just checked again and sure enough I'm having the same experience you are with static.
Flashed back to stock and the problem disappears.
Must be a problem with CM10.
Ever try flashing the Stable version? Or a different rom for that matter? Maybe AOKP?
The issue existed before Stable and it exists in Stable. I just tried [ROM] AOKP(Jellybean 4.1.2)Task & Ktoonsez (11/18) and the issue with Skype exists there as well. If anybody knows of a AOKP or CM build that doesn't have any issues I would swap over. I have been wiping and flashing roms like crazy lately and I we really can't stand stock samsung rom. I may end up selling the phone and picking up something different, it's quite frustrating. Last time I buy a Samsung phone, that's for sure. They basically **** on devs.
