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.......
Do you voodoo installed?

I was having the same problem with EF02 and the EF02/EF10 modems. I switched back to the EC05 modem and haven't had the problem since (knocking on wood)...

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*

Go into you Voodoo sound settings and change recording setting to Original. Shoul fix your issue.

Sure you are not hitting the mute button by accident? Sounds dumb but I've done that before.

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?
Blankrubbers fix actually worked for me

I had this problem as well. I odinned stock and problem solved. Now I'm back on bonsai with no problems.
Edit: I just noticed that I don't have voodoo sound installed, I know that I used to, maybe deleting that solved my problem and not odinning back to stock.

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?
I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else..
However, this seems to be an ongoing issue with me and Android.
I've had the X10a and Nexus One .. both after only rooting it and using a different rom. While making phone calls and charging.. my phone would reboot..
Or playing a game on the phone.. it would reboot. I basically couldn't do anything without the phone rebooting. Which was sad.
Now with the Galaxy S2X.. This very same issue just happened to me moments ago.
Should I have never rooted it or changed the rom in the first place?
It was running very well before I decided to do so.. even while charging and talking on the phone.
Its funny because it just happened while charging.... I'm not even on the phone myself.
Does anyone seem to have any problem with this when using custom ROMs?
Because if this is true.. then I guess I'll flash the stock kernel and stuff back on the phone just to HOPE it doesn't occur then. :/
I've only experienced this after trying different roms and kernels. I flashed the stock kernel and the deodex rooted stock rom back at the same time and have had no such things happen again.
Imo, stock always runs better than any other rom. I always get better battery too.
My sensation was/is the same way, reboots, dropped signals and all until I put it back to stock rooted. Now it's fine.

Deebo took your bike too?
Yes I have had it more often on this phone though but it has been fixed by wiping the proper things first then flashing. If not then you might need to redownload the file.
If that doesnt work then you need to make sure that the kernel you are using is compatible with the rom
Also make sure that you are using the proper cpu software for the kernel.. Setcpu seems to work good for most but on Juggernauts new kernel they highly recommend Fauxclock .
I've run roms and kernels since we got root. Never had a random reboot or any other problem for that matter.

The only thing I'm worried about is if I continue to wipe and reinstall these customs ROM's that this issue could worsen, but you said that Fauxclock was highly recommended for Jug's Rom? I should try that out myself.
I've always done exactly what was written on the Instructions themselves.
But as for now. . I did a full wipe.. including my SD and the USB data and did a practice call for roughly an hour with me playing games and surfing. So far, there has been any problems. I hope this is perm!
I'd hate to waste another $500 phone D:
As far as the problem kernel with rom etc..
I am running Jug's rom straight. No different kernel's nothing.
I just had it happen to me last night. First time on this phone it has happened. It its stock, rooted. Happened while I was paying music in the car. My other phones with custom roms used to do it all the time.
I wonder if this has happened to anyone without ANY mods on their phone? =X

Are you overclocking?
I am running jugs rom. Before I cleaned everything I did move a lot of apps to SD. Maybe that cause it but as for now I have no.problem. definitely report in the future should there be anymore.

Reviving old thread... I have a completely stock S2X running 4.0.3 and it randomly reboots or shuts itself off.
I'm trying to figure out if it's a wayward app or a hardware problem. Thinking of rooting and removing the bloatware.
I also saw that it could be a faulty power button, but it also happens by itself, sitting on a desk.

Root try new rom and kernel see if that fixes it.
Did anyone find any solution? everything in this thread failed for me ..
Have you tried updating to jellybean? Mu phone used to randomly reboot on 4.0.4 probably once a day, and hasn't done it since I did. I am on stock rom.

Hey guys,
A year after replacing my Desire with an S2, I wanted to set up the old girl again, giving it to a friend of mine as her first smartphone. Well, now, all of a sudden I have several issues.
First of all: it worked absolutely fine before, up and including the day I turned it off for the last time. Back then, I took out the battery, SIM- and SD card and stored it in its box in my desk. It's rooted (no idea how I did it, hell, t'was over a year ago. I do suspect superoneclick though) and was running 2.2 until last night (more on that later).
Put it together, turned it on, sure thing: battery almost dead, so I plugged it in while checking it out. Turned on wifi, set up market so I could install some apps & updates. Well, I was in the middle of downloading some updates, when it told me there's some minor update for 2.2. I had no SD in, which was mandatory for the update, so I decided to turn it off and put in a card (while the app updates where still coming in). Well here's where it all went downhill. After reboot:
- No more wifi ("error", wifi-symbol turnes greyed-out green)
- No more Bluetooth (just won't turn on, no notification whatsoever)
- Calling one of my other phones resulted in the screen turning off, with no way of getting it back on (although the phone kept working fine, left a message on my answering machine with dead screen)
- mobile networks was activated, yet would not show in notification bar/actually connect.
Out of desperation, I then installed the official HTC 2.3.3 Rom, which - hey presto - got rid of the calling screen and mobile networks bugs.
I researched online, read a lot, and I just don't know what's going on. Bluetooth and wifi errors seem to be connected, but there's two kind of threads on that online (and here): People who run custom Roms and have that problem (I am on stock Rom, with no modification other than root) , and people who just had wifi magically turn on again after two weeks. I don't even understand how it can go from totally fine to being this busted. Was it rebooting while updating? All it updated was apps like Flash & Google streetview, after all.
But honestly, without wifi this is as good as a brick to me. I can't figure out what's wrong. I thought it was a hardware issue, because pretty much all communication was shot, but the major update to 2.3.3 sorted out two of the four issues. Well, I really need wifi. If Bluetooth is shot, I can live with that.
Is there anybody who can tell me what's busted and point me towards the next step? I'm absolutely out of ideas and can't seem to find anything that applies on Google and/or xda.
Thanks a bunch for ANY help & suggestion!

And now we have random reboots, without anything non-stock running on the phone and the device being asleep.
The hell?
Oh, of course I did hard and soft resets. Forgot to mention that.

I think it is your best shot to flash custom recovery such as 4ext and to wipe everything (you can flash it via app so no fastboot required, and it is probably best recovery). By everything, I mean every single partition including sdcard. Then try to install some other rom, for example oxygen and then test the phone. If you need instructions just say.
First of all, thanks for the quick reply!
Yeah, I was thinking about flashing cyanogenmod at one point, but all these bugs put doing that at the end of the to-do list.
Regarding instructions, I'm a bit intimidated about formating the whole thing, simply because I've never used anything like 4ext before. So if you could point me to a good tutorial...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Ok, battery is apparently totally dead, so I have to wait till I can borrow one from a friend.
A question though. You mentioned "format everything". I assume this is, what CWM lists as "format boot/system/data/cache/sdcard/sd-ext"? All of that? Including boot? Just making sure here.
Thanks a bunch!
Well, finally got to ordering a new battery. No change. Phone won't start up, no charge light (although the battery, just like the last one, gets warm).
Guess I'm looking at a major hardware failure and thus a brick

Anyone have issues turning on bluetooth while running the new 4.0.3/4.0.4?
It takes me a good dozen trys for it to turn on.
nope, no problem at all
maybe you just need a good clean & wipe, to re-install everything from scratch again, instead of restoring backups

I have tried doing that, along with multiple different roms. Always do a darkside wipe, than factory wipe before rom in stall, than darkside cache wipe and factory cache and davik wipe after.
have you tried using just a plain stock rom via ODIN?
just trying to rule out if it's a hardware problem or software problem
if it's a hardware problem, it shouldn't even work at all, so it still seems like just some piece of software preventing you from properly enabling/disabling bluetooth
I too will have intermittent Bluetooth issues with a couple of 4.0.x ROMs and I did not use any app restores. Usually a phone reboot gets it working again though.
OK - installed Clones/Drones v4 ICS yesterday, and Bluetooth will not turn on today - just stays at attempting to turn on bluetooth.... And yes I followed in install procedures to a tee. Will try a different ROM today.

Yes, I still have the same issue after 2 repair attempts by samsung. First attempt, they flashed the firmware, second attempt, they replaced a component. (Never told me which component)
When I try turning on bluetoot, it just seems like it's trying to enable itself, but just hangs. I have to restart the phone several times before it works again.
I have an SGH-T989 factory unlocked and using it with Straight Talk
I'm using stock 4.0.4 and I've only had my phone crash once, and that was when I turned on blue tooth and quickly closed the status bar and tried to open an app. It just rebooted and was fine after that.
The blue tooth on this phone turns on almost instantly compared to my old Galaxy Ace though. Either way, I think there are a few blue tooth issues with this phone, just not ones that I notice as severely as the OP

FYI: I have a stock Galaxy 2 and after the recent update, I'm getting bluetooth issues when connecting to my car, bluetooth stops.
I did some search and found older threads with similar problems but found nothing that really fix my issue...
Just bought Samsung Bluetooth earpiece for my T989, it was working perfectly for 2 days. Now i can't turn on bluetooth at all. It search for devices for 10 seconds and come back to off by itself. Sometimes i can get it works after turning it on for 7-8 times.
I thought it was a Rom issue because was using jedi jelly (att Leak) for few days only... So i wipe everything, going back to my old Jedi Mind Tricks but still having problems turning bluetooth on.
So i Odin it back to stock, now Bluetooth come back to life... Re-install Jedi Jelly, Bluetooth still works perfectly.... I used it for 3 days and now it dead again...
Anyone else with similar issue ???

I've struggled with this for months and I've finally fixed it.
It was the root! When I unrooted all went back to normal. I tell you, before that I tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked.
Sorry to bump this again but missed last post and because i still carry this issue 1 year later, i decided to try to unroot just for fun....Lol!!! Finally, I can confirm the root interfere with bluetooth... That's why when i odin back to stock, bluetooth start to work again! If i Root, after 1 day or 2 using bluetooth functionnality, problem came back!
Anyone else having this issue ?
Any other way to root without having this bluetooth issue ??

Was having bluetooth crashes for months using CM 10.1 on a T989 (no custom kernels)
Would crash anytime I tried to connect to car BT audio, or would simply not start up.
Flashed this yesterday.... and no crashes!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174100
For flash: Wiped dalvik/cache, flashed, fix permissions, reboot, start BT, deleted all devices, re-add.
No BT crashing of any sort for 36 hours now.
