[Q] LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3 GB-Port-R5 A2SD Crashes on Call

Hi all,
I have been using LeeDrOiD on my phone for a while and really like it. I tried to upgrade to LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3 GB-Port-R5 A2SD and despite everyone else seeming to sing its praises - I cannot get the thing to be stable. Everything seems to run fine until I make or receive a call. Sometimes I can make or receive a call fine and other times as soon as I get a call the thing crashes.
I say it crashes as the phone becomes totally unresponsive. If the screen was on it freezes with the current image or if the screen was off it freezes blank. None of the hardware buttons respond and the only way out seems to be to remove the battery and restart. The phone seems to still be alive somewhere below as if I am connected via bluetooth in my car, sometimes the call can carry on unhindered.
I seem to have narrowed it down to something between the radio and the LeeDrOiD ROM. Depending on the radio that use I get different frequencies of crash but I have not yet found a radio that in combination with this ROM that is stable.
It doesn't seem to be a hardware based fault as I can run other ROMs perfectly fine without crashes. I have no idea how to trouble shoot this further.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get further with this?
Thanks in advance.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

I guess no-one else has experience this problem. It was worth a try at least.

You just waited one day. Just chill a little.

I had the same problem. What radio and ril are you using? Might be worth flashing the latest ones you can. Wiping cache and dalvik.
The latest ril I flashed was for gingerbread and ended with HM. If that doesn't work try the latest kernel from snq- in the development sub-forum

So far I have tried it with :-
LeeDrOiD_Radio_32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08.zip
bravo_radio_5.17.05.23.zip
LeeDrOiD_Radio_32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17.zip
a few others before I started to take note
Each time I tested it was with a full wipe and clean install. So far none have been stable. Any specific recommendations to try?

[Q] [AUDIO BUG] Help me xda developers... You're my only hope.

Get it? The title is a Star Wars reference. As in developers are Jedi? Like in the movie? Nevermind.
I have been having a strange audio bug recently. I flashed RC Mix Runny v1.0 through to v1.4 and each subsequent ROM version did exactly what it should. No issues that weren't listed on the thread.
Then I flashed Runny v1.5, followed by (after the ROM had booted twice) a theme I made on UOT Kitchen. A few days afterwards, when making a phone call, I couldn't hear the phone ringing through the phone's speaker. Nothing. That's the bug.
This only applies to phone calls (or at least the speaker normally used for phone calls). When I select 'speaker phone' the rear speaker kicks in and I can hear the phone call just fine, though a little loud when walking around in public.
The headset also works perfectly.
I flashed RCMix3d 3.5 v1.0 today - no themes this time in case it was the cause last time. The ROM boots up just fine, everything seems perfect but when I go to make a phone call the same bug presents itself. Meaning it's most likely a bug I have caused, not a bug in a ROM.
But what did I do?! Has anyone heard of this behavior before? Could it be radio/RIL related?
If anyone can shed a little light, I would appreciate it greatly.

Please search before opening a new post as I have seen this pop up alot the past few days with that rom. I would look in the roms thread

I will search more thoroughly. Apologies for any infraction.
Cheers for pointing the way.

While you are searching for hours for a solution, download a different ROM (other than RCMix) and find out if it is really a bug or some hardware issue. And while you wait for the download and flash, keep searching

Thanks for your advice. I heeded it!
I flashed Black Ice [AOSP] to see if it was still persisting. It is.
Seems like it's a hardware problem. I was hoping it wasn't. I didn't want to have to pay to fix it!
Ta for the help!

try changing the radio or kernel see if it helps

I was holding back on changing the radio because I don't like higher risk of bricking. Having done it in the past though, I said it was worth a shot before I blame the hardware entirely and hand over money to fix it.
I had been using radio 26.09.04.11 and it's matching RIL with every ROM I tried.
Once changed to radio 26.13.04.19_M and it's corresponding RIL and the problem was erased. I can hear phone calls on the phone speaker again. (Like normal folk!)
Thanks for the push rakinisbat, I needed it!
Edit: NOT SOLVED. The problem has re-surfaced. I have made absolutely no changes to the system since it started working. I am now going to pay someone to take a look and will report back with results.

Definitely not solved.
This problem with the receiver not working has not gone away.
I have tried ignoring it for the last while and just using the speakerphone on a low volume - not ideal but workable.
A few days ago I changed ROM - curious to try out ICS. I load up the new ROM and a while later, accidentally forgot to put a call I was making onto speakerphone and suddenly the receiver is working again - JOY!
Now, two days later, the receiver is not working again.
I have pry tools now and would happily change the receiver, but this recurring trend of it working for a spell after a new ROM is flashed leads me to believe this is more software related than hardware.
If anyone has ANY ideas or thinks they could help (if I provide a logcat to them or something) then please PM me or respond to this thread.

Everything works fine for me...never experienced this .....check your audio settings....and why you running such an old version??

The last time I changed to that radio, my audio bug was fixed (temporarily).
I will update to the new radio (12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28) I saw mentioned a few days ago and see if it changes anything - though I doubt it.
I have done a fair bit of research on this and it is not as uncommon as I thought it was a few months ago. It seems to have happened to the HTC Desire, Desire S and Desire HD - but not en mass. In every case, the phone was working fine, then came intermittent receiver audio, then receiver audio gone altogether.
I have not heard of one working solution, though I have had some helpful people lend an ear!

You say the problem is solved for a while when you flash a new ROM. Is there a possibility that a certain app that you install/restore that maybe messes with the speaker?
Just a thought..

An avenue I had not gone down. I have been restoring mostly the same apps for ages.
Thanks for the idea. I will do a backup and then a fresh install tomorrow (I'm at work) and check. Will report back afterwards.

Ongoing audio issue
I have fully wiped the phone and re-installed a ROM twice now (ICS both times, I know this problem acts the same with GB). I didn't install any apps for a while and had audio in the receiver for phone calls.
The first time I wiped it, I had audio back so decided to install apps from the market - one at a time and test the receiver by ringing the house number after each is installed. I got distracted (it was late) and when I next picked up the phone, audio was gone.
Second attempt, this time stay vigilant. I fully wiped the phone, installed a ROM, and got to work on installing the apps again. I installed a few apps, which I will list here, and audio disappears again.
Installed apps:-
Dictionary.com
Dropbox
Earth
Es File Explorer
Facebook
Goggles (I dunno why, the camera isn't even working - habit maybe)
Google Sky Map
Google+
Messenger
Moon+ Reader Pro
MX Video Player
Streetview For Google Maps
Sugarsync
Tumblr
Twitter
XDA
To my knowledge, apart from MX Video Player, none of the rest these apps should have any effect on the audio.
Today I am going to wipe it and not install any apps for the next 24-48 hours and see if the audio still disappears.
Tune in next time to see if the problem makes my brain crack in two.

I had exactly the same issue. After rooting my desire HD I installed ARHD 6.3.1 and it was working very fine until I installed the ICE HD theme for ARHD 6.3.1. Sorry, no disrespect to the theme author but I was not able to hear anything through Phone speakers after installing this theme. This is what I did to solve this issue,
1- Use Superwipe to clear everything using ClockworkMod recovery.
2- Install the STOCK 1.32 PD98IMG.zip from here. Put it in your SD card, Flash is using the HTC Stock Recovery (It will detect it automatically). Remember that the Kernel and Radio are inside this ZIP file so you need not to install anything else.
That's it. you are back to old stock ROM and now you must be able to hear you phone speakers. If not, switch off your phone for few hours and then turn on. (I know switching off and on sounds silly but it worked for me). You can install any custom ROM after that rooting again.

Thanks so much for getting on to me, I have been hoping that someone out there solved this issue and might read this little thread!
I will be following your advice today and will report back.

Solution seems good so far!
I'm not going to jump the gun again and say that it is definitely solved but my audio came back!
I did what you said, reverted everything back to stock. When it loaded up Froyo and for the first while, the receiver wasn't working. I set about rooting, Radio S-Off, ENG S-Off, adding CWM etc.
About three hours later (I didn't actually leave the phone off, I reset it a lot though) the audio returned to the receiver!
I'm delighted but remain skeptical as it has come back to life and then died again so many times before.
I want to believe!!!... So I remain hopeful. Time will tell.

It fixed itself...(!)
See post below

Absolutely positively finally fixed.
Thanks to everyone for their help in trying to solve this issue.
I replaced the broken receiver with a new one I got from eBay (along with prytools for under €10) and this issue is completely fixed.
What had happened, if anyone is interested, was that the inside of receiver housing and the output on the receiver itself had been clogged with dust, tiny hairs and the like. That must have shorted the tiny thing.
Lesson learned. Get stuck in.

Horrible Outgoing Audio - Mic problem?

Everyone is complaining that my outgoing audio is horrible. They hear me, but it is muffled, with an echo, and not very clear.
I'm not sure if it started when I installed AOKP, or whether it started after I installed the new skin.
Ideas anyone????

Can anyone specify where the two microphones are? I know that one is on the bottom. But I can't find the other one (unless it is on top under the back cover)...?

try turning down the ear piece volume the mic can pick it up

This happened to mine as well. I had to factory reset it, but that fixed the problem. Obviously some update (most likely) or program caused it. Backup everything first (apps media and data). I then reinstalled my apps from the app store then recovered my data from the backup.
Remember, the reset will erase EVERYTHING on the phone -- including "SD" memory.

A couple of questions:
1. which ROM are you on? Are you on stock ROM or AOKP?
2. I did a factory reset before upgrading to AOKP Build 28. A factory reset DOES NOT wipe the SD card. It only wipes app data and rom data. What reset are you talking about?
I'm wondering whether this problem is due to something simple as a modem change. Feedback anyone?

Well I did a factory reset and installed AOKP Build 31 and I still have the same problem.
The factory reset DID NOT format the SD drive, so I have no idea what you are talking about.
Is anyone else experiencing bad outgoing audio?

First of all, I am sorry to hear that you are having this problem. We welcome you to our lives. A lot of CDMA Gnex and a few GSM GNex users had this issue arise more than 4 months ago.
Second of all, I don't think you searched for this issue yet, or you just haven't found it, so I'll do the search for you. This issue is somewhat prevalent.
1) the post I made about this issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604730&highlight=microphone
2) the post most of us with this issue have been following here on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403051
3) And the location map (Although, I personally believe location doesn't even matter because even according to this post, it pretty much happens everywhere):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545621
4) Google Issue Report:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24019
The bottom line:
1) there's no fix as of yet, even if some users naively recommend you to get custom ROMs, Radio, Factory Reset, the chances are, none of will work.
2) due to severe variations among devices, some have whole lot worse than others (happening as soong as 5 sec into a call on every other call), some have it better than others (never had it happen for weeks, but infrequent enough for it to be any "issue" per say.)
3) I have noticed many of the members here at XDA don't even use GNex as a phone that much but rather a very nifty computer you can flash OSs on. Hence, the issue might be a little bit more prevalent than users report simply because many of us don't use this phone as a phone.
4) When you hear from problem free users "You are covering mic with your finger", "It's probabaly user issues, check out the apps that you installed."
Stay calm, just realize that some hasn't seen this issue and do not understand what we are going through.
5) In the mean time, I recommend you not using this phone for business purposes (e.g. try landline or second phone for conference calls, etc). Or even use a flip phone for business purposes. You may also try to get a replacement hoping the other one will have less issue. But it will have it most likely as well.
Let the other party know if your voice becomes robotic sounding and starts breaking up, let them know you'll call them back as soon as you call them.
6) Contact your carrier, and let them know. Many of them actually have been telling all of us the fix is on the way since January, so who knows..
Hope this post saved your time understanding this issue in depth.
Thank you for reading my 4 months of investigation regarding this issue.

Charlescom: I read through your posts and I am doubting whether I have the same problem as you.
My OP stated that people hear me, but it is muffled, with an echo, and not very clear. Your posts state that the microphone cuts out entirely or sound turns robotic. My microphone has never cut out.
Is this really the same problem?

In a broader scheme of things, it is a similar problem or even a same problem.
I had people tell me 1) my voice turned into a static robot that chops up 2) muffled with an echo...as well..

It was the only fix that worked for me--my issues were no onboard working mike and overdriven audio to listener as well as echo. I am on that rom--bcmics 4.0.4

And can someone create the fix in the form of a CWM zip? Most of us have no idea how to use ADB.

Which ROM are you using now on your GNex GSM? I think that AOKP is based on CyanogenMod so I don't think CM9 would work either.

Are you having this problem with calls only or does it happen when you record audio with the mic (I.e. a video or voice recording)?
Personally, I'd stick with stock rom and kernel as the custom stuff often introduce issues here and there and troubleshooting them can be a nightmare.

I just tried a video recording with the front camera and the audio is great. Sound recording in the same conditions with Tape-a-Talk sounds pretty bad (robotic). And calls sound pretty bad too.
Could it be that the stock camera is using/not using the second microphone for noise cancellation, and the calls feature isn't?

[Q] Choppy audio during calls

For about 2 weeks, my audio comes as "choppy" during phone calls. I notice this whether on the regular speaker, speakerphone, and even bluetooth. Its as if my phone service is going in and out (even when i have full service and use wifi). This happens in about 75% of phone calls. If I play music/skype on my phone, the audio works completely fine. It is only during phone calls. I installed the blazer rom about 3 months ago. Thanks in advance for the help that anyone can spare!

I think the choppy service may be a result of being called (service is okay) vs calling others (choppy service)
Again, any help or ideas others may have would be greatly appreciated! i'd ideally not wipe my phone - i'd like to keep all app data, etc.

I'm assuming you are on Blazer ICS build 1.5 or somewhere around there.
If you haven't yet, you should update the kernel to Agats' 0.6.2 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
Boot into recovery, clear cache, go into the advanced menu and clear davlik and fix permissions. See if that makes any difference.

I uploaded the new Kernel Agat 0.6.3. Worked for 2 days, but not the audio call is choppy again. Its only choppy for what I hear, but the person on the other end can hear me fine. Strangely enough, audio came in from a different call (still choppy) on my last phone call... I wonder if it is a problem with Sprint? Any further suggestions on what to do is greatly appreciated!

No audio during calls

As the title say, whenever i make a call or someone calls me i can't hear anything on the other side but they can hear me.
It started suddenly a few days ago, a temporary fix was to keep restarting my phone until it works again but it usually only works for one call and after that its back to no noise. I already tried unrooting, going back to stock and wiping my data completely so its factory reset but the issue still remains.
Thank you for taking the time to read my problem and i hope to read any advice you might have for me.
