no sound on call with the new UVLH1 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

i'm sorry but anyone noticed the issue of the new UVLH1 update or i'm the only one? when i make a call i have no sound on the phone neither to know that i'm connected with the other side nor to hear him?? even if it's not all the time but it's annoying sometimes to make 3 or 4 call to have one!! anyone have the same issue or a solution please?? i'm on UVLH1 rooted

Might be a bad install. Try wipe cache and fix permissions
That will do. If not reinstall and so the wipe again

I had this problem when using my Plantronics Voyager Pro. To fix it I wiped data from all system apps involving blue tooth.

still nothing
i tried almost every thing, i tried to wipe cash, to do a factory reset, to reinstall the rom, still the same problem

This problem happened again for me as well, but only on cdma. Try switching your phone to gsm only and see if it functions. That is what seemed to fix mine. (I know, not really a fix. I am just curious if the problem is a bug in the new radio.)

im haveing the same prob as well. it takes 3-4 times b4 the call will work and the same on incoming as well..talked to tmo and well waiting on them to send me replacement its on back order. on a side note i had this prob on a rooted device running uvlh1

That post perfectly describes my device. Now, try going to Wireless Network settings and select Gsm only and see if it stops hanging on connect.

i prefer not to do that, i'll lose my fast connection, i prefer to downgrade to 4.0.3 rather than to do that, but only i'm worried if that will happen to me again when i do that

I just hoped you might try it to see if it was a viable workaround.

Try a different radio towle has a mirrors thread in the stickies somewhere in the tmo sgsii forums. I think most of them have the RIL removed but check to be sure.

I found LH1 to be a superior data radio, but with poor call performance.
These being *phones*, I flashed back to the LE1 radio.

Same problem. I get sms from places where there was no reception before but call quality sucks. some of my friends couldn't hear me aside from the no sound calls.
Might revert back to LE. Using TDJ's cm10 rom.

I've noticed the same problem, but I can deal with it, as I text/surf more than I call. It usually fixes itself on the second attempt of a phone call for me, though. Don't wanna downgrade radio since I love my ROM.

You are not alone my friend...I am having the same exact problem with 2 of my Galaxy S2's on TM....

Use the UVLE1 radio. I haven't used one ROM thats worked well with UVLH1.

You need a custom recovery and you need to know how to use it (the recovery you have).
Again, towle has a sticky with mirrors MANY helpful downloads. a flashable zip of uvle1 radio was in it the last time I checked.
If you don't know how to check if a flashable radio has a ril then flash the radio, THEN your ROM. Custom ROMs tend to have custom rils and it is best not to overwrite them.
----
As an end note, I'm using lh1 and have been on every ROM I've used (tried too many to remember), not everyone has issues; it may depend on the area you are in.

I agree!!!!
I just Re-flashed both my phones to GINGERBREAD 2.3.6 UVLDE That I got from Here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=4798 using the ODIN software and a great walk though found Here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-t-mobile/628449-how-odin-any-stock-rom.html
So far, we haven't had any calling issues as of yet....Plus, the phone is super fast again!! I noticed that with ICS on the phone, and Factory Reset with nothing on it, My RAM was tipping between 500-600 MB of use!! and now that we are back to Gingerbread, it's at 295-340MB....Which is a HUGE difference!!!!!
Let's hope, that maybe it might be defective SIM cards or chips like you said, but I am also tired of wiping these phones and starting all over again!!! I think Im gonna stay with GB for now......It's woking as intended anyway...

I'm having this issue where when i make or receive a call at times there is no sound and either party cannot hear. This happened to me on GB too. After monitoring it for a long time, i figured that it only happens when inside home where i get poor reception and not outside or places with good reception.
When i'm at home i usually get 1-2 bars of signal. Often, when i get a call and i don't get any sound, i look at the signal strength and it is at 4 bars but as the call disconnects it drops back to 2 and then if i make or receive the call then it goes fine.
I searched around the net i see this issue is with S3 users too, when they have poor reception they do not get any sound on call. I'm thinking that it has to do something with the radio hardware or holding reception in low reception areas.

Loss of network

My issue is whenever I hook up to wifi my mobile network drops not allowing me to make phone calls. This ask started once I rooted my phone. I'm running the stock rom as well. The only solution is for me to reboot my phone. Is there anyone else having this issue, and is there a solution?

Just doin to the stock Rom. It fixed los for me. And it updates your radio
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
FYI OP, this is all over the place under LOS, or Loss Of Service.
These issues haven't had one guaranteed fix (or any reproducible permanent fix that I have seen.)
Reported LOS occurs in low signal/roaming situations, when wifi is on, or unbeknownst completely... all these depending on the user, and solutions are equally thin and subjective.
Most likely there is no current fix for your issue until an official update occurs. Until then you can probably try to placebo the problem away like most people here.
... and your other issue can be solved here

Loss of Network is what occurs when someone ditches Sprint for a phone that comes out on another carrier that isn't broken (which in this case is a fairly substantial sort of broken for any regular user) from day 1 and counting...
We XDA lurkers/trolls/devs, we are the ones that stick, for better or worse, until that update comes out that makes the phone function... a phone whose modems are working 100% of the time for the major reason we bought it, to use as a phone, with signal and data and the like.
LON is a new problem now so we can start another slew of threads about it.
Okay, I didn't know what los stood for, but I appreciate all the help. Now I know. I'm glad it wasn't something with my phone.

Poor/no signal strength on vzw...radio issue?

Hey guys
So I bought this phone on Craigslist so I cannot have it replaced by verizon. When I got it I did a full wipe and reset. Then I installed franco's kernal and am currently running bugless beast with job 4.1.1.. The issue is that my signal is constantly disappearing or just poor in general.
I found a method that was supposed to fix this problem by raising the minimum CPU to 700mhz. But this did nothing.
Will installing a new radio help? If so which one do you recommend? Or am I just screwed?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I have found that using the stock 4.0.2 radios has helped me a lot. They have given me a 70% improvement in dropped signal and poor audio quality. Having said that its still way worse than any other 4g phone I have ever owned. Lol. (Bionic,revolution,Droid charge, Droid razr, rezound, thunderbolt)
PS I am on my second nexus, still does it.

If the screenshot in that article means anything, the new update still has the FC04/FC05 radios. Maybe they tweaked the stock ROM a bit for better reception, but if that's the only change then the update won't help anyone running a Jelly Bean ROM. You'd be forced to go back to stock for the better reception.

I have extensive knowledge on this issue its your baseband version if its 09 your good your radio will be great. You have 10. Check under your settings and you will see. Its under baseband version in about phone. Good news is you can return to Verizon.just don't tell them u bought it on Craigslist. I returned mine off CL.

Nope the store can't do anything for you. You have to call tech support and say you have a horrible data issue. Then they will mail you a new one. Return to factory before you call that way if they ask questions regarding , build number, etc. you'll have it to read .

Compared to other nexus's or are you in a bad reception area? I'm not gonna argue w you but I went through 8 replacement nexus and the only one that worked was a 09 and based off EXTENSIVE internet research that seems to be the case w almost everyone.

I've had the signal problem with both the 9 and 10. My first phone was a 10 with no problems. I have a 9 now with no problems, but had both with problems in between.
One work around I found was to switch to cdma only. Not great to not have 4g but at least data works and no dropped calls.

That's very odd cause on the 8 replacements I went through, none ever had no problems , the problems were consistent. That's odd that you had a phone with no problems and it started acting up. The 10 and 9 are made in different places from what I've been told from Verizon, and the 09 supposedly dont have the radio issue. Out of all the replacments I got, the first one (and only) to work was a 09 from Korea.

[Q] Very weak signal on Note II. Radio Help?

Hey XDA Fam bam!
I have the T-mobile branded Note II and i'm experiencing the following problem:
Very weak signal.
Here's a little background. I rooted the phone and installed pmtr3 first V1 Rom and everything was perfect.
Then played around with other roms too and then the signal went every weak.
Then when I went back to pmtr3's first rom my signal did not improve. I would lose connection
everywhere. I replaced my tmo sim card, but I still experience this problem. I also went back to my stock nandroid backup, but it still did not help my signal problem.
Is there some sort of radio or modem I can flash? Am I the only one experiencing this problem?
I'm thinking it can be a hardware problem, but Idk. What input do you have my XDA fam bam?

Sometimes if you press the issue they will replace it with a comparable model. They certainly have the T999L in stock if you want to ask if that's a possibility. Dont expect it to work, but could be worth a shot...

If the flash doesn't help, wait another day or two and call back if it doesnt improve. Tell them you'd like to have a help ticket escalated because their last attempts did not help. Just try to get them to put you in contact with a tech who has the ability to deal with things on a more specific level. Most likely you only got the first level of support. They don't have many permissions to deal with a lot of issues. A lot if them are told that account resets will fix everything it seems like!
Hopefully though, things will jusy improve as they work on towers and upgrades.

[Q] Earpiece not working, volume tweaking!

Well I noticed that my earpiece quit working on the N2 today and my volume goes down all on its own... any ideas? It was dropped bu only like 18". Its taken many falls in the past with no problems...
[EDIT]
SO, I am not so sure its a fall thing... It fell at about 2pm and I have made and received calls SINCE then just fine... It's degenerative. Examples: First, I could not hear out of the handset earpiece... but people could hear me. Now, a few hours later, they can also NOT hear me which indicates the phones mic is not working... IF I turn on Speaker Phone, it works fine and I can communicate just great with anyone/everyone... also works with my car hooked up to Bluetooth just fine... So, could the Tweaked ROM I am running be screwing with something? Should I just try to flash another ROM and see what happens? I have already tried the last modem and the newest modem, both which had no effect on the situation... Any info would be greatly appreciated!
I would try another ROM to see because I am having somewhat similar issues with no drops at all. I had this in TOUCHWIZ and it was bad. But when I switched to PAC-rom I have different volume issues. Certain (newer I believe) headphones play either double out the phones as well as my integrated speaker and once I had the volume phreak out going up and down inadvertently.
I just love my ROM sooo much that I am dealing with it for now. PAC-rom 4.3 JB nightly updates on Galaxy note 2.
