[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.......
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.

speak up i can't hear you

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] All sound randomly dropping in/out

For the longest time I was on stock rooted EK02. I recently took the plunge and wiped all and installed CM10, which I love. The only problem I've had is that *all* sound suddenly decides to just go away whenever it wants to (ring/notif tones, touch clicks, app sounds, everything except in-call audio). It might last 5 minutes, or it might last an hour, but it always comes back on its own, and a reboot does not fix it. I can't seem to trigger the problem with a certain app or a certain action, but for example, I will be sitting here playing Angry Birds Star Wars, and the sound will just drop out completely. A few levels later, it comes back on its own. I put the phone down, go do something else, and the entire phone has muted itself again. Frustrating...
I'm on CM10 beta2 nightly 20121108
Kernel version says 3.0.15-CM-g8e7ed92, which seems appropriate since it references CM and this is the first CM I've ever had on the phone. Should I try other kernels though? AFAIK, no one else has mentioned this particular audio problem in the CM10 discussion thread. At least I don't think this is related to the "low volume in some apps" issue.
HOWEVER, something interesting, the baseband/radio version says EK02. I guess I should update that to get better comm, but it couldn't be causing an intermittent muting issue, right? I guess I assumed incorrectly that a ROM installed after a wipe would have to include its own modem. Argh.
This is frustrating, as I said. Thanks for any help.

Wow. 5 days and no replies. Can't someone at least tell me what you think? I've never understood why I can ask a legitimate, polite, and descriptive question after searching the forums as much as possible, and it gets ignored, while someone else can post something completely redundant that barely forms a coherent sentence, yet it sparks a 10 page discussion... frustrating.

I am not exceedingly familiar with cm10 but I would bet it is not the modem causing that issue. I would be inclined to think you have intentionally and / or accidentally changed the "quiet hours" or setup some form of silent profile. Otherwise it was perhaps a bad flash, you did not wipe CLEANLY (IE. calkulins format all or odin a full wipe/restore rim first) or maybe not install with what many revs believe to be a CWM safe kernel???

also do you have anything (pc or stereo) connected to Bluetooth with the phone nearby?

Nobody knows the answer to your questions. This is not a common problem and as mentioned above the modem has nothing to do with it. My only suggestion would be to flash a stock release one click, not a leak, and go from there.

Agree with above and mainly because I borked my build... it was perfect and then I tried a gps fix flash. Can confirm now that wipe in CWM and calks format all does not do crap for aosp, jb, or the like. So long story short, yeah you gotta one click or my guess is best served to clean slate with a stock ROM and in consequently factory wipe and just stay there.....

Wow thanks for the replies guys! I was really getting discouraged there for a bit.
I don't think it's a quiet hours setting, because all sound is cutting in and out *every 5-10 minutes*,
I will use Calk's wipe and start from scratch as suggested.
Although unrelated, surely EK02 is not a recommended modem for CM10, right? I guess I made a naive assumption that a full wipe followed by CM10 install would replace my old modem. I'm just curious what kind of problems might be caused by using such an old modem, even though I know sound is not one of them.
Can anyone recommend a modem for this ROM from personal experience? I understand from the main beta2 thread that the FK modems break 3G...

Just flash a one click, it will wipe everything and install a new modem. I'm using fi27 modem with codename rom, works fine. My current install method is run one click update prl and profile and get gps lock then do the install process of the rom.

Yes. Do this. Then. Format all is still a good idea if you choose to revert to a GB ROM like el29 and progress.

UPDATE: I fixed this.... accidentally. What fixed it is hard for me to believe or accept, but Iv'e confirmed it by being able to reproduce it. The problem was being caused by the FRIKKIN' FACEBOOK APP. :/ I uninstalled the FB app for a totally unrelated reason: battery drain pointed out in another post. I realized the next day that the sound had not cut out once since then, I re-installed FB, and the problem returned quite predictably: all sounds started cutting in and out every few minutes. Uninstalled FB again, and sound has been fine ever since. My best guess is that the sound was cutting out/in each time a background sync of FB occurred. So now my sound is perfect and my battery life is much better to boot. I never used that damn app anyway.
Unrelated, but for what it's worth, I never installed a new modem as discussed above. Still running EK02 with CM10 nightly from 11/28. Have no problems to speak of. I didn't leave it on purpose, (noob mistake, thought CM10 installation would replace it), but I don't see any reason to change it as long as everything seems perfect, unless anyone can tell me what types of problems it could cause. Any further thoughts welcomed, but thanks again to you guys who already gave me advice.

None, modems are interchangeable between builds with the exception of the fk-- and newer modems, they only work with Touchwiz based JB roms. If your modem is performing well speed and call quality wise then there's no need to change. However you could always test other modems to see if you get any improvement in your location. If you choose to change modems you should be on a touchwiz rom so you can update prl and profile after the modem flash. Modems are a YMMV item each one interacts with different devices and locations differently so to find the best modem for you you just need to flash and test them out if you so choose

Thanks KoN! Extremely helpful post, as always. All other replies in this thread have been thanked as well. I learned a lot.
Still wish I knew how FB could make my sound cut in and out every few minutes, but if no one else has seen that issue, it must've been a quirk, so I imagine I'll never know. Moving on....

[Q] s3 stuttering/twitching

I have tried searching for this problem but I must be using the wrong terms... so sorry in advance if I missed a post that addressed this issue.
My sprint S3 does this twitchy/glitching thing on every touchwhiz based jellybean rom (does not do it on TW ICS ROMS) I have tried. It basically makes it nearly impossible to do sliding animations, IE it can actually get stuck and start flashing halfway between screens, or when pulling down the top menu, however you can open new programs just fine if you are already on the right screen for them. Luckily it does not do this all the time, but when it happens it keeps doing for 10 minutes or so and its annoying as hell.
I figured this must be a rare issue even though it effects both my wifes phone and mine, since I have never read anything about it, however I just got a new replacement phone and it does the exact same thing, even on dead stock TW JB ROM.
Oddly enough I discovered last night that if I turn on my screen filter app it stops completely, but it starts right back up when I turn off screen filter..... any ideas how to fix this?

Try grabbing cache clear from the play store and set it to run every 12 hours. It helped my phone a good bit.

Urgent and Serious issue with audio! HELP needed. please!

Guys, I have this one major issue with audio in my phone and its the rarest of the problems! The whole audio output stops completely. By completely, i mean even the receiver sound. completely dumb! cant hear anything if someone calls me. This has been occurring since a month or so. I am running on Cyanogenmod 11 M8. Even if i restart the phone its stays the same way. And all of sudden, randomly, the audio back again, working properly. when it goes dumb it stays like that for 5 6 hours. it happens quite often. this is throwing me off totally.
Device : Galaxy S3 SGH i747 - At&t
This problem happens:
1) when i am on call, suddenly it goes mute.
2) when the phone is kept idle for more than 3 4 hrs. So every morning its dumb when i wake up.
These are what I've tried and what I've found out:
1) I reverted back to stock 4.3 to check if its the problem with audio hardware. But in stock it worked perfectly and flawlessly. no issues there. SO its definitely got to do with cyanogenmod.
2) I flashed ktoonsez kernel on CM 11 M8, to check if its kernel problem. But its happening again. SO its not the problem with kernel.
3) I recently found out that if I wipe the cache from recovery, audio is back working. SO its definitely something in the cache thats messing with the audio. Some app may be.
this thread can be referred for more details on this issue:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/81373-audio-stops-working-from-time-to-time/
and I dont know what else to do now. Ive tried uninstalling all the apps that access audio. But the problem still persists.
I really really need help fixing this one. PLEASE HELP.

I've had that issue a month or two ago but haven't seen it on the latest ROMs. I'm not sure what causes it but I would suggest you flash another ROM if CM messes up with your sound (or another version of CM).

Hi, Thanks for the response. I personally like CM and the extent of customization it offers. I actually dont mind switching cuz sound is bigger deal. Would you mind suggesting ROMs that are similar or comes closer to CM and also good at the same time? which ROM are you on?

Hey it got fixed in the latest nightly ( cm-11-20140721-NIGHTLY ). I had put it in cyanogenmod forum, I guess they read the issue and fixed it. Audio is perfectly fine now! Feels so great to use cyanogenmod again.
Thank you cyanogenmod!

I have this issue too but it doesn't have to do with the audio disappearing; it's simply gone from the get-go after clean flashing a ROM.
As you've said, stock FW and ROM works fine, but anything custom will just totally break it. Seems to be a very isolated issue with the phone itself, I've searched all over for people with the same problem but could never find anything.

Oh. It used to happen to me once or twice. No audio when I install CM, after it boots the first time. I think you should check the new nightly of 7/23. Looks like its fixed. They've fixed a number of audio issues over the last few nightlies. And I've always preferred CM over any other roms, so I've no idea about why it isn't working on other roms.

Thanks for the suggestion, I may as well give it a try since most everything else I've tried has had the same issue.
edit:
Clean flashed latest CM nightly, sound worked for around 2 minutes, then stopped when I plugged headphones in. Rebooted, got it to work via speakers again but then DSP manager force closed and left me without sound.
Rebooted into recovery, cleared cache, still no dice.
Going to try another clean flash to see if I can get sound to last a while longer.
edit 2: It seems to be screwed completely now, no sound after install + reboot.

Screen Glitches,Stock Rooted S3.

I've been getting these glitches/artifacts/tearing on any 4.4+ rom on my T-mobile S3.
It's like the status bar will glitch down to the bottom of the screen.
I'm currently on a 4.3 stock rom (ENC2), It's been rooted with the samsung toolkit and has knox disabled (at least according to the app).
I've tried most current d2lte roms, PA, spirit, ACIP...ect.) and they all have it.
I know for a fact I'm missing something. I just can't remember what it is for the life of me. I know it has something to do with the bootloader/binary. I seem to remember when 4.4.1 came out there was something with the bootloader we had to do and no matter what I search nothing is coming up with the correct solution.
I'm hoping someone could tell me what i'm missing because it seems painfully obvious and I'm missing it, . I really don't enjoy using TW.

We don't ever mess with the bootloader or other parts of the base firmware, so maybe you're thinking of a different device?
When did it start? What was the last thing you did (flash)? Tbh, to me it sounds like a hardware problem. Maybe a connector got loosened, or some moisture/water damage, or even heat damage could cause what you are describing. Especially if its happening on every ROM.
Flash the stock NC2 firmware via Odin and factory reset. If it still happens after that its almost certainly hardware related.

Does it also happen with touchwiz?

So. I ran the knox removal thing from the samsung toolkit and now I don't see them on the latest CM nightly.
I have to test a few other roms but I don't know, it's somehow fixed, thank you for the responses.

Glad to hear it. Be careful with the toolkit though. It is not supported and has bricked devices.

After giving it a few days the issue came back.
I've tested this on a stock nc2 touchwiz as well as your (doc) latest likewise release with no issues with the screen or anything.
For the non touchwiz I tried aicp latest 4.4.4, the latest cm11, the latest aospa weekly and a 4.3 AOKP release (milestone2).
The glitch issue wasnt in the cm release for a day or so then showed up, all others showed up instantly.
I also emergency recovered via kies. Then rerooted. I'm also using the latest twrp
Here is a logcat of the ROM I'm currently on, the 4.3 AOKP. I wish I had more of an understanding of logcats so i knew if I posted the right section.
http://pastebin.com/UyZFHriB

I was curious so I booted up a nandroid of aicp and then restored a backup of the boot from likewise. Results were minimal glitching but no connectivity at all. APNs didn't load and WiFi is broken. I'll post a video shortly of the screen.

The only thing that jumps out on that logcat is where you have this kind repeated several times in a row:
09-18 13:35:38.752 W/ActivityManager( *761): Permission denied: checkComponentPermission() owningUid=10060
But I honestly don't know what its referring to. But I will say that since it appears to be happening on every rom, even stock, it sounds more like a hardware issue. Display problems usually are to begin with, but almost any problem that persists across multiple ROMs and wipes can usually be blamed on a hardware malfunction.
Watch a disassembly video on youtube, then open it up and reseat all connectors. (Don't mess with the antenna. Its fragile and not related to the issue at hand.)

That's the odd thing, On both 4.3 and 4.4.2 versions of touchwiz I don't get the glitching. Only on AOSP based roms. I could just go stick with a touchwiz based rom and be done with it but my personal preference is not using touchwiz. I'm just confused as to what is actually causing this.
I'm guessing it has to have something to do with the bootloader and baseband.
I think i did forget to mention this is a "refurbished" warranty replacement, i regret that I don't recall which specific version it had as stock, I'd guess it has to be enc2?
Here is a poor quality video to show whats happening, on the home screen you see the glitching where the status bar glitches down to the bottom. I tried to get it to do what it sometimes does in both the MLB app as well as the reddit app but it decided not to be as noticeable this time.

Just a side question, I couldn't seem to find a definitive answer, but was it ok to downgrade within the 4.3 bootloaders? I thought I remember reading that as long as you don't go from 4.3 to 4.1.2 it was fine.

Soryy I misunderstood before about it happening on stock. Have you tried any different kernels? I'd suspect that before bootloader. But since it's a refurb, there's just no telling for sure.
Once on 4.3 you cannot downgrade your firmware at all. You can flash older roms, but that's it.
