Well to start its a great phone but issues issues issues my wife an I are on our 5 replacement. Reason being when some one calls half the time can't hear nothing or they can't hear you. Rather mobile network or wifi calling. No matter what ROM either. As well as wifi calling sucks ass! No matter what router or flashable zips that are suppose to help with the issue. Swapped out two different Sim cards. An nothing phones work fine for the first day or so after that turns to ****. TMobile an there retarded Reps an so called tech support oh do a reset maybe a factory restore that should do it. Doesn't fix a damn thing. Oh and a trouble ticket every three days that they never call back about. As well as I have to dial a number a couple of times to get a call to go through. Never had these problems with my HTC phones. But we love our Samsungs. Anyone with the same consistent problems? Something else a rep said was the phones are having issues due to 4.0.4 update and they are working with Samsung to get it resolved but when I called back to find out about the trouble tickets this rep said he doesn't know anything about that.....retards

My wife says the call quality for her stinks but I find mine to be ok. The only Issue I had was with the D30 case the person i'm talking to gets an echo. But I remove the case and there is no issue.

You have bad luck then I have been running Jedi mind trick x1 for a while now (most stable Rom or there atm, highly recommended) and there seems to be no issues at all other than slight lag on startup when pressing the power button. That's because I'm very impatient and want things done fast.

I remember having this problem as well a while back on certain roms that I used, including stock, but I have not had a single issue since I switched the CyanogenMod10 rom. I would say give CM10 a try if you haven't. It's built from the ground up so it doesn't inherit all the weird issues that stock and modified stock roms have. I have never used WIFI calling so I am not sure if that works on CM10, but since switching to CM10 I have not had any of those weird issues where one person can't hear the the other on a call. Also, if you do try CM10 and people you are talking to complain about the voice quality, try enabling Noise Suppression in the phone settings on CM10. Overall CM10 made me fall in love with my phone, its rock solid, stable, fast, and has great usability improvements over the stock based roms.

So I am having a little issue with call volumes. I have to practically yell over the phone sometimes for the other person to hear me. Other times it just feels as if its normal. I am currently running jugs 5.0 with the included faux kernal. Still on kid baseband.
Anyone else with this issue?
I was always on jugs roms, and I don't really recall if its always been like this or not. And yes, I did a full wipe and clean install.

i had the same problem, odin it back to stock and start over. it should be fine, if not then odin back and use a diff modem
I've been having this problem with all ROMS except for the stock ROM from 4.0.3. My noise is heard distorted to others like a synthesizer (robot) and when I switch off noise suppression they can hear themselves echo. What am I doing wrong? Already tried clearing cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions to not avail. I love this ROM more than any ROM I've ever used...but people are having difficulties hearing me.
Edit : before flaming I already checked but none of the answers helped me unfortunately.
Edit #2 : Upgrading to #5 and reverting back to stock 4.0.4 kernel and sound changes Jovy added COMPLETELY ELIMINATED the problem.

I think it might only be with roms that are based off of skyrocket roms. Apparently the position of the microphone on the skyrocket is slightly different, causing echo. (Saw this posted somewhere else on the forums.)
You already posted a thread about this issue.. Read my friend take your time and search...

you need to go to your dialer then settings and enable noise suppression!!!!
and if it still have a problem do it again, mute and unmute

I have the same issue. No amount of noise suppression enable/disable or mute/unmute toggling will fix it. I even odined back to stock and it persisted. The fact that Samsung doesn't acknowledge this as a defect is laughable.
Now, I'm just waiting for tmo to process my exchange and send it out.
I love the Samsung hardware, but so far, I am 2 for 2 on phones with hardware issues that were not considered defects. (a vibrant with a wonky GPS, and now a hercules with a piss poor mic design.)

I remember that lack of GPS on the Vibrant, and the lag on the Vibrant 4G cause of less memory and ram. And now the S2 with the mics problems. I havent search on the S3 to see what kind of defect it has yet but I am thinking on getting one and before I do I'm gonna do a lot of research on it
I still have not even updated to ICS from Ginger Bread lol. My phone is completely stock though, and it took me a long time to actually find a phone where the WIFI calling is perfect. I am so afraid of upgrading to ICS and ruining the feature that I just kept GB. I remember back when ICS came out for the S2, people complained about an echo or delayed voice in calling, and thats the exact reason I switched to the S2 from the Amaze. ( The amaze was fine with wifi calling until I upgraded to ICS )
Has there been any other updates since the original one a few months ago? Or am I the only one still using GB 2.3.6

sorry can't answer your question about wifi calling and call echo, but i believe there's been like 2-3 updates since the first ICS update. I THINK. Well from what most people say, 4.0.4, the latest one is actually very good compared to 4.0.3. you should change your title to something like "is there echo in wifi calling for ics"
Gb is good but new updates means more fixes on pending issues... Nothing wrong with ICS in my opinion as long as you look on the threads for what your needs are and if they can be met. Theres still wifi calling without issues in a few of the new ROMs just not ready to call JB dd material yet dues to the small bugs. That's just my opinion. Some like them and others dont. To each its own. But make the jump and try stuff out, besides, thats what its all about
I just went to jellybean and really love it. GB works, but jb is just so much more aesthetically pleasin. If you don't mind the small bugs and no WiFi calling you should do it

Well, I did it yesterday. I went back to GB (Darkside Digital Warfare 2.7). This was my daily driver for I dont know how long, and I dont recall switching ROMS for one reason or another like I have with ICS based ROMS. Ive tried most of the major ICS ROMS (of course including Beastmade as I mentioned above), but after a few days or a week, it gets...glitchy. Hang ups, strange call issues, gets laggy, whatever. Maybe Im expecting too much from my phone, I dunno. What I DO know is I didnt have ANY issues on GB. Zero. None. Nada. Maybe >>my<< phone just doesnt play well with ICS *shrug*.
After 24 hours, Im not noticing any speed issues after being on ICS ROMS for the last couple of months. Everything just works. I also have missed not having BLN work for stock messaging app...which it does on DDW 2.7. Also the low vibration levels on all ICS ROMS vs GB. Maybe it sounds minor, but its an annoyance for me.
Anyway, since this is kinda the topic of the thread, I thought I'd post.
I used Juggernaut 5.0 (GB) as my DD for so long. I upgraded to T-Mobile ICS when they released it, and had issues receiving/sending text messages. People would say they would never get them or I would never get their response. This might be due to the radio I was using or the location i'm in, but I never had that issue with GB.
I don't use Wifi calling so I can't answer that for you. I recently upgraded to JB (cm10) and am so happy with it. Buttery smooth and no issues for me so far. However I have heard there are some extremely stable ICS roms available (Jedi Knight). I have yet to try that though, I just went straight to JB and love it.
I'm running AOKP Jelly Bean. I have been used to no WiFi Calling for a long time now. If you can get used to the fact that there is no WiFi Calling on AOSP ROMS, than you will be fine.

I think the only echo was from the leaked stock roms wasn't it?
Nope
So I use to run Juggernaut 5.0 and loved it. My phone started to stop charging, no fault of the ROM. My charging port went bad. Sent my phone back and got my new sgs2. It was already on ICS 4.0.4, it has wifi calling. So stock ICS has wifi calling. Its the only thing keeping me from downloading a ROM at the moment.

Has anyone had an issue with connecting to phone calls with T-Mobile lately? I have tried 3 different radios on multiple ROM's with no luck.
Problem kind of goes like this. I'll make a call....phone will not ring and sometimes say call connected, sometimes it won't ever do anything. I'll hang up, call right back and it does ring. This doesn't happen every time but it happens enough to piss you off.
Any help would be great. Thanks community.

I have the exact same issue. Don't know what is causing it. I have also tried different radios and ROMS. Seems to only have been happening on Jelly Bean ROMS, but don't know if that is a cause, or just that I have only been on those ROMS for a while now.
What Radio/ROM are you using? I am on LiquidSmooth with the UVLH5 radio.
I'm currently on the UVLH radio and PACman latest release.
This is annoying, not disabling my phone but annoying at any rate.

Yeah. I have noticed it a lot when I call my girlfriend. It will say it's connected but I won't hear anything and usually it will disconnect. So if it starts doing that I have started hanging up and recalling and it rings from the start. I just found out today though that it is ringing on her end even though I am not hearing anything. She said most of the time I call it rings, I hang up, and then call right back, but to me, it seems like it's not connecting the first time.
Same thing happens sometimes when I receive calls, I will answer and hear nothing and have to hang up and call back. I wonder if its a T-Mobile thing in our area.
This is a typical issue with Samsung phones and T-Mobile and has been noted in multiple threads.

Hi, I currently have the SGS2 from T-Mobile and would like to give it to my mother-in-law and get the SGS3 for myself. I was wondering if there are any known issues for this phone? Like, currently, on the SGS2, using Wifi, I get calling issues, dropped calls, Audio issue...Someone said that there might be the same issues for the SGS3 as well...can anyone confirm this? What are some other issues that might have arisen?
Or maybe point me in the right direction for T-Mobile user issues...I have seen some of the other carrier ones, but I am concerned with T-Mobile....Thanks!!!

Roger on the OCD! I have my issues too....has anyone come out with a mod for that?..I can live with it. I'm hoping there's no performance issues like the S2 has with Wifi calling...everything else, I can probably live with....I hope....
I wouldn't call WiFi calling a "performance" issue but I would call it an issue with the s3. Comparing it side by side with my old G2X the s3 is a flop sad to say, with WiFi calling. I'm pretty sure 4.+ ROMs changed WiFi calling and made it terrible.
Other then that the S3 is a performance beast with tiny hardware stuff... screens having dead pixels, very un-common. loose hardware buttons, little tiny things like that.

WIFI calling works fine on stock rooted. I have no signal in my house (from any network) and rely on WIFI calling there - and I've never had an issue. I've heard some people are having issues that might have to do with their router set-up.

AOSP influenced is anything available for the SGS III that is not TouchWiz, CyanogenMod, AOKP, AOSP, Parandroid, SlimBeam and so and so on. None of those will have Wi-Fi calling built in natively. There are apps out there though be people stand by to do them well (BobSled) I think it is.

It doesn't have to do with rooting.. I am rooted right now and I can use every feature the stock phone comes with, but if you start flashing different roms and want to keep the same features like WiFi calling and a few others, you would have to look for a touchwiz based ROM..

Exactly. You should read more though if you weren't sure of those kind of things. Look into backing up your imei, and which recovery to use, and how to revert to complete stock after rooting and flashing. Best recommendations I can offer to someone so they don't have to make a thread on something that has been discussed countless number of times like others do everyday haha.
