[Q] Issues with Audio JB update - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey,
I was trying to install the latest JB update for my AT&T GSIII (UCDLK3) using the rooted insecure Odin file (the one that doesn't trip the counter). Before I had it, I had Serenity 1.2 installed on my phone. Everything was working fine, up until the point when I started using this rom. I had noticed that when I make calls, there would be an echo, but I didn't really notice it until I was using my bluetooth headset since there was a short delay. At the time, I had thought it was an issue with the Beats audio app that I installed, so I uninstalled it to no avail. After that, I tried resetting back to stock by re-reruning the Odin file. After that, the audio problem still persisted, so I tried installing the latest Sammy kernel (KT747), but even that doesn't work. I tried using the Odin file for two other phones, both without any audio issues. Does any one have any ideas what's causing this? Thanks in advance!

Bluetooth problem - need help

Bluetooth problem - need help
Here is my situation. I have a EVO 4G Rooted with rooted 3.29.651.5.
My phone's bluetooth paired perfectly with my car for several months.
Then I installed Vlingo and my bluetooth stopped working with my car. I uninstalled Vlingo and the bluetooth worked only sporadically. Since then I have tried almost everything I can and have searched for weeks to get this to work.
I have tried:
* complete wipe and reinstall of ota rooted rom
* reinstalled Vlingo tested, then unistalled again
* deleted and then restored backups of BrcmBlueToothServices 1.0 and Bluetooth Share 2.2
* deleted BrcmBlueToothServices 1.0 and Bluetooth Share 2.2 then flashed rooted ota rom to get clean copies back again (I hope)
* Unpaired my Evo from my car then paired them again.
* Upgraded to rooted 3.30.651.2n.
* Flashed a new King's Kernel #11 (2.6.32.24-king-hav-OcUv)
I know it is not my car as my wife as the same phone I have. I rooted it and except for the recent kernel change on my phone the only real difference is that I never put Vlingo on her phone. I can pair her phone perfectly with my car and it works great just like mine did before Vlingo.
I'm not an expert, my learning curve was huge to get to root and I have done a lot of reading to try to figure this out.
ANY help would be appreciated! I need my phone to work with my car as I'm on the phone a lot.
The kernels will break bluetooth on the CM builds.
The CM framework has been redone and there are few compatable kernels. Yes kings kernel will work, but not everything. Currently, there is no custom kernel (beside the stock CM kernel in each build) that will work and keep bluetooth working on CM roms

Thanks You very much for your response. Since my technical level is a little limited let me see if I understand. You are saying that my rooted stock ROM is a Cyanogen Mod Build. That ROMS made using this with stock kernels should work with Bluetooth, but if you use a custom kernel there could be a problem.
If this a correct understanding, the only problem is that I was using the stock kernel that came with the ROM and it was working fine for weeks. Then I installed Vlingo and the problem arose. I then unistalled Vlingo and the problem still persisted. Days later I then switched kernels in an attempt to fix the problem. I have the same problem regardless of which kernel I use.
Do you have a suggestion for a solution? Again, thank you.

i have the same problem did everything mentioned above, rooted my wife evo and mine my Bluetooth doesn't work on mine hers does, maybe the devs could make a backup flashable zip for Bluetooth and htc syn that would be great
Using rooted file manager, I can get to the bluetooth.apk and BrcmBluetoothServices.apk files. When I click on either one of them I get a message that asks:
"Replace Application
This is a system application. Do you still want to replace it?
All previous user data will be saved."​
Question, If I say "OK" what does it replace with? Maybe replacing these two files will change things for me so I can get my BLuetooth function back again.
Any comments?
Nothing I have done has gotten my bluetooth function back again. I'm desperate. Anyone have any ideas. What is frustrating is that my wife's Evo will work just fine in my car, but mine has not ever since I tried Vlingo.
There must be a way to reinstall bluetooth without having to do a factory reset and start all over again. (And I'm not sure that would do it anyway.)
Anyone with suggestions?
Update: I just flashed the updated stock ROM (New_RUU_Supersonic_3.30.651.3_Deodexed_signed - http://www.4shared.com/file/yLaxLUnJ...RUU_Super.html) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836728.
"So Far - So Good" as my bluetooth suddenly worked again. I have flashed the previous stock 3.30.651.2 ROM and nothing changed. This also comes with a updates stock kernel. So who knows, may be this update fixed the problem. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
BTW, I forgot to wipe anything when I did this update. All good so far.
Later: It works better but not consistent. I still have problems where after a phone call I have to turn the bluetooth off, then on again to make or receive additional phone calls.
I think i fixed my bluetooth !!!!!!
I THINK I FIXED IT !!!!!!
Wow after over 2 months of searching, learning, and trying everything I could think of (other than unrooting and going stock) I stumbled upon what seems to be a solution.
Here is what I did:
Using ASTRO file manager I opened up the "system" folder then opened the "app" folder. From there I scrolled down to the "BrcmBluetoothServices" file and long clicked it until the "File Options" appeared. Then I selected "Edit" and on the next pop-up I selected "Delete". (I was desperate and was going to delete it and reinstall from scratch).
When I selected Delete, a confirmation box appeared that said something that caught my eye like, "Are you sure you want to delete the update as this will return the file to stock?" (or something like that). WOW, when I heard delete the update I figured that Vlingo may have updated this file causing the problems. So I said yes. The update was deleted.
The BrcmBluetoothServices file remained but evidently it reverted to its original stock format. I noticed that my Evo no longer showed a pairing with my car. So I went to my car and deleted that pairing as well and then re-paired my car and phone.
Success! I have been using it for a day and so far so good. My Evo instantly connects with my car when I turn the car on, and I can make and receive phone calls normally. It has only been one day, but it looks good so far!!!
This did fix the problem. Working now for 2 weeks.

[Q] CM9 Can't reflash modem - horrible call quality

I currently have CM9 alpha 6 with the ff18 modem installed.
When I make calls, both ends sound very garbled. I tried to trouble shoot by enabling/disabling 'enhanced voice privacy' as well as messing with the settings in DSP manager. I also tried disabling Google Voice, thinking that could be the source of the problem. Nothing worked.
After all that, I figured I would try reflashing the modem to el29, ff31, or fg20. When I tried in both the included CWM and also el29-directbootCWM-v3, I would get an error "e:error in (status 6)" and the flash would fail. I also tried to flash the tar.md5 versions of the modems through Mobile Odin, everything would appear to flash properly, but when I rebooted and checked the baseband version it still said "S.D710.10 S.FF18".
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I use this phone for work calls I'm not new to rooting / flashing but this is a new issue for me. Thanks!
[Edit] The modem flashing issue is resolved, but I still have the call audio problem.
Any suggestions or ideas?

Are you able to update profile and PRL on CM9? i don't think so though, but I've never flashed CM9 yet...

I was able to update the PRL & Profile using the Temporary Stock E4GT from emmc (http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/2012/05/temporary-stock-e4gt-from-emmc.html). Still did not help with the sound quality.
Long story short, I finally was able to flash to another modem using Odin -- I am now on FG20. I used the temp stock e4gt from emmc to update the Profile & PRL, but i still have horribly garbled call audio.
Any recommendations on what else to troubleshoot? Or should I just wipe & reflash?
...hoping this isn't actually some hardware issue.

Plenty of problems

I currently am running the latest Hotfire (4.4.2) rom, but do not believe my issues are from it because I have run at lease 8 different roms, and am having issues with them all, basically when I flashed the latest firmware (4.3), and the latest modem (UVUEMJC).
With this rom, I am having problems making calls, either through wifi, or network. On network calling, it says connected, but I don't have any sound coming through the headset or speaker. When I try to make a wifi call using either Talkatone or grooveIP, I get the same issue except using Talkatone, there's a pop up error message saying it cannot initialize the call. The app then resets itself, but then the phone reboots.
I am also having issues where when I try to drop down the status bar (I'm using the latest Nova Prime launcher), it won't drop, nor can I make it or the dock disappear. I can move from page to page, though only a few times. Then the phone completely freezes, and I have to do a battery pull.
I did not encounter these issues until I flashed the latest firmware and modem. Now, even roms I used before that were completely stable, are no longer reliable. I have tried to Odin a couple times, redownloading the firmware & modem to make sure I had stable files, but have the same issues. I have also did an Odin, then reinstalled my apps one at a time without data, then put the data back one at a time. No luck.
Any thoughts or help with this would be appreciated.
Forgot to mention I am running tmo S3.

I was having weird problems once. I actually formatted the whole system using the stock android recovery (i think that's what I used). Internal storage and all before I Odined and re-rooted. Hope that gives you some ideas. Good Luck.

[Q] Galaxy S4 no audio across multiple roms and stock

So I am a heavy rom flasher, which is probably why I'm having this issue in the first place... but I havent been able to figure it out and I'm hoping someone here can help me with it!
So I had to wipe my phone the other day due to my play store not working and I usually just flash the system to get it working again.
This time though, when I installed the new rom I had no sound! DSP manager kept crashing and I thought that was strange. So i re-flashed my rom (cm-11) still the same issue. Flashed stock software, no audio. reflashed and rerooted cm. STILL NO AUDIO
Can someone help me out here? How do I get my audio back D:
EDIT:
My sound was working up untill i flashed a new rom
AND
Every time I flash a new rom USB debugging is already enabled o_0 Maybe meaning that there is some configurations left behind that need to be wiped
Fixed
Okay so for anyone else who is having this issue, I just fixed it by flashing the 4.4 modem.bin file to my phone via odin.

Problems with audio in calls from handset since changing to 5.0gpe

sorry if this is abit long winded,
hey everyone, not sure whats going on here. this is the tmob variant but i had moved over to a gt-i9505 rom dandroids stock gpe 5.0 back almost a month ago, this was upgraded from jamals 4.4.4 gpe which was working great. i installed the googly 1.2.3d kernel and that was also working well. i noticed that i forgot to fully reset all my storage and noticed jamal brought out a 5.0 rom so i swaped to that and wiped everything about a week ago and at first didint notice any issues.
then i recived a call and answered it on the handset and for the first few mins it was working fine all of a sudden something glitched and i had no audio like the call droped i hung up called back no audio. reset the phone same thing. just a day before this happened i updated the kernel to 1.2.5 googly for gpe5, so i figure this is it so i reflash and reset storage and no change. oddly this entire time there have been no problems with calls when using my bluetooth headset.
long story short i have installed and wiped one about 3 different roms including the dandroid that was working ok. i am now all the way back to the 4.4.4 jamal rom that i was on before i started and the problem is persisting. when i call someone the other party hears a high pitch squealing sound but only via the handset the "ok google" is working fine. i have not restored the nandroid backup yet.
baseband is m919uvufnb4
i have the current version of the twrp as what i have been installing everything from.
happy to provide more info. i know im still on the pre knox bootloader
and when i get home im going to try my wife sim see if that changes anything.
Update
Wife's sim changed nothing
Also wanted to say that I also read about a apn reset trick that was supposed to help. I did fix it one time but it recurred again and and since stopped working
Having that same issue gpe 9505 5.0 no audio in calls unless I'm using Bluetooth no handset no speaker
You guys Ned to update your bootloader and everything will be fixed.
You can only get so far with ancient bootloaders before the wheels come off.

How do you do that
You need to Odin the latest version NK2, you can find it in general section, ShinySide has a mega link to download firmware.
Follow instructions and you will have a S4 that works properly.
You can use chainfire's auto root in original development to root.
