Hi guys, got a strange issue here. Whenever I dial a number the phone will ring a few times then the signal bars will jump from whatever they are on to nothing with an x and call will fail. However; the phone will still be ringing on the other persons end, and if I redial then it will jump into the call I tried to make previously. The same could happen again during the call. Strangely, this only seems to happen when I bring the phone up to my ear, if I use hands-free it only happens 1 time out of 10. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using SuperNova Xtreme ROM, any more info needed?

Same peoblem here with stock... Heard it's a bug with proximity sensor. Does your phone drop the signal when you lock the screen?

Just checked and yes it does! Do you know of a fix?

Unfortunately, I have also read that there is no fix for that bad luck for us, I guess
Well, I've just done a quick Google and found that sometimes simply taking the back off the phone and hoovering everything out can help, as well as blowing/hoovering on the line between the earpiece and the screen. I'll try it out and post my findings.

tried playing about with *#*#4636#*#* (dialpad) phone settings and preferred network type?

Hey, I've managed to fix it, but only by flashing with an entirely new ROM/RUU. It's the only thing I could find to fix the issue.

lucky you I tried flashing 2.3 RUU again but the problem is still there
So whenever I try and make a call I don't hear a ringing but when I receive a call, I can hear the person fine. Just recently happened. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to fix it? I'm reflashing now
BTW running cleangb
Try doing a factory reset, and then reflashing rom

When I get a phone call the person calling me gets an echo but it's fine on my end... I was on aokp/cm10, then went back to stock and the problem still persists. Any ideas?

Same. Every time I talk to my girl she asks if I put her on speaker phone when I didn't.

That's weird, what all did you do after you went back to stock? Wiping process, what rom, and kernel?
I just got off two calls that said I was echoing really bad. I haven't been on cm in a while, and had no reports of it yesterday. What roms are you guys running.

If you're still on stock then try this:
open up your "Phone" app or dialer then press the menu button then "Call settings" then scroll down to "Additional settings" then uncheck the "Noise reduction" feature.
Now try making a phone call to check if whoever you call hear themselves echo. Good Luck.

Thanks and thanks again. I didn't think that would be checked naturally. That's what I get for rooting my phone and flashing the first hour I got it. Thanks again.

I was on aokp when it first started doing it, then restored a backup which was stock + root, checked the settings, problem persists, went to aokp rc1 did a full wipe, dalvik, cache partiton, formatted system, and problem is ongoing.... beginning to wonder if its a network problem?

Been flashing custom firmware ever since this phone came out and never had this problem until now...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
The only other thing I can think of is Odin back to straight stock, no root and see if that fixes it, when I get home I will try it and report back.

Same here, but for some reason I've been very happy with the latest stock build.
I've noticed that some units are fine with the "Noise reduction" setting checking in and some don't regarding the echo problem.
It wouldn't hurt to try to replace your SIM card. Head out to a T-Mobile store to get a free replacement (If your current line is under your name in the account) SIM cards do go bad...
Does this happen everytime, on every call?
The echo you mentioned, do you mean to the other person you sound echo-y like in a cave or tin can, or is it that the other person hears what they are saying with a half second or so delay, where it makes it hard to talk because they are trying to talk over themselves?
If its the hollow cave/can sound it may well be your phone, if it happens every time. If its the other issue its probably a bad connection. Every time its happened to me, if I hang up and call again it would work normally again.

Odd. I've never seen that happen on every call! Is it hat way for everyone you call?
Try flashing through the radios again testing each one.
I've seen where some were having probs or just no improvement with a new radio but reflashing it solved everything.

did a full wipe again, went back to stock, and now the issue seems to be corrected. :good:
So I went back to stock using Odin, that took care of the problem for me, then I went back to aokp last night, my gf called me and said the echo was back... I hung up on her, restored my new stock backup, called her back, and no echo... I'm not saying it's the Rom or anything but that's what had happened.

Walters? Did you read the thread of AOKP or any of the cm10 variants. Cause half the reports of the last 10 pages include talk about the echo. Just a heads up. It is a cm10 issue, and known. And seems to be being worked out.

No I haven't, i was going on Twitter and goo.im taking whitehawx latest builds, for a while their wasn't a active aokp thread, so I all but gave up on xda and was getting it from alternative sources. But it's good to know it's just a bug and not something that was an anomaly with just my phone lol.

Definitely, there is a thread in the dev section. Someone is playing the mirrors from twitter and goo.im so you can see there what the issues and stuff are.

Hi guys. I have a rooted at&t samsung note 2. I have this problem with my phone since I bought it. Each time I use the speakerphone or the video chat on Skype, Tango, or viber the other party stops hearing me! As if my mic stops working! This happens only if I turn the speaker on and not when I use earpiece! It doesn't happen when I do regular calls.
Not sure what the problem is. Is it compatibility issue or something wrong with my phone. The new update didn't fix it and it is really becoming a frustrating issue.
I appreciate your help.

I had the same issue, you a probably using a mod that is messing it up. Factory reset and see if it works. If it does then you know it was a mod of it doesn't then it is defective.

I did factory reset. Same problem . Do you think it is a hardware problem? Strangely, it does that only with Skype, Viber, Tango but not with the native phone app.. When I make regular phone calls the speaker phone works well as well as the mic.
Any other suggestion before I head back to AT&T store?
I appreciate any help.
The phone otherwise works great.
I have that e same problem. Did u fix urs?

Hi guys, I just flashed my phone with the latest jelly am 4.2.1. And I have two serious problems.
First, after the installation, my phone has problem on making a phone call. It would be silent or a annoying cracking sound. Sometimes, when I try pick up a phone call, I could not hear anything from the phone. BTW, this only happens to jellybam ROM.
Second, the camera has problems too. I get error messages, "cannot find camera" and "gallery has stopped".
There are still couple issues, but they are not that important to me. Can someone tell me if I can fix these problems? Thank you!
