[Q] Distortion on Outgoing Voice on Some Calls

I have tried to do a number of searches and am not finding any relevant information. If this is a known bug, please forgive me.
I am using a red MyTouch 3G Slide, running Cyanogen 6.1.1. I have already flashed back to engineering, down every wipe I see available, and then flashed back to C6.1.1, and the problem persisted. Unfortunately, I was not able to test for it while on the eng build; I'd rather avoid flashing back to that or any stock ROM (having trouble finding a untouched stock ROM, to be honest) but of course if that seems like a good place to start with trouble-shooting I can do it.
This is my first Android phone, and I don't know my way around everything, nor all the lingo yet.
The problem I am encountering is that, seemingly strictly on out-going calls, in some instances upon connection the person I am calling is greeted by heavy distortion of my voice. Switching to speakerphone and then back to handset resolves the issue for the duration of that call. To make things trickier, the contacts affected by this are ALWAYS affected by it; I have to switch to speakerphone and then back, and suddenly the call is crystal clear.
This has been verified with multiple independent contacts who do not know each other; they are not conspiring to prank me. Furthermore, I have noted the problem affects both land-line and mobile contacts. However, it does not affect all of my contacts.
This does not seem to affect incoming calls.
Any ideas?

That is a very strange issue. First step is to get CR_Mod OTA from the development section here, and flash that through clockwork recovery. See if it happens on that. CR_Mod is just the rooted stock ROM with wifi tether and superuser app, that's it. If it still happens there, then I would try getting a replacement SIM card from t-mobile, it MIGHT be a bad SIM, although that seems less likely.

Thanks mate! Actually, I'm running it on Wind Mobile in Canada. Currently a friend is borrowing the phone to test; if he encounters problems then I'll try the ROM you have suggested and report back, otherwise it's fresh SIM time. Thank you for responding.

[Q] Frequent updte from Samsung?

Hello all. I have my Note rooted with a custom recovery, but I have not flashed a rom. Well, I have flashed a few, but I've since gone back to stock and re-rooted because the bluetooth issues are a dealbreaker for me.
Here is the actual question. I've been getting a lot of updates from samsung. I came from an HTC Evo - and HTC rarely did updates. Has Samsung really released 3-4 updates in the last 2 weeks? Or is my phone just not properly installing them? The android version is 4.1.1, also not sure if this is all the way current. I just checked on the update your phone page in the system settings and it says I am current...

I'm running the same thing as you (stock, rooted with custom recovery) and I have not had an update recently. Mine is currently 4.1.1 as well, with the L900VPALJC build. I agree that it's the BT streaming that's keeping me from custom roms right now

I've had issues not only with A2DP, but also with call quality on BT as well. It sounds choppy and has TERRIBLE range on at least 3 different roms...Paranoid Android is awesome on our 5.5" screen, but I cant talk on the phone or use Slacker radio Hopefullt someone does a better job with the BT drivers sometime soon.

I imagine once the CM blue tooth problems are fixed the roms using it will get stepped up. I downloaded Macksrom today to run a trial to see how the improvements are. Though now that I know ADW isn't messing up my phone anymore I may just stick with stock for now. I have a current backup and I'm feeling bored, so I'll most likely **** around with it this weekend

[Q] Intermittent Call Audio Issues?

Hey All,
So, I'm having a weird issue with my T-989. I get intermittent audio loss upon making and receiving calls. Refer to the following examples:
Call comes in; I swipe to answer..."Hello...Hello...Hello....-__-" I can not hear the person on the other end of the call and they are un able to hear me. I've asked countless people that call me on a daily basis on their experience when this happens. They say the call connects but no audio; they then get confused and hang up if I don't end the call my self. Normally I'm the one that ends the call now and I'll call back....sometimes I hear ringing and I know that it'll work ok.
Sometimes, the call log counter starts....but I hear no ringing, HOWEVER the person I'm calling is actually being called and tries to answer the phone...but because I don't hear the ringing...I don't even realize that the phone has established a connection.
Sometimes....everything works fine. I'll answer the phone and it'll work like a charm or I'll make a call and it'll work like a charm. Two hours later...same weird issue.
I wanted to know if people had similar problems.
It's getting increasingly annoying at this point. At first I thought maybe it was my service. Then I thought it was my ROM / Radio. Honestly, I know people who have the same service and plan as me.
Phone is running P.A.C 22.0.1
This issue happened on older versions of which I completed wiped and re installed newer versions of P.A.C; it happened on AOKP; happened on Paranoid Android.....
I'm guessing the only thing I haven't tried changing is the Radio that comes with each ROM.
I am on the T-Mobile Pre Paid Unlimited Talk / Text w/ 500mb Data plan. [I work in data centers, unlimited INTERWEBS!]
Anyone else have similar symptoms? I'll be getting the S4 soon, but I wanted to resolve this issue before hand because I'll be giving it to a friend.
Thanks in advance for any help! :victory::highfive:

I have been living that same issue for months, between several ROMs and kernels and radios. Ive learned to use this process......answer call, wait 3 seconds, then saying "hello". I know, its silly.
I have noticed its seems worse when answering calls from others running aosp (cm10)roms.
I've have not tried any touchwiz ROMs

Waiting 3 seconds and then saying hello works? For me the issue happens when placing calls as well. I installed the newest P.A.C last night when I posted the OP, so far no problems. I'll update again if I have any issues moving forward.

What radio are you using?

Now - UVMC6
As I said, as of yet, I haven't had any issues. Let's see over the next couple of days....

[Q] Not able to make or receive calls

I have the galaxy note 2 for sprint rooted with synergy rom and perseus kernel. I am able to use data just fine but can not make or receive voice calls. Sprint has been able to temporarily fix the problem. I also did a backup and reset that fixed it temporarily. I have read that other users with rooted phones are having similar issues and even people without rooted phones are having problems with sprint's network. I can't tell if my issue is because my phone is rooted or because the galaxy note 2 on sprint is having issues. Should I just restore it to stock firmware?

I've had that issue as well. I was on a stock rooted ROM at the time. I restored the phone to stock, and still had the issue. I think my issue was Google Voice. I like it for voice mail. I didn't do the whole Sprint-Google Voice integration. Sprint had to remove Google Voice to fix it. It's lame. If you have Google Voice, it may be worth exploring.

Not sure what is causing this or how to fix it but i am experiencing the same thing on my whomp rom with the latest perseus kernel. This had happened to my last note 2 about 3 weeks ago so i had it replaced by a service center. It was working fine until last night. I was in a call and all of a sudden it lost signal, came back and when i tried calling, the call went through but i cannot hear anything, not on the headset, speaker or bluetooth.So im still not able to make or receive calls and dont know what to do lol.

called ffonsu
I erased my data 3 times, unrooted my phone and restored to factory. After I return from vacation I'll use Google voice and see if that's the problem. If not then I'll add the synergy rom. If it still works then I'll add perseus kernel. We could have all gotten bad downloads, but I'll investigate.

Any update on this problem my screen is cracked so sprint won't replace my phone or fix this problem. I also have no audio but only during outgoing or incoming calls.

I restored my phone to stock rom, re-rooted it and am now running mack's all star 5.0 with no problems. The problem may have been with the kernel because I did not reinstall perseus.

No sound when making, or receiving calls, same for those being called...

Hello fellow galaxy users, I have this problem on my T-mobile Samsung galaxy s4 and it is when I make a call, I cant hear anybody on the like or the dial tone or anything, and when the other picks up my call they can't hear anything either. Also if I pick up a call I still cannot hear anything. It is just plain silence. NOW HERE IS THE WEIRD PART! If I turn on wifi calling, I can call and receive calls with out any problems, if I use skype I can hear from the speaker and everything. So my mic is working, my speakers are working, everything seems to be functioning... Till I make a call using data... My guess is its a T-mobile network issue? I called T-mobile and they didn't know what was wrong... I looked around google and many people are having the same problem with no solution... If anyone has any ideas or any solution and would like more info on this problem, please let me know!
Have a nice day !

im having the same exact problem! i have seen some fixes that people have posted with similar issue, leading them to believe its something with their bluetooth/ok google/s voice being involved. ive tried some of the fixes that have been posted, but no luck on fixing the issue on my end. but just like you if i go on wifi and make a call i have no issues what so ever! the sound also works just fine if i connect to a bluetooth device.

Are both of you on the full NH7 firmware?

Mismatched bootloader?
Pp.

fully stock rom, not rooted. OS 4.4.4, yes nh7
i will add that this is my first galaxy, that i haven't rooted or changed the rom on. i have yet to have a reason to root or change the rom on this phone, but if i have to, to get this fixed? i have no problem rooting and changing the rom.
also i have noticed that i drop LTE to 4g when ever i try to make a call. the wife has the same phone and is on tmobile as well but she has not had this issue.

Ok, since you are stone stock this could be a update issue, just out curiosity I would try a factory reset (hard reset ) it may solve the issue . If not I would go with stock rooted like ShinySide's rom not full custom until issue is solved.
Pp.

ive done a hard reset and the problem is still there. i guess ill go the ShinySide's rom way, until i get my s5 or wait for the rumored s6.

This by ShinySide will give you an option to flash a stock firmware if you choose to be stock again. Follow instructions using Odin.
