As the title says, i flashed Slimkat 4.4 onto my old GNex that my girlfriend is using and within a couple days she told me that almost every call is getting dropped within 30 seconds to 5 minutes. The one time i saw it happened i saw no signal drop but the call went silent and eventually ends if she does not end it first.
I asked in the slimkat topic but no one has reported similar issues and i've done a lot of google searches and haven't had much luck on anyone with a similar issue. I'm assuming that it might just need a new radio but i'm not sure if there is one or where to find it.
So I'm looking for any help or ideas as to how to go about fixing this. I'd like to leave her on kitkat as it does make the phone run better but if necessary I'll go back to stock.

I am a longtime CM user on AT&T. I bought a Roger's HTC Magic as soon as it came out and immediately put CM on it. I now have an Desire HD/Inspire as well as a Nook Color.
I have a question and I'm not sure if it is just me or if other people are experience this as well. Also, I do not know if it is an AT&T issue or something with CM. Anyway, here it goes....
Sometimes when I try to make a call by selecting the contact and have full signal and everything, I just get a series of constant beeps (like a busy signal almost) and the call never goes through. I can try 10 times in a row and the same thing will happen BUT as soon as I type the number in the dialer, it will immediately go through. The same scenario almost always plays out the exact same.
Does anyone else get this? If so, is it a development problem with CM, an AOSP issue, an At&T issue, or something else?
Thank you ahead of time.
i have been having issues with no sound coming from the LG nitro , all of a sudden it cut out yesterday and have hard reset numerous times and 1 out of 4 or 5 reboots the sound comes in but if you power off then on the sound disappears .. this is a stock phone with only root , anybody have any ideas or similiar issues ?
This is not any kind of development related topic but I'd suggest that you bring it in for repair or replacement as that sounds like a hardware issue. Maybe try flashing another rom.

I had a similar issue and ended up returning the phone to bell for a new one.
Here is the long story just in case it helps some one. Like all good Android users I started by rooting my phone, installing ROM Manager and making a nandroid backup. Once this was done I ran rooted stock for a few days. All was well.
Then I started to debloat my phone. After which everything seamed good. Then installed and played with RAM Manager and SD Speed Increase. TBH i did not notice any particular increase in speed on my phone but that might be due to the following issue.
After all this I decided to run a few test by using the phone into the ground. Added a bluetooth headset, while using navigation and making several calls. It was all running very well until I rebooted. Once rebooted whenever I connect my bluetooth headset I was no longer able to make calls. The phone dialer would completely lag out until I de-activated bluetooth. The the 10 or so test calls I tried making would all go through at once. This wasn't the end of the word for me so I continued to use the phone as everything else was working fine. The things started degrading by which time I was on the new CM9 nightly build. The phone had started being really sluggish. I finally decided to return my phone after it would no longer play any sound and whenever it called to any sound related function would lag out and/or reboot. The same behavior happen in stock, cm9 and NO! NO! ROMs. I tried flashing a few roms in a last ditch effort.
I could be wrong by my conclusion is that the audio portion of the snapdargon chip fried and since these phone are basically just 1 chip the phone simply degraded from there.
I would like to know of anyone else has had similar issue or if I just got a lemon and also your take on the cause of the issue.
Hope this can help someone.
Thanks!
Edit: Returned my phone for a new one and I've been flashing CM9 since the first release and no issues. I'm actually really happy with the replacement and would recommend the phone as long as you don't get a lemon ;-)
Figured I'd cross post this as it seems to be an issue for a few people. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951699 )
I've noticed this issue since first getting my S3 in July. So I do know it happened with 4.0.4 and now with 4.1.1. I've never used the "Stay Awake" option in the dev options and it still remains off. I've had the issue with both "Smart Stay" on and off. I've tested it with all screen time out times, as well as going through the trouble of factory resetting the device and nothing changed. The only solution I've found is reboot the phone and it will work again for a day or so until I notice it again. Very annoying and would love to find a solution to this!
I just started having the same issue. I was using Black Jelly's JB ROM for like 2 weeks without the problem then I flashed the LK3 modem and it started happening. I did a full wipe and flashed the ROM from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034844 last night and I'm still having the problem. My touch key lights stay on all the time too along with the screen not timing out.
My S3 has been stock from day one. I also got mine a few days after it was released, starting to wonder if its a hardware issue?
I never had this issue on stock/rooted ICS and I've had my phone since launch. I also didn't have it until about 2 weeks after I was running a custom JB ROM. It's weird that it started after I flashed the LK3 modem. I flashed back to the original modem I was on and it is still happening. I also flashed another JB ROM and it's still happening. A reboot fixes it, but it always comes back. Today I noticed that after missing a call it started happening, then after missing another call hours later it started working again.
I've noticed it on a replacement S3 I got when it wasn't an issue with the prior one. The new one (as with the old) is stock, updated to JB when I got it. GFs phone does the same.

This is interesting. I've been noticing this issue ever since I updated to 4.1.1 some weeks back, but had not considered any connection with missed calls. Among the dozens of reports I see online (with not a single one resolved), I found another thread that mentions it happening after missing a call (or receiving an SMS).
I completely wiped my phone and flashed a stock 4.1.1 rom two days ago and noticed this happening again while sitting at my desk today. I did miss a call earlier, so I think there is something to that suspicion; I rebooted the phone and sure enough the screen and touch keys timeout as they should. I just received a text and that didn't trigger the issue, but I'll have to wait til I get another call to know for sure, or until I get home and have the time to test it.
Ok, yep, it definitely is somehow triggered by missing a call, but it seems to only happen some time later after the last reboot. I had rebooted my phone yesterday, missed a call not too long after, and the keys and screen would shut off normally. But I just missed a call right now and sure enough it's acting up again...
I've been having an odd issue with my GSM Gnex lately (probably past month or two). During a phone call, after a short amount of time (usually within 5 minutes), the outgoing and incoming audio will quickly fade away with some garbling. I can call back and have the audio return, only to die again. I don't make/take many phone calls, so I don't have a lot of data on it. I can't say if it happens on every phone call, but it has happened enough times that I know it's a problem.
This has persisted through various clean installs. I'm not sure, but I think it started with a ROM whose name I can't remember, then in CM 10.1 for a few weeks, and it just happened again tonight, after a clean install of the stock 4.3 JWR66Y image directly from Google last night. Although I did flash the newest UGLL1 radio, as well as SuperSU for rooting.
I'm thinking it's hardware, but I don't know enough to make a decision on it; I've had this phone since last summer.
Sorry for the vagueness and lack of detail. Does anyone have any ideas? Experiences? Things I could test?
Thanks in advance.
Bump.

Bumping again. Forgot about this thread a while back.
Greetings all,
I tried to find this issue before posting a new thread (I did find an old thread with no solutions to the issue but I didnt want to try to revive a dead thread from a year ago) so I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate and if so please link me to the existing thread.
I have an on going issue that ATT has been useless with so I am reaching out to the XDA community now in hopes that I do not need to start using my phone as a door stop.
I have done a ton of research on this issue and it seem that it is software related but the few fixes that I have tried have not helped at all.
The issue is when I am talking on the phone the "mic" will cut out and sometimes so will the speaker. I can be talking just fine with no issues and then the person I am speaking with says its like I hung up. Some times I can hear the person fine but they can not hear me and other times it truly seems as if the phone was hung up. Some times the issue lasts 5 seconds other times its upwards of a minute. I am on my second phone, att was nice enough to replace it once but the issue persists on the new one as well. The issue occurs on the handset as well as bluetooth. Every so often I luck out and have no issues with a call (normally under 3 minutes) but typically when I use my phone as an actual phone the calls are longer than 10. The issue also occurs when speaker is turned on as well with the phone sitting next to me on a table so I do not think it has to do with any form of auto mute (like the old thread I found mentioned).
One of the things that I had found was to make a call with skype and it magically fixes it. Well sadly to say it I have tried that multiple times and it still did not fix it. I have tried running my phone just stock and the issue still occurs so i do not think its an issue with what is installed (mostly just google apps for work and a few games).
If any one has any ideas please let me know. At this point I am willing to try almost anything. Thanks
Turn off Enhanced LTE (HD Voice).I just had an AT&T rep confirm that this is their networknetwork problem. Apparently, HD Voice (VOLTE) isn't quite right, and the bugs are numerous. Turn it off, should fix these issues and maybe more.

I just reset my note 4 to stock last night. I just checked and Enhanced LTE is off and I am still having the same issues that others are reporting and just terrible signal strength in general. If I am indoors anywhere I am lucky to have 2 bars and then half the time calls don't go through. I am headed to the ATT store now to see what they say. I am on next and could upgrade but looking at the list of available phones from ATT I don't know if anything is really going to be better. I don't want to shell out the cash for a nexus 6p but I may end up doing it.
Turning off enhanced seemed to help but I still encounter the issue from time to tine. I'm just counting down the days till my 6p shows up...
