So my wife will be getting a call for a phone interview this Wednesday, and she's concerned about a recent issue with her AT&T S3 running on CM11 nightly 3/22. Her in-call volume is always extremely low regardless of how high the volume is set for calls. I have heard other accounts of this issue cropping up on various devices with builds of CM11 dating back to last year, but I've never come across a fix.
Has anyone encountered this and then resolved it permanently? My wife is very stressed worrying about not being able to hear the interviewer when they call in two days.
Try a different rom, tasks aokp has always been loud for me.

CM11 is available in stable. Why would you/she want to run the phone on a nightly? Guess you have enough time before Wednesday to update to either a stable version or go stock - even if only for the interview.
If you rely on your phone as a phone and actually need it up and running 100% all day everyday, you should be on the stock ROM. I'm sorry but all of these AOSP ROMs are full of bugs that get annoying after a while; one of them being the low call volume.

I lol'd at this. If you need to actually use your phone you shouldn't be on xda. Good stuff.

I lol'd even more at your useless post. I use stuff like V4A and Xposed (if you even know what that is) all the time from this site. You can be on XDA and still expect your phone to work. I was just pointing out that low call volume has always been an issue on a lot of AOSP ROMs, and if you need to use your phone to make a lot of phone calls, you should be on the STOCK ROM.
I'm on an aosp ROM, and I use my phone to make a lot of calls, so you're saying I need to be on stock ROM? Lol... What is "stuff like v4a and xposed"? Sounds complicated for us simple folks. :silly:
Bro, I've been on aosp ROMs since day one.. And never had any issue from phone.apk
BTW I'm not sure of cm still have this but in advance option setting and under sound, there's an option to gain extra volume for voice call.. Try it out and stop with the stock joke Lol

My S3 has been on CM since the day I got it, and CM11 since it came out, and on nightlies. Never had a single issue with call volume. As a matter of fact, I found that CM11 nightlies were overall a lot more stable than even the stock 4.3..
Since she's expecting important calls, you may get her sim card on your phone while you fix the phone for her.

CM11 is only nightly on d2lte.
I would say if you use it for work and if you're wife doesn't know too much about AOSP, go back to stock.
I had this same exact problem on my Galaxy S3. All my volume settings are at highest, and even when i press the volume up rocker during the call, it doesn't get louder. HERE'S THE SOLUTION THO (after countless hours of trying many, many different things)! Not sure if this works for other phones.
During the call, if you press the volume button, you should see the volume level bar with the "settings" icon next to it appear on your screen (look at the screen while the call is in progress). Press the "settings" button to open up the volume menu. If you're having low volume, you probably have all the volumes at their max. Put your finger on the volume slider and just move it lower then back higher, and you should notice that the volume goes higher than it was before. It's almost like it's stuck at what it thinks is the MAX level, and by sliding it back and forth, it's "unstucking" it, and allowing it to go higher to the true max level. Not sure why it does this, but after doing this, it should remain at the new higher volume for the next calls. I did notice that if you adjust the volume lower for anything else (say when you're watching a video, or turning it down because the ringer or notification sound is too loud), then it will get back to the low call volume and you have to slide it again to get it unstuck.
If anyone knows how to report this issue to the CM 11 coders, please forward...
Hope that helps!

More simple than that, press volume down while in call then press volume up. That's all you need.

Which is in no way related to the current issue of the volume being ridiculously low but then being fine after playing with it.

That works as well That said, this is a pretty annoying thing. Hope they fix it with future updates.

It's so simple, but this is what worked for my wife. Apparently she had just been mashing the volume up button the whole time. I forgot to report back in this thread after we discovered that.
Alright so I've been dealing with this issue for awhile now. On any GPe ROM or AOSP based Kit Kat roms my GS4s proximitor doesn't work correctly. As soon as I go into a call the screen goes black and won't turn back on. If I sit there and spam the power button it sometimes comes back on but as soon as I hit the call in progress button in the notifications the screen just goes black again.
As you can imagine this is extremely frustrating as I don't have any control over my calls once they're dialed. If I call someone and they don't pick up I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds and reset or else that person will get a very long and useless voicemail lol.
Anyone have any idea on what's going on here? This doesn't happen on Jellybean Roms or Touchwiz 4.4. Only on Google edition Roms like Danvd and Virgin rom. Also happens with Cyanogenmod.
Help!!! Lol

One issue that I have is that sometimes the speaker cuts out during a call so I can't hear anybody. I have to put the call on loudspeaker and then off again so I can hear them. It also seems to cut out if I bring the number pad up as well. I've had this on 2 CM12 based ROMs - Candy5 and AICP - and it happens with both of them. I've just flashed a stock based ROM - I don't like stock based ROMs - and I don't have the issue.
Does anybody else have this problem? I'm using a D855.
This used to happen to me. When I installed this CyanogenMod 12 my problem went away. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-unofficial-nightly-t2973522
Happens to me on all 5.0 builds. I can't find a fix. I'm on the 12B radio and using PAGapps.

If you disable lock screen sounds then it fixes the problem. I read that after posting.
Well ATM its working.. But lately the lag on my device makes it stutter so bad it freezes up then slowly comes back. Then sometimes the screen goes black and my device won't do anything.. The screen doesn't come back on. I have to hold the power button and sometimes volume buttons together to get it to restart to be usable.
I have only experienced this on 5.0.x roms 4.4.4 never did this
Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks

I've never had those issues on any lollipop ROMs (at least not for this device).
Personally I'm not a big fan of CM, have you tried any other ROMs and/or kernels? Have you flashed a custom kernel or adjusted any kernel settings that could be causing this? Are you using any mods (like Xposed)?
I'd suggest trying out some other ROMs (possibly even just rooted stock) and starting out with a clean flash, with no mods/kernel changes initially, and see if you still have the issue.

I'll give that a try.. I haven't done anything to it because upgraded the bootloader to like 4.04 and installed CM12 on it. It ran so good till like a week or so ago and now its just trash. A case with a magnet for sleep mode wouldn't have anything to do with this would it? But first things first, I'll try a simple 5.0.2 rom and see what happens.
Thanks
Hi guys. Since i started using CM 13 with my LG G3 D855 (European / International variant), i get weird parasitic noises when i'm using a headset.
For example, i got my headset plugged in the phone and i'm in the settings page. When i tap on any of the selections, the tapping sound plays and it makes a weird parasitic noise then goes away in 1 or 2 seconds. Same thing happens everytime a sound plays. When i'm listening something on Spotify or any other app, there is always a parasitic noise too. The thing that i'm calling as parasitic noise is like the background noise when recording something on a cheap microphone. It's sounds like "pffffffffff".
I get this issue on every AOSP based 6.x.x ROM. I tried XenonHD 6.0 and CM 13. But when i'm usin stock LG ROM, everything is like chrystal clear. I tried with 3 different headsets/headphones and got the same result so that means problem is at the ROM's that i use.
Please find me a solution :/

So are there any solutions for custom ROM's that i use or am i supposed to switch back to the stock ROM?
Its widespread amongst most of the roms i dont know if there are any other fixes mine done it in my car on the stereo and every time i touched the screen it was like a residual feedback from the screen after i shut of ALL touch feedbacks it quit
I installed Fulmics' latest 6.0 MM ROM like 5 mins ago. It's based on LG's stock ROM. So, the problem is gone.
Problem is i think 3.1 still has to many bugs battery life bein one but im on a d850 and theres only one kernal rite now i think mosta the bugs lie in it the roms staright up
