[Q] Poor Voice quality with ED01 kernels - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With the ED01 kernels i have been getting everyone telling me that i sound horrible or im breaking up..i had the same problem with the EC01 kernels and went back to EC10 and everything is fine..i can hear it as well in my earpiece that i sound bad.
I want to just switch back to a EC10 kernel but not of them support edify and that is what the latest and greatest is (which i want)..
anyone have any other workarounds or heard of anything like this?

well i just switched to cwm 2.5 and flashed my EC10 kernel..but now i want voodoo sound 8..why is no one else having these issues with voice quality on specific kernels??
i even have exchanged my phone for a FRU to see if that was it..still the same

[Q] Bionix-V headset issue

I asked this question in the Bionix-V thread, but it's so crowded that it got buried real quick.
I cannot make hands-free calls when my phone is connected to any stereo/headphones via 3.5mm jack. The voice call sound just doesn't come through to the 3.5mm jack and the other party can't hear me through my mic either. Once I unplug the jack the call works fine like any other call. It worked on stock but it doesn't work here. Installed this from a fresh ODIN too.
Anybody have any recommendations?
Im not having any issues! That's weird. You didn't flash a different kernel with it did you?

I flashed the alternative DoW 1.4. Wonder if that's it... I just flashed the stock ka7 kernel. Will test it and see.

I'm having this same issue, currently on Bionix-V with Dragon Kernel. Just need to get this working like it used to and my phone will be perfect!
Haven't yet flashed back to the original Bionix-V kernel, only because I don't wanna lose that great Voodoo sound I get with Dragon Kernel, but sacrifices may have to be made if I can't get the calls to work through the speakers.
Anyone know a kernel with both Voodoo sound and the ability to make calls through speakers?
EDIT: it appears to be a problem with all I-9000 based kernels. So people like me who want Voodoo sound AND hands free calls will have to wait for it to be implemented in a kernel based off the source code, which should be released shortly.

So I actually reflashed Bionix-V and have the kernel it comes with. I did not reinstall DoW. According to what you said, it should work fine now? I'll have to go test that. If so that would be awesome.
Edit: Yep that must have been it. Tried with the stock KA7 kernel that comes with the ROM. Thanks for the help man you got a thanks from me.
Had an issue with before 4/5 using dow where sometimes when unplugging my stereo jack it would crash the phone and power cycle. Very annoying. No problems since I flashed bionix w/ stock kernal.

Glad it worked out

Vibrant GPS not working nor can I hear through headset

I recently flashed UVKA6 Froyo ROM to my Samsung Vibrant, then applied the Voodoo lagfix. Since then my GPS is no longer working, it appears to be completely dead. Today I discovered I can longer hear any audio via the headset, if I place someone on speaker it works fine.
Can I flash UVKA6 back over with Voodoo applied or do I need to disable it?
Not to be that guy, but ka6 is not as good as the custom rom's. Try a rom out, I suggest Trigger.

Gingerbread Sound Issues... Froyo Dropback?

Hey folks,
I've been playing with CM7 for so long that I have completely lost touch with Froyo builds... but my wife has pretty much laid down the law that if I can't hear her when she calls me, I can sleep on the couch.
That said, there exists no Gingerbread for the Fascinate which has acceptable in-call sound volume levels. I know they're working on it, but until they succeed (end of year, maybe? Maybe sooner? Who knows!) I need to drop back to Froyo.
What's a good build nowadays? Don't much care whether it's Touchwiz or not, so long as it's debloated, rooted, and not going to go belly-up with the latest recovery...
Thoughts?

Wrong section...
But powerwashed or geewiz would be your best option. I ditched CM7 due to call/speaker volume and other reasons.
I would suggest either GeeWiz or Powerwash if you want one that is based off of ED05, which supposedly fixes the missed call issue. If you want the most customizable I'd go with CommRom 2.1; however if you use any kernels bundled with it they will be pre-ED05 and may still have the issue. I'd try CommRom 2.1 with either PBJ's 8/08 build or Powerwash's new OTB based kernel, both of which are ED05 based.
Just my $.02 worth.

In call audio

Guys I have a severe problem with my phone. The thing is that the when i make or receive a call the audio is horrible, I mean it's like there is some weird vibration (as if there was something inside the phone speaker). Now the other speaker (for music) works perfect.
I got this while on CM7 (I've been using it for a month and never had an issue so I don0t think it's CM7 related. I'm on stock values (no UV/OC or anything, on stock CM7 kernel also).
I tried everything, I also flashed the original firmware with Odin and the problem persisted. Do you think it's a hardware issue and I have to get it to warranty?
Please help I'm going mad.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Best modem compatible with CM7?

Hey all. So I've been running CM7 for a few months, and most recently also flashed the Kang ROM. However, also for the past few months, I can't remember if before or right after CM7, I've been having a very distorted call quality, as well as data connectivity disappearing, only coming back with a reboot. I was wondering if someone could direct me to the best modem/radio combo I should be using... I figured this is most likely the culprit, though I'm in the dark. I believe I'm currently using EC09... my baseband version under "About phone" is S:i500.04 V.EC09
Even if EC09 is the newest modem I could use, what else is compatible with CM7? I feel like the biggest noob ever, but could someone explain to me exactly what the modem and radio are specifically responsible for?
When I find a modem/radio I'd like to flash, can I just do that over what I have now, or do I have to flash an earlier build like Eclair or something and rebuild from there?
Flash the EH03 radio. You can download it from me I will post a link. Use Odin to flash it right over what you currently have. It will not mess with your ROM so no need to do anything else but flash this file

Thank you so I don't have to wipe a single thing before flashing? Should this remedy the call quality, loss of data connectivity, or both?
I didn't see much of a difference between those two radios on the CM7 kang, but it's worth a shot. MTD roms tend to have data issues from time to time, but if you lose connectivity, toggling airplane mode on and off usually worked for me, as opposed to fully rebooting. Call quality could be related to your signal strength and other factors on the other end of the call. Unless all calls are distorted?
Yes, all calls are equally distorted. Significantly worse than the phone originally was
No you don't have to touch a thing with your ROM. Odin that file and it will reboot to your rom with the new radio. I'm running eh03 on ics build 6 and it's great

the radio will not make a differenc on call audio quality...use glitch v13.1, the audio is much better than the kernel that comes with cm7.
Thanks for your help everyone. I'll install glitch as well as the new radio.
I asked before, but can someone please explain to me exactly what the modem and radio are responsible for and what advantage there is to updating them?
Also, i've never installed a modem or radio without installing current builds of both at the same time. Will it matter that upon installing the above radio, my radio will be more current than my modem?
Your radio and modern are actually the same thing. It can improve your signal/connection from Verizon so it it important to have a reliable radio. EH03 is a stock Verizon radio so we know it's reliable and the advantage is knowing you have a good reliable radio
