Evening guys
I rooted my S2 when i first got it and haven't really touched it since. It's an O2 handset running Baseband version I900XXKE4 and Build Number XWKE7.
My isue is that i'm struggling to make calls on it, pretty much every call i make now the phone call drops out and the phone freezes up for around 20 seconds. Sometimes the persons voice on the other end will stutter like crazy like a stuck record and the bar at the top will turn green.
Has anyone else experienced this? I haven't searched the forum yet so apologies if there is a thread about this...
I'm thinking of flashing it with the latest firmware to see if this remedies the issue, could someone give me a quick nod to the latest firmware for a UK phone? I will head on over to the development forum now but i haven't looked for a while so am hopelessly out of date with it all
Thanks for your help guys and gals
Latest UK = KG7

Thanks mate, should i be looking for XWKG7 in the thread ROM + Guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I can't seem to find it in there? Only XXKG6 which is a frankenstein firmware...
apologies for bumping this but my phone is virtually unusable I cannot make or receive calls with it, every time i try the signal drops out completely like it's in airplane mode (which it is not)
Anyone had this problem?

Here is my problem.....I recently got the shw-m250s from korea.
I brought it to canada to use and there were many problems.
My first main concern was that the data was extremely slow.......
Secondly connection was always extremely bad.....
Thirdly sms functions did not work......
So after intense digging on this site.......People had solutions to the first two probelms.....so i tried it install new firmware, install custom firmware.....install new modem.bin files.....etc.etc. the person that i read off of was using the shw-m250k model......which is very simillar to the 250s.
so after about 15 hours of doing many different things.....nothing seemed to work....
so now im asking the forums to help me fix these issues....its extremely stressful and annoying that nothing is working......
Please help me fix these 3 main issues and i will be forever grateful....
lastly....if none of these things solve my issues....well then.....anyone interested in purchasing the m250s? i will restore factory setting and such....selling for decent price....if it comes down to it.

i will try my best
1. slow data? on 3g or wifi? i believe it may be your coverage mate. its not the fastest everywhere mate. if u have chance compare the speed with normal SGS2 in the same area. if its 3g check your APN network provider setup and make some changes that may follow. you can check that in setings-wireless-network--APN
2. conexion extremly bad - again the same apply - u cant compare this model with any other i mean with sgs1. the best way to find out whats the difference will be checking the signal of "real" SGS2.
3. i will recomend you to check Message centre - its inside MSG app - settings it maybe not supported so you will have to enter it manualy mate.
Hint-any APN or message change will need reboot in order to start working mate.
i know its not a big deal but at least i gave you some ideas.
thanks
Welcome XDa! I bought my galaxy s2 month ago. All working fine except one thing.. When im calling someone or when he calls me they almost can't hear me right like my microphone would be broken :-( . Then I need to click menu and turn off the noise reduction, then all is ok and they hear me right. It pisses me off when I.have to do it everytime I'm talking with someone. I had branded soft from orange (I'm from Poland). I'm newbie in Android things but it worked. Im using latest stock*I9100XWKK5 *Android 2.3.6 (MULTI CSC)-3 file from Samsung. Im wondering is my phone broken and should I give it on guaranty or search different way to sort my problem.my friend told I should go on guaranty because he has s2 too and he don't need to turn off noise reduction to let others listen him well. I'll also add when im recording myself in dictaphone then all sounds fine. Please help me :-( . And I also wanna ask if I'll want to go guaranty, should I put branded soft again ? May they have problems about stock but non branded soft? Thanks for answer in advance! And I'm sorry for my crazy English, I wish you will understand me lol
Hello there,
Is there anyone else having this issue (people can't hear) with ICS Passion?
I tried some many different configurations, modem/radio, kernel... my carrier is Wind Mobile in Canada. Not sure if the problem is related with the ROM and the carrier, or what...
Thanks.
Do you mean they can't hear you after they call you, or they can't hear you after you call them. If they can't hear you after they call you, it's because of the mute/unmute bug with all Vibrant ICS roms. All you have to do is, when someone calls you, right after you answer it; just push the must button twice (hence mute/unmute) and they'll be able to hear you fine. The mute button looks like a microphone and it's in the center on the bottom.

Hi!
It is not the mute/unmute issue... it actually doesn't matter if I call or someonee calls me... everything goes fine till like 2 minutes (this time may vary) of conversation... then suddenly the other side can't hear me for a while... but more curious is, if I press the dial buttons, the tone sound goes to the other side... so it is definitely an issue related with the microphone.
For some weird reason, modem JL5 / nelson kernel 2.2 was the best combination so far, considering all the combinations (kernel/modem) I have tried... but it still happens, eventually.
No clue about what to do..
Well, try a different rom altogether.
I'm having the exact same problem and it's driving me crazy! I'm also on wind mobile in London (Canada). I used the phone a few months ago on Fido and never had a problem so it definitely relates to the AWS part of the phone. I haven't tried every modem, but I didn't notice much improvement between the ones that I did try. Originally, I thought it was an issue with Euphoria, so I tried different ICS roms with no luck. Since then, I've restored to stock and I can make calls that last much longer but ultimately suffer the same issue. This implies that it may be a software issue. I'm going to have to get a new phone if this continues. It's frustrating considering how far the development of ICS roms for the vibrant has come.
Edit: I just wanted to point out that I had the nexus s working perfectly with wind mobile so I don't think it's an issue with the carrier. My sister had the vibrant for a while and she would complain non-stop about dropped calls when I put froyo-based or ICS-based roms on it. At the time, MIUI was the only rom that she didn't have calling issues with. In an attempt to fix the phone myself, I gave her my nexus and took the vibrant. I've tried miui but this issue of others being unable to hear me during a call persists.
How long do your calls last using the JL5 and Nelson 2.2?

Hi! Well, yesterday I got a call from a 1800 number and had I think 5 minutes of conversation before the issue started... I remember with KB5 I could never have more than a minute...
so, that said, and since "I found" someone else having the same problem, I am wondering what to do now... with some many tries we had in our phones, it is definitely an incompatibility with Vibrant and Wind.
I read some people having this issue with the Google Nexus in one other thread, and it seems a new modem solved the problem in their case. We, with this lack of support from Samsung will for sure not having anything new from them. Maybe Wind can do something in their network. Have you ever tried to contact their customer support?

I haven't, but it looks like two other people from London with similar vibrant issues have (community.windmobile.ca/windmobile/topics/people_cant_hear_me_when_i_call_them?from_gsfn=true)
From what I've gathered so far, it looks like an incompatibility between vibrants and wind. Are you from London as well?

I recently purchased 3 Galaxy S3 phones, all of them model I9300T.
I am experiencing a very strange issue, where on some calls they are getting very poor sound quality, with severe static or scratchiness over the whole call. Sometimes there is no sound at all, and both callers only hear silence. The poor sound is not just on the call, but also the dial tone and when the caller hears the voicemail recorded message. This only happens when some numbers are dialed from those phones, and not others, and not the same numbers for each phone.
I don't even know where to start in troubleshooting this, as I can't even decide if it's a SIM card issue, a firmware issue, a hardware issue or a network issue.
All phones are running current MIUI.us (based on ICS 4.0.4) with i9300T modems for the i9300T. I have tried different modems in all handsets, which has not solved the problem. I have not tried different firmwares, I have looked for stock firmwares, but I cannot find them. I usually get my stock firmwares from XDA but I was unable to find a thread for stock firmwares for the i9300.
Has anyone seen anything like this before, or can anyone offer any advice on the matter?

Well, since you recently purcheased them, then perhaps sending it back to the service center will enlighten you.. make use of your warranty
but before sending it to the service center, do use triangleaway and flash a stock firmware.. put everything back to stock
Cheers!

Given that they are all (three of them) exhibiting the exact same problem, and given that the problem is not on all calls, I highly, highly doubt that it is a hardware issue. I'm thinking that this is a bug that is being triggered by some combination of software on my devices and network-side settings.
I'm running I9300 ROMs with I9300T modems. When I reflash stock, the problem goes away.

I see.. mmmm. Have you tried going to recovery and wiping caches and fixing permissions? It's what fixed some problems of MIUI users

I'm a fairly experienced ROMer, yes I've tried all those tricks. I've also tried other variants of MIUI. I am in the process of trying other ROMs to see which ones trigger the problem, and which ones don't.
Note that this is occurring with I9300T phones running I9300 software on a 850mhz network. I think that has something to do with it. I would like to test the issue on a 900mhz network to see if that still causes the problem to manifest, but that would require much effort to go any buy prepaid SIMs just for this test.
Hello everyone
I explain my problem.
I bought it a few Blacview Zeta, this phone encountered problems with the GPS and network reception problems.
I thought, "How bad idea" that I went searching on the internet an official rom to see if the problems could beings corrected.
I went to the official website of BlackView then I followed a link to download the rom.
While Roma are available on their official forum, so I download with confidence, I flash the phone, I restarts the phone and then surprise the display is illuminated but a black screen with vertical and horizontal lines.
The phone responds well to touch and hear different sound when you click on the screen. But we see nothing except the lines.
So I posted on the forum, but none of my posts do appear, I send messages directly to the contacts available on the official website no answers.
So I searched the internet for several days so I found other Roma.
I found three different rom a v0.5 and a v0.6 v0.7 but the problem remains the same at the screen.
I also saw the other person have the same problem as me, but she did not find one solution.
To me it seems that this is a graphic driver problem, a hardware modification to the model to be made that I own.
So I'm looking desperately this rom "S509_G3_Blackview_Zeta_V1.2_20160309" which is the one that corresponds to my phone.
I know my message is long, but I tried to explain to me the best.
Anyway thank you to everyone who can help me
sincerely Vincent

Well coming back to you I found a ROM that matches my Zeta.
In made there are two versions of Zeta normal and V16, V16 I am..
Except that the rom that I found can be returned to the phone with "easy TRWP" I understand the procedure except that it must enable the USB debugging, but as I see absolutely nothing on the screen I can not activate it.
I know if a developer can do something with this rom so I can flash it with spflashtool?
I put a link is on my personal server that contains the rom.
I sincerely hope that someone finds a solution for me.
Because my skills are not sufficient to do something with this rom.
Thank you
