People can't hear me on calls. - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, so right now I'm on CM7, not the most current build, but there's not much I can do until I wait for a new SD card (exactly for the reason that you think).
Anyway, I am having trouble with people hearing me on the other end of calls. They say i keep dropping out. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or would it be better to just go back to stock and try to get a replacement?

Turn off "Hi-fi record" in voodoo control app.
good day.

Where can I find that?
EDIT: Just downloaded the app- it was already off.

Also people sometimes have to call me twice before I get the call. Any solution to that?

Yes Try a Froyo Rom!
ComRom 2.1
or
Evil Fascination
after missing a call from my boss, i went back to a EF rom and I can hear calls, the proximity sensor works and i have no fear about loosing my SD card.

or try powerwashed ed05... all of the gb based roms have bugs and are randomly eating sd cards. Stick with froyo for now!!

You could also try a bluetooth headset. I've never had a compliant using it on AOSP.

[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

what is the best of the best

i was wondering what everybody was running? Im still on evil fascinate, ed04 (which sucks), with a standard volt kernel running overclocked at 1.24 or it gets all glitchy and force closes. Im wondering what rom, kernel, radio combo works the best these days. Ive been reading all sorts of stuff and am just not oo sure what to go with. I use my phone alot for web surfing, a few games, music, etc. I also wondered if my aftermarket extended battery will work. any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks to all the devs that make this possibel cause without them this phone really sucks ass.
I have been searching for a great daily and after trying the cm7.1 Rom I thought it was great, the only deal breaker for me was the sound issues with speakerphone. So i tried powerwashed and think is great, very stable and reliable.
Hope that helps, try it see what you think.

honestly im not sure how you could consider the speakerphone echo a deal breaker on cm7.1... thats a very minimal issue at best imo, but to each is own. I do agree pwbg is a great rom aswell.
After constantly bouncing around ROMs, this is honestly the best setup I have had thus far: PWGB ROM with the Adrenaline Shot, fixpermissions.zip, EC09 radio, and the GeeWiz 2.1 kernel (very basic kernel, flashed to remove hotspot monitoring). I have tried the custom kernels but they remove a lot of stability for me. Also check out the sweet honeycomb theme for it!
do i just odin the eho9 radio? i have ed04 and i have trouble with having 3g or any signal for that matter. would eh09 be better? will it work with cm7, miui, or powerwsahed?
Yes Odin the ec09 modem...much better than ed04 IMO. Getting 1.3mb down on speakeasy.
I'm still running EC01, even with PWGB. Never had a data/call problem, ever.
I use my speakerphone a lot, so for me it is a deal breaker, it's a great Rom nonetheless
For powerwashed i restored back to original since i had to use the pit file to repatriation, think is great so far.

And here is why you have to try all the roms yourself. i was on powerwashed GB rom and i hated it. Very glitchy and the touchscreen would freeze. Tried everything to try and cure it, adrenaline shot, turning off the 100mhz setting. To make matters worse something in that rom borked my connection to a PC, I couldnt get it to recognize my phone. I tried for 3 days finally got a connection and i dumped that pile. CM7.1 and been pretty good so far tho all roms have glitches you just have to try out what works best for you.
BTW best data connection I ever got was on the EB01 radio, I was getting 1.5 meg down. EC09 was horrible I got around 200k down. I'm on ED05 now will see how it does.
Im set up on powerwashed now and my screen freezes and im constantly takeing screenshots. I think im gonna give espresso a try. Thanks to everyone whos giveing their two cents on this. Greatly appreciated but I guess its trial and error. I do like to see everbodys feedback tho.

Well what I have seen here lately is that their are multiple ways to root. But on top of that all the roms have different glitches. So I'm still stuck with debating and fixing my phone constantly. I'm running an old miui and can't really see a way to try the new 1.10.14.

once the glitch kernel implements Jt's GPS fix, cm7.1 and glitch will be the best and fastest! It's the most overclock and also You can under-volt more than another kernel.

Glitch already is imo... I just use gps booster from market until the fix is implemented. Getting the same gps results as jt's kernal this way.

[Q]CM7 problems in all ROMs?

Okay, this is potentially a really stupid question...but here goes.
I'd installed CM7.1 on my Fascinate as soon as I got it (was running a Vibrant with CM7) and immediately started seeing the weird issues like:
-data connection disappearing
-"double ring"...ringer ringing away during a call, requiring an end and re-dial to have a clean conversation
-call volume being ear-piercingly loud
As a result, I've started ROM hopping. However, the ROMs I've tried all seem to have the same issues.
Not trying to flame anyone, or bag on any of the ROM authors/maintainers, but are all the Fascinate ROMs out there a copy/modification of the CM ROM? Or are these issues I'm seeing (as others are too) a common failing of anything other than the stock ROM that came on the phone?
im running cm7.1 and have none of those issues.
What modem do you have? The ringing you are experiencing is called the phantom ring. I thought it was a known issue in all mtd roms, but I haven't used one in awhile. I remember having the call volume the same way. You have to press vol down once.

I was running pool party and loved it except the WiFi kept dropping. I need a reliable network connection. I would have continued using it if not for that. TSM resurrection has been my more stable second choice.

I flashed Evil Fascinate over the weekend and I'm running DL09.
However, this doesn't answer the deeper question as to if the issues I saw in CM7.1 are pervasive in the other ROMs for this phone, as I've already experienced them in Evil, and it's been three days in use.
I'm not sure if I should simply accept the issues and find a ROM that I like, or if there's a different ROM out there that doesn't have the CM7.1 issues.
I am having the issues with the volume but, pressing volume up or down works to clear that up. I have also gotten complaints of the other end having an echo. This is on all calls with multiple carriers from other people. Anyone having this issue as well and know how it can be resolved? It doesn't echo on my end. Just the person I am talking too. Also I am running modem Baseband EDO5. I was running EBO1 and still have the same issues with each. I have tried MIUI as well and still the same. I flashed to stock fascinate as if you were to get it from Verizon and all of that seemed to go away. When I flashed back to CM 7.1 all of these issues arose again.

my wifi never drops...sometimes I have to toggle it off/on after a reboot but thats it.
I have had that problem on all my android devices that I have had. Sometimes hardware just freezes up and you have to do a reboot. They are basically little computers anyway but, if you are constantly having to reboot to get something to work. It is more than likely a problem with the mod.

CM7 vs TW - Missed call issue?

i'm curious what is worse with the missed call bug.
I am talking about when people call, are phones don't even ring or show a missed call.
I have a new job that is a on call job and 3 times already within 5 days my phone didn't ring when i was called. and as anyone can expect that doesnt look good to the employer
I will be replacing my fascinate soon with a bionic but until friday i must try to make this work if anyone can point me in the direction for the rom that this bug doesnt affect as bad. thanks.

I too have a job that requires me to be on-call so I fully understand the importance of your question.
I had the missed call bugs a handful of times back before the ed05 over the air update was released but have not had a single problem, that I know of, since then. I am currently running AOKP M4 rom with glitch kernel and the eh03 radio.
So, what rom are you currently using?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA
Sry for taking long for a reply been in the mountains with no signal working. But I'm on stock eh03 with root and kgb kernel.
I generally don't care for aosp on the fascinate due too data drop a lot but if it isn't as effected by the missed call bug ill use it.

ICS Leak: issues receiving and making calls

First, some stats;
S-OFF, status LOCKED, custom HBoot from leak
Baseband 1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15D
I've installed a bunch of apps etc... and I've recently discovered that people calling me are getting passed directly to VM. Not all the time, but much of the time, I get no phone ring, and passes straight to VM.
Additionally, I have a hard time placing calls as well. No rings, it drops the call before that. Hit and miss, but I'd say this happens 80% of the time.
I haven't tried re-flashing, or anything just yet. Am I the only one? Any guesses?
I suppose I should add... Signal is good here and data works well.

I don't think its an issue with ICS. A few days before the leak, I messed up my phone's speaker and earpiece by flashing the beats hack. I had my brother try calling me to see if they work during calls, but when he tried calling me, it went straight to voicemail.
So I don't think it's an issue with ICS. And also, don't flash the beats hack.
