[Q] Galaxy s2 echo problem with case - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I posted this in the wrong place earlier and cant find any info on it anywhere so if anyone could help me out it would be great

Hi guys, im sure most of you know the s2 sometimes echos with to the person down the other end of the phone line if your using a case on your phone if your noise reduction is on.
Now im trying to figure out a way to permanantly disable it in root. Does anyone know where i can do this?
I read a post on here somewhere that you can go into system/build.prop and edit a line, but i think that is for the s1 as i cant find it on my s2.
Can anyone help.
Cheers

call display?

I have tried my best to not open a new thread about it but i cant find anything on the forums about it.
Anyone else having a problem with the call display? Mine says pay phone once in a while. My phone is the bell version unlocked to work on fido/rogers.
Any help would be appreciated.

There are couple threads about this. Either way, to get it working, you need to call Fido/Rogers and disable Name Display on your line.

[Q] Caller hears himself when calling

Hi!
Since it became impossible to talk to me and everyone is saying me that they hear themself in speaker when they talk to me and it distracts, I need someone to help me.. I have kk5 but it all worked well before, is there some option or setting which may cause that?
Thank you!
i think its a modem issue try different one
For me, I found it was my rubber case causing it. Take off the case
and the problem disappears. It must hinder the mics in a way to cause the echo.

Its called an echo. Its a common issue on the S2.
2 solutions:
1) Remove your case, or
2) When in a call press menu and turn noise reduction off. Alternatively, if you are rooted you can install a custom rom (or phone mod) like checkrom which has it set to off by default. But you need to flash the nr phone mod from the kitchen app for it to be off.

I wanna use the case and I'm having this problem in one of my S2, the other doesn't have it. I will try to send it back and get a newer one.

Alternatively, look at this thread.
I had this same echo w/a case on, and lived with it by modding my phone to default NR off.
Once I did the phone surgery detailed in the above thread, the echo disappeared, and I went back to my original phone with NR turned on.

hope i dont get in trouble for listing stuff here lol...but i really appreciate your help.
I have a gs3 that was supplied by orange uk. I dont know if it has orange specific software on it (the box and phone seem unbranded) but im having several issues with it.
I have been trying to ask the question if i have the latest firmware or if there is one i can update to in a bid to solve the issues i have.
It seems i dont have the option on the phone (under the about phone section) to manually check and kies says no update available however i would be happy to flash with odin if i knew there was something latter that i could use as im getting to the point where ive nearly had enough of the phone.
if there are options to sort it out then willing to try as there are things that i really like about it.
will post a screen shoot with the fimrware info etc and anything you know about it (dont worry if you dont) would be great.

regarding the branding when you boot your S3 is there an orange boot screen?
Ok so I looked over your screenshot and there are difference in are settings as you can see here, looks like are kernel versions are different.
And what are these problems you've been having, as that may be just down to the device.
sorry for answering your questions with more but it will help me answer your questions

And if you could send a screen shot with your kernel number and stuff that would be great, I received a firmware update today but im un-branded so that may have something to do with it as branded devices are normally behind.

again thanks for the quick reply
does the screen shot i posted prior to your post not give that information or do i need to look elsware for it?
No my phone does not have any orange splashscreen or any branding on the phone itself (however it was supplied direct by orange). It came in a normall samsung box with no orange stuff all over it however it was sealed with orange sticker on it.
problems so far are:-
1) very laggy in and out of app to homescreen.
2) lots of 'sorry not responding' in various apps (video player, messaging etc)
3) inconsistant battery drain....yesterday i got through the whole day with 50% spare (unplugged at 6.30, charged at 10.45pm) today i was down to 25% by 2.00pm (unplugged at 6.30) nothing different done in usage.
there have been other things but these spring to mind at the moment.
Have to be honest and say its really ruining the exsperience at the moment. My htc one s is so smooth and quick. I had the gs3 on preorder and really looked forward to it (knowing how good sgs2 was) had high hopes for this phone. I really think lots of these problems are possibly down to being quad core as i owned the htc one x for a week and had similar issues.
I'm to sure about your handset it may be unbranded then, you will have to ring Ornage and find out though.
And yeah I updated my post as you posted your as I wasn't expecting you to post a screenshot so quick.
and as far as the issues go, I haven't heard of any of them in the S3 yet other than the UI redraw issue. The battery will need to be recalibrated by the sounds of it this is easy enough to do if you would like to do that?

thanks again for your help
a guy on another thread has said that i have orange branded firmware on it and thats why i dont have the option to manually check for update. He has said i need to flash to the latest uk generic branded firmware.
I am going to give this a try (downloading at the moment) just hope i dont have problems with the radios etc.
thanks for the help with the battery issue however i am assuming that this will all be reset when i flash?
Yeah then you can re-calibrate it and it should all be good.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help mate,
good luck
thanks mate.

[Q]Intermittent loud scratch noise during calls after Cyanogenmod 10 + Generic IMEI

Hello everyone, I hope you guys can shed some light on my problem, I would really appreciate it. I searched the forum and found a workaround for the IMEI problem that did not work for me. And I found nothing regarding the loud noise during calls. So I decided to post to get some help.
Problem 1
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000B from Brazil unlocked from the store. Three days ago I decided to update my system (2.2) to the CM10.0.0 (4.1.2). After much sweat and hassle I discovered how do it properly with the right files. So, I flashed 2.3.3 and then CM10 and it seemed to work properly until I found out my IMEI had been corrupted. I tried the solution I found but it didn't work because on step #5 I don't find the file named ".nv_data", just "nv_data.bin.md5". I tried copying just the other but in the end it doesn't change my IMEI back. I still have a generic IMEI but it is not affecting the signal of my phone, I can still make and receive calls, but I would like to get it properly working. When I flash android 2.2 it restores my IMEI.
Problem 2
My other problem is that I keep getting these really loud and intermittent scratch noises during calls after flashing CM10. Right now I am using a dutch SIM for I live in the netherlands. Maybe that is important to mention. But I had been using android 2.2 here all along with no problems. After CM10 I get these sudden short bursts of noise during my calls. The other person can barely hear it but I hear it loudly. It's really annoying. I have no idea what is causing it or how I can fix it.
Can you guys help me out with this one?!
Thank you,
Henry
Why don't you try another rom and see if the issue persists?

Do you mean another version of the CM10? Is there antoher version of it? On android 2.2 and 2.3.3 it was working flawlessly. I don't know what happened to the calls with this noise.
On the other hand, I know the IMEI problem is because of the ROM for sure. Just don't know how to fix it.

I'm sure there is more than one, yes. Why don't you post this in the galaxy forums where you'll grab the attention of users with the same phone?

I tried searching for it and surprisingly did not find. Found s4, s3, s2, ace and so on, but not galaxy s. I thought it was quite tricky finding the right place, maybe I was looking in the wrong one?
