[Q] Call quality with cm7 on Vibrant - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have recently installed the latest (at the time) nightly of cm7 for my Vibrant. Ever since I've been getting lots of complaints from the people I'm talking two that my voice keeps dropping off during the call. Has anybody else experienced something like this?
Any idea if there is another ROM I could try that would improve this?

What specific version are you running? Check in Settings > About phone.
Upgrade to the latest nightly. If you're not running 7-20120402 or higher then you still have the tunnel voice bug.

That might be the answer. I'm running 7-20120330.
I'll install that build as soon as I can. Thanks.

[Fix] Audio Fix for Droid Eris

Hey everyone. im from the Hero CDMA forum. i have made audio fix patches for the hero that fixed the audio loss for 2.1 roms.
I recently ended development for the audio fixes because the issue began to rise in people with stock heros. but with that aside, i will create a fix for eris users if enough of you have the problem. i believe i have seen 7-8 people with it. anyways leave a comment telling me you have the issue, when it happened, what roms cause it, and what your software builds are, and what roms dont cause the issue. thanks for the cooperation and i hope i can help
Hey Avalaunchmods!
Thanks for the help with this! I am running the Aloysius (Coincidentally a Hero port):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663893
Audio usually cuts out for me when I am receiving a notification. It will kind of stutter/jitter and then continue to play.
one of my custom ringtones cut out on an incoming call once, but only once. so it may have only been a fluke. hadnt happened before or after.

I get the same using VanillaDroid ROM.
Thanks for the help!
I have had this problem pop up intermittently, but with increasing regularity (up to 2-3 times daily at its worst). The sound profile and volumes remain unchanged, but sometimes for no apparent reason, all audio drops. If I get a call, there is no ringer. If I get a notification, there is no audible alert. If I place/answer a call, the earpiece/speakerphone are silent, and the other party doesn't hear me. The rest of the phone's functions still work, and vibrate still works, but there is no audio from any apps or OS functions until I reboot the phone.
As for particular triggers, I haven't found any yet. I had been running ivan's 0.8t2, but have downgraded to his older 0.5.4 to see if the problem is fixed. So far it hasn't popped up, but it's only been a few days.
Thanks again for your willingness to help. I'll be sure to let you know if I see the problem resurface.
I know the fix is only possible in rooted phones, but I wanted to chime in and let you know that a lot of people on 2.1 leak v2 non-rooted are having this issue, so you can see some of the symptom reports in these threads on androidforums:

I have a non-rooted phone and I have the same issues...
If by audio problems, you mean no sound via ringtones, notification or voice over the ear piece, then I have experienced it with Ivan's 08T2. I've had it happen about three times. I did a reboot and it corrected it.
another Aloysius user here, and yep, audio problems out the wazoo. good thing I text mostly.
alright this got moved to general?
i though this would fit in development haha.
anyways ill get on a fix i believe. ill put it somewhere. not dev..
I've had audio issues, but the only thing that seems to cause it for me us getting a force close on any program that is currently playing audio, such as a music player or (worse) an alarm clock.
I've never had audio just randomly cut out on me, but it definitely all stops working after such a force close
I'm having the same audio issues. I'm currently on VanillaDroid v1.0. I experienced the issue on the eris21official-root ROM as well. It usually happens after I use the camera to snap a few pictures. If I don't use the camera, it is pretty stable. Let me know if you need any further information.

Avalaunchmods,
Since the Droid Eris kernel code was made available from HTC, have you been able to make any further progress fixing the audio loss bug for the Eris and Hero?
Right now the only solution we know of is to replace the phone. (Those of us who have gotten warranty replacements have not had the problem resurface.)
But even if the problem is related to certain hardware, it seems like there might be a way to fix the kernel's *reaction* to the problem, so that the phone doesn't become unusable.
Having the problem too.
Happened on Evil Eris and Ivans.
Any update on this? I am having the same issue on both CyanogenEris v1.1 and ELB-Cyanogen.
i am having this issue as well, running Ivans Eris_Official 1.0 Alpha. Experienced this issue on the 0.82t also. No audio from the phone's earpiece (speakerphone wont work either) when a call comes in, or if i try to call them back. have to reset the phone and then it works. I'm running setcpu at 710 now, but i wasn't on 0.82t so probably not the culprit.
My software version stats, in case it matters -
Firmware - 2.1
Baseband - 2.42.00.04.12

hi..i'm havin this issue too!
I'm on a froyo rom now. I was on an xtr rom when I noticed this problem. Tried to flash a new rom to get rid of it and it's still there. I can use the phone for a few hours and then the only way i can answer calls is through speakerphone.

Audio Problem
I've had this problem every since the 2.1 update. My wife and I both had it (we both have a Eris) on unrooted phones. I rooted to ErisLightning and still had it, switched to Tainted Vanilla, and now I'm on Lightning Bolt. My wife is on Droid Does Pink and we've had the problem with every single rom. Sometimes when we receive or make calls, the phone will go completely mute. We can't hear the other person and they can't hear us. We can't hear a ring tone if calling someone either.
I use Google Voice and I sometimes get ghost voicemails. It will save the entire length of the voicemail, but it will be completely mute. Even if I restart and re-open GV it's still mute.
For now, we're just rebooting whenever we have this problem. Seems to be the only way to get audio back.

[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.

[Q] ICS Passion v9.0 -- Inconsistently Poor Call Quality

Hello gentlemen!
First of all, I want to thank neobuddy and everyone that he worked with on the ICS Passion ROM. I find it excellent and have been using it for the past week or so.
I do have a slight issue, though, and as I am not yet familiar with mobile development, I am not sure if the problem stems from my hardware or the software. I bought this Vibrant used, though in excellent condition. As soon as it arrived, I rooted it and installed ICS Passion on it. Therefore, I never actually used the stock software, and that is why I am unsure if this issue stems from the ROM or from the phone itself.
Anyway, my problem is that sometimes during a call, my voice will cut in and out very frequently. This occurs with various people and in various places, so it doesn't have anything to do with signal strength. I can hear the other person just fine. It also seems to only occur when I receive a call. Once I hang up and call the person back, they seem to be able to hear me just fine.
I suspect that this has something to do with one of the following:
1) Sound filtering and normalization. The way that the software handles the data that it receives from the microphone. If it was the microphone itself, I would expect this issue to be much more consistent.
2) Which network the phone uses during phone calls. I've gathered that H is for data transfer and 3G is for phone calls (for the most part). Is it possible that ICS Passion somehow fails to switch to the proper network when a call is received? This seems unlikely as I searched through the ICS Passion thread in the dev forum, but couldn't find an issue similar to mine.
Any insight would be appreciated, although I suppose if no one can help out I can just flash the stock and see if the problem persists. If it does, then I can only assume it's the phone.
Thanks!
try v 10 or v 10.6
Mute and then unmute your call. We've had this problem since cm7

I'm afraid to upgrade to v10 because some people have been experiencing issues with their phones rebooting several minutes into the call. I may try it anyway, though.
Do you know if your problem is with incoming calls only?? That's where the issue seems to be, that the mute/unmute fixes. I put 10 on about a week ago, and am loving it. Put 10.5 on yesterday, and 10.6 today, so they are working on it. I think 10.6 might have fixed it for me, so I'm so happy. Thought Bionix was going to be the end of the line, I tried a couple of gingerbread roms, and had issues!

Been on v10 for a week and have not had the reboot problem. I've heard 10.6 has some problems but yeah the mute/unmute bug isn't that bad you get used to it

That's what it seems like. I have not had a single "you sound like you're underwater" issue for outgoing calls.
Thanks for the responses, everyone. I'm glad to find out that the problem isn't with the phone because I can't afford to replace it for a while. I guess I'll just wait a bit and hope that these slight issues get resolved in a more stable iteration.

[Q] Horrible Call Quality

Hey guys.
Here's the problem I'm having. People can't hear me well on the other line. Some have said that they can barely hear me, others have said it sounds all muffled. In searching I didn't find much on XDA, but did find some stuff on google about it being a known issue with the Atrix on stock software.
I tried CM10 first (epinter's thread) and now I'm on Neutrino CM7. I'm having the same problems.
Any thoughts? Is this something that is hardware related, or can a tweak or optimization help it out?
Thanks!
I'm not aware of anyone else around here having this kind of problem, so I would guess it's likely hardware-related. Either that or it's some freakish and unique software glitch. You could take it to a service center and have them clean it up, wipe and realign the mic and earpiece contacts to the motherboard or something (or you can try yourself if you're comfortable with that). Can't think of anything else to suggest.
It is a known issue and I have the same problem. On the stock u can disable noise reduction to get rid of this issue, but it is not available in CM 10
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the quick answers guys. It does seem to change on different ROMS. I'll keep you posted on what works for me.
bumping for answers lol
did you find out what was the best rom for you?
because im having the same problem and i tried the eprinter cm10 then the neutrino cm7 aswell and have same results, dont know what rom to try now

No Call Audio Jelly Bean

I have no audio on calls on Jelly bean. Ive tried switching roms to different Jelly bean roms and no difference. This is so annyoing cause I can not call or receive calls! Any solutions??
I had this happen to me. I called at&t and they disconnected and reconnected my phone to the local tower and it started working fine again.
I get the same problems using a couple roms on here...I get reboots..then when comes back on I have no data..or someone will call and I can hear thrm but they cannot hear me....I found just rebooting fixes this...but I'm starting to hate JB right now...lol
If this solved the problem please respond and add [SOLVED] to the thread title so others with the same problem can benefit
I have the exact same problem with CM10, and it started with an old nightly, then I upgraded to the latest nightly and its still occuring. Anyone know whats going on, I don't want to go back to CM9
Rebooting is not fixing it.

Try a re flash. That was the only way I corrected this issue when I was running JB. I'm on ICS now and all issues have gone away. Soon, JB will be that way too. Until then though....
Sent from one bad ass, highly modified, Samsung Galaxy Note running Novena A3 using the BEST in mobile apps, XDA-Developers!
Until official jb source drops for our phone this will be a problem on ALL job roms . It seems to affect some more than others. For me, this happened less often than for most. However, it always happened at the worst times.. I am currently using the ICS based 7005 ROM with Google now and 4.2 camera flashed after the fact and find it to be an excellent compromise. 100% stability with 95% of the feature set and buttery smoothness.
I can't wait to see what PTMR3 does with padawan on this base....or better yet what manelscout4life brings us with official jellybean code..
