No sound in calls problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello every one
i just bought this s3 yesterday from a friend who bought it a week ago and it was working great until i decide it to factore reset it after that i couldent here sound on voice calls (cant send or recive sound in voice calls ) the speaker and the mic are working i;ve tested them with recording app so i guess no hardware problem
i searched about this problem and found that there is some peoble with same isue but the diffrent is they all did root and cf witch i didnt no root no cf
so far i've tried full wipe format and tried to flash stock firmware with odin with no sucess (i flashed only the rom pda file there was no modem file in the rom rar )
my device info:
Gt-i9300
android v 4.0.4
baseband v i9300xxlef
kernal v 3.0.15-611327-user
[email protected]#1
build number
imm76d.19300xxalef

I had the same problem, but I did flash root and a custom kernel.
I am not sure which one caused it, but after I flashed CM9 it solved itself.
I also performed, factory wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe.

i was thinking CF i will try it tommrrow with CM9
did you try to get back to stock and see if problem still?

Had this today actually .
I went into wireless&Networks > More Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Providers. Let it do its thing and then selected at&t since I'm in the states and boom it worked. Hope this helps.

similar issue here too.
i can hear the other person but they cant hear me. hard reset or flashing rom will fix it but it somehow reverts back to it in a few hours time

I am also facing the same issue.
Flashed back to stock rom but no luck.
Anybody solved the problem yet....
Thanks,
Dev

Like I said in the OP, After doing that it works no problem now. Give it a try. Its like it needs to register with the carrier.

I tried with CM9 and tried choosing the network operation explicitly but no luck.
I bought it only last week so O2 is happy to take it back.
I will get a replacement soon.
Thanks,
Dev

Got the brand new replacement from O2.
Flashed back to CM9 and ended up with same problem.
Flashed back to stock rom downloaded from samfirmware.com
And voila....it works.

any idea on how to fix this exactly??? Have tried many modems, stock fws, cfws, but still the same issue, everything started after a factory reset!
PLEASE HELP!

Same here
Had tried Lots offl roms. Cm9 cm10 paranoidroid and omega still the same. ..

Yes This resolved my problem.
My problem happened when i installed Moddy ROM V11 which will update Modem also. Then i tried flashing different modem still no luck data all works fine. On *#0*# gave no indication of hardware faulty. Then i flashed stock ROM for singapore via odin still on change in status. Then i again tried other modems by rooting again. Finally searched on XDA and this simple trick helped Thanks a ton. :good::victory:

[Q] Phone totally screwed?

Hey all.
I was on MIUI 1.9.2 and flashed VillainRom (wiped everything as usual) and after the reboot, I couldn't get any signal. Went to the mobile network screen and I get an error saying I don't have a sim card in my phone.
My baseband and IMEI all read unknown.
Tried restoring a nandroid with no luck.
Are there any fixes or do I need to send it off to be fixed?
Sent from my GT-I9100
Another problem with Custom Rom!
Anyway, do a Factory Reset, if it doesn't work then flash Stock ROM.

This might be a long shot but try toggling airplane mode on, reboot the phone and once fully booted toggle airplane mode off.
This issue has nothing to do with the Rom you flashed, (not VillainRom anyway) it seems in all your flashing you may have messed up your EFS partition, some people got it back when they flashed a stock ROM, if you don't, you may need to get in contact with Odia, he can assist you with getting your IMEI back

[Q] [HELP] Bluetooth Reboot LOOP !

Hi,
first I already searched for similar problems but i didn't find any thread that helped.
So.. I've SGSII with the official stock rom and not rooted, the phone was working fine and I've used the bluetooth before several times without any problems.
suddenly I needed to receive files via bluetooth, but once i turn it on the device start rebooting endlessly .. till i turn the bluetooth off
it will reboot every 10 seconds so I've to turn the bluetooth immediately once it start..
I'm using the official rom JPKJ2 2.3.5 with it's stock kernal, and never rooted the device before.
is it a manufacturer problem ? or something else ?
and how can I fix it ?
excuse my bad english, and thanks in advance =)

If it's worth the trouble then Try Factory Reset... Since your device is not rooted. Get CallLogBackupRestore and SMSBackupRestore free from playstore to backup your sms and call log. coz your device will wipe all data. Test see if it runs fine with factory defaults
check for the latest bt update?i mean is ur bt up to date?

I'll root the device now and backup the data using titanium backup, then will try factory reset.
I'll update what's happening then.

Unlocked Note on T-Mobile with NO Sim error

i've been working on this Galaxy Note for about a week now. it is an AT&T i717 and it is unlocked. It worked before when my sister used it with t-mobile but now whenever I put my sim in it says "NO SIM/Emergency Calls Only". I've tried everything I know of: restoring it back to Stock 2.3.6 with Odin, restoring it to 4.0.3 with Odin, factory resets, wiping cache, wiping dalvik cache, formatting all of the data, flashing different modems, flashing at&t stock kernel, flashing at&t stock radio. out of all of this none of it has worked. I would think there was something wrong with the sim tray/contact but it worked fine a little over week ago. there is no problem with the imei or baseband, both show up regularly. I'm pretty much out of ideas so any new ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
its a known issue for very few here.. just do a search.. you will find the thread(s).
havent read if they have found a solution before but last time i read the only fix was when somebody sent it in for a fix

I've done a lot of digging around here and I haven't found anything that's worked.
Also, my sim works completely fine in my GS2 so there's nothing wrong with the sim.

which radio did you flash? I've tried the Blaze radio and of course the stock at&t but I'll try the other ones. And which ROM would you recommend?
and thank you so much, I've been working on this phone for a while and it's been kinda stressful lol.
OP, I had the same issue, once I flashed any radio, my sim would not be recognized. I tried everything and it seems the only thing that worked was to flash original GB AT&T stock rom using odin and basically unrooting it. as factory as it could get. Then from there, root it. then upgrade to any rom. Make sure everything works before before flashing another radio. before you do so, do a nandroid to save you hassle.

[Q] Galaxy S3 no mobile network after Installing Custom ROM

Hi everyone, I Installed latest Omega ROM and ever since I have no mobile network data connection. Phone does work, wifi too.
APN is set, I tried several advices posted here and similar webs but no results so far.
I tried to install the modem.bin original from my mobile provider and nothing.
I tried ARIZA´s patch and nothing. IMEI has not changed.
Tried several wipes and format system/data/cache. Nothing.
Running out of ideas here, besides that, phone seems to work fine.
Help!

Sorry for you

[Q]no sound during the calls, network drops, but viber works fine

hello.
so here is my problem.
a friend of mine who owns a S3 , recently comes across this problem
no SOUND during calls, both incoming and outgoing (front ear speaker , back speaker and headphones , none of them work!!!)
but VIBER works fine (has sound in front ear speaker).
I flashed some ROM such as stock MB5 , Omega V43 , Android Revolution HD 23.3 ...etc , none of them has good luck , i also tried few different radio ... but still ...
any idea ? i don't think it should be a hardware problem because VIBER works.
If it's not hardware issue, try getting phone back to the factory settings, flashing stock ROM, unrooting, etc... And then you'll see.
Good luck

Maybe it's because of locked phone? I flashed ROM, but didn't unlock it, could it be the reason?

If youve tried everything? Try using megawipe to wipe before flashing rom, also redownload the rom again via the pc & also ask the dev what the m5 sum is & check it against your re downloaded rom before reflashing again & see if that works?
Hope this works if so press that thanks button :thumbup:

Try this out:
(Optinal backup)
1. First go to sammobile.com and find a PROPER firmware for your s3. Downloaded file should be .zip but extract it as .tar.md5 file.
2. Put your phone in download mode - Hold Vol Down + Power + Home for 10 seconds then press Vol Up to continue.
3. Download Odin 1.85 and run it.
4. Make sure that only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are checked and click on PDA, select the .tar.md5 file that you just extracted... Click start
Once it's done, put ur phone into recovery and wipe data/cache and then reboot...

if i may, what exactly is megawipe ? wipe everything ? i don't won't format internal SDcard because over 8GB datas and causes lots time to copy and past ... beside i really don't think internal SDcard has anything to do with it ...
with all due respect, it sounds like everything i have tried , what different does it make with my procedure ?
phone is not on my hand right now , will try so tomorrow.
everytime i install new ROM , i did WIPE data/cache, format /system partition and even fix permissions ...
no good at all , really strange !
i have never come across with such problem.
i googled and searched around XDA , some says it is hardware problem , but consider viber does work so i don't think it's hardware.
this is driving me nuts now ...
however it is Nerwork LOCKED phone ... but as far as i know , it should has nothing to do with it , but maybe need to put it under concern ...
oh wait a sec ,, i didn't upgrade the bootloader , could it be related ? i don't think so ...
didn't upgrade because the red mark over up-right side screen you know ...
but the way , everytime i try to test dial , it always has something like network dropped or no service or something like that , i can't exactly translate it ...

What do you mean phone is locked? Locked to one network? Or been locked because its been reported stolen or because its been locked due to the bill not been paid? Cause there is a solution to unlocking the sim to any network look in this forum for the apk. But if its cause the phone is locked due to an unpaid bill or been reported lost of stolen.... there is no fix (unless you wanna move out of europe?)

Vibes uses wifi so maybe flashing a new modem will fix your problem.. I've had this happen to me a few times on different phones and different android's.. Usually a few reboots fixed it but you need to try flashing a few radios for your country first..

I do not know what really causes the problem, but the main thing is: take the last stock rom FULL country and carrier that was bought the phone. In my case the XXDLJ4 is a rom vodafone in Portugal. I don´t now is work in another country or carrier.
For in the midst of several layers between hardware and software are sections that cooks do not touch rom (settings network operator and country) and performing jailbreaks or wrong things can corrupt those sections.
It was so decided.
If you want you can test a stock rom than the original phone, in my case gave error when using a rom free carrier, the charge for the phone (via ODIN) stopped. More certain is the size in MB of the sections are different from carrier to carrier (or country to country??).
Try it.
