I have the Verizon version of the 6800 and am having trouble using the factory BT handsfree in my '08 Nissan Armada. The phone pairs fine, but, when I use the phone, the other party cannot hear me and they sound very scratchy. A little web searching and I learned that this is a common problem with this particular model phone. I love this phone and have no other issues with it (other than I would like to raise the handset volume some, which I have also seen discussed here). I dont want to change phones, but the inability to use my car's handsfree is kind of a biggie problem for me.
A little reading through the forum here suggests to me that updating my ROM & Radio could fix this problem. I am a complete newbie to this, so I'm not even sure that I understand what these terms mean. So, before I spend a lot of time educating myself on how to do this and what ROM/Radio I should use, I would like to ask if it will be worth my while. Can anyone here with some experinace in this area tell me if updating ROM/Radio is likely to solve my particular issue?
TIA for any help/advice.
Bump...any advice?
Well, after scouring this forum, I think I have my answer in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353632&highlight=nissan
Unfortunately, the answer is, NO...upgrading either ROM or Radio will NOT solve my problem.
Anyone with Happy News about a fix will have my undying appreciation.
My Phone lights up but no ringtones are heard when a call is being received.
When i answer it (my wife calling from her eris) there is no audio going through so i cant hear her. the same happens when i call her, she answers but cant hear me screaming down the phone, haha.
This happens 1/3 of the time, and is getting annoying. Is there a fix for this, has anyone else had the same problem, should i call Verizon? Can anyone direct/move me to a different thread. Looking for any leads at all.
Both phones Eris 2.1
One manual update
One OTA update.
Non Rooted.
Thanks guys
Jonathan.
Hi Jonathan.
I was having that problem for a while, too. I saw a suggestion on a forum that has seemed to help me. There is an option in your settings on 2.1 that automatically quiets the ringer of your phone when you pick up the phone. I switched this setting to OFF, and it has seemed to alleviate my problems. I hope that helps!
Ok, here's my problem - my bf and I are in Australia currently and we both have vibrants(TMOUS). Lately his vibrant has been slow to pick up on calls and is actually prone to miss them. We've been testing with our old nokia dumbphone and when I ring from it, his phone will be silent until like the 3rd ring before his ringtone goes off. It's quite weird since I've never seen this issue before. We're both stock atm but I'm thinking of reloading the stock ROM to see if this will settle the issue. Has anyone else came across this before?
bump, still looking for help here.
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?

Yes, I am.
well, not sure if it was because my tons of complaints, but it seems Wind fixed whatever was wrong with their network...
my wife's vibrant as well as mine are working perfectly right now.
Is the problem solved for you as well?
Lucio
have had this issue for awhile now. When running sense based roms people can only hear me during calls if i put my phone on speaker mode. otherwise they say i sounds like i am super far away or they can't hear me at all. when running CM10 people cannot hear me whether my phone is on speaker or not.
has anyone heard of this or have any idea how to possibly fix this issue?
HELP HELP PLEASE!!!
thank you in advanced.
nothing?
i was afraid of this
