Cant hear anything when making calls - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have tried around 5 different ROMs and I keep coming across this problem. The recipients of the call can hear me but nothing looks to be happening my end, no calling beeps or ringing tones.
any ideas? Is it something simple like a kernel issue or radio?
I am currently using SlimBean 3 and stock radio/kernel that comes with it.

It really depends on your area. Check the stickie for the modem and ril thread. mb5 is what worked for me.

Think you have the same problem I had. You could try suggestions in these post, but probably will have to
send it in, good luck!

HELP! Keep getting phone calls from myself.

I keep getting phone calls from my own number. When I answer the phone nothing. I also occasionally get anonymous texts with no text or any other content. I am running trigger 2.6. Just curious if anyone has had similar problems or could offer any insight. Thank you
WTF?
Just ODIN back and start over... that sounds way crazy and not related to the rom. You may just have a bad app though.
Lol, ghost of the vibrant rom!!! Whooooo
You just got punked by someone using Bluff My Call .
hmm.. there's apps that fakes numbers..

Talk to your doctor and tell him the medication isn't working anymore and you need a stronger prescription.
The real question is:
if you called yourself, would you answer?!?!?!?
No, the REAL question is where can I get ME some of that!?!?!
LOL this is so funny

lighting rom, but i believe this issue was said to have started before, however i could be wrong!
just grabbed my next door neighbour and did 2 way test, i walked around the block on his 7 year phone and he sounded muffled on mine - went back to my phone and he was having trouble making me out but sound clear to me - bollocks!
guess i better flash stock back again.

Better if you change your rom and test it again...

This is exactly what happens to me!!!
I suddenly start sounding muffled...
when my wife goes out of town...
and I go on a drinking rampage.
But then she comes back, and everything is back to normal.
Sorry OP, for makign a joke here. Yeah like others said, try factory reset and then restore factory firmware.
Some ppl claim that this happens when u r using a case cover blocking the mic for noise reduction. Try using it without and see if this solves the problem!!
Hope this helps!!

With the phone itself. It seems to be a certain location your mouth is to the mic just causes muffled sound. And the noise cancellation seems to be part of the issue, doesn't work correctly. So turning it off sometimes helps.
well i called O2, and they are swapping me a brand new one tomorrow, as i have had one month!, ordered on 25th May and called yesterday being 25th June.
they are bring me one to my house - that is service!
i did try flashing stock rom, but no difference, tested my mates and his sounds fine, pretty sure there is an issue. oh well a new one will do!

[Q] HTC One Call Quality Issues

Hello everyone!
I have an HTC One on the AT&T network and just recently it starting acting up.
I love the phone to death, but it is creating an extremely awful hissing/loud static sound when calling someone.
It only happens on the other persons end. I can hear them just fine, but on their end they can't hear me AT ALL.
Very wierd thing is that this only occurs when making calls via on-ear. When making calls through speaker phone it's perfectly fine!
Anyone have any ideas?? This is a very wierd situation, and I can't seem to find anyone else who has this problem!
Thanks in advance!

Sorry for not clarifying that!
if i were you i would either trade it in for a new one or s-off and try a custom rom and see if it persists. if it does return back to stock and return it for a new one

Still awaiting HTC Response...
Tried resetting the phone to no avail
It's wierd also becasue a video i took a wekk ago has flawless audio and the one i took last night is AWFUL. I can't figure out for the life of me what could have happened!
Will keep you posted when i flash a ROM most likely tomorrow if HTC can't do anything for me!

Hi, curious if you tried another ROM and if it helped the sound?
just a quick tip just incase type~~
do you have anything covering the ambient sound hole on the back side under the power button?
or even your hand when you are talking on the phone?
I know mine used to sound messed up on the other end when holding the phone with my shoulders because it was covering that ambience sound hold.
just a thought

That's a good point. I hadn't thought of that during shoulder use. But personally, that's not a factor with my issue.

I had the same problem and it freaked the hell out of me. Someone in XDA suggested it might be because of incorrect gain levels and to fix it you can try making a loud noise near the microphone. To my surprise it did work and now its perfectly fine. I called a friend and shouted as much as i could and then blew as hard as possible into the bottom mic hole. Not sure what fixed it but its worth a shot.

Cutting out during calls

I have a problem and I can't figure out what is wrong. I am running hyperdrive on kt kernel but it happens on other rooms and kernels too. The microphone on my phone keeps cutting out during call. The person I am call than can no longer here me. I am able to get the microphone to work again if I put it into speaker phone Mode and than back to headset mode. Does anybody know what is wrong? Will they send me a updated phone if I send it in for warranty?

A friend from work was complaining about this same problem today. She is 100% stock. I might try to look at her phone tomorrow. Any suggestions from the community would be great.

Didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Might recommend a factory reset to her and if that doesn't resolve it, maybe a hardware swap.
I was going to say that aosp is the problem then someone is having same issues with stock, hmm weird on the stock one, as I know the others have the call bug.
Have you guys tried a different kernel or modem?

Yah I have had the same problem on both hyperdrive and slim bean. I have also tried both stock and kt kernel. I did upgrade the modem. I cant remember if I had the same problemon the release modem. Could it be a modem problem? Didn't think of that because it seemed like a microphone issue
I've been having issues on stock also. Its usually when I'm on the phone and sometimes it'll cut out on me and I can't really hear what the person on the other end is saying.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
I want to bump this. I am still having this problem. I have even Odin the factory image. Seems like a software problem to me though.
Cuts out
If you turn off the proximity ssensor, the dialpad stays on. When your cheek touches it, the phone will mute, end call, etc.

[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?
