[Q] No sound when calling but speaker works fine - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been using the nightly CM10.1 builds for a while now and it has always worked but lately when I tried to call someone I didn't hear the ringing before the call goes through and I can't hear them talking either but the speaker plays music and videos fine and I want to know how to fix this so I can call people normally again.
I have tried megawiping and reflashing, also going back to stock and starting again and other various methods like trying without gapps but I can't seem to get it to work and I really need it to cause its the only phone I can currently use but I found it was weird because this only occurs to my phone when running CM10.1 but calling works normally on stock and CM9.

I tried that as well and if you mean the thread on xda then I have posted my problem in the discussion thread and I was planning on asking on the CM forums about this problem.

I have same problem, I tried everything, flash ROM , radio, modem, full wipe, everything I could possibly thing of, but the Fu.cking problem is, the front speaker works fine with Viber, but absolutely no sound during the phone call!
And at end I sent it to warranty... hope it would work out

The weird thing was I could get the phone/dialer working but it wouldn't work if I reboot my phone or change any of the settings like turning off animations.

I think it's more of a CM / 4.2.x Version issue rather than a service centre issue - Read a few issues and some say this solves the problem, some say it doesn't give it a try
Ok, i might found a solution:
Turning on the lockscreen sound in the sound setting and then reboot. I´ll try it and then tell my experience with this solution.

really strange it is.

maybe replace motherboard will fix it ...

cannot hear when calling
Anyone have the solution yet?

it just happened to me to with AOKP (the last version - JB-MR1 Milestone 1)
Everything works fine, in a middle of a call the phone restarted and now there is no sound
Edit:
After a few full wipes and refreshing all is working good now.

Possible solution

[BROKEN] [Stock ICS W/ TouchWiz Deodexed] - Working HW Buttons and Calling.

*EDIT So many are having the FC issues, I am pulling it for now.
Sorry I guess 3 phones tested was not enough.
Will try to work out the kinks and get it back up soon.
I didn't do anything here except include Fennys new Phone APK and Qwerty KB fix. All the Kernel work is Fenny.
Thanks to Vlara and Howtomen for Putting the rom together with Fennys new Kernel which inclues the HW button fix.
Thanks also to Vlara for Deodexing.
The screen wake issue has yet to be resolved.
Other than that everything seems to be working fine.
All of Samsungs Bloatware is still there, including TouchWiz.
To adjust the Keyboard to the QWERTY android version from the QWERTZ Samsung Version, goto Language and Input, select Default, then English (US) Android Keyboard.
There is an issue with the kernel right now where you have to manually hash your restores, or they will not work.
Thanks again to FennyFatal, Vlara, and Howtomen!
URL REMOVED FOR NOW
Could use a mirror or two if anyone is interested! Please!
Updates will go here.
First!

Unable to use this ROM, set up fc's on Phone and Messaging constantly making set up impossible.
Skipping set up and going straight to the phone didnt help either. Any action (open an app, settings etc) is receive with "Phone has stopped responding" or "TWLauncher has stopped responding".
Can not hold a cell or wifi signal.
Flashed twice, same results each time.
Can we get a new phone.apk?
I can't get pass the "Galaxy SII" boot screen... :-(
How do you extract the kernel? I think its just the flash image and z image right?

[Q] is my s3 normal?

I recently bought an international GT-I9300 Galaxy s3. I am facing few problems. I get a 3-4 seconds lag when I open dialer contacts and messaging app but once i have opened them it seems like they stay in memory for some time and open instantly but after some time i get this horrible lag again. Is my phone normal? I searched the forums and some people are facing this while others not. Secondly whenever I charge my s3 through the AC adaptor, galaxy s3 shows as charging (USB). Then i unplug and plug again after few tries it shows charging (AC). Is my phone faulty or is this a software bugs? Any fixes to these problems? I am on everything stock and unrooted JB 4.1.1 I9300XXDLID. Thanks
Hello, first of all, did you buy it brand new? First, I trying turning of s voice as it is know to cause lags. Then I can developer options change the windows a d transition animation scale to 0.5. See if it gets better, it could just be that there are some bugs! I

Yes brand new with official damsung warranty. I have changes the animations and transition to 0.5 and disabled s voice.. Still the lag is present. Any solution? Should I send it to Samsung?
Are there any other lags beside the dialer and the messaging app?

Sorry for being a noob but this is my first Android phone and I have heard rooting/flashing voids warranty so I don't wanna risk it. I prefer doing it the simple way. Samsung should fix this bug soon.
there are ways to reset the flash counter..search the forum for triangle away. I flashed my S3 with many different custom ROMs. My phone earphone jack had some problem. I used triangle away, flash to stock ROM and bring it to Samsung for warranty. No problem with that..or maybe they didn't check thoroughly..:highfive:

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Dafuq happened there. Sorry man, never seen that
Woah bro. I have no idea what's up with your dialer. Are you on stock firmware and kernel? No root? No mods?
It only happened 2 or three times and I cannot reproduce at will.
First time was on stock rom without root.
Last time (screencapture 18/12/2012), was on sotmax_Ultimate_stock_V10_XXELKC_Aroma, but it was not a clean flash. I kept apps and data when I converted to sotmax rom. So it must be something carried over.
But happening very seldom, so not a big issue where I would want to risk a clean factory wipe.
Just hoped someone seen it as well.
Happened to me aswell today but exiting and reentering the Dialer sorted it out.
I'm on a clean install of crDroid 8.2!
so I am not alone :laugh:
same, here, exit and reopen fixed it immediately.
This has happened to me on various Sammy based ROMs all JB but different versions.
I really wouldn't worry about it to much, killing the app and opening works again.
Must be something with the dialer. The only thing I will say is that I did have all the motion stuff turned on.

Vanilla Rootbox V3.9.1 Camera Flash Bug

Hello XDA. This ROM (rootbox 3.9.1) is supposed to be stable, but when I turn on flash or automatic flash and I touch to focus then shoot, the camera app lags and force closes (and doesn't take the picture). This is annoying in so many ways, and makes it virtually impossible for me to take pictures in low light. Please help me address this issue for it is killing me and I don't feel like downloading a whole new ROM, flashing it and reorganizing all my settings all over again just to fix this issue. I also had this issue with CM10.1 (but that was normal, cause it is a nightly).
Anybody else have this issue? And possibly a fix?
Thanks in advance.
Also: inb4 "search the official root box thread". I did, and nobody seems to have this issue.

As far as I know this issue was fixed a couple of days ago in the CM Nightlies so maybe the Vanilla Rootbox base hasn't been updated yet or you aren't using their latest update.

Actually I've found a way to bypass this problem. If I turn on the volume key to take pictures function, autofocus with flash on and take the picture with the volume key, it doesn't crash. I guess I'll just have to live with it like this for now, oh well.

[Q] Low Volume Issues

I recently installed Cyanogen mod 11 on my Droid DNA.
Overall I'm loving the look and feel of Cyanogen mod, but I'm running in to some minor issues with maximum volume. For some reason the max volume for the speakers is now much quieter than it was before.
I've tried various solutions, one of which is here, I found the file they talk about but I have no "Speaker" section, just many variations.
Has anyone else had this issue? Does anybody know how I could force the max volume to be louder out of my speakers? I'm using YouTube videos as a reference.
I am running it and don't have this issue. Is your speaker partially blown or anything. Is there any physical damage on the phone.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Nope, no damage to the phone. And when I revert to the stock ROM the sound is perfectly fine.
That's strange. Maybe I'm just not used to it. I haven't noticed.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah with me it was a big difference, I might try going through the sound config file on my phone and upping all the volumes by a few percent to see if that helps.

Yeah I believe I was accidentally using a nightly instead of a snapshot.
However a couple days after I fixed this issue CM updated to a newer snapshot, and the sound is broken again. Do you think I should report this as a bug? Or just wait for the newest update?

If you did a clean install and it's on a snapshot you can report a bug. But if you didn't do a clean install do that first and then if it's still there report the bug.

viper4android Disables LPA
The only time I had ever had an issue was flashing a nightly dirty. I managed to recover the audio by installing viper4android.apk. The newer versions of V4A automatically detects if LPA (low powered audio) is enabled. It will give you an option to disable it, just tick that yes please button. Usually LPA only affects things like bluetooth audio so it wouldn't drain the battery as fast, but I know with previous CM versions they had a bluetooth audio issue. Most likely completely unrelated but there might have been a WIP that caused things to be construed. If another rom version works then i'd recommend just installing a stable release.
REMEMBER ~ you are able if you run stable :good:
This actually worked for me!
I downloaded Viper For Android, installed the updated drivers it recommended, then turned on "eXtra-Loud" for the phone speaker.
Audio is now just as loud as before.
Where's the thanks button? So that I can give you thanks.

Just wanted to pipe in with something that may be others source of low volume issues. I have had low volume on my stock Droid DNA for quite some time and really beat my head against the wall trying to figure it out. Turns out it was very simple for me but not terribly obvious. Get your phone out and look at the speaker grill (just below the Beats Audio logo on the back). Does it look a bit clogged? Mine was completely clogged (I don't use a case). I took out a toothbrush I use just for cleaning and cleared it up and my audio is nice and loud now. Just wanted to pass on this simple fix to try so others would see it.
Viper has been abandoned; what's a good ROM now?
