Today when I picked up a phone call, I heard no voice at all. The speaker located at the top portion of the phone (the one right beside your ear when you speak to someone on the phone)
I can hear the other side fine if I plug in earphone or use my blue tooth headset.
The thing is I didn't install any apps or change any settings for the past month. It just stopped working all of sudden.
I tried the following.
- Flashed back to Factory Rom Then did a Factory reset.
(problem still there)
- Installed 3 different custom roms on the forum.
(none fixed the speaker problem)
Any suggestions or hints? Am I left with returning the phone to have it fixed at Samsung?
I have the AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket and my phone used to auto-connect to my car via bluetooth without any problem, even after upgrading to ICS in early July. All of sudden since yesterday a problem has popped up: whenever I start the car, the car's control panel shows "bluetooth connection successful" or something similar, and then the car audio system switches into the talk mode as if the phone is in the mid of a phone call. Of course I am not in the middle of any phone call. So there is no audio heard (no radio, no cd playing, etc). I try to press the button on the car's panel to disconnect the call but it always returns to that talk mode. After some tests I find out that if I make any phone call, the call will be disconnected immediately and the status of my car's panel returns to normal. But next time when I start the car, the issue appears again until I make any phone call.
At the beginning I thought something was wrong with my car. Then I tried two other phones: one was iphone 3G, and the other was an old htc magic with android 2.2. Both of their bluetooth systems worked well with my car. So I believe it is something wrong with the Galaxy phone. However I am not sure what could be the problem exactly.
My phone is not rooted.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Maybe try GOING TO YOUR PHONE'S FORUMS this is not the skyrocket

Hello,
I'm new to this site so apologies if I'm in the wrong place or this has been raised before but I've googled with no joy..
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 uk unlocked.
For the last month or so m having problems with Bluetooth devices and loudspeaker (seems to be connected)
I can connect to bluetooth devices fine, beats wireless and vw car bluetooth.
It connects automatically and I can talk and hear fine, after a while the sounds drops and it goes echo like, I can't hear the other person at all but on the phone the green button Nader headset is still lit up and the connection is still made. I have to press the headset button to in light it/disconnect it and then re press to connect / light the button back up. I then can hear the person again but it does this continuously throughout the call. Listening to music via Bluetooth is fine and this problem doesnt arise.
When using loudspeaker it's the same, will go to phone (button lit) and I have to press it again twice to disconnect and reconnect.
Can't find out why this happens. I've done a factory reset and it allowed me a few days of it working fine but then goes back to normal.
Anyone else having this problem? I've read a lot about it disconnecting and having to repair but mine seems to stay connected but just drop the sound?
Cheers

same issues
I am having the same issues... did you find the solution?
Same issues too.. i thought it was my ford bluetooth (POS!)
This is such a simple problem..
I tried explaining this to HTC tech support but they only have AT&T phones to look at and hold when customers call in.
The AT&T HTC One (M7) phone uses a custom setup for its car dock mode.
I am asking anyone who does NOT have the AT&T version to do a simple car dock mode test.
Here is the problem:
In Car Dock mode (whether you launch it via the app drawer or you plug it in to the official dock which launches it for you) in the bottom right corner is the SPEAK icon.
Launching SPEAK will enable you to call someone or search for music by voice (simple) it also has confirmation though unlike Google Voice Dialer or Google Voice Search.
(there is no icon in the App Drawer) it is only accessible in CAR Mode.
The problem is when you launch it, by design it searches through your contacts and music for just a few seconds to check if you have new contacts or music since the last time you launched it and becomes aware of them. So when opening SPEAK it says on the screen:
"PLEASE WAIT A FEW SECONDS WHILE UPDATING CONTACTS AND MUSIC".. (not the exact wording but close enough)
(it also says audibly via the speakers "PLEASE WAIT" (again, not the exact wording but close enough)
Then when its done searching (about 1 - 3 seconds) it makes a tone and starts listening for your commands.
This works perfect and its a great feature when driving.
NOW HERE IS THE PROBLEM I NEED TESTED:
When a bluetooth device is connected it will hang on the screen where it says:
"PLEASE WAIT A FEW SECONDS WHILE UPDATING CONTACTS AND MUSIC".. (not the exact wording but close enough)
At this point you should hear "PLEASE WAIT" (again, not the exact wording but close enough) but that NEVER happens, it just hangs there until you disconnect the bluetooth device and then reconnect it. Upon the bluetooth device reconnecting it finishes searching and works without any problems.
NOW PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY..
It works with a bluetooth car stereo, headset, etc just fine if you launch the SPEAK app from the Car Dock icon. All is spoken through the bluetooth device and all is perfect like you would expect.
Its ONLY when launching it via your bluetooth button that it hangs.
So the audio stream is working either way, but its the initialization from the bluetooth device that causes the hang..
THIS IS SO SIMPLE TO TEST FOR ANYONE WITH A BLUETOOTH CAR STEREO, HEADSET, ETC. EXCEPT FOR HTC BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAVE THE STUPID AT&T VERSION AT HTC TECH SUPPORT (argh!)
I managed to get it to work back to back successfully only once but I can not get it to do it again.
IF I can get a few people to verify this flaw we can get a fix started via HTC.
I tried to report the problem to them but they can not see what I am talking about so directing them to this forum after others verify it might just make the difference.
Any and all help is very appreciated, thanks...
Have you been able to use any other bluetooth device successfully? And have you checked the compatibility of that device with your phone? From what you're telling me, it seems very much like a bluetooth device compatibility problem, which is the same issue I had when I had a custom ROM flashed with my old HTC Rezound

Absolutely not a bluetooth device incompatibility.
All bluetooth devices I have tested (3 different models total: 1 car stereo and 2 different earpieces) work just fine when NOT in CAR mode.
The HTC One (M7) treats a bluetooth button press the same as any other android phone when NOT in CAR mode.
It will bring up a different dialer which uses voice commands and this works fine.
Answering phone calls and dialing out via bluetooth work on both earpieces when not in CAR mode.
The car stereo also starts the voice dialer when NOT in CAR mode, same as the 2 earpieces that were tested.
ONLY CAR mode will start SPEAK when pressing the same bluetooth button.
However as I described above, You can successfully use all 3 bluetooth devices (audio is routed through all 3 devices' microphones and speakers) if you press the SPEAK icon in CAR mode.
Pressing the bluetooth button to start SPEAK causes the fail on all 3. Sounds like the SPEAK app to me but I/we won't know without more feedback.
Thanks for the suggestion but I have now successfully tested 3 different devices that can START and HANGUP and REDIAL calls but the same 3 fail when pressing the bluetooth button in CAR mode hence I am trying to verify if others experience the same results.
Do you have a bluetooth earpiece or car stereo with bluetooth to test yours with?
I sadly don't have a device that I can test with my phone at the moment. I will see if I can dig one up and test it on my own. Have you tried going to your carrier and resolving the issue with them? I'm sure they'll be happy to replace the phone if it's still under warranty (seeing as it just came out, it should be) and the issue is legitimate.

Replacing a phone with a design flaw just gets me another phone with a design flaw. That is why we need to test it here and verify what results we all get.
I have the EXACT same problem using Bose 2 Bluetooth headset!

Voice dialing does not work on my T-mobile HTC one with my JVC stereo either. I have exactly the same symptoms you describe. My nexus one with CM 7.1 works perfectly and has for the last two years - so I know the issues I have are not related to my stereo.
Other things that work perfectly on my nexus one but are broken on the HTC one include:
AVRCP play / pause commands in music
AVRCP play / pause command in beyond pod
Wifi tethering
Notification light (HTC one light only flashes for five minutes, or not at all if connected to power)
Google voice (resets to T-mobile voicemail every few days)
Does not seem to get push notifications (have to wake the phone to check email, etc – presumably this is for power savings, but despite this nexus one has better battery life)
I think I am going to return the HTC one and wait for the next nexus device. The camera, speakers and screen are great on the HTC one, but every one of the above issues is a deal breaker for me (I use car mode / AVRCP a LOT). I’d consider cyanogen mod, but the lack of native camera support (optical image stabilization, low light performance, etc) due to no HTC camera driver source code / reliance on sense UI removes one of the biggest advantages this phone has over a nexus phone. I think I could stay with sense and root / hack a fix to all of the above problems except for voice commands in car mode (the original topic of this post) – I have no faith HTC will ever fix this. I tried using google search / voice commands as a replacement, but could not get that to work either. If anyone has a workaround for this issue please let me know, as that would be the difference between me keeping and retuning this phone. I have spent a month trying to like this phone, but it has too many software issues (above plus no recent apps button, menu overflow button). My nexus one just works – no need to research hacks on XDA to fix HTC and T-mobile limitations.

The Renovate ROM is fantastic you should really give it a try, the only thing that still does not work is the HTC speak app, but everything else you mentioned above I have not seen any problems with my mine.
They have updated the Renovate rom to 2.0 but I'm still running 1.0 with no issues at all.
I love the rom, the phone is fantastic except for the one issue with the voice dialer which eventually they will release an update for. You need to change the play/pause button when rooted to be the same key (key 200) if thats the problem.
I also set my forward track button to bring up Google search when long pressed, its great for driving to be able to long press a button on the stereo that I don't really use in that way already to do a Google voice search. I then use llama to return back to car dock mode after 20 seconds so that way I can get my results read to me from Google through the JVC so then it automatically goes back to car dock mode after long pressing the foward track key.
I can verify the same behavior. I came in looking for a MacGyver fix for the dock slipping and found this. When just connected to my headset no issues, but also add the car stereo in the mix and even with my headset I get the endless delay. I have always flashed my phones as soon as possible but with this I think I am going to wait and see what ROMS the senseless edition might bring that sounds imminent. Although I think I may be the only one who LIKES blinkfeed.
I like blinkfeed too.. I know some people complain about it, it's a sweet feature if you ask me but can't please all the people all the time..
I've now also an issue with my dock in that when I dock the phone it goes in to car mode, but then straight away opens up "Display Settings" even if i go "home", a few seconds later it opens it back up. Annoying, don't want to do a factory reset just yet.
Hi, I've got this issue too on my European HTC One with plantronic Discovery 975 headset
Hey All,
My phone is pretty much stock, (close to) latest HBOOT/Radios/OTA (ICS), although I have flashed whatever version of TWRP was around way back when the latest OTA came about and rooted it.
Anyway, I've got a peculiar thing happening that I only just discovered: When I pair and connect my phone's bluetooth radio with the audio system in my car (the car is a recent addition to the family), I can't get the phone app audio to work properly over the car's audio system.
One possible clue is that I do use PowerAmp to play music over BT, and it works fine. When I dial the phone and press send, as soon as dialing ensues, music is interrupted, the phone number I'm dialing shows in the radio's screen, but audio goes completely silent. I have to manually change the phone app's sound from BT to speaker to continue with phone calls.
Have any of your experts ever had, and solved, this issue?
Thanks!
john
