[Q] No calling sound, sometimes =/ - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a bit of a weird problem, so thought I would throw it open to the good people on XDA.
Every so often, with no real pattern, rhyme or reason, my phone decides it ISN'T going to make a sound when I get a call, it vibrates, but does not actually ring.
I did a bit of testing yesterday and there is no logical reason for this to be happening, and it does not follow any pattern (rings for one call, doesn't the next, rings for next etc)
I am using stock XXEMC3 firmware (not the leaked 4.2.2), with JKay Deluxe Settings and Boeffla Kernel, no other mods that would effect this. I have reset all the Boeffla-Sound settings and still have the problem. This has been happening for quite a while now, and I have been thru at least 2 different firmware versions, and multiple versions of both JKay and Boeffla, so not sure where this bug may have come from.
Thanx in advance for any help u guys may be able to give.

did you try a kernel other than boeffla?

You don't have blocking mode enabled do you?

Nope, never tried any others, and never had any problems with Boeffla. Have asked this question in the Boeffla thread and AndiP has never heard of this issue before, no one else has ever come across it.

Nope, blocking mode is turned off. Also I have no apps that can control "quiet times" either.

My vibrate is working on 35.1. It could possibly be a bad download or maybe your vibrate motor just wore out. ( it is one of the few moving parts in our phone)
You could try redownloading/ reflash and if that doesn't work, I would return to stock eh03 to see if it functions at all.

so i thought i was having that issue till i hit the call button, went into dialer settings and enabled vibrate from there. try it out
I honestly had sort of the dame issue twice. I would get a weak weird vibrate instead and when I reset the phone it was fine again. It us probably due to the age of the phones is my best guess.

[Q] Official ICS Notification Issue

I'm not sure why but my notification sounds will stop working at a random times. I have to restart my phone to get them working again. I'll have text messages and email without a peep from my phone. Notification volume is at Max and will even play the default tone when adjusted but will not play a notification sound or vibrate for any event until I restart.
I can also now confirm that both my at&t GSIIs with ICS do this but mine seems to be more frequent.
Anyone having this issue?

have ya done a factory reset? Pulled battery for a few? checked the water things inside the phone?
all **** at&t will ask you to do.
Factory reset will most likely fix, or its just the fact that your running a stock at&t build.
I've done all of the above and no a factory reset didn't fix it.
Also my phone is not the only phone this issue is affecting. Both of my GSIIs are doing it plus the other folks if you look at the other forum posts.

I wonder the same thing. Why do people think this place is the help desk? Especially for phones running stock. Boggles the mind it does.

Problem with custom roms on I9300 - speaker not working when calling

Hi All,
recently I have rooted by Samsung Galaxy S III, flashed and reinstalled ROM to a custom one. The problem is that after I reinstalled the ROM, I am unable to hear anything in my speaker, when dialing. People cannot hear me on the other side either. This is pretty weird, as when I switch to loudspeaker, I can hear the phone call all right.
The issue happened for MIUI, several different versions I tried. It happened also for for pre-rooted TouchWiz that I found on the web and reinstalled after issue with MIUI.
Now I have cyanogenmod and the dialer WORKS fine for this ROM, without any issues. I just want to switch to MIUI, and I can see I might have the same issue for all custom ROMs, except cyanogenmod.
What's the problem? Can anyone advise?
I have attached dump from my android system info app, I hope this will be helpful.
I have the same problem on some AOKP, AOSP, CM roms, not on stock based roms, and after search and trying many many many things, i find that enabling screen lock sounds (or touch sounds) and restarting device, and keeping that enabled does solve the problem. But if you losing the network signal when you don't have the tone in call that might be a hardware issue.

URGENT. Phone rings people and they can hear me but i cannot hear them

Hey every body.
I'm having a nightmare with my s3.
Back at the start of April I changed my from from stock to cyanogen mod 9.1.
It was rooted prior to this and never gave any issues.
Cyanogen 9.1 worked perfect until today. I'm not sure if its an issue with the ROM or the phone
Symptoms are if I call somebody there us no dial tone but I can tell when they answer because the timer starts timing the call but I hear nothing.
They can hear me alright but that's it.
I tried flashing back my stock from but the phone won't recognize the next SD card.
Can anyone help please. I need this phone working
Thanks
Looks like the issue sorted itself out on its own accord.
Can anyone shed some light on what to do if it does it again?
I have got the same issue. I don't know why is it happening, but I have the solution.
###
Turn ON the screen lock sound in the audio settings. Restart your S3. Thats it. Keep it on.

[Q] [HELP] S3 Automatically Turns On when plugged in

Hi everyone
Last night, when i plugged my usb charger to my S3 since it was drained, my phone suddenly turns on without hitting the power button,
I tried turning it off, then plugged again, the Grey battery icon with progress showed but then i was hoping to see the battery icon with green color (the usual icon when it is charging) instead it turned on.
I tried, installing stock rom, Official one, and everything is ok, phone doesnt turn on
Tried clearing cache and dalvik, same turning on happened
Tried installing a fresh ROM, still it turned on after plugged in
Can you help me guys... It doesnt affect my phone, but its quite annoying.

Simple, expand notification bar, then switch to rapid settings screen, here you find offline/airplane mode(depends on translation), the one with the airplane icon, after you enabled this all networks(cell net. Wifi bt ecc...) will be shut down, you can re enable wifi if u want to surf web , i suggest you to reboot the phone sometime(one every 1 or 2 days).

That is not true. I have never experienced such an issue on any rom I have flashed, I also did a quick search here on xda and cannot find anyone else with this problem.
@cgren
Does this only happen on one specific rom?
Since it does not happen in stock it might be an option in the rom/kernel you have chosen but since you have given no information I cannot check for you.

But on Official Samsung Roms Everything is ok.
No biggie. As long as it doesnt affect my phone's performance its fine with me. :victory:
