Hi all,
Hoping someone can help here as i've had this problem for just over three days now and its getting very annoying!
I had the custom lite'ning ROM on my sgs2 before the weekend, and decided to upgrade to the official O2 (uk) ICS rom 4.0.3.
To do this I have to flash the original kernel onto my phone using ODIN before Kies will recognise it and update the samsung way.
Therefore, I did this using ODIN, put android 2.3.3 back on using the official O2 ROM that was on the phone originally. I then plugged into Kies, and it now recognises my phone, but rather than telling me an update is available as i'd expect it now tells me that the phone is not updateable.
I have put numerous custom ROM's on the phone over the past 12 months and have mostly been rooted, and the binary counter has gone up. Therefore i purchased a jig, which reset the counter as i wanted. Could this be what has caused the phone to now be non updateable via Kies?
Any how, not to worry, i put the 4.0.3 O2 ROM on manually via ODIN, and all is good. However, now, whenever I connect to my car stereo over bluetooth and stream my music through it, after about 15 mins of connectivity, the phone randomly restarts itself. This is the only time it does it and it's driving me crazy on my journeys to and from work!
If anyone can offer me some advice on this i'd be eternally grateful, as I am planning on selling the phone soon and do not want to do this until the phone is fully functional without bugs (be unfair on the buyer.)
Cheers,
Luke.

KIES updates official Samsung roms
If anyone can offer me some advice on this i'd be eternally grateful, as I am planning on selling the phone soon and do not want to do this until the phone is fully functional without bugs (be unfair on the buyer.)
Two routes to upgrades one original firmware via KIES eventually.
Join XDA and flash stock Samsung roms via Odin as soon as released .
Mix and match no one or the other as often you have miss matched codes showing to Kies .
Wipe phone reflash firmware is best suggestion .
or download ICS O2 firmware via CHECKFUS .

Yep, this is why i flashed the original stock O2 ROM back on the phone using ODIN, for the purpose of updating to ICS via Kies the "official" way.
I got the official O2 firmware from sammobile so its definitely the correct one. But like i say, although Kies recognises the firmware, it says that it is not updateable. Strange seeing as though the official O2 ICS firmware 4.0.3 is now out and updateable via Kies. As this did not work, I flashed it on manually using ODIN.
Any suggestions on the bluetooth issue? This is my biggest problem at the moment.
I have done a data wipe and a cache wipe and so far neither of these have fixed it.
Cheers,
Luke.
Sorry no idea ICS is not a product i use .

It sounds like something's messed up there. Can you provide all of the versions of your kernel, ROM and baseband from settings -> about?
I have the same issue. After upgrading from 2.3.5 to 4.0.3 and doing a factory reset, my phone works like a charm except when I have it connected via Bluetooth to my car stereo. At random intervals, the phone will reboot and once started, does not make an automatic connection with my car stereo again. I have to disable BT and re-enable it on my car stereo to connect them.
My versions are:
Modelnumber: GT-I9100
Android version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: I9100XXLPS
Kernel version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913 [email protected] #3
Buildnumber: IML74K.XWLP7
CWM kernel: CF-Root 5.4
I have flashed both kernel and root with Odin from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
The funny thing is, I know when a reboot is about to happen since I hear a glitch in the sound a little before it happens.
Hope this helps pinpoint the issue.

Until yesterday I used several different ROMs, without having any sound problem.
The problem started when I flashed Syiah kernel 1.2.6 (which might be a coincidence), while being on OMEGA-ROM. Thereafter I couldn't hear anything in phone calls any more (but others can hear me) on any ROOTED firmware or ROMs.
Reverting back to Syiah 1.1 (or switching to any other kernel) didn't help, neither did flashing any other rom.
Full wipe (including all storage space) solved the problem temporarlily. But after reboot no sound in phone calls again. Also changing the modem first helped, but the problem re-appeared after the first reboot.
Finally I flashed stock rom (LF2) via ODIN. Now the problem was solved - I believed. I could hear people in phone calls even after several reboots. But as soon as I rooted the phone with CF-Root AND changed some files on /system/media/ui the call sound was gone again after the following re-boot.
I reflashed again to stoch firmware via ODIN and now I have to live with an unrooted phone, which is not the worst thing in the world. But I really would like to be able to use custom ROMs again...
Anyone with similar experiences or with any idea about possible causes and/or solutions???

Can you record sound with other apps?
That should see if its a problem with just the phone apk or a more native problem.

Well, others can hear me but I can't hear them in phone calls. There is no problem with the phone speaker, because I can use viber without problems.

BUMP! I'm having the same problem!
I'm hoping it's not a hardware problem.
I wonder if any dev can chime in.
Well, it shouldn't be hardware related, because there is no problem on unmodified stock firmware.

You have the same problem, but after flashing syiah?
If yes it is not coincidence i think.
Kernel has sound modifications for last version 1.26
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I noticed I had the problem intermittently when I first started using Foxhound on Saturday. Foxhound comes bundled with Syiah.
I thought it was something else all together. I asked in the Foxhound thread and only one other person +1'd my post. Today I switched to Omega hoping it the problem would go away and it was actually worse.
I was testing just now and every time I called my phone I could hear nothing on my handset or through headphones. Just in case I did't accidentally flubbed anything else up I unfroze all the TB apps I had frozen to see if it was working. Interestingly after defrosting and rebooting I can hear again. Attached are the apps I had frozen.
But this has not been the first time it was working correctly and then go back to not hearing calls.

I strive for that. What I would do:
Flash stock rom
Factory reset via stock recovery
flash stock
cfroot
and then check if it is still a problem.
That is why the topic OMEGA asked that the next versions were the stock kernel.
That is why in order to avoid such problems.

Yes, it all started after flashing syiah 1.2.6. So maybe it's not a coincidence after all.

For me it has also been an intermittent problem. Kernel changes, modem changes, wipes, etc often temporarily helped - but only for one boot cycle. A reboot always brought the problem back. Only on stock firmware I can always hear.

I have done exactly that - and the problem is gone as long as you only do these steps. But modifying the system partition in any way (changing, deleting or adding files or flashing custom rom) brings you back to square one.

And may you have an earlier backup? Stock with cfroot or similar?

The sound problem is there even when I restore earlier backups. Now I am on stock firmware and everything is okay.
But I would like to use custom ROMs again with working phone call function, which is not possible for now.

This is the weirdest problem that I have seen here.
Just a status update. I have done some more testing and obviously what makes call sounds not to work is certain changes to the system partition (as compared to stock firmware).
In my case call sound works as long as I am on stock firmware (no matter what stock firmware; I have tested three or four different ones). If I root stock firmware with CF-root I still have call sound. I also can change kernels and it is possible to modify host files with ad-free.
However, as soon as I manually change or modify anything on the system-partition with root explorer or when I install custom ROMs the call sound disappears after the next reboot - no matter what radio I use. I also have tested the radio from the newest malaysian firmware which has surfaced today.

Thanks for your testing!
Like I mentioned in my earlier post I unfroze all of the apps and I have not run into the issue. My phone is running Omega 5.2 with Siyah 1.2.6. I'm totally expecting the problem to return but it has not so far. I wish it was consistent and reproducible.

I got that problem myself, the only thing that really helped for me is to
flash my Stock Rom that where on the Phone out of the Box... since 2 Days
the Bug is gone. But havent tried any other Stock Rom.
I want to try Omega 6.0 Rom...(now)
I was thinking about flashing CF-Root and do those steps before custom:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe Cache Partition
3. In Advanced ---> Format System/Cache/Data (someone tried this before?)
4. Flash the Rom.
My Question is for those guys like me where the only solution is to stay on
non rooted stock rom, have you tried flashing a custom rom with step 3. from above and still encounter the call issue?
I read somewhere that with step 3. the Phone is really FULL WIPE.
Sorry for my bad english :silly:
So basically, I installed Foxhound ROM 1.4.1 (XXALE8) with Siyah kernel and from then I have had no sound on outgoing calls (from my mic) and no sound either way on incoming calls.
After reflashing, wiping, restoring Nandroids, flashing different ROMs and everything else I could think of. There was no fix apart from going back to Stock.
If i go back to the Stock ROM then sound works 100%. I can root and install a custom recovery (via gs3 tools) with no problem and audio works perfect. But as soon as i install a custom ROM it no longer works (even ROMs which i could previously install fine).
I would really really appreciate any help at all that people can give or if anyone else has this issue if they can post so we can try to find the cause of the problem. I have found a few mentions of this here and there on different ROM threads but by posting here someone more knowledgeable may see it and be able to post a resolution.
Any help would be massively appreciated!!

I have the same problem, however I was on stock when it happened. And it JUST happened for no reason after a call. Nothing helps. Really nothing. I've flashed custom, different stock roms, reset etc etc. The modem must be damaged some how as KIES says there is a software update available, I download and install it and then upon reboot it says the same again. The phone looks as if it's connecting but after 10-30 seconds it says out or range or similar and disconnects from the network for about 10 seconds and then reconnects.
Sometimes I can hear a crack sound for a second before it fails to connect a call.
Everything else works perfectly.
Are you on 3 UK by any chance? Apparently an ota with new modem was released yesterday that fixes it. Look in the foxhound thread (I'm just relaying what I've read, I know no more than that)
Good luck guys

Hi guys
i have galaxy S3 with the same problem when you try or make a call there is no sound even if you will used the speaker headset there is no sound and when i end the call the signal bar becomes circle void but it will came back again the signal. i try to make a software and reheat the audio ic and it is the same still no sound on call
iam live in ksa
i send it back to samsung to solve the problem and iam waitting for them
Same problem here, had no problems flashing different modems on Omega 27 until I moved from siyah kernel to Franco kernel. Now got no sound problem during call. Can get call sound back sometimes by playing wth clearing caches, fixing permissions etc. I do always get sound back by restoring nandroid. Drives me nuts! Wish I knew what causes it

Hi guys, i'm from Portugal, and i have installed omni rom 4.4.2 into my Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE ( GT-I9305). I installed properly using full wipe and cleaning the cache but, after a week using this rom, the sound into my device was death. Don't have sound into notifications, calls, even using headphones, don't have sound. Already reinstall the room making all the process again, but i have the same problem all the time. Someone can help me please?

I've started getting a situation when I install a MIUI based ROM in my I9300T, and any call to or from a mobile has extremely distorted audio (sounds like an amplifier trying to run at 150%) in both directions.
The audio is fine to landlines, so it sounds like it might be CODEC based.
I've done factory resets, Dalvik, Cache, reflash, new modem, reduced volume, and everything else I can think of. Flashing back to a non-MIUI resolves the problem, and re-flashing MIUI brings it back every time.
I've found a couple of threads asking about this problem, but nobody has every given a suggested solution (other than reset, reflash, modem).
Has anyone here experienced this or found a solutions?
Cheers,
Jason
AW: [Q] Badly clipped voice audio running MIUI based roms
Had exactlythe same problem, tried different MIUI versions, different modems etc. Call audio on ALL Samsung based MIUI was terrible, it worked only well on MIUI polimorph (which is AOSP/CM based). But on this MIUI I had issues with Bluetooth...
I read somewhere that this problem may occur when you come from stock Samsung Jellybean ROM and then flash a Jeallybean MIUI. So I tried following:
1. Download a ICS Stock Samsung ROM (for example 4.0.4) - important: complete ROM with PDA, Modem & CSC)
2. Flash ICS ROM with ODIN -- warning: all your data on internal SD will be erased!
3. Boot into your ICS Stock Samsung ROM (just to check call audio, should be fine...)
4. Flash CWM
5. Restart phone into CWM and flash your MIUI
6. Wipe data/factory reset
7. Restart & boot your MIUI. In case you got stuck while booting into MIUI do another full wipe data/cache in CWM. Then booting into MIUI should work fine.
!!! Attention: ALL YOUR DATA ON INTERNAL SD ARE ERASED WITH THIS METHOD !!! Be sure to copy your data, backups etc. to external SD or to your PC/laptop !!!
This was the solution I found after 1,5 weeks trying and reading and trying etc... Hope this works for you also!
Btw: be very careful doing this - there is always a risk of bricking your phone! Read carefully all about flashing with ODIN! Good luck...
Brilliant, thanks for the lengthy response!
The main thing I was wanting was an acknowledgement that someone had experienced and been able to overcome the problem, and you've included a description of exactly how you did it too.
Thank you very much for the help, and I'll post back in here if this works for me too in case others have the same problem.
I'd love to know which part of this process actually resolves the issue. I wonder what aspect of the JB ROM is not erased or overwritten by the MIUI installer.
AW: [Q] Badly clipped voice audio running MIUI based roms
You're welcome mate!
I'm also wondering WHY this helped, but it did... I only read somewhere in the forums that all the Bluetooth and WiFi issues on CM 10.1 only happen when flashing from a JB Samsung ROM, and everything is ok when coming from an ICS ROM. So I thought it is worth the try...
And I'm really happy now that I can use my beloved MIUI (Sammy-based MIUI-India) on my SGS3
Wow, what a grind this was to implement.
OK, so I...
1. Odin installed 4.0.4 and reset
2. Flashed MIUI m0, same problem
3. Odin installed 4.0.4 again, reset
4. Made a call, no audio at all
5. Factory reset again
6. Made a call, receive audio only, no send
7. Factory reset again
8. Reflashed MIUI m0
9. Made a call, no audio
10. Flashed modem DUELL2
11. Audio works!
12. FlashedMIUI India
Finally, MIUI and working audio!
You'd think from this list that flashing the new modem would have fixed the original issue, but I'd already tried this several times with no luck.
I'm guessing there is something in the 4.0.4 roms that is set in the flash related to a hardware codec. It may be that in JB the values are modified, and once it's been changed MIUI doesn't have any means of resetting it, during installation or subsequent booting.
Now I've wasted many hours on this, but at least I can go home happy
AW: [Q] Badly clipped voice audio running MIUI based roms
Really much work, but finally you got it working! Congrats!
Yes, I know, only flashing different modems without flashing ICS before won't help with this weird MIUI audio issue... Can't remember all the modems I tried, but tried many...
im helping my wife. and i got the problem described below.
When making or receiving phone calls from my
s3 some strange noise starts happening and
won’t stop, resulting in me or the person I am
talking to having to hang up an make the call
again. I have tried new modem. resetting back to stock. flashed new build. reinstalling the
operating system from the built in function and am still experiencing the problem.
If you've already factory reset and flashed a fresh stock 4.1.2 rom for your country then it can only be a hardware fault.
Maybe worth trying a mega wipe script first?

already done that. viber and skype works perfect. and also the built in internet call service.
so i think it must be something else like operator(3 sweden) or something as i didnt have this issue a year ago. it started with the lastest update.
