In Call issues - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody, I have a GT-I9300 that I have bought from China. I have been running Slim ROM for a while and this weird issue appeared: When I call someone or someone calls me I cannot hear anything and the other side can't hear me. I would like to note that Skype and viber work just fine.
I have tried the following:
1. Changing to Omega ROM.
2. Flashing new firmware that got my efs folder unreadable.
3. Flashing couple more firmwares until I got my imei back.
4. Flashing modems and cscs for my country.
5. Random settings that people on the net recommended changing.
At this moment I am still stuck with this in Call issue. Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] No phone/sms, data ok and IMEI ok

Hello,
After searching about 10 pages & search engine i haven't find exactly same problem as mine but i think i'm not the only one who had this problem...
I saw that all guys having same problem as me have an IMEI problem with a file on /efs, which is not my case for the IMEI
Problem : no phone, no sms, all data is OK. is someone calls me it rings busy.
Here's what i tried
- My SIM on another S2 = everything OK, the other S2 sim on my phone gives same problem.
- Many ROMs official or non official (also a release using pit+pda+phone+csc), without solving my problem
- Using the appli GSII_Repair but i can' t download (message appears 2mins after click on install, from PC or from market)
- Phone is operator free and with no signal problem.
- At the moment i just put an official rom (nothing more) with baseband i9100xxki3, kernel 2.6.35.[email protected] #2, Version number gingerbread.xxki3. Network State=Connected, IMEI= same as behind battery, IMEISV=01
I bought the phone to someone living 150km from me and when i wanted to test it...i locked my SIM (and no puk code with me) so i bought it for not having done the 300km for nothing...and i can't use it since a week i'm trying & reading things everywhere on the net but i think here is the best place, great members, great place, and great roms i used on my HD2 before the USB connector broke. The guy to wich i bought the phone kept it a month and have no idea to what has been done the phone
So help needed....Thanks

Have you already tried to do a factory reset?
Shut down the phone, reboot into recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power, hold the keys until the recovery menu appears), choose factory reset and then reboot the phone.
If that does not help, you could try to flash a newer stock ROM, such as XWKJ3.
Have a look at Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
If that does not help either, it could be a hardware issue.
Hope that it is not.
Good luck !
I already have done both, and i just have done the 2 things again just in cas
Factory reset => still having problem
XWKJ3 => i'm getting permanently a message like com.android.phone crashed, i now remember why i changed for an older ROM
Sounds like flashing many roms syndrome .
Also the no no of using PIT files .
Suggestion
Download full stock rom .
Backup all data .
Go to recovery Mounts and storage Format > Cache System Data > SD Card .
No boot now clean empty phone .
Download mode and via Odin flash stock rom .
Test if still faulty return under warranty .

I dont want to be a negative ned and throw a spanner in the works here but if the IMEI is intact and the phone was bought second hand(and no offence with what im about to say) but is it possible that the IMEI has been blocked cos yourve unknowingly bought a stolen phoneIt just seems strange that only calls and sms are blocked with the IMEI no being changed.Sorry if ive miss understood the question.No offence intended.

[Q] Network getting hanged in S2

Hello all,
I am facing a problem with my S2(bought 1.5 yrs ago)...
I rooted my handset and installed RootBox rom. After a while I started facing a problem like, my handset would be functioning properly but, if someone would try calling me he would get the message that the number is switched off and I would not be able to make a call or send any message either. I would have restart my handset after which it would start recieving and calling.
This problem could happen anytime.
So, yesterday I flashed official samsung ICS rom(with Siyah kernal) but today I just faced the problem again.
I am not able to understand whether it is due to some hardware problem or it is a software issue.
Please if anyone knows anyting about this type of issue it would be of much help.
Thanks
Flash the leaked 3 part JB firmware via Odin. And do a factory reset. That should give you a pretty clean slate to start troubleshooting. Then see if the issue persists. If it does, off to the Service Centre.

[Q] Cannot make phone calls/ send text messages / use data.

My friend asked me to look at this phone that was softbricked and kept going to CWM recovery everytime it was booted. I updated the CWM to the latest touch version via ODIN then formatted the phone clean. :good: Then I flashed 4.3.1 stable AOKP ROM and the GApps. It was fine, everything else was working. I connected the wi-fi, used bluetooth, signed into google account everything was normal and stable.:highfive: But then I tried calling and it said "no mobile network". Tried sending a text, could not. I went in and searched for network signals then registered to the correct(I AM SURE!) one.:silly: Still no luck. Then I let it choose automatically. Nothing. Then I thought maybe installing another ROM will somehow fix it and flashed CyanogenMod 10.2 stable. Still no luck. I searched around for a flashable radio but could not decide if that would fix it because as far as I am aware if the radio wasn't working no wireless connectivity should've been either.
The phone is Samsung Galaxy S III GTI9300 white 16GB (unlocked) and has been here in Nepal with Nepal Telecom Sim since it was bought. I have no Idea how the soft brick happened but I think this guy tried to manually update the phone with a stock firmware during which some **** must've happened.
Can you guys please let me know if this could be fixed?
Any help would be highly appreciated.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
There are hundreds of identical threads, search and read about efs and imei issues.

Galaxy S II SGH-I777 CALLPHONES PROBLEMS

I NEED HELP MY DEAR FRIENDS!
i found your post about the Permanently Fix SGS2 Echo and Digital Noise Reduction, and i want to know if you can help me to detect some issues and problems that i have with this model, the Galaxy S II SGH-I777 sold by Straight Talk tracfone, they never update the cellphone.
Im from México, and i unlock the cellphone, to use it you to need to change the Stock Rom, a gingerbread 2.3.6 to an custom rom, you can find several AT&T SII SGH-I777 custom roms on the network. I was testing severals, all the cyanogen mods, in the nightly, experimental, stable version with different android versions, the touchwiz samsung custom roms, paranoid android, whatever. And i have the same problem, i can`t use the phone calls, i was thinking that i need to change the modem to find the correct files to use it in México.
But i have signal, i can call, i can receive calls and make them, but i can`t hear nothing and the people in the other side, they can`t hear me, i test Bluetooth headphones with mic, earphones, the internal speakers, but nothing change. At last, i tried to use the Digital Noise Reduction/Cancellation, and i think that i can resolve all the stuff if i use the samsung codes to enter to the ServiceMode Menu, i tried to select the audio options on the Main Menu, but surprisingly, the Audio Menu, it's inaccessible, or do not exist.
I was searching something about that, i some users said in their post that Samsung block the Audio Menu, but i don't nothing about that for real.
So, i wanna know if you fix in the past something similar to this problem. I was thinking that i need to replace the whole Earpiece Speaker Earphone Jack Flex Cable of the Samsung Galaxy S II I777. i don't know if It's is a software problem because i re-install the stock rom via odin, with the original modem, pit and kernel files. The audio files to configure the ServiceMode are installed i a different partition, or why can't re-install all the real options?
My question is, that if the Earphone Jack Flex Cable do not work properly, the Audio options in the ServiceMode it's been made affected by this issue or the stock rom comes with this limitations? How can i do my friend?
No need to double-post your question, friend, it's more likely to get answered in only one place.
Regarding your issue, what rom are you on now? You said you've flashed a lot of roms, including Samsung ones; those stock-based roms flash their own modems, so it's possible the modern you have now isn't compatible with your device.
Look in the System Settings>About Phone and tell is what rom/modern/kernel you have.

[Q] weird call-related problem with CM11

Hi all,
I own an i9100T device. I know that basically the roms are compatible between i9100 and i9100T, but I'm just pointing that out as my question is related to calling.
Sorry for posting this CM11 related issue here, but apparently I can't post to the discussion in the dev forum yet.
I tried to flash CM11 latest nightly this Friday, the installation was okay and so the booting afterwards and the installation of the apps, but for some weird problem, I simply can't make any phone calls.
After dialing, I simply see the call window pop up and simply stay there without any call initialization (I've checked that with a friend) or any calling sound.
I must say that data is working (I can send and receive whatsapp messages for example), wifi is working and I receive signal from the network (I also tried to flash another modem, no good).
I don't know anything about regular SMS messages, haven't tried that.
I've tried to flash CM10.2 back then and had the same problem, and reverted back to stock.Thought it's just a glitch which will be fixed in the future, but it seems to appear in CM11 as well.
Thanks in advance,
A.
