Hello everyone, I hope you guys can shed some light on my problem, I would really appreciate it. I searched the forum and found a workaround for the IMEI problem that did not work for me. And I found nothing regarding the loud noise during calls. So I decided to post to get some help.
Problem 1
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000B from Brazil unlocked from the store. Three days ago I decided to update my system (2.2) to the CM10.0.0 (4.1.2). After much sweat and hassle I discovered how do it properly with the right files. So, I flashed 2.3.3 and then CM10 and it seemed to work properly until I found out my IMEI had been corrupted. I tried the solution I found but it didn't work because on step #5 I don't find the file named ".nv_data", just "nv_data.bin.md5". I tried copying just the other but in the end it doesn't change my IMEI back. I still have a generic IMEI but it is not affecting the signal of my phone, I can still make and receive calls, but I would like to get it properly working. When I flash android 2.2 it restores my IMEI.
Problem 2
My other problem is that I keep getting these really loud and intermittent scratch noises during calls after flashing CM10. Right now I am using a dutch SIM for I live in the netherlands. Maybe that is important to mention. But I had been using android 2.2 here all along with no problems. After CM10 I get these sudden short bursts of noise during my calls. The other person can barely hear it but I hear it loudly. It's really annoying. I have no idea what is causing it or how I can fix it.
Can you guys help me out with this one?!
Thank you,
Henry
Why don't you try another rom and see if the issue persists?

Do you mean another version of the CM10? Is there antoher version of it? On android 2.2 and 2.3.3 it was working flawlessly. I don't know what happened to the calls with this noise.
On the other hand, I know the IMEI problem is because of the ROM for sure. Just don't know how to fix it.

I'm sure there is more than one, yes. Why don't you post this in the galaxy forums where you'll grab the attention of users with the same phone?

I tried searching for it and surprisingly did not find. Found s4, s3, s2, ace and so on, but not galaxy s. I thought it was quite tricky finding the right place, maybe I was looking in the wrong one?

Are you using any custom rom? It can be a problem in the rom

lighting rom, but i believe this issue was said to have started before, however i could be wrong!
just grabbed my next door neighbour and did 2 way test, i walked around the block on his 7 year phone and he sounded muffled on mine - went back to my phone and he was having trouble making me out but sound clear to me - bollocks!
guess i better flash stock back again.

This is exactly what happens to me!!!
I suddenly start sounding muffled...
when my wife goes out of town...
and I go on a drinking rampage.
But then she comes back, and everything is back to normal.
Sorry OP, for makign a joke here. Yeah like others said, try factory reset and then restore factory firmware.
Some ppl claim that this happens when u r using a case cover blocking the mic for noise reduction. Try using it without and see if this solves the problem!!
Hope this helps!!

With the phone itself. It seems to be a certain location your mouth is to the mic just causes muffled sound. And the noise cancellation seems to be part of the issue, doesn't work correctly. So turning it off sometimes helps.
well i called O2, and they are swapping me a brand new one tomorrow, as i have had one month!, ordered on 25th May and called yesterday being 25th June.
they are bring me one to my house - that is service!
i did try flashing stock rom, but no difference, tested my mates and his sounds fine, pretty sure there is an issue. oh well a new one will do!
I had this problem on the 23.03 as well, but didn't notice until this morning when I tried to make a very important business call from work
Much to my dissapointment I cannot make any phone calls using Hydrogen-23.03
So I updated to 25.03 since it is out now
Same problem
After some quick re-flashing and testing I find the problem is to do with the screen density....
When the phone is set for mdpi (160) the com.android.phone app force closes as soon as you hit the 'call' button
I have to keep the phone set at standard yucky 240dpi to make any phone calls
I have tried doing the factory data wipe, plus tried wiping the dalvik cache.. also tried deleting the data of Phone app... nothing seems to make it work at 160dpi
It's a known bug on AOKP that the dialer will crash upon making or receiving calls if the DPI is set below 182. Just set it to that and you should be fine.
No idea if a fix is already in the pipeline.

Will I have any Market issues at 182? I used to choose 160 because it's a standard option, I assumed it might be more compatible and now I've kinda gotten used to it.... I will try 182 though, because I really want to run Hydrogen (today I flashed FoxHound 7.0 and it's nice and I like the apex launcher, but Hydrogen was just so cool with its AOKP awesomeness and the ROM Control menu is great, plus it's a very cut-down ROM which I prefer because so far I can't get any good battery life from my SGS2
Thanks for the reply!
Yes, using 182 will cause compatibility issues since it's a non standard resolution, but you can get around it with LCD density modder pro.

Phone bricked?
Hi, first post, hopefully at the right place.
I've just installed HyDrOG3NICS. Unfortunately, it seems to have bricked my SII.
I get a black screen, that's all. No recovery mode, no download mode, nothing.
Is there anything I can do to get back either the recovery or the download mode?
Thx a lot

You have a blank profile, and you only state you have an "SII".
Check what model of SII you have. It will be on the label under the battery.
US carriers all carry a completely different model of SII than what this forum is for (GT-I9100). If you have an American carrier model of SII, you are in the wrong place, and flashed a firmware that wasn't meant for your phone, and may have completely borked it.
Hi thought I'd post this hear. Unable to receive and send picture messages since I flashed the from. Quite new to all this so I've probably done something wrong!
Also how do you change the dpi?
Thanks

You need to be rooted to do this. From what I can tell, HyDrOG3N-ICS 25.03 is NOT rooted unless you root after installing it.
Also, it's pretty rude to hijack threads, unless you are having the same problem the OP of the thread is having. That applies to both you and soho123.
Yikes! Apologies for offending you!
Only posted it in this one as it was linked to the same ROM!
I'll try not to be so rude in future.
But thanks for the reply anyway.

Doesn't offend me. But it goes against one of the forum rules. (off-topic posting)
It may be the same ROM, but it's a totally different problem.

if you flashed the HyDrOG3N-ICS 25.03 rom you can change them through
settings>>Rom Control >>General UI >> LCD Density.
It will be set to 240 by default. do not change it unless you know what you are doing.. anything less then 182 causes issues with market and phone app on the AOKP rom which HyDrOG3N-ICS is based on
Thanks nomi.
I'll read into it a bit more before i do anything. Curiosity gets the better of me when I read so many posts about tweeks and features.
ctomgee, point taken. I'll try not break anymore rules. Thanks for heads up.

Sounds off topic, but if when you say "it should work shouldn't it", you are talking about the HyDrOG3N-ICS ROM, then yes, it should work. Unless you didn't follow the installation instructions exactly.
Hard bricked, so your phone does not react with the battery in and any button presses at all?
Hi guys.
I know, I'm a noob. I already tried to find something about my problem but I couldn't find nothing.
I would know if it is a hardware or software problem because if it is a hardware problem and I can't solve I send my phone to the warranty, but maybe I can solve this problem with the help of someone.
The problem is the camera focus: it doesn't work.
I have attached some photos that I have took some minutes ago.
Android's version is 4.0.3 but I think that isn't a firmware problem because I had before cyanogen nightly builds and I had the same problem. The phone didn't fall to the ground.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks of all.

I have flashed the kernel Siyah just now but nothing, the problem there is still present.
I don't understand if the focus is hardware or software.
Is there something that I can do? Am I alone with this problem? Is very strange.
EDIT: when I had cyanogenmod 9+syiah on my phone I already had this problem, I forgot when it appened first time.
Autofocus -> hardware.
Its the kernel
hi, same here.
solved the issue using sylah 3.3.3 old kernel.
I suppose it's related to the newest kernels + 4.04.
using the old one seem to solve the issue .
now I reverted back to 4.03 until someone solve this. dream kernel states they did but doesn't seem to work.

I found a guy with the same problem. He said me that probably is the "mini-engine" of the focus that doesn't work.
Now my question is: how long could samsung assistance be to fix it? One month?
Because I am seriously thinking to buy the back camera and fix it myself.
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 con Tapatalk 2
Im not sure if you can find one as they are scarce.A guy on here said he seen them for $120.I only saw one supplier selling for around $60,but they had no stock.
If you send your phone to Samsung it would have to be running stock firmware and they could have it for 1-10 weeks.
I have a spare camera here.I want to keep it,but if you are desperate I could sell it to you......

I ma interested but depends by the cost. I found one, new, for about 40€.
If you can get a new one for that price then buy it.You could email Samsung and ask what theyd charge to do the job so you get an accurate price.

Hi all,
I have tried around 5 different ROMs and I keep coming across this problem. The recipients of the call can hear me but nothing looks to be happening my end, no calling beeps or ringing tones.
any ideas? Is it something simple like a kernel issue or radio?
I am currently using SlimBean 3 and stock radio/kernel that comes with it.

The person I am call than can no longer here me. I am able to get the microphone to work again if I put it into speaker phone Mode and than back to headset mode. Does anybody know what is wrong?

Didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Might recommend a factory reset to her and if that doesn't resolve it, maybe a hardware swap.
I was going to say that aosp is the problem then someone is having same issues with stock, hmm weird on the stock one, as I know the others have the call bug.
Have you guys tried a different kernel or modem?

Yah I have had the same problem on both hyperdrive and slim bean. I have also tried both stock and kt kernel. I did upgrade the modem. I cant remember if I had the same problemon the release modem. Could it be a modem problem? Didn't think of that because it seemed like a microphone issue
I've been having issues on stock also. Its usually when I'm on the phone and sometimes it'll cut out on me and I can't really hear what the person on the other end is saying.

Cuts out
If you turn off the proximity ssensor, the dialpad stays on. When your cheek touches it, the phone will mute, end call, etc.
