Earpiece is kinda not working - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone
So I have a sgs3 i9300 and i have a problem (curently im running aokp (android 4.4) but this problem was also before i flashed aokp on this device)
So now onto the problem; aproximately 1 out of 10 calls has this weird noise when the person thats calling me is talking.....it sounds like im talking to an alien
Ofcourse my first thought is that my earpiece needs to be replaced but i just want to know has this happened to any1 of you guys? And also can i replace the earpiece myself and how much would it cost
Tnx 4 the help

Blame the software. If you flash back to stock everything will work fine again.

But i had the same problem at stock

Run the factory test mode. *#0*#? Test within that.

[Q] A very particular issue .. [RezROM S4] [X70]

I, just yesterday, obtained S-OFF.. after reading up on the instructions thread for a while on several different days, I felt confident I'd do it fine... and I did, on 2nd try
Anyways, when I returned to Newts One XxX rom, the internal AND external SD storage were broken, and tried and failed many times to fix them both, I believe I had a broken installation of Busybox (in Newts OneXxX rom? like baked-in? idk)
So after a few ROMs I tried, I finally got one to boot, RezROM S4....
Everything is working PERFECTLY and I'm glad I finally have a stable set up.. HOWEVER there is ONE little issue... :l
If I do anything sound-related, where the sound would come out of the speaker on the phone (the back one, not the ear piece speaker), the phone immediately hangs and restarts....
I noticed when I was attempting to change the ringer volume, I heard nothing, and when the volume popup went away, it went to black and restarted... I tried to check a voicemail, got to where I need to enter my VM password (earpiece speaker works fine) and I hit the first 2 numbers and it froze on the second (and made no noise...)
Anyone know what's going on?? I DID search the RezROM S4 thread before this, but I couldn't find anything relevant... And I'm under 10 posts I think, so I can't post in the thread just yet...
Thanks for the help, folks!
~sidenote~ : I was driving home last night at about 1AM from a neighboring town (15min away), and my phone was in a (non working, boot/hang) state, AND GUESS WHO RAN OUT OF GAS.
EDIT: I can't fathom what the problem is :/ ... I think I'm gonna wait until Newt releases his new OneXxX build, flash it and flash the MMS fix and hope that works out okay. I just want a stable Sense 4 rom lol. Sorry I just realized what I said
Sounds like you need to flash the old firmware patch. I'm guessing you were on gb?

No I bought the phone from a man who had an older ICS firmware installed, he had the pre-rooted OTA leak (4.0.3 / Sense 3.6 ), then I updated to the very newest FW 3.11.605.22 , and installed Newts OneXxX which worked like a charm.
Then I S-OFFed and installed RezROM S4 ... :/ That's where I'm at now.

Call Sound Issue

I posted a thread yesterday about how when i made a call the person on the other line couldn't hear me but i could hear them, when someone called me i could hear them but they couldn't hear me, i resigned myself to the fact that i would have to bring it in for repair as it was a hardware issue, flashed the 3 Ireland stock ROM, decided to try once more, made a test call and the person could hear me, got them to call me and i could hear them and vice versa so i put it down so maybe corruption in internal SD card or something.
I rooted again, flashed CheckRom and Franco kernel and set the phone up again as it was, called a friend earlier and he couldn't hear me, got him to call me and i could hear him but he couldn't hear me so im dumbstruck as to what the problem is here, i initially thought it was the microphone which was the problem but then after flashing the 3 Ireland stock ROM no problem, it was only after flashing CheckRom and Franco kernel (which i always use) the problem reappeared, so has anyone any ideas as to what might be causing this, everything else works as normal, texts, Internet,etc it's just calling someone they cant hear me and that's probably the most important thing about having a phone.
Id sooner not bring it into Fonemenders as ive heard some bad reports about this company, it's still under warranty with 3 Ireland and this is the company they use for repairs.
Phone has been fine up to this and i haven't dropped it or anything.
Cheers
84 views - no one got any ideas?
It will be a wrench if i have to stay on the stock ROM for the sound in my calls to work but i am dumbstruck as to how this has happened as it never did previously, is it remotely possible that 3 Ireland may have changed some settings whereas the sound in calls only work with their stock ROM, unlikely i know but im looking to explore all avenues before i bring this in for repairs.
Well posted problem all over the board in custom roms etc for starters .LFB Modem or something like it .

i haven't seen anyone post an issue like this on here yet (unless i missed something)
i am gonna revert back to Stock ROM and test it again, then ill root and flash a kernel and see what happens.
Truly bizzare this is
WORKING AGAIN
Flashed Android Revolution out of curiosity to see what happens, made a call to a friend and he could hear me fine, got him to call me and likewise so im now sure it isn't actually the mic which is faulty it must have something to do with ROM and / or Kernel but im fu*ked if i know what it is as ive been using CheckRom and Franco kernel for a good while now without any issues, isn't there anyone else on here who has had similar issues like this?
I'm just setting up my phone again, i hope this problem doesn't come back.
I have the same problem, only that not only on checkrom... I have tried several other roms and I have the same problem, with an exception... i always hear them and they can't hear me but is not continously... 15-20 seconds is ok then 10-15 they can no longer hear me... this is on checrom v3 with lbf modem... ANY OTHER ROM, kernel or modem no sound what so ever. It seems there are too few of us in order for devs to look into it... unfortunately

FINALLY someone else with the same issue, basically when i call someone i could hear them but they couldnt hear me,when they called i could hear them but they couldn't hear me, the problem appears to have been (hopedully) resolved now ive flashed Android Revolution, ill have to avoid CheckRom which is unfortunate as it's always been my fav ROM but the problem appeared to come back after i flashed back to stock ROM then back to CheckRom,
Hi I have the no sound in call when I remove system apps or freeze apps I was use the unofficial aopk ROM I'm now using the cm10 preview and still have the same problem I've tried loads of different modems with no luck it
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
There are a lot of reports with different roms of the same thing and so far all I've seen have been modem issues. I saw some people said they've tried different ones which seems weird, I'm running Checkrom 3.5 and Siyah kernel 1.4 with the new XXLG8 modem and have no problems. I was using LFB and had issues and LF3 worked as well.
It's definitely not a mic problem is using stock fixes it so don't send it in for repairs, just try some of the newest modems. I hope that helps.

I never previously had a problem running check rom and franco kernel but ive no idea what happened , i do freeze stuff in Titanium Backup but only stuff wgich people have already tested and it's safe to freeze so it's quite baffling what caused this problem but since flashing Android Revolution everything is fine it's a superb ROM too close to stock which is what i want and everything works 100%, ive no real interest in CM10 too many bugs for my liking ill just wait until the official Jelly Bean code is released for the Galaxy S3.

[Q] Cyanogenmod Muted Calls

I see other are having this problem but can't find the solution. I've got the latest Cyanogenmod RC flashed on my VZW Galaxy S4. I've flashed about 10 ROMs and love CM the best. Problem is that sometimes when I receive a call I can hear the other person but they can't hear me. I need to reboot to fix the problem. This is ONLY on CM. Like I said, I've flashed many roms and haven't had the problem. Has anyone seen a solution out there?

I sometimes got that bug too, yet for me it was that somehow the mute button got activated, so no need to reboot
Still i dont know if i did it with my cheeck or its the said CM bug^^

It's definitely not the mute button. It's so strange. Only on CM! Nightlies and now with the RC. I was so excited for RC, cause I figured this wouldn't happen but it still is. Had to reboot twice today.
Frustrated
I have the same problem. I am on ME7, rooted only. Working with vzw to diagnose it. I think its going to become more common and will need a replacement.

Anyone have any idea or know somethig about it? I will appreciate any help.
Thanks.

If you want you can try the att jb or hybrid att mako modem and see if it fixes it. Just flash in recovery.
Hi, I did try, with the hybrid att I didnĀ“t signal, maybe is... because I live in El Salvador, with the jb was flasehd good, but the problem persist, only I can talk in loud speaker....

Im sorry, I was seek, and about the question, I charge my phone with the original Batery charger and the correct volt I Think.
I'm having a similar problem with my AT&T LG Optimus G. I had been running the phone on houstonn's RootBox 7-20-2013 (4.2.2) build and most things worked alright (problems like NFC not working, randomizing Wifi MAC address on each boot, and poor battery life). Last night I tried flashing the latest Paranoid Android ROM 4.3.1 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228880 ) and everything seemed to work much better. NFC worked, Wifi MAC address would stay constant on reboots, and "Android OS" didn't use more power than the display. I just found out, though, that the mic and earpiece don't work during calls (though you can hear keytones when you dial a number during a call). When you put it on speaker or plug in a headset, then the mic works. I've tried wiping, reflashing, and updating the modem to 20j. Any idea how to fix this problem for 4.3.1?
A note: the phone had had the Nexus 4 conversion done to it previously and I returned it to stock before rerooting and flashing these roms. I think the Nexus 4 conversion messed with some of the advanced settings and they haven't been restored properly (hence the random Wifi MAC).

I have the same issue on my E970 on every single 10.2 based roms i have tried.. only speaker mode works on calls (or else headpones)
the in phone ear piece doesnt work at all..
anyone know of a fix for this.
btw im on T-mobile if thats the reason this is broken
If software mods do not fix the issue, you will need to replace the charge port flex. The microphone for normal calls is at the bottom of the phone right next to the charge port. It is an easy fix once you get it open and taken apart. I have done a few already.
I had some problems after flashing slimkat
I just flashed to the slimkat alpha rom and had some issues with the front faceing speaker. So i woud have to take my calls on loud speaker. I found a hybrid radio trying to get LTE working on tmobile and found that my issue was fixed after i flashed that hybrid radio. It may help.

I will try all solutions and I will see which one works, many thanks and I will let u know what happend.

It is a hardware failure. The same thing happened to my girlfriend's LG G2 after a couple weeks and we had to return it. The second G2 she got has worked fine ever since.
But hey, that's the G2, not the Optimus G, so it maybe different. I've just noticed more than the normal amount of hardware failures on some LG models. My first LG Optimus G didn't get LTE, and (long story) after accidentally having the phone fall off the top of my car and shattering the back gorilla glass into a million pieces, I bought another LG Optimus G. The _second_ LGOG did get LTE right out of the box! Go figure! Same exact model, same carrier, even the same SIM. So there was obviously something wrong with the LTE radio of the first one right when I got it (I never returned it because I never actually read the specs to find I was supposed to be getting LTE all along, lol).
Fixed

LTEHybrid33-54.zip solved this for me. Sorry, no link, but I found it here somewhere. I suspect the 33-84 one would work as well. It was like magic, after I was thinking I got screwed by LG again (don't ask about the G2x/P999).

[Q] The I9300 microphone.

There has been similar but not exact posts to this. The issue is the serious lack of sensitivity change with the S3's mic. Recording a video for example, is a nightmare. The sound quality is garbage and always has been with all galaxy models. My first Samsung Galaxy S phone i had, had a firmware hack where VoodooSound could control the sensitivity of the microphone and it went from awful to perfect!! Is there anything similar i can do with my phone? The mic is just way too sensitive and just cracks the f*ck up in any situation louder than conversation volume.
Currently running CWM 6+/Cyanogen Mod. All up to date.
Any help and information would be greatly accepted.
Cheers guys!

Given you're running cyanogenmod, I would say that might be an issue given all the problems with that on the s3

It's really not. The microphone issue is exactly the same with or without the mod.
