Can't hear people on the headset - Streak 5 General

I've been having this problem where I can't hear anyone on the handset. When the person answers the call, I can hear maybe two or three seconds worth, but it's completely garbled and broken up, as though I'm in a bad reception area, and then it goes silent. But I can hear them perfectly fine if I switch to speakerphone or use the handsfree headset! The people on the other side can hear me too.
It all started a few days ago. I had just installed the Phoenix kernel for MIUI. It was working fine for a while, and then all of a sudden this started happening. At first I thought maybe it was something to do with the Phoenix kernel, so I just reflashed MIUI. No factory reset yet. Just wanted the original kernel back. Still the same. So then I thought maybe I'll try a different ROM altogether and went to CM7. Same problem. Finally, I put in a stock recovery and went to stock 407. Same problem there as well!! DSC v1.0, same problem!! Now I'm back to CM7, and yes, same problem! Not sure what else I can try. I seriously hope it's not some hardware issue. Any suggestions as to what to try next would be appreciated!

Loosing all sound?

Anyone had this yet? Basically after flashing EVERY version of Damages 2.1 roms and Flipz 2.0d, I seem to have this odd issue where I loose all sound input and output. I noticed first when I was using Flipz, but a wipe and flash of DC 2.05 did the same thing. Weirdest part is, that it's fine for a while after a reboot, then suddenly happens and won't work until another reboot. My only thought is for some sort of software conflict or something, but right now my Hero is basically unusable as a phone since noone can hear me and I can't hear them.
Thoughts? Lil Help?

I have the exact same issue. Very strange and rare. So the occasional reboot fixes it but annoying at times.

I have come across the same today on the 2.05 revision. It started this afternoon, since I have had to reboot 5 times. The latest was only about an hour or so apart. When I make calls, I do not hear any sound, no ring tone, not the other person. Also adjusting the ring volume with the volume keys does not make any sounds. Even on my bluetooth headset I do not get any sound. No rings on incoming calls, no speaker phone ... absolutely nothing. This has become a huge issue an I'm going back to my 1.5 image at this point.
Actually, reading through threads about both ROMS, I'd say there are quite a few people starting to encounter this problem...has anyone with this issue gone back to 1.5 to see if it goes away then?
S
just a note, the people on the other end when making a call can't hear anything either but the call does go through. i had to use the g/f BB to call and my buddy thought it was his phone. I'm so mad because I thought this was a done deal but looks like I gotta go back to 1.5
+1 same issue on Fresh 2.0d
When it happened it affected incoming and outgoing calls, earpiece, speakerphone, microphone -- the works. Person on other end could not hear anything either. Fixed with reboot.
me and my coworker both have this issue with our heroes, he couldn't stand it and went back to fresh 1.1 and it went away
I still get the issue once a day, full reboot solves the issue.
I cant seem to pinpoint when it happens, it just happens.
it started with the first fresh 2.0 and then continued with every 2.1 i have tried
i couldn't find a post in this forum relating to a fix for this, unless someone can prove me me wrong and i hope someone does
+1 same issue on Fresh 2.0d and DCv1
Same as others, a reboot will fix it but by that point you just missed a call.
Or if the sound goes out you might miss a few calls from not being able to hear the phone ring.
yes it is a very large issue. im about to run some tests and i will find out what causes it. hopefully i will have a solution tonight for everyone but its going to be hard.
also the issue effects all sound on the phone and pegs the cpu pretty bad. you cant adjust sound lvls or hear anything from either speaker at all.
im afraid the problem will lie in the boot.img with a driver for sound. because dc2.0r2 did have this issue and also has an incomplete boot.img we may have to deal with no trackball. anyways ill report back asap

Thanks. You're speaking greek to me as far as the boot.img and all that but if you have an idea of what's going on I'm all ears on fixing it. If there is any sort of info we can provide just let us know.
Im here to help as well, If you need any testers I am willing to do what ever is needed! Anything to fix this problem!

[Q] Voice call - cannot hear person calling and they can't hear me

I recently installed CM 10.1 on a Defy+.
For some reason - if I call someone (or they call me) - they cannot hear me, and I cannot hear them. Even if I put on the loudspeaker I still cannot hear them.
Phone is working normal apart from that, speaker seems to work fine so not convinced it is a hardware issue.
Only happened after flashing the ROM. It *was* working for some time. Any ideas what could have caused this? From reading about CM on other phones, people recommend flashing different kernels. Any ideas which kernel to flash?
Thanks.
Ok looks like this is an issue with BlueTooth being on. I turned it off and it worked fine.
Seems to be an issue with all CM 10.x that I was unaware of. I flashed this ROM on my wifes Defy+ to improve the speed and reliabilty of her phone. Needless to say she is not happy.
Maybe I should have flashed 7.2??

I guess 7.2 is good and stable enough for a non power user. That bug is known and it's not yet fixed.
Like @hotdog125 said, it's a known bug, and happens sometimes even when bluetooth is not used at all. I never use bluetooth and it happens to me quite often; rebooting your phone fixes the problem.

[Resolved] No Audio in calls

Ok I'm not a complete newb but I can't figure this out and its been driving me nuts for over a week now...
SGH-1337M (Rogers)
Up until last week I'd been running the nightly builds of CyanogenMod and loving it, the phone was fast had lots of functionality then I did a nightly upgrade and my phone stopped working. Incoming calls would ring but when I picked up the call I couldn't hear the caller and they couldn't hear me. After much frustration I ended up flashing back to stock. This fixed the problem but the phone was useless as far as I was concerned for everything but making phone calls. It was laggy, I couldn't listen to music (it was staticy) and just generally full of all of the extraneous crud that Rogers seemed to think I should have on my phone. (I honestly couldn't suggest the phone to anyone who was going to run it as a stock device if this was how it came out of the box!)
Now On Sunday I decided to try again and after setting everything back to defaults I reloaded Cyanogen and at first it seemed that things were working properly... until last night. Again I got a call and when I answered it there was no audio.
I can't figure it out, I'm running the correct radio now after flashing to stock (I337MVLUAMG1) but I just can't seem to get it to work and stay working. Besides Cyanogen I'm only running two other "root" apps Fantastic audio installer and AdAway.
Any suggestions would be great, I just can't go back to stock on this phone...
Any ideas?
I think I have the problem figured out...
Seems like it was a combination of a bad build of CM and the "Fantastic Audio Installer"
Beware of compatibility issues with apps like this...

[Q]i9505 periodic no sound and mic problem

Hello,
i've found some threads here with similar problems but they all were a result of wrong baseband used after a custom rom installation.
BUT i bought a i9505 with stock 4.4.2 TW rom UGNG8 (not rooted). At some point i noticed that the phone loses sound and mic completly. Sometimes can take a call but with no sound, neather can the caller hear me, no sound from music/video player and no system sounds eather(not even with headphones plugged in). Everything goes back to normal after a reboot.
I figured it was an outdated baseband so i rooted the device, updated the baseband to the latest (UGNK4) and installed CM12. But the problem is still here. At random times the device loses all sound and only a reboot fixes it
Haven't been able to reproduce the exact moment when it happen as it seem to be completly random (gets really anoying when i need to take an important call and there is no sound )
I could really use some help with this
Cheers,
H.
Rule of thumb: If it happens across multiple roms then it is most probably a hardware issue.
I'd suggest flashing the stock rom back and see if it helps.
Make sure it's the stock rom for the country where the phone was initially bought.
For instance: If the phone was bought from Germany but you're using it in England, it is still a German version of the S4 and therefor needs the German version.

thanks for the reply, i will try the stock firmware, maybe i missed something in the process earlier, and post back the results.
cheers,
H.
Fixed!
ok, after a lot of trial and error i narrowed it down to a hardware issue. The headphone jack was the thing making all the problems. i tried cleaning it but it didnt help, so i removed it. Device works flawless now. Already ordered a new jack. :good:
So to anyone having a similar issue -replacing (or just removing) the headphone jack does the trick.
Cheers,

An Odyssey to make a Sprint GS4 work properly

Hi and greetings from Greece,
I've got a big problem with an unlocked Sprint SG4 NG2 , I've tried numerous ROMs and I cannot get it to work properly with networks in Greece.
When I first got it, it worked like a charm with its stock ROM but a few weeks later it was losing the sound and mic, with restarting it fixed that issue but needed many restarts per day.
So I flashed it with an excellent Russian MIUI ROM to find sound was also going off and on randomly...
I then flashed it with a few ROMs of JDC Team and later on a few CM ROMS to find the same sound and mic issue, while almost in every ROM at first it worked like a charm.
Now it is on CM12.1. At first I couldn't get incoming calls, but everything else worked fine including the sound and mic, tested it for a few days no issues on the sound, I was thinking I will definitely solve this problem finally!
I finally applied the fix from the no incoming calls thread but now again its losing the sound, usually in the morning and noon, not at night (weird!).
Is there anything I can do to make it work? Does anyone has experience with this issue on a NG2? Will if I flashed it with another radio solve this problem?
Please reply here or pm me! Thanks alot!
