Greetings my nexus brothers.
I post here today to inquire of a strange phenomenon that has befallen my device.
You see, when I try to make calls... I don't hear anything from the earpiece unless i plug in my headphones.
But before you jump to conclusions, I too thought it was a simple earpiece hardware failure however, when I made calls through the vonage app the sound came through the earpiece like normal.
I am currently running the device on android 4.2.2 with the ParanoidAndroid rom and mako kernel.
Does any of you have a clue as to what might be the issue?

did you update your radio? you cant use the old one with 4.2.2 roms. you absolutely must update to the 4.2.2 radio.

you are absolutely right when it comes to the older 33 radio. but ive had a few people report that the even older 27 radio is working with 4.2.2 roms. i havent tried, so i cant confirm it myself.
It seems strange however, that a radio problem would cause an earpiece issue... because I am still able to make calls, but I cant hear out of the phones earpiece unless i make internet calls
at any rate im going to try to reflash paranoid android and if this doesnt work I will try the radio suggestion

i dont think that its as much a radio issue as it is a driver issue. this started happening when the rest of the 4.2.2 drivers were released last week.

You must be right... I tried reflashing Paranoid Android (Latest Version), Tried the Franco kernal, and flashed the 33 radio img.. but its still the same behavior... phone makes calls but earpeice is silent.
Do you think i should reflash the drivers?

no. try the 27 radio, i hear people have luck with it and 4.2.2 roms. if not, then youll need the 48 radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227

those that had old radios all reported they couldnt make calls anymore. they could not hear the other person speaking. sounds awfully familiar, right? when aosp 4.2.2 was released and the kernel was still 4.2.1 the radio even caused stuff like autobrightness to fail - so you never know how deeply it affects your system.
point is, you just cant use your radio anymore, they're obsolete. some people on xda have suggested that google has deliberately made the 4.2.2 compounds mandatory to make you abandon the lte capable radios. so you basically have the choice now, stay for ever on 4.2.1 or update.

...Yeah I think you make a good point. Damn, and here I was trying to hold out until t-mobile rolled out their LTE so I could finally make use of the LTE chip.
I suppose ill just have to upgrade the radio... I could always go back right?
Well hopefully Google releases a LTE capable, 32 gig Nexus 4 and stops toying with us... lord knows I would give so many things for that.

Well first off my specs are
Radio:2.22.23.02
SPL:1.33.0013
Phone:Mytouch 1.2
Ok so everytime I try and make a call, or someone calls me they complain about how they can barley hear me. They say it sounds like I'm speaking far away from the phone. I Only started getting these problems when i started using 2.1 roms (im currently using cyanongen latest test rom)

Maybe you "oat" a check cyanogen thread and ask there ? Sounds rom related
(sorry for the bad joke could not help it )
tried asking on the other forums but still no answer
hello guys I have a nexus with one gingerbread 2.3.4 and when I use the 3G network after 2-3 minutes the phone restarts. with this bug I can not use Internet
any ideas? Thanks!
Yes. Me to.
What ROM and/or kernel combo you guys using?
I have the stock rom ota gingerbread 2.3.4, nothing changed, full stock. I recently tried miui 1.5.20 the problem is the same. may be a hardware problem?
Does the phone get hot to the touch on the back? Does the phone still reboot if you turn off 3g data and you go exclusivly Wifi?
Had the same issue with my old Nexus 1. Called HTC support and they immediately said it was a defective board. RMA'd and got refurb, but at least it does not reboot when I use 3g.
Good luck.
thanks jhsiao36, think if I update the radio version 5.12.00.08 can change something or brought it in for service?

I didn't help for me. I tried the 5.12.00.08 radio and it suffered from the same 3g reboots. But when I disabled 3g and used Wifi, never suffered from reboots.
If the phone is still under warranty, definitely encourage you to call them. HTC's customer and tech support is the best I've ever seen. They replaced it no questions asked, even though my phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked.

+1 They are awesome to deal with. It really makes me sad that they are starting to lock down their phones, because I won't buy a phone if I can't run custom ROMs on it.
But with the radio, I highly doubt flashing to 5.12 would help. Google released the 5.08 radio with the OTA update to Gingerbread. If 5.12 was any better, I'm sure they would've included it. There had to have been a reason they stuck with 5.08.
If you aren't afraid of losing anything, or already made backups, you could try the passimg method of giving you a completely stock install. See if the problem occurs with that as well. This would rule out software vs hardware.
No one can really solve it?

I really don't think it can be resolve without sending it back to HTC for a replace/repair. As I said in my previous posts, I've tried 3 different ROMs - stock, cyanogenmod 6 and 7 - all exhibit the same issue - reboot when on 3g, but perfect if on Wifi. And yes, it will reboot even on a freshly install ROM (no apps installed).
HTC knows of this issue and they will replace/repair. I got a refurb and it works perfectly - stock, cyanogenmod 6 or 7.
Sorry, probably not the answer you wanted to hear, but search on <insert your favorite search engine> and you will find that this is a fairly widespread problem.
Thank you for your answer! It does not work, had sent a factory repair.
After several tests, on Monday I sent the phone in for service. I think it's a hardware problem, maybe a bad batch of motherboards.
my S / N: HT05... and your?
I will tell you just back from assistance.
Did you ever overheat it? I believe that the N1 has a problem if you really push it that it can overheat. Once it happens once it will happen again and every time it takes less and less to cause the reboot. Eventually it reboots just with 3G.
I was running mine in the car-mount with GPS, Google Maps (3G), screen on brightest, on a hot summer day while charging ... and it rebooted. Didn't think much of it but then it started rebooting every time I used GPS and charging.
In the end it was pretty near useless ... rebooting all the time. I sent it in twice (the first time they couldn't reproduce the problem) and the second time they replaced the board. Problem solved.
Now I am very careful not to overheat it.
Anybody else having data issues when it comes to the newer .48 radio with T-Mobile? My data is constantly dropping and I'm in a great coverage area. (Always 3-4 bats with hpsa+) I wasn't having this problem with 4.2.1 roms and the .33 radio. I tried to revert back to using the .33 radio and the .27 radio with my 4.2.2 rom but no luck. I don't hear audio in calls and it seems like .48 will only work. Anybody else in this dilemma and how have you solved it?
To be honest, the data drops don't annoy me as much. It's the reconnecting that bugs me. Some times it takes 1-2 minutes to reconnect.

try redownloading/reflashing it?
Same here.
Constant dropping. And sometimes it will stay in E/G mode and not switch to H even when in a known strong H area.
Losing signal all the time as well.
I can barely make phone calls and when I do, there is static.
Starting to HATE t-mobile....the data speeds are fast, if only you can get a signal.
I've even tried new sim cards, and no change.
Anyone have any other suggestions on Carriers for this phone? plan price is not an issue, I just want quality.
I've noticed similar issues with my TMo sim but not my straight talk at&t one. I just attributed it to bad service or coverage by TMo. If it is a radio issue however, and someone can confirm it, this could be very interesting. Would be willing to downgrade to .27. Tried .33 but noticed little difference except larger battery drain. Glad I'm not only one experiencing this issue as well though.

I tried flashing the 27 radio again. Everything works, except the damn audio while in call. It sucks too because my internet speeds are so much better on .27! I hardly see a loading screen. Haha.
Maybe it's time to go back to 4.2.1 rasbean for good. But that means no more flashing
Edit: I wonder if using a different recovery would effect it. I'm using twrp recovery, but maybe should try it with cwm recovery. Or even fast boot.

I'm curious which ROM or kernel you may be using. I have been thinking of trying this baseband out. Even though I rarely make calls, the times I do I would prefer the audio to work. I'm using Franco kernel r102 and trailblazerz11's CM 10.1.

I'm on At&T and all the basebands work fine.. I did try out tmobiles prepaid $30 plan to try and cut costs but my area sucks for t mobile I also could only get .48 to work on T-Mobile with multiple roms otherwise I had no audio in calls.. So sticking with AT&T here

Hello,
Apparently since I flashed my LG G2 int. on CM11, I have a echo problem . The people online with me have a voice return in their phone (they hear their voices back)
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?

judging by the fact that the kernel from wootever and the PA kernel don't have this issue i would say the issue is with the kernel used on CM11 however both wootevers and the PA kernel are not compatible with the official cm11 builds and result in a strange bootloop screen flicker.

I've had this problem on both CM11 and PA4. I heard that this is a bug on almost all AOSP 4.4 roms. The latest CM nightly (12-10) actually fixed it. I have the ATT version so I'm not sure if it's fixed on your variant.
Something even more annoying for me has been that I'm hearing touch sounds during voice calls. I like the new touch sound but I don't want to hear it while I'm talking to someone on the phone. Anyone else experiencing this?
Thank you for your answer.
I'm on the latest CM11 nightly (20131209) for LG G2 int.
I think I'll still stay on CM11 and wait until a fix.
No problem. I'm sure the fix will be included in the next build.
Have you heard that weird noise during voice calls? I have only seen one other person mention it. If no one else has the problem I may swap out my phone for another one before my return period expires.
No it does not tell me anything.
Sorry

I'm having the exact same problem. People say they have all kinds of crazy feedback while on the phone with me, and I also hear touch sounds in phone calls. I have the VZW model, so this confirms that it's a nightly bug. I'll just wait for a fix :good:
Yea the echo bug is annoying. I'm trying out the 801 Carbon Rom and it doesn't have the bug. Its JB but has a lot of options.

I am on stock rom and do have this issue. Reducing the volume during a call solves the problem for the other party.
But you need to reduce to almost a minimum.
the echo problem is persistent. it obviously is not a kernel issue because ive tried about all the roms there is for the d800 and they all have the echoing,even the roms like Mahdi that say echo fix.
i've been to AT&T a few times for the issue,even returned a phone because of it,tried swapping out sim cards and nothing.
it seems more of a software or hardware issue.
i only have the echoing when calling people that are on the same carrier as me. every other carrier seems to be clear and no echo.
maybe its AT&T???

I've never had the echo on a stock Rom but do on most of the KitKat Roms. Turning the volume down does nothing for me.

I have the 801 build and Mahdi does get rid of the echo for me. I think he's trying to figure out exactly how to fix the issue and once he's done maybe that will fix it for everyone. Or we might just have to wait til audio drivers or whatever it is, is updated. If I see one 801 user say echo in any Rom I won't flash it.
Oh god i been through this with the galaxy s2. I sure hope it's not hardware. But our issue was with the noise reduction. I just noticed 4.4 roms doesn't have that issue. If i remember it was a combination with noise reduction and radio.

the echo issue seems to be out of control. happens to a lot of modern phones too it seems all across the carriers.

I never have echoed or distorted voice unless traversing bands or super low signal.
I have also the echo bug on all cm11 roms. Only the latest Mahdi have solved this problem. But what is the issus? On strock or stock custom roms i dont have a echo.
its a big known issue come on devs n mods please help us:crying:

Did you check CM thread before asking? I'm not being rude, but this bug is listed in the first post and and discussed along the thread. There is also the available workaround over there.
Well I didn't check the thread.. but I definitely went through the first post to get instructions for installing the rom and I don't think I've seen anything there for this.
Though I guess I'll take a second look if you say they've already posted something there.

Good idea just to help you, it's right after the instructions for installing the ROM, where it says know bugs. There is only this bug listed: random voice in call quality. You can flash the Chinese modem, it will fix, but it could cause more wakelocks. And if you had the 4.2.2 touchwiz rom before flashing CM, you will not be able to make call again if you decide to restore the 4.2.2 TW ROM without flashing a recently modem. New modems have a different imei code mode that overwrite the old one.
Let's see .. Dont feel so comfortable doing all this but might have to later on.
Thanks for the info [emoji1]
