Are you running 4.2.2 with a non .48 radio? AKA did you enable LTE on 4.2.2?

i don't know and i don't think so, i was on PA 4.2.2 when i tried 0.47, 0.33, 0.27(?), i tried almost all modems, then i tried stock 4.2.1 (i bought my nexus 4 with 4.2.2), then i tried CM RC1 but never worked. I hope i can make it work without changing it. Thanks for the reply.

If you did all that then I guess it is a hardware issue.
First for the sake of trying give it a good shake ,cause the earpiece might have slipped for less than a mm.
If that doesn't help then you will have to either RMA or open the device and perform an earpiece exchange.

The problem is that I can make internet calls, so the microphone and the speaker both work. Which part have i to change?

Thw fact is that my speacker works well in internet call (Tango, skype, etc) so will surely that solve my problem? or will it work only in internet calls again?

Before you go swapping hardware I suggest you flash the full 4.2.2 stock image from Google. Bootloader, radio, everything. Then, check if the problem persists.

I bought the phone with Google's pure 4.2.2, tried also original 4.2.1. Same question as before? Is it possible that the problem will persist?

Its highly unlikely it's a hardware problem if you have audio with internet calling. As I said before, flash the full stock image including an wipe with fastboot.

The speaker is other spare part and the ear piece is another one.
The main speaker how's with the antenna.

RMA if you can before trying to change any hardware yourself, but this does sound like an earpiece problem

I'll try 4.2.2 stock. I'll keep you updated.

I had the same problem but it was fixed after I flashed the latest radio.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147194

Nothing worked (flashing/factory reset/downgrading) so I returned back the phone. The new one has no problem.

I had the same problem.. everything working fine in all apps except for normal calls. Even after resetting to stock Google image. After some digging I found the application Soundabout. It has an option to disable the check if a headphones has been inserted or not. After ticking the checkbox to disable the headphone check I could call again with the earpiece.
Funny thing tough, after reflasing my phone with CM 10.1 it still worked. Even on the stock Google image after re-enabling the headphones check I was able to make calls again with the earpiece. Really really strange problem.
You can find the app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix&hl=nl
Altough you already replaced your phone it might be usefull for other people with the same problem.

factory reset = no netowkr or wifi

hi to anytone who is reading this.
here is how my issue started:
a week ago i rooted it
4 days ago my google play stopped working and would not steam any music( i didnt think anything off it just dragged and dropped my music onto my phone)
the next day google play store would not load and just said "no connection" and the re try button... i left it for a few hours and throught maybe its down ... the next morning i looked again and it wasnt up ... i noticed the signal bars and wifi bars was grey ... didnt know what it ment so i left it.
today, i rang gogole and they said do a factory reset... So i did.. grabbed a quick copy of all the files on there and hopped for the best.
it reset perfectly all datat wiped and everything... i tried to connect to wifi ... NO luck ... so i put my sim in and it wouldent read... restarted the phone .. still no wifi and no signal ....
what do i do?
i have the nexus 4 with a three simcard and my router is a bt home hub 3. 4.2.2 firmware
thanks in advance
luke
Start by re-flashing the factory images. If that doesn't fix it, you probably have a hardware problem.
can you please link me to a thread that explains how to do this safely???
thanks

wifi/data problem is always kernel related. flash a custom kernel and that should solve it.

That is incorrect.
Data issues can be radio related. By following my instructions he will flash both of these to stock which will help determine if the issue is hardware or software related.
Fixed it thanks to you guys. was just software so you guys are life savers!

idc what he does. the fact thay he also has wifi issues means radio is not a problem. it is very easy to say flash all stock. thing is to try solve the problem without fully installing the whole thing. that is why yours is not a "solution".

Remote Bluetooth keeps disconnecting

Hi,
I have an S4 which I purchased in replacement to my S3. I use the remote sim access capability to access the phone from my Audi. However what I have noticed is that it frequently disconnects for no reason. Has anyone else had anything like this ? What is the remedy ?

Thanks. Did it fix your problem? I was told by another guy that an upgrade in firmware (probably to a non-stock rom) fixed the issue but I don't want to go through that hassle.

Hi there, I've tried Bluetooth Keepalive but that doesn't fix it. Is the problem with the bluetooth app? Can it be replaced with another version?
i have the same problem with jabra supreme and jabra stone 2 headsets

Hating my S3 lately

So I've getting the no sound+drop signal problem these last weeks where you don't hear anything when making a call and then the phone loses all signal. Looked everywhere online no solution. I really need my phone these days and i am having to use skype to make a call which is total crap. Then today all of the sudden the phone stops recognizing the sdcard out of the blue, also can't seem to find any solution online. I don't want to send the thing to repair because I use it a ton. This is really inconvenient.
Just venting here , sigh.....

I had this issue with my old LG Optimus T P509 T-Mobile.. it was unlocked so I was using it on AT&T.. I never figured out what the problem was but I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one. Haven't had this issue with my S3 yet. Running stock 4.1.2 JB with ADW Launcher.. what service provider are you currently using?

Have you tried a factory reset? or a different ROM?
Even before that, wiping cache's?
If you're looking for help, more detail needed. If your venting, I agree with Choristav. No offense intended.

Which problem you mean, the call issue or the micro sdcard issue? I am running stock 4.1.2 jb and i have orange. The worst is that these problems start on their own all of the sudden with no previous warning. It drives one insane because it's so hard to pinpoint what happened and how to fix it.

Sorry.. The calling issue. I would make a call and it wouldn't make a dial or ringing tone and there was no sound coming from the speaker. This isn't happening on my S3. It was was happening on my old LG phone.. it was running stock 2.3 gingerbread of course, but it was surely mind boggling.

I am sorry but I read the rules and didn't see anything that said that no venting was allowed here, this is a general forum and in most forums general means general chat, venting included, or anything else that doesn't fit in more specific boards. Now regarding your question I didn't do wiping nor factory reset but I did reinstall the Jelly bean ROM I am using, and also I tried reinstalling the modem making sure it was the right one. I didn't do more because I've read in the big "no sound during calls" thread that those methods haven't solved most users' issues so far so seems like a waste of time. Anyway spending my time fixing the phone is my idea of a good time. I've had it for one year btw.

I have that happen and then suddenly signal drops to nothing and I get a circle with a crossed line symbol for a few seconds until it comes back. It's weird as hell and there's no solution anywhere online. I fixed it for a while tapping the back of the phone but now that ain't working anymore. Very frustrating.

Could your case, assuming you have one, possibly be the culprit? I had the same exact issue but on a stock rom, which is odd, but possible I guess lol.

I actually have a stock JB rom, which was working great for a few months before this started. I had the original ICS restore data in the micro sdcard, the one that stopped working today Btw you mean the phone's case? Why would that cause any problems?

I have heard of signal problems due to cases but not too common.. just using process of elimination. Also, that's a pain you lost your SD Card.. maybe try banking up your stuff on your phone and doing a clean wipe? Factory reset?

Yeah usually only when a metal case is used does it ever really interfere I suppose.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Possible problems:
1) Wrong modem. Flash one that worked previously.
2) Mobile phone network problems (we tend to overlook this a lot). Contact your carrier and ask if your networks keep going down.
3) Signal interference (maybe some casing, maybe something in your house)
4) Damaged phone (maybe the signal receiver got damaged in a fall)
I've been having similar signal drop issues. Phone shows 2 bars but no data use, no sound when trying to ring out, can't receive a call. If I toggle 2g, signal will spring back to life and data will show. Changed bloody everything trying to resolve it. Orange UK.

I think you are the one who should go back, were you came from. Seriously right, it's people like you who joined xda yesterday, who have no clue whatsoever about the principles and tradition of xda, who tarnish the name of this great website. The op is talking about an s3, in a s3 forum, were would you want him to go, other than here. If you can't help, just shut it, and let the people who can help go ahead, like the people who posted after your senseless post to help the op.
1. Solar flares got you.
2. Reception problems, UK austerity hair cut, you get 10% of any signal you had before.

Have you guys tried a full wipe with a factory reset? Also testing the device before bringing back any apps you have backed up? Sometimes you do a full wipe only to bring the problem back with a backup.

My phone is having the same issue. I've rooted and installed many different ROMs. The last one I tried called Beanstalk installed with all the sound working properly but on the first reboot, the problem came back. I tried wiping an re-installing but the problem is still there, so it seems to be the luck of the draw. There is an app called Soundabout which you can install to route the sound to the speakers, but you would then have to go into the app to route the sound back to the headphones when you need. Very strange. I've seen many posts on different boards of people with the same issue but no true fix. I need to find a good android developer who knows the code well that could probably figure this out...but who that man could be I just don't know...
Are you still facing the problem?

[Q] CynogenMod - Stops Speaker and Mic

Hi,
Please help, have recently moved to CM from Dirty Unicorn, really really happy with it except one major problem I am having. Without knowledge the speaker and mic stops working. I only find out when I receive or make a call and I can hear nothing and the caller can hear nothing. If I reboot all is fine but it then fails again. Not sure on the time span but is with in an hour.
Any ideas?
Have tried to log into the CM forum but I never get the email saying im allowed to post lol
