I recently flashed cyanogenmod 10.1 for the very first time on my new galaxy s4 (sgh-1377m) rogers Canadian version.
Was trying to use tango but the other person cannot hear me and sometimes I cannot hear them. I searched this on google it is a known issue but I was unable to find a fix...
Skype and Fring would do the same thing.
Any suggestions? :fingers-crossed:
Guess theres no soloution then...
This is a huge drawback for me...may have to just go back to stock touchwiz then...

Hi guys,
I seem to have a problem with video calling on my S4. I decided to try it out before, video calling my girlfriend (who has a Note 2) whilst I was out. I could see/hear her absolutely fine, but she couldn't hear me at all. She could see me fine, but couldn't hear me. I tried again when I got home, but again, same problem.
I'm running stock unrooted UK unbranded firmware. I'm wondering if this is a bug within this firmware. When I phone normally, there is no problems, just video calling.
Any help would be great!
Thanks everyone!
Anyone any idea what could be causing this

Everything was perfect when i was on Android 4.3, any skype calls working, video/audio doesn't matter.
But when i updated my wife's phone to kitkat, some skype calls making phone reboot(black screen, then its loading as usual).
It happens not always. And i have noticed that it crashes only while talking to people who have Windows XP installed(with latest version of skype, checked & updated myself).
When she talks to anyone on 7&8 Windows - everything is perfect.
I have tried all custom roms, original, rooted\not rooted, anything.
I gonna write this issue to Skype too.
Skype support asked that Skype not supporting KitKat yet.
Btw it only happens on Nexus 4, when i'm on my phone (XT910) on KitKat, it works and not hangs.
In my case occurs the same...I believe is maybe kit Kat by itself and usually happens when I leave a call in the background while I use another application. Unfortunately I haven't found any solution for that.
i have noticed that it crashes only while talking to people who have Windows XP installed(with latest version of skype, checked & updated myself).

Not really. The problem is a bit more serious: all ROMs (stock and custom) based on 4.3 or 4.4 are affected by this overly annoying camera bug. I obviously hope you're not, but if you end up as unlucky as I did, your camera and LED flash will soon become totally unusable (on all applications), fixable only by reverting to 4.2 or updating to L (I did and it's totally worth it)
Good luck :good:
Also another issue with Skype and N4 is that whrn listening to music and an image is being sent / received in the Skype chat window, fetching that image from the gallery/disk causes the audio system to crash. It's really annoying. Probably it's the same issue as the well-known audio stutters on changing connectivity and high cpu load.
Im using the Verizon G2 and running 4.4 2...xdabebb rom..i use skype a lot for business calls and havent come across this issue at all. On unrooted stock as well as custom. Ive also faced no issues on an S4 i9500...so it might not really be a kit kat issue but a nexus 4 specific...or an aosp based rom specific issue

I have another kind of issue with my xiaomi Mi2 with MIUI Rom on kitkat 4.4.4. I have systematically a black screen when the communication is established on Skype also using test sound server. The sound is working but I can't do nothing with the phone until the end of communication decided by my correspondant.. Very annoying . I have post the question to Skype 5 days ago but no answer. Skype was working properly on my phone on miuiv5 android 4.1.2

I'm having the exact same problem ... I was talking on Skype video call and the phone screen went black and I couldn't hear the other party.. I don't if they were able to hear me or not. I had to hold the power button and reboot my phone manually. I don't know what the problem is but its very annoying and it happened three times in a row. I have used multiple ROMs and it was happening on all of them and they were all 4.4.4. I don't flash kernels, I just use the kernels that come with ROM because they have obviously been tested and have been found compatible with the rom. So I know its not because of kernels. Currently I'm on Slimkat latest weekly and was thinking about going back to stock but someone said its also happening on stock ROM. I'm going to try CM11 and see if it happens there as well. Will report back soon. Hopefully it's just a 4.4.4 issue and not a phone issue.

Hi there ,
So I got sick with my stock ROM hangs and being so laggy , finally decided to take action , sold my gear 2 neo watch and installed CM11 on my SGS4 device.
everything worked fine until the first phone call that I tried to place , I was riding my bike on my way to work and had a static noise in my ears in full volume , so loud and painful I almost made an accident.
turns out it's a known issue , but for me it's a deal breaker - most of phone calls do not work.
bluetooth headset is not working , mic headphones is not working.
This is a real shame , thought CM ROM for SGS4 is going to be bulletproof since it's a major device.
anyway , so now I have 2 options :
1) Going back to stock and suck it up.
2) Install some other ROM that works fine.
Question is , is there any stable ROM which was built from pure android same way CM is?
I'm not looking into experimenting with my device since I had enough of this back in my SGS1 days
any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Hey all. I just got my Note 3 two weeks ago and I love it. The battery life is great, great specs, unlocked bootloader, and I find it easier to use in terms of size compared to the Galaxy S5. There is only ONE problem with this device.
The mic stops working during skype calls after random periods and the only solution is to hang up the call and call again. This lingers even after restarts of the app and phone.
Being a Nexus user since the Galaxy Nexus, the first thing I did was install TWRP and the latest CM nightly. I personally can't stand Touchwiz, which is why I sold my bootloader-locked GS5 to get this bad boy.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is it a Skype problem? Is it CM? Lollipop? My mic is fine, it works perfectly in every other application.
Also, I've noticed that USB 3.0 mode doesn't show up in the Connection type selection menu. Is USB 3.0 file transfer only supported in the stock kernel?
Hey there!
When I bought my OnePlus 5, it came with a mic hardware defect: one worked and the other didn't. Since I live in Pakistan, I couldn't claim warranty and get it fixed. It wasn't a major issue though because the broken mic was only used for the voice recording app and shazam (a third party app that recognizes music around you).
Recently I switched to a different ROM: LiquidRemix and LineageOS. Using both the ROMs, I found that the phone app used the broken mic for calls. This is a major problem now because calling is a pretty important feature of the phone. This forced me to go back to OxygenOS.
I bought this phone because of the amazing developer support on it. Once OnePlus stops supporting the OnePlus 5, I would want to use a custom ROM as a daily driver, and that would not be possible if the mic for calls doesn't work.
So are there any apps or work around that I can use to prevent the ROMs from using the broken mic for calls?
Please help me guys, would flashing stock kernel on the custom ROM work? I have no experience with flashing kernels so I need your help to figure this out. Thanks
