Nexus 4 Unable to hear during phone calls. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! Well my Nexus 4 has once again stopped functioning normally
I'm on 4.3 stock ROM.(rooted)
The problem is that I can't hear anyone on the other end during a phone call nor can they hear me. Also there is no ringing tone when calling someone.
Help would greatly appreciated.

Im having this same problem but im on cm10.2 anybody else having this too????

I fixed mine with the one of the hybrid modems. If you are on an older modem like .33 maybe try the .84 or hybrid if you want LTE.

Problem with Viber

Hi guys,
today I have installed Viber on my Nexus 4. The problem is, I can hear the ringing sound, but I can not hear the other side, when the person picks up the phone. With the regular call there is no such problem. Am I the only one with this issue?
Thanks

Noone having Viber on Nexus 4?

Having same issue here.
I have no issues, but I have CM10.1 nightly installed. Are you guys on stock 4.2 or 4.2.1?

Issue still not resolved. very annoying. i'm running 4.2.1 on a Nexus 4 16gb.
Its funny - the call works ok most of the time, some force closes though. BUT I cant hang up, viber doesnt let me, so I always have to tell the other person to!
Hi,
This is an official representative of Viber Media.
@Alexander.p.t. - Do you have stock or custom ROM? If it's custom, it might be a typical Custom ROM issue - some custom ROMs alter the microphone definitions of your phone, causing Viber not to recognize the phone's microphone properly. That is the reason that Viber cannot transmit your sound to the other side. We discussed this issue in detail with our users in this thread on XDA Forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25865775#post25865775
Please note that in that thread, a workaround was suggested *by a user* that seemed to have solved the problem for Galaxy S+S2 users.
@rkcckr - What device do you have? Did you try to uninstall>reinstall?
For further assistance please feel free to contact us, we'd be happy to assist.
Thanks,
Viber
Hi
I am using a Nexus 4, stock rom (4.2.1). I have reinstalled viber, cleaned cache etc.
Please note that Viber still does not officially support Nexus 4: http://bit.ly/Hm5k9p
We are working on full compatibility these days, and we hope to complete it soon. In our upcoming major update for Viber for Android, we hope that these problems will be fully resolved. We hope to release the update soon.
I have stock 4.2.1 and I have solved the problem by pressing the hold button 2 times!

Double hello/2 second delay when answering an incoming call on Nexus 4

This lag when answering an incoming call on Nexus 4 is really annoying. Regardless of which ROM.
Could it be network related or the device itself?
I am on T-Mobile. Anyone else on T-Mo experiencing this issue?
nope. what kernel are you using.
Yep. There was a thread about it a few weeks ago.

There was a recent commit to CM that may help this, it allowed for opening of the audio stream before the RIL had notified that the call was connected.

I didn't have this issue with G2 so I'm not used to answer lag. I can live with it I guess.
Used to happen on my desire HD think it is a jelly bean thing
I have also used giffgaff sim and Vodafone both do the same
Really annoying and such a simple thing should be sorted!
Glad other people have posted this cause I thought it was just me lol

I also think it has something to do with jellybean.. Had the same issue with any aosp ROM on my gs3...

It's not a nexus 4 nor jelly bean only issue. My wife's iphone 4 has the same issue, hello hello bug... Seems like a network, tower delay.. And it seems new.. At least my previous phones on the same service provider didn't have this..

I noticed its usually after the phone marks 3-4 seconds that's when the other person hears you...what can we do about this?
My Lil bro inlaw and my moms are all on the same account but they have a amaze and a sgs2. They don't have that problem...

Just chiming in - same problem here on carrier TDC in Denmark, stock ROM.
There's a bug report on it here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42525
So annoying, can't believe there aren't more ppl complaining about this :/
Stock rom + Franco Kernel here on rev 11
Having the same issues. Didn't notice this with my first nexus 4 got a replacement and every incoming call has a two to three second delay.
I have the same problem, it is very annoying, had plenty of smartphones before and none of them had this issue. Galaxy Nexus was my previous device and there was no delay. With Nexus 4 there is a delay and it is device related, or at least device combined with T-Mobile.
Seems like nobody at google uses this device, everyone just acts dumb like you are the only person experiencing the issue if you complain about it.
Just got the update to 4.2.2, and it seems to have fixed this problem for me.
Tested it a few times by calling the Nexus 4 from a land line, and voice came through almost instantly every time. At least as fast as you can lift the phone up to your ear after answering.

.33 radio on 4.2.2

Does anyone have any problems with this?
I haven't updated to 4.2.2 yet because I want to keep LTE
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yeah it works fine, but you will need to unlock the bootloader if you have not already.
I understand but I heard that GPS stops working, I use GPS a lot so I'm hesitant to update to 4.2.2 and flash .33

Old os with new radio = no good:thumbdown: New os with old radios =ok:thumbup:
just updated and no problem
noticed no problem in a week..
gps keeps working..
For the last few days I was running 4.2.2 with the old .33 radio and that screwed up my phone. I lost the basic feature to make calls. I could dial but I could not hear it ringing. When the other person would puck up the phone, I didn't hear anything and I couldn't even talk through the mic. I thought my mic was broken but it was the freaking baseband. After I flashed baseband.48, it fixed the problem!

When I went to 4.2.2 and then flashed my radio down, I lost the ability to hear phone calls, or them hear me. As soon as I went back to .48 (whatever the stock newest one is), it worked fine again. I also had a lot of signal drops with both .33 and I think it was .24? More than usual that is : \

I've also had no issues for using .33 Radio on 4.2.2
I've had multiple phone calls with no issues.
Tested GPS in the wild (while in car) and no issues.
Data works fine in the wild (when not connected to Wifi)
Does the flash method make a difference? Flashing via TWRP vs. Flashing using fastboot command?
I used fastboot myself to copy the radio.img over.
Updated to 4.2.2 and realized I had lost access to LTE with the new radio. I switched back to .33 and haven't had any issues.

No volume during phone calls

Just recently my phone has stopped making any sound during phone calls. There's no sound through the speaker or the earpiece. Mobile data and SMS still work fine. Any possible solutions?

flash the newest radio. are you using an older radio on a 4.2.2 rom?
That fixed it, thanks.

I'm having the same issue plus constant loss of signal. T-Mobile says its the tower in my area, my fiance's amaze works just fine. Phone is getting returned today.

My phone is stock and is doing the same thing. No sound during call on either end (they cant hear me I cant hear them) No ringtone. However groove ip, and skype works fine for phone calls.
Like Simms said, flash the newest .48 baseband radio. That should fix the problem. If you're on the 4.2.2 and on .33, the issue you described will appear.

No Audio!

I looked for a solution everywhere but all i got was to change the phone. I have the no audio in-call problem. There is a way to fix it wothout changing the phone? Any help would be appreciate. Sorry for bad english.

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.

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.

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.
