[Q] No audio during call - Nexus 4 CM11

Hi,
I have a Nexus 4 running CM11.
I am not getting any audio during calls. In the earpiece or speaker. Music, notifications, Skype, etc are working fine.
Tried using Soundabout, but that did not make any difference.
Sometimes when I boot the phone, I am getting audio in the first 3-4 calls that I make. But when I close the dialer and open it again, I don't get any audio
Thanks in advance!!

I'm experiencing the same issue with my nexus4/CM11...
Not found the cause nor the solution yet :crying:

I just made an update from nightly 20141024 to 20141031 and this issue is still present.

Exactly the same problem on Nexus 4. Manifested in snapshot M11.

I've been having the same issue.
I'm trying different basebands now but still no luck.

I'm using CyanogenMod 11 11-20141009-UNOFFICIAL-mako with baseband 2.0.1.1701.03 and I don't have this issue.
Flash the latest radio, try a clean flash then try again. Stay with the stock CM kernel too !

I already have the latest baseband and I am using the official CM kernel. The issue started somewhere during last week's nightlies and it is very likely that even the upcoming M12 build has this issue on Nexus 4 devices.

Not a hardware problem
I wiped and flashed back to a factory 4.4.4 last night and the problem seems to be fixed. So at least we know it's not a hardware issue. I was also able to make calls through hangouts just fine.
I had already flashed the latest 1.03 radio as well as the original stock radio and most of the ones in between and that didn't work. Clearing data for the phone app didn't seem to do anything at all.
Try doing a clean install of the latest nightly or monthly and see if that works.
I bet that if you uninstall and reinstall the phone app that it would start working again.

I just created an issue on the bug tracker: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-324
If you have any additional information please add them to the issue to improve the chances of a fast bug-fix.

still working
I knew I couldn't stay on stock very long.
Flashed 20141102 and in call audio is still working.
Did anyone try a clean install of the latest nightly?

Try to reset only the telephone app (com.android.phone) and reboot.
Worked for me.
EDIT: Doesn't work anymore.

Downgrade to google play services v6.5.86 fixes incall audio for me.
Code:
adb install -r -d Downloads/com.google.android.gms.apk
3563 KB/s (29005798 bytes in 7.949s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.google.android.gms.apk
Success

@ ivanich:
thanks, my solution doesn't work since the google play service update.
Another solution should be to install the gapps again, but I didn't try it.
Greetings

This has been an issue for some time.
The evidence leads us to believe that google play services is the culprit at this time. But why does it plague only the Nexus 4's running CM?
(25 OCT) - When this issue was identified initially. The issue can be temporarily resolved by disabling wifi and restarting the phone. With WIFI off the phone will make and receive calls for at least 2 day without regressing(i personally tested this) as soon as you turn on the wifi, 1 - 4 calls in the audio is gone.
(10 NOV) - Two weeks passed since the initial reporting and the issue went away, assuming because google play was updated. At this time I was able to make and receive calls normally for a week or two. Then out of the blue, no audio. I disabled wifi and rebooted, the audio was back. The difference this time was the phone kept working normally for another two weeks.
(12 DEC) The issue has resurfaced, assuming google play was updated again and we are back to experiencing the issue with the initial levels of severity.
It looks like Google Play Services 6.5.87 will cause the issue. 6.5.86 works fine. 6.5.88 is unknown, 1 report says it doesnt.

Actually I just installed 6.5.94 (over 6.5.87) and my in call audio is working, at least for now.

Reboot to recovery and clearing cache resolved issue for me.

Thanks,
turning wifi off helped.
How can I force google not to update the Google Play Services ?
It is not an regular app from the market.
I've tried to disallow all automatic updates, this doesn't help.

Clearing cache
Rebooting into recovery and formatting the cache partition worked for me as well.

flaky behavior after kitkat upgrade

Hello all,
Just curious to see if you've noticed any weird behavior with your Note after upgrading to the stock Kitkat upgrade?
Specifically it appears that the webkit engine gets stuck and I can not browse with any browser (Android browser, Firefox and Chrome). I just get a blank browsing screen....even my home page is blank.
To recover, I have to go to task manager and kill all the active apps and Clear memory via the ram manager. Then it works for a while. It doesnt appear to be the IP stack, since I can use Ping and Dns utility/app and ping, DNS queries all work; just http gets don't.
I've done a factory reset....same behavior. Even sent it to Samsung and they reflashed it with 4.3 and it worked fine on this release...but after I got the Samsung notification and upgraded to 4.4.2, the flakiness started again.
And ideas on this?
I've noticed that specific javascript sites appear to start the behavior...but not consistently.
Thanks,
J

Received my Note 10.1 about 2 weeks ago now. Upgraded to Kitkat right of the box with out even trying it out and was instantly not happy with the UI design or sluggish performance. I flashed the Hyperdrive KK rom and performance was so much better. Had no issues except for bugs in the rom. Then I came across the Aroma Galaxy Tab S rom and ever since I have flashed that onto the 10.1 everything has been smooth.
Pretty happy now and use it regularly without much lag or slow down.

I use a Stock KitKat and it does happens to me too. It's annoying but pretty quick to "fix" it, just open the recent após and kill the browser you are using, then open it again.

Wifi performance sucks now!
Wifi performance sucks for me after the newest update. I've tried re-flashing the latest again with Odin but still same issues persist. I have lots of shuddering when streaming things such as Slingbox, SiriusXM and Plex. Have noticed the wifi signal will drop out all together as well and does not reconnect right away. Was hoping to keep this thing stock as I use it for work but the wifi problems are becoming frustrating.

Stock was my intention as well originally too. I flash a touch wiz rom so everything looks stock and im not really running any extra modifications so I still consider it pretty clean stock.
• Hyperdrive KK
• Aroma Galaxy Tab S
I have had success with the above roms. Didnt have wifi issues with either.

[Q] No mic/earpiece in calls

Situation
Bought Nexus 4 refurbished, works great except for this issue. Back speaker works great, Google Search works with mic (Ok Google). Updated via OTA all the way to 5.0. Am using phone on a carrier in Ecuador.
Problem
When making a phone call over the local carrier, call connects (you can see the counter on screen), music, if playing, pauses as it should. But no audio from the earpiece, and the other side does not hear anything from my side. Tried putting call on speaker, nothing. Tried with headphones, nothing. However, when making a Hangouts call over data, mic/earpiece work fine. To me, this means the hardware functions, so it must be software related. The phone sends SMS without issue, so it works with the local carrier. Also data works without any issue.
What I've done so far
Searched high and low, and it seems this is a somewhat common problem that some have fixed in many different ways. Please let me know if you know of another that I may have missed.
Downgrading to 4.4.4
Upgrading back to 5.0
Factory Reset
Flash 5.0 Factory image
Upgrade to 5.0.1
Flash complete 5.0.1 Factory image
Flashed latest CM11 nightly
Tried several "solutions" found on Google Group forum, such as pluging headphones in and out
Flashed Hybrid modem with included audio fix
Switched SIM cards
Installed SoundAbout, and tried many different options - redirecting Phone Audio, even changing options for Headset detection (thought the phone was confused, thinking the headphones were in)
Tested mic with recording apps and by recording videos, all work fine.
Installed PAC-ROM without Gapps to see if it was the Google Play Services issue
Disabled the CheckInService
I think I've tried more, but can't remember them all. It's been over a week, and can't answer or make phone calls.
Coming to my wits end, and it's extremely frustrating since it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, and I hate giving up on something I can fix. Any suggestions?
(Edited and added a couple more tests to the list)

yep, you are not the only one with this issue, it started to plague users just recently, including me and from what i've learned so far it has got something to do with google play services.
however for me, flashing 5.0/5.0.1 resolved it (i only encountered it on CM4.4.4 )
here is another topic bout this. good luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/audio-call-nexus-4-cm11-t2924589
ps. this thread i linked above acutally contains some solution/workaround involving disabling one of the google play services. just read through the whole thread

If this is really about Google Services, try installing a ROM without adding GApps. You can then state if they are really the culprit here.

I too had the exact same problem. I was on CM 4.4.4 nightlies. Moving to stock lollipop5.0 solved the problem.

I tried that too. I installed PAC-ROM, the latest nightly, without GAPPS. Booted fine, all seems to be working except sound in calls.
I also tried disabling the CheckIn Service, as was mentioned in the other thread, still no luck. So frustrating!!
I'll try them all again...

HijoProdigo,
+1 on flashing a 5.0 ROM.
Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks back. After messing with the phone for three days, flashing a Lollipop ROM solved the issue (I used CM12 unofficial nightlies)

I'll give it a try. I had tried with the official CM11, both with and without Gapps, but no luck.

Video stops but audio still plays...s4

I have an s4 running a Google edition custom rom. It's 5.0.1 and has been just fine since I installed the from for maybe almost 2 months now. Recently it has developed a video problem where the video stops about a minute in but the audio still plays. This happens on the local player and streaming apps too. I have searched the web for answers and it seems many ppl have this issue and is not limited to s4 models. The only way to resolve it is a full wipe, but after a few days the problem comes back. Has anyone heard of this and what I can possibly do to stop it. I have tried clearing caches in all settings and gradually uninstalling recent apps but just can't get to the bottom of it. It's sooooooo annoying

Stock MIUI Downloads Issue

Hi XDA Fam,
My father's RN7 is acting weird and I'm not there in person to troubleshoot but would like to seek simple suggestions to diagnose the issue. Everything is working fine but the phone is not able to download any stuff from either browser or the email attachments. Even the Play Store app updates are stuck in pending and not progressing to downloading / installing however any media downloads in WhatsApp are working perfectly fine.
I was able to circumvent the problem once by clearing all data from the downloads app and it worked on a couple of occasions but the issue keeps on popping up every now and then. Can some one please advise what can the problem be and its solution? Factory reset is not an option for now.
The phone is running Stock MIUI 12.5 ROM based on Android 10.
I would appreciate all your inputs - thank you!!
