[Q] CM 10.2 mic and hear speaker audio not working on phone calls

Ok, so I've been using CM nightlies for a very long time. I've never had any major issues unless many others were reporting the same trouble. So now, I've decided to upgrade to 10.2 since it's been a few days already and there are not major issues reported. I upgraded fine except that I do not get any sound at all when on a phone call. The mic isn't working nor can I hear anything from the headset.
The strange thing is that if I put the phone on speaker, I can hear the conversation and the mic is working. If I switch it back, it stops. I've tried the mic and sound in many other apps and everything seems ok except for when making calls. You can see how this is a big issue. If I revert back to CM 10.1, I don't have any problems. As soon as I go back to 10.2, same issue again.
I don't see anyone else reporting the same issue. Here's what I've done so far to try to fix this. I did a complete wipe, lost everything on the phone. I made sure I had the latest gapps. I tried without wiping coming from 10.1 as well. I did all the fix permission in ROM manager. I don't really know what else to do at this point since nothing seems to be working.
Does anyone else have this issue? I'll try stock 4.3 and see what happens but I wanted to share and get some feedback from here as well.
I have you seen s you. Have you found a solution yet? When I use a bluetooth headset it works Fine
You need to update your radio

I had the same issue, updating the radio fixed it for me. I chose 33.84. You can get the radio firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358931

Try the app soundabout from the play store. Tell it to send audio to earpiece and under wired headset uncheck everything.
If mic doesn't work check out my thread in general section. Worked for me.

I tried that and that app and messed with different settings and it didn't work. I'm gonna try updating the radio and see what that does.

Huge thanks for this one. I had been searching google for a solution to this one for a week or so now. I will have to say, the most annoying thing I've had to deal with in quite some time. I should have just come to XDA first like an adult.

Sorry, but I don't know if this applies to the Samsung S4. I would try posting over in the T-Mobile Galaxy S4 forum.

Can't be heard after some time.

This is very frustrating.
I use my phone for calls between 3-5 hours a day. I've been having this issue where I'll be on a call and after some time (ranges between 2-10 minutes) I can continue to hear people but they can't hear me. I use the Samsung headphones with a built in mic to talk. I'll notice that they can't hear me, I'll unplug the headphones and they still can't hear me. I hit speaker phone and still can't be heard. I end up hanging up and calling back. This happens about 30% of the calls I'm on. I also bought other Samsung headphones and the problem persists. It's also not always with my headset. I've had this muting issue happen while talking directly on the phone.
Here is the kicker. I'm on my 3rd s6 edge+ and I've had the problem with all 3!! My first phone the microphone by the speaker stopped working. My second one started having the same issue with the mic. But all three had the same exacting muting issue.
Anyone else in the same boat? Any suggestions on fixing this?
Thanks

Doh. I dont know which firmware/rom/kernel you're running but maybe you should wipe cache/dalvik or clean re-flash.. If already rooted, give a try a custom kernel. Hope you solve it. Thanks.
I have the exact same issue, except my call quality is poor and calls drop a lot as well. Im on my 3rd phone as well. All the issues have followed me on the phone. T mobile told me that I would have to wait for the marshmallow update since its a known issue with the phone and it should correct it. I told them it wasnt a good answer so they are sending me a new sim card to try out and see if that helps. Personally I hope it doesnt so I can get a new device

Ugh. It's going to take forever for Marshmallow to come out. First Samsung needs to rip it apart, then AT&T before it gets to me.
Let me know how the SIM change works for you. That's one thing I've yet to try.

Umm. I see thats AT&T, isnt it? If so, you have got locked bootloader etc, I dont have proper info about it sorry. I prefer you to try something like wipe cache/dalvik etc but it may bricks your phone. So you better ask that in AT&T Forum Good luck.
Edit: I saw your post after posted mine lol. I've simfree g928C btw.

microphone acting up

I recently updated my xt575 with the September security patch. Since then my microphone doesn't work only when making a phone call on speakerphone. Normal phone calls, audio and video recording, and voice commands all work just fine. I have tried booting into safe mode with no success, and then did a full factory reset and held off on downloading anything before trying again, still with no success. Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone know of a fix or workaround for this before I try contacting Motorola? Thanks.
P.s. I am on stock ROM on Att network. I use Android pay a lot so would like to avoid rooting.

Same man. It's weird too. It will fix itself after a couple days - or at least mine did

Odd... I am on AT&T, for the moment at least, and use my speakerphone all the time, never had an issue before or after the update.
Try clearing your cache partition maybe?
Same problem
Hello. I'm trying to solve my Moto's mic for over a week now.
I was trying many ROMs, but ended up using TruePureXMM ROM along with franken kernel.
It was all working fine, except some overall phone lag and constantly trying out other kernel auditor settings...
...untill about 2 weeks ago. Phone's microUSB port got damaged, and I had to return my phone to repair service.
After I received it back, I wanted to try out some Nougat ROMs, and tried couple of them, but found out that the mic isn't working properly there.
Decided to return back to stock, using this forums tutorials, done it without any single errors or problems in the process, I did many devices roms changes before.
It didn't help at all. The receiver don't hear me at all, the only sound they can hear is when I blow into the mic's direction.
*Note that when I change to speaker mode, the receiver hear me with some breaks in between, but it's the only way to call from now on...
I'm confused now, completely no idea if it is really the OS problem, or if it's just something with the microphone itself.
Looking forward for any tips, thanks for help.

I hope so. It's been a few weeks already... If it doesn't fix itself then hopefully the nougat update will help.

I have tried that too. Nothing send to help and I've been searching online for a while for a solution with no results. I don't think being Att has any relevance but figured I'd share that anyways just in case.

Build NMK24B issues

After updating to Build NMK24B I've noticed I cant hear people during calls via the earpiece headphones, Bluetooth or speaker phone and everyone I call says I sound like static. I also get an issue where my screen gets a ghost touch in a area on my phone where j would be on a keyboard that taps crazy amount of times until i shut off the screen then it goes away for a few hours. Anyone else having these issues? also wondering if this would be something covered by warranty cause I sadly didn't pay for sprints insurance plan.

Build issue.
Go back to the previous build or go to 8.0 Beta 3.
This is a known issue. I lost both hearing and speaking on calls in that build.

March update is out

March security update is out which also includes "digital wellbeing support"
Downloading now, 93Mb.
Update went fine.
New wellness feature looks good, could be useful for some, though it does list all apps even ones you are not "really" using like Nova launcher .... but this will probably reduce in stats prominence as I use phone properly during day.
More importantly. Does it fix the Bluetooth issues that exists in the Jan and Feb updates

Not much point in this update then. I had to roll back to December for my Bluetooth even be remotely usable for my car and speakers
The thing that's strange is all these Bluetooth issues ...I don't have any of em. My PH1 works normally with my car, portable Bluetooth speaker and 2 different sets of Bluetooth headphones. Many of the issues others complain of I can't replicate or simply don't have.

I think most of the people who are having issues have a wearable device, like a smart watch, that is giving the most issues.

Same here. Stock, rooted with Magisk, no TWRP. The phone was on Jan update when I bought it, went through both Feb and March updates, no issues. As pointed out, the problem might be more related to wearables, and I don't use them (just a headset and a car speakerphone)...

Mine has worked fine all along. In fact I don't have and never had either the Bluetooth issues or the wifi issues. So either the hardware is that different from device to device or something else is going on.

If so, that's weird, 'cause on mine, it's ok on Oreo but latest Pie

No, my update process is based on the steps from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/es...de-step-step-instructions-to-install-t3877259
In short: adb sideload OTA zip, extract new boot.img from the update, patch with Magisk, fastboot flash patched boot. I haven't tried the method you linked. Maybe another time...
