[BUG] Other person can't her me mid-call, mic gets muted

Hi,
in the last days with my S3 on every call I had which went for more than 1 minute the other person suddenly couldn't hear me anymore. Sometimes it happened after a minute, sometimes after 3 minutes, but in the last 4 calls it happened every time!
Reception came back after some seconds and from then on it was really bad, the other person had hard problems understanding me.
I searched around and found this thread of GNex owners having the same problem:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus/472451-vzw-other-person-cant-hear-me.html
Then I found it in the Issues DB too
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24019
Do you guys know more? it is really bad, since this is my business phone so nearly every call is an important one and it really bugs me out.
Anyone having same problems?
I hope someone can help me out.

Yes I have the exact problem. It's driving me nuts and I've tried different roms and kernels.

Have you tried to DISable the noise canceling feature?

No but I will try it and report back.
By the way I'm on stock LF6 4.0.4 in Germany (with o2 as my carrier. Unbranded. )
Is the noise canceletion buggy?

I've read that some kernels cause issues like this.
Also, in UK, in Birmingham on Orange, I have been having issues like this, and it usually occurs when the Signal Switches over from Orange to T-Mobile, mid call, and once onto T-Mobile signal, the call breaks up or goes quiet.
Maybe an issue switching from 2G to 3G or back mid call also?

Will try also. The only reason I haven't got rid of this phone is it mostly happens on o2 calls, I am on giffgaff which is run by o2, The op is o2! Hmmm

just yesterday I again had the issue....and my noice cancelling was off...so this is not causing it....
I'm bumping this in hope someone has a cure.
The new rom LFB is not yet published for Germany but for UK. Perhaps it makes a difference? Can somebody in UK with LFB who previously had the issue please check?

Same problem, no solution
I'm facing the same issue. Tried searching for any possible explanations, but haven't found anything conclusive.
I've tried disabling and enabling noise cancellation and all combinations of the in-call options.
There are 2 or 3 main theories which I've encountered:
1. The microphone goes to sleep when the phone display does. As soon as someone seems to not able to hear me, I move the phone away and the screen wakes up. This seems to sort it out temporarily.
2. Someone had posted on FixYa indicating that they tried putting a small piece of cotton after removing the back panel just behind where the mic is. Haven't tried this!
3. Everyone else seems to think that a factory reset would set it right. I haven't tried this as I need to find a bit of time to do this.
Also, I'm wondering if flashing to CM9's RC1 or 2 will sort out the issue. I'm thinking that it has to be a software glitch. In fact, someone reported that they solved it this way (can't remember where).

Which ROM are you using right now?

Ihad the same issue on CM9 and got rid of it by flashing another radio. I originally had the xxlef, tried the xxlfb and ended up with the xxlf5 which works fine so far.

Try this for a fix
goto settings
sound
Toggle on then off or off then on the screen lock sounds then try again :good:

Hey,
just so you know. I am on CM9 and I have kind of the same issue. Sometimes audio is unidirectional, both ways actually, unable to recreate it so far. What always seems to work is my bluetooth headset. Switiching between the two of them makes me lose audio entirely. I have tried many things, even rebooting the phone Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. I'm guessing it has something to do with BT.
I am NOT facing the issue with losing audio in the middle of the call when the display goes to sleep. The display goes to sleep because of the ligth sensor, btw. - not because the system is idling The display is not needed once the phone realizes it's attached to your ear (lights off).
It's driving me nuts
BUT: CM9 is amazing so far. It's fast, it's open, everything works just fine. Except for the phone as a phone of course

Does CM9 come with an integrated modem switcher? I don't like messing around with "packages" too much. The more you mod everything, the less stuff has got to do with each other and it is more likely to run into trouble, because as a developer you can't really consider every side effect
So if this is actually about the modem (which I doubt, because the connection is just fine, it's just the audio output and input that is kind of broken) - what modem would I use with CM9? Can I just flash a random one over the current one?
Appreciate the advice.
Andreas

I notice that as soon as I take the phone away from my ear and the screen lights up I can again be heard... Wonder if there's a problem with the light off sensor affecting the mics too... It ALWAYS goes away when I remove the phone from my ear and the light sensor allows the backlight to come on again...
Might be a crazy thought but the evidence does seem to support this. I haven't turned off the light sensor in settings yet, if I even can, but was going to try next call...

I updated to BLG8 and I will see tomorrow if it happens again. Today I already had one call which lasted 11 minutes without interruptions. I will report as soon as I got more calls to test.

I had the same prob...
I just reflashed the official firmware frm the service centre.

problem with my audio

I have a problem with my phone when I hear songs with the loudspeaker or the application of multimedia the speaker did not work for me but when I plug the headphones All things work as usual
And conversation at the receiver does not work I can not hear the other person and the other person can not hear me but everything works good with the loudspeakerthe otherside hear me and I hear the other side and everything works as normal with headphones
And another problem that when I connect the headset songs begin to work alone and I opened the Google SPEAK
In short as I have noticed a problem when it comes to audio device I have no idea how it happened not touch anything any device settings
Please I need your help I tried everything i try to change the kernel i try to change the baseband i try to change roms
just everything i can think that can help And nothing helped
p.s: Sorry if I have mistakes in English

Same
I have this EXACT problem. I tried to flash a different rom, several different roms actually. It is the strangest thing. I didn't drop it or anything. The problem is that the phone constantly thinks that a headset is plugged in, even if one is not plugged in. You can use the app Soundabout, and disable headset detection as a workaround. I ordered a new headphone jack, thinking it must be hardware, and something broken in the jack. I replaced the headphone jack, and am still having the same problem.
It's crazy that this exact thing is happening to you too... makes me wonder... when did it start for you? What radio do you have? Have you used a slimport adapter at some point?
The only thing left I can think of is reflashing bootloader and radio. Going to try that now and report back.

Its start this week i have radio 54 but i try every radio and no i dont use this adapterand thanx for the app that you post but this is a Temporary solution

Yes, the app is a temp fix... and it gets annoying. I tried to flash bootloader and radios, and still no luck. I asked about slimport, because it is the only "new" thing I have done with my phone recently. I was on .54 radio too, but switched back to 48 or 44 (cant remember which it is at the moment, the american 4.2.2 radio)
can you verify that the app does allow your phone to work? It is very odd that we have the same pfroblem. Do you flash roms often? I do about once a week

i back to stock rom from miui rom in this week and then the problem start

it seems like mine broke after a rom flash as well. I was on june 10 build of PA, then went to june 14 build. clean flash back didnt fix though

i think this is a Hardware problem Because we flash roms and Nothing help

I am inclined to agree. I wanted to test all options first though. I called Google again last night, and the support guy said he has heard this a few times, and they always wind up replacing the phone.

[Q] Sensors dead?

I've been running on 5.0 for about a week (stock, rooted). I rather suddenly had the tablet fail to auto-rotate, but rebooting sorted it out at the time. Now it completely refuses to rotate. Not only that, but every app I've tried that reports sensor data doesn't even acknowledge the existence of any input other than the touchscreen and the microphone. I've tried reflashing 5.0 to no avail, and I'm in the process of going back to 4.4 to see if that does anything but I'm not feeling hopeful about it.
Does anyone have any ideas of what else I could try? I'm pretty sure it's well out of warranty (rooting aside), so I'm not sure how feasible it would be to get support on it from Asus. I'm considering popping it apart and seeing if anything obvious is wrong but I'm not sure what I'd be looking for.

I had same problem with my N7 2013. First: I opened the back and secured a lousy cable, closed, worked almost 1 full day till everything stops. I also used my book case with magnets. Then: I reopened, secured the other side too of the lousy cable and closed. No case till this, 5 days are passed and no error. So, due to my flaw in the modus operandi, now I don't know if it was for the cables of for the case with magets. I hope the second, I won't use that case either anymore :laugh:
Hope this can help (even if I have the 2013 version)

I have exactly the same issue. My Nexus 7 2013 is on 5.0.1 and rooted. I nnoticed the issue yesterday. First alerted by screen rotation not working, I used CPU Z to see if the compass was detected and I found the sensors page completely blank.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[GENERAL HELP] Post Your Questions Here Instead of Making a New Thread

Many people are joining xda on daily basis. Some of them join the forum to get custom ROMs while some join in order to get some of their problem that they are facing with their phones solved.
There are dedicated threads for ROMs but what about HELP/QUESTIONS??
People generally straight away start a new thread to get their doubts solved. But this can lead to chaos in the forum.
I'm creating this thread as an alternative to *New Threads* that aim to resolve a question.
Not only this, this thread can also become a Database kind of place where people can look if their question is already solved or not...
I request all members of the BLUE VIVO AIR sub-forum to help and answer some questions posted here if they can.
I hope you guys get the idea behind this thread...

Hello
I am new here. I agree with you making a separate thread for q/a. So is this thread for all the devices or for only high end devices..?

Official Lollipop images?
I got a Fly Tornado Slim from Russia which is identical to the Vivo Air.
Other names of the phone are: Kazam Tornado 348 (UK), Allview X2 Soul Mini (Romania) and Gionee Elife S5.1 (India, first appearance)
I checked all of the manufacturers, but couldn't find a lollipop firmware so far.
Did anyone have more success?

Tried all root tools so far and couldn't root it. Some people had the luck to root it, I heard. But it depends on the firmware installed.
I use the current "Kazam Tornado 348" firmware so far, which is a slightly modified Vanilla Android.

Camera software non responsive.
Good morning ,
Good people. I Just received my BLU Vivo Air (black) yesterday and love it for the mid tier phone that it is. I love the form factor and how light and thin it is.
Right out of the box there was a minor update for bug fixes and performance. After that everything was still working fine. Including camera. Now this morning I attempted to use "CharmCam" once again to take a night shot. When I loaded the app there was a light haze and I could see the image behind the haze. It was as if the camera lens some how over exposed to allow more light in. The issue is that the software was also non responsive to the point of not even being able to take the picture. So I rebooted and still same result. I then tried the native camera app and this worked fine the first time and then the same haze and non responsive software buttons after the first picture.
Once I get a chance I am going to do a factory reset and see if that fixes the issue.
Still love everything else about the phone.

I'm looking for some info on the stock launcher to see if it is even worth while keeping it versus installing GEL or Nova. The icons on screen don't bother me per se, I have an iPhone.

Issue with bluetooth phone audio in the car
Hi Everyone,
The issue i'm having with my Blu vivo air is the phone audio doesn't go through the car speakers or use the car mic. I'm connected through bluetooth and I can play all my media audio through my car speakers. It's only when i try to pick up a call and talk that this feature completely doesn't work.
I understand that with so many different car head units functionality can be a little different. I'm just seeing if any others are experiencing the same thing. I had no issues previously with my htc one. I just started loving this phone too, and this is a big feature for me. My only work around is to pick up my phone and take it off bluetooth and answer it normally, which i shouldn't be doing in my country. I own a scion fr-s stock head unit for those wondering. I hope there will be an update to fix this issue......
Thanks

WiFi does not work

Vivo Air Battery Issue
I find Vivo Air to be excellent phone. Battery life is great, with 3G enabled it lasts more than 3 days, but it is my wife's phone and she mostly uses it for calls and viber.
The only issue that she has it that battery percentage is not shown correctly. The percentage goes down as it should be and after some time it will just go up. For instance it can go to 55% and the next time she lights the screen it will show 85% full. So, she does not know what actual battery status is. We tried with installing battery apps, DU Battery Saver, but it shows wrong battery percentage as well.
I have opened case with BLU company and they advised to perform factory reset, without wipe data cache, but it did not help.
BLU is a little bit slow with answers, so I tought that maybe somebody had same problem and can advise how to solve it.
So, any ideas what to do?

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 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.
