I only decided to flash my Note 2 phone with version 4.45 because I had problem with data connection (phone doesn't turn data on when WiFi is turned off or after switching air plane mode off).
Now, about half of the calls I make result in the other party not hearing me. This is quite random but usually the first call is OK. Subsequent calls are a consistent failure. Usually receiving a call is OK but if I then make a call afterwards, the other person can't hear me even if they call back.
This is so annoying so I hope someone can help.
Thank you.
Your best bet for help would be in your device forum since that device is not officially supported.
This would be a device specific issue not particularly related to the core of the ROM.

Paranoid rom voice failed
Hi I have had this problem as well, the data connection does not cause this to happen, but with any android custom rom from cyanogenmod source 4.4.2 to 4.4.4, the problem is that the kernel is from the cyanogenmed source tree so if you can find and then flash a non caffinated cyanogenmod kernel the dialer and the voice should function correctly. Or update to a new lollipop rom as the dialer and sound is working right. The actual reason for the sound problem is in the file itself that controls the sound routing, example ( the sound file contains numbers for routing to in-call speaker) if routing number or file structure for file is corrupt= no in-call speaker because the default file has a routing text that has been mis-writtin by cm. it would be like this
"in-call speaker ui"
in the etc folder under mixer paths.xml or snd soc msm fusion2x3. these files need to be corrected as they have a space or something where it shouldn't be causing the routing for in-call ui speaker to be off instead of on ( volume ) "67.5 " or this without the space between the comma and the 67.5 or this is fixed= "67.5" one of these mistakes is what I believe is breaking #All#kitkat cyanogenmod based roms. So find the correct file structure from an old rom that works right as it will have the same sound file across versions for your device the file stay's the same and can be copied and pasted into your paranoid roms etc folder before installing the rom with a file manager. Confused yet? if this helped or if you need more info please leave message, thanks.

Not sure what numbers I should give you so Im going to give you everything.
Current firmware version : PDA:LPD / PHONE:LPB / CSC:LPD (TMU)
Model number : GT-I9100
Android version : 4.0.3
Baseband version : I9100BVLPB
Kernel version : [email protected]#3
Build number : IM74K.BVLPD
The phone is a UK SGS II, has not been rooted. It is running the official T-Mobile ICS Rom.
A couple of days ago I noticed an intermittent but significant loss of data. I could be in the same place for hours and it would happen, I could be on the move and it would happen. I decided to use Samsung Kies to see of there was a firmware upgrade and would reset the phone. This was done yesterday.
Today I have had lots of issues. Data again will come and go at will, the data icon in the taskbar will disappear intermittently. I have also lost SOME audio. By some I mean the following:
No audio from media via the speaker, either stored on the phone or over the internet. Tried BBC iPlayer, Youtube, Samsung Music Hub. Audio on the phone played through headphones was fine.
Ringtones work fine, but when I answer a call there is nothing from the earpiece. Switch to speaker and I can hear the caller.
Notification tones seem to be working fine.
No keypad tones from phone screen. I have checked to make sure that keypad tones is activated.
No 'system sounds'.
I have been into the menu for volumes (Menu, Settings, Sound, Volumes) and:
if I move the media slider I hear nothing (though I do get the 'harmful' warning when the slider is pushed all the way to the right
if I move the Ringtone Slider I can hear the ringtone playing back in relation to the slider position
if I move the Notification slider I can hear the notification tone playing back in relation to the slider position
if I move the System slider I hear nothing at all
The odd thing is that earlier in the day it was working, then part way through the afternoon I got nothing.
I have spoken to T-Mobile who were less than useless. First of all they said that T-Mobile did not recommend upgrading from Gingerbread to ICS, this is despite the rom in the phone being the official T-Mobile branded ICS rom that they released and I upgraded to through Samsung Kies. Their only answer was to take it back to the shop and they would send it away to be downgraded back to Gingerbread.
Is this likely to solve the problem? I am sceptical. The phone has been running fine on ICS for maybe a month, or since the official ICS rom was released anyway, its only in the past couple of days that I have had a problem.
I cant see it being a hardware issue as the speaker is obviously working for me to hear ringtones and be able to hold a phone call on speakerphone (though that doesnt rule out a hardware issue with the earpiece). I was originally thinking more a software conflict somewhere, so thats why I decided to try a reset and firmware upgrade. I have run it with just a couple of apps from Google Play, Facebook and Tunein Radio to be precise and it still had the same issues, and then tried it without installing anything from Google Play, just transferring a single music file from my PC to the phone and that didnt work either. The track played, but there was no audio to hear via the speaker. If I connect headphones to the 3.5mm socket I can hear the audio perfectly fine.
Im hoping someone has some input on this before I go to the store with the phone tomorrow. Has anyone experienced similar issues?
Cheers in advance
Ive been looking a bit further into this and Im wondering if the headphone socket may be to blame?
Ive had a couple of people take a look at the headphone socket, and the general consensus is that it doesnt look right. One thinks that maybe a pin is bent and the bottom of the socket just looks 'wrong'. Thoughts?
Hello everybody,
I'm sorry for opening that topic but i'm desperate now. I saw similar topics for that but i tried every written solution on that topics not working.
Last month i've rooted my i9500 first time and flashed CyanogenMod (4.4.2 Kitkat). There were few bugs on this ROM. For example Camera Problem, Low Mic issue etc.. After i used that ROM 2 days, i decided to change my ROM because of bugs. I changed 4-5 ROMs for i9500. ( Phoenix, CyanogenMod(New Version), MIUI etc... But the low mic issue was still there.
I tried flashing Stock Rom 4.3
Flashing Stock New Rom 4.4
Flashing stock Kernel and stock Radio
Flashing other ROMs...
I tried all of them. All problems gone except low mic issue. First I thought something wrong with my hardware but after that i noticed that the low mic issue is just running on Phone Calls. If i open speaker my voice is perfect but in normal call people barely hear me or don't hear me.
Voice recorder and Video Recording is perfectly record sound. The problem is occur only Phone Call without speaker.
So i need your help, how i can solve this low mic issue ?
Thanks for all.
try downloading AudioManager on play store and see if it helps. It could be a hardware problem you know.
cheers ~
I downloaded AudioManager but nothing changed. I guess the problem is not hardware because if i use speaker on phone calls my voice is perfect. Audio recording and video recording are also perfect.
No solutions ?
please help me about this. i tried everything i've read nothing changed.
You've probably got dirt in your microphone hole, locate it on the bottom of the device and use a dental pick or something to clear the blockage.
Perhaps you're covering the microphone hole when you hold up the phone to your ear?
I tried to clean it nothing changed. I'm holding same as i always do . I tried directly speak to mic hole. Nothing changed
Same Issue please help us
I Have same issues, im sure Hardware is working Fine, mic in low volume if using at phone call and record voice note. but in other apps like Audio Record, and Activate Speaker Phone mic is Working properly, S Voice, etc
I also upgrade my device GT-I9500 JB 4.3 with firmware for Russia I9500XXUFNB3_I9500SERFNB3_I9500XXUFNA6_HOME
After that , start my problem with S4 device and microphone NOT working level is so bad and low .... sound is very poor
If I use speaker option mic working good , also if I use bluetooth headset for communication sound work good , normal .
But have problem if I answering and try talk "normally " by microphone .
Today try with other 4.4.2 firmware like I9500XXUFNB7_I9500OLBFNB4
But unfortunately, there is still the problem with my S4 GT-I9500
My mic work good with JB 4.3 but this problem start when upgrade to 4.4.2

Thanks
(remove .zip)
same weird problem
i9500. on AOSB KK 4.4.4 1.3v mic works fine on phone calls, whatsapp voice, recorder,etc
but on euphoria rom , some builds mic only works in whatsapp and google nw etc and not on phone calls
frapetis CM12 v19build, mic works sometimes in calls, sometime not, sometimes after dialling crazy screetching noise comes, cannot hear the call then nor they can hear me. after 2-3 call attempts, voice becomes fine,and can call with no troubles. but this sh*T keeps happening.
tried going back to TW(AURORA, STOCK) , still same story, mic not working in calls, but in voice recorder
Some builds mic doesnt work only,anywhere.
anyone any help >_<
considering the fact that voice works with KK and problems are only in 5.0/.1 ROMS. tried different modems for lollipop also, still no use
Hi,i'm Andrea and i'm from Italy.
I have a problem with every AOSP rom that i've tried,based on kitkat and lollipop and i don't understand why not everyone found this bug .
This bug of AOSP roms consist that every time i receive a whatsapp's sound message and i bring the phone to my ear to listen the sound is distorted and incomprehensible. but if i listen it from the speaker the problem doesn't appear.
I think that is a earphone's problem because sometimes it happens when i'm calling. Actually i'm on cloudyg2 and i don't have any audio problem,i've tried to copy audio_conf,audio_policy and some other files from the cloudy to CM12 and the result is that the phone doesn't boot.anyone can help me????
Same for me... It's something to do with the modem we are installing, because without that it doesn't happen.
Hello gals and guys, you are my last hope.
I have a Galyxy S7 Edge G935F bought in Germany with no sim lock, i got it with G935FXXU1APAW, updated to G395FXXU1APC8. Yesterday i rooted it with CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte-hero2ltexx-smg935f based on XXU1APBF. I still have stock recovery.
The Problem:
Sometimes, while sleeping, the phone disables all sound.
This happens mostly while recharging, but it happened also while simply sleeping and not recharging. It is not reliably reproducable, sometimes the phone works for 2 or 3 days without the error occurring. Which makes the error very hard to find of course.
Sound off means: No media output is working (games, video, music), notifications are not sounding only vibrate, the phone doesn't ring when someone calls, just vibrates. No calls and notifications means, this is very severe.
When i plug in earphones or headphones, there is also no sound on the headphones. Putting in and pulling out the headphones does not reactivate the sound, so it seems not to be a problem with the headphone jack. The jack is very loose, though, doesnt hold the headphones strongly; but thats another problem.
The sound can be reactivated by the following:
- rebooting
- calling someone (i used to call my provider) or getting called (the first call gets lost, but when i get a second call, it works again)
- i installed an app called SoundAbout, which lets me route the sound to different outputs. I must first route media output to "earpiece" (the small loudspeaker you hold on your ear during calls) and then route the media back to "Speaker". Only this combination reactivates the sound again. Just activating "Speaker" or any other combination like for example first "Wired Phones" and then "Speaker" does not work. It must be "earpiece" and then "Speaker".
What i tried, without success:
- deleted all bluetooth devices
- disabled bluetooth
- enabled "prevent USB audio routing" in dev options
- uninstalled all kinds of apps having to do with sound or lockscreen
- played with all kinds of settings having to do with sound or lockscreen
I searched everywhere. A call to Samsung was not very helpful either. I might have to try a factory reset after all, but even if its good at factory, i still won't know the culprit.
But since the problem can be solved via software, i suspect it is software related or is at least diagnoseable via software.
Of course, it would be insanely awesome when someone could just present me the solution, but i would do all the debugging myself, if i only could.
I am a developer myself, but only on windows. My experiences on linux don't go much further than doing an "ls -la" on commandline and i am a total noob on android. I will not be afraid of using a terminal or adb, as long as i am guided a bit.
I hope, somebody can point me out how to diagnose and this thing.
Can one diagnose the current state of audio routing ? Can i manipulate it via commandline ? Are there other relevant components which i need to query ?
Could i write a script that pulls those queries every minute or so ?
And finally, if the wrong settings are found, are there log files which can point out who messed with those settings. Which apps would you recommend for those actions ?
Thanks to everyone in advance ...
Correction
just getting called doesn't fix anything. Only when i accept the call it gets fixed and then the next call rings again, of course. So this means, while the bug is active, i miss all calls.
During call neither i can hear caller's voice nor caller can hear me.. First it was on only one sim Vodafone so i shuffled it still the problem was in slot where i have Vodafone sim. i thought it may be a network issue, but after flashing pixel experience custom rom the problem is on both the slots, neither i can hear caller's voice nor caller can hear mines.. i tried flashing different rom , tried restore through TWRP, searched many threads didn't found solution , tried sound about app but it crashes whenever i start it. also tried clearing cache of dialer app and giving all permissions, still no result.
what is working:
Micro phone is working, (used call recorder and voice recorder for testing)
earpiece is also fine, (used whatsapp call)
speaker also fine, (played music)
used headphones and hands free still same problem,
handset:
Xiaomi Mi A1
stock rom: Rooted
then flashed : Pixel experience
used aos custom rom still same problem.
if anyone know the solution please reply,
and guide me
and sorry for my bad English,
Wait for OTA update to 9.0 and all will be normal
Could you solve it? I have the exact same problem except for one thing: I installed Lineage.

Have you ever rooted your phone and used any sound mods like viper HD..??
No, my phone is fully Stock with no modifications
You must try to flash stock rom from fastboot

I had the same problem with you what I did was Cleaning the speaker with an chewing-gum, believe me it did the job.
Have to try this, I found on MIUI forum, that pushing the edges of the speaker by the needle can be helpful too, but you have to be careful, because if you'll push too hard, you can damage your speaker. On my phone, after that method speaker became a bit louder, but not that loud as it was in the beginning.
sorry for my english

Disable your ok google detection
1. go to app drawer by swiping up on home screen.
2. open Google app
3. goto settings
4. Search for voice and tap on that.
5. "Ok Google Detection" tap on this (if you don't see
this option you must see "Voice Match" tap on that)
6. turn all of them off, make sure that they are grey
eyed.
Make a call now:good:
