A Strange Audio problem

Hi, I cannot hear any sound during an out going call(O2 Xda Atom). No ring back, no voice after connect, tried earphones - no luck, tried the switch on the earphone jack - no luck, checked for software clashes, cold reboot, re-flash and couple of ROMs... the other party during a call hears hissing noise. In coming call is fine, both can hear well.
The speakers and mic are good. I can play music, videos, ringtone.. no problem. Also tried audio recording, no problems - the mic is fine. Any clue what is going on? Plz help.

Basically you can flash back to original WM5.O to confirm if it is ROM problem. For your case, I strongly believe it is not a hardware problem

Thanks for the response Sono. But the phone was working fine with wm6, at least for an year. Now I've tried 6, 6.1 and 6.5. I dont have a WM5 ROM back up, will try to get one tomorrow.

Tried flashing the original WM5 too, but no fix. I used to format file sysytem and install radio on my Tornado. Is there something similiar for Atom? Can I update GSM manually? Any advice?

No ring back, no voice after connect, tried earphones

Okay theres a number of things you can try to help diagnose it. Do this all on a clean install of WM6 or 6.5.. Preferably on a ROM that hasnt had any reported issues.
1. The outgoing call gives the receiver static.. correct? is it to any number or just specific numbers?
2. Do you have a bluetooth headset around that you can try? If so then pair it up and see if it does the job, that will prove that its a hardware problem.
3. Try a different dialer or the stock dialer.

Thanks Aegishua for the response, I flashed back to a wm6 ROM that was working fine for over an year. This is what I observed:
1. Calls to two GSM and one land-line gave the same results. The phone is silent, the other party hears a loud hissing and a high pitch tone, not so loud, almost like feed back noise. No change when I mute/unmute, switch on/off spkr phone. when I select 'hold' the noise is replaced with a hold music from the network. In-call recording captures my voice thru the mic.
2. I could not try a BT headset, hope to get one tomorrow.
3. At least four different dialers tried incl original wm5 dialer, wizard dialer- retouched, Yota etc. Each of them returned the same results.
Please advise.
Ok, I got a BT headset, but the result is same as before. That is, out going call no audio at all, in coming calls ok. Does it mean the GSM module is bad? Is there a solution, other than replacing the entire ckt board?
Thanks, Jole.

Mga kabayan, im not sure if this will work for you.
i assume youre using globe sim card and i experienced it before when i first flashed my atom life (with official rom) to a cooked 6.5. (talagang my issue kc ang atom life s globe kaya fix nila s official upgrade nila.)
so i upgrade it 1st with an official upgade rom from O2 before i flash it to a cooked 6.5. a long procedure but worthy. Try nyo lng din. hope it will help.
btw, after testing all latest rom... i am still using and preffered our kabayan chef bajok's 23004 release. not much in latest interface but it is stable and free from any bugs.

PolishVodka's CyanogenMod 10 RC2 - phone calls bug?

Hello everyone,
I've just installed JB CM10 RC2 by PolishVodka, ROM works fine, but i can't hear the voice of person I call. I have also flashed all fixes included in main thread, but it does not solve my problem. Of course before installation I have fully wiped my phone via Recovery (latest verion), resized partitions etc. On GB/ICS roms I haven't noticed this problem. I would like to use this JB rom as my daily, so please help me!

Would you mind if I post about PolishVodkas rom here? My problem may be somewhat related to yours: the sounds (except music) are always on the speaker, even if headphones are plugged in. ANd when there is a call incoming the phone behaves like headphones are unplugged and plays all sound through speaker, thats mean music AND the ringtone of icoming call.
If this rom werent so fast and stable I would just forget about it and flashed something else, but I really would love to stay with it. PolishVodka - hope you read it.

You're welcome, P.G.R I have reported my problem directly to PolishVodka . He told me, that some users have encountered described problem with phone calls, but on his phone everything works fine, so it's pretty hard for him to find the source of this bug. Anyway I have good news - during the call let's try to set the volume higher or lower by +/- buttons. I've done it once and problem disappeared permamently I haven't tested headphones, but maybe this little PolishVodka's trick solves all sound problems

Good, but, meanwhile, Ive returned to AOSP2 and it is super fast, its weird that no one uses it as a base for their 2.3.7 roms (most seems to base their work on SDSL, which was always too "jerky" for me...)

That explains why I got no sound while I was getting called.

[Q] i9500 Low Mic Issue

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
Best ,
Z.

can someone edit this..?
same here~
but can someone test or edit file default_gain.conf maybe it will solve our prob
Thanks

How have problems with AOSP and Whatsapp's sounds??

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.

NeXus 6p - problem with calls

Hi, when I make or recieve a call as soon as I click the call or answer button the screen goes black. And I can't hear anything thru the ear speaker. However, when I put it on speaker it stays normal. What can cause this issue?
Thank you for your help guys

Which Rom? February based? Check other Roms or update your current

Yeah what ROM are you using?? I have this similar problem when I use PureNexus ROM and his gapps. I think there is an issue with the google phone apk. Whenever I use stock or Nitrogen ROM I have no problems.
