mic stops working in phone app - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
the mic on my phone randomly stops working in calls made with the stock cm9 phone app. The other party doesn't hear anything at all, dialing tunes are transmitted, though. The Mic does work in every other app I have tested so far, just not for normal Phonecalls...
I thought it might be because of the modem so I flashed some others which temporily fixed the issue but it always arose again some time later.
I tried clearing cache and deleting the apk's data, no help
(I made sure I didn't mute in call volume, just in case u wonder)
Running cm9 rc2, stock cm9 kernel, modem i9300xxlef
I appreciate any help

I did, the issue was caused by the radio. I flashed the XXUGMK6 radio(I believe from somewhere in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...s3-modem-radio-collection-t1740061)(otherwise try sammobile) and after a few reboots it worked. For some reason it takes more than one reboot for radio changes to take effect. I hope this helps.

thx, but it did not work out for my phone.
I really think, it is a hardware issue.

[HELP] Audio cuts out. No sound during phone calls.

So I recently just rooted my droid and I'm running the evileris firmware atm I'm really happy with everything except that my phone can no longer make phone calls. The sound during phone calls does not work and I think it may not work sometimes in the music player as well. It works when I plug in the headphones but when i take them out no sound.
Airplane mode and resetting do not fix this problem and the updates that I've tried flashing from [FIX] Audiofix. NEED TESTERS FOR NEW KERNEL in the Hero CDMA forum do not work either.
This phone worked fine before rooting and flashing and the problem is present on all the roms I've used. The update above simply hangs my phone at the bootscreen, no matter which one I use. (Maybe its written just for hero?)
Anyways I was hoping one of you guys could have a fix or maybe have also had this same problem? Thanks!
(from what I've read in the thread above it seems the issue is a bad kernel that hangs up or fails to reset so you have to do it manually, but resetting doesn't fix the issue for my. My problem is constant phone call audio loss)
UPDATE: I have done some more experimenting and it seems the only problem is from the in-cal speaker, because when I put speakerphone on it works fine. The problem lies with the front speaker (part that goes to your ear).
maybe your phone is broken?
I went back down to 1.5 root, works fine. Its an issue with 2.1 :/ So currently I have 2 nandroid backups, 1 of 1.5 and 1 of 2.1 so I'm just switching in between the two.
did you try....
Did you wipe before flashing? After flashing did you try *228 opt 1? This may help as it sorted my audio issues with another Rom.
im having this same problem and i have no clue why i have tried everything knows possible to fix this.
I wipe before each flash as well as each recovery haha. atm my setup is 2.1 evil eris for the weekends and 1.5root for the weekday when i actually need to make calls
*228 opt 1 did not work btw
I just make a new backup at the end of the week and recover to the other one, works like a dual-boot pc or a bootcamp mac. It works, but its getting kidna old I'd rather just have 2.1 for good haha.
Longtime lurker.....1st time poster....I just installed leak v2 (I was one of those that was too impatient to wait for root)...I had the same problem that everything worked fine except the phone had no in call sound. went through all the setting and found that TTY was set to full...I unchecked it and the sound came back. I know this may be simple...but it worked for me.

I'm having the same problem... During a phone call, I get no sound / can't hear the person I am calling from the "internal speakers" (i.e. the one you hold to your ear during a call). If I switch to external speakers (i.e. loudspeakers) I can hear the person I'm calling...
What is this "TTY" setting that fixed this problem for you? Where can I find it and uncheck it?

NO IN-CALL SOUND when I get calls or call myself

3 days ago I started experiencing weird phone behaviour. I tried calling someone but i didn't hear the "calling" beeping sound nor i could hear if there was any answer on the other end. Then i couldn't hear anything when i was getting calls. It didn't matter if i use the "loud" speaker or the "on-ear" speaker, the result was the same - no in-call volume. Microphone and "loud" speaker seem to work fine as i could use them as usual with other apps. Mobile data was working, so antenna was also OK, SIM card seemed to function properly as well. Other people who I tried speaking to did hear me fine, just i couldn't hear anything.
I tried freezing, then uninstalling all the non system apps that i thought could have impact on this matter, but that didn't help. I was using AOKP Rom and i had nand backup of Omega Rom 5.2 with stock samsung touchwiz, I tried restoring back to it, but for my surprise the in-call sound was still quiet. I didn't know what else could be and let it alone for an hour or so. Suddenly, the next time I tried it again, it WORKED!. After 2 hours of it working, i got back to my AOKP as i have it backed up right before switching to Omega Rom backup. I defrosted the apps and reinstalled the uninstalled ones. Nothing was influencing the in-call sound of the phone, everything worked fine.
The next day this problem popped up all of a sudden again. I got mad, i tried everything i did before except restoring the stock rom. Nothing helped. I then booted into CWM and set to fix permissions, to wipe Dalvik cache and i flashed the latest modem. Rebooted. The in-call sound was OK again. Something of these actions fixed it.
Today i got this NO IN-CALL SOUND bug once again. Seems like it wasn't the new modem that helped me. I booted to CWM and wiped Dalvik cache, rebooted, the in-call sound was working fine again. So, wiping Dalvik cache does fix the problem so far.
I'm keen to understand what exactly could cause this weird behaviour of disappearing in-call sound. Do you have any ideas?
I have the same problem.
If you find any sollutions, let me know.
You may delete some system apps.the solution is that you can just flash a rom and don't delete the apps you don't know
I've experienced something similar. I think in my case the MIC wasn't working either, but not entirely sure about that.
This thread seems to be about the same issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721604
Also while browsing the developer forum, I bumped into something interesting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745974
This is for a ROM I don't use, but if the it's the same issue, and affects other ROMs too, I'd be very interested in knowing what exactly was fixed here.
Experienced this problem for the first time today, the volume actually disappeared during a call. Read through the posts suggested above and cleared cache and dalvik, but it didn't make any difference. Finally, I removed the battery, re-fitted and re-booted and it's currently working again. There does seem to be an issue with Omega/Siyah 1.2.6 combinations which is what I'm currently running

[Q] No sound on call, network drops (sometimes)

Hi,
I've been searching for a solution for this problem for several days now, and couldn't find anything useful.
Hopefully you guys can help me.
Here's what happens - Most of the time, I can't hear anything during a call (doesn't matter if it's outgoing/ incoming). Sometimes everything is just fine.
Also, sometimes the network drops in the middle of a call or right after the call ends.
Another thing - if I tap on numbers in the dial pad, the other side of the call hear the sound, but in slight delay and a bit distortion.
On the first couple of days using CM, everything was fine, then then phone couldn't make calls, and couldn't hear incoming calls.
My IMEI and SN are correct.
Some of the background story is missing because my father had the phone with him for a year or so, and the problem might have started after an attempt for OTA update.
I've tried:
1) mute/unmute, turn on speaker, noise reduction, etc...
2) flashing a couple of Samsung-stock ROMs (both 4.1.2), and one older version of CM (9.1, 4.0.4).
It's a I9300, and right now it's running 4.1.2 JZO54K, XXEMG4.

[Q] i9300 no sound in front speaker on incoming calls

Hello everyone,
Just got my S3 ( i9300 ) and surely enough flashed it to latest cm stable from their website which is 10.2.
Everything works, but I have this strange issue with incoming calls. When i answer the call, I cant hear the other person through the front speaker. I need to enable the back speaker and disable it to get sound on the front one. Sometimes the sound would be distorted. This does not happen on outgoing calls, they work perfectly fine.
I later flashed kitkat nightly and it had the same issue.
Problem goes away if i recover to stock. Unfortunately, i can't stand the damn thing.
Baseband v: I9300XXUGMK6, which is the newest for my region and also seems to be most common.
I tried googling, but couldnt find this specific glitch.
Any suggestions would be appriciated.
Thanks
Same problem, same story

I'm very happy to report, that yes I have. Archidroid rom ( 2.4.6 is the latest stable ).
Occasionally, I still get the same glitch, but it happens once every three reboots and goes away after first time it occurs.
Edit: i've also flashed the new baseband which comes with the rom: I9300XXUGNA8

I had the 2.4.5 installed and had to switch because of the issue, so i switched to archidroid 1.x version and problem was gone, now on archiport(ultimarom beta1) the problem is there again. Thats real sad because the rom is such awesome
So i think sammy had done something in their 4.3 version that fixed that

That's really odd, since I've been using Archi ever since I first flashed it ( at the time I believe it was 2.3.x ), and I'm a happpy user since then.
try dialing outgoing call to whatever number a couple of times and then get some incoming calls?
And yes, Archidroid is awesome, has everything you could possibly want ( the only exception being MHL )

I just have to activate loud speaker and then deactivate during call and sound is normal, a lot of users have the same issue but noone have a 100% solution. I know its awesome and will give it a shot when he release his 2.4.7 with CM

After i had a go with Omni, I can't think of any reason why should I switch back to CM. Arhci mentioned CM's support and developer base as a reason for the switch, will see...
I use my phone at work quite heavily and it's just impossible for me to switch back and forth speakers.
Found something interesting in kryten2k35 thread... Will report

No Sound In Call

My microphone and speaker are completely unresponsive when in a call. The microphone is working on every other app on the phone. I'm not sure how to test the call speaker without being in a call but every single other audio function on the phone appears to be working normally which suggests to me that this is a software issue. However, I recently had the micro USB port replaced so I assumed that it's a possibility that there is a hardware issue, I don't know enough to say one way or the other.
Prior to having my phone repaired I was running CM 13 and everything was fine, I wiped it before it went in for repair with the intention of flashing the latest LOS nightly build on return. After this I discovered the call audio issue. I then tried the previous nightly build, same problem. I then wiped and flashed CM 13 again and the issue persisted. I then left it for a few hours and came back to it and the call audio was working fine again, so I wiped it and flashed the latest LOS nightly build again, and the issue has returned.
I am completely out of ideas on this one, can anyone shed any possible light on this?
Edit: Clarify to add this is the kate model, I'm not sure how many or if there are any variants at all of this phone but mine is the SD650/3GB/32GB model.
You have a radio problem, because of the changes made in Android 6 and 7(please don't "bomb" me if I am wrong). I have the same problem. Does viber, Skype, whatsapp work ok? This was my temporary solution:when i install this rom(probably because of the radio) everything works fine

I just tested a WhatsApp call and have the same issue. Thanks.
I thought something was strange with that after reading about the issue a bit more, so I tried a Skype call, and the audio was working. I'm going to try the ROM you linked.
I can now say that the call audio is working fine with the Nexus Experience ROM, thanks for the help.
Can you (or anyone else for that matter) tell me if I would be able to install the latest LOS nightly along with that radio app provided there and call audio would work, or are they not compatible?
Can you please send me the link of Los you wrote about? I think that it would be OK,I will try
