[Q] Omega 50.1 rom question - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, i'm new as far as posting on the forum is, but i have been flashing ROMs for quite a while now. Now, i have a peculiar problem that should probably be shared on Omega ROM thread, but as a newbie i can't post there, so i'll try here...
I started having problems as soon as i flashed Omega 50.1, when in call, and putting that person on the speaker, as i often like to do. Usually, it doesn't take more then 20 seconds to lose the connection, and both me and the called person get the squelchy noise. Now, when i flash the ROM it works perfectly, so i figured it had to be a Modem, one of Mods i'm using, or perhaps the Moto theme. After flashing (full wipe) several modems and Moto theme, everything was fine. Moving on, as I use a few Mods that can be downloaded for the ROM, and after installing and testing each and every one of them, it seems that when i install Modded Camera 1.52 the problem with speaker noise comes to life. So when modded camera installed, you can't put a caller or a person you called on a speaker without losing the connection and getting weird noise out of speakers.
Having this in mind, can someone try to replicate the problem, cause to me it really seems it might be a bug.

first thing never flash more than one mod at a time. Always reboot when you flash any mod. Now what you have to take out the camera.apk from the omega rom zip file and put it in your preload/symlink/system/app by replacing the modded camera then set oermission and reboot. Hope it works otherwise reflash the rom again.
Good luck

mic stops working in phone app

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.

[Q] Bad call sound quality

Hello there,
As the title says my SGS3 phone has problem with calling sound quality (the person at the other end sounds like garbage, like a bad walkie talkie). This started with a random call, and after I answered it the sound just „exploded”. I barely understand the interlocutor.
What's interesting though is that not all my phone calls are bad. I mean I only got this problem on random phones, but when I try to call a service from my country, like 411, is always the same bad sound.
I'm using custom RonenROM and Siyah Kernel. I also have Omega Rom installed on my secondary boot partition, but I didn't experience that issue there. Though I can say that I'm not using second rom so often, so maybe there wasn't enough time to trigger the problem.
I also want to add that I experienced the same problem a couple of days earlier when I fresh installed RonenROM for the first time, so after that I reinstalled it and also used SiyahKernel, but the problem reappeared.
I don't know what to do anymore, I googled this problem but never found a solution for it.
LE: Sorry for my bad english, but it's not my main language.
Check /search the calling sound quality posts.
Wipe phone and install correct stock rom .

Phone stops ringing when moved. Can't use in my pocket.

Hi community!
My phone mutes if i pick it up while ringing.
Kinda remember there is a mod or app which makes ringing less loud when the phone senses being picked up to recieve the call.
That might be useful sometimes, but i don't have any of such installed.
I browsed through settings, ROM control, but haven't find any motion controlled sound option.
This is quite annoying, i miss a lot of calls, cause most of the time i carry the phone in my pocket, so it's always moving and never ringing.
Vibration works perfect though.
Any help is much apprecited.
Btw.: i'm on P.A.C. ROM, with latest Dorimanx kernel.
I never had any issue whatsoever, that's why i try to avoid wiping the phone and put the whole thing together again from scratch.
Cloned as second ROM and installed again without wipe, to get rid of the mods, but didn't help.
Thanx for your help in advance! :highfive:

Sounds like a ROM issue.
So ask in ROM thread.
Could also be a hardware issue, but check all ROM settings first.
Good luck !

Tried them all, didn't help.
No ideas in rom thread either.
I think i'm gonna have to make a clean install to get rid of this for good.
Thanx anyways!

Really Screwed Up JB Install

I originally posted in the JB update thread, but realize posting a separate one is best.
Looking for some help from the experts (but I think waiting for JB fastboot files may be my only option).
I installed the JB leak last night, and restored my apps using TiBU. All was well until I re-booted, and got stuck in the startup animation. Then it hit me.... I selected restore apps AND system data (stupid).
I found a thread elsewhere that got me out of that, into recovery, and, and allowed the phone to boot. Root stayed intact, and all appeared to be well, but now I realize several problems:
1) No notifications, alarms, or ringtones. (Startup sounds that did work prior to the fiasco are now silent, as well.)
2) All sound during phone activity emanates from the speaker. When Bluetooth is active, sound comes from the earpiece AND the speaker. Headphones inserted into the headphone jack have no effect.
3) MP3 files will not play with the stock player.
UPDATE: MP3 files will play with PowerAmp, but again, only through speaker. The system knows headphones have been plugged in (I get a "high-volume" warning) and un-plugged (audio stops), but will not play through them.
I have performed FDR and re-installed the update to no avail.
ANY help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Andy
Just "thinking out loud." here.....
If I install Safestrap, and load another ROM (like spc_hicks09 -
BDH JB 98.72.8) would this be a work-around?
Andy
Well seeing as the leak is an update then yea you might just have to wait until something official comes out.
edit - suggested something you already tried.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm limping along with vibrate turned on for all alerts and ring, and put a piece of tape over the speaker so I can use my Bluetooth headset. (Still hear the other person talking, but it's a lot quieter.
If anyone has other ideas how I can fix this (I. E. Load another ROM via SS, maybe?) I'm all ears.
In the meantime..... C'mon fastboot files!!
Andy
EDIT: Oh, another symptom: streaming music services like Pandora and Jango won't play. Song titles just flip from one to the next as if of played the entire song in one second.
i don't see where it would hurt to run another rom in safestrap to see if its localized to the jb ota or if it's something bigger.
Look for a rom built for the jellybean kernel, load it up, and come back with results.
It's what I would do anyways.
Hope all goes well, let us know how it goes.
I'm curious to find out as well. I don't want to steal the thread, but are the hardware drivers for stuff like audio open? If so then yea it would probably be no problem, if not then not sure. Yes, please do let us know.
SUCCESS!!!!!!
AHHH-HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! :laugh:
I installed SafeStrap, loaded up Rage, and am now rockin' a fully-functional Droid Razr MAXX!!! :victory:
I had a weird situation for awhile where no audio would play from the speaker (exactly the opposite of my original problem), but I used the JB vibrate/sound-on lockscreen slider to switch back and forth, and now I appear to be running at 100% functionality.
A BIG thanks to CamoMike over at droidforums for posting the method to escape the perpetual boot animation (before my battery went TU), and to spc_hicks09 for a great JB ROM!

help this just happen to me I had X-mas Jelly Bean build of 98.72.8 everything was working fine I decided to upgrade to 98.72.16 today downloaded the 98.72.8 to 98.72.16 patch transfer over to my phone but by mistake i put the file on internal memory did not notice i still had 98.72.8 on the SD thinking it was the .16 release that I just transfer I reinstall leak 98.72.8 on my phone again I thought everything was running great until I notice ringtone is not working but speaker & earpiece & bluetooth also working {{{{ one thing I discover just now if on a call I hit the speaker button and then try to go back to earpiece sound will continue coming out of back speaker no matter what }}}}}} and I don't know why youtube videos are not working then I check the build and it was still 98.72.8 tried re-flashing 98.72.8 in hopes that it will start working again nothing factory reset nothing.
Finally I flash 98.72.16 hoping it will kick start something nothing help!!!
I still have root under 98.72.16 tried what you did safestrap 3.11 but Rage rom link is currently dead tried other jelly beam roms to see if sound was working on them but can't get to boot they just reset thinking is the kernel difference
haven't tried flashing the full 98.72.16 release yet afraid to brick it since it's for ICS to Jelly beam
another thing I just found testing when I make calls everything get send to back speaker but when I receive a call I can use the earpiece until I hit the speaker button then I can't go back
tried 5 roms with safestrap none of them boot phone keeps reseting

[Q] [crDroid 15.2] SecPhone.apk is mute after reboot

Hey guys,
i really really need your help, i´m running out of ideas over here
A few days ago i installed crDroid 15.2 on my Galaxy S3 (amongst other things i chose the boeffla 3.10-beta2-Linaro-kernel and a modified SecPhone.apk during the installation with AromaInstaller). I did all the configurations and was pretty happy to eventually have found my perfect custom rom. AutoRecord, no-delay etc.: everything worked very well until i had to reboot my phone for some reason.
Problem was now that i couldn´t neither hear the caller nor the person i called (in fact there hasn´t even been a dialing signal before the connection was established, everything mute from start to the end) while they could hear me perfectly fine. Trying the speakers didn´t work, too.
Making calls with Skype worked, though, and every other "sound producing" app was able to do so. I also could hear the "call signals" (i have to translate here, in german it´s called "Anrufsignal"), but not the actual dialing signal. By call signals i mean the notification-sounds that you can set to know when the connection is established and closed again (there was a third signal, too, i think it was a beep every minute or so...).
Long story short:
I tried to reinstall with a new Kernel (non-Linaro, Stock XXEMB5), unmodified SecPhone.apk and another modem in different combinations, but that didn´t do it.
Even a hardreset (which included a system- and SdCard-wipe, so mobile was superclean) followed by a reinstall didn´t work, the problem persists. Phone works fine until first reboot.
Now i got back to a rooted stock rom (filename: I9300XXEMC2_I9300DBTEMC1_I9300XXEMC2_HOME.tar.md5) and experience no problems so far, but i really appreciated my (nearly) perfect custom rom and would prefer to use it as soon as possible
I already tried google and the search on this site, but it seems that nobody else ever had similar problems, so you are my last hope to make it work :/
Thanks a lot for your help
