[Q] I cant hear the caller but he can hear me. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cant hear the caller but they can hear me. But the problem is that when i reset the phone evrything works fine then.... for awhile. Now it started to happen more and more often. Once every day i have to reset the phone.
I didnt have my phone moded so i moded it with latest darky mod, and still it didnt solve the problem.
It hapens also when im using in car parrot instalation. They can hear me and i cant hear them.
But when i put them on speaker i can hear them. Weird!
Is that a software bug or hardware?

If you did not have a custom rom i would take it to a service centre .

Do you use a Voodoo custom kernel?
If yes - and you use an older version of the Voodoo control app with the setting "Direct DAC" this would be the result. Upgrade the Voodoo app.

I had the same issue with Darky's v9.4, when I flashed v9.5 it solved my problem. I hope it helped.

Have you tried flashing another modem? I had a similar problem, calls got cut after a short time, but another baseband solved it.

Audio Problem... Help!

Ok so I'm running CM 4.0.4 no theme installed. My problem is that everytime I'm lisening to music on my g1, I will get a text message or a call and it basically makes it so there is no audio for ANYTHING. Even if I'm lisening to a song and I try to take a picture it will do the same thing. I don't understand what the problem is. Before I rooted it wasn't a problem I could lisen to music and do anything I wanted and get any call or text etc. I had CM 4.02 and I had the same problem. I figured if I upgrade it would fix the problem but it didn't fix a damn thing.... other then that my phone runs really fast and smooth =)
Any ideas?

you can try reflashing the radio, if you have cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image then you will have to rename it to update.zip, and flash with the keyboard and reboot with home and back because of a bug with radio and spl flashes with his recovery image.
if that doesn't work i think there is an app in the market call ongoing music adapter or something like that. (i think i remember reading a long time ago about something like what you are describing happening and that is what some people did and they said it worked though i would try flashing the radio first)
edit: how is it you choose to reply to the same thread around the same time i do xidomicanoix? are you clairvoyant?

damn you found out my secret
idk man just checking the forums before i go to bed and happened to come upon this thread
Ok so I think its fixed now. I re-downloaded the radio image and installed it I think the radio I had was corrupted or something but I swear it was installed? I'm not 100% sure if the problem is fixed I will find out later on today 4 sure though and I will let you guys no. Going to bed now.
I had that same problem, the radio update fixed it.
the radio is a pain in the arse. I had bluetooth issues, radio fixed it. then after a couple of cyan updates I was going to a college football game so I installed the audiohack to make sure I would hear the phone ring. When it didn't work I reflashed the radio and it started working. For this reason I keep the radio image on my sdcard and reflash it everytime I update the rom. just FYI, keep the radio on your card.

[Q] No system sounds, even after flash.

Hey guys-
Kinda a weird problem.
So my captivate won't play any system sounds at all. It's particularly weird, since all media apps work just fine. This was fresh from Samsung's repair center, and had a new install of official 2.2 on it. It wasn't even rooted when this problem started, and after a flash to 2.3.3 it still has the problem. I've tried changing the ringtone, notifications, and every other sound; same thing with turning everything up all the way. Nothing has changed and there is no silent mode active anywhere. It seems to only vibrate when a message comes in. I'm fairly confident that it's not a software problem, due to the updated firmware and kernel. Has anyone had this problem? Do they know of a workaround?

Mabey an odin one click, then keys update to froyo might work ??? !! I'M NOT TELLING YOU TO DO THAT, I'm just suggesting that might work. If it came with froyo then you might get a bootloop so I would suggest getting a jig if try this way

jig
in all cases the jig is your lifeline lol. I SUGGEST having a jig handy when any new roms are installed. There are alot of good roms out there having no phone for a couple days changes the perspective and for you to make a jig is under 10$ .... Did I mention lovin the new Serendipity 7, good clean rom.

Fuzz sound on voice

I've come to find out that my voice has some fuzzy/static sound on it when I call people. Almost like I sound like a robot. Has anyone had this problem before?
Phone has worked fine for last year or so. 3 months ago I flashed from Apex back to stock UCKB2 with Odin and that's when some people started to comment about the sound of my voice. Today I flashed the ATT GB bootloaders along with the UCKB1 modem to see if that would fix it, but the problem still exists.
Any suggestions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I'd say try to change the modem again. I've had a bit of luck with KK4 and KJ3, but the modem experience varies from phone to phone.
I flashed the modem and kernel back to stock again and it made a small difference. It still has a fuzz sound on the voice to me, but people say they hear me better. Maybe it's time to put it up on Craigslist and look at something else.

[Q][i9000] Rear Speaker Problem after Flash

Hi Everyone,
I've searched through the i9000 section and have not found a solution to my problem.
I have a problem with my rear speaker on my i9000 after flashing to the stock XXJVU 2.3.6 rom using Odin. I have sound through the headphones, and the front speaker but no sound through the rear speaker (i.e. I cannot hear the phone ring).
Prior to the flash I was running a cooked rom (from Rom Kitchen) JS8 (2.2.1) with the speedmod k13c kernel with the lagfix enabled. This was working fine and the speaker was working correctly prior to the flash.
Before I flashed I attempted to disable the lagfix through CWM, however, towards the end of the lagfix the phone got stuck during the testing proportion after converting everything back to RFS. When disabling the lagfix I had forgotten if the /system was converted to ext4, and I did not convert that back to RFS (to my mistake the /system was most likely still ext4), but converted the rest back to RFS.
After a long time I took out the battery and restarted the phone. The phone booted into the rom fine, however, all the settings had been reset (just like when you factory reset the phone). I assume the reason was that it did not restore the backup of my settings when it got stuck during the disabling of the lagfix. I do not remember if I had sound when I booted back into the rom.
I then turned off my phone and flashed the XXJVU stock rom via Odin (pda/modem/csc/pit with re-partition selected), and then cleared all the caches and factory reset before and after installing the Semaphore 2.5.0 kernel. Both of the flashing processes completed without any error. When I did boot into the new rom I realised that I no longer had any sound, however everything else seems to be operating fine.
List of things I have tried to fix this issue:
Factory reset (both through the menus and *2767*3855#)
Wiped and factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache many times
Tested the speaker through *#0673# (Audio Test Mode) and get no sound
Tested the speaker through *#0283# (Audio Loopback Control) and get no sound
Taking the back cover off the phone and pressing the speaker module whilst playing music to see if it was a loose connection
Flashed the firmware back to two stock roms from my carrier (2.2 and 2.3.3 version from Optus) still no sound (everything else worked fine)
Flashed the XWJW1 stock firmware and still no sound
Tried inserting and removing headphone plug into the jack multiple times. In case there was an issue with the phone thinking there were headphones still plugged in.
Turned on "logger" in Semaphore kernel and using alogcat to see if there were any errors related to the rear speaker (nothing I could see)
I am now thinking it could be a hardware issue, however, it just seems too coincidental that the rear speaker breaks whilst I am flashing a new rom on the phone. Might have to open it up and have a look at the speaker module more closely.
Any ideas anyone?
For those who find it tldr
Summary:
Disabled lagfix on 2.2 rom process got stuck and battery had to be removed
Flashed new rom as phone still booted to XXJVU and noticed there was no sound in rear speaker
Tried many things to try to get phone sound working again but have run out of ideas
Thanks everyone!
Outcome:
I have bought a new speaker module and installed it and it WORKS!
Buy a new phone, bro

haha I wish I could. Gotta wait for the SGS III to be released
Anyone have any ideas?
same problem
Up, Up
Sounds very intresting.
I got the same problem after flashing Slim ICS 2.8 to 2.9.
Revert back with my Nandroid Backup to 2.8, that i done before flashing ,but still the same, Before everythings worked fine.
I also suspect Free Spirit Fm and the options in audio --> Method --> Galaxy S ALSA/ICS (DANGER) , but this option always wored fine since some month.

Yes it is a very odd problem.
I have yet to open up the phone and check the connection of the rear speaker module. Everything is working fine except the rear speaker.
At least I now know I'm not the only person with this issue. What else have you tried to fix your problem? Tried some of the fixes that I have tried?
this is actually what I've done
revert back to Nandroid backup
Delete cache of some apps like Dsp manager and Spirit FM as i suspect it to broke my Rear Speakers (but maybe nothings releated)
Factory Reset and Wipe Everythings
Change Kernel to Glich V14
Now i also open up the phone and check the connection, everythings seem to be good
I'm now going to buy a new Rear Speaker and try to change it, maybe it's just a coincidence , But very strange .....
Yes, I find it hard to believe that my rear speaker stops working at the exact time that I'm flashing a new rom. I was going to buy a new speaker, but decided that I'll wait until I open it up and have a proper look. Just trying to find some motivation to go and do this, it has been about two weeks of trying and I've almost given up.

Hi m1n1on,
That seems to be very crazy , but i got the speakers today, i place it on my phone and it Works
I start to thinks that it was a pure coincidence !!!
It cost me 7,50 $ shipping include with this seller on ebay -----> easyworldwidetrading and i got also the screwdriver with it. I bought it on 19th and receive it today so it takes 9 days.
Try it and let me know......

Wow awesome!
How is the quality of the speaker compared to the original? I'm debating if I pay more to buy a genuine rear speaker or just get a generic one.
How difficult was it to open up the phone and replace the speaker?
same issue but slightly different
Hey guys, I have the same issue with my i9000 after a fresh wipe and flashing the latest CM9 nightly build as of april 2nd ( update-cm-9-20120402-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd-signed.zip ) and the rear speaker doesn't work for ringing or music playback, but I noticed it works for putting calls on speakerphone -- is this just me? Should I replace the speaker?

If the speaker is working in some cases then you won't be in the same situation as us. Ours didn't work at all, no matter what situation.
Have you tried flashing it back to a stock rom?
edit: stupid question but you have checked the "Sound" settings > "Volume" > "Media volume" and "Incoming call volume"?
Same problem I got today when woke up in the morning, I wonder why didn't alarm ring today. Then I tried flashing ROMs etc etc. watching videos on the youtube, did google and find this post.
I think I will have to buy new speaker.
Any idea?

G'day,
Have you tried the methods I tried in my first post?
Factory reset (both through the menus and *2767*3855#)
Wiped and factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache many times
Tested the speaker through *#0673# (Audio Test Mode) and get no sound
Tested the speaker through *#0283# (Audio Loopback Control) and get no sound
Taking the back cover off the phone and pressing the speaker module whilst playing music to see if it was a loose connection
Flashed the stock firmware.
Tried inserting and removing headphone plug into the jack multiple times. In case there was an issue with the phone thinking there were headphones still plugged in.
I'm still waiting for my replacement speaker in the post. I will update if this fixes the issue.
Good luck!
Do you get ANY sound from the rear-speaker? I have a similar issue (loss of audio after flashing new ROM) but it is the handset speaker. After some troubleshooting, I found that there it was still working but was ULTRA low volume. With a number of tweaks, you can just hear calls if the other person is yelling. With headphones/rear-speaker, very thing is fine.
My next troubleshooting step is to find a way to repartition the phone and reflash a stock ROM. That's about all I have left as I have tried all other options.
Zimzum
Just an update people.
Just installed the replacement speaker module... and it..... WORKS!!
flash an official ROM using Odin
I need some help here. My i9000 seems to work through the rear speaker ONLY??? During hands free calls the thing is MUCH louder when turned around and listening from the rear. All ringing, alarms, etc. seem to emanate from the rear speaker. Is it difficult to replace the front speaker? I have cm9 Nightlies flashed (up to date). It's been like this for a few months already.

[Q] mic issue

I'll just get down to the brass tacks here,
I have a cappy (love it) running Helly Bean 4.2.1, and I followed the instructions as per the thread. Everything worked fine until I tried to use the Config Manager, which told me I had not installed the Devil Kernel. I got the latest kernel from hellybean's site, and after installing it (flashing .zip through CWM), I would get back-to-back popups that com.android.phone had stopped working. I tried every version for Jelly Bean, from 1.6.x to 1.9.5, and all did the same thing.
It might be worth noting that, the same day I flashed 4.2.1, I also replaced the touchscreen assembly, touch button assembly, and the touch button ribbon cable thanks to the cruel mistress Gravity. I'm pretty sure everything was done right, and I'm not aware of any calls I had made to test it. When starting on a fresh rom, I tested the mic with Z-Device Tester, and the mic registered sound input. When I would call someone, the mic wouldn't work, and testing it again with Z-Device, the mic picks up nothing.
To add to the confusion, I reinstalled a backed-up rom I had made back in November (Helly Bean 4.1.2), when everything was in working order. Again, Z-Device picked up on my voice, test call failed, Z-Device no longer shows mic input. Using an external mic (headphones with a mic) works, but the built in mic fails on calls.
Should I try Odin back to Gingerbread and start totally fresh, do you think it's a hardware fault on my end, and has anyone else had the com.android.phone FC like i have on Helly Bean 4.2.1?
Thanks for reading.

I would try without z-device and if that doesn't work, it could be a hardware issue. I've never heard of a mic that stops working on call but I'll keep looking.

I went back to KK4 again, no z-device, and it still didn't work. I'll crack it open and see what's what. I didn't beforehand because I didn't have the money to replace anything that I could potentially break (thank you, tuition and flimsy ribbon cables)
mic not working
i had a stock captivate and i got to messing with the setting when u hold the volume buttons and power at the same time. and i deleted something that i couldnt get back and after that my mic stopped working. i rooted my phone and flashed the collective 4.1 rom and mic still didnt work
I have no idea what's going on with your mic as it could be a hardware issue since you've had it open recently. However I can tell you about your other issues.
On 4.2.1 hellybean the devil kernel config app does not function correctly whereas the devil kernel manager app does. As far as the issues you encountered after flashing the other devil kernels, that is because those kernels are built for 4.1.2 so they aren't fully compatible.

The only thing I could think is to factory reset and flash from stock KK4 for your mic issue. I'm not sure what you deleted but if you could remember (or at least where it was), that would help.
