Just got the new phone and calling all day, there are 2 people that cant hear me at all, but I can hear them just fine. Once it happened in the middle of a call.
Anything that could be causing a conflict? Any fix?
Today, after a week of issuing the phone, one person called me four times in a row and we couldn't hear each other, then I called him back and we had normal conversation. Maybe it its network problem, or something else?

I dont think so as none of my other friends are having the issue and they all have the same carrier
every call I placed recently, after a few minutes it mutes my end and the other person cant hear me but I can hear them
Im running JM5/JM1/JM3
If the firmware is the case, is there a way to downgrade it? I'd rather wait for Froyo official in my area before messing with it
OK I upgraded everything, the pda,modem, and csc and still the same issue.
I know its the phone as I put my sim in my iphone and it works just fine
I keep getting people calling me and hearing just silence when I don't even hear the ring, it's about every second call like that! When my wife with simple nokia doesn't jane any problems.
I get sms from carrier about someone tried to call that's how I know how many calls I miss.

I thought it was some conflict with the sms contacts, but I cleared it and still this issue.
This is the second phone I had. If I cant figure out this weekend, I think ill return it and just go to HTC cause this is just ridiculous. Wiping out the firmware and everything and still this issue...
Maybe its THEM, Sister had same problem with her Iphone 4. Turns out it was her callers at fault as their phones didn't support full Duplex calling or was in a congested area where the towers turned on half duplex calling mode. Theres simply nothing to be done unless you go and pay for a new cell tower

cant be that
iphone 4 works just fine, pop the sim back to the galaxy s and it has the issue.
different towers (as I was out of town last night) and same issue and calling people in other cities..
and its only if I call them. If they call me, it's just fine
Buggy firmware or faulty phone.

cant be the firmware as it was the same with the old one.
faulty phone possible, but since I flashed it, how could I still get it repaired on warranty?

Flash it back to the original firmware, you may need to use Odin and search samfirmware.com for the original one.

Ill see, but I dont think they have my operator one.
I don't know if this is me or really I found the hardware bag but I noticed that all signal loses occur when my phone sits in my pocket face outward way. Also when I keep it in right palm at the bottom part of the device, I see signal drops by two three bars, look like there is antenna placement problem, or the device was designed for left handed user.

I dont know.
I think Ill return the phone tomorrow or send it for service. I had the provider check, and there are no cell tower issues, so it is my phone and it's only to one or 2 people I frequently call.
My provider firmware isnt on the website.
Is there a way to downgrade to one where Kies can automatically install a new one?
OK so I've been playing a game with the service center.
First attempt - sent it off for service with explanation. They put a new firmware on and thats it.
I tested it at the shop, and same issue.
Sent it back - attempt 2.
They ran some tests and didn't find anything wrong with it. Got it back yesterday and used it for about a hr before the same problems came back.
I sent it off again to a different service center. Hopefully they will find out whats wrong.
I still have the issue where the other party with either not hear me (every so often) or after a minute it will do it.
I don't know what to do. The service center claims theres no issue, but I do have the issue. I can't return it as here in Poland there is no buyer protection.
Do I have any recourse? Is there a way to brick it where they need to send me a new phone? is there any hope left for the phone besides a new paperweight?
Oh and it isn't because I don't know how to hold a phone. This happens when I'm using bluetooth and never touch the phone to answer the call
I have the Bell i9000M unlocked and used with Rogers SIM. Nothing else has been done to the phone besides installing apps (got the sd corruption on my first i9000m after using Odin and didn't want to go through that again).
Haven't had any problems for over two months but in the past week, I have dropped calls and could no longer make calls again until I restarted the phone. I have dropped calls before (there's always a couple of areas on my drive home where I drop calls using any phone) and have always recovered. But just this past week, I can no longer make or receive calls after a dropped call.
Sometimes the status bar shows the blue circle with a slash, but that changes to white bars. But even with bars I can't make or receive calls. When I check *#0011# it doesn't show that I'm attached to a network.
I can go to an area with strong signal and leave the phone for hours but still cannot make calls. The only solution for me is to restart the phone.
Anybody have this problem and know how to fix it? I've been searching for days but haven't seen a solution.
Thanks,

I had the exact same problem on my first 2 I9000M's. The only thing I ever found was to replace them. It was annoying as hell and made the phone impossible to use sending or receiving calls. the second one was JH2 with the 3BR fix. Texting was perfect as was the internet (3g).
I searched and searched as well. But I was talking with a bell guy about it and he said it may have to do with an IMEI issue they have a master ticket open 3449667. I know you are on rogers now, but hope that helps in some way.
Thanks, it is very frustrating and dangerous since I'm usually driving when this happens. Unfortunately my 60 days are up and I can't get a replacement. There must be a way to fix it since it was working before. Maybe a SIM issue? I'll keep searching and hoping and if nothing, then I'll do a reset before sending for repair.

Just to update, I got a new SIM card and I don't have the problem anymore.
Dear users,
So 2 months ago I returned to Europe from USA. I bought an AT&T Captivate over there and since it could not be used over here, I unlocked it. But after unlocking the phone I noticed an very frustrating problem :
When someone calls me there are absolutely no problems no mater how many times they call.
When I call someone the first time everything is also ok.
But when I try to call someone after I already called once, there is no sound. I can't hear absolutely nothing and neither can the person that is beeing called. Not a sound, not even the "beep...beep" sound (sorry, i don't know how it's called in English) when you are making a phone call.
So basicly I have to restart my phone after every time I call someone to be able to make a call and actualy speak to them, and then restart again.
I hope I described clearly what the problem is. Is there some way I can fix this because it is extreamly frustrating ?
P.S. i'm using Froyo OS.
The Froyo build is Beta - so it could be your problem. Also, the Captivate is still an AT&T phone, so even though it is unlocked, it may not like the network you are using.
You could try the following:
1. Different SIM - different provider
2. Roll back to 2.1
ive got a xt862 flashed with the chinese gsm radio and the modified build.pro.
im running minimoto.
early morning yesterday,i had to call 911 for an accident and after a few mins it said "no gsm/umts" and switched to global,this was probably the worst time to have phone issues.
the signal bars went away and there was the triangle symbol,after a minute,the bars came back and it seemed to be in global mode and i recalled 911,after about 2 minutes,same issue.
just want to put this out there,worst time for phone problems is when you need to call for an ambulance and people are hurt.
is it just the rom or the build.prop? obviously this one is hard to test out as calling 911 for no reason is a crime.
hate to bump my own thread but this is kinda important and i hope people see this...
anyone else had this issue?
So I bought my Note 5 N920K off eBay. The first few days it worked fine. I would say the first few weeks. Then one Saturday I was on a call and suddenly I could hear the person on the other end. I tried to call back but when the call connected, there was still no sound. I toed another phone and completed the call. I then tried to call VM as a test call. I could hear the welcome note in the first 5 seconds and then it just went quiet. I tried this again and the same results, I tried the SIM card in another phone and it worked fine. I tried another SIM card in the note and same problem. I know of someone who had a Galaxy S5 G906k with similar issues but it went away eventually. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to if this may be a HW or a SW problem?
Any assistance would help. Let me know if any additional info is required to assist.
i believe somehow related to kernel problem. I got the same situation here. It will be solved by flash stock firmware via odin.
you can find stock firmware in below link:
