Hi,
I own a SGS for almost 2 and a half years and been changing roms since forever and never saw something like this which leads me to wonder if its hardware.
I was with Slim Bean 3.1 for some time (and the latest compatible Semaphore kernel) when this started happening. Note that I didn't change a thing regarding system settings between everything being ok and this happening. Randomly, I receive a call or call someone and can't hear a thing. The other side can't hear anything at all as well and I can only solve this by rebooting the phone. If a reboot solves it (until it happens again) I thought it could be software wise. So I updated to Slim Bean 4.2.1 RC1 + latest Semaphore (full wipe). Thing is, it continued to happen. Plus, when I'm able to talk to someone on the phone, they say they can hear their voice (echo). I tried using headphones to check if the issue was with the speaker but that doesn't solve it either.. Not a sound through the headphones. The phone rings if I get a call and the call goes through if I make it but neither me or the person on the other side hears a sound.
I know this is something that is probably hard to diagnose but, please, I need help. I'm tired of needing to reboot the phone almost every time I want to talk on the phone. Any idea?
Changing rom?

The Slim Bean version changed and AOSP version changed as well from 4.1 to 4.2.1. Plus, that started happening after being with the same rom for a while. That's why it doesn't make sense to me that it could be the rom.
I have this problem to on my sgs but with cm 10.1,any solution?

I had this problem on my epic and comes to find our it was because of the Google voice app. Even after I uninstalled the app my account was still active and I had to go on the pc to fix it. Once my phone wasn't linked to Google voice the issue went away. How this helps

Some days later, I removed the battery, cleaned the SIM card and pressed the ear speaker area using my thumbs on both sides of the phone. I don't know if that was what fixed it or if there was anything to be fixed. Truth is, it never happened again.

Is there any way to increase the in call volume on the Bionic using the default rom rooted? I love the phone but have been having trouble hearing people on the thing... Which is a problem since, at the core, it is a phone after all...

Hmm. You have used this one with the stock rom and it worked? I tried it but it did not seem to have any affect. Maybe I did not change the right setting. I'll give it another go. Thanks!
Np I have a custom rom. There are also other ones you can try too

This one says it does in call
sent from my sense on crack MT4G Slide using xda premium
I've just gotten off the phone with a second-level tech at Verizon who said that variable call volume will be addressed in the next Bionic software update. He also said that it's currently in beta, and will drop Mid-November.
That's really great news. Hopefully it fully fixes the problem.

Go to notification Widgets in CM settings. There is an option to enable or disable the lock screen. Try that....

Mine was gone after some time.
I believe there was some conflict with some app, and with regular update it was gone.
For you i may suggest get a lock screen app from play store wait for some time, i hope your problem will be solved.

if not resolved by activating or deactivating from the options, you have to review the newly installed applications they can be the source of the problem.

I have the same problem, it's a bug from CM7.2, There is a fix in the milestone version, i've got a defy, but i can't find the file to modify, maniac103 made a fix in that rom
My wifi is acting strange last days. The down arrow is always blinking. When switching to 3g this is not happening, so no app issue i suppose. Using speedmod kernel. Its happening on two different routers I have at home. Have surfed the internet, but could not find a clear solution. Any ideas?

Is it possible that the wifi scan is going on?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
There can be 2 reasons for that..
1st-> Under Software Update option Auto Update is enabled with Wi-Fi only mode.
2nd-> In Play Store go to Settings and see if Update over Wi-Fi only is enabled or not.
Think this will solve your problem.
Thanks for your help. I tried it. I even installed a complete vanilla Rom and kernel. I suspect it is a scanning problem because the frequency and behaviour is almost the same as when i am at the wifi scanning settings menu.

As per the above discussion, it seems to be the wifi scan that goes on after a certain interval of time (15 sec)...
"may be it can be fixed by changing wifi.supplicant_scan_interval value to a higher value" in the build.prop file.
rom toolbox pro helps you do this...
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=15 and change it to your desired value wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=90.
just to let you know .. i tried this once by directly changing the values using ES text editor but then phone dint boot.. i had to do a nandroid restore...
so in case you wanna experiment... make sure u have a working backup.... (nandroid)

It is against the forum rules, that you agreed upon when signing up for this website, to bump before 24 hours of no activity.
See above, you can bump posts after 24 hours, understand you are experiencing issues, try google to see if other folks outside of XDA have had similar issues.
I did google first thats why I ask is it a hard ware issue

It's not hardware for sure.
First, are you on latest Helly build?
2nd, did you try on stock or with another ROM?
Yes am on the new hellybean and I can't go to stock cause I can't get back in to recovery if I go to.stock my power bottom broke so if I went to stock I could not get back in to it useing 3 botton combo. And I had used another rom the avetaer rom sorry for spelling thats when it started it when I used that one then I switch To hellybean. Still the same thing it's wierd camera works but not cam when I try it close out on me and my power botton is remap to my home botton thanks for telling me its not hardware

Just a general post to see if those of you who got the update to work, if you really think it's worth it? Is it one step forward, two steps back? Are you happy that you updated or sorry you did? No, this post isn't necessarily a question post, just one to get people's opinions on the update in one place and not scattered between a few threads. Mods, if you feel this is redundant, that's fine. I'm just trying to generate some activity and input from the users on the update.
I did it and it seems a lot smother. But then I cf-autorooted and restored a nandroid of carbon rom. Don't know why but I seem to get better service.

When clicking on Google search to open Google now, it will randomly force close. It starts to load my cards, then shuts down. I've cleared app data and same results. Happens randomly. Anyone else?

Works fine when first opened as in your screen shot, set it up and then open it and kill the app then try and reopen it. Half time closes on me. Un installed latest and reverted to previous update and works fine.
Odd thing too, is it doesn't do this in landscape mode only portrait.

I usually try to avoid statements like this because of placebo, but TW seems a lot snappier.
Also the new 3G and 4G icons are really nice. The keyboard enhancements are really nice.

I think the reason I like them so much is because my eyes suck, so I can finally tell the difference between 3 and 4 now. Haha!

3g icons suck big time. Looks like smeone took the small one and streched it in photoshop. Regarding benchmarking i scored this on antutu which makes me wonder how cheatfull is samsung on benchmarking. Am on stock 4.3 and rooted.
Agreed. The 3G icon looks aweful!!!
There are more fonts to change the phone to. Mobile Data is missing from the drop down. Reading mode was added. GSM data roaming was opened up while all roaming was turned off. It does feel much smoother.

You can update and keep root... I odined back to mf9 and used cf auto root to gain root access back. I then went into superSU and checked survival mode(keeps root even after ota). After that I downloaded the update and put it on my sd card. Once there I went into stock recover uodated from sdcard and now I have 4.3 still rooted.
