[Q] Cannot hear or talk during a call

Hey guys,
so recently I rooted my 2-week old Incredible S, and I installed Cyanogen on the phone. Everything works flawlessly, except for the fact I can't hear or talk when I or someone else makes a call, it's just awkardly quiet.
I can make the call though, but the clock keeps on ticking without me hearing something. All sound is on maximum and speaker-mode doesn't help either. Nor do I block the microphone or anything like that.
I tried everything like removing battery, SIM-card but even a factory reset didn't work. When I call with Skype it does work, I can talk and hear. Other applications that use sound or voice also work.
Does anybody have any advice?

Since CM7.1 is a Gingerbread ROM, you now need to flash a Gingerbread radio, too.

So that's it? Oh god, I'm relieved! I already spent hours and hours on the internet searching for some bug or faulty app.
Thanks for the fast reply!

Hm, so I finished installing a new Gingerbread radio on the phone by using some of the links on this page. Now I can't connect to any service or mobile provider.
Am I doing something wrong again? I already tried almost all of those gingerbread radio's.
EDIT: It seems like the problem fixed itself. All that was needed was a simple reboot, and now my connection is way better than before.
I'm glad it's finally working now!

When you first set up CM 7, which service provider did you pick? Have you tried running the CM 7 setup again or do a system reset to force CM 7 to go through the setup again?
Is this a branded IncS and if so, which carrier?

Mic not working periodically

So my microphone seems to not be activated for periods of time, and I can't figure out what causes it, or really even how to fix it.
For example, today at work I was able to make calls for several hours, but after getting off I made a couple more calls that failed because the other party couldn't hear me.
Sometimes I can start Google Now voice search with a 'google', but after I make one voice entry, I can't make another one, and the next time I manually press the voice key it won't pick up any sounds at all. Even Shazam has problems with the mic sometimes, showing no equalizer bars whatsoever.
I thought this was a hardware issue because I thought it started one day (about the 3rd day I'd had it) after I dunked the phone in the sink, but in the diagnostics app the mic seems to do fine.
Is anyone else having this issue? It's really starting to get on my nerves. I guess a factory reset is in order?
I'm also having trouble finding any consolidated info on this issue; threads seem to trail off without any clear solutions.

hey,
im having some problems withthe mic as well, the other party cannot here me here and there and Ive read some forums that it might be software. also there was a solution on installing different home program and not use xperias Launcher. so hope this will help till KIT KAT is here

I'm having the same issue. Didn't see an answer here so I looked on the Sony product support website, and there a few suggestions were made:
- use a factory SIM, not a scissor-cut SIM card
- update the firmware to the latest version
- turn off "Microphone noise suppression."
link to the sonymobile website where I got this info - http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1/Microphone-issue-Xperia-Z1/m-p/450153/highlight/true#M6457
Time will tell if this worked for me. Let me know if you found a solution, or if this worked for you?

Good chance here to solve the problem. You can perform a factory reset after update as well or even now, this process sometime fix small issues.

is there any way to change from primary mic to make secondary mic use in calls? Like some build.prop tweak?

In build.prob there is no way to do that. To switch them I think you have to hack the kernel. Hacking kernel can be done on Custom one and for all this you have to have Unlocked Bootloader. Who can hack a kernel, just a Master.

Thanks for answer. I am on CM11 right now and custom kernel so it can be made if someone know what to change in kernel

[Q] Magicjack I can hear others in a call but they can't hear me

Hi all,
I hope you can help me out with this, I've been looking a lot for a while in google and found no answers so my frustration led me to post on this forum. Here is the situation:
Back on 2013 I had the Magicjack app installed on my Moto X XT1058 (AT&T) stock android 4.4.2, I believe the app version was 2.7.710.1 or 2.6.661.3, and it worked fine. After installing latest versions, when I made a call I could hear the others but they couldn't hear me, I thought it was due to a magicjack compatibility issues, but all the subsequent versions didn't work either, so I had to keep using the older version.
Yesterday I factory reset my phone and installed the most updated Magicjack app hoping the problem would be solved but still the same issue, so I tried to install the old version but now it crashes immediatly once I open the app, so I cannot use the app anymore. I've been surfing in google hoping someone has the same problem but can't find anything, so it seems I'm the only one with this issue. I'm hoping someone had the same problem and found out how to solve it.
Thank you very much.

I use magickjack and had the same problem. I found a workaround. When you make the call press the speakerphone button to turn it on. Then press it again to turn it off. After that it works perfectly for the call. However it's not permanent. I have to do this every call I make.

Thanks a lot man, such an easy solution... In any case its weird this happens on moto x, i live with my two brothers, one with S3 the other with Nexus 5 and they don't have any issues... Anyway I don't mind pressing the speaker each time, thanks again!!

I am experiencing a similar problem with my ACER Wifi only tablet ( no sim version). Any suggestions please.

[Q] Urgent help required regarding HTC One microphone

Ok so the reason this is urgent is because i purchased a 2nd hand HTC One off of Amazon and i seem to be having issues with it's mic during calls, if the issue can not be fixed by myself then i need to ask the seller for a refund ASAP.
Today i tried calling someone only for them to tell me they can not hear me during the call, i switched to speaker mode and everything was fine.
I assumed the bottom mic was faulty so i tried recording my voice with easy voice recorder and covered the top mic on the back, i was surprised to find that the bottom mic recorded my voice with no issues and it was ust as loud as my moto g which has zero problems with calls (the htc one was clearer).
I have done a search and it seems quite a few people have this issue but it's usually a busted mic, surely that can't be the case with mine or could it? I have tried cleaning it out with a toothbrush bristle.
It's fully stock unrooted and on android 4.4.3, i have done a factory reset 3 times already

I just tried it and i think it made a difference, it's too late/early here to call anyone so i tried calling my moto g and while i can hear my voice on my moto g it is still very quite and muffled if i hold it normally next to my ear, if i speak right in front of the bottom mic it picks up sound loud and good.
Anything else i can try now other than having to return the phone back to the seller? Reviews say the call quality is great but right now my moto g is at least 5x better call quality wise

Anyone? I keep trying to test it's bottom microphone by recording my voice and it seems to work perfectly and i actually noticed it works a lot better (louder and clearer) than my moto g after i cleaned the mic out with a toothbrush but it's still not working properly in calls

When did they push it out? I'm running the latest software according to my phone and the issue persists. I didn't think to try calling before updating from 4.3 Jellybean so no idea if it's just an issue with the latest software or a deeper issue with the phone

I spoke to HTC and they made me run the mic diagnostic test and they told me it's unlikely a hardware issue as it works fine in other scenarios (like you my mic works everywhere but in calls).
It's shocking that HTC would allow their software to cripple the phone's call quality, I'm on 4.4.3 software number 6.16.61.8 and my phone is saying I'm already running the latest update. I'm not sure how long this version has been out and why HTC haven't fixed it yet, they were my favourite phone manufacturer (started off my smartphone experience on htc phones) but after owning the One I'm not sure if i can say that they are anymore.

Did you guys even bother searching the forum? This has been covered tons of times.
As for your device saying it is up to date, that depends on the carrier. Not all carriers push updates as fast as others.

I searched this forum and many others and you're right, this topic has been covered hundreds if not thousands of times and the usual answer is get your phone replaced. If there is nothing physically wrong with the phone then a replacement will most likely not fix the issue either.
The other causes and fixes i have seen are dusty mic-already cleaned them, factory reset-done more than once, blow in sim tray-done, turn off voice privacy - don't even have that option, root then tweak build prop-dont want to risk losing the warranty plus i can't imagine HTC forcing their customers to root their phone in order to be heard on the phone.
People have been reporting the issue as early as a year or so ago, surely software updates should have fixed it by now? You've got a point with carriers not pushing updates as fast as others so let me know what version the fix is in so i know if it's later/earlier than the one i have. If you know of a method i haven't yet seen then please let me know or just send me a link to that thread, thanks.

It only effects roms that run HTC sense. IT doesnt bother AOSP based roms.

I tried that method after i was advised to do so at the beginning of this thread, i didn't wipe cache/dalvik though so will try that now.
The OP's issue is a little different from mine, he couldn't hear other's as well as other's not being able to hear him, in my case however i can hear others perfectly but they can't hear me to well unless i point the botton mic right in front of my mouth and talk in to it. I suspect it's due to the noise cancellation being way too aggressive as covering the back mic helps a lot.
Any idea on the software number which HTC pushed out the fix with or is it on that same thread?

I know it is o the last update HTC pushed less then a month ago. Check the development section. There should be a link to the newest update. I am not completely sure as I stopped using sense based roms years ago. So I never faced this issue.

Thanks, i will have a look in there now.
If it's only come out less than a month ago then it's likely i don't have it yet as the phone is an EE one (i unlocked it with a code from ebay and using it with a different sim now).

I couldn't find that much in the dev section so i turned to Google and yeah like you said there is a known issue with calls which HTC promised to fix ASAP last month, however It seems that the issue reported is that the caller (calling from m7) can't hear the other party and the other party can't hear them which sound's different from my issue.
I found the version with the supposed fix and it's 6.10.531.10, my one is running on 6.16.61.8. I'm guessing mine is actually running an even later version? If that's the case then it sound's like I'm screwed

Odd that your is newer then the official released build. Something sound really odd about that. Wish I could help more. I would try and see if anyone posted just the fix that was included. I know some had a files that could be flashed. You could always try running gpe and see if that fixes it. But you will lose sense

I'm going to call HTC again tomorrow and ask them what the newest version available in UK is, they didn't ask for the software number when i called earlier they just told me to check if any later one is available to download.
I would love to run GPE on my One, i thought i would like the new version of sense (haven't had an HTC phone since my desire) but i really do prefer stock Google rom especially if sense will have issues like the one I'm having now but i don't want to risk losing my warranty or mess anything up especially at this stage, once I'm certain the hardware is 100% fine then i will probably unlock bootloader and flash a custom rom.

I had the same problem that popped up three weeks ago along with many customers due to the before recent OTA upgrade
Tried to delete/erase cache/disable etc... Google frameworks services, and HTC speak services.
Tried factory reset a few times etc.... NOTHING I found as a solution online worked.
I waited for HTC second update for the OTA. Tried downloading it more than ten times.
Once after a factory reset, once after disabling google framework services, once after disabling htc services, once after disabling all, once in safe mode (disabling all apps),once after removing the last five apps i downloaded when the issue happened....nothing worked.
When I install the update, it goes to around 30% and a red exclamation point appears. the install stalls and it reboots with the old firmware and the problem stays (cant hear the caller, they cant hear me).
During install and stalling I pressed the power button and down volume, the error messages appeared:
HTCspeaklite.apk files are not recognized (or something like that). So the app is corrupted! and the installation files don't recognize it to update it. Installation stalls and reboots.
I searched for the stock htcspeaklite.apk zip file, rooted my phone and tried pushing it over the stock files.
When I booted the phone, it kept rebooting in a loop. Did not work!!
That's when what I had left: I erased everything and installed a custom rom (you can re install a stock rom if you prefer) on my phone.
Now everything works great except for the bluetooth pairing. So I may re install another rom soon.

Here's the stand alone fix posted by Venom Team > http://venomroms.com/venomhub-fix-no-sound-calls-htc-one-m7/

Can't Hear person on other line, vice versa

So I was talking with someone on the phone at night and when I ended the call, I put my phone on charge and went to sleep. The morning after, I tried to make a call, the dialer rings, but right after the other person picks up, they cannot hear me, nor can I hear them. Aside from the stock dialer app, I have tried using google's dialer app, but it crashes instantly after allowing permissions to my contact and dialer access. I have tried reflashing radio as well as kernel which didn't seem to solve the problem.
I had this problem a month back when Nougat image was first released (this problem happened when i was unrooted as well), I factory resetted the device which solved the issue. I am currently on PN 10-25-16 build and the problem has returned, has anyone had this same issue or know of any fix. I really don't want to reset to factory as of now as it's too much of a hassle to re-setup the device and what's to say that the problem will come back one month later, looking for a permanent fix. (maybe it has something to do with the google dialer app crashing instantly after opening?)
Also I am on Verizon
