[Q] galaxy s certain people cant hear me

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..

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

No service after dropped 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,
yvrRome

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.

[Q] Issues with calls - mic/sound breaking up?

Hey, guys. You may have noticed me lurking around these parts of xda, clicking thanks to many posts and not posting myself etc. It's because my main phone's not an Ri, but I've been a fan of xt890 for a long time, so I made two of my family members get them. :victory:
However, one of them is making problems. It's the white one, the one that my mom uses. She's having issues where in-call something would go wrong and the person she's talking to would not be able to hear her anymore. At first I thought it was due to the low 3G coverage where we live, making the call bug out while the phone's switching between 3G and 2G networks, so I switched her phone to GSM only mode, but it started happening again. I've experienced this in calls with her, so I know she's not making things up or anything like that.
The phone is running stock JB, has not been unlocked and is still in warranty. But before taking it back to the shop (where it's likely to spend a month or so), do you think there's anything I could try? I already did a factory reset once, it didn't help. I'll try reflashing her firmware with RSDlite one of these days, but I'm not even sure whether that reflashes the radio/baseband stuff?
Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

[Q] Dropped Calls

In the last few days I've had at least one dropped call per day on my S6. It doesn't make any difference if my recipient is on a cellphone or landline nor does it matter if I'm in the car on bluetooth or using the handset elsewhere. I did some searches and found others having the same problem, not so much with AT&T (mine) as opposed to Verizon and T-Mobile. Some say a factory reset cured the problem, but I hate to do it unless I have to. Just curious how others on AT&T are faring. My previous S4 never dropped any calls nor did my HTC M7 so I'm thinking it's not a network issue, but something in the phone itself.

I've never had a dropped call in the month I've had the device. I had my chubby cheek hang up on my mom once last week, but that's as close as it gets. My area gets pretty good coverage for att and tmobile though. I've yet to drop a call since joining at&t

My Black Galaxy S6 Edge 64gb module was dropping calls like crazy, and was still within my exchange period so I switched it out. Haven't had any dropped calls since.

Call and connection quality have been stellar for me. Only dropped calls I've had are when going through known dead spots.

Looks like the factory reset fixed it for me so all is good now.

Have you had any dropped calls since your last post here? I'm having dropped calls often. I don't think a factory reset will help me because I wiped all data before flashing the rom I'm running. I may try a factory reset from within the settings menu if you haven't had any dropped calls since the 15th.

I've only had a couple dropped calls since then, but my problem now is that sometimes the other caller can't hear me, specially when I'm driving and on bluetooth through the car audio. It can't be the other caller because they were on a stationary, land-line phone. I checked out my mic by making a voice recording so the mic is fine. I just tried unchecking "Enable HD LTE Services" and I'll see what that does and report back. If it were not for the very nice camera, the annoyance of the dropped and muted calls plus the bad battery life would be enough to make me switch this phone. It's got to be a device-specific bug. My HTC M9 is running Android 5.0.2 and is rock solid and never dropped a call. Same with my LG G3. I would send in my S6 for repair, but I'm not sure what they would do. Not only would I get a refurb back, but it might do the same thing. If you've been following the threads, you might have seen that Sprint had to push a special update for it's S6 customers to fix dropped calls. Verizon customers are also having it bad (I'm on AT&T). It can't be all network issues though as like I said, my other devices including an LG G3 have never dropped a call.

Thanks for the response rmc69. I did uncheck the HD lte and it did not help me at all. Let me know if you have a different result. Thank you

The Sprint S6 and S6 Edge have the same problem. I have to turn off the LTE radio all together to have a usable phone. I couldn't send/receive text, I had dropped calls and a very poor signal. Once I turned the LTE radio off, all those problems went away. I realize this is not a fix but it's a workable bandaid for those that are having problems. Good luck to you guys.

Turning off lte did not work for me.

Robert, how did you turn off LTE? By going into the testing mode and changing it from there? Or were you simply referring to unchecking Enhanced LTE Services?

I think I figured it out from this thread, at least for AT&T

I tried that, it did not work for me.

Sorry turning off LTE still didn't help. I guess the only alternatives now would be to wait for 5.1.1 and see what it fixes, or you may just consider asking for a replacement.

Yeah that is what I'm afraid of. Every time I go to the at&t store it's a big hassle. Hopefully an update will fix our problems.

@rmc69, is your phone rooted and running a custom rom?

No; pure stock. It's also a 64 GB model. I'm wondering if there is a difference that could affect reception, i.e., is the antenna placement exactly the same. I changed my band to GSM Auto last night removing LTE and so far, I haven't had any dropped calls, but it's too early to tell. The biggest problem I'm having is that sometimes callers cannot hear me, especially in the car using bluetooth.

I am rooted running DennisRom. Yesterday I did a factory reset via the stock recovery and made 4 calls and did not have 1 drop. I'll see how it goes for a few days and report back.

Great! That's encouraging.

Bad news, I just called my wife and the call dropped before she could answer her phone. I think I may give up and get a different phone. I'm loosing hope.

Anyone else having issues with there incoming calls? Carrier T-Mobile Interntnl Note5

I have the International Note 5 (SM-N920C) with the Carrier T-Mobile in the U.S, I have had this Device for Over a year now and it always worked flawless, ever since T-Mobile started implementing changes to there System my Calls go straight to voicemail when anyone try calling me, also, when i try making out going calls it takes close to a Minute before i even here the phone start ringing on my end, its weird cause this never happened, and it not my device either, i called T-Mobile and they couldn't help me, Hence, I went on Vacation to Myrtle Beach and toke my Note 5 with me to see if it worked out there (I live in Brooklyn NY) and yes, of Course it started working Flawless again, Im writing this Post in HOPES someone can help me, I have Tried Many Custom Roms and CSC zips to No Avail, Im hoping someone out there went through what Im going through and Found a FIX, thanks in advance, Bless to everyone.. One Love, All we Have is One Life.

I'm having the same issues you're having. I recently switched over to TMobile with a SM-N920C. It takes a while to dial out and some calls are going to voicemail without even ringing. I'm in Jersey City so maybe it's something they're trying out in more congested areas.
I haven't tried any custom ROMs or kernels but I was wondering if it had something to do with Voice over LTE not being supported by the phone out of the box. Have you tried any VoLTE capable ROMs/kernels?

Hey S.G, first off, i got a Kick out your User Name, on another Note, i tried Various Custom Roms and Custom Kernels that allow me to turn on and Off VOLTE, nothing Worked, Like i mentioned in my post, i went on Vaction to South Carolina and my device worked Flawless like it should be working now, I Called T-Mobile and they couldn't help me, all i could ask is for you to also call tmobile to let them now its an issue on there end with the international devices, Now if they get enough calls from different ppl they will have no choice but to fix the issue, Ill do the same... Thanks for reaching out though. This really sucks cause i love this device.

Hi. I have exactly the same issue in NYC... Did you ever find the solution for your Note5?
