Okies, I'm posting this here because I'm not exactly sure what the issue is.
I have been have issues with my cellular radio shutting off and not restarting. For example If i go more than like 3 hours without making or receiving a call it does not receive calls at all until I make a call (which I believe resets the radio?) So no missed calls, just no calls altogether. This seems to be a recent occurrence, ever since I flashed to TTrans Open Touch 3.0, I have since then tried 4.0 and am still having the same issue. I will be reverting to the original ROM tonight but would rather stay with my current one. Any help is greatly appreciated.
*I can spell really I can intermittent*
try using a different radio rom and seeing if that works.

Bumped my radio up to 03.18.90.

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?
Just got a Captivate and I whenever I make or receive calls there's a loud interference crackling sound like an old internet modem UNLESS I set the phone to SPEAKERPHONE. I can make the call and I can hear the other person but it's almost impossible to understand anything the sound is so bad if I don't set the phone to speakerphone.
I've tested skype just to be sure it's not speaker related and I could hear and speak perfectly.
If I play a music or a movie the sound is perfect though.
I've tried a bunch of different roms, modems and carriers to no effect.
ROMs that were tested
CyanogenMod-7.1.0-Captivate, I897UCKF1, I897UCKE3, stock Froyo, Continuum, Mosaic, Milky´s i9000 GB ROM (no interference crackling noise during calls at all, but people could hear me and I could not hear the people. If I plug in the headphone I can hear but I hear with the interference crackling noise. If I press the speakerphone I can hear everything perfectly).
Modems that were tested (via odin AND CWM): kb1, ke3, kh3, kj3, kk2, jl1, kk1, kk2, jh7, kk4, jh2, kf1, jh2, ji6, jj4, kb1, js1, jv6, jpd, jpg, zsjpg
Reflash modem without USB plugged in.

Tried that but at this point I'm thinking it's a problem with the mic/speakers.
Why did you start another thread for the exact same thing?

I've requested the Mods to close the other one so that I could sum everything up here and increase my chances of actually getting some help. BTW, could you please delete your post to keep this thread clean? I will delete my post too.
If it isnt a rom/modem/kernel issue then its hardware. In wich case not many ppl would know how to fix it. I would recommend talking to the seller of the phone or maybe (depending on the age of it) comunicating with samsung for the 1 year warranty thing.
I've tested skype just to be sure it's not speaker related and I could hear and speak perfectly...so I guess at least this rules out hardware malfunction.
Do you guys think it could be something with the dialer?
IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS! I've tested making and receiving calls with the speakerphone on and I can hear and be heard perfectly! It's only when I make or receive calls with the normal settings that the issue occurs.
Odin one click back to stock Froyo. Don't change your modem, restore any settings, or do anything else but turn the phone on. If it still sounds like crap, it is a hardware problem. If it sounds good, it's something you're doing after the install.
Agreed. At a minimum, factory reset the phone from the settings (backup any data before).

It doesn't make sense that I can hear perfectly when in speakerphone and while making skype calls...both use the same hardware.
Could this be carrier related? Even though I have full reception bars when I try to find available carriers it finds all the main ones except mine (VIVO), and it finds a number instead (72411).

That's not entirely true. If it is your earpiece that has failed, it would still sound fine on speakerphone because it is using the speaker on the back, not the one on the earpiece.
It could be your carrier. I assume you're using the right SIM card for your carrier?
As an aside, jumping from thread to thread is making it unbelievably difficult to help you. Please just start a thread and stick with it so those of us trying to help you actually have the information we need to do so. I understand that you think that you are helping us by summarizing the facts, but what you really are doing is getting rid of valuable information that people are trying to use to figure out your problem. Info that you may not think was important (like the fact that you are in Brazil) could actually be the key to figuring it out.
Are you running CM7?

I've tested making skype calls and I could hear and be heard perfectly. That is why I was assuming it was not my earpiece.
I've tested 2 SIM cards from my carrier. Since the phone is unlocked I will try to test a SIM from another carrier to see if the issue persists...though if it's carrier related I'm not sure what I could do.
I'm not using CM7, but I did try it out.

Well there goes my theory then.
Bump..............
I have tried SIM cards from 2 other carries and even though the phone had service the sound issue persisted.

If it persists through flashes to stock and over multiple carriers, I would suspect it's a hardware issue, unless someone has any other ideas.

Although... you could try playing with the frequency bands to see if it gives you better results. On stock, I believe it is *#2263# (if that doesn't work, search around for band selection). This should take you to the band selection screen, which will give you the ability to manually select which frequency bands you are using. You could try different bands to see if it gives you access to something better.
What I really don´t understand is how come this problem doesn´t happen when I make calls with skype (since it uses the same hardware). This is what really makes me perplex about this problem.
Because skype uses the data network and phone calls use the voice network. Also, phone calls would use your audience chip, while skype wouldn't (I don't think anyway). If it's hardware, my suspicion is that you have an audience chip problem. This sounds like the same issue you get when you flash an i897 modem on an i9000 ROM, presumably because the modem is expecting the audience chip but it's not working.
What made me think it was a band issue was that you can't see your carrier with your carrier's SIM in. This would point to your phone not seeing your carrier's frequency band.
If you sort that out and still have static, next you could try flashing an i9000-based ROM (pretty much any GB ROM but Pinnacle, Cognition, or Illuminance) and try that. i9000 ROMs don't use the audience chip at all, so if that is the issue it won't matter.
Hi, I'm currently running CM11, after flashing from stock. Whenever I attempt to make a call, through Hike, Razer, even WhatsApp(ticking sound comes for the receiver) the receiver cannot hear me, but I can hear them clearly. Is anyone facing this same problem? If anyone could, please try it out. It also happened to me on ProuDroid(4.4.4) but for a brief period on which I was on CM12(QuantumLP) the calling on razer worked fine. So I'm thinking it's maybe CM11 roms ?
Might be CM 11/12 issue try searching the relevant threads in the development section and do some research before posting
Same here. Just reboot the phone the problem will be solved.

I have the same problem with a skyrocket running cm11. It happened after I enabled whatsapp calling. Whenever I made or received a whatsapp call the mic would be disabled even for phone calls after that. I would have to reset the phone to restore functionality. I had to go back to an old 2.11.515 version of whtsapp to disable calling. Now everything is fine except for whatsapp calling.

Hope I'm not too late
Folks
Suddenly, I cannot hear anything from my earpiece on calls, nothing even on Bluetooth. The earpiece works fine since I can hear voicemails fine. I know the call goes through because the call timer is incrementing and people are receiving the calls. If I turn off LTE, the call doesn't go through. Can someone help?
Thx
a little more detail please.. what rom? kernel? when did it start? what have you tried? etc..
Chroma Rom, started all of a sudden this afternoon. Tried multiple reboots but didn't help. What else should I try

Try resetting your APNs to default.
Didn't help

Flash a factory image and see if issue persists. Just don't flash userdata if you're concerned about losing data.

Had the same issue on chroma oddly I reset APN and manually out in all the info and it worked again
Can you tell me exactly what you did? Did you reset APN to default? I've already done that. What next?
Thx
