I just picked up my pair today, and I'm already having a minor issue. Everything works perfectly, but I can't hear/be heard when I make a phone call.
I'm hoping that this is a problem with my phone, and not my glass, but when I try to call a friend they can't hear me and I'm unable to hear them. I'm using a rooted SGS2 that's got CM10.1 running.
Anyone run into this, and if so how did you fix it?

Try flash back to the Sammy official rom, it should resolve the problem (driver issue for CM maybe)

This did actually solve it. Man, I'd forgotten how ugly Touchwiz is.

Its just the bluetooth drivers. It works for me in CM 10.1 on a GNex now. Hopefully you can go back to your custom rom
Is it a sprint s2 or all s2 bec its not working on my d710 on cm either so I'll ask the device maintainer to take a look

Hi,
1. So i was on xenon HD and started experiencing touch sensitivity issues where in lock screen did not respond or opened up google now instead of unlocking.
2. So I thought of switch over and flashed PAC and was really satisfied as I also got my GPS working. But the very next day it started to behave unusually and the home button of navbar kept on activating all by itself hence taking me out of any app or even app drawer.
Thought of it as ROM issue and decided would flash the latest version sometime later as my net was down.
3. Used liquidsmooth but the same problem of intermittent home button and back button too started and I had to switch off the phone within 5 minutes of flshing liquidsmooth.
4. Finally thought of getting 4.1.2 and hence flashed holoblur. By this time navbar went numb :crying:. Didn't respond to anything.
5. Restored to the stock ROM. But still navbar is not working.
Just hoping that this is not hardware related issue:fingers-crossed:. Would really hate to part away from this phone.
Please help out guys.
EDIT : So the navbar just started responding by itself. But still not perfect. Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't.

may be a hardware error, contact your nearest store to fix it, before that flash stock and flash boot logo too, so untill they check the bootloader, they might not know your bootloader is unlocked...

Completely flash a stock fast boot. Issue could be kernel related. If the issue persists after a fully wiped stock flash this is a hardware issue. As is, issue sounds more like either bad settings from dirty flashing or kernel issues. The stock ROMs don't come with kernels, if your last 4.2.2 ROM had a bad kernel, same bad kernel is more than likely being used. I recommend flashing Mex Retail.

Holoblur has a clean full working kernal right?

The navbar works fine sometimes before again going into madmode. So i really doubt it is a hardware issue.
@Aingaran : Holoblur has custom kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43430196&postcount=131
@skeevydude : I need to follow the instructions mentioned here for stock JB ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226527 OR simply use myth tools to flash the mexican retail rom zip ?
facepalm: for asking this but is there anything else i need to do ?? )
So flashed the stock but same issue. Now the particular strip of the touchscreen where navbar rests has totally become unresponsive. Hence hardware is at fault here.
So flashed PAC ver 23 and using pie controls as of now as a temporary solution. Would try and get it repaired during weekend. @Aingaran : I guess I need to change screen and digitizer. Since you broke yours can you gimme rough idea how much it will cost ?
Yup.. Its just digitizer LCD panel is fine if you get display... And the kit for replacing digitizer cost me 3770 rs... You can search on ebay.in and don't forget to get T5 screw driver and digitizer sticker to stick digitizer to frame...

Asking because here in delhi noone even touches motorola phones for repair sake.

yes this exactly what you need...
I'm not entirely sure if this is an issue with my hardware or software which is why I'm asking where I should look (or start a thread) first. I've had sound before but now there is nothing, not even crackling or popping. I'm using Cyanogenmod 11 on a Samsung Captivate. I read a thread about loosening a screw near the speaker and tried that (along with a not-so-deep tear-down), but still not a peep (or beep). Something I should mention is that headphones DO work when they're plugged in. Additionally I've done some scouring of the Internet for a fix but I can't find any problems truly similar to mine.
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. It seems to me like you have a hardware failure. Which version of the Captivate do you have? Unbranded or AT&T?
Hi to you too
Thank you for replying. I believe it is the at&t version, although I'll admit I wasn't aware there was a Captivate that wasn't an at&t version. That would be found in the info part of the phone as the model number right?

That's right, and most at&t phones actually have the at&t logo somewhere on the phone, as well as the at&t logo during the boot animation. If it has either of those we can safely assume that is the at&t model, otherwise please let me know what the model number is.

Wow, I can't believe I didn't notice it at the top of the phone, yes it is an at&t model.

Thanks for the extra information. I'm going to have this thread moved to the AT&T Captivate q&a section here:
Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
That way it'll reach the people who are most experienced with your device, so if it is a common bug they should be able to walk you through it. It sounds hardware related to me but lets see what the Captivate experts say.
Good luck!

It does sound like hardware. Have you tried slightly pushing on the speaker? I tends to come loose.
If you have any flashing experience, you can try flashing stock to completely rule out software issue but since the aux works, I'm pretty sure it's hardware.
I have tried pushing on the speaker. The only reason I was thinking it might be a software issue is because I changed some of the settings in what I believe is called dsp. Before I flash it back to the stock software (firmware?) is there any other troubleshooting I could try? Putting Cyanogenmod on it was somewhat of a process and overall I like it. And if it is a hardware problem how much would it cost to fix (not that I have any money to do so anyway )? And before I end this reply, thank you for your help.

You could always flash CM over and that would rule out the system file possibility.
Was the problem there before flashing CM? And I have a neat little guide on how to flash in my "most thanked" posts if you need it to get back to CM after flashing stock.

I actually don't remember if the problem was there or not as I flashed CM on it pretty much as soon as I got it. Can I just start from the "install from zip" process to reflash CM on it? In the meantime I'll see if I can do that without there being any potential problems with bricking the phone etc. And thank you for being patient with me .

Yeah, just flash the ROM zip and the Gapps over your current one. It's called a "dirty flash" and will only wipe your system settings.
I was celebrating St. Patrick's day which is why I haven't replied sooner, apologies. Anyway, I will do that, although I learned from the previous owner that the sound was going out so now I'm 99% positive that it's the hardware. Is it okay for me to mention that replacement speakers appear to be relatively cheap (and possibly easy to install)? And one last question, for the future, is it more polite to leave the quote in the reply rather than take it out?

You should keep the quote, it notices the user you quote and that way, he can reply faster (me in this case).
And yeah speaker replacement is definitely an option. You should be able to find a quick video guide on youtube, I believe it's fairly easy to do.

I put an older CM version (that was under the stable category) on to see if it was the software and I checked with the previous owner to see if the sound was going out (it was). There still isn't any sound so it's definitely the hardware. Now the question is; do I spend money to replace the speaker on an old phone that I don't really need?
That'd probably be a different thread though.
Thank you for your help!

So, I think I know how to replace/install the speaker and I've watched a video or two on the process. Would you have any do's or don'ts, tips, et cetera?
So i rooted my new nexus 6 and installed chroma rom. every thing was fine till i noticed a small part of the screen flicker. it was like a black line coming and going as soon as i took it off charging it was fine. this was after i installed the rom there was nothing like this on the stock one. also when i open the camera app i can hear a small click/ crackle sound. this happened in the stock rom too but with the snapchat app. its irritating and i cant find a fix anywhere. and lastly whats with the network issue? it suddenly comes and goes. i checked it and it showe 0dbm and 99 asu?is this common? tried to find a fix but all i got was lots of unanswered threads. as being a student who need to use this phone for a long time can anyone tell me if all this is fixable ? or do i need to get a replacement as im still in my 30 day return period. thanks in advance and sorry if all this issues are already in a post and have fixes just post me the link as i could find it
being a student who needs the use of the phone for long periods of time.. what are you foing moddifying your device. no custom rom will be bug free. even though whtyever bugs dont bother me, they seem to bug you. why dont you just stay stock with root if those issues are bugging you.

Try turning the incall volume down a bit. I usually have the reverse issue and that squares things away. Might help for your issue as well.

Same issue here, except it's with Salt Mobile here in Switzerland. My impression is that while in handsfree mode, the microphone picks the voice. Looks like a very cheap hardware that is not capable of delivering a proper user experience
