Nobody can hear me!!

I have a Samsung At&T Captivate, rooted and running 2.2 (updated via kies) and during calls people can barely hear me, and sometimes I cut out altogether. I can hear them alright... any suggestions??

mmm try a different modem?

I would first recommend flashing roms to see if it is solved.
If it still doesn't work properly then then it into at&t for a new one

Maybe your microphone didn't work test out by calling *#0*#
Sent from my captivate running firefly!

I can't return it to At&t as I bought it off ebay and am using it on the Canadian Rogers Network. I don't have the original receipt for it so returning it is out of the question.
I tried the *#0*# and it didn't give me an option to test the mic...?
I'm a little unsure about flashing roms as I don't entirely understand the mechanics of it and from what I here if you don't know exactly what you're doing you shouldn't try it. Plus I've got the phone working the way I want it (all the At&t crap is deleted, all the apps I like are installed).
This is not the only problem I've been having with this phone. I've owned it since August 2010 and experienced random shutdowns two months in, as well as crappy battery life. Since Froyo there has also been a lot of lag... I don't know why. I hard reset the phone before I updated and hard reset it after I updated as to make sure I was starting with a clean slate. The sound problem has only been since Froyo, I think.
I started a thread over at Android Forums in the Samsung Captivate Forum... it's about murdering my Captivate =P

Did you get a good price on ebay? If you did I know why, it has the shutdown issue that a lot of early Captivates had. Buying electronics off ebay is dicey at best.
Added: It probably has a modem that doesn't work good on the Rogers network. Suck it up and try flashing a new one to see if it fixes your problem. Modem Sticky

Anyone else have any other ideas about a quick fix for this problem?

International Note NO SERVICE!! Last 2 days, need help asap please!!

So i bought the international Note about 1-2 months ago. It worked fine for the past 3 weeks or so, then since 2 days ago I get NO SERVICE!! Nothing has changed at all network wise. When I go to settings i have no IMEI, no baseband, no sim, no nothing! wtf
I went to att and spoke to couple diff people including a "supervisor" and they basically told me they cant help anymore and I'm SOL. We tried swapping sims from different Notes, different cards, different phones...all the same.
It seems like this happened at the same time att released their Notes?? I asked if att made any network changes since the release and the supervisor said nothing at all.
Also tried factory resets. this is unacceptable to me... I cant keep having these ****ty Android issues... I like the features, but what good does it do if i have no service:??! or that I can't multitask for **** on this piece of crap. I'm just getting so fed up with the whole thing.
I dont really like apple, but I PREFER reliability over dealing with constant bugs and problems and disorganization. That's what this phone feels like... a disorganized mess. Like it was rushed out there... or maybe i should have never bought the euro version
Please if anyone can suggest anything I can do just to get the damn thing working again? I've already lost 2 months of data because I couldnt back **** up and just did a factory reset. I NEED CELL SERVICE BACK!!
Do I need to reload/reflash anything?
Sorry for the rant, just getting tired of this

Send it back for a replacement

i want to know what happened??! piece of junk just quit for no reason. i think it may be att network but who knows... how do they ever get in that state to begin with?
i dont want a "Note" if its going to quit without warning for no reason...there is no support for the stupid international version and the stupid US version sucks balls...this sucks

Hi there,
I'm too on att network and everything is fine. I heard that some issues came up on the made in Korea version, can you check which one is yours? Under the battery does it say made by samsung or made in Korea or by samsung in Korea?

hi brother.

This happening to me on my galaxy S II it was a corrupted efs image http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...s-ii-and-other-samsung-devices-in-nine-steps/

Did you try to do a factory wipe or reset while on ICS? Your internal sdcard might have gone bad, the infamous eMMC bug of the ICS... since your IMEI is gone, as kord suggested, most likely, your ems partition is corrupt.
If indeed your ems partition is currupt, there is nothing much you can do other than send it in to claim warranty.

"SIM Card Added - please reboot" Message

Long OP short,
This issue is annoying, at least for those of us who're facing it.
Frequency of occurring:
-occasionally, 1~2 days device on time ( in my case, some reported to have it more frequent )
Possible Fix:
-Disables locations ( works for some, but not me, still getting it in about 1~2days device on time )
-Uninstalling Google Search Update ( works for some, somewhat true in my case, but still pops up a couple more days than usual )
Here's the direct link to a Google Product Forum, with people reporting people facing this issue
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/b-HQZZ_jM74[226-250-false]
Another thread on Reddit:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/1qxj16/my_n5_randomly_acts_like_the_sim_card_was_just/

Finally, someone actually made a thread about this.
I've having this issue too, batch #310k, getting it almost every 1 ~ 24 hrs range, it kind of random, turning off Location seems to help a lil'. WiFi, Data OFF, I rarely use data/wifi, mostly on 2G network for phone calls and sms.

The nexus 5 is the biggest problematic phone I've ever had
Team Nexus 5 sucks

I had the exact same problem and did an RMA. Google asked me to a factory reset, which did nothing of course, and then emailed me a shipping label for the return. I got my new phone a week later. No problems with this one.

Try going back to 100% Completely stock

This is a hardware issue, I had the problem from the second day that I got the phone. If your sim tray is sticking out, chances are that the pins are not lined up against your sim card.
After it got very annoying, I called Google, they confirmed that this was a hardware issue, before I called Google though I tried it with a new sim card and also went fully stock. so after that Google agreed to do the RMA.....
With the replacement phone the sim tray aligns perfectly flush when inserted, it has been now a bit over 10 days since I got the replacement no pop up messages so far.

I don't have that issue luckily, but are there any information about which ones have it, like serial number or building line.

It's hard to say, I'm using the 310k batch, most users who reported are on 310k batch, but some who have gotten their replacement 311k batch and a very few 312k batch are reporting they're still having the issue, like 90min after they first boot their phone with a simcard.
Hopefully it's not a hardware defect, and rather just some software issue with the cellular tower triggering some event on the OS to show that message.

Add me to the list, this just started happening to me.
At this point it happens anytime randomly about once a day.

SIM Card Added Problems too
Me as well. Have a launch day phone (Rev11) 32G Black. Started with the error about two weeks ago. I'm using Straight Talk (ATT). Tried re-seating the SIM tray, blowing out the socket, factory reset, cleaning the SIM card, you name it. I've had it happen on stock 4.4 as well as CM11.
I called Google on Monday after reading the lengthy thread on G+ and after 5 min of troubleshooting, they decided to warranty the phone. The rep I talked with had never heard of the problem. Weird thing is that my wife's N5 (ordered at the same time) doesn't do it at all. She is using T-mobile. Maybe the ATT SIM?
I only hope my replacement is as good as my original. Aside from the slightly loose buttons, my screen was perfect, with no dead pixels or light bleed.
I'll report back when I get it if the new H/W fixes the issue

Hi , i bought this phone 2 days ago and having the same problem . Phone keeps telling me he found a new sim card .

I used to have this problem with a microsim cuted on my past phone (nexus 4) ... at least 1 time in a day i got the message that i have to restart my phone because the new addition of the sim card ... lol ... i didnt bother me to much initially ... i always suspect from "the cuted by myself " simcard coming from my old samsung galaxy nexus , tired of the situation i went to my local carrier and i ask for a replacemtent sim (like 4 dollars), they didn´t ask me too much why i want to change my sim card ... after that , never have that issue again ... i think that the old batches of microsim cards have issues ,
Start changing your sim card before RMA your phone .

I have never had problems about "sim card inserted , please reboot message " after changing my cutted normal sim card , i start with them , after i cut my full size SIM from my GNEX to put in on my new nexus 4 , after two days i start receiving those messages , very after i receive broadcast messages from my carrier (coincidence ? i don´t know) , before start changing roms or kernels (at that time i used to have stock with franco kernel) i went with my local carrier , change the sim , and problem solved , 6 months without problems , next give my nexus 4 to my wife , and buy a nexus 5 put my old sim card , and start using the phone right away without any problems ... i bought my phone at december 28 2013 batch 311K... i have never had (knock wood lol) problems at all. very happy client

Is everybody stopped receiving this error? Maybe somebody has the solution? I am tired of those random sim card added errors
This error appearance is very irregular: sometimes it occurs few times a week, sometimes only weekly.
Is there anybody who is receiving this error with greater then 310k batch?
P.S. I replaced my sim card to brand new, but this did not solve it.
P.S.2. Sim toolkit does not work after this error.

[Q] How many HK owners are having data/voice issues?

A simple "yes" or "no" and where you are located should suffice.
Spent a total of 5 hours with Sprint between the phone and corporate stores since the first day this came out and today I was finally told the truth that all Sprint HK M8 owners are facing data issues.
To be specific(D.C. is a spark area) Every 15 minutes or so, my data/voice will drop regardless of what I am doing and pick back up anywhere between 1x and lte/spark 3-4 minutes later like clock work.
The lady at the corporate store let me see how my phone was in the red(see last pic). I went back to stock unrooted. Downloaded the .15 update. Updated profiles, PRLs, ##72786# data resets constantly and this problem still exists. The best that any representative could do is credit me $30 for my troubles(bull ****). Tried to get a replacement handset and they told me no. No one has given me any sort of "this will be fixed soon". Its always "well.....profile/prl/data updates cant fix this so a technician will look at your local tower"
I'm trying to get a rough estimate as to how many people are having the same problems
Here are pics for reference. This all happened with in 2 hours and continues to happen
http://imgur.com/a/5GeWu
Don't be surprised if you see this on other forums. Kind of going every where to see how many are having issues.

It's your phone. You need a replacement. I had the same issues, went into a store. They replaced my phone. No more issues.

That was my problem. They said they wouldnt swap phones because its not the phone's fault.

Im having the same issues but only when connected to my airrave.

No,
I did encounter issues when I first got my phone......... but did a system update the first day and all issues seem to be fixed ..this update does note that it corrects this type of problem .. on my phone anyway

Might want to have them check the SIM Card Reader. When I brought mine in after having the phone for a week, they told me that the issue were a result of the reader being busted. They replaced my phone right away with no issues since I only had it for a week. From what I hear is that the longer you've had the phone, the less likely Sprint will replace it though.

I'm heading over to the store again today to have them actually look at it.

They finally acknowledged that it is a handset problem. After looking at the service trends again I was red in voice and device was grey(don't know what that means). Crossing fingers that this fixes the issue but also Hoping that this isn't the only solution as it sounds costly

Grey means not enough data collected yet to determine anything.
I'm having bad issues as well as everyone else I personally sold HK and Non HK M8 too something is not right.. I'm to scared to order myself a replacement and not be able to achieve S-Off on it.. But I could buy the 25 dollar app to get it. Anyway Ive asked about these issues no response worth talking about. Hope to solve this soon guys...

Just got an HKE no problems here. I actually get better signal and speeds than on my Note 3. No Spark just LTE

It's a damn shame. Flew through Milwaukee, Vegas, Reno, and am in lake Tahoe on vacation and it's the same **** everywhere.

Flash the roam only mod then the Verizon prl. I'm getting better signal now then when I was with Verizon. I also have an hk m8 btw.

Received my replacement at 11am(EST) this morning and have had zero drops or issues since then. Been at full service in Spark since then.
Will update this thread in a few days with my findings.
Sucks because I am afraid to root/s-off because everything is working but I miss my backups of apps(Ti Backup) that I have been working on for years and hate these damn ads and bloat ware.

Im in the same boat waiting on my replacement tommorow. Im looking at it this way. Make sure you have the latest firmware and there should be no difference. I guessing bad antennas in some and some are just lucky and got a good one. Maybe start a thread Rooted vs Non rooted with signal quality and maybe we can answer our own question?

I have been holding off a Sprint visit for weeks, but after getting voicemails without getting phone calls on numerous occasions, I will have to go to Sprint.
However, after completely unrooting my phone in preparation to go to Sprint, I might not root my replacement whenever I decide to go there.
HTC Backup is excellent, in my opinion, and it really helps we with my lack of Titanium Backup. I don't like the ads either, but I think that it might be time to throw in the towel on rooting my phone. I've gotten more than my share of rom flashes and whatnot.

I was given a replacement due to my original having a bad antenna. Ive had zero issues since getting my new phone
SENT FROM MY ROCKING HK M8

I just as got my second one In less then a week and it keeps showing data connection error or some like that

If you're having trouble with your HTC One M8 download the latest latest network performance test tool.
"dl3 . htc . com/us/sprint/network_performance_test_tool_v0.85.zip" <=== Official website I cant post link currently so remove spaces.
If you get a red screen with NG device you need a replacement. It's a known device problem so charges will be waived.

New radio seems to fix problems
I was having tons of data connection issues with my M8. I recently followed the posts on doing the recent firmware update (OTA for those of you not rooted) and it includes a radio update. The new radio seems to be working quite well and I haven't had any connection issues. Hopefully this works for you guys too.

Amsick you can get into big trouble for that lol

Sounds like you are describing a soft brick.
The only way I was able to recover from such thing is by performing a hard factory data reset,
yet this is usually only used as a last resort.
Hope my tip of the day (or night) helps.

I had this issue since 1st day I use this phone, I have used all 3 different firmware released by Verizon. Before I update to latest firmware. I performed factory reset and wiped all data. then install the firmware by Odin.
still phone is restating randomly, even few minutes ago.

Since you have always had this issue, I am thinking it is just an annoying bug.
I remember having a similar issue with The Droid Ultra. Nothing I did would fix it.
I brought it to Verizon and they replaced the phone no questions asked.
I suggest you do the same.

Thanks for the reply! I bought this phone off the ebay and it is UNLOCKED and I'm using UltraMobile right now.
Do you think Verizon will give me a replacement?

Ten months after I bought the Droid Ultra from Verizon the phone bricked. I brought it to one of Verizons corporate stores and they replaced it no questions asked. Eight months later it happened to me again; they replaced it no questions asked. Since your phone is still under warranty I believe they will do the same for you (especially if you let them know how upset you are).

If it's unlocked you can try, but it would depend if the ESN originated from Verizon I would imagine. They aren't obligated to warranty a phone you didn't buy from them or from a partner store on their network. Your next course of action, I would imagine, would be to send it to Samsung and be out of a phone until it's repaired (if Verizon doesn't work out for you).

Thanks for the reply from both of you! I already contact the Verizon and they said they will NOT provide support since this was purchased from a Third Party.
They suggest me to Trade the phone and get a new one. I bought it for $600 and Trade value is $510.

Sucks that they only want to do a trade-in. I am rather surprised. Losing 90 bucks through a trade-in sounds better than using a phone that doesn't work. It also sounds cheaper than paying a guy to repair any hardware or software issue.

I agree, $90 isn't a bad loss at all. I'd go for it right away before the possibility of a value drop. Best of luck and keep us posted!
