I have a Samsung Captivate from ATT with Froyo (Android 2.2). I am using a T-Mobile prepay Sim Card with the phone (no 3G/data plan). I have rooted and unlocked the phone, and initially (for several days) the phone worked perfectly without problems.
I took a trip from the US to Vancouver, and while in Vancouver, I texted back and forth a few times to the US and made one phone call (Rogers Network) without problems, using data roaming. When I returned to the US, my problem began. I can still text without problems, but when I make a phone call, my reception consists of mostly or all static through the earpiece, speakerphone or earphones. The person on the other end can hear me perfectly, but I receive static. I also receive static when I dial up voice mail. My earpiece and earphones work OK with music and voice recordings.
There have been a couple of occasions where the static went away and I do not know the reasons for this (the static later returned). Other than the static, I have no other apparent problems with the phone.
I have tried a factory reset and that did not correct the problem. I also installed the simcard from my husband's iphone, and the problem was the same (static on reception). I was wondering what else I could try to correct the problem. Should I reinstall Froyo? How would I do that with a rooted and unlocked phone?

Hi guys, I'm having some problems with Myn's Warm Donut.
In overall, the phone works great and performs much better than Windows Mobile. But I've been getting some problems with the reception, here's a short story to what happened;
I have two phones dedicated for work and personal, one being my Polaris and the other an old phone. The old phone's SIM card runs solely on 2G network, while the Polaris is fitted with a 3G SIM.
So recently the calls required on my old phone went up, to an extent that I dropped the phone into a bucket of water. So I had to make a call at that point of time, and I've transferred the 2G SIM into the phone and made a call.
The first call was fine, but later on, it automatically disconnects and claims that it's not on a registered network in Android. Several 2G SIMs came back with the same results, but all 3G SIMs I've tested were working fine and never had a network hiccup.
I don't want to merge my contacts onto one number due to my work nature, is there a way to address this issue?
I have a fairly new (less than 2 week old) Skyrocket. The microphone on the handset has stopped working. In all outgoing calls, the person on the other end of the line cannot hear me, unless I go on speaker phone. No noise from the handset.
THis problem started (phone rooted, but otherwise stock) I flashed to NexusMod 4.0, problem still exists, changed to rogers modem, still have the problem.
The odd part is in using Skype, I can call the test channel and the Mic works just fine.
I have also toggled the noise cancelling, and switched back and forth from speaker phone, but the Mic on the handset does not work during normal voice calls.
What do I have to do to fix this???
Odin stock tar
Call att
Ask for replacement
Wait

UPDATE:
Took the phone to AT&T store today. They replaced the SIM card and now the microphone is loud and clear.
Now I just have to figure out why my 4g data speeds won't pass 100kbs today. (included prior to the sim card)

Did they provision your plan for the new lte network?
I have a One S on T-Mobile USA. I had the phone since the day it was released 6 months ago. A wierd noise started 2 weeks ago when trying to dial a phone number. As soon as I hit "call" and even before it starts ringing, you can hear a white noise similar to what you hear on a TV with no signal. The noise will stay throughout the call.
The issue happens the same way on received calls. My wife has a similar phone and no issue on her end. It is not ties to a specific location.
I tried diagnosing it with T-Mobile tech support, and at the end they replace the phone. New phone arrived yesterday and same issue exists!!!! I had the SIM card replaced today and no change.
Any suggestions?
I've had a strange long-term issue where the phone will ring for the party calling in, but won't ring on my end. No missed call shows up. It occurs about half the time with or without WiFi calling on. This issue has plagued me since my Verizon Note 4 with Verizon service, my T-Mobile Note 4 with T-Mobile, and is still occurring on my T-Mobile Note 5.
The only way I know I've missed calls is that I use YouMail's email notification service which lets me know that someone got to my YouMail voicemail even if they don't leave a message.
I thought it had to do with my poor (1-2 bar) service in my rural area but I've had WiFi calling on my past two devices, WiFi always on, and it still happens frequently. For example, I got three calls from my girlfriend while I was home today. Full WiFi signal strength the whole time. Her first call came through fine but the following two I never received any missed call for. The only reason I know she called was because of the email notification I received from my YouMail voicemail service. I have a new SIM card through T-Mobile so I know it's not that as it previously happened with my Verizon SIM and Note 4 while on their network.
Very frustrating. Any idea what is going on?
I can say that T-mobile wifi calling is not stable. It got so bad I had to turn it off and just deal with poor signal.
Hi all, I recently sent my S7 (bought from ebay) to have the LCD replaced. It was working fine before I dropped it but the repair told me they were having issues with the mic that wasn't working so when they checked the IMEI, it came back as blacklisted. They couldn't get any signal and the way they explained it to me was that it was useless as a call making/receiving phone and could only use it on wifi.
I received the phone yesterday and I put my SIM card; not only did I have reception, I had a working 4G signal, could access the internet and was able to receive calls from my colleagues. Only problem was they couldn't hear me and I could only hear them on speakerphone, not through the external speaker at the top.
At home, I tried the Skype bot that lets you set up the mic and all and that was working, again only when I had it on speakerphone. Same on Google, when I say Ok Google the assistant comes up and I can 'voice search' just fine. I can also make calls fine.
So I'm confused. I thought blacklisted means you get no signal, you can't make any calls etc but can a blacklist status disable the speaker/mic when on calls? The repair was about replacing the cracked LCD, could the new screen affect/disable the mic since the phone is not a European model (I got it from a now banned from ebay seller from Hong Kong)? And finally, should I be trying to un-blacklist the phone or fix the mic and the speaker?
UPDATE: I just checked the model number and it's the SM-G930T. The LCD I just replaced is G930F. Could that have anything to do with the speaker not working?
Any ideas/recommendations are more than welcome. Many thanks in advance.
