I haven't found another infuse thread with the same issue I have.. so here goes.
I'm trying to determine if I have a phone problem or a me problem. I've now been told on more than one occasion by different people that it's hard to hear me when I'm talking to them on my Infuse. After a few seconds everything seems to normalize and they can hear me again. I thought maybe it was a signal issue, but it happened a third time again today outside of the ATT store where I have a full signal. For as much as I use the phone, I don't talk on it too often. This is why this is a big deal. I might talk on the phone once every other day and if I have these issues as little as I do talk, I'm in trouble if I really do end up needing a reliable phone.
Here comes the question part. Has anyone had any issues with being heard while talking on the Infuse? I'm trying to identify if I have an Infuse problem or a me problem so I can get it swapped out while I'm still within my 30 day period.

I have not had this issue. You should go into AT&T local store and ask if you can test a phone there.
I had a similar problem with the addition of people not recognizing my voice. I took it back to Bestbuy to replace it. He asked if he could look at the sim card first. He pulled it and there was a micro scratch on one of the contacts. He said this has been a problem with 4g cards. He replaced it and the phone works fine now.
Thanks for the reply, I think I'll head over to Best Buy after work and check it out.
Having same issue. Biggest concern when talking to elderly parents. Remember seeing several scratches on card's micro chip. I'll give it a shot

I'm having the same issue... and I'm on my second to Infuse. People complain several times during a call that they cannot understand me...

Based on experience with audio issues, I'd say its a network issue more than anything. scratches on a SIM won't cause calling issues, the rep is telling you this on baseless knowledge from what they think considering the actual SIM chip is under the gold plating.

Would that be an issue solely for 4g sim cards/network? Is voice handled on 4g network or just data?

Baseless or not, after he put a new sim card in last week I have not lhad a single complaint from callers.
I have had some issues but I believe its from samsung's noise cancelling. I disabled it in the call menu and it worked fine from then on

hey,
I bought the nexus s (9023) about two months ago, stock rom, not rooted, and for the last week or two, it started making problems.
about 1-5 times a day, i can't here the other side at all. as if it's on mute. not even the ringing tone, before I'm answered. the only thing that solves it, is to restart the phone.
in other forums i've read that it's a mess, and that i should use my warranty. the problem is i bought the phone abroad, and shipping it should take about 3 weeks.
is it a common issue?
can i solve it alone, mabye by switching to a non-stock rom?
i'll be very happy to read some good news here, but bad news is better than non.
thanks a lot,
tal
p.s, iv'e downloaded system info to monitor the temp, and it doesn't happen necessarily when the phone is hot.
I don't know... I am rooted, I have used 5 different roms since purchasing my phone.
Stock
CM 7
Savaged Zen
Oxygen
Soju
I have also used several kernels
CM Stock
Netarchy
Matrix
James Bond
Trinity
So far, on all roms and kernels I have experienced the same problem. You make a call and it connects, looking at the screen the time counter is going but there is no sound; it will sit there and hold the call for 30-55 seconds then ends call. A quick redial and bam it works. Some people have reported that they answered and there was nothing. I don't know, it's really obnoxious.
The other, more annoying problem is that randomly on calls throughout the day the phone will just reboot itself. Right in the middle of a call. AHHHH like 3-5 times daily!
help, anyone?
i'm stuck with this, and a bit clueless.
Well, somehow I discovered that the problem is related to the bluetooth. as long as it's turned of, nothing will happen, on the other hand, when I use my earphone (most of my conversations happen while driving) i need to restart my phone every 1-2 calls
any ideas?
just u can't hear other one while calling u?
thanks.
so it was in the beginning, but now neither of us can hear the other. no matter who made the call.
and again, only when BT is working.

hehee its problem ,
am really disappointing with nexus s , but i dont have enough money to buy HTC product again.
any solution?
Hi, did anybody have any solution to this problem?
I live this problem on almost half calls of specific numbers.
I am desparate...
Try setting discoverable timeout to never? Have you tried a different Bluetooth device?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I have this problem too. This seem to happen on some Kangs and nightly, but not all of them. I can't hear when someone calls me. But when I call someone, I can hear them. I always have Bluetooth off (do not use them).
I live the same problem. No problem for outgoing calls. For incoming calls, I cannot hear caller's voice but they can hear me. It is not for all numbers.
I am on t-mobile and nexus s (cynagenmod nightlies). For all incoming calls from tmobile numbers no problem. But for almost all other carriers, it is just random.
I feel like I started having this problem after updating from CM 7.0.2 to 7.1 RC and thereafter(but not very sure on this).
If anybody still following this topic, I would suggest you to contact samsung if you still have warranty. On the second attempt they sent me a brand new phone with box and accessories.

Or, you might give it a try with a different radio for your model:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
If you go this road, make sure you backup your EFS folder.
What i would do is if it is still in warranty just give it back to them and they'll probably give you a new phone. Since you said it takes 3 weeks to ship, just wait for it and use another phone if possible. Its not like your life is going to end. I think the problem is, not every phone is the same so there will be problems especielly when flashing a rom. For example unstable roms might not allow you to use this app or have serious effects on your phone.
Best to give it back to samsung and get a replacement.
I have noticed that some of my calls are not coming through. The past few days people have tried to call me, but said they got a busy signal. The phone never even rang. I also got an email today from a potential employer who said they called twice today... The phone was sitting on my desk right in front of me all day, and nothing. Is this happening to anyone else? What can be done to fix it? Im not in a place where im not getting service so I dont understand why its doing this?
Also, the other day I was having car issues and needed to call someone, when I went to call someone the phone showed the dialing screen, but never started to ring. I tried hanging up and redialing, but nothing worked. I had to shut down my phone and restart it. I can only imagine what would have happened if I really couldnt call out finally....
Really starting to hate this phone.

It sounds like a reception. Do you have good signal? What about Wi-Fi calling?
I have never had that and have had nothing but the sweetest reception, I do get dropped calls but that's T-mobile for ya.
All day I have between 3-4 bars of service, so im not sure what the problem is
Im also having trouble calling out. Ill dial the number, and the phone will beep and disconnect the cal. I have 3 out of 4 service bars....

Try replacing your sim card? Or if you're on stock then call T-Mobile might be a hardware issue.

Do you think switching to your rom might help? I want to try it but I'm waiting for the final version. I did have my sim replaced a few years ago by T-Mobile. I know they had to transfer all my stuff on to a new one. I have one laying around, is there anything I need to do to get it to work? Like switch my number to it?
You might want to try cleaning the metal contacts of your sim card with a pink eraser.

If you're on stock I think your best bet is to either get sim replaced before flashing cus if its a hardware issue then you will have to get it replaced.
As for the sim card if it's new then just call them and they'll activate it if it's used before then it won't work anymore and you'll have to buy one

I called Tmobile a few weeks ago and had them activate a new sim card I had. Didnt have this issue until just today when I tried to make a call and got "call ended" everytime I tried to call out. What else could the problem be? Im running your rom now also...
Is anyone else having this issue? Its getting really annoying! I had to dial my friend 5 times before it actually went through.
Found this thread where it describes perfectly whats going on with my phone.. http://forum.xda-developers.chttp:/...editpost&p=29453252om/showthread.php?t=630652 Seems like Gingerbread phones are experiencing this more...

Yeah, I just didnt want to do the "call tmobile and sit on the phone with them for an hour to troubleshoot" crap... Ugh...
Called Tmobile and they ended up screwing my phone up even more with their "troubleshooting" Told me to do a factory reset, but since I have a custom ROM, it just screwed more up. Now I cant even swipe past the unlock screen and there is no reaction to my touch. At least its finally screwed up enough to get them to send out a replacement. Now im trying to revert back to complete stock so I can send this one back to them when my new one arrives. So I guess problem solved in a way..

if you are familiar with the call echo bug on the samsung galaxy s2 (hercules) you know what im talking about.
the s2 from tmous have call echo bug when you are using a port rom and sometimes on cm9
you dont hear the echo, the person you are talking to hears it. and now i am experience the same issue with my sensation running viper s 1.1.0
but my question is why.. I can understand the s2 because it uses something called noise reduction.
I done hard reset and reflash the rom but the echo comes and goes.
do you guys think it have something to do with my sim card?
never had this issue. try using another ROM, see if the problem still occurs.

I'm still looking the forums to see what rom catch my. just got the sensation ''again'' a lot of new stuff around, also if the problem still occurs then I may have to change the sim card
Every now and then I will get the echo you are referring to. It's almost as you hear yourself talking while you talk. It is very annoying. For me it doesn't happen often but it happens. This even happens to my daughter and she's stalk using sg3 brand new device. I'm not sure what causes it but somehow I think it's related to the connection. Not really the Rom . Otherwise it wouldn't happen to my daughter's device also because she's completely stock. Not convinced the sim card has much to do with it. It also happens to my mom who is using a generic device. Does it happen to you constantly? Or randomly? I might talk with my provider to see if something can be done at there end.when it happens to me, if I hang up , then call again, establishing a new connection It's gone. This is one reason I always thought it was a connection issue. Several people I know experience it from time to time. But if it's happening to you constantly, then defiantly something needs to be done about it! It is rather annoying. If you do find out exactly what is causing this please post about it as I'm also curious about the cause. It doesn't happen enough to me to be a issue and I've always chalked it up to bad connection but if you do find the reason for the issue I'd be interested to know the answer. Best wishes.

I get called echo sometimes on tmobile. If you're getting it with a specific rom, try checking the amr wideband setting in the build.prop for that rom. If I enable it, I get echo 100% of the time.

I had never have this issue before, ever since I got the s2 everybody tells me about the echo, a dev from the s2 have a patch to fix it. and it does but then again it always happend when you are using a port rom from the skyrocket.
Now the I have the sensation People have told me that they hear an echo but sometimes I either have to reboot or hang up and call again.
I have noticed that ever since the s2 and the amaze came out they came out with a new sim card to support the 42 download speed, I run out of my data speed faster.
about the bad connection my friend that works on tmobile told me that it might not be the sim card that its a tmous issue that it always have been and it drops calls as well
but he also told me that sim cards can go out in time and needs replacement. Im going to get a new sim and see what happens. Lately people hasnt complained about the echo so I might need to wait a little. I thought that it might be the rom when its been ported from another phone but like you said that your daughter is all stock and still have this issue.
Yes It's true my daughter has the same issue. She is completely stock.. I really think somehow Its related to connection. She just complained of this issue last week.

Ever since day one (start of August or so) I've been having a few problems with this phone. At first, I thought it was just the network or maybe the recipient's network. Then I realize it may very well be the Blaze itself.
The problem I'm facing is this...
Almost every time I try to make a phone call I can't hear anything. No dialing sound audio. No person on the other line... just nothing. The phone does go through, but I can't hear anything. I don't use any BlueTooth device. I have to wait several minutes or reboot my phone several times in order for the calls the work properly. This issues has been going on from GB (stock, no root) to ICS (stock, no root) until now that I'm flashing the phone to see if I can fix it (currently using PA's latest version as ROM). I thought the updated radio from ICS would fix it but to no avail. Goes to say, this issue happens to my father, too (same phone, got them for free when we started the contract).
This has caused an annoyance for both me and for friends.
Anybody else experiencing this? Any ideas as to why this happens?
IDK if this helps but I'm from Puerto Rico.

Tell you what, I have been having the same problem. Make sure you call tmobile and complain! They are telling me that this is not a known issue and there are no complaints on it. I had a detailed complaint filed. I sent my phone back, got another one and it is worse than the first with this issue! Another strange thing is that it will suddenly make doubles of my custom ringtones and one of the files doesn't work. It defaults to generic ringtone. Very glitchy. Sometimes, will still show that the custom notification tone is selected but will play default tone. I am sending this one back too. I am really bummed to hear that rooting did not fix the issue on the phone calls. I was actually considering doing this next...... Really hope the next phone doesn't have this issue. I like the Blaze and don't know of another tmobile phone that is comparable to replace it with.
ditto
I have the same problem I believe. I currently dorm near the Bay Area, California. I haven't been able to hear or reply through my calls even though they connect to the other person's phone. This isn't exactly a signal problem because the phone still has bars and I can still tell when someone is trying to call me. I still receive texts, use wifi, and sound is working perfectly fine. I am glad I am not the only one with these problems.
edit: This whole "unable to hear or speak" into the mobile phone problem began around November 22nd (thanksgiving overload?).
I am using CyanogenMod 9, rooted of course.
edit2: So I just tinkered around with the sim card and battery by taking it out and waiting for a minute or two before putting it back in. Voila! I can now hear my voice mail.
Sounds like Handset issues with me... send them back and have them send you new ones... that's some BS if it is doing that Stock.
Just my opinion... being through a lot of phone and that is what it sounds like. just one mans opinion... cheers

I would be better off getting a new, better phone, it seems. It is quite annoying. Either way I voided my warranty by flashing. I don't suppose I can actually return it back to stock (like, literally returning to stock and unrooting and wiping and formatting every data) so I can still give it back... can I?

I got my third phone from tmobile the other day (all Blaze) and my very first phone call it happened on. To add to what someone else said. The phone shows plenty of signal strength and in fact, if I hang up and call right back the call goes through as it should. This from sitting in the exact same spot. I can't figure out what's going on? I had thought on this and realized that I had been turning off apps on the phone that I don't use (pre loaded junk). On the off chance that had something to do with it I turned them all back on. Still does it. I'd say it is a good 30-35% of my calls that this happens on. Very frustrating. I really like this phone but it won't function as a phone for me. I guess now they have to give me a different phone if I return this one too but I don't know what phone is comparable in size and function. I picked this phone specifically for the size. My wife got an s3 and I was not interested in it at all due to how big it is. This sucks.
I have to chime in. i just bought the blaze for my g/f, and i've using an sgh-t989 (galaxy s2), having the same issue you are describing. stock radio, stock ROM, just rooted.
Such a shame considering it is such a great phone for the price it is offered at. Safe to assume it is a hardware problem?

Are you saying that you are having this problem with the blaze or the s2? Both?
Both phone are having this behavior. new SIM used in both phones aswell.
Yeah, I went down and switched out my sim card as well. My wife has an s3 and has no problems so I don't know what's up? Shows signal but calls won't connect properly. Hang up and call back, it works. Huge pain when I am driving or short on time though.
Any fix this problem found? I talked to samsung and t-mobile today, samsung was no help at all and t-mobile asked me to master reset it. Once that didn't work they offered a warranty exchange. Any one have luck correcting the issue?
So far? No. But my phone seems to be behaving for the past few days (3). Which is weird. I'm probably jinxing it right now.

Restart during a call, the handset will not send sound.
Maybe they got a bad batch of Blaze 4G's. NOT making an excuse for them but I know it's happened in this business and others.... If I were u I wouldn't keep on dealing, hats to your patience.

Whas ROM are you using? ICS and gingerbread have a call preference switch in settings. Set it to data preferred. Cm 10 has a lte switch in settings use it. Battery apps can cause delay in data connect. Try these and let me know how it works.
