no sound during calls

i flashed to HTC professional 1921 and i have a problem when i receive calls. i can only receive and hear them when i'm on speaker (i noticed some of the people have this problem on VoIP - but i'm talking about regular phone calls) The person on the other end of the phone can hear me fine. I can only during calls using speakerphone or headphones.
i searched the forum, but didn't find and answer
does anyone know how can i fix this?

Flash another rom just to be sure it's not a hardware problem.
Good luck!

I to am experiencing a similar issue. Have you tried talking on the phone when you flip it and fold? Basically putting it in portrait mode, is that when you don't get any sound? That is when I don't get any sound, but if I just leave it open in laptop mode I can hear, but trying to talk to someone looks very awkward.

hey i have the same problem , but it's seems to be an hardware problem , what's odd is , it's happen after i flashed :S . anyway i flashed back to my operator ROM and used my insurence .... it's all fixed now .

Yeah, it happened to me after i flashed which is weird. i agree it must be a hardware problem though because I just flashed to the button rom and am still not hearing anything during calls. Unfortunately, my warranty has already run out...so sad.

i think it's an no luck thing . maybe it was humid in you room or who knows .
u should fix it at some store - hope they gonna keep the price cheap .

People cant hear me

when i call them they just cant hear me at first i thought it was the ROM but then I tried different one and still the same is my mic broken or my phone is messed up someone help?

Ok try calling someone else to make sure its definitely your phone with the problem.. If it is then do a full factory reset..
If that doesnt make any difference, then i would suspect the mic is faulty. Also try to put the phone on loudspeaker and if they other person can hear you then it must be the mic.. Send it off for repair
Make sure everything is back to stock before you do this, the cheeky bastards at HTC will do anything to avoid fixing your phone for free,

I tried everything u said & still no go well thanks guess I'll have to send it out

[Q] Another Strange issue - No Voice in Incoming calls

Issue : When I attend an incoming call, I'm not able to hear the other party's voice. I can hear only my own voice back, but they say they can hear me just fine.
Contrast : No such issue when I make an outgoing call. All voices are just very fine.
When it started : Went back to stock 2.3.5 Indian ROM and restored from the Titanium backup taken while on Titanium S V2.1. But this is just the lst thing i remember doing before the issue.
Troubleshoots tried:
Software: Factory reset, on stock 2.3.5, and Titanium Rom with nothing installed other than the pure base OS.
Hardware : tried cleaning the mic opening (ya i know, but just a try), clicked the volume rocker a few times during the call.
Both did not help.
Google: There were 3-4 exactly similar issues on other models, but no one could find a fix, nor an update on how it went.
I dont think this is a hardware issue as the voice is fine when I make the call.
Guys... help me out....

Now that's weird. Don't worry we'll try to solve it.
Further you can troubleshoot by:
1. To rule our any possibility of the Receiving speaker being faulty, open your dialer and input this code (*#0*#). Now select 'Receiver(White)' from it. You should hear continuous sound from your Receiving Speaker, if not then its not working.
2. Trying to make a call using a landline phone so as remove the possibility of caller having any network issues and use a SIM from a different network provider on your handset to ascertain if its a network problem.
3. Is there a small popup with a heading something like 'In call volume' when using the volume rocker while receiving an incoming call ?
4. And does it at least show increase or decrease in the bar on the popup of 'In Call volume' graphically when you press corresponding volume rocker keys ?
Do post here what were the outcomes and also if you find what was wrong.

Thanks for your suggestions, Eagle..
1. To rule our any possibility of the Receiving speaker being faulty, open your dialer and input this code (*#0*#). Now select 'Receiver(White)' from it. You should hear continuous sound from your Receiving Speaker, if not then its not working.
Ans: Sound recieving perfectly. (too loud actually ;-) )
2. Trying to make a call using a landline phone so as remove the possibility of caller having any network issues and use a SIM from a different network provider on your handset to ascertain if its a network problem.
Ans: Tried from almost a dozen networ/phone cominations. No joy.
3. Is there a small popup with a heading something like 'In call volume' when using the volume rocker while receiving an incoming call ?
Ans : Yes, the usual volume level bar appears.
4. And does it at least show increase or decrease in the bar on the popup of 'In Call volume' graphically when you press corresponding volume rocker keys ?
Ans : Yes, the volume works fine. I can hear my own voice back very clearly, both in the headset and loud speaker .
Nothing works so far.. any other software related issue sthat u can think of..?

So one thing for sure your receiving speaker works fine and so is your volume rocker.
Usually most of the software related issues should be resolved when you clear cache, clear dalvik cache, factory reset, flash stock ROM and kernel on your handset.
I think you have already done all of these, right ?
I think some thing is wrong with your radio i.e. motherboard, you might have to go to the service center.

The problem may also be due to use of faulty Jack headphone, that galaxy R has.
Do check for that...!!

I was in office all this while and all i tried was restoring my CWM backups of all the ROMs I had and then making factory reset, clear cache of it.
Just reached home and flashed the stock 2.3.6 XWLA4 via Odin and made a factory reset, clear cache with nothing on it.. and guess what ?!
IT WORKED...
so far tried from a landline and a mobile, and mic works.. testing still going on..
The only only difference i could find was.. all my backups had root and now since I flashed via Odin, its unrooted and thats the only diff..
Cooleagle/anyone, do you think that could have made the difference..

OH MAN !!!!!
that was exactly the problem....
plugged in my headphone, plugged out and the NEXT CALL.... the problem recurred. as mentioned in the other thread, i plugged in and out the headphone a couple of times (without reboot) and then it started working..
I never knew the headphone jack of SGR had a regular problem like this...
I never used a hands-free for calls and only a couple of days back started listening songs from phone..
But i still wonder how after every CWM restore, followed by a reboot, did not solve the problem before..
Thanks a lot dude...

Thanks for posting that.
In his case it was not working for outgoing as well as incoming calls but in sarun's case he could use the handset for outgoing calls.
So it seems to affect selectively and not the same in every case.
Do you think I should put this in the FAQ's because it seems some handsets have this bug ?

Yea Cool_eagle.
Put in FAQ, but in exception cases or under some other heading, coz it will give wrong impression to users. As the user might take it that this problem occurs on all Galaxy R. (I am not facing this error on my handset)
Also put that Galaxy R shutdown immideatly when it tries to access the network.
Put the heading as some known problems with Galaxy R

Fine I'll put this in the FAQ's asap with the 3G Data recording bug.

Even i faced this problem. Whem I'm listening to music on headphones and a call comes, I remove the headphones and take the call, and sometimes I cant hear anything. Even outgoing doesnt work.
Pluggin in the headphone and removing it solves the issue most of the time. Else a reboot has worked for me everytime.
If it gets too annoying take it to service center, Even i faced the same fears as u but I finally took it (But that was cos of a different issue)
Keep us posted, Gud luck

It's a known problem & is caused due to a faulty headphone (3.5mm) jack.
Here's what you got to do confirm if your problem is indeed what I think it is & solve the same:
- Plug in Samsung's headset & make a call to check if you can communicate / talk with the person at the other end normally & without any problem.
- If you can talk normally then it's confirmed that the problem is the same as I described earlier.
- To resolve it you have to plug in & out the headset a couple of times it gets resolved & your handset works normally.
- You can also take it to a service center & they may replace the headphone jack which should solve the problem & they could also reflash the stock firmware. Do update if it resolves the issue.
Hope this helps.
Cheers !

I also faced this issue with my first stock rom when I got the phone. After I had upgraded to ZSLE5 and after then to ZSLE6, the problem seemed to be resolved. Does the problem exist with these newer roms too? I can't try it out now.

Then I'll add this to the FAQ's because it isn't a problem related to just Indian stock 2.3.5 ROM which was the impression I had earlier.
Cheers !

Hi Cooleagle, thanks for your response, however, I am experiencing this issue when I am not using headphones, ( I have not tried with headphones on), do you still think that this is related to faulty headphone Jack?

Then you should try calling with headphones on to confirm. Kindly read my post again. You could also update your handset to the latest available 2.3.6 (ZSLE5 / 6) ROM as Adam said & it could also resolve your problem as it was the case with him.

did you go to the sound setting and tried adjusting things in there ?
if you didn't drop the phone, then, maybe you should root it again ? or recall if you install any app before it went dead ?
