Can't hear the caller - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My Samsung Omnia i8350 was working great but suddenly today I can't hear the caller at all, although they can hear me. Tried everything from changing the SIM to calling different carriers but no luck.
I hope there's a fix for this?
Thanks!

Yes. The fix name is the "manufacturer's warranty".

Hmm, it's a pity... BTW, did you tried Bluetooth or regular headsets (headphones)? Or wait... Check first - may be you accidently paired with Bluetooth device/headphones?

I would definitely suggest trying both headphones and a headset.
Also, silly question, but did you chek the in-call volume? It's different from the volume used in the rest of the phone (it's the *only* different volume meter the OS has, somewhat to my annoyance). I know I've accidentally pressed and held the volume-down rocker while on a call a time or two.

the problem was actually on a bluetooth speaker i have. i opened it and had to trim the circutboard to make the board and speaker fit in a very small area and i had to cut off the volume + button from the circutboard and i lowered the volume on accident and could not raise the volume to were i can hear it thats why i wanted to raise the max volume for the bluetooth but after messing with a small strand of copper wire i was able to pull a macgyver and raise the volume back up

If you really want it to be a lot louder and distorted just go to the android market and download the free "Galaxy Tuner" has a lot of options for other stuff besides just the sound/volume and so on.....

Head phones problem

Hi,
The problem occurred while I was speaking on my hands free. The person I was talking stopped hearing me. Since then I could not use my handsfree, it just does not take calls when I push handsfree button. But I still can use them as headphones - listen music etc. But phone does not react anyhow on handsfree button - although it should stop/play music. Phone does recognize that the handsfree is connected - the icon appears on the tom when I'm plugging in the handsfree. I have noticed one this also. Before when I plugged wire connected to my AUX input in the car it showed on the phone icon for head phone (no microphone on the icon), now no mater what I'm plugging in it show headphones and microphone.
I have tried soft and hard reset.
Please help

I do know what does it mean "rooted". How would I flash the ROM. The only thing I have tried is soft and hard reset.

Wait, OK, sorry. I wasn't clear before and made assumptions. The headset problem you have sounds similar to one that was a problem on a custom ROM awhile back. Since you aren't using a custom ROM, I'm being uselessly unhelpful and you should ignore me.

Mic line not working on headset

Gladly that is the only problem I have found on the one but I would like to get this to work, is this an isolated issue or is someone else having the same problem?

I think you're the first one reporting this. As I don't have the phone, I can't help you much, but I can encourage you to get a logcat. I'm interested as well as I plan to use it with a headset as well...

I tried the headphones that come with the SGS5 today and the mic works, the headphones I use on a daily basis are Sony MDR-X10, not sure why their mic line doesnt work on the One, I will try another ones.

I had trouble with the Apple earbods too. Never had an issue on my N4 or N5. Perhaps report on Jira. I reported it and they said "Apple wires them differently" and closed the issue. Kinda dismissive considering Apple earpods mic work on the S4, S5, M8, N4, N5, etc.

I thought that the wiring was a standard thing, I guess I was wrong, the mic line definitely works perfect on SGS5 and Sennheiser earbuds, I hope this is something that can be tweak with software.

Does the middle button work? Buying those soon but not sure if I should go with the mic or non mic version since the mic won't work.
I used to use a pair of Skullcandy earbuds with mic on my Nexus 5 and now on the OPO it won't work at all. I'm sure it's a software bug.
Anyway to vote for this bug so that it will be worked on?

Tried the Samsung SGS5 headphones on both my OnePlus Ones, the Mic seem to function under sound recording but while making a call the caller on the other end can't quite hear me. My wife says it sounds like a static mess. Can anybody confirm?
I have yet to find a headset/mic that works correctly with the OnePlus One.

Xiaomi Pistons? I got mines from boat2014 today.... I thought I posted on this thread earlier :| not sure what happened to my post or if i didnt post it.
The keys work fine. Vol up and down for volume changes. Tap once for pause, tap twice/three times for track change on poweramp.

Headset Questions

Hi
I hope i am in the right Part.
Since one week i have OPO and i am happy so far.
As you know there is no headset incl with the phone.
Now i bought a headset from House of Marley with pause,plus and minus buttons.
plus and minus doesnt work that i know as it is made for Apple stuff.
On the S4 i can answer an incoming call and end the call as well.
On my OPO i can only answer the call if i press the button to end the call i just mute the phone.
Now my question. What is controlling the Headset ? Is it the Rom itself or is it kernel related ?
Would be nice if somebody can give me some advice.
Thank you
The kernel is what controls the headset. I'm not really sure what else to answer as theres only one question.
Oops yes sorry.
Does it mean that it could be possible that a kernel other than the stock one can solve the end of call problem ?

Any updates if this is being fixed?

Could work. Just try out the custom kernels one by one and test.

Changed my digitalizer on my OPO, problems with loud speaker?

Hello, this is my first post on XDA I recently bought a OPO from a friend fairly cheap, he just changed the digitalizer on it as he cracked the screen. The only problem was that the loud speaker stopped working when he replaced it. Everything else on the phone is working fine. I've opened up the phone to look at the ''motherboard'' which the speakers connect to, can't see any issues (would post a picture on the parts i mean, but since i haven't made 10 posts i can't have links in my posts). Now, can it be this part acting up? As i read somewhere that this part also controlls the vibration, and the 3 buttons in the bottom of the phone. But those work just fine. Or could it be the actual speakers? But i couldn't think that he could possibly manage to break the speakers somehow... Any suggestions? Also, english isn't my main language so excuse me if there are any errors in my text

Yes, the speakers were working before he changed the digitalizer. I'm on Cyanogen 12.1-YOG4PAS1NO, no custom rom or recovery on the phone.

You can try flashing Cos13.1.x through fastboot to see if it makes any difference,

Also,can you hear in-call voice?
