A while back I started a thread without looking around like I should have, it was about the "voice going in and out" during calls. The answer was to turn off noise suppression in settings. This did nothing for me at all. I have run a bunch of tests using stock Rogers, TPC, SKY GB and SKY ICS. In every ROM it is like turning off noise suppression does nothing for me. I call my home phone and leave a message while moving my finger over the top mic (that detects sound for suppression) and every-time I get a fade in and out when my finger goes over the mic.
Here is the very strange part, I DL'ed Sky ICS (the real ICS leak) and when I made the call I turned noise reduction off during the call in the menu and no fading at all, works perfectly.
There are so many talented android peeps on this board and I ask you why the hell is this? Why only in ICS does the "turn off suppression" work? I thought it was hardware but if it was then it shouldn't work even on ICS right? Is there any dialer code or script I could use to turn off noise suppression at the root? My business partners and my girlfriend constanly tell me I am going in and out and its driving me insane.
And to people who say "just use ICS LOL" I prolly will have too I just don't want to. And to make things worse I cannot find a "turn noise reduction off" in the settings on ICS so i have to do it during every call.
Thank you so much for listening to this rant and thanks in advance!

Flash back to stock and use your warrenty(assuming it still applies). My first skyrocket had a bad ground on a speaker.

I think i am going to do that. Just very weird that I don't get that in and out effect when I turn off nose reduction in ICS, but the radio makes me sound horrible lol.

My phone is giving a loud ticking static noise when I call people (I hear it on my end, don't know if people hear it on their end)
It happens every other call.
I'm on Infused 1.5.0 and the gtg's community kernel that comes with that rom (I'm assuming that is the kernel that comes with infused anyway).
Any solutions besides trying to flash back to stock or flash a different rom or something to see if it happens there?
edit: ok, friend's phone who is also on at&t (but is an iphone) is having the same issue. Probably the tower being dumb. We did have a thunderstorm earlier.
Definitely a network issue, if it didn't stop, I'd report it to AT&T

i had that recently when i called 611. haven't heard it since tho.
I've been reading up on this and I'm to the point where I'm contemplating having Verizon send me a nightmare... I mean refurbished device.
How many people are having loud static in calls (randomly)? I'm not talking about a bad signal or something that's only happened to you once. I'm saying a straight up 90% of your calls your ear drum is about to explode because the static just suddenly pops up and is 5x louder than the conversation you're having with the person on the other line.
If you're experiencing this, have you been able to fix it?
I read/tried
-New radio
-New 4G SIM card
-Min CPU to 200mhz
-and more that I cant even remember off the top of my head
Basically I'm trying to see if people are experiencing this across the board, or if I might get lucky with a refurb from Verizon (as this is my absolute LAST resort, seeing as I've never received a working Verizon refurb).
I too have this problem. No solution yet.
Yeap, known issue with the phone. I recently contacted Vzw about the issue and they told me that Samsung knows about the issue and there currently isn't a fix available.
They offered me a completely different replacement device.
I voted no. I have heard it before, but it's not a common occurance, and I haven't had it at all in the last two or three leaks.
Never once had it

I have it. I'm currently on humble 5.0. Although its not as often as other gb leaks, it does happen. I find it to occur when screen dimms during call or if I pull the phone away from my ear and the screen turns on. The only setup the static noise did not occur is stock froyo.
I think many of us with this issue are waiting for the official update. If the static noise continues then I will contact Verizon for a replacement.
Oh and this charge is a refurbished phone that was exchanged for my crappy fascinate.

I had never thought of the screen turning off being the issue. My Touchpad has an issue with sound when the screen goes off. Hrmm... Maybe something to force the screen to stay on would resolve it.
I've narrowed this problem down.
Using GB Roms prior to EP4 this always happened, even with EE4 Radio. It also happened with EP4 radio but EP1/2/3 Base.
Therefore the problem is isolated to the EP1/2/3 base software.
I then isolated it to the dialer application itself. The fault occurs in Dialertabactivity or phone.apk.
If you pull the phone.apk or dialertabactivity.apk from stock EP4, this will go away for most phones.
Hmm want to see if anyone else has tried this.
Umm if you do this you will not be able to dial and utilize the phone. So yeah it will get rid of static because you won't be able to make a call hahab

Incorrect. You can push the ep4 versions of the apks using adb and it will work. I've tested.

I think there must be a bunch of defective phones out there doing this. I have never once had this happen to me, but I do way more texting than actual talking on the phone.
The business owner where I work is the exact opposite however. He is one of those guys who walks around with his phone constantly glued to his ear (he has 4 Gorilla batteries) & it has never happened to him either.
I asked him about it yesterday & he had no clue what I was even talking about.

What I've noticed isnt so much a blaring of static as the other person im talking to sounding like they are trying to talk through a muffled microphone. Something like they have the microphone on their phone wrapped in a sweater and they are trying to talk through it. I cant understand half of the people I talk to.
I had this problem but the recent leaked OTA update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364298 fixed it for me. It's the first time anything gingerbread has been on my phone without the issue. A 15min call to my gf after the update produced a clean call with no deafening static/popping/crackling. I was worried for a second though cause she started unwrapping xmas decorations that were wrapped in tissue paper. There's a full odin of the EP4D release here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365376 should resolve the issue for those not running stock EE4 (though I haven't tested this yet, if you do use it report back if it works).
Also check out this thread for not only a cwm version of the OTA ep4d but also a modem updater file that can patch your modems to EP4D - they just need to be EE4 prior to flashing.
So I used the odin of the debloated/deodexed/rooted ep4d (the one I posted in my original response above, created by danalo) last night, first call I make today I get the static.
Sucks!!

I went back to stock, going to see if the over the air works. So far the only resolution is to go back to stock and the manually run the update to ep4d.

So, got the static after going to stock and doing the manual update...wtf. Decided to go back to stock and see if the OTA was ready...it was...got static...wtf.
Looks like I will be getting in touch with Verizon and see what my options are, sounds like some other people with the issue have had verizon admit there's an issue and have been compensated. I won't go into the details of what others have done, but I will say I don't plan on giving them more money than I already did for this phone. I'll report back when I have a resolution.
Ya its allot better but definitely still there. I was really hopping this would get fixed and at first it seemed good but after a few calls I got the static. I'm not sure what to do with it now. I've gone back to completely stock and took the update and it's still there.

Hi!
Let's get straight to the point.
I just got a Skyrocket (Canadian Version) last week on Craigslist and I am having a blast with it-- wonderful phone. There is only one problem, though... my in-call audio would not work. When I put a call on speakers, I can hear the other side, but when I am using the actual call speakers located at the top of the front screen, I cannot hear anything. If I reboot the phone, it will work for about say 4 times... and then it will be borked again. Also, I noticed one time that when the background of the other phone is loud, that is when the problem would arise.
Should I go back to complete stock and see if that fixes it? Or is it a hardware issue?
Do a complete odin wipe back to stock, and use it for a couple days. If that doesnt work i suspect the seller knew of the issue, and sold u a borked phone.
I've experienced the exact issue as well. I upgraded a few weeks ago and on day 3 of having the phone, bam, in mid call the default call audio speaker went out. I was on Sky-ICS at the time. I flashed different radios despite knowing that couldn't have been it, went all the way back to stock and nothing worked.
I concluded that it was a hardware issue, or a software issue that was beyond anything a flash, battery pull, or tweak could fix. For whatever reason, the call audio muted the default speaker, yet rerouted to the loud speaker with no problem. So I took it back to the store, explained it to the sales rep and got a new Skyrocket.

I've seen a lot of people post about others not being able to hear them on normal conversations, but my problem is the complete opposite.
They hear me fine when i use the phone, but when i put the phone on speakerphone, they can not hear me at all. they hear me talking but it is so faint that it is almost inaudible.
This also occurs when i try to use video chat features on the phone.
Is there something wrong with the mic or is it a software issue? Any Thoughts?
What ROM/Kernel are you using specifically?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Everything is stock. 2.3.4
Oh, that's strange. When stock everything SHOULD work, doesn't mean it always works though. It could be just a network error, I doubt that though, could also be a physical problem too, but lets not get ahead of ourselves, software wise you can try CM7 or something to see if it works on there, rebooting may work but I'm sure you've already tried that. What I would do is try a few different roms, and if that doesn't work, then it might be a physical problem. Physically the phone might be able to pick up your voice fine close up, but is weak away from your face. Just throwing out some possibilities here.

Hey,
When I answer the phone, or call someone, the other person cannot hear my voice, at all. It can work sometimes, but most of the time it does not. I have been unable to trace the common factor in the problem, especially since the "Mute" option can still be toggled, as though it were not already on.
The only fix I have found is to put myself on speakerphone. Once I do this, the other person is able to hear me correctly.
I am currently running Aeon v1.4 on my Samsung Infuse 4G (I997).
Can anyone help me out with this problem?
It is common to need to toggle the speaker on/off on the first call after flashing a GB Rom with voodoo lagfix.

I first flashed the ROM in mid November, and the voice only goes through while speaker is on, not after it is toggled.
Also, since flashing my ROM and switching to Aeon, I can no longer use speed dial. Anytime I go to dial the shortcut number, I get the invalid MMI code and have to manually type in the full number.
Thanks for your help, I hope I can get this figured out.
