Calls only work through speaker phone - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Got a weird problem here with my 1727r. Rooting is is basically the only thing I've done with it, no fancy roms or anything.
Here's the problem: People can only hear my talking to them when I put them on speakerphone. If i'm using the phone like a regular hand-held, they don't hear me. I even tested this myself, calling my home landline and leaving my skyrocket near some speakers. Nothing comes out the other end. Tried with speakerphone and it works.
android version: 2.3.5
kernel: 2.6.35.11
Would really appreciate some help if anyone can offer some.

Well, generally there are ways of fixing things, this forum is full of details of tuning every little part of your phone and getting all the potential out of it. I was expecting it to be possible to fix, as that's what I usually do when my items break, but it seems you're intent on being useless. So I'll just award you full marks for that and try to get help elsewhere.

It seems like a hardware problem that software tweaks don't fix. Good luck with it man

Are you using cyanogenmod. If so that's the problem. Changing your rom will fix it

I've seen this reported across different phones
I had this happen with my Atrix and have seen reports from across the android products. It almost has to be a software glitch that allows it to get 'stuck'. Do you get music through your headphone jack?

Call quality?

sorry if has been answered. Ived looked around here. Anyone ever have someone complain when their talking to them on the phone that they sound muffled or robotic? Or even underwater sound? I have full bars and all. So I don't see what's up with that? Anyone have same issues or how to resolve it?

Weird. Well I called big red and they did something. My prl is now just 1 instead of that 15***. I had it changed to 13*** before but never seen just 1. But now my call quality is awesome... I can hear better
Meant to put this on the q&a

I have the same issue with sound on the other end being muffled, and others have trouble hearing me also. How would I go about changing my PRL to 1 to try it out?

I've had this problem from day 1. A bunch of different techs from VZW have looked into it and changed stuff on the backend and still no luck. :-(

I haven't noticed any issues and I got the phone on launch day.
Here is a thread on Android Central that we've been trying to do some testing about this issue:

I have been told that the voice quality isn't the best by some people but I have listened to a voicemail I left on someones phone and it sounded fine to me.

[Q] Why is my internal microphone staying on?

When I plug in an external microphone, even a headset with a built in mic, the internal microphone stays on, giving horrible feedback to any recorded sound. How can i disable the internal mic?
Is this an issue with the custom ROM?
Same here....

That's my last hope to easily make this work. Can anyone with a all stock SGS4G try using an external mic?
$50 reward for any dev that finds a solution to this. If it cant be solved within a week, im selling this thing and getting an iphone or HTC.
There is an app on the market called tasker that claims to have a mic on/off toggle. It's seven bucks, don't know if it works on our phones. Maybe contact the developer to see if it does.....

what rom are you using? is your phone rooted with cwm? if so, then factory reset, clear Cache and dalvik cache and reflash. then clear cache again. worked for me when i was a noob.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
Tried the Tasker trial version, no go. Can anyone with a stock froyo SGS4G plug a mic in and test this for me? $50 bounty will be good till end of the week, then im selling the phone.

Both of them are working with the stock and GB software? Which ROM are you using with GB? What mic was this with, not the built in headset was it? You have to hold the mic away then speak into the back mic to be sure.

Have you tried Supercurio's app?
I LOVE what it does for sound... makes your phone sound like a high-end device. I have the paid version, but here is the free if you want to try it out.
https://market.android.com/details?...DEsIm9yZy5wcm9qZWN0dm9vZG9vLmNvbnRyb2xhcHAiXQ..
Yes, I tried and it does not help. Can anyone with an all stock SGS4G test this for me? I learned through some articles that the SGS2 produces even worse quality recordings? So if anyone has a phone without this bug, ill trade you for mine plus some cash. It amazes me that Samsung can put out such wonders of technology plauged by such stupid problems.

You should send @supercurio an email or tweet. The guy is a genius.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Been exchanging emails with him, very nice guy.
Still hoping someone here with a stock SGS4G can test this.
Try with different headsets. I had no problen when i was using froyo stock. Maybe it is the brand not compatible. Only guesses here. Btw if it solves the issue. Give bounty to a dev. Raver, krylon, dsexton or drhonk or whitehawk.

Hmm, using the stock headset it records fine, with the internal mic turned off as it should........
Whats different about the stock headset mic from every other mic ive plugged in???? Is the pinout the same with the mic as the 'sleeve' contact?

Nice try. I offered this to any dev that had a software solution to turn off the internal mic. No one here has taken that up, and im yet to have anyone tell me definitively that the are using a hand held microphone, not a headset, with froyo.

Bluetooth Issues

Hi,
I am using Rogers Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE. Its running superheavy_CM10_JB ROM. Everything works fine the problem I have with this ROM is when I connect my phone to a bluethooth device eg GPS or my car. It connects fine but when I call people volume doesn't come through my car speaker. It comes through the phone same goes to music, but my car will mute itself if I am playing CD as if I am on call. I tried Liquid smooth rom as well same issues. Ginger bread, official ICS and CM9 satble Rom worked perfectly fine. Anyway Superheavy ROM is more stable for me compared to Liquid smooth which gave me issues like when I call someone they can't hear me and I can't hear them but minutes go up as if I am on call. I love this ROM(superheavy) except for this bluetooth issue. Any body know how to fix it? Please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Google Wallet not working at registers

Stock, rooted Touchwiz ICS. I follower the directions on XDA regarding changing the build.prop, flashing that lib fix, and flashing the fixed Wallet app, and the app seems to work well on the phone. However, I've been to several Jamba Juices, McDonalds', and 7-11s, and all had the green light at the PayPass terminals.
Can anyone help here? If worst comes to worst, can I just uninstall Wallet and then try to reinstall from scratch?

Sorry, since it was a hack, I thought it belonged in here. Mods, please move if necessary.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I had the same problem as you when I tried the hack and never got any help or answers because people decided it would be more fun to insult me and the other user who was having problems and say we didn't know how to use it. Like its that damned difficult.
Maybe someone will chime in and help because I've had this problem since I owned the phone. NFC works perfectly fine with everything but paying for stuff.

Me too, I would really like to be able to use GW because I leave the house without my wallet, on accident, all the time but never leave my phone so this would be very very handy for when I get to the store and realize I left my wallet.
When I had this problem I reset GW and uninstalled it, so I didn't mess up my secure element by flashing a different Rom without resetting it, and then I flashed a different ROM. I was on stock, rooted, and unlocked VRALG1 and after my initial failure I flashed ParanoidAndroid 2.13, it was quite a while ago when I messed with GW, and was met with failure yet again. Over the course of the next few days I decided to flash every single ROM and couldn't get any GW love on any of then.
Thank god I have a friend that works at the gas station and didn't mind me trying it so frequently. Also I tried most of the ROMs in other stores in my city and none worked.

Gotcha. Speaking of uninstalling, what do I need to do to uninstall it correctly so that I don't screw up anything in case I would like to attempt to use it again in the future?

Not sending or receiving SMS/MMS and data

I've had a problem with my skyrocket for quite some time now. No matter which radio, ROM, or kernel I use the data will be hit and miss and so won't phone calls and messaging. I've already had one skyrocket replaced because of this issue and even got a replacement SIM card to no avail. I get full bars of H+ service. I've tried adding different APNs as well. The AT&T store is obviously stumped (they are basically worthless) and phone support is no better. I was wondering if anyone knew of this problem and what caused it or a way to fix it.

I will take it to them and try to get a replacement or a different phone. I got my first one within the 30 day return period but I have had my current phone for about two months. I also forgot to mention that if I throw it against the wall or smack it against my hand, the message will usually go through. Now, I don't usually go throwing my electronics around haha. I only did this after it started happening and that always seemed to make it work.
