Calls only work through speaker phone

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?

Any feedback on CM10 8-18 d2vzw official nightly?

I'm itching to try CM now that it's official, but I depend on my phone and need stability. Does anyone who's tried it have any feedback? Anything broke?

i may have to flash that..

I wouldn't run the official nightlies for the time being until the data and MMS fixes get approved and merged. CVPS (Austin Dickenson) posted an Alpha 2 on his G+ with those fixes above so you would be better off running those.

Yea, wouldn't want those issues. I'd read some about that and assumed that since there was a couple of days between CVPS's fix and the posting of the official nightly that the fix would be included.

So, how actually stable and usable is this then.
I want to get CM10 or paranoidandroid running, but it looks as though its a gigantic pain in the ass right now with all these issues that people talk about.

I dunno, I've been running CM10 for weeks now with basically no problems. MMS is borked, but whatever.

I have seen a MMS fix and also think people are having problems depending on your phone. It will not hurt to flash it and flash back if you have problems.

Here's the code review for the patch:
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/21492/
In G+ he indicates it is a fix for MMS. Nothing is mentioned about losing IMEI. I haven't read anywhere where anybody has a handle on what causes that issue. It's seemingly random.
This post descibes how to backup and restore EFS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788443
And this post describes how to restore from scratch using a Windows PC, which isn't a lot of use for us Linux people because a Windows VM in Virtualbox doesn't seem to recognize the phone through USB:

Personally I think I'm going to wait until the IMES issue gets figured out. Phone runs pretty sweet as-is.

Does this assume that there aren't any glaring issues such as data/camera/mms etc requiring fixes?

No regrets
I decided to take the plunge last night and have done a reboot with NO ill effects to my MMS or IMEI.
The stock CM camera is amazing. Video, FF and ZERO shutter lag are all present. I was worried about losing some of the touchwiz camera options, but I do not miss them.
Data works, but my room is a deadzone so I'll have to wait until I venture outside to see how capable it is.
Wi-fi seems a tad weaker, but not by much.
All of my apps work (netflix included) and the only "annoying" things I have found so far is HBO go not being compatible and Facebook Sync not working the way I would expect it to. I've read that the FB glitch is due to poor support from the facebook app, so I don't think it's really an issue with the ROM.
There is occasional homescreen glitching, which is very slight and happens almost never. It just causes the screen to flash a little bit. There is a fix for this problem but I think you have to re-apply it after every reboot. Either way, NOT a deal breaker.

Ty for the mini review.
Did you install with kexec or just flashed in recovery like normal?
I am now using the other recovery (can't recall the name) as I've read it's better, but I am used to cwm.
If it's just now a simple wipe/install that's fine.
Now I just need to back up the IMEI and back when I get a chance.
But it still doesn't look that official until I see it on the Site.
Maybe it's there but I'm blind

This. It has been up since last night. And it has the same problems but today's/tomorrows merges are fixing them. If you only want one dd to flash, maybe do it Sunday night or Monday morning. Those builds will likely have fixes merged. Or as other have stated use cvpcs prealpha build which is already fixed.

I actually enjoy touchwiz too. I never thought I would.
I am using nova launcher and tw, so far it's a nice fast combination.
I question why I'd step up to jb yet but always have this stupid urge to risk breaking stuff that's working fine.

Reunited with my HTC Rezound

I just flashed the latest (as of now, only) CM nightly from their website which requires an UNLOCKED bootloader to be installed on the phone. The EZ unlock app in the market is as dummy proof as it gets. Just make sure your device has root. Also, use CWM recovery provided in the EZ recover app also found in the market. Make sure you flash the right recovery, the first time I didn't check the correct radio button and flashed the stock recovery back onto the phone. That was a bit of a mind-f**k.
After some testing outside of the house I find that it has as good or better network signal than I had with "stock" ROMs. I don't ever recall having 4g with full bars before installing this ROM. The wi-fi still seems weak, but I'm sure it will get tweaked eventually!
I think it's amazing what developers do. Thank you, wherever you are.

[Q] Will a different radio fix this?

Hi everyone, I'm running CM10.0.0 Skyrocket with UCLD2 modem. I live in Jupiter, FL and when I am traveling through town and pass through areas that switch between HSPA, 3G, and 4G, I often have to toggle airplane mode to get data back. Is this due to my radio? I was doing research in the forum about the various radios and I couldn't find a definitive comparison of the various modems to each other with a chronology of release. I'd guess that newer modems are better, but then I read that sometimes that's not the case. Anyone care to weigh in on why I lose data connection when traveling through different data zones? btw i checked my APN settings and theyre fine.

I too run into the same issue but when I'm at work I know that if you running jb data loss has been known to be an issue with it yes the newer the modem can potentially fix or issue depending on situation best option is test

Just an update, things still seem good with CI3 compared to my old radio. Only thing I notice is it doesn't really like 4G data, it'll say 4G and have good bars, and I can make and receive calls fine. But if I go online it'll stall, and I'll watch it struggle and then swap to H+ and be fine. That’s the only remaining quirk. Not sure why it's doing that.

Yeah I don't think they want to keep this phone going. They want us to buy new ones. I'm going to have to wait for income tax refund time. That's OK, I really like my phone with Tweaked on it.
The thing I think is funny is the iPhone commercials keep bragging about stuff my poor old Charge already has.

WOW!! I leave the droid charge community for a few months and this is what happens??? Simply incredible. As I have relegated my charge to WIFI only duty this is nearly perfect. The only issue is that it never actually boots. The boot animation just keeps on going and going and going. Does the file system need to be converted to EXT4 before flashing? I'm using the latest 0302 recovery too. Thanks in advance!
Nevermind. Got it up and running. Seems like the recovery updated itself somehow (shrug) and flashed it using the brand new CWM looking recovery and it's working. Can't wait to play around with this later.

Excuse me while I change my shorts.

Just wondering (I'm not a developer or anything), but to get DATA working couldn't we throw in the Factory Test.apk? I was looking at what was running, and it always is. Then I looked at what it is and it all has to do with the RIL.
I am actually looking into trying this build! I usually have Wi-Fi wherever I go so DATA isn't too big of a problem. If it does ever get fixed I believe this would be the Charge's lifesaver.
Any news on the issue that people are having getting it to install?

FactoryTest is in this build, it is required for secPhone.apk to work. I'm not actually sure if it helps or not but its in there. I'm not sure on the boot issues, after installing I would just make sure to wipe data and it should be fine.

Is it easy to switch back to Tweaked after installing this?

Check my edit. It installed just fine. Still not optimized, but it's a VERY functional build.

4g question

I notice sometimes while WiFi tethering.. my 4g signal well seem to drop.. the 4g icon goes away very briefly..I seem to notice it mostly with the red WiFi logo.. the grey one in some of the roms.. doesn't show how many are connected to your device. .but seems to run better. .I recently lost my IMEI.. But have recovered and I noticed the problem before I lost my IMEI.. I use my wifi at work to connect my work computer to a VPN.. It could be my work computer just being finicky but it gets booted off a lot. All in all it works really good I just wonder if there's a way to check 4 G for any problems.. Just sitting here now with it running with the tether I never lose 4g only sometimes when I'm doing something data intensive such as going to the vpn on my work computer..

I went back to CNA...and the intermittent no reason at all 4g drop stops while wifi tethering ..the wifi indicator at the top is the older grey icon..doesn't show how many devices are connected like the newer red icon wifi..but I did notice it dropping internet to wifi if I make a call..something that didn't use to happen..the 4g icon disappears and drops internet to my lap top..I might try an ICS rom to see if it stops..I wonder if Verizon has successfully snuck in a wifi tether bug..because it definitely seems on any JB rom the wifi is acting screwy..seems like its working, but not very stable..

Well..using the third party tether app that was included with the ROM I'm on now.. Beans ICS.. When I use the built in WiFi it works but I experience data drops..the 4g icon only goes away...the bars stay there, but the icon disappears.. with the tether app included in the set up of the ROM works great..I guess I will go back to a JB ROM and see if they have a third party tether installed..
