Hi I am a noob when it comes to Galaxy devices and I recently ran into a problem with my Galaxy skyrocket. Everything works fine my camera crashes and reboots whenever I use the flash but I can live with that but my bigger problem is that when I make a phone call the other person hears me fine but on my end the sound is terribly low. I have read forums discussing this issue and I have installed apps like Volume + but nothing has changed I tried changing the APN but that did nothing so can anyone help me out there in XDA Land? I am running CM 10.1.2 and whether it was this rom or stock rom the issue was still there. Not sure what else to do
thanks in advance

Are you using the Ucmc1 radio? If not...use it. If the problem still persists whether you are on a custom or stock rom...it could be a number of reasons. Might be a hardware issue.

Thanks for your response, I am using radio UCMC1 I was hoping it was not a hardware issue but at last, it just might be. Its weird because when I am dialing a number the speaker is fine it is not until a call actually goes through that the speaker takes a turn for the worse.

Hello,
I've been a user of the xda ROMs for quite some time and i appreaciate all the work that's been put into the community.
Sadly, i have stumbled onto an issue i cannot solve myself, so i am seeking your help.
Description: When receiving a call and answering it (phone vibrates and rings), i cannot hear the other person, but they can hear me. (Speaker on/off doesn't do a thing, volume rocker up/down either). If the person calls back within a few minutes, i can almost always hear them and have a normal conversation. This does not happen in 100% of the cases, but in more than 50%. I have switched ROMs, kernels and radios (ATM i have CM7.1 RC, mar1x bfs v4,5, and XXKB3)
Is there any hope?
same issue on i9020t
I been having the same issue, but not quite as frequent, on my I9020T. I've experienced it with Cyanogenmod 7.1RC1 and NSCOLLAB (also based on CM71). I think I had it with CM7.0.2 and CM7.0.3, but can't remember for sure. The problem does not occur when I revert back to stock 2.3.4 rooted.
A somewhat related post in this forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188264, got me thinking. The OP had a similar problem on an I9023 when bluetooth was enabled. I've noticed on NSCOLLAB that DSPManager is running a "Headset" service. I do not have DSPManager installed on my stock install.
Can someone more knowledgeable tell if its possible this service could be related to the problem with callers not being able to hear me. FYI, my bluetooth is normally off and I don't use a headset. I'm back to running NSCOLLAB 1.3.8, but I've disabled the Headset service. If the problem doesn't occur for a couple days, I think I may have something.
dinuvali, is the Headset service running on your build?
Removed DSPManager earlier. Just answered a call where they hear me but I can't hear them. They called me back, all normal.
Oh well, rolling back to stock for now.

Thank you for the reply,
Yes my CM 7.1 is running the DSPManager service.
Also, my neighbour who has the exact device as me, but stock unrooted, has never experienced this problem.
Along with this problem of not hearing the other person on the first call, i also get the dropped call once in a while (not only after 3 mins of talking, but also while the phone is ringing and they still haven't picked up yet)
From all the posts i've read concerning this issue, i think it's mainly a hardware issue, but maybe it can be bypassed with some sort of tweak.
Major breakthrough imo
Pressing Hold (left upper corner) and then unholding will render me able to hear the other person!

Great find! Come to think of it, I never had it happen when I answered someone and immediately hit speakerphone, something I do alot when in my car mount.
I think I'll reload NSCollab, new version just came out today. When it happens again (unless they fixed it) I'll try this out. Thanks!
Hello,
There is this really annoying bug ever since i flashed the last CM7 nightly build and i was wondering if anyone else experienced it.
Ok, so when you connect an earphone to the earphone jack on the phone it automatically plays on the earphones. But now, it plays on the earphones for about 30minutes and then switches to the speaker of the phone then I disconnect the earphones and reconnect them but it doesnt transfer back to the earphones, the only way to get it back is restart the phone but then again if you listen for another 20-30minutes it does the same thing. I dont know if its related but also the phone automatically answers in speaker even though in the settings the option to do so is not checked so I dont know whats going on here but its annoying. Anyone else have that type of issue?
Stories like this really make me not want to move to a custom rom, Rooted GB 2.3.3 all the way...
Well the custom rom has been much better than stock as far as speed and stability but anyway dont try to hijack my thread buster .
Am I the only one in the world with that problem?
Do you use GO SMS, or Contacts ?
After updating that app my phone answered in speaker mode and other have reported this as well, however I think its been addressed by the Go devs team

I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or a software issue.
When listening with my headphones to music, youtube...etc.. it randomly makes weird buzzing sounds (kinda like when you connect to the internet through dialup back in the old days). This sound happens randomly for example, if I hear it in a song and i rewind it to the same position it will not happen..but it might happen somewhere else in the song.
I know this is a Kernel issue because on Stock Kernel this doesn't happen. However when I flash to any other Kernel this starts to happen. (I've tried Bricked, Franco, Faux, Linaro Kernel and they all have this sound problem. I haven't seen anyone else report on this issue which is why I'm suspecting it is a hardware issue. Anyone have any idea or input on what I can do? I really don't want to stay on stock Kernel since I've seen huge improvements on battery life using custom kernels. Thanks.

Hi Bobokun,
If its the same noise that I get (I posted on google product forum for nexus about it. Tried to put link here, but as I only just joined to answer this, it won't let me. The title of my post was "Nexus 5 has interference sounds when using headphones"), it happens on stock phone for me.
I've not got any further in bottoming out whether it is hardware or software (though not done too much digging other than the above link).
Cheers
James
This happened to me once or twice when I first tried out my headphones. However the last few times that I've used the headphones it has stopped.

It happens several times during my work day, but I'm in a poor TMobile signal area in the UK and i think it is trying to keep its signal.
I haven't found any solution yet, anybody? I'm just wondering how only a few people found this issue.
It becomes complete annoyance.

What about baseband? Could any of the kernels you flashed have changed the radio?

I have a similar experience when using bluetooth and playing The Infinite Black (game) when I touch a sector it makes a weird buzzing sound. Rooted, stock, with Franco Kernel.

Hi All,
I have this strange problem on Nexus 5.
When i call a person, if i activate the speakerphone or i use headset, the other person cannot hear me.
I tried with rooted and stock rom and i have the same problem.
I sent the mobile 2 times to LG and they said that everything is working fine. But it is not. Any other person in this forum had the same problem? If yes how can be possible to fix?
Thanks a lot

what apps do you have installed that might mess with the phone capabilities or with sound.
Hi,
thank you for answer.
I didn't install anything. It's just the stock ROM. Just installed the sim card and tried to call.
How did you flash stock? I'm talking about factory images. And this happens with everyone?
I followed google instructions. and yes it happens with everyone.
I installed now an app called soundmeter to check if the microphone is working.
When i'm not in speakerphone or headset it is working (values around 20 and 70db, depending how loud i talk).
When i start speakerphone the values are on 60db with no movement at all.
Can be a software problem or hardware problem?
I sent to lg support 2 times and they told that everything is working.
I really don't know what to do about.
i got the same its really strange...
I tried several roms, Kernals and mods nothing helps...
I have also bought a new sim card because i was thinking maybe it wasa this problem but nothing.
Is there any test or workaround that i can do to search the problem and fix it?
LG doesn't want to replace my device.
While going through the steps, have you tried looking at/grabbing logcat output? Some useful output might be there.
Have you tried another phone app?
Hi,
this is the logcat file.
Hope i have everything you need. What filter can I use to see only what needed?
Thanks

It's running CM13 CAF, and yes the mic works fine ,I tried to record it worked fine without any issue ,only the speakerphone didn't work
Try to reproduce the issue using a stock ROM. If there are no problems, at least you know it is software-related.

I've installed the stock rom ,still have the same problem. when I activate the speakerphone during call ,the people aren't able to hear me, even in whatsapp,viber...etc.
the mic works fine when I tried to record something,
Hmm, sounds like it could be a hardware issue since you have tried two different ROMs with the same result.
Was the phone ever dropped or bumped? Possible loose connection?
