[Q] Desire S call mute problem

Hi there, I've been having problems with my brand new Desire S.
Whenever I place or receive a call over the cellular network I can hear the other party fine, but they can only hear me for the first 5 seconds of the call. It doesn't happen all the time, but I'd say 9 out of 10 calls are affected.
I've also configured internet calling and the calls over VoIP are not affected by this.
Any ideas on what might be causing this behavior?

Turns out it was an out-of-the-factory problem. Mainboard had to be replaced by HTC service center. I'm still waiting for the phone to be shipped back to me.
It's disappointing to buy a new phone, be able to use it for a week and then have it 3 weeks in the service.
HTC should improve their manufacturing quality assurance if they want to be considered a real phonemaker.

Technical Aspects of Ghost Call Issue

OK guys, LG Turkey keep asking me what are the symptoms of ghost call issue. So I thought it might be a good idea to point out all the problems related to ghost call isue so that they can understand the problem better and find & fix it from the core. IF LG asks you about detailed problem, you can C/P this list.
-The problem is related to USIM handling.
-When you try to call someone, if the USIM is crashed, the phone will give you a warning like "Wait for internal process to complete."
-If you go to contacts, you will see that the phone is trying to pull SIM contacts. When the process is over, Phone will tell you that "USIM Loading done". After that, you can make your call.
-If you call someone, sometimes, after the firt 5 seconds of connection, USIM crashes and you start hearing a buzzing noise. Now try to call the same person again, you can't. You will have to wait for USIM to be loaded again.
-When USIM crashes during a call, the end call button will not work for a time.
-Sometimes, USIM driver or handler, or whatever it is, crashes when someone call you. If this happens, then the phone keeps ringing until you reject the call. If you do not reject, the phone keeps ringing until the battery is full drained.
-When USIM handler crashes, it does not recover automatically always. This is the time you recieve neither calls nor SMSs.
I think:
-The problem has nothing to do with either 2G or 3G
-Nothing to do with hardware
-It is all related to baseband or USIM driver that comes with Gingerbread version.
These are all the problems I have experienced so far. Please comment if you had different problems, but only related to ghost calls.

What I don't understand is that not every body has the ghost calls issue.
I bought my phone second hand. Original owner bought it at July for 600€. he had it upgraded to 21A. No root no nothing. Its a Greek phone. I never had the ghost calls issue as long I was using it stock. Also the battery was extra ordinary. Maybe 30% all day.
After a week I decided to root. A bad decision and phone bricked. I unbricked it but baseband changed. Again no ghost calls.
I repartitioned it, changed a few Roms again no ghost calls.
I came think its a hardware issue for a few. So better thru to find what you have in common with others or demand a refound.

In my opinion it can't be an hardware problem, because with Froyo Rom never happen... and the hardware is the same.
maybe something related to sim card,carrier or coverage?

I never had ghost calls with Froyo. It all started when upgrading to Gingerbread. I also experienced dropped calls with a buzzing noise and RIP (Reorganizing Internal Process) messages while trying to make a call. This is consistent with what cool_recep posted. I cannot say much about SMS because I don't use them a lot.
It might be useful for LG to know the frequencies at which my carrier operates:
COSMOTE GSM 900
885 – 890
930 – 935
COSMOTE DCS 1800
1760 – 1785
1855 – 1880
COSMOTE UMTS
1950.3 – 1965.3
2140.3 – 2155.3
1905.1 – 1910.1

I never had baseband or airplane mode crashes, like others have posted around the forum, or the reorganizing internal process problem, I just had a guaranteed instance of a ghost call, so there were probably more. I had called someone, he answered and said he was busy and that he'll call me back in 2 minutes. After 5 minutes of looking at the phone I called him back and he said he called me but I didn't answer. I had been using the GB rom (v21a official, via kdz update) for a few weeks without having any of the other problems, but once I had confirmation that ghost calls occur for me too I went back to froyo.
As for the frequencies, I can't get any clear info off the web, but Orange Romania runs on either 900, 1800 or both. 99% of the time I was on 2g only.

I think it´s nice to tell which operator everyone is using.
Operators work differently, sending data in a different way from the others. For example: some send NITZ information all the time, others send just when the device attaches to the network.
The ghost call issue may happen only with operators which send some kind of data others don´t, or with operators which send too much data, triggering the bug which crashes the USIM, who knows?

I use Vodafone.

I have v20c and am with rogers in Canada. Haven't had any ghost call issues whatsoever
Sent from my LG-P925g using XDA App

I am going to update to that new Portugal ROM 21A and check it out...

I've got the v20c rom for Hong Kong. Ghost call is still here (but less frequent)
But then I noticed the data connection is very unstable... even if I haven't been moving around, and staying in a place of strong signal. Wonder what caused the problem...

[Q] White noise during phone calls

I have a One S on T-Mobile USA. I had the phone since the day it was released 6 months ago. A wierd noise started 2 weeks ago when trying to dial a phone number. As soon as I hit "call" and even before it starts ringing, you can hear a white noise similar to what you hear on a TV with no signal. The noise will stay throughout the call.
The issue happens the same way on received calls. My wife has a similar phone and no issue on her end. It is not ties to a specific location.
I tried diagnosing it with T-Mobile tech support, and at the end they replace the phone. New phone arrived yesterday and same issue exists!!!! I had the SIM card replaced today and no change.
Any suggestions?

phone calls drop after half hour

I thought it was me because I was driving or at a bad place in my home but I was wrong. My edge drops calls almost exactly at the 30-40 minute mark in my phone calls. It has happened all week but it was really noticable when it dropped and I looked at the time during one conversation. Anybody have this happen to them? I was told to replace it at a store. And we all know how plentiful the phones are… .:/

I recently had this problem occur again. This is after having a new phone. I called t-mo tech support and they said that the facebook messenger app has been causing a lot of problems with the call connectivity of the phone. I just uninstalled the app and am waiting to make a long phone call to see if this was the true culprit.
sent from the Edge

I think its just T-Mobile. My calls disconnect all the time. And my phone says no network connection a lot. (Even before I got the Edge) I think when the network connection drops, so does the call. This was even worse for me on the Sprint network though so I just live with it now that I'm with T-Mobile.

Galaxy Note Edge- phone call dead
My problem is from time to time phone call will be dead like no sound at all on either side even though there is network signal and the phone is showing call duration. I have to restart the phone in order to make phone call then its fine for unspecified amount of time then it happens again. Had my Note Edge for 3 weeks now and its pain in the neck. BTW I'm from Australia.

Out of service area problem

Within the past 2 weeks my phone had been dropping calls or not being able to receive calls at all sometimes. Let me try to explain. Sometimes when I try to make a call my service will cut out and say "out of service area" and not but 5 seconds later it will show I have service again. I can send text messages surf the web anything but make phone calls. At&t doesn't believe that it's on their end. Whats going on??

You are not alone, I have similar problem. I went to Sumsang center in Bestbuy last weekend, the Sumsang guy there told me he loses DATA randomly too, he knew at least 3 people having the same issue since last OTA. And they are all AT&T users, all S8+ phone, the Samsung guy told me they already know this situation and investigating it, hopefully they will push another update soon.
For now, I reboot my phone every morning before I leave my house.

It's very frustrating. I've talked to samsung on the phone and they told me I could send my phone in and have it tested but I feel like it won't do anything. And they would send me a refurbished phone back not a brand new one like the one I purchased. I drop connection all the time during calls, when I try to make calls it doesn't matter. The people at at&t are no help.

Add me to it. And to me it is an intermittent problem. It does not happen all the time. I am on Sprint, and I have the phone unlocked through Sprint since I paid it off. Not sure if unlock changed anything.

Anyone got the problem sorted out?

S8 plus out of service area
Hi.
I also have the same problem and this is not a software problem this is hardware problem you need to change the boot.
Theirs no other way

I had a similar issue. My phone showed I had network coverage but I kept missing calls. My provider sends a text message on missed call. I would call my number, phone would not show anything and i'd get a missed call sms.
I took it to the local samsung authorized service, they replaced the motherboard, the display and battery on warranty. Basically I have a new phone now and it works.
