My phone died so i pulled out my trusty tab 2 P5100 to use as a back up phone till i get a replacement. The tab was running Omni 4.4.4 but i was having issues with people not hearing me or visa versa but would work ok via a Bluetooth headset or speaker.
So i flashed Slim-espresso3g-6.0.1.build.2.1-STABLE-20170329-1833 with open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20180223 this fixed the calling issue and better sill could watch Youtube at 480p
but when i try to make a call via bluetooth there is a large amount of loud electronic noise and static making it impossible to here the ring tone or voices.
I have tried multiple roms for Slim, Omni, Bliss, Lineage,ASOP everything from 5.1 - 7.1 all have the same issue. if i go back to 4.4.4 it goes away.
Tried searching the forum seen post on needing to update the radio but nothing on how to do it.
Any help appreciated as i a loving Slim6 and do not want to go back to kitkat

This seemed to only recently have come up.. but the handset microphone does not pick up sound nearly as well. It is maybe 1/10th the amplitutde. I've tested phone calls to myself (to GVoice headphones, other phones, etc.) and the speaker mic works great. When you take it off speaker mode it barely picks up sound at all.
When I use Evernote voice note recorder or a simply voice recorder I get similar results of extremely attenuated sound.
I do not _believe it is a CM10/custom ROM issue as this new behavior seems to have only started recently (past 2 days?) and was running the same stable ROM the whole time. I haven't yet isolated, but it could be a bluetooth problem (doubtful) - as I recently paired with two devices sometime in the past 3 days, or maybe some App has taken control over the amplification of the handset microphone.. but I install/uninstall so many apps to test throughout any given day this would be hard to isolate.
Has anyone had this issue before??
I'll go ahead and reset to a clean ROM, stock ROM, etc. and see what results I get, but I wanted to post a Q first to see if anyone ran into the same issue. Thanks in advance!

This happens only on outgoing calls on bluetooth (car audio): I can hear the person on other side talking, but that person cannot hear me. I switchover to handset or speakerphone and switch back to bluetooth, and the problem goes away. Both parties can hear each other and call proceeds without a problem.
This problem does not occur on incoming calls at all. I pick up using the button on car audio and the conversation happens without an issue.
The exact same issue occurs on all the builds I have tried: CM10.1 (both stable and nightly), Slimrom 4.2, Slimrom 4.3 nightly, Aditya's CM11 (tried at least 3 builds, currently running his build 12).
I did not see any mention of this by anybody else. Am I alone in facing this issue?
I have used both an android phone and a windows phone earlier on this car audio and this issue did not show up on those.
Thanks, folks. I would really love to fix this and continue to use this wonderful phone for a few more years!
It gets crazier
I just got my hands on a Sprint Galaxy Nexus (toroplus):
Weird: This exact issue (bluetooth outgoing call does not grab my side of the conversation until I switch the call to speaker/handset and back to bluetooth) happens on all the builds of CM10.2, CM11 and Slimkat.
Weirder: This DOES NOT happen on 4.3 stock rom (JWR67B) version of the software. I am unable to try and load stock rom to NS4G, so haven't tried this trick with that.
Weirdest: Now that I have isolated the problem to the CM (or its derivates in slim version), how is it even POSSIBLE that I am the only one experiencing this? I cannot find any mention of this issue anywhere in the net. Unfortunately, both my bluetooth receivers are the exact same model: pioneer DEH-4500BT. However, the fact that Galaxy nexus stock rom (and earlier phones, like Samsung Prevail or Lumia 521) work flawlessly deflects any suspicition on the DEH-4500BT's part.
Its always worked updated to Cm11 and now Bluetooth won't answer incoming calls. It picks up just no audio at all and they can't hear me. I place a call through the car or play music they work fine. Did a factory reset and install the latest build for Parandroid. Same issue. Now titanium did do a restore. Would this happen to bring something across if it was buggy on the bluetooth? I can make calls and control everything through the dashboard but just cant answer incoming calls. Tried another phone and works just fine. Anyway suggestions?
Lots of people with CM or ROMs based on CM are having this problem. check the development topics for Cm11, mastodon, aicp, Slim among others. Word is a developer has figured out the problem. Others have changed basebands and solved their problem, while others continued to have the problem. I ended up switching from aicp to liquidsmooth and I now can receive calls via Bluetooth.

I too am having the same problem using CM11 M10 on an S3 LTE. Also had the problem on M9. Please share any solution that you find works.
Folks having probs with incoming calls and any other incoming Bluetooth issue (eg music through external speaker) while on CM11 or CM11-based ROM (eg. AICP, Spirit). My understanding is that CM11 developers have determined the cause of the prob (related to the kernel) and that they are pushing down a fix in the current or upcoming updates.
You can also solve the problem by switching to a different kernel (this is the path I took with Spirit ROM... I switched to current BMS kernel). Make sure to use the correct kernel for your device.
I've been trying hard to fix the issue but it is still prevalent.
Whenever I use a ROM, when the phone is in loud mode, sometimes the call ringtone is not played from the speakers. However if your are receiving a call and you pop in the headset, the phone immediately plays the ringtone again. This first appeared in AICP. I've changed it to Mokee and CM12 too, the same. For an year I've been using crDroid before and I did not have this bug. But now, even after flashing the crDroid version I previously had, I get the bug.
I wonder how its happening like this. Does bootloader have to do something? I switched to Brazilian Stock in order to get the Lollipop soak test, and after a couple of ROM changes I've been having this issue. Does the Brazilian stock firmware use a different boot loader than Asia stock firmware?
I've tried installing a custom kernel to check if its a kernel issue but the issue won't resolve. Again the issue goes off by a restart but comes back after a few calls.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
On MY OPO No Nougat ROMs Provide Front Speaker (Earpiece) Audio During Phone Call--Only Speakerphone Works.
Using TWRP 3.0.2-0, I have installed almost every available Nougat ROM, with varying degrees of GApps, and my phone doesn't have a working front speaker (earpiece) during calls with any of them, using either the stock dialer, or the Google Phone downloaded from the Play Store.
If your phone is behaving the same way, please post your logcats here along with a brief description of what you've tried to fix it, or what did fix it.
Also, if you are experiencing this issue, did you ever use Msm8974DownloadTool.exe to recover from a HARD BRICK? I'm looking for something in common with other phones with this issue, and so far this is the only thing I can think of that could possibly make my phone different from any other phones in which the front speaker does work.
Hopefully, someone has a fix, or will see something reparable.
Thanks,
pbergonzi

FIXED:
As of 2016/11/02, ROM's are coming with the front speaker (earpiece) working properly.
If you don't plan on using any newer Nougat ROM, or if yours doesn't work, you might try the fix @kwoktopus provided in his post:

Don't know how to log cat, but, I have never used Msm8974DownloadTool.exe before and am getting the same issue with the ear piece. I did however find a 7.1 rom that worked, but the video recorder didn't work. I used the tuga 7.1 rom yesterday, earpiece worked, I'm using Nitrogen OS today, earpiece is not working. I hope this helps someone find a solution... I don't think a logcat would help from this rom and I don't feel like flashing back and forth. Everything else on this rom is working flawlessly.
Just noticed you have a tutorial linked on how to logcat, but like I said, I'm on a rom with the same issue so I don't feel like it would help. Try Tuga or whatever it's called and see if you can get it to work.
I have the exact same issue on all Nougat ROMs I tried (Slim7, PureNexus, etc.). Both the earpiece and microphone does not work in calls. The only way I could hear the other person and the other person could hear me was when I was on Speaker or using headsets.
I have now switched back to M. Will send my logcat after I install N again.
After @Hig13's response, I reinstalled TugaPower N3 and N4, and both worked with the front speaker! I'm very glad, thank you @danieldmm.
I hope other devs are able to implement what he has done.
I'm not finished with N ROM's yet though.
Edit: As of 2/11/2016, TugaPower N4 ROM has working video recording. Big congrats to danieldmm.
