Microphone is very faint and lots of static - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

So I just rooted and installed a stock rom with tweaks from the developers forum. My mic during calls and when uskng svoice was really static and no one could hear me properly. When I opened tapatalk to post this from my note I hit s voice and it then understood me perfectly. Any idea what's going on? Will this problem come back? I'm going to try a call again every so often and see if it happens.

This is a question for the thread of the ROM you installed not for this section.

[Q] Missing Calls?

I have searched threads on XDA and could not find a solution specifically for my Epic 4G Touch. The problem I am having is I will just be sitting there and receive a voice mail. The phone did not ring previously and I check my call log and there is not a missed call. What I have found by researching is it has something to do with the phone when it is in deep sleep. I am rooted using Blu Kuban FE10 1.0.3.6 Rom. Also using Caulks FD26 Kernel with FF02 modem. I have tried several kernel and modem combinations. I do not believe it is Rom, Kernel, or modem related. What I have read it seems to be somewhere in the dialer waking the phone up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It's sprints sub par service...

I've seen a few reasons for this:
1) A ringtone specified for someone was not on the phone - this caused it to misbehave when I called my wife. She changed the ringtone and it fixed.
2) The tower couldn't reach the phone in time - now in my wife's case her old phone will still ring when her new phone does. I'm not sure if that's playing into the problem or not. But other times I've had both phones next to each other and you can tell when the tower reaches the phone as the ring changes abruptly.
ive been having same issue which is a big problem cause i use phone for work..
that's y I'm thinking of going back to htc phone never had an issue with htc or blackberry phones
The more and more I think about it. Your probably right. It must be a Samsung thing because I have 3 other phones on this contract and they are all HTC phones with no problems. The only thing is they are completely stock with no mods.
i have a htc tp2 on boost mobile which runs on sprint but more water down of a service but the reception for calls is 90% better than this phone
dont get me wrong love this phone just hate the reception issue.
Yeah you would think if Samsung is making phones at least the phone function would work properly.
I have been having the same problem forever with this phone. I have even had threads on here asking for help. I have gone as far as having sprint swap my phone out and that still did not help.
What I would recommend doing is using Google voice as your voicemail provider. Go to the options menu on the website and have it send you an email when you miss a call.
Google voice will always log the call even if your phone does not ring. For somebody like me who uses this phone for work, it definitely helps. You may miss the call but you will at least know that you missed the call and you can call them back.
It has saved me many times!
Are you running Kobridge's tweaks? I have noticed great battery life with his tweaks, but on my phone and the wife's we both are missing some calls when the phone goes into deep sleep. It may just be a coincidence. Not saying anything bad about the tweak.

I believe that The Blu Kuban is running some kind of variation of Kobridge tweaks, but what I've read on that, the full version of Kobridge tweaks don't play nice with this rom.

[Q] Galaxy S3 Auto-Answers phone call

Hi,
I'm having an issue with my Galaxy S3 and was wondering if anyone else has had a run in with this problem. My Galaxy S3 seems to auto answer phone calls when there is background noise. It has happened while at a restaurant, while in the car with music on, and from hearing a lawn blower outside.
I've searched and couldn't find any help or any fixes. I do not have S voice enabled at all, no motion shortcuts enabled, Home button not checked to answer phone calls, no bluetooth headset setting for auto answer, etc. I've tried factory resetting phone but that didn't fix it. I was able to get phone replaced within first 2 weeks for another one but exact same thing happened.
Anyone else ever hear about anyone experiencing this issue? It seems I can't find any thread other than one from googling about it for T-Mobile specifically.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you
I guess you have enable voice command from which you can answer and reject calls. Search in setting of ur phone.

Can you reproduce this problem yourself or is it completely random?
I'm assuming your running stock unrooted
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Go to svoice settings click on control apps and another menu should show up make sure incoming calls is Unchecked... Most likely this is the problem.. I know you said svoice isn't enabled but at least check it out.. I was having this same problem..

Yeah, I never even had the S Voice activated on the first one. When I got my replacement I immediately tried that and turned S Voice on so I could uncheck everything. It would randomly happen when there is background noise. No one else I know with the SG3 is having this issue and I've had it on two phones.
I don't have any apps installed (don't even have a gmail account on either of the phones) and it is completely stock and updated to latest firmware.

Can't hear person during call & person can't hear me.

Hello and thank you in advance to all. I have a t989,
I run AOKP Galaxysbean V_12
KKO Kernel Governor is Smartass V2 and I/O is deadline
UVLI4 Radio
Problem: I know for a fact this is not a hardware problem, because I have went through 3 phone replacements because of stupidity and learning how to root phone, flash roms, yada, yada, etc. And with each of these phones this persistent problem occurs where all of the sudden at any given time, I will go to make a call and nothing. I can't hear the ring of another person's number, my voicemail, etc. The person does get the call, and when they answer, I still cannot hear them, and they cannot hear me.
Resolution: Ways I have fixed this before are with the first and second phone I flashed over a new radio, (previously UVLE1, UVLH1, 4G Blaze) and it fixed the calling upon reboot. Also I had flashed custom roms, or restored previous Nandroid backups and it worked again. (Little annoying doing this every 3 or 4 days. Though today, this happened with my newest phone, and flashing a radio did not work nor did restoring a Nandroid. This time I had to flash a new custom rom, then it worked. Then I flashed back over the Nandroid and it still works as of now.
Question: Could this be because of the kernel? Or the rom?

same here
Me and my wife have the same issues. We both have GS2s but hers is stock unrooted and mine is running CM10.1. Been dealing with Tmobile for months without success, swapping out cut down on how often its happening but did not fix it. Tmobile is stumped, very annoyed by this issue.
Not sure what's causing the problem but it seems jellybean 4.2 has fixed this issue. Try flashing AOKP 4.2 and make sure noise suppression is enabled and call this number 9143388802. The third option is an echo test and fourth option let's you record a playback to listen to how you sound. If you sound normal and people are still complaining then its their phone.

I've come to the conclusion that its a rom problem because for me it happens with only certain roms. Ive tried all the rom kernel combinations and different radios but the only fix I've found is to retire that particular rom, no matter how good it is. Smoothness aint gonna get the cops or the fireman to your house. The only roms that have worked for me as far as call quality are, for some reason all of TheLastSidekick's Kangs, Darkside evolution 3, Sky Jellybean, Rushing's Bulletproof,and both of the 10.1 variants we have. The strange thing is I can't recall any call quality issue's when flashing roms from the Skyrocket thread. For instance I get the worst call quality ever using Jedi Jelly, but I'm crystal clear using Embryo from the Skyrockets thread, so much so I wont even try our version of the same rom.
I blame T-Mobile network. This would happen to me all the way back to my old flip phones. Every other call or so would do this. I've always put up with it cuz I like T-Mobile customer service.

I actually just realized this problem persisted when I would turn on the phone and try to make a phone call to quickly. After becoming aware of this. I turned the phone off and allowed it to fully boot back up, and it worked again.

I can confirm that this is the problem. I rebooted my phone, called someone right away, and couldn't hear anything. Next I let it load for 40 seconds after boot, and I can hear fine.
Now we have to tell t-mobile this.

This is not the issue, it also happens to phones that have been on for minutes/hours/days.
Is there any updates on this issue? My wife is having this problem on her phone, and it seem like it's been getting worse...

I found out with my problem. It was when I tried to make a call to soon. It would do this. As long as I have let the phone load for a minute or two after boot, I haven't had any more problems. My problem may be different from yours tho. Hope this helps.
I'm having this issue, and its not from calling too quick after a boot.
It came on out of the blue the evening of March 6 ...
I have the Tmob phone but it's unlocked and I'm using a Straight Talk AT&T SIM, connected to the AT&T network in Sierra Vista, AZ.
Ok... I need help. I am such a novice at this stuff but I find myself so very interested in the world of root, and the freedom that it brings. Basically my entire knowledge of computers..... Is Android, and worse than that, I'm self taught... Please don't run!! I'm a super quick study. Ok now to my problem, I started off rooting my T 989 surprisingly enough with absolutely no issues at all, or at least that I could tell. Ran beautiful and super smooth, then I went app hoarding and installed A fonts package installer, opened it, it installed about 85 prcnt. done and crashed. Never made it back. The novice, and the dumbass in me, FREAKED! and did an uneducated, no experience attempt to make recovery....... 4 times needless to say that I COMPLETELY wiped the entire phone. I had a friend bless me and show me a thing or two and I successfully managed to flash one of your Roms to it and I must tell you that I supremely thankful to all who n these projects.... MAD RESPECT to all of you. So the one issue I am clearly having is everyone I speak to says I sound like I'm on speaker or just can't generally hear me. Been through the settings a couple of times and I am pretty sure that I have them correct, and I have not touched anything that I wasn't sure about, and I definitely have completely refrained from pimpin my kernel. I really just need someone who can spend a little time setting me straight on some unfamiliars. Also just have a few stupid questions that won't be the least bit stupid after I get them answered. Any time any one can lend would be greatly appreciated and someone's good deed for the day. Thanks for allowing me to vent guy's

Just leave me some thanks. Under your phone settings, there should be a noise surrpression box. Make sure it is check marked. Every time I do that people have said I sound better. What do you want to do? Change it back to custom rom? P.S. ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS!.. Google will solve many questions too. If nothing helps or you need to be walked through some processes, message me.
Enable noise suppression in phone settings. Fixed my problem.

Open phone dialer, menu settings, and it's in there.

AOSP CM10 DTMF issue ie touch tone menus

Noticed on CM10.1 4.2.1 4.2.2 ROM's that when you call into voicemail or banking menu that requires you to press the dial pad to enter in menus options and account number info doesn't work.
I was able to fix it by turning dial tone touch sounds off in the dialer options. Just thought I'd let you all know in cause someone else is having this issue since a Google search brought up really vague results.
Hope I posted in the right place. Move if needed.

Actually, they work with the tones on. You just need to press and hold the keys a little longer to allow the other end to capture the tone.

I had same problem with liquidsmooth 2.1 RC2, and disabling touch sounds fixed the problem. However now that I upgraded to liquidsmooth 2.1 stable, the workaround does not work anymore. Neither does holding button, it's a set DTMF tone length. my voicemail is useless now. anyone have any idea on how to solve this problem?
UPDATE:
I did some more research, and the only thing I can think is the standard aosp phone.apk is used in both roms. I did find a feature request for it. (URL Below) So let me get this straight, my new phone cant dial a voicemail? or use a touch tone menu for calling tech support?
I would post this in developer forums, as there has been many questions lately about this problem, but I'm not allowed because I'm a noob. Guess I won't find a solution to this problem anytime soon. Seems I cant post links either......

[Q] HyperDrive bug?? Anyone else?!

Hey everyone!
So I flashed to Hyper Drive 15 about a week ago. I noticed if something is plugged into the headphone jack any Bluetooth audio OR speaker phone will not work on my end until the headphone jack is clear.
This happens with headphones and an aux cable.
Has anyone running this Rom noticed this? If you are running it could you try to duplicate it?
I really need this to work I have a bunch of conference calls during the week in my car...
Any fixes or suggestions would be appreciated.
Also WHAT ROM DO YOU THINK WORKS THE BEST? I like having the multi window, that is the only reason I switched, but I feel like cm10.2 ran better with battery life and it never had this odd bug....
Thanks!
Never got that. I did get activation screens that never went away unless I hit home button with just about every boot. That made me to move on to another ROM. The only thing about hyperdrive that I digged was the s4 weather widget. Try De-Tmobilized and see if that floats your boat.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I hate that activation screen... Ok well I'll prob move on to another ROM soon...this one seems nice but almost unfinished...the "report a bug"link doesn't even work!
I'll check out the other ROM now. I'm assuming it will work with AT&T model.
That's for the reply!
