Hope so i would love to try roms again...

but if that is the solution then we all know that our beloved gs3 got no hardware bug :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elloar:
My Problem was that nobody understood me on the phone.my voice was too quiet. I've had ​​siyah 1.3.1 on it. Now I'm on 1.2.6 and everything is fine again. In my case it was wrong or a kernel with a little bug.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
I am on the latest CM9 Nightly with Neak Kernel... got the Bug after pulling out the battery for a minute it worked again...so strange O_o
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zabalba:
The low volume bug is something else all together. This I think is not related to the no sound on call bug.

VERY interesting thread.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
So now back to stock again... i dont know why i am testing this so much...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkchop8:
i dont know if this is a coincidence. Every time i use a stock rom and do my mods (titanium backup, setcpu, startup manager, copy files into file system) it works fine. But if i use a custom rom (omega, foxhound etc) with the same mods, the bug appears.

Could it be the ODEX vs DEODEX?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] box4m:
i think the volume is abit low
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fasst:
I have this annoying bug myself and have used a lot of time trying to find out whats going on, without any luck.

Currently running stock rom rooted and with minimal changes and its bug free.

But could someone please try this? Just to confirm that we experience the same thing.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
i think really that this is the problem
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_84:
If this is really the reason that would mean that somebody who got a custom Rom and got call bug should try to restore the boot sound. Maybe it helps. Can somebody confirm that?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citronbitare:
I don't believe it has anything to do with that. I have tested stock odexed as well as stock deodexed extensively and it seems to me that both behave in the same way as regards system modifications and activating or not activating the bug. I do, however, believe that stock firmware (even if rooted and deodexed) allows for more modifications then custom roms without bringing the bug to live.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkchop8:
then Chris_84 might be on the right track. The only diff i can think of is the boot sound is off, camera shutter off, zipaligned?, busybox? and shutdown animation/sound.

can anyone add to this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_84:
Ok I renamed the power on file reboot and no call sound. If I renamed it back to original call sound back again. I'm on stock rooted Alf 6. It would be interesting if someone on omega for example and got that bug to put power on ogg in system media and try if it work. Would do it by myself but I'm not at home till Friday.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Five of us have S3's in my work and two of them have issues with sound so i've just took one of them to see if i can get it working.

Doesn't seem like a persistent issue as it doesn't happen all the time so i am pointing towards the network, if it was some sort of system file then it wouldn't be so sporadic and would happen all the time and for this instance that seems not to be the case.

He's with o2 and where we are the signal is nothing short of awful.

I'm on orange an have 0 issues with audio or signal for that matter.

I've just flashed siyah's kernel onto it, they're all rooted too, i did them all myself, in exactly the same way from the same computer.

Going to do a few tests and see if the problem occurs now, he's on Omega 6 for the time being but would like to update him to 7.1

Will let you all know how i get on, he's going to return it anyway but i'd like to know how to fix it just incase it happens to me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_84:
Anything new?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
Some people reporting that with XXBLFB Modem the bug is gone but have not tested it yet...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citronbitare:
Sadly flashing the XXBLFB modem doesn't solve the problem either (at least not on rooted stock firmware). Removal of camera audio files on /system/media/ui still causes muted call sound after second reboot.

*** via Tapatalk ***
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zabalba:
Have you tried flashing Omega 8.0 and testing to see if you can activate the bug?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
I am on Stock XXBLFB Rom with Root and renamed the Camerasound. Changed various things with NEAK App. Also freezing system apps with titanium. Just had the bug once and a reboot solved the Problem. it never popped up again.

So for me staying on Stock with Root and Custom Kernel (NEAK) works perfect.

Got very good Batterylife, Performance is top...

As for now i am staying on Stock(updating only Stock Roms via Odin) with Custom Kernel.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkchop8:
can someone on omega 8 rom experiencing the bug restore startup and shutdown boot sound as well as restoring camera sound?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citronbitare:
Sorry can't test that this week. I am on holidays on the countryside and only have very slow internet here. Can't download a rom with hundreds of megabytes.

*** via Tapatalk ***
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
Maybe i can test it if it works tomorrow
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElenaPower:
I am on stock ALF6 rooted with NEAK kernel. Same for me with Neak app and freezing several things with Titanium. Works pretty fine till now.

Can you say something about BLFB concerning ALF6? Any noticable differences?

Which BLFB did you use, from samfirmwares the UK version?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
I used the UK one from Samfirmware right :)

i think its a little bit quicker and faster... and some new animations(when switching view in mp3 player)...

its a really good update...

Downloading Omega 8.0 and test for you guys ;-)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAMJAMAL:
I upgraded to omega 8 and had siyah 1.2.6 on, everything was fine and then as soon as i tried boosting the volume in siyah and rebooted it all went wrong! No audio in calls and i just rebooted after leaving the battery out and it now sounds like a darlik!

Great.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
So...

yesterday i made some little tests:

1. Flashed Omega 8.0 then flashed NEAK after the frist boot.

2. Restored Apps with Data using Titanium Backup

3. Change somethin via CWM/Omega Files

4. Rebooted serval times and Sound remained

But i must say i am very happy with Stock XXBLFB(wow is this me writing :confused:) and NEAK, so for me i quess

the time using a Custom Rom is over... of course i am a flash addict and will try things but for daily usage i think the Stock roms with Custom Kernel and manual delete unwanted apps is very quick and stable (i had never the bug on stock).

So for me i'll stick to stock as long it works with NEAK Custom Kernel :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkchop8:
did you try modifying the file system? e.g. putting a ringtone file into system/media/ringtone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
Haven't tried it sorry. But for me on other Roms I lost the call sound when using omega files I mean flashing something from there. What worked yesterday.

It's really strange that no one gets a Clou about this bug...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkchop8:
Could it be the newer firmwares are working? The last time i tried was Omega 5, 6 and 7. As soon as i flash it and did 1 mod (e.g. titanium) the bug appeared.

XXBLFB may have solved this issue?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citronbitare:
No, on original XXBLFB firmware the bug is still there. I have already tested that.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citronbitare:
Well, I was on stock XXBLFB last weekend. First I had call sound, but when I removed some files from /system/media/ui this brought the bug back - as usual... :-(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zabalba:
I just installed AOKP. Restored all my files, etc.

I called myself to find I had the bug reactivated. However I found this post in the AOKP thread. I'll let you guys know my findings.

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

Scratch that. That fix did not work :(

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

Anyone think this might actually be hardware related? Perhaps we have a different hardware component than the rest and something is not playing nice?

Is there anyway to compare without doing a hardware tear down?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zabalba:
another update:

I flashed this FLB version of the modem from the CW website. I rebooted several times and I still had sound on AOKP. I will post if anything changes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
EDIT: Little Update, tried latest nightly again but this time with cm9 kernel and LFB modem. Did Titanium Restore etc. restarted servial times ... still no bug :)

ill keep you updated guys!

I tried latest night yesterday with LFB Modem with Titanium and everything didn't changed something on system just used Neak received bug after 2 restarts

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
Another Update, right now i am on Miui V4 Beta with Neak Kernel.

No matter what i change on system created folder etc.

Call Sound remains on reboots.

EDIT: changed EVERY camera sound and still call audio.

Modem is the new one on Miui.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
Using the stock XXBLFB firmware (with startup & camera sounds removed, though) witth BLFB modem, I wasn't hearing any sound in calls, but following UpInTheAir's suggestion in this thread to flash the DXLF3 modem, calls are working normally again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
I tried now for some days the miui leaked beta. I had not even once the call audio bug no matter what I changed call audio was still there. Then I tried Omega 9 and had the call audio bug after the first reboot... I installed without bloadware... Maybe there is something in the "bloatware" that is needed... I don't know what else I can test... So maybe I ll stick to miui or stock with kernel...

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_84:
Will try today to flash omega 9 with bloat ware. Also I will try to restore user ui folder in media to get boot sound back. And with the new modem. Keep you updated if it works.

Edit: Flashed omega 9 with full wipe. Before I done that I made a copy of the ui folder in system media from stock rom and flashed the dx modem. After installation I replaced the ui folder from omega with the one from stock that I got the copy from. I rebooted the phone five times now and still no bug present. Will let you know if anything change and will do some more testing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamIrene:
me yesterday facing almost have the same problem with TS / OP

either I call other or other call me, can't hear any sound at all

and the time is counting, waste my money a lot =_=

yesterday using stock rooted XXBFLB, today using rooted XXBLG1 no more problem already
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
But isn't it strange that on miui everything works? But as far as I remember bootsound was present in miui.

Have you changed something in system again? Or anything new?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_84:
Changed nothing in system. But will try to install custom kernel and install some mods.

Edit: Another update. Flashed siyah kernel and jelly bean animations. Call sounds still there even after reboot.:)

Edit the second: Rebooted like six times or more deleted dalvik cause installed grey scale theme. Everything works like a charm. No call bug for now. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
I am staying on galnets miui v4 version. Its super smooth and everything works.

But would be funny if really the ui folder is the problem.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_84:
For me it's the one who produced the problem. I reflashed the rom cause I don't like the theme that much reflashed the kernel and replace the ui folder. Everything works for now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_84:
Or would be interesting if someone can confirm that who got that bug and who is on a custom rom. Just replace the ui folder in system media with one from a stock rom and report back.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkchop8:
Did the following this morning:

Full wipe

Installed Omega 9

Siyah 1.38a

Installed Titanium Backup (froze apps), Startup Manager (unchecked apps to load), SetCpu (undervolt etc)

Updated toggles with Quickpanel settings

Transferred ringtones into system/media/..

Overwrite an apk in system/app

Downloaded files from Omega 1.05 and used CWM to update

100% working!!! No more call bug. Earlier versions animated the bug when i actioned any one of the above (except for full wipe).

Quite happy with the phone now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_84:
Yeah deleted system app too and after reboot call sounds still there:) Did you restore bootsound or did you leave everything stock except the ringtones?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkchop8:
i didnt restore anything. Left it at Omega 9 stock but did a custom install. I dont like the boot sounds :)

Im running the process above again as we speak to see if it was pot luck. Will report back in about 1hr

update

Was no pot luck

Everything works 100%
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexwontlose:
Strange i flashed Omega 9.0 did Titanium and bug came up after reboot..

I used neak kernel...maybe in new siyah something is changed...

Ill stick to miui v4 for now, its super smooth with no bug.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slofmb:
not even in stock

I have the same symptoms. It all started in foxhound 0.8. A reboot would first solve the problem. After updating to 0.9 and then 1.0, i cant get the problem to go away. NOT EVEN WITH STOCK UNROOTED. The phone was bought in Cyprus so it uses the EUR csc's I tried flashing i9300XXBLFb both with the UK csc and the greek csc which came stock on my phone. but whatever i do when i dial *#1234# csc is "unknown"

It is starting to make me nervous. I 've tried flashing 4-5 different roms, including miui v4 which people said is working fine and i still cant get the calls to work. I get no sound at all. The speaker and mic work fine. Skype works perfectly so no hardware fault. It seems realy weild that flashing to competely stock (format caches/dalvik, factory reset, format internal sd , removed external sd, flashed clean stock rom, no root) and still doesnt work.

Anyone else with me?
[HTC One X] C56X:
Does exiting apps via the task manager free phone memory?

If not, is it recommended to install an app that accomplishes this?
[HTC One X] dr9722:
You can use the built in task manager to kill problem apps and to free phone memory.

DO NOT

download any other task manager or app killer from the market. They mess with the OS, decrease battery life and will cause your phone to become unstable.

Besides, the OneX has plenty of memory. Unless you are a hardcore gamer there is no real reason why you would need to free up more memory.
[HTC One X] C56X:
Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks, bro! :)

Hello every one :)

well first i have to thank every one here in this site and this development section ,, i was following work here for more than a month and i can say its nothing place like XDA .

So i wish if any one can help me , i am new in android world and i am about to buy my first android cell phone and i wish if i can have any help .

I was searching for suitable phone and i found 4 phone close to each others in price and spec. some have dual core processors and other have good camera .

I cant pick one so if any one can help me plz :confused: .

this phones are

1. Xperia Ray

2. Xperia Arcs

3. Xperia U

4. Xperia Sola
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] footatoes:
if you have lot of money, i would recommend you to choose the most expensive phone
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] oxzone:
Prizes may differ but I think the Ray is more expensive than the new dual core phones?! I would go for the Sola or U, preferable the Sola, I think it looks nicer!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stinky dentist:
well money isnt big issue coz all 3 has almost same price :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ForsakenNGL:
Depends on your needs...

1. Xperia Ray: Great screen, the size for some is a disadvantage, but not for others.

2. Xperia Arc S: It's great, I didn't got it because it was expensive. Great choice, best imo.

3. Xperia U: only 4GB, no card slot, 1320 mAh battery - no way

4. Xperia Sola: Specs look nice, but a 1320 mAh makes me avoid it.

Besides these look for the support in the XDA community, if there's not enough development for it what's the point.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stinky dentist:
well first thanks for ur reply and thats true ray is a little bit expensive than xperia U

and little bit cheaper than sola and sola have strong dual core processor like U against single core processor of ray and arc but ray has better ppi 295 against 280 for U and better camera 8.1 MP ,, i am confused !:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stinky dentist:
then if we giving scores lets say

RAY : +1

ARC s : +2

U : -2

sola : 0

and i am sorry i didnt get that part about battery 1320 mAh or above :/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KristianKenneth:
what is wrong with 1320 mAh battery?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ridho1:
If you have more capacity, then you get longer battery life. :-)

I really like my Ray. Beautiful inside and out. And I like when someone near me always ask what type it is. :D

Although I have a plan to buy Google Nexus, I will not sell my ray. :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stinky dentist:
so u mean if i have more than 1320 i get longer battery life ?

and yes ray is lovely phone i like it but when i was checking the site to buy it i found this and i conseder that Sola and U is new phones and i was thinking about future which one will get next sony support 2011 xperia phones or 2012 ?!!

thats stops me !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lokenok:
Buy an Arc S

1.4 ghz

1500 mAh same as our ray

8.1mp exmor r

4.2 inch screen

241ppi

NO FRONT CAMERA!!!!

OR Ray

1 ghz

1500mAh

296ppi~

Front cam

Exmor R 8.1 mp

Sola and U have dual core processors but so less battery

but if you dont care bout batttery life then get sola because it has micro sd card and nfc,, and 3.7 inch screen

gl choosing
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ridho1:
No, it still depends on the component's usage. It is just like this, Xperia Sola has a dual core processor which consumes more current. With 1350 mAH in a dual core phone, I believe they will get a headache. :D

And dont worry about support, you know that XDA has a lot of talented developers. ;)

Rather than to buy a "fresh phone", I prefer to buy a new "old phone" because it has many developers. :)

But if you just use your phone as general usage (without rooting, unlock bootloader, bla bla) so buy the Xperia Sola. It looks nice also. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stinky dentist:
well i have to say u get into my mind :D

XDA dont have many developers it has the best ;)

and about battery life i know thats every user nightmare and i guess the only thing that get me angry is to see my phone die at middle of party after using it to take some pics and may listen to music

the sec thing i am a dentist and i can say dentists are artists and handicraft men :D ( thats a true ) so want it pretty

but i am also a tech geek and i know i will try to work on my phone ( that cost my on of my phone wich is moto k1 R.I.P. XD ) but i guess i wont work in my android for next 2 years :D :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] acchi3:
You will not regret buying ray :D

Stylish phone with the best spec than others :p

All of my colleagues was amazed when they see my Xray :rolleyes:

Well, two of them also bought it :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ridho1:
Lol. Me too. So in my class has 3 rays with different colors. Lol.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stinky dentist:
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL well i want be unique i guess i am not get ray coz this will make me 1st to get it only :P :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Knight47:
Go 4 arc s or if you have more money buy galaxy s3...coz I'm gonna buy sgs 3..................:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stinky dentist:
thanks bro and about S III yes i am dentist but i dont make all that money :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MrTapa:
The ray has the best camera . The ARC S has a big screen and its faster than ray but its camera is not that good(Ray has the best camera in colours every made in the phone history). If you U and sola are also good but they dont have MicroSD slot so the choice is yours:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Knight47:
Hey dentist don't buy xperia u ...better you to buy xperia s then.. ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stinky dentist:
thanks bro ^^

well sola has MicroSD slot but i am with u ray is one of the best smart phones and its camera its 8.1 ! buti guess it wont get any updates soon like next android system gellybeans
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
From these, I would go for Arc S. I like the design and specs are good enough for me.

Oh wait, I am actually going to buy it. Soon...very soon.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stinky dentist:
thnx for ur reply but i dont have money for it :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stinky dentist:
well i guess sola and U is better and if i am going to buy a single core phone it will be ray :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sucker for sony's:
I really fancy getting a sola, a work colleague has got one and I keep looking at it and its a lovely phone that is sleek, best of all for me it has a 12mp camera so yeah I am really tempted to get one. I would never get rid of my ray though because its a perfect all rounder, or you could say its a down the middle of them all kinda phone and is relatively cheap.
