[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
All your info is good and matching, bootloader, firmware, pda, it's a strange situation how your sound doesn't work.

At this point flashing just the modem could repair issue.

Could you describe how you updated to 4.4.4 or did you get phone with 444?

This may work for you before you start messing with Odin and flashing files.

Try starting your device in Safe Mode to check if a third party app is causing this call related issue.

Turn the device off completely.

Press and hold the Power button.

Once the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo appears on the screen, release the Power button.

As soon as you release the Power button, press and hold the Volume Down key.

Continue holding the Volume Down key until the phone has completed the reboot process.

If you can read ‘Safe Mode‘ at the bottom left corner of the screen, release the Volume Down key. Otherwise, repeat the process until you can boot the phone to Safe Mode

Once in Safe mode try placing a call or have someone call you. Can you hear the person on the other end of the line? If you can then this issue might be caused by certain a certain third party app or apps. Try to find out what it is and uninstall it.

Hi :)

I updated to 4.4.4 with kies from samsung, after a couple of months the sound was gone, as i said before its working with skype, viber etc only with calls no sound. So i flashed the device and installed 4.4.2 still nothing , then i installed another rom still nothing eventually i reinstalled 4.4.2 didn't help and i updated with kies again to 4.4.4 :) tried to do safe mode before still nothing, the device is empty no apps installed.

Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] IGIRACER:
I worked with odin before, if you can explain to me how to flash the modem and where to get the rom for modem will be very appreciated!

Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
When you updated with Kies the process flashes the entire firmware including modem, so at this stage I would conclude that your modem is not the issue.

I think one of your communication apps that you installed corrupted some files and that's what's causing the problem.

Did you try ( if not, do it ) uninstalling all that had to do with communication, Skype, Tango and anything else that does the same , but before deleting apps manually delete the "cashe" and "data" in system, more, application manager. then delete.

At this point you will do a factory reset, because the deleted apps will hide stuff in files that "delete " can't find .

Now reboot phone and test, do not let phone update apps from play store before test, if not working redo Kies again, after reboot do not update apps and test.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] IGIRACER:
That's the thing i did it already. Current status of my phone , its empty no apps installed whatsoever , no skype , no viber nothing the phone is empty. did factory reset, everything. As i mentioned before i flashed the device couple of times with different roms is still not working.

Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] IGIRACER:
Maybe i still need to flash the modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
Modem only deals with call conectivity and wifi reception, both of which you have working.

Sound is a whole different component on the motherboard and system firmware.

But at this stage it wouldn't hurt to try.

Here's the link for the modem

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717073471

, d/l ,open Odin and click PDA slot , attach file to Odin and flash phone while in download mode.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] IGIRACER:
Hi. I flashed the modem , didn't help unfortunately. I am going crazy what it can be, cause the speaker and mic works fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
I believe that one of the call apps you installed created some file changes that jacked - up your ability to have sound while making calls.

These apps can make changes that are hard to reverse, they purposely write to areas in your system that even if you delete the app the change stays there for ever.

Reinstalled firmware should overwrite and repair but apparently it's not happening.

One last thing you can try is going back to Odin and flashing the stock NK2 firmware again but un-check re-boot in Odin and after its done flashing pull the battery (do not allow Phone to reboot )

Wait 15 seconds insert battery, hold power - volume down - home go right back into download mode and flash again with NK2 firmware, you'll be doing a double flash, after the second time pull battery, re-install and allow phone to boot up normally.

This may do it, if it doesn't work after this you may need service repair.

Good luck. :rolleyes:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MarDog:
I am having this issue as well. It does not happen all the time but it is very annoying when I get or make a call and we cannot hear each other. I have reset my phone and the problem continues. Phone has always been stock. Interesting is that the problem will not happen if I chose all calls made over WiFi only. That's not much help though when you leave the house.

I'm hoping an eventual update to lollipop will fix it. It seems like a corrupt file somewhere in the 4.4.4 stock Rom. If not, I'm sending it to Samsung for repair. It's not an app issue imo.

Downloaded signal check pro to see what was going on with my signal and it seems to be related to the switch from lte to cdma when I answer the call. Odd thing though is that sometimes it works fine. Random. Frustrating.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
This could be a firmware/hardware issue with some of the S4's, early in the release of the S4 there where random reports of phones losing sound, and with active warranties people would walk into the local T-Mobile stores and phones would be exchanged on the spot.

It could have been a batch of phones from a certain production run ? Who knows, at least this is what Tmo and Samsung where hoping for, but it appears that whatever this is it is still around or its resurfacing again maybe due to component wear. ???

Maybe some forum member that is familiar with this or knows someone or works for T-Mobile can chime in.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] IGIRACER:
Flashed the modem twice as you said, nothing happened same problem! :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
Here's one more test,take out the sim card and reinstall it.

There have been cases where the problem was the sim card, remove and examine, or the holder (this would entail a repair shop visit )

You can test it by installing someone else's card and make a call, have someone call corresponding number of sim card.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] IGIRACER:
Did this before, removed the simcard, removed the memory stick , still nothing. Will have to go to repair shop then :(

Thank you!

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calvat:
So, rooted, boot unloaded, but running the latest firmware available on stock Xperia stuff, and one issue I've come across (Which was also present when going back to a previous firmware when doing root-exploit)

I can't disable my lock screen. I have to have one.

When I should be getting this.

Instead I get this.

When Googling answers, the most relevant result is someone asking how to go to AOSP lock screen rather than Xperia's. But I don't want that, I don't want a lock screen at all.

So, is there a way for me to cut it out entirely? Because it's not giving me the option to 'None'. I know you can go through and just delete/block specific system apps (The 'No xperia lock screen' thread suggested this), but that was for Xperia's. I don't know if it's dangerous to do for all of it.

Why is this missing? It exists going back to Xperia Z. Is my firmware faulty? Because it's in the list of firmwares (and the only one for me might I add)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
What do you mean? ._. Settings> Security>Screen Lock> None
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calvat:
Yeah, I thought this was the case. I have no clue why I'm missing the option.

Pretty bizarre.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
That is extremely weird. How about you try flashing a different firmware using Flashtool?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calvat:
2 out of 3 firmwares available. The old and new. It was pretty weird, but I suppose it doesn't matter now. I went with Cyanogen 12 since I managed to get some of the things fixed on it.

I'm wondering if it was due to a dirty flash. I havn't seen anyone complain about the firmware I used having any issues like it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndIKnow:
I didn't have it on the previous firmware I was on. D5833. I flashed a D5803 firmware and I have the option to disable it now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calvat:
Isn't doing something like that a bad idea? Doesn't the firmware have to match the model exactly?

5833 and 5803 were different models I thought.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndIKnow:
Haven't noticed any difference yet to be honest. I've flashed roms for both variants and afaik there's no difference at all.

Good evening,

I have my Galaxy S5 Active rooted and running on OA1 Stock and was searching around for an OG Battery Mod to load onto my phone, however the ones I have flashed just send my phone back to stock and I have to re root all over again. Does anyone know if there is a OG Battery Mod for my style of phone?? Thanks in advance for any links or help....

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lfmxdg368:
My Xperia T recently started to have some problems with no apparently reason (no drops, no updates), I have No Wifi, Bluetooth, Radio or Service/Reception. I've tried the following things:

- Rebooting

- Turning Flight mode on and off

- Rebooting without SIM Card

- Wiped Cache/Dalvik Cache

- Wiped Internal Storage Data

- Flash a Stock .ftf

The phone is Rooted, Locked Bootloader, had CWM until i restored the system, now i can't install it again.

I was using "PureXT" (9.2.A.1.205) it worked perfectly for 7 months, i don't think that having that custom ROM had anything to do with this problems, anyway.

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: I have no IMEI.

EDIT2: I send it to SONY, they couldn't repair it, so they send me an Xperia Z1.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyThermal:
Hey guys,

I flashed the factory image of the shamu's Android 5.1.. After I booted it up and signed in, I rebooted to bootloader, flashed TWRP, and rooted. The phone is rooted (as far as I can tell).

When I go onto the Play Store to restore my apps, any time a Google App is updating, when it gets to the "Installing" piece, it hangs and doesn't do anything.

If I Disable that app and reboot, it will do other apps, but every Google App is failing..

Edit: I tried to wipe cache and "Dalvik" cache, still no luck

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Had the same problem. Factory reset fixed it.
[Asus Padfone X and S] tjsooley:
I have converted my padfone x to a padfone s
[Asus Padfone X and S] tjsooley:
The basic way I did it was follow the directions for installing cm12 boot cm12 using fastboot boot cwm6.img instead of flashing unlocking the bl using cwm6 ( I was not running a tested version of att software) then flashing the flash the newest ww padfone s firmware from their webpage then doinf a data format then rebooting to stock recovery and flashing the asus firmware a second time then factory reset.. I kept BL unlock and did not flash new recovery because I will unroot when 5.0 is released. second bonus is incall recording. but the minus is the mobile net connection is based on strongest signal not fastest and LTE band 17 needs to be enabled on each boot using anycut But in my opinion the benefits are way better the the lte thing HSPA is really fast enough. IF these instructions dont make any sense to you dont ask for help they are to advanced for you

Update

LTE has worked it self out. this conversion is 100% and my device is still unlocked BL and SIM

good luck first boot takes along time
[Asus Padfone X and S] tjsooley:
also flash stock recovery then in fastboot boot to cwm6 using fastboot boot cwm6.img and when it loads do a data and system format flash the update from asus padfone s support page. i used the WW one then power off not reboot then reboot into stock recovery (took some time) then flash the update with stock and factory reset

start with this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59623876&postcount=167

then copy the ww firmware to your sd then boot into recovery and format system and data not media and install the ww firmware after that reboot recovery a second time and flash the firmware with the stock recovery it took a few reboots to get it to boot but its golden afer
[Asus Padfone X and S] atinkrios:
After bricking my phone, I managed to push the zip file into recovery mode. However, I cannot update my phone to WW version as it states that Padfone X is a T00D instead of T00N!!!

Or you just installed the CM12?
[Asus Padfone X and S] tjsooley:
I copied the files to sd first and did not factory reset I just formatted data without media

I installed cm12 first and got that booting then formatted my phone and installed the WW you need to use cwm6 to unlock the BL and system MUST be empty when flashing the zip

Can someone confirm for me that call forwarding works after this conversion. I keep getting an error when trying to set up my PhoneFusion account.
[Asus Padfone X and S] Justatechie:
I Can confirm from the start it doesn't work but that's the only thing that doesn't work sadly.

Its really the call settings that are connected to checking the sim card. (It seems like it cannot access my simcard for those settings)

Not sure if an efs restore could do the trick. I do have it backed up I just never attempted to do so, but it raises more suspicion after flashing cm12.1 right after flashing ww fw just to test it out.

Originally I thought it was the pfs firmware because its incompatible with my sim, but it may be a different story.

Edit:

Just found out that the efs partition is responsible for calls as well as anything else with communications but it could also be the kernel as well because it ties everything up.

Let us know what happens after flashing efs partition prior to backing up
[Asus Padfone X and S] wattseb:
I restored just the efs partition. Works like a charm. I had also installed YouMail as opposed to phonefusion. It seems like it was working before I did the restore. If anyone forgot to back up and would like voicemail. I could be wrong. But restoring the efs def brings back call forwarding.
[Asus Padfone X and S] Justatechie:
Awesome that means it should restore most of the call settings as well as bring back the beloved band 17 back.

Thank you for testing it out for me to prove out that it was the case and not just some bug that exists with any custom firmware.

Overall: With any firmware update for the padfone s, you have to restore the efs partition to make everything under call settings and even band 17 to work again.
[Asus Padfone X and S] cawahe:
If I reset the device from the padfone s settings will it work and reset to lollipop? Or will it not do anything? Yes I converted my x to s
[Asus Padfone X and S] electroau:
I spent time tonight updating to the latest lollipop release from the ASUS website . I went straight from the AT&T stock kk rom in one flash to lollipop. It worked. Thanks a bunch for the tutorial.
[Asus Padfone X and S] electroau:
Ok..upon further testing.. I lost lte. I restored moderns, but still no joy... Any thoughts?
[Asus Padfone X and S] Justatechie:
Did you do an efs partition backup from the unofficial version of twrp or did you just went straight to the lollipop fw
[Asus Padfone X and S] electroau:
Ohhh... .. I did a back up of the stock kk modems (all 3 files) . Using efs backup. I tried using twrp and couldn't see where to do the efs portion only.
[Asus Padfone X and S] Justatechie:
There are two versions of twrp, theres one by quarx and theres an unofficial version made by adam outler.

The unofficial version does not support sd card so you had to back up into internal storage and transfer the files out. But it has a unique option to back up the efs partition and can only be restored through this unofficial version only.

The one by quarx has no such option.

Unfortunately the modem backups just store modem fw but not connection and hardware info.

Its really no big deal unless you live in an area where the other bands aren't available
[Asus Padfone X and S] electroau:
Ohhh.. Thanks for the great explanation. My s5 gets 15mbps on lte, the padfone gets 5mbps on h+. So if I understand this part correctly, the efs partition also contains the imei # so I can't use somebody else's to get the connection information back again.. I did a full backup first.. Might have to go back and then back up and then go forward again..
[Asus Padfone X and S] Justatechie:
It contains the iemi just like the modem and It will only work if it the back up and the existing hardware info checks out the same.

Not only that it also contains files related to IMEI, Wi-Fi Mac address, Bluetooth Mac address, Network Configuration that includes call settings which are very much important for the device’s connectivity to work properly. (sadly when we flash any firmware that pertains to the pfs it corrupts some of the important info)

If you did a full back up on twrp it may work but it depends what version you use for it.

If you did a full back up on outler's unofficial version of twrp just do a custom restore for the efs partition only. (The option is only available on this specific version)

If you did a full back up on twrp version built by quarx you may be out of luck to get it restored. :(
[Asus Padfone X and S] electroau:
I wish I knew about Adam's version.. :(... Thanks again for your time, knowledge and willingness to help. I'll flash back over Xmas then use Adam's, breakout the efs separate, flash back to lollipop, restore the efs and see what happens..
[Asus Padfone X and S] electroau:
I kicked back to stock.. Restored the modems.. Lte is back.. Trying to get Adams twrp (all links are gone) so I can backup the efs partition and then install the latest s firmware... Restore efs and see if lte holds... Can anyone please provide a current link to Adams version of twrp.. Thanks
[Asus Padfone X and S] Justatechie:
Nice, but LTE should always be there (sorry if I forgot to mention this), in the pfs firmware, "4g" actually means "lte." and "H+" in pfs fw is actually 4g" (Lots of confusion but thats what ww models do it, one plus is a prime example of this confusion)

Your phone should be able to connect to bands 2 and 4. (Minus the 17)

The thing is that you need to know if band 17 is actually restored since alot of the lte connectivity in alot of areas is 17.

Im kinda hoping that is what it was but hey you never know, so check the band connection using a nice helpful application from the playstore. (Can't remember the name)

If band 17 is indeed restored, its basically more of the reason to use adams twrp.
