[i9023] No sound on first call

---

Hi,

Since ICS 4.0.3 and now on 4.0.4, I can't hear my contact and my contact can't hear me on the first call.

I tried to use the speaker, the headphones or a Bluetooth earpiece but none of these work.

The second call is always alright, regardless the output (earpiece, speaker, headphone, ...).

This is not an operator issue, since I changed and had the problem before.

Does anyone encounter the same issue?

The only workaround I found yet, is to call voicemail on the first call so that the second call is alright.

I tried to factory reset the phone while on 4.0.3 and hoped the 4.0.4 update change something on that matter but it didn't.

Thank you for your replies.

Some things to try:

-Flash a different radio (can find all of them in the dev section)
-Full wipe (data/factory reset, format /system, format /boot) and reflash your preferred ROM

I've never had the problem, good luck getting it fixed though.

Thank you for your answer. I might try these when I found out how.

I've seen this bug on many many NEXUS S (4.03 & 4.04)

I think ALL NEXUS S have this bug with all mobile carriers.

Sometimes, particularly if the phone was idle, when you call someone : there is no sound.

It's like the speaker and the microphone were off.

You can raise this bug very easily, maybe 20% of the calls.

Hi,

I have the same issue, in France, with Orange.

Does someone has an idea, even a piece of solution ? It's my work phone, and it's very annoying when a client calls me or when I have to call him in return.

I can test, try .... I need a quick solution :)

Thanks
Sylvain

Are you using a custom ringtone at all? I remember reading somewhere that if you use a format other than .ogg sound file this can happen. I had it happen a few times in the past. If you're using a different format there is Online Audio Converter to convert to .ogg here: http://media.io/

Hope this helps

Conversion of my ringtone done .. waiting for some calls now :)

Don't forget to go into sound settings and choose your new ringtone, otherwise it will be unknown. I forgot after just moving the file over to my phone and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't ring.

Converting the ringtone is not a solution. I'm still having the same problem ...

I'm sorry, I misunderstood the OP. I thought you were saying there was no sound as in not ringing on the first call after reboot. Tells me not to browse XDA after working 22 hours lol. What rom/kernel are you using?
