    Thread No in-call audio for cellular calls... BT calls work fine though

    Hi all, I've owned my S4 for a year an a half and out of nowhere started experiencing a huge issue today. I have no audio whatsoever - earpiece or mic - when making a cellular call. I dial, and the call goes through (the other party receives the cal), but I have no audio. Even when plugging...
