This is a weird one, calls come through only when keyboard open...
 

So I tried making a call today and it was dead silence. The other person could hear me, I heard nothing. Did a reset, nothing. Speakerphone works, as does sound through a headset. So I'm scratching my head, when all of the sudden I just try to slide out the keyboard, and I have sound! Even if it's open just a tiny bit I get sound, but the second it snaps shut, no sound. What gives?

yea I agree with what @Tinkerbell said. I would take that in and have it looked at and replaced, or u can also use a headset as an alternative.

Thanks guys. So, if I take it in for repairs, will the Sprint store fix it if it's rooted, using a custom kernel and all that stuff? I assume it's an easy fix, but I don't want any problems.

Re: This is a weird one, calls come through only when keyboard open...
 

if you plan to take to the store I suggest CWM backup and then odin to stock. Cause they can refuse to service it if they see its rooted.

Thanks. Since I have 2 repair shots near me I took my chances and went in rooted and what not. They ordered me a replacement luckily. So now I have a few questions, unrelated to my original problem:

-Do I have to Odin to stock, factory reset, anything to my old phone?
-For my new one, after I root and install CMW, CMW will bring back by kernel and everything, right? I forget what gets included, and I don't really mess with roms much. Sub question to this, is there a good faq on installing CMW or Odin if I need to? The one I was using has all broken links and what not now. Thanks!

Re: This is a weird one, calls come through only when keyboard open...
 

Derp, just realized the new root includes clockworkmod. So ignore that part of the question.

I'd still like to know what to do with my old phone, and if CMW covers kernels. In addition, I guess it'd be good to know if there's any chance I'd have to update the new phone, or roll it back, if the OS is different.

Re: This is a weird one, calls come through only when keyboard open...
 

I'm going to bump this one last time. Should I revert my phone to stock before I give it back to Sprint, and if so, is there a good Odin tutorial? Thanks!

Thank you. Do you think it's necessary?

Re: This is a weird one, calls come through only when keyboard open...
 

better safe then sorry?

Re: This is a weird one, calls come through only when keyboard open...
 

Yea I guess you're right. I'll come home from work, Odin that sucker and give it back. So my actually last question is simple: a CWM backup takes care of kernels...everything? Right? I forget everything I did to my phone a year ago and I'd hate to lose it.

Re: This is a weird one, calls come through only when keyboard open...
 

CWM backs up your rom, not your kernel. but you dont generally modify a kernel so you just re-install it as is. Also I would suggest using titanium or another backup to make a 2nd backup of the really important data.

Re: This is a weird one, calls come through only when keyboard open...
 

Gah, so I got my new phone, rooted it, and it refuses to do a restore. I'm running CWM 3.1.0.1 I believe. Everytime I try, it says:

Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Error while flashing boot image!

This is infuriating.

I just checked, my backups I made today and last week are gone. They're not in the CWM folder on my MicroSD. Does that make any sense?

Re: This is a weird one, calls come through only when keyboard open...
 

What version of clockworkmod did you have before and which one are you using now?

also did you make that 2nd titanium backup I suggested?

Re: This is a weird one, calls come through only when keyboard open...
 

I don't remember what I had before, but I remember the text was green. Now it's purple. And yes I did, it's just taking forever for some odd reason.

Re: This is a weird one, calls come through only when keyboard open...
 

Annnnndddd now Titanium Backup won't restore. It is randomly just...hanging on random apps. I have no clue what to do.

Gah, fixed it. I found my old one click root, installed that, backups worked and I found my old one. Thank GOD.

Re: This is a weird one, calls come through only when keyboard open...
 

Yeah clockworkmod 2.0(green) and 3.0(orange/purple) are not compatible.
