Google play services or HTC service pack ?

Hi all ,today morning in updated HTC service pack ,after that I started experiencing the issues like no call,no sound which are narrated in this thread !! I'm on viperone 7.0.1 ,so I reverted back the HTC service pack to earlier version & reboot ,the issue didn't go.! Than I did wipe& restored backup file ,everything normal,no issues !! I have latest Google store, play services & other Google apps running without any issues !!
So my question is the real culprit is HTC service pack or Google play services ??

This worked for a while and now the issue is back. I guess the only workaround now is to freeze Play Service.
What a pain!

Another idea that you can try since my venom enabled phone still works..

Just realized that for the past couple venom rom iterations I've been using the Google dialer app instead, the one with caller ID. You can find it under the themes and apps section.

For myself, I might go back to gpe L for a while, that apparently isn't bugged by this issue, so that's another idea if you can.

This is serious

I had same issue since Monday. I am all stock. Yesterday after snow storm, my car got stuck on off ramp, and I could not call for help. What scared me, if had to call 911.
I am thinking of switching to Windows/Iphone now, atleast they work.

Yes, this is a serious bug/error. Is Google even of it?

This is weird. I updated the service pack and its ok. I did all the op said, and its been working for the last 12hrs.
Call sounds good. The google play services is not on auto update.
S-off, with viper 7.0.1
Elementalx kernel. On .5 firmware

Users who do not know very well where there are reasons not to publish it as a solution to the Viperone update. The most important thing to talk on the phone a phone but can not make it this ROM.

Fixed with Google Play services 6.5.96

My m7 (ViperOne 7.0.1) phone silence problem was just fixed with Google Play services 6.5.96 and a reboot.

As a new user I can't post a link, but the file is at: Apkmirror dot com -> google -> google play services -> Dec 10

The issue is not rom related.
Even users on completely untouched stock rom, without root, experience this issue.

Nope, that's not the trick. Has this version 2 days and the no sound problem comes back. Now I am using Disable Service app and in the Google Play Services I deactivate the CheckinService. 4 hours now with sound when calling. ?

Thanks. Interestingly those were already unselected when I downloaded and installed DisableService. I'll use it if the problem comes back and they are set, though. 1418406196840.jpg

Ok, so here is what I am experimenting with. I restored from a nandroid backup from 10/31. (The Google Play Services is ver 6.1.83). Prior to restoring I did a full wipe, and cleared Dalvik (which probably made no difference, I realize that). Immediately after restart I turned off wi-fi, mobile, and placed the phone in airplane mode. Then using Titanium I froze the Google Play Services after clearing cache. I have rebooted the phone 5 times, and as of now I can still place and receive calls. Naturally, I am getting Google Play errors/notifications like crazy but can make calls. Probably a little repetitious but thought I would try to be somewhat helpful for a change.

    this thread is regarding the recent loss of phone call audio due to updates to Google Play Services

    investigating potential workarounds to prevent auto update of play services without breaking every google app.

    EDIT: this is for rooted users.. if your not familiar with this stuff, please wait till someone can validate this one way or another,

    UPDATE: Confirmed that Google Play Services version 6.1.88 works for this fix. Version 6.5+ is directly responsible for loss of audio.

    http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google.../google-play-services-6-1-88-1557022-034-apk/

    Steps to confimed fix:
    1. revert to functional version of Play Services (see apkmirror link above, from backup if available)
    2. In App details or Titanium Backup etc. , wipe data + cache for Play Services.
    3. Reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik + cache
    6. Freeze Play Store , Play Services will remain @ old version, and phone audio will be fixed.

    this will retain existing gapps functionality, but we'll have to sacrifice Play Store access for now.

    Unconfirm WIP stuff:
    in play store database, there seems to be an auto_update field. Using sql editor, we can try updating this value to 0. appstate table is in data/data/com.android.vending/databases/localappstate.db

    2. set value to 0 in table above for auto update
    4. (DO NOT wipe data for Play Store, we need that sql edit to stick)

    Hot fix now available through venomhub

    If anyone is not following the main viper thread, there is a hot fix that was posted in the VENOMHUB this morning.

    Reports are it is working and fixes the problems.
    Look under HOT FIX in the downloads section.

    Good to see the relatively fast response to this issue.

    Great job Venom.

    removed the zip fix with the 2 sound files. After deepsleep (~2hours) the bug was there again.
    (6.5.99. will test it with 6.5.96 now)

    temp good solution:
    go to playstore and download the app called disable services
    in the app (needs SU permission) browse to the google play services
    and disable CheckinServices.
    reboot

    thats all

    Do I need an older version of google play services or play store or sth or "I'm good to go?"
    And thank you very much ;)

    no you can stay at latest.. only disable the CheckinService with the app from playstore and reboot
