Cannot hear the person being called

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load Siphon.
2. Dial a call on the virtual keypad or select caller from the Recents or
Contacts list.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Person being called can hear me; however, I cannot hear the person I
called.  Handset speaker (not speaker-phone) produces no sound.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1st Gen. iPhone with firmware 2.2.1 (5H11).  Siphon 2.0.3-1.

Please provide any additional information below.

Toggling speaker-phone on/off has no effect (still can't hear anything).

Issue seems to occur randomly.  Usually re-launching Siphon multiple times
will resolve it.

Issue did not exist with iPhone firmware 2.2 and Siphona 2.0.2.

Siphon installed with Cydia.

Could you try to hold on/off during the call ?

Original comment by samuelv0...@gmail.com on 4 Feb 2009 at 8:17

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Toggling hold has no effect.

The issue seems more likely to occur after an app has used audio (Zephyr, iPod
player, etc.) but this could just as easily be a coincidence.

There is also a dramatic change in the volume of the keypad tones when dialing. 
Usually if they sound at (what seems like a) normal volume level, the call will 
work
fine.  If they sound at an insanely high volume level, then from what I can 
tell the
audio from the earpiece will be completely muted/silent.  (Possibly a 
coincidence as
well, but in my limited testing is seems to work this way.)

I'm using CallCentric and have been doing a ton of test calls using their test
number.  Last night I tested about 50 calls and the majority had no volume.  I'm
still trying to find out if there's a particular sequence of events that will
re-create the issue but haven't had much luck.

I have the same issue.  I can get it to work by having another app setup the 
speaker. 
I am using voxalot.

this problem also occur if you are on 3G/EDGE data network.

I have the same issue. No audio on my side and poor audio quality on the other 
side.
When I make a call with FRING and go back to Siphon the audio is back. Seems to 
be a
problem with initializing the earpiece audio device on startup. I have tested 
with a
local Asterisk PBX.

i find the same issue happening. I will call and they can hear me fine but i 
cannot hear anything they say. (i 
called my house phone a 10 times to try this out) I also noticed when I had the 
NAT set to on under advance 
settings the program would never fully open. it would open then close after 2 
seconds (basically while it was 
trying to connect) i turned off the NAT and it connects fine. I have the 
Edge/3G set to off in case that was 
interferring with me hearing the other party and I don't have any settings in 
the STUN. i am using sipphone.com 
for my service.

I'm having the same problem.
Previous version worked great, this one has this same audio problem, but in 
addition
to that the person I'm calling says it's completely choppy.

I am having this problem in 2.0.6 as well. 2.0.5 was fine.

I can't hear the person i'm calling. They can hear me but very choppy.

Works fine with NAT disabled. Doesn't seem to matter if its WiFi or EDGE/3G

Iphone OS 2.2.1.

On further investigation, turning off NAT does NOT fix the issue.

I don't know how I managed to get it to work but now after a reboot I cannot 
get it
to work again.

Does anyone have the .deb for version 2.0.5? I'd like to downgrade so I can 
still use it.

Sorry for all the comments.

I found the deb for siphon 2.0.5. Its here if anyone else needs to downgrade:
http://thebigboss.org/repofiles/cydia/debs2.0/siphon_2.0.5.deb

Downgrading resolves the problem.

I've pretty much given up on anything after v2.0.2 because subsequent versions 
are
unreliable with this issue.  It's unfortunate.  There are actually a few 
different
issues logged here reporting the same thing.  I rolled my iPhone back to 2.0.2 
around
the beginning of February, and just this weekend rolled my wife's iPhone back to
2.0.2 from 2.0.5.

http://thebigboss.org/repofiles/cydia/debs2.0/siphon_2.0.2.deb

I used Cydia to remove 2.0.5.  I copied the file with SCP (to /tmp).  Then 
SSH'd into
the iPhone and ran:  dpkg -i /tmp/siphon_2.0.2.deb

Once installed I deleted the /tmp/siphon_2.0.2.deb file.  Then I ran a program 
I got
from Cydia to respring Springboard so Siphon's icon would appear.

Same issue can't hear the person being called, after making along call. I have 
to respring my iphone to get 
siphon running properly again.

I upgraded to 2.06 this morning and since then have had the same issue.  Calls 
go 
through and callers can hear me but the speaker in the iphone does not turn on 
so I 
can't hear the call progress or answer.  I have a 3G Version 2.21.  I did 
notice 
that if I plug in a headset after the call has started - then unplug - that I 
can 
then hear through the speaker.  I just love this product, hope this helps you 
get 
the issue fixed.  Leo

I install siphon and Voipover3g and have this problem too with siphon 2.0.7.

Fixed.
So I remove Voipover3g and everything goes fine. I use wifi instead for now.

Hope this will help.

I'm having this issue as well. Sometimes the audio disappears then next call it 
comes
back.
I'm using an iPod Touch 1G with firmware 2.2.1 and Siphon 2.0.7.
For microphone I'm using a Macally iVoice III and the stock headset for output.

Otherwise, thanks for the great software.

Hi,
I had the same problem after upgrading to 2.0.5.
Followed the instructions found here to go back to version 2.0.2 and got it 
working
again...
I love this application. I hope this problem gets resolved soon...

Thanks,

After searching around for a while I was able to find a single comment post on 
another site with a solution 
that worked for me. The order at which I plug in the microphone and headphones 
has been my biggest 
decider. Since I unplug both to store them when traveling I always used to plug 
the headphones in first 
because the first thing I'd do is plug in the dock cable to charge it for when 
I need to use it. When I actually 
need to use it, only then would I plug in the dock connector. It ends up that 
plugging in the headphones first 
and then the microphone disables the headphone jack output for me in Siphon. To 
fix this, I've been 
unplugging anything I have plugged in then plugging in the microphone first, 
then the headphones. I can at 
least say I've personally had a 100% success rate so far.

*only then would I plug in the microphone.

Sorry, typo.

On a first generation iphone with version 2.2.1 firmware and version 2.0.8 of 
siphon, outgoing audio works fine, 
I can only hear incoming audio if I use headphones. Plugging/unplugging the 
headphones makes no difference, 
neither does toggling hold or toggling speakerphone mode 

Cheers

Dave

In addition to my previous post, I've found that the fix of plugging in the
microphone first, then the headphones (in that order) doesn't always last 
through a
device sleep or reboot. You'll have to unplug them then plug them in again (in 
order)
as noted above.

This worked with 2.0.6 and now works will 2.0.8 on my 1st generation iPod Touch 
and
firmware 2.2.1. Unfortunately I've only read of using this fix on the 1st 
generation
iPod Touch. Sorry.

Since iPhone OS 3.0, it doesn't work at all anymore, even with the trick of 
starting iTalk first and then 
Siphone. Uninstalled it now, as it is completely useless this way.

I have now installed italk on both phones. 1 works OK but the other has no 
earpiece
volume. Has siphon caused some problem? A reset does not fix.

1. iphone 3G with OS 3.0 work well with siphon 2.0.8, no problem.
2. iphone 2G with OS 3.0 with siphon 2.0.8, no audio (but other party call hear 
my 
voice), i have try to plug in the iphone original earphone and mic, it works 
perfect. alternatively, plug in the earpiece/mic first, run siphon and call, 
when 
call get thru, unplug the earphone/mic, audio get normal, i like this app, and 
looking forward to get the patch soon, thanks!

Same problem on iPhone 3G, OS 3.0, Siphone 2.0.8 or 2.1.0 rc3. Have tried

I wasn't hearing the phone ring in the ear piece when I was making a call.  I 
haven't talked to anyone yet.  I'm on Siphon version 2.1.0.  I use Gizmo and 
Google 
voice.  I fixed the problem by putting the same info from the Settings Account 
fields on the Advanced Setting fields.   

Under Settings, Advanced settings, "Proxy Server" I used proxy01.sipphone.com
For "Auth. Username" I used my Gizmo number 1747####### 
"Reg. Timeout" is 55
"Enable NAT" is Off

Hope this helps

I did notice that if I manually dail a phone number with they QWERTY keypad I 
was 
able to hear the call.  I tried serveral times all worked.

Thanks for this nice app.
I have 1gen. iPhone, 3.0 Firmware, Siphone 2.0.8, using WLAN and poivy service.
randomly when I place a call, at the other end they cant hear me and I cant 
hear the
dialing tone. After restarting the app couple times and closing all other apps 
I was
able to use it again. its really embaracing to call people and not talking to 
them
time after time. if more info is needed, please email me.
Thanks

Works great on my 3G, Software Version 2.2.  I had the "can't hear" problem 
earlier
on my iPhone 3G but it was fixed on a subsequent release, now it works like a 
hose. 
My Son however has a 2G, which was upgraded to 3.0.  He has the "can't hear" 
problem
in one direction.  When he calls he cannot hear ring or other party but they 
can hear
him.  I'm out of ideas, do you know of an easy fix for his issue?  Many thanks 
again
for this super application. Leo

Have him upgrade or restore his phone, then re-jailbreak and install Siphon;

for me.

Thanks for the tip theshaze.  Works for me, except we didn't do the original
jailbreak.  I have no experience in jail breaking (blush) having always had it 
done
but am computer literate, is it difficult? Also, will he lose all his 
applications or
can they be restored from iTunes? 

Original comment by leopriv...@tellawcomlabs.com on 20 Oct 2009 at 9:41

[GoogleCodeExporter]

All I can say is that is an extraordinarily easy process, made possible by 
simple
applications for both MAC and Windows. You can find both instructions and links 
to
said applications at the iclarified.com website.

If his applications are hacked(i.e. Installous), he will need to install 
Appsync from
cydia to be able to sync his hacked applications with iTunes. Otherwise if 
legit,
they and his settings will be maintained after the jailbreak. It is a very safe 
and
transparent process.
