Hey everyone.
Running CM 7.1 RC.
Everything is fine except:
I can't for the life of me answer calls. Everytime I answer, the speakers just don't work/connect. There is complete silence and no Static or signal to indicate that the speaker is working.
I
This is without any headsets.
The only thing I can think is the Scripts for Dolby (Dolby A, Dolby V etc) possibly interferring; But those scripts when running, were fine in other releases and in other roms.
Tried different with Kernals (LordMod) - No luck
Its proper weird as I have reflashed the CM 7.1 ROM again and the answer function works for a while only to revert back to not working again.
I can make calls fine though. Just answering them is the issue; I'm using up my minutes this way!
I am not using nor installed CallRecorder or any such software.
Any help please people? Much appreciated.
Any suggestions please?
Have you tried a clean wipe (that's wipe data cache + formatting the system partition) and then installing a stock rom or a rom that has not been worked on too much.
I know this is a lame way but it could work. The reason I'm saying this is because a lot of issues people have can easily be pointed to the wipe not being done properly before rom flashing.

Hi,
Having flashed the [ROM] HiApk sensefun GSv1.0[Android2.3.3/Sense2.1+3.0]No Partition/SV stable]: ROM, I seem to have audio issues and was wondering whether anyone had any advice on the matter.
This is the procedure I followed:
1. Wipe / Format Data, wipe cache and delvik cache.
2. Flashed the rom.
Everything worked well except when I try to make a phone call. The call gets connected but I hear nothing from my end (Both earpiece AND loudspeaker). However if I were to receive a call, then everything is absolutely fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071051&page=26 Post #254 explains it as well, but no solution to this. Flashed both versions 1.0 and 1.1 and tried it 3 or 4 times before resolving into sending a private message. Please help.
I have the latest radio and a stock hboot with s-off. I have to admit that I have a sd-ext3 partition on the sdcard, but I gather this shouldn't be an issue?
I really like this rom, but seeing as it's a phone, I think it problamatic if I can't make calls. Any help you can provide on the matter would be most helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Asks.
It appears that no one has advice on this matter? Any help?
Calls worked until I installed cm10.1 nightly. Now I can't be heard unless i turn on speaker phone. Sound is still crap but at least I can make a call.
I have tried a few nightly's and now I'm on the people's rom 3.14. (Loving tpr by the way). I doubt it is a hardware issue based on other reports and the fact it was fine until the custom roms.
I still use my phone as a phone from time to time and need it to work or I have to go back to stock.
Thanks
Could have been a bad flash / download
Did you check the md5sum?

Let me make sure I'm understanding you correctly:
Your mic was working fine until you flashed the CM10.1 nightly. Afterwards, the other person could only hear you when you were on speakerphone.
You switched to TPR 3.14. This switch did not fix the mic problem.
You're thinking that switching back to stock (presumably unrooted) will fix this issue.
Please correct me if any of the above is incorrect.
If he issue isn't hardware-related, I'd bet it has to do with the kernel. Let me ask you the following:
Which CM10.1 nightly did you install? Did you see any other issues in the CM10.1 thread which might indicate problems with the nightly you flashed?
What kernel did you use while on CM10.1? I know that the newer kernels (3.4.y verses the old 3.0.y) have had issues and are just recently getting stable.
As CNexus asked,did you check the md5sum for the TPR Rom you flashed?
When you flashed TPR, did you do a full system wipe, or only a Factory Reset (data) wipe? I believe since you were coming from a 4.2.2 Rom (CM 10.1) to a 4.1.2 Rom (TPR), you should do a full system wipe. Some remnants of the CM10.1 kernel/system files could still be there, messing up the mic.
I would think re-flashing TPR (after checking the md5sum) with a full system wipe would fix your issue, but answering these questions would help us diagnose the problem better.

I think you have the symptoms correct.
I did a data wipe but not a factory reset before each rom install.
I started with this rom
cm-10.1-20130303-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip
I tried 3/13, 3/24 and 3/27 before trying TPR3.14.

Yeah, a full system wipe might be the ticket. Let us know if that works.
I'm Back Baby
I tried a system wipe and a rooted stock rom. This didn't work. I then tried the LJ7_Stock_with_count_reset16 rom and my sound was ok. I cleaned out the mic hole with a pin and bam sound was like normal. I'm now back on TPRGS3.14 and everything is good. I think I had 2 issues but possibly only 1. messed up mic from multiple flashes and crap in the mic hole. I guess checking for a physical problem even as small as a mic debris is an easy first step.
thanks for the suggestions
hi, after flashing any aosp rom (slim rom, cm, paranoid, ...) my microphone is dead. i don't hear the other caller and he can't hear me. the microphone is fine because when i flash a tw rom afterwards everything works fine again. interestingly the mic works after the first restart after the flashing. as soon as i restart for a second time the mic is dead.
it does not matter wheater i flash with clockwork mod or twrp. i always make a full wipe (cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, internal memory, rom; basically all reset options twrp offers) before installing the new rom. i install the new rom (any aosp rom) with a new kernel that fits the android number and the correct gapps. sometimes i used the old kernel but it makes no difference regarding the mic.
i don't think i make anything wrong during the process because everything else works just fine. so far i always ticked the box to restore data with my google account, can this be the problem.
any clues where i go wrong? i hope someone can help me with that problem because i love my note 2 but i hate tw.
thanks in advance.
Hello,
My apologies if this was answered before. I was on the stock ROM until a few months ago, but every ROM I tried had flaws that was difficult to deal with in a productive manner. My phone is on the T-Mobile Network.
I am going to post my procedure and my issues, in case I am missing a step.
1. Rooted Phone and installed TWRP via FreeGee
2. From TWRP recovery, I wipe the data from the SD Card partition and paste the ROMs there.
3. Then I wipe the system, cache, etc.
4. Install Custom ROM
5. Install GAPPS
6. Wipe Cache
7. Reboot
Issues:
1. One common issue I am experiencing as that no matter what ROM I use (CyanogenMod / BLISSPOP / SlimLP), I have to install the following patch or else no audio can be heard on either side of the call.
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/general/news-cm-12-e980-lte-phone-t3063079
2. Is there anything that brings back the IR functionality of the phone on a custom ROM? I know many people might not use it, but I used it extensively and miss it lol.
3. Bluetooth doesn't seem to work correctly with Voice Assist.
- I am using the Plantronics Voyager Edge
-- Calls works with no issue
-- The headset works on Apple Devices with no issue.
- However, on my e980 whenever I activate voice assist.. My phone changes to the google voice screen where it is waiting for input but it never hears what I am saying. The dots that usually move as you do not move like it is not taking any audio from me. (I enabled the setting to allow recording from BT devices).
Just got called for work, so not wording everything this the way I initially wanted to. My main concern is #1 issue, no one ever talks about needing that file in the ROM instructions so I am not sure what I am missing. I had some other issues like the black screen of death, but that was resolved by the SlimLP ROM.
I am not sure if the call audio or bluetooth issue sare related to the radio firmware.... which I seen people mention upgrading the radio firmware but not many instructions on how to find and install the right one.
Thank you for your time and any provided information.

1. That one is because of TMobile, every E980 ROM I know about has same issue... Can't do much, because I'm not sure if including the tmob. fix won't break device for others.
2. Only KK ROMs, I'm trying to port LP QRemote but no luck so far...
3. Havey you tried latest Bliss & Slim builds? Bluetooth quirks and bugs should be gone or minimal now.

Thanks for the reply and for letting me know the reason for the issue is TMobile. It would explain why the issue is not spread further lol. I tried bliss and am running the latest Slim build but my bluetooth headset still can not send commands to android voice a assist. It works flawlessly on apple devices though lol.
Do you know if I should be flashing the firmware for my bluetooth or lte radio?

Welcome to AOSP, where bluetooth is mostly broken on unpopular and older devices. I've tried updating bluetooth drivers and that brought nothing but troubles; I'm using patched up bluetooth repo for Slim ATM, it should fix most of the problems... That thing is shady... Will see what can be done.
Hi so basically I was running Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 and decided to upgrade to 6.0 (based on Android 8.1), anyway that was going fine now I'm not sure when it happened but all my audio is coming out of he earpiece instead of the loudspeaker and I can't change it!! I've tried everything including reflashing my backup of 5.7.5 (Android 7.1) which was before this happened but it still witness go away.
I've tried:
Clearing caches, formatting system, data, dalvik catch, cache, reinstalling my backups of my ROMs several times, reformatting the aforementioned partitions, looking online, build prop tweaks, taking more calls to try and trick it into staying (I though maybe a call made this happen because the earpiece is the default speaker for that), changing firmware (to 8.0 then back to 7.1) but NOTHING and it's driving me mad. I've had an unending number of software problems since getting this phone and I'm getting really really sick of this. Someone please please help me please. I need to be able to hear my alarms.
Sam.
