Major CM9 Problem on Xperia Play - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Back when I was on stock GB 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 my volume was extremely loud. Now on CM9 the audio quality is better but the maximum volume is terrible. Also my main problem, recently 1 of my speakers ( the bottom one, or the right one when the phone is open ) stops working and the left one gets EXTREMELY quiet. The only way to fix this is to reboot the phone and even then I usually happens again! WTF! someone help or confirm this is a know problem??

It's not. The volume in cm9 with NEVER be like stock. You can try dsp manager or volume+, but like I said it'll never be stock. As far as the speaker issue is concerned, it's sounds like a hardware issue not a software issue

I have noticed the Max volume on CM9 is quite low, I have to get some extreme sounds for my alarm.

Also 720p video recording does not work and makes my phone force close the app. Sometimes the camera app actually triggers my speaker to stop. I don't believe the speaker failure is a hardware problem I've been using stock 2.3.3 for almost a year with no problems what so ever but with in a month of using cm9 i get this problem typically once a day. That's what leads me to believe cm9 is the cause.

720p does work, I've used it..In order for 720 to work you need to use the correct kernel and wipe everything, not just dalvik cache. There is nothing in the rom that work cause your speakers to act that way, and as I've been developing since android 1.0 (and on cm for over 6 years) I know what I'm talking about. It may be a corrupt download that's the cause, but in general there has never been this issue related to the speaker brought up nor any complaints about 720p when done correctly. Sorry if any of this sounds rude, it's not meant to be

I'm using the included kernel in CM9 RC2, can you supply the kernel that allows me to use 720p? and whats the difference? If you don't have speakers problems with it I'll give it a try. Like I said no speaker problems what so ever on stock GB.... that's why I find this odd.

Cyanogenmod 10 on HTC one x

Hi there,
I know this belongs in the developer forum, but I'm a lurker and don't have my 10 posts yet. So sorry to bother you.
I am experiencing some issues with Cyanogenmod 10 on my HOX. I installed the Endeavour Cyanogenmod 10 Rom (017). It's working great except for one issue. My headset is not outputing audio during a call or anytime. It will output audio over the speaker phone during a call, but not over the normal speaker. It also appears to not output audio over bluetooth. However, it will output audio over the headphone jack. I have played with all the settings adjusting to different volume levels, but this has not seemed to fix it. Is this just a weird jellybean setting that I'm not seeing? or is it just a bug with the ROM I installed?
Any ideas?
Thanks so much!
Josh
updates
After some more tinkering, it appears that bluetooth sound works during calls, but not during music play back. But it still appears that no matter what is done, the front speaker is not functional. I have tried reinstalling the ROM and the kernal.
Any suggestions?
Hey,
try the official nightly's, i'm on 09-23 and everythings working fine so far

I suggest going back to a sense Rom, CM10 is missing alot of stock features, has worse battery and generates a crazy amount of heat.
The temperature the device reaches is beyond even an overclocked ARHD Rom with faux.
Auto Brightness is dull (yet still crazy temps)
Widgets are awful
Camera is awful
Notification light tends to be always green
Plus several other annoyances

Blank screen
Has anyone else been having a problem with the screen going black/staying black after periods of inactivity?
I haven't been able to notice a pattern, but all I know is that, occasionally, my phone will refuse to show anything on the screen when I try to unlock it - other than black. The backlight will still be on, though, and the hardware keys light up.
It's fixed by a simple reset - but it's annoying as hell.
Anyone else out there having the same problem?
I've searched all over the internet and can't really find anything :s
Yes, that's a well known bug with the kernel, try a different kernel
Try IceColdJelly-ROM.
It is running Android 4.1.1 and is way faster and smoother than Cyanogenmod ..
and you don't have this freezing-screen-problem on ICJ..
regars :}
Thanks - I have no idea what either of you are talking about, specially how to change the kernel - but I'll look it up as soon as I get home
I read somewhere that it's a Facebook GPS bug, and since I've uninstalled Facebook it hasn't happened again...
Yet...

Google Music and sound quality on BT...

Hi,
Coming from gnex... so I'm used to stock android ROMs...
So I flashed CM10 and another ASOP ROM onto the gs3... Having two issues...
1) I found that Google Music does not start playing when I connect to bluetooth with my car stereo... even if I press the button on the bluetooth.. I have to start Music manually.
2) The music quality is horrible... there's no bass at all... something is really wrong here... even playing with EQ it does not do anything... sound is very hollow... flat....
I never had these problems with my gnex and stock android roms... even the stock touchwiz for the gs3 from bell it was fine...
Anyone has any ideas?? I really don't want to put touchwiz roms on... If there's no workaround... I think I'm gonna get a nexus4.....
thanks!
This seems to be a common problem with Jelly Bean roms. My phone does the same thing. There are threads in the forums with temporary fixes, but I would say stick it out for another couple days until 4.2 becomes available to us from the developers. PLEASE don't go back to TouchWiz :crying: the nightmares.
-Brandon
I just hope 4.2 comes out soon... I miss my gnex....

Not sure if you're experiencing this issue I'm about to tell you about, or something else.
But a release or two ago (not sure if it's fixed yet), the bass was "broken" for bluetooth on CyanogenMOD/AOSP.
Everyone who updated their CM10 started to experience a loss of bass when using bluetooth.
Prior to that it had been fine.
If it hasn't been fixed yet, I'm sure it will be soon. There is a "workaround fix" listed in the CM10 thread.
In general though, music via bluetooth is a big step down in audio quality vs. using the USB audio, which is now working in CM10.

oh ok... let check it out.
thanks!
those threads can get so long... hard to follow every post..
So it seems the workaround is to make a call beforehand...
Are there any vanilla android roms that don't have bluetooth issues for our s3?
TW roms seem to have crappy battery life...

Distorted Sound

I've brand new T989 with me, I moved to India after purchasing it so didn't got chance to check it properly while I was in USA. I just turned it on today and sound is distorted from rear speaker and in Earphones. Its just unplayable at even minimum volume and its not just with music its with every sound phone makes.. I can upload sample after recording but wanted to ask first if it can be fixed some how? I know its not speaker problem as sound is messed in earphones too. I don't know I feel its Hardware fault but its very rare :\ It is same sort of distorted sound when one preamps the music to make it louder.
Things I've tried 1 factory reset 2.installed clean factory image using ODIN and custom rom. Problem still exists.. Downloading 4.0.4 image to try it out too.
Please suggest if there is any fix available as I can't ask for warranty outside USA and sending phone back and getting it back from USA will cost almost half the price of phone so its not worth.
EDIT: its like something is boosting audio, for a min it started working fine but after reboot its screwed again. Any help would be highly appreciated thanks
Thanks in Advance

[Q] Scratchy headphone audio on latest CM10.1

It's been a while since I've used headphones (because of the audio delay issue), so I don't know if this is new or not. With the last several CM10.1+SGT7 roms, the headphone audio is scratchy. The built-in speaker audio is fine. I thought perhaps it was my headphones, but they work fine on everything else. Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?
Thank you.

Well, I've tried a newer cm10.1 rom. I've never found any other roms that seem as stable (well, I suppose I think the cm10 roms are more stable, but I'm trying to not go backwards). The audio is better, but still scratchy.
When you say wipe everything, do you just mean dalvik/cache? Or do you mean data and/or sdcard as well?
Thanks.

dont wipe your sd card
wipe dalvik,system,cache
Yeah I'm getting the same problem. Audio delay plus really scratchy background noise. I've tried a few cm10.1 ROMs.

Okay. I finally got around to doing this. I generally loathe doing it because it takes so long to reinstall everything.... Anyway, headphone audio is still scratchy, but it's a little bit better (more like a background hiss that's not so noticable when audio is actually playing). It's certainly not as good as it was with the stock rom. It's not so annoying that I won't use it or even enjoy the occasional music/movie, though. Since I primarily use my kindle for reading, I think I'll be fine
Now, if only there was a way to increase the RAM, I think we'd all be happier. Oh, well, one can only expect so much from sub-premium hardware...
Thanks.

Audio delay? Have you tried the recent twa_priv CM10.1/SGT7 roms? They're quite stable and the audio delay has been fixed (one of the reasons why I tried using headphones again).
If you haven't, give the latest rom a try. If you have, perhaps post a message in the developer's section so they know it's an issue.
I hope this helps.
I have the same problem. Sometimes speaker audio is scratchy too.

audio skipping...anyone else have this problem?

I've searched the forums and found quite a bit of people saying they have experienced this, but I'm not sure if they were using notes or not.
For some reason, it doesnt matter what app I'm using, pandora, xm, or the stock players. They all studder just slightly, sometimes more so when the screen is off.
It's not a bluetooth specific thing, it happens over bluetooth as well as the speaker of the note3.
Is there a solution for this? It really drives me crazy and how can I host a party next weekend with this doing that
My girlfriend does not experience this on her nexus 5, is my problem specific to jellybean?
Thanks for your advice!

yep same problem.
i had it on nexus 4 - 4.3. but um, didn't start on my note 3 until after a few days of use. I'm not sure rebooting helps for long. i tried poweramp and jetaudio and stock player. Skips everywhere.
I tried setting decoder priority and buffer size to higher on Poweramp. Not sure if it'll help but we'll see.
I'm on N2 right now that has exact same problem, but BT only related. The micro pauses also differ between the receivers Sony Ericsson MW600 is so far the worst offender, the pauses last 1/2 second, on other receivers it's barely noticeable.
At least on N2 it's not related to the JB version, it was happening on 4.1.2 and 4.3. Changing kernel also doesn't affect the issue.
I suspect the cause is BT doesn't get enough priority and if lot's of apps running on the background it starts skipping. Usually I just reboot the phone then it works fine for a few hours, sometimes I use fast reboot app, that kills background processes it helps somewhat too.

Using PowerAmp I went to Huge buffer and Highest priority and it seems to have fixed the stuttering for me. I'm on rooted stock.
>Using PowerAmp I went to Huge buffer and Highest priority and it seems to have fixed the stuttering for me. I'm on rooted stock.
yup. same. now wish they'd add the same features to jetaudio+ and other players D:
I get this problem often. Odd.
I'm not sure if this is a solution but I noticed the problem went away when I was using different roms/kernel combinations.
Currently I've been using the compulsion kernel with some international roms and the problem hasn't come back!
Is it the kernel or rom I can't be sure. But either way it's fixed.
If someone experiencing problems with their rom wants to try the compulsion kernel and see if the problem still exists maybe it can help a lot of people.
