Hi there, I've noticed, and read, that the top mic on our phone is disabled in AOSP roms, and that it's likely not to be enabled. I've scoured the forums but can't find a reason. Is it an open source thing? A lack of source code thing? Does anyone know the reason? I know that my knowing why won't fix it, I'm just super curious. Thanks in advance!

To my understanding it did work at one time. It created an echo when on the phone and/or on speakerphone. Thus, its disabled now. I havent seen anything about that it wont be enabled again once someone finds a fix.

It seems those working on this ROM don't like to keep people updated so I must fix this myself, but I need help. I'm on the latest cyanogen ROM and mms does not work. It will not send whether on wifi or regular. Does ANYONE have any suggestions of where to look to fix this. I'm not a newb by any means, I've just never ran into anything like this. So any help would be appreciated.
On a side note, not all new members on XDA have no clue so I find it rude and discriminatory to label them as such by not letting them post on the development page and other annoying issues.

This has been a well known issue with the CDMA ROM for several months now. Its by no means knew news. If you would have read the thread for more than 2 pages, you would have seen that. I'm working on a fix for the MMS issue, so we can have a flawless ROM.

I actually read about 50 pages worth and saw nothing. But atleast someone is working on it. I'm going to rip apart the stock ROM and see what I can find. I'm use to working on motorolas, but again, thank you.
I have tried a few Jelly Bean ROMs and have yet to find one that fixes my issue. I am looking for an updated Google Now app that correctly adds punctuation into text messages when you compose one through it. When I say "Send text to (contact) message how are you question mark" I get the message, but how is not capitalized and there is no question mark. There is no punctuation at all. The text body doesn't say "question mark" either. I know this was a GSM issue that Google fixed. How can we get this fix?

Its not a network issue and nothing GSM specific would fix it.
Where do you see that GSM has this fixed?
My Nexus 7 doesn't even work with that.
Clearly Google Now needs an update but I've seen no fix for GSM users, so if you would be so kind, point the way

Wow, I did not know that it didn't work on the 7. I will try to find an actual link for proof, but I called Google about it, and they told me to check the app for an update, because they fixed the issue. Its only the GSM cause Google doesn't sell CDMA. I know it isn't network related, but I thought it may have been 'Official Google Support OTA' related (I made that phrase up, haha).
Let me see if I can get an actual link.

I tried the Xoom version too, which is likely newer. Same result
Now I believe it does use punctuation in searches.

I know that it definitely adds punctuation in when you do a search. I have always been able to get it to do that. This is actually proving to be really beneficial! I thought this was a fixed issue and couldn't understand why the ROMs didn't put it in. Does anyone have a was of testing a Galaxy Nexus straight from Google?

I don't, but hopefully someone here sees it
I am curious myself.
Okay, so I found the link I was talking about. I was wrong. The link was talking about the voice commands app for Builds like Gingerbread. I can't believe the OS has been out this long and it still has this issue! But I wonder why Google was so quick to tell me that I just needed to update my phone... They really made it sound like there was a fix for this problem.
So I guess this is a universal issue?

As far as I know. I wasn't aware of it until you posted. Its definitely a glaring error on their part. It recognizes the punctuation, but when it converts to text, it omits it before it ever is sent out.
GSM Owners please chime in!
So do we know if this is an issue on ALL Galaxy Nexus devices?

So, now that Verizon has put out a leak/test Jelly Bean OTA, are we seeing a fix to this issue? I'm running Bugless Beast and don't want to do a full wipe to find out that nothing has changed...
I know its not written in the code for google yet but the Gnex has the hardware built in. Has anyone been able to activate the chip and maybe write their own code to make it work?

I've never seen it. It's not a ROM issue either, it's up to the support from the kernel which carries along the drivers.. which talk to the hardware.

So nobody knows how or nobody really cares to take the time to do it? Im just curious. I know theres alot of guys on these forums that know how to do a ton, didnt know if it was possible.

So you want someone to try to write a driver to fix something that isn't broken?

isnt broken..what the hell you talking about? It has to be enabled thats all. Obviously if i was smart enough to do it then i would. It was a simple question and i was hoping somebody with knowledge unlike yourself would give me an answer

You'll have to go to Google with that question. It obviously ain't trivial to be done by a community, because I can imagine it would already be done by now.
Actually the work was started on by someone who was developing for the cukoo watch, but was abondonded when google switched bluetooth stack from bluez.
So if you are using an older rom and your hardware supported it you could in theory use this project
https://github.com/android-btle/
Someone else did not like the switch to the new BT stack so they created a project to put the bluez back into android.. Unfourtunately it appears some packages were removed..
http://gitorious.org/android-bluez
Just some of my research into the matter
Has anyone figured out a way to get the Knock On feature? I've done a good bit of searching on this forum and on Google but didn't find anything solid. What's the consensus here?

You need a custom kernel.
Sorry I'm still a bit of a novice, but that would require a ROM that works with that kernel too, right?
As far as I've seen, this is something that is unsupported -- I'm wondering if it wouldn't be too hard to enable.
Has anyone seen a custom rom where this works?
Any idea regarding difficulty of implementing it?

There is a way to get this to work because I've looked it up before. Would definitely drain your battery more. Just do a Google search you will find what your looking for.
