Bugs and Annoyances on Black Ice

Hello, I'm currently running the latest Black Ice nightly (from 7/16) on my Inspire 4G. I love this ROM but there are a few bugs and annoyances I have. I have searched the forums with no luck, and hope somebody who has had similar problems could help me solve these.
- When I select text (for example, half a sentence) and hit delete, occasionally it will start deleting the letters in front of my selection, but will keep the selection intact (as in, it stays shown as selected but acts as if its not). This is seemingly random and happens maybe once every ten times I make a selection. I can fix this by unselecting then reselecting.
- Sometimes when I plug in my headset to talk to someone, I can hear them through the headset but they cannot hear me through it. I can fix this by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
- GPS takes forever to find location. I have tried a few different GPS settings from within IceTool with no luck. Using GPS Status I can get 7-14 locks, but Google Maps still won't find my location.
- Apps also seem to force close occasionally. I don't know how to use all of the features in IceTool or the other tools that come with the phone, so I don't use them. Perhaps there are settings or tweaks that would make my phone more stable? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Again, great rom! Thanks!

Reboot into recovery, fix permissions.
Nightly releases are experimental.
If you want a stable release you can flash either v1.50 or v1.60
I've never flashed a nightly so I can't help you much with that part.

Fixed permissions, and flashed stable 1.60. I'm still having the same problems. And now sometimes people can't hear me when I talk. I will call someone (or they will call me), I can hear them fine but they cannot hear me. I've tried reflashing a few times. Can anybody help?

I would say flash a stock rooted sense rom to find out if the issue persists. If it doesn't, report back after a full wipe: Format data/Factory reset, wipe dalvik, Format all partitions (except sd card). Download the rom again, flash it after the wipe obviously :silly:, check to see what problems you are having if any. After that we will work something out. I have a few ideas but I would like to find out first if it happens in the stock rom.

Logcat would be good too

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. I won't be able to reflash until Monday, so I will post the results then. What is logcat and how could it help me?

The logcat helps identify a problem. I know Guy doesn't know how to read one, nor do I, however, a dev or someone familiar with logcats would be able to see, if anything shows, where the problem could be.

[Q] Dial up tone sound when making calls

I have been flashing ROMs for years and can almost always resolve issues on my own but I am stumped and can't find answers. I have been getting random aol type dial up sound when I make some calls. Even once I hang up the call the sound continues until i turn off my phone and turn it back on. Of course this seems to happen at the worst time so it is rather annoying. I first noticed it on RC8 then RC9 I have tried several other roms and even flashed root66 to try and resolve this. I have also flashed kootz kernel, lean kernel and the kernel that comes with some CM based roms and nothing has worked so far. I am looking for help if anyone has ideas I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance

phone.apk issues

I have been having this issue only with aosp based ROMS, where i will dial a number or answer a phone call and once i put the phone to my ear the screen shuts off like it is supposed to. It has a lot of trouble turning the screen back on once i take my face away from the phone. Its kind of an issue because then to get back to using my phone i have to take the battery out, and if someone doesnt answer they get a voicemail of me struggling. Its happened on sbrissen's cm10 and cm10.1 roms as well as slick_ricks aosp based roms. Just to clarify this is not a complaint, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and if it can be fixed somehow or if its not a device specific issue. Thanks in advance for anyones help, its greatly appreciated. Thank you as well to sbrissen and slick_rick for the great roms, i still use them daily even with this issue.

No audio during calls

As the title say, whenever i make a call or someone calls me i can't hear anything on the other side but they can hear me.
It started suddenly a few days ago, a temporary fix was to keep restarting my phone until it works again but it usually only works for one call and after that its back to no noise. I already tried unrooting, going back to stock and wiping my data completely so its factory reset but the issue still remains.
Thank you for taking the time to read my problem and i hope to read any advice you might have for me.

Urgent and Serious issue with audio! HELP needed. please!

Guys, I have this one major issue with audio in my phone and its the rarest of the problems! The whole audio output stops completely. By completely, i mean even the receiver sound. completely dumb! cant hear anything if someone calls me. This has been occurring since a month or so. I am running on Cyanogenmod 11 M8. Even if i restart the phone its stays the same way. And all of sudden, randomly, the audio back again, working properly. when it goes dumb it stays like that for 5 6 hours. it happens quite often. this is throwing me off totally.
Device : Galaxy S3 SGH i747 - At&t
This problem happens:
1) when i am on call, suddenly it goes mute.
2) when the phone is kept idle for more than 3 4 hrs. So every morning its dumb when i wake up.
These are what I've tried and what I've found out:
1) I reverted back to stock 4.3 to check if its the problem with audio hardware. But in stock it worked perfectly and flawlessly. no issues there. SO its definitely got to do with cyanogenmod.
2) I flashed ktoonsez kernel on CM 11 M8, to check if its kernel problem. But its happening again. SO its not the problem with kernel.
3) I recently found out that if I wipe the cache from recovery, audio is back working. SO its definitely something in the cache thats messing with the audio. Some app may be.
this thread can be referred for more details on this issue:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/81373-audio-stops-working-from-time-to-time/
and I dont know what else to do now. Ive tried uninstalling all the apps that access audio. But the problem still persists.
I really really need help fixing this one. PLEASE HELP.

I've had that issue a month or two ago but haven't seen it on the latest ROMs. I'm not sure what causes it but I would suggest you flash another ROM if CM messes up with your sound (or another version of CM).

Hi, Thanks for the response. I personally like CM and the extent of customization it offers. I actually dont mind switching cuz sound is bigger deal. Would you mind suggesting ROMs that are similar or comes closer to CM and also good at the same time? which ROM are you on?

Hey it got fixed in the latest nightly ( cm-11-20140721-NIGHTLY ). I had put it in cyanogenmod forum, I guess they read the issue and fixed it. Audio is perfectly fine now! Feels so great to use cyanogenmod again.
Thank you cyanogenmod!

I have this issue too but it doesn't have to do with the audio disappearing; it's simply gone from the get-go after clean flashing a ROM.
As you've said, stock FW and ROM works fine, but anything custom will just totally break it. Seems to be a very isolated issue with the phone itself, I've searched all over for people with the same problem but could never find anything.

Oh. It used to happen to me once or twice. No audio when I install CM, after it boots the first time. I think you should check the new nightly of 7/23. Looks like its fixed. They've fixed a number of audio issues over the last few nightlies. And I've always preferred CM over any other roms, so I've no idea about why it isn't working on other roms.

Thanks for the suggestion, I may as well give it a try since most everything else I've tried has had the same issue.
edit:
Clean flashed latest CM nightly, sound worked for around 2 minutes, then stopped when I plugged headphones in. Rebooted, got it to work via speakers again but then DSP manager force closed and left me without sound.
Rebooted into recovery, cleared cache, still no dice.
Going to try another clean flash to see if I can get sound to last a while longer.
edit 2: It seems to be screwed completely now, no sound after install + reboot.
