A3 Low Volume in LOS 15.1 - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

I have had this problem on different versions of LOS. And also on my Galaxy S5 Mini with LOS. Although my S5 with 15.1 is now ok.
As far as I know this problem only occurs in recording voice in apps like Whatsapp and Telegram. On Google there are lot's of same questions but none was working for me. It's definately not a hardware problem because i just came back from stock rom and then it was ok. Developer suggested to turn off AudioFX, this didn't help. In the specific topic nobody can help me too, that's why i post here.
Any ideas? :crying:

Microphone issues with smp600 --ROM or hardware related?

Been running Temasek ROMs for a while now. Just noticed lately that the mic no longer seems to be working. Could this at all be ROM related, or is more likely a disconnected mic? Anyone else have similar issues other than the one that I did find on this forum? BTW Is Temasek still working on these for the smp 60x's? IIRC there was a blurb that he quit. Sure hope not, I always appreciate his work that he does provide. ;-Deano
Hello.
I got some issues too, using skype the mic starts to blurring to the point it is unusable, but removing and re-inserting the p2 cable fix it for a while. I can't tell if it is related to the aosp/cm roms but after getting the Official debloated 5.1.1 roms it no longer happened to me in Both p600 and p601 roms.

I had the same problem on mine and it was ROM related, not hardware. Oddly, Temseks unofficial cm 12.1 build was the only lollipop ROM that the mic DID work on. When I first noticed the problem after updating to lollipop I flashed several different ROMs and found that the mic didn't seem to work on anything but Temseks unofficial 12.1 build. I usemy mic regularly so I stuck to Temseks build (which is otherwise a great ROM too). I recently updated to Temseks cm 13 build and my mic is still working perfectly. So I suggest trying a few different ROMs before condemning the mic itself. Perhaps try a kit kat based ROM like hyperdrive just to check functionality of the mic. My mic worked with that ROM as well.

Zenfone 2 LineAge 14.1 microphone doesn't work help :(

Hey guys,
after several days of pain and frustration I got my Zenfone 2 back to life and flashed the latest LineageOS Rom 14.1 Nightly.
Everything works super fast and stable. But my microphone doesn't seem to work. I tested it with recorder and camera video. no sound.
I mean sound works perfect I can listen to music and so on. but mic doesnt work I'm really fed up now I finally got it working and mic doesn't work arghhh.
Please can anyone help me and tell me what to do?
And I can't open the Hardware Test menu from Asus with typing this secret code in stock calculator, because I don't have stock calculator installed of course..
Zenfone 2 551ML (Z00DA)
Android 7.1.2
LineageOS 14.1-20170526-NIGHTLY-Z00A
LineageOS API level: Guava (7)
There are chances that it could be the hardware fault. As i haven't heard from anybody having the microphone problem due to this ROM and infact i am also on this ROM and my device is also ZenFone 2 (ASUS_Z00AD) but i dont have this problem. Either use some 3rd party hardware test app or downgrade to Stock (but that would be a hectic task) to check where is the problem.

As I already said it's NOT a hardware fault. The microphone works perfectly in stock rom I just tested it. Only in Cyanogenmod it doesn't work so it's a software issue... I'm really dissapointed I got the same device but it doesn't work why??

Okay buddy.. Dont be sad. It will work soon if its not the hardware. I think you should post this issue in the ZenFone 2 LineageOS forum also. Some expert can solve this.

Vibration problem

Good Afternoon,
I have noticed a problem with my Zuk Z2 and I want to ask if anyone else is facing it.
Every now and then, especially when typing with keyboards, the vibration completely disappear from the phone (vibrate on touch, vibration when unlocking, ecc. ecc.) and then after some times, after locking and unlocking the screen few times, the vibration returns to work properly.
This is not due to any rom because I experienced this problem with almost all the custom roms posted on XDA, also on ZUI official builds this problem is present.
Is anybody else facing this problem?

As far as I know there is an apparent problem with gboard on all z2 plus devices. Maybe that's what is causing this problem [emoji848]

Thank you for this tip!
Do you have this problem? Which keyboard are you using?
I have tried a different keyboard but unfortunately the problem still persists
TBH I really don't have the phone. I just read it somewhere on the zukfans forum. So I suggest that you post there or wait for someone else !

I have tried to gather information about this error but apparently nobody knows anything.
I have tried multiple keyboards without success, I have tried to install the keyboards as system apps but also in this case the problem persists.
I have even tried to reinstall old and new ZUI chinese builds (1.9.063, 3.1.117 up to the latest 3.5.261) via QFIL, hoping that a deep factory reset would have solve it but every attempt was unsuccessful.
Probably this is an hardware problem and I don't know if can be fixed.
If anybody has any idea, feel free to suggest.
I have this problem too
All I can confirm that this isn't due to the rom or kernel (RR 5.8.4 + Darkmoon 4.001)
because the exact same combo never had this bug before. After a clean wipe, and subsequent restoration from TWRP backup & installation of updated GApps, this bug has infected my phone. Also, what I've noticed is that this bug only happens when we're typing, not at random (for example, when it is locked or viewing media or playing music or scrolling feed)
Also, apparently from the same time, the phone tends to heat up lot and drain it's battery much more quickly.
That's all I observed, let me know if that helped anyone
It might be a problem with any of the system level google processes on the phone as far as I can guess.

Sound crackling and distortion on the galaxy A5 (2017)

Hi. I'm kinda new to xda forums.
When I stream music via youtube, soudcloud, drive, spotify (you got it), the sound is completely ok.
When I play an mp3 however, the sound is distorted.
My AOSP rom is based of lineageos, so I tried my best deleting audiofx via debloat (magisk module) and deleting audio_effects.conf and soundeffects in /system/vendor/lib, yet the problem persists. I'm completely lost.
If anybody knows about this issue or how to fix it, help is appreciated. Thank you!
If you need a logcat, gtfo or anything, I'll be available.
is this your 1st experience with kind of aosp rom?
that's normal.. and that's why i back to stock
nothing can fix this problem. even with viper4android. but neither for stock rom.

But is has to be. I used AOSP on a s3 mini and htc one. Both didn't had this issue. Only this one had.
Try disabling google now or whatever that was, you should check the official LoS thread, also i dont reccomed using aosp roms on this phone since HWC is broken so the battery is very poor

1. About the battery, that is certainly not true. Battery life is greater than expected. If you think about an older phone, then I would agree, but here, even fast charging works (even though it constantly says slow charging, I think that's just a minor bug). In short, no need to complain.
2. What do you mean google now? I think that's dead since 2017. Are you bringing me back to 2015? Nowadays, it's just called my feed, and there is no way disabling it, heck, what is even doing with audio? If you are referring to google assistant, I used it on my previous AOSP phone and nothing happens.
3. Unfortunately there is no talk regarding about the audio in the custom rom forums.
Sorry for being rough and negative, I just want to clarify :victory:. Please don't be mad at me.
The known bugs on my experience are:
Casting
Missing libgdx.so
Sometimes advanced restart does not work
Audio crackling
Keeps telling slow charging
No internet at OTA update (when I actually have)
Some are minor, others are frustrating. Thanks for your reply.
Check google app settings and disable ok google now
Also battery life was trash when i installed the rom for myself

We've gone quiet on the audio front because we just have to accept it's not good. Changes of this nature happen on ALL devices. E.g. I had Xperia SP years ago. Amazing camera on stock... completely crap in LOS (CM at the time). Galaxy S3 mini... battery. Moto X Play...camera (absolutely important s it has a 21mp camera). They take time to get sorted. Some are done well...others not so well.
It's the high-end mid-range phones that suffer (A5 2017 and the above mentioned) the most. Cheap phones are perfect (LG Spirit 4G and the Alcatel Pixi 3 both work better with LOS based ROMs than they did on stock).

I understand that this rom is unnoficial and comes with bugs, but the problem is software-wise, which means it can be fixed, even though we need to dig deeper to the root files. Maybe we can recreate or port the samsung drivers used for audio, deleting all traces of audiofx and other minor fixes just to acomplish this. This may sound unrealistic, impossible and bluffing, but the limits are not only from the rom. Maybe we need custom kernel, or who knows.
Heck, there is little to no talk regarding this issue, so I presume some don't have this issue which could mean only a handful of devices have, because of revisions, idk.
So to sum it up, it could be fixed, but I guess no one has the time and motivation to do it.

Lineage 17.1 is there a low mic volume fix for Samsung s5 G900F?

A newbe here. I just installed Lineage 17.1 on my Samsung s5 G900F .. just one issue, whenever I send a whatsapp message to a friend they come back saying the volume is very low that they can hardly hear my message! Is there a fix for this? I made a search but so far can't find one.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Jole
Please ignore above post .. I inadvertently double posted this in a separate part of the forum and have already received a reply. My apologies.
