Using Bluetooth..

Hey all - I was experiencing my HTC crashing every since I started using Bluetooth, and I thought it was the battery (and still might be, I am waiting for a new one that I ordered).
But since I deactivated my Bluetooth I noticed that the crashing has stopped (or just hasn't crashed on me for some strange reason).
Has anyone had issues using bluetooth over a long period of time that causes the device to crash?

Still makes sense the battery as BT draws more power when on...
Have you tryed reflash to make sure it's not just a software issue?

I haven't tried to reflash to be honest - what is the newest ROM out there that is stable?

Fm radio does not work at all , only static

My problem is , that my FM Radio doesn't work....I GET ONLY STATIC i discovered that after few months, cause i never used, and without beingn a big issue is like a splinter in my mind, that is somethig on my phone that doesn't work
i've tried reverting phone to stock, 1.32, 1.72....almost every custom rom, Lee, Miui , Cyanogen..etc, changed RADIOS and headsets...but nothing seemed to work
well the next step is to revert-it to stock and send it to waranty...but from various reasons i'm very reluctant in doing that
so is there anyone who encountered the same problem ????

Do you have head phones plugged in? Sometimes they are used for antennas

I've just remembered I've got some headphones in the drawer here at work, so I thought I'd give it a test for you - worked straight away mate!
First time I've even tried the radio, had to search for the app to turn it on Running ARHD 5.1.3 (until 5.1.4 gets released hopefully soon!)

thats exact how it hapends...i didnt evere tried ...but when i tried ups...ands its do no,, some how, annoyin, to know that i have a BUG

I'm sorry I can't remember the specifics of it, but I had this problem. It turned out it was a quirky fix. I think I had to plug in the headset, start the radio, then click menu > speaker, then menu > headset & it worked. I only had to do that the first time I used the radio in a particular ROM. That sequence has been talked about in another thread here. That's where I found it originally.

Hi,
Yes I have the same issue mate,
just got the new HD (on net) and didn't test the radio prior to rooting and applying custom rom (coredroid).
did note the wireless was hopeless on the original rom prior to upgrade.
I opened Fm radio and scanned (as i have on my 3 other htcs in the family) and no channels are being picked up, changing locations, headsets etc no difference.
I have reflashed different radios, no diff
reflashed stock 2.2 flashed several radios and kernals, no diff
restored my custom image with recommended radio versions, no diff.
I have given up, it looks like its possibly a warranty issue, but i am reluctant to go through the BS just for the radio
Any fixes?
Col

any developers thoughts on this?

how mines worked...use headphone as an antenna
Static reduction methods
did you try to use the headphone as an antenna? Raise the headphone higher make it act like an antenna, and put device/phone on speaker.
edit: and sometimes leave fm radio on and minimize it/push home button
It reduces the static for me.

Frozen Desire

Hi Friends,
I am currently using Sebastian's Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.1_Special_Edition ROM on my HTC Desire.
Sometimes without any reason suddenly my phone does not respond.
When i click on power button, it will not respond, it gets completely frozen.
The only solution is to remove the battery and restart it again.
This is happening since quite sometime and very annoying I wont even realize it got frozen until i check it manually.
Any one faced this problem?
Any ideas how to fix this?
Pls help

Desire acting strange
hi
I'm having the same problems with the same rom. somtimes it works fine for days then it have a fit maby 3 ore 4 times on the same day.
if anyone have any help to offer i would be very greatfull.

I haven't used AIO but I've been here long enough to know that most users of that ROM have that issue and I don't think there is any other workaround than to use another rom.

Your hboot version? ROM version? Which data script have you installed? There might be a problem with that.

Blank Unresponsive Screen after Bluetooth
Hi
I'm using CM7.1.0-Desire and the latest Radio 5.17.05.23
I've found if I use the phone as a Bluetooth music player via my car's Stereo, the phone just goes blank after a time.
The music still plays through the car stereo though, (for at least a song) - I don't know how the streaming works, if the whole song is copied in advance or what.
I have to take the battery out to get the phone to respond to any button presses.
I had this problem on the older Radio 5.11.05.27, so upgraded and still have the issue.
Are there some logs I can look for?

It looks a lot like this. No solution has been found yet, but for me installing another sense 3.5 ROM (RSK Team (now known as Runny Rom)) has helped.

[Q] Audio cutting in and out on my unit how to fix.

Yesterday the audio just stopped working on my unit. It is almost like it is muted or something. I checked it and it seems like everything is ok. Then this morning I was driving and it suddenly came back on. Audio will not cut out when the car is running, but only when I turn the car off for whatever reason(refuel, garage, etc) and then the audio will eventually come back.
I tried flashing the latest malaySK rom and MCU and that did not help. Is this a hardware issue or something? It's behaving like it is muted and when it suddenly comes back it's as if I hit the unmute button or something. Any ideas would be appreciated, I'm about to drive cross country with this.

I've seen the same on one of my four units. My interim solution has been to turn power off i.e turn engine off for 35 seconds.
After that the sound comes back. I suspect it has something to do with the delay of 30 seconds implemented in the FW.
If you look in Malaysk's thread he claims its an error in the recent fw.

Any idea as to the last version of the ROM that didn't have this issue?

I don't know. This has been an ongoing case for some time. As I wrote above I think it has to do with the
software delays implemented some time ago. I've turned off Headunitservice and also removed the option
in Xposed concerning MCU. It looks like that solved the problem. Knock on wood

I see. What is this delay issue involving? I really only use the headunit service to change songs in Poweramp I think. The other features are nice but kind of superfluous for my installation.

The MCU thing is to keep the HU running while you start the engine. That's the SW mod. There's also a hardware mod
implementing a capacitor and a diode doing the same thing. I can wait for the cold boot and have sound, rather than
the other way around.

I understand. How do you disable it? Wouldn't a reboot of the unit fix this issue? I was thinking of just going into xposed and forcing a reboot from in there.

Thanks. What else does this affect?

AFAIK, only the above.

I've tried downgrading, changing the MCU, etc. No suck luck. The audio seems to just kick on or off.

Volume wheel stops working

My volume wheel only works for the first 15 minutes or so then and then it stops working until I reboot the unit.
Any idea ? Software or hardware fix ?

A few have the same issues. Myself included. For me it was software related. Out of interest what navigation do you use.

I agree, since a software reboot fixes it I'm guessing it a software. Did you find a fix ?
I'm using Waze

Waze was my culprit. Try an alternative as an experiment.
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Unfortunately, Waze is the reason why I bought the head unit. Although I'll try to see if that's the problem and if so ask Waze if they can fix it
Thanks

Some others have went back to an older version of Waze. The last one before the change in material design.
Some others with same problem have discounted Waze so it's a bit of a lottery.

Just noticed I have the same problem as well (volume knob stops working after a few minutes, reboot fixes it for a bit, repeat). I don't know when it started as I've always just used the steering wheel controls for volume.
Kicker is that I don't use Waze nor have it installed.
Using latest (Apr 23 2016 RK3066 800x400, latest JY MCU) Malaysk ROM, basic JY headunit.
@gk66 - since you last wrote your post, have you had the problem occur again despite using the older version of Waze?

I don't use an older version. Ditched Waze completely. Use Google maps. Problem hasn't resurfaced yet.

Ah, I should learn to read. Thanks for the info though!

I haven't done extensive testing but Waze seems to be the culprit in my case too.
Muting waze also works. I've set it to "alert only" and it's much better but still stops from time to time.
When Waze talks it lower or mute media volume, my guess is that Waze does it wrong or uses an old API, I've had problem even on my phone where media volume would stay low or stop altogether.
I'll make a bug report and hopefully they can fix it

Thanks for that. Glad you've found the culprit.

Waze is not the only cause, also this happens with pc radio with the latest malaysk firmware for rk3188

Nobody said it was the only culprit. Why not start a thread to identify all the culprits

I'm having the same issue. Radio works fine until I launch waze, within ten minutes the knobs don't work anymore.
Since everybody is having sporadic issues, I'm actually testing out if the audio mixing you can set in Settings->GPS has anything to do with it. I always had it set to mixing, and I now put it to switch. Tomorrow I'll know more after a round trip to work.

No waze here, yet I have the same issue. Happens out of the blue, even when just running the original radio apk and no navigation at all. The SWC keeps working. Functionality returns after a reboot or a jump to the hardware settings. As the SWC always functions I don't mind TOO much but it a bit sloppy.

Tried changing the GPS settings today. Whatever I did, nothing helped, not even putting a random app that doesn't produce sound as my navigation app.
Which MCU do you all have? Mine is JY/Joyous...

Waze is not the culprit, it just happens more often when using it. Bluetooth calls (interrupting your current audio) often break it. Other apps switching audio break it too.
It is most likely some bug in the firmware related to switching the audio input.
There is no solution found yet.

KLD2, RK3188 SD. Came with KLD2 v2.77 firmware, now running v2.81. Both have the issue. I haven't tried flashing older firmware

I tried using tomtom as my main GPS application, same issue, so it's definitely not Waze specific. Friday I'll drive without using any GPS app and see if it still fails.
Next time as soon as I notice it failed, I'll check system log for any errors or exceptions, perhaps something stands out.
I do know that the turning of the knobs is logged in the log even after they failed and don't change volume. One of the xposed modules that shows the buttons pressed and such does not recognize turning of the knobs after they have failed...

Hmmm. The system log still gets the volume knobs turning but not the app? That could mean the firmware is ok and the bug is somewhere in the Android audio?

Yeah that's why I started playing around the GPS settings...
Any idea which app/service is responsible for handling the volume knobs?
