(Fix) Audio loss soon

by request ill make an update.zip for audio loss for eris users.
im leaving for nashville tonight so i wont be doing any work this weekend.
so i need responses on this thread on what roms DO NOT cause audio loss.
please discuss and come to an agreement on the best rom for me to pull the kernel.
mods please do not move this as i will be updating soon with fix.

What is the fix for? I know on my phone sometimes I can't hear anything when making a call.
I run my own Rom and kernel on my phone so can you just supply the fixed files or tell what they are and I will pull from the zip

what audio loss?, I've tried every rom and havn't had this problem yet.. are you talking about the dreaded audio bug? I am famililar with that as im on a refurb now from that. pre root tho.

If you mean that ringtones go silent with no warning then ZenEXP-Eris Espresso ~Rev7~ does have the issue, EE 3.0 does not so far.

I had that problem big time with Ivan's Official but with JCase's Plain Jane I havent had the problem at all.

I have that issue with the cyanogen roms and ic3rom. But as far as I've noticed the zenEXP and damageR roms do not have this issue. At least for me anyway.
I'd really like to run cyanogenELB, but the loss of audio is a deal breaker.

I'm experiencing audio loss, as far as loss of ringtone, on EE 3.0 for the last 2 days. Totally silent for every call coming in. I have rebooted, gone to a backup, not sure whats going on.

When i have had the issue before, going into to settings and resetting the rigntone worked. It would be set on default ringtone, not what I had assigned. I put it back to what i wanted and it would ring again. same thing with notifications

Can't Wait
I am using Ivans official and have had this problem a couple of times. When I place a call I hear nothing. The call goes thru on the other end but on mine its like the speaker just refuses to work. I have been wiping dalvik to temp fix the problem. Very annoying. Can't wait for the fix. Thanks in advance.

Using the rooted version of leak3 and also have the same problem with loss of audio. Reboot only way to resolve it.

Having the audio loss (go to make a call every once in a while and the phone is silent and I have to reboot) on Evil Eris 2.0.1. Also, the alarm sometimes does not go off.

I know you say DO NOT CAUSE AUDIO LOSS, but it seems like a lot of people are letting you know about their audio loss.
Sorry, but I figure I will add to this since others are speaking about Evil Eris.
For me, I get the silent bug (meaning all audio stops working: email notification, text, volume, music, ringtone selector, alarm tone--<when SB happens and I am trying to select a ringtone or alarm tone I get a FC for HTC sound something another>>--)
I have had this with EE 2.0, 2.0.1, and 3.0. My wife however is still on 2.0.1 and has never had the silent bug issue.
Also, for me, I do not get the shutter sound in camera, meaning when you take a picture it makes that camera sound noise. This happens without the silent bug, just don't get sound.
On AF http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/99973-found-what-causes-silence-lag.html this may or may not help you.
This seems to happen to me about every 24-26 hours.
And most importantly, THANK YOU for looking into this and trying to fix it!!!!!!!
edit: I wanted to clear up, I love Evil Eris! I mean no disrespect to this fantastic ROM or to Frame!!!

I'm have the same problem using Ivans official. Not sure but i think the problem starts when I'm using data and then receive a call. When I answer I hear nothing and when I try to call back I hear nothing. I just reboot to fix.

Just wanted to give an update.
I flashed Sushi last night http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701544 and am still having the silent bug making me a strong believer that I have a hardware issue.
Somewhere I read someone is thinking it has to do with the proxy sensor. Today I had silence twice, that's 2 times in just a few hours, this has never happened before. Also, each time today happened within an hour of using the camera (and I still have no shutter sound with this ROM).
I failed to mention last night that I am on an old Radio 2.40.00.01.22
I am sorry if I sound like a post whore but I just want to give accurate observations.

Camera
Seems that every time I use the camera or open the camera to browse pics it seems to somehow trigger this problem. The only time I've ever had this problem was after using the camera.

Yes, I am now thinking it has something to do with the camera. I just got the silent bug again, 3rd time today, this was after I used the camera this evening to test and see if the silent bug would happen. This time it took 90 minutes when before it seemed to happen within an hour.

I had identified the bug a while back, but no one took any interest.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668693
I'm glad to see that more people are becoming aware of it. Hope someone finds a fix soon. The only ROM that I'm aware of that isn't having this issue is the original 1.5.

just asking
im not sure what this trouble everyone is having but im not having any problems besides mms needing the fix but other wize no other issues sound included

Well I assure you this issue is very real and very annoying. I wish I were lucky enough to not have to deal with it, but thats not the case. Can't wait till I don't have to deal with it anymore.

im not sayin it aint happening just didnt know it was a wide spread thing thats all

no vibrate with JL1

So I flashed the new JL1 firmware last night to try it out and thus far its been a pretty solid firmware. The only problems I have found so far is that the vibration function does not work at all. and the market is missing apps like Paypal and a few others that I usually use. you can set it to always vibrate and leave haptic feedback on but when you go to adjust the vibration nothing happens as far as the phone vibrating. I just missed 2 calls and a text message because the phone didnt vibrate. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem and while the ideas are flowing, how to root JL1. I miss having root so I can run my usual programs.

the vibration is confirmed as not working in JL1, no workaround it is a bug in a leaked firmware, not official. Go back to what you were running previously.

I know nothing about the vibration issue / how to fix it. Nothing in JL1 worth staying on it now, nandroid to what you were on before.
However, the Market issue is fairly common per these leaked official TMO roms. The fingerprint has changed so the market doesn't yet recognize it. Often downloading a few things, paid / purchased and then rebooting a few times makes them return. However, if it doesn't not you can optionally change the fingerprint back to one that worked and repeat the above.
I imagine your tried using RyanZA's root app and that failed. Have you also tried SuperOneClick yet?

dont know about receiving calls and sms. but when i adjust vibration, everything works fine.

I ended up going back to jk6 because i need the vibration function o work. as far as the market fix, i tried the whole download a few of my purchased and regular apps and rebooting a few times but that still did not fix anything. Call wise and reception wise, JL1 was far better for me in my apartment, but the other problems made it too much of a PITA. I guess I'l be rockin jk6 until someone can fix JL1 or until the nexus s comes out. either way, im ok with it.

I doubt the vibration issue would be too difficult to fix, it's just that no one cares enough to do it I think lol. Really, JL1 seems so similar to JK6, I'd say just run the JL1 modem on JK6 (or just run JK6 if you think the modem is a placebo) and call it a day.

didnt have to fix anything. it was working from the beginning. just tested all vibrations and it works in sms, email, and in settings, probably in calls too then.

Answered calls going straight to speakerphone!

My phone has been doing this for 2 or 3 days now. When I accept an incoming call, the phone automatically enters speakerphone mode.
When a BT headset is connected, it is fine.
Anyone got a clue why it is doing this? I havenet installed any apps which should have this effect.
RTR

Been looking into this all night, with no luck. Has anyone seen this before?

Not had any calls come in on mine yet so can't comment on whether I am affected. I would have thought it would be well known about though if it was widespread.
Are you using stock rom? Tried re-flashing the RUU?

Had this to you need to make someone call you and keep trying with the button to switch between speaker or ear and eventually i got it right! Hold it against your ear then remove it and try button again thats how i did it!

Same here with that issue ever since those new updates started
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Mine too but it hardly ever does it now. A sensor tries to detect how your phone is positioned and switches to speaker. It seems to go away on the stock rom, so persevere on the stock rom. It all worked out for me eventually. Word of advice though, DISABLE SENSE until it's ready. It makes your contact icons in messages disappear. Htc always releases questionable software which should be described as beta. If you use bluetooth for music, stick with stock for now. Yadda yadda. All in all, the dhd. Rules. Oh ya, anyone know how the htc hd2 rund witb android 2.2. I saw lots of great deals on ebay to buy a broken one and fix tbe software to run android. I just want a new toy really.

I had this for a while - turned out to be an iffy setting in my profile manager/switcher (phoneweaver). Are you using anything like that?

FIXED: Oh my word, how simple was this...
Should have said, I'm on stock everything as I have a poor track record with having to send stuff back to manufacturers to be fixed.
After spending all night looking for a solution, and trying a couple of things found on other forums (install phonespeaker app and turn it off in that - doesn't work BTW), I decided this morning to remove the possibility that the phone had simply got its panties in a bunch, switched it off properly and removed the battery. 10 minutes of being denied a power source has cured it. Most bizarre.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.

[BUG] Other person can't her me mid-call, mic gets muted

Hi,
in the last days with my S3 on every call I had which went for more than 1 minute the other person suddenly couldn't hear me anymore. Sometimes it happened after a minute, sometimes after 3 minutes, but in the last 4 calls it happened every time!
Reception came back after some seconds and from then on it was really bad, the other person had hard problems understanding me.
I searched around and found this thread of GNex owners having the same problem:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus/472451-vzw-other-person-cant-hear-me.html
Then I found it in the Issues DB too
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24019
Do you guys know more? it is really bad, since this is my business phone so nearly every call is an important one and it really bugs me out.
Anyone having same problems?
I hope someone can help me out.

Yes I have the exact problem. It's driving me nuts and I've tried different roms and kernels.

Have you tried to DISable the noise canceling feature?

No but I will try it and report back.
By the way I'm on stock LF6 4.0.4 in Germany (with o2 as my carrier. Unbranded. )
Is the noise canceletion buggy?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

I've read that some kernels cause issues like this.
Also, in UK, in Birmingham on Orange, I have been having issues like this, and it usually occurs when the Signal Switches over from Orange to T-Mobile, mid call, and once onto T-Mobile signal, the call breaks up or goes quiet.
Maybe an issue switching from 2G to 3G or back mid call also?

Will try also. The only reason I haven't got rid of this phone is it mostly happens on o2 calls, I am on giffgaff which is run by o2, The op is o2! Hmmm
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

just yesterday I again had the issue....and my noice cancelling was off...so this is not causing it....
I'm bumping this in hope someone has a cure.
The new rom LFB is not yet published for Germany but for UK. Perhaps it makes a difference? Can somebody in UK with LFB who previously had the issue please check?

Same problem, no solution
I'm facing the same issue. Tried searching for any possible explanations, but haven't found anything conclusive.
I've tried disabling and enabling noise cancellation and all combinations of the in-call options.
There are 2 or 3 main theories which I've encountered:
1. The microphone goes to sleep when the phone display does. As soon as someone seems to not able to hear me, I move the phone away and the screen wakes up. This seems to sort it out temporarily.
2. Someone had posted on FixYa indicating that they tried putting a small piece of cotton after removing the back panel just behind where the mic is. Haven't tried this!
3. Everyone else seems to think that a factory reset would set it right. I haven't tried this as I need to find a bit of time to do this.
Also, I'm wondering if flashing to CM9's RC1 or 2 will sort out the issue. I'm thinking that it has to be a software glitch. In fact, someone reported that they solved it this way (can't remember where).

Which ROM are you using right now?

Ihad the same issue on CM9 and got rid of it by flashing another radio. I originally had the xxlef, tried the xxlfb and ended up with the xxlf5 which works fine so far.

Try this for a fix
goto settings
sound
Toggle on then off or off then on the screen lock sounds then try again :good:

Hey,
just so you know. I am on CM9 and I have kind of the same issue. Sometimes audio is unidirectional, both ways actually, unable to recreate it so far. What always seems to work is my bluetooth headset. Switiching between the two of them makes me lose audio entirely. I have tried many things, even rebooting the phone Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. I'm guessing it has something to do with BT.
I am NOT facing the issue with losing audio in the middle of the call when the display goes to sleep. The display goes to sleep because of the ligth sensor, btw. - not because the system is idling The display is not needed once the phone realizes it's attached to your ear (lights off).
It's driving me nuts
BUT: CM9 is amazing so far. It's fast, it's open, everything works just fine. Except for the phone as a phone of course

Does CM9 come with an integrated modem switcher? I don't like messing around with "packages" too much. The more you mod everything, the less stuff has got to do with each other and it is more likely to run into trouble, because as a developer you can't really consider every side effect
So if this is actually about the modem (which I doubt, because the connection is just fine, it's just the audio output and input that is kind of broken) - what modem would I use with CM9? Can I just flash a random one over the current one?
Appreciate the advice.
Andreas

I notice that as soon as I take the phone away from my ear and the screen lights up I can again be heard... Wonder if there's a problem with the light off sensor affecting the mics too... It ALWAYS goes away when I remove the phone from my ear and the light sensor allows the backlight to come on again...
Might be a crazy thought but the evidence does seem to support this. I haven't turned off the light sensor in settings yet, if I even can, but was going to try next call...

I updated to BLG8 and I will see tomorrow if it happens again. Today I already had one call which lasted 11 minutes without interruptions. I will report as soon as I got more calls to test.

I had the same prob...
I just reflashed the official firmware frm the service centre.

They released the 2nd nightly a few hours ago and the calling and texting is still broken for me, but the network still works. Hmm... If I download albinoman's Alpha release, everything works just fine, but official nightlies are broken for me. Strange.

Downloading now, I'll post my results after flash.

Texting and calling is working, but looks like Bluetooth is broken. It works after a reboot, but is very choppy.

Definitely not working. 2 fresh installs. Phone will ring with a different tone than normal but there is no option to answer it. When the other end hangs up, the phone keeps ringing until you reboot it.
Appears inbound texting works but the send button in the stock mms app can not be pressed. Did not bother with testing 3rd party apps.
Have not seen any commits in the changelog which may fix this, so yeah I'd definitely hold off for another day or two before heading to nightlies.

This is the exact problem that I have. I can type text, but I can't press the send button. The phone acts weird and won't actually hang up when I press the hangup button. So some people have the issue and others don't. At least it's not just me.

Here is a new issue. I tried to connect to my Bluetooth car stereo and it errored out, but my phone started making a ringing noise. No matter what I did, or which service I stopped, it kept ringing. Reboot did not fix the issue, but a power down and power back up worked. Also, regarding the SMS issue. Same issue with the stock app, but I use Textra and it works perfectly.

I've heard that updating the recovery might fix some rom issues, so I updated to the newest TWRP. And the same problem persists. So it's not the recovery, unfortunately. I'm back to using KT TWRP 2.8.0

I had the same problem with messaging. I had to download Google messenger to send texts. Calling was not working for me. I could see when my brother was calling via LTE would turn off, after he hung up it switched back to LTE. I also noticed that it wasn't recognizing the sim card in the phone. Would this cause the problem possibly? I'll post pictures.
Picture one shows that sim card isn't being recognized.
Picture two shows the LTE is switched to off when he calls.
Picture three shows that I do have LTE. (even tho it is crap signal atm I took screen shot)
Forgot to add flashed using TWRP 2.8.3 (whatever latest version is)

That's very interesting. Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this. I'll just wait until the next nightly.

Don't know about the phone and messaging but for root you might have to enable it in developer options. I had to do that then it was fine but I'm on a different build.

After a few mins, my external SD card disappears.
I've tried the official CM12 kltespr builds from 9, 10 & 11th.
Not even a root file explorer can see it. Have to reboot to fix,
Anyone else get this?

Hello , I have these problems I can not take pictures with flash activad ,

I am on the latest build and using Textra and Hangouts Dialer, SMS/MMS and phone calls work perfectly. GPS works well, but I have not yet attempted Bluetooth. Calls with the stock dialer work, but the phone call does not hang up.

Just verified Bluetooth is still broken.

I've actually never heard of this. This is new. The only things I can guess about it are it being bad install, of the cache/dalvik cache wasn't cleared. I might try wiping everything (even system; it's in advanced wipe in TWRP) and reflashing it.
