Hi there
I know there are a lot of great roms available now thanks to all the developers here.
I am still using the upgraded UK_orange 6.5 relased on tosh website..
I can hear the callers but they can not hear me properly on the other side, my voice breaking and crackling.
The only thing that would make me port one of these custom roms available here is if the sound quality is fixed.
Which one are you using now with no sound problems at all?
Thanks
Are you using the newer 6.5 update which came out on March rather than the earlier 6.5 update which came out in October? I found my sound problems were mostly fixed by the March update, although I did find I had to do a hard reset after the upgrade before I really noticed the improvement.
The reason I ask is that for some strange reason Toshiba never updated their website when their second update came out and it misinforms people saying they should not update if they already have WM 6.5. Some people heard about the update, went to the website and naturally assumed they already had the latest update because of what it said, and are needlessly living with terrible call quality as a result.
I'm guessing you probably have already checked but I thought I'd mention it.
I've recently tried ffboy's sense beta2 sense Rom with the radio version 5005.1600.05 and I had bad call quality with that, but others say that radio has been perfect for them. If you look further down you'll see that this has already been discussed and the conclusion was that there is no easy answer to this question at the moment. The only way is to try each Rom for yourself. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully though.
thanks.
I have the latest official MARCH version but it did not solve the problem.
I also have been following all the feedback by all the tester on all devs "Nosker,November5,Aragon85 and ffboy2009" roms but I could get a clear picture of which one is with the issue fixed..
hence I am looking forward to Android on this device and let see how it goes..
Any rom with 5005.1700.05 or 5005.1600.05 radio has no sound quality issues.
Hello,
right Joous, seems to be some phones out you can install what ever you want, quality is pur. In modaco or ppc found some threads say telling its hardware7 lot dependend.
@ computerbar, you should test a custome rom, normally they are without issues. if you still have give your mobil back or change it during warranty.
regards

Are you sure? It wasn't true for me. I had a bad experience with 5005.1600.05 (as I already said). Some others said its perfect for them, but others have said it gave them poor call quality. I don't know if it depends on the country, but it might. I'm in the UK in a 2g area.
I haven't tried 5005.1700.05 yet, but I'm trying it tomorrow.
Guys Post your Questions here for xylo for his Jellybean rom
btw thankyou so much Xylo for bringing us such a GREAT ROM
my question to Xylo,
my BT headset (Philips sbh9000) doesnt working at all although it connects with my phone but the audio is still playing at my phones speaker.. sad part how could i fix this one ? thanks
I think there's no need for an extra question-thread. Just ask directly in the rom-thread and see if there're other ppl with the same problem. Maybe Xylo will have a look over it then if he has some spare time.
(BTT: Ever used another music player?)
Well, XDA rules are not to post questions unless you reach a 10 post threshold, so there's not much he can do.
PA JB alpha 2 says that video playback works partially but it does not work at all for me.
yeah i was able to ask xylo for this matter :victory:
To OP (re:BT): I maintain hd2s for myself and an associate and swear by xylograph's great builds since tosti 1.
Although I haven't pushed the jb version on the units yet and have kept 1.5b ics, I thought it may be useful to recommend a great app I found to play music (and all media) through my bt headset called btmono.* After I did much reading and demoed a dozen or so apps, it solved the same issue you describe on our ics builds of pa. Hope it helps, keep fighting.

Has Samsung announced publicly that they will upgrade Note 3 to 5.1.1 or that they will NOT do it?
Or is it all still up in the air and we have to guess what they'll do with the rest of the official Note firmware updates?
I'm aware of AOSP/CM 5.1.1 builds for Note 3, but I'm interested in the 5.1.1 Samsung official Touchwiz ROM future.
Anybody found any info / roadmap on this?
No word yet. It's been confirmed for the Note 4, Note Edge and S5, but nothing yet on the Note 3 and S4.
Samsung knows the 5.0 firmware for the Note 3 is severely broken, so they might choose to update the Note 3 to 5.1, but they might also stick to Google's 18 months/2 major updates contract and drop support for the device.
Given that they don't seem to give a **** about Note users anymore, the latter seems the most likely. They want to force us all onto the S6 Edge +.
LOL! How is 5.0 "severely broken" for Note 3?
Anyway, to OP, no, Samsung hasn't officially announced anything yet, but I believe 5.1 will come for our phones, probably in couple of months time.

Aside from the memory leaks, errors, bluetooth connectivity issues, wifi issues and battery drains?
Oh no, it's absolutely perfect. Everyone is just lying about it, that's all.
I mean, we totally don't get about 8 people a day asking us to revert their devices back to 4.4, we're just making those figures up. That's what providers and tech support people do, right?
Or did anyone really think the several months delay for the larger versions (BTU, DBT, XEF) were because Samsung forgot? No, it's because 5.0 had a lot of bugs Google left in that Samsung couldn't get fixed.
(Okay, okay, I'll stop. I should probably just go to sleep, my sarcasm seems to be overloading. :laugh: I've been up for 72 hours straight, I think my brain has simply dropped all functions besides its basic survival instinct, which in my case appears to be comprised almost entirely of sarcasm. No offense meant, I am merely quite severely sleep deprived :laugh: :angel: (Also, I just noticed, on Tapatalk that emoticon is just hilarious. It's pink! Hihihihiihihihihi... :laugh: )
5.0 is the Vista of the Android world. Hopefully 5.1 will be better, though I doubt it.

Android 5.0 for the NOTE 3 is rubbish. Since the update i have multiple lag problems with my note 3 but the most severe is the bluetooth connectivity problems. I can`t use my smartwatches (Moto 360 and Pebble Time) anymore. They drop connection all day long, unable to reconnect, android wear saying connecting .... or displays that my Moto 360 is connected but it is not !
Android 5.0 made my life hell. My phone still thinks that is connected to my car stereo when is not, in a prone call i have to manually disable bluetooth when i leave my car so i can speak.
On Android 4.4.4 bluetooth was working perfectly. Now i`m searching a way to downgrade to Android 4.4.4 ...

Are you sure you are using 5.0 for Samsung on your Note 3, or probably on something else? :laugh:
Anyway, jokes aside, really?
Memory leaks? What's that? I am dumb. Please enlighten me.
Errors? What errors?
Bluetooth connectivity? I use BT for around 6-8 hours a day, and not once my BT got disconnected!
WiFi issues? I download 3-4 GB from my phone, EVERY DAY. WiFi doesn't disconnect, not once. I however manually power off my router once every 3 or 4 days so that my ISP doesn't start to monitor my otherwise high usage at a stretch.
Battery drains? As I have said a hundred times before, battery life is much better in LP than it was on KK!
Are you sure you are not trolling?
is not just not working. I have never rooted my phone, only installed OTA updates. Android 5.0 is the worst. Tried everything, including wipe data/full reset, wipe cache, format SD card, the same bluetooth issues. Can`t use my Pebble Time .....
While it's not as bad as ShadowLea described, I do get occasional battery drains, a dreaded Camera and Gallery lag and heating up/throttling while playing intensive games (Such problems were not present in Kitkat). While the Lollipop update brought some interesting features and new much needed visual improvements the phone for me performs worse than Kitkat (but it's not that bad). Now will I downgrade? Of course not (add the fact that I don't know how xD). Let's hope that we get the 5.1.1 update or even Marshmallow (Though knowing Samsung that's a bit far fetched =P)
Just downgraded my Note 3 to Android 4.4.2 this morning. So far my Pebble Time works like a dream, no more dropped connection, no more unable cu connect, all bluetooth issues are gone.
Because i never rooted my Note 3 and downgraded to stock firmware, the downgrade process was pretty simple using ODIN.
Let's not make this "is 5.0.x" good/bad - thread. Some are having issues. Some are not. Some would like to have 5.1.1 with stagefright and other patches, regardless.
The question is: will Samsung deliver 5.1.1 (or later) for Note 3 or or will they not honour their "2 years of updates" or not. If they will. I think I'm done with Samsung for a while (esp. with Note 5 being what it is).
Yeah, Samsung made a special 5.0 ROM for me only, which doesn't give anywhere near as problems as mentioned above!
Some people just like bashing TouchWiz, however I thought those were kidzzzz only, but until now. Then they switch to some other third class OEM, get tired and come back to Samsung, and then they keep their mouth shut. That's how it generally goes.
There's no need to be so arrogant. If you're satisfied with how your phone works, doesn't mean that software works flawlessly, especially on other devices that you couldn't see. There may be some failed upgrades, software conflicts, or rare race conditions that prevent some users from enjoying their Note 3 devices.
Fortunately my experience with 5.0 on Note 3 is much better than with 5.0 on Nexus 10.
Still I couldn't see any mention of >5.0 upgrade for Note 3, which is a bit sad, especially when there are exploits out there, and it'll soon be 2 years old.
I found this post claiming 5.1.1 is coming to Note 3 according to Samsung UK. However, I'd take it with a grain of salt, as August is almost gone, still no 5.1.1 not even news about release and often the local offices in Europe do not know the final details about what the Korean giant had decided.
Galaxy Note 3 receives the Android 5.1.1 update soon

I do not troll. I have never understood what the point of trolling is. What do people find so appealing about it?
I'm simply speaking from the experience of getting far, far too many reports of problems with 5.0. That, and the fact that Samsung themselves have, repeatedly, admitted that 5.0 is extremely flawed. If the lads at Samsung's dev department tell you 5.0 is broken, it's broken.
Have I updated? Hell no. Absolutely bloody not. 5.0 has white menus, that's a no-go for me. Besides, NB7 works perfectly for me (7+ hours screen-on time!). I'm a great fan of the "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" principle.
Memory leaks are when apps use more memory than they should. So when an app that normaly uses only 50MB RAM is suddenly using 900MB RAM, when there's nothing it actually needs it for.
Wait, your ISP has a problem with 4GB a day? That's... wow. I average about 700GB a month on my laptop alone.
Not every Bluetooth connection has problems. Older Bluetooth protocols have problems, some newer ones work fine. (This is a problem from Google, not Touchwiz. Unless Nexus devices run TW these days )

Unfortunatelly, the experience of one does not equal the experience of all. If you don't have issues doesn't mean nobody else does. (Although I am very glad for you that yours works flawlessly! )
I do not bash TW. Hello, I'm on pure 100% stock. That'd be a bit hypocritical. TW works fine, it's Android 5.0 itself that is broken.
It doesn't just affect Samsung, 5.0 is malfunctioning on all devices.

LOL! All the articles are more than three four months old! Maybe there was some memory management issues on early LP releases, but that doesn't count. I don't see much problem (if any at all!) with apps closing/ restarting upon going back into them. I use a six year old Sony GV435 BT headset, LOL!
And as I said, Samsung didn't make a special ROM for me, nor I am the person who just runs a dull device without any kind of modifications! I talk half an hour a day, more mostly, with BT connected, I keep at least a dozen apps open in background, the phone is running for 18 straight days now! So as long as Samsung didn't make a special ROM me those mentioned problems/ bugs are terribly exaggerated. 50 MB app is taking 900 MB in LP. Nah, I sure don't know what trolling is, my DNA lacks that, but I am getting a sense of what trolling is, because when you are around trolls, some effects will be unknowingly pushed into oneself.

I do like Android 5.0 and i like to keep my devices up to date, but in an working condition :good:

Yeah, then you report those problems in Google's community, not here. If there any problems with Lollipop then it is Google's problem, not Samsung's.
Google fixed problems in 5.1.1 this is why we wait news from Samsung. If lollipop is latest update for note 3, they should fix all the bugs.
new micro updates are coming this month to fix the problems, this was samsung replay
Hi All,
When I was on Moto G4 plus, I just loved the loud and clear in-call volume. Once I upgraded to Moto g5 plus, was totally dissappointed with the volume during call. The other party with whom I am speaking to, is very faint to hear. I am rooted, on the stock debloated ROM, and have tried the below options
Tried increasing the volume in the Ex Kernel manager
Tried modifying the mixer-paths.xml under the [handset] section
Both the above options have no results. Can anybody please provide a definite fix for this issue which is the biggest gripe in this awesome phone?

Currently there is no definitive fix for the issue. Lots of complaints in the Lenovo/Moto support forum but it doesn't appear if Lenovo has responded with any sort of a fix. The speculation is the volume setting in the firmware is wrong/too low. Perhaps rooting the phone and going with a custom ROM would fix the issue.
One suggested workaround (see following link) was to put the phone into speaker mode and turn down the volume.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/help/boost-call-volume-root-t3620251
Its a shame, good phone, but hampered/hamstrung by the low volume issue and the garbled call quality on Verizon when VoLTE is enabled on the phone. Lenovo is mostly mute on these two issues.
I bought 2 Moto g plus phones. One for me, one for my girl..... we can't hear each other, at all unless we're both in a quiet place @the same time ,which is usually never. I've visited Moto supporting website and there is no support for this issue at all! 29 pages deep of complaints and a rep won't even say "we're aware of the issue" ,or "we'll be working on it", OR ANYTHING AT ALL!

I have roughly 24 hours to decide if I want to return this phone. I realize it's still a bit early, but I haven't seen much in the way of custom Rom development aside from an unofficial lineage build (which I have not tried because of the twrp issues) I bought this in hopes it would attract developers and become much like what the nexus phones used to be. I was specifically told by an essential representative that this phone was "yours to root and customize". That's all fine and dandy if I was a developer, but unfortunately that isn't the case. It also lacks software features, which I expected, but figured custom roms would solve that. I love the build quality, I'm ok with the camera quality, and the price was definitely acceptable. Today I experienced missed calls that never got through to me. Not sure if that's a Verizon issue or what. So I guess I'm looking for some quick input from you guys. Do you think development will take off? I'm not counting on essential for that. And also, has anyone experienced calls or texts not coming through? Aaaaaaand GO! ?

It is, there is RR, Uber, LOS, XenonHD all in testing phases
That is exactly what I was hoping to hear. Thanks for the quick reply
never had issues with missed calls or texts (ATT here). If you purchased this recently at the discounted price (400-500), then I don't think you'll find something this aesthetically nice and with these features. And as Gimme stated, rom development is well on its way, especially with the sales over the last month there will be more support both from devs and 3rd market accessory suppliers (crossing my fingers).
YMMV, I never had a phone this nice before.
RR rom running perfect?
Where can I find these roms? The rom development section only has lineage
