[Q] I9500 international - issues with CM11 and asking for ROM advise - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there ,
So I got sick with my stock ROM hangs and being so laggy , finally decided to take action , sold my gear 2 neo watch and installed CM11 on my SGS4 device.
everything worked fine until the first phone call that I tried to place , I was riding my bike on my way to work and had a static noise in my ears in full volume , so loud and painful I almost made an accident.
turns out it's a known issue , but for me it's a deal breaker - most of phone calls do not work.
bluetooth headset is not working , mic headphones is not working.
This is a real shame , thought CM ROM for SGS4 is going to be bulletproof since it's a major device.
anyway , so now I have 2 options :
1) Going back to stock and suck it up.
2) Install some other ROM that works fine.
Question is , is there any stable ROM which was built from pure android same way CM is?
I'm not looking into experimenting with my device since I had enough of this back in my SGS1 days
any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Jawbone ERA Bluetooth Headset

First of all....i have had a jawbone since the first model...love them...they worked great on GB and ICS on my galaxy S and all the roms i tried there...now i have the JAWBONE ERA.
Since i recieved my n4 from the original US shipping batch the bluetooth / headset combo has been very poor. I know this has been on here, but i don't seem to know how to search just the n4 forum on my phone.
The bluetooth audio stutters during almost all calls. It is not all the time, but more than half of the calls i make i have to turn it off. when it works...its perfect. The stutter makes it to where you can't tell for 3 seconds what someone is saying. Sometimes it is one time on the call...or it continues every few minutes stuttering for 3 seconds.
this happened on Stock, Stock rooted, Stock rooted but upgraded to 4.2.1, Paranoid Android with stock kernel and Franco kernel 10 thru 30, and now JellyBeer with franco (did not try jellybeer's kernel).
does anyone have a link to a thread in the forum that may help me learn more?
What can I do to properly diagnose and get this diagnosis data to the forum? I'd love to help fix this!
or...am i crazy and my headset must me worn out?

[Q] [N900T] Skype mic stops working during calls

Hey all. I just got my Note 3 two weeks ago and I love it. The battery life is great, great specs, unlocked bootloader, and I find it easier to use in terms of size compared to the Galaxy S5. There is only ONE problem with this device.
The mic stops working during skype calls after random periods and the only solution is to hang up the call and call again. This lingers even after restarts of the app and phone.
Being a Nexus user since the Galaxy Nexus, the first thing I did was install TWRP and the latest CM nightly. I personally can't stand Touchwiz, which is why I sold my bootloader-locked GS5 to get this bad boy.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is it a Skype problem? Is it CM? Lollipop? My mic is fine, it works perfectly in every other application.
Also, I've noticed that USB 3.0 mode doesn't show up in the Connection type selection menu. Is USB 3.0 file transfer only supported in the stock kernel?

[Q] Mic not activating on call?

Hi guys to cut a long story short .....
Updated to lolipop from kit kat this month.
Two issues so far:
When making a call no one can hear me when someone rings me they can hear me?
The weather widget disapears but its still there as i wiz touch it it goes into the app. Have to remove app icon then stick it back onto the screen before it shows up again.
Things I'am doing:
Hard reset using kies to back up
Freed up mem and got rid of some apps
Two new apps before this became an issue nova 4 and mortal combat (kids doing)
Kit kat worked perfectly unitl now.
Hope someone can help?

Are you using stock rom or rooted one?
Stock rom problem solved the hard reset seems to have brought new life back to the device. It's on test I'll report back.

[G900F] Major issues with CM12.1. Any suggestions for a more stable ROM?

Hello XDA,
I recently got my hands on an S5 (SM-G900F) and it seems better than my Nexus 5, so I want to make it my main phone. As I do with all my phones, I immediately removed the vendor's bloatware/spyware by rooting and installing some custom ROM. This time I started with CM12.1, which seemed to be OK based on various comments here and reviews online.
However, I've run into several serious problems.
1.) Erratic Bluetooth behavior:
When paired with my car audio system, there are frequent pauses and "static" noises. Also, sometimes, when it pairs with the car, I can control the music via the car's navigation buttons but the music plays through the phone's speakers (!?!?). One more annoying issue: it pairs but sometimes wont start the music player, no matter how many times I press the "Play/Next" button on the car system.
2.) Wi-Fi Issues:
No matter which Wi-Fi I connect to, after a couple of hours I get the warning icon and I cannot access the internet (and it won't even switch to mobile data), so I miss important stuff without realizing. This is fixed by simply turning the Wi-Fi off and on again but, still, it's a show stopper.
3.) Random vibration:
I don't understand why the S5 just randomly vibrates in my pocket or why it vibrates and the screen turns on whenever I move it. I've found it unlocked and with random apps open, many times, after taking it out of my pocket...
4.) Bad Camera app
The Camera app that came with CM12.1 cannot take a single good picture; they're all blurry. It seems to have a problem with auto-focus. I had to install Snap Camera to take pics.
Since I originally installed CM12.1 based on positive feedback here on XDA, I would like to be a bit more cautious this time and ask people with more hands-on experience with the S5 to suggest a more stable ROM for me. I don't have any particular preferences. Anything that can run Nova Launcher is fine.
Thank you very much for your help

Hello, first time posting on XDA.
Recently bought a G900F aswell, rooted and flashed straight away the latest build of CM 12.1. Glad to see someone with the same issues as me.
Starting with the camera, I also notice the blur and the extreme auto focus problem. Good to know that others have it because I didn't even try it on stock so I was worried it was a hardware problem, going to give it a try on it or on another ROM to see the difference. I had a P970 and it also had camera problems initially with CM so I'm guessing it's normal for klte since there are only a few nightlies out yet.
The random vibrations are a thing, the phone heats sometimes and the battery autonomy isn't the best.
As for ROM's I'm going to start with SIXPERIENCE 7.0 because CM isn't kinda giving it to me yet, but I'd gladly hear which ones you guys recommend.
Stock ROMs are incredibly stable and smooth with a new launcher like Nova

Nexus 6 speaker issue POSSIBLE fix

I had retired my Nexus 6 a while ago due to the speaker issue that's been plaguing these devices. I decided not to sell it as it would be an issue for the next user, so I instead kept it in case of an emergency.
Certain issues have lead me to recommission the device, so I decided I'd see what's new. So far it is clear that there was never a fix, and some people swear that pressing on the speakers fixes the problem (whether temporarily or permanently). I never believed this as the only thing that seemed to fix it (temporarily) when touching the speakers is tapping on the speakers, but that seems to be related to the device rotating (which has also been known to let the volume go back up) and something within the gyroscope (something that some have brought up as well). My Nexus 6 unlike many others has the bigger problem where the volume will go down regardless of battery percentage, and it was terrible as there was never an instance in which I could truly use the speakers.
Reading around I have seen other "solutions" emerge, but never anything concrete. On a YouTube video's comment sections I saw one person mention that Franco.Kernel fixes this, for me this did nothing. On another forum I read a guy who said his issue stopped using Lean Kernel, and that it may have something to do with mp_decision. Unfortunately for me, I like to stick to the latest version that was officially released (in this case 7.1.1) and Lean Kernel doesn't seem to have made it that far. I gave up on experimenting for the sake of the speakers at this point and settled on my favorite rom which is Dirty Unicorns, using the final 7.1.1 build (somebody was nice enough to provide links as I could not find it anywhere and their official page only has their Oreo based builds). Obviously the speaker issue persisted here. At this point I wanted to see if there was a Kernel with good features and battery life and came across a thread that mentioned BL4CKB1RD Kernel. I flashed that and was a happy camper as my phone runs cooler (no difference has been made to my 4 hour average screen on time) and ultimately lag free. Reading the maker of the kernel's current set up using the kernel, I decided to copy it a bit by limiting my maximum CPU frequency to 2.5GHz and using said governor profile. I came across the mp_decision setting and turned it on just out of curiosity (I have no clue what it does). Later on, I went to watch a YouTube video and before I could connect my headphones, the video was playing...with perfect sound. I thought I was going crazy, so I let it play for a bit longer. No volume drop. I picked up the phone, moved it around, rotated it, blasted the volume to the max and still not a single drop. For literally an hour I watched videos and absolutely no volume issues. I decided to undo all kernel changes and reboot to see what would happen. Still no volume changes. I also decided to lock the CPU and GPU maximum frequency to produce more heat, still nothing. I played Subway Surfers which was a guaranteed instant volume drop, nothing. Rebooted several times more, let the battery die, speakers are still perfect. Could this kernel have fixed my issue? Maybe. It is also worth noting that before flashing the kernel, I ran a command via terminal emulator (requires root) that I read about BEFORE flashing the custom kernel, and I never rebooted my Nexus 6. The command can be found here (there was another thread that also included it but also linked to this thread):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/devs-only/speaker-amplifiers-nxp-tfa9890-research-t3236518
Anyone with the speaker issue should perhaps start by this command, reboot and see what happens. If not, try using BL4CKB1RD kernel and see what happens? If still nothing, try toggling mp_decision on and then test.

I just ordered a nexus 6, is this issue common? Does it affect stock rom or custom roms? I have a Moto X Pure at the moment, Nexus 6's brother, it has a similar issue where the sound cuts out when the phone is switched from portrait to landscape and vice versa but only affects custom roms. Its doesnt lower the volume though

For most the issue occurs at low battery, and the drop isn't major. I've seen some videos of people with this specific problem and I laugh because they don't know have it as bad as us with the major drops regardless of battery life. So pretty much the low battery volume issue is more common than the worse one, and you could say it is a common issue.
We had a white one that had absolutely no issues except a faster battery drain (perhaps because the speakers worked?!).

My Nexus 6 arrives tomorrow and I'll be flashing it right away. If I have a volume issue I'll definitely keep your kernel in mind. Thank you

Dumb question does your kernel already have these included?

Yes.
For what it is worth, mp-decision is Qualcomm's own hotplug: it turns the processor cores on and off depending on need. I guess it may use other tricks as well, to optimize power / performance.
No obvious reason that it should affect the speakers, but you never know.
Does this thread address the issue with SEVERAL 8.1 ROMs I've used, in which the speaker phone does not function during calls... and during calls alone. I can play media just fine... IMMEDIATELY after the speaker not working on the calls. I CAN however plug a headset in and communicate normally . Just desperately seeking an answer or I guess I'll go back to 7.1.2
So now nexus 6 is running pie roms nearly perfect . Unfortunately this sound problem persists… it is truely fristrating
So is there any kernel that can fix it in pie roms? Thanks
I have been using my nexus 6 for a couple of years now and had the speaker issue about a year ago and went into recovery and wiped cashe and the. Did a factory reset. Did an OTA update and everything was fixed.
Last weekend I finally flashed TWRP and then rooted with Magisk. Went to install myself5's Bata version of Carbon room running pie... Not sure what happened but had error code 7 and bricked the phone. Had to wipe it out and went though Google to get an old OTA and reflashed and thankfully got my phone back. Tried the process 3 other times and got the same result. Each time no speaker issue.
The last time I tried it I left it alone and didn't even put TWRP on it but now the speaker problem comes and goes.
5 min agot I was playing YouTube music with no issues, made a phone call, then back to YouTube and now the bottom speaker quit and the top speaker is very quiet.
Any ideas on what could have cause my issues and can someone direct me to where Ii can find more information or what I'm doing wrong on on flashing new roms?
Currently running Android 7.1.1 build NGI77B

I've honestly encountered this problem a couple times but rebooting/flashing fixed the problems. Worst case scenario go back latest Google ROM with WUG's software, then you can install TWRP, then a custom ROM like Nitrogen ROM.
Sent from my shamu using XDA Labs
I know nothing about what anyone is saying, but I would like to add that using Viper4Android, and using "eXtra loud" at "Moderate" with the max gain at 4x and the max output at 0db completely gets rid of the low volume problem. Viper works system wide so it fixes it for Netflix, etc
Hope this helps guys

Sorry for the late reply, I had to put the Nexus 6 on hold due to another issue with it. I tried your kernel with the latest official version of Dirty Unicorns, but unfortunately it does not boot. It will boot fine without flashing the kernel.

Having this same issue using the NitrogenOS Pie rom. Updated from 7.1.1 (didn't have this issue with 7.1.1).
Is it better with the Oreo 8.1?

No . I can confirm that all oreo roms got the same bug .
For me am using android x unofficial pie rom with popcorn kernel. This combination seems to fix this bug !
Try them or even try the kernel with nitrogen os rom .It may work..

Unfortunately no. Mine WAS working perfectly. The charge port broke after about two weeks after I made this thread (my luck), and after having it repaired, the problem seems to have gotten worse. For one, it no longer works in the configuration I mentioned in this thread (mind you, I did not reset it or anything). It also now varies from rom to rom, with the bigger issue now being that the top speaker ceases to function on certain roms, including the way I had it. Now, it drops volume for everything, and most of the time the top speaker will be weaker for the slight moments both decide to work.
New problem
Hi Crossvxm. I have had a Nexus 6 for two years. When I wiped it to sell it, the audio problem started. I had PureNexus.
I did what you suggested. I turned on mpdecision with BlackBird kernel and kernel auditor. I installed su terminal, to execute these commands with root access:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/tfa9890/8-0034/force_calib
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/tfa9890/8-0035/force_calib
And the full volume audio came back! Videos, youtube, all working again! But, the audio in calls worked no more. So, after that, I wiped all, installed PureNexus 7.1, Nitrogen 8.1, stock 7.1... I tried everything, but the audio in calls never returned. When I reinstalled all these roms, the low volume problem appeared again, but the audio in calls never came back. Even WhatsApp calls have no audio. The microphone still works, because the other person indeed can hear you.
Do you have an idea about how can I solve it? At least to leave it usable as phone. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and time.

This sounds like what happened to me recently. The configuration I mentioned in the very first post worked perfectly. After taking it to have the charge port fixed, the top speaker stopped working, and you could not hear the top speaker at all during calls. I thought the store broke it, but after giving up using it for some time, I realized that it would randomly try to output sound from the top speaker. After starting all over (flashing back to stock and flashing my same configuration again), the problem changed to where the top speaker was very low in sound when both speakers felt like working. I flashed the latest Dirty Unicorns based on 8.1 along with Popcorn Kernel by athulele but unfortunately it did not boot (as mentioned in his thread, the kernel is Lineage based).
I gave up on the Nexus for a few more days. When I decided to give it another go, I flashed the latest LineageOS (along with root for it via their own separate flashable zip), flashed Popcorn Kernel, installed Kernel Adiutor from Google Play (yes, it's spelled that way), installed the Terminal Emulator for Android and ran the command as well as checking the kernel settings to ensure MP Decision was on, capping the max frequency to 2.4Ghz (feels much less hot) and making sure everything was set to "set on boot". Unfortunately it did not work. The only way I got it to work again was to give up again, flash back to stock and flash Lineage and Popcorn Kernel exactly as I explained in this second paragraph.
So why did it work this time around? Everything was done the same, what could possibly make it work? I have a theory. When it was taken to the shop for repair, the battery died since it was already at 20%. As you can see I mentioned a few times "I gave up" on it, meaning I stopped bothering to fix it, and eventually it would run out of battery mainly from wifi and notifications. Every time it was dead, it was usually dead for at least 24 hours. Each time around, the issue would change. I don't know what it has to do with anything, but I do believe it plays a key role. Try letting your battery die, charge it back up to 100% and then try the process from either paragraph two or from my original post. After it began working again, I abused the heck out of the speakers, rebooted the phone, tried calls, etc. all without letting the battery die and it has not stopped working. I recently sold it as is and was contacted by the person who purchased it who was confused as he did not experience any sound drops either. He was originally buying it to replace the screen on his but decided to stick with mine since it was working perfectly so far.
