Questions before buying - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I think I'll go for this phone. Coming from s5 dual. I need a longer battery life and a bit larger screen also 32GB on board needed.
And of course dual sim variant
- can someone test call recording pls? Does the phone record both sides from both SIMs?
- Ill get it from India, would it be working in the UK with Three?
- anything I need to know before buying this device, folks?
Thanks,

I don't often make calls but did test call recording and it was able to record both sides. Since I have the single SIM version I can't confirm that it works on both SIM (or will keep working in a future update).
You might also want to know that the phone has no gyroscope meaning no photo spheres and no VR on this.
If the phone is unlocked it should work in the UK. I believe the UK model is the XT1562, India is probably XT1563. Only difference is that XT1563 supports more LTE bands.

The Indian variant is XT1562 as well. Ideally, it should support the same bands. It's a pretty darn decent device for the price tag. Go for it!

one more - does this phone have LED notification for emails, text etc?

No it doesnt, but you can install a kernel for that! So in practice YES it have, but with stock rom NO.

Hello, can anyone confirm if this device has some throttling issue?
I have seen quite a few reviews in YouTube and almost all of them stated the issue's presence.
And if there is such issue can it be fixed with the Squid's Kernel?
If There's no issue or even if there is and have been fixed, I will gladly buy this device.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Call recorder to recommend? I'm been harassed. Pls help.

Hi, all.
I know there are plenty programs that can record calls, but I was never lucky to find any that would work properly on my Defy.
I'm running Quarx's CM11. Is there any that you know it works properly with it?
I need this as I'm having a problem with a bank. They are harassing me via telephone, and I'm in the edge of suing them for the original problem itself, and this too. So having the calls recorded would be quite useful as proofs.
Thanks.

I use this one. It's free and works well.
Thanks, man.
I wasn't using it 'cause I tried it a couple years ago with CM7, and didn't quite work =/ Actually it lagged the phone badly.
But this time, works flawlessly. And it's not intrusive at all as other free programs, which pops dialogues, notifications.. This one is discrete.
=)
BTW, I sued the bank xD
EDIT: And I won =)

[Q] HELP! Nexus 4 Original Audio File Needed

Hello everyone...
I ordered a Nexus 4 right before the announce date of the new Nexus 5, and it was straight from Google Play in the US. When I received the phone I had no chance to check it out since it uses the micro sim and I was leaving next day morning to another country.
Reached my final destination, and got me a new sim card "micro", inserted the sim card and as soon as i powered it on, it asked me for an update! The phone came with stock rom 4.3 and it asked for two updates:
4.4 and then it updated it self to 4.4.2 Kitkat
After the phone updated it self, I tried to use it by making a phone call and guess what? No audio, neither from my end or the other end, even the voip applications such as skype, viber or any other calling app..
Found also that my mic doesn't record at all in any of the apps, neither video, or even with a headphone mic!
I have searched the internet for such problem, and it appeared there are 1000's of people complaining about the no call audio issue. Some of my friends recommended me to ask my question here in your forum, since there are a lot of talented people around and here I am..
I checked your forum before posting this thread, and non of the cases applies to me at all. But!! The only thing that I came a cross is this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/fix-call-audio-t-mobile-4-2-2-33-radio-t2233319
When i did that fix, I was able to hear the ring through the wired earphones during the regular outbound voice calls. And I was able to make voip calls through skype, viber and majictalk. ONLY THROUGH the wired headphones.
And got stock now at that point and I don't know what to do next...
So my question is:
Can any of you guys can help me out by attaching/sending a fully functioning Nexus 4 running 4.4.2 rom >> snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 file??
That would be my last chance before tossing that piece of garbage in the trash.. I want to try the snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 of a normal phone since the one I have changed, for some reason the lines never matched the original thread by big time!
Please let me know if any of you can upload one.
Kind regards and thanks in advance

If that doesn't work out you can try to flash different radios, not sure which one you need though. But it can all be done inside the toolkit

Thank you for the reply.. Maybe I wasn't clear enough.. But I have tried every single solution out there... Till I reached this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexu...radio-t2233319
The voip works now but with only wired headset.. And through the earpiece I was able to hear the other party's ring.. But when he/she answers I can't hear them or they can't hear me..
That means it is not a hardware issue tho "as far as my knowledge"!
Again, I have tried to downgrade, I even reached the 4.2.1 rom, with all the up to the current one 4.4.2, I have tried different radios, ..etc NO LUCK!
I have uploaded my original file tho if that will help
Thank you again

I'm kinda clueless here.. Do you have warranty on it?
I would take it to the store if I were you. But I guess you're pretty far away from the store you bought it from.
My attachment didn't upload! Let me try again..
And regarding the warranty, YES! It has a full year warranty.. About the store.. here is the issue, I left the USA the next I received my phone.. The item was purchased from Google Play directly.. Now they have no issue to return it or do RMA.. The thing is to ship it back and forth will cost me four time the money that I paid for! Its better to toss it away and get me a different phone since the Nexus has a lot of issues even tho with brand new N5
NOTE: The file has been uploaded.
Thanks

intermittent phone call microphone issue

Hi
Recently my S6e+ has stopped working during calls. More times than not when someone phones me they cannot hear me but i can hear them perfectly. I will phone them back and then it will work perfectly and they can hear me. It doesn't seem to matter whether it is an incoming or outgoing call.
I thought it was due to root and xposed being installed however i went back to stock and the issue is still there. I have tried using the voice recorder app and it works perfectly every time!
Very strange. Any ideas?
I know there is another thread about call issues but i don't believe it is exactly the same issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Which kernel do you use? Probably related with kernel, but could be mixer_paths too. Whats been changed or flashed in recents?

Currently on skyhigh 4.0. I have recently installed xposed with the following modules.
Gravity box
Wanam
Amplify
Greenify
Flat style bars
Xblast
Blurred system ui
I have also installed v4a.
I can also vaguely remember installing a ROM which had CSC options, would this affect calls?

i have updated the kernel to 4.4 but the problem still persists. I managed to get my hands on stock CSC files (apart from the feature.xml) and now messages work fine. Calls are still intermittent though, its almost like my microphone is turned off and the caller cant hear me, but i can hear them?

Yes I've faced this issue too but which rom I cant remember, I think I reflash the rom cleanly and fixed this. At the other hand I saw this issue in note 5 thread too. Dr. Ketan's has got fix zip to this, but not sure if it works for edge plus or not.

I got this issue too when Im using note 5 rom. When I turn the speaker on, mic goes off and had to call again. Did you try talk towards top microphone when in call? It sometimes changes the main mic, you should try it. Which rom do you use btw?

I have no problem with calls now. Will this fix or not dont know but I prefer you to try replacing mixer_paths.xml from stock rom or Audax rom to your current rom(/system/etc)(Dont forget to set permissions as rw- r- r). Whichever rom you use still have no idea but maybe you try different kernels like arter97 too(If you havent tried yet)..

When I flash a Tmobile based rom, I use this way to fix it and it works ok. Present days Im using Note 5 rom which is n920G.. based. Havent replaced anything but no problem with calls. If you havent had that issue before the custom rom or something you flash which causes this issue, its probably a software issue. Otherwise Im gonna think your mic has broken down..
Same problem here. Did you manage to fix it by any chance?

Bug 4G vs. 3G (Elephone P9000)
I can't receive calls when I have activated the 4G but when I'm going to make a call the phone automatically switches from 4G to 3G.
I know that the solution is to put the phone in 3G, but,
Why The Elephone P9000 can not automatically change from 4G to 3G when he receives calls?
Version: P9000_Android 6.0_20160315
Hello,
I have my elephone since 2 days with the last update.
Except the camera, everything is fine: The camera take very dark pictures, and with a strong blurry effect.
Note: the Bluetooth consumes a lot of battery compared to my previous smartphone.
Version: P9000_Android 6.0_20160315
After a couple of days with the newest update the fingerprint scanner isn't as good. The original was accurate but not fast. Now it isn't fast or accurate. It works 60-70% of the time. I took it off. Switching phones for a couple of days. I'm not giving up on it as it has great promise, just waiting for next update to try again.

You can try to set the factory set again after OTA, so the system will record your fingerprint date, try it, friend.

when your call is on, it will change to 3G, and after you finish your call, it will change to 4G again, because it's only support 2G call network.
Do you mean you can't receive call when the phone is in 4g?

Headphones too loud even at the lowest level
Hello
The lowest headphones volume is too loud, I can't listen music with this phone. If I set the volume to a lower level, it's mutted.
==> I fixed it with the *#3646633# code
Unknow number!!
When I make a call by choosing a friend from the phone book, the name and number appear regularly. When the friend answer the call, P9000 does not show the number and name, but only 'unknown'. When the call is over, the call log shows 'unknown'. This happens with the sim 3 ITA, not with other sim. This sim 3 ITA in other phones operate normally. This is a very very annoying bug. Can it be solved?
For the rest, P9000 is a very nice smartphone.

3 ITA is a sim of '3' operator in Italy. I'm from Italy. The same sim, in other phone, is ok. Every person I call, when answers, on P9000 display, the number (or name, if the person is in my phone book) swith to 'unknown'.....So, my call log is full of 'unknown'...and I don't remember my calls.....
