Skype & Kitkat issue

Everything was perfect when i was on Android 4.3, any skype calls working, video/audio doesn't matter.
But when i updated my wife's phone to kitkat, some skype calls making phone reboot(black screen, then its loading as usual).
It happens not always. And i have noticed that it crashes only while talking to people who have Windows XP installed(with latest version of skype, checked & updated myself).
When she talks to anyone on 7&8 Windows - everything is perfect.
I have tried all custom roms, original, rooted\not rooted, anything.
I gonna write this issue to Skype too.
Skype support asked that Skype not supporting KitKat yet.
Btw it only happens on Nexus 4, when i'm on my phone (XT910) on KitKat, it works and not hangs.

In my case occurs the same...I believe is maybe kit Kat by itself and usually happens when I leave a call in the background while I use another application. Unfortunately I haven't found any solution for that.

i have noticed that it crashes only while talking to people who have Windows XP installed(with latest version of skype, checked & updated myself).

Not really. The problem is a bit more serious: all ROMs (stock and custom) based on 4.3 or 4.4 are affected by this overly annoying camera bug. I obviously hope you're not, but if you end up as unlucky as I did, your camera and LED flash will soon become totally unusable (on all applications), fixable only by reverting to 4.2 or updating to L (I did and it's totally worth it)
Good luck :good:

Also another issue with Skype and N4 is that whrn listening to music and an image is being sent / received in the Skype chat window, fetching that image from the gallery/disk causes the audio system to crash. It's really annoying. Probably it's the same issue as the well-known audio stutters on changing connectivity and high cpu load.

Im using the Verizon G2 and running 4.4 2...xdabebb rom..i use skype a lot for business calls and havent come across this issue at all. On unrooted stock as well as custom. Ive also faced no issues on an S4 i9500...so it might not really be a kit kat issue but a nexus 4 specific...or an aosp based rom specific issue

I have another kind of issue with my xiaomi Mi2 with MIUI Rom on kitkat 4.4.4. I have systematically a black screen when the communication is established on Skype also using test sound server. The sound is working but I can't do nothing with the phone until the end of communication decided by my correspondant.. Very annoying . I have post the question to Skype 5 days ago but no answer. Skype was working properly on my phone on miuiv5 android 4.1.2

I'm having the exact same problem ... I was talking on Skype video call and the phone screen went black and I couldn't hear the other party.. I don't if they were able to hear me or not. I had to hold the power button and reboot my phone manually. I don't know what the problem is but its very annoying and it happened three times in a row. I have used multiple ROMs and it was happening on all of them and they were all 4.4.4. I don't flash kernels, I just use the kernels that come with ROM because they have obviously been tested and have been found compatible with the rom. So I know its not because of kernels. Currently I'm on Slimkat latest weekly and was thinking about going back to stock but someone said its also happening on stock ROM. I'm going to try CM11 and see if it happens there as well. Will report back soon. Hopefully it's just a 4.4.4 issue and not a phone issue.

This version is pretty stable imo. I've encountered only one issue: After I use the GPS, the phone heats up and it starts draining battery. This can be solved by restarting the phone after using GPS stuff (Google Maps etc). I rarely use the GPS so this doesn't bother me. Other than that, performance is good and battery is the same as on LP. All sensors are working correctly.

Other than GPS everything good?
4G?

the bugs of this phone are a russian roulette, the phone is the same but there are huge differences of how the phone is bugged from piece ti piece. for me working all except the proximity sensor, battery is good but I use greenyfy and have debloated all.
you must try mm and see if you will be lucky or not.
see here for more info on bugs detected

Only problem for me (and it happens also to others here) is sometimes the screen freeze, music/video still playing, haptic feedback on buttons, but nothing else, after ~20 seconds everything freeze and need to hard reboot. This happens ~1 a day.

Had a few call freezes on 223M , 184M was better on battery IMO
But since latest TWRP installed , getting 5 hrs screen on time to my personal 6hrs record on .184M
Bear in mind , its stock with junk removed , rooted etc etc

Audio problems with Nougat

Hi,
I recently updated my phone to Nougat 7.0 and have been having some problems.
1. When I am listening to music using Google Play Music and I lock or unlock my phone, the music sometimes skips for a moment. Not a big deal, but it's an annoyance.
2. This is the bigger problem - my loudspeaker sometimes doesn't work. I first noticed it yesterday because system sounds weren't playing, and also when I tried to play music through the loudspeaker, it was very quiet and tinny and barely audible. It seemed to fix itself once I toggled silent mode a few times. However, this morning, none of my alarms rang, it also didn't make any noise when calls / texts came in. Luckily the vibration managed to wake me up!
I'm pretty sure that it is a software problem as it started happening since upgrading to Nougat, and also I haven't dropped it or had it in water recently. I have not rooted my phone or anything, it is all stock. I've only had this phone for around 6 months. Wish I hadn't updated to Nougat now as Marshmallow was working perfectly! I have since rebooted the phone and it seems to be working fine for now...
Has anyone else had this problem? I have tried searching on xda and on Google and can't find anything. Perhaps I need to send this back for replacement?

First mistake: updated to nougat.
Second mistake: not rooted.
Try to revert back to mm and root to install some audio mods.

My S7 had the same problems with the loudspeaker sometimes it work for some hours without any problems but then the problem comes back. Samsung-Hotline told me the problem is new they didn't hear anything about that!
Factory-Reset
SIM-/SD-Card removed
notthing works for me.
I hope they will start the rollout of 7.1.2 without this problem

Odd. Are you guys on sd variants of the phone? I'm on exynos and had no issues with nougat.

Problem with Moto G 5 Plus Haptic Feedback

Hello everybody. I'm having an annoying issue with my Moto G 5 Plus wich started recently.
Sometimes when I'm using the keyboard, the low vibration every key does instantly deactivates, including the response of the fingertrip sensor (it still works but it wont vibrate too). After a couple of minutes or hours it starts working again as it should be.
I have the Amazon Ads & Offers version, so I cannot root it yet, I think, and I'm pretty sure its a software issue, as I've seen more posts of the same problem in the Lenovo forums.
Using the phone on secure mode havent presented this problem yet.
Any advice or solution?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. It restarts working if I use one of the Moto Action, for example camera gesture. Sometimes also restart working randomly, as you said. But I've searched some fix, but I didn't found nothing. I'm on potter_n (European model with NFC) so it should be a software bug, but it happens too randomly to say this :/
The only probable cause could be the hot weather of these days.
Did you found something?

Same issue, rooted .

It's probably an issue with the haptic motor. I've had this issue for the past several months, both on stock and custom ROMs. From what I know, it's not an uncommon issue on Potter.

Echo during Duo and WhatsApp video call on basically every custom ROM

Hi there,
I've tried a lot of ROM for my oneplus 2 phone and all most every ROM worked flawlessly with every feature that I've needed, but there's one feature that I really really need that I found to be broken on every ROM that I've tried:
Everytime I make a video call on google Duo or WhatsApp using speakers, the other person ears his echo making the call impossible.
I've tried all most every lineage ROMs (the official an unofficial), RR ROM, Pixel ROM, android versions 8.1, 9 and 10...
Does anyone know a fix for this?
This is very annoying and that's the only reason I don't use the phone anymore.
Thank you for your help!
Merry Christmas to everyone and stay safe!
