[Q] My second experience with CM 10.2

Last weekend for the second time flashed Quarx's CM 10.2 Nightly from CM 10-2ndboot. Here's my report:
1) Experienced the "unfortunately android keyboard has stopped" problem after updating. Didn't know how to solve it, so I had to flash SBF and still had this issue. After numerous times of reflashing finally got this problem gone. So I guess it's my flashing problem (?).
2) 720P Recording isn't working, although this is th default present for the camera app.
3) I wonder if anyone else noticed it: texts in the SMS app is thincker yet blur tha the previous roms (CM10 or earlier). Actually it's hard to read.
4) Also, the touch buttons' lightness is no longer auto-adjusted - either 100% light or off. Don't know if this is a univeral Jelly Bean issue or only occurs for Defy.
5) Last but not least: how can I disable the animation effects while switching the home screens?
Except from the above, all other functions worked fine. But in the end I flashed back to my previous choice - the stable CM10-2nd boot builds due to all those small but iritating issues.
Maybe they will all be solved in KitKat?

1. Usually this is a wrong gapps issue.
2. 720p rec might not be working due to green lens Defy.
3. No, it looks the same.
4. Yes, i've noticed this too, but it's not a major issue.
5. I think there is an option in Trebuchet settings/use a different launcher.

1) You need to install the correct gapps from TJKV (unfortunately i can't post links)
2) It's working for me (Defy+).
3) It's perfect in my Defy+, not blurry.
4) It's true, nothing to say.
5) Go to Settings>Developers option>Drawing and turn Animation off in this itens: Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration sacel.

[Q] No mic/earpiece in calls

Situation
Bought Nexus 4 refurbished, works great except for this issue. Back speaker works great, Google Search works with mic (Ok Google). Updated via OTA all the way to 5.0. Am using phone on a carrier in Ecuador.
Problem
When making a phone call over the local carrier, call connects (you can see the counter on screen), music, if playing, pauses as it should. But no audio from the earpiece, and the other side does not hear anything from my side. Tried putting call on speaker, nothing. Tried with headphones, nothing. However, when making a Hangouts call over data, mic/earpiece work fine. To me, this means the hardware functions, so it must be software related. The phone sends SMS without issue, so it works with the local carrier. Also data works without any issue.
What I've done so far
Searched high and low, and it seems this is a somewhat common problem that some have fixed in many different ways. Please let me know if you know of another that I may have missed.
Downgrading to 4.4.4
Upgrading back to 5.0
Factory Reset
Flash 5.0 Factory image
Upgrade to 5.0.1
Flash complete 5.0.1 Factory image
Flashed latest CM11 nightly
Tried several "solutions" found on Google Group forum, such as pluging headphones in and out
Flashed Hybrid modem with included audio fix
Switched SIM cards
Installed SoundAbout, and tried many different options - redirecting Phone Audio, even changing options for Headset detection (thought the phone was confused, thinking the headphones were in)
Tested mic with recording apps and by recording videos, all work fine.
Installed PAC-ROM without Gapps to see if it was the Google Play Services issue
Disabled the CheckInService
I think I've tried more, but can't remember them all. It's been over a week, and can't answer or make phone calls.
Coming to my wits end, and it's extremely frustrating since it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, and I hate giving up on something I can fix. Any suggestions?
(Edited and added a couple more tests to the list)

yep, you are not the only one with this issue, it started to plague users just recently, including me and from what i've learned so far it has got something to do with google play services.
however for me, flashing 5.0/5.0.1 resolved it (i only encountered it on CM4.4.4 )
here is another topic bout this. good luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/audio-call-nexus-4-cm11-t2924589
ps. this thread i linked above acutally contains some solution/workaround involving disabling one of the google play services. just read through the whole thread

If this is really about Google Services, try installing a ROM without adding GApps. You can then state if they are really the culprit here.

I too had the exact same problem. I was on CM 4.4.4 nightlies. Moving to stock lollipop5.0 solved the problem.

I tried that too. I installed PAC-ROM, the latest nightly, without GAPPS. Booted fine, all seems to be working except sound in calls.
I also tried disabling the CheckIn Service, as was mentioned in the other thread, still no luck. So frustrating!!
I'll try them all again...

HijoProdigo,
+1 on flashing a 5.0 ROM.
Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks back. After messing with the phone for three days, flashing a Lollipop ROM solved the issue (I used CM12 unofficial nightlies)

I'll give it a try. I had tried with the official CM11, both with and without Gapps, but no luck.

Auto rotate and active display won't work

As the title suggests these functions won't work. Autorotate started working briefly but now it is still not functional. The hardware is fine, since testing the accelerometer with an app showed change in all directions. Suggestions?

at least give more details. what rom are you on? when did they stop working?

I am running marshmalux v2 with squid's kernel and xposed installed. I am not really sure when it started since my default set up is portrait mode. However a month or so ago when I tried to watch a video on yt the screen wouldn't rotate even though I had shifted to auto rotate. What is really puzzling is that camera rotation works fine.
EDIT: Flashed another ROM to check if the issue persists. It didn't help.

bump

So I have an update on my issue. Maybe it can help someone else but I have partially solved it. As I said earlier flashing stock didn't fix it. Even after frashing a complete factory image, the issue persisted. What seemed to remedy the issue was flashing non-stock based roms such as cyanogen. The gestures still don't work, but auto-rotation functions as it should.
I would be grateful if somebody has a suggestion. I really want to try spectrum ROM, which is stock based.

Weird problems with nexus 6p

Hello.
My friend got a nexus 6p one year ago. One month ago he started to have problem. He was on stock rom
-First when he pressed the touch screen he heard small weird noises (hard to describe)
Then progressively :
-Speaker stopped working
-he could not play youtube video in you tube app : a weird error message (every time different) appeared. Gallery videos don't work as well
-But weirdly enough video played in the web browser including youtube videos, works, still without sound.
-He cannot make calls
-Jack plug doesn't works either, but he can use his Bluetooth headphones
We tried to install a custom rom (lineage os). We succeeded, but the above problem appeared again.
Then we flashed the factory image [url]https://developers.google.com/android/images[/URL] for nexus 6p. We also succeed but the above problem appeared again.
Thanks in advance for your help

The 6P has two speakers, and they wouldn't both fail at the same time. Sounds like he's damaged the phone somehow. The audio jack and speaker output both not working seem to back this up. I've seen the headphone jack part available separately, and there are guides available to replace it. Before flagging it as a hardware issue and opening the phone up, you want to make sure you wiped the phone completely by formatting the partitions (system, userdata, cache) and use the flash-all.bat included with the full Google image. There is a remote chance it is software related, but I doubt it.

You could always flash a custom kernel, use a kernel manager app to turn off the large core cpu and see if the problems go away. If they do its related to the build problem that causes the 6P to boot loop but those particular symptoms aren't familiar. It's still worth a try if flashing the stock image doesn't fix the problem.

You mean disabling the big CPU ?

Yes. You can always turn it back on but turning it off apparently fixes the permanent boot loop problem on the Nexus 6P. If the problems you are describing are related to the same build problem then turning it off might make them go away. Sometimes people's phones would start acting odd before going into the permanent bootloop. That phone could be on its way there.

this is purely a guess but the problem may be hardware related with the headphone jack. it could have a physical short somewhere. if thats the case the device may think a headphone jack is being used and wont play through speakers because its being told its plugged in. But wont play because of some physical short or an open.

Touch not working in games - Custom Rom

I've been looking around to solve this issue, but haven't have much luck. It looks like it's an issue with a good number of ROMs on this phone, but my issue is that after some time, the touchscreen in some games and apps stops working normally.
Phone is running Lineage 16, rooted w/ magisk
To have it work, I need to hold one finger on the screen and the other finger will register properly.
The issue can temporarily be fixed by rebooting the phone.
I notice the issue occurring when an app/game accesses the camera. At that moment, issue occurs.
I came across this in my searches: https://review.lineageos.org/c/Linea...ative/+/198809
Not sure exactly how to work with that, but I figured I would provide as much info as I can before asking for help. Thanks ahead for the help
