as per title really?
I've googled around a bit and not found anything definitive to explain the root-cause.
A few sites and threads claim to fix or provide a workaround, but from what I've read these are not 100% guaranteed to fix on all variants , all ROMs
I personally have tried latest versions of:
RamRom
DN
X-Rom
Norma
...with none having any fingerprint functionality before or after trying various "fixes"
What gives?
Edit: Yes, we know fp is pretty crap on N4 out of the box anyway, but please, can someone provide detail on why the N7 ports often fail in fp function ?
Well actually the fingerprint reader is really great on my N910C, and I have yet to find any Marshmallow rom that offers fingerprint log-on after a cold boot. They all work for apps and stand-by on/off log-on, but not at boot.
I think, as per usual, the hardware support for developers is crap by Samsung.
In Lollipop roms the fingerprint reader works like a charm.
I'm using nemesis Rom, using 3rd party app work like a charm.
Name of d app called (applock) pro version from play store.

Finger scan lock is working flawlessly in RamRom here on latest version (6) for N910F/G. It was pretty smooth on the last version (4) too.

Fingerprint Enabler xposed module can be used to enable fingerprint log-on after boot.
And if one wishes to bypass the fingerprint log-on, No Lock Home xposed module can be used, works when connected to wi-fi.
If you're talking about Note 7 ports, the reason why fingerprint is not working, the same reason as to why AOD is not working, is because of hardware differences.
The reason why Ramrom manages to get fingerprint working is because it's not really a port but more of a stock Note 4 rom with a Note 7 skin and apps available on it.
I recently updated to nougat on my s7 edge and noticed "disable absolute volume control" under developer options. As far as I can tell this feature never worked with any of my BT devices. Is this disabled by Verizon or just broken on my phone?
It's not just about your device, it's a widespread problem of Nougat. I'm facing same problem on Xperia Z5C. Try looking for some patches|fixes on github for any Nougat ROM.
nobody else has this issue with my phone? still not working for me...
does anyone have it working and can prove it?
So I have managed to install and download Daydream and Daydream games. When I launch it, either I get the games running in full screen 2D mode (which is useless for VR) or sometimes I get a black screen with the vertical white centre line. Occasionally I hear sound but there is no visual content. Just black screen.
I have tried the sailfish build prop entry.
I have tried pixelify majisk module.
I have of course added the needed 2 lines to etc permissions file.
I have tried a combination of enabling and disabling the above. Nothing works. It's driving me nuts.
I am on latest 7.0 official rom. No custom ROM, just rooted.
What puzzles me I hear so many people getting to to work straight away. Do I need the official Daydream headset? Maybe they don't work as no NFC chip is detected.
I wonder if it only works on phones with Snapdragon and not Exynos?
Anyone succeed?
No one?
Hi,
I'm trying to figure what options there are for robust call recording apps on rooted OP6Ts.
I'd like to know if a specific call recording application functions on Andriod Pie after rooting the device.
This application
here's the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder&hl=en_US
If those running a rooted OP6T would install the app and make a few calls I'd appreciate it.
Here's a number to Health and Human Services Office of Civil Right (all prerecorded menus; we won't bother anyone) to do test calls: (800) 368-1019
You may need to do some basic setup. Make sure call recording occurs automatically, or allow the overlay and manually engage the call recording.
For those willing to go to some effort, if at first the app doesn't work, the "Recording Settings" can be tweaked.
I don't know what the difference is between methods, other than that they change how the app tries to get voice data to record.
Can you hear both yourself and the the caller in the recording?
What recording settings were used?
What format did the recording save to (AAC/MP3/Wav?)
What is the sound quality of the recording?
Do any of the above change if you plug in a USB-C earbud/microphone or earbud/microphone attached via USB-C to 3.5mm/TRRS.
(note: bluetooth headsets have compatibility issues even on phones the app works; headset would need to be wired for this test, though info on Bluetooth would be nice if one is so inclined to provide it)
In the applications inbox for recordings, does the number or contact information show up, or is it listed only as "outgoing" or "incoming" call.
Alternatively, I'd be interested in any information/experiences rooted users may have with other call recording software. Such as Another Call Recorder - Unchained (https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.nll.acr). In particular, reliability and call recording quality (as good as 'the call').
Note: I'm aware Native Call Recording can be enabled via ADB. I have done this in my testing. The sound quality is awful on the OP6T I have (which is unrooted; uncertain yet if I need to return).
It seems the OP6T or the OP6T I received has issues with AAC/mp4 and other codecs, which may or may not involve something to do with how it's handling sampling rates - I recall reading that certain ROMs cause issues with audio frequency/sampling. It's a mystery to me. Looking to gather more information and hope that members of XDA can assist in this.
theres a magisk module to enable call recording. works perfect. at least it does on my 6t. recordings are clear. no issues at all. root your phone and try it. no need to install a recording app. the module even works on android 10 so.

Well, so my understanding is the Magisk module basically enables the native call recorder.
I've done that via ADB without rooting the phone and the call recording quality is poor. The the call recording apps still don't work properly. Though some of them can use the native call recorder to record calls. But again, audio quality is poor.
Meanwhile, my galaxy s5 on Marshmallow records with excellent sound quality. Though some calls get missed or have issues, which why I want to upgrade/resolve this problem.
Also, the need to note who a call is from and what was spoke of so as to create a call database that allows making sense of matters, I need that to be able to go back and sort through notes. An app lets me do that: date, time, person, with brief synopsis of most relevant information taken directly after the call ended and was saved.
Anyways, I'm not sure if it's a problem with the phone I received (it is 'refurbished' via Amazon Renewed) or a problem with the 6T, but every application I've tried to make a voice recording or call recording using AAC or MP4 runs into this poor audio quality recording issue in addition to the 'other party' not being recorded. This poor audio quality issue exists even with the ADB command and native call recording. Meanwhile, if I call my Galaxy S5 and just speak through the OP6T through my earbuds connected via USB-C dac, the S5 records a perfectly audible call recording.
So...I was hoping to hear more from other 6T owners and see if rooting could be expected to change any of these problems, or at least determine if these are problems that can be observed by others. It's kind of hard to assess if rooting will help out without committing to keeping this phone. The moment I root, it's hard to return it if things turn out to not work out the way I need.
Rooting the phone takes 5 minutes, installing the module less than one. You'll have your answer in less time than it took you write your posts.
Experiment instead of being in the abstract. You'll know then if you have to return the phone, after uninstalling root. From OnePlus point of view, rooting doesn't invalidate the warranty.

I'm running the latest Open Beta, and pretty adb savvy, just a little confused by AB partitions lol. Thank you!

why can't you restore the phone? the normal msmdownloadtool is for international 6t's theres even one available for the t-mobile 6t to return it to t-mo's firmware. do some looking. it's all available on this forum.
also why not try android q. why pie for this. i don't see the point in pie when q is out and pretty stable atm

So, I doubt they'd appreciate the phone being rooted. You're quite right that the most expedient method would be to root and find out, just one I hesitate to try. If rooting didn't turn out to be a solution, I must return the OP6T to the Amazon seller.
Looking into things, I've learned the OP6T has a history of problems with microphone audio in third party applications. And a post at one call recording app developer's forum suggested some phones have issues with sampling frequencies that are caused by ROM issues.
Some OOS update notes indicate fixes have been made in some versions for mic issues, but I'll have to update to see if the issues I'm encountering are the same they addressed. I'm trying to find the right ROMs from a trusted source to update the phone, as the auto-update just sits there and tells me 9.0.11 OOS is 'up-to-date'.
Strangely, OnePlus doesn't offer previous firmware's via their support site, just the latest, which updates to Andriod 10, and I have more issues with call recording exist with 10 than 9.

Does Andriod Q have some benefit to call recording? I recall a news article that postulated Google might be restoreing call recording, but it remains unclear if, how, or when.
OnePlus don't care about root. You can do whatever you want with your phone as long as your don't mess with hardware. It doesn't void the warranty at all. But if you prefer to colocate things it's up to you. Good luck.

Well, when I chatted with their support they said their official recommendation was to not root. Which is pretty much what every manufacturer says. I'll keep it in mind. Going to await OnePlus supports assistance tracking down an older OOS version to flash; see what they does.

google actually removed the ability to record calls in q. even there api is no longer allowed. the reason for this is because call recording is illegal in probably 90% of the world. however since it is legal in a few places(specifically places oneplus sells there phones) oneplus allows it if you enable the feature by toggling it on. hence the magisk module for it. the call recording magisk module that installs an app also works really well on q but it's 10$ for the full app that gets installed. for me it was just easier to enable the built in feature. besides why pay 10$ if you dont have to.

Does Andriod Q break call recording for OnePlus phones, or does the toggle still work?
Does rooting restore call recording to Q in other phones?
Do you think it's possible to create a custom ROM that adds back the call recording API to Q so that full call recording capability is restored?

why would it break it on q on oneplus phones. they have there own implimentation of it. it's disabled by default but can easially be enabled once on the official oneplus software. and yes this includes converted t-mobile 6t's
why would rooting restore call recording on other phones. this isnt other phones threads this is a oneplus 6t thread. you wanna know about other phones go ask in there threads not here
no. as i said google has disabled the feature in q and dropped the api for it so no it is not possible to add it to a custom rom that i know of.
you want anymore info ask elsewhere as i really dont know much more then what i have already mentioned
