[Q] Upgraded to CM10.2-20130814-NIGHTLY-mako, cannot make phone call anymore

Someone please help.
I upgraded my Nexus 4 from CM10.1 to CM10.2-20130814-NIGHTLY-mako through settings-Cyanongenmod Updates.
Now I experience the following issues:
1), when making/receiving phone calls, no sound in/out; If I put on speaker, I can hear other people talking.
2), cannot download/update anything from Google Play.
Please help.

I recommend backing up your phone and then wiping it and doing a clean install of 10.2

Is it only me? does anyone else have the same problem?
I understand a clean installation may fix the problem; but I am trying not to do that due to time consuming before and after every clean installation. Normally, take me a whole day to go through settings and home screen layouts.
By the way, I cannot revert back to CM10.1 through settings-CyanogenMod Updates; screen stays on loading icon forever. Any ideas?

Use Helium. Then you can back up your settings, Launcher settings, text messages, ect, apps included if you want to your Gdrive, wipe, re-install and then just download Helium and pull it back down. It takes me about 4 minutes to back up my settings for:
Touchdown
Airdroid
Launcher
WiFi settings
Messaging
Chrome
G+
Keep
Voice
Skype
Hangouts
Then I wipe and flash a new ROM + Gapps (5min, if that), pull down Play Store update + Apps that I want to put back on my phone(about 7-10min), and then restore my settings(about 5min). I'm ready to go in maybe 25 minutes with the exact same setup I had before I started
It will take longer if you are backing up music, games and a lot of images too, but I have all my photos auto-upload to my G+ so I don't worry about backing those up, and my music is in the Play Music so I just thumbtack the ones I want to keep as i come acorss them again.

You need to update to the latest radio. Flash a 4.3 image with fastboot, then unlock, root, etc.
Sent from my Nexus 4

AND flash the latest Gapps: http://goo.im/gapps

if you are using lte, then you need one of the hybrid radios. if not, then the newest radio.

... too late to know all these and the Helium...
In the afternoon, I used titanium backup; and did a clean install of the cm10.2; same problem...no phone call; then I did a clean install of a old cm10.1; it works now!!!
when I am so excited to use titanium to recover my apps.... no backup file available... only .properties files in the folder.... zip files are missing.
I've lost all my app data and everything... until now, I am still trying to recover what I could remember...

[Q] Phone Errased after Lollipop Update

Hello there, i've looked up the forum but havent foung anyone with a similar problem, which I was hopping it was going to be general.
I updated my note 3 from kit kat to lollipop yesterday, which was working just fine after the update. But around 3 hours ago I could not get a signal from my carrier, even though everyone elses phone was working just fine. So i tried rebooting my phone and after it restarted 80% of my apps werent there. I have only a few apps now but most of my downloaded apps are simply not showing, although it looks like from the storage windows that my data was not erased. Even though they are not showing in the "downloaded apps"" section I would have way more free space if they were indeed deleted.
Even stock apps are broken. Like my goodle services are missing and a lot of those stock apps that come with your phone and you cant delete are not there. PLus all my contacts are lost, my messesges are gone, but I have all my photos. This is really weird.
Another informations is that Im currently not using an micro sd memory card, so All my stored information and apps were running on my 32gb memory within the note 3 itself.
Ill reply as soon as I can to any questions or useful information.
I have tried rebooting it a few times and looking up online to see if anyone else has had a similar problem. If anyone can help Ill be very gratefull.
Thank you all in advance !

more information
HI, another usefull information is that whenever i reboot my phone theres a black screen that says "android is upgrading.........starting apps" then after a few seconds it goes to my lock screen but still a lot of my data is missing.

Safe mode maybe?

This happened coz you didn't factory reset/Wipe data the phone when you installed Lollipop. Do it and your phone will boot normally.

Yeah better. Copy all your internal data to your pc (music, photos, contacts are linked to your google account). Factory reset your device (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything) and take a look how your device works.

Google Keep, Calendar and Reminders notifications not working on Android Oreo.

Hello guys,
I've noticed this issue this week. I'm not receiving any notifications from Google Calendar, Keep and Google Now reminders, and this is a pretty big problem for me, as I rely a lot on Calendars for my organization.
I formatted the phone after receiving the Oreo OTA and the phone is full stock.
Anyone know how to fix this issue?
Thanks!

Did you mean you did a factory reset from recovery instead of format? You have to be unlocked to fastboot format partitions... but it is the best way to wipe your phone if you are.
What is your build number under Settings>>About Phone (at the very bottom)? If you are indeed stock (including recovery), the only thing I can think of would be to first wipe the cache partition from recovery. If your build number ends with .017 then you can also sideload a full OTA of build .019, also from stock recovery. Options are limited unless you are unlocked and have a custom recovery. Note the process of unlocking the first time will factory reset your phone and wipe userdata, so make sure your stuff is backed up.

I just went into the recovery mode and did a data/cache wipe, like I always do after big updates.

When you go into Settings>>Users and Accounts>>Google>>Account Sync ... are there failed or hung syncs? Now do a manual sync and see if any hang. If you see old time stamps there and they won't refresh manually, you can REMOVE ACCOUNT and then ADD ACCOUNT. I would try this regardless. Are you bootloader locked?

There was no failed or hung syncs but I removed and added my account again anyway.
I'm afraid that this issue is bacause of the Doze feature. If I create a test event to notify in 5 minutes, it works, but I have to wait to see if it will notify my real events.
My bootloader is locked.

If what you suspect is correct, thousands of other users would be actively complaining of such a major issue, and not just N6P users.... every Nexus/Pixel phone running 8.0 already. That's a lot of phones. Doze works better than ever on 8.0 for 99.9% of regular users. Sometimes you just have to wipe the phone and start over from a clean slate. Unlocking your bootloader would allow you to use Google's purpose-based script and full image to restore your phone to a like-new state. That or you will have to live with it and wait until the next full OTA image is posted next month. I don't mean take the small incremental OTA, I mean sideload the full OTA image from Google's Dev site. They are about ~1 GB in size.

My phone is already on the last OTA and I wiped it twice, is it going to make a difference just trying again?
I found this post: https://productforums.google.com/fo...utm_source=footer#!topic/calendar/FzD9Y6ojci4
Theres a reply by Mikel Rodriguez that says:
"The cause of the calendar notifications failure is a change in the architecture of the calendar provider module. It is a content provider located at the application framework layer. Supposedly they changed the architecture of the module because it wasn't compatible with the doze feature of Marshmallow. So, all phones running Marshmallow or higher are fully affected by the failure. The only solution is to root, install titanium backup, make a backup of package com.android.providers.calendar, then uninstall it, then download and install the same package for version 5.1.1 (Lollipop). Because that version is not compatible with doze, it is necessary to remove it completely. Download "Boeffla Doze Control", open it and turn on "disable doze at start up" and "show toast message", then reboot, then open it again and check that doze status is off. That means that doze is not working. Calendar notifications will work again if you follow all the steps."
I don't know how much of this is true, but there's quite a lot of people with the same problem. Maybe there's some app that is conflicting with the notifications?

Taking a 40MB incremental OTA over the air and then doing a factory reset of your device is not the same as sideloading a 1GB full OTA image. Both of which you can do locked with stock recovery, but you can only sideload a newer build OTA (without some editing of the install script). If the full OTA image doesn't correct your problem, there is no further recourse but to unlock the phone and use the Google tool to restore your phone. As I said earlier a locked bootloader severely limits your options. I'm not suggesting you root the phone, I'm saying unlock it so that you are then able to properly format the partitions and install a full image.
I read the post and maybe that would work as a kludge. Sounds reasonable for a guy already rooted and has TiBu like me.... but would probably be overkill for someone like you starting with a locked bootloader. If you put that forward to prove that tons of people have the same issue, it fell short. I say live with it until the next OTA image is posted, DON'T take the over the air incremental and sideload that full OTA. Then if it doesn't work, unlock and flash a full image.

I'll wait for the next OTA then, and if it doesn't fix I'll try formatting and restore it with the Google tool you said.
By the way, I didn't received a incremental OTA. I live in Brazil, so the update arrived later here, I received it 2 weeks ago and was a 1GB download and I haven't received any security or incremental updates since that day.
I set an event and it'll remind me in 2 hours, I'll let my phone down and will not use it to see if the nofication will work, if it doesn't, I'll try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.github.quarck.calnotify&hl=en

Wow yes you are right, I have it turned on in photos just like you.
Like you when I go to backup it checks and reports off, then I find it off in photos and have to turn it back on?
I think it only turns off as a result of looking in settings as I have never found it off before?
BTW, how did you get SMS in your backup? I use an app for that, did not know you could get google to do it? I can't see where to turn it on though.

Google updated the Google Photos app and it's working now.
There is no settings in Android to enable backing up sms. Android just backs them up. But I believe more SMS Backup & Restore or Titanium Backup.

It's odd as I dont have the SMS backup you have in your video, I have all the other entries in backup just the last one missing (sms), I use SMS Backup & Restore

If you have Android 8 and May update then you should see SMS text messages in settings/system/backup.

Did you do factory reset after upgrading to Oreo? If not, this could be the problem. You can do factory reset now(backup all important files, factory reset will wipe your phone). I did it shortly after upgrading to Oreo and it solved some of my problems I had after upgrading.

Might be but I'm not so sure as I updated to Oreo the day it arrived, just updated to 8.1 and it's still the same.

@kudos1uk @freekarol
I was googling it a long time ago and found out that even google pixel users are complaining about SMS backup. SMS backup process is triggered only if the phone is fully charged and does not has any activities for about an hour or so. Therefore, if you will leave the phone connected to charger overnight, there will be a high chance that in the morning you will find out that SMS had been backed-up. However, there is a simple workaround to force backup all in once. You can enable USB debugging, connect phone to PC and type this in cmd shell:
Code:
adb shell
bmgr backupnow --all

Would you believe it, the 8.1 update wiped my SMS history, thank goodness for SMS backup and restore!

If anyone else experience SMS backup not showing in Backup likeme, just turn Backup off and turn it back on and SMS backup magically appears.

8.1 - lost data after update

I am 100% stock, did the update earlier and I now can't get any data (2g, 3g or 4g) wifi is fine but I just can't get any data.
I had data turned off during upgrade and after upgrade I noted it was turned on again, not sure what to do now.

Update, not only was my SMS history deleted by the update, my APN settings were also deleted, inputting them again sorted my data.

I also lost all my SMS messages ...

Did you use any 3rd party app for sms backup and restore? I lost my messages too. The only backup I have is 6 months old.

After update to 8.1, Jio Sim is not working on both the slots. Messages wiped out. In Android version it is showing a"prerelease".
Tell me something such that my Jio Sim starts functioning.

I lost my SMS messages and Developer options got disabled for some reason. Gcam is working fine and Bluetooth connection is working fine again.

I just updated to 8.1.0 and I lost nothing.
Also you might wanna change your title from "lost data" to "lost mobile connectivity".

I also lost all my msgs after 8.1 update. Is there any option or way to restore my recent msgs. I had also taken backup long time ago.

Lost all my SMS too!

Yes lucky for me I was using SMS backup and restore and my last auto backup was a week ago.

Did Xiaomi pull the Trigger? No update for me.

I can't not help you. Just can say I updated yesterday and I'm not experimenting any issue. However you may change the post tittle. My updated was as follows:
Previous:
Set magisk core mode -> Uninstall xposed SDK26 module -> Restore boot.img
Update:
Update -> Patch boot.img with magisk -> Reboot -> Everything fine
After update:
Enable magisk -> Reboot -> Bootloop -> Boot into TWRP and flash magisk uninstaller -> Reboot -> Everything fine -> Boot into TWRP and flash magisk -> Reboot -> Everything fine -> Install xposed SDK27 module and unified hosts adblock -> Reboot -> Everything fine till now
Goods founds after update to 8.1:
Camera lag using magisk solved -> Fixing module not needed anymore
GCam working without enabler module -> Module not needed anymore
Swipe FPS for notifications come back -> Find under settings, gestures
Native dark theme -> Substratum not needed anymore
Also found update is not available for everyone. My mothers one full stock system is not receiving. I attached images with my setup.
Hope my info is useful for someone.

Don't think you have much of an option.
The only thing you could check is to see if google is backing up your sms's
See here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/google-photos-backup-off-t3810065
Some A1's are backing up as part of Google's backup..... but....... you can't manually restore the backup, the only way would be to reset the phone and let it pull the SMS's down as part of the setup. Or maybe if you have a spare phone you could restore it with the A1's google backup, then use SMS Backup & Restore app to make a backup, then push the backup to the A1 (long winded but would work).
If your phone is backing up SMS's you would also need to check when the last backup was, if it has backed up since the update your backup might be replaced with what is on your phone..... ie nothing.
