Issues with speakerphone - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running the latest stock rom, and am rooted, my phone ringer works nice and loud, however, when I try to use the speakerphone during a phone call it is next to impossible to hear. All of my volumes are at max, and no Bluetooth devices are attached. I am at a loss. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Yeah I have the same problem, however, if you flash ElementalX Kernal you have Speaker Gain options in the EX kernel manager, that can boost it up. Seems to be great for me!
Edit: Yeah I see the typo.

Once I upgraded to the new PN updated ROM it works perfectly again.

Faux123 kernel affecting wireless charging?

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows a setting in the latest kernel (008-tbm) that affects wireless charging. I am on stock ROM with only this kernel installed. Wireless charging worked fine until I installed this kernel, so I know something is goofed up with my kernel settings. I'm UV -12.5 mV global

he doesnt have enough posts to post in the development sections.
Thank you for clearing that up for him. I hate posting stuff because everyone has to be an @$$ about helping out. If you don't want to help just move on, I don't want to hear how stupid I am just what I can do that I haven't thought of. Thanks

try raising your voltages, undervolting can have create such issues. every device is different in what it likes and dislikes.
OK thanks for the help guys. I'll try that right away. Right now it'll show as charging for about five minutes and then for some reason will stop.

OK I tried that and it didn't work, I'm using the intellidemand governor and all of the rest of faux123's recommended settings. My CPU bin is nominal if that helps any.

Why do you even care? It mean that much to you?
Posts like yours are more annoying than the original threads.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
you should try a different kernel, just to make sure. it takes seconds to flash a kernel, so that shouldnt be an issue. if it works fine with another kernel, then the issue is the kernel. if the same issue persists, then its your rom or device.

Yeah I'm on faux's kernel as well with no wireless charging problems. There's a good chance that it might be stopping because your battery is getting too hot. Do you have daydream enabled? Does your phone feel hot when charging?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah I just got it working for about 30 minutes and my phone is super hot. It's never been this hot before so I'm gonna try a new kernel and see what happens like someone said earlier to narrow it down if it's the kernel for sure
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
What charger are you using? Some do not work well with the N4.
I have used several different kernels and none have affected the wireless charging. My phone gets up to 41°C while charging wirelessly so getting hot is not unusual.
I'm using the official nexus charging orb from Google play. I just flashed a new kernel and wireless charging seems to be back working. I'm gonna give it another hour just to make sure before I make any assumptions

One weird thing I did notice though is that on faux kernel I could not UV past -50mV without my phone rebooting, making my lowest clock of 384Mhz at 850mV. However I'm on harsh kernel right now and it shows that my lowest clock is at 800mV stock without any adjustments and is working fine. Would that make any sense? I know the governors could possibly be more or less harsh on the battery but shouldn't the failure value resulting in rebooting be the same no matter what governor or kernel you use? I'm by no means an expert as to why I'm asking

Is not unheard of to not be stable at the same voltages with different kernels. Also if you were using one of the kernels with turbo boost your chip may have needed a higher voltage for the higher frequencies. Or not, I don't know lol.
Glad your charger is working now. I like Harshes kernel.

Kernel refer

Can you refer me to a kernel that's out of the box ready to go? To be honest I am pleased with the stock kernel, which i am using, but I want a mod to make the in ear headset volume louder and supposedly I can't do that on stock kernel. So I need something close.
When I look through faux and Franco threads I get overwhelmed with all the settings and interfaces talked about.
Another thing is I like stock Google colors, not the darker ones a lot of the devs have been updating to.
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Go with Faux To the best of my knowledge if you flash Faux's kernel you retain stock Google color presets until you choose to tweak them via Faux's kernel management apps (you can also revert to Google presets via his app after experimenting with colors yourself). He does have an enhanced stock kernel if you want to keep as close to stock as possible.
As for volume or speaker settings he's got you covered there as well--check out his apps on GPlay. You don't have to feel overwhelmed because he does provide you with "recommended" settings on the various sliders & knobs within the app interface. And the enhanced performance & battery life you'll get is just gravy. Good luck!

With either Franco or Faux's kernel, no need to be overwhelmed by all the settings. They work just fine using the default settings out-of-the-box, and you can just change the settings that interest you.
Use Franco kernel. It's been amazing so far. Everyone is impressed with battery life and all. You don't need to mess with the settings. Just run as is.

Annoying sound

Hi,
Since a few days my phone is making a annoying noise while playing music or watching a video. It kinda sounds like a little fracture in a cable or when you keep your phone close to a speaker or old television, but then for 0.5 second. It also happens irregularly and also happens when using headphones. I'm using Viper xHifi, but it doesn't make a difference when it's turned off. Does anyone know what it is and how to solve it?
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
When it started, did something happen? Like .. did you drop your phone? or ... maybe just installed a new application? .. maybe changed the kernel settings?
Also, which ROM/kernel are you using?
I have been having this exact same issue on my nexus 4 and nexus 5... Both phones are rooted, stock rom, and on the latest version of Franco kernel. I have been looking all over for a solution but nothing yet...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I'm currently using psx kit Kat, it started suddenly. I haven't recently installed an app that possibly could have any influence on the sound. I think I've had it earlier and flashing a new rom fixed it, but I currently don't want to switch roms and I think it's strange that it happens so sudden.

I switched from franco to hellscore and it got a little better... Now it only seems to happen in YouTube. Will keep trying different kernels and keep you posted

Only happened to me once using Poweramp with headphones. Never happened in Google music or via Bluetooth/speaker.

I've got a bluetooth speaker for a few days now and with that one I don't hear that sound. But it still happens with my phone speaker and headphones, regardless of which app.

Maybe it has something to do with the music buffer size? I don't know how to increase it but a hiccup like this sounds like the buffer might be set too small and it's this split part of a second sometimes it takes to reload the next piece of music into the buffer?

In Poweramp go to settings/audio and search for the audio buffer setting and set it to highest. See if this helps.

OK, was worth a try. Poweramp is weird in some things anyway. For me, v4a doesn't work with Poweramp when using headphones. Only on speaker and Bluetooth.

About your issue. I have been using viper audio and had similar problem. The only thing that solves the problem was exchanging one file. I don't remember the name of that file but I'll try to find it for you.
On slimkat thread someone write that deletin dsp manager should resolve my issue. I will report later if it worked.

Same thing happens when playing music with poweramp through a headphone jack. It's kind of like a 1 second screeching or something, quite annoying.

No changes. Glitches.....going back to hells core due to better battery life.

I don't use PA or spotify anymore, wimp was the solution for me....I pay the same amount of money as for spotify and I have no scretching and have free data transfer for wimp in my carrier plan...
same problem here on simple aosp + franco. went to cm with no sound problems but apps fc all the time! hope we find a solution soon

Lightflow issues

I am running Pure Nexus with the ElementalX kernal and have the paid version of light flow but I can't get the led to flash. I had it working before, but I changed roms and then came back to the Pure Nexus rom and now I can't get it working again. I have tried following the setup guide for lightflow but I must be missing something. Is anyone else using lightflow with the Purenexus rom? If so, what settings did you use?
Thanks
Why don't you just use the built in LED settings that PN includes?

I never got Lightflow to work right (6.0.1 stock, rooted) so I ended up switching to Light Manager.

Not related to the HTC but my coworker just purchased an S7 and he had problems sending MMS on Verizon . Turned out to be a faulty sim card.

I even changed the megapixels to the lowest setting and was able to send it via mms. But with my Nexus 6p my camera is on the highest megapixel and was able to still send mms. Not sure what the deal is with my HTC 10 not able to send pics at the highest pixel.

Do you have mobile data turned on? On my Verizon 10 I have to turn off wifi and turn on mobile in order to send or receive pics.

Well if you didn't wipe coming from viper that could be it. Their messaging app might be based off a different carrier that supports higher than 1.2megs.

This is what I have to do as well, which is BS, because why should I have to pay for/use data when I have a perfectly fine WIFI connection? BTW, it only happens to me with the Verizon messages app, but I prefer that app, so it needs to be fixed.
