How do i get off the beta? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

I am currently on the newest beta 7.0, however I am experiencing echoed audio quality through Bluetooth in my car after I updated. I spend a lot of time driving an listening so this echo is driving me insane. So i de-registered from the beta, however how do I now roll back to marshmallow? I have tried factory resetting, and also manually checking for system update and no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

You will have to download and install smart switch on your PC. Once connected it will downgrade you to marshmallow or you can use odin to install the current marshmallow firmware

I'm on the beta too and use BT audio in my car as well without a problem, so you might want to investigate if something else could be causing the problem. Have you tried clearing the cache in recovery?

Just so you know, if you download Smart Switch and revert back to the last update (not Nougat) all of your info will be erased. I hopped off the Beta and thought it would simply revert me back to pre-nougat and it completely wiped everything and I never did a backup. So if you go back, make a backup if you can.

All i use is odin no need for smart switch
Sent from my SM-G935P using XDA Free mobile app

As the others said. You will have to use smart switch to back up, download the stock sprint ROM, then load up Odin and flash the 6.0.1 stuff again. I was having the same issue. Try going into settings for sounds and turn on and off the concert hall setting and see if that helps. Also, even though you de register, my phone still downloaded the same PLN 7.0 beta 5 all over again and tried to install it all over....It's like your phone is always going to be a beta tester.

I did a full wipe of the phone while on the beta, and even on a brand new installation of 7.0 it was doing the same thing. once I got off the beta though and did the smartswitch back to marshmallow the Bluetooth issue cleared up.

Speaker, WiFi and Bluetooth not working

Please I need your help guys.
My OnePlus2 recently started behaving weird. The Bluetooth, WiFi and External speaker just stopped working for no apparent reason. Every other thing is working. 3G works just fine. I am able to make calls through the normal speaker (i.e. by putting the phone to the ear), but if I decide to switch the calls to the loudspeaker, I can't hear anything. Also, if I play music to the external speaker I can't hear anything unless I connect a wired earphone through the jack. When I try to turn ON the Bluetooth and Wifi, they just turn themselves back OFF, so they have become useless.
Please has anyone experienced anything like these before; if yes, please how did you solve it.

Not too sure about the External Speaker issue, but generally whenever I get Bluetooth and WiFi issues exactly like yours in the past - a reset solved the problem.
But I only ever had issues like that if I'm using a Custom ROM.....
Is your 1+2 using OxygenOS by any chance?

Thank you for your help.
What I mean by the External Speaker is the speaker at the bottom of the phone next to the charging port that enable you listen to the audio, either call or music, without putting the phone to your ear.
Yes, I am on the stock Oxygen 2.1.0. I have also restarted and wipe data and cache more than five times but nothing different has happened so far.
Ahh so the loudspeaker is faulty? The loudspeaker and the wireless module are quite separate hardware, so we've got to hope that it's a software fault - rather than both multiple prices of hardware being faulty.
At this stage do a nandroid backup, then Clean Install OxygenOS 2.2.0. If that doesn't solve the issue, just let us know. (If you need specific instructions on how to do the nandroid backup & clean install, just let us know as well).

I did a nandroid backup as advised and I downloaded and clean install the Oxygen 2.2.0.
The situation didn't change. Its as if the modules are just not present.
For example, when I try to activate the WiFi or Bluetooth, they are animate as if to turn ON; but after a couple of minutes it simply turn back OFF and grey-out.
I even installed the unofficial CM 13 hoping this might solve the problem, but it remains the same.
Do you think this may in any way be connected with the kernel?

Hmm no it shouldn't since you clean installed OOS (that should have flashed the stock kernel too).
Give it a try anyway, try flashing @Lord Boeffla kernel for OOS http://www.boeffla-kernel.de/
Just make sure you download the .md5 as well (ensure the download isn't corrupted).
If that fails, try the stock kernel as well http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/oneplus2/stock-kernel/.
If the above doesn't happen, can you do this check for me?
Shake the phone, tap the phone on a desk (aim around the sim card area), be gentle though, all we need is to ascertain if the signal flex cable is loose.....
Once you shaked and tapped the phone, check if the wifi/bluetooth is working? (if not, give it a reset and try again).....

For your speakerphone issue, I can bet it is related to the modem/ radio.
Please update to the latest modem/ radio (via fastboot) for your device.
Then test calling again and report back.
Note that this issue and solution is not specific to Oneplus. It is applicable to CM 13 on all devices across manufacturers.
Hit the 'Thanks' button if this solution works for you.

Hi Isadeiza, try this modem first (its the 'modem' for MM which might solve the issue finally). https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24415232478675280.
Also try dirty flashing it first, if that doesn't work... Take nandroid then Clean flashing it.
What OxygenOS are you in now btw? As of right now we're up to 2.2.1....

Hi guys, thank you all for your support.
After a long time, my experience are as below.
After upgrading to OxygenOS 3.0, the behavior of the phone did not change. No sound from loudspeaker, no Bluetooth and no WiFi.
Well I stopped using it until my other phone started heating up so I came back to the OnePlus Two again. One day, I was surprised when the phone started ringing loudly as someone called my line. It worked for about 3 - 4 hours and stopped again. After about 5 days, it came up again for some 4 hours and stopped working again. It does this for over 6 cycles and about 3 days ago it kept working without stopping since.
So I am still observing it for the past three days and it seems to have repented, holding my hopes up high that it will continue to work without hitches again; though I cannot say now what happened, why it stopped working and why it started working now.
The problem of the Bluetooth and WiFi still persist and I still can't use the BT and WiFi. It just behave as if the modules are not present. My fingers crossed expecting them to "miraculously" come back to functional state just as the loudspeaker did on its own.
Thank you all guys for your support.

[HELP] Samsung S5 [SM-G900M] Sound issues after latest Marshamallow 6.0.1 update

Hi!
After the latest Marshmallow Update 6.0.1 I'm facing some sound related problems. My phone doesn't recognize the headphone/earphones when connected.
During calls, when I plug the conector, the icon of headphone doesn't appear in the upper side and the sound still being release from speakers.
After some google research, several users of several phone brands reported the same issue. I installed SoundAbout app to test and worked fine, except for the calls.
I'm using official stock ROM and tried to several reboots, wipe cache, factory reset and nothing happened.
Could someone please help me?
Thanks and regards!
And the saga continues...
UPDATE:
- Rolled back to firmware 5.0 and the issue continues.
- Forced new update through OTA, issue still happening.
I have a guess that this new firmware update changed the headphone/earphone hardware driver, so even with several actions the problem wasn't fixed.

Hey guys... Any news?
Even in safe mode, Android doesnt recognize the earphone/headphone connected...
I downgraded version, updated through OTA... updated all security patches and nothing...
Your hardware is probably broken, you should try replacing connector in the phone,
I've had similar issues. headphones work but the wired remote controls don't and the sound is like its under water. Music is all messed up like it's being really heavily processed. through the speaker it's fine. Calls and music are all the same through headphones. Tried different headphones!
Stock Marshmallow firmware, tried re-flash and factory default.

I tested with different earphones/headphones... and the same problem happened. At first, I thought it could be an hardware problem... but with SoundAbout I could use the phones to listen music... now the problem is only with the mic.
Change the audio connector is not an option, since its too risky opening the board and it will make me lose the "water protection" not talking about the costs...
I'm still thinking it's a software problem, Today I'll try to perform a clean re-flash the marshmallow firmware factory dfault and see what happens...

Contacts not syncing via bluetooth to car now on 7.1.1

Just updated to 7.1.1 from 7.0 where all was well with the car (BMW 530 - E60), but now I have no contacts viewable from the car.
I've tried deleting the phone and repairing but still the problem persists, I can't see any contacts anymore on 7.1.1
Anybody have any idea how to fix?
Thanks in advance
Paul
my bluetooth isn't working with my 2011 GMC now that I've flashed 7.1.1 It connects for a second or two, then disconnects. This was an issue on the Pixel, but now its fixed on 7.1.1 not sure why 6P got screwed up
Google makes me mad
Bluetooth connects no problems in 7.0 to my 2011 Chev Cruze. Update to 7.1.1, drops every second. Flash factory image of 7.1.1 in hope that it might have been an OTA issue, and no luck. Flash 7.0 factory image, and bluetooth works and stays connected with my car. But after downgrading I lost the ability to restore all my apps and data, just had the Gapps. There wasn't an option to restore the info from my 6P previous to factory imaging it.. So now I have to manually search the apps out and reinstall them.
I just don't understand how Google keeps screwing this up. I'm grateful to have a Nexus and I can rescue myself, but it would be a piss off if I was not aware of how to get myself back to a place when the phone actually WORKED. It's just nonsense.

No Audio After Flashing Stock ROM

My PH-1 worked just fine. I did use it for about two months with the official Oreo-beta build. Now, before selling it, I flashed the latest Nougat-build, went through the setup process and installed the latest update. I missed checking for the audio. Now, it seems the audio in calls does not work at all. The caller can not hear the participant and vice versa.
Any suggestions?
/* solution: (thank you WickedDaemon)
Download and flash older NMJ32F Firmware and update from there.

Thanks for your reply.
But that is exactly what I did. Nougat = latest stock from https://www.essential.com/developer/current-builds
What u mean i missed checking the audio?
I missed checking if calls work. Now you can call or accept a call, but audio won't work. You don't hear the participant and he doesn't hear you.
Same boat here. Flashed with Essential Stock ROM, and everything seemed fine until someone called me. Anyway, I've been banging on this for a couple days. A few things I've tried:
- Tried the VoIP application for my job. No joy..
- Uninstalled/reinstalled Phone app. No joy.
- Installed some other Phone app from Play. No joy.
- Hangouts Dialer seemed to work for a second, but has all sorts of other issues. No joy.
- Reset all data, restored from Google. No joy.
- Reset all data, setup as new phone. No joy.
- Disable OK Google. No joy.
A new clue; the baby monitor app errors out with something about the microphone being in use. But I'm having trouble figuring out which one is locking the mic. Anyone have a trick for this?

It could be a setting in the mobile network for better audio during calls or something like that. Disable that and it will work fine. Happened to me when I went back to stock once.

Are you referring to 'Enhanced 4G LTE Mode'? I just disabled that and tested. No joy.
Side note: After many reboots, reinstalls, and general button pushing, my VoIP app now has sound but still no mic. I removed Microphone permissions on almost everything and started adding them back one by one. Still no joy.
I think something changed within the firmware during the 8 upgrade, then didn't get reverted back during the 7 downgrade. Is there a particular image or partition that needs to be flashed again?

All I do when I switch back and forth is always fastboot -w before I flash and after I flash. May be overkill, but it always works

jetAudio issues since Oreo update

Hello everybody!
Not quite sure if it fits here... If it doesn't, please move it to the correct forum.
I tried to upgrade to Oreo from a rooted phone, it got softbricked and I somehow made it work again. I'm now on OOS 5.1.3, unrooted. Ever since my phone worked again, I experience issues with jetAudio.
No matter what file I play, I hear occasional crackling and interruptions, sometimes only on one channel, sometimes on both. I didn't experience the audio issues with any other audio playing app. Clearing cache or reinstalling didn't help. I somehow get the feeling Oreo messed with permissions or something.
Any idea how I can make the app work again? Would it help to reset the device? Thanks for reading!
