Hi, I'm currently using the Codename Android rom by 0.0 with the grapefruit kernel. Love this rom and I really believe the developers on this site are effin geniuses (it blows my mind the way you guys can develop these sorts of things. Thank Bob for technology). Anyway, I saw that a few issues I have are being worked on and the grapefruit kernel solved my WiFi issue and lowmic zip fixed the obvious.
Currently, the problems I am having are as follows:
I can't use speaker during phonecalls and I noticed that when I unclick speaker, I can still hear the person I'm talking to, but they can't hear me (unselecting speaker seems to permanently mute the mic for the duration of the call. The mic works fine as long as long as the speaker isn't selected).
The Netflix app crashes immediately, the Hulu app will not play videos because it'a missing DRM support, and a few apps like the piano app I use (easypiano two touch) crashes once I press on a key. There's also apps that have terrible display quality like The Sims and Office Jerk. Does the fact that flash player's not supported in Android versions beyond 4.0 have anything to do with any of these issues?
Lastly, mms won't send (it'll look like it's sending, but never succeeds) and trackpad won't wake up cell (But I think I read that that's not so much an issue as it is just not an option).
BTW, anyone know of a great + free voice recorder, FM radio, and car dock app? (2.2 had them, but this rom doesn't). Thanks in advanced. I hope the more I learn the less questions I'll have.
Today I tried to use Google Talk and Google+ to video chat with a few different friends. The video was fine, but I could barely hear them at all. They could hear me fine, except my friend who also has a Nexus 4. I had the volume all the way up of course and it was pushing through the speakerphone speaker. I finally couldn't stand it anymore and tried Skype and the volume was just fine. So it seems to be only Google applications.
I did some research online and it looks like a lot of people have had similar issues but they're always on forums for a specific phone, so everyone thinks it's just their device.
Has anyone had the same issues with their Nexus 4 or a different device?
I have this too. Even with earphones in I can't hear the other person.
Hope they fix it.

Hello,
Did someone can help me with this strange issue. Sometimes (randomly) when I record video with my Note 4 - there is no sound recorded.
I made some test and I'm 99% sure that this is related with Gear 2 which I'm using with Note 4 - and its connected via bluetooth.
Also I use my car which always connect to my phone in mic mode (I can call and answer from phone without touching it).
So when I noticed audio did not record, I record another one - of course no sound too - disconnected gear 2 (turn off bluetooth), record another video and this time sound was there!
How can I force video recorder to always use note 4 mic and not gear 2 or car (I dont know if this is an issue for sure) .. I guess thats why I cannot record video with audio from time to time.
It happend to me 2 times already and it was some important movies with my small kid ... :/
Its so frustrating - I give a shot to Android and Note 4 , came from Iphone 6 (which wait for me in shelf in case of emernecy) and all was perfect until this video audio problems. Its both samsung products and for me it looks like even they cannot sort it out properly.
I'm on stock lollipop 5.0.1, no root, no custom launchers. Hope guys you can help me find answer to this I really wanted stay on Android.

Hello, I have a major issue with my note 4 where the microphone sound is very very quiet when trying to voice call on skype, messenger, voice recording app thats built in the phone, absolutely anything that does voice only, but as soon as i do video, video call, snapchat video, video camera, etc its loud. I have looked online and many tell me to go into the secret menu but none of the codes work so I have drawn a blank.
If anyone has the solution to increase the microphone volume just as its default state without needing to be on video it would be very appreciated. Ive tried many of the secret menus just cant find anything that has the specific one I need. (Ive looked everywhere online yet to no avail)
Thank you
same issue since first month u just have to clean the two little holes near the charger

Yep they get filled with dust and dirt. Just use a nidle but dont push to hard:good:
I normally have my phone paired to my helmet with a Sena S20. I can normally issue voice commands, play music, take calls, etc...
Not anymore. On beta 3, it will only let me play music if I physically press play on the phone, which I can't do as I ride down the road with it in my jacked pocket.
The pause and fast forward buttons, don't work. If I enable Google now, I can tell it to pause music, and it will. If I tell it to play music, it won't. If I tell it to play music without the headset, it offers to play it but I have to click on the screen on the app.
Basically, Google now isn't doing most of the things it used to on other phones. And it doesn't let my bt device control the music like it should.
I just paired the headset to my wife's iPhone and it works perfectly.
It used to work on my essential, my op5t, pixel2 xl and op3. No longer works with the essential and I just did a clean reset last week.
Stock, no root. No mods.
Any ideas? I am trying so hard to love this phone but this and other bugs are making it really hard.

Update to latest Google now. Older version did exactly what you said.

It says its on the latest version. I don't see anything newer in the play store?
SOmehow I got the controls on the headset to work last night on the ride home. Not sure why it was messing up but it now appears to be watching. It might be some sort of conflict with my Android Wear watch. Maybe only one device can control audio at a time? I dunno...
But this Google Now/Assistant problem happens with both Android Auto, and when my phone is just sitting on my desk not connected to anything.
Normally I tell it "Play Music", and it just shuffles the 500 or so songs that are downloaded as MP3's onto the phone, and it plays them through Google Play Music... If I tell it "Play Bruno Mars" it just automatically plays all the Bruno Mars songs... Same with Android Auto.
Now when I tell it those commands, it just brings up the google play music app and I have to then push buttons and play what I want. It's all manual, which defeats the entire purpose of "hands free"... When on Android Auto and I give the same command, it will try to play something from the cloud rather than what I have on the device, but it never does, it just sits there spinning...
I don't like Samsung or any of the devices with curved edge displays... the Pixel2 XL is great but the screens from LG are crap. The OP5T is brilliant, but doesn't get VoLTE on AT&T, so no HD Calling or voice and data on LTE at the same time... The Essential is solid hardware wise, but plagued with it's own bugs and now apparently this Android bug... If I can't get a damned flagship Android phone that I like, that actually works properly... I might have to go back to an iPhone... I can't keep dropping hundreds of dollars on phones for them to "sorta work" or or lack key features...
What can I do to solve this issue, if its saying that I am on the latest version already?
What I am finding is that this is a problem going back to October? Google changed Assistant, so that you can no longer use voice commands to play local music on your device hands free, unless you pay for a subscription?
So, not an essential bug, it's a Google Assistant thing where they now want you to pay $10 a month to be able to use voice commands to listen to the music that you already own. What BS is that?
Google, soon to be out Appling Apple... LOL
