[Q] Bugs and Questions for OMNIROM 4.4 Nightly

Hi,
I recently flashed my Samsung s3 i9300 and installed the Omnirom-4.4-20131112-i9300-NIGHTLY build.
I came across the following bugs. Some are already listed over the web , but thought still to list them together to see if they hav been fixed, or are in the process :-
1) Sometimes music doesnt play with headset. Have to remove the headset, play it once on speakers (duration doesnt matter, a milisecond would do too ), and then plug headsets back in, and it works.
2) When i lock or unlock a phone while music is playing, there is a sound (something like a thread or something got stuck for half a second and the music note got repeated).
3) com.android.(something).systemui crashes sometimes.
4) I couldn't find a default File Manager. I don't know if stock android has something like that or not. Just thought to bring it to Notice .
5) Cell Broadcasts with garbled messages.
6) My Cell (not battery. I removed the battery to see if it was hot, and it wasn't. Though, the lower part of the cell, where the Exynos Processor has started overheating a bit. Tasks performed while doing this :-
a) Downloads
b) Music Pkayback + Surfing
c) Games.
7) I want to know if the builds include an OTA update system or i need to flash my mobile again to install the latest nightly. Because nightlies have been released till December, but my mobile shows "Your system is up-to-date) in Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates
I checked and found that the latest nightly for 4th December has been released, has any( or all) of the bugs been fixed ?
I'll give out more bugs, as and when i get them
Thank you in advance!
PS : Great work people. First time i flashed my phone, and i really liked it

8) In Video Playback, i don't get any video. It's just audio. Also tried on custom app MX Player.

Audio randomly cutting out S7 edge

I am experiencing random cut outs of audio during media playback through the speaker. Bluetooth and headset working fine. Notifications and other sounds working fine. Mainly during video playback, streaming and video stored on device, the sound plays for a few seconds then cuts out. I didn't have this issue before the most recent OTA update. I have tried factory resets, rebooting, wiping cache, even custom roms. Does anyone else have this issue? What is the solution?

I have the same issue as you. GS7 Edge Verizon. I can't find any solutions out there yet :crying:

Same issue. The only thing that I can add is that when the speaker cuts out, if I switch to phone, make a call, and then put the call on speakerphone, then hang up, the problem is fixed for a few minutes.

Does anyone have a solution for this? Surely its a common issue. Unless my phone is on charge I can't use apps like spotify, listen to podcasts or radio unless I keep the screen on.

Any luck?

I have the issue on a sm-g930F. Samsung support just says i should send them my device but thats not my plan. I called them and sayed i want a update of the firmware but they refused me and just sayed i have to send it to them because they can not make a update without my device is seen. I really hope someone sends his device to them that we can get a new firmware . Iam on android 7.0 official samsung update but this bug is in 6.0 the same .
Anyways i need a soöution for this. Its a softwarebug i know, because nexus 6p users and nexus 5 users expirienced the same ****in error. Please help out.!!!

I was experiencing audio pause or stopping after an OTA upgrade to Nougat on my stock S7 Edge Duo (G935FD), when using Pocket Casts podcast app to play files stored locally on internal memory. This seemed to happen primarily when using wired headphones or bluetooth speaker, and some minutes after the phone screen turned off.
I tried wiping the app cache, reinstalling the app, wiping phone cache, full phone wipe, reinstall stock Nougat via ODIN, TWRP & rooting phone, disabling Samsung App Power Saving via Titanium Backup (com.samsung.android.sm / com.samsung.android.devicesecurity). Only when I booted into SAFE MODE did the problem go away. So I used TB to disable pretty much everything I could recognise as an app I had installed.
Eventually, after much tinkering I seem to have narrowed it down to some combination of Quick Connect, Google Chrome and Android System Webview. I have disabled QC and Chrome and I no longer have any audio issues. When I unfreeze/freeze Chrome or Android System Webview I get an audio issue as the app freezes/unfreezes.

I had same problem and ı thought this problem can be related to an app ı installed. And it was. When i uninstalled Sputnik news. My problem had gone. If u have it, uninstal. If u dont have, may be one of other app causes. Try uninstalling each app, and find the app causes this problem

Audio Crashing

I apologize if this ends up being long winded, I want to lay out all the details.
So I recently purchased (what I had believed to be) second hand Nexus 6P. It is in perfect physical condition however, no signs of ever being used. Battery is great, performance is great, speakers are great, camera amazing, and screen is perfect. However two odd things started to occur which I believe stems from the same issue. When hanging up phone calls the hanging up process would hang for a long while and either eventually hang up or the system would soft reboot. After reboot notifications are still set to priority only "call management", although it is easy to adjust and bring it out of that. However no audio/mic works at all (Play Music and YouTube give an error that they cannot play). No audio from speaker, or from headphone jack. I could however connect to a Bluetooth speaker and audio plays just fine. I then went to do a proper shutdown of the phone (using the power button menu), and when I manually booted it back up all audio works find again. I plug in headphones and start listening to music on Play Music. After a while however, playback fails and all the audio on the phone is once again dead...queue soft reboot. And repeat the whole process again. If I'm listening to headphones and I do anything to activate the microphone, audio crashes and go through the whole process again.
So I decided to make sure it was all up to date all the way to OTA 7.1.2. Once I did and I tested, the same issues above occurred over time. So then I thought maybe if I used Nexus Root Toolkit and did a full manual wipe and reinstall of 7.1.2 factory image from Google. Phone issue initially went away, but audio playback through headphones persisted and eventually the phone issue manifested itself again.
Today I decided that I do a full wipe again and try and install Pure Nexus 7.1.2, non rooted with BeanGapps and vender image (following the entire process here to a T.) I have not been able to replicate phone issues, however the audio playback and headphones issues are easily repeatable.
TL;DR - So this leaves me with a few things;
1. I can use the phone by never connecting it to external audio source perfectly fine, no problems at all.
2. Phones calls may sometimes get stuck at hanging up, and the result is a crashed audio system.
3. The only way to temporarily solve this issues is to shutdown via holding down lock button and Power-off using the menu that appears. And then manually starting the phone back up again.
So I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue. The fact that it persists between full wipes and reinstall of different roms makes me think it to be hardware. Although the temporarily fix of proper shutdown and manually start back up makes me think the OS/Kernal is somehow "clearing a buffer" or something in it's proper shutdown process. Which without doing leads to the audio system being completely down. Therefore on soft/dirty reboots the audio system is still down.
As an added bonus my sim card was a Micro SIM, before I opted to take the scissors to it instead of buying a nano sim. It works (so I thought), it just doesn't fit in the tray quite right. I tested recently with a proper nano sim from a different phone, and everything worked perfect. Then I swapped my franken sim back in and...it worked perfectly fine.
I did search for this issues in previous posts but all I could find was this. The issue (s)he describes is exactly the same issue as me, but his/her solution does not seemed to have worked. I am inclined to try doing a full wipe again and flashing completely stock older version though.
Any help, suggestions, etc are greatly appreciated. And thanks to the developers of Pure Nexus, it seems to be very polished and I'd love to use it daily driver.

Since you are having the issue after a clean install of stock and a clean install of Pure Nexus I don't see how it could be anything but a hardware issue. You could try to flash a custom kernel if you really think the kernel is an issue but I doubt that it will do much good. You could also try a clean flash of a different rom (I recommend Dirty Unicorns which is very smooth and stable) but again I doubt that it will do much good since you seem to have a hardware issue. You might have bad memory which is getting cleared when you reboot the phone.

I fear you may be correct. When you talk about bad memory, I don't want to misconstrud what your trying to say. Would there be a buffer for the DAC for example that is bad? Or do you mean the RAM or the flash memory itself?
It is very disappointing. This phone is perfect otherwise. I'd like another 6P, but I am concerned I then get one with battery issues.

Weird problems with nexus 6p

Hello.
My friend got a nexus 6p one year ago. One month ago he started to have problem. He was on stock rom
-First when he pressed the touch screen he heard small weird noises (hard to describe)
Then progressively :
-Speaker stopped working
-he could not play youtube video in you tube app : a weird error message (every time different) appeared. Gallery videos don't work as well
-But weirdly enough video played in the web browser including youtube videos, works, still without sound.
-He cannot make calls
-Jack plug doesn't works either, but he can use his Bluetooth headphones
We tried to install a custom rom (lineage os). We succeeded, but the above problem appeared again.
Then we flashed the factory image [url]https://developers.google.com/android/images[/URL] for nexus 6p. We also succeed but the above problem appeared again.
Thanks in advance for your help

The 6P has two speakers, and they wouldn't both fail at the same time. Sounds like he's damaged the phone somehow. The audio jack and speaker output both not working seem to back this up. I've seen the headphone jack part available separately, and there are guides available to replace it. Before flagging it as a hardware issue and opening the phone up, you want to make sure you wiped the phone completely by formatting the partitions (system, userdata, cache) and use the flash-all.bat included with the full Google image. There is a remote chance it is software related, but I doubt it.

You could always flash a custom kernel, use a kernel manager app to turn off the large core cpu and see if the problems go away. If they do its related to the build problem that causes the 6P to boot loop but those particular symptoms aren't familiar. It's still worth a try if flashing the stock image doesn't fix the problem.

You mean disabling the big CPU ?

Yes. You can always turn it back on but turning it off apparently fixes the permanent boot loop problem on the Nexus 6P. If the problems you are describing are related to the same build problem then turning it off might make them go away. Sometimes people's phones would start acting odd before going into the permanent bootloop. That phone could be on its way there.

this is purely a guess but the problem may be hardware related with the headphone jack. it could have a physical short somewhere. if thats the case the device may think a headphone jack is being used and wont play through speakers because its being told its plugged in. But wont play because of some physical short or an open.

Update losses media control

Hi did anyone else loose the ability to control Samsung Music and SoundCloud after the update? I can see Spotify and Power Amp though.

I did. I'm running Android 7.0 and my watch is a Verizon Wear24. Since the update, running the stock player on my phone does not trigger media controls on the watch anymore. This worked perfectly before, and is 80% of what I use the watch for. Everything else seems to work as usual.

Yes, I have the same problem . I just updated to version Wear OS 2.0 and there is no media control for Samsung S9+ (using Samsung Music).

Thanks at least I know it's not an issue with my phone! Really didn't want to do a factory reset.

You don't see the media section below the other options when you swipe down ?

Anyone found a fix for this?
