Illuminated Buttons

I tried the last build and am curious as to if the lower capacitive illuminated buttons or whatever have been fixed? Prior they work sometimes but unreliable. I work in dark environments sometimes and it's nice to have them. Thanks!

do we install JB GApps by chance?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0xD34D:
The fix in 2.10.26.3 uses noise suppression for incoming and outgoing calls. The incoming call fix was the Phone.apk that was on goo.im that someone linked in this thread. That was an initial test since it was easy to locate where the noise suppression code should go for incoming calls.

I'm going to see about adding a button to toggle the noise suppression. This is going to be a bit more effort due to MIUI's closed source.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TimeMonkey:
are all of the SOD and RRB fixed in this rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackwing182:
yes they are :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sddurand:
I tried the 26.3 build and I'm still having the under water problem with call quality. Am I the only one? I can call myself and leave a test voice message with a TW 4.0.4 ROM and the VM sounds as you'd expect. Both 26 and 26.3 sound the same when I do the same test, like the noise canceling work around added isn't working... Adding the switch would be a good way to see its making a difference... I am willing to test if you need a guinea pig.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TubeSteak:
Unfortunately, I also still have underwater/robotic call quality. Testing with speakerphone sounds 10x better than through regular usage held to ear. That's always been the case, however. Just sharing in case some people haven't noticed the difference between them; it's night and day.

0xD34D - I'm on T-Mobile in the USA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackwing182:
i dont have issues , im from Puerto Rico, Using T mobile USA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
I'm on T-Mobile (USA - Carolinas) and also experience the garbled voice with 26.3. It's really more "robotic" in nature than under water.

I've also noticed with the last few builds that some apps force close when trying to browse a webpage from within the app itself. Google Now is the most glaring example. It's not that it force closes immediately. It force closes when you try to scroll through search results. I was able to successfully touch a link (without scrolling) and that worked, but as soon as you tried to scroll it crashed. This happened with several apps of that nature, but I can't remember all of them (I'm not using the ROM right now). One other one that I do remember is Carolina Panthers News (by McClatchy Newspapers). I also experienced crashes by Gmail. It was unusable. This is after fresh install, letting sit for more than 10 minutes after factory reset, cache and dalvik wipes, and system wipe.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0xD34D:
Perhaps those that claim it sounds good can chime in on this and provide some details about their kernel, radio, carrier and location. This is one of those issues I've been hearing mixed results about and it's difficult to isolate the culprit if I hear from some that it sounds great and others that it sounds garbled. Please provide as much info as possible and even include how you determined it sounded good or bad.

Also make sure to note whether you have a case or not. This may or may not matter but it's good to know more detail than not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casonswag:
Okay thats a good idea well this is my mixture i always use

Radio:LE1

Kernel:Stock

Case or No Case:No case

InCall:Sounds garble for other preson
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sddurand:
Have tried calling your yourself from your phone and leaving a message? Try that with both this ROM and a TW 4.0.4 ROM. Then listen to both messages. Can you hear a noticeable difference?... If your answer is still no what am I doing wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] puretone:
There's deffo something fishy about that. When my wife calls me, or I call her, in both scenarios call sound is crystal clear _ALWAYS_ . She's on the T989 and I am on the T999, both on T-Mo.

HOWEVER, she does report garbled sound when talking to her bff who's on Verizon, any number of landlines or 1-800 numbers, & of course some mobile numbers...it doesn't happen all the time though; when it does happen it is either during a call received or a call made. There seems to be no real consistency as to when it happens.

I wonder if there's any way to find out if it only happens on Edge/3G/HSPDA/HSPDA+ in particular with any sort of consistency. I can't tell...the phone seems to aggressively switch between network modes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MT4GH:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] how_weird:
Hhhmmm. No update in op. I will go back to sleep now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] droid75:
I tested the latest 11/02/12 build and voice quality still sounds underwater. Don't bother. Until that gets fixed, as promising as this rom is, it's useless. This is a phone first and foremost after all. Speakerphone sounds crystal clear but I don't want to speak on the speakerphone every time I need to make a phone call. I wish they could somehow reverse those two features. Frustrating. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sddurand:
I couldn't agree more. I can live with bugs... but I can't live with poor call quality. I use my phone for work calls.

Has anyone looked for a noise suppression switch? Earlier this week the dev mentioned adding a switch.

Please don't go and hijack a thread by linking to other ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0xD34D:
Here's what is frustrating, I've been given conflicting reports from people that claim it sounds good and those, like yourself, that claim it still sounds garbled. I've mentioned this before, but I will go ahead and mention it again as well, please provide as much information as possible regarding your situation. For example, please let us know what carrier you are on, what kernel (if not stock one provided in ROM), what radio and the country you are in. Is all this information need, maybe not, but the more you can provide the better chance there is at fixing the issues.

I for one have good sound quality, on T-Mobile USA using stock kernel and radio is T989UVLH1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] how_weird:
I'm told it still sounds like I'm in a tin can when using phone with update. Not giving up tho.

*UPDATE per 0XD34D request*

I am running the same as you 0xD34D, stock but i live in Arizona,USA. Thanks for all you are doing.

same as you, im in T-Mobile USA, Using he stock kernel and T989UVLH1, just wondering, if these peopple that still sount garbled, flashed another radio from another phone? then more information the better
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
Hey OP I havent tried your new Version but I sure will. I was one of the ones that always have underwater call quality, Even though when Eugene fixed it I still had it. I was on the T989UVLH1 radio and never changed kernel. I have tmobile and live in Dallas texas and an area with full bars and amazing speed. Since that old version I havent tried the newer one with fix, But I will. Although the underwater sound was coming and going. I remember I had to hung up and call again. and sound fine but then back to where it was.

Something I noticed though On every other roms based on stock 4.0.4 people hears an echo with a case and when I dont have the case people says that I sound iike robotic.

So I went back to stock all the way and sound is crystal clear and not even echo with a case.! I wonder why noise suppression works well on the stock and not on the others roms!

Just me thinking Why is it that this phone have so bad call quality on any rom? Like miui, sometimes cm9, cm10 aokp jb roms and other phones are good like on my sensation!

This is the only phone I had that I hear this problem call quality issues. I read some many threads about this. And all gives me different results on why is causing it. Some says its drivers that dev dont have, some say its hardware. So I know this have been through your head and all the devs. But What do you think it is? hardware or software? Is it hardware how can we fix it or if it software are they really drivers that devs dont have the samsung arent releasing? Is there a way to cancel the top microphone? by a software tweak or take it to ifix it to eliminate that mic? is that what causing the problem? By the way my internet is so slow. but will come with updates soon and by the way dude thanks a lot for your work and not giving up on this!

For the record I'm on T-Mobile network in South Florida running the UVLH1 radio. I only have the underwater sound problem on the MIUI roms, and as I stated speaker phone sounds absolutely clear.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hyelife:
I believe it has something to do with our phone having the MIC and Speaker placed too close to each other.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sddurand:
On Telstra in Australia

Fresh clean flash with no changes LH1 radio

Stock and CMX ROMs have clear call quality

Tested quality by leaving a VM and by using the MIUI call record feature... both had poor quality.

Flashed with TWRP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
OK, so I was running the new 11.2 update (clean install) with stock kernel with LH1 radio on T-Mobile from central North Carolina. My wife complained almost immediately that I sounded like I was underwater.

I then decided to install the king kangers 11a kernel for t989. When I called my wife after installing the kernel, she said I sound a little underwater but a lot better than before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
Thats what I read in so many threads and also the S3 seems to have the similar issue with call quality thats what I seen on their thread.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
I also notice that my themes are completely broken. For every single one it tells me that I don't have authorization to use the resource (or something like that). I'll try to backup and reformat my sd cards at some point, but that's a pain and most everything else is working okay (only other exception being scrolling gnow search results crashing).

If you look in the OP, it says it does come with the ROM. I tried a different JB Miui version and it still had it after specifically trying to fix that issue. Weirdly, I still don't have the issue on ICS

Has anyone tried the new version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] digband:
On 10.26.3 rom with KKangers kernel and UVLG3 note radio in US on T-Mobile and still garbled. Tried the tellus, and blaze radios also, still get complaints of being tinny/garbled/too quiet. About to update to 11.2 ROM and try again with various radios, will report.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ericqt:
the 11-2-1 out of the box with uvlg3 radio. tmobile. northside chicago. sound clear. more than 50 phone call no complaint yet.

2.11.2 Status

For those that care to know,

Xaiomi, the creators of MIUI, decided to implement a system for purchasing themes. This system uses MiCredits, which can only be purchased inside of China at the moment. The theme manager also started requiring a Xaiomi account in order to download themes. I am personally not for the account requirement, charging for some themes is not so bad since there are still plenty free ones. I decided to include the Theme Manager from last week. This has turned out to be a bit of a hassle since a lot of apps make calls to the theme manager. These include the alarm clock, settings for changing sounds, launcher for changing wallpaper just to name a few.

For the time being I would recommend sticking with or going back to 2.10.26. If there is interest in a build which uses the new theme manager, I can provide a build with it included.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] `SBR`:
That sucks. I loved MIUI because of the customization it has. if it's restricted then there is no point in using it..

I'm still using the 10-26 version.. so i can stop the MIUI newer version going forward.. till 0xD34D find a hack to it.:laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackwing182:
theres no way to hack it if it requires the miui accaunt, if it connects to the framework, mi home, systemui and almost every app there, it would be dificult to maintain it with old apps :( the xiaomi accaunt is very usefull, im using it since the beguining all my backups are there :).

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

i would like to see that build, even if i made other rom, i always stick with your miui builds, i only makes mine just to have something to do when im bored. but it would be nice :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] digband:

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

i think miui china fixed the roms cuz i see other miui version up in miui.com, it should say Miui 2.11.1 or something like that but now i see 2.11.5 , i hope themes gets fixed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shankar10:
I'm having problem with Facebook not.loading

Tried cache wipe and etc no help.

Anyone else have this issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] digband:
Update: flashed 11-2-1 dirty w cache and dalvik wipe, default kernel w uvlg3 radio was poor on both phone and Bluetooth, kkangers kernel was acceptable call quality on Bluetooth but very poor still on direct into phone... US T-Mobile. 0xD do you suggest a clean wipe, think it'll make a diff? Came from 10.26.3. Have a couple important calls I hafta make so I may need to flash something else, unfortunately... bummer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackwing182:
MIUI china released 2.11.5 hotfix that themes and all the remaning bugs :) i hope to see a build soon! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0xD34D:
They fixed bugs but still require you to sign up for a Xiaomi account in order to download themes. I'll be uploading a build shortly but keep in mind you will be required to sign up if you want to download themes and some themes will not be free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sddurand:
I gave 2.11.5 a try. The themes on my phone did not work as you mentioned above without creating an account. I also did the call quality test of leaving myself a voice message and then listened the the results. I was hoping for a miracle fix but had the same terrible quality.... I see the phone.apk is still on goo. Do I need to push this to each new build? Or does each built come with it already and it just isn't working quite right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
I'm not sure, but you may want to try a different kernel also. I've installed the new king kangers kernel and the call quality improved quite a bit. Its not perfect, but far more bearable than before IMHO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackwing182:
i know :) it would be like T mobile themes engine used by CM, it sucks now in MIUI cuz every one that uses miui was becouse of his free awesome themes :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0xD34D:
People who make themes put a lot of time into it, at least those that provide complete themes. I don't object to them being able to sell their themes if they choose to do so. My big issue is with being required to have a Xiaomi account. I understand that this is probably being done to track purchases of paid themes. I'm just a bit cautious when it comes to signing up with a company that does business in China. And since I discovered that the Theme Manager sends the device's IMEI along with queries, I'm even more cautious of signing up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ericqt:
do i have to sign up even i dont need the theme?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0xD34D:
No you do not. This only applies to using themes for the time being.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0xD34D:
Theme Manager without IMEI

In case you are like me and don't really want your device's IMEI being sent out as plain text in HTTP requests from Theme Manager, here is a modified APK which sends a randomly generated IMEI with each request.

http://goo.im/devs/0xD34D/ThemeManager.apk

You'll want to push this apk to /system/app and don't forget to mount /system as R/W first :p

So far I've been using it without any problems and I sniffed the packets being sent to verify it is indeed a random IMEI. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackwing182:
thats tits lol thanx xD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] leslieliang:
The themes stuff only applies to those who use themes, right? If I'm using the stock theme, I can upgrade to 11.5 right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ericqt:
yeah. you are good to go
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smokinjoe2122:
How has the call quality been for the 11/2 build? Anyone have a positive change from the previous build? Still rockin the ICS version, but I'd love to be on JB
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sddurand:
I haven't had any luck and I've tested each build that comes out. The KKO.12 kernel made a little difference but it still isn't usable for me. I need good as stock call quality because I use my phone for work... I think some are living with poor call quality when using the phone normally. Speaker phone has clear quality but you get all the background noise. I also think BT works normally.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DAD12345:
flashed last night awesome i really love your work

MIUI is the best overall rom in my opinion :highfive:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smokinjoe2122:
It would be if the phone function of the phone worked well ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
So 11.5.1 definitely fixes the scrolling crashes of Google Now. However, now not even an additional kernel improves the outbound call audio. I called my wife on a clean install and she said it was bad. I then install kingkangers 12 and called her again. She said it was no different.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackwing182:
i think we are looking in the wrong place for bad calls, i mean, these problems can be found in the audio, rils and kernel and not in the apps.but most of it is in libaudio libs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
So I'm sticking with it and happy to use Bluetooth (which I always do anyway). But then I find out that as soon as I configure Google voice it force closes. I use it instead of my carrier VM, so its not so usable now.

Voice works fine until you configure a Google account with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackwing182:
flash gapps and done
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galaxysm:
I wanna try this ROM but anything I should know? I have a t mobile t989 . I've read that there's no good call quality which I don't mind I don't make a lot of calls. I'm running xtremeperia. I won't brick or anything ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
I actually did that. I'll try is again with the new build. First time I had run into that, though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galaxysm:
Can I flash with twrp 2.3.1.1?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rahduke:
I've found the same thing, weirdly though google voice somehow incorporates into the built in MIUI messaging app, despite GV force closing I recieve google voice texts through the stock messaging app AND when I reply it is from my GV number. To date this is the only messaging app that has successfully incorporated my GV texts, only issue is I can't initiate a google voice text, its very weird. Calls through GV work fine, no issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] puretone:
Has anybody tried to isolate exactly where the issue lies? I'm pretty sure it is not as simple as swapping in known *working* rils/kernels/audiolibs into adapted-for-T989 ROMs is it? I'm real curious what's causing the whole issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
Is it simply a driver issue? Success has been had with ics call quality, but we also have ics source. We don't have an official jb release for our specific device yet. It can be patched up with band aids, but maybe no real cure until there's an official release?

Someone more knowledgeable please chime in (I'm no dev:o).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chad2108:
It is a routing issue with the dual mics. Mikeyman77 and Mr. X fixed this originally on cm but the fix never got merged into miui

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
Wow. Awful quiet in here:p.

So, I've checked goo manager several times today, but no update. I'm assuming there won't be one this week?

I'm a big fan of this ROM and can't seem to stay away. I hope the call quality bug is worked out across the board (as I know mileage has varied).
