Hey [MENTION=5098295]markbencze[/MENTION], thanks for getting back!

Don't be such a stranger, we have Note 2s not leprosy. ;)

Here is a screen shot of the pull down menu and status bar.

Also threw in my home screen for kicks.

I tried to take that battery out of my girlfriend's n4. Only to find out it didn't have a removable battery.

Google trying to imitate the iPhone?

Between that and the lack of an sd card slot nexus sucks

I've been running jedi master for 4 or 5 builds so far and the one problem I have is my phone will randomly shut off and require a battery pull to get it started again. Today it did it on an important call. Any ideas how to fix? I run min 100hz, but since it did it on a call, I'm guessing that's not the problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] J_Whit85:
Try turning off the auto screen off function under call settings
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] robl45:
It doesn't just do it on calls though, most times were not on a call, only once today did it do it on a call
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Sounds like you are experiencing a SOD. This will happen from time to time when you start tweaking the kernel to maximize performance and battery life. If it happens often it is an indication your settings may be too aggressive for the hardware of your phone (each phone is slightly unique in its build quality).

You can go into Trickster MOD and tweak your settings to be less aggressive.

If you have under clocked any settings, or over clocked, then return those settings to default.

You can try a different governor as well. JM comes stock with pegasusq, you can try zzmove. Or if you have already changed it, maybe change it back to pegasusq.

Good luck!

The only thing I changed was turning on 100hz. Everything else is default.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
How often does it happen?

If more than once a day, and that's A LOT, I hate hearing this option, but you could try a Clean flash of the ROM and kernel.

I'm getting a little out of my realm here, though, so someone with a little more experience might need to weigh in on other options.

You didn't, by chance, install both the 4.2 camera and the 4.3 Camera in the Aroma installer, did you? Just taking a shot in the dark here.

Oh, and of course try turning off 100hz.

maybe like once every 2 days but it varies. It could run for 5 days and then do it. I figured it was building up on memory so I tried task killers and things like that, but its been doing it still through the builds. I did turn off 100 mhz last night and I uninstalled the task killer memory managers. I have the samsung camera and the 4.3 camera I think it is.

I think he's using xblast module. That's why it's overlapping I think. Could be wrong.

The xblast module will let you add custom text exactly where it says tmobile on the pull down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dublus:
I noticed something lately that I hadn't noticed before.

It seems that the wifi connection drops shortly after turning the screen off. I guess this is done to save power and might even be a setting I don't know about. The problem is that when that happens, of course, it takes wifi calling down with it. Is there a setting to change that behavior?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Settings/wifi then hit menu button. You will see

Keep wifi on during sleep. This will definitely fix your issue. Hit that Thanks button
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ash359:
I would switch it back to 200

Honestly the voltage difference is so small I don't see much difference.

I got sod all the time too, now I leave frequencies stock.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
You think wrong. It was happening before I downloaded xblast. It was THE reason I downloaded xblast.

Unfortunately xblast didn't help so I disabled it.

Edit:

This may have occurred after Flashing the XHalo mod. Not sure though. It definitely wasn't this way right after I flashed JM18, I will admit that.

So something I installed subsequent to Flashing JM18 has caused this. I'm just curious if there is a way to remedy it. Not a massive deal, but I don't like the Deviant Development name being sacrileged in this way by the T-Mobile name.

A SOD

every 5 days or so isn't too bad. Every 2 days and we're talking inconvenience.

See how changing the voltage back to stock and removing the task killers helps.

Samsung Camera and 4.3 Camera are fine, although you might have problems if you try to use the Samsung Gallery App. I personally like the 4.3 Gallery app better anyway. I think the Samsung Camera is snappier with focusing and taking pictures and I use it for action shots. The 4.3 Camera is nice when I have a still shot to take.

Yes, installing both 4.2 and 4.3 cameras causes conflicts and crashes. If I were you I would DEFINITELY dirty flash and select one or the other.

Remember, Samsung Camera and 4.3 Camera are fine together. The conflict is with 4.2 and 4 3 camera installed at same time.

Cheers!

It's definitely a framework module of some kind cause the pull down to look like that. Thanks for the honesty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Yeah, never intended for it to sound like this was a Jedi Issue, specifically. Was just hoping this was a common issue that someone could easily tell me how to fix. Oh well, sounds like hope for the easy part is dashed upon the rocks of disappointment.

But, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know (outside of a Clean Flash of Jedi Master, of course, it ain't that big of a deal.).

Does anyone use Hangouts to make video conference calls?

A few months ago I was able to make video calls without any problem but now if I try it starts up but freezes before connecting to the person I'm trying to call. I don't know when this might have started because I didn't try to use it for a while.

I don't know if it could be ROM related or what so I'm starting here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ash359:
Hmm so I thought I had two cameras from selecting two cameras but I have one good camera and another that can't decide if it's 4.2 or 4.3

Not the rom. Problem with hangouts. It's hit or miss with that app. I have definitely sent complaint emails to them about this issue. I have it working right now, but wouldn't in the past. Opposite of you I guess but same scenario.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Does your video chat work on hangouts? Mine does currently, but never would in the past. Dublus said above that his video chat used to work, but doesn't anymore. Same scenario but opposite. There as been complaints for years about this issue. If you haven't experienced this than your turn is coming. Lol, I guess your lucky for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dublus:
What I really liked about Hangouts was my wife and I could each be on our own phones and have a video call with all 3 of our college kids one their phones at the same time. It was awesome.

We tried it again for the first time this school year and, like I said, the app just freezes and closes.

Is there any other free app that can do that? (not the freeze and close part, oh, you know what I mean)

Also, it's still a little early to say for sure but this morning I disabled the "Suppress background noise" checkbox and made several perfect wifi calls. Usually the incoming sound is very choppy. Crossing my fingers that it will stay that way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ash359:
I always hated that background noise suppression on any kind of call. I rather there be noise that I can try to hear through that the garbled muting that filter does.

Sent from my Jedi Master Note II
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
I tried the wifi calling with suppression off and it still had a horrible echo for the caller on the other end. Will try it some more.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
I had the echo issue while on Jedi as well and also experience it now while on PAC-MAN... Pretty sure its a WiFi thing only but not quite sure... Probably 95 percent it is more of a Custom ROM thing than anything else as since the March 26th, Phoenix LTE rollout (in which I went back to stock and haven't rooted or flashed until October 20th) basically during that stock period I didn't receive any complaints from anyone I called about an echo until I flashed and the received complaints... Then flashed from JM18 to Pac-MAN (pretty sure WiFi calling isn't apart of Pac-man Roms either) and continued receiving complaints... Heard about turning off noise reduction/suppression and still no luck...

I think it is a custom ROM thing... Probably encoded poorly by developers (possibly either missing altogether, removed where as seen as bloated/unneeded code, or corrupted some how by the audio app(s) the developer added to the ROM... I haven't read any Stock-rooted users blog any complaints either... Hopefully this narrows the culprit down and we can eliminate this issue once and for all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Would love for this to become a recognized issue and for the devs to find a solution. I also received no complaints with wifi calling while stock, but now it is essentially unusable.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dublus:
My success with good sound on wifi calling only lasted a day. I can tolerate some echo but the choppy incoming audio makes me have to hang up and call back (after turning off wifi calling). Then I try it again a few days later. At this point I'll just leave it off unless something new comes up.

I, too, hope someone could look into this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho1:
My wife has rooted stock rom.. She was just talking to me today in wifi calling and it was echoing terribly. . I had her turn off wifi and call me back. . And that is a stock rom.. Definitely not a jedi issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ash359:
I really don't think it's a Jedi issue either.

I keep mine turned off unless I am at my girlfriend's house.

The one time I did take a Wi-Fi call there was a bad echo until I took it off speaker phone.

Though I know someone who actually cancelled t-mobile and went back to Verizon over this echo.

I don't think he realized that he could turn it off.

He was most certainly on stock too.

Sent from my Jedi Master Note II
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dublus:
Like I said before, I can tolerate the echo, even a big one as long as it's only on my end so it doesn't bother the person I'm taking to. At least I can hear every word.

The problem that makes me turn wifi calling off is choppy incoming audio. I have a feeling the echo is not ROM related but the choppy sound is. With any of my other wifi calling phones the audio is crystal clear. We've been using everything from the Samsung Katalyst up to the Note II (including the HTC HD2 that wasn't even an Android and wasn't made with wifi calling as well several Blackberries) and this is the first time we've ever had any issues with wifi calling.

If these problems are inherent to the phone then why isn't there a big uproar about the stock phone with the stock ROM regarding poor wifi calling. Or is there and I just hadn't noticed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
I don't think it is a Jedi thing necessarily over another custom ROM (Jedi is basically the only custom ROM I've used with the Note 2) I'm simply trying to narrow down the issue and I appreciate everyone for their feedback... If it is happening with on Rooted Stock phones as well then it might be a odexed/deodexed thing... Anyone have those Roms readily available to test...

And again I'm almost positive that PAC-MAN ROM doesn't have WiFi calling and yet I'm still getting complaints about an echo on that ROM... So I'm sure WIFI Calling isn't necessarily the issue, or at least it is nothing more than a symptom to the root cause of the echo
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Craniotomy:
I've been using jm since v14, I've been on WiFi calling ever since, most of the time the whole day. I've experienced the call echo, turned off noise reduction which helped a lot, I've tried other kernels which worked also, i even clean wipe, fresh install on some jm versions and it fixed it too. But i haven't experienced call echo with v18 yet.

This is interesting news as the vast majority of people seem to have a problem.

Can you share every detail of your settings and perhaps we may find a solution in there.

Maybe it's boeffla or viper or something.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] risho:
Not a echo but definitely can't use wifi calling since JM16, volume is too low while on wifi even with config file mod to raise the volume it's just a whisper till I turn off wifi calling, then my speakerphone gets to the max vol 60 setting even tried disabling boeffla sound
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
When you say you were experiencing the echo, is that on your end or the person that your talking to?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
I'm fairly certain that most reports of echo are complaints from the person that is being talked to. That is definitely my experience. Sounds fine on my end, with the exception of the conversation dropping out every few seconds, for a brief moment.

I'm not sure if disabling the noise reduction option helps with the dropping/choppy sound as the person on the other end couldn't stand talking to me because of the echo (well, that's the excuse they gave, and I'm accepting as I don't want to face an unpleasant reality that they were just trying to not converse with me because they just couldn't stand conversing with me), so I had to end the call and call them back without WiFi calling.

Again, used to use WiFi calling all the time before flashing and it was much more usable (not perfect, but MUCH better).

This COULD be something to do with WiFi quality itself and not specifically a WiFi calling issue. I've also experienced some WiFi bandwidth issues that are hard to explain since flashing.

Unfortunately, all of this could be just coincidental as well. Hard for me to confirm much as I do not have the time to Flash back and forth and test specifics (4 1/2 month old, and a 20 month old).

Anyway, I don't know enough of the mechanics to intelligently point my finger in any direction. Just sharing experience in the hopes that a light bulb goes off somewhere in relation to something that can be tweaked to make WiFi calling more usable. I understand that this may very well be the nature of the WiFi beast and have NOTHING to do with the ROM.

I also understand some report no problems, but MANY do report problems, with the added comments that it seemed to become a major issue after the flash.

Jz.

Just a couple other items, posted just for posterity sake.

I've seen a few Instagram complaints in the thread. What I've found is when I try to add a video from the Gallery, using 4.3 Gallery, it will consistently crash after all editing is complete and before I can enter a comment and assign any other sites I'd like it posted to.

BUT, if I initiate the process from within the Instagram application, uploading videos works fine.

And I know Hangouts has problems, just confirming I was not able to initiate a video call. Unfortunately I don't know many peeps that like to use video calling, so I cannot really test it more thoroughly.

That's it.

Love the Jedi ROM. Not complaining, just informing. :)

Question:

It was just suggested to me that JM 18 might perform better, in relation to WiFi, with SK 45.3 than with SK 46.

Any comments on this (excluding the, 45.3 is older than 46 so 46 must be better)?

Sounds like your phone is suffering from overly aggressive tweaking of your voltages.

Have you used Trickster Mod to change any of your voltages?

If so, you should start reverting some of your changes back to stock Jedi Master 18 settings and see how that helps.

Good luck.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
Well I can confirm that while unrooted, stock, my phone had no issues with echo (March 26th through October 20th)... On Oct 20th I rooted (through Odin and I have to check but I'm pretty sure with CF Auto Root) and flashed (through TWRP) JM18.. Then started receiving complaints of echo from the person I was talking to (over WiFi-Calling for sure but possibly over TMO network as well)... On November 6th I flashed PACMAN ROM (through TWRP) and this is what's confusing me as I'm fairly positive PACMAN doesn't have WiFi-Calling and yet still receiving complaints of the echo... What gives? To me it is possibly TWRP? The various Root Methods? Or just custom Roms in general? Some file is getting corrupted, misused, erased, something right.. I guess I should test PACMAN a little better to see if it happens when WIFI is turned off, etc

Edit... I can confirm over PACMAN that an echo does exist on the others phone (called my girls phone and she could hear herself talk) regardless of whether WiFi was enabled or not

Do you download the rom on your pc or on your phone? Have you tried different kernels? I've been using twrp for a long time no issues with it. What wi-fi router are you using?

POWERED by the MASTER!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
I was beginning to think that could also be a router issue as well. I'll have to look into that but I also remember that I previously rooted my phone (the first time back in February of this year) using MSkip2.0xxx method and after flashing JM10/12 didn't get any complaints of echo (that I can remember) ... I would agree with your insinuation about a possible outdated/misconfigured router being the culprit but again the echo occurs without WiFi being enabled as I have stated earlier from testing

Edit... I guess I should also test all the call settings available for the phone as well... Proximity sensor cause quite a few weird issues for users in the past so maybe there might be a a temp fix with one of those

Then that is most likely your problem. Having both 4.2 Camera, and 4.3 Camera seems to cause a conflict resulting in what you are experiencing.

Try dirty flashing and only selecting either 4.3 Camera OR 4.2 Camera.

That should resolve your issue. Or at least, make things a whole lot better.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
Ok so tested as many options as I could within PACMAN and still couldnt get the echo to go away... just flashed back to JM18 and instantly tested out the echo.. results were when on WIFI my girlfriends phone picked up echo (she heard herself talk) extremely bad!!! "Worse than while on PACMAN", she said and it reminded her of that Tosh.O app he used in one of his episodes that made it almost impossible to speak (cant remember the app but the skit he did is pretty funny if your interested) either way I hang up, switched off wifi and recalled her and she said the echo was about as equivalent as it was while testing on PACMAN, as it was still there but hardly as bad as it was over WiFi.. not sure what exactly creates the echo but whatever is going on within TMO - TW based roms with WIFI calling definitely enhances the echo
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] master.peterm:
The app was speach jammer...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ash359:
I've gotta say that is a major source of confusion, I selected both cameras and I see I have two cameras.

I didn't know that the Samsung camera is always in the ROM even if you don't select any.

So it is just recently occurring to me that when you select both cameras you end up with the Samsung camera as one of them and the other one is a corrupted mixture of 4.2 and 4.3

I'm positive a large number of people are making this mistake and it should probably be in the OP because this is going to come up over and over and over....
