Hmm... So the call echo is intermittent then. I'm also afflicted by it. Let's figure out what we seem to have in common...

I'm on tmobile, I doubt carrier would make the difference but it's a start.

edit... Just checked & my speakerphone for calls is low, and none of the volume controls will raise or lower the volume.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jay-pee:
I am also having issues with my stereo Bluetooth headset for calls. It works great for music though. Everything works I just can't hear a thing.

I'm using a Samsung HS3000 if that means anything to anyone. Note I've always had issues with cm mod and this headset, before I could take calls but no music.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HORiZUN:
Volume Control

Does anyone else share the inability to turn volume down while playing audio?

For instance, while playing audio from Apollo or Google Play Music, when I turn the volume all the way down, the sound is still blaring from the phone's speakerphone speaker.

Also, when I plug in a 3.5mm headphone jack, auxiliary port for my car, etc - the output device never switches from the phone's speaker to the headphone jack. It displays in notification bar that headphones are inserted, but never stops playing on the speaker. SO... i can't use the phone in my car to listen to music, anymore... GRR.

Is there a solution to this one? Really getting on my nerves, especially with not being able to listen to Pandora with my car stereo speakers.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Re-Flash. Works fine here
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
works fine here too, I listen in my car all the time with no issues.

[HTC Amaze 4G] wolf_7669:
Hardware volume buttons don't work for me (they look like they do but volume does not change), have to use the onscreen slider for the volume to actually change.

I have the exact opposite with the headset jack. I never get a headset notification, but the audio output does switch to the headset.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
If you encounter any unusual issues it is unique to you full wipe and flash
[HTC Amaze 4G] Goten310:
Anyone having problems with low speaker volume I used the Pimp My Rom program from the Play store and it cured it. Install the Sony Xloud in the apps and mods section then flash it in recovery. Now it's too loud lol.

[HTC Amaze 4G] HumpDdumpD:
Has anybody else been unable to open power amp on this rom, or this just me?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
I would NOT recommend using any 'loudness booster' - you risk damaging your phone.

The REASON that we have a volume issue, is that sound that SHOULD play over the phone's main speaker is going out the handset-ear-speaker instead... Similarly, sound that SHOULD play via the earpiece speaker (Ringers/notifications) is playing out the MAIN speaker.... Hence it is TOO LOUD and distorted...

'Over driving' that earpiece speaker risks blowing it out - it is not loud because it is not designed to BE loud.

Once audio-routing is fixed, volumes will be normal....

Noticed bugs

I've noticed several issues with the current CM10.1 for the Amaze (though some issues I've noticed with CM10.1 period, even on my work SGS3).

1. Some settings are not retained when changed. I've changed the Wifi Frequency Band and Region code multiple times and it does not stick. If I exit Settings and go back to check it, it has reverted back to the default (which is Auto and Europe, respectively).

2. The phone does not pick up 5GHz networks like it used to. I run a dual-band MIMO router at home, and my phone sees the SSID on the 2.4GHz side just fine but does not see the other SSID on the 5GHz side.

3. Bluetooth tethering does not work completely. This I believe is not unique to the Amaze, but something deeper in CM10.1. The device tethers physically just fine, but when Internet Access is enabled nothing routes. I had the same issue on my SGS3 running CM10.1, but when I rolled back to CM10 the issue went away.

4. T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail app does not play voicemail audio. If I hit play, it does nothing despite the voicemail being there. It works otherwise; it pulls down messages and notifies me of new ones.

5. Yes, I've noticed that volume seems a bit off but I've also seen the explanations of issues with audio routing within CM10.1 currently. Anxiously awaiting that fix! :)

6. Some applications refuse to load, to the point of freezing or crashing back to the homescreen. One particular example is Zynga Slots; even after clearing data, cache and dalvik-cache (and this was after wiping system and data) it still locks up and refuses to load, and is now crashing back to homescreen.

The above observations may be previously known, for which I apologize if it is a redundant post. I only aim to list my experiences with this ROM in hopes it will assist with development/bug-hunting. Let me know if I can be of assistance with anything.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
What CM10.1? There hasn't even been an update since 12/10, let alone a 4.2 merge.
[HTC Amaze 4G] netracerx:
Well, I apologize for the version confusion. Nevertheless, the issues are still there.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Yes the issues that are in your head are still there
[HTC Amaze 4G] netracerx:
Yes, my head has issues. I'm talking about my phone's OS. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
I, too, having the same problem when flashed the Xloud from Pimp My Rom, PowerAmp wouldn't started at all. I have to do a restore to solved it
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
Yeah - I have meaning to ask him about it, I read almost the whole page, it looks like a little speed demon :)

Maybe in the useless thread, don't wanna get bonked here :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
I agree that the audio routing fix is the way to go, but the xplod mod changed the audio levels basically to normal, I haven't experienced distortion with audio or notifications. Speaker phone is even still a little quiet...but better, and seems to be coming from the speaker and not the earpiece.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
LMAO...

Acceptance is the first step to recovery.... lol

You didn't have to do that... there's a uninstall option.

I am having trouble with WiFi Tether. With default settings, and profile set to either "Auto," "Generic," or to "Amaze," no matter what, the AP does not show up. I entered the SSID manually on my other devices, still no connection. The built-in AP on the Amaze works, but requires T-Mobile WiFi hotspot service, so it's not the phone, is it? This occurred on both Sense and CM10. What could be the problem?

EDIT: Never mind, I got it working.

EDIT 2: Just got a push SMS stating that hotspot access has been blocked, and suddenly WiFi Tether no longer works. WTF, T-Mobile?! They can block even this app? I haven't heard anyone else mention this problem... Yep, sure enough, my 3DS can connect still but can't connect to Netflix. Browser brings up the "T-Mobile Smartphone Mobile Hotspot" page. Fsck! I pay an arm and a leg already for unlimited data, and they want extra to tether it? What BS!
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeterC18st:
FIXED!!!!

Charged phone for 7hrs wiped battery stats in recovery started showing 100% again.

————————————

I haven't seen this posted here but I can be wrong. Whenever I charge my amaze while its turned off when the charge light turns green its only charged to 84%. I let it stay on the charger until it hit 100% which took Another couple of hours 2 or 3. Yesterday and today I ran the amaze until dead and then left it on the charger all night while off. Turned it on again lights green but its showing 84% only fully charged after turning the phone on and leave it charging for 2 to 3 more extra hours. I know OEM batteries suck and the amaze has horrible battery life but I didn't have this problem with any other sense based ROM.

I know I should wipe battery stats but this was a fresh install. Only 11 days old. I'll wipe them anyway also but I remember the debate that wiping battery stats is a placebo.

I'll do a nandroid backup then wipe all partitions and install a sense based ROM fresh let it charge see if I can duplicate this.

S-Off

4ext latest recovery

CM10 latest 12/10 build

installed CM10 after upgrading to the original T-Mobile RUU then full wipe of all partitions.

Your battery could be on the verge of kicking the bucket. What mAh and voltage is it reporting?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Mine did this... Although at 92%... Went back to sense and it behaves normally again....
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeterC18st:
mAh 1730 voltage 4.29. Battery stats says battery is in good health. Did a wipe of battery stats and turned off the phone and let it charge while off for 4 hours. Battery is reporting 100%.

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!

---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

Weird. Guess my battery stats were a bit messed up. HTC did some cockamamie stuff with our phone with making sense so crappy. Or T-Mobile for releasing the official RUU filled with bloatware and gimped WiFi Calling. So grateful for the devs here. The only reason why I still have the amaze is because of them.

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mystery?:
Does the Youtube playback issue still exist? I had an older build and I forgot which one it was.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HumpDdumpD:
I'm not sure if anyone has tried this already or it would be a waste of time, but would we be able to take any files a from cm builds for sensation or the one series & use their audio/Bluetooth files & info? I know the sensation is similar to the amaze, not so sure about the one series.

just a thought, I wouldn't know where to start with it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] polarbass:
Any quick fix or things that could help with the echo while on call?
[HTC Amaze 4G] wolf_7669:
The only thing I can think of to try would be to cover up all the extra mics.

Nope.

[HTC Amaze 4G] corys00:
Not an issue on any of my other devices (Evo LTE and Nexus 7) both on CM10 and both with SwiftKey.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
A slight mix of both, probably, in the case of audio... Sport has already reverted some of the audio *files*, in his github - but I don't know if that's been merged upstream with CM yet...

As for the kernel side of the issue, it's fixable... My suggestion solution would be to port the audio and amplifier drivers over from the HTC kernel-source, even though they are from a slightly older version of Linux (3.0.16 vs 3.0.52)...
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
You did change the APN, yes?

Not sure if it matters with the WiFi app but....

I have not used Hotspot in awhile, I'll test it out today see if its the same for me.

[HTC Amaze 4G] JonathanBarca10:
So is this pretty much useful for basic tasks? Ive read through the last few pages and the problems seem to be mostly for moderate users, not basic users(picture messaging, texting, phone calls) just trying to find something stable for my old Amaze that my mom will be adopting very soon.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
If she has no problem figuring out the CM Updater, then sure, why not. But I suggest testing it yourself beforehand because you may be one of the few who actually experiences the echo during calls, and she may not like that at all.
[HTC Amaze 4G] polarbass:
Yeah echo on call is definitly at killer bug if she use it mostly as a phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HumpDdumpD:
agreed... This is hands down the smoothest rom available for the amaze IMHO, but as far as the actual usage as a phone goes it leaves a little to be desired....

On that thought, has anybody using pimp my rom tried the call tweak for amr wide band setting? I've got it turned on, but I don't exactly get what it does specifically so I can't really tell if it would make any difference for the echo...
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Not everybody experienced echo in call it could be a carrier thing who experiences echo that has T-Mobile
[HTC Amaze 4G] polarbass:
I am on videotron. I don't know if that change anything.

It just fell like the in call volume is too the max and the microphone is catching too much too.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Back in the HD2 days people with carriers other than T-Mobile were experiencing echo in call because those carriers use a different default.bak
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
I have T-mobile and my grandma complained about the echo. I have not tried 12/24 though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] offrotor:
echo

I get complaints form people I talk to about echo. True, the Volume is at max and the mic is picking it up. I cant seem to turn the volume down. At least with the 2012/12/24 release...

Flashing 2012/12/25 now.

Keep up the Great work on this! Its Awesome. (My daily driver).
[HTC Amaze 4G] HumpDdumpD:
Tmobile here, had echo since the 12/10 release I think.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mahgninnuc93:
12/25 still has the echo. Great Rom except for the audio issues but I'm sure they will fix them in time.
[HTC Amaze 4G] wolf_7669:
Being that the echo is caused by the noise cancelling mics, wouldn't covering them up stop the echo?
[HTC Amaze 4G] polarbass:
How would you do that?

The 3 small holes on the backplate?
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
That might be the case. I don't experience the echo, maybe once in a while, but I do hear it echo on their end occasionally. I think it doesn't always happen because I have a D3O case on the back, which might be muffling those holes.

Heh, heh.... holes. Hey, Beavis... We should go to Seattle and see Hole. Huh huh. Hole.
[HTC Amaze 4G] oophlamer:
Umm...I'm on TMo & have been running CM since 12/10 without any echo at any volume level.
[HTC Amaze 4G] RiverdALIEN:
Why aren't the speakerphone and echo problems listed on the OP? I wanna be able to just check it to know when to flash the rom of my dreams
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Because at this time it does not affect everyone who uses this ROM. It seems to affect T-Mobile customers only.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
don't think it has anything to do with the holes being covered or not, because I have a trident kraken case which covers these holes and still had mad echo (caller heard it only, never heard it on my end), and it didn't seem to matter what volume level I had anything set to...
[HTC Amaze 4G] marathone:
Yeah I was using that switch, it screwed up my sound so turned it off.

A Small Bug

First off to everyone who has been working on this, thank you so freaking much I hope you guys found some gold bricks under your Christmas trees for all the work you have put forth! :]

Next I just wanted to point out a tiny bug I've been experiencing since playing around with CM10. When I try to go Micro USB to HDMI using my adapter I suddenly get locked into "landscape mode" and I experience mad visual static with no output to my monitor. I re-flashed and wiped but still experiencing the issue. I know this was working on HTC Sense so I wanted to bring it up since I couldn't find a mention of it here. It may be just me if so I will try to re-flash again. Regardless, I rather be using CM10 any day.

Again, thank you SO much for all you have already done.

Phone - HTC Ruby/Amaze

[HTC Amaze 4G] HumpDdumpD:
I have to say... Watching the main thread & the things happening right now is like watching porn for me :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] RiverdALIEN:
sooooooooooo................. just write "T-Mobile Users: echo problem" ??:confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] spantz:
I get echo complaints from people and I'm on telus.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HumpDdumpD:
This isn't affecting just tmobile user's or all tmobile user's. This guys an example..

IMHO I don't think the microphones are the cause. I don't know enough about the way it all works to be sure of anything, but I'm pretty sure the amaze has 2 mics one top of camera on back, one normal place (like the nexus one had) I think the other holes consist of a light sensor for the camera & I'm not sure of the 3rd... Possibly mic for stereo recording in video if it doesn't just utilize the first 2 already....

Anyways I think it's the audio routing that's somehow mixing the sound coming in from the call, with the sound going out to the other party.

I have the feeling that once all the audio routing is properly configured then the echo will disappear. What I don't get is how some people are not having this issue... Perhaps the call going through an edge signal vs a 3/4G or hsdpa?

Wait a minute, everybody having the echo problems or not... If you don't mind check your phone settings to see if enable noise suppression is checked...

Could it be that the stream it's mixing for noise suppression is the wrong one & this is the way to stop it for now?
[HTC Amaze 4G] wolf_7669:
I was using the default value for noise suppression and the call echo was random for me. Wife called me once and told me I was echoing bad. Called again later and sound was perfect. That's why I thought it might be the mics themselves (in conjunction with the audio routing issues). I was thinking that if you took a call in a noisy area where it had to filter out background noise, the echo would appear. But not if you were in a quiet area. Haven't been able to test the theory though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HumpDdumpD:
That's a good theory though. I don't talk a lot on my phone but will be making a few calls soon to see what happens though.

edit... Changing noise suppression makes no difference.
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
I can say the same, I have not had this problem, it's strange to me that some do and others don't.
[HTC Amaze 4G] windcan:
+1 for being told by person on other end of call they hear echo when talking to me but I do not hear an echo (I am with Wind Mobile in Canada)
[HTC Amaze 4G] jakijal:
my phone is rooted and s-off and all that good stuff but have yet to flash a rom and i do have that echo issue as well. its not an every call issue. itll do it once in a while. it did happen to me yesterday. i made a call early this morning and it seemed fine.

the other person didnt tell me they heard an echo but i could definitely hear it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HumpDdumpD:
different issue... Ours concerns only the echo being heard by the party we are speaking to. Never heard by the person using the phone.

I've got the 12/27 nightly and I haven't had any echo. I don't talk on the phone a whole lot though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Tread70:
Possibly a bad download? Does anyone check the md5sum prior to flashing? I know I do to insure my download is complete....
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
You need to manually flash the kernel image...

Get the 1227 build

Flash it from 4EXT

Then reboot into BOOTLOADER - you should get a whitescreen with colorful print and 'fastboot usb' in red. If not, pick 'fastboot' from the menu.

You will need to have 'fastboot' and 'adb' for this to work...

Extract 'boot.img' from the ROM's ZIP file to your PC's hard drive (C:\)

Open a command prompt and run 'fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img' from wherever you have fastboot.exe
[HTC Amaze 4G] JonathanBarca10:

and in google play, randomly what ever music you are playing stops as if there are notifications and then start again where it left off
[HTC Amaze 4G] dthomp01:
Data was very spotty for me with the experimental 12/28, reverting to 12/28 official cm nightly resolved the problem. Did anything data related change in the new experimental builds?
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Occasionally. Haven't noticed it yet so far.

This is a known bug. It has something to do with the video libraries not playing nice with CM10.

I've had this problem too. Sounds like it skips for an instant, right?

Anyway, I'm on last night's unofficial build, and I can't mount either storage units. I think 'cause it doesn't actually have the USB_fix file someone mentioned.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
Not that I know of... The kernel changes were USB, sound, and power-management - at least that's what it was when I forwarded the files up to Sport...

Check your APNs. The T-Mobile APN as-stock-configured is still abjectly wrong...
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Yeah, it is. I have to wonder why they still haven't fixed that.

USB mounting works for me again after flashing the fix zip, but only internal storage. Dammit!
