Voice call volume problem

Hi

I've been having this weird problem with the voice call volume with this rom. when i make calls the volume in the handset speaker is ultra low, but when i recieve calls it's just fine. I did romwipe and cache/dalvik wipe before installing.

Is there a fix or an app to boost volume out there? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] one800pepper:
Low call volume has been an issue with 4.2 rom's. I believe this is an issue that arco is working on with the Galaxy W.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ghstrdr110:
Yeah, I've had that same problem with out going hand set volume. No big deal when there isn't a lot of background noise.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] giraid:
I happen to run into the same problem, couldn't fix it even after flashing several different roms.

Finally I was able to fix it by chmod 755 the SD card in TWRP by selecting sdcard folder in the file manager
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jetstream131:
hey guy's i was wondering if DBK 4/4 works with this ROM fully, including wep and bluetooth functionality?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mwas.:
When on a call reduce the volume i.e. press on the -volume button then up it again. This works for me
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] nosleep4aday:
how do i get the previous versions of this rom sorry cant find it. I think the new 4.2 rom is merged here in the same thread as 4.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mrlamo:
What did you just say? Or at least can you tell us what you did in detail please?

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

Check the Q&A section for my thread, but it's not really an answer :(
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] giraid:
Sorry if I wasn't very clear.

First of all, I think this requires TWRP recovery, I don't think clockworkmod has this function.

Boot into TWRP -> go to "Advanced" -> "File Manager" -> select "sdcard" -> click on the "Select" button to the lower right corner -> then click "chmod 755" -> reboot.

It fixed mine, hope it will do it for you too.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mrlamo:
Tried that several times, including rebooting in between tries. Every time it told me it failed. Of course that means it also didn't help, but thanks for the suggestion.

4.1.2 the clock is force closing when trying to open to utilize the alarm
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Only way you achieve that is with a bare bones ROM that has practically no additional apps ala going "slim" . Some people here do that and great if you can but to me that defeats the purpose of owning this device unless it is just for making calls.

No flash for camera you're right, but Flashlight will turn on the LED. Weird, huh?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] chrisperrera:
Camcory probably didn't edit the camera HAL ( That or camera libs idk) As far as I know, he just pulled from their souces and did it as fast as possible. It's like beta ! for Rootbox

Re: [ROM][JB][4.1.2][4.2] Rootbox Galaxy Exhibit T679

You posted in cm10 and here. Which one is having the problem so as the problem might be worked out
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
OK I have attached the latest benchmark using Quadrant. Yeah we all post a million of these every time but just to give you an idea of where this ROM is among the other ones. Comparable score here and I'm using Demon's Blood with this OCd at 1612.

ROM feels fast and light, similar to Pacman except faster but with the same settings (I restored PA settings with TB but may or may not ever use them). What I'm looking out for mainly is stability and speed. So far I have not used ONE JB ROM that hasn't froze up and crashed at some point (and once it happens, it tends to be frequent). It was close with CM10.1 but as usual s**t started happening. I'm really hoping this one pans out, and either way I really don't feel like backing up, flashing and restoring all my apps & settings anymore so it might be swim or jump ship before it sinks this time.

Speaking of jumping ship I looked at the LG L9 phone that's out and the problem with it is there are literally no ROMs here on XDA for it yet and no root method looks like either. That's a non starter but the hardware it offers with 1GB of RAM and 1Ghz dual core make it worth the $200. If some dev gets CM10 going for it that might be the device I move on to next. Last check somebody was trying but didn't follow through.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] aR3alCoo1Kat:
I had the L9 for a couple of weeks but ended up returning it. I was able to root it but like you said the development is still in its infancy. If you got the money, I say go with the Nexus 4. This phone does what I need it to do, so it seemed like a waste of money.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I would but it has a major flaw, no SD card slot. I need 32 GB space or it's a no go.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] trent25:
You might wanna wait for the new Galaxy Exhibit coming out end of March. Based on the SIII Mini.

I too was considering the L9 but the development status is not looking too good now.

As for the Nexus 4. I got that and returned it due to a dead notification LED. Decided to refund rather than exchange because I really disliked the hardware, glass back, and no lips on the front to protect the glass when placed faced down ... I really wish I got the galaxy nexus before they stopped selling them :(

Now I am personally waiting for T-mobile's LTE SIII, or the SIV

--------------------

EDIT: Why not the Blaze 4G. $50 more than the L9, when you factor in free refill, if your a TMO Monthly subscriber. Faster processor and official CM10 support I believe.

Hey all, now back on topic

4.2 seems to work great for gaming.

GTA vice city is working well at 1.4 GHz with force GPU use.

Same here. I'm on the same kernel as you and same 4.2 install and have the same issue. No idea how to fix it yet. Also anyone having issues using chrome and firefox as their browsers? Mine lags really bad and flashes a bit too much when scrolling.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Re: [ROM][JB][4.1.2][4.2] Rootbox Galaxy Exhibit T679

Even with the problems the 4.2 version is awesome. Since the camera doesn't work anyways is there a chance for the 3.0 kernel?

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dwgjr330:
Rom is working really well for a DD

just a few bugs- sometimes the screen will hang up and not turn on when pressing the side button, and Bluetooth causes reboots pretty frequently- especially if it is turned on and disconnected from a charger

I used NOS on this and it really made this a quick and even more stable rom- good job and keep up the good work!

Slightly off topic- anyone thinking of getting a new TMO phone? this is a good phone but starting to get old and the new ones are oh so nice haha
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Jaws4God:
Id love too, but we stuck for one more year... Thats why i love all the work the guys on here do getting us better roms.. Makes it feel like a new phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Jaws4God:
Whenever i reboot i get a system process crash.. But never see it again... Anyone else have that?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Yes it's a bug with the ROM. It won't disturb normal operation, just hit "OK".

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

Be sure to verify if NOS is really working on your device by testing init.d support: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40771711&postcount=260
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] EzraGarrison:
Hey, guys. I don't see it noted anywhere here, so I'll ask. I've been on Cam's SlimBean 4.1 since release in December, but just flashed Tim's (Insomnia's, really, I suppose...) SB 4.2.2. I'm absolutely in love with 4.2 and can't bring myself to flash back to 4.1.

The question is: can anyone confirm whether or not this build has the same bluetooth and alarm clock bugs that Tim's SB 4.2.2 has? (Alarm clock not working/bluetooth causing reboots and shutdowns)

I've only ever had wonderful experiences with Cam's ROMs, so I might just flash and test this one myself, anyway. In any case, feedback is appreciated! And as always, massive thanks to the amazing devs for their incredible work in making this phone viable!!! :D

Edit: I should have read the quoted text above better, lol! Looks like the same BT bug may be present... Can anyone else confirm...?

I used it this morning and the alarm went off fine. Not sure exactly what the bug is
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
I have had 4.2.2 latest release running since release and have yet to have an alarm issue and I use alarms set 5:30am every weekday and 6:30am every weekend. Are you sure you enabled and saved?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dwgjr330:
what are the ways to test if NOS is working?

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40771711&postcount=260

Open Androguide's app, click the test button and reboot. Open the app after reboot, and if it says you don't have init.d support than NOS is not working. Luckily you can switch the toggle to "on" but you will have to remove the Turbo engine script as it causes ANR errors in the Universal init.d app on boot. Make sure you do not use the zRam script either.

Welcome back Airwolf. I think it is time to change that signature since you've been using Rootbox this long, don't you think? :-p
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] EzraGarrison:
It's not that the alarms don't work, it's that it won't even open to set them. When you tap the alarms icon at the bottom left of the clock screen it FCs and says "unfortunately, clock has stopped working". This is a minor issue though, as I just downloaded an alarm clock app from the store and it works fine. The issue is really with bluetooth causing incessant reboots and shutdowns. I'd go into more detail, but I just typed it all out a moment ago on Tim's SlimBean 4.2.2 thread and my thumbs hurt ;D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kwiky:
if you go to settings->apps, force stop clock, disable, enable should do the trick.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] EzraGarrison:
Not quite, but it gave me a starting point! That didn't work, so I force stopped again, cleared the app's cache, disabled it, rebooted, then re enabled and it works like a charm! Genius, sir, thank you!

Now, if the bluetooth shutdowns and reboots get squashed, this will be the most perfect ROM yet for this phone!

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Jaws4God:
so far here is what I've noticed..

Love the camera, has an awesome feature to "tell" the camera when to take the picture.. just don't remember what words its looking for.. it only showed me those preview hints the first time.. LOL

Battery life seems to be about what all of the 4.2.2 roms are... i'll be interested to see how it does overnight.. but after taking off the charger at 10:30.. at 3:00 it was already down to 70% after moderate use...

The phone does seem a little laggy when going in and out of apps or the app drawer..

I did get 1 restart when I plugged it into my computer to charge it.. it wasn't the first time so i'm not sure if it was a fluke or what.. but i'll try to let everyone know of any other issues or good things about the rom.

Do you know if we are able to change the entire DPI setting? I liked that feature in SLIMBEAN but didn't see it on this ROM.

Having problems with SD card storage on 4.2. It shows that its mounted but nothing shows up in my galley or my file explorer and I can't flash anything that's on my SD card...
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Bloodflame:
I tried the 4.1 build for a day. just a few notes:

- Not quite as smooth as some of your other ROMs out of the box, at least until tweaking is applied.

- From AOKP Performance menu, CPU settings don't stick after rebooting, even after fixing permissions.

- Tablet UI seems to not work properly. Maybe my PA Prefs is outdated? It's from the 4.1 build of PA 2.99... Basically it's just an issue with the status bar and navbar not showing up or not looking right. My theory is that they're conflicting with AOKP, because I'm able to control the navbar settings in there. Which even then, doesn't quite look proper... (that's the issue with these hybrid ROM's). Tablet UI looked much better in your last 4.2 build of PA.

- PA Prefs FC's when trying to adjust specific apps, which also leads me to believe my PA Prefs isn't proper... However, it's the most recent version for 4.1! Any of the newer ones are built for 4.2 only. PA Prefs works for everything else...

- The camera in this build has a zoom slider which doesn't work. I think there were some other camera oddities too, but it's mentioned in the OP.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Stuffed-up:
Had a look at the new exhibit in link and I really feel it look like it's more or a kids or teens phone even with the upgraded hardware maybe I'm just getting older and look for a more refined shape.

Just not my cup of tea as the trust old exhibit 2 keeps trucking after being washed twice dropped endless amount of times and out of the 12 months I've owned this phone it's only had two brakes and that's both times it got washed as it took a week each time in hot water cellared cupboard to dry out with covers removed.

Then slap together & slap the battery in and away she goes again it's like she don't want to die when most others would that's why I named my exhibit christen ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Re: [ROM][JB][4.1.2][4.2] Rootbox Galaxy Exhibit T679

I wish I could agree but this phone just doesn't have the hardware to run JB ROMS with any real stability. At least in my experience. It would be just fine if you are willing to stick with GB, maybe ICS too. On that note I will say this ROM is running as good or better than other JB ROMs. Pretty fast and overall stable if you keep OC at no more than 1305 or 1401 even. I was getting some lag and random reboot at 1612. I also went back to CFQ for I/O. I haven't done much in the way of multi tasking yet though and that's where the real test will happen.

BTW I find it ironic that T-Mobile's variety of no contract phones suck and now Virgin Mobile's is pretty good. The reason I switched back at the time was because of the exact opposite. Only problem now is that Sprint's network in Louisville is horrible.

Re: [ROM][JB][4.1.2][4.2] Rootbox Galaxy Exhibit T679

Our phone looks better IMO :D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] crhylove:
Been using the rom for the last couple days. Thoughts:

I'm using 4.1.2, stock JB apps.

Great battery life. Something was screwing up the IRX linaro build I was previously using (probably an app). Very fast, very stable. Have not seen a need to flash an OC kernel yet (but I might anyway.... I'm such a junkie!!!). BT works, wifi works, everything just works. Third party camera apps like my bank deposit app still take an all green picture. This has been true of every rom besides peach sunrise and stock.

The memory usage is usually OK. I generally have at least 50 mb free. This of course could be better, but then this is a known limitation of this phone. :/

Overall, with this rom, still see no reason to upgrade, even though there are so many new shiny phones...... :drool:

I would recommend this phone and rom to pretty much anybody. Great job Cam!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] radium22:
How do you like it comparing to linaro? Faster and Smoother?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] sean82007:
would love if.....

I would love this rom if the settings weren't in a split mode like a tablet style. I hate that. I have tried all dpi's available within the settings and tried the different modes viewing modes....someone help......
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
At this point I don't care so much about cosmetics as I do hardware. Right now to operate 4.1 & up 1 GB of RAM min is needed and a dual core processor. The new Exhibit will have both although 1.4Ghz CPU would be better than 1. Nonetheless much better than what we have folks.

The other obstacle will be development which takes months on XDA for a new phone. Only thing that makes me have doubts as I don't want to wait 6 months for CM 10.1 on the new device. Right now the SII is $279 through Virgin Mobile so I am pondering it but at a really bad 1Mbps download speed over Sprint 3G it makes it hard to switch back to them. It's damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario and as usual no contract people get the shaft.
