this is likely due to dirty flash. I would get it occasionally.

Just reflash or do some form of clean install.

You're not using Google dialer, right?

...but now I have problem with google contacts which is not syncing...

I tried app from google paly to fix sync, but it didnt help...

I tried to clear cache from contact app.. didnt help...
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Are you sure you didn't flash somebody's 4.4.3 dialer zip?

Are you running a theme that hasn't been updated for 4.4.3?

BTW, this commit looks interesting...did CM really find a way to "swipe left to Google Now"? Removed trebuchet from my delete script and watching Jenkins for a build to find out...

OK. I see. On my phone what is happening is that yes, now everything is louder but the voice in comparison with everything else is softer. I can live with it now, but I was just wondering if there was a separate level for the voice with respect to system sounds. For example the beep that happens when a call is ended is very loud compared to the actual conversation.

Thanks!
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Try disabling sync, clearing contact app data, rebooting, then enabling contact sync.

That seems to fix it for some folks.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Some time ago I ran into an app that could alter independently various volumes. The ones for tick, tap, screen sound, camera and so on are called "system sounds" and before, they could have been changed separately from global volume or notification volume. There were even some ROMs that provide different settings for that...it was the Gingerbread era at that time tho, dunno why in KK we don't have such thing.

Below I've linked the app I was using and also several others with the same functionality...see if one of them can change the volumes for system sounds to make them lower or to boost the incall volume

Well guys, this may be it for me. My daughters school decided to throw her backpack away in the trash today for some reason. As a result, her ville is now in a landfill.

Pretty annoyed about it. I don't think this issue can be fixed this time-- even with a full wipe and RUU to stock.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Umm...are they going to compensate your for your lost property? Is this a school policy that belongings are thrown away? I thought CA schools were loony.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
GREAT questions. No answers yet, but I'll let you know.

NC schools were great until about ten years ago.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Well, I guess that makes me about the last yankee still hanging out here...

BTW, the Google Now integration in Trebuchet isn't worth a flash to try. Basically just fades to black, then loads the app. Swiping back is even jankier. I'm sure it will get better, but it will never have that smooth GEL animation that I think most people really want (I mean, the feature itself is mostly just "pretty", so an ugly implementation doesn't make sense).
[HTC One S] nicknc:
A wrinkle to the plot-- school policy, it turns out, is NOT to arbitrarily throw backpacks away in the middle of the school day (a relief, I know!)

However, the custodian (who initially informed my daughter that her backpack had been tossed) is on camera removing a large object from my daughter's locker during the morning and placing it in the custodian's closet.

Now, I'm just waiting for the phone to be powered on so I can get a GPS fix on it through Avast Anti-Theft....
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Darn, Nick, hope you find the phone.

I had a question about kernels and CM11. So AFAIK boot.img contains the kernel. So do I flash CM11 and then flash the custom kernel like icecode right after?

Now if I do this and decide to go back to the CM11 kernel..... all I have to do is do a wipe and re-install CM11???

Thanks.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
You can flush it over without a full wipe, just cache/dalvik. Also you could flash it using FlashimagebGUI

[HTC One S] nicknc:
Mahalo man. We will see. It got weird the last few weeks with this phone. First the screen cracked while it sat face down on a sofa arm over the course of 60 seconds. Then it's started to have intermittent problems charging, and now this. Poor girl's back on her old Sensation.

As for kernel flashing, I really recommend you run Awesome's kernel cleaner script in between ROM/kernel flashes (in either direction). Particularly with bubba kernel, you can get a lot of squirrely FC's and strange CPU states from time to time without it.

[MENTION=1045770]Rapier[/MENTION] might even actually agree with me on this piece of advice. :)

I think [MENTION=4487443]rmbq[/MENTION] still has the link to the script in his OP on the bubba thread
[HTC One S] Rapier:
If he flashes the ROM over, don't think he needs the kernel cleaning script since the ROM flash will wipe/format system so nothing will be left behind. That script is usefull when you flash only kernels since the flash script of kernel zips just copy over the modules and boot.img so it may happen that modules from another kernel are left behind

Last, but not least, I had a bad experience personally by using that cleaning script. Dunno what went wrong but I got the whole ROM messed up after using it and I had to reflash the ROM again to solve it. Again, this was just my personal experience with the cleaning script and I used it only once. It could have been something else that went wrong but I was so pissed and fed up that I didn't investigate more (I was already trying several times to flash a kernel and make the ROM work). Since then I never used the script again. But for many people it proved to be usefull and do what it should...that is erase the kernel and it's modules

[HTC One S] vbbasti:
Yesterday I flashed the M7 and today after some gaming the phone gets really hot and performs a reboot after some time. Afterwards the phone is working as expected. Before the flashing the M7 I didn't manage to get S-OFF. Is it possible that the described behavior has something to do with the S-ON? Thanks
[HTC One S] Alegis:
Hi all, the call volume for me is now exceptionally low, I have to turn it on to speakerphone and even then I can barely hear the other person. Volume is turned way up. Anything available to correct this?

[HTC One S] vbbasti:
Yes
[HTC One S] kdd998:

Try flashing yesterday's nightly. M builds are no more stable, and appear to generally be a collection of cherry picked bugs.
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Just flashed a nightly either yesterday or day before and used icecode. It's working fine so far and icecode seems faster than the kernel in CM11. Very nice!
[HTC One S] Siezemore:
Glad I'm not the only one. I have found no solution thus far though.
[HTC One S] 808phone:
With or without headphones? I only get the low call volume with headphones. But you are right - overall the volume is lower than stock even with the speaker.

The only answer is to jack up the volumes using the method I was talking about a day or so ago. Editing a system file to make everything louder.

Everything is as loud as it should be (even with headphones), only in call volume seems significantly lower. I have finals now so I won't be looking into this much further the next couple of days, but I'll try your method if I have the time.
[HTC One S] andeld:
I know that maybe it's a stupid question, but it's possible to flash one nightly over another without wipe, to avoid all the restore of the apps process? Thanks!
[HTC One S] nicknc:
You sure it's not google contacts doing that? Low quality contact photos after a data restore is a well known issue.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

yep, it's totally doable, but about ten iterations in to it I'd typically experience strange issues.

intersperse those dirty flashes with a clean install if you notice the same. Some do, some don't

You might also want to take a look at CyanDelta

Afaik you do not have to wipe if you are flashing a nightly over an older nightly.

[HTC One S] 808phone:
Check this out. This morning, I unplug my phone and the torch comes on bright! I have a PIN lock so you really cannot get to the torch on/off easily without entering pin.

Next I make a call and the volume is LOUD!!!! I mean, really loud like the changes I made kicked in and the phone is working like it should.

Just weird. Still running 0611, no need to switch to newer yet.

Yeah, I get the same with 20140614 and with 20140616. 20140611 is fine, Wi-fi wise, so I've gone back to that one.
[HTC One S] 808phone:
> 20140611 is fine

I think I will stay with this version until someone tells me a newer one is much better. I haven't had many problems at all with this nightly. Icecode is working fine as well.

[HTC One S] 808phone:
Does anyone know how many variations of S4 models there were? Why do we have so much inconsistency between the "same" model.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
JIT manufacturing, modular construction, globalization and trade agreements are big factors.

Most phones have some variation within each model. Usually it doesn't make a difference, other times (see the MyTouch4G screen quality differences) it makes a huge difference.

Consider that even beyond different subcontractors providing parts for the phone, there can be significant variation in the quality of the parts themselves. If you've been around the DIY PC world for awhile, you area likely well aware of QC issues that can arise between identical models of a particular piece of hardware. When I still worked in corporate IT, I remember there was a solid year of tons of hard drive failures following the flooding in SE Asia that temporarily shut down supply lines. It was never confirmed, but the ~30% failure rate I witnessed in my clients machines (containing hard drives with manufacture dates after the resumption of assembly) indicated to me a lowering of QA/QC necessary to meet demand. After that initial year, hard drives carrying identical parts and model numbers began to become available with improved reliability and performance. Clearly, there was a difference there.

Better yet-- consider processor binning-- each CPU series is cut from the same wafer, but will be sold at the highest clock it can handle at "stock" voltage. I would imagine sometimes they screw up and a CPU slips out rated at a speed higher than it can actually handle.

Long explanation, but I hope that explains it.

Short explanation is: human error, micro variances and "suitable substitutions" among part suppliers.
[HTC One S] 808phone:
I understand variation - but something like wifi having problems connecting - surely the stock configurations all connected ok right? It would be a huge flaw to have wifi not connect. I don't understand how different users with similar hardware can have these huge differences (wifi, low voice call level, slow wake, etc...). I would expect that if we all install the same ROM, then we would all have similar wifi issues - especially something like wifi not turning on. I don't understand the low voice call level either. Surely we all have similar hardware for voice - why would some phones be incredibly soft and others loud?
[HTC One S] intervigil:
Don't forget to flash your boot partition since some of the changes are kernel side.
[HTC One S] |RaVeR|:
The last few weeks, I'd been considering doing a full wipe since my battery life was dreadful compared to how it used to be. Sometimes I'd just barely make it through the day even with light use.

I decided I would try to just get a new battery first. They don't cost much and it would be much less hassle than a wipe.

Conclusion: battery problems are fixed :)

A word of advice to all ville users who are still on their first battery: Your battery is getting old. You won't believe the difference if you replace it.
[HTC One S] 808phone:
I have a new battery (HTC One X battery) and get very decent battery life with greenify and task killer.

I can run all day with reasonable battery life.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
WiFi is more flaky than you would think. Honestly, I think a lot of the problems on here have more to do with AP/client incompatibility than anything else. Some nightlies make just enough of a change so as to cause issues with one subset of AP's, but not most. As you know, there is a LOT that has to happen to make and maintain an active WiFi connection.
[HTC One S] thomaspsmith:
Ah, ok. I take it there is no way to do this with the default CM updater, and it must be done manually from TWRP? I will look into it.

As an aside, is the requirement to do this indicated somewhere in the change log for a particular version? I generally skim these, so probably just missed it, but highlighting in big red letters would be a valuable option :)

Thanks!
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
It's well known, and probably in the OP of this thread, that S-ON users need to flash their kernel separately. Wifi issues seem to be very common with kernel/ROM mismatches, and I have never had any wifi issues myself. It's recommended to flash in fastboot every time, unless you want to scour the changelog and decode kernel level mods. The only changelog I've found that even shows kernel changes is the one in the CMupdater app (click the nightly version for the changelog). I use FlashImageGUI and then hit the autoupdate button and it only adds a minute to my time.

I'm having nothing but problems with wifi.. I've tried the AOSP 4.4.3 rom as well. The results are the same.

2.15 hboot, s-off.

Wifi turns on after initial flash, but after a reboot it will no longer turn on.

The only oddball thing for me is that i'm using it without a SIM. But i'm beginning to think this might be a hardware issue since I don't see anyone else having similar issues.

Advice anyone?
[HTC One S] 808phone:
> but after a reboot it will no longer turn on

What do you mean by turn on. Do you mean the icon doesn't light up in settings or do you mean it won't connect?
[HTC One S] nicholasb:
No icon. When viewing the wifi settings, it is perpetually stuck on 'Turning wifi on'.
[HTC One S] 808phone:
WOW. That's a bummer. Sounds like a bug in the initialization code or something. If the kernel affects this, you might want to try icecode. I have been using it and think it sped up my phone. OTOH I never had wifi problems - well not yet. As others have said, we have been using 0611 nightly.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Could be bad download/flash. Out of curiosity, when you look at Settings/About Phone, does the date of the kernel match the date of the ROM flashed? I've only had this specific symptom on bad kernel flashes.
[HTC One S] nicholasb:
Did a full wipe and flashed only the CM11 rom:

Looks right to me.

*edit

I went back to a 4.4.2 rom. Same issue. Looks like i have a hardware failure.

Thanks everyone for the support. My apologies for cluttering up this thread.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Always worth trying an RUU to see if a full restore to stock will fix some bug that's not in the ROM partitions.
[HTC One S] 808phone:

Go back to stock RUU and see if it fails then.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Did you actually RUU or just roll back to 4.4.2? Might want to check your radio as well-- I thought 1.20 caused wifi problems for some folks. Outside of constant high heat, I'd be a little surprised to have wifi failure this early in the game-- these chips don't really use enough voltage to fail under normal circumstances-- maybe in several more years, but not this soon.

I still have Windows Mobile phones with hair dryer-level wifi chips that run well.

They are observations, not complaining ;) ...an example of an observation might be, "why is this guy hanging around a forum for a phone he doesn't even own?", or perhaps "why does someone from Novi "Sad" want me to be happy?". Spent the day with a bunch of crumb crunchers...downloading now.

EDIT: OK, I'm going to call this one acceptable. If I try, I can hit the button with my index finger and still swipe once or twice with my thumb without the screen coming on, but if I just slow down and casually swipe it, swiping even a black screen still unlocks it. It's pretty inconsistent though. About 30% of the time, I seem to see the whole "unlock ring" animation, 30% I see about half and 30% I only see the last ring of dots, just like before this reversion.

The camera seems quite a bit faster to focus too. Have a bunch of blurry shots from a kids museum today (as usual), but got mayb 5/10 shots marginally in focus just now with this new nightly.

[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
