Thank you for teaching me how to answer a question. Now let me teach you how to use the search function.

1. Click on VivoKat Q&A Thread.

2. Type "Microphone" in the search box.

3. Look for an answer.

Good day.

I sense you're a little upset about my post so sorry that I mixed myself, but I thought this forum was to help each other and not picking on each other. I have no trouble using the search function, but when others apparently have, you could possibly help tell how to use it. It would be more constructive.
[HTC Incredible S] jlund6:
This post I write because others who have the same problem might be able to use my experiences around the microphone error.

Since it apparently works for others to flash Tesco_ion_3.5.6.zip I tried again. I have both tried with #3_Stable and #4_Stable. I have done the following:

1 Wipe Data / Factory Reset

2 Wipe cache partition

3 Wipe Dalvik cache

4 Install Vivokat_Stable__3_01.03.zip from SD card

5 Removed battery and restart to HBOOT menu . Then swits to fastboot USB

6 Although I have the Revolutionary S-Off, I run Fastboot flash boot boot.img (boot.img from #3 zip files). Former tried without flash boot.img, so thats why.

7 Install Tesco_ion_3.5.6.zip from SD card

8 Install gaaps-kk-20140105-signed.zip from SD card. This install failed. It says:

Set_metadata_recursive: Some changed failed

E: Error in /sdcard/gaaps-kk-20140105-signed.zip ( Status 7)

Installation aborted

9 Previously I used with luck this file, pa_gaaps-modular mini-4.4.2-20140207-signed.zip, so I tried this file. This install without any error.

10 Finally I installed Update SuperSU-v1.93.zip

11 Reboot system now. Then it says, " ROM can flash stock recovery on boot . Fix ?". I choose "Yes - disable flash recovery"

After a long time with the arrow spinning around the CyanogenMod icon, it starts from scratch with setting up CyanogenMod account and so on. After configuration WiFi is not active and it is not possible to turn on WiFi, BUT microphone now works as it should. Since I now had another problem, I repeated the above procedure, but this time with #4_Stable which advertises fix WiFi.

At point 1, I got the following error : E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2, but I continued anyway with point 2

At the end, and after long time with the arrow spinning around the CyanogenMod icon, it starts from scratch with setting up CyanogenMod account and so on. After the configuration was finished, the WiFi is not active and it is not possible to enable WiFi , BUT microphone works again as it should.

Repeated procedure with #3_Stable BUT without putting Tesco_ion_3.5.6.zip on. Now works with both microphone and WiFi. What has gone wrong in previous attempts I do not know, but the only difference is flash image.img from #3, which should not be necessary since I've Revolutionary S- Off.

As mentioned, the microphone now works when I talk on the phone, but if I select a sound recorder apps, no sound will be recorded or the phone restarts automatically. Any idea ?

1. We are not upset by the fact that people ask questions. We are upset by the fact that you do not use the search function first. It saves a lot of time to just use that first since if you post, it will take some time before someone responds. Secondly, I don't know if you know this but it gets REALLY frustrating to answer the same question OVER and OVER again. It just becomes useless clutter. Not only is it inconvenient for other people, but sometimes the mods will have to come back to clean threads which, on this low-end device, is more or less a time waster. Their time would probably be better spent cleaning up bigger threads in newer devices or looking into reports

2. Someone released a microphone fix a couple pages back but it apparently broke WiFi. Use the search function to see if anyone has gotten microphone and WiFi to work as I don't have my Inc S to test anything at the moment.

This seems to be best ROM in terms of smoothness after sense based ICS ROMs. It's better than JB ROMs also.

I know there are bugs like no video recording, mic etc but those I really don't care in daily use.

What bothers me is, battery drain. I am using this ROM for around a week now and battery seems to be bad. Yesterday, I lost 90% battery in 12 hours with less than 20 minutes display on and 15 minute call.

Since [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] is working on back porting 3.4 kernel, I guess it will take time. Can someone else look in how to improve batter performance on this ROM? Any suggestion, tip or some expert can tweak this ROM for battery performance?

I install the CM11 ROM, but the ringtone is bad always. I'm not sure if my device broken or the ROM has the issue, anyone has the same issue? I love Incredible S, and I like the CM system.

Cast problem

Now it's possible to get almost anything to work on my IncS with Vivokat # 4 (pa_gaaps-modular mini-4.4.2-20140207-signed.zip). The only issue I can immediately see now is that Cast does not work. I do not sure if it is related to the fact that video recording does not work. Can anyone answer that?

My phone can't see my WiFi dongle (T516 from W2Corp). This dongle works with DLNA, Airplay and Miracast. The phone can't see my computer with Airplay server running as well. If I use any application like iMediaShare or Streambels, Airplay works as it should, both to computer and to my dongle. I am not fully aware of what Cast should support. Is it only Miracast or is it both Miracast, Chromecast and Airplay. Can anyone help clear this and have any good idea on how I get Cast to see my devices?

battery drain!

pls fix the battery drain :(
[HTC Incredible S] Heisenberg:
Do you really think that's not something that's on the to-do list? Have you investigated what's using your battery? What do you consider bad battery drain?
[HTC Incredible S] RmatriX1218:
I am also concerned at started little bit investigation (I am newbee for this and trying to learn..)

I have changed governor to smartassv2 and scheduler to ROW. This seems improving battery around 20~30%.

Another issue seems "nlpcollectorwakelock". I found that this is well known issue for battery drain on other devices running 4.3+ also. Solution mentioned on other forums are diable location reporting.

I have not tried yet but sharing some finding.
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Okay, now I got the idea, that I'll make a totally clean kernel from the One V's last kernel source. No performance changes will be in it at first, but it'll be fully-working with Kitkat, may we can fix the battery drain this way. :)

[HTC Incredible S] RmatriX1218:
[MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION], done some searching and used batterbatterystates to understand battery drain issue, I would like to share if any use to you or others,

Audiomix and nlp wakelocks are triggering a lot and may be draining battery in my device. While searching, these two are not limited to Vivokat but issue in other devices running 4.3/4.4 ROMs.

Workaround:

Audiomix: Disable touch sounds, screen lock sound, vibrate on touch

NLP wakelocks: change location mode from high accuracy to battery saving which will not use GPS. No need to disable other location settings

With these workaround, I could reduce these two wakelocks drastically and seeing improvement in battery till yesterday night. However could not conclude as seeing some weird behavior. Battery seemed improved a lot with above but suddenly from this morning (couple of hours), again started reducing fast. May be, at night I an stopping all data and when started in morning, lots of background sync started.

Another wakelock is RILJ, but don't know workaround yet.

I don't know if this drain is kernel issue or Kitkat issue.

may be, other can try above workaround and report their observation.
[HTC Incredible S] Heisenberg:
Some of that doesn't look ROM related to me. In particular the fact that you had your location service set to high accuracy in the first place, that will drain battery like crazy. Also, you mentioned the possibility of background sync using battery in the morning when you turn your data back on, this would suggest to me that you have auto sync enabled which is another huge battery killer.

In short, from the outside (not using this ROM) these issues you've reported look like they're user related rather than ROM related. You'll probably find with a better understanding and education you can squeeze quite a bit out of your battery just by changing the way you use your device.

-Turn off auto sync.

-Turn off auto brightness (and keep brightness low unless in sunlight).

-Set location service to battery saving.

-Turn off data when not in use.

-Turn off other radio services (WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC) when not in use.

-Use Greenify to stop apps from running in the background and wasting battery (apps like Facebook, Maps, Google+, and many others are always trying to run in the background).

-Underclock your device.

[HTC Incredible S] RmatriX1218:
Thanks

But I have used several ROMs from GB to KK and keeping same setting though not battery friendly such as sync always on. But battery drain is very bad in this ROM compared to other ROMs with same setting.

So, I am just sharing what I have found unusual in this ROM and some searching.

I shared this two wakelock issues as they are already faced lots of other people running 4.3/4.4 and even nexus stock 4.4 update and hence started making me believe this could be more KK issue.

My knowledge is limited to finding till now and hence can't comment any further.
[HTC Incredible S] Heisenberg:
I'm an experienced user and have used a massive amount of different ROMs ranging from 2.0 right up to 4.4.2, I don't believe there's anything specific to KitKat that's not battery friendly. I'd say the opposite, that KitKat is more battery friendly than thy preceding version.

Anyway, I was just outlining some techniques that can be used to save battery, it's up to you if you use them or not, but not using them is definitely going to be a cause of bad battery life for you.

I think the best solution is to make clean install of this ROM :

- full wipe

- flash ROM

- flash audio fix

- reboot

- flash SuperSU

- flash gapps

- reboot

Then I have configured SuperSU to always grant/allow permissions and force permission.

I respected this order and i haven't got any bug with wifi

VPN issue

It looks as if there is a problem with PPTP VPN connections in the new Stable#4 (and perhaps #3). Client starts connection, connection opens on PC, but immediately after it shuts down the connection. This does not happen when using the original HTC IncS Android version. I can not see if it should be a known issue in this Rom. Does anyone know a solution?
[HTC Incredible S] JohnDiew0107:
Could the battery drain issue has any kind of relationship with radio signal?

I mean, I tried removing my sim card and use it along with GPS and WiFi.. the battery drain issue would be gone..

There probably is some sort of relationship. But if you take out the SIM card, then you lose the "phone" functionality. :)

Battery life

Hi all! I've tried this on my vivo and found it quite amazing. After some freaking around everything except video recording is working just perfect ) But there's one big issue with that: it eats the battery VERY fast. E.g. with latest HTC firmware it took about 2 days of using with wifi, gps and everything on before battery dries out, and now it takes about 10 hours even if I'm not using it for nothing but several calls per day having everything like wifi, bt etc switched off. In the battery charge diagram there are sharp dropdowns, like it was 85%, 80, 79, and then 62, 61 etc. The same during charging: it raises slowly, and may jump by 15-20% instantly. If I'm using some battery-eating software, e.g. navigation, it takes less than an hour to make the device shut down, it goes off having about 20% battery life, but after reboot shows battery empty and shuts down again.

Does anyone have a clue how to tweak it? Or maybe I have coincidently dead battery at the same time I've flashed the Vivokat?

Here's a power drop screnshot:
[HTC Incredible S] raulpcamara:
