i genuinely wish you luck with the rooting process. it took a long time to root the note 3 and there is practically no aosp there either unless u have a dev edition. i dont even know if anyone is trying to root the s5 at this point.

furthermore, here is why samsung is really giving you the finger: verizon and at&t have their asshat policies for all manufacturers, yet some manufacturers bootloaders are much easier to unlock. if samsung really cared about devs on verizon then they would release odin images for the dev edition which they dont. so even if you do get the dev edition, you are stuck without any baseband updates.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jimyv:
really?

I tend to agree with this. The only permanently Broken or bricked phone or tablets that I've even considered sending back for warranty because of playing around are the ones that are completely locked down if you're here reading rooting and modding. Then you are aware of the risk but also at the same point if they are unlockable and you are capable we can always Fix our phones the exact way we F ed them up...so in a sense what I'm trying to say is using warranty false claims is total Bull crap..honestly quite ignorant because with fastboot an unlocked Boot loader...we are capable of fixing it so any body that is saying they are using warranty issues and returns As reason to lock up our phone...personally I don't believe belong here.because they are obviously not capable of performing the task that needs to be performed or able to read enough to fix their own screw up?.if you are sending back A phone or a tablet.that you break and has working Fastboot....and or unlocked bootloader....just go away.. you are giveing usersthat actually Know what they're doing a bad rap.I have noticed though that they don't mind getting perfect phones that's some Idoit it has screwed up by trying to mod .. as all they do is plug it in flash it and add it to their certified surplus that they can throw at people very easy repair sfor them to accomplish...currently a user of s4 32 gb mdk and lokified....and sitting on a brick kindle hdx...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tech_head:
Incorrect.

An unlocked bootloader means it's easier to root and much more difficult to brick.

The harder a phone is to root and the tighter the bootloader is locked, the easier it is to brick.

With a locked bootloader like the GS4 or GS5, you can brick the phone just by flashing an earlier factory image.

An unlocked bootloader will allow you to flash up, down and sideways. You might soft brick the phone but a hard brick is nearly impossible.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jcase:
Cleaned thread SOME. Please remember, to be respectful.

This is incorrect, an unlocked bootloader opens the way for a much easier brick than a locked one.

A well secured device like the S5 is going to be difficult to brick.

A very weakly (Even if not unlocked) secured device like the m8 I can brick in as little as 5 lines of java from an ordinary application.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] scallawag:
I'm sure you leaving is really going to STICK IT TO THEM. I bought my S5 knowing the rooting issue and all the other issues you mention. You did not do your homework. Verizon has done a very good job in allowing many off the bloatware apps to be turned off and on. I'm glad I'm happy with my S5 and that's partly because I did my homework which was easy. The S5 from every carrier was heavily covered on many different web sites. BTW: A verizon rep went out of her way to help me get the BOGO deal so I got an S5 and M8. Keeped the S5 but liked both phones.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TechX1991:
i'd go to sprint before T-Mobile or any of those other crappy companies lol just sayin

but in all seriousness. You are right with your post. The S5 being locked down like this isn't what was intended and its a load of crap. This is the first android phone i've owned that wasn't rooted the day i got it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] shojus:
You would know! You are the one who got us M8 owners root! :D :good:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffp.:
Just what the title says. Didn't worked with (KK)gravitybox, xblast tools, advanced power menu soft reboot options. Even the xposed framework in that screen to update that gives the option to reboot and soft reboot.

Phone just reboots normally.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chunlianghere:
since 4.4, soft reboot doesnt work for me too.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuffMcBigHuge:
It appears that some of us have been dealing with a very annoying issue with the mic not working in calls, Google Now, video recording, or any other voice based service (utter!, etc.). Oddly enough, it works fine, and then suddenly stops working completely until a reboot.

No errors appear, or popups, it just doesn't work, as if the microphone hardware is not even attached. It is certainly a software issue, but not too sure what is causing it. There is another older thread that covers microphone problems, but is not related to this new issue caused by something wrong in Sense 6.

Temp fix 1: Boot the phone into safe mode.

Temp fix 2: Reboot, but not guaranteed to work for very long.

If we all share our settings, we might be able to pinpoint what is causing this issue.

- ViperOne 6.1

- ElementalX 14.1

- TWRP 2.6.3.3

- Radio 4A.25.3263.21_10.38x.1157.04L

- ProjectERA v15.2

- Viperdark 6.1.1

- Launcher: Google Experience

- Xposed with a few modules *Ruled Out*

EDIT: I think I figured it out. It is the caused by the IntenseBlast addon in ProjectEra. Flashing this should fix your issue: IntenseBLAST_UNINSTALL.zip.

I will test this out for a few days and see if the problem persists after uninstalling IntenseBlast.

EDIT 2: I reflashed IntenseBlast to test my luck, and... my mic seems to be working fine. I'm guessing now that countless reboots fixed the issue, and it was simply a coincidence that the time I uninstalled IntenseBlast... the microphone decided to work. As of now, there is no known solution, but you can try rebooting your device a few times.

EDIT 3: A full factory reset and reflash solved my problem completely.

EDIT 4: The problem was discovered to be Project ERA. However, v18 is said to fix the issue, so try that build than any older release.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrigon:
Okay, I've only had the issue on ViperOne 6.x.x, and always had ERA, and Kangaroo kernel. Twrp 2.7.0.0. No xposed.

I know they changed the mics in later m7 builds. Would this be related?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuffMcBigHuge:
Agreed. I updated my OP. I believe ERA is conflicting with Sense 6, more specifically, the IntenseBlast addon.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrigon:
Not entirely sure that's it, as I had the issue both with and without intense blast, and on different versions of ERA, which didn't cause issues on other ROMs, or earlier ViperOne releases.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostryder12:
Has this issue been spoken about in the Viper M8 thread? I ask because since with our M7 devices and the Sense 6 is a port, could this be causing the spotty mic problems?

I have not been subject to this issue... Yet.

As far as some people not being affected at all and others may be a combination of the port and assembly plants. HTC had assembly plants in different countries and the parts come from different manufacturers.

I'm glad you started this thread cuz I'd like to find the answer & help other users too.

(I'm not a dev, just a user passing forward what I've learned)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrigon:
I wonder if it might be related to the microphones, as htc only used the super good hdr microphones on the earlier builds, and switched to an inferior type after.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuffMcBigHuge:
I'm assuming that the requirements for the spotty microphone are a Sense 6-based ROM (i.e. ViperOne 6.x) and IntenseBlast installed. Could also be related to the microphone hardware.

There are also a few levels of IntenseBlast, I believe the Maximium and Ultimate Edition are the culprits, since the original edition has been shown to work. I'm guessing (I'm no dev, just a tester), that the addon disables the microphone due to power requirements to the speakers. Undervolting wouldn't help, but could be certainly related a short or cut off of power to the microphone hardware. That is why a reboot temporarily fixes the issue until it starts again. The mic seems to work fine by booting into SafeMode, further demonstrating how a mod on boot is causing the issue. However, I'm not entirely sure how IntenseBlast works, but I'm sure it contains a boot level script that doesn't run in SafeMode.

All I know is that uninstalling it fixed my problem so far. If I get it back, I would be sure to update this thread. Thanks for the insight everyone.

Edit: I tried out my luck and reflashed IntenseBlast Maximum edition... and my mic seems to be working fine. Seems that uninstalling it the first time coincidentally caused my microphone to work fine after reboot. I guess we can rule out IntenseBlast... and say that this problem is completely random... and is fully restored by rebooting the device countless times... until it cuts out again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockwentz:
Have you found a solution?

I'm having the same issue and it's really driving me crazy.

Is it possible that the problem is caused by HTC Speak mod from Venom team?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrigon:
Not currently.

It won't be the speak mod, as I don't use it, and had the issue.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuffMcBigHuge:
I went ahead, backed up my user apps with titanium backup, wiped my data, and reflashed ViperOne 6.1. Haven't seen the problem since.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightf0x_007:
i have the same settings as your's in the 1st post , im suffering now from this issue but what i noticed in my phone is that when i reboot the mic works as i open voice recorder and record and it works but when i use any app which access the mic like phone , viber the mic stops working
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuffMcBigHuge:
Yes, that seemed to be the issue. When using the mic for the first time in any app that requires it, it works, but then any subsequent apps will not be able to access the mic thereafter.

A full factory reset and reflash is suitable to fix the issue. Did you dirty flash from 5.8.0?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightf0x_007:
no i wiped system and data partitions , then clean installed 6.1
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightf0x_007:
reflashed rom , restored my apps and mods again this issue appeared i have feeling it is concerned with either xposed modules or the kernel

now wiping and reinstalling again for the 2nd time
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuffMcBigHuge:
Weird. What xposed modules are you using?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightf0x_007:
gravitybox , subsense of elementalx kernel , ice cube of ice cave xperia apps mod , halo floating window , fix for halo floating window , mutliwindow sidebar , sense 6 toolbox , expanded notifications + few other modules but not enabled
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockwentz:
Reflashed rom and the mic is working properly for a week so far.

Perhaps the problem is from Project era; because I only flashed it along with IntenseBlast and HTC speak when I had the problem.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuffMcBigHuge:
Xposed is not the culprit. I was using none of those mods when I had the problem.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightf0x_007:
yes , i confirm it now zeroinfinity project era soundmod is causing this problem at least on my phone

wiped my device , reinstalled rom, kernel, mods, app, xposed mods., all have no issues but last thing i flashed is the soundmod which caused my mic to stop working , hopefully just before i flashed the soundmod i backed up my device just restored and everything now works

i will inform zeroinfinity cause i really need his soundmod:fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Holy S*** ... you have a Frankenstein phone ...how do you ever figure it out when things aren't working
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightf0x_007:
hahahhahaha , i blame things which is concerned to my problem so i thought its either xposed mods or sound mods and at the end i noticed that it is caused by soundmod
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuffMcBigHuge:
Seems to be an issue with project era, rather than viper one. Some of you have experienced the problem with other sense 6 roms, correct?

I did not flash project era after my factory reset, and ask has been well for a week now.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyTRK:
I had this problem last week when I tried out the mod. The mic went out in around an hour later. I'm lucky if it lasts that long after a reboot. I gave up and restored a backup, now I am gonna try it again.

I have blue Sprint HTC one m7

ViperOne 6.1.0

Same problem~!

Hi

I've had the same problem with the earlier version (6.1) and also happens when switching from regular phone call to viper or skype and vice versa. only way I would be able to use my mic again is to reboot (before booting I couldn't make a regular phone call once I made the switch).

Description of the problem: I can hear the other person on the line, but he/she can't hear me.

Installed Viperone 6.2.1, problem was did not show up the start, then it creeped up.

installed IntenseBLAST_UNINSTALL.zip., seemed to work for a few days, then it happened again, but now I have to make regular phone calls twice as the first outgoing call is always with mic is off.

Any ideas?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuffMcBigHuge:
It was acknowledged by ZeroInfinity that the microphone bug is caused by his sound mods. Not necessarily IntenseBlast, but the entire Project Era. Version 18 is said to fix the lingering issue, so try it out and see whether the problem still persists!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexeyteterin:
Hi, guys!

I have NO Project Era installed on my phone, but have the same microphone bug!

HTC one m7u

Stock 5.11.401.10 rooted

ElementalX 14.12

Radio 4T.27.3218.14_10.33C.1718.01D

TWRP 2.6.3.3

Seems to me the bug caused by ElementalX kernel, because there was no problem with the stock kernel.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuffMcBigHuge:
That might be a different issue altogether. Resort back to the stock kernel if need be.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FinGerS o FuDgE:
I have pretty much the same problem.

My mods are listed in sig, but same ViperOne/ElementalX etc. Flashed ProjectEra v19.1 and when flashing it it does state that it has the microphone fix. However since installing it a few days ago the mic has stopped working. Can't make any kind of voice call through any apps nor through the voice recorder. Booted to recovery and flashed again and reverted back to stock settings and the mic came back. Thought I try again the mods again and flashed IntenseBLAST & PschyoRealism and tested the mic and it worked.

Now it's gone again after a day or two later, and after reverting back to stock settings through recovery it's not made any difference this time :(

Going to have to try the wipe and ViperOne re-install....

[Samsung Gear Fit] mhonard:
I really didn't know where to put this thread since it covers two different devices I have tried. I did want to point out though why I prefer the Gear FIt over the Gear Neo and share my confusion why they are different from a notification point of view.

The Gear Fit provides more complete incoming preview notifications on the screen (even in vertical mode) then the Gear Neo provides. The gear Neo shows a few words (very small) and then requires you to tap the screen multiple times, once to open notifications,and 2nd to open the folder the notification is included in, and perhaps a third time to open the notification itself.

With all the real estate on the fit Neo I can't understand why this is so. I keep thinking I have a setting wrong but everything I try and ends up with the same result. Does anyone have any explanation? The new gear was supposed to have improve notifications. Hardly seems so.

guy's i'm using a Bravo here in Pakistan, its on 2.2.1 i've rooted with recovery, the issue is that everytime i flash another rom it asks for the "input network pin" prompt and i got no signals and no network, no one can unlock the phone here, but yes on froyo i've got my network, thankfully i restored a backup that i made and i get my network back... any one can help me get my phone fully unlocked so i can flash other roms other than froyo?

I would move this topic from Bravo Android Development over to Bravo General because there is where all of the Q&A topics should go. Just my suggestion, tho.
[Bravo Android Development] juancollado2003:
yes this should be moved, but answering your question [MENTION=2658307]jafferkhan[/MENTION], it happened to me before, it is because you bought an cheap unlock code, everytime you flash it, it will ask for the unlock code, buy the code from another server, I know one that worked for me before, or try direct unlock with sigma key, all this methods are paid services
[Bravo Android Development] jafferkhan:
hey juan, thanks for the prompt response, you guys have helped me understand a lot about this phone, yes you're right, i think i will need to get it unlocked, but the entire phone cost me less than 15 dollars here where i am, and i know that it's been softunlocked, to run on 2.2.1 which is why when i upgrade it, it won't unlock, if you can, how to soft unlock it on CM7.2? so i will keep it on that only and it stays unlocked to use it on that :confused:
[Bravo Android Development] jasonmerc:
I don't think you could soft unlock this because there is no soft unlock for the Bravo yet like there is for the Defy. Yes, I did suggest you try the Defy soft unlock as a last resort thru PM but it didn't work. Juan seems to know more about this than I do, even I had no idea there was a difference between normal unlock codes and "cheap" ones that only work once. If anything, just find a ROM you would be comfortable staying on and buy another one of those cheap one time use unlock codes Juan talked about in his previous post. I know in my country I have seen cheap unlock codes go for around 2 US Dollars but I don't know how that would translate to Pakistan currency.
[Bravo Android Development] juancollado2003:
Well [MENTION=2658307]jafferkhan[/MENTION] there is not free unlock way for mb520, do you have any web store where I can buy a mb520 by 15usd?
[Bravo Android Development] jasonmerc:
If you are interested there is a used Motorola Bravo that is about 55 USA dollars on Amazon (and there's a new version for about 80 USA dollars). It is locked to Consumer Cellular, but it is running 2.2.2 Froyo which a lot of Motorola Bravo developers REALLY REALLY want. You see, most Motorola Bravo phones only run Android 2.2.1 but ONLY CONSUMER CELLULAR VERSIONS RUN ANDROID 2.2.2 SO FINDING ONE WITH 2.2.2 IS VERY RARE AND VERY SOUGHT AFTER. Here is a link to the Amazon product page:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846

EDIT: I actually made a mistake. The one for 50 USA dollars is actually not used, it is new as well.

If you were to get this and it is running 2.2.2 Froyo as its Android version, me and the rest of the Motorola Bravo fans out there would ask you to first perform a system dump of all the Android 2.2.2 files before replacing the Android version with another ROM. To see what I am talking about with the whole Android 2.2.2 on Motorola Bravo thing (and to learn how to perform a system dump as well) take a look at this thread here:

[MENTION=5006327]jasonmerc[/MENTION] 55usd is too high, you can buy an atrix by 60
[Bravo Android Development] jasonmerc:
It was the lowest price I have seen for this phone anywhere. He told me he bought his phone in Pakistan where he is, and he said he bought it off of some guy and not on an online service like Amazon. So when it comes to buying one where you are (Santo Domingo) an online service might be your only easy option to buying a phone.

When i receive or make a phone call over the parrot 3100. TTN5.1 lags. I am like 500 meters behind un my current realtime position.

I also installed the VjVobulis. With AG open, for ttn instructions over the speaker, the position on the map is constantly of.

I overclocked my m3000. No difference. I heard about different BT stacks, just don't have a clue how it works or makes a different.

Anyone has an idea what could be the solution.

Is this a hardware thing, sw, connection.
