[Verizon HTC One (M8)] AustinML71:
I am currently having outgoing voice quality issues while using a bluetooth headset (or in car/truck bluetooth) that I am trying to nail down with both HTC and Jawbone. I'm 90% sure at this point it's an HTC issue. I purchased an HTC One M8 on Verizon a week or so ago and immediately had issues with my Jawbone ERA. Voices sounded fine on my end but my voice on the other end sounded static-ey and overly loud - almost like the mic was too hot. I tried a ton of troubleshooting steps with both Jawbone and HTC and so far the issue remains. I also took the phone back and exchanged it for a new one and the new phone has the same issue. I've now tried 5 different bluetooth devices all with the same/similar result.

I found an old HTC One (M7 I think?) thread over on Android Central that seemed to be discussing the same issue:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one/309574-anyone-else-having-bluetooth-headset-sound-quality-issues-one.html

but no solution was found and it sounds like most people there just sort of gave up.

Sorry for the long explanation but one thing I wanted to try was using a ROM with a different bluetooth stack or system to see if that might point me to an HTC software issue vs a strict hardware issue. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm fairly comfortable with installing ROMs though on my old Droid, Safestrap certainly made it easier for me.

Thanks!

I had a ridiculous static with my jaybirds so I just ended up returning the headphones and ditching Bluetooth sadly. I don't think a ROM will change it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] AustinML71:
So there's no difference in bluetooth implementations between a Sense based ROM and say an AOSP or CM based ROM?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] AustinML71:
Well, out of curiosity I s-off'd the phone, perma-rooted, and flashed TWRP. I installed the GPE ROM, the Viper ROM, and the latest nightly of Cyanogenmod. Interestingly, the CM rom seemed to have MUCH improved outgoing bluetooth voice quality. The other ROMs all had the same issue.

Does CM somehow use a different bluetooth stack or something that would cause this? Honestly, I'd stay on the CM but I actually like some of the HTC features (like the duo-camera) and not sure I'd want to give those things up. Would it somehow be possible to use CM's bluetooth solution in something like the GPE ROM or even stock?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MARKREIF:
I'm on CleanRom and I'm also extremely sensitive to Bluetooth quality issues. I'm using both a Plantronics Legend and the Bose ear pieces and I hook the device up to a Pioneer DEH-80PRS in my car. I have to say I've never had a better Bluetooth experience. No complaints - superb quality - both ends
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] AustinML71:
I'm now also on CleanRom and it is definitely better. My few tests so far weren't quite as clear as my CM tests but MUCH better than stock. This seems so strange to me. This is just a stripped down Sense ROM, like others yet a significant difference in quality. Both Viper and GPE had the same bad quality as stock. I wish I had the understanding/capability to truly root cause the issue as I'd love to have the freedom to use whichever ROM I choose. However, I do very much like CleanRom for now - the Verizon bloat on this phone was the worst I've ever had yet I do like a few of the Sense 6 features.

Hello,

while searching through the web I've found a pretty interesting letter, about releasing the ICS-Kernel-source for the HTC Desire S.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1767801

In this letter the community tried to get HTC to release their sourcecode, and finally they won and HTC did release it's source.

In my opinion we should try to make our own letter and send this to Huawei, maybee KanocX allows us to modify their letter and send this to Huawei.

Edit: I have asked KanocX and he gave me permission to use his letter as base.

Please give me review on this letter and contribute to this, so that we will have a really good letter, which we can send to Huawei.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreipaval:
I have a Nexus 5 16 GB, stock everything, never tampered.

For a few days, when I try to make a call in the stock Android dialer, a black background with a small spinning wheel in the middle appears,

then after a few seconds (~5 sec) the regular screen with the contact picture and the end call button is back, and it seems than only now the call is really made. But during the black spin wheel screen I cannot do anything and I don't think the call is going through.

I've tried clearing app data for the dialer, restarting the phone, clearing the system cache, but no success.

Did anyone else experience this?

Any advice?

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danutz68:
Hi,

The same problem appear to me two days ago in stock ROM. Searching on google result that this is an old issue and maybe is somehow related to the fact that I use bluetooth for my car audio system. Did you also use bluetooth? The reboot has no effect by the way :(

Updated GS4 to Kitkat w/ root via Safestrap method from Tom's youtube. My phone defaults to swipe lock screen. When I go to set lock screen everything is grayed out stating Turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage. PIN and Password are not grayed but I set a PIN and it doesn't prompt me to enter. I want to set at least a pattern unlock. Any advice?

GPU OC in future update ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Maybe if I figure out why it isn't working, I mean GPU OC code is implemented in the kernel, but it's not working for some reason,

will see what I can do.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] TheQwertiest:
Yay! Finally! Cyanogen, here I come! :D

TY, mate. Was waiting for this for a loooooooong time. Good job pulling it off =)

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

I'm not even sure that GPU OC works properly on Z1...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
I'm not sure about that ether, but the weird thing is that even though the same code (as the one used for Z1) is included here,

you can't even switch GPU to more that 450MHz, I mean the GPU script has all 487.5MHz / 533MHz / 600MHz OCs but they aren't showing up:confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ctap001:
Tried it with pimp my z1

Didn't work. Specifically it crashes when any setting is changed from stock.

I'm on slimkat.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] zxqw:
Running it on the latest CM11 nightly (31/5) and the phone momentarily freezes very shortly after boot before rebooting. Can't say what triggers it because it happens regardless of what I do.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] idimitro:
Great work mate. The most important for me is the support for undervolting. Is it included in the kernel?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Yes it is, but you might find it buggy (for now);)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] funiewski:
[MENTION=4800636]omarainea[/MENTION] I have tested (not so much but anyway...) with carbon and resurection roms. RR install was cleaner I hadn´t utilized kernel settings beforkrnel install. Kernel works good, no reboots have changed a lot of settings without problems, on carbon phone reboots all the time but I had changed a lot of settings before kernel install. Later I will try more clean carbon installation with pimpkernel, for now I´m going with RR rom. Great work, thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ctap001:
Can you outline the steps you took? I can't get it to work on mine both with Carbon and Slim.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
just did a clean Carbon or RR install, then boot to system, then reboot to recovery and flash the kernel without any wipes, reboot.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ctap001:
By clean you mean doing a factory reset prior?

And would it matter if I wipe partition and dalvik after flashing the kernel?

Also have you tried it with ART? My crashes only happen when I was on Dalvik
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
By clean install I mean factory reset and format /system prior, and it didn't matter to me whether I wipe dalvik after flashing the kernel or not.

also, now that you're mentioning it, I haven't tried ART on Pimped kernel yet (just Dalvik).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ctap001:
That step is always included in ROM instructions so I'm quite sure I did that. At first I thought the reboots were being caused by undervolting but even when I just changed the read-ahead in I/o settings I still get random crashes.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] diabolica:
Hello!

Does the work kernel in the kit SlimRom? If so. I would like to test it!

thx
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Nope kit SlimRom is Sony based not cm-based ROM, this kernel is for cm-based ROMs.

if you're looking for a custom kernel for kit SlimRom you can try DooMKernel, I'll release v19 soon, so wait for it and try it;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] diabolica:
THX for Info
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] funiewski:
Now, i have tested kernel with rr and carbon for almost 2 days with a lot of settings changes, oc and uv,governor changes, it's really stable, not a single reboot. Great work, I'm so grateful for custom kernel for cm based roms. Didn't havet it since i had ray. There one custom kernel for v now and this one is for omni, didn't work with cm. ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ctap001:
I did not know this. Cool story: I flashed this kernel on my phone running SlimRom. It worked until I tried to change the settings.

edit: I was referring to pimped kernel flashed while running Slimkat
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
I believe you got it wrong, because diabolica was referring to KitSlim ROM which is Sony based ROM,

and you're referring to Slimkat ROM which is CM-based ROM, they kinda have similar names so...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ctap001:
I literally just entered recovery and preparing to flash. That was a close one. Thanks, I thought KitSlim ROM was another name for Slimkat.

[MENTION=4800636]omarainea[/MENTION] i think first bug - reboot to recovery and reboot to bootloader does not work with pimp, nor on carbon or cr rom

still not a single reboot bcs of tweaking :good:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
I have implemented every code I saw on github for this feature in this kernel, but it isn't working.

I'll keep trying but I can't give you a straight answer for your question.

Yeah I've noticed that, and I suppose it is easy to fix, it is related to init script from the ramdisk, will see.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ctap001:
What ROM were you using and how did you get your settings to stick?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] funiewski:
I use carbon and c rom and there is an option in pimp my z1 app - set on boot, but i presume there is set on boot option in other apps and in rom own kernel tweak settings
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ctap001:
I tried it on carbon and pimp my z1. It crashes when I try to apply settings. Did you do anything special?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] funiewski:
it crashed for me first too, what i did was to uninstall pimp my z1(had it before pimp kernel), rebooted, than flashed kernel and after it installed pimp my z1, i had working resurection rom with pimp kernel installed before carbon, i restored carbon from nand backup

Sure this is probably a noob question and feel stupid for asking it :eek:

Can i use this kernel with a stock based ROM? i.e. kitslim? or is this ONLY for CM based ROMs?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Yes

Last update to thread content doesn't always mean there was an update when it happened

Nope, but you can use a Kernel like DooMKernel for stock based ROMs.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] mindyabiznis:
Awesome thanks for the quick response :D

I'm currently using DoomKernel anyways, i liked the look of Pimped Kernel and wanted to try it out but don't want to mess about with CM based ROMs ... I cant be arsed with the customisations right now.

It's going better than I expected actually, if you're really interested to know about Pimped Development you can check here every now and then:

https://github.com/OmarEinea/android_kernel_sony_msm8974-pimped/commits/once_again

The above one is the light Pimped version, and I compiled and tested it successfully today (almost done),

and now stays the full featured version (the old one), which might take longer, and you can check it here:

https://github.com/OmarEinea/android_kernel_sony_msm8974-pimped/commits/pimped-caf

(haven't touched it yet)

Hopefully both version will be shared publicly before next Saturday (the last day of my holiday).

Pimped Kernel Test builds are ready to be tested!

Here you have it, the first teaser of the Pimped kernel Full & Light versions,

this is a very beta build, I'll need to see some nice feedback in order to make it better ;) {maybe a working/not working list if possible}

Be aware that, light version is more stable but has less features, and it is based on the very recent work by Androguide.fr,

and the Full version is less stable but contains more features, and it is based on Androguide.fr's older work.

Both versions contains the latest CM sources until now (including .133 update)

Oh and this is kernel only, so it won't change your recovery because it doesn't contain one :p

Also I'd like to give a huge thanks to [MENTION=4819888]oshmoun[/MENTION] for his great help :)
