Some Plantronics BT Headset bug

Hi, everyone! I'm on b21 now and I'm faced a strange bug. Recently I've purchaced a Plantronics M75 BlueTooth headset. It does pair OK, but when I try to make a call the beeps and voice in the Headset sound distorted. It is as if the one I'm speaking with has his lungs filled with helium and is hicking. It is so only if the transmission is via HSP/HFP profile (telephone conversation), if I use the headset to listen to music (A2DP profile) - the sound is OK. I've tested the headset with Vizio VP800 and my wife's Xperia S with stock firmware - it works flawlessly. I also tried a Plantronics M55 of my friend - it sounds exactly the same as my M75 (with distortions). I also have an old Plantronics ML12 that is BT 2.0 only (not 3.0 as M75/M55) and it works OK with all my phones (Vizio VP800, XS b21, XS stock). As there's almost nothing to tune in the BT connection, it seems that there's a bug in BT of b21. Can anyone test it with some other (or similar) headsets supporting BT3.0? Thanks in advance!

Hi, azteched! My post № 746. The same problem with the headset SBH80. I have not yet received a response.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] azteched:
So it seems to be a common problem for BT3.0 devices... Did you have this trouble with b20?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hobo Ab:
I flashed at once b21 after stock.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hobo Ab:
Hey! Developers!

I just wonder, nobody except two Russians does not use a bluetooth headset 3.0?

[MENTION=5174810]feskysvk[/MENTION] you have to flash supersu for root .if u have not flashed supersu at the time of rom flash then you can flash any kernel by flashtool which includes twrp or cwm and then flash supersu.zip.Again flash the boot.img from the lollipop rom you have flashed before otherwise you cant boot the rom successfully.After that follow the steps below for recovery

1. Download TWRP version 2.8.4.1. from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/nozomi

2. Rename the downloaded file to fotakernel.img and place the file on sd card...the path should be s(Storage/sdcard)

2. Install terminal emulator app from play store to Mobile

3. open Terminal emulator and type the below commands correctly

su (press enter)

dd if=/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 (press enter)

Optional: if you dont want to flash other kernel which includes twrp or cwm for flash supersu then download Kingo Android root Software http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root/download.htm to pc and root your mobile and follow the steps above for recovery

After installing nAOSProm-5.1-b21, not able to enter recovery mode

Hi,

I have installed nAOSProm-5.1-b21 on my Xperia S. I did so obviously by entering into recovery mode. Now that i want to install GAPPS, I am unable to enter recovery mode. I have tried almost everything.

-Pressing Volume UP-DN button repeatedly while turning ON device.

-Pressing Power ON button + Volume DN button while turning ON.

-Installing ROM manager manually & choosing recovery mode option.

-Choosing recovery option from Lolipop power off menu.

Please suggest as I am not able to link my accounts or download any applications.

I tried the above options with USB debugging ON.

Recovery

Download the latest version of TWRP from here. Rename downloaded file as 2850.img and place it in the root of sdcard. Run terminal apk and type the following command: su + enter for granting root rights for terminal apk.

Then dd if=/sdcard/2850.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 (where sdcard/2850.img means path and name of the downloaded file). That's it

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] raashul:
I have not used Terminal apk as yet. Can I install it using the following method, which I used for previous version of TWRP...

Step by Step Guide to install TWRP on Xperia S LT26i:

First of all rename the downloaded file to boot.elf

Copy the downloaded file to Fastboot folder or Minimal ADB and fastboot folder (Whichever you are using)

Now turn off Xperia S

Plug in USB Cable in USB port of your PC

Now hold volume up button on Xperia S and plug in USB cable in mobile’s port

It will put the device in fastboot mode

Now in the Command Window Prompt, type fastboot flash boot boot.elf and press Enter

It will flash the recovery on Xperia S

Now type fastboot reboot and press Enter

Once your device turns on, unplug the USB cable

Now you can enter TWRP recovery anytime by pressing volume up or down buttons while it is booting up.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] berda77:
Re

No you can't cause the way you did that's for flashing a kernel with embedded TWRP recovery. TWRP recovery is not implemented in 5.xx kernels so you have to flash TWRP recovery in Fota partition using Terminal apk which can be enabled in the phone dev option

Alright, so after trying to Reboot into Bootloader from TWRP 2.0.8.1 it simply reboots into the recovery itself after some seconds. What is there to be done?

Right, so I've bricked my phone. I cannot install anything from TWRP 2.8.0.1.

Oh and by the way the ROM I tried to flash was Carbon ROM since I can't flash NAOSP B10 (since I can't install boot.img because it won't boot into recovery) and that's the only ROM I have on my phone. I'm now trying to ADB push a random ROM. Hopefully it works.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Did You unlock Your bootloader? If yes, then follow the procedure here.

He is the developer, You cannot ask Him to do such trivial things, You can request Him at the most.

Follow the procedure here to flash Your Carbon ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AlexBurnout77:
Wow, capital H as in Him? That's new to me. Anyway, I've actually used "adb sideload" to install SlimBean JB 4.1 (the 1st ROM that I could have flashed which I had on my computer). Thanks anyway, Mirhawk.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ant_Z:
Thanks for this awesome mod)

1) Have tested HDMI on b9 and b10 on sony bravia tv) sound and video works perfectly) but have no ability to control my phone using tv's remote control (had such ability on 4.1.2 sony's native firmware). Is it possible to add this ability?

2) haven't flashed any roms for a long time. This time i flashed doomskernel to get CWM recovery. But after flashing this rom recovery dissappears. I need to flash doomskernel one more time to flash new version of this rom. Am i wrong? Is there any recovery which will not dissapear after rom flashing on Xperia S? How to install it?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
I don't think first is possible as it was specific to Sony firmwares.

To flash a recovery, follow procedure here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vordhosbnbg:
Short noob-friendly tutorial on how to flash:

List to download:

1. Flashtool

2. Stock kernel with TWRP 2.4.4.0

3. TWRP 2.8.0.1 - latest working TWRP for Xperia S

4. nASOP ROM - see xda thread

5. SuperSU v2.37

6. Google Apps for lollipop

Before starting copy the ROM, Gapps and SuperSU zips to a folder on your SD card.

Flashing the ROM:

1. Start flashtool

2. Turn off the phone, hold vol. Up and connect the phone to the PC.

3. The notification led should turn blue - this indicates that the phone is connected in fastboot. Log in flashtool should also say something appropriate.

4. Click flash button -> fastboot mode -> flash kernel -> choose stock-6.1.A.0.452-twrp-2.4.0.0.elf and flash it

5. Reboot the phone, and when you see SONY logo, press vol. Up -> TWRP recovery should start.

6. At this point the PC should recognize the phone in device manager as Android ADB Interface or something similar.

7. [OPTIONAL] The /data partition on Xperia S is 2 GB which is not sufficient for most users on lollipop. It is strongly recommended to increase it to at least 6-8 GB by following this tutorial.

8. If you have resized /data partition, you should restore /sdcard partition contents or at least put the ROM, Gapps and SuperSU zips there.

9. From TWRP pres Install and add the files in the following order: ROM, SuperSU, Gappe -> swipe to install them

10. Wipe the cache and dalivik-cache partitions and reboot.

11. First boot takes quite some time (~10 min or so) so go outside, smoke a cigarette or do some push-ups.

12. Enjoy Android Lollipop on your 2012 Xperia S.

:D

If someone encounters a problem on some of the steps please write me to update this post and also feel free to copy this and repost it where needed.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
I would suggest the steps here are more easy, since You need only ROM and its gapps. No need of flash tool and others. Also there is no need to flash Supper SU, this ROM is pre rooted.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ant_Z:
This two posts should be added using spoiler to the first post for this topic and the main topic! :o

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

I noticed that this rom is not so smooth and quick as native firmware. Apps start too long some times and i receive lags. Does every one experience this :confused: ? Or i shall increase data partition or smth? Or it could be improved in future?

But i like it even if it lags) :D

First 24 hours with b10

I flashed b10 with OC Kernel and had a very good run with b10 for first 24 hours.

No "miscellaneous" battery drain or Launcher redraws. No issues really.

Just that I lost GSM signals for a few minutes. May be the operator issue.

Battery stayed on for 10 hours with moderately heavy use on 3G (no WiFi) which is fair considering its a 2 year old battery.

So, good one.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BattlePizza:
Some things that made me freak out and switch to the pure AOSP ROM:

When I installed nAOSP it was in b08. I followed every step in the instruction. I have a /data partition of a custom size (8GB). When I flashed it everything was fine. Then after a few hours things stopped working. I get popups showing that various system apps had stopped working. I did a reboot and then the phone went into a bootloop. Reflashing the kernel and ROM didn't help and I was forced to flash the stock Sony ROM and found that I have lost everything in /sdcard due to the ftf repartitioning my phone. Luckily I was able to recover the data but is anyone else having this problem? Has it been fixed by the new versions? Can't really afford to mess with 20gigs of data in that phone but really want some of its features that pure AOSP doesn't have xD

I think problem of apps force close after hours of usage is in AOSP too. Rather it is present in Nexus too. Google hasn't corrected it yet. Search for memory leak in Android L.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
If you face any problem and want to go back to stock JB you can download and flash the base of Envi V6 Rom.

Very Low Device Volume, Xperia S, LT26i (Lollipop 5.1.1)

Hi Mickybart,

First of all i would like to thank you for bringing this ROM to us.

I am really enjoying it. It is very good for daily use. It is stable as compared to other ROM's.

I do have a request, if you can share your valuable time in resolving this problem.

- Lollipop custom ROM's for Xperia S including your's, gives very low call volume/low device volume/low speaker volume as compared to stock ROM JB 4.1.2 but sound is good in earphones. One can barely hear touch sounds or click sounds. Even if i am playing a song, it's output level through speaker is very low.

- I would request you to do something about this this. I tried many things from 3rd party apps(like poweramp, Viper4android) to changing settings in mixer_path.xml or build.prop, but nothing worked.

- We are getting very low device volume in speaker(loudspeaker, call speaker(incoming & outgoing both) etc.

PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, I HAVEN'T GOT ANY SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM.

Thanks & Regards

G21M

I also have the same problem of wxl104, I have these headphones Sony SBH80 Stereo Bluetooth. I can not use it for phone calls but only to listen to the media file.

App Drawer, UI questions

Amazing ROM, there is some little glitches for me:

- TOOO big icons everywhere - resolved - in build.prop changed ro.sf.lcd_density=320 to ro.sf.lcd_density=272

- It seems there is a "reserved" space for Google search - even if Gapps pico is installed /without Google search/ I can't move widgets on the top of the screen

- This "White" theme - I can't change the app drawer background from white to anything - is it hardcoded somewhere?

- I have some proximity sensor issues - display not comes up after call ended - resolved by not starting wakeup gestures on boot and not enabling kernel options for

double tap,sweep,wake gesture and proximity sensor.

After all I have fully functional and fluid ROM, no random reboots, the FM apk is amazing - /as I'm FM radio fan - where is RDS :)

ROM bugs

Hi,

mainly I want to congratulate for the exceptional work (b21). This rom is wonderful. Even the HDMI works very well.

However:

I noticed some possible bugs:

-after a long period in airplan mode, the phone doesn't find the line or the SIM; I need to reboot.

-when I leave on the GPS after an use (ex. Maps) the GPS makes a battery drain (in fact if I switch on during use of Maps and after I switch off, this doesn't happen but in this way if I take a photo I don't have the position). In the stock rom I haven't found this problem.

-sometimes during a call (mainly during a coll finishing) if I move the phone far from my ear the screen doesn't switch on and I cannot command the phone.

-sometimes reboot with apparently no sense and other times is hot

-no Headphones icon when plugged

Thanks,

Joachim
