Okay, after flashing again and applying the boot patcher, everything works fine. Looks like the problem is somehow caused by the encryption?
[HTC One A9] The_scam:
It wouldn't be caused by that, try changing your APN then reboot or put in airplane mode.
[HTC One A9] scott8281:
I've not tried it encrypted but I can verify that 12/12 and 12/13 worked for me (but I use tbe boot patcher every time.

Off topic but I'd also like to add that whoever put these 3 options on the same side so close together is an asshole. Is this driving anyone else crazy? I constantly keep adding people unintentionally while trying to simply reply.
[HTC One A9] eliah94:
It has to be caused by that. I tried it several times the last two days. Applying the boot image patch correctly made it work.

And of course I tried to change APN, reboot several times, switch airplaine mode on and off, removed my SIM,...
[HTC One A9] Xopez:
Would be nice
[HTC One A9] Nuroxy:
I'm gonna try it 15 minutes later.
[HTC One A9] Nuroxy:
Turned back to 14.1 . First time I insert sim card after startup and phone calling working well then Titanium backup root permission error with magisk tried everything(Other applications like greenify, root browser, L speed worked with root) and cant solve it then I format data in twrp but this time Titanium backup worked and phone calling errors again :) Sorry for my english.
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
In this moment, had you even formatted data, or just upgraded from an earlier release of LOS 15.1 without SIM card inserted during this step?
[HTC One A9] Nuroxy:
Format, wiped everything(system,internal storage,data etc.) before installation.
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
So after that, you formatted data again, and the call bug appeared again? I'll try with Namaless's method in previous reply later. This bug shouldn't exist on an official release of LOS…

Our dev probably doesn't use it to have GSM call anymore or always do a full wiping before installing, thus he doesn't think it a common severe issue. ?
[HTC One A9] Nuroxy:
;)

Yes. I formatted data again because of titanium backup root error(reflash magisk or reinstall app didn't work). This time titanium work call bug again :(
[HTC One A9] solved:
what is this "call bug" u talk about?
[HTC One A9] Nuroxy:
Stucked on ending call screen and no incoming calls. Someone can call you but you can't see.
[HTC One A9] solved:
yeah just had this "bug" , try to

restart, disable wlan , rescan for cellular network , set to automatic

worked for me, now i see incoming calls again.
[HTC One A9] AceNik:
Hey Guys,

I've tried this rom in the previous version ie. 21st & 28th,

Installed GAPPs micro. Here's my steps for anyone wanting to test this further:

1. Whenever you restart phone, select network will always be on "Automatic" and mode can be any 2G, 3G or 4G/LTE

2. Initially while ROM is still settling down all works fine such as outgoing call and Incoming call both work fine.

Except hanging up with End call red button on screen. Power button to end call works fine instead.

3. Once ROM has settled somewhere around 10-15 mins, now once try incoming call the opposite person will hear the call go through but your phone will not have any notification, even the screen won't turn on.

The outgoing call will work but same steps as point 2, just the power button will not work.

4. Power button end call will need to be turned off in setting since it will otherwise not allow the long press for restart otherwise.

5. Network selection will now show manual instead of automatic on its own and it will not allow to search any network.

6. Tried the *#*#4636#*#* mode as well works fine in phone startup mode but post 10-15 minutes won't work.

7. Many people wrote earlier could be an issue with the GAPPs framework as well but I feel someone will need to confirm the same, if installing Pico with the above steps works.

8. Some people mentioned about contacts app being disabled doesn't work with that.

9. Some mentioned about installing google dialer from app store and disabling the pre-installed dialer and making the google dialer default and granting permissions, still doesn't work.

All symptoms are same irrespective and points 1-5 are always happening. It's a ROM issue only and I had found a bug on lineage OS as well which I need to locate and paste here.

Thank You
[HTC One A9] Namaless:
Hi guys for the latest rom I don't know, in this day's I need the phone so I cannot try, in this weekend i try again and post what happens. Thanks all
[HTC One A9] solved:
so i narrowed it down to a "wlan / deep sleep" issue .. i only get this "call bug" when i have wlan activated and the phone goes into deep sleep, any call from there doesnt go throught

but with disabled wlan i don't get those issue / bug.

anyone can try this out, to verify?
[HTC One A9] Namaless:
I still testing before time I write before, for a moment I tested only upgrade from 14.1, all bugs still, now still testing a clear install, give me time to test :)
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
You'd reminded me with the most important points. ?

First, when I reboot into safe mode, all works perfectly. Other devices like Google Pixel also had even faced this dialer bug.

https://support.google.com/pixelphone/forum/AAAAb4-OgUsy-qZr1G8ZDw/?hl=by

Second, I used the nano version of OpenGApps since LOS 14.1, and I converted it to pico version just 2 hours ago. I wiped system and both cache and ART cache, then flash ROM(0528), Magisk(16.0), boot patcher and OpenGApps pico(0527). There's nothing changed.

Third, if safe mode can solve the bug, it probably means LOS 15.1 conflicting with a certain installed app. So I put my installed apps below. (See attachments)

Fourth, in fact, I guess Google Dialer Framework is the suspect. However, it's not an installed app so that it won't be disabled by safe mode. Without safe mode, like I just finish a new installation of LOS 15.1, the dialer is similar to be normal but not. Though I can hang up normally in a few while (mentioned by AceNik), the duration time is not working on InCall UI, and InCall UI only shows "calling".

Conclusion, we need somebody to test on other devices with LOS 15.1 and OpenGApps, checking it's a device bug, an OpenGApps bug, an LOS 15.1 bug or even an Android 8.1 bug. In addition to this big problem, the non-working charging/low-battery LED seems to be much less severe. ?
[HTC One A9] solved:
so i did a clean install yesterday with opengapps full , let the phone on standby the whole night until now and called it .. no problems .. with DISABLED wlan

i really think it is a issue with wlan / deep sleep
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
But, with safe mode and enabled Wi-Fi, all the dialer troubles went away… ?

Maybe with normal boot and enabled Wi-Fi, it may download (auto-update) something which breaks dialer? For sure this culprit is under data partition so that it can be disabled by safe mode.

Edited:

Hey guys, I've found the lesion. Let's remove Google Hangouts! All the disasters seems to be caused by it. After removing it, I've made my InCall UI great again.

Edited 2:

Okay, now I've been in a new situation. Dialer is only great again at the first call after booting up. After that, it s**ks again.

Edited 3:

Currently it's likely unrelated to Hangouts, but related to a certain data app or process. Dialer works fine just in a very short time after booting up, then goes wrong again. The only truth is, safe mode can block the lesion.
[HTC One A9] solved:
no no no .. why did they removed the A9 from 14.1 .. 15.1 isn't even working right now .. stupid move

does anyone have the latest nightly for 14.1 ? i missed it to download

edit : thank god found the link ..

https://download.lineageos.org/hiaeuhl
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
Do you directly downgrade to LOS 14.1 from 15.1 (only install 14.1 and GApps 7.1 over LOS 15.1), or do a new installation?

I also wanna downgrade but don't want a new installation. :(
[HTC One A9] solved:
Sorry but you can't just downgrade .. that doesn't work.

you have to reinstall it
[HTC One A9] itsabrick:
Is there any will to make OTA updates working?
[HTC One A9] solved:
no, it never worked with CM nor Los 14.1 .. so don't expect it to work with 15.1
[HTC One A9] itsabrick:
I‘m sure in worked with CM and the older Firmware 1.xx
[HTC One A9] solved:
not on this phone ;) problem is the bootloader and encrypted partitions
[HTC One A9] aey1k94:
Just sharing what’s to come... will be welcoming a new custom rom to this community soon! Currently have it compiling and it’s at 10% with no errors so far! I know I’m a new user to XDA , but I’ve been doing it since the nexus 4 days!! Will share when it’s completed compiling!
[HTC One A9] AceNik:
Great will wait for the new ROM,

Anyone tried the latest nightly & checked the call issue? Both incoming & outgoing after deep sleep?
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
No, both call issue and battery light issue are still there. :P

Actually after reading the changelog, I had got these informations.
[HTC One A9] :
I have just installed and tested lineage-15.1-20180606-nightly-hiae-signed.zip.

In first boot it still goes into bootloop but boots fine after pressing VolUp+Power after a while.

The call issue seems to be fixed! :o

I was able to call another phone and the red end-call button works fine now.

And I had friends and family test-call me and the phone received the call and had good voice quality.

Battery light when charching is still broken, though.

Hope you guys find the time to test it, too :)

EDIT: OK, I take it all back. I did another test call from another phone and this time the phone didn't take the call and didn't ring. So it seems to work for a little while but then stops. And since this seems to be completely random I'm going back to 14.1 for now.
[HTC One A9] solved:
the call issues is a deep sleep / wlan thing .. and until this isnt patched .. not touching los again :( sadly
[HTC One A9] AceNik:
I do not know if devs at LOS are aware about this bug?

Does anyone have access to them? I'm signed up on their IRC network but there is a process it seems to publish a bug
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
The official IRC seems to be never working.

I had reported bugs before but got no any response.

And this thread isn't original-posted by our current dev, he may not notice what we are discussing. (but I had tagged him once…)

If the issue still exists for the next few weeks, I'd like to write an email to him for SOS. ?
[HTC One A9] :
Well, back in the Cyanogenmod-days it was explicitly stated that they don't accept bug-reports for nightly-builds. But I think we should contact our dev and tell him that here are a few people willing to test the latest nightlies and hopefully give useful information/feedback :)
[HTC One A9] aey1k94:
I know I haven’t posted about it in a few days.. and the last build I did failed at 80%... but today I had time to correct the error and to try compiling another build for this phone again.

I just hope you guys will like what I’m bringing to this amazing device!
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
Is it a stock based or an AOSP/LineageOS based ROM?

Will it be an Oreo release without dialer bug and unstable "automatically select network" bug? ?
[HTC One A9] aey1k94:
Yeah well it was based on Oreo using LineageOS but after reading the issues present with Oreo I figured it wouldn’t be stable enough... so now I’m making it a nougat based rom until lineage fixes its issues with Oreo !! So it will be a bit till I can compile again
[HTC One A9] Tommmii:
Keep us posted !
[HTC One A9] :
Has anyone tested lineage-15.1-20180611-nightly-hiae-signed.zip, yet and can confirm that the call-bug is fixed by now? :confused:

Ok, I can dream, can I? :D
[HTC One A9] solved:
read the changelog and you can answere the question yourself

https://www.lineageoslog.com/15.1/hiae
[HTC One A9] :
Why does it give weekly nightlies from 15.1 lineage, the incoming calls are not working, that is a main feature what isn't functional. For 14.1 intervigil stopped the builds because the camera wasn't working and now it gives unfunctional builds, i don't understand that.
[HTC One A9] :
I agree, if intervigil is aware of the bug there should be a warning next to the nightly builds stating that incoming calls won't come through in the current builds. Or maybe he doesn't know and we should write him a kind e-mail: Ethan Chen <intervigil@gmail.com>

But how do you know that 14.1 was stopped because of the camera not working? Where did you get that info from?

[HTC One A9] :
The incoming call bug still exist, and when you want to end a call the app hangs.

[MENTION=1815755]intervigil[/MENTION]

I have made a Log that was recorded during an incoming call, maybe it's worth a little bit:

https://pastebin.com/dpW41qF4
[HTC One A9] :
But does he even read your post? Ethan Chen <intervigil@gmail.com>
[HTC One A9] :
I have sent him a mail, hopefully he will get it now :)
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
I feel confused, what are the data apps installed in those who have the dialer issue? Everyone here has installed the modules like Magisk or Xposed? Any other people also get the working dialer and incall function only with safe mode?

[HTC One A9] :
I wouldn't mind having another 14.1 with the latest security patches and a crappy camera app ;)

yeah me2 .. but they already kicked the a9 out of 14.1
[HTC One A9] AceNik:
Did the original Dev get pissed about something? It's just one bug holding us back, would be a shame to not have Oreo after coming so far
[HTC One A9] solved:
well, it is one major bug .. i mean what's the meaning of a smartphone if u can't take or make calls .. pretty useless
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
I don't think he gets pissed, though somebody was impolite here and asked him to rebuild the stock DAC with open source. But he keeps maintaining until last week, doesn't he? Actually this is related to the policy of LineageOS:

https://github.com/LineageOS/charter/blob/master/device-support-requirements.md

Every device which wants to have "nightly (weekly)" builds should be enough for daily usage, it means no major issues. The biggest question is, why does the dialer work fine with safe mode only? Our Dev couldn't reproduce our bug on his device, and he couldn't find what's wrong from our log file. So we should stop nightly release, until the bug gets fixed or at least we find out the reason it happens.
[HTC One A9] AceNik:
https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/LineageOS/hudson/+/218574/

Check out Robert's comments he could reproduce by installing opengapps.
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
Then... it means Robert has found the lesion?

If he is right, how is the issue explained that it works in safe mode only? Isn't GApps package all installed under system partition? Ethan had mentioned about that he didn't use any flashable zip of GApps, he installed by himself, maybe Robert goes approach the truth.
[HTC One A9] itsabrick:
Deleted
[HTC One A9] AceNik:
So can someone try installing gapps manually? Or first only install lineage and confirm that there is no bug with the ROM?

Cause I had done my test with ROM + Micro Gapps
[HTC One A9] solved:
i'm already on it, trying since i got up today .. 10 hrs. ago or so oO different gapps .. same issue , so i'm on Lineage only right now, need some time for standby test (deep sleep) and see if it still works.

so far, lineage only without any gapps (google dialer framework) works fine, without any problems .. yet

Edit.

Soaw, tried it .. Lineage only (without any Gapps), still the Issue of the "Deep Sleep" Calls not coming throught. After a certain time in Standby, if u get call there is no reaction from the phone. So it seems it is more than just a g dialer framework thing.

[HTC One A9] :
Well, the last build that I've tested was lineage-15.1-20180606-nightly. And since I don't use any gapps at all it was just a clean lineage install. At first I could make phone calls and receive phone calls. Even ending a call worked fine. So I thought the bug was fixed and put the phone away. Then after about 15-20 minutes I wanted to try again and called the device from another phone and it didn't receive the call and didn't ring. So in my opinion talking about gapps and other apps that were installed during the installation process of lineage might be misleading since this bug occurred on a clean lineage install. The idea that it might be related to wlan/deepsleep might be a better hint. I really hope we can pin this down :o
[HTC One A9] solved:
yeah, i mean the dialer from lineage works .. without any problems, no problems to place or take a call .. or the hang up screen. the thing is just the "deep sleep" issue.
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
Did you use Magisk or other module like Xposed?
[HTC One A9] solved:
only latest magisk beta
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
Well… I think there's a needing to do a test with clean install and without Magisk. If there's nobody able to test, I'll do it after a month.
[HTC One A9] solved:
If u can't run Lineage without Magisk it's pretty useless. Sorry, but unless you want to get stucked with an encrypted drive .. there is no other choice.
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
I can use this attachment zip file for decryption, the install order is "ROM -> Magisk -> patcher -> GApps".

Yes, I know Magisk also decrypting, it's just my behavior.

In my opinion, the deep-sleep feature won't work with normal boot only, it may also work with safe mode (long-press "reboot" in power menu then press "ok").

You had tested it without GApps and the bug was still there, so GApps wouldn't be the reason probably.

Therefore, I'd like to check if Magisk causes the issue, it creates a virtual partition over data partition as my comprehension.

You can try with safe mode, dialer will be almost fine there.
[HTC One A9] itsabrick:
When I was using my S5 Mini there was an App to avoid Deep sleep State. Leads to more Battery Drain though.

But I cant remember the apps name

Edit

Nevermind... the App Is called wifi keep alive and prevents wifi from Honig to sleep.
[HTC One A9] :
For me the incoming calls aren't working directly after booting my phone, so deep-sleep won't be the problem. Outgoing calls only work one time then it doesn't work. So 15.1 is pretty useless for me, haven't tried safe mode.

My phone is a hieuhl with 2.17.401.2 firmware, the carrier is Aldi Talk (O2).
[HTC One A9] solved:
did u installed any gapps?
[HTC One A9] :
Yes aroma package, but even with the original phone app it dosn't work.
[HTC One A9] AceNik:
So I'm guessing we won't get oreo at all?

I hope we do get the call issue fixed
[HTC One A9] prog-amateur:
Hello, I have bought the HTC One A9 a week ago. I live in Europe so I have flashed the official hiaeuhl (International GSM) version, which is no more maintained by Lineageos Team. It contains a few bugs (ringtone, unstable wifi, OpenGapps not working, etc.).

On the other side, I see that the GSM US (hiaeul) is on version 15.1.

Is there any possibility to switch from hiaeuhl to hiaeul (and is it the same baseband ?).

If not, is there any unofficial LineageOS for hiaeuhl version please ?

Thank you very much.
[HTC One A9] itsabrick:
Since LOS 15 it Is for both versions of the a9. You shouldnt use 15 because you wont be able to receive calls
[HTC One A9] Quelquunmaisqui:
In 14.1 times, hiaeul and hiaeuhl had 2 different build but today (15.1) it's the same build for these 2 devices. So 15.1 build can be installed on hiaeul and hiaeuhl however I dont't recommend it because of calling issues. Builds are stoped until a fix.
[HTC One A9] itsabrick:
Is there anyone seriously working on that issue?
[HTC One A9] prog-amateur:
That's what I can call a quick feedback ! Thank you both. I was reading the latest pages, I understood what you mean :

hiaeuhl is on 14.1 with issues but no "critical" issues like call issues.

hiaeul on 15.1 can be used for hiaeuhl, however there is call issues.

I understood also that the hiaeuhl is no more maintained bu the team (somebody here have said something like "bye bye LineageOS for A9").

I can be patient and wait for a fix. But just to be sure, could you to confirm that somebody is working in this fix or, by experience, you think that it would be abandoned ?

Thank you again.
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
In fact, hiaeul and hiaeuhl are unified as hiae of LOS 15.1, they become the same model for LOS.

Currently there's nobody having idea about the real lesion.

Our dev can't reproduce the issue, and he mentioned about that he didn't know what Magisk is (a.k.a. he didn't use it).

And in my test, the call issue didn't exist in safe mode (long-press "restart" in power menu).

Thus I will do another test with/without Magisk, but not now, coz I need my phone in the coming days till 2 weeks later.

If I (or anyone else) can prove the issue caused by Magisk and not our ROM, our dev may probably continue the build on the nightly server.

Before that, nobody knows whether our LOS 15.1 will be reopened or abandoned.
[HTC One A9] :
I don't use magisk and had the outgoing/incoming call problem.

Intervigil told me per E-Mail that he will activate Los 14.1 builds for hiaeul/hiaeuhl in a few weeks, he has only little time for do some housekeeping so it would last a bit until there are new builds.
[HTC One A9] ferotg:
On my phone gapps make a difference:

With gapps installed, i had trouble with boot loop (even had to remove the battery) and was unable to end calls.

Just tried fresh install w/o gapps, seems to work (at least for now...).
