[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] FMAranda:
Hello!

I've manually mod the files on the latest RR Oreo (treble) and even tried some magisk module fix, but the noise cancellation persisted. I spent my entire day looking for a solution and I've ended up with nothing, lol.

If anyone got any other idea, please, share with us.

Thanks,

EDIT:

Found a solution! We have to modify both mixer_paths_mtp.xml and audio_platform_info.xml under /system/vendor/etc/

On mixer_paths_mtp.xml, you have to insert the following two lines inside the handset-mic and handset-stereo-dmic-ef sections:

<ctl name="DEC1 Volume" value="90" />
<ctl name="DEC2 Volume" value="90" />

It should look like this:

On audio_platform_info.xml, you also have to insert the following two lines at the end of the file, but before the very ending of it:

<device name="SND_DEVICE_IN_HANDSET_MIC" acdb_id="1"/>
<device name="SND_DEVICE_IN_HANDSET_STEREO_DMIC" acdb_id="1"/>

It should look like this:

These mods removed the noise cancellation in video recordings on both Snap Camera and Google Camera and also in audio recordings on stock RR's Recorder app, Easy Voice Recorder (my fav audio recorder app) and WhatsApp/Telegram voice messages. I found this solution here: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=793497&st=360#entry57205432

I'm using Ressurection Remix Oreo (latest july build). I've attached the files modified by myself. It should work on Oreo custom ROMs. IT'S NOT A FLASHABLE FILE. Extract it and replace the files on your own.

Greetings to the forum. Tried it on my Redmi 4x which has the in-call low vol mic issue and it did work better than expected. Mic vol is a bit louder than normal which is not that bad unless u speak in a noisy environment.

The main issue now is the speaker and earphone volume is lower than before and cant hear well the other person.

Is there a way to fix this? to alter some values? I dont have a rooted device.

Sweet! Could you please provide the applock apk. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Paradoxxx:
Sweet, I've actually a similar setup, except I'm just freezing apps and didn't bother flashing Gapps.

Also I'd recommend modifying key layout and use ASSIST for the key function. Having Google assistant on bixby button is dope !

If you delete Device Manager you can't access your battery stats.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MarkerBeanXDA:
Yes. I am aware of that but i don't really need it as i am having a great battery life and performace. Also, it can easily be installed back in less than a minute if i want to.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] asif4self:
I am Stock but rooted ROM, tried to flash Super GAPPS but its failed throwing ERROR 70 telling that GAPPS are already installed but in fact I haven't. Is this could be limitation due to STOCK ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MarkerBeanXDA:
I am always getting that message even with custom roms but it always proceed anyway. I also have tried flashing gapps on stock rooted rom successfully before on my S8. Maybe your gapps is corrupt or not fully downloaded.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] asif4self:
Ok, thanx for the reply, i'll try downloading again and flash, regards

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

I have tried again flashing newly downloaded gapps file but again same error. The message thrown is "insufficient storage space available in system partition. You may want to use a smaller Open GApps package or consider removing some apps using gapps-config."
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] toole:
You can. Download shortcutter, grant it necessary permissions. Add a battery tile from shortcutter to the quick settings and anytime you click on it, it takes you to the battery stats. I have also disabled device manager.

I got the "stock" gapps package and can confirm that it works on stock rooted rom.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SMARTPHONEPC:
Do you still think the V20 is worth getting in 2017 in the context of S8/+ that's here & coming Essential phone, Pixel 2s, Note 8, V30 none of which are expected to have a user replaceable battery it seems (could this be the last high end model with a user replaceable battery after the Samsung Note 4) & its current <$400 price?

So what do you still like about your V20, what don't you like & is there a best model to get for updates or other factors?:good:

My initial impressions/background: I liked the V20 when it first came out for its removable battery, expandable storage, bright IPS sharp display, fingerprint reader & power button in a very sensible location, the secondary screen & IR blaster but didn't think it was worth the $800 price without front facing stereo speakers & wasn't particularly impressed by the cameras especially front facing but now it can be had for <$400 & hate my Nexus 6P battery life at this point while loving my Samsung Note 4 quick swappable battery. I also have a Moto X Pure I got a great deal on ~18 months ago with its great front facing stereo speakers & bright IPS display & expandable storage but it's battery life also is weak without a user replaceable battery.

I will take another look at the V20 at its current price, is there are difference between unlocked http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-US996-Unlocked-v20-titan & T-Mobile http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-H918-Titan-v20 (which I could unlock if needed) with warranty & international LG V20 H990DS Unlocked International Model-No Warranty model in terms of updates or other factors because I've read that the Unlocked US996 model has not been getting updates while I'm wondering if the T-Mobile or International gets updates..?

Despite Quad DAC, I was disappointed by the V20 speaker but have since found https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HEYIPGK impressive headphone jack speaker & https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XYBWXG1 cool compact floating bluetooth waterproof speaker that will make it easier to bypass that weakness & could use another phone I have if the front facing camera continues to disappoint. I also saw some impressive V20 video optical image stabilization footage.

-Thx:cool:
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] k.dos:
I watched a lot of reviews before getting the v20. Coming from the Note 4 edge I can say I'm happy with it. I just got sick of Samsungs bloatware.

I would say if you're not an audiophile and use your camera in auto mode then there is little going for the v20
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SMARTPHONEPC:
Interesting since I have the Note 4 & love the battery swapability, I'm going to watch more video reviews before a decision. I am an audiophile so its single downward speaker was a deal breaker at it original 2x asking price compared to my Nexus 6P & Moto X Pure front facing stereo speakers but just would likely use external speakers (headphones-bluetooth speakers) with it. I'll test out the camera manual mode features when I take another look, I like options as long as it doesn't take too long to get through them.

Do you have the unlocked or a carrier model-do you care about the updates issue?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] evo4g63t:
If a removable battery is a high priority then the v20 would be worth it on that alone because I think this phone is the last of the removable battery featured in a high end phone. V30 looks to be going the way of the G6.

Really sucks I am disappointed with smart phones trend to go the non-removable, glass enclosed and stupid 30 minute water resistance.

Its an excellent phone and I think it's a better value than the G6 is.

Samsung is just bloated garbage, so much junkware I would not pick an s8. Samsung has this idea that their phones are worth more than the competition and their continued trend of increasing phone prices is something I do not support.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] k.dos:
Another nice feature is the second screen, set it to "always on" (still turns off in your pocket etc) and you can see the time and notifications without having to touch the phone at all.

The v20 is just a bit taller then the Note 4 but slightly thinner, it fits just a well in my hand and feels better due to its all metal back. If you like the size of the Note you'll have no problem with the v20

My biggest complaint is the glass has a slight curve at the top and bottom that make full tempered glass screen proctors nearly impossible. I have noticeable scratches in my screen because I didnt want to use a plastic screen protector!!!

Also the power button on the back to me is a bit weird and I miss the physical home buttons.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SMARTPHONEPC:
I do find it ironic that Samsung moved away from the Note 4's removable battery to subsequently have enclosed battery defects overheat-explode costing them billions which could have been avoided if they just stuck with the removable batteries that had made consumers-power users happy. Also why not just have an Active/Sport model or even Samsung designed cases for those who want manufacture certified water resistance..?

I did know before I got the Nexus 6P that its enclosed battery would cause issues but not as bad or quick as it did which only reinforces my appreciation for removable batteries. I will likely still go through the hassle of replacing its enclosed battery but I've had to carry around and depend on external batteries with a sense of dread over the N6P's degrading internal battery life. I may ask the Essential phone team for example why they & Google no longer care about removable batteries or headphone jacks (is it to conform to Apple proprietary "curator" ways instead of empowering the actual end users)?

I'd be willing to pay the high prices if there weren't such compromises..:rolleyes:
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SMARTPHONEPC:
I typically use a case (with a lip to protect the screen) like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5M72E0 without screen protectors & have never had screen damage. Gorilla glass 4 with case lip not enough?

I like its fingerprint-power button location & hope it will cause less accidental power offs than on sides near volume controls & I haven't personally missed the physical home button. Regarding the kind of control the user has over the secondary screen I found the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yInN7OV4M3k useful.

When I take another look at the V20 this week I will run through all the options but always appreciate owner experience feedback:cool:

So no difference between the US996 Unlocked model vs carrier/T-mobile model in terms of updates (or Wi-Fi Calling calling)?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jian:
Sorry, but an audiophile would not be interested in the quality of the speakers even if there were two of them.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Medevac1:
Still My Daily Driver

I purchased an unlocked G4 which was supposed to have been comparable with all my T-mobile carrier bands. But I later learned in a Redditt post that it in fact was missing an important one which resulted in connectivity problems. So when the prices dropped on the V20, I made sure to get the carrier model. Now I have much better reception as well as Wifi Calling and FM radio, neither of which are available through the unlocked version.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SMARTPHONEPC:
OK jian I'll let you the true audiophile define what sounds good to me in every practical circumstance.. I'll also give up bluetooth forever only to buy your brand of wired equipment to live in your good graces..

I profusely apologize that I can appreciate handheld dual front facing stereo speakers as offered in my Nexus 6P & Moto X Pure.

Sarcasm aside, I won't make excuses for LGs easily muffled V20's uninspiring single downward firing mono speaker.

BTW, is there a failing speaker issue https://www.google.com/search?q=lg+v20+speaker+issue or is it the speaker grille according to https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...eaker-sound-with-simple-hardware-mod-0176333/ & https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/enable-dual-speaker-stereo-sound-your-lg-v20-0176433/ ?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] herrzeba:
Lg v20 DS990 is below $400 on ebay. Great price. Standby is amazing, manual mode and audio superb. Battery drains 15% or more per hour with screen on, but batteries are cheap. Auto camera mode is poor, including autofocus. Great build quality, no bootloops. So if you are okay with these things, go for it! It's crazy paying 800 for Samsung, made from effing glass! And this comes with screen protector already applied. Dropped it once with Spiegel cash (must have case), no problems. Phone is fast and I love secondary screen.

Where I usually am T-Mobile is best at the moment (speed tested all carriers but not with this device) but that could change over time or obviously when traveling where T-Mobile is far less reliably good so shouldn't I get the unlocked US996 model..?

T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling (& FM radio) can not be enabled in the unlocked US996 model?

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ymDroid:
Why can't GM radio be enable I think what US unlocked version?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Medevac1:
My post was more a comparison of experiences rather than phone to phone. Both the LG 4 unlocked and the V20 were US996 models which were originally designed to work for US Cellular phones. I was just pointing out that given this there are certain trade offs with using these phones on the TMO network.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ymDroid:
Pretty sure I'm getting one just because of the replaceable battery.

Just can't decide between the unlocked US version and Verizon version.

LG just announced they were making the bootloader unlock app available for all Unlocked models of those phones.

I think the VZW version may have been updated to eliminate the unlocking capability.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ymDroid:
The following phones can now have their bootloader's unlocked by LG unlocking tool.

http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703

• LG G6: US997.USA for the U.S. open market

• LG G6: H870 for the European market

• LG V20: US996.USA for the U.S. open market

• LG V10: H960A for the European market and Android M (Except France)

• LG G5 SE: H840 for the European market

• LG G5: RS988 for the U.S. open market

• LG G5: H850 for the European market

• LG G4: H815 for the European market

So this makes the unlocked version a plus.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SMARTPHONEPC:
Checked out the V20 again Monday night in an AT&T store but only had like 20 minutes where it was next to the G6 & not too far away from the Samsung S8+. Issues I'd like to be able to resolve before hitting a buy button even at this lower price:

1) If I bought the V20 it would be the worst built in speaker I've ever put up with (maybe this unit was defective but I shouldn't assume so). Beyond videos, music however brief, voicecalls, I'd frankly like everything to sound acceptable without external speakers so I'd have to try How To Fix/Improve LG V20 Speaker Sound Quality. That YouTube video unfortunately does not demonstrate before-after, has anyone done this "simple hardware mod" described at https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/improve-your-lg-v20s-speaker-sound-with-simple-hardware-mod-0176333 with what results?

I could comment that the G6 speaker did sound more acceptable in a brief test (but still not impressive) & when I looked at the same downward firing speaker location on the G6 it did not appear to have any or at least the same thick crowded speaker grill that could be muffling the V20 sound so perhaps it could be improved..

2) Screen is too blue as reported at https://xdaforums.com/v20/help/color-calibration-screen-to-6504k-v20-t3484489 so I'd have to try https://xdaforums.com/v20/themes/arent-satisfied-v20-screen-color-temp-t3492061 - https://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-v20/739129-how-adjustlg-v20-screen-color-calibration.html , has anyone done this?

The AT&T store model does not let me get into settings so as is the V20 screen was not as good as my Moto X Pure (colors or brightness) but the V20's brightness spectrum seemed acceptable & hopefully the aforementioned color adjustment can be improved while my Nexus 6P whites are comparatively yellowish. The Samsung S8+ colors & brightness were impressive but still didn't feel the need to get it overall especially without a removable battery.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SMARTPHONEPC:
I've already provided links some of which you even quoted demonstrating that audiophiles along with people in general are interested in the quality of their smartphone's speaker/s & the V20's "single built-in speaker ruins the fun by putting out some shoddy and cheap-sounding audio".

Potential spokesperson or troll then go start your own audiophile certifier thread, also kindly see: https://www.google.com/search?q=sarcasm ;)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] k.dos:
All that aside, I'm pretty sure the quad dac is disabled while using the built in speaker anyways, the phone will be using the normal dac and will sound just like any other phone. All be it with a s**ty single speaker...

When I said this phone is good for audiophiles what I meant was the type of people who would use external headphone amplifiers and/or external usb dacs with high end headphones in an effort to get the very best sound possible...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ymDroid:
Is the speaker issue still an issue?

I read that LG put out a 600mb update in December to fix the speaker issue.

Is this still going on on current models?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SMARTPHONEPC:
I hear you, it's just a shame its speaker is so bad, I actually like to show people videos when mobile & it's unacceptable. I think you originally posted you understand why it might be a deal breaker for such a use case. Its single downward firing speaker is so awful it inspired me to find https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HEYIPGK which definitely helps but its integrated speaker/s apparently could have taken advantage of the quad dac according to reviews I had read such as:

http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-v20-audio-capabilities-714807/

"The LG V20 supports audio through both the 3.5mm jack and over the phone’s USB Type-C connection. However, the Quad DAC is only used for the 3.5mm connection and the phone’s speakers, as the USB Type-C connection or wireless equivalent only deals with digital data transmission to an external DAC or set of headphones. So, the sound quality of any USB Type-C or Bluetooth headphones will depend entirely on the quality of the DAC inside these separate accessories."

I'm trying to find out if that "simple hardware mod" described at https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72910698&postcount=20 could make it acceptable.. clearly I'm not the only person disappointed by it, anyone here dare try that "simple hardware mod"?

Anyone catch this article today at https://www.engadget.com/2017/07/05/europe-wants-ifixit-style-product-repairability-ratings citing the V20? Those changes to the industry proposed in Europe are ones I'd like to see more of in the US but won't hold my breath given the totalitarian attitude of Apple & its influence on the industry..
