[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gk1984:
I wouldn't do this. Period. There are 2 different speakers and they most likely can't handle the same kind of output. If you push the earpiece speaker too much, you could blow the speaker. This goes for any phone. You're taking a huge risk with this.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] stinger4321:
Go for it.. let us know how it goes..?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] epidemike:
I have a feeling that this would be the outcome.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dorupero:
Alright... Well I would probably do it anyways once I figure it out but I do understand the risk. Not sure if I can do it myself, but ideally all the trebles should go through the earpiece and the bass through the bottom.

I've used this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.Earpiece) to kind of get the feel of how it could sound like, and it doesn't sound too bad.

Of course there are inherent risks in just doing the build.prop edit way, so I was hoping someone more knowledgeable could make this work? If it does work, it would reduce the volume and things but it would still be a fun mod for me.

Right now it seems like I'm the only one who really wants to do this so I understand if the thread just ends here but I'll update if I destroy my phone.

I'm always up for stereo sound.. its what i miss from my nexus 6

I miss it too from Moto x pure but I'm hoping for a mod to come out with it than using the phone speakers.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] LeTurntRice:
I'll try to get something started. I used to change the mixer_paths.xml files on my older phones so, I'll see if I can use those files for reference.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kolpa06:
Did anybody have success with this?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kolpa06:
The file is there:

/system/vendor/etc/mixer_paths_tasha.xml

I tried to replicate the mod using similar changes for OnePlus 5t.

Original:

<path name="handset-stereo-dmic-ef">
<path name="handset-dmic-endfire"/>
</path>

Stereo mod (not working for essential)

<path name="handset-stereo-dmic-ef">
<path name="handset-dmic-endfire">
<ctl name="DEC4 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC5 Volume" value="84" />
</path>
</path>

However, still no sound from the earpiece.

I have attached both stock and modified files, if somebody wants to give a shot.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Ibanez33:
Is that definitely the part for the stereo speakers?

I've not looked much into mixer files before but would assume dmic as a device was dual mic.

Plus did wonder over to the one plus 5 forum to look at the mod there. Did a comparison on the stock file vs the mod and there's a new section added.

Audio Mixer MultiMedia1 which looks to be setting the use and values of the right devices.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kolpa06:
I replicated one of the two changes that this mode did:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/themes/stereo-speaker-mod-oos-t3632980

The other change was this, which I though irrelevant.

<!-- #ifdef VENDOR_EDIT -->
<!-- wangdongdong@MultiMediaService,2016/10/01,add i2s path-->
<path name="deep-buffer-playback quat_i2s">

<!--#endif-->

I am willing to help if you have some ideas.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Ibanez33:
Will definitely take a look.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kolpa06:
The part that confuses me is there is no "quat_i2s" in essential's mixer_paths.

There is quat_i2s_MI2S_RX though.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Ibanez33:
I'm still trying to get my head around it and also find a device with a mixer that looks closer to ours. Preferably another msm8998.

Lgg6 looked closer but the way the mod been applied was completely different. I did spot another thread where someone was making this mod for requested devices so going to give them a shout and see.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kolpa06:
Can you also give me the link of that thread, so that I can support you there?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Ibanez33:
This was the thread here (listed below), but looks like the changes are listed for each device so going to test with whats listed for the oneplus 5 as what they have makes more sense to me.

Do you have any progress?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] TheIronLefty:
I am really looking forward to this, the earpiece for some reason has much punchier bass and vocals, i think essential was planning to use it as second speaker but they didnt, it sounds really good compared to other phones earpieces.

Unfortunately the thread with the request the OP has discontinued the work.

I will try take another look when I get more time.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kolpa06:
Yeah, we are on our own.

I will look at other SD835 based mods and see what we can do

Any updates on stereo speaker mod for Essential Phone?

Please provide all the mixer files, I'll try to port it.

Here's to hoping my earpiece still works

Edit: it plays at the same volume as phone calls, through the earpiece...

Neat gimmick...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] :
So it works? I think I already had copied the mixer path Tasha stuff too vendor a few weeks ago...I gotta dissect it as I do everything...but is it something new?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rignfool:
Yes... I can hear noise coming from the earpiece while holding to up to my ear... It gives a subtle effect that is nice... It is not ground breaking... Or Earth shattering...

Either way... I'm using it...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] acervenky:
Are there any distortions ?

If not, we can try increasing the earpiece gain.

Regards,

acervenky
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rignfool:
That would depend on where the volume for the earpiece comes from... As long as we aren't going to increase incall volume... You could drive it a little harder...

But I'll be damned... If you raise incall volume at all... It'll be speakerphone up to your ear...

Also... The default speaker distorts on stock... I would be good to test one that actually lowers the output on the main speaker to see if the distortion goes away
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] acervenky:
v1 Boosted Version

Boosted the earpiece gain, please test it out.

Link : DRIVE

Also if you notice any distortions from earpiece with this version, please report and rollback to the previous version.

Regards,

acervenky
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rignfool:
Nope... This version distorts...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] :
I think v1 was fine
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] demolatorul:
Honestly for me it sounds good, i can't hear the distortion but i'm having an issue with whatsapp recordings, the speaker doesn't work, only the earpiece, anybody else having the same problem?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] acervenky:
Please list down the bugs, I'll try to fix them.

I rely on you guys for testing as I don't own the device, so please keep me posted ;)

I went back to previous mod because there is no issue with whatsapp, but beside that i haven't find any problems, my personal opinion is that the volume it's OK on boosted mod and who doesn't like the boosted mod they can use the normal one
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aridmal:
Thank you very much for this! I am now using the boosted version as I normally do not turn the volume above 40% so it sounds okay so far...

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Ecki303:
Hey guys,

after following every hint I found in the web I chose to ask for help here.

My Problem is, that, sind weeks, my phone partners always complain that they hear theirselves when they talk to me really loudly.

I can not really point out a time that it started, but I made a full wipe 4 weeks ago in order to get rid of some data i could not erase. I saved all my apps and data with Titanium Backup and re-installed from that backup after having setup my new system).

So much to the Problem.

My Device:

One Plus 3 A3003

Stock Rom Oxygen OS 4.5.1 - Android 7.1.1 - rooted with magisk

Boeffla Kernel 2.2 beta 7 (tried different profiles)

TWRP 3.1.1.2

What I already did:

- I changed the radiocell to avoid a local defect in my broadcasting cell.

- i called my provider to ask for network issues ( none were registrated - and the problem lasts over weeks)

- I switched the SIM Cards

- I wiped the devices cache and dalvik

- I wiped the Phone-apps cache an deleted the data

- I flashed the full ROM OOS4.5.1 once again

When I mute my devices microphone during a call, the feedback stops immediately. It seems like there is a direkt link between my phones speaker and microphone.

During a Whatsapp call - the Problem does NOT occur.

Sorry for this ****ty explanation - i can´t describe it better. I still hope that anyone knows how to cope with that problem. It´s really annoying to not get called by your friends because they are bugged by your phone respectively their own voice.

Best Regards and thanks in advance,

Chris

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vecdid:
Hello all,

I am at a loss. recently AT&T sent down an update which has basically slowed my phone down so much, that at times it is unusable. I decided to look around here and the web for a solution to roll back to the previous version. Well in the process it looks like I have somewhat bricked my device. While I can still get to download mode, I cannot bring anything else up, if I try I get the following error:" An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." Welll Smart switch does not regnoize my model and all videos showing how to use it to repair any Samsung phone seem to have never tried their solution on this phone. I have read countless forumns and websites and still after many many hours I am at a loss and really need my phone back. Can anyone out there point me in the right direction or offer me any assistance? I have tried countless ROMs from the web but they just give errors as I believe most are not for my device. I do not know what to do. This is for the following phone:

AT&T Prepaid Galaxy Express Prime

Model: SM-J320A

FCCID: A3LSMJ320A

16 GB model

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

i would like to know if anyone knows about software that can give me to write on my pda and it will recognised by my laptop instantaneously as the pda recognizes my handwriting.

Thanks.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] lolek5:
It is already on Your device,

you just have to enable it

it's called transcriber, look for a cab in here(forum),

also there are two methods one recognizes only one letter at a time, and you write only in specified box on the bottom of pda,

the other one is "smarter", and recognizes writing on entire screen, and you can write whole words, it will after short delay of writing recognize it and clear screen from previous words you've inputted ;-)

The other one.. well, i forgot, one transcriber, other: Unknown.

I haven't used it too much, since WM6 my phone became more of a phone and sms Utility, than pda,

i started to use big xT9 keyboard(HTC Keypad) to input all data to calendar, etc..

I had my P9 Plus (VIE-L09C432 B370) boot unlocked, rooted and running twrp recovery. Wanted to reset everything back before I sell it.

Tried to relock bootloader and flash stock rom. But that did not go well.

I can boot into Android, but lots of apps are missing (file manager, keyboard etc) and I can boot into fastboot.

Tried uploading /sdcard/dload/update.app and hold vol up+down + power. But the update process stops as 5% and the phone reboots.

Any tips on how to get the phone back in order?
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] xtype23:
Try this: boot into android and restore via huawei desktop software.
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] pananza:
HiSuite says my device is incompatible when I try to restore when it's in fastboot. When in Android it says it does not need to restore. But now I'm stuck in a messed up B370 which has not keyboard (only google speech) and is missing lots of other apps as well.

What's the latest firmware that it will let me fully reset to (via vol up+down + power) and using sdcard/dload/?

I tried B360 which seemed to work, but it still came up with the messed up B370.
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] xtype23:
try to downgrade to marshmallow and then update to nougat, it should fix. I had your same issues and I fixed it flashing the "data_full" part of the firmware, but it was something like 10 months ago and I don't remeber the exact procedure and the files I used. If you downgrade to 6.0 iirc you take your p9+ back to stock settings (locked bootloader) and then you can update it to nougat with official huawei firmware via the updater app on the phone.
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] pananza:
Could you provide any information on how to do that? The only firmware I've been able to get the updater past 5% is B360 full. Any other stops at 5% when I do the (vol up+down + power and update.app in /dload).

I've tried:

B160 (Marsmallows, fails at 5%)

B170 (Marsmallows, fails at 5%)

B360 (Nougat -> Goes to 100% and reboots, but device is still B370 with missing apps)

B370 (Nougat, fails at 5%)
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] xtype23:
Ok, so: download this https://mega.nz/#!wswElLwA!qhafrd_13kW8RjYUEjIXT2lxVEgh1DtjUF-DgzuzqlE

And this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24533103863142914

Now, put the update.app that you find in the first rar in your dload folder on the SD. It must be the only file in the folder.

Dload your phone (vol+, vol-, power). Do this twice.

Boot your phone and check the serial number, it should be l09c900b300.

Power off the phone, replace the update.app in dload folder with the that you find in the secondo download link.

Dload the phone again and boot it, now you should be on emui 4.1 fw b103 with locked bootloader and valid warranty.

You can update the phone to nougat with stock updater if you want. I'm on mobile, so if the post is bad formatted well, sorry, I'll fix it when I can access a pc.

[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] whiskyonrocks:
Hi,

I have recently bought a Swift 2 X and am starting to think it may have been a mistake. I would really like to remove the pre-installed TrueCaller dialler and replace with the standard Google Phone from Play Store.

After contacting WileyFox support they told me:

When accessing the Play Store from my device the Google Phone app isn't visible (due to it being incompatible) and for confirmation of this when I view the app on the Play Store from my PC there is a message telling me "This app is incompatible with your device".

I am running Android 7.1.2 Build TOS249H-N2G48B. Can anyone tell me why the app isn't compatible or if there is a way I can get it to work please?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] dryhte:
I installed it from apk mirror (there's a 'nonnexus' version from 5 december 2016 that works fine, other versions don't work).

Might I add that this is the one fix this phone really needs? Your purchase wasn't a mistake, the phone is quite good (value/money wise & software support wise), they just made the mistake of bundling this dialer...

EDIT - if you don't want to sideload, you can always try zero dialer or exdialer (both of which get somewhat favourable reviews online)
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] whiskyonrocks:
Great! Thanks very much for your advice - I'll give those options a try.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] Bazeboiee:
Set as default dialer

I figured it how to make the Google dialer work properly. You've got to go into the apps section of settings then click on the cog at the top of the screen.

Near the bottom of the screen you'll see phone app, click on that and choose Phone. Hey presto, it works!
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] justicenext:
This is on one of my WileyFox Swift 1, the other is still on 6.0.1

Thank you very much for zero dialer (Play Store), I have been struggling with the default basic Truecaller ever since I downgraded (YES, not a typo) from 6.0.1 to 7.x.x

The lack of call blocking drove me to trying to solve the problem again.

[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] dryhte:
Thanks for confirming. Would you care to do a very short review of the Zero dialer? maybe some screenshots, what works well, ...?

Even if you don't, it's good to know that there is another viable option than the nonnexus which I've been using.

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Cozzmy13:

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Dobsgw:
Combination of wildly inaccurate app and the fact that lithium ion batteries degrade over time.

Anyone who lets their battery to below 20% regularly will see a greater degrading of their capacity compared to someone keeping charge above 20%.

We need an alternative, but unfortunately they are not cost effective at the moment.

Also OEMs love to use degradable parts that need replacement. Hence why phones are being "water resistant" now as it gives the excuse to prevent user replaceable batteries.

Negative effects being primarily cost for consumers but in the long run the more devastating effect will be the damage to the environment from e waste.
