[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
I have tried that, but to no avail. It's not that the animations are slow, the phone itself is, as in it's struggling to maintain smooth animations. I think this might be an issue with optimization, as the robin stock software has no issues like this.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Then I don't know what you're doing wrong. I have a different impression of the ROM. I think it's the most responsive thing I've ever tried on Robin. Our feelings seem to differ greatly.
[Nextbit Robin] Rimmer1966:
I agree that this feels really responsive. Scrolling is smooth and apps load quickly. No complaints from me performance wise. The only issue I have is putting calls on speakerphone, the sound is terrible. But that might just be my phone? Can anyone else confirm or not?
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
Audio quality is perfectly fine for me. I must note that i did use adb sideload to flash the rom onto the phone. Could that be the issue?

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

So your telling me you've had no lag or ANY animation stutters when scrolling? Audio quality is perfectly fine for me. I must note that i did use adb sideload to flash the rom onto the phone. Could that be the issue?
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
I used twrp and adb sideloading to flash the rom onto my device. Could that be the cause of my issues?
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
Exact same behavior on my phone too. Poor audio quality. Unless I connect earphone or phone is connected to my Car Bluetooth I am unable up talk 99% of the time
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Do you have these problems also with other ROMs? That thing is if that's a common problem, then there's nothing I can do because I lack the basic knowledge to fix it. I've learned a lot, but I'm not an engineer.
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
On stock that was not the problem, & I have only used your ROM apart from stock.
[Nextbit Robin] Rimmer1966:
It's an issue for me on all custom ROMs. I think I may have a fix though? I'm going to do a clean flash to test it out. I'll share if it works.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
For some reason, whenever someone calls me and I answer, i cannot hear the other end. The only way to hear them is to end the call and then call them back. Have you had this issue? Is there a fix? What is happening? I've got the lastest version of PE rom on my Robin, and I have viper4android fx. The viper module has had no effect on this bug, as the bug existed before I even had magisk on the device. Audio on videos, music, and outgoing calls is good, it's only incoming calls that I can't hear the other end.

update: I flashed omni rom and the issue IS NOT PRESENT. So maybe take some could if possible to fix this.
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
This bug is currently present on all ROMs for Ether afaik.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
Do you know of any fix other than reverting back to stock?

Thanks for the quick response btw
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
What Ether Roms have you tried that have had this bug?
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
Are you using LTE, I solved this problem temporarily by switching phone to 3G
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
I hope NurKeinNein can fix this quickly, as I really do like having LTE. I will use this for the time being.

If OmniRom can do it, then theres has to be a way to do it on the PE Rom
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
How should this be fixed if there is no feedback on the testbuilds? I don't have a logfile yet. But I think it'll be fixed very soon anyway.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
.

Hold up, you have test builds? If these test builds can help you patch this weird bug, I will do so. Also, the bug does not appear when data is changed from LTE to 3G. How do I acquire theses testbuilds, unless they are the zips on the website?
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
I was talking about this:

https://xdaforums.com/nextbit-robin/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3802848/post77078915

But as I mentioned before, no feedback is needed anymore for this build.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
Do we know what the is causing this to occur? Is there anyway that i could help?
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
thanks NurKeinNein, I will try to test this to see if this issue persists.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
So if this los build works, will it be applied to the rom soon?
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
I tested out the build. Incoming call audio is present, so Volte is a go.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Which carrier are you on?
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
I use tmobile, with Gsm bands 2, 4, 12 (Full Lte compatibility)
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
I'm syncing right now. But I'm working this weekend. That's why it's getting harder for me. It should be ready at night or early in the morning.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
now that we know that this new build works, time is not an issue. I don't know about jio though.
[Nextbit Robin] linckandrea:
EDIT:deleted
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
This is awesome news for me too, I am on T-mo too.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
Photos unlimited storage?

When using this rom and going into Google Photos, it says that I can upload as many original quality photos as I want until 2021. Is this actually real, or is it just some message that pops up because of some data that's in PE to trigger this message, as if the device is an actual Pixel device.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Yes, it is triggered by this commit. I can take it out if that's problematic.

https://github.com/PixelExperience-...mmit/6bf4067b0b8e54b0ba4996dd34751397983fa844
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
I was kinda hoping that there would be free cloud storage, but that's impossible. It actually blocks the ability to see your actual storage usage. If the removal causes any bugs, then it should be fine to leave it in there.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Update Time! :fingers-crossed:

This update should be offered via OTA as always. Nevertheless, here is the link for everyone.

PixelExperience_ether-8.1.0-20180728-1651-OFFICIAL

Changes:

-back to Snap Camera

-attemp to fix VoLTE (thanks to [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION])

-Chronic 2.2 included

Enjoy it!

PS: I'll be releasing Viper Nougat version with July 2018 Sec Patch in a few hours. For all who are interested.
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
how long does it take to show up as an OTA update
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Unfortunately, I'm not being notified either. That's unusual. Maybe there are problems on the server right now.

Here is a mirror for the meantime:

DELETED - Server problem is fixed now
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
updated, LTE audio problem is fixed for sure on T-mobile band 12 LTE at least :good:
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
By the way this is the best update yet. I hope only security patches will continue going forward. This update has fixed so many minor annoyances related to core functionalities. For example WhatsApp video calls over speaker phone were impossible till this update. Unless I connect earphone or a Bluetooth device talking to people on the phone was impossible. Thanks to [MENTION=5974762]NurKeinNeid[/MENTION] and others this was possible. Much appreciated.
[Nextbit Robin] Wanwanderer:
It works great on my phone, thanks! However, is there any option to switch back to google hdr+ camera (works great on the last build, don't know why it was swapped to snap camera)? I tried downloading apks from rhe web but nothing works
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
This google cam apk is meant for the robin.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z7qNprNlT_2fz0z2rR60xcQBTfZi5erw/view?usp=sharing
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
If the camera has worked well and there are no complaints, then I will gladly bring it back in the next build. I thought there were problems, but it was probably only with other ROMs like DotOS.
[Nextbit Robin] Rimmer1966:
GoogleCamera

That is my fault. The version I recommended worked OK but would crash if you went into the settings menu. The only way to make it work again would be to wipe the data and cache from the app. Not ideal!! Sorry about that. The version linked doesn't seem to have any issues and has been working great for me, it might be worth including in future builds?
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Then I will include this camera in the future. Thank you for the info. I'm not a camera guy. I rarely take pictures.
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
The only issue on dot was changing the target camera mode and the only way to recover would be to clear app data. It seems that when it's set to zsl it works well with no issues.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
My Robin has just crashed two times, only minutes apart, while watching youtube. Has anyone else experienced such crashes? Also, I had v4a installed, with optimization and extra loud settings turned on, with their settings at default. I am on the latest build also. Right before the crashes, the video's audio wuld continue, but the screen would freeze.

The device crashed again while using Google Assistant, and then another time while playing a game. The first three times I had Viper4Android FX, and the 4th time I had Viper4Android XHifi.

At this point I've uninstalled all audio mods that I added.

Any alternatives?

Update: The phone just crashed again while watching youtube, screen freezing, but audio continuing to play. This time I had no audio mods installed, so I don't know what is ocurring.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
Will this be removed in the next update?

---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 AM ----------

When will this be removed?
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
I know Nextbit OS got an audio tune-up with the help of AIAIAI in it's 6.0.1 update, and I don't think they are in this rom, as there seems to be a drastic difference in audio quality between stock and this rom. Is there a way to implement this? Are those modifications already in this rom?

On a side note, just wanted to point out that this is the best rom I've tried so far, so keep up the good work!
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Yes, PixelStyle device overlays will be removed in the next update, because you mentioned that Google photos doesn't show the space correctly.

The audio tune up what you mean is that the Robin is specially tuned to work with the special edition of the AIAIAI TMA-2 Modular headphones.

Can you describe your audio problems better? Is it murmuring, clipping or overdriven? You mean audio over speakers or headphones? And have you tested if it's better with another Oreo ROM?
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
My audio issues have occurred when I had a viper mod installed, so I need to wait and see i they occur when they're not installed.

I've tried OmniRom, which had slightly better audio, but it's bass boost feature in it's equalizer was not good.

The (Sorry, I mistakenly said AIAIAI when it was really Arkamys Audio that did some tuning to the speakers) tune-ups were applied to the speakers, to fix crackling issues and to improve how they sound. I don't have any audio issues so far (now that I've uninstalled all Viper4Android modules) , but it would be nice to have that stock audio speaker quality. I must note that this might be just some illusion of my own, so I think we need others to comment if there is an audio difference between stock and this rom when using the speakers.
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
The audio issues are fixed to great extent after the last update. However, you are right it is not as good as it used to be on stock nougat.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:

The phone crashed again while on youtube, with the screen freeze but continuing audio. This needs to get fixed, and I have the logs if needed.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Yes, logs please.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
here you go
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
This logfile does not help. Can you please follow these instructions:

https://github.com/nathanchance/Android-Tools/blob/master/Guides/Proper_Bug_Reporting.txt
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
It's going to be awhile, as this crash occurs randomly, and not often.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
I did the adb commands, but then what do i do?

here's the dmesg file that's just out there in my internal storage.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Thanks, I'll bring a new update and include deathly kernel for the meantime. It might take an hour.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
What is the difference in use between this deathly reloaded kernel you've made and the chronic kernel, other than the longer list of features in chronic? Is there a different feel when using the rom with deathly versus chronic?
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
I have successfully reproduced your problem with YouTube and have also tested it with Deathly. Chronic is based on Deathly. With deathly, the problem does not occur. Until I figure out what's causing the problem, we're on the safe side with Deathly.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
Thanks dude! I appreciate it.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
August Update! :fingers-crossed:

This update should be offered via OTA as always. Nevertheless, here is the link for everyone.

PixelExperience_ether-8.1.0-20180812-1014-OFFICIAL

-August Security Patch merged

-All device-specific is rebased to include the new changes of LOS

-Removed PixelStyle device overlays (as requested)

-Modded Google Camera included (thanks to [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION])

[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
I just tested the new update on Antutu, and the score dropped from 72,000 to 63,888, so you are not the only one.

Tbh tho, user experience feels the same, but the reason why is the previous kernel, Chronic, had some weird bug with youtube. For now, the deathly kernel is being used (which doesn't have as many features as chronic, and chronic is based on deathly) , until the bug with chronic can get fixed, I assume.
[Nextbit Robin] SimplisticXDA:
Ah I never noticed this as I use Youtube Vanced
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
What is youtube vanced? is this a modified apk that can be applied over the stock app? Or is this a part of a modified google app suite?

YouTube vanced is a different YouTube player .

[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
Mobile data signals seem to far more stable in this latest release. Whatever is causing this, I hope it can be integrated into chronic, whenever that gets fixed.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

Chronic has way more performance features than deathly, so it makes sense that the re-basing of the rom using deathly would cause a major performance drop.

is it just me or that when I open the camera, the back camera doesn't work in regular photo mode?

I have been seeing RCS in my battery stats since day one of my XZ2. Maybe you don't pay attention to your battery stats at all.

Before wildly pointing fingers at Sony, please question your telco provider 1st, as it might be a problem on their side that RCS is misbehaving.

No, before RCS Service never been in use and stated on battery usage
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] gh1234:
RCS appeared all the time in my battery stats.

I just opened the stats to check and it's probably the first time that RCS is not one of the top 3 items (it's not even in the list right now). I upgraded to 51.1.A.4.225 yesterday don't know if thats related or just random.
