[Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro] techiekeki:
Hello,

Unfortunately I am also experiencing the same issue with my Samsung Gear Fit 2.

I have a Google pixel 2 and also on the Android P beta program. Ever since the launch of the beta 5 I have experienced this issue. Before the beta 5 update, I had no hiccupps whatsoever with my fit 2 on Beta 3 and 4.

Since discovering the issue, I've been able sync my watch with the Gear app successfully on an LG V20 and the latest Nougat version.

I have tried several workarounds that have been successful for the same issue when other Android versions launched. However I have had no success with any previous work around as of thus far.

I also forgot to mention that I factory reset my Google pixel 2 AFTER the beta 5 update. Could that be the problem completely as the app works fine with Android P before the reset?

[Nexus 6  General] :
I just ordered a nexus 6, is this issue common? Does it affect stock rom or custom roms? I have a Moto X Pure at the moment, Nexus 6's brother, it has a similar issue where the sound cuts out when the phone is switched from portrait to landscape and vice versa but only affects custom roms. Its doesnt lower the volume though
[Nexus 6  General] TheGreatess1223:
Yes it is common and does effect custom ROMs as well
[Nexus 6  General] Crossvxm:
For most the issue occurs at low battery, and the drop isn't major. I've seen some videos of people with this specific problem and I laugh because they don't know have it as bad as us with the major drops regardless of battery life. So pretty much the low battery volume issue is more common than the worse one, and you could say it is a common issue.

We had a white one that had absolutely no issues except a faster battery drain (perhaps because the speakers worked?!).

If you're using any of the oreo roms, try my kernel (popcorn kernel in the development section) and have a look at my post here

My Nexus 6 arrives tomorrow and I'll be flashing it right away. If I have a volume issue I'll definitely keep your kernel in mind. Thank you
[Nexus 6  General] xconwayx:
Dumb question does your kernel already have these included?
[Nexus 6  General] athulele:
Yes.
[Nexus 6  General] runekock:
For what it is worth, mp-decision is Qualcomm's own hotplug: it turns the processor cores on and off depending on need. I guess it may use other tricks as well, to optimize power / performance.

No obvious reason that it should affect the speakers, but you never know.
[Nexus 6  General] El Gunslinger:
Does this thread address the issue with SEVERAL 8.1 ROMs I've used, in which the speaker phone does not function during calls... and during calls alone. I can play media just fine... IMMEDIATELY after the speaker not working on the calls. I CAN however plug a headset in and communicate normally . Just desperately seeking an answer or I guess I'll go back to 7.1.2
[Nexus 6  General] mahir555:
So now nexus 6 is running pie roms nearly perfect . Unfortunately this sound problem persists… it is truely fristrating :(

So is there any kernel that can fix it in pie roms? Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] Suffeln:
I have been using my nexus 6 for a couple of years now and had the speaker issue about a year ago and went into recovery and wiped cashe and the. Did a factory reset. Did an OTA update and everything was fixed.

Last weekend I finally flashed TWRP and then rooted with Magisk. Went to install myself5's Bata version of Carbon room running pie... Not sure what happened but had error code 7 and bricked the phone. Had to wipe it out and went though Google to get an old OTA and reflashed and thankfully got my phone back. Tried the process 3 other times and got the same result. Each time no speaker issue.

The last time I tried it I left it alone and didn't even put TWRP on it but now the speaker problem comes and goes.

5 min agot I was playing YouTube music with no issues, made a phone call, then back to YouTube and now the bottom speaker quit and the top speaker is very quiet.

Any ideas on what could have cause my issues and can someone direct me to where Ii can find more information or what I'm doing wrong on on flashing new roms?

Currently running Android 7.1.1 build NGI77B
[Nexus 6  General] nick491:
I've honestly encountered this problem a couple times but rebooting/flashing fixed the problems. Worst case scenario go back latest Google ROM with WUG's software, then you can install TWRP, then a custom ROM like Nitrogen ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] Gveric:
I know nothing about what anyone is saying, but I would like to add that using Viper4Android, and using "eXtra loud" at "Moderate" with the max gain at 4x and the max output at 0db completely gets rid of the low volume problem. Viper works system wide so it fixes it for Netflix, etc

Hope this helps guys :D
[Nexus 6  General] Crossvxm:
Sorry for the late reply, I had to put the Nexus 6 on hold due to another issue with it. I tried your kernel with the latest official version of Dirty Unicorns, but unfortunately it does not boot. It will boot fine without flashing the kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] centerpide:
Having this same issue using the NitrogenOS Pie rom. Updated from 7.1.1 (didn't have this issue with 7.1.1).

Is it better with the Oreo 8.1?
[Nexus 6  General] mahir555:
No . I can confirm that all oreo roms got the same bug .

For me am using android x unofficial pie rom with popcorn kernel. This combination seems to fix this bug !

Try them or even try the kernel with nitrogen os rom .It may work..
[Nexus 6  General] Crossvxm:
Unfortunately no. Mine WAS working perfectly. The charge port broke after about two weeks after I made this thread (my luck), and after having it repaired, the problem seems to have gotten worse. For one, it no longer works in the configuration I mentioned in this thread (mind you, I did not reset it or anything). It also now varies from rom to rom, with the bigger issue now being that the top speaker ceases to function on certain roms, including the way I had it. Now, it drops volume for everything, and most of the time the top speaker will be weaker for the slight moments both decide to work.
[Nexus 6  General] Butifarra:
New problem

Hi Crossvxm. I have had a Nexus 6 for two years. When I wiped it to sell it, the audio problem started. I had PureNexus.

I did what you suggested. I turned on mpdecision with BlackBird kernel and kernel auditor. I installed su terminal, to execute these commands with root access:

echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/tfa9890/8-0034/force_calib

echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/tfa9890/8-0035/force_calib

And the full volume audio came back! Videos, youtube, all working again! But, the audio in calls worked no more. So, after that, I wiped all, installed PureNexus 7.1, Nitrogen 8.1, stock 7.1... I tried everything, but the audio in calls never returned. When I reinstalled all these roms, the low volume problem appeared again, but the audio in calls never came back. Even WhatsApp calls have no audio. The microphone still works, because the other person indeed can hear you.

Do you have an idea about how can I solve it? At least to leave it usable as phone. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and time.
[Nexus 6  General] Crossvxm:
This sounds like what happened to me recently. The configuration I mentioned in the very first post worked perfectly. After taking it to have the charge port fixed, the top speaker stopped working, and you could not hear the top speaker at all during calls. I thought the store broke it, but after giving up using it for some time, I realized that it would randomly try to output sound from the top speaker. After starting all over (flashing back to stock and flashing my same configuration again), the problem changed to where the top speaker was very low in sound when both speakers felt like working. I flashed the latest Dirty Unicorns based on 8.1 along with Popcorn Kernel by athulele but unfortunately it did not boot (as mentioned in his thread, the kernel is Lineage based).

I gave up on the Nexus for a few more days. When I decided to give it another go, I flashed the latest LineageOS (along with root for it via their own separate flashable zip), flashed Popcorn Kernel, installed Kernel Adiutor from Google Play (yes, it's spelled that way), installed the Terminal Emulator for Android and ran the command as well as checking the kernel settings to ensure MP Decision was on, capping the max frequency to 2.4Ghz (feels much less hot) and making sure everything was set to "set on boot". Unfortunately it did not work. The only way I got it to work again was to give up again, flash back to stock and flash Lineage and Popcorn Kernel exactly as I explained in this second paragraph.

So why did it work this time around? Everything was done the same, what could possibly make it work? I have a theory. When it was taken to the shop for repair, the battery died since it was already at 20%. As you can see I mentioned a few times "I gave up" on it, meaning I stopped bothering to fix it, and eventually it would run out of battery mainly from wifi and notifications. Every time it was dead, it was usually dead for at least 24 hours. Each time around, the issue would change. I don't know what it has to do with anything, but I do believe it plays a key role. Try letting your battery die, charge it back up to 100% and then try the process from either paragraph two or from my original post. After it began working again, I abused the heck out of the speakers, rebooted the phone, tried calls, etc. all without letting the battery die and it has not stopped working. I recently sold it as is and was contacted by the person who purchased it who was confused as he did not experience any sound drops either. He was originally buying it to replace the screen on his but decided to stick with mine since it was working perfectly so far.
[Nexus 6  General] Butifarra:
Thanks! The person to whom I sold it still has it, while he gets a new phone. After that, I will return him the money and get the phone back. I will try it then, probably next week. I will let you know. You are very nice! Thank you again.
[Nexus 6  General] Butifarra:
Hi again Crossvxm. I just got the phone in my hands again. I received it battery-dead, so I tried what you suggested. The videos still have loud volume, but calls don´t have any volume, neither normal nor in speaker mode. Do you think it is time to give up? Thanks again for your time and niceness.

Also, I have a Mac to use as PC and also this speaker (phone calls mostly) don't work after I fixed the battery LCD and body
[Nexus 6  General] Mondo V:
Finally some help

Anyone with the speaker issue should perhaps start by this command, reboot and see what happens. If not, try using BL4CKB1RD kernel and see what happens? If still nothing, try toggling mp_decision on and then test

I am in the same boat. Yours looks like the best and unfortunately the last resort before I give up.

I have tried The BL4CKB1RD kernel and changed mp_decision to on. But I forgot how to use the Terminal Emulator only used it once years ago. Can you please give me the command line to make the needed suggestions you gave.

Thanks

Have you solved the problem?

Have you solved this issue?

In my case, as you said, everything is working fine. all speakers and microphone just works properly.

During normal condition :

1. I can play music, YouTube

2. I can record voice and video

3. i can play music in Bluetooth headphone and 3.5 mm jack headphone.

During calls using phone, whats app, messenger:

1. no sound coming from speaker (earpiece and loudspeaker both)

2. i can communicate properly using headsets

3. microphone works properly.

Please suggest solution. :):o
[Nexus 6  General] volssam:
Solution found

I solved my problem with sound dropping by installing from the (free) Google Play Store------ "SUPER HIGH VOLUME BOOSTER LOUD SPEAKER BOOSTER" by Mobile Security Lab 2019. It may also be called "SUPER LOUD VOLUME BOOSTER:SUBWOOFER BASS". Install it and run it. Set your phone speaker to about 50% of volume and then use the booster volume control to raise the sound. I guess this fools the built in volume control so it never tries to lower the volume as it is showing 50% but the volume is very loud with only a 20% setting on the SUPER LOUD VOLUME BOOSTER. I never need to go beyond the 20% volume setting on the BOOSTER.

Old thread and people who owned this phone, probably don't own it anymore...but I ran into same situation with my backup phone Nexus 6...and i also tried different ROMs, methods to fix this....but I don't think, there is any software solution for this...its hardware issue and speaker module is toast and needs replacing...Nexus 6 has dual speakers hence 2nd speaker at the bottom still produces sound when music or YouTube videos are played... that's what I think...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Silvers91:
Hi

I had bought the Redmi Note 5 global version, but lost it since I was mugged. Now I wanted to order a new one since I really liked the one that got stolen from me. But I got thinking, since Xiaomi loves to release new devices very often, is there a Redmi Note 6 coming soon? I'd sure hate to buy the Note 5 only for the Note 6 to come after it with better specs and design.

Thanks!

Edit: Doesn't have to be a new phone from the Note series, any Xiaomi phone that will have a SD SoC, and preferably the same size battery of 4000 mAh. I don't really care much about camera.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] kbajey:

This one slipped from me! It looks great tbh, apart from the chin and the notch. I've never had a phone with SD 625, is it noticeably slower than 636 on the note 5?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Subhashis:
No difference at all during general usage like playing light games,watching videos and such.

The game loading time will be a little more than rn5 pro.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] lawong:
yap , sd625 slower in big difference than sd636 , but sd625 more battery friendly. suggest you keep on redmi note 5 pro or wait for mi max 3 .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] mohan_168:
There is a difference.

It is Redmi 6, that is replacing the old Redmi 5 series aka Redmi 5, Redmi 5a etc.

The current 6 is NOT note 6, but plain Redmi 6 pro.

Note 6 pro is expected end of the year with 7xx SoC
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] kbajey:
In day to day activities, the difference is very very less. May be in gaming, it might be a little significant. My brother has a Note 4 and it flies along well with MIUI 9.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] SkuLL.:
Redmi Note 5 is still a better option than Redmi 6 Pro imo. SD 636 is way better than SD 625.

Thanks guys

I guess if I'm going to wait, I'd better wait for the new Mi Max 3 which is coming with a huge battery and a better SoC.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master_Build:
So as the title says... I randomly developed carpal tunnel in my wrist and it's insanely painful to type, which led me to looking for other ways to interact with my PC. Funny enough Android is light years ahead of Windows in this aspect. In Windows you can enable other methods of input so just touch screen voice commands Etc. Then it occurred to me that my Android has a fairly accurate gyroscope in it.

Would it not be feasible to somehow link my phone to my computer and then use gestures not touching the screen but gestures as in moving the phone up or down or left or right to control the mouse? Newer devices have fairly accurate facial recognition technology, I mean there's apps on the Play Store that allow you to control your mouse with just your eyeballs, and it works, so why would gesturing not work?

I've looked around I don't see anything like that. I demand answers.

I've been a huge fan of ROMs and trying out all the new ones and what not. but lately for this device i have been having some non-reversible issues without having an external backup of the device.

steps I use:

-set lockscreen to none

-reboot to apply to twrp as well

-backup all apps using titanium

-reboot into twrp and run backup of all sections(check everything under the backup menu)

-once complete i reboot into OS to copy literally everything to external storage

-once that is done i reboot to twrp

-wipe -> swipe to factory reset

-home

-install rom and twrp

-reboot

these steps seems to work 13% of the time, i have only ever had 100% success rate with nitrogen rom. I have tried DU, pixel dust, RR, abc, carbon, aoscp, and I may have got each one to boot maybe once. but lately I have been faced with boot loops consistently. this is my main issue, when i am faced with this bootloop i try to boot back into twrp but everything is encrypted on the device at that point, unless the rom boots after literally 10 minutes of waiting I am screwed, i have to plug it into my computer and reboot to bootloader and flash stock. then copy everything back over and restore my twrp backup to get my device in working order again. am i missing something at all?

tl;dr - followed what i understood as proper flashing procedures, faced with bootloop and when rebooting back into twrp everything is encrypted and cant do anything except flash stock wiping everything.

Sometimes it stays offline for about 20 minutes, but I get messages coorectly on my phone. The only way it seems to wake up is to open the app, open a conversation and wait for a few seconds for it to refresh.

The app is already on the not monitored list in the Battery options. What could I do to make this work better?
