I can confirm the issue

1) You can reproduce the issue f.i. by changing the camera mode to barcode/qr-code recognition:

See attached Screenshot_20181211-132845.jpg

2) You will notice that focussing in this mode does not work at any distance:

3) In normal camera mode at the same distance the camera does focus (for a short time, just enough to do the screenshot):

# Update Android security patch (2018/12/05)
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
Then move your phone farther to the object... ?

Coz I often get this problem, just take it easy and forgive IMX214.
[HTC One A9] Saad. Mk:
Any updates or mods?
[HTC One A9] droopyjj:
sorry for my stupid request but, what's difference under HIAEUHL and HIAEUL?

Regards
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
Considering to LOS 14.1 has almost no more updates from LOS team, so our next release will come with February patch.

And the current versions of mods might be the final versions, coz they are stable enough.

HIAEUHL: International version of HTC One A9.

--- CID: HTC__621 (and etc.);

--- MID: 2PQ910000.

HIAEUL: US unlocked version of HTC One A9.

--- CID: BS_US001;

--- MID: 2PQ912000.

It's all up to which version your phone is. ;)
[HTC One A9] Saad. Mk:
And you said you'd be wroking on LOS 15.1, any updates on that?
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
Not yet, have no idea how to fix it...

But Intervigil had probably noticed this issue:

https://review.lineageos.org/c/Line...rameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml

It wasn't a fix but like a note for himself.
[HTC One A9] droopyjj:
thank you!
[HTC One A9] Fudgehog:
I'm having an issue where when a call comes through, I can't hear them and I have to call them back, which then it works fine. Anyone else have this issue or any idea how to fix it?

I am on the Sep 25th build.
[HTC One A9] Saad. Mk:
How much SOT are you guys averaging on LOS?

And if you're using any battery saving tweaks or modules?

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

Hmm I haven't had that issue, are you using stock dialer? If so then try the google dialer and remember to grant it all permissions manually.
[HTC One A9] Fudgehog:
Still no luck on hearing people when they call me. All permissions are set I'm using stock lineage phone.

Just dirty flashed to 12-21 and still have the same issue.
[HTC One A9] :
Will we get another security patch level update? I'd really appreciate it :o
[HTC One A9] solved:
try another flash , without gapps und then try to call someone again
[HTC One A9] Saad. Mk:
Maybe you flashed the hiaeul build on your hiaeuhl phone?
[HTC One A9] Fudgehog:
I could try a complete reflash but no, I had ATT phone converted to Dev with USA CID and MID. S-off of course.

I flashed Hiaeul. Could do a complete reflash but will when I have more time.
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
For everyone:

Sure I will keep update with security patch.

Considering to very few changes for 14.1 now, I decide update it dual-monthly.

Last time it came with December 2018, so the next release will come with February 2019.

Don't worry, I'm still using this device only. ?

Had you flashed the firmware of Hiaeul after converting model with CMD?

Or you flashed LOS directly just after converting?

And I'd like to know if you use the dual-speaker addon, thank you!
[HTC One A9] Fudgehog:
No dual speaker add on. I'm on 1.57.617.20 firmware, the way I've always installed the firmware is flash the package in download mode wait for it to take, then use RUU to set it up completely. Wait for reboot then flash recovery and wipe etc. Install ROM in order on first page.

The only thing I can think of conflicting would be V4A but after this last dirty flash, it changed nothing before I installed V4A.
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
Then you need to upgrade to 2.18.617.30 at least, and 2.18.617.56 would be better.

Since a certain nightly release, our LOS 14.1 had been changed to be based on the firmware of 2.18.617.30.

Try it and check if it works.
[HTC One A9] Fudgehog:
I lied I am actually on 2.18.617.56. My bad.
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
LUL... I guess there're some possibilities, such as:

1. It may be not your phone's issue, but somebody's phone which called you.

2. Do you use some apps like Whoscall and etc.?

3. Try another clean installation without V4A, and don't forget your backup.

Hope these could help you.
[HTC One A9] Fudgehog:
1. I doubt it's my phone but I doubt it's multiple peoples either. At least once, upon the first call not working, when they called back immediately, it did.

2. Yeah could be V4A I was thinking about looking at my mixer_paths too.

3. I'll try a clean install when I have more time I just don't like the four hours of setup, I'm very OCD about that stuff.

When I go into phone information I'm under LTE/UMTS auto (PRL). If I switch to anything else it doesn't stick after reboot. Is this accurate? I know ATT is GSM after all. However I do get the LTE+ icon on the status bar on this setting.

I appreciate your help though other than this problem, this ROM has been ultra stable, the only other problem I had was occasional Bluetooth problems but those are intermittent and fixed with reboot. I appreciate your hard work and supporting us past the nightlys.
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
About the network settings, I can just know that when CA gets enabled (on A9 it's 2CA), there would be "LTE+" on status bar.

With stock ROMs, it shows "LTE+" on US models and "4G+" on international models.

According to my experience, if there's any problems with network, it can't be solved by only changing something in settings.

Thus I think the network settings isn't fully working since our first LOS, it may be just for test use.

I don't use any Bluetooth devices, so I can't answer for this section. Sorry.
[HTC One A9] Saad. Mk:
Well atleast you get 4G+ I only get HSPAP or H+ in the status bar since for god knows what reason. I use the tweaked stock ROM and I get the 4G icon there
[HTC One A9] Fudgehog:
I would check APN settings if that doesn't work then I don't know.

I don't have network issues but idk if the LTE/UMTS would affect my calling or not. Messing with mixer paths and rebooting didn't change anything. I upped a bunch of values.
[HTC One A9] Saad. Mk:
For further mods/tweaks to this build I'd suggest improving the overall camera experience by simply using the HTC 10 camera instead of the broken Snap camera which has issues keeping it's subject in focus and has an overall outdated ui, by implementing ths htc stock or htc 10 camera into the ROM I think we'd get better results
[HTC One A9] Fudgehog:
Well guys, I guess I'll be leaving the A9 realm shortly. Obliterated my screen today. Looking at the HTC U Ultra on amazon for about $210. It's been a blast. Thanks.
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
In my own opinion, I won't take any HTC in consideration.

If you need another mid-range phone, I could prefer you to have a Nokia 8.1.
[HTC One A9] Fudgehog:
Those don't look bad at all either. I've been with HTC all my smartphone life, with a short stint with CAT phones. I'm pretty much set on the U11 with a tough case. But dang those Nokias aren't bad at all price wise or spec wise.

You're welcome. In fact, I'm still keeping waiting for our Android Pie.

It seems to be not coming too early, coz of the "call" bug.

It's related to phone status registration between user and carrier end.

I did indeed and now it works perfectly however I can't find a profile thats loud and does not distort the speakers since 90% of the times I can't hear my notifications
[HTC One A9] onlime1:
My phone is always silent so I can't hear notifications too l:p . I use Speaker Optimization, V style EQ and extra loud settings for listening music from the speaker (and the earpiece for that stereo effect mod thing) and its loud and does not distort that much. Lots better than stock settings I think.

Hi,

I don't know if anyone is interested in running this ROM while encrypted, but I believe [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] has been working on supporting decryption in TWRP for all of his old HTC devices, so maybe someone can join his Slack testing group and help him get it working? I recall he made a few attempts and failed, but he seems to be in a groove right now, as support for several devices using native TWRP decryption have been added (for Pie, but it seemed to also work on Lineage 14.1). This is a link to the Slack, if people are willing to help: https://join.slack.com/t/twrptestin...FjYjg1ZjAzZGU2Njg3NTFiNjgxZDNhYjNhNTIwNmI3YWI

hello everyone,

how can i understand what is build correct for my one a9? (16gb 2gb ram) "HIAEUHL/HIAEUL"

thanks in advance
[HTC One A9] Saad. Mk:
Depends on which device you have you can either check the build info in settings and wether if it says hiaeuhl or hiaeul OR boot the phone in bootloader (power + vol down) and on the top you should see some text ending in uhl or ul.
[HTC One A9] onlime1:
Any news for Lineage 16? Nightlies are available for other devices so is that means intervigil will build LOS16 for our device?
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
Not yet. Till the dialer bug solved or we won't get LOS 16.0 I think.

The bug is considered as an issue caused by registration of phone status between device and carrier.

Btw, if there's Android security patch 2019-03-05 with Android Webview 72.0.3626.121 uploaded to gerrit,

I'd like to make a bonus build to ensure privacy security.

Another reason, a long-term existed bug had been fixed some days ago.
[HTC One A9] onlime1:
Thank you for keeping our A9's updated. And about that dialer bug when I was using LOS15.1 , some reboots doesn't have that bug. I was able to hang up the calls and receive SMS's but after another reboot problem occurs again. I think it's not from the RIL. Maybe building LOS16 from zero will not have that bug. Just thinking :confused:
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
I know what you mentioned, so I had guessed it a memory leakage issue.

But after observing more, I found it was related to a certain random error about communicating with carrier end.

I could receive SMS (not sure about sending SMS) and dial out to somebody, but couldn't hang up calls by myself or receive phone calls from others.

Intervigil also got the same surmise noted in his unmerged gerrit for A9.

In fact many firmware got reserved since LOS 13, 14.1 and 15.1, so would 16.0. (ex: mixer_path_wcd9330.xml)

It needs some critical debugging for the compatibility when our A9 upgraded from Nougat.

If I try fixing it by myself, it will mean I have to stop building 14.1, cuz my SSD doesn't have enough space for building two different ROMs at the same time.

Thus it should be started after I understanding how to solve major bugs, or else, I would just keep with 14.1.
[HTC One A9] SB00:
Thank you for keeping this updated. I had to revert back to my A9 and was worried I wouldn't have the latest security patches. :good:
[HTC One A9] kall3:
Have you already decided which development branch you will follow? For me LOS 14.1 with bugfixes is sufficient ;)
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
Currently I would keep maintaining 14.1, coz A9 is my only phone and I need it more stable.

If I have IQ 200 to figure out the way to solve the major bugs of 15.1/16.0, I'll prefer to build with 15.1.

I'm not sure how far to get 16.0 for daily use, but I know 15.1 is all fine except the phone call function.

As an old model, it's better to be stable than exciting. :highfive:

Ayuda, por favor

Mi htca9 quedó brickeado y por más que trato de regresarlo con el último rom que servía (una versió nigthly de 2017) ya no pasa del logo htc
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
I have no idea about Spanish, but I use Google Translate and guess something from your reply.

Your phone got stucked at the boot screen with HTC logo, and you were using a LineageOS 14.1 ROM released in 2017, right?

You can try to flash your phone with the latest firmware or a whole RUU. (ex: Spanish ver, European ver or any customized versions by your carrier)

And see if it works. Check in this thread first.

If it's still dead, you can gotta pick a new phone this weekend. :p
[HTC One A9] creisey:
thanks for the great build, i have tried several roms the stock as well as some modded but they all kinda sucked.

this is fast and stable, but i have somtimes a bug:

when the device sleeps (black screen) i cannot unlock it with the fingerprint i then have first to wake it up via powerbutton and after that the finger sensor works. is there a solution for this?

there's another one MTP is not working sometimes, only if i change in the developper options USB to battery loading and back to MTP.

after one unplug the problem is back
[HTC One A9] kall3:
I can confirm both issues. I habe noticed that waking up + unlocking with fingerprint depends on the state of which app was in the foreground when the phone went to idle state. Most of the time I have no problem as far as only the start screen is present before blanking the screen.

Regarding MTP: Thanks for the tip! I did not even have a clue how to circumnavigate that problem. I used OTG instead...
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
1. Fingerprint sensor:

It seems to be an old issue of LOS 14.1. Sometimes, it wouldn't pass lockscreen unless you swipe up. With a DotView case, I even got stuck on FlipFlap screen (LED-styled digital clock+battery). I didn't get these issues on LOS 15.1 last year, but they are here on 14.1.

2. MTP:

I never get this issue. Which option is your default of "select USB configuration" in developer option? Try to set it as "charging" and see if it works.
[HTC One A9] creisey:
i have tired out to change it to charging, its still present.

the first i also had with the stock rom...

will 15.1 be somewhen back on scope? just curious...
[HTC One A9] :
As for the MTP thingy, I think back when our phone was still supported by Cyanogen/Lineage-OS, they said they changed it for security reasons, so you have to choose MTP each time you want to use it in developer options, otherwise it falls back to usb charging. So it's not a bug...it's a feature ;)

But I'm too lazy to find the post in the official thread atm.
[HTC One A9] creisey:
i have found a workaround to get MTP always working: enable USB debugging. then the phone is always first on "just charge", but one tap on "Transfer data" it allows to do that.
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
A good news, there were still gerrits uploaded by Intervigil last week, about LOS 16.0.

Just not sure whether he will finish to start nightly channel.

If we won't have 16.0 before August, I'll consider to try debugging the more stable 15.1 after uploading the last 14.1 ROM.

No wonder I never get this situation, I always keep "USB debugging" enabled...
[HTC One A9] kall3:
MTP-Issue

I am sorry to disagree: The USB-settings in the developers section are not consistent: Here are two screenshots of my device (in german):

1. Here you can see me set the default usb-behaviour to "charging only"

2. Having completed this the settings value indicates that it's still on MTP...

3. Connecting the device to a computer ...will not result in connecting the phone in mtp-mode unless you change the settings once again back and force... :(

I have to stress that I am still happy with this rom. I just avoid to use mtp-protocoll. I use an usb-stick and otg instead.
[HTC One A9] onlime1:
Hey guys I'm back. Had some exams at school :p

As I can see creisey mentioned some problems that I have on my device too. I always turned USB Debugging on for MTP thing since release of the ROM. It was always there for me.

About the fingerprint issue, I found something long time ago while playing with device. If I turn lock screen rotation on and turn device to portrait mode while screen turned off and try to unlock my device it usually doesn't even scan my fingerprint while screen is turned off. Maybe there's something wrong with rotation sensor and fingerprint sensor that messes up with unlocking.

Anyways my 3yr+ old A9's battery is dying. I charge it twice or three times a day. Can you guys suggest any good quality batteries?

Also I have problem with V4A. %90 of reboots break Vipers drivers. Any ideas?
[HTC One A9] Stef1978:
I love this phone and I don't want to switch to other ROM. Please can you tell me if it's safe to use online banking with this custom ROM?!
[HTC One A9] kall3:
"Safe to use online banking" ...well: Safety of your device is predominated by the apps you have installed, in my opinion. This custom rom is as safe as any other AOSP-based rom. Out of the box I would rate it safer then any "official" HTC-ROM.

The only issue that may affect "safety" in the sense of your device being permitted by a banking app might be the choice of rooting your device or not. So it might be possible that your online banking app detects rooting. In that case you would apply addonsu-remove-14.1-arm-signed.zip (see https://download.lineageos.org/extras). :)
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
So weird... Here're my way about MTP:

[Enabled] Android debugging

[Charging] Select USB configuration

Then, swipe down status bar and switch to "transfer files" with a notification.

On stock ROMs, it will pop up a window to select what you want your phone to do.

But on LOS, you need to switch it manually.

Did you do like this when you connected your phone to computer?

In fact, I think there are several issues with the SystemUI (android_frameworks_base) on LOS 14.1.

Like the partial screenshot bug, it was just solved about two months ago. (and 14.1 released two years ago)

Can't describe it clearly, but I'm sure at least that lockscreen, fingerprint sensor and even SnapCamera don't work well on 14.1.

If you had tried 15.1 last year, you might also find everything was better or more normal there except the deadly call bug.

Above 3 years! You're the elder senpai with A9... Mine is just 34 months with a replaced battery.

For your battery, I suggest you to meet a communication store front to replace a new battery.

It would be more believable than you buying one and replace it by yourself.

I don't use V4A or any other audio optimization mod, so sorry for unable to help you. :p
[HTC One A9] onlime1:
I always connect my device to computer as you described and works flawlessly.

LOS 15.1 was a big deal for A9. I was using GCam flawlessly with it. I hope you find a solution for that call/gsm bug thing.

Reason that I'm using my A9 for 3yrs+ is I don't find any reasons to buy a new device. Newer Mid-range devices are not still good enough too beat our devices. We have very nice looking AMOLED screen and better camera than most of the Chinese branded devices (especially mid range Xiaomi's). The Most important thing for me is the DAC of our A9. I think it sounds better than the Galaxy S9. So I'll use my A9 for one more year (without replacing battery). My A9 got 108809 from AnTuTu and I think it is still fast enough to live with :good:
[HTC One A9] Nosferatuse:
Hello Dragonkind, thanks from Russia for the support of our smartphone!
[HTC One A9] creisey:
clock in title bar is wrong

my clock in the titlebar hangs from time to time. anyone else is facing this? check the attached picture.

only the title bar is wrong every other clock has the correct time.

i've tried to put the "system-ui" in battery optimization to "not optimized" but the bug remains.
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
A9 is an enough-used phone, but I would prefer a large-battery phone for my next phone.

Maybe Samsung A-series, maybe ASUS Zenfone 6 (if its mechanical structure is strong enough).

I won't consider the flagships upon USD.1000, despite they can be really three times of life than the mid-ranges.

However if I can fix 15.1 successfully or we finally get 16.0, I'll be willing to use it one more year.

Same as you, the current mid-ranges aren't too charming.

You're welcome! :D

Umm... Did you use any battery-saver or RAM-saver apps?

I've never heard about this issue, guess it could be caused by your apps.

And I will check if it also exists on my phone.
[HTC One A9] AceNik:
Guys I replaced my battery with a larger capacity from AliExpress and it's done so well for me.

I don't use my A9 as a full time phone but when I did replace the battery my screen time was a good 6 hours and more standby as well.

I'm sure lineage OS 16 will reduce the battery consumption drastically

I'm not sure but there seems to be a certain issue could be solved by this way.

Btw such a battery drain, I just got it when my battery ageing, not for cellular network.
