Low Mic When Making Calls?

What is your phone model & 16.0 build date?

I don't have that problem on SM-G900M haggertk's S5 klte Build 2018-12-10.

Did you install any sound mod?

Are you using a custom kernel?

Is your phone naked or are you using a protective back cover?

The main mic hole is located next to the USB port & I burned a hole for it in my thin silicone cover. The top mic next to the IR blaster is often called back microphone in some apps.

On a S3 LOS 14.1 during calls the other person could barely hear me. Same when trying with the LineageOS Recorder app. After wasting time tweaking the settings to no avail I used a vacuum cleaner on the little mic hole next to the USB port et voilà! A simple pocket lint problem.

Make a recording before & after to see if it makes a difference.

If not it may be sticky gunk. Some people & techs use a thin wire or needle in there. https://www.google.com/search?q=Cleaning+Galaxy+S5+mic+hole

Do you have a low mic problem only when making calls or have the same problem when using other apps?

Is it better when using earbuds or headset with a mic?

How is the mic when using apps like Easy Voice Recorder or RecForge? BTW the RecForge FAQ is informative.

If everything fails you could try one of those TWRP flashable modifying the mixer_paths.xml file located in /system/vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml which you should backup before trying them.

You can edit the file directly without flashing anything by using a root enabled text editor like QuickEdit & reboot.

Attached is the mixer_paths.xml modifications differences (right-click save as) between [MENTION=4728903]TheFixItMan[/MENTION]'s flashable MicGainforLos15.zip & [MENTION=7759939]Brunowp8[/MENTION]'s MicFix.zip from his post here with higher values & also additional voip tweaks that he says are used by WhatsApp as seen under <!-- whatsapp uses this for audio calls -heiler-->. Note that TheFixItMan's values under that section are stock unmodified.

Note: manual tweaks or via flashable zip will not survive a LineageOS update & must be redone afterwards but you can make a flashable zip of your own custom current modified mixer_paths.xml with the free ZIPme.

Values too high can cause problems like distortions & damaging speaker, headset & ears so use with caution as explained in this thread: [Guide + Technical Explanation] Boost the headset volume without losing quality.

Open the attachment with Wordpad or Notepad++ for example to keep the formatting.

I used ZIPme to create a TWRP flashable backup of the stock S5 mixer_paths.xml and attached it to this post: mixer_path_STOCK_S5_klte_LOS_15-1_16-0_curiousrom.zip

Please report back if you fix your problem or not. :cool:

Tanx for the reply! Yes, Sprint up to no good screwing around with the APNs...

From my understanding, which may be limited, due to Sprint,... But, this APN issue has been around a long time. Seeing how was on any 7.1 Rom.

Not too sure, what the facts are going to be, in regards to Sprint, but I have used a Zip, that did fix the APN. Until I switched to any 8.1 ROM. Which

is a Huge deal, when you throw so many into this, (e.g. Sprint- Phones, Tablets & Dongles, Virgin Mobile, Freedom Pop, Boost, etc. )

Other than this, which does truly suck, I don't see any other issue, or deal here with LOS 16.

They did a great job. Been watching to see how it may come out, gets better, every time I flash a new build.

Lately though, Been working at Micro G. , in many ways, to look at getting away from Google, and the stress they tend to put on any phone.

Okay done all that and I still have BT issue with my airpods... it seems to crash BT when they drop out.. then I can't turn BT on eventually comes up with the option 1, wait. 2, close app. If I choose to close app wait 5-10seconds BT functions normally again..

Side note: every restart is chewing 8-10% battery..? That's quite a large amount considering I have 8500mah battery... Not sure what would cause this??
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] yoshkapundrick:
I have the same "restart is chewing 8-10% battery" (with standard battery) and always wondered what that was all about.

Ok so I know this is an odd question. I been working on my own build base on haggertk's latest klteduos build and my question is does anyone have any expierience wit the Resurrection Remix 6 rom (which I know is based off 8.1 and not 9 )

They have an awesome Configurations menu which I am looking to incorporate into my Lineage build.Any builders know how I could go about finding out how to modify it to work with Lineage 16?

I only noticed today because I was doing a few restarts, setting everything back to the way I wanted it. I will give them credit anyway though as it seems to boot very quickly compared to others...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] dcarvil:
Have you tried clearing bluetooth cache? It is not likely to help, but it is quick and easy to try.

Settings, Apps, See All, 3 dots in upper right corner, Show System, Bluetooth, Clear Cache and reboot.

Did you still have the problem with only LOS, GAPPS, and Magisk installed? If so, I'd restore the EFS partition next. Hopefully you backed it up at some point. TWRP does not back it up by default. If that doesn't fix it, go all the way back to stock firmware. Good backups make this much easier.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
The airpod spec says it supports AVRCP 1.6. Our device defaults to 1.4. You can change this in Developer Options. But, I'm not sure if it will help with this particular problem or not. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] SP33DY89:
You're confused? Why you speak to me in that foreign language?? Lol just kidding. I can find that and try... Whatever AVRCP 1.6 even is??? I've never had airpods before I know nothing about them really. I haven't tried clearing the cache yet but not sure it'll help but I'll try that anyway...

On a positive note I have managed to replicate the issue to a T.

So I'm listening to music, I pause the music and close music player. Wait a bit.... Airpods time out and DC with a blubeep sounds in my ears meaning Connect/DC.... if no sound is played at all... After a few moments and still no audio.. they try to reconnect I hear the blubleep sound in my ears again... It seems to repeat this every few moments until it pops up "Bluetooth has stopped working" giving me the 2 options (1. Wait) (2. Close app) if I select close app I can reconnect after a little bit and Continue listening.... Until the next pause in audio... So like a gap between multiple calls or something just for example....

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

Yet cleared cache no difference. Yes had the same problem with just the basics. I have plenty of backups but I just did a fresh wipe today and restored all my stuff manually with no change. I think it's actually a problem like of no audio the pods drop out then the phone gets stuck in a loop of C/DC until it crashed BT... That's how I see it to be causing the problem. As a temp fix I just make sure music is played gently between calls or whatever. So they don't DC and then turn BT off when finished... Next connect works fine.. so not sure how to solve this issue myself..

Thanks everyone! I'll be back in a week when I am finished moving house...

I'm not sure if we'll get that level of access back. But there's a way to write to sdcard using Storage Access Framework. Open Camera has this option, goto Options -> More Camera Controls and turn on "Use Storage Access Framework" then choose the original sdcard folder (e.g. /storage/<id>/DCIM/Camera) for Save Location and it should work. SAF never made it into Snap, it's kind of a pain to integrate since it doesn't use normal paths, instead it's all content uris. But I'm going to put it into my camera mod when I get the time, then users can also pick a different directory if they want.

Hopefully [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] will see your post and/or is aware of this & can apply it to the stock LineageOS 16.0 Camera app.

I've noticed an issue on my device : I don't receive some SMS. They are marked as sent & delivered on the other person's phone, but there is no trace on mine. It seems to only occur when my phone screen is off (in doze mode).

Any idea of what could cause that ? Of course I don't have logs as this issue is sporadic and I don't know when it occurs exactly.

And i don't receive enough sms to be able to experiment on when I receive them or not.

I've tried a clean build to see if it occurs again but wanted to share this observation to see if others had comparable observations or if it is linked to my specific setup (or phone operator).

Thanks!

My config : SM-G900F, BL : CRH1, CP : CQK3, rooted with Magisk 18.0, stock kernel, TWRP 3.2.3, ext4 except for cache in f2fs, haggertk LOS 16.0 from 10-Dec. Magisk modules : Audio modification library, Swap torpedo, jamesdsp, Sysconfig patcher, mi A2 camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Couchy:
Snap is a system app. How can it not be allowed to automatically write to sdcard? There must be a different permission or API that needs to be used.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jlenz:
It happened to me too: at least 2 times I never got the SMS (hard to know for the other times :) randomly but critically! On G900F, November builds, stock kernel but magisk...

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] alexbelgium:
Same : not receiving some sms is critical.

I've noticed that the messenging service is optimized by default for battery optimization. It could be the cause of not receiving sms. I've tried to disable it and will see if it gets better. I think that any way LOS 16.0 default config should be modified to avoid optimizing this service.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] rfnreynders:
Yep thats what i mean. Looks like the battery doesnt get fully charged

Re: Status bar Bugs - XDA Forum Image Attachments Viewing in Browser

Thanks :good::cool: for the nice report, screenshots & logs.

Yes icons not showing properly on the Status bar is a minor known bug (edit: haggertk posted below that it's not a bug) in haggertk's S5 unofficial 16.0 Build 2018-12-03 & to a lesser extent in current most recent 2018-12-10 build.

It depends on a combination of what you enable or not + the clock position.

Added a link to your post in Report: Bugs & Semi Clean Install S5 klte 16.0 Unofficial > 10. Status bar Bugs...

Could you please edit your post above & include the build date as "Latest" will not mean a thing after the next update? ;)

Edit: [MENTION=8318852]Gbrl95[/MENTION] - I see that your Log.zip contains only dmesg.txt (kernel log) and recovery.txt (TWRP log). Next time a logcat (main System log) captured after a fresh reboot & reproducing the problem would be more useful when it's not a TWRP file install problem or a kernel related problem.

You can use an app like the free SysLog for example to quickly & easily capture it & other logs if you wish (screenshot).

If the phone is not rooted you can grant this permission to enable Syslog using ADB (15 seconds ADB Installer) & a computer:

adb shell pm grant com.tortel.syslog android.permission.READ_LOGS

Image Attachments Viewing in Browser

Note that if on a PC or tablet the new XDA forum Header @ the present will cover the top of the image attachments so clicking on View full image to open it in a separate window is necessary to see them all. See this post about how to reduce the size of the new XDA navigation bar: Header Cleanup.

I made a grid with vertical percentages & attached it to this post. If you view the attachment on a PC browser you will see that the top is hidden under the new XDA header.

So to view your status bar I had to click on View full image to open them in a separate window to see 100% of the screenshots. Or right-click on the image attachment thumbnail > Open in a new tab to see directly the full image & skip the Lightbox reduced size preview.

The problem is that the Lightbox is not on top of the new header so the top 10% of the image is hidden by it on my laptop with a 1920x1080 screen. The percentage of lost image depends on your screen size & other factors.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] haggertk:
notabug. That's Google's approach for icon overflow in Pie. The fact that it happens in the system icon as well as app notification area is an artifact of the baked-in notch handling logic. When you place the clock back on the right it overflows more quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
Thanks for finally dropping in with an explanation. :)

When activated the Bluetooth icon is not showing up on the status bar. Is a feature also? ;)

***
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] haggertk:
Yes. It will become visible when something is actively connected.

Works the same way on my bone stock mata and blueline.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
Thanks, I will test that. Edit: confirmed. When my cheap headset is paired to the S5 the Bluetooth icon shows up on the status bar.

I would prefer to have the Bluetooth icon on the status bar even if nothing is paired as a reminder to turn it off when I don't need it.

I guess that the icon overflowing on screens without a notch & with plenty of status bar space left will be addressed eventually as thousands of users will surely be baffled by viewing dots instead of their icons.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] haggertk:
Blueline doesn't have a notch. It's a Google device. The behavior by design.

New thread suggestion

[MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] while we got your attention for the time being I would like to make this suggestion: how about a new dedicated thread in xda-developers > Samsung Galaxy S 5 > Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development > [UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 16.0 Beta [klte+Variants] 2018-12-10 by haggertk?

We are hundreds of users (at least) checking daily your unofficial 16.0 for S5 download folders in case there is a new release & it's a funny race for whom will post about it first in this thread & elsewhere.

You could then simply update the thread's title with the new build date.

And maybe edit post #1 with major changes like when you enabled SELinux Enforcing recently for example. I don't expect nor request full changelogs.

It could also include this important info which is not in the post #1 of this thread @ the present:

haggertk's S5 klte + Variants Models Supported:

klte - SM-G900AZ, SM-G900F, SM-G900M, SM-G900R4, SM-G900R7, SM-G900T, SM-G900V, SM-G900W8, SM-S902L

klteactivexx - SM-G870F

kltechn - SM-G9006V, SM-G9008V

kltechnduo - SM-G9006W, SM-G9008W

klteduos - SM-G900FD, SM-G900MD

kltedv - SM-G900I, SM-G900P

kltekdi - SCL-23

kltekor - SM-G900K, SM-G900L, SM-G900S

It would be easier for S5 users to find it when searching the web.

Bad design. :)

Re: Modem & Bootloader for SM-G900F

That is for the SM-G900F only.

It is the most recent included in the Samsung stock SM-G900F United Kingdom BTU region Aug. 29, 18: "Baseband: G900FXXU1CQK3 Bootloader: G900FXXU1CRH1".

But then more recent S5 SM-G900F Samsung firmwares for other regions have other modems as seen in updato.com https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G900F&rpp=15&order=date&dir=desc&exact=1 like for Sri Lanka (SLK) Oct 05, 18: modem G900FXXS1CQAB. Or Greece (Cosmote) (COS) Oct 04, 18, Austria (T-Mobile) (MAX) Oct 04, 18, Czech Republic (T-Mobile) (TMZ) Oct 04, 18, etc: modem G900FXXU1CQC2 for example.

Updato uses the Phone label for modem/radio/baseband on it's respective firmware download pages.

The higher the last 4 alphanumeric characters, the more recent it is but that does not mean it's the best for a given region with a given network provider.

Otherwise why would Samsung use different modems for different regions for firmwares with similar release dates?

They don't say why. :eek:

A download link should always include for which exact phone model it is IMO.

There are users with all kind of different knowledge levels reading this thread.

Is this a good boot time for a S5 SM-G900M running haggertk klte Unofficial LineageOS 16.0 Pie build 2018-12-10 + Open GApps Pico + Magisk 16.0?

Note that everything is relative & boot time may vary depending on what is loaded in your setup: custom kernel, etc. For example Magisk modifies boot.img & I don't know if it slows down or speedup boot time.

Just used the chronometer here and it took around 1:02~1:04 minutes to boot AOSPEx 6.1. So it almost just the same in the end. Nougat wasn't much faster then that.

About power consumption on boot it uses 1~2% here.
