[One (M9) Original Android Development] Pfony:
Hello Claymore1297,

first of all thank you for all the superb work you've done so far. I really enjoy my HTC Phone so much, so 3 of my friends bought the same phone and I installed your LineageOS ....but so I became their system admin :silly:.

Now to my "short" questions:

1. Bluetooth

I / we experienced some trouble with bluetooth connection in different cars. The device is properly connected to the car's system. So when the phone is in standby (locked) and I start a call, the call cannot be established and the car's monitor notifies with an "call failed". When I wait then some time later (unpredictable the time and always different waiting time) the call suddenly establishes. This behaviour is reproduceable in a Mazda CX-3 (2019), Opel Zafira (2017) both new cars. Strange is, that when having the same situation as just described and then "waking up" the phone during call establishment it works.

So I could imagine that the phone is in a kind of hibernation (systemwise and not by user powersave actions, phone is much above low battery level) and that the phone's OS has some kind of push/reaction period of time in which it regularly checks/wakes up some processes....just my understanding because Android Q is famous for its power saving capabilities. So maybe you have an idea about this.

2. Location

Is it intended just to turn on an off the location? Where can I specify (as in Android O or P) to use "high accuracy" or "device only"? And since there is just one option in Android Q (on/off) how do I know what the device is using? I would really appreciate having the option (back) to chose. I help myself by turning data-mode off or using flight-mode.

I also experienced that the device finds many satellites very quickly but then takes a long time to show my location on a map.

3. Echo during voice calls

I know this has already been mentioned very often, BUT it still there. I/we also experience the problem that the interlocutors hears their own voices in an echo no matter whether from cell phone to cell phone or from cell phone to fixed network . This problem is not in the last official LOS build 14.1 (Nougat 7.1.2), or Android O, and occurred to me round about since the june update of your LOS 16.0 and somehow inherited until today ( LOS 17.1 build september 20200921 ).

Unfortunately also the buttons for volume up or down have absolutely no effect. For instance when using a messenger's calling functionality (e.g. wire) the volume buttons work as expected.

I tried also to disable "JamesDSP", but no effect on that. I turned off the "AudioFX", but no effect. I actually think it has nothing to do with that (or the phones firmware version), since I didn't change anything on that).

For comparison: AICP 14 works all fine (no JamesDSP) and also up to LOS 16.0 around june. Since having JamesDSP in the ROM the problem started.

Since you are working on the next Android 11, would you be so kind a take a very deep and thorough look on that issue. It is as we can see a very common problem here in the forum and since this issue diminishes the good phone's impression, and I/we would really stick to this great phone as long as we can (battery please hold on :angel:)

This is for me and my friends the the biggest drop of bitterness since a phone is actually meant to do voice calls.

4. JamesDSP

I actually experience no difference having this enabled or disabled (master audio switch within the app). OK one thing: when starting a song in VLC the first seconds of the song start cracky so I started the song from the beginning and the crackyness is gone. It seems somehow that the sound system woke up or something....very strange.

Is it somehow possible to uninstall JamesDSP or maybe you can explain in short the benefit of that app and the recommended usage (which option enabled or so). I use LOS since 7.1.2 and listen to music or watch movies so the usual stuff.

5. Snap camera and storage on SD card

First of all: snap camera starts now much slower than on LOS 16.0. Any idea why?

Now the annoying problem:

Taking pictures on Android P using the "quick button" (double click on power) stored the pictures in folder /sdcard/Android/Data/org.lineageos.snap/files... aha understood due to rights management or so (incomprehensible but well....). Taking pictures (Android P) with the unlocked phone and started the app, the pictures are stored as expected in folder /sdcard/DCIM/Camera

Now on Android Q (latest build from september 2020) pictures are

only

stored in folder /sdcard/Android/Data/org.lineageos.snap/files in both ways (quick button or via app-button).

And additional strange thing:

After taking the picture (storage is still sdcard) the preview picture is shown but cannot be clicked i.e. no reaction.

But when selecting "phone" as storage, everything is working as expected i.e. preview button works, and pictures are stored on /DCIM/Camera

Are there any plans to repair that? I would really appreciate that very much :D.

Thanks again for your time and hard efforts making this phone great again :laugh:
