Heyyo, thanks for the kind wishes my friends! The first day unfortunately we missed our flight to the Philippines since it was delayed by over two hours due to mechanical issues with the airplane we were supposed to use, so we had to wait for another one to free up... So we spent the night in hotel and then went to a conservatory in Vancouver to pass the time and see some neat vegetation and birds heh.

Things went better for Philippines Airlines though! They overbooked the flight and luckily my family and I were selected for free upgrades from economy class to business class! So they kept offering us wine but my wife and I only took the first glass since we had our son and didn't want to get drunk hehe and the food was also really good and a complete three course meal of appetizers, main and dessert too and an optional plate of assorted cheeses too which was neat. Definitely different meal offerings than economy class hehe.

[MENTION=3782246]kayyappan[/MENTION] , seems like you are right and Bluetooth audio is broken for calls in general as I've also had a time or two where it didn't work for UMTS calls (for us plebs who don't get fancy VoLTE in Canada on BYOD and are stuck on 3G for calls) albeit sometimes it works which is odd... Still seems to be a2dp/offload/compress related...

VoLTE is the same as VoIP yes, the only difference is it uses mobile data instead of non-mobile data like home or business WiFi and the likes. Luckily, just like UMTS doesn't go against your mobile data caps that VoLTE doesn't ruin your mobile data caps too.

Arguably yes [MENTION=3459245]alancai[/MENTION] , our phones are expendable... But they are still expensive lol so I'd rather nothing happen to my x2. The earpiece speaker seems to be going bad on mine too, probably from messing around with that pseudo-stereo speaker mod... So I highly recommend everyone avoid that since our earpiece isn't hardware amplified, so cranking the volume on that can definitely damage it... My battery also sucks as I only tend to average three hours of SoT even in battery saving mode sigh and my camera doesn't work unless I use the focus value from x2's kernel source code release (the default focus value we use on custom ROMs is from zl1's kernel source code)... But at least functionality wise? Everything on my x2 does work which is good.

I did bring the Motorola Z2 Force that was donated to my by the LineageOS team that they received from a community member who upgraded to something newer as I finished the repairs on it... But the double-sided adhesive tape I have must have expired as it isn't sticky enough to keep the phone sealed and it lifts on all sides sighs... So I'll get it fixed properly here in the Philippines for cheap I guess heh. I definitely do plan on hopping between my x2 and nash even once it is fully repaired as I can do more good on x2 as Nash has Erfan and npjohnson where it seems I'm more useful there contributing to selinux policies hehe.

After December 10 I'll be back in Canada, but not sure what my work schedule looks like yet but I'll try to keep you guys up to date on when I can start working on x2 again. I saw that Tortel was helping diagnose and work on audio HAL for x2 (and I guess msm8996 in general) so things are looking good for maybe the Bluetooth audio issues being fixed maybe by the time I get back? I'm guessing the problem is ROM-side since the five things I've tried device-side didn't work...
