[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Aries2376:
Currently on stock, non-rooted rom. Just restored from my smart switch backup but something was changing my ringer mode (from sound to vibrate) at random times. So, I downloaded NiceCatch in order to identify what process is doing it. When it occured, I checked NiceCatch and it says it was the AS.AudioService.onSetStreamVolume process that set ringer mode to vibrate then back to sound. Sometimes it sticks to vibrate only and I often miss calls. Any ideas how to stop this? I've already checked Bixby Routines, DND, Easy Mute, and SmartThings. They're all turned off and their not scheduled to turn on. This was not happening before the smart switch backup (I've reset the phone because I was having touch issues, turns out it was just the screen protector.)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Try clearing the system cache.

SmartSwitch can transfer the problems along to the new load. Don't use it if you can't ID the issue.

Never trust SmartSwitch as a stand alone backup for critical data as it can fail you miserably.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Aries2376:
Done clearing the cache partition in recovery. I've also disabled all DND permissions from all apps in the settings. Let's see if it still happens. I'll post the screenshot here again from nicecatch if it still happens. If this still keeps happening, I guess I have no choice but to start from scratch. What a pain.

Yeah, I've learned not to trust smart switch ever again. Quite sad, in my opinion, it was actually better than google's backup and restore. Can you recommend some backup and restore apps? Best one I've used is Nandroid backup from TWRP. But it is only for phones with custom recovery though.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Helium but it's sort of a pain. Never did a restore with it.

I just make redundant backups and load 'em the hard way. I used SmartSwitch to transfer homepage settings on my N10+'s although I accidentally included apps. I'm using Android 9 on one and the newest is running on 10.

SmartSwitch worked well... who knows?

Regardless I know not to trust SmartSwitch🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] richhaynes:
As the name suggests, this is part of the Android Audio Service and it is a perfectly legitimate part of the OS. Unfortunately, the cause is going to be nigh on impossible to find out without a stack trace as the service is being called by something else and NiceCatch won't tell you that. onSetStreamVolume is a function that is called when something is adjusting the volume, be it an app or some hardware interaction. An audio/video app or another part of the OS can make this call. Hardware could be the volume buttons, inserting or removing headphones (or a faulty headphone socket thats mimicking insertion or removal) or a third party device connected to the phone such as Bluetooth headphones or a smart watch. Try disconnecting any Bluetooth headphones and smart watches and see if it happens without them connected. Disable any related apps for those devices too and see if it still occurs (update them if available). Since you have NiceCatch you must have Good Lock and that offers you SoundAssistant. If that's installed, try disabling and updating it and seeing what happens. Disable/update any audio/video apps and see if it occurs. My best guess is that because used Smart Switch, you may have restored an app thats no longer compatible thats making erroneous calls to the function. Thats all I can think of right now. It seems you have a lot of trial and error to do!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Spot on.

Little doubt SmartSwitch is capable of doing this. Most times it just won't reload the app. Or it may have transfer another hidden setting?

3rd party apps can alter hidden user settings on stock phones that do not revert back even if you uninstall the app. This is rare but it happens. Saw a Google book reader app do this. Had to reinstall it, change the display setting, then finally uninstall it for good. With some patience and persistence many times you can track a hidden settings issue down and avoid a reload.

I prefer a doing clean load especially if malware caused the need for a reset. A Android load can lasts for years if you load it right and leave it be.

It's worth doing it right the first time...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] richhaynes:
Smart Switch isn't as smart as its title suggests. For about 80% of the apps I have installed, it only backs up the APK for the app but not the app data itself. Yes it will install all my apps on mass but I still have to set each app up individually afterwards. That makes it a useless solution. I might as well install them all fresh from the Play Store so that they are up to date too. There are some third party apps that get data backed up along with all the Samsung apps but I find virtually all games reset unless the game itself saves a cloud backup. I've never had any apps be faulty after a restore but I've only done it twice personally and I've heard plenty of horror stories from others to know its bad.

As for OP, it could be a strange setting on a smartwatch that triggers it. I can silent my phone from my watch and if it developed a bug then it could cause a situation like OPs. I'm still betting on it being a dodgy Smart Switch restore but it will take days for OP to pinpoint what actually caused it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Aries2376:
Ahh okay. This will be tough to trace then. I wonder if this can be traced via system tracing in developer's option. It did include system tracing for audio. I don't know what program does it need though in order to read the logs.

Also, I did have my screen replaced recently. I did it myself, it was a reglassed screen from China (Screen with frame). Works perfectly fine though. I tested all the functions on Samsung's testing menu thing (*#0#*). All functions seem to be working fine. Except for the Grip Sensor. It doesn't seem to work correctly. It used to say "Release" when the phone was not being held and "Working" when the phone was held. Not really sure what this Grip sensor does. While being inside the phone, I also replaced the thermal pad with Thermal Grizzly's Kryonaut (Non conductive thermal paste). Though I doubt this would cause this to happen. It improved thermals indeed compared to stock.

Anyways, after the screen replacement (before the backup and restore in smart switch), I had no issues with the ringer mode. It only started occuring after the restore on smart switch.

As for the bluetooth, I use the Xiaomi Mi Band 6. Including its Mi Fit app. I tried uninstalling the app to see if the issue still occurs. It still does. So I guess it wasn't due to this app.

Yes, I have disabled several apps to test if the issue was gone. I also tried updating them to their newest version. Unfortunately, it still occurs from time to time. I also have SoundAssistant installed. But even though I cleared its data and cache, the problems still continues. I guess it wasn't due to this either.

Oh okay. But upon backup and restore, I never updated the phone though (November 2021 Security Patch). So I doubt there is some compatibility problems. Maybe smart switch is just buggy. I also did some research about this issue and it turns out, it also occurs to other samsung models (S21). This seems to be a bug from smart switch that samsung hasn't fixed yet. I guess if all else fails, I have no choice but to completely start from scratch. It'll surely be a pain though because I use a lot of apps. 😓

Thanks for the tips though. I really appreciate your reply.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] richhaynes:
I've used system tracing but not for the audio component so I'm not exactly sure what its output would be. The system traces can be viewed through Android Studio and can be very technical. If your used to debugging kernel logs you will be at home as they can be just as cryptic!

One wild thing that I'm thinking now is that the headphone socket got damaged when you replaced your screen and its triggering as if you plugged in your headphones. I'm not sure how that would result in your phone going in to vibrate but it would certainly trigger activity within the Audio Service as it contains code to check the volume limiter which is specifically for headphones. Its a possibility to consider but a wild one at that.

The grip sensor is a sensor that notifies anything that needs to know when your holding your phone. Its one of the things Samsung Health uses to guess when your asleep or not. I dont know how Sammy actually do it but I'm guessing its going to be from slight current changes on the edge of the digitizer as you grip your phone but thats a wild guess too! As for the test, the release message is a message to tell you that you need to release it not to say your currently holding it. Its a bit strange to us because you think it would say gripped or ungripped or something but its messages for a human or robotic tester, not for us.

I've not heard about Smart Switch being an issue on the S21 but I didn't get that model so I've not really read much on the issues it suffers from. Unfortunately Smart Switch is just not reliable as a backup solution. Use it to backup you content and settings but don't rely on it for backing up your apps. You need root otherwise its a manual job I'm afraid.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Aries2376:
Ahh alright. My understanding of Android software isn't really that great. I'm only self learning. I guess its better to start clean.

Headphones are completely working though. Both left and right, including the volume up, down, play/pause controls on the earphones. Headphone detection is working fine. If there was a problem with the headphone jack, there would be no sound coming out from my phone speakers or atleast it would be intermittent. But thats not what really happens on my phone.

The grip sensor is located on the frame of the phone. It has a touch sensor chip located on the charging board module. It makes contact with contacts on the frame. I first thought it was for the wifi/cellular antennas, but then I noticed that antenna cable traces on the charging board PCB led to a signal amplifier chip which then leads to contact pins connecting to the speaker/wireless charging coil plastic piece (which probably serves as the antenna). My grip sensor is probably not working because the pin was not making contact with the frame part. Probably 'cause of corossion or some dirt. Maybe I need to scratch up the part where the pin connector touches the frame. I'll try to get this fixed soon if I ever need to open up the phone again. I kinda already sealed it up with a new water resistant seal. Its gonna be a pain to remove and replace again just for the grip sensor.

Yeah. I decided I'm gonna start again from scratch. Instead of doing all the trouble finding out whats causing this problem. It went bonkers again last night and early morning. I give up. I decided to reset the phone and reinstall all of the apps. Its going to take a while for sure. I would still back up my current data using smart switch though. Just in case it still occurs even after a full factory reset.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Be aware the issue may return if you don't find the root cause. It's likely a 3rd party app or a settings issue. It's always better to find the root cause. Malware is also a possibility in which case a reload will kill it.

You can use ApkExport to make installable app copies in the future, no need for Playstore then on reloads. Available on Playstore.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Aries2376:
Already done factory resetting the phone. And freshly installed all the same apps from the play store (also individually set them up). I also only used smart switch to restore my contacts and messages. Did not use it to restore settings and apps. All good so far. No more annoying ringer mode switching. So that confirms it then, it was indeed a bug in smart switch.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Lol, SmartSwitch is a Pandora's box of trouble.

I would also use the backup feature in Contacts to create an export backup file. This is important to have.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Aries2376:
Its back again. Huhu. 😥😥😭😭

Seems to occur less frequently now though. Tried doing setting up some automation on sound assistant to see if it was the one thats changing the ringer mode. But its process can clearly be seen by Nicecatch. This is really starting to bug me. I've already done a factory reset and reinstalled all my apps fresh from the play store.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Aries2376:
I've tried plugging a headset with volume control and tried changing the ringer volume over there. It still says audioservice but the process is different. Its the checkforRingerModeChange process. Not the onSetStreamVolume.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Aries2376:
Update: I've decided to open the phone again and fix the grip sensor. Grip sensor probe is marked Red. It connects to the lower portion of the aluminum frame. Those "antenna bands" on the aluminum frame are not actually antenna bands. They are plastic molded spacers to separate a piece of aluminum (sky blue) from the side aluminum frame. The lower piece of aluminum is then connected to the probes of the grip sensor IC (located on charging board and as well as on the top of the motherboard). There are also two grip sensors. One at the top and one at the bottom. But on the test menu, only the test for the bottom one is present. (Newer models have test for top and bottom grip sensors). When I touch the bottom probe, grip sensor test becomes "working". Therefore there is no problem on grip sensor circuits. Problem is on brand new frame I installed, I had to scratch the part where the probe makes contact on the frame and viola, grip sensor works now (I also scratched the top grip sensor probe contact). Yellow marked ones are wifi/cellular/gps antennas. They're present as well at the top.

I wonder if the grip sensor was the one triggering AudioService.onSetStreamVolume. I'll just wait and see if it still occurs after this.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bloodstorm666:
As the titled says, I have an unlocked Note 9 that was initially on sprint/Tmobile a few years ago and it is unlocked. I just switched to AT&T and i am able to use data and text, but i cannot make calls or access my voicemail. Says call ended as soon as i try and make a call or hold #1. No VoLTE or wifi calling options either. Do i need to flash the unlocked firmware to gain all features?

Please help!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Is it a N960U or N960U1? They are supported.

See attachment.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] gi_escort:
Similar here. ATT shut down 3G in my area. My carrier unlocked Note 9 is running Oreo 8.1. ATT is telling me i have to update to latest available software released for my device in order to access VoLTE. My wife who has an ATT firmware flashed note 9 never had an issue from day 1. There is something in the unlocked firmware (or att blacklisting unlocked phones) that is not allowing VoLTE. In the hidden menu 4636, my VoLTE is greyed out and OFF. I am trying to decide if i update to PIE and see if it is indeed unlocked. I just liked OREO appearance over PIE changes...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Pie is more secure and is patched against the worst rootkit that requires a reflash to purge.

You need to update your sim card more than likely. Try that first or try the wife's sim card in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] gi_escort:
I was sent a new Sim and it didnt work. i tried another sim running VoLTE and it didnt work. I resigned to updating and Im up to OneUI2 and it still isnt working. Ill go until ive ran out of updates, then call ATT back... they have "assured me" that my sim and account are fully provisioned. I remain skeptical.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] gi_escort:
Went through all updates, about 4hours worth and 7 iterations. Issue was not resolved until android 10, OneUI 1.0. VoLTE provisioning switch still greyed out but in "on" status. Still no VoWIFI, another restriction I have no desire to pursue.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] kisukey:
Which rom is more stable for Android 12 Arrow OS or Pixel Experience?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Itsmeraj:
If you need granular control over customisation go with arrow os, if you want stock like experience go with pixel experience. Both are fast and stable roms with great fluidity. Personally I use pixel experience because i love stock android feel.

[General Questions and Answers] Galane:
I got one of these tablets for free with a bad battery and have installed a new one. It was being glitchy, would not allow changing the USB connection from charge only. So I wiped it and logged into my Google account.

Now it's refusing to update Google Play Services using WiFi, just sits on Pending forever, despite it having already updated other things and installed some apps, which won't run without updating Google Play services.

Are there any ROMs for this tablet based on newer than Android 5? 5.1.1 is what's on it and I've found info that the last official version was slightly newer.

Lineageos would be nice on it. I have it on an old Galaxy Tab 3 7" but it's one with the fast battery drain when off defect that Samsung never did anything about, other than fixing it in a revision. (I have one of the revised versions, thinking about giving it the Lineageos treatment.)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] InvisibleAOD:
So I was able to get my hands on a free android tv, the Philips 43pfl5604/f7, that someone gave to me cause they got a new one but I noticed it has very limited storage, roughly about 4GB of free space. I tried adding a usb drive and the tv won't recognize it no matter what file system I use. I've tried ntfs, exfat, and fat32 with no success. I've tried multiple different file browers as well and can't figure out what's going on. The tv is relatively new so I doubt the USB port itself is bad. I do want to apologize in advance if I'm coming across naive but I'm this is the first android tv I've ever owned or used. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do? Thanks very much in advance for any knowledge or help.

Hi everyone,

I have Unihertz Titan and my question is in the header. I tried to install GravityBox to assign keys in GravityBox actions - that's not working (device is rooted, of course). Maybe there is a terminal command or activity for this action? I really want to control wifi and mobile data by pressing one button, not sliding then tap then sliding.

Ok i cannot read this,but is there something from the touch hd in it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] The-Kevster:
It looks like there is a lot from the Touch HD in it. I don't usually flash custom ROMS but the PDAVIET have really been catching my eye...except for the fact they churn a better one out every 5 days or so.

Some opinions on this rom would really help sway me :D

Well, flashed it this morning. So far so good. Love the dialer skin, very cool. Everything is running so far. Not sure but TF3D seems a tad slower than ROMeOS, but it just might need a bit more tweaking. Worldcard Mobile cab (from ROMeOS) works on this build.

May flash it to get rid of the email sync problem in ROMeOS as I will have to use my mail this week.

So you guys flashed it any comments on the Push Mail.

Thx,gonna try that 1

It changed my 3g logo etc,but still stripes as battery meter,no %
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Kevlar-Source:
I have the 2 cab files needed to replace the stripes with percentage [sdkcerts and the other one which name I can't recall right now] but I am flashing right now. I will post it in a while.

:: REFRESH::

Please find attached SdkCerts.cab and FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly.cab

1. Install SdkCerts.cab

2. Install FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly.cab

3. Soft reset [you are forced to]

You will get a nice coloured [white, orange and red, depending on the battery level] battery meter with percentage notation.

Cheers.

limited on provider frequenties,so gsm radio i guess.

This rom is stunning fast btw,also gps fix abnormally fast,even inside my house lol
