Make it 4 and 5. 2 phones here and the audio prob started again friday and saturday. Seems that once the problem starts it's a constant nag. On my phone it happened 3 times yesterday (rebooted after each occurrence). Went back to 1.5.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
jogball light fix may possibly be lights.msm7k.so try swapping the one from any of the new 2.1 builds and it should fix the issue. pm me if u have issues
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
I'm still having the issue too, after the fix on first post. happened 5 times this weekend. I cannot seem to find a cause because 3 times it happened my phone was just sitting on the table.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chaos67731:
With the sound problems I am think the Eris ROMs were a little better!!! Not having Video is one thing but no sound on a phone... Thats just nuts!

+1 for no sound.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ph0n33z:
happened to be 3x today. twice during a call and once when receiving a call.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
ok so like 20,000 now lol.

im working on my motoblur port right now but i will create a new fix somehow soon.

a possible idea is to use gumbo kernel. anyone ever have sound issues with gumbo rom 2.1??? please leave feedback.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jackal424:
Hey guys, I posted this a few posts back. It's not a answer, but possibly a workaround. Note the bold text, nothing concrete here.

The last time I lost audio, I simply turned on airplane mode for a few seconds, then turned it off. I did a test by calling voicemail and everything was up again. Has been up since last Saturday.

I dont know if this was a fluke or not, but if it truly works, it beats restarting the phone and one can live with it until the permanent fix comes out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Diplomat2387:
Will these fixes work with the latest Damage ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jedikcc:
I get the sound loss "regularly" with the Damage ROM. I was working almost a week on the Fresh fixed when my sound went out Sunday morning. Airplane mode toggle didn't work. Reboot did. Everything on the phone came to a complete crawl when the sound went out & I was connected to bluetooth.

I'll try the gumbo kernel & hope for the best.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cali310:
For the record both my phones also went about a week before the problem started. Just wanted to add that info in case it has any relevance
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
Do you think this could be a hardware issue, as only some of us are having it?

I have no issue in taking my phone in for a new one..

Please advise..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
All I know is, if this issue is still present in the official release, Sprint better batten down the hatches if you know what I mean...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] natheoni:
Audio Loss / Reboot

Even with auto-sync turned off, you have probably noticed that google contacts

keeps syncing on an irregular basis. It's not supposed to do this and for some reason when it does it slows down the phone BIG time.

In my experience, the only time I lose the audio (phone slows, audio goes, have to reboot) is when the google contacts are trying to sync.

If you aren't on a call when the contacts sync, the phone slows and recovers fine on its own. If you are on a call...curtains.

Is google contact sync trying to push through evdo data while on a phone call? That would probably mess things up.

:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
Updated.

the new one is the gumbo kernel one. no WIFI yet im busy today. but it should fix EVERYONES issue.

the other one is from Treve which is exactly what i did to the roms except in handy dandy zip file haha.

test and tell!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
Im on it now, ill look into wifi too. Almost just threw phone through a window after getting hit with audio bug reboot after reboot so i hope this works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
OK here is my latest version of avalaunch's mod. This should have working a2sd, gumbo, wifi. His verison i worked off of above probably will work only on fresh enabling gumbo, and no wifi.

I added the following services to the init.rc (along with other lines), this _should_ make it work on damaged or fresh with the gumbo kernel.

service memset /system/bin/sh /system/bin/fresh/memset.sh
disabled
oneshot

service gumbo /system/bin/sh /system/init.d/gumbo.sh
disabled
oneshot

service a2sd /system/bin/logwrapper /system/bin/sh /system/bin/a2sd
disabled
oneshot

Here is my testing platform, i wiped data, dalvik, flashed latest damagedtrev_v2.06.01, then flashed this NewAudioFix_TrevE.zip. Well see how this works out...

Download: http://www.4shared.com/file/TPu8K_t1/NewAudioFix_TrevE.html

*EDIT* Seems to be OK. If you are using damages 2.06 rom the /system/init.d/gumbo.sh is a bit borked, so it falls back to normal mem settings set in kernel. to fix just edit /system/etc/init.d to be

No spaces or anything after minfree. Damageless has been notified for the nextbuild.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
sooo i have heard good things about gumbo kernel. people seems to have it working very well.

im working with gbhil to get a boot.img that will be fully functional. thanks gbhil!

and thanks to everyone who is testing. and big thanks to TreVe for helping with this by making things convenient lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jackal424:
awesome dude. You guys are great. I'm still waiting to flash the final zip that you guys create. But was wondering if Damage including this in his Roms?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
of course he is going to. anyone with 2.1 should because it will be based off the newest boot.img and the only difference is that it works for everyone :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
so the link on page one that says AudioFix_TrevE.zip is a fix but it doesn't support wifi? or is it just a test fix? I have been trying to follow all the threads but I'm lost between all the links and attempted fixes. Thanks.

Also, does it work with Fresh?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
yes 10chars
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noobmodder:
Ok, I'm having audio issues bigtime (after every single call), but I need just a little clarification with these fixes. If I am reading correctly, all that has to be done for the TrevE_audio fix is save the zip to my card and flash it in recovery mode over my current ROM without any wiping of any sort? Is that correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noobmodder:
Bump. Anyone? Just need a quick confirmation so I can hopefully get my phone working...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rezrez12:
Didn't work for me. I've tried both fixes, and every time my bluetooth connects, the sound cuts out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
wipe and try try again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
and just an update for everyone. gumbo is currently undertaking the project so it should be a couple of days and we should have the new kernel fixed.

and people who this does not work for. just tell me a rom that didnt give you this issue. and i will make a zip for you to use that WILL work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] askwhy:
Glad to hear that a new kernel will be forthcoming. I hadn't had any re-occurrence of this issue since doing a complete wipe (data/dalvik/ext) and flashing the Fresh-Fixed some days ago -- until today, a few minutes ago.

I am posting, not because you all need to hear that it happened, but because I was on a call when I saw something that led me to suspect that after the call was over, that I was going to lose sound, and then it in fact happened.

Phone had been on for about 65 hours, BT on, BT off, Music, GPS, Etc. -- rock solid. I was in the middle of a call (happened to be speakerphone, if that matters) when I saw the 'sync' icon pop up in the taskbar, and I thought, "Hmm, it can't sync while I am talking, why is it trying?" Then it went away, and came back, and again. Anyways, I thought of something I read on XDA when I saw that, and said to myself, "After this call, the audio is going to be out," and then it was.

I found in this very thread another similar reference suggesting this issue might involve a background sync process -- as in perhaps how the phone cannot get data/phonecall at the same time, but might be trying to and getting all stuck somewhere.

Has the role that sync plays been well-considered in all this yet? I guess another way to ask that question would be -- what is the nature of the 'fix' that will be in the updated kernel -- what part of the system does it replace or apply to?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rezrez12:
I'm running 2.0d and I tried wiping everything except the SD card and installed again. Do I need to Wipe the SD card as well?

I still have the issue every time it tries to connect to bluetooth. I don't even care about WiFi so I tried both fixes, and still have the same issue.

Thanks for your hard work!

Rez
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
no need to wipe sd. and did you have issues with gumbos 2.1 or eris leak roms? like fresh2.0 or dc1.0
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rezrez12:
I had the eris leak rom that Fresh had made, and I had zero problems with them. The only problem with that rom was that the prl was updated and I couldn't use wifi tether.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
ok. new update will be posted up in like 10 min. try it. im 100% it will fix it for you.

dont sign out xda until you test it and tell me ok :D:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rezrez12:
You got it...

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
ok its up. it just flashs boot.img so its the old eris kernel. idk what will and wont work. im guessing wifi and maybe bt. try it. if it fixes it for you then it prolly will for others so ill add extras.

but anyways i g2g to class so tell me how it goes on here and il get back you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rezrez12:
Where did you put it up? I didn't see it in the first post.

Thanks!

Rez
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
its attached, now look
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rezrez12:
I just went to the car and did some preliminary testing, and the bluetooth seems to be working. The problem is that the speakerphone doesn't seem to work, even when not connected to bluetooth.

I will do some additional testing throughout the day and get back to you.

Thanks for your help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] yellowbean:
If it means anything, I've got the same symptom as rezrez12 where the audio always goes out when connecting to the in-car BT. Actually, it's only speakerphone audio that stops working, earpiece is still good. Issue did not happen on the Eris leak. I'm swamped with work and company in town through the weekend, but afterwards I'll be happy to test anything and pull logs as well. A 100% reproducible issue like this should be easy for Sprint to solve, I hope they're on it for the official release.

Also, this issue followed me from my original Hero (not with Google) to the refurb I picked up this week (with Google) due to dust in the screen of my original. So at least in my case I'm pretty sure it's not related to different HW.

I've had this issue on both DamageControl and Fresh since the first Sprint 2.1 leak arrived on the scene.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcgrathx:
well, flashed the latest eris zip file early this afternoon and all is still well with fresh 2.0d. Speakerphone works for me. Can't validate bluetooth. Not sure if this is permanent, but i've been plagued with this no audio for a while. Every 2.1 ROM (aside from AOSP) has proven to show it's curse within a couple of hours. This has been the longest. Crossing fingers and thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
good good good. i dont think you will have the issue any longer. i hope im not saying that in vein lol but i know what causes it. and this should fix it. report back after you do this test.

1.play music

2.lockscreen

3.unlock

4.stop music.

5. lock screen

6. wait 10 min.

7. call your phone without unlock screen from step 5.

8.tell me what happens

this almost always causes the issue. if it doesnt we are set for a final release of the fix. thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rezrez12:
I've been playing with the phone all day, and have not had any issues. Even the speakerphone is now working. I have done your test, and am just waiting a few more mins and will call it to see what happens.

So far it's been flawless. Thanks!!

Rez
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcgrathx:
Yup, did just that and everything still working. Man, this is great news. I've been calling my office almost every 20min or so since 5pm PST... it's not 830PST and still able to hear ringing and my voicemail. Previously I was only able to get MAYBE 4 calls out.

I'm not a huge sense UI fan, but, I'm not changing anything at this point. Funny too, if I were to have the no audio problem 1 more time, I was all set on flashing back to fresh 1.1. I even transferred the Nandroid backup and was fully expecting to get a fault.

I'll keep the team posted! Thanks for the work.

To keep everyone up to date:

Fresh 2.1d

PRL 60663

Helix lancher

All sprint apps removed

ALL htc widgets removed

everything else stock 2.1d
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcgrathx:
Rez, what ROM are you on?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rezrez12:
Just tested it and everything still working great after doing the test.

The bluetooth has been working great all day. I've been using this new update since the minute it was posted and I've have had zero problems. Thanks!!!

I'm on fresh 2.0d rom by flipz

PRL: 60663

PRI: flipiz_01

Thanks again!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcgrathx:
awesome. looks like we got a fix avalaunch. thanks a ton.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jedis:
Is any progress being made on the trackball light?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
yes. i dont know when it will be done but its just the light. mines dirty so i like not being able to see it :D

and this is very good news. i will am finishing up the "final" 3 updates. one with RC boot.img, one with Gumbo boot.img, and one with eris boot.img.

the reason is because alot of people have the rc and gumbo working fine for them and might as well stay with the newest kernel that works for you. anyways keep an eye on the thread name as i will be changing it.

and just so you know all 3 will have working wifi and all that stuff

thanks for all the testing and staying with me during the tests everyone!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
Updated------------

enjoy!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
Bump for life
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sfox:
So a quick question. Are all of the Devs updating their ROMs to inculde this fix or should we always maintain a copy of the fix on our SD to flash if we flash a new ROM or reflash a current 2.1?

If the Devs are including the fix, it may be helpful to post that after version x.xx.xx of a specific ROM has this built in and does not require the update to be flashed.

S
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jedis:
Trackball light is still busted and not working. Don't notice anything different from the Treve fix and this one. Trackball light non-functional.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mgraham361:
I flashed Damage's first 2.1 and didn't have a problem. Flashed Fresh 2.0d and no problem. I went to the latest DamageControl 2.0.7.2 and my bt headset would pair but not stay connected. It would say connected then instantly disconnect. I flashed your AudiofixRC and this fixed my problem, thanks!

Headset is Motorola H790.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
It should be noted the init.rc (atleast for the eris fix) on the new fix only has the memkiller settings for fresh

service memset /system/bin/sh /system/bin/fresh/memset.sh
disabled
oneshot

so if your on damaged it will fall back to

write /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree 1536,2048,4096,5120,5632,6144

Also i do not see anything to kick off a2sd. Modding the ramdisk on the new patch now...

This is avaulanchs new eris fix that will set a2sd & memkiller on damaged roms.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] AH28:
Pretty funny how it says

FINAL

audio fix, yet later states the issue might happen again after 50 hours of up time...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ceger:
I'm confused. If I ran Flipz update to fix audio on 2.0d, which zip do I need to run? The first or second? I never installed your full rom, are your latest fixes full roms or updates?

Ceger
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
this needs to be reflashed if you still have issues. or dont have wifi. if neither apply then continue use of the older versions.

hilarious? this is the farthest anyone has gotten with the issue and if i recall you have the issue. this is the final update that includes everything i have been working on. dont use it if your gonna be a smart ass about it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] westside_cook:
help please

So how do I apply this update and which one would I need to apply if I run darchlegend v5? Sorry to ask such a noob question but I tried a fix the other day and I know I did it wrong because it almost bricked my phone, so please understand why I want to make sure I do this right.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bng06:
I've been running Regaw's latest themed ROM and I ran the second update 'AudioFixEris.zip' and it worked perfect! (Not going to cry about the trackball light!) My freaking Audio isn't cutting out anymore when making and receiving calls and that is the whole purpose of our Hero device anything extra is a bonus!

:cool: Thanks Avalaunch, you and all the guys that helped with this are all awesome for coming up with this fix and all the time you all spent figuring it out, testing and ironing out all the wrinkles. Pure Awesomeness! :cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
You ccant brick it with this. And good thing you brought up darchs. Read the info and pick one best for you. Tell me which one fixes it and ill make an update for wifi
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jedikcc:
Just wanted to say thanks to Avalaunch, TrevE and everyone else involved with this fix. This was a really big deal for those of us having the problem, even though it doesn't appear to have been wide spread.

Thanks for staying on top of it until is was fixed.

I've been running the ERIS fix on top of the latest Damage ROM & everything is working perfect!

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aclark414:
This fix didn't work for me. Applied it this morning and the sound cut out on me this evening.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
try again. your the only one with no fix. try the eris. the problem has

never

been reported with the eris roms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
How long should it be stuck on the first HTC screen. I flashed the eris one and it has not made it past the first HTC screen. It has been at least 10 minutes and is the third time I have flashed it. I flashed over Freshdamagedcake 1.4.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
its a long time but it will work. i waited at least 15 when flashed over ashoylus. or w/e
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jackal424:
I know you dont want to heaer this. But I'm tossing it out there. I have DC 2.06 with the eris patch. Applied w/o wipe.

Just the other day I lost audio. I restarted and it hasn't come back. Maybe it was some a fluke, we'll see.

I had missed someone's call. When I tried calling back, there was no audio. I didn't want to report this because it was just one incident, bu t I thought I just let you know. I'll keep you guys posted if it comes back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DevinXtreme:
I've had my audio cut out one time, which was last night. The other end could hear me, but I couldn't hear anything. I've had Fresh ROM 2.0d for about a week now and this is the first time I had the problem. I rebooted the phone and made the call again and the audio was fine. Do I need to use either of these fixes, or was it just a random fluke?

EDIT: It might be worth noting that I recently upgraded to 2.42.00.03.10 radio.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] yellowbean:
Re: [FIX] Audio Loss Final

The Eris patch has been nearly flawless for me. I did get the issue one time unfortunately, but going to airplane mode and back solved it. Multiple calls from in-car bt since then have been fine

Sent from my HERO200 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spaziod:
please forgive my ignorance.... have run the RUU exe file to Sprint Hero... audio problems

downloaded AudioFixEris.zip to sd card

When you say "run AudioFixEris.zip file" how exactly does one accomplish this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
I tried again and it was stuck on the Black HTC screen for 30 minutes. The phone never got to the boot screen. I was able to flash the other one. I have no idea why the Eris one would not work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aclark414:
Well, it has been two days since I applied the fix, and the audio has cut out on me 4 times. I am running Aloysius 2.0.3 + the fix. Maybe this ROM is not compatable with the fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] galt:
I flashed the AudiofixERIS fix over Fresh 2.0d last night. I had rebooted my phone about 4 hours ago, and 20 mins ago after my first phone call the audio bug resurfaced (music player was activated, showed that it was progressing through a track but no audio, then tried calling VM, couldn't hear anything). No BT during this time. I tried toggling Airplane mode a couple of times, but it still wont fix. Although it initially started playing (without audio) I noticed that the HTC Music App wouldn't respond.

Bummer....

Edit - I actually had a couple of phone calls after which audio did not drop out - but this was the first one after a fresh reboot (I had rebooted a couple of times before).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
that rom has been reported has working. 4 times is better than 50. just bear with it until the official.

im going to do some tests to figure out why this only happens to some people. im going to ruu, root and flash straight to 2.1 rom. im wondering if something we have have flashed before has changed something in a partition we never mess with. so ill report back later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
so i applied the fix that's in flip's 2.1 rom thread, do i need to apply this new one as well? :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
i need to contact him and be sure he updated it. i think he did. so if you dont have audio issues your fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aclark414:
I hear ya. I know you've put a lot of time into it. I wasn't complaining about the issue - more just letting you know that the issue is still there, at least for me. I'm going to RUU and flash straight to a 2.1 ROM as well. I was thinking along the same lines.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
i would really appreciate it. and your right i have alooottttt of time in this lol. after searching for hours and finding out no one has ever gotten this far, it made me wanna fix it more :cool:

but anyways if you do flash ruu, flash the newest damage and tell me what happens. thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bng06:
I've been running this patch for a few days and audio barely went out... same issue followed by stock dialer and keyboard lagging really bad??? As always though simple reboot fixes it...

BTW: does anyone else notice that the speaker makes a tiny pop noise when rebooting after audio dies?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aclark414:
Yes, I have. Can't remember if it was that way before or not.
