I have recently rooted my Infuse and installed the most recent CM7 Gingerbread ROM. It was smooth sailing and I have been successfully using for about 1 week. I am now encountering popping and crackling noises only on my Bluetooth headset during phone calls making it unusable. This post had some similar comments - (since I cannot post links Google "Static/popping/clicking sound. - Page 2" I have searched this forum and others without finding a solution. I have tried both a Motorola and Plantronics (Voyager Pro +) with the identical problem. I do not beleive it is the BT headset. Has anyone else experience this. Any suggestions for how to troubleshoot? I tried to revert back to the original Froyo Nandroid backup but I get a "Error while flashing boot image!" error so I cannot test to see if the problem exists with Froyo as well and is just an issue with the phone itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This phone rocks!!
iirc cm7 on the infuse has issues with BT, can't help you further though..
maybe you can try the normal return to stock methods?

And there is your problem.
thank you both for the response. I have returned to stock and will try when I get home tonight to see of the issue is resolved. LinuxBozo, am I to extrapolate from your comment that the version is too bleeding edge for a production phone I should try a different version and or ROM? If I so which would you suggest? I would prefer to be using gingerbread over froyo and I really like the feature in CM7. Matter of fact if was awesome aside from the Bluetooth crackling and issue with not being able to remember previously paired BT devices upon reboot.
Thank you
If you want 100%, everything working as advertised on the box, CM7 is not for you. BT is flaky, and very basic right now, with audio (headsets, a2dp) being the most broken. As for something stable, and Gingerbread, you really cant' go wrong with the latest UCKJ4 leak, as it's basically an early look at what stock gingerbread will be. Otherwise, if you want something not so stock, I would say, look at Serendipity7, Sensation or Dlev.
Great feedback. Thank you!!!
Stock rom doesnt have any issues so it was a CM7 issue.

hello i have a desire hd which i think is a fantastic phone. Now i have rooted using visionary and can put roms on that i choose i found the king rom 1.8 to be nice except for like what i have found on all the gingerbread roms i have tried is that my phone sounds like crap it is constantly feeding back and everyone i speak to complains about this ? i flashed the radio that is suited to the rom but no difference ? not only that but the a2dp bluetooth keeps stuttering which is totally unacceptable considering it was perfect in Froyo. I have not unrooted the phone but using clockwork i could flash back my original rom and voila the phone sounds perfect and my bluetooth is sweet. I consider this to be my best option afterall it is a phone and primarily thats what should work properly. My question is i have recieved notification to download an update which i did but got the little green robot and the exclamation mark in the triangle when trying to boot ? so ive flashed it back to original and all is ok. Is it possible to make my rooted phone load the update properly ? From what i read these standard roms and updates are suppose to be crap but at least everything works. Anyone got any suggestions as to how to get the update to work as i would like to move ahead software wise but at this stage with gingerbreads crappy phone quality and A2DP issues its not worth it.

Hey everyone,
I've been using different roms from XDA for awhile now, first on my HTC Legend and over the last few months on my Infuse, so I'm not really new to this.
Here's my problem:
Whenever I use an AOSP rom (Miui 2.3.2b (Galnet), Miui 4.0, Miui Shock N' Awe, CM7, CM7 Nightlies etc.) I get a weird crackling/static noise when making calls (not when on speaker phone). Every time before I install one of these roms I use Odin and go back to stock, wipe everything properly, fix permissions etc.
I've tried disabling DSP, enabling DSP, uninstalling DSP, I've tried every setting possible, I've also tried Voodoo Sound etc. Nothing seems to work, in call volume doesn't make a difference and I've literally tried every single modem currently available and including the newest one UCLB3. I've spent hours googling and searching for an answer and nothing seems to work. I've tried OC'ing, under clocking, fresh installs etc.
Does anyone have any ideas? I can confirm that sound works fine on Zeus, Aeon, Revolution, stock roms etc but that's not what I want to use (personal preference) so it can't be hardware related, the only thing I can think of is the kernel. Is there an AOSP kernel that will fix this issue or even something I can try? The community v8 one wouldn't work with Miui and I don't think Entropys will either.
Please HELP! I'm desperate! I know there's a few others with the same problem.
I'm thinking hardware problem. There was a thread about this waaaaay back and one guy said he got rid of by running a decent strength magnet along the ear peice. Something about metal shavings or whatever. I never tried it tho and I still encounter the crackles every one in a long while. Just some input.
Try a pizza taco sometime, if you don't know what it is, look it up then
I don't think it can be hardware related, it ONLY happens on those roms, it doesn't happen if I hook up headphones or put it on speaker phone, it also doesn't happen if I play music etc.
IMO it has to be something that comes with those roms or the kernel it uses.
My parents have the G2X and some of the freezing and rebooting issues are upsetting them to no end. I'm looking for the most stable rom that I can install on their phones so they can stop complaining!
Any suggestions? I've tried CM7 (meh, too buggy on this phone) and the stock rooted from a while back but even that had issues freezing while on a call.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

For stability, I'd say stick with Gingerbread ROMs. My wife and I both have a G2X, and I while I don't mind dealing with the little things that creep up on ICS ROMs, she just wants the phone to work. I have GB version of Eaglesblood running on her phone, and she has no complaints.
That said, as many have said around this forum, this phone is a strange beast in terms of stability. Even between my wife and I, one ROM works perfectly for me but is incredibly buggy for her, and vice-versa. It's a great phone, but it's just a little touchy. Trial and error will probably be the best way for you to find what works well for them... if they'll let you play on their phone a lot.
Recently I went to an AT&T customer service store to finally have my bricked skyrocket replaced. Everything was working great on stock gingerbread (they even gave it to me with the 2.3.6 update included), but when I went to flash an ICS rom, in this case CM9 alpha 5, I lost my in-call audio. Now, I know that this can be a bug with CM9, especially if you change the lcd density of the screen (which I did not do), so I decided upon trying a different AOSPish ICS rom, in this case AOKP build 40. Boom, all of a sudden I had my in-call audio back. Unfortunately, after about a week of running AOKP, my in-call audio died again. Here's the crazy part. I flashed back to gb stock w/ odin, and my in-call audio was STILL gone. In fact, all of my audio was gone on gingerbread. I've tested numerous roms, and they all seem to have the same result; Gingerbread gives me no audio whatsoever, ICS gives me audio, but no in-call audio. My first though was it was a hardware issue, but given that regular audio still works on ICS, as well as VOIP calls on skype, I'm not sure how it could be.
In any case, I'm just posting this here to warn people about this, or maybe see if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Here's my post from the other day. Welcome to hell...
Guys, I have a huge problem. I installed DPI Modder Pro the other day and set to 160. Everything was cool until I realized I could not make a call after installing 7/1. I see the time increasing and the other person I'm calling is getting the call but I can't hear anything, sometimes though its just stuck on "dialing" yet the other person's phone is ringing. I luckily backed up right after installing the 6/30 nightly but I can only use the phone after the first boot from a restore. If I reboot, calls are gone again. Can't make them, can't get them. I flashed back to stock via Odin and was able to repeatedly reboot and have phone access with rogers 2.3.5 stock. I did a clean CM9 install and like usual, the first boot ran the call no problem but after a reboot, nothing. I don't know what else to try. I've fixed permissions, wiped with CWR, you name it. I'm stuck on 6/30 and I can't power down or reboot or I have to restore to get calls back.
Please help. PLEASE.

I believe the first time I flashed CM9 I did the darkside cache only wipe as per the instructions since I was on non-touch cwm at the time.

Well, first off, I did not change my screen density, yet still lost my in-call audio. Secondly, when I flash back to stock GB, not only does my in-call audio not return, I actually lose ALL of my audio.
Never lost in call audio on any of the aosp roms. Come to think of it calling has never been an issue for me.

Although I'm still not sure exactly what the cause of the problem was, R4ins 7/03 aokp nightly finally gave me back my in-call audio. I'll run it for about a week and see if the fix stays. Until then I'm still tentative to call this bug "fixed" as this is pretty much what happened the last time I lost my in-call audio.
Edit: As I was afraid of, my in-call audio has again ceased to exist. First call worked just fine, left the phone alone for a couple hours while I went out to the beach, and when I came back and tried to place a call all I could hear was a very, very faint buzzing coming from the ear speaker.
Several months ago when it was still alpha 1 or 2 i found that after changing dpi calls can be borked so i pushed a dpi modified phone.apk for cm9 that i found in the epic 4g touch forums it seemed to fix mine and others rom.... But on alpha 5 that problem should be fixed
What kernel were you using i heard that instigators 3.x kernel had some random bugs with call audio and camera I'm on 2.8 with no probs and I'm using the nightly 7/02 build
Also welcome back to skyrocket forums you were missed
CM9 Skyrocket
Maybe its a bootloader thing? Don't the ics leaks from design gears contain new bootloaders? Maybe I'm crazy. We need to find out if people that this happens to people who havent ever flashed the Odin ics leak prior to flashing any ics builds. I always have flashed the latest leak then went on to aosp and aokp just a **** I the dark I guess:thumbup:

The first time it occurred I was using the stock cm9 kernel provided by teamchopsticks. Since then, I've used a variety of different kernels, but they've all given me the same result.
Thanks for welcoming me back, I missed you guys too.

Hi,
Firstly, want to thank the dev for this great rom. I recently switched back from ICS because I couldn't take the lag/wanted a fully functioning operating system.
The main problem I' having with this rom is that when I'm listening to music/audio files they'll stop for no apparent reason. The only thing I can think of is that maybe they're stopping when I go in and out of service. When I either unlock and press play or switch apps and press play they start again with not problems. I've found this to happen in multiple audio player (Poweramp and BeyondPod being the two main ones I use).
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is incredibly frustrating.
Thanks very much for your hard work.
btw: the reason I didn't post this in the related dev forum is that I don't as yet have enough posts to do so...so no flaming please).
Nobody is gonna flame you for posting a question on the questions forum.. (unless you didn't search first)
I've had this happen to me as well with different ROM's. I don't believe its ROM specific. My problems were related to some of my notification settings. I also switched from the standard player to UberMusic. It's old but does the job well.

Can't be too careful when it comes to flames.
I thought it might be my notification settings but I've tried pretty much every permutation of those. Can't really bring myself to switch from PowerAmp (paid) and BeyondPod(free) is the best podcast player I've found to date...I might try reinstalling the rom, maybe I didn't wait long enough before using it?

Does the problem exist if you were to use Google Music? If it does, then it's most definitely a problem with the ROM. Try a re-install and if that doesn't clear it up, you might want try out a different ROM to see if it's the ROM or not.

Sadly, or happily as I love PowerAmp, it does occur with Google Music too. Never had this problem on eaglseblood gb (which I mainly used before trying a few ICS roms) but switched as their GB rom is no longer maintained. Will try re-flashing. Hopefully that helps.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Yeah, i just recently discovered this issue too, and it kind of bugs me.
Still haven't found a way around this. Tried reflashing the rom which didn't help. Just tried flashing faux's 49b1 to see if that helps. The dalvik cache is being very slowly rebuilt. The newer kernel (the one included in hellfire 2.3) has a MUCH faster loading time (at least upon first load). Will post if this helps with the sound issue.

Well. I'm still having this problem. I've tried multiple kernels, multiple roms and even completely formatted my phone (all partition including boot sector). No luck. Truly aggravating because aside from this issue, I love this rom. Very smooth/fast and stable. Not sure I can live with this audio problem though as it's incredibly frustrating.
If anyone else has encountered this problem and found a solution, please post. Thanks,
I just dl the old music player apk here see if it helps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrtstudio.music
Also does it occur both when using headphones and not? I had issue with a set of headphones with a break in the wire, which would make the phone appear as though the headset was unplugged and plugged back in, which stopped playback constantly.
Let me know if this helps any.

Thanks for replying.
I'd wondered if that might be the reason too. I know it gains with different headphones as I've tried four different pairs. I'll have you try it without any and see. I did try disabling the setting for stop playback upon removal of headphones with no success. I'll try without headphones in and see. I'll have to flash the Rom again as I've been trying a few others out.

Sadly, no. I've tried playing music without headphones attached and the same problem occurs. Random stops. I go into whichever application (it happens in everyone single one I've tried) was playing an audio file and it starts up right where it left off when I press play.
It's worse now actually in that it occurs with whatever all roms. So now I'm left wondering if there's a micro fracture in the headphone sensor that only started acting up at the exact time I put Hellfire Phoenix 2.3 on my phone or if, somehow, it corrupted some base setting on the phone that even reformatting it can't get rid of.
Terribly aggravating. Debating taking it in for service but I need to find a Wind factory rom before I can do so. Think I saw one in the forums a few months ago. hopefully the link's still active.

I've reinstalled my phone's stock rom (WIND Mobile).
This seems to have sorted out the issue. I'm going to try reinstalling Hellsfire Phoenix in a few hours if it doesn't happen again (I'm playing music nwo and will continue for a couple hours to make sure).
I'm now wondering if maybe this was some sort of error caused by downgrading from an ICS build (hadn't occured to me previously but that's when I started having this issue and it didn't matter which GB rom I tried after that)? Hopefully this will be the end of these problems and I can enjoy Hellsfire Phoenix as it was great aside from that issue.
I'll post in a couple days if all goes well....or if it doesn't.

Well, sad to say that I still had that problem after trying HFP 2.3 again. So I went back to stock. This time it happened on stock too so I have to assume it's a hardware problem. I guess I just lucked out (well, poor luck in this case) that it went for four hours Friday without halting playback.
Better take it in for warranty service while it's still covered.
At least it seems unlikely that any rom/kernel combo was to blame now.
