[Q] 'Quiet Left Speaker' fix for CM10 / JB ROMs? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I believe my TF101 was fine speaker balance wise on stock ROM. Going to custom ICS ROMs I suffered the 'quiet left speaker' problem. I followed the fix of the .cfg file and all was ok (thanks to those guys for finding a solution).
However now the world is moving forward and ICS is becoming old hat I would like to try JB, however the the speaker fix does not seem to work really on JB ROMs. I have been using EOS 4.2.1 JB ROMs.
Searching the forum there was a post (at end of speaker fix topic I think) saying the same, but there was no answer. As a noob :silly: I can't post in the boffin's timduru Development topics.
Everyone keeps going on about 'buttery' but with EOS4 134 I see what they mean. Smooth
Thanks,
Higgy.

Did you give the KAT App a try in addition to the Kat kernel
It has an Alsamixer in it as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841851 Kat App

Does that app help with a microphone issue? I haven't seen this issue anywhere else, but basically: whenever I use the mic on my tablet, the sound sounds really.... fuzzy and empty. I plug in headphones, and it sounds really distant... the only way I can fix it is if I go into cwm recovery and wipe cache. But if I try to use the mic again, sound goes right back to it's fuzzy sound. I doubt it's a thing with my ROM, seeing as I've use two jb roms. Thanks for your help

I had installed KAT Kernal & App. The 'Profiles' change sound. But I could not get the mixer to do anything.
Turning up the left and reducing the right 'PGA Volume' did not seem to do anything?
Do you need to disable TrueEQ in srs_Processing.cfg now that KAT App does sounds stuff?
Thanks for the help.

I see it seems microphone audio just cuts out for me as well. But audio output seems never better.

I've asked on the official Team EOS 4.2 thread how to fix this problem and never got a reply. I have the exact same issue. K.A.T. will make it "less noticeable" by boosting the right one, but the left one is basically dead in all TeamEOS roms.
I hope Timduru gets to see this thread and has some answers for us...

G2X Discussion Thread (CM Nightly issues, ICS updates, etc.)

Well everyone, since my KANG thread in the development section has become a discussion thread since official CM nightlies started again, I've decided to redirect the discussion to here. I'm going to ask the thread in the development section to be closed, so it can stop taking up space there...instead we'll take up space here! Lol. But anyways I want this to basically be a continuation of the old thread...you can talk about your G2X questions, comments, problems, etc. here. This will be especially geared toward CM-related problems, but all G2X-related topics are welcome here I hope that everyone will continue to help each other out, and of course I'll monitor the thread to help as much as I can and research things if necessary. Enjoy!
This isn't necessarily CM-related but I guess it is in a way. I have been trying out EB's build 1 of ICS and honestly for the most part it works great already. The only big glaring issue (that actually made me revert back to Gingerbread today) was the incoming call problem I've seen reported elsewhere that when you try to answer a call, your ringtone restarts and it doesn't appear to actually pick up.
As for the G2X in general, I'm a firm believer that most common issues have been strictly software-based, which makes the resources we have here on XDA something like miracle workers if you think about it.

Quick question, if I am already running Arcee's ICS ROM would I need to do a full wipe and loose the way I have my phone configured or can I just wipe cache/dalvik cache and flash on top of Arcee's??

As it is always said, it is best to do a full wipe. You never know what issues may stick behind or get caused by not doing a full wipe, but give it a shot and report back and hopefully you don't have issues.

CM Nightly 226/Unnamed & Kernels
Recently transitioned back to CM from MIUI. Anyone try out the newest 226 (unnamed) Nightly yet? I'm still rocking the CM7.1.0.1 Stable, but for kernel flashing purposes, I'm trying to decide on a nightly.
I've used Faux123's UV/OC kernels, but seem to have lost my copy of his v0.4.3 (long term CM7.1.0.1 support). So, the newest v0.4.8 and T15 or ELF Trinity's won't work with mine. I know chip's vary, but mine seems to not like even the ELF Trinity kernel (which has worked for a few peeps running CM7.1.0.1).
Anyway, the breakdown of my ramblings are:
1. Anyone try CM Nightly 226/Unnamed?
2. Anyone happen to have a copy of Faux123's v0.4.3 kernel (CM Battery Version, not the DS driver) lying around? Or a compatible Trinity (preferred, actually)?
Eh, I know #2 is more wishful thinking. I'm mostly interested in anyone's experience with Nightly 226/Unnamed.
Ah, good to be back on XDA and CM, at that. I rolled on MIUI for way too long. Nice GUI & the customization was awesome, but man is that sucker a memory hog! Not to mention the random reboots and screen freezes... I should have never left my good ol' CM. Hindsight and all...
The only issue that I ran into with cm7/cm9 is the low microphone. I know this has been brought up in the past, but has been ignored as well. Some users claimed that it only happen to certain phone, but I'm almost certain that the issue lies within the rom. I do hope someone can shed some lights on this, cause i do miss using CM7.
long story short, i have a wiped g2x. power button is a ***** to turn on to the point that my finger tips are sore from trying to get it to boot into recovery since last night. i can only seem to get 2 different screens trying to do this:
a) the lg boot animation which promtly freezes as the phone has been wiped & i probably haven't held the volume down button
b) the s/w screen used for flashing a recovery, etc
the phone is not mine but trying to help someone out. is there a timing to releasing the buttons? seems that when it goes to the s/w screen, lg appears for only about a second and then straight to that one. any help would be appreciated.
edit: posted it here only because i'd been following the old thread which led me to this one. i was trying to update to the latest while this happened. i started a similar thread in q&a so if it doesn't belong i''ll remove it, thanks
I've been in a loop like this before. Make sure you have done a battery pull. I think the key is not to hold the volume down button so long, and then be patient for recovery to load, it takes longer than expected in this situation.
Good luck.

Ah, you want to talk to me! I just went from CM7.1.0.1 Stable to #225. More stable, much faster than CM7 Stable, #225 really should be CM7.2 Stable.
#226 seems to have a bug with the lockscreen PIN. Go get #225 and don't look back.

I've seen in other threads that the app getril fixes the low mic problem. This app matches the radio layer to the baseband.

I agree, this is by far the most annoying bug and the only "show stopper" I can think of on CM7. I do not think it's a 'phone-by-phone' thing, because if I flash to stock or Weapon G2X, my mic volume is fine. It's only on CM/CM-based ROMs, such as MIUI. I can't count the number of times where people have told me to "speak up" until I'm practically yelling into my phone. I think there's a bug with noise cancellation that causes it to be quieter than it should be.

Verizon CM10 Nightlies

Installed the most recent nightly Jellybean for Verizon. Seems stable but I notice what seems to be degraded sound quality on phone calls. Anyone else having that issue?
Can someone more experienced recommend a better (or preferred build)?

You can't expect nightly builds to be stable- they will and do have issues with various things.
The vast majority, if not every single AOSP ROM for the SGS3 uses all of (or a good chunk) of CyanogenMod's code, which is why you see so many of the same bugs between builds that are rarely fixed until someone submits to CyanogenMod's Gerrit.
I can't comment on your specific issue, just posting some food for thought.
A lot of people have posted about echoes or low volume on the CM10 builds. I don't make many phone calls so I don't know if this affects every phone running CM10. But I'm sure it does to various extents. They will work it out in the coming weeks as they work toward a stable build.

No echo here. I just flashed to the 9/1/2012 nightly from stock.
Did you try playing with the call settings? I have noise suppression enabled and voice privacy disabled.
I actually have a similar problem (can't post on official thread yet).
I have trouble with my headset volume.
If i plug it in DURING a call, I cant hear anything and can't do anything to adjust the volume.
If i plug it in BEFORE a call, it's fine.
Any clues as to whats going on or any suggestions on how to fix it?
Paranoid android Sept 2nd build seems to work nice, i think it works better than the CM10 builds even though its based off it. You can also mess around with tablet mode!
Let's get the echo fixed and the roaming issue fixed and the forum will flock to these roms. Till then I would beware.

Everything else seems to work good but the delay and the echo are very annoying so I am going back to the build that worked best for me cm10 08/22

Same results here for 904. The other forum mentions that an unofficial build has the incoming call delay fixed, though, so I'm hoping the fix shows up when the official 905 ROM comes out.
Headphones with mic not working
I'm running the 9/2 build and when I plug the stock headphones with mic into the phone I cannot talk or hear phone calls through it. No issue with music. Screen flickers when using keyboard (Swiftkey). Volume control in call doesn't seem to work. There is also a 5 second delay when I answer a call to when I can hear the other person or they can hear me. Same delay with speaker phone.
At least the damn echo is gone though :good:
Can anyone confirm whether or not the dock audio is working on recent CM10 builds? I've tried searching the thread and have done everything short of just flashing it to see.

The dock audio was still not working for me on the CM10 from 9/5.

You are correct. Just tried it myself. This is the main thing holding me back from CM10. I'm going to attempt to add it in myself. We'll see what happens.
9/5 build seems to be very solid. No data issues or call issues. Cannot comment o no the dock audio though. Make sure you aren't doing dirty flashes, there have been tons of issues with dirty flashing.

This is why I switched to ParanoidAndroid. It is Jellybean and far more stable than the current CM10. If you want Jellybean right now~ I highly recommend PA. If you really like CM, still, try PA~ it will help you wait for the official CM10 release. I actually don't see a need to go CM10 tbh. PA is wonderful.

Very Disappointed in Cyaonogenmod

Been using Cyanogenmod for a week now. Very dissapointed in the fact that my bluetooth audio sounds like AM radio. Also I get extremely bad echo during calls. Tried CM10 and 10.1. Both have the bluetooh issues.
Sure its a little bit faster. But, I rooted and installed a custom rom in hopes to IMPROVE me phone experience and I got just to opposite.
I'm considering going back to the rooted stock rom but I can't seem to find the link to the original latest verizon rooted rom. I didn't make a backup. Can anybody help me locating it?
On another note, I'm willing to try another custom rom if someone can vouch for it and ensure that there are no major bugs like CM10.
Should've bought an iPhone o_o but really the developers spend there personal time making these roms not for money but for us and themselves so if you're "disappointed" in them then make your own or try others, read threads and find out bugs before you flash.

Don't use bluetooth so can really comment about it, however there are some great touchwiz roms in the Android Development section I stay away from the Original Android Development just because I have found too many issues.
As for some suggestions Synergy is pretty cutting edge though you may have to play with voltages if you install ziggy's kernal. Clean rom is another nice option. Hyperdrive and Delta have also run solid for me. Currently running Beans 12 and it is almost everything I can ask for, if a 5x6 launcher were included it would be perfection for me.
I would say to install twrp as your recovery, if you haven't done so, and install a rom and run it for a few days and see how it handles. Make a backup, twrp lets you rename them so you can easily restore to your favorite rom, and install something else for a few days. Also you may want to try different kernels as well, KT runs good for me but there are many more to choose from.
Finally just remember that each user runs different apps and has different needs and that while we all hqve the same phone minor variatikns n hardaware and just the way the rom flashes can have different effects such as bluetooth audio interferance or poor battery life or app abc will not work for one person but another has none of tjese problems.
Good luck and just remember that the perfect rom is out there waiting for you. You just need to flash like a madman until you find it.
Check out mastamoon's CM 10.1 rom. His latest 2-28 rom is near perfect. BT audio sounds great, signal handoff isn't as good as TW, but it's good enough as a daily driver. I've had little problems with it, to the point i don't even notice it. Try that and your mind will change.

A. If you have issues with a ROM either post in the ROMs thread or in the Q&A section. Not start a thread in General bashing a ROM developers spent countless hours on. Just a respect thing.
B. Go to original development look for yourself, see what has features you like.
At this point, my phone is just one big tweak.
I'm sorry you're getting echo in calls and problems with BT. Would probably be solvable if you had asked since echo has been fixed for a long time.

I think its funny, this guy has a valid complaint about how CM 10 is making his Bluetooth sound bad, and weather it's true or not, members just bash the $hit out of him, lol.
To the OP, if you don't like the ROM or something is glitchy, I've done two things in the past when I've experienced this.
1. make a backup (I use my backup root), and then boot into recovery, wipe (cache, davlik, system, and Format), then reflash your ROM.. OR
2. Find a new ROM and try that out. Currently I'm running the latest CleanRom with Morphology 1.5, and Ac!d audio..I have no issues with sound or bluetooth.
I hope that helps man, good luck and remember. Keep Calm and Flash Roms.
There are at least two threads where a total noob can seek help to fix the two issues he has, and one more where he can read how to fix his issues. Perhaps there are better ways to address his concerns?

To the OP I say I hope you find a solution to your problem. Keep flashing and find what you need brother. To everyone else I am pretty new to this particular medium (xda forums) but looking at almost every topic I've seen I gather one very singular feeling. Please xda take away the "post new topic" option. Its pretty obvious that every single question that can possibly be asked has already been answered. So why ask any question. They are apparently evil and the world wide web has only limited space so lets please not clog it by asking a question twice *gasp*. There is a section for every device and build for developers only that by all means should be kept as streamlined and clutter free as possible but in general forum questions should not be so vehemently discouraged.

I am also disappointed in the CM rom's performance...but I think the blame (for my issues, at least) resides totally with Samsung.
The rom itself works great, but when you're in the middle of a town and everyone else in the restaurant has 4g and you've only got 1x (not even 3g)...well...that's an issue.
Wish they would release the friggin RIL so I could just stick with a 4.2 rom. Grrrr!

I don't know if this is the right place to post this or not. I recently had to return my phone to stock because my phone needed to be re provisioned to activate it again. This happens when you flash multiple roms apparently. I got my phone working and commenced to do everything to flash back to CM 10.1. I noticed I can make calls however, my 3g data will not come up. So, I have flashed back to stock and everything works fine. Anyone know of a tip that might resolve this issue. I was using the nightly from yesterday.

Me too, my only real issues with CM (or any non-TW ROM) stem from the fact that the radio interface has not been released by Samsung and therefore the reverse-engineered AOSP RIL will probably never be as good as stock. It's not limited to signal strength issues, you also can't take full advantage of the phone's World Phone capabilities with a non-Touchwiz ROM. Unfortunately for me, that's a deal-breaker, my phone needs to work as a phone first and foremost and if Touchwiz ROMs have a better and more functional radio, I have to stick with that.
I have been using the latest nightlies of Cm and they have been running great. phone works great except in some areas where I can't get a signal with TW roms either.
I had CM running on my Dinc2. Since getting the S3, I've been running CleanROM with mods. (when I was on CR5.6 I was using KindaCrap Mods and now that I'm on CR 6.0 I"m using Andy Bones' AOSP Theme, which gives it a lot of the feel of CM).

Slider SL101 and JB roms

Has anyone developed a JB rom yet that works correctly with the Slider keyboard? The ones I tried a couple of months ago all turned off the screen when you opened the keyboard.
Thanks

I don't have a slider, but try the EOS4 and/or Noname cm10.1 builds, they might have implemented this functionality.
EOS 4 hasn't, I'll try No Name
You should report back here if you find out. I'm looking to breathe new life into my Slider.
None of them are compatible due to the rom reading the opening of the keyboard as a docked transformer being closed. The Megatron rom had a switch to disable this feature for the Slider. I'm afraid no one cares to take the time for us since there weren't that many Sliders sold.

I also have an ASUS Slider and its too bad there's no development for it.. would very much like to join in on all the JB fun
from what i understand the problem has to do with the lidpatch in the TF101 ROM's
Agreed. The CM 10 Unofficial rom in the dev section mostly works and there is no lidpatch with it. The only major issue is no screen rotation when keyboard is closed. I can live with that.

You found a build that has a functioning keyboard? what's it called?

Tired both. Like the 4.1.2 much better.
Keyboard works on both. Only things that don't work are 1) doesn't wake up from the keyboard 2) the rear camera is inverted.
Which 4.2.2 build did you try? I tried the latest and opening the keyboard shuts off the tablet.
We need a list of ROMs that don't use the lid patch, or a way to remove the lid patch from existing jb ROMs.

I wonder if tim's katkernel without the lidpatch would work as a fix, try heading over there. SInce I remember him releasing like kernel 95 and kernel 95 lidpatch. So maybe there?
No luck there. I'm back on stock.

Tried the 4.1.2 CM ROM, found a few things that don't work:
1) Auto rotation doesn't work when keyboard is closed, but it does work when the keyboard is open .
2) As you've already said- the rear camera is inverted and confusing ><
3) Again, as you've already said, it doesn't wake up from the keyboard.
Can't think about another one right now, I flashed my slider back to ICS a month ago so I don't remember much...
I'll try the No-name CM ROM and will report...
For the love of all that slides

Could someone for the love of God pay a little attention to the slider? Once im on project butter im good. Thats all. Can a DEV just please create a fully functional JB rom for the slider? We all would be insanely grateful.

This is my first tab and im preparing to leasrn the flashing and modding etc but i dont think im the troubleshooting Guru at this point so i prefer to leave the testing to you guys that have the deep know how. Sorry but im a relative newbie. I was just trying to find out if there has been any success in the creation of a JB rom for the slider.
Is there really a great difference between ICS and JB? Is it worth the trouble?
NOt sure, but still "We wants it precious"

If you're new to everything, you're better off keeping it as it is for now and doing a lot of reading and talking on the forums, easiest way to turning it into a brick is reading one thread and crossing your fingers
I don't own the slider so not sure which ROMs are available or even the method to flash it, although I can't imagine it being much different to the TF101
I hated ICS but that was mainly down to ASUS and their amazing updates that turned a perfectly good tablet into a useless rebooting crashing POS
Jumping on the JB Custom ROM wagon was the best thing I even did, the TF runs 100x better than the day I got it
The later JB ROMs have a new UI too
Best thing to do, just find a long custom ROM thread and just start reading from the start, you'll be surprised how much you pick up thanks to other peoples issues and questions and replies

From a quick look, this guy makes some great custom ROMs, and your SL is included in the supported devices
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518768
I've flashed a few of his ROMs in the past
The tweaks are in the main post, but in short, they remove the crap and tweak them up for speed and stability, and fix what ASUS failed to fix

[Q] Havent flashed a ROM to my TF101 in almost 6 months, guidance on what to flash.

I gave my TF101 to my wife before Christmas, and I got a Nexus 7.
At the time I had a somewhat stable TeamEOS3 build, with Kat kernel. She has asked me to update it to help with some of the battery/hard reset issues and I honestly have no idea what to put on there.
I was curious if TeamEOS4 was the way to go? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063406
Open to any ROM suggestions, however, dont want to limit it to just opinions on TeamEOS.
Does the included kernel suffice, or is there a good kernel to combine with TeamEOS4?
She isn't looking for the latest/greatest but something that will let he browse a lot of pages/tabs in Chrome, be stable, and good battery life.
Any guidance from you all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
I'd like to see a reply to this as well
I haven't tried that many ROMs except stock and TeamEOS' 4.1+ releases, however here's what I noticed through time:
- KAT kernel is the way to go
- KAT app makes the audio bugs manageable
- Battery life is pretty good (better than stock)
- SOD only when not plugged in (I noticed this last week - no SOD ever while plugged into power)
However, it appears that timduru isn't active anymore, or hasn't been in the past month, and he was the main developer for 4.x for this device. I don't see anything new on his page. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Team EOS 4.2.2, also I have the kernel which comes with the rom and don't have any thing else... I do not see any audio bug
