Does anybody know if the speaker phone echo has been resolved in jb builds

I was just wondering if anybody knows if the speaker phone echo on the other end of the line has been resolved on the aosp builds. I searched through forums and most of the time the question doesn't get answered. I would appreciate the help

Zero issues on liquid smooth rc7

I can tell u that it has NOT been fixed. I have tried every version of Cm10/AOSP ROM out there. Some people really dont have the problem but most do and dont realize that they will never hear an echo. The person u ate talking to will hear themselves echo when u have them on speakerphone

Odds are it won't ever be fixed as the noise cancelation code is closed source 3rd party code that Samsung licenses.
Playing with the mic gain settings can act as a workaround.

I'd say that's a little overzealous to state that most people have it and don't know it. Most people just plain don't have it, and they know they don't have it. Its different on a phone by phone basis, but most people do not have it, as the other people have indicated in here.
I did have it on cm10 until about a month ago, then never again since then. And yes, people are very aware that only the other line can hear it, I've talked to my wife and brothers and asked them many many times if they can hear an echo when talking to me and everyone reports that everything is fine. Even echo on speakerphone works flawless. I'm sorry for your guys' frustrations.

I have this issue too, even when not on speakerphone. When I turn the volume down it seems to fix it so it seems to me its feedback. Any ideas?

Audio recording problem with different apps

Hi,
Trying to record an audio on my nexus (lecture for example) and having some issues with it.
I start record and then leave it with screen off for an about half hour or more (plenty of space for the file). when I start to listen to the audio that I recorded, the sound is not clear with gaps.
Checked the recorded audio on my PC also and still same result - awful sound with gaps.
It is not app related because I tried already 5 or more of them (apps that work great on my old HTC desire).
I'm using stock rom (4.4.2) with Franco kernel - without modifications to it.
Any suggestions ?

Its the microphone or rather, the noise cancellation algorithm. We're hoping the next update fixes it

So there is nothing to do for now? In my opinion it is something to do with noice cancellation algorithm.

Best you can do for now is ensure the build.prop has the below entries
Persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false
persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=false
persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Only voicecall state is true.

Install third company apps may be my choice now.

Most people believe its software, but I believe its hardware. Maybe the Nexus 5 has a very poor microphone.
If it was software it wouldn't make sense that Google takes 8 months to release a fix so...

1) phone hasn't even been out 4 months
2) they obviously didn't know the issue existed at release
3) what's your experience of writing noise cancellation algorithms that you know how long it takes?
4) if its "hardware", why has it taken "Google" as long as "8 months" to replace the microphone?
5) how come disabling the noise cancellation in build prop for phone calls removes the issue in phone calls if its hardware?
Believe what you want, but you have no more insight than anyone else and no evidence to suggest anything

Nexus 5 Mic issue

So I have this issue on my Nexus 5 where when I record something, it makes this HORRIBLE background noise, extremely bad, and I was just wondering if any of you guys have this as well? Because I just got my first RMA on Wednesday, and I don't want to have to get another one, was wondering if you guys know what it's about, and how to fix it and if not so that I can get another RMA.

I did actually, most of them just gave descriptions of a small hissing sound in the background, and the only page that i've found a post similar to mine, is a article, in which people can only comment, and they describe their issue to be a bit more like hissing and not this almost rain pouring down kind of noise.
I wouldn't make another thread for something I know is already out there.

Can you make an example recording?
Edit.. sorry maybe that's what your link is

It's there on the google drive link.

By the way I'm on Purity ROM with r35 from franco, on ART and with Viper4android, that's about it, issue began today, in my house while I was recording a video of my dog.
That's about all there is to it. I haven't done anything else to my Nexus 5 other than that
EDIT: now I'm almost sure it's not a software issue, i tried other cameras such as Snap Camera and the Instagram camera and snapchat camera, and they all have the same noise. Unless the noise cancellation is the issue, and all these apps use the Nexus 5 noise cancellation feature.

That's really loud but is it always like that? Perhaps its a result of your environment. What if you cover over the noise canc mic?
Its not so much hissing that's the issue. The sound is cancelled when it shouldn't be

Thanks, I just tried that, and it's not the environment, the room during the recordings is dead quiet. I tried covering both mics. but the issue is still there. and no, it wasn't always this loud, from what I remember, it was working fine at the beginning of the video with my dog, and then suddenly that weird noise began

Not sure if you're rooted or not but to rule out software, do a full wipe. Still a problem? RMA. There's definitely a bigger issue there than the standard issue as shown in my video

Faulty touch screen when typing fast

Whenever I type fast the screen registers touches that I don't do or small swipes. I originally thy thought it was my fault but now I'm noticing it more often.
Does anyone else have this issue? Maybe its a kernel issue or hardware? Using PA with Franco kernel
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Here you can see when I'm taping each side alternatively it registers another touch further in the middle, doesn't always happen but enough to be annoying.
OK its pretty hard to see, try yourself using screen touch test

I thought I was the only one with this issue. I was gonna reap my fingers off. Wow.
Anyways, I heard CM is issuing a fix coz it has to do with the kernel.
So let's hope there's a fix.
Sent from my One using Tapatalk

i've noticed this as well - can't wait for a fix i hate having to type slow -.-

omg this is one of the BIGGEST issues i'm having with the phone
when i type fast it sometimes registers a swipe left or down which will either delete the last word (Swiftkey) or make the keyboard disappear
its SOOO annoying...
i really hope this is a software issue that can be addressed
i'm coming from the Nexus 5 which was super solid and accurate for typing
i even tried disabling all screen gestures as per the other OPO threads but there isnt any difference

Same here, but for me some times the app i am typing on gets minimized. Does this happen to anyone else?

Personally I've never had that but I was only using cm11s for 1 day before I moved to Paranoid android. Maybe that's a ROM issue? I've heard of someone else having the same issue as you though
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I installed SwiftKey keyboard and see if it helped that issue. Sorry to inform, not by much if at all. Coming from a nexus 5 too and I thought I just wasn't adjusted to the screen size but it is happening regularly enough to make me suspicious.

this issue is becoming a showstopper for me
its like...70% accuracy or less
either it will have a phantom swipe to left or down for me, which will either delete the last word or make my keyboard disappear
i didnt have any of these issues with my N5. I have my N5 right beside me too and i type the exact same speed and its 100% accurate
something is totally off with the OPO touchscreen and i REALLY hope its a software related issue..

SwiftKey only helps the issue because it is better than Google keyboard at correcting errors when you type. The screen still had the same issue.
Surely hope this is a kernel driver issue that can be fixed. It has been noted by many people and apparently they are working on it or it has been at least acknowledged. I would be surprised if they we would let these phones go out faulty like this without knowing there was a resolution that could be reached....

Got my OPO in the mail on its way. Yet another thing to be concerned about.
Also currently running a nexus 5.

I thought it was my own personal error this whole time. Hope it can be fixed with a software update!

Guys, please help us all out and vote on this issue in JIRA to make it as visible as possible to the CM devs. Create a JIRA account, and then on the right, Vote for the issue and then watch it as well. Also, if you can, comment on it too.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-55
There are a LOT of people complaining about this issue, and many of us are nervously waiting to find out if it's a hardware or software issue. I'm personally hoping it's a kernel fix that needs to be done on CM's side, or it's something that can be fixed with a firmware update from JDI.

BTW - for more visibility , I found this official JIRA ticket for the issue:
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-55
I hope it gets more exposure. I'm surprised more people haven't complained about this because it's awful.
It's really the only major issue for me though, everything about the phone has been pretty great
*EDIT
oh lol, looks like someone beat me to it haha

I am actually relieved to see other people experiencing this. I use Swiftkey almost exclusively, installed it first thing, and I thought they must have done something, because I have had to focus on slowing down how quickly I type. I am bummed to know it's my phone but relieved to know it's not just me.

It's being fixed in an update, it's a bug in the Kernel that is going to be fixed.

No one said its a kernel issue on JIRA. I was the one who posted the issue first on XDA and someone replied to me and took the initiative to put it on JIRA. I've been following this from day 1, and the CM devs said they're looking into it. Never said if it will be fixed or not. We can only hope.
Also please notice the CM devs may have accidentally merged two issues into BACON-55. Please only talk on BACON-55 if your issue is related to fast typing and the multitouch issues.

It was a joke but it could really damage

There is no one anywhere that will say its the 100% safe to use mod like this. Not even the tech support from the manufacturer itself. If that would be 100% safe for the speaker or the phone itself, it would have it implemented. The sound is, how to say, its not real stereo, it separates some higher frequencies to call speaker and lower to phone speaker. You can hear the difference. I tested it with some songs that have moving stereo sound to make sure.

I personally leave songs playing over night but it does not harm my speaker
100% safe from my side
you test and use it...... your own way

Any way of getting true stereo separated sound and not only separated by some frequencies?

Wow

Way to keep an old thread alive. Go here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/themes-apps/mod-surround-sound-testers-t3252659 for a different kind of sound. But what you're asking, no, it's not possible. The earphone speaker is far less powerful than the lower speaker, so it wouldn't be able to play all the frequencies and it would also have to play them at a lower volume to avoid distortions.
