http://forum.slimroms.net/topic/3196-current-bugs-from-the-8-weeklys/
Hey y'all. I was told to file a thread here about the issues I'm currently facing in the latest weekly with this ROM. If this is the wrong place for it, please move it as needed.
Current bugs I'm facing at this time:
When using speaker phone, the default microphone is using the one on the back of the phone (there are 2 microphones on the M7)
Certain applications like WeChat the front speakers do no engage when your start a video chat. The other user is able to hear you but you are unable to hear them (configuration issues maybe?)
These are the issues I currently have with it so far. I'll update the thread when I encounter more along the way.
Fongo is another application where the microphone pickup is on the rear instead of the bottom of the phone

This seemed to only recently have come up.. but the handset microphone does not pick up sound nearly as well. It is maybe 1/10th the amplitutde. I've tested phone calls to myself (to GVoice headphones, other phones, etc.) and the speaker mic works great. When you take it off speaker mode it barely picks up sound at all.
When I use Evernote voice note recorder or a simply voice recorder I get similar results of extremely attenuated sound.
I do not _believe it is a CM10/custom ROM issue as this new behavior seems to have only started recently (past 2 days?) and was running the same stable ROM the whole time. I haven't yet isolated, but it could be a bluetooth problem (doubtful) - as I recently paired with two devices sometime in the past 3 days, or maybe some App has taken control over the amplification of the handset microphone.. but I install/uninstall so many apps to test throughout any given day this would be hard to isolate.
Has anyone had this issue before??
I'll go ahead and reset to a clean ROM, stock ROM, etc. and see what results I get, but I wanted to post a Q first to see if anyone ran into the same issue. Thanks in advance!

On MY OPO No Nougat ROMs Provide Front Speaker (Earpiece) Audio During Phone Call--Only Speakerphone Works.
Using TWRP 3.0.2-0, I have installed almost every available Nougat ROM, with varying degrees of GApps, and my phone doesn't have a working front speaker (earpiece) during calls with any of them, using either the stock dialer, or the Google Phone downloaded from the Play Store.
If your phone is behaving the same way, please post your logcats here along with a brief description of what you've tried to fix it, or what did fix it.
Also, if you are experiencing this issue, did you ever use Msm8974DownloadTool.exe to recover from a HARD BRICK? I'm looking for something in common with other phones with this issue, and so far this is the only thing I can think of that could possibly make my phone different from any other phones in which the front speaker does work.
Hopefully, someone has a fix, or will see something reparable.
Thanks,
pbergonzi

EDIT:
FIXED:
As of 2016/11/02, ROM's are coming with the front speaker (earpiece) working properly.
If you don't plan on using any newer Nougat ROM, or if yours doesn't work, you might try the fix @kwoktopus provided in his post:

Don't know how to log cat, but, I have never used Msm8974DownloadTool.exe before and am getting the same issue with the ear piece. I did however find a 7.1 rom that worked, but the video recorder didn't work. I used the tuga 7.1 rom yesterday, earpiece worked, I'm using Nitrogen OS today, earpiece is not working. I hope this helps someone find a solution... I don't think a logcat would help from this rom and I don't feel like flashing back and forth. Everything else on this rom is working flawlessly.
Just noticed you have a tutorial linked on how to logcat, but like I said, I'm on a rom with the same issue so I don't feel like it would help. Try Tuga or whatever it's called and see if you can get it to work.
I have the exact same issue on all Nougat ROMs I tried (Slim7, PureNexus, etc.). Both the earpiece and microphone does not work in calls. The only way I could hear the other person and the other person could hear me was when I was on Speaker or using headsets.
I have now switched back to M. Will send my logcat after I install N again.
After @Hig13's response, I reinstalled TugaPower N3 and N4, and both worked with the front speaker! I'm very glad, thank you @danieldmm.
I hope other devs are able to implement what he has done.
I'm not finished with N ROM's yet though.
Edit: As of 2/11/2016, TugaPower N4 ROM has working video recording. Big congrats to danieldmm.

Hi Guys,
well, the mic issue is not really an unknown to OPO users - I have never experienced such issue, but some time ago my mom let me know she has problems with mic for long time now (she has inherited my OPO), so there I went - looking for an intel regarding this issue.
I have come across some standard fixes for Cyanogen (the last official one by OPO themselves):
- blow out dust/debris from the microphones (done with a vacuum cleaner),
- remove TrueCaller, voice recorder, turn off "Ok google" recogniton (basically not a problem for us, we have Slovak language, thus no support anyway),
- tried other services - like Viber and it worked perfectly!
- tried speaker mode - worked!
So after this I came into the conclusion maybe a drop or something has damaged or something the rear mic for ambient noise suppression (maybe?).
But then I found some info the CnM is the problem itself, so I have just switched to the LineageOS (it is not really a change when I am thinking about it now, well is it?), but this has not helped, still the same problem.
I have found this too and applied too, but, again, no success.
Do you happen to have any other suggestion? How is it possible Viber works? Can be some app such as Viber used as the phone app too?
Thank you, in an advance...and I hope we will come to some conclusions here, I am wasted from all of this...

Just a little search,and look what I found!

Oh, I thought I will get around it without a root, thus why I did not try any of the "must be rooted" approaches. But yes, it is fixed now, however...
This is a very unwanted outcome - the phone has been used for recording band's sessions as well where the mic array was used fully, but now calls, yes, are ok, but the recording quality is horrid - basically it was recording like when you switch a call to the speaker mode, where other microphones were recording too and giving that full-bodied sound, now it is like through a gaming headset with a noise cancellation.
What is this issue caused by, anyway? Is it because of a damage of one of the microphones?
Anyone? The rear mic was really handy for the music recording (full sounding). Is it possible to make it somehow toggleable?
Hi, everyone. I have Lenovo K900 Android version: 4.2.1. Recently I changed the battery since then my mic hasn't been working during phone calls, both regular calls and on WhatsApp. Although it works perfectly when shooting a video, making an audio recording, voice searching etc., only during calls. It's not completely broken if I shout right into the mic the receiver can hear me
very badly (as if I was talking underwater or from very far). Other things to point out:
1) I can hear people well, so there is no problem with my speakers.
2) Using speaker (in order to enhance the mic) during a call doesn't help at all.
3) It has a very problematic back cover, so it took a lot of physical effort to open it, so my suspicion is that mic could have been damaged, though it seems unlikely since it works very well outside the calls.
4) Using a headset mic during phone calls works perfectly.
5) I don't have a warranty.
Some things I've tried so far to fix the problem:
1) Hard reset the system (twice), both normal reset and hard reset (thus deleting all the apps, so I'm doubtful, it could be a software problem)
2) Turned off "Background Voice Cancellation" and put mic quality to "bright".
3) Turned off "Ok google" voice option.
4) Made sure that it wasn't my fingers covering the mic causing the problem
5) Rebooting the system multiple times.
6) Using headset during the call, ending the call with headset on and only then taking it off in hopes to reset built-in mic settings.
7) Downloading "Sound About" app.
None of these options helped, even slightly.
I really believe that it's fixable since the mic works everywhere apart from calls, and even there it works, just unbearably quiet. I have one last idea left, which is to change the Android version completely, maybe upgrade it. Please, if you have any ideas, respond, this bug is driving me crazy. Thanks, everyone, in advance for your help!

So guys please help me out here, I recently update to 12.5 and did not test the microphone below this version, I got the phone and installed the update, I notice that it brigs a lot of bugs but I don't now if the problem I'm facing is a bug, error or malfunction. When I use any app that use the microphone the audio is not recorded properly, nothing it's recorded in the first 4 second after that it happen a BIP followed by another one and then record normally, the first BIP when listened with a headphone it's responsible for the left side and the second for the right(recording with any external microphone works fine), I can't show to you guys that's why I describe. I can't send it back so anyone are having this same problem, know anything... ? Thanks!
