Ambient light!
Great work! The ROM is pretty stable and fast. Good battery life also.
The only issue is that the "wake up when picked up" feature is not working.

@Alberto96 Can our S4 get Screen Off Gestures(Double Tap to wake) ?
That's a awesome feature

Why does the sound disappearing bug even occur??

If Temperature exceeds the limit, the Sound Chipset turns OFF automatically to safeguard it, like at first boot the Temp is very high that's why we loose sound. To turn it back ON we need to make a call.
Hit Tanks if helped

The initial thread in "Original Android Development" tells us that the audio bug is still there.
However, I wished that this issue would get a higher priority.

This procedure does only help a few people. For me as for others, the occurrence is totally random.

I never faced Sound disappearing issue randomly when temp exceeds, the sound automatically disappear.

Sound disappears after a long time vibration mode or plugged in earpiece.

I am glad that this works for you. But I guess (= no know) that many things depend of and influence the audio driver (which I understand from @Alberto96 causes the problem), so that every kind of different configuration can change the behavior. I am sure that more research has to be done before we can see a solution.
If @Alberto96 has a better explanation, it would be nice to read it here.
Edit: I read it and understood it wrong. So, my comment is nonsense. But it seems that the sound disappearance happens after different triggers (temperature, vibration, headset plugged in...)

I'm trying to make a call, but the call is muted. Sometimes I can hear, it seems that depends on the person, has phone number that I can hear, already has others who do not. Attached logcat.

Agg. Google Camera. Rustling Fund

As the title suggests we (at least those who N5) had to upgrade to the camera of google. For heaven's sake in this post is not to say, you no good bad etc. .. But I want to put an attention on the video. You doing various tests from yesterday to today I noticed (unfortunately) an annoying noise in the video is that in FHD 480p. The bug or problem, call it what you want, persists in all kinds of resolution that you put. Arises especially in confined spaces, such as a room or whatever at home, standing in silence and making a normal recovery. Below I have uploaded a little video to show you Yuotube on this issue. To you a review!
Edit: obviously the video was shot in 1080p, this should sentisi more noise or background noise.

In fact, restoring an old bakup I noticed that in the old version the problem persists. As you said the bug there for months. Hopefully with the update 4.4.3 solve.

Horrible call quality

Hey all,
Everything was fine and dandy with calls being loud and clear, until about a few days ago.
One day the call quality from my side just randomly went from great to terrible.
I can hear the other side just fine, but from my side its really low-volume and barely hearable.
Things I've tried:
-Flashing different radios (25R,30O,33R,Find7, radio from the latest nightlies)
-Flashing different ROMs and kernels
-Switching network modes (LTE, 3g, 2g)
-Combinations of the above
If anyone has experience dealing with issues like this/knows anything to improve the call volume from my side, any help would be very much appreciated.

You are not alone, I've had similar issues. For me speaker phone still works perfect, its just my voice during a regular call that's terrible.

Yup, the speakerphone works great but its inconvenient.
Gutted to have such a basic function impaired.
Hopefully this issue will be fixed by the next OTA, which should be next week around Monday.
Same here. My call quality is really bad. When I am speaking on the phone I'm typically running around desperately trying to find a quieter place, with the phone held up to my left ear and a finger plugged right into my other ear, hunched over like Quasimodo in a desperate attempt to understand 50% of what the other person is saying.
I learned one thing from the OPO. You actually do get exactly what you pay for. Lesson learned. :good:
win
So, after updating to the latest version of vanir and re-flashing the 33R radio, my in-call volume magically got back to normal.
I wish everyone affected best of luck and patience :fingers-crossed:
OPO hype much more than the phone deserves. Not going to last long

@Kiahnlliya I agree with you 100%. Same lesson learned. In fact, if it was not for the invite system, I wouldn't have bought this phone. I just had to own the phone, most difficult to buy.

@Kiahnlliya @jrior001 @latenightchameleon My in call audio volume from the earpiece is really very low & muffled. I think I am audible on the other end, coz haven't got any complaints from people talking to me. I am on stock 33R unrooted. This is really annoying & really hope I can get rid of this issue with a firmware upgrade.

You should try the latest cm nightlies, they've pushed a bunch of improvements to audio and volumes.
It's a very simple fix if rooted. You need to edit a value in mixer_paths.xml. Some custom ROMs increase the value.

No you'll need root or custom recovery to flash the zip unfortunately. Otherwise you will need to wait for your ROM to be updated. CM have merged this in their commits so hopefully if your on stock CM11S you'll see this in the next update.
thanks alot mate for the fix.

Hey i was having the same robotic voice on the reciever's side as well and i found a simple fix for it! just disable the "ok google" detection and delete your voice recording as well. It worked for me.. It might work for you as well.

[Q] speaker "explode" noise

when on max volume, the speaker will make a loud horrible crackling noise( like its exploding ) this will only happen in certain songs.
pretty sure my speaker is broken, or maybe its software?
what should i do?
Try to do the same thing on another OnePlus One. If its happening there too, maybe try another rom. If its still happening, it is the song.

Which ROM are you on? I'm guessing you're on CM12 (or some lollipop based ROM) I notice that same crackling noise on max volume (speaker) when I play Clash of Clans. Just reduce it one volume step down and the noise disappears (only solution till it's fixed). Otherwise wait for stable CM12S. If you're on CM11S/CM11 then that's not good

Yes I can hear it on Zeta ringtone. As I mentioned earlier its a lollipop issue (its still in beta), only solution is to be patient until CM fix it or reduce one step below max or go back to CM11s/CM11 (because that's stable).

I just got this phone last night and spent the morning rooting it to install viper4android and Im pretty disappointed at how low the volume is with this phone even with everything maxed. My $40 budget Samsung blew this thing out of the water volume wise.
Is there no way to mod any of the sound files to get more volume from the DAC? I notice there is no default_gain.conf like Samung phones and Mixer_paths.xml is blank. This is a great phone but the sound is an absolute bummer.

Pair V4A with Dolby Atmos. This is what I did and volume drastically increased.

He already did.
After adding Atmos to the v4a I was able to get a small increase by turning on virtualizer and volume leveler. It's still not too my liking but it definitely is better which I am grateful for.
There is nothing you can edit manually as far as gain or headphone volume in any config/XML files on this thing? These audio apps are able to make a difference but it's nowhere near enough. On my phone the 2/3 volume to full volume really doesn't change at all only the slider changes position.
some dev could pls try to port stereo speakers mod which is available for mi 3 which makes earpiece has speaker

[Q] Running SULTAN and earpiece is very weak - fix?

Hi.
So it seems that for some odd reason, SULTAN (dev) decided to lower the speaker volume in his ROM.
I found THIS LINK which should help:
But - and pardon my noobishness here - I don't seem to find directory.
1. Do I need a special file explorer to reach this directory?
2. Do I need to be rooted (i am not)?
Thanks!

Thanks! That's a no no for me. I am not willing to root my phone.
I guess a different rom then.
It confuses me why would a developer REDUCE the earpiece volume.
Any outside noise during a call, and I can't hear a word being said to me by the other side. This is major deal-breaker. Weird. Perhaps I am missing something as to why was this done by the dev.
