[Completed] Samsung Galaxy Express l8730 audio problem - XDA Assist

EDIT: Assistance is no longer needed, I have found the solution.
Hello everyone!
I'd like to post an issue I've been having with custom ROMs on the Galaxy Express l8730.
The stock ROM works flawlessly and without a problem.
But the problem comes when I flash CM11 or CM12 there is an audio problem I cannot seem to understand and I haven't found it anywhere on XDA.
The problem is :
1. Playing music or any other audio on the phone is sped up at approximately 1.5x speed.
2. Call audio is horrible, with distortion similar to something like a robotic chipmunk (my guess being the phone tries to play the call audio in 1.5x speed but can't since it's obviously real time audio).
In the ROMs thread there was someone mentioning wrong baseband, I have tried to flash the latest stock ROM with the right baseband and flashing CM11/CM12 again but the problem persists.
Anyways, these problems are extremely frustrating and have seriously put me off installing a custom rom on my Galaxy Express.
So if anyone has any clue, solutions or fixes for this sort of thing, please please PLEASE help me.
Kind regards,
Gal

I go back to stock after flashed to different ROMs

Somehow both Light Sinister and AOSP (from faux123) can't solve ogg vorbis tag reading problem (it only happens on this phone). It's good I have the nandroid backup from CWM recovery (I made a backup before flashing) and now I go back to what I was using.
I reported the issue to LG and their developers are aware of that. This is the only issue bothers me. I have no sudden shutdown or reboot with original ROM (I encountered few times even I tested).
The worst of your problems was a tag reading problem that lg knows aboit so you went back to stock? Sometimes I wonder what goes thru people's heads. I can see going back to stock for Bluetooth issues or dropwd calls or signal or battery issues
G2x with CM7 and faux 1.7 kernel. [email protected] 5009 quadrant.
ALL ROM (including original) have same ogg vorbis tag reading problem.
I tried some different custom ROM to see any improvement. I have seldom reboot/shutdown problem, and the backlight bleeding isn't that bad to return.
However, if LG is unable to offer a fix for that, I may sell it and get Samsung Hercules.

All that for a audio file ??? Whoa why not use flac or mp3 @320kbps, I know I know mp3 is very lossy but can you really tell using headphones?

[Q] Is there a fix for upside down video on these custom Roms?

Regarding video calling with T-Mobile Video Chat by Qik or Oovoo, I seem to be upside down to the person on the other end of the call. This problem was not apparent when I was using the stock Rom out of the box but started after I flashed my first custom rom (ARHD 3.6). I have flashed to InsertCoin since then and still have the same problem with video calls. To those of you that are on T-Mobile I would like to ask if any of you can please help me test out if this is a problem with my phone only or if it happens in all T-Mobile Sensation 4Gs with custom ROMs. I will be flashing back to stock and seeing if the problem persists. Will let you know my results tomorrow.

[Q] Bluetooth Headset Crackling / Popping noises

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.

Cyanogenmod/Carbon Rom call problems on Galaxy S3 I9300

Hi all,
As im new here i couldn’t post this on the development posts so have had to drop this here for now. I know there have been other related threads like this but my situation seems to be more unique and more annoying :crying:
After rooting my galaxy s3 I have had numerous call problems on both cyanogenmod and Carbon Roms. It started with cyanogenmod 9.1 stable and experienced problems where there was no sound at either end of the call, sometimes I could hear the other person speaking but they couldnt hear me. Other times when i answered the phone I would hear them speak but there voice would be distorted, sounding more like a robot. Theses problem would usually be fixed by either me or them calling back.
Thinking this had been fixed on a cyanogenmod nightly I tried them... however this seemed to make no difference, even on the newer versions.
Fed up I moved onto carbon Rom (despite this being cyanogenmod based) and have had the same problems with even the very latest build thou the distorted sound just became more common, even after a whole month of use.
I have now moved onto the liquid smooth Rom in hope i wont have the same problem... if this fails then its back to the old stock Rom
Has anyone else had the same problem or heard of this before??? Any feedback would be appreciated =)
Many thanks
Distorted sound on liquid smooth to.... =(
Yes! I have been having the same problem I think. I have looked everywhere and haven't been able to find a solution let alone another person describing the problem. About one in every 6 or 7 calls has a bubbly distorted sound but the person on the other end can hear me OK. I'm running CM 10.1 on a GS3 i747m. Did you find a solution or find anyone else with a similar problem?

If this is any help and I know its late, but carbon ROM is based on many cyanogenmod parts (the MMS app, many features and I'm sure the phone app). If you are having problems going to on cyanogenmod the problem is likely to ocurr in carbon, AOKP or Paranoid android are less likely to have the same problems though.
You have to go back to stock rom .. eliminate binnary status.
and then take it to a Samsung service center.
I think the galaxy s3 is no damage on the hardware you
sorry i use translate.google
I can't agree. I have the same problem and need to reboot each time. I've flashed about 10 different ROMS. This problem only exists on cyanogenmod. I have no clue, but I've been looking for an answer for some time now.
