After diving into some of the files in the oneplus one, I found some file values that once changed, make the microphone actually strong enough to recognize ok google from an arm's distance away. This is essential for using speakerphone, skype, any recording application, as well as google now. I was tired of having people go WAT ARE YOU SAYING repeatedly.
You will need a rooted Oneplus One with some sort of root explorer.
I used Root Explorer (File Manager) by Speed Software
1. Go to system/etc/mixer_paths.xml
2. Mount system as R/W
3. Open up mixer_paths.xml with Text Editor
4. Scroll close to the bottom of the text, your little scroll position indicator should be about an inch up from the bottom of your screen(no on screen buttons)
5. You will see <!-- Analog input devices --> and a bunch of text underneath.
6. I wasn't entirely sure which mic would make this work so I changed the <path name+"main-mic"> value from 84 to 100. (Play around with the value until you find a sweet spot.) IF YOU GET ENVIRONMENTAL MICROPHONE INTERFERENCE, TRY TURNING THE VALUES BACK DOWN A BIT.
7. Save the changed mixer_paths.xml and reboot your device for good measure
Enjoy your actually functional microphone! I hope that CM11s fixes this in an update shortly. It is not fixed as of July 4, 2014

Thanks for this workaround.
I'm wondering if you know how to enable lock screen wake up hotword. Is it working in current version of cyanogenmod 11s? As I now, it should be something like "OK, oneplus" and phone wakes up from a black screen. Thanks.

This is not working yet. There's an update on OP forums (https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/ok-oneplus-update.46934/) saying that there's a further delay.
As an OPO owner, I have confirmed the shipped version of the phone with XNPH22R and XNPH25R do not have a working screen off "Ok Google/HeySnapdragon/OK OnePlus"

Does this only affect OK Google? I'm wondering if affects other mic input like voice calls, etc. I don't want my voice to sound booming while on calls because of this change... lol
is it possible to root without wipe/reinstall CM?
I did it to the "t" and it only gave me force closes. Audiofx wouldn't stop even afteri freezer the all disabled it and force stopped. I'm running usa version of the oneplus. I had to reinstall cm11s

Yea likewise minus the reinstall since I am smart. OP something is not right when we touch this file. It seems to delete a lot of the stuff. I managed to fix it in TWRP, mount system, and adb push the fixed file. Their is an easier way to do this operation using a shell script and the busy box command, "SED" which will place an exact line with what you tell it to. I am in the process of creating one since this hack really helps a lot.

OK Snapdragon works on earlier versions of ColorOS with the screen off.
In later versions they took out the support for the OK Snapdragon command and replaced it with their garbage chinese voice control app.

This fix didn't work for me.
I set all 3 values to 100 and Google Now still can't hear me until I press the microphone button.
I think the problem is not that the volume is too low. I think the problem is that the mic doesn't get turned on until you touch the microphone button.
Edit: This actually seems to be a problem with my specific phone. I'm sorry about that.

Can you give a quick explanation of how you adb push the fixed XML? I'd rather not have to completely reinstall to fix one file.

I'm thinking of trying this but hesitant due to the problems others are having. If we run into an issue can we just restore a nandroid and everything will be fine? Thanks
Tried but didn't work for me.
*edit* It does work. Is it supposed to work from the home screen though? If i go into my google now it will work without hitting the microphone but not from the home screen. Just wondering.
Worked great for me, used the stock CM file browser/editor and carefully edited it correctly. no issues. Voice transcription quality is greatly improved, OK Google (On google now screen) is much more reactive.
OK Google (or OK One Plus) is not working on the home screen, but that is to be expected, https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/ok-oneplus-update.46934/ The developers need to re-record the hotword sound files and we will need to get an update to have this function enabled. That problem is unrelated to the low microphone sensitivity.
Thank you so much for posting this fix! Just got my OPO today and was getting fed up w/ "OK Google" not working. Arms length my ass haha. I used Root Explorer as well and no issues.
I set the main-mic to 95 and the anc-mic to 90. Will play around more. :good:

Thanks! Honestly I don't think I'll be rooting mine though..
Hey I just came back to say I figured out why hotword detection was not working sometimes.
Some apps you install which use Notification Access prevent Google Search from opening the microphone channel.
Pushbullet is one app that is known to do that.
Worked like a charm. On 64GB Oneplus One, the Chinese version.
Thanks a million.
I received my OPO this past Saturday. Coming from an awesome LG G2 experience I was a bit disappointed that I had to be about no more that 5 inches from the phone to get it to hear OK Google. My phone sits in the cupholder in my truck while driving and I have come to really like the OK Google feature on my G2.
This edit fixed it!
Hopefully the CM11s team will clear it up in the next update.
Thank you.
I recommend using the official fix here:
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/67619/
I've attached the xml (zipped) in this post. Gerrit seems to name the XML funny. Just be sure to rename it as mixers_path.xml and place it in /system/etc/ and fix the permissions (664)!
I just tried it in a meeting room and it picks up wonderfully at normal arms length distance WITHOUT having to point the microphone at me.
Edit: Wrong permissions = FC fest. If you're a noob, do a Nandroid backup.

I really want to do this but I'm too lazy to go through the root process at the current time. However the Ok Google detection completely sucks and I hope someone figures a way to repair without root or someone makes rooting the OPO quicker and easier for lazy folk like myself.
My S3 with CM on it picks up me whispering Ok Google from across a room and under a sweater...this thing can't recognize me shouting at arms length.
Hey these are just a few things that i have found that are not completely broken but annoying enough to talk about.
First one is on some apps I am getting double notifications. Not that there are 2 of the same notifications in the tray but i get 2 sound alerts and too vibrate alerts. Not every app is doing this though which leads me to believe it may be an app optimization issue. This also get translated to android wear btw.
Second is voice dictation in the Stock google keyboard. Sometimes it will fail and other times it will be fine. random issue so no really way to lock down the cause.
Third is camera sluggishness all around. Double tapping the power button is slower than it has been and in the app changing modes or viewing pictures is also a slight issue.
Anyone else have these issues?
Having the same issue with the voice dictation in Gboard. It turns on and shuts off immediately.

Have you tried 1) deleting cache, 2) toggling notification on/off in app, 3) clearing app data, and/or 4) uninstalling/reinstalling app? I would try these things in the stated order and observe the app behavior each time. Let us know how things turn out. Thanks.

I'm seeing the same on my Px and Px XL. Twitter and Slack. Clearly, the issue is app-specific. I tried all of the above but no joy. I have noticed that if the phone is not asleep, then there is no double sound. This may support your theory of app optimization. I will next try uninstalling/reinstalling the app to see if it makes a difference.
Hmm I may check this myself about the sleep issue

I am having the same double notification issues as well. Same apps, Twitter particularly. I also used the OTA directly from the August 7.1.2. In addition my battery drain has been ridiculous today. I attempted to clear cache for all apps only to find that Google has removed that control from both the OS settings as well as via stock Recovery. That's right, you can no longer format the /cache partition. I wish they'd at least moved it into Developer options instead of removing it entirely.
I've manually cleared Google Play services data and cache for several apps showing high battery usage in the new battery settings. I've also limited background usage for apps like Facebook, Snapchat, etc.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled Twitter with the hope that the app will register under O [perhaps properly] and resolve the issue. No joy. I would seem that the app devs for Twitter, Slack, Tapatalk, etc. will need to fix the code to work under O. I recently saw another app updated with "Fixed Android O notifications" in the change log.
Relatedly, I have a custom ringtone set with Twitter, but the double tone I hear is the phone's default tone. I have not been able to get the custom-selected tone to play. Something else for Twitter to fix.

For wiping cache, if you are rooted or bootloader unlocked, you can use Flashfire or boot to TWRP.
My battery life on O (observed on two Pixels) is definitely not as good as N.
Weird. Battery life for me is incredibly better. I mean like.. Is there a reporting problem? How can this be so much better? Only one day in but I'm liking what I see.

For the double notification sound, my workaround is to use Lightflow. I already had it for other purposes, so I set the native app [e.g., Twitter] for no sound and set LF to make the sound. All is good.

I meant is the battery indicator reporting it wrong. I was being facetious but I have not noticed any unusual battery drain. On N when I used Strava and gps for 3 hours or so I'd end up with about 55% left and then plug in for a quick charge. On O I wound up with 67% left which was pretty good. After a few days I think there are some things that are better but overall about the same as N.
I've had it today where the screen on time in the battery stats is stuck. So it's been reading 1hr 15min screen on time regardless of how much I use it... Something is a bit off with battery reporting it seems
Regarding the double sound, this is what I have discovered:
1) Go to Twitter app and set the notification for no sound
2) Go to settings/apps/Twitter, select notifications. You will see a bunch of granular notification settings. Once I made the desired setting there, no more double sounds and the tone is what I desired.

If you do not mind sharing, how you restore all your apps data and phone settings in 10-15 mins?
I have had several issues with the final O release. I updated OTA straight from beta and even factory reset without restoring data and apps.
Definitely having the Gboard microphone issue.
Was also having a lot of wifi connectivity issues. The phone would randomly not connect to several wifi networks and started dropping wifi once connected alot.
Battery life is also atrocious especially when navigating. I used maps for 20 minutes with the screen off and had nearly a 20% drain.
I contacted project fi and received a replacement device which I'm going to keep at 7.1.2 for the time being.
Incidentally the beta worked perfectly nearly for months. All this started after the final OTA to the production release.
Like in title, my screen, sometimes is being white fors a while(like less than 1 sec),like opening an app, but nothing opens and then phone work fine. What to do, what it is? Is it virus?

I'm getting the same thing, mostly when playing a game. Will flash for a split second. Not sure what's causing it.
I don't think it's a virus tho.
Maybe its problem with system or launcher? I haven't found anything like that on internet or how to slove this
Mine is doing the same thing as well. I think at least for me it's because my RAM is getting close to making out.
Same problem
I have the same problem. Has anyone got any hints at least? It's very annoying and no other phone seems to have it.

I'm having the same issue. Screen goes kinda white for half a second and looks as it would start an app, but then goes back to what app you just had opened.
It is not a constant flickering or flashing, as reported from Samsung and other Devices and which is documented via Videos on the Net.
It would be hard to film it, as I haven't been able to reproduce thus behaviour.
When I play a game (King of Avalon) and when I'm just typing and that issue occurs, the typed text is gone. Luckily it doesn't happen while typing on WhatsApp or other apps with text features.
A while back it was almost gone, but then came back, without me having changed the app Setup.
I will reset the phone and see, if it comes back.
I still think it's an issue brought up from apps that use the GPU a lot.
Have tried different settings the Developer Options from Android (Disable HW-Overlay,...) but it didn't help.
Will report, once I have resetted, but will take a while, until I have time for testing.

Hey, I also had this problem, it helped me change the language in voice search to English and turn off "ok google". I use the phone in a different language and I also had it in voice search.
Hello fellow HTC u11 life friends -
I found this thread by Googling, so hopefully others will find it too. I have also been having this very annoying problem for several weeks. Can't remember when exactly it started. Was it after an Android update?
This problem appears to be related to the Google app settings on the phone, as the previous poster suggested. When I read his post, I went to the Google app settings (Setting --> Apps --> Google) and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but I noticed that there is a setting called Display over other apps. This was set to "yes" by default, so I changed it to "no". Since I made this change yesterday, I have not had the white screen flash once.
It seems like the Google app is being triggered briefly for whatever reason and then closing. By not allowing the app to display over others, if the app is triggered, you won't get that brief white screen like the app is about to open. At least, that's what I think. Fingers crossed the fix holds. I hope this works for others. Let me know!

Before I call you a genius, I still have to wait a bit (and of course hoping)
I just turned off different things in the Google App "show notification for ***"
In this case *** was for Price Alert, stocks alert, sports alert and so on.
Furthermore I disabled the "display over other Apps" as well.
I could imagine that this latter feature doesn't have to be turned off completely, rather than turning off all those useless alerts for stuff I've never even looked for.
Will try to go the next days to see, if that blinking is gone and if soy trying to activate the feature with almost no alerts in order to determine, what the exact culprit is.
Disabling the feature totally might do it, but if for example some alerts were useful, then it would be nice, if at least they worked out as supposed to.
Will keep you guys posted.
Fingers crossed ^^

Did turn off not only for Google but silenced many other apps as well, but still flashes.
Just deactivated "Display over other Apps" in YouTube. Maybe that helps.
Will report, if that helped.

If any of you are using Dark Knight, it's specific to that room. I'm using twin famous sick Oreo and I don't get the flash
Hi, after google update flashing comback, so i disable "OK Google enrollment" in applications system and it helped. Maybe you can just turn off the notifications, i dont know, you can try

Hey, I also had this problem, it helped me change the language in voice search to English and turn off "ok google". I use the phone in a different language and I also had it in voice search.

Tried this method and so far (1h) no flashes. Sounds reasonable, that Google is trying to send some notices to the screen and that functionality is somehow bugged. I'm fine with turning off ok, Google. Have never used it anyway. [emoji28]

Had to think at least 3 times which kinda "room" you meant, and why a room should affect a smartphone [emoji848] Then I got it rom != room [emoji16]

The white screens interval increesed and taking foto's was sometimes difficult because white screens passed by a few times per taking a foto.
Now I received 8.1 and no white screens till now (20h)

Are you using the built in Camera, or some app?
I got 8.1 too but no changes. Have to admit I'm using Google Cam Port. Might be that, because otherwise I've turned off kinda all notifications, but it's still flashing.
As mentioned earlier, I should do a full wipe and use the built in cam and such, but I don't really like it.
I'll see, when I find the time to wipe and set it up again...

I am using the built in Camera. Two days 8.1 and not a single white flash. Before the update 8.1 I had it not only with the camera app but very random. I hope you will find a solution. I found it very annoying.

I really have no clue, which app causes those issues. Will try the built-in cam for testing.
If it still persists, I really have to reset the phone.
Thx. I'll find a way and yes, it's pretty much annoying

After 4 days a minor white flash returns during scrolling for apps in the app store. I immidiately implemented the above quoted solution and since then no white flash. :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:

Just turned it off. Didn't think about the system processes before.
Will report, if anything changed. Thx for that hint so far, sounds promising

I noticed the other day I had a notification at the bottom of the screen right above the finger print sensor. It was a weather notification, typically I only see it in the morning and then it disappears. Anyone know how to keep it enabled or how it is enabled.
Here is a picture.

How did you get that? I didn't see any option to enable it
I don't know. I am on the beta version of android 10 and was hoping if someone on here knew about this. I was on DP5 before but I never saw this on the ambient screen so I am assuming it has to do with the Android 10 beta.
So if anyone knows please chime in.
It a new feature added in the dp5. Settings>Display>Ambient Display>Smart Display
I'm not saying your right or wrong, but I did look there before posting and it said nothing about weather. It only states >media and calendar<
Just enable one plus widget,and make a tap on lock screen.make sure smart display in ambient display is enabled
Can you post step by step and post a picture of your ambient display showing the weather.

It's seems to be hit and miss...it has a mind of its own and works whenever it feels like...
mine working usually early morning. without any settings
I just saw mine earlier now it's gone.
I just saw this as well. Early this morning before I went to work. Immediately jumped online to see how it happened. Now it's gone. Seems so dumb that I couldn't just have this all the time.
Edit: By the way, I'm on the regular OnePlus 7, not the Pro. Dont think it matters, but wanted to point it out.

I'm not on beta and also OP 7. So it def works, just dont know how. It happened for me this morning, then went away.
I'm on stable 10 on oneplus 6 and noticed the same this morning. Googled and found this thread. Bizarre that it only shows in the morning and has no setting.
Hi,
I have owned Find X2 Pro for about 3 weeks now. I have noticed that my notification is not appearing when the phone is locked. It only shows up when I unlocked my phone.
I know Oneplus also has this issue but can be fixed by disable battery optimization.
Is there any thing I should disable or enable in order to alert me when my phone is locked.?
Have you tried going in to Privacy<Lock Screen and then selecting show notifications

Hi mate. Did you sort this out? I have the exact same issue. As soon as screen is locked, no notifications. If I knew this I would not have bought the phone. Thanks for any help you may give.

I was disappointed to discover there is no notification LED on this phone, so wanted to find a way to overcome that. I'm not sure it's exactly the same issue you've found, but maybe the solution is the same?
There are several ways to replicate the missing notification indicator, but the one I've been using since I got the Oppo is NotifyBuddy. Although there is a free version (link below), I quickly paid a small amount of money to unlock all its features. This means that notifications appear on my lock screen in the form of app icons - you can select the size, colour and which ones you want to show from a list of all your installed apps. I've set mine to blink on and off at one second intervals and for NotifyBuddy to not show any notifications when the phone is in Do Not Disturb mode. A double-tap brings up the lock-screen fingerprint sensor, so it's easy to open the phone without even picking it up.
This is my preferred set-up, but the program is very flexible. It does consume some battery power because I've set it to run in the background (which seems pretty essential to me) but the extra drain is very small.
You can get it from the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy&hl=en
Thank you John for your reply,
I do not think this will solve my issue nor the original posters issue. When the phone blinks out and goes into its hibernation state/lock screen state and has been idle for quite some time, no notifications come through until the phone has been picked up or woken up then all the notifications flood in. I have tried all sorts of things to get the notifications to work when the phone is in this state but it just does not work. However, if the always on display is on, all notifications work perfectly as the phone is not in that hibernation/resting state. I am not sure this app would help until this aspect is resolved, unless in your experience it has fixed the issue?
Thank you for your reply.

I don't know if this will solve your issue, but, have you tried to turn the "sleep stand by optimization" off?

I have just tried this now. So by locking the apps in they should notify regardless yes?

When the phone was in hibernation, I wasn't getting any notifications through either. The app I suggested solved this. Now I get notifications immediately, whatever the phone's state.

Hi John,
That is good to know. I am currently trying Tobias14's suggestion, if this does not work I will most definitely try yours. Thanks again.

Also whilst I am thinking about this, supposedly lock screen magazine can impact notifications if it is turned off so I have enabled this too.
Cheers.
I thought I'd add a photo of my Oppo Find X2 Pro showing how notifications appear on my lock-screen whilst the phone is locked. This is thanks to the NotifyBuddy app which I've discussed earlier in this thread.
Sadly, I seem unable to embed the photo, so here's a link to it:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/john_gass/50301729781/in/dateposted-public/
It shows three simultaneous notifications... Twitter, WhatsApp and TypeApp (which is my preferred email app). The strange position of the icons is because I set up NotifyBuddy's ability to move the icons around to avoid any possibility of OLED screen burn-in.
And finally, I have no connection with this app except that I've been really pleased with it and feel it deserves a bit of promotion!

I am facing the same issue on my oppo reno 8, in my case sleep standby optimization is turned on, because of which I am not getting notifications on lock screen. Make sure you turn off sleep standby optimization. Settings>>Battery>>Advanced settings>>sleep standby optimization.
