low speaker volume after installing a custom rom - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello every one ,
i have a problem with my speaker after installing a custom ROM "kangvip" .. at first everything was fine but after a while it just seams that the speaker volume is so low now and the sound isn't clear ether so i installed a new loud speaker part but still got the same result so i thought it should be a software problem so i went back to stock firmware but still with same problem than i tried to access engineering mode to raise the volume of the speaker and i tried alot of codes that works with others to access it but with no success even with mkt engineering mode app i got a message " cant find mkt engineering app "
what should i do ?

In Call Volume

My in call volume is VERY low, it was working fine previously (a few days ago) but today, it has been almost impossible to hear anything, it is working but it definitely isn't possible to have a proper conversation.
So, I was attempting to get a train, and it was delayed by close to an hour, I needed to be somewhere, and my phone was impossible to use...
I tried rebooting, changing volumes etc. but nothing worked, I tried Googling and edited the ear volume in the mixer file, which seemed to improve it slightly when increased to 93. I then upped it again to 100. This caused the Audio FX program to crash, after every reboot I get constant notifications saying it has crashed. I cannot do anything on the phone itself.
How can I edit the file from my Mac, I have adb and fastboot and have used them before, but don't know how I can edit a system file, as I don't have root permissions from my laptop. How can I edit the file, is it possible to boot to AROMA without flashing, or edit the file from the command line from my mac? Or just stop the notifications so I can edit the file from my device itself?
Anyway, once that's fixed... I need to resolve the problem anyway. What can I do? It wasn't like this a few days ago, so i think it's more likely to be a hardware problem :/
I am assuming you are rooted and if so simply re-flash the rom and set everything back to normal

...Oh yeah, I didn't think of that. Where can I get the ROM from? I normally just flash them from my Mac, but I read that OnePlus took the ROM file down and made it difficult to flash, because people were doing it to the Chinese phones.
I can do it via Terminal or TWRP. Also, do I just leave off the -w flag when flashing?
what rom do you have stock? If so just search the forum and download it to your phone. If you only manipulated one file then find that file if you can and simply use adb to push it back to your phone and overwrite the one you have messed up.

Yeah thats where you messed up, the max value for in-call volume is 93. By having it above it, you're causing problems with the phone.

just flash that in recovery (adb sideload) and it should stop force closing.

Yeah stock. When using push it tells me that it's a read only filesystem, is there a way I can use sudo to do this or something? It's rooted, and I have BusyBox installed.

its a system file I assume and if so you have to mount your system file prior to pushing it over. adb remount is the command or in recovery navigate to mount and check off system then use adb to push it to your phone. When done uncheck system and reboot

Ah okay, I thought it may have been 99 didn't realise it was 93! I flashed that and all it working again now, thank you!
Do you have any idea why the mic is doing this then? Even on 93 it was so quiet, unlike previous days where it appeared to be normal... Can't wait for them to push a proper OTA fixing all these bugs!

Haha! I'll never understand why people want to use toolkits etc. to root, it's so easy to do it without, and you can learn what you are actually doing to your phone.
I just tried a call again, and it is still so quiet... If it's just me, then this must be a hw issue? I haven't changed anything and it's worse than before... Any ideas? I shouldn't have to manually adjust the speaker volume, even when I did it was quiet.

Which one did you flash from that page because I flashed the in call volume only zip a couple of days ago and it has helped. That's really the only thing I had issues with as far as volume

I went back to the default, flashed the whole OS again, then tried flashing Default+ the one you have. It's still almost impossible to hear people, I could just manage it in a quiet room inside.

Is it usable at all? I thought the volume was okay when I last spoke to someone on the phone, but it is definitely not usable at the current level.

If you have the phone less than 6 months you can contact your Chinese seller (but be careful with the day because if the 6 months pass they will not replace it + you will be charged with the mail).
I am not a Phone Engineer so i can't help you change your chips (and you do not know if that is the problem...), plus, do you have the equipment to do so?
If i where you i would try a local phone repair shop, ask for the charge and decide if you want to fix it or take a new phone.
ok maybe i will repair my phone in local shop.
thank a lot for reply :good:

See the thing is for that you should actually able to get your device detected in Qhs_detector_9008 mode which you can do using adb but that is a very lenghty and risky procedure.See if you can fair things up by running a couple of fastboot errands.

No sound at ALL on my OP6

Greetings, everyone. So I got an OP6 a few days ago from someone I know and it has two problems - first one is that there is no sound at all from the phone, the speakers, the headphone jack, even audio through bluetooth don't work (when trying to play audio through bluetooth the phone starts lagging like hell). Second is, the fingerprint reader doesn't work too, there is no option in the system, only on the first setup screen (after a reset) where it doesn't work anyway.
The guy said it happened after an update. I tried re-flashing it many times because it kinda looks like like a software issue, but nothing help. Diffrent roms, stock or not, doesn't matter, tried unbrick tool, no luck aswell. Disassembled the phone in the end to check for water damage or loose cables, but even that didn't help, everything seems normal inside. And it's pretty wierd to have 2 separate things not working at all.
There is no official support for Oneplus in my country, the phone is imported so getting an official repair is not an option. Anyone got any idea what I should be looking into?
Thanks.
Guy you switch off the mute button over the power, press down and voil

Well.. we had people that didn't try it...so no point in thinking and skipping questions...
have you tried to reflash the whole stock rom with using fastboot images ?
I've got that problem too before, it's becaused I flash a stereo sound mod, and updating the software. and I lost all of my sounds.

Interesting, did you not have any sound at all too? From the speakers as well as headphone jack?
But yes, I tried to flash from fastboot, even did the unbrick tool which seems like the best method to get a complete factory reset. I'm not sure if there's some part of the firmware that can still be corrupted even after flashing though the tool.

Thanks, I'll try again later just to make sure.
Sadly, didn't work again. Flashed all the partitions that can be flashed with that tool, but still got no sounds, so probably it's a hardware issue in the end, but it's hard to imagine what exactly is broken.
