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.

Hey everyone,
I've been using different roms from XDA for awhile now, first on my HTC Legend and over the last few months on my Infuse, so I'm not really new to this.
Here's my problem:
Whenever I use an AOSP rom (Miui 2.3.2b (Galnet), Miui 4.0, Miui Shock N' Awe, CM7, CM7 Nightlies etc.) I get a weird crackling/static noise when making calls (not when on speaker phone). Every time before I install one of these roms I use Odin and go back to stock, wipe everything properly, fix permissions etc.
I've tried disabling DSP, enabling DSP, uninstalling DSP, I've tried every setting possible, I've also tried Voodoo Sound etc. Nothing seems to work, in call volume doesn't make a difference and I've literally tried every single modem currently available and including the newest one UCLB3. I've spent hours googling and searching for an answer and nothing seems to work. I've tried OC'ing, under clocking, fresh installs etc.
Does anyone have any ideas? I can confirm that sound works fine on Zeus, Aeon, Revolution, stock roms etc but that's not what I want to use (personal preference) so it can't be hardware related, the only thing I can think of is the kernel. Is there an AOSP kernel that will fix this issue or even something I can try? The community v8 one wouldn't work with Miui and I don't think Entropys will either.
Please HELP! I'm desperate! I know there's a few others with the same problem.
I'm thinking hardware problem. There was a thread about this waaaaay back and one guy said he got rid of by running a decent strength magnet along the ear peice. Something about metal shavings or whatever. I never tried it tho and I still encounter the crackles every one in a long while. Just some input.
Try a pizza taco sometime, if you don't know what it is, look it up then
I don't think it can be hardware related, it ONLY happens on those roms, it doesn't happen if I hook up headphones or put it on speaker phone, it also doesn't happen if I play music etc.
IMO it has to be something that comes with those roms or the kernel it uses.
Hey all,
Just got the Infinity Pad, and I love it!
Well, almost... I'm still going to root and flash the thing...
Anyway, I just want to ask what people's experience with the dock is. I know it has its own firmware, and I also know that there are changes in how things work once I plug it in. I don't want to lose this functionality , so I wanted to check first.
Are there any issues that pop up at all when flashing the tablet, or do all of the features work? I still want the second battery meter and the multi-touch capabilities on the trackpad, for example. Also, while I'm here, one more thing: Are there custom ROMs for the dock out there?

CleanRom will work with the dock as the stock. I am not sure of the other ROMs out there but I know 100% that Cromi does work with the dock. Whatever issues that pop up in Cromi can be reported to sbdags and he will do what he can. And I am not sure about the firmware for the dock. The firmware updates for the dock come with the ota Asus updates I believe.

I second that completely. In my case, I had the dock when I was at stock JB ROM and now after switching to the CROMI v3.4.4 the keydock experience simply is the same. All the keys are working, including the special keys like settings, screen brightness, volume, browser etc. Also the touch pad comes in handy, including the swiping and pinch to zoom.
What's not clear to me is the firmware thing. As far as I know the dock firmware is part of the stock ROM, like being a particular folder somewhere in the systems area. As such, I suspect it should be part of CROMI as well. What I don't know is what triggers an update process in the case there is new firmware.
All the same, I also don't know how all the other ROMs out there are working. With CROMI it does.
EDIT: Forgot to mention: (with CROMI) you will have the second battery meter, including the Asus widget.

Tylorw and FordPrefect have answered the questions regarding the functionality already, and I have nothing to add to their descrption: it simply works on CROMI. On other ROMs there are (sometimes many) issues -- in their beginnings, the shortcuts were not working at all, and with some of them we have seen this problem creep up every time a major update was issued. Also, certain ASUS-specific functionality, like the IPS/IPS+ toggle is not (and possibly will never be) available with non-stock-based ROMs.
mini-TL;DR: if you really vallue full dock functionality, stay with CROMI.
Regarding the dockfirmware updates: we've had a CleamROM update (so Scott's original CROM, not sbdags' CROMI) that included firmware updates for the camera and the touchpad. I have no idea where ASUS hides them -- I didn't bother looking that up -- but it just shows you could still receive updates to the (dock) firmware if you're going the stock-based custom ROM route...

Thanks guys for your help, I'm glad I asked, since you listed some issues with other ROMs. I'll play around with this thing this weekend, and try out CROMI .
Once again, I appreciate the help. I'm not always sure anymore, message boards used to be the safe place for the most noob question, nowadays, it's hit and miss...
Flashed mine last week to CROMI and first thing I check were all the keys. Everything seemed good and the double widget worked for me as well. I have had to much time to play and didn't check to see if my firmware on the dock was old. I I'll check that tonight.

Short answer is no
Both CM10.1 (by now) and CRomI make advantage of the dock, and although my prefence goes to CRomI, I have seen great development in the CM10.1 section, more specifically how the rom makes use of the dock.
So no worries!
Root it and have a much faster (almost blazing) piece of aesthetic machinery!

I'm sure yo uwill not be disappointed, and with issues, we're here to help as well as we can.
As far as the noob bashing is concerned: it's not too bad in here. I'm possibly one of the most agressive members -- at least as far as cases of non-reading are concerned. Some people just can't be bothered to use the search function, or even glance over the 5 similarly named topics on the first page of a forum ("howz do I n00b root JB?"), and sometimes that really gets to me. Or people being unappreciative of the many hours of life we all put in here, especially our great devs. It's a calling of some dubous sort, but still it's a hobby, it's not a paid job.
Yours was a legitimate question, though, so as far as I am concerned you're in the clear. Hahaha!

Yeah, the biggest offender in user forums has been Adobe. Back around 2002, '03, when I was still in school, they were a great way to figure out how to use new tools, and work your way through problems. Eventually they turned into a superiority-fest, with nothing but flaming. You'd mention that you needed to handle files a certain way, or use certain file formats, and instead of help, you'd just get a bunch of replies calling you a moron for doing the proces the way you were doing it, stuff like that. It got bad enough that I quit using them altogether after 4-5 years of referring people to them whenever possible.
I've been staying away from this board only because I'm not a dev, just a user, and I figured this was a little above my pay grade, so to speak, but over the last couple of years, I've ended up here more and more, so I'm really liking the community! :good:

Most of us are not developers themselves, but just well-meaning halfnoobs. (I'm speaking for myself here, no need for anyone else to feel offended. ) XDA is OK, but a little sometimes not-so-)friendly 'policing' has to be done to keep it that way. Sometimes it only takes a little nudge -- I'd rather have us cleanse ourselves than to be dependent on a moderator for every single time something small happens. These guys -- although REALLY relaxed in our parts -- do have a lot to deal with without us giving them more to do. If it really gets too hot too handle, I mostly back out anyway, or go the PM route.
CM10.1 plays nice with dock.

CM10.1 works well with the dock, all function keys work, you will just not get the onscreen notifications that they have been pressed (and screen brightness is a bt more laggy but still works fine). if you want button press notifications for function keys you can turn them on in CM10.1 settings but they pop up in the notification drawer rather than in the darkened rectangle in the center of the screen. I think CM10.1 is worth any mild decrease in dock functionality (like no function key notifications). Not sure about the USB port on any ROMS.
So one of my Christmas Gifts this year was the desktop dock, I get it home and plug in my Tab 2 7" to find I can't get audio out thru the lineout on the dock when running one of the versions of Dhollmen ROM, for some reason the dock audio setting was greyed out, so I switched back to Romswell V1.1 ICS because I had the zip for it on the tablet and it was based off the stock ROM. On Romswell the audio out thru the dock is working perfectly, so my question is for anyone out there that has a p311x tablet and the desktop dock that has tried other ROMs, which ROM's work with audio out thru the dock? This would save me a lot of bandwidth and time flashing different ROMs to try to find a more updated ROM that still has functioning audio out thru dock. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have the same problem. After all I've red I think it's a bug deep inside AOSP/CM code (which eventually all the cooks end up using more or less...). If so, it won't get fixed any more (it's lollipop time).
Still, I'd be glad to hear there's a KitKat for our Tabie with working dock audio!

I tested a few, I think your right only stock based ROMs have working dock audio. there is the 4.2.2 Sungsonic HD V.7 ROM appears to be the newest version of android with working dock audio.
What is the best KATKiss ROM? I'm using KatKiss-6.0_TF700T_029 and the Bluetooth get wonkey when playing Youtube Videos the audio will get out of Sync or the video will start to stutter after playing one video, also sometimes even when the Tablet is right next to the Bluetooth Speaker the audio will keep cutting and out. This does not happen on my Samsung Galaxy J7. I had 7.1 installed but did not like the fact that it does not have the Flashlight option like all other versions of Android have had since Kit Kat. Why did they remove the Flashlight function when that is something most people want and use?
The best Katkiss rom is the one that works for what you need it for. BT is wonky on MM and Nougat for this tablet, cannot remember if it still worked fine on KitKat but I believe it did, so try that. Otherwise your only choice would be to flash back to a stock based rom like CROMi-X. YouTube will probably work well on it, but everything else will be pretty slow compared to Tim's roms.... Your choice...
BTW, I have never used the flashlight. Ever. Didn't even notice it was missing. It's a mistake to assume that one feature you love is something universally needed
