Hi you all,
So I have a Samsung Galaxy S6, a time ago the European Union rolled out a protocol that all mobile devices and mp3 players will be restricted to a maximum of 80 dB..
Does anyone know how to bypass this, we got it through a software update, ever since then my sound quality is so bad and low.. i would love a Fix for it to have the volume much higher, atleast higher then 80 dB
even when using headphones with 17 oHm, 112 dB and 17 to 20 Khz it still is to low.. cause it is restricted to 80 dB ( sounds much lower tbh)
In the phone settings there is no three dot settings for the volume output since they removed it..
I hope someone can help me!
Kind Regards,
EchoD

I've bought the non HTC O2 Xda Atom PPC Phone days ago. This device has quite alot of annoying problems. I believe all these issues have to be rectified before we can comfortably use this device.
I. VERY FEW Main Storage Memory
As we know WM5 includes PS (Persistent Storage). All the RAM are now used as Program Memory. But the Main Storage Memory (Flash ROM) is only 22.1MB. This is petite and would not be sufficient for installations of programs that has to be installed on the main memory to work. The Storage memory is 43.9Mb, I wonder if there is anyway to MERGE the 43.9Mb and 22.1Mb which would make things alot easier.
II. EXTREMELY Slow!
The device's response is very slow. It takes seconds to load things or half a sec to response to tap sometimes. It is just SLOW. I thought it has something to do with WM5 but after upgrading my BlueAngel to WM5, it is SIGNIFICANTLY faster. I've already tried the Registry cache mod to speed it up a little but it is still slow. Even lags up when I type a sms.
III. CHOPPY Mp3 ringtone
It is just so choppy that it is unbearable. How to fix?
IV. Phone Answering Delays
V. Camera is EXTREMELY Slow! Quality of pictures acceptable as a 2MP device.
VI. In Car charger DOES NOT charge phone unless the phone is switched off. Why??
The cons are so critical that it outweighs all the pros of this device
I would rate it 5/10 personally. I am going back to my BA WM5 unless there are fixes. :!:
I have ALL those problems too. It sucks. The memory issue is really bad. I think the choppy ring is from the file being shuffled out of the rom to play. Sometimes I get an error message saying I have no memory when I try to take a pic (when I have used no memory ). If there was a way to get wm2003se onto it I would be willing to do it, but I doubt it is possible.
I HAD the same annoying problems. I wrote to O2. The reply I got is quite formal and useless. It seems most of people wrote to O2, they got the same template-style reply.
I understand how new thigns can have problems but I doubt if there will ever be fixes to the problems listed. We are just not supposed to go back to the default ringer tone because the Mp3 ringtone is so choppy. The Mp3 ringtone Works perfectly on my WM5 Blueangel.
The 22.11MB(16.13 Actual) storage memory just WON'T work. Even if I install everything on the storage cards, there would still be files needed to be written on \windows\ directory, the size of the main storage is just way too small.
The overall speed is slow and unbearable.
I think I am going to sell the device in a few days... Spent too much time trying to fix a $900 phone. Has anyone tried the bundled headset? The pieces are SO BIG that I doubt anyone with the largest earholes can put them on... Just Bad O2...
yesterday I went to Broadway and I saw that there is guy buying this O2 crappy machines.....and I think he will have the same feeling with yours....
But I cannot do anything at that moment.... :roll:
The quality is Below standard expectations. I would not recommend this device to anyone. Do you know where I can sell it off in Hong Kong at a good price?
i think sell it in yahoo.com.hk is the best place.... :lol:
I was going to buy the exec as well later in the year. I do not know any more. Has anyone bought it to comment?
I only have wm5 from the atom, I would like to know just how much of the problem is wm5 and how much is the hardware. O2 have really tarnished the brand name xda. I was dumb enough to buy just based on previous experience with other xda's.
Try some twaeking.. it helps
I have the Atom and I have been tweaking it a little.. the speed performance has improved.. now maybe up to about 85% - 90% of my O2 Mini.. so, it may not be as bad, if you tried some of these tweaks..

Those peeps who said problems with MP3 ringtones, i had the same problem with MP3 but if i convert that MP3 to WMA it plays perfectly as a ringtone, i believe that this is because WAV,MID & WMA play natively but the MP3 ringtone goes through a WM10 player.
Hehe..
what goes around comes around..

More Atom Problems
[NB: duplicate post from other Atom thread - suggest an Atom specific area?]
Apart from the poor response time, I also find the standard alarm function does not work properly. A quick test with the alarm set for 10 minutes ahead works well, but 6am the next morning does not sound at all, until you later go into the alarm section to find out why, and then it goes off. Any ideas anyone?
Also, my Atom turns itself on accasionally for no reason. No incoming call or SMS, no alarm set, no USB or bluetooth connection, etc. It just turns on and sits there. Any ideas anyone?
Also - another poster advised removing items from start-up. How do you do this? Does it require a registry edit?
thanks,
depressed_atom_user
my friend from O2 Said, that the old version is very slow
and the there is the newer version from o2, but is not official lunch yet
is have batter memory architecture :roll:
Yeah.. I get the exact same alarm problem..
Ended up late to work 'cause of this.
I just sent in my Atom to the service centre (SG).. hope to receive it by tomorrow evening. Really eager to check out the improvements.
Hello, hope someone can help me out; I have a new ipaq voice messenger, all working fine, except the quality when making a call; when I am using the phone the sound is horrible and it is hard to hear to other person on the line. Does one of you have any idea's what to do to improve?
try changing band control settings to gms:
go to Settings , Phone , Band Control, GSM.
If you use only gsm band the voice quality will increase significantly and you will save battery power as well. Turn un UMTS only when really need it, for example for fast internet connection.
Let me know if it resolves your problem
Hi, thanks! I tried with setting it to GSM only; but do not have the feeling that it improved the sounds quality a lot; I will keep it like this to see if it has improved and to see if the battery life improves. Thanks a lot. If you have any other ideas; please let me know.
have you tried this patch from HP ?
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...wEnvOID=4036&swLang=9&taskId=135&mode=4&idx=0
Hi, yes I have installed all the patches from the HP website. Using it with a headset or with my carkit it is ok, but with the phone itself I have to reduce the volume to very soft in order to get a 'normal' quality, but with this, it is hard to hear to other person. Thanks for you suggestion; I read also on the HP forum that there are more people with the same problem. Hope there is a solution!
Is there anyone that managed to use MediaCodec.PARAMETER_KEY_VIDEO_BITRATE without any issues by any chances?
If I set, on the fly, a new bitrate - let say 3 mbps (~3000000 bps) - the bitrate will indeed change, but to a very low bitrate like 500 kbps (and no, I did not make a mistake in unit conversion). And then, if I change it another time in the same session to - let say 2.5mbps - then the encoder honor my request that second time.
I wonder if that is a Qualcomm Snapdragon issue because I have the same issue with a Zenfone 2. However, the same code perform without any issues on a Galaxy S6 (Exynos 7420).
Anyway, any feedback would be appreciated.
cheers
So I've recently updated to the current oreo Beta on my MHA-L29 and I'm facing issues with the Bluetooth audio codec selection. Regardless of what device I connect, Android always switches to the lowest possible settings aka 44. 1kHz streaming and 16bit sample after stopping/starting audio (its enough for a song to end and a new one to start to reset those) now visually the settings don't actually change at all as long as a Bluetooth device is connected, so even if I change to 96kHz the option displays 44.1kHz, however the change in sound quality is definitely noticeable since 44.1kHz has atrocious artifacts on any higher note.
Now my question would be if this is beta related, a general oreo bug or If anyone actually has an idea on how to fix this issue.
Build number: 8.0.0.361(C432)
Bumping this since I still haven't found a fix and maybe someone else has the same issue.
Having the same issue on a Mate 10 Pro, seems to be an Android 8 related problem.
Same issue here.. but bluetooth does work well
Having the same issue, do you think they will fix it?
Updated to .363 today and unfortunately the issue still persists, i am actually starting to get worried now that it will take quite a while for this to be fixxed, if it is adressed at all.
I'm having this issue as well and this is absolutely atrocious.
Ever since I upgraded to android 8 my bluetooth audio sounds like crap. There is very noticable overall hissing and lots of cracking (most noticeably on drums in music).
I also tried digging in the developer options but nothing will stick, this is the first and last time I ever bought a Huawei product.

Im pretty sure Huawei is not to blame for this, since i've seen reports from other phones aswell having the same problem, i believe its an Oreo problem in general that adds ontop of the other bluetooth connectivity issues.
Ran into the same issue myself. Unacceptable audio quality reduction since Oreo update a few days ago. Rolling back to Nougat for now. Based on what I could find, seems to be just as much Google's fault. I really don't like what they did with the notifications either. The app running in the back round is just plain annoying since you can't turn it off.

Is your Bluetooth turned off while you changing the setting. I think bluetooth need to be turned off if you want setting to stick. I tried my phone and it is keeping the setting

I couldnt care less about who's to blame, its unacceptable Huawei pushed this update through with such a major bug in it. If they couldnt fix developer settings not sticking, the least they could've done is make people aware of this issue when they offered the update. I use my phone for music A LOT and if I had known this in advance I would have never updated in the first place. Now im stuck with this crappy audio quality on a phone I paid 655 euros for.
Welp, that's what you get for not waiting around for bug reports I guess....
Does anyone here know if there is a safe way to downgrade back to Nougat without voiding your warranty? I know how to root etc. but I dont feel like totally breaking open my phone again, I got out of that world a while back because I wanted to avoid this crucial stuff not working the way it should stuff. If there is no other way Ill void my warranty but I'm seeing lots of different guides on here and none of them seem that professionally made so I'm kinda on the fence

Fair enough point. You can downgrade safely via the Huawei pc application, just choose update and it should give you the option to downgrade. It will however most likely factory reset your phone so I'd advise you create a backup first.

I downloaded the HiSuite app and there is no downgrade option anywhere.
Edit: Windows 10 antivirus says the downloaded .exe from the official Huawei website is a virus, anyone else have this?
Hello. I've been playing around with the Bluetooth settings and I've found out that while playing Spotify through BT, if I change the kHz to 48 or higher the sound is actually getting better! Although the setting isn't sticking or showing, I'm getting way better sound choosing 48 kHz or better after I press play. Maybe just my phone, but try it out if you're experiencing bad quality BT sound!
Thanks. Will try the 48k sound mode out
I was having this problem with my P20 Pro and Sony WH1000XM2s. Turns out you can get the aptx HD codec and 24bits setting to stick if you select 'Priority on Sound Quality' within Sony's Headphones app. Sample rate is still stuck on 44.1khz however.
Edit: Just turned off bluetooth and set sample rate to 96khz, turned bt back on and it's sticking!
Hi guys, I read the other threads before open this one but i couldn´t find a proper solution to this.
since the last update from december the volume of my voice is very low when I talk by phone and I have to change the values in the files ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype from fluency to none and <device name ="SND_DEVICE _IN _HANDSET _MIC" acdb_id from 40 to 4 to make it work again as I read in many places but, does anyone knows why this happens or how to fix it for good and not to do this with every new update?
I´m running lineage 14. 1 because when I installed 15 I didn't get any notification and I couldn't fix it either.
Thanks.
There is a Magisk https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.topjohnwu.magisk module called "android mic fix" it worked for me. Give it a try? I'd also suggest Viper4android if you listen to music on your phone. It actually can make it sound really nice.
Change SND_DEVICE _IN _HANDSET _MIC" acdb_id to 42 not 4. It worked for me.
