So according the the LineageOS website this phone officially supports 17.1, however there doesn't seem to be a thread anywhere for it. The only ones that exist are 16.0 and an unofficial 17.0.
Is there anyone out there who has installed LineageOS 17.1? If so, please let yourself be known. Were there any problems with installation or with the OS itself? Anything you'd think would help me before installation? This is going to be my first time installing LineageOS.
Just did it using the official guide. Updated to latest android 10 beforehand (Version WW-17.1810.2011.183). So far no bugs. Seen lots of people had problems with initial installation and all kinds of words threw around - but it was as smooth as butter for me!
Bugs.
Detrimental
Crashes that seem to happen when fiddling with audio settings; bluetooth seems to be a factor aswell. Can be fixed with a power button + volume down reset. The frequency of these seem to fluctuate; can be anywhere from 0-10 times per week. These crashes don't happen when a sim card isn't in the phone/when aeroplane mode is on.
Minor
The sound settings for this phone are a bit glitchy in general.
"Notification per day" shows - (negative) counts. e.g "-3 notifications per day".

Altering call volume in settings only works when mono audio is turned on - Extremely loud with headphones, moderately quiet without. This? Call volume functions normally when on call. Fixed in one of the LOS nightly updates I guess?
Speaker volume is low in general? Don't think this is the case.
Volume levels aren't consistent? Don't think this is the case.
LineageOS camera app doesn't support 60FPS at all and there isn't a GCam that supports 60FPS while the camera is flipped. Workaround.
Very high pitched sound plays sometimes when using the audio jack to play sound. Pitch changes when I move the phone or wire of the headset. I think this only happens with my headphones that are using a 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable.
Renaming files in the "Files" app require an app restart to show. Not a bug? If it is it's too minor to care about.
Brightness slider has once shown 0% (and it wasn't at 0%) when dragging down the notifications menu (the brightness wasn't actually affected). Too minor to care about and haven't noticed it again.
Volume slider has once shown 0% (and it wasn't at 0%) when adjusting volume (the volume wasn't actually affected). Too minor to care about and haven't noticed it again.

Hi folks. I have a 16GB US GSM Moto G, and yesterday, the character of my device's external speaker changed.
Formerly, to get a good average sound level in apps, the volume needed to be near the high end, I'd say about 60-80% of max. Now, that same volume level corresponds to about 20-40% on the slider. At the same time, I started to get weird sound artefacts in one app (Tiny Death Star). I hear a light popping sound in the speaker about once per second, and every couple of seconds the sound stutters. Not terrible, but enough to be distracting. It doesn't affect all apps, but I haven't tested extensively to see if it's the only app affected.
There are a couple of variables:
1. Yesterday I installed the KitKat OTA update. I'm about 80% sure that the issue didn't start immediately after that, but I can't be positive.
2. I played with a couple of music player apps: WinAmp and PowerAmp. In the latter, I did mess around with some EQ/volume/balance settings, but I left everything where I found it. Once I noticed the new issue, I uninstalled both and rebooted the device, but the problem persists.
I also noticed the "Audio Effects" setting in the Sound settings. Tried turning that off, but it didn't change anything. I also tried wiping the cache partition; no change.
Anyone have any idea what may have caused this (and more importantly, how to fix it)? I could live with the volume range change, but not so much the stutter/pop.
Hi - wanted to share my experience with the s7, particularly the sound (media) performance.
Got the S7 (duos) last week, rooted, and pretty much happy with the snappy device (and I like the camera much).
What I've noticed so far (and not happy with these) are: bluetooth connection issues (too many related posts here and everywhere else so I won't add my rant) and the sound settings not staying put.
Here's my sound settings experience -
1. If I set up (Settings/Sounds and Vibration/Sound Quality and effects) and tweak the settings to my liking - equalizer custom, surround on, concert hall on, and adapt sound personalized, the resulting output to my bluetooth and wired speakers are acceptable (lower volume than I prefer but I can manage)
2. That sound set up will mysteriously disappear although the settings do not change (i.e. the switches and equalizer settings are as I've set them) and the only way I get them back is to toggle the settings.
Very odd. I've never experienced this before (I've had a GS2, GS4, a note 8) and a Sony Z5 (selling).
Has anyone else experienced this and what was your fix?

I did not experience the same but there is another thing that is bothering me.
Sometimes Notification and System Volume gets changed with the same volume level whenever I change the Ringtone Volume level by pressing the volume buttons. it's like all these are stuck together.
I found that this issue is due to rooting the device. Some settings gets weird after rooting.
If i don't root, the phone works fine. No issues.
And if I increase the volume, we get a popup like "Listening at a high volume for a long time may damage your hearing". Upto this point the Sound will be minimum. If i increase just a bit more from that level, suddenly the Sound increases massively.
I have an issue with bluetooth as well. Not sure if it's related but I bluetooth Pandora through my truck, and I have my media volume turned all the way up so that I can just control it through the player installed in my vehicle. If I'm listening to music when I turn off my truck but leave Pandora open on my phone, paused of course, then start up the truck again the volume level is low as if it turns itself down to the "safe hearing level" setting, but when I go to raise the volume it tells me it's all the way up. This won't go away until Pandora moves on to the next song. It's kind of annoying because I don't want to blast my speakers when the song changes but I haven't found a solution. Maybe these are related because this only happens with bluetooth for me.
I think I may have had the problems before I rooted.
Anyone not rooted having similar issues on the sound settings changing?
(please, not don't post bluetooth issues here. There are many threads about that already)
I've been using Viper4Android half a year, but one week ago I decided to push it further with DDC and everything (Making my own profiles for headphones).
So my DDC profiles and others work fine, but sometimes an extremely loud white noise starts to sound (it hurts). It happens when I press play to listen to some song, and instead of playing it, the only thing that sounds is that painful noise. It also happens when opening any app, and what is weird is that it also happens when my headset (bluetooth) is not connected, so it sounds through the phone's speaker, and it sometimes happen when i'm in classroom so it's embrassing sometimes. I would say the problem starts when I change the source of sound, for example when moving from spotify to youtube.
To stop this, the only thing I can do is turn on and off the master power button in V4A app, or restart the phone. Android's volume slider does nothing, by the way.
My driver version is 2.5.0.4, I've got neon enabled, audio format is supported and sampling rate is 48KHz. I'm using Xiaomi mi A2 with the lastest version of android, got the bootloader unlocked and rooted via magisk.
This is the first time I post something here, then sorry if there is some thread about this bug already, I've been searching for it before posting.
(Edit): Tried to download new version (2.7.1.0), and still having the same issue.
Volume has been excessively low several times even though all the way up. At first I thought it was adaptive sound, but turning off had no effect. Only restarting corrects it. 3 times I've had to restart to have my volumes increase.
Hmm...the only volume issue I'm aware of from a couple of reviews is that the maxed out volume isn't loud enuff. I haven't taken the time to look into it (with my new (free) Pixel Buds A) but I'd think google wouldfix it soon But ur issue is different...are u running any audio mods like viper's etc.?
if you are on A13 Beta, It's known issue..
I have reported same..

I'm all stock and it's an issue...
bluetooth volume low, speaker vol low, phone vol low... all LOWER than my pixel 4!
Hello,
I updated to the latest build of LineageOS for this device. Now, screen tap noises, lock noise and the battery noise that plays when you plug the device in to charge, have extremely low volumes. I mean I can't even boost them up without a special program that mods all the volumes not just those. Any way to change the ringer volume to be amplified as much as Media Volume is, and to boost up those other specified noises? I can boost the key tap noises for the keyboard as it has a special volume control for that but not the others I mentioned.
Has anyone else experienced this issue with this device?
Thanks
I also noticed on this build of LOS that the notification LED does not work to indicate charging so it doesn't turn on at all when the device is plugged in for charging. Any fixes? Maybe wait for a new build?
Thanks
I noticed that the 10/15/2022 build has
sm8250-common: overlay: Disable use of battery LED
Seems kind of weird
