Audio question

Lately I've been having problems with the audio on my G1 and I'm not sure if it's the rom I'm using or if it's the phone.
Here is the problem...
When i'm on a call there is noise in the background as if the I'm standing in front of a fan and the caller goes in/out and can't hardly hear me.
Does anyone know what this could be?
I've noticed this using Super D 1.6 and WG Y2.6 CFS.
I have tried the audio hack previously but not with these roms and I've wipe several times but the problem is still there.
I don't want to have to unroot to send my phone back, if anyone know what I can do to fix this problem I would greatly appreciate it.

When using the Audio hack you must:In order
1.Flash Install old V1/V2/V3 first,Kill media then reboot
2.Now you can flash V2R2 or other one <--Best one and kill media and reboot
I think you kill media before doesnt really seem to matter for me, works fine for me.Are you using the hack or doing it the ol-fashion way?

If you kill the mediaserver then you shouldn't need to reboot.
And i don't think it's a software problem. You could test by doing a backup, switching ROMs and seeing if the problem persists. If not, then it's a problem with the audiofiles, but if it does it's most likely a hardware problem.

Q: When the GPS fix comes in Sept. will it be OTA? I am rooted and can't access Keis

I'm in Canada using Bell (i9000m)
I have rooted my phone. I've used the 1 click lag fix. I've overclocked it a bit using an app/widget.
Other than that, I haven't done anything else to my phone.
I know these are noob questions, but i just hope someone can help me.
I can't for the life of me access Keis (tried everything)
I am curious: how do I update my firmware? what about the 2.2 froyo update? will it be OTA? will I still get it? What about the GPS fix?
Basically im wondering how will I be able to get these updates and fixes if I can't access Keis -- and my phone is rooted (does that even matter?) ?
Thanks in advance guys

No one?
Just basically wondering about future updates (gps fix / froyo 2.2) --- will I still be able to receive these if I rooted my phone?
What if I can't access Kies ?

I don't think the Galaxy S has an OTA function
Which means, it's either KIES or Odin

Christ. This phone is bar none the best avail. But easily has the WORST software I've ever seen.
KIES is messed and will never work with my phone/computer. It doesn't recognize anything.
So my only option is ODIN? is there anything I should be worried about with ODIN? is it really simple to flash? or do I gotta make partitions etc.

Any chance you have launcher pro installed?

im a newbie so im just providing info i have read my self and so far that ive seen odin is very simple to follow proper instructions theres a youtube video when ur flashing something your given step by step instructions by who ever uploaded the file and if you have the 3 button combo working your good to go as you can always reflash

The phone actually does have software capable of doing OTA updates. It probably isn't set up to work yet though.
The lagfix won't affect your upgrading though, just remember to uninstall it before doing the upgrade!
Root will have zero effect too, as it is just an extra (special) application at it's core.

it needs to switch back to TwLauncher for KIES to work
you can use Home Switcher

What happens if you DONT uninstall the lag fix before the update ?
I used Ryan's 1-click lag fix --- is there a one-click to reverse it ?
is it easy to reverse the lag fix?

No you don't have to uninstal just go to settings>applications>manage applications
select launcher pro and then click on the clear defaults button. Next press the home key, it will ask you to choose a home app, choose TW.
Kies does not work untill you do that.
Other things to check is go to settings>status>usb mode select kies
Usb debuging should be OFF
Try to have the pc and phone on a fresh restart before trying to connect.
Basicly it should work.

Yes, Kies works only with TW. Also with the latest Froyo JPC firmware you get yor GPS fixed already.

Yes, you need to use the default TW. I had the exact problem as yours, uninstalled my launcher pro then Kies is able to detect the phone from there.
Allgamer made a good point. I cant find anyway to return to the default screen so i just click uninstall

Well this is the problem: I don't know how to flash (yet) so I'm just trying to learn slowly.
I am not sure if i want to flash it with Froyo FW's -- I kinda wanna wait for Bell to release their 2.2 froyo update (b/c my 3 buttons don't work and hopefully it will fix it AND the GPS)
So basically you guys have helped me with the Kies. But I am curious about the 1-click-lag-fix (I found the APP on the market and it worked) -- i don't wanna mess up my phone cuz the 3 button thing don't work.
So I just use the APP again to Un-root, use the APP again to remove/uninstall the lag-fix, then use Keis (or odin) to install/flash the new 2.2 froyo Bell update (when it comes out) ? then im good to go ?
After I update to 2.2 -- then I root again, and lag fix?

I have a Bell i9000m, rooted, unlocked and on Rogers.
After installing Samsung drivers ( PRIOR TO connecting via usb) Kies worked on first attempt (Win7 64bit). The driver pack is 18 mb and I found it somewhere here on the forms (looking for the link).
Hope that helps.

Hi, I also having GPS problem previously and I hated samsung which produce so bad gps phone but after a while I think I finally found why causes the gps issues. Ok if you go into the GPS test mode by *#1472365*# you will notice that we are using SUPL. SUPL true GPS which will in coorporate with the compass and stalite to fix our position and direction. But our phone compass some how need to be calibrated. Just key in *#0*# then click on sensor. If your compass showing need to be calibrate then just hold your phone by verticaly and rotate it untill you get 3. Now reboot it and try the GPS.

Revert Back to stock

OK guys, I own a Heroc and spend all my time over in that area of XDA and the IRC.. BUt i have quick question about a friends Samsung Captivate... He is running a custom rom and is wanting to unroot and go completely back to stock.. Can you lead me in the right direction please..
Edit*** the reason he is wanting to go back is because GPS is not working...

Here ya go...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989

i noticed alot of people on there are saying this dont work or there are major issues and complications.. you have to forgive me.. I run a hero and going back stock is a simple as running the RUU and i dont have to do a thing but watch the progress and waalaa its done..

BUMP... OK the reason for this is because GPS and camera are not working.. He is running cognition2.6 or something like that... i figure its a kernel problem but your guys could tell me more...

I've screwed up using odin several times but it was always user error. What your friend needs to do is follow the instructions exactly step-by-step and they'll be fine.

Don't know why your friend's captivate has no functional camera when he is on cognition. Make him flash the latest cog? Like the person above, GPS is as good as crap on stock as well. Do jm9 fix and see if that fixes it. If you need the jm9 file, PM and I will send you the flashable zip file.
Also if he wants to go back to stock, ODIN is pretty simple too. Open up ODIN, go to download mode (from cog I think there is a reboot to download option. If not just shut down the phone, press both vol up+down and hold them and plug in USB cable.) Once ODIN says "added!", press start, and just let it be. Your friend's phone should be back to stock in just a few minutes.
EDIT: Also tell your friend to read more. It's way better to do stuff knowing what you're doing

I don't have any issues with my vibrants GPS. I got the OTA and wallah no more sh-tty GPS. I use it everyday for work. Now I just need to do RyanZa's OCFL and I'm good.

[Q] Screen/Graphics buffer corruption

Hi there,
I'm having a bit of trouble with my HTC One. I received it yesterday, and I believe that the GPU memory is getting corrupted when loading large images. I've uploaded a video:
HTML:
videobam.com/rzFTy
(xda won't let me link unless I make ten posts)
It has happened on both stock sense and CyanogenMod 10.1.3-RC2 and today's CyanogenMod 10.2 nightly.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem, and does anyone know how to proceed with fixing this? It is just the graphics buffer - if I take a picture on the camera, it's fine. When I zoom into an image in the gallery, it's fine. When I have the camera open under low light conditions, it's fine. But give it a detailed image and it goes crazy.
What's even more interesting is that if I drag down the notification bar, the notification bar doesn't get corrupted, it's fine. Underneath, the corruption still goes on.
Please help?

I'll try it out - on the stock ROM I was on yesterday (before unlocking the bootloader), it still had the same issue. Disappeared after a pending update, but I never tested that update very thoroughly. I'll post back after I try this out.
Do you know of any reason why this could be happening? I like AOSP better than Sense, so I'd rather stick with CM or equivalent, but if it becomes unusable because of this I'll be forced to switch back to sense.

Check the developer options and make sure the show screen updates option is turned off. Food for the thoughts.

Don't worry, I've made sure that the show screen updates option is disabled. If it were on, this problem would happen all over the place, instead of intermittently when loading large images or under non-low-light conditions. There's nothing in the logcat when this glitch happens either, which makes it difficult to track down.

There isn't a RUU available for later versions.
RUU files aren't released by HTC as they're intended for service centre use.
The ones that are accessible to xda community were leaked versions.
The source of these leaks seems to have "run dry"

My camera has a really poor quality since I updated from 5.1

I've tried 6.1 and 7.0 (currently) and the camera quality is way worse than when I had 5.1
Obviously I don't want to go back to the 5.1, so what are my options?
All I care about is to don't lose the security and battery improvements that 7.0 brought to my phone.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Example -> imgur. com/a/nD4qW (without the space, I can't post links yet)

I'm on 7.0 too and have same issues with camera. It's really bad from Samsung to do that with their software

Mind telling how its bad? Examples? Usual stuff like that

As you can see the "before" pics have the average quality for a Note 5, but the other 2 are way below the quality one would expect from this phone
It happened right after I updated, that's why I think that's the reason. But maybe it was just a coincidence and my camera got broken.

Mind telling me if the quality of your pics are similar to mine?

I think its more of a hardware issue than a software. If you haven't rooted your phone yet i will recommend you to do so. Flash TWRP and wipe data, system, cache, dalvik cache, Internal Storage and then Flash a new ROM with tge corresponding Kernel for your phone model. After all those steps check if your phone's camera got fixed. Btw when wiping internal storage you should backup everything from your phone and have an OTG cable with a USB thumbdrive to flash the downloaded ROM & Kernel for your phone.

I will try all that right away.
EDIT: my note 5's bootloader is locked (At&t). Will I be able to do that?
EDIT2: aparently not

Well... Your only chance is to go to AT&T and make a claim to repair it. Or better, change it. Good luck man.

I have the same problem, first it thought it's only me.. but after I saw your uploaded photos .. I started to think it's a software issue.. I'll try a downgrade and I'll inform you with the results.

Yes please!!
I cannot downgrade my phone to Lollipop because my bootloader is locked (AT&T) so it would be nice if you could confirm that this problem is related with the android version.

Pictures are exactly like mine. We have same problem.

from the photos I see the image is blurred because the glass on the camera is scratched or has oil,moisture on it try to clean the glass of the camera well then try to recapture the photos I don't think it's a software issue

Hi again, Sorry for being late,
I was able to downgrade only to Marshmallow due to Binary issue (can't downgrade to smaller binary number),
the photos are better now but from time to time I got this Fairy tale blurred effect (and believe me the camera cover is clean).. but if I lowered the lighting (long press on the screen and slide down) the image return to normal.. !!!
so.. the downgrade helped but didn't solve the problem 100%.. and I'l stick with marshmallow for now..

Same issue with Camera quality when upgraded to 7.0 from a custom rom based on 7.0
