CM FM Radio... Only mono? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Big fan of ya'll for a long time... Just decided to sign up and ask a question:
I installed CM7 for the first time, mainly because I wanted FM Radio on my N1. I'm disappointed to find out that the sound comes out from only one channel (right side, mono only, no matter what the setting).
I researched heavily but couldn't find a similar post. Am I the only one experiencing the FM Radio sound coming out of only one earphone?
BTW, all other features are working perfectly...
My radio is 5.08
hboot is fully updated
I'm using one of the CM7 nightly after the RC1
Thanks!

I don't know whether it provides stereo or not as I don't listen to music at all when I turn on radio. But I do have sound from both sides.

Thanks for your feedback... Definitely, the issue is that I'm getting sound out of one side (right earphone) only... I tried multiple headphones, including the original N1 headset... All the same, sound comes out of one side...
Not sure what the issue is. As I mentioned, I researched a lot and no one seems to have this problem... Everything else on the phone runs perfectly.

Still, after format and full wipe, re-installed CM7 RC2, and FM Radio still comes out of one (right) earphone.

Working great here. Audio is coming out in stereo. If you click menu in the Radio app, then settings, under audio output mode there is a setting for stereo or mono.

I've tried everything... Nothing seems to work, sound still comes out of right earphone only...
I'm still baffled as everything else on the phone works perfectly... I've wiped (data, dalvik) and formatted partitions, fresh installed the ROM... Still the same issue... It must then be a hardware issue... My radio is 5.08... Does that make a difference??

Just want to be sure, did you test playing music through the normal music player? And both sides work through that?

oh yes, definitely! Sound from music player is perfect, can't ask for better... I even tried different sets of earphones, including the stock N1 earpieces... As I said, everything on the phone is working perfectly except for the FM Radio... I don't even get the wonks everyone is complaining about.

I know this is a hopeless case as I seem to be the only one with this problem...
Did another full wipe (system + dalvik), plus formatted the partitions... installed CM7 rc3, fresh and clean... Still, I can only hear the FM Radio sound coming out of the right earphone...
Oh well, I'm figuring it must be a driver/hardware issue... Since it's basically the bluetooth unit transmitting the sound, maybe my N1's BT is purely mono (or somehow stuck on mono (?))...

speakers not working

hi people
im having a problem with my kiaser
the speakers ain working first i thought ive busted it up somehow like you know normal damage etc
but today the speakers came on for like a few seconds etc
so i thought it might have been software wise is there a way i can found out if it is hardware or software?
thanks
Just a few questions:
a) Are you talking about phone sound? (i.e. when you are in a call), or all sound (like when you are playing music)
b) Is it just sound from the main speaker, or do earphones/BT headsets work?
c) Do ringtones work?
Sound is mostly the domain of the radio, so have you flashed a new radio lately? Maybe it is incompatible with your ROM?
the service manual suggests to clean the speaker contacts...

As Dr. puts it out there is a good chance that radio is triggering this. Radio, rom and country. Just a help halp wount save you here
Just a few questions:
a) Are you talking about phone sound? (i.e. when you are in a call), or all sound (like when you are playing music)
no im refering to sounds as in like...umm sliding sounds if im in a call and i want to put it to loudspeaker music on loudspeaker so overall that ain working
b) Is it just sound from the main speaker, or do earphones/BT headsets work?
its just the main speaker
c) Do ringtones work?
no no ringtones work
Sound is mostly the domain of the radio, so have you flashed a new radio lately? Maybe it is incompatible with your ROM?
im running on L26_KaiserTouch_Manilla [[[ 3D ]]] V4 Testversion!
and im running on one of the radios that are recommened im in the UK if that helps?
As dr. asked what part of the sounds doesnt work? None at all? If so, this is what I would have done;
1st I would try another radio (just to check if we can solve it easy)
2nd I would hard reset (probobly wount help but saves time if so).
3rd I defently would reflash to stock ROM whit stock radio.
This wil give us good answers if not pointers whats triggering this. Since the speaker came on today I suspect its not a hard problem but soft, and thats a good thing mate

Car Bluetooth

Hey guys,
I've got a Kenwood KDC-BT945U car stereo and I'm curious what other people's experiences are using the bluetooth for music. For all of you using a bluetooth receiver in the car, when you play music, does the deck display the Song/Artist/Album/etc.? Mine plays fine. I can pause/play, skip forward/back, etc. The only problem is when it comes to actually displaying the information on the car stereo.
Any similar experiences?
Ps. Besides this problem, the deck is a great complement to the phone. If I can get this problem solved, I can stop using the USB altogether.
I was going to post a similar thread about my issues with the KDC-BT945U. Thanks for staring it. Are you running a custom ROM?
Music for me shows no tag info. My main issue is that foryo is a nightmare when it comes to this deck. Both the deck and the nexus has major pairing issues using froyo. I have not tried 2.1 stock or Cyan's 5.0.7, I assume they work fine. I am no expert, but I think it's the new Radio in froyo causing the problem.
Surprisingly, Paul's desire ROM and this deck work very well for me.
Checking the website, there is a Bluetooth compatibility section. They do not list the nexus. I'm hoping for a firmware update for the deck.
I do have a 30gb iPod in the glove box hooked up via the rear USB and it does display track info on the deck.
Yeah. In my infinite wisdom, I bought a ZuneHD rather than an iPod touch. . . The only Kenwood stereo I could find that was compatible with the Zune was like twice the price. Not exactly doable when I'm 28 days away from being a daddy. lol That said, I'm just using a jump drive for the USB. That's been working flawlessly, tags included. If I can figure out how to get the phone to transmit tag info, then I can drop the need to carry an mp3 player (or have a jump drive hooked up) altogether. I love listening to music from the phone while using the navigation, for the sheer fact that it cuts the music off to make announcements. . .just need to get it working right.
Edit. Btw, I an running eViL's latest FroYo. Noir Tri.

Can you tell me what firmware your deck is running? Mines 3.11
Also can you tell me what Radio you are running? Mines 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
Thank you

Same as you. Latest FroYo radio and 3.11 on the deck. Have since wiped and flashed Evil's latest Noir IV (FRF83 based) and still the same results. I have a 16 gig jump drive in there, so I have plenty of music. . . it just kind of sucks for the navigation piece. Phone calls are fine, because they'll interrupt any of the inputs. . . nav doesn't have that luxury. :-\
Thank you for the reply,
I have switch over to Kang-o-rama 0.9 Final (Froyo FRF83). My BT registering is a bit better, but nothing like Paul's R22 desire ROM was. With Paul's ROM, I was able to just keep my phone in my pocket at all times and when I started my car, as long as BT was turned on, my phone and deck synced every time. Now i'm lucky if it syncs at all. I have to constantly re-pair with the phone, and even that is very flaky.
Also, During audio, only 'BT audio' is displayed, no tags.

Did the desire rom display tag info? I have to repair all the time too. . .might be worth switching just for that.

Unfortunately, the desire ROM does not display tag info.
Unfortunately I'm pretty sure that sending the tag info for songs over Bluetooth isn't currently possible. It's a limitation in Bluetooth though, not your head unit.
I have a stock Nexus One and a Kenwood KDC-X994 and after trying unsuccessfully to figure out how to get my song info to show on the head unit I contacted Kenwood about it. They informed me it wasn't currently possible to do this via Bluetooth and that it was Bluetooth that had the limitation, not my head unit.
On a side note, ever since upgrading to Froyo (stock) my phone will only stream music via BT to my head unit with the stock music app, and this is very aggravating. Seems to be an issue with Froyo from seeing other user posts about this topic. I sincerely hope Google fixes this ASAP!

not true, my blackberry storm 2 sends all the song info to my kenwood kdc-bt945u. so the problem is in the phone software not the hu or bluetooth
where are we at on this? im curious as i should have an eris by friday and want to know how compatible it will be with my head unit
Huh. Interesting. I guess Kenwood was wrong, then.

kenwood kind of pisses me off, i dealt with them a lot after i purchased the hd radio unit for the 945u. i was trying to find out why you cannot access the equalizer or any audio settings in hd radio mode (extremely annoying) he said you just cant. i wanted a more detailed explaination and he just made some bs up to get me off the phone. but yeah, just so you guys know, if you get the hd radio for you head unit you wont be able to adjust the terb/bass or anything on the hd radio src. all you get it the direct signal.
but does anyone know if this song info problem has been fixed? in an update or anything?

ok so apparently for me even the htc headset that came with my phone doesnt seem to want to work :S...
is this true for everyone or is my htc IS just messed up?
I used it in miui, arhd and virtuous.... is it possible that there is a hardware issue in the phone :S? any way to check?.... the mic symbol does show up on the phone though just no voice goes through?
this is a bell/virgin IS with S-off, and eng boot...
any reply back will be really helpful cuz im about to chuck my phone against the wall
... the handsfree build.prop change (from development section) works somewhat that i can hear myself talking on mic.... but no voice is going through to the other end :S....

You are not alone - have same problem and have tried multiple rom images.
thats sad.... kills the device for me nicely that a simple thing like that has a bug
Handsfree was working well with htc stock rom. It wont work on cyanogen and miui roms.
doesnt seem to want to work for me with any custom rom :S... oh well
I too have the same problem. It's a bit disappointing but overall phone is great with custom roms.
mmmm do u people (whomever) has the issue... mind telling exactly what phones u have and what carriers and stuff.... this has to be a software issue somewhere cuz it was working on stock roms...
My headset ( htc ) worked without a problem on the ORIGINAL stock rom aka. 2.2 ( or was it 2.1 ) when i updated to the OFFICIAL 2.3 rom via the built-in upgrade now feature in the phone it stopped working, so in my experience it seems to be a 2.3 problem or smthing
so it seems as if a drivers problem in gingerbread for us :S... everyones from a different country...
unless somehow the manufacturing is not as solid as i thought...
- so i seem to have gotten my htc headset working with virtuous 1.29.... I had to flash another kernel (unity v3 in my case) ... and the headset started working, has a little echoish sound ... but better than nothing
I have the same issue here : IS with Orange France
So problem started with stock rom. HTC headphone ok, iphone headphones ok, then i bought sennheiser CX880i and then i mic was not properly detected and never able to get a sound out of it.
Had the same issue with custom rom later on : Virtuous unity. So i buy another brand of headphones with mic today : Klipsch S4i ... same issue with custom rom virtous unity 1.31.
will try other kernel to see if its the same...
it is worse with this kernel as now my iphone mic is no longer recognised...

[Q] Headset problems

If i plug-in an other headset than the original X1 headset it echoes and I don't hear anything on my right side. Has someone got a solution? Or do i have to buy another one? reaction A.S.A.P. please
Is there not any software that can change bass etc. for X1?
lemme think...
easiest way is flashing a custom-rom with htc sense 2.5, it comes with an app called "audio booster" which gives you an equalizer w/ presets. most of these roms also have modded audio drivers cooked in for better sound (at least of ultrashot's dynamics i know for sure).
then there were quite some apps for win mobile, but they're are all very old by now. if you don't want to flash a sense-rom, you could search for "srs wow hd". another audio-driver, but iirc there were always problems with it...

I've had WOW HD buy now and did not work. I already have a 826x ROM. Audio booster also tried and it didn't do much. I just want to be clear about the problem, its about that i o not have the original headset of the X1 wich you get in the pack if you buy the phone, i have a completely different headset. On the right side of the headset i don't hear anything and in the other only a echo with kggg sounds.
You can use any headset you want. Rather sounds like yours is crap/broken. ^^ or hw-failure on x1. Have you tried others?
Not something you fix with installation of software.

when i had the original one it didn't screw the music up, only with other headsets.

Can it we a hardware problem? If so thn the original wouldn't work either, right?
Don't be afraid to give answers people, thanks.
yeah well, if stock is working, then it's not on the phone.
how's your headset, does it work on another device? have you really tried different headsets or just the one?
stock-headset isn't specially recognized as "original SE".

I am not using an SE headset, but the headset works on other devices pretty wel.
But I think to see another problem, when playing a song, the audio is the same as on the headset. Maybe there is a problem in the audio files? (although it sounds a little weird)

CyanVivo 10.2 4.3 ROM- Bluetooth audio playback bug

Since I can't post directly to the ROM thread, thought I'd post here.
Installed the ROM and the ringtone audio fix. All is working swimmingly on the device.
Re-paired the phone to my JVC head unit in my car. When playing back audio via Bluetooth, any audio streams are playing back at what seems to be 1/2 the frequency, therefore the pitch is shifted upwards- basically a chipmunk effect. This is happening with ANY audio stream to the head unit- music, TTS output, google maps voice prompts, video playback.
I deleted and re-paired devices. Wiped Dalvik cache and the cache mount. Still the same problem.
Any ideas? Is this a generic cyanogenmod bug that crops up? No problems like this with CyanVivo 10.1 4.2.2.
Thanks!

It's caused by audio fix. You can replace audio.a2dp.default.so with the one from Stable #4 and you'll have correct audio playback back =)

Hello World
Hi, guys.
Saw this post about bluetooth in CyanVivo10.2.
I was using 10.1 with BT headset and everything was almost fine.
Then i decided to move to 10.2 stable 4 and when i tried to check BT headset i have found some extreme cracking noise when listening some audio. So i check my BT headset with other phones but all was fine with it. Trick with switching files doesn't work at all (even with 1.5x speed cracking noise is still present).
In order to find a solution i checked other versions of szezso's 10.2 (stable 4,5) and noticed that this "cracking noise" is not so noticeable in Troj80's version (stable 3) of this rom. The solution of this problem was found in CyanVivo X where this noise was absent. As i understand the trouble lies in A2DP and Bluetooth files.
Update:Checked VivoKat 4.4 for this noise in BT headset and I haven't found it there.
Maybe someone who are more skillful has some ideas of this trouble?
Question to Szezso:
Is it possible to insert files from CVX to CV10.2 and will it work ?
