Help! Flashed Nightly 85, Now Video Volume is Extremely Low - Nook Color General

I recently flashed the cm7 nightly 85 for nook with the .32 OC and everything is running great, except for one thing. When I try to play videos, the volume is extremely low, but all my music and other files work fine. I was running nightly 70 before and the video volume was perfect... Can anyone help me out? I haven't found this on the forums.
Can anyone even suggest anything lol?

I just flashed to 85 as well. I did the cache wipe prior to the flash and my videos run at the same volume before. Did you wipe the cache? (Not sure if that has anything to do with it...but since mine is working and yours isn't...who knows)

yeah I flashed both the cache and the dalvik cache before the flash... I don't understand, music is loud but my videos aren't. I've been spending hours trying to find a fix to no avail

If it helps, I wasn't having problems with any videos I was "soft-decoding" with Mobo, but now videos I encoded specifically for the NC that never had a problem before are choking, screwing up the display and making the device reboot.
I'm a sad panda now.

Okay, I noticed nightly 86 was released since I flashed 85 a few hours ago! This one seems to fix the video problems I mentioned above. Try upgrading to 86. The volume seems even louder too.

Ok, so I flashed nightly 86, still no luck though, video volume for me is incredibly low. I Wiped the cache and dalvik cache, flashed 86 and gapps, then flashed the newest overclock kernel. I think i heard somewhere though that the overclock is included in 86, is that true? I mean, I don't think it would make a difference anyway as it is still the same kernel...
[EDIT]
I tried flashing without the overclock and the volume is still low unfortunately, so its not the kernel

Have you tried a different video player or wiping data for the app and seeing if that made a difference?

Thanks for the suggestions but nah, I tried playing on other players b4 but it didn't make a difference. I just tried clearing the data but that didn't help either. This thing is a real pain lol

Good News
I found a fix for the problem. Darlingrin just created a new app to specifically deal with nook color audio issues, such as low volume and headphone hiss: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dalingrin.nookcolortweaks
Only thing I would suggest though after installing the app is to go in and check how much the DAC gain is set to, mine was set to full, and even though the media volume was on the lowest setting it also blasted my ears out haha. Not good. Anyway that's the fix.

Nevermind, can't read. But get Dal's app.

Phone freezes while playing music

Hi, im new to rooting but i have a question about music players and my rooted hero. I'm running aospCMod latest version with everything updated. My phone has only been rooted for a week but it just started happening yesterday.
The music player im using is called SongBird Beta, its a new player that might not run friendly with rooted devices but it was working till yesterday, and i've had to force close the app or pull my battery because my phone wouldn't respond. i WOULD post this in the aosp thread but i dont have enough posts lol..
is it just the app or is it my rooted phone?
I'm also running aospCMod and alot of times the devs will tell you to raise the minimum cpu setting from 176 to 264 or 352 and try it. It usually fixes the problem. Check under settings -> cm settings -> performance.

I am also having those troubles. (older version, newer version)Pandora, Music Player and Double twist. Through Bluetooth, head phones and speaker. Skip, Freeze you name it. I have tried raising/lowering the settings and that has netted me the same result. Performance, Interactive, Ondemand, Userspace.... Tried it. Jit on and off... tried it. Flash, reflash, format, reflash... tried it. I am going to go through my notes today and try to flash a sense rom and do the media card scan fix to see if that works. IDK... Could be just the end of the Hero's life for me.

Try reflashing your recovery if you have not already. Try a new/different sd/card. Also you can try a nand of a rom were you weren't having the problems and TB the app+data then restoring it to your current rom. Also you can try a fastboot erase system if your s-off to have a definite clean start. "Warning" fastboot will erase everything. That's if you haven't tried it already. Well good luck
Yea it's Me Again With The
Modified Hero
Thanks Laie!
I did flash AOSP's latest recovery then back to Jason's then to the original 3.0.0.5 and back to AOSP's latest. Funny thing for me is that Pandora will play for about 5-10 songs then is will chop and freeze the phone. After a battery pull the Pandora is choppy but wont freeze the phone up until later. So I cleared cache, tried uninstalling and reinstalling and Nand. Same deal. I am going to test my songs on the SD card next just to be sure.
Then, new card. Phew.... This is fun... I am having fun... I think.
So question with regard to the streaming of Pandora. Is there a timeout setting for the phone to go wonky on Data? I am now wondering if the 3G or Data is dropping the ball. The screen sleeps fine and music continues. Then after about 10min (on average) it skips and locks the phone. I have sync and bluetooth disabled for now. Hooked up to the head phones.
692/276 no jit no frills. Hell I didn't even configure my mail yet.
Hmmm..
Figured I would isolate one issue at a time. Sorry for the hyjack of the thread OP. Maybe this will help you too.
Make sure you don't have a task killer running that's killing it off. I personally don't use them. They kill apps I'm running and eat up more battery imo. Just food for thought that one could be set too aggressive.

Good suggestion but not using any either.
There is a setting in pandora to keep it happy, can't remember what it's called, but it's there. I also can tell you if you tried ondemand again, it would work. Also raising the min to 352 no matter the governor. Both of those methods have worked time and time again, try it. Edit: also, the new "purge assets", or vm heap, or compcache setting could affect it, but I doubt that's the issue.
I used fastboot reset device and let it reboot. Turned on Pandora and it's been playing strong for 45Mins. Here is run down.
Re partitioned 4 times using 1GB, 2GB, 4GB then back to 1GB. 256Ext size always. Re flashed fresh. Interactive 691/264 no jit. Crashed once. Rebooted, reset using fastboot, reboot and it has been playing through headphones for 50 Min now. Bluetooth is the next test. Thanks Duce and Laie.
I will add this is the first time in about 3 weeks I have been live for longer than 30 Mins. I tried CM7's and AOSP's. Much prefer AOSP's, less bloat and Zeam are a must for me.
EDIT: 1 Hour Headphones, VanHalen Channel
My plays stable with 19-691ondemand

[Q] Rom that plays video past 70min?

Hi all,
Has anyone seen a gb rom that plays or can be tweaked to play video past the 70min mark? This is a rather big thing for me, as I often take trips and like to watch movies on the plane.
I've been able to get CM6.1 and most 2.2 roms going with collin_ph's battery tweak that enables the stagefright audio. However, this doesn't seem to work with any gb rom I've tried:
CM7
aospCMod
OMGB
Deck
Evervolve
And I really like these gb roms...esp aospCMod!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
are you talking about your battery just dieing or it literally wont go past 70 minutes ive never had that issue when i was on the hero.
Are you talking about your screen freezing? Most gb roms (CM7 specifically) always had minor media issues for me. Music, videos, Pandora app etc. all freeze or skip after a while. Try using that new Wildheroc sense rom, I've had much better media performance from it versus CM7
Sent from my wildheroc using XDA Premium App
to fix the freezing just set your cpu to anything over 352 low.
This is the issue with videos over 70 mins where the video freezes and the sound keeps playing. After a while the video jumps back to about the 10-15 minute mark, but the sound is still off from where the video is.
It was discussed briefly in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864403 for a while starting at #14691, but I never saw a resolution.
This was fixed in 2.2 with the enable stagefright fix in collin_ph's battery tweak, and you could evidently do it manually by altering the stagefright line in build.prop, but when I looked at the build.prop on a couple of GB roms there was no line, and inserting a line brought no joy.
I was just wondering if anyone knew of anything, I've been searching for days and days and actually see very little on this issue. Guess not everyone watches full-length movies like me.

I actually had mine set at 352 ondemand, to help with the camera issues, but it never helped long video playback. Thanks though!

Yeah, I tried Wildheroc out for a while, but I just love the simplicity of Aosp and my LPP. I may try going back to sense though cause this is just that important to me. If I do, I may throw down on the v6 supercharger tweaks and see how that does.

[Q] O2x performance degradation.

Got a sim free o2x and immediately upgraded it to gingerbread using LG's tool.
I have noticed that the performance degrades over time especially noticable with scrolling web pages and youtube.
From a clean boot, i fire up youtube and can watch big bug bunny in 1080p full screen and very smooth. When I come back to it a few days lastr, the same video stutters and the audio also skips. I can create this effect a lot quicker by playing something with the built in video player. After having played a video on SD card, i go back to youtube and its a stutter show again.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this using standard gingerbread on the O2x? I'v tried killing various apps and uninstalling others but nothing very scientific and the only way I can get back to normal performance if with a reboot. Any help gratefully appreciated!
Sounds to me like the ram is busy. Just try an app that cleans up the ram.
Stock kernel has bug in memory management. Solution is to flash for example Spica's kernel, latest r11-c is very very good.
Evidently that supposes to root - instal clockwork mod recovery first.

I have a problem with Spica's kernel , I think that it doesnt support netfilter (iptables) thus I cant use Droidwall, any solution?
Thanks
Instal iptables from market?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mgranja.iptables
Edit: the app says that iptables is already installed in kernel, not in the latest version but present. That's perhaps the problem. Only thing is to ask Spica to update to last version.
Ohhhh, i will check it later! thanks!!!
Have tried some RAM clean up apps, unfortunately it makes no difference. The amount of RAM free seemed to make no difference, i had it running smoothly with 82mb free and stuttering with over 100mb ram. If something like this was happening on my linux box I would assume something is hogging the cpu but the apps i have tried seem to indicate nothing is consuming a lot of cpu resources.
I don't want to consider reflashing with another ROM if I can avoid it. Is there anything else I could try?
Kernel problem. Read above.

Reboot your dam phone then.... pcs also get laggy when they have been on for a long time, so reboot and or flash a decent kernel.
Use stock kernel\rom from 20o
I have the same problem. After about 36 hours, the phone becomes laggy. It lags when waking up the screen, it lags in menus, etc so i have to reboot it every 36 hours or so.
Speaking of kernels and roms, i've tried them all by now. From CM7 (which i could not get along with, functionality wise) to Topogigi, spica, Thanatos, carburano, gueste and erestor.
I am now on gueste 2.1 stable SR1 and the problem persists.
After about 16 hours wake-up and the lockscreen lags, after about 24 hours scrolling becomes choppy, after 36 hours dialer, contacts and other apps start slowly and lag big time.
This is the same behaviour in all roms and kernels tried (except CM7 which is a no go for me).
L.E.:
Of course, rebooting solves the problem for the next 20 hours or so, but its quite inconvenient.

[Q] No Sound in CM9 or CM10

Hi community! Thanks to all the developers who make this project fly!!!
I fear I have a resistant Touchpad that does not want to output any audio in Android CM9 or CM10.
It has sound in WebOs so I don't think it is a hardware problem.
I've tried CM9 (123012) and heard some soundtap noise after a reflashed gapps, but then the sound went away, I think
when the wifi started (?).
CM9 was extremely slow and the system would be very laggy and freeze when I tried to change the volume by using
the volume buttons. Many times I'd have to do a power+home button shutdown.
CM10 (121612) on the other hand was very responsive, quick and smooth and there was no lag or freeze on pressing the
volume button- but still no audio.
I used ACMEuninstaller to remove CM9 and used:
ACMEInstaller3, CWM6, moot 0.35 for both installs, flashed cache and dalvik, and fixed permissions.
Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks!
Briefly hold the power button to bring up the menu and make sure it isn't set to mute should be the bottom Line with a line under the speaker on the right .
I brought up the screen, and it shows the speaker icon on the right side with the line under it.
It looks like volume is on and not mute, but still no sound.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Thinking it was something to do with WebOS 3.05, I used the thread in this forum to bring back the Touchpad to WebOS 3.00, and
then 3.04 and still the same issue appears in Android.
I'm now thinking that this 32GB Touchpad may not have the same hardware for the audio codecs to work in android?
(Actually, I'm clueless and just guessing, and, hope I'm wrong.) :fingers-crossed:
Well it was worth a try, it shouldn't be anything to do with webos (I'm on 3.05) . Do the headphones work as it has been suggested that the socket my be causing problems .
Otherwise I'm also clueless .
Good to know that it isn't WebOS 3.05 related.
I tried the headphones and no sound either. So I rebooted with the headphones plugged in and no sound.
One other thing I can't figure out is why would CM10 be more stable than CM9 on this device, when the consensus seems to be
that CM9 is much more stable?
No idea , I'm using Oat's at the moment but also have a backup of jcsullins so that I can test out things on both and have stopped using CM9 completely .
I take that you get no sounds when typing and that the volume cursor moves when you use the rocker switch .
Right. No sound when typing except the vibration feedback, and the volume cursor moves with the volume rocker.
This is jcsullins experimental build (121612), and other than the sound issue, it's sweet!
*edit*
I downloaded an app called AndroidSystem and here is part of the log when I try to play an mp3:
W/AudioTrack(349)
obtainBuffer timed out (is the CPU pegged?) 0x34bbe0 name=0x8user=000012c0, server=00000000

The other thing I notice is under Build Info it states CPU ABI=armeabi-v7a,
but in WebOs I recall the CPU as ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l).

Try going to settings > sound > volumes, and see if the settings are correct.
If I think of something else, I'll post it.
I have the exact same problem. Tried all the resolutions mentioned above, no result. Wiped out android and used WebOS doctor for full recovery, then installed the latest nightly (24 Nov 2013) still no sound. Somewhere it was mentioned that it is due to a firmware (A6) problem but I don't know how to downgrade or upgrade the firmware.
Any help is appreciated.
Hp Touchpad on CM9 and CM10
I have also tried for nth times but my touchpad 16GB has no audio output (including 3.5mm jack) on CM9 or CM10......... somebody help
I have the same problem, but can install older CM9 builds and have sound. 6/12/2012 nightly is one that has sound for me.
My problem ended up being the head phone jack. I rapidly inserted/removed the headphones several time and my speakers came back to life.
Still very odd that I had audio in WebOS and older cm9 builds the whole time, but I'll refuse the question that logic and am thankful that I was able to get it working.

I have the same problem and the same error messages! It happens on CM9 official nightlies as well as on CM10 and 10.1 unofficials that I have tried from this forum. It has not always been the case, seems like it just started at some point in the past, not sure exactly when or how... I wiped Android using ACMEUninstaller, reinstalled everything freshly and it still happens. When I reboot Android, I have sound for a few seconds or up to a few minutes but then it just stops, usually giving me some lag in the app that was using the sound (e.g. spotify or youtube). :crying:
In webOS, sound works perfectly.

Have you guys considered submitting alogcat to the developers? It might be more productive than just stating that you have a problem. Submitting a logcat might help to get the problem fixed. I remember hearing issues with 64GB Touchpads not playing sound with CM9 Roms. Flashing the audio libs helped a few of those users.
I created a log on pastebin: MyfU2DDU (not allowed to post full urls yet). Who should I send it to? At the beginning of the log, sound was still working, then (I think line ~1280) sound stopped. Afterwards, I'm getting out of memory errors. Running CM10, same problem in CM9 and CM10.1.
Had the same prob and now back on cm-9-20130512 and disabled system sounds. It works now.

No matter what I do, I always have problems

hello all, ive just been having these issues, their always random, either its screen of death, random reboots, google services f/c'ing, it doesnt matter what rom i flash, or if i fastboot back to stock, nothing changes, theres always "something" that goes wrong. I've tried, and tried and tried but something always seems to be messed up with this phone. I dont know what im doing wrong, I've been flashing roms for years and never had so many problems, except, I had these same issues on the nexus 5, same thing.
anybody ells going through this? or is it just me?
i have both nexus 5 and nexus 6, i know both of them very well, is there anything i can help you with? ive figured out solutions to the majority of random things theyve thrown at me..
Thanks for the help. Well, every rom i try has browser f/cs, google play f/cs random reboots sometimes it reboots and wipes cache for some reason. Sometimes its like system ui f/cs so it just does a "soft" reboot, i have audio issues even on stock, like when i get a call, the ringtone starts out real quiet then boosts all the way up, sound is distorted over 50%, i tried to up my voltage by 15mv global and that didnt help anything..... Im not sure what to do, i already switched out the phone once, i think im at the end of my 15 day byers remorse period

The nexus 6 is the best device I've ever owned beside my beloved g2, I did have to get my nexus 6 replaced the second day I had it because of a battery issue, but no problems ever since.
As far as the Gapps force closing, try using a different set of Gapps. I prefer to use the latest version of the multirom twrp and always use Banks Gapps(pm me if you can't find them.)
Only onn two, maybe three, roms have I had soft reboots/blackscreens/systemui closes. And most of the time they can be solved with a different kernel and a bit of tuning with an app such as faux123 or kernel auditor.
Audio problems can be hard to fix, but let's make sure you can distinguish the problems from the features. An example of a common misconceptions is the audio "clipping" or "lagging" when rotating the screen. This is a feature, it is swapping the left and right channels to keep the audio correct. There is a build prop line you can edit to diable this.
The phone ringtone volume steadily increasing is also a feature in most roms, including stock. It can be found in Settings>sound and notifications> and somewhere near the vibrate option.
Sound distortion is a problem I suffered from on older roms. I eventually started using viper4android on ALL of the roms I install with the superior audio driver (power drain is unnoticeable). All the settings are super easy to use, and easy to discover while playing a song and listening to the differences. Just make sure selinux is set to permissive.
I don't think increasing/decreasing the voltage can be any good for the hardware. If your car says "premium only" then you shouldn't run regular or racing fuel, you should stick to what was intended to work. You can kill battery life, starve the cpu/gpu, increase lag and overheating when messing with voltages.
Try this.
Go get the LATEST version of twrp, go find the Pure nexus rom and download it and Banks gapps, also go find francos kernel and download the latest release.
WIPE EVERYTHING TWICE (cache, dalvik, system, data) and install ROM>KERNEL>GAPPS and reboot into your super stable phone!
Message me for anything else!

what bin number does your phone have? try raising your cpu, inly at your highest cpu, by 20-30mV more. about it wiping the cache, what build android are you on? it used to do that to me all the time, but not since android 5.1.1 hit aosp.

Go get the LATEST version of twrp, go find the Pure nexus rom and download it and Banks gapps, also go find francos kernel and download the latest release.
WIPE EVERYTHING TWICE (cache, dalvik, system, data) and install ROM>KERNEL>GAPPS and reboot into your super stable phone!
Message me for anything else!

Thanks for the info. As for the google f/cs, so far that was only on one rom, and i havent had it since. Only browser f/cs are what im dealing with now. As for the sound. I understand the differences between the features, this is not a feature, i know what you mean by increasing ringtone, my issue is nothing like that, its not like, the sound slowly gets louder and louder... It starts out real quiet, and then BOOM full volume. Sometimes the speakers pop a little. Its weird, because it only does this the very first time a sound is played, if i have for instance, touch sounds enabled, and go through my ringtones, i dont have any sound issues. But if i turn off touch sounds, then go back to ringtones, the very first one i select will be reeeeal low.... And then BOOM full volume. This was the very first thing i checked when i switched out phones, and the very first time i tryed it on the brand new phone it did this very same thing. I just assumed it was a known issue.

what bin number does your phone have? try raising your cpu, inly at your highest cpu, by 20-30mV more. about it wiping the cache, what build android are you on? it used to do that to me all the time, but not since android 5.1.1 hit aosp.

bin number? do you mean BUILD number? I have the tmobile variant of the nexus 6, before i started flashing roms, the first thing i did was download the factory image of 5.1.1 for the tmobile version, which is (LYZ28E), then i found the unenforced encryption boot.img someone posted which is the same boot.img, I unlocked, flashed the stock 5.1.1 image, unencrypted the device, then went on to flashing roms, right now, im on cyanideL which is LYZ28E, and so far, ive had two reboots, one of them had wiped cache by itself apon rebooting, same sound issues, same browser force closing, i even tried chrome, which force closed the second i loaded a web page, other than that, taptalk, g+ hangouts all work fine, its just these 3 or 4 same issues with pretty much all roms

sorry, i edited my post above, I try to use AOSP, which seems to be the best, it force closes the least, but chrome immediately f/c's, firefox works pretty good too, but it has graphical glitches all over the place,
ugh..... so i just wiped everything twice and flashed pure nexus rom, and i have no service, at all... . it just never ends.

reboot.
try this rom, with the latest gapps, and supersu, its Terminus https://goo.gl/ojD6Z6
now i know that this rom has no issues. if you start developing issues, its either something that your doing, or defective(or something else?).

well, its definitely getting interesting. I just tried optipop, and my sound was working normaly! but to my amazement, it was very laggy and system animations werent working correctly, if i backed out of a screen, sometimes it would slide down, sometimes the creen would just flash white and would switch to the last screen, if that makes any sense. I got the same thing as all roms, no network, but i went and searched for networks and it failed, but then my network signal popped up, and when i tried it a gain, tmobile popped up.
so now im trying tremindous, and its doing the same thing with the network, im testing everythnig ells now.
BTW, what kernel would you suggest?

he doesn't include ondemand and no oc. i know his conservative is similar to ondemand, but its not the same. and i strictly use ondemand. about oc, he made me an oc kernel that i used for a little, but its old now. amyways, i dont really use his kernel, but we are still friends

How is OC for batterylife? Is there a big difference when you OC to say 3Ghz and what about heat issues or do you undervolt?
