Okay, so i already asked this int the topic like 5 times and got ignored each time. Same thing that always happens when i actually have a problem.
This rom was working perfectly for about 2-3 weeks when all of a sudden i don't get any notification sounds and sometimes no sound from the calls either.
Notification sounds don't work anywhere in the whole phone in any app.
if i go to pick the sound, it plays it just fine, and when i reboot it'll work for about 5 minutes. Then nothing will ever play a notification sound. I've tried switching to the built in sounds with no such luck. Nothing has been able to fix this.
all i want is a very simple answer. Is there anyway to fix this, or should i go wipe and reflash the phone which i'd much rather not do
I'm afraid the only answer I can provide is wipe and reflash. But before you do that, have you searched in the JACxHERO rom thread? If there isn't an answer there try asking in that thread.
yeah i tried searching and asked 5 times, got ignored each time so basically just decided to ask here.
Really wish there was a herorom with no issues (other than bluetooth+leds, i can live without that)
I've searched the note forum praying for at least one other person to have this issue, there seem to be none. I am really worried.
Sometimes, after a phone call, the 'back' and 'menu' buttons become inactive, as in they don't respond. They light up when you touch the screen, but they don't respond at all. It started happening about a month after I bought the phone. Initially I thought it was a bug from some ROM. I've done several factory resets and flashed new ROMs. The problem doesn't seem to go away. I don't know what to do.
I have to reboot every time this happens, but then it only stays till I get/make a phone call. It doesn't always happen after the first phone call. Sometimes it happens after the second, third etc. But it always happens. Please help.
Thank you for helping me.
You are not alone... happens to me every now and then. Reboot is the only option...

same here since i got the phone with the stock rom, have tried a few custom rom, problem still remains
sorry wrong post ignore
It is very very annoying. I wanted to know if its a hardware issue or a software issue. Rebooting every time after a couple of phone calls is simply unacceptable. If only a very few people have this problem, its probably a hardware issue.
I really want to find a solution. I've grown really fond of the phone, and I don't want to sell it.
So I've not been a member here for very long but I've been following the nexus one, nexus s, and now the galaxy note forums since their inauguration. Up until now I've not had an issue with rooting, installing and tweaking roms etc. I've not made a post yet because I've felt it unnecessary to add to all the b.s. in these forums and if I have an issue I'll search and find an answer or figure it out myself.
I've run into a problem with Stunner 1.4.26 ..
yes. yes. yes. I have gone through the ringer - full wipe, properly done etc. etc.
On a fresh install I cannot access the internal sdcard. The rom does not see it.. I can't post the bug and whats happening in the dev forum as I haven't made enough posts yet, so now I'm getting started.
Hopefully someone else is experiencing this as I type and I'll be able to sort it out soon.
If I can figure out what is going on rest assured I won't keep it to myself. You'll be the first to know. Oh and I wont just say, 'Hey I fixed it!' I'll actually tell you how I did and what the problem was and why I think my fix is valid..
.damn forums.
I am running the lite Marshmallow ROM from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/rom-5-1lightromstock-lmy47e-03-19-2015-t3059493
I think it is pretty much a stock ROM, so I don't think my problem is specific to that ROM.
I use a Bluetooth headset to listen to podcasts. It works perfectly in my car and most of the time works fine in my house. But as soon as I step out of the car or out of the house, it breaks up terribly. Sound will break up to the point where it is not listenable. Sound will go away for many seconds, come back, break up some more. The bluetooth is unusable outdoors for media. But if I make a phone call it works fine. The problem is the same whether I use my Plantronics Explorer 50 or my Kinovo BTH220, so I don't think the problem is in the headset.
Anyone have any ideas on what is happening and how to solve the problem?
It's not a stock rom.
I looked it over, and my intuition says either reflash this rom - or flash a new rom. Many of these roms are "adjusted" here and there by well meaning folks, and yes I've flashed some roms that were really messed up.
I look at the bottom line and here is a rom that is definitely not stock with some alterations that probably are good, so maybe a reflash will get it right. 10 years of software troubleshooting here on my part. Roms do not always flash right the first time.
I have personally had this happen. It's probably a great rom, give a reflash a try.
Without getting a logcat there is nothing anyone can do except guess what the issues is.

Thanks. It has been happening for a while, I think I've clean flashed the ROM and it still happens, but last update I dirty flashed. I'll try a clean flash and/or the stock ROM next time I get a bit of time to do it.

I was hoping someone who had the same problem might chime in. What should I look for in the logcat?

I just clean flashed the latest version of the Lite ROM and it did not fix my problem.

I tried a clean flash of the Lite ROM. That didn't solve the problem. I then flashed the latest factory image (MOB30W). I did not restore anything or install any apps except Google Play Music and Podcast Addict, which I am using to reproduce the problem. I still have the same problem. Bluetooth media audio is working indoors, but as soon as I step outside it breaks up and goes out completely for 20 or more seconds at a time.
I think that rules out the Lite ROM as the problem. Anyone have any ideas for me?
I googled looking for bluetooth audio breakup issues and I found a few things that were suggested to fix it. They were turning off the WiFi and and turning off GPS. I tried both and they did not help my problem. I didn't expect them to because they were fixes for people reporting general bluetooth breakup on specific devices, while I am seeing the breakup on Media Audio, but not Phone Audio.
If anyone knows of a better place to ask my question, please let me know. I've been searching and can't find an answer or a better place to ask the question.
After some research here may be a fix...

I believe this may help. When I flash a phone, I like to use Nexus Root Toolkit, as there are different areas of the phone that can be flashed manually. When I recommended to flash your phone, the "Nexus toolkit by wugfresh" was what I use to flash with. You'll see what it can do. This is a quote from reddit: "Not long after I got my 6P I started having some severe audio problems while streaming over bluetooth. I connect to my car's stereo via bluetooth and stream GPM every time I drive, and the audio would sort of stutter and skip, sometimes 5 times within a few seconds. It was insufferable for me, as there are few things I find more irritating than skipping audio.
***If you are having similar issues, going into recovery and wiping the cache partition completely eliminated the skipping/stuttering problems for me. Obviously, I don't know the nature of any issues you may have, so YMMV, but this saved my sanity.*** I was coming close to trying to RMA it, thinking it was a hardware problem as every attempt I had at finding a software solution had failed.
This gave me sweet relief, I hope it does the same for someone else!" *** Look at the second link for the Nexus toolkit, You'll see that there are 7 - 8 different flashable areas: Boot, Bootloader, Radio/Baseband, Recovery, System, Userdata, Cache, & Vendor. *** (Make sure to get the latest wugfresh nexus toolkit 2.16)***

Thank you. I hadn't found that thread when I searched. I tried the several suggestions in that thread. One was clearing caches, which, of course, I had already done as a result of testing clean installs of the ROM I use and the latest stock ROM. So that didn't solve the problem. The other suggestion was turning off bluetooth scanning in location settings. I hadn't even known that was a thing. I tried turning off bluetooth scanning and wifi scanning this morning and used my phone all day as usual. It didn't solve my problem - no change at all. I had in an earlier test turned off the GPS and that hadn't helped either.
The second link, I believe is just a different way of installing ROMS and managing related stuff. I don't think that tool is going to do anything that I didn't do by installing the latest stock ROM with the flashall.bat script.
Hi everyone so recently my bluetooth has been really unstable. It is extremely frustrating as it will stutter, stop, unpair, turn off and on and right now it won't let me turn it back on. This is preventing smooth music playback. I have done literally everything, clearing cache to factory resseting and to no avail nothing has worked and I'm at the end of the line with ideas and frustration. If anyone can help at all it would be much appreciated. I'm attaching an image of what it looks like when I try to turn bluetooth on and it won't turn on. It greys out and nothing happens, won't turn on, search for devices or anything.
That certainly sounds awful. The last thing I'd try is doing a reflash of your firmware, to see if that helps (maybe something got corrupted along the way, and this should solve that). If that doesn't work, then you might just have a hardware issue. If you're rooted, you could investigate further... I'd start by looking at the logs in the phone to see what's erroring out...
Yeah I have tried refreshing the firmware so I'm guessing it is a hardware issue... but it's happening with the pixel line of phones. But how would I check the logs? Thank you so much for your input!!! I really appreciate it
Refreshing the firmware (or factory reset) is different from reFLASHing the firmware... I just want to make sure you tried the reFLASH.
Wait, is the issue with the Pixel phones, or the Samsung (this forum is for Samsungs).
Also, is it possible that the bluetooth device could be the issue? Does the device work reliably with other phones? For example, my company had many issues with Toyota bluetooth on the company cars and Android phones... this was a few years ago. It's because Toyota didn't follow the standard properly. Other people had issues with Nissans. Again, these were older cars, but the point is that the device was the problem, not the phone...
No the device is fine it's just the phone, I know this because another device works fine with it and even with a car pairing or another BT speaker have the same issues.
Have definitely tried to reFLASH the firmware and I was just saying this problem also seems to be common on the pixel line as well.
Would you recommend to check system logs to see if it's a hardware issue?
Checking logs (like dmsg) is one place to look... to see if there are any warnings and errors in there. I don't have any specific guidance on how to do this or what to look for, but that's where I'd start. I don't know if you can find dmsg logs without root (I tinkered with that in my previous phone which was rooted, but I didn't use it much so I don't have much guidance to offer... you will likely need to read up on what these logs have, etc).
