[Q] Bad sound quality in phone calls

Hi.
I saw several threads on the matter but with no solution and they're from September 2010... maybe some new info has emerged...
I just bought the Captivate (not using with AT&T). It was with android 2.1 and with a decent outgoing sound quality.
I upgraded to 2.2 (installed [ROM] Obsidian V4.2) and now the outgoing phone calls are with bad quality.
The incoming sound is perfect. People tell me I sound bad as if from a very distant and deep submarine... I tried re-surfacing but alas it didn't help...
Is there any solution? driver? another ROM proved with quality? since at first it worked fine I imagine it's a software not hardware problem.
Thanks in advance.

I found that most of the newer 2.2 roms are based on the I9000UGJK3 modem and kernel which allows us to have HSUPA, but call quality suffers greatly. Until theres a source released for us cappy users, we're stuck with this issue. I went back to cog 2.16 because of that

Actually that new modern you mentioned is part of my daily driver. You just have to make sure you paiute the current modem with the correct rom.failure to do so will result in the results you have received.

I am also having horrendous call quality issues with that I9000UGJK3 setup.

So basically no one knows what can be done and I'm stuck with an amazing phone that can't be used as a phone....
Not able to use warranty - bought in the states and not living there....
ANY ideas???

[Q] What's your favourite ICS for Nexus One?

I'm curious...what is everyone's ICS distro of choice for the Nexus One?
i.e. BCM / TexasIce / MIUI
No bashing allowed...only critical conversation please!
I'm using BCM as I like to have the Cyanogenmod features.

+1 for BCM9

BCM is running pretty smooth and with good features.

Damn.
That's a lot for BCM.
I'm currently running TexasIce. No problems. Smooth as silk.
What does BCM have over TexasIce? Have they fixed the video camera FC?

CyanogenMod 9 I don't care about the video camera, rarely use(d) it.

Gotcha.
So what does BCM have over TexasIce? I'm in no way trying to poke holes in anybody's preferrence. If anything, I'm looking for a reason to flash BCM here. Is BCM basically just TexasIce with the CM9 toolbox? Is one any more "AOSP"-ish than the other?

As I said, BCM has CyanogenMod 9 over TexasICS. I got really used to CM7, and CM9 is no different (some functionality is still missing though). I tried TexasICS a few times, but I feel like BCM fits my needs more than TexasICS. I don't have anything against TexasICS, and I don't think people should see these 2 ROMs as opponents.

I got you bro, but my question is still pretty unanswered.
To begin with, I'll say that I LOVE the CM team and all their work. The CM ROMs are minimalist, yet customizable, ultimately providing an android experience that's unadulterated by even the slightest carrier modifications. Plus it's tailored for the power user.
I know this, but that's not quite what I'm looking for in the answer.
I'm simply wondering, besides being associated with the cyanogenmod team, is BCM more stable/closer to being a complete, bugless AOSP distribution of ICS than TexasIce?
I gather that they have not fixed the video camera FC- something that's not a big deal to me.
For example, this is the list taken directly from the TexasIce thread of things that are NOT working:
Gapps might not work properly (search the thread for fixes before posting issues)
USB: MTP / PTP / Tethering
wifi ad-hoc (might work)
Builtin alarm clock app doesn't work 100% of the time.

*Anything in blue doesn't really bother me...and the gapps issue is an old wive's tale
I'm curious about whether the stock alarm clock app is buggy in BCM as well, though.
While it's not on the list, an FC when hitting 'record' in the stock video camera app is the only other major issue. Apparently this is due to having to fix something with the stagefright video encoder
What I'm wondering is- Has BCM fixed ANY of these things as of right now? Or are both ROMs on the 'same page'?

The Gapps that I installed with BCM are all working 100%. Never had any FC or freeze. The USB issues I wouldn't know because I never use it for anything other than ADB/Fastboot. Wifi idem dito. Alarm clock is working 100% for me, never missed any early class. I don't believe I've read anything about the alarm clock not working in the BCM thread
Also, I believe BCM doesn't have the Screen of Death which some TexasICS users are experiencing. But it's the same with every ROM: it can work perfectly on one Nexus One, while it sucks on the other.

Awesome bro that's what I'm looking for.
Ultimately, I've got no real allegiance to one brand or the other. As I said, I love the CM team and what they do. I'm all about results though, and if they're a bit behind TexasIce than I'm not interested.
By the sound of it, though, this isn't the case. I appreciate your input man.
Just flashed TexasIce ICS yesterday, but it looks like I might be flashing BCM today.
Thanks again for the info bro.

Just wait a few hours and somebody else would recommend TexasICS
Please let us know what you think after you've installed BCM!

Yeah, likewise, I haven't tried TexasIce, but the known problems listed as being present in TexasIce (aside from video recording), are non-issue in BCM.
One thing I did discover though - if you take TexasIce's latest Kernel (he posted it in a thread) and put that in BCM, BCM becomes just as fast (or faster) than Cyanogen Mod 7! No hindrance on battery life either. I was in shock - a full speed / slick / stable ICS on Nexus One...now if the video recording / camera scanning features were enabled, this would be 100% fully operational.

I have used both.
Both are equally good and stable but I was on Bcm at the end for a while before I switched to sensation xe.
I preferred bcm due to no SoD issues(drewis kernel solved it later on also) , ease of install and configuration also I was having 3-5 random restarts on tesaxice but seldomly had on bcm, once a week if any.

Really quickly, I know BCM is ported from the HTC Desire/Bravo CM9. Now, I know the Desire and the N1 are almost identical, the only differences being the N1's trackball and capacitive buttons (as far as I know).
So, question: Does the N1 port of the Desire's CM9 distribution have all the N1's hardware working correctly? Trackball wake and notifications? Any/everything else?
Ultimately, even though it's a port, is BCM being developed with the N1 in mind?
Thanks for the info fellas.

+1 BCM with Drew Kernel

Yeah it does. Plus if you want to customize anything, you can install Lightflow to do so.

tried them both, but always preferred bcm.

Nobody has tried. Icy 7. Look on drewgaren Web site

[Q] Best rom for our SGM

Hello guys,
Greetings from Lithuania. I tried like 10 roms and I did not like any of them, they're just not stable enough, or if it's stable, something isn't working and etc. So I'm guessing if there is any stable roms, with queit everything working, don't care about that native wifi and usb tether or something like that. The rom should have a lot of tweaks, music mostly, I'd like to have good sound quality. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972961 this appears to be perfect, but it's for samsung galaxy mini plus, I tried to install it without knowing it's for plus and almost bricked my honey. I don't know if I was doing something wrong or is it really for plus. So suggest me a good working rom.
I saw some topics like this, but these were old.
Thanks, Linas.

Very good rom

I would say gingermod 4.0, for music player, install the stock one or android music player from playstore

[Q] What's the most stable ROM you've tried?

Hi!
I'm have been using PAC-ROM 4.4.Alpha-1 nightly build 2014--03-09.
Perfectly stable... except for the call logs which never seems to register any missed calls.
LOL, a phone that can do everything except calling back missed calls, the irony.
Perhaps you guys/gals came across a flawless ROM?
Post it here!

I think I got screen with even more up time. It was stock 4.3

You can give AOKP a try if you are okay with using os without custom ui

Hi @peterhuh
Welcome to XDA! We typically do not allow best/most stable ROM or kernel threads here. The reason being is that the answer to the question is always subjective. There are many great ROM's and kernels in the dev section. Try a few out for yourself. What you think works best for you may be different than what others may tell you.

CM11 user thread

I'm managing my wife's phone for her (and often looking at it longingly). I was an HTC Evo 3d user before it took a dump a few months ago and at that point I went over to the dark side (Samsung). Happy to be staying in the HTC loop vicariously through my wife's phone.
She's s-off and on a sense rom right now but I'd like to get her on cm11. Unfortunately, texts do not work for her using the official release. Anyone else on cm11? Anyone else experiencing this issue w/cm11?
Either way, I figured it would be useful to have a thread to discuss cm for the m8.
Thanks!

Hmmm. I haven't seen any bugs with texts. I'm on stock right now so I couldn't tell you for sure. Does she have any data at all? Can she make calls?
Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk

Yep calls and data are good.

Hmmm. The only thing I can really think of is that it was either a bad download or a bad flash.
Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk

Could be, I'll have to give it another shot when I can get my hands on her phone. Thanks!

SMS is working for me on the latest nightly. CM runs so well on this phone!

Does anyone else use cm for this phone? Also, why is there so little "original development" for the m8? Isn't this where the aosp Roms would be? Am I missing something?
I put the latest stable release of cm on my wife's phone. Very jealous☺

Check the regular HTC M8 forums. Many of the AOSP roms are available for all variants.
