[Q] Almost no vibration after installing CM11 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was using a nightly version of Cyanogenmod 11 for a while, and after one of the nightly updates, my vibration intensity has basically gone to nothing. I can still feel it very slightly but it's almost imperceptible. To try and fix it, I've gone as far as restoring to stock everything (including stock recovery etc.) to see if that would fix it, but still the same issue. Is there any chance this is still a software problem, or is it probably an issue with the vibration motors themselves?

cm based roms normally have a vibration strength that it set very low. Download trickster mod from the playstore and go to the fourth page (specific), you can set the vibrator strength there. Stock HTC One Sense is 2700.

Yeah I tried that, I set it to the highest value and was still imperceptible. Hardware issue?

cm6 nightly/rc1/rc2 battery sucker > Call HTC?

ever since i flashed cyan6 ive been getting super battery problems and im starting to think its my phone and i should call htc. so before you ask questions lemme tell you what ive done. ive changed my setcpu to ondemand 998 to 245, 384 to 225 when the screens off. ive used auto brightness instead of my own custom brightness. ive also tried the HTC battery calibration process and that didnt do much either. on cm6 under about phone>battery use my display is always the highest percentage by far. for example its been 93 percent with 8 minutes on. ive also flashed wildmonks kernel to save battery and saw low results. any help would be super appreciated
Don't call HTC about problems with custom roms. Flash back to stock and see if the problems persist. I have no problems with the current nightly builds.
Don't use setCPU the way you are using it because it interrupts those values which are in the kernel already. setCUP is only for overclocking, that is it.

really? so dont underclock at all. just overclock. and your saying i should flash back to stock froyo?
Just uninstall setCPU for the sake testing. All values should remain as default in that application except for the max high-end value if you want to over-clock, but even then it's such a small difference I view it as more of a show-off point rather than a practice use state.
Flash one of the newest nightly builds, see if your battery problem goes away.
Don't bother HTC if you have problems with custom roms only about problems with the stock rom.

So you have battery problems with a custom ROM, and you think it's HTC's fault.... wat?
Sure, send it in. $245 later, they'll send you a stock Nexus One with a new motherboard.

Install OS monitor. Open the app, go to the right tab messages. Now hit menu, options, scroll down to dmesg, filter tag, and type in the 4 letters batt. Now go out of settings and to the right tab messages and see your numbers. When you find data you want to keep for comparison, click export.

[Q] New HTC One Owner - Which ROM?

Hi All,
I've recently purchased the HTC One and flashed it with Android Revolution for 4.2.2
There are some small issues that I don't like with the phone which are:
- Camera isn't very good
- It gets warm often (even after browsing the web > 10mins)
- Volume steps are not to my liking (coming from IOS) - too large of a gap when hearing music
I've recently discovered ElementalX which has thermal options, maybe this will fix the warm phone issues? Anyone have experience with it working well with phone temps?
I'm not sure how to fix the camera, is there a ROM/Kernel that improves it?
There is a volume step fix out which doesn't do anything to the volume but increases the steps - so I guess there isn't a fix for this yet.
In conclusion, I think I've overloaded the phone trying different kernels (I like the HTC logo option to turn on/off) and I'm thinking of starting from scratch again. I want a near stock ROM e.g. Android Revolution - or should I just put stock on there (will root access still work on a stock rom if I've installed SuperUser ?)
Does ElementalX work on any ROM with 4.2.2?
What's the best ROM + Kernel for the things I want? Should I go back to stock + ElementalX? Will that work?
Hope someone can help, thanks!!

There are several Volume Step Mods in the Themes / Apps Section.
My personal Setup is ViperRom 2.1 with Elemental 3.4 Kernel but my Battery get on 42 Degrees so its not a heavy Problem when u can live with the temps
The Cam is a 4Ultrapixel so u dont get more then 4MP but u get 300% more Light on Night Shots...
If you want a rom like Android Revolution, why not go with Android Revolution? I'm using it with ElementalX.
The thermal options will make your phone run cooler, but it will impact performance somewhat. There are mods for the volume steps.
And for the camera, it's nothing without Zoe, so I'd recommend a Sense rom if you want at least somewhat nice pictures.

I've tried the volume mod but although the number of steps increases, the volume doesn't. So it acts like you don't have a mod to change the volume but just increase the number of steps (if that makes sense)
Did you get 42 degrees with the thermal option set? Is that under heavy load?
I can always see pixels (dots) on the camera which is why I said it isn't very good, maybe it works better outdoors. Isn't ViperRom heavily customised? I'll have a look anyway.

Your signature says you're using Stock! Anyway I was really just asking if it's worth installing Android Revolution if I can still get root access with the stock rom? Is that possible? Maybe I'll stick with Android Revolution.
Is there a way to remove these Kernels that I've added (can't remember which one I got) - should I just reflash Android Revolution without wipe? I don't want to lose stuff e.g. apps/contacts/bookmarks etc.
Do the thermal options slow the phone down? It is quite annoying at the moment that the phone decides to get warm whenever I start to use it, to do anything!
Thanks

ARHD contains a lot of optimizations, as mentioned in the thread. Reflashing a rom will also re-install the kernel (if it's included in the rom .zip). Seeing as you have root access, you can easily back up your apps using Titanium Backup, and you can sync the contacts + bookmarks with your Google account so they'll be automatically re-added. But as you're already on ARHD, it probably can't hurt to "dirty flash". Just make sure to make a backup in case anything goes south.
And you're right about my sig, I'll edit it now

ViperRom based on Stock Sense Rom with a bunch of Tweaks
and the 42 degrees are under heavy load like high performance games e.t.c.
greeetings
and the camera has greater pixels for more light thats the 300% light extra
Installed the new update to ARHD + ElementalX with thermal set to cool. It does seem to have cooled down slightly which is good! It's a bit early to tell if it really is cooling it down though.
The only issue I have now is that "Keep" keeps closing unexpectedly. I have disabled it for now. Anyone know why Keep keeps crashing and how to fix it?

I tried a few ROMs before I landed on the stock Google Play Edition 4.3 Conversion. Loving it so far, it's very clean compared to both stock sense and the other ROMs that I tried.

Yea I gave GPE a go today and almost immediately missed sense, Nothing wrong with it, infact it looks great and performed well, I just missed sense.
HTC have done a great job this time round.
However I've got my eye on Paul's Modaco switch rom, which looks to tick all the boxes, only problem i can foresee is the inability to use custom rom's for the switch, I'm not a great fan of stock sense, I like colours and mods too much
Each to their own.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm gonna stick with ARHD + ElementalX for now
I don't want to move away from sense otherwise I could have got a nexus 4 instead, and I like blinkfeed.
I tried a vid today and the phone didn't warm up that much,!! Maybe it's also because I used airplane mode and battery saver at the same time too.
Now I just gotta fix my other problems like find a better video player than vlc which seems to have some slight sync issues. Try to get my klipsch headphones to work better I.e. button controls and get this volume step issue sorted! Any suggestions for any of these?
Maximus HD 12.1.0 FTW
So far my favorite Rom. JB 4.3 with sense. Best of both worlds! Also has 4.1.2 speaker volume & can add CRT-off animation

Totally agree with you, Sense is beast (though I like CM and the likes too)!
I like MX Player for my videos and you can try Jays Headset Control for the headphones.

Thanks I'm using some headphones controller which works ok. Sometimes I have to double tap a million times before it works tho which is quite annoying. Setting speed to slower or faster doesn't help.
Using bsplayer for vids seems good no sync problems. So many roms to choose from! I'll stick with ARHD until 4.3 officially is supported by apps and released. This phone is slowly getting better thanks for your help all.
Another question... When I send a SMS and select a contact they appear more than once because its looking at the phone and SIM card at the same time. Is there a way to only look at the phone so I don't see duplicates?

[Q] Audio stops working from time to time

Hi everyone!
I have a strange problem with my Droid 4: sometimes it stops playing sounds (or music, or ringtones), and I can't figure out if there's something in particular that triggers this. Anyway the only fix I could find is rebooting the phone.
There's another problem though: when this happens, if I try to use the phone app or the contacts app, the app itself hangs before I can do anything. If I kill the hanged app and retry a few times, the phone reboots itself.
Any idea on what could be causing this? What could I try to diagnose the problem?
I'm using a Verizon-branded Droid 4 with CM10.1.3, but I had the problem on 10.1.2 too. If it's relevant, I had to install "Tobby's mod" to enable GSM (I'm in Europe)
Many thanks for your attention!
This is the only and the known problem with droid4 on cm10.1 cm10.2 but I have a very good experience with the latest nightlies using buildprop editor to change only the telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0. Don't use the patch and se if it helps for you.
Sent from my XT894 using xda app-developers app
I have that property "zeroed" already, do you mean I should try reverting Tobby's mod?
Try the latest nightlies, there are some changes regarding to apns, it's updatable from cm10.1 and make only that change don't apply any patch.

I've seen this on stock, and I think it's related to bluetooth - perhaps it's not releasing the audio properly after a device disconnects?
There's an app in the Play Store called "Earpiece", and I can use that to bring the audio back when that happens by switching it on, and then switching it off again.
HTH.
Steve.
I don't use bluetooth at all, but I'll try Earpiece, thanks
the problem is that it will crash before you realize and you will loose the next call, so I don't think it is of some use.
I tried latest nightly and safestrap 3.65 (from 3.63) and I had lots of black screens, several on one day and then I realize that before, I had it working stable on cm10.1 when I found out that noop was the problem, cfq and deadline was ok (after speaking with hashcode it made the default to cfq) but it was on safestrap 3.11, but then newer versions of safestrap appeared and I updated it and from time to time it started to go bad again.
I reverted back to 3.11 and I have it working ok since 17.11.2013 (almost 2 days of stable, finger crossed)
I would ask hascode if safestrap can be a problem, but now he has retired in supporting the d4, of course this can be applied to razr

the 05 fromm stargo is not so ok, the previous was stable, or at least I didn't had problems.
I'll try the 07, I have problems with deep sleep and I don't know why, because for now wakelocks can't be accessed on 4.4, then again is not a new install, is an upgrade from 10.2
the strange thing is that now I have another error in catlog when it goes out of sound compared to the error when it is on the gsm patch, maybe I'll try a test without changing build.prop at all, in the end it doesn't matter if the signal icon is wrong as long as it's stable.

Hey! Joril! I posted in your other thread, on another forum, about this same topic, but I figure that I'd get comfy here, since the Droid 4 "scene" has seemingly migrated from DroidForums to this website.
Anyway, I haven't been able to fix the problem. In fact, at one point, when the audio died, I went through the typical steps - I turned off Bluetooth, and reset the phone. However, when the phone was "coming back", so to speak, an "Android is upgrading" box popped up. Odd, I thought, since I didn't do anything different. Anyway, it gets through this, and... I get an UID error. Something about the UID being inconsistent with the system, and that the data partition was terribly unstable.
So, my phone was freaking out. Great. I was missing several apps, and the whole device is incredibly unstable - apps are crashing, left and right, as well as background services. It is at this point that I decide to bite the bullet and restore my phone to stock settings.
I do so. I use the Droid 4 Utility, restore the stock ROM, getting rid of Safestrap 3.11 in the process. Everything's back to normal. Stabilized. I commence to rooting the phone, installing the latest version of Safestrap, and installing CyanogenMod 10.1.3. I get it running, and... the problems remain. I still have the same audio issues. MMS is still iffy. GPS is a hit-or-miss process; every once in a while, if the planets align, a system reboot will "fix" GPS.
Anyway, that's my story. I've been doing some research - or, rather, a lot of research - and it seems to me that the audio problem was, perhaps, fixed in the latest CyanogenMod 11 build. Something about the previous code not playing well with the "Audio HAL", whatever that is, and the Audio HAL issue being consistent with other phones with the same processor, I believe - or something to do with an "MSM8660". I believe that "MSM8660" is a Snapdragon processor, but I could be wrong!
To make a long story short: CyanogenMod 10.1.3 seems to be stuck with the audio/crashing issue, but CyanogenMod 11 may fix it. I'm not ready to make the jump to CyanogenMod 11, though, not until it is FULLY stabilized and out of Experimental/Alpha/Nightly status. In that regard, I wonder how open Stargo, Hashcode, or another coder would be to patching up 10.1.3 with the GPS/MMS fixes that have been seen in the later builds? I don't know how to code, but it should be relatively simple to patch the few crippling bugs remaining on 10.1.3, using code from future builds and versions.

Right now I'm on a CM10.2 nightly and the audio issue appears a bit less than when on 10.1, I'd say once every 5/6 days instead of once every other day... Anyway I'd like to wait a bit more before trying CM11 too
CM11 has this issue also, but the error will not be the same if the build.prop has only lteoncdma modified, for me, if I apply the full gsm patch the error will appear more often and catlog will show the cpu pegged error.
the problem with CM11 (for me) is no deep sleep, the sound issue is not so important anymore

[Q] Need to wait a while for the screen to turn on

Hey,
So my dad isnt exactly satisfied with the custom ROM I flashed on his device, he needs to wait about 4 - 5 seconds (!) when theres an incoming call for the screen to turn on. The ringtone will keep on going off during that few seconds, but the screen will be black.
So I tested it on my Nexus 4, and no such issue has been spotted by me. Although, on his device, no matter how many times I tried, the issue was never gone and I had to wait a couple of seconds for the screen to turn on so I could see who's calling.
I'm not sure whether it is a kitkat issue or not, I tried 2 different roms, first BeanStalk, and now CyanFox, both had the same issue.
I also tried to flash CM10.1, but the keyboard kept on crashing after a fresh flash, wipes didnt help (maybe someone could give me a hand here?).
Another question is, where can I find some good call recording app? the ones from the play store aren't good, they only record one side of the call, never both
tl;dr:
is there some setting that I should change for the screen to turn on quicker when theres an incoming call on kitkat?
what to do if I want to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean?
is there some GOOD call recorder app around?
thank you

hey, thanks for your reply
actually no, STOCK 4.1.2 didnt have this issue, it started to show when I flashed 4.4.2 on it, is there some sort of fix for this or do I have to downgrade to JB? I'd rather stick to KK as I prefer it more.
on the other hand my dad hated google hangouts and he wants the stock messaging app back, I guess I can only go with CM
also I cant install a keyboard from the market, because I cant even log in to my google account, I cant get through the setup without a few things crashing over and over again, every second or so. the keyboard doesnt even show up
delete the latinIme.apk from the zip file you are trying to flash and substitute it with one from the other roms you tried flashing.
I know how to control the delay with which the ringer starts but not screen :s
These commands I think only help when call ends but it doesn't hurt to try, add them (or check the values if already present)
to build.prop in zipfile before you flash it
Code:
ro.lge.proximity.delay=5
mot.proximity.delay=5
I am on kitkat right now and have no lag issue...have you tried changing kernel?

hey, thanks for your reply
I flashed Nameless ROM and surprisingly the lag issue is gone, and due to stripped gapps I flashed, I got the old messaging app back, which is quite the perfect combo, now the only thing I am missing is a good call recording app, is there a chance you can suggest one to me?
thanks again!

well I tried it out, the rom is nice and all, but my phone is extremely slow, the lag issue with phone calls is back, sometimes turning the screen off is impossible, or takes up to 2 minutes (!). turning it back on isnt much better either, I dont know what the problem is, the same thing happened on the BeanStalk ROM so I assume it isnt a software issue, but a hardware one, do you have any ideas what could be the problem and how can I solve it?
I want to tell you my experience about custom roms.
I don't know if you tried this combo: CM11 + kicos kernel (modified iodak's kernel) + minimal PA gapps
I works for me very well.

yeah, but shouldnt all the 4.4.2 ROMs be quite snappy? doesn't kitkat reduce the hardware requirements? why would JB work fine (or so I think, I'll go back to stock in a few mins and see) and KK be laggy as hell?
I've got a theory, I'm not a hardware guy and I dont know if I'm right or not, but:
could be that one of the cores is damaged and the system tries to switch some tasks to the damaged core (if android handles different cores the way I think) and that core doesnt really work the way it should, causing the entire system to work like a granny?

This is probably some wake/lock problem with software. Also on my o2x i've noticed strange lag when i press the power key it has lag until the screen comes on buttons below the screen light and after a couple of seconds the screen. It has 4.3 CM rom there if your father is using this phone i would suggest you some stock based rom with custom kernel. They should not have problems like these.

That still the best sollution for him - optimized kernel with stable ROM. He probably isn't techno freak?

could be, however, it isnt only for the power button, when the screen is off and a call is coming, it needs a few seconds for the screen to turn on, after the call is done, the system is all choppy and laggy. Turning the screen off after that is also nearly impossible, due to power button malfunction. I went back to stock for now and I'll see if the lag is gone, if it isnt, then its probably a hardware issue.
edit:
yeah, I'm on stock 4.1.2 and the issue isnt gone.
crap.
sounds like a problem in the timing the processor uses for scaling frequencies...
hav no idea what could be causing it unless you have some kernel tweak app and set wrong values
Have you tried clean flashing the Roms you installed? Have you Factory-Reset, Cleared cache, cleared Dalvik cache, and maybe did a system partition format before flashing?

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

Ima jump in here and try to provide a helpful response.
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.

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.

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?

i get from 5-6.5h sot using 3033mhz/300mhz ondemand/deadline. and the n6 doesnt have a heat issue. in fact, i have a hard time getting it over 75C whwn im pushing it to try and get hot.
