[Q] [CM] phone / audio issues in recent nightly? - LG Optimus 4X HD

Folks;
not sure where to put this - apologies if this is the wrong forum: Using CM11 nightlies (downloaded via CyanDelta) on my p880, I update to the recent builds fairly often. With the last two or three nightlies, I experience repeated audio issues while doing outgoing or picking incoming calls: By then, it seems the phone audio is muted or not working, I am not able to hear anything, but obviously the "other end" does hear what I say. I don't get no dialtone then, either, even though the call obviously is being established. In some situations, trying this two or three times helps. Sometimes rebooting the device helps. It's not generally there but a bit annoying. Is this a known problem? Anything I can do about this? In cm-11-20140920-NIGHTLY-p880, this problem(?) is still there.
TIA and all the best,
Kristian

if you check official cm11 thread, you will see that the issue is recognised and is being worked on.
other than that, you can install 23.9. nightly, or wait till it's fixed.
cheers.

Thanks a bunch for your reply!

[Q] noise when put to sleep

I installed CM9 Alpha 0.6 last night. Every time the device goes to sleep (or is put into sleep mode) my Touchpad makes a weird, high pitched screeching noise for a couple of seconds. This was a clean install, and I wiped everything before first boot into CM9.
I've searched Google, XDA, and RootzWiki but cannot find anything related to this. I also get the weird farting-type noises but this screeching noise is completely different and only occurs when the device goes into sleep mode.
Any ideas or fixes for this?
Thanks!

Strange. My HPTP-CM9 doesn't screech or fart. Good luck. Keep us posted as to what you find.
I'm having the same issue with screeching when it goes to sleep....no farting noises though....did you ever determine what was causing the issue and how to fix it?? FWIW, I'm using CM9 Alpha 2.

phone.android keeps crashing on JB (CM10)

I've been running hashcode's CM10 build for about a week (KEXEC-cm-10-20121103-UNOFFICIAL-solana) and everything has been pretty solid except each time I end a call with somebody, the phone.android service crashes. This isn't a huge deal because it happens at the end of every call, but nonetheless, I'd like to get all the crashes figured out. Anybody else running into this issue in any JellyBean roms on the D3?

Yeah - it happens to me about half the time. I'm trying to figure out if it makes a difference whither it's an outgoing or incomming call or who hangs up first, but can't see a pattern yet.

It's fixed in the 12-12 build. Sensor works during phone calls now too.

[Q] O4X mutes itself...sometimes

First, a HUGE thanks to this community, both the O4X and xda, as a whole. Can't tell you how many times the collective expertise here has saved my...
To my issue: on occasion, my phone mutes itself. The onscreen display doesn't show my end as being muted (pressing and repressing does nothing). I end up having to end the call and call again, which is a pain after being on hold for 20 minutes.
I can find no rhyme or reason for this behavior either. Most of the time it's on outgoing calls, but happens on incoming also. Happens across networks (VZW, AT&T) and with landlines (calling my bank). This has happened in the morning, afternoon and at night, though it doesn't happen in the middle of a call, only the beginning. Just seems to be random.
I've browsed through the 3845#*880#/hidden menu but didn't find any sort of relevant tests. If anyone has any thoughts and/or solutions as to what's going on, be happy to hear 'em.
Thanks

i had this issue, pinpointed it down to viber, for some reason. uninstalled it, and it works fine now. a workaround is, during the call, switch to speaker, then normal again, your mic should be working for a minute or so

Thanks for the timely reply Flying_Bear.
I don't have Viber installed (assuming it's an app/service called Viber, not com.lge.viber or something). The sole reason I went root was to clean out the bevy of junk that comes preinstalled. Unfortunately, your work-around didn't work either. Just called my bank and switching between speaker and earpiece had no effect; the operator still couldn't hear me.
Any other guesses?
I did find this from another thread, reads like CM10 might do the trick, but I'd rather not go that route if possible. This seems to be a known, albeit infrequent, yet annoying issue.

oh well, it seems that our problems, even though they have similar simptoms, aren't caused by the same thing. i can't give you much, except the standard factory reset / reflash .kdz advice. good luck!

hi everyone, i had upgraded my 4x HD to jellybean by LG pc suite and it seems very good, after 2 days a big f*** problem appeared, when i call anyone or received a call, at any time ,i can hear the another person and he can't, it may be takes 20 seconds or 2 min then the line cut out. this problem appeared after upgrade the mobile to jellybean. if there any solution for that ?????
Factory reset test sound again and see if there is any improvement.

I had the aame problem, and some other members too. We narrowed it down to voip communication (Skype , viber) causing the issue. I recommend kitkat roms, havent had any issues on kitkat regarding that.
A workaround is to trigger speakerphone, then back to normal, mic should work again for some time
i tried to do factory reset and nothing change :s :s

I'm on kk and skype gives a lot of problems, it crashes during calls without a good reason to be closed -.- Phone Calls close in the same way when I turn on wifi or data connection

Microphone only works during calls

Good afternoon,
I have had a Nokia 8 for a few weeks now and have now found that my microphone only works during calls. While I'm on the phone everything works normally but in all other apps nothing happens, e.g. in Whatsapp you only hear a short crack when you hear a voice message and then nothing, although you have said something (see attachment), also other apps that use the microphone like the Google Home App or a guitar vocal app don't work. Of course the permissions are set correctly for all apps but apparently this has no effect (see attachment). I've already written with Nokia Support, but after 14 mails about permissions, emptying caches and doing softresets they couldn't help me. Finally I was told to wait for the next Android update and hope that my problem was fixed there, or I should send my phone back to the dealer. My hope now is that one of you has an idea what could be the cause of the problem.
Thank you for your time!

Hello to everyone there,
I have next problem on my Nokia 8:
When somebody calls me or when I call someone on viber, I turn on speakers and other side can't hear me. Also when I put it on video call the same issue conitnuous to take. Regular GSM calls or viber VoIp calls works great as well as video calls with headphones.
I open ticket to a viber about this problem, and they told me I need to contact my manufacturer.
Yesterday I installed an Android pie from beta labs, but the problem still exists. How do you think the problem is hardware?

Hi ratola,
you can dial *#*#372733#*#* for a hidden FQC test menu, here you can test each mic seperated, i guess in your case it's the second mic in the top-speaker.

Hi Joeigel, unfortunately I have the same issue (and story regarding contacting support). The only way I can make calls via for instance WhatsApp is by using a handfree headset, or setting it to speaker-mode.
Waiting for the Android 9 release, if this isn't fixed with it, I'll send it in for warranty.
I do have another issue with the phone, and that's when I unlock my phone using the fingerprint scanner, 1 out of 4 times or so, the phone enables split screenmode. Do you (or someone else here) have similar experiences. It's quite annoying.
Update: Installed Pie, and no improvement. Issues still persists. Returning the phone today.
Sorry for the late response, my phone is also on it's way back to GB...

Ok, just got an update from the repair-center, they replaced a part and it should work OK now. Curious to see what they did and if it's resolved. Have to wait until it's shipped back. But keep us also posted about your progress
Off-topic: another issue I sometimes experience is when I unlock my phone with fingerprint, it sometimes switches automatically to the split-screen mode. It happens quite often and it's a bit annoying. Did you experience something similar with your Nokia?

I didn't experienced something like this. Did they send it back to you yet? Maybe they fixed both... ^^'
Microphone issue here too.
Internal mic on front facing camera is the culprit. I noticed a few weeks back that my 'ok google' hotwords were no longer working. This became a problem after I installed the december security patch. I rolled back to the november security patch and this did temporarily fix the issue, after I had gone through the initial setup of the phone, my 'ok google' hotwords worked, until i went to use the camera to see if the issue still existed... unfortunately it does. Contemplating rolling back to july to see if the issue is resolved, or trying to move forward and installing pie.

I've tried going up or down, I have oreo and pie on each of my A/B partitions and it does nothing. When i downgraded to oreo it worked for awhile but updating the google app or some sort of background service broke it again. Its definately mic 3 that has a fault, it has background interference noise when i do the test, it also occurs when recording video with the front facing mic on camera, the problem with the mic never goes away, after up/downgrading, I can't say whether this is related since it works prior to updating. rolling back/disabling doesn't solve the problem for the apps. Microphone/earpiece holes are clean and undamaged.

After further testing of this issue, the 'OK Google' issue is still present, if I want to ask google assistant 'ok google' the microphone barely picks up anything or even my question, practically screaming into the microphone is the only way to activate it, this matches with the results on my google activity, listening to my recordings of my queries shows evidence that the microphone sensitivity is way too low.
HOWEVER, when using google assistant by means of pressing the microphone and then asking the question, the result is clear and understandable and doesn't suffer from volume issues, I can't pinpoint if this is an issue with the Nokia specifically, it is not a problem with any other application that uses the microphone.
Having the same issue with Mic 3. It means I can't use it in speakerphone mode during calls or in Skype. It doesn't prevent me from using the Google assistant though.
My smartphone was sent in and repaired (complete motorboard replaced). During the time it was gone Android 9 came out, so I'm not sure if it was the repair or the software update.
But it works again without any problems
Kind regards
Joeigel
