Hi All,
I know this is a fairly new device, but I was super keen to get it specifically to put cyanogenmod 11 on. After having some trouble with the current version of TWRP posted in another thread here on XDA (which only worked when the phone was in an "out of the box" state, requiring me to do a factory reset due to a mini android update that was automatically applied between reboots - resolved), I got the stable channel release of CM11 which is listed as not having any issues, flashed it, and am having some issues.
The main problem I am experiencing is that regardless of which player I am using, if I open "Settings" from the status bar, whatever media I am playing goes silent. The player appears to still be playing, changing tracks, removing and reinserting headphones, clearing the playlist, re-opening the player...nothing fixes it. And then randomly some time later it will start making sound again if I leave the player running. Is there anyone else that can provide insight into this one? I have heard the problem is addressed for some in CM12, but that is not yet stable for our device.
Cheers.
I can confirm that you also lose system sounds, and that it applies even if you have no headphones plugged in and instead use the phone speaker. Total silence after accessing the settings from the statusbar. I have of course posted this on the Cyanogenmod system, but they have closed it pending a report dump which I cant produce till i am back at my android modding PC.
You have to remove the equaliser from quick settings. You can also use cm 12

As much as I understand you requiring help, you should post questions in the Q&A section and not in the development section.

Is this not a cyanogenmod 11 development issue? Happy for someone to shift it to Q&A if its not a development issue (I dont think I have that ability). Or are development threads only for posting finished products?
CONFIRMED: Problem is caused by equaliser quick settings tile
OK, so I can confirm that the problem is indeed the equaliser quicksettings tile/animation. So as described above there is a work around, and for anyone that needs to know the actual steps to disable the equaliser quicksettings tile please see below (it took me a while to work out as you cant just remove it with a drag/long press the way you can other tiles):
Go to settings>Notification Drawer>Quick Settings Panel>Dynamic Tiles
This is a list of the quicksettings tiles that pop up when triggered by a system event, disable the "Equalizer" (Sic) by unticking the checkbox and the bug goes away.
The equaliser continues to work, you just dont get the quicktile popping up and causing the bug.
Cyanogen Mod developers appear to have picked up the bug so maybe a fix coming to stable release soon?

The latest nightly release of CM11 now includes a fix for this bug. Official release channel still contains the bug, although it does not list it as a known issue for some reason. The next release M channel version should include the fix.
Calendar Not Working CM11
Next problem: trying to add anything to the calendar results in a user prompt that an account must be added first. I only have the cyanogenmod account linked to the phone, and that works fine for contacts. But in the calendar, if you select the cyanogenmod account, it tells you you can only have one account per phone. If instead you add an email address and set up say, work email, when you go back to the calendar it gives you the same prompt again. Does anyone know exactly what kind of account it requires to add, as nothing seems to work. Someone suggested to me to install the Google Calendar Sync component fro G-apps, however this would presumably share my calendar with google, which is precisely what I am trying to avoid by having cyanogenmod. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

After that create an offline calendar in the Offline Calendar App
Then you can use the standard calendar app with the created offline calendar database.
No more need to sync anything with google...

Hi everyone. Im one of the developers of SwitchMe, and app that allows multiple secure logins into separate installations of android on a single device. The pr is after the break.
I really need a few people to check into some issues people on some roms have been experiencing. There are some warnings involved:
- testers must perform a full nandroid backup before using the app, it is not our responsibility if you start getting boot loops
- if you report results or bugs, please use the "Write to us" function in the app whenever possible, and always describe the issue in the header of the logs you send
- if you post here, be sure to include your device type and rom
- if you have apps installed on sd, be sure to mention that as well
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an
account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.
You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps,
others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.
Why is this functionality useful?
Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.
Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.
Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles without games or instant messengers.
Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
The Lite version allows the creation of two profiles, enough to test on.
Screens:
Just started to test it, created 2 profiles : one main, one for testing the switching. After first switch, loading circle started, remained stuck for 10secs (same happens when switching back), then restarted. New loading screen showed up, first load took about 5-7mins. After all loaded, switchme requested SU perms and new google account interface started.
One possible bug i noticed, usually when new google account interface starts, the mobile data service is started so you would have connectivity. This time it didn't start (i had it turned off in profile 1, then switched to profile 2). Although it works properly, it just didn't start at first startup.
All my installed/downloaded applications are not included in the app drawer, so that works nice.
But a drawback i noticed. If the app is focused on the privacy part of sharing one device, gallery pics&videos are accessible from both profiles, so you might want to think of a way of restricting pics&vids accessibility only to the profile that created them (big challenge from my point of view).
All default installed application seem to work without a problem.
One strange thing i noticed, our custom ROM has Beats audio included - in profile 1 (my default one) switching Beats audio on/off works, but on profile 2 (newly created profile) switching it off makes it stuck on off (switching it back on has no effect on audio).
As i don't have a necessity for this app to run it as a daily profile switcher, can't test more in-depth scenarios, but if you want something tested/have a scenario, write it up here or send a PM. Good luck with the development.

- Only bug/or maybe a feature I noticed is The app itself have different settings between logons. I mean If I optimize in one logon, I must made the same changes in other account too. Its sometimes frustating.
- And the setting "logout automatically" not worked correctly. When I speak to someone on phone and proximty turn of the screen, and I remove phone from my ear, It shows the logon screen, everytime.
Seems like everything worked flawlesly. But I have a question. What happens if I uninstall the program?

Lets use our brains to think logically. If it was possible to disable any security by calling the phone, what would be the point of any security at all?

You didnt get my point. This is happen when im on the phone with someone. I need to logon an account to hangup and this take time. If you think logically; I must be already logoned to a profile before starting to speak someone.

Ah now i see what you mean. However, my logic is still right. You are using it on a phone, and phones are not well suited to automatic log off. I mean just how often do you need to switch profiles? Surely you should be doing it manually...

Text to speech bug
Hi all,
I've come across a weird bug that once i have run the "speak current time" actions under the labs section, my phone continues to speak the time for other various actions (eg opening/closing folders, setting the alarm etc).
So far there seems to be no way of stopping it, even killing the Google text to speech service does nothing.
Anyone else with this problem or any solutions?
Regards
G

Hi G,
received your e-mail and replied this via e-mail a couple of minutes ago ...
Hi Gene,
No, you are the first reporting this. There is no Retag background service which could cause this and NFC Retag doesn´t change a TexttoSpeech setting, therefore I would say it´s not related, but stranger things had happen.
First thing I thought, it´s probably related to the CAR Mode ... a lot of devices speak a lot of things (Sms received, folder opened etc. ) while in car mode..annoying and mostly unexpected ... the first time it happen to me, I was completely clueless what was causing this and how to disable.. So please check if the car mode is enabled.
Second thought was the Standard Android Accessibility feature, please check under Settings--> Accessibility that the TalkBack option is disabled (provides spoken feedback for blind users ).
If this doesn´t help, reboot your device and please check again...If the issue still occurs, could you please give us some more details (device, firmware version, etc.) and if possible a log file, so we could analyze this in detail?

Hi ascsa,
Thanks i got your email. Great to see such quick response from developers. I wasn't expecting it, hence the post here as well.
Just to clarify for any other readers, i'll repeat what i sent in my reply email to you.
Driving mode and talkback are disabled on my device.
I found a temporary fix by clearing the data from Application Management->All->Google text to speech service, but it then randomly starts again at a later time. I think the fault may lay more with Android than any app as there are a couple of other applications out there having the same issue. Something about Android calling the wrong service (text to speech) when various apps are started.
For your and others information, my device is a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300T Android 4.1.2 Stock Vodafone AU ROM, rooted. Baseband I9300TDUELL2.
Cheers

No Problem ... ... but let´s move to the official support thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477138&page=100) ...because this is an old thread ...NFC Retag PRO is currently NOT on sale ... and we shouldn´t confuse the users ...
Just to clarify for any other readers, my e-mail answer to your last post :
The Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 (international model) is one of our main testing devices. Not sure if, there is a problem with the Vodafone Rom or the Australian T model, but it´s working fine here on 4.1.2.
Had a short look at our code and the official api and everything seems fine ... but without a log file or better a device on which we could reproduce the error it´s nearly impossible to be sure ...However, you mentioned it happens with other apps, too , so I would bet on some Vodafone "enhancements" ...
Btw. have you tried the Samsung TTS engine (settings--> language& input -->text-to-speech output--> preferred engine) instead of the Google engine?
I notice there are several versions of tasker. Which do I need?

Would anyone be interested in finding the solutions to the problems below as a "job" and giving me a price for the solutions?
(1 - Data Roaming Nag)
Recently upgraded from HTC desire running 2.2 (I think?) to Razr I which is now running 4.12, before if I'd be abroad I'd simply get a text from my service provider about the rates, I always had data roaming enabled as it's a business phone and only €2 for the first 50mb which is more than enough for a days use. So I set the razr up in much the same way, albeit on 4.12 but I had data roaming enabled and when I first got connected to a foreign network it prompted me about data roaming, which I thought would be just a once off for the first time since I already had it enabled, I clicked yes to acknowledge it anyway and continue using data roaming which was fine, but then it seemed as soon as I dropped out of coverage and came back, the notification would come up again. It actually got so frequent that the notification was on my screen almost every time I unlocked the phone and it got pretty annoying.
Has anyone else experienced this and found out a way to disable the popup? I'm not sure if it's android or motorolla related?
(2 - Enable USB Mass storage)
I've seen mods of this but I don't think they are compatible with 4.12, if anyone has a solution or could edit the settings.apk to enable it and post it that would be great
(3 - Contact Sync Issue)
My contacts are not syncing properly. I've over 2,700 contacts as it's a business phone. I save all to my gmail account under different groups (my contacts/business/sport) and never had sync issues on my old desire but I'm having issues with this. When I check the account in settings, sync is fine for everything (calendar, gmail etc) but contacts and the last successful sync is days and days ago. The error just reads "Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back again shortly", which obviously isn't the case. I've tried "contact sync fix" app and although it works, I don't like using such a solution and would of course much rather it to just work as it's supposed to. Also I'm getting a "Sync - too many contacts deletions" notification sometimes that I'm not sure what to do with, when I click it it comes up saying "Deletion limit exceeded" and then says there are 8 deleted items for contacts account [email protected]. What do you want to do?" giving me the options: Delete the items - undo the deletes - do nothing for now. I don't know what to do so just choose "do nothing for now" contacts seem to be still intact but I'm very worried about losing any.
(4 - Space between numbers)
I'm not sure if this is a new thing with the newer androids, a dialler issue or what, but the phone is automatically adding gaps between numbers when I try and save. I've a lot of numbers and prefer to keep them all the same formatting, which is, for example, +353871234567, if somebody rings me, sometimes it comes up as +353871234567 which is grand, other times it might come up as 0871234567 so all I used to need to do was delete the 0 and add a +, now when I edit the number, spaces are automatically added and it shows up something like 087 123 4567. This used to only happen with landline numbers and then sometimes if you tried to delete say the space between 3 and 4, it would delete the space AND the 3!
I thought it was an issue with Go Contacts/Dialler EX but it's happening on EX Dialler too even though I've clicked off the area code setting, so I'm thinking it might be an android issue? Anyone managed to sort it out? I may have found something to do with it from Android Development, but I haven't a clue if that can be changed as a mod for a specific phone?

Thanks for letting me know. Do you think there will be a solution, ever?
I think I solved the contact sync issue, I chose the "undelete" option and then I noticed 8 new "my contacts" groups in gmail itself (from desktop) so I deleted them groups from gmail and I think it's ok now. I also sent Go contacts/dialer to system app (because of a missed call issue) so I'm not sure if this contributed, I also deleted the "contact sync fix" app. Hopefully the issue doesn't resurface.

(for the direct question, see the last paragraph)
Hello,
I'm currently on the stock Oxygen OS 5.0.1 ROM, but I'm having issues with push notifications not working properly or at all in some in cases. I recently switched jobs and I now NEED to have my emails, and specifically push notifications from a specific app(its called Goshare Driver), to arrive ASAP. Currently I'm not get any notifications ever from the app I need, and Gmail notifications randomly will arrive very delayed.
I've tried the following to fix the problem, with no success:
-Making sure the apps have notifications turned on
-setting the notifications for Gmail to Urgent priority
-I tried giving the apps unrestricted data access
-setting notifications to override do not disturb/making sure do not disturb was off
-turning off battery optimization for Goshare. I can't turn it off for Gmail because all the Google apps and system apps do not appear. And the battery optimization link from Gmail app info just takes me to all the apps instead of only Gmail, but again, gmail doesn't appear
-making sure advanced battery optimization is off, it was never on
-i tried completely turning off doze from the developer options menu
-i tried wiping the cache for each app
-i tried wiping the cache from the boot menu
-i tried a full factory reset
-i tried installing an app called "push notification fixer"
-i tried going to apps > special access > notification access, but it's empty
-I tried contacting OnePlus, they don't even seem to understand what the problem is and keep wasting my time telling me to do things I already directly told them I tried
-I also tested the app on my former phone, the Nexus 5. It still has stock Marshmallow, during testing the push notifications did come thru, sometimes immediately, but usually very delayed or only after I woke up the phone. I'd also get a ton of emails at once. But the testing proved it's not the app, or at least I don't think so, because I'm not getting ANY notifications EVER on the OnePlus. My guess is either the problem is the OnePlus 3T stock ROM, or Android itself.
I've heard that some custom ROMs don't have anywhere nearly as many issues as the stock ROM. I did some research and it SEEMS like the most stable/supported ROMs are from lineage OS, OmniRom, and Paranoid android. I've been out of the rooting game for while, since the galaxy nexus, so I'm not sure which to choose. What do you guys recommend is the most stable all around, and especially for notifications, work-oriented/stable ROM for the OnePlus 3T?
I don't care if its Android Oreo or Nougat or Marshmallow, I just want/NEED the most stable, working ROM. I don't really have time to do any testing, I already wasted a lot of time with the factory reset and OnePlus support. For my work I need the calling, GPS/Google Maps, push notifications, Gmail, data to work flawlessly. If you guys can give me any recommendations for which ROM to install, or if its also a waste of time and no ROM will fix this phone/OS, please let me know. From what I've heard the app I need works just fine on the iPhone, and as much as I'd hate to switch, I kinda have no choice if push notifications won't work properly on Android. Thanks in advance.
PS. If the is the wrong forum, please let me know where is the proper place to post, thanks!
After experiencing the same issues and having the same dillema as you do I can only recommend the sultanized Resurrection Remix because it ticks all the boxes. You can find it in the cross device sub forum.
It is also the only rom that got me 4 1/2 - 5 H of SOT which is for me more than enough and if you want to push it further just try xposed with greenify and see if that works out for you. And about push notifications : during my use I didn't had any issues with receiving push notifications regardless which app (Gmail, WhatsApp, Viber,.. Etc)

Hello roadrunnerx, it sounds like the app you want to use isn't optimized for current Android versions. The notification system has been changed a lot due to doze optimizations in Nougat and Oreo... check with the app developer.
Gmail notifications on 5.0.1 should be very reliable on 5.0.1 without any changes, if not necessarily 100% instant. Are you using an actual GMail account? Or third party Exchange/POP3/IMAP?
@roadrunnerx7 recently I also have been struggling with delayed Gmail notifications, but after last app update everything works as it should, mails come fast. You can check my config in the signature; it's stable and I don't experience any hangs or force closes.
You can also try to lock apps in RAM, clicking a padlock icon in recents view, maybe it could help.

What do you mean last update? Your sig says 4.5.1, I'm on 5.0.1. or are you suggesting I go back to 4.5.1?
I'll try the padlock thing.
thanks guys!
Just use Omni or Nitrogen 8.1 roms, per app LED light control, never lets me down. Both super stable roms.

Last update of Gmail app.
And yes, I suggest downgrading, imo Nougat is the best in terms of stability
Beta 1.0 released
I will like to start saying a very big thank you to @bggold who asked me to consider this in the first place
While there isn't any way to use the nice Google Assistant voice, and it's still rough around the edges, this demonstrates how we can use Android Auto in a multi-lingual environment as well as how to read out and reply emails.
The concept is very simple, instead of relaying on Android Auto to read out the notifications I have created a small app which mimics that behaviour, with some extras:
1) It try to do a language detection for each test, and use the appropriate TextToSpeech
2) It allows the user to select which app notification does he/she want's to read
3) If the content is really long (like a lengthy email) the app will prompt the user if it want's to go ahead with the message readout or not
4) If notification supports quick-reply the app will prompt the user for a reply (in the same language as the the original message)
Planning to support a lot of languages but there I will need user input, I have translated the basic strings to around 70 languages using Google translator, but I can tell it's not quite right (I can see with the languages I do speak)
Best part, app won't be affected by 3rd party restriction at all and it won't require root either, however I'm pretty sure Google will not allow it on the PlayStore
Beta version available now on XDA Labs.
App will be payable, however current beta is free so grab a copy while you can
To use the app you will need to enable unknown sources in Android Auto, simply open Android Auto, go to About, tap the "About Android Auto" header 10 times till you become a developer, then from the 3 dotted right menu select developer options and enable "Unknown sources"

Thanks for making this app!
After first start it asked for notification permission and then it was gone to build the list of installed apps/services - endless...
So I've forced close the app after minutes, went to app info/permissions, and enabled unselected permissions for it.
After that the app works now, as it should!
I'll test the functionality today while using AA in my car.

Thanks. It was 3 am )) updating the app now.
This is exactly what I needed. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work. Using Samsung S9 plus running Oreo. Gave read permission to the app, enabled developer settings on Android Auto, enabled unknown sources, enabled whatsapp and Gmail.
Whatsapp notifications haven't changed and it continues to read the foreign text in English. Gmail notifications don't pop up at all.
Any suggestions?

Not sure if you saw but there is a new release. It fixes this issue. Just remember to reboot after updating.
Unfortunately I have the same problem as @yavuzyay. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge with Android 7.0 and Carnotifier Beta v3.
Thanks to @yavuzyay for bugreport and Turkish language input.
I have identified the problem where the app was crashing in case you where using AA on the phone only, and this has been now fixed.
@CeldeSuS - Are you phone only or are you using AA on the car? If phone only, download the new beta 1.4

I'm using AA on the car (Alpine X802D-U head unit). I'll try the new beta anyway and report back.
Awesome. Works perfectly.
V4 work fine with SM960F(android 8.0) & RLink1 !
Great job!
Very good stuff!
I use it with the now playing feature - basically phone picks up music on the radio,.detects the song and artist and throws a notification. This app picks that up and shows it as a notification on the car screen! I have disabled read out. So it stays as a simple notification.
Quick question - haven't been able to try it - if I set zero seconds as the duration, will it leave the notification forever?
Tested but not working as expected. Line is an application which doesn't support Android Auto.
Positive: Yes, Car Notifier shows there is a message on Line.
Negative: Can't do anything, it won't read the message, the notification stays in grey color and nothing happens when I click on the message.
Cheers

You can't click the notification to have it read at this time. If you want them read to you enable the read option.
"Read out notifications" is enabled in the settings, my Honda headunit is hacked and I have root access, so I don't think this is related to that.

I'm sure you have but have you checked all the permissions?
CarNotifier asks only permissions to Microphone and Phone, both are granted.
Wondering now whether it has something to do with the new Android Auto v3.8.584554 where some on Reddit claim, that notification is broken
Cheers
Tom
Edit: Maybe the the new AA version interferes with CarNotifier, because AA can show now also message preview
More edit: My friend tested on the Samsung S7 (I have a OnePlus 3T). Also on his mobile nothing happens with Line.
Can't read out and nothing happens in AA when click on it
Is there an app for Speed cams like in your obd2aa app, to have only the speed cam notification?

I am running the new aa and it is working. Get Emil a bug report right after it happens.
The only thing you can do at this time is swip away the notifications. Clicking them will not do anything.
Thanks
After more testing, I do believe the culprit is Line. Gmail works as expected, Facebook also (just for test).
However, Line refuses, which is actually the reason to install the program in the first place.
Probably one of the few programs which won't work.
Great program though.

Hi guys.
I'm finally back in the UK and in front of my PC, I've also managed to tied up quiet a few of my loose ends and I have no big project starting this year. I will dedicated the last 2 weeks of this years to the following:
1) Looking into fixing some of the FC for obd2aa, also try to find a solution for non-standard PIDs
2) Get AA GateWay to Beta/Stable version (most work needs to be done on this app)
3) Fix some issues and FC with HUR (including Waze sound cut off).
4) Get the carNotifier to a stable version.
January and February are again fully booked so I will focus on stability rather then adding new features especially because obd2aa and HUR and fairly mature apps with most of the functions already covered.
For some reason I'm not really getting any notifications from XDA and being a lot on the road I don't visit the site too often lately, therefore I will kindly ask you if you need support, please email me directly to [email protected].
