Weird Bugs

Ive installed the latest cyanogen mod rom and i have been using it for a while. There are a few bugs i have noticed through my use of the phone and they are kinda getting annoying.
First of all i have noticed randomly while i am listening to music the music app that came with cyanogen will freeze up and then it will start again but after it does that there is no sound. And when i force close the application, i use the controls on the side of the phone to change the volume and it will only change the media volume not the ringer volume. to fix this when it happens i have been having to restart the phone and go on from there.
Another bug i have been noticing is when i turn the phone to vibrate mode using the controls on the left of the phone when i recieve a text i do not get a notification. I would excpect that it would vibrate as well.
Another one is that when i am listening to music and i recieve a text it will turn off the sound similar to the first bug i talked about. It says it is still playing but there is no sound coming from it. To fix it i have been having to restart the phone.
To listen to my music with my earphones i have an adapter and some times when i am using that the phone will go into a reboot loop until i take out the adapter and then once the phone is back up plug the adapter back in.
These are all quite annoying and i would like to see if you guys have any input on the matter. Thank you

I don't think that any of these are platform bugs, but rather are cyanogen bugs. I suggest you post bug reports to cyanogen's bug tracker.

Well i thought about that as well but i looked at the rules for the bug tracker and i am currently in the process of making more accurate bug reports for the bug tracker. I came here to see if i could get any quick fixes or to ask if these are common things or i may just have to format my phone and reinstall cyanogen. So yeah i hope i can get some feedback from other users. I may just have to format as i said but i hope that there could be something else i could do. dont want to just go to all that trouble to not get it fixed.
edit: I looked further into the bug tracker for cyanogen and i dont have the required materials to make a report as i dont have a log of the issue. its just something that tends to happen.

Its happening alot today and well yeah its getting really bad, i dont think there is anything wrong with my phone. So i think i am just going to format and reinstall a new rom. idk if i will stay cyanogen or not. anyone have any recomendations for the rom i should install?

Super D is pretty awesome. It's an improvement on the Cyan roms. So you get Cyan plus some extras.

Could i get a link to the correct version i should use?

Yep here is the link for Super D

thank you installed it and i am no longer having any issues. Wonderful

No Headphone Functionality in CM11 Official?

Hi all, I'm new. Hopefully this is an okay place to ask this. I can't comment in the nightly thread just yet. But this is the build from 9.26. The only things I've done, I believe, are root, unlock, install clockworkmod recovery, and this nightly cm11 build.
I'm quite happy with it, as this is my first time rooting and using a custom rom, etc. Great performance in general, and my 3G stays connected so much better than with the stock rom, for whatever reason.
But I've realized that plugging in headphones does essentially nothing. It plays music through the speakers even with headphones in. This is true with Pandora, the built in music app, and "Shuttle". Though, with the latter, it seems to recognize the headphones enough to display an icon. But still no sound through them.
Is there a setting that can be changed, or has someone else noticed it from this build?
Thanks!

[CM12.1] Google Search Voice randomly launched when headset plugged in

Hi there !
I have created this topic because the problem mentioned in the title is getting me mad !
I am under CM12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1) 21-09-2015 nightly build, and I always experimented this problem : when I plug in my headset (JVC), Google Voice Search keeps randomly popping up, at any screen. Everytime. Forever. Of course, music stop playing.
I thought throwing a brick on my phone would make it work again, but no. Just kidding
It is not the headset's fault, because I have tried it on other phone under CM12.1, and it was OK.
The only "workaround" I found is to deactivate the Google app, and to remove the search bar of the main screens. But it sometime happens despite that, and I would like to use this functionality.
Seems that the phone keeps thinking that I push a button on my headset, but it does not have any !
What do you guys think ?
Other problem certainly unrelated :
- On this build and later, the back (only !) camera is really, like really, laggy, quite unusable, both in photo and video. Happens in all apps handling camera : CM camera app, snapchat, etc.
I precise all of these problems do not occur under stock Sony ROM, and that all the solutions I found online were not helpful.

Since you did a dirty flash (OTA update), the first thing I would do is back up everything you care about, wipe, and clean flash the firmware. This will probably fix the camera issue.
It may also fix the headset issue, but I think it may be related to the physical headphone jack. You tried the same headset on a different phone (was it also running CM12.1?) and didn't repro the issue, so that just leaves your specific. This doesn't sound like a software issue, but since you should wipe to fix the camera issue, maybe you'll get lucky.

Thanks for your answer xasbo.
Sorry for the latence of my answer, I switched back to CM11, because all is working perfectly in this ROM (latest SNAPSHOT).
I did not make a dirty flash of CM12.1, it was a perfectly clean install, but the problems were always there. Apparently it seems to be related to CM12.1, because the stock Lollipop ROM for Xperia Z1 doesn't have those issues : only with CM12.1 (and CM12 as well).
I do not understand why this is happening, but it is making the phone unusable for music, camera, and even 9gag (lol).
I was not able to test my headset on another CM12.1 ROM because none of my related or friends have a custom ROM (arghh), I only managed to test it on other android phones under Lollipop, but only stock ROMs (Samsung S4, and Wiko Idontrememberthemodel).
Is there somebody who has the same issues with CM12.1 ?

I've read some other stuff since related to CM12 on these phones. Look for a CM thread in either General or Q&A. There is talk of both camera lag and a "headphone fix". Maybe these are what you need.

Tempting Android N AOSP

Very tempted to update to Android N (Team FXP AOSP)
But I value my camera quality (Using DRM fix kernel, works great)
Knowing that the Xperia is never going to get android N, due to google removing the Z3's kernel from their source, would it be worth updating to AOSP, basically removing all the features that are so good?

You answered your own question, stick to stock if you want a camera that works 100% well. AOSP camera has never been good for any phone and the camera on Nougat barely works anyway.
Next best thing is Concept ROM, which still has a decent camera

I'm tempted to try Nougat AOSP. I don't mind losing the camera on Z3c that much since I prefer my camera on my G4. But I don't know how to install it. Is there a guide? That's up? Last time I checked Sony's site the guide was down.
Two qustions, how bad does the camera become, is it still usable for simple random snaps to send to friends on IMs?
What is DRM fix kernel?
TIA

Lol nougat barely works. I've been running it for days now. My opinion is nougat is excellent on z3c. I can upload a flash able zip with full Google apps if people are interested

That does sound good. Get 6-8h SOT with SLiMM ROM. Do you know how much you get on this one?
Also could you do me a favour and check which Android Security Patch it got? It would be awesome if PA is up to date with that.
TIA

Please could provide a link to the Rom Nougat 7.0

Can you please share the gapps, or tell me which ones you are using? I got cm gapps or open gapps from cm website (for 7.0) and my google play services keep crashing.
Thanks,

Is where I am posting all the builds I put together. So be warned that if it doesn't boot it was just a test version. AFAIK the latest ROM should boot fine without issue. GApps are already installed on all the flashable zip versions in that location

Hey thanks. Quick question, you said you have been running nougat on your device and everything (but the camera) seems to be working. I just installed it last night (and my gapps are working as well now) and I already noticed a couple of bugs. First and most important, i can't hear the person on the other end of the line. It appears that my earpiece is not working. The person on the other end can hear me, but I can't hear that person. Second and minor issue, once i plug in my z3c to charge, the battery icon top right shows the charging sign as it should. However when i unplug, that charging sign doesn't go away. So far i have noticed these bugs, can you confirm if you are not facing these bugs (so I know its my device that is messed up).
Thanks,

Hi!
I'm using the latest AOSP for our devices, and facing thiese bugs too. ( 20160912 ). Sometimes I've got calling bug when I can't hear the other person on the line, but he can hear me. Just a restart solves it, but I've got thiese problem nearly evry tenth call time... And one more thing, while i'm on calling and my phone set to minimum volumes, everyone else could to hear my phones speak... or I can say it, what you're talking about. Like when i set the speak to a loudspeaker, as though it were the whole conversation. The speakers are very loud on minimum volume, and not too much louder on maximum settings. ( but, i think they are a known bug ).
Second, the cahrging icon. Yes I experienced it too, when you disconnect the charger from the phone, the icon remain the same, like when the charger plugged in.. And I think, something gping on the background, because my battery goes down nearly 30 percent by a night ( 8h ).
About the rom speed. I think, it runs very smooth / fine until more than five software parallel, ROM while fast. If more than five program run in the background, ROM start to tear, slow down. If you delete them from the memory, the system will be fast again.
I tried to take a logcat with "aLogcat" from playstore, but it's not working. I remember it from my previously phone age, i must convert it to system app... But now, I can't do this, because i did it with Titanium Backup, and now they not support andoid N..
Anyway, I think its will be a very good AOSP rom... ( without camera :/ )

Took Nexus 6 out of drawer, now no sound from speaker, earphones work fine

Hi,
I just took my old Nexus six out of the drawer thinking I would start using it again but sadly the dreaded speaker death has occurred. Is there a series of steps I should take to try to fix it? Earphones work fine and Bluetooth works fine but nothing comes out of the top speaker at all even with the volume set to high. I'm on android version 7.11, pure Nexus v. 7.1.1.20170215-OFFICIAL, rooted, with the kernel Franco 3.10.40.
What should I try first, hardware fixes or software? It used to work, now is dead.

Roll back to stock first to verify whether this is a hardware or software issue. If it's software, install a ROM more current than Pure Nexus. Otherwise you'll have to hunt for a new speaker.

I will install stock first. Where would I find a new speaker if that's what it needs?
Update: rolled back to stock and sound works fine now. You are brilliant! Now have to decide what ROM to use. Any recommendations?

You first have to decide if you want VoLTE or wifi-calling. For that you need a Oreo rom, and the only one I know that is still updated is LineageOS 15.1.
Otherwise, you can take your pick from the Pie roms. I believe that they all work fine on the N6, it's more a question of which extra features you prefer.

Is there any great advantage to upgrading from stock? Now that I've got the phone working pretty well I'm a little hesitant to start messing around with lineage or one of the pie ROMs. Will the phone run faster and have less lag and have better camera options if I upgrade the ROM?
Thanks again for helping me get my phone working again.

The new roms have many more features, both from the newer Android, and from the efforts of the rom devs.
Of course, you may not need or even like the new features. Myself, I hate the new auto-brightness in Pie.
There are also some speed optimizations, but IMO they don't make a world of difference.
I believe that the camera driver is closed source, and therefore unchanged from stock. The camera app can however provide different amounts of options on top of the driver (Snap Camera in lineage has a lot of options) - but you should be able to get that by installing other camera apps on stock as well.
But most of all, I like to have the newest security fixes.

The bootloader has an option called: "factory mode" that has an app called: "CQATest"
After loading it choose "CQA Menu Mode"
Audio --> Loudspeaker
This will play an audio test file at full volume until you press the vol down or back button.
This is a useful application for general hardware testing too.
