[Q] Google maps compass not working & mic quality bad during calls [not over wifi]

[Q] Google maps compass not working & mic quality bad during calls [not over wifi]
Hi,
I am running on ICS 4.0.3 milestone build by AOKP for cappy, Kernel by glitch v14 b5, but the compass which is used in google maps is not working, i'm just getting a blue dot (something like what you get in apple phones)
I've tried different ROMS but there isn't any change. Although the GPS is accurate, the compass feature exactly pointed out to which direction the phone pointed out which helped in find locations while travelling, now without this feature it kinda feels lame using google maps..
Anybody got a solution to this problem and how?
another problem that was seen was the while calling or receiving calls the person at the other end of the line was not able to hear my voice clearly and when I checked the voice was muffled, I installed vodoo sound from google play and changed the mic sensitivity, its better but still not crisp as before.
Funny thing is that the mic seems to be working fine with google talk and skype when I use them over wifi!!!
Anybody else facing the same issue and found solutions?

For your sound quality issue, it definitely sounds like you need to flash a different modem. Make sure you are using a i9000 based modem

Solved

Hey thanks, did that after much fuss.. did a clean install, but this time used the devil kernel instead of glitch, the one that was for cappy and not just i9000. Everything's working perfectly fine now!
For the compass Issue, well i got it solved by removing the maps apk and installing an older version, somewhere around 5.8 i think, rebooted opened application and it updated it automatically via the play store and is working fine.
Otherwise another option is doing a clean install ! with the right kernel.

NFC issue

Hi all,
I'm having problems with NFC in my HTC One and perhaps you can help me in order to solve them.
I mean, I bought NFC tags (Myfare Classic 1K), and initially I worked with them very well using NFC Task Launcher and Tasker. My issue is that I can read these tags sometimes... but sometimes no. It's frustating. Of course I have activated NFC option in my mobile and I put it close to the NFC tag using the area of the rear camera (where is located the antenna).
I try to connect with my new bluetooh headphones by NFC (Sony MDR-1RBT) and sometimes connect... sometimes no.
My HTC One is not rooted and bought free.
Any idea? Help please.
Thanks a lot!!

You probably have the same issue as I do. We've got faulty NFC chips. I'm sending mine in for warranty soon

I looked for information about NFC problems with HTC One but I didn't found nothing. Bad NFC Chips? Oh my God! Is this usual and reported?
I thought that perhaps it would be something related to software (i.e. some process running in background)... but if we are talking about a hardware issue I'm going to worry a lot.
Could we expect news with new release of android? What do you think?
Thaks a lot for your answer!
Best regards

Did you unlock your screen before using the tag? U must unlock first or the tag wont work

Yes, I try it after unlocked screen. I am not able to say when NFC fails or woks, but I try to read tags with unlocked screen.
Thanks

For me, mine I think is a little loose. I cna read NFC tags if I put it near my camera and press it really hard against the phone. That seems to push the NFC chip back into place and I hear the "Boop" when it detects the chip. A fully working will beep instantly upon contact.

Obviously that would mean a hardware issue. In my case, doing always the same I get different results. I don't press the tag against the phone, and trying with the same tag I don't get the same result (sometimes reads the tag and sometimes not). It's crazy.

I haven't been able to get nfc to work either. I don't have any proper tags but I tried my MasterCard paypass that worked fine in the past. Can somebody with working NFC try to scan their MasterCard with paypass and let me know if it works?

[Q] Severe phone calls problem

Hey there,
I know it has been discussed partly, but with I think different aspects and details than I have. To cut it short: in about 50% of my phone calls, be it with good or bad reception, people cannot hear me speak on the phone.
The fun thing is, this cannot be connected to the internal microphone since I have it both on the normal mic as well as my bluetooth headset. No matter whether I call them or they call me. Sometimes (!) it helps to mute and re-enable the microphone on-screen, but this is not always effective. I thought this may be related to a bad combination of firmware and radio, but I recently switched to InsertCoin GE und updated both FW and radio, to no avail as regards to that matter. Furthermore, sometimes phonecalls just drop in the middle of a conversation, with no change in signal quality as far as I recognize.
Does this sound like some software thingy (and one might have a solution) or would you believe this is hardware related?
All the best in advance

Nobody having an idea?

Hi can you tell us what exact combination of Firmware ROM Kernel etc you are using currently?

Hey there,
of course, I picked InsertCoin GoogleEdition with the corresponding 3.06.1700.10 firmware that's offered as a complementary download for the ROM. No hands on the kernel, left the one coming with the ROM. Does that help ?

can you do a nandroid backup and try with another ROM? You could also ask in the thread of the ROM if someone got a similar problem.
I would also downgrade the firmware to the latest for HTC One (non GE). this should not be the problem but just to be sure

Yeah, I think I can. But I came from a 4.2.2 ROM with the latest radio, TrickDroid 8.0 and I had the very same problems. Does it more sound like a hardware than a software issue?

if it happens with other ROMs too it is most propably a hardware issue

[Q] CM11 GPS issue with Glonass

My phone is on unofficial CM11 developed by @laufersteppenwolf.
The GPS is working but just couldn't lock any Glonass satellite. I have tried almost all gps.conf in XDA that claim to fix GPS with no lock.
In particular, I tried the patch from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455885.
Still, my phone doesn't capture any Glonass satellite.
The hardware side should be fine as it can lock normal U.S. GPS satellites.
But without the help of Glonass, the locking takes much longer time.
Anyone shares the same symptom? Could it a bug in the existing CM11 build?

Tested topNTP?
This app solved my problem with gps in customROMs.
Maybe can help in your case. :fingers-crossed:
Best Regards.

Thanks but I've tried topNTP already.
It seems that the phone has never attempted to download any XTRA file no matter what gps.conf is in place.
It seems your phone is working as it is supposed to be. May I know which ROM you're on?

Good luck mate.

New Sensor Firmware

Any idea what sensors it is for?

The "out of box" update?
IR.

I got this update this morning. Since it isn't an update to the OS. I believe they are just fixing bugs they noticed with the Sensors (IR, prox, gyro, voice, etc)
