Having a small issue with call quality, had it on every version of OOS yet. People I call or who call me complain that either a) my voice quality is not great, or b) they can hear an echo of themselves for the first 30-60 seconds or so, then it goes away. This is on AT&T in the US. Anyone else seeing anything like this, or is it likely a hardware problem I should contact OP about?
It seems to be pretty common. There is a file called Echofix.zip that fixes it but I don't know if it works on OOS. I only used it on RR rom.

Again I don't know if this will work for a stock rom. If you try it report back.

did you try to flash the zip file on stock ROM? is it working?
Honestly don't remember. I ended up sending it back to OP, they sent it back saying they couldn't reproduce the issue. A month later I sent it back again, because it was really unusable for me. No one could hear me on most calls. Voip worked fine. They still couldn't reproduce it, but refunded the cost of the phone to me. Bought a Samsung s8+ a few months later.

I'm running TD 9.1, and prior was on 8.0. Tried both stock kernel, and a few other ones with no luck. At first when the sounds starts playing, the left speaker works fine, then with in a sec, it will fad to almost nothing. Is this something someone else has encountered? For all I know it has been like this since day one.. But I don't believe so.
Edit: I have also tried clean installs. i have not tried other roms yet.
Double edit: My xda search is not working, but google did for me. Found one other person having somewhat the same issue, but it was never answered. I hate to bump an old tread like that, after i have posted mine already.

I have the exact same issue. Tried million ROMs, sound patches and tricks but nothing change. The easiest way to see the difference between the two speakers is to run the Audio Test using HTC Function Test by dialing *#*#3424#*#*
Finally, I managed to get S-Off and now I'm going to get back to 100% stock flashing RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.exe, I'll do the test again and update the post.
EDIT: I'm full stock and it didn't fix it I guess I have to send it back...
BTW, what did you do? Did you fixed yours?
Running Sinless 5.1.5 now with elemental, everything works 100%. I guess for some reason my phone just didn't like TD, we all know they have a personality of there own..
Sorry for the long wait before response, I don't pay attention very well.
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

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 :/ )
When I call someone on 7.1.1 (Lineage), when they talk they can hear themselves as they talk like a perfect echo. I also noticed that when I make a call, the ringer sound has a bunch of static and almost sounds like it's dropping out until the person answers. There was a patch on January 23rd meant to fix the big "speakerphone echo" bug but I keep reading stuff that makes it sound like this bug was related to actually using the phone in speaker mode during a call, so you don't have to hold it to your ear. The issue I'm having happens during a normal call.
I'm on the latest official Lineage nightly and this issue still exists, even though it was supposedly fixed (unless I'm understanding what people are talking about wrong). It's incredibly annoying and I've even confirmed that the lines in "mixer_paths.xml" that needed to added were there and they are. Does anyone else have this issue or know a work around?

I'm not on lineage, I'm on stock lite and I've noticed the same thing after flashing coolexe's pixel mod after updating the ROM, which I usually do all in one session. What I've found is that something is leaving a file called ftm.mixer_paths.default.xml in system/etc. It has the right run permissions so I think it's defaulting to that regardless of what mixer_path file I've replaced. If I delete that default file, everything sounds/works like it should.

Only other thing I can suggest is to grab an older ROM.zip, extract the mixer_paths.XML, and copy that into system/etc. Set permissions to 0644, reboot and check it.
Even if you can get a cm 14.1 ROM zip.from December, that should work.

Did this fix work?
Hey everyone,
I have had multiple updates for Lineage on my Mix and still the issue remains. As mentioned in the title, the camera does not record video. It takes pictures just fine and when attempting to record video it looks to be recording, but when played back it's just the first frame and audio. I have tried multiple camera applications and none of them have helped.
It almost feels like an issue not with lineage itself, but the kernel on my device perhaps? I should mention this too, when i'm recording video through facebook messenger it works just fine, but only then. I can watch videos people sent to me just fine as well, so i don't believe playback is the issue.
Is anyone else having this issue with lineageOS on their Mix?
If anyone knows a way to fix this please tell me, its been bothering me forever. Thanks!

If you go to RR thread it's on the first page
Several months ago, I started experiencing an annoying issue on my Nexus 6 running LOS 14.1 where the silent mode setting would get disabled on its own even when the "Until you turn this off" option was chosen. I had posted on the LOS subreddit as well as here on XDA about it multiple times and someone had stated that the maintainer for shamu was likely ignoring it because they were busy working on 15.1. So naturally, I was disappointed to find out after upgrading to the first LOS 15.1 release that the issue still persists.
What do I do? My phone's been doing this since January and I tried everything I could think of to fix it, including wiping the phone and reinstalling everything and even that did not work.
Here are some important things to note about my installation:
Running LOS 15.1 (upgraded from LOS 14.1)
Using the stock Open GApps package
Rooted with Magisk 16.0 (latest version at the time of this post)
(I'm going to tag @Elektroschmock since as far as I am aware, he's the person we have to thank for keeping our shamus alive and well and would therefore be most likely to able to help me out.)
I wasn't ignoring it, I just wasn't able to reproduce it.
If this really is a common problem then it is not specific to Nexus 6.

Yes I have, and I am afraid that I did not find anything useful there. Even though you could not reproduce the issue, did the catlog that I posted on the LOS Jira help? (https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-1373)
Even though that post applies to LOS 14.1, the issue is occurring in the same way in LOS 15.1.
It's also worth noting that I tried installing a fresh copy of LOS 14.1 to fix it, but when I upgraded to 15.1, I did not do a fresh install. Do you think it would be worth the effort to try it?

I had some time last night, so without waiting for a reply, I decided to do a fresh install and I am so glad I did. So far, silent mode has not disabled itself, and I am hoping this stays that way. Additionally, my phone's performance in general seems a lot better. I am not sure if it's in my head or not, but either way, I am satisfied. If the issue pops up again, I'll be sure to let you know so that we can keep looking for alternative solutions.

Last night I had some time, so I decided to do a full wipe and reinstall without waiting for a response. I am so glad I did. The issue appears to finally be resolved, as it has not happened yet, and on top of that, my phone feels like it's running faster. I am not sure if it actually is or if it's just a placebo, but either way, I am satisfied.
If the issue does end up returning, I will let you know so that we may continue looking for a way to stop it from happening.
