First i want to thank hashcode and everyone who has helped him for the Great ICS build =] I realized that most the posts in the ICS development thread were becoming troubleshooting to basic problems [some by me ], so i decided to make this thread to help others.
Before you post with a problem make sure you have wiped /data/cache/dalvik and done a full factory reset. Also tried installing again. Please also state if you restored your google settings. This will help speed up the process in helping you.
Below are a list of fixes for bugs that have yet to fixed in an updated release, if there are more fixes please tell me and ill add them here. Have fun ;]
Input Selection Keyboard Fix by Androidsims
Go to /system/app and delete OpenWnn.apk and PinyinIME.apk and the chinese and japanese input methods will be gone. Along with the icon in the top. If you have another keyboard installed [such as swype] the icon will still show.
Apps are a bit laggy
use Rom Toolbox to set your VM heap size to 88m. I cant remember where but it was said that this is best to achieve a smoother experience with ICS.
Watch Videos on ICS
use the latest vlc for android. Have to click on videos via root explorer or another file manager app. Opening app directly just causes a force close.

I also ran into my audio disappearing when a call was connected. I went back into safestrap recovery, repeated the wipe data, wipe cache, wipe delvik without having to reinstall ICS and audio was back. Anytime things start getting buggy this is usually my first step before reinstalling.

BT
not sure if it is just me but in alph 1 and 2 i get alot of static when i make or receive any calls thru bluetooth.
i've wiped everything even tried re-installing a couple times and even tried a different bluetooth headset. no matter what i wipe/reset/re-install it all ends up the same result. with static on all calls both ways. i hear static and so does the caller.

I combed the ics forum and found issues similar to this but they were solved with methods mentioned above. The fact that you tried all this already makes me feel the problem is unique to u. Try booting into nonsafe and see if you have the issue then. Sorry for the late reply btw

Better that no reply thanx for the help. But I have installed multiple different roms so far and they all work fine, and last time I was in non-safe mode it worked fine but im not sure if at the time ics was installed on my safe system(not sure if that matters or if that is what you were implying or not). So on BT you can make calls and receive calls with no issues? Mine is kinda weird, when I make a call the static is speratic, when I dial out every time it rings there is static and then I can hear the ring (constantly), when in a conversion every couple of words of the caller is static as well.

Not me. If you scan drom page and past in the ics thread someone was talkin about that issue. I can't remember the exact page and I'm on my phone but look in those sections. There issue was different however but I believe it was still solved with a wipe. I think they wiped the delvik too. But I've read all the posts in the that thread though, I don't think there was anything about static. I reccommend you go ask in there because hash can probably help best.

My biggest complaint (maybe user error):
Pandora isn't playing audio over my car speakers via Microsoft SYNC. I get successful connection with my car, but I just can't get it to play through the speakers.
Haven't had a chance to test out other media apps.
Does it use cable, 3g, or bluetooth to hook up to the speakers? and to the person before, i havent seen a solution at all with the bluetooth, i think it something Hash will have to fix
Sorry forgot to specify. This is via Bluetooth.
I haven't tried USB or 3.5mm connections yet. I don't keep them in the car since I haven't needed them before.
Edit: I should also mention that audio does play through the phone's speaker. So even though it's connected to BT I'm still only getting sound from the phone's speaker.
Ah thats what i was thinking. I think these bluetooth issues need to be brought to Hash attention as its more than one person experiencing problems with it. And its seems to be solely with bluetooth. You shuld report a bug with it to him in his tracker here
http://www.hash-of-codes.com/tracker
As for help i can tell you to make sure you also wipe your dalvik. I have forgot to mention that to people. Instructions from hash ;] Other than that because im no hashcode i really cant code anything to fix the bluetooth. Report it thought and hash might be able to fix it in Alpha 3
Thanks. Yeah I've been looking for a place to provide feedback and just ended up here.
How do I wipe dalvik? I've seen that mentioned every where along with cache data, but I got list on dalvik.
Boot into safestrap, go down to advanced and click that, and then you should see it. its the second or third option i believe
I must have looked over it. Thanks, I'll check it out.
On another note, 3.5mm plug in works fine in the car. Also, I connected via Bluetooth again and tested out calling. Hands free calling seems to work fine with SYNC.
If hands free calling is working clear then it might be an app error. Is this error with your nonsafe rom? If not then I'm thinking their are still some compatibility issues between apps. I'm going to email both app developers and see if they still have bugs with ics or know anything.
Edit: I reread the thread again. Also look into your settings. The fact that the phone isn't even trying to send the audio over bluetooth is sounding like it doesn't know it has to. Make sure all the settings for both apps are correct and that this function is availible for this. I'm going to do a little research before I email the devs for help and ill tell you what I find
I still have safe boot enabled.
I forgot I was going to try out Amazon Cloud Player. I'll test that tonight yet. I also have to test Pandora since wiping dalvik. Not sure how much of a difference it would make.
I did double check the settings both times I've tried it. I don't think I've looked over anything. So maybe there are compatibility issues with the Pandora app. Cloud Player may be a good test to that.
Amazon Cloud Player does the same.
Turns out SYNC doesn't see my contacts. I have to use the phone to pick a contact but the dial tone plays over the car speakers. I'm thinking it is a Bluetooth issue related to this alpha #2 build.
I don't know if it is the app or another problem but when I make voice calls, people on the other end of the phone can here their own voice just after speaking. So when I talk back/reply they hear their own voice along with what I am saying. It has become almost impossible to talk to anyone because people just hear their own voice on top of what I am saying.
I clean installed the official stock firmware and the problem still exists.
Can you please suggest me how I can solve this problem? :crying:
@pleomaxell
To be frank , I've searched for the explanation of the settings all over the web, but couldnt find any.
Moreover, I got no such problems. All my audios and calls seem to be louder then before. I pretty much use the 'quality settings', and sometimes use the 'custom' one.
Coming to your query, have you tried uninstalling then making a call.?
Just to see if no such issue arises

If all fails, maybe you could try a factory reset. Provided you backed everything up using the titanium backup app
I've got a Tmobile Note 4 running Lollipop (updated OTA yesterday). I use a Samsung Wireless Dongle and Screen Mirroring to watch some shows. I noticed yesterday that video playback has become extremely choppy since the Lollipop update. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I double checked my network settings and everything is working smoothly. Video playback on the Note 4 itself is just fine. Just choppy on my TV screen when Screen Mirroring through the Wireless Dongle. Any ideas about how to address this would be much appreciated. I am rooted, running stock TouchWiz Lollipop ROM, if that matters.
Try without the dongle? It does work wireless if you have a smart tv
I have the dongle because I don't have a Wi-Fi Direct/Screen Mirroring capable television. I did dig around in Application Manager and found Wi-Fi Direct Share, and I've cleared the cache and data for it. I'll try it out this evening to see if that will get it working smoothly again.
Should note that on KitKat, the Dongle worked just fine. It is a Samsung brand wireless dongle.
There is no data nor cache to clear on Screen Mirroring app itself nor on the Wi-Fi Direct app. So crossing my fingers this Wi-Fi Direct Share has something to do with it.
I have the same samsung wireless dongle but since I updated to 5.0 i havent had the chance to stream, ill give input in a few when i get home. Also i had a lot of freezing while watching movies on 4.4 not sure if you ever experienced that, it was very annoying. Also I'm stock.
Still not resolved
Wireless dongle playback is still choppy as described in OP. Interested to here from others. A better description might by jerky... Audio is just fine. Might dig around in the build.prop file later. Otherwise, any feedback from others experiencing this issue or others who might have an idea for troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.
Try booting up in recovery and wiping cashe partition that seems to fix a lot of strange problems for me.
No such luck, mate. Thanks for the suggestion, though. It's bareable as is right now, but it does bug the **** out of me. Haha. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there is experiencing this. I'm thinking of borrowing a Chromecast off someone to see if it has the same issue. I mean, the video in every app is smooth as butter on my phone screen, but the TV is jerky ever so slightly via the Samsung Dongle. I know it's not just me because my wife who typically cares less about tech noticed it.
Leave it to good ol Sammy. Sort of like that BS way they built screen mirroring to break on rooted devices using third party (read:non Samsung dongle) back on the Note 3. Anyone have an idea of something I could try to edit in the build.prop file? Any other ideas? I found an app on the Play Store that's meant to fix Screen Mirroring issues after an update, but when loaded it doesn't give me the option to run it, apparently it thinks I am already patched. Oh. And Samsung was the manufacturer of that app, go figure. So apparently this has happened in in the past?
If all else fails, I may just try a fresh install. I'm trying to wait for the latest version of TWRP because I heard some folks have had no luck flashing ROMs through TWRP after upgrading to Lollipop OTA and then rooting (which is what I did; I never rooted on KitKat because I wanted to keep my 1 yr Sammy Warranty intact, just in case). I know tripping Knox apparently doesn't affect the Tmobile insurance, but I've read varying stories on whether it affects your Sammy factory warranty.
Well. I'm off off to play some AC Unity on the PS4. I'll check back later. Happy trails
I am experiencing the same issue ever since I updated to lollipop. Video mirroring to my Samsung smart TV very choppy.
Nobody has any possible solutions for this? Please give it a shot if you have any ideas whatsoever. Now we have two confirmed reports.
Quick update. Hard reset and even unroooting the device didn't resolve the issue. Definitely something baked into to the latest TMO stock ROM
I've even had the screen freeze on the chromecast when mirroring but audio still plays
@knarfies I used to get a similar issue with Netflix but Lollipop resolved it. So can you connect with Chrome cast, but it freezes occasionally? How often is it happening? The Samsung Dongle works without freezing audio or video but is jerky enough for me and the wife to notice. Wasn't like that on KitKat.
I'm running stock and im using the samsung dongle and the video actually plays smoother on 5.0, when I was on 4.4 it use to freeze all the time I'm not sure why is not playing gird for you guys, plus whatever I was on 4.4 the video playback in general would freez during playback even when I was not screen mirring.
I am currently rooted with a custom kernel and stock ROM, but even before the mods, it was no longer working correctly. Samsung has an app on the Play Store to patch problems with Screen Mirroring after a software upgrade, but when I downloaded it, it said I was already patched. Even after a hard reset and completely non rooted stock everything it hasn't worked perfectly like it did on KitKat since Lollipop.

Thats strange because its the complete opposite for me.
I bought the Nexus 6 (blue, 64gb) the day one, in November and since that day I noticed random reboots in a particular situation. When I switch to a WiFi network to another it shuts down and so I have to turn it on. When it turns on I have lost all my WiFi networks configurations, so passwords, dhcp settings, etc.
Random reboots rarely happen also in camera/gallery apps.
I tried to send it back to google and I received a new nexus. The first one was produced in June 2014, the new one in December 2014. The issue is still there. [emoji17] I've also tried to update to 5.1 but no resolution.
I have rooted, installed twrp, decrypted both my nexus 6 with toolkit.
How can I solve the problem? I was very happy with this phone.
Try using it completely stock and see what happens. I'd say chances are that if you set both up the same, it's something you're doing and not the hardware on 2 different phones.
But other people have made the same basic mods on their nexus and their phone has not this kind of issue.
Is it every network? Maybe try a stable custom ROM to see if it happens there too. Could be a problem with specific networks or even apps. Troubleshooting is the key. First try full wipe, no restored Apps.
I could be as simple as an app the developer has not updated since gingerbread or something stupid like that.
Is there a way to find the malicious app?
There definitely *was* a bug causing loss of wifi networks, and I think there may also have been a reboot involved there (not sure if we rebooted it manually, or if it just did it on its own as a response to a wpa_supplicant crash...). It was across the board for Android 5.0 though, not limited to Nexus 6. I saw my wife's Nexus 5 do it once. Never actually had it happen on my 6.
I'm not sure if this bug was fixed or not, since it wasn't something we tried to reproduce, and only happened once. The bug is definitely related to wpa_supplicant, since that is the only program that actually interacts with its configuration file (which is where the wifi configurations are actually stored).
As far as galleries go, you're not giving much to guess by. I certainly haven't seen galleries cause reboots like that. Maybe you are using a bad one?
Try this gallery; https://github.com/lbdroid/Android-Binaries/blob/master/Gallery2.apk
That is the actual AOSP gallery, modified to install as a standalone application. The source code is in another repository on my github.
*note: it will not do you any good at all to swap out your phone, since there is no indication that you are experiencing a hardware issue.
But why other people doesn't experience this problem that is related to WiFi? All people use WiFi and every time. Is there a way to fix the WPA_supplicant issue? Maybe a custom ROM?
My first n6 had also an hw issue, I think, because before it rebooted it gave me some little "buzz" from the top speaker.

all people use WiFi is an incorrect statement. you can say most ppl use wifi, but all would never happen. I hate using WiFi and NEVER use it except when its absolutely necessary. ive probably used WiFi 2 times on my n6 since getting my n6 in November, and there's no WiFi issues here.

Yes, start with stock and install a few apps at a time until you get the problem. Given the fact that you have 2 different phones experiencing the same problem, it is much more likely that it is something software related rather than hardware (though I suppose it could be possible if you're really unlucky ).

You said that it happens when you change from one wifi network to another. Most people don't do that. Most people have one wifi network at a time and don't change it.
There is also a huge difference between wifi network configurations... A/B/N/AC, frequency, bandwidth, multiple-bands, encryptions, etc.

I've heard this a bug with Oreo, but I've had this issue since Nougat. Essentially, I've tried connecting several Bluetooth devices to my OnePlus 3T with OOS 5.0.3 rooted w/ Magisk, and while I can get music and notifications to play, I can neither hear nor speak through the phone options using Bluetooth. I've searched for hours on Google as to why this may be happened, and while there are hundreds of reports and instances of this happening, there isn't a single consistent solution.
I've tried messing with the settings, codecs, deleting cache, deleting data from Bluetooth, repairing devices, deactivating Google Now, resetting the phone, you name it.
Is this a problem that is still prevalent with Oreo? This is probably the stupidest unsolvable thing I've ever encountered, and I'm convinced its software related, given that music and all other audio works.
Never had such issue with Nougat or Oreo.
Where did you read about such standard bug at Oreo?

Of those links, only the last one is relevant to the 3T.
What specific Bluetooth devices do you have the problem with?
I've use the phone feature with 3 different headsets, my car head unit, and a BT speaker, all with no issues with calls.
I have a problem with every Bluetooth device that uses phone features. This includes a Gear S3, Car Dongle and ear phones.
I have tried 2 BT SPEAKERS, 2 BT headset,.1 smart band and 1 smartwatch (moto 360).
No issues at all

I must have some kind of app causing the problem. I'm just not even sure which app it could possibly be.

Any Magisk modules being used? I haven't seen this Bluetooth issue specifically (from Magisk modules) but they can sometimes cause random bugs, and it is a good enough place to start as any.
I think the Samsung gear watches in general, do not play well with a lot of non-Sammy phones. At least from other threads I've seen around. But it is suspicious that you are having the issue on multiple Bluetooth devices (although you don't name the other brands). So I think you are on the right track, that it may be an app or something else peculiar to your device setup.
I've had the phone functions work just fine with Motorola, Plantronics, JBL headsets, JBL speaker, Subaru head unit (Kenwood made stereo, from what I understand).

I have the exact same issue. I've tried nougat/oreo.....official OOS....different roms also. Clean flashed the 3T but no luck.
Media audio works perfectly fine. As soon as somebody calls and I answer, the line becomes mute to whatever it is connected to. I've tried both with my car and BT speaker.
I then have to route the call to the ear pierce on the phone to be able to continue with the call.
Everyone I have found with this issue have sent their phones back for repairs.
OnePlus 3Ts seem to face an issue where if you're in a voice call using your SIM card, and also connected to some Bluetooth device at the same time, the WiFi seems to just s**t itself. It can't give more than 0.10 Mbps ever. It left me confused for a long time until I figured it was due to me calling on my Bluetooth headset/speaker. Truly annoying imo.
I finally figured it out. As I stated earlier, I was sure it was software based because music worked just fine, so I was looking for a culprit app that might have been hogging the phone audio/mic. Oddly enough, it was the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app. I went ahead an uninstalled it. That app was not worth being unable to use Bluetooth hands-free in my car.
I take that back. Suddenly, it's not working anymore, so I'm more inclined to believe there's something wrong with the phone speaker/mic suddenly hanging with apps other than the actual phone app. The Visual Voicemail app only exposed that there was an issue with this, but the app itself did not seem to be the problem.
