[FIX] for car dock volume - Nexus One Android Development

I don't know why no one else has done this yet since it's a problem that affects every nexus one music lover that has a car dock. This file will fix it so that the volume level remains at max when the phone is inserted into the car dock.
I commented out the code that Google added in Froyo that cuts the volume level by -10dB when the headphone output is used at the same time as bluetooth (car dock).
This library was compiled using the Cyanogen 6.0 source, so I can't guarantee that it will work with any of the nightly releases of CM6. I have only tested it with the finial release of CM 6.0.
Requirements:
* Android SDK
* Nexus One
1. Download the libaudiopolicy.so file from http://www.mediafire.com/?nocgpiypp10jcpt and place it in the <path to sdk>/tools/ folder.
2. Open a comand prompt/console and navigate to the <path to sdk>/tools/ folder.
3. Type in the following:
adb push libaudiopolicy.so /sdcard/libaudiopolicy-new.so (copy fixed library to sdcard)
adb shell (login to the shell of your phone)
su (enable super user mode)
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (Remount /system to allow writing)
cp /system/lib/libaudiopolicy.so /sdcard/libaudiopolicy-bak.so (backup old library file)
cp /sdcard/libaudiopolicy-new.so /system/lib/libaudiopolicy.so (replace current library with fix one)
chmod 644 /system/lib/libaudiopolicy.so (set the correct permissions on the new file)
exit (exit superuser mode)
exit (exit shell)
4. Restart the phone.
Recovery:
If for some reason your phone doesn't make it past the first animated X graphic, don't worry it's not bricked. You need to restore back to using the old library by doing the following. I'm going by memory on this so I might be a little off on the details.
1. Pull the battery to power off the phone.
2. Boot into recovery. (If I remember right, hold the trackball and press power.)
3. Enter the shell (it's somewhere in the menu)
4. Type in the following:
mount -o rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount /sdcard
cp /sdcard/libaudiopolicy-bak.so /system/lib/libaudiopolicy.so
chmod 644 /system/lib/libaudiopolicy.so
exit
5 . Reboot the phone.
For those of you wonder what I did, here is a rough description:
1. I grabbed the source for Cyanogenmod 6.0.
2. Commented out lines in hardware/msm7k/libaudio-qsd8k/AudioPolicyManager.cpp.
3. Compiled the module by doing a "make modules libaudiopolicy".
New version compiled from the Nov 23rd source. Should work on CM 6 nightlies from Nov 13th forward.
http://www.mediafire.com/?cfht17py4hvat42

is it always going to be at max or can we adjust it?

Instead of commenting out the lines, would it work if you simply changed "-10dB" to "-0dB"?
Going to look for replies of people trying this. I haven't rooted yet, but if this works, I will.

I haven't had time to look too far into it, but it looks like the volume gets reset to max and it's reduced under certain conditions. All I did was remove the -10dB cut for the specific condition that happens when playing music from the headphone output in the car dock.
There must be a good reason why Google is overriding the existing media volume level. Changing it so that the volume controls function would probably break bluetooth headset compatibility. I was thinking about adding a drop down list in the car dock settings to allow different volume reductions, but that requires modifying a lot of files which would break compatibility with CM6 and it's spawn. Then I would have to start rolling my own rom. Right now I'm focused on leaving town and going where there is no cel reception. I posted this to help those that had switched back to 2.1 just to use the car dock with their car audio.

The actually value used is 0.316 for -10db. In a previous version of the file they were using a value of 0.400 for -8db. I didn't have time to figure out what scale these values relate to in order to find a 0dB.

I've actually bought the BluBridge just so I can use the Car Dock with audio. Going back to 2.1 is unacceptable for me.
What do you mean by breaking volume control functions? The volume controls on my Car Dock have never worked for me. What situation are they supposed to work?

Since i only keep my volume at max when playing through the car dock, I never bothered trying to use my car dock volume controls with 2.1. I think using software to change the media volume still worked in 2.1, but that changed with 2.2. I suspect google had planned on having working car dock volume buttons (why else would you add them), but ran into issues keeping things compatible with other car docks, bt car stereos, and bt headsets.

Fantastic.
I've loaded on a Stock FRF91 and reboot was successful. When I get off of work at 5PM, i'll be able to test the functionality.

How did you modify system files w/o root?
I just rooted my phone and flashed CM6RC2 and made it to Home. Going to test after work ends as well.

Seems to work fine on my way home from work. Thanks man.

Works fine on the Evo running Fresh Rom 3.3.0.1 as well just btw thanks!

Finally someone fixed this! Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. Maybe now I wont have to pit a piece of paper on the second pin so it wont activate carmode. Is there a flashable version on the roadmap? Hate to redo all that abd everytime I update.

Just curious... Anyone know if this has been rolled into the CM6 nightlies already? If not, I wanna go ahead and use this since I use my car dock a lot, but if it's already in the latest CM6 nightlies, I don't wanna potentially overwrite newer code from TeamDouche

What do ya know, the Evo uses the same Qualcomm msm7k chip. This fix could also work for any other phones using that chip.
I just checked and it looks like there were changes committed for AudioPolicyManager.cpp on Aug 5 and 16th, so I will need to look at compiling a new version for those of you on nighties.
github.com/CyanogenMod/android_hardware_msm7k/commits/froyo/libaudio-qsd8k/AudioPolicyManager.cpp
I won't have time to work on this in the next few days, but some time next week I will be able to. At the same time I'll look at getting this added to CM.

How about 1.0?
The attenuation is 20*log(1/scaling) dB. So e.g. scaling==0.400 gives 20*log(2.5), which is approx 8 dB. scaling==1.0 gives 20*log(1) == 0 db attenuation.
Why they're attenuating the volume in this case, I don't know, since I haven't looked into it in any detail. With A2DP you'll usually want to send it the audio data at 0 dB and let the accessory handle the volume control itself. Though when audio effects enter the picture (equalizers, for example) you're pretty much forced to leave a few dB of headroom for the effects.

Yeah... I know it doesn't fix all of that but the new car home app is definitely an improvement over the stock one. You can finally add shortcuts to third party apps (and I suppose you could remove the Exit button if you really wanted to ) as well as set the car home to launch when the phone is connected to any bluetooth device (although I don't think you can tell it to not launch the car home app when inserted into the car dock :\). Check it out if you haven't already. It's supposed to be available in the market, but I wasn't able to find it when I tried Friday (apparently it was improperly signed). If you can't find it there, I put a copy up on MediaFire though.

[Q] Disable bugreports from Volume Up / Volume Down?

Hi,
before you chop my head off, please listen
I did a lot of (google and xda) searching and i indeed found some useless discussions in Q&A section a.k.a. "what is that" "can i delete that" yada yada yada... . I know what it is, but i wanna disable it. And in Q&A obviously not that many capable ppl/cooks take a look. Thats the reason why i post here...
As this is not rom-related (happens with(out) sense roms on 2.2 and 2.3), i wonder if it's some default kernel routine, which can be altered. Or maybe just some textual setting in a config file?
As this is kinda annoying, if you use the dhd in a silicon case, where the two buttons are hit very often simultaniously, a solution would be great.
Any ideas?
thx in advance
angelus
what are you talking about? what do you mean happens when pressing vol up + vol down? on my phone nothing happens.
hi,

hitting both buttons the same time, it vibrates, takes some time to generate a 2-4mb bugreport on /sdcard/bugreports , vibrates 2 times again when its finished.
meanwhile the dhd is completly laggy and not to be used, which is annoying when you get it out of your pocket just to type a text or answer a call
also happens if screen is off. i am currently on cm7 nightly #36
greetz
i didn't checked if it creates a bug report but i never had my phone laggy when i pressed that two. just tested it. it even does not vibrate.
never had it on stock neither on my current leedroid 2.2.2 or any prvious leddroid rom.

Pressing the two buttons (vol +/-) creates a bug report on Mighty Nutella (CM7).. never noticed this though
Disable debugging mode
Still doing bugreports if usb debug is disabled... already tried that.
If you disable it your phone will probably get laggy due to the buggy init process

i don't know of cm7 but in the latest stock and also in several custom roms this has been already fixed for long time.
but on custom roms you may hit a different problem without usb debugging: it can happen that you get bootloops after rebooting without usb debugging on.
unfortunately this is going exactly the q&a direction, where i didnt wanna go. check the links in #3, there is everything mentioned you posted so far.
maybe a developer/cook can take a look at it or has an opinion.
thx.
Would be nice to know if this can be disabled. I have the same problem with the gel case putting pressure on both buttons when I pull it out of my pocket. Even worse is when its got both volume buttons pressed and I press Power to wake the screen. Instant reboot.
I know this is by design, but like the OP, I would also like to know if it can be disabled.
hmm, funny... after some more trys i managed to get the same behaviour
but it doesn't happen allways. in my case it is quite difficult to reproduce it, but possible.
Let me just point the OP to Chef Central for this. Obviously this is a Chef/dev question, and it's likely occurring on multiple devices.
Thread will be moved there.
so thats why it always vibrates by itself!
somebody please find a way to disable this! All those bugreports had 1gb of space used!!! obviously deleted now but before I was wondering why i had such a small amount of space..
Yep i can confirm that as well, CM7 latest nightly, it's annoying because you are listening to music it's a in a phone sock, you go to press a button to turn it up, you press both by accident, **** hits the fan.
I have also just come across this issue when my favourite Huawei u8150 custom rom was updated to Kernel v2.2.2 ported from a Huawei u8180.
I have worked out a quick and dirty fix and so far is works without any issues. Check my post below for full details.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15429103&postcount=242
Somewhere, in your BOOT.IMG, there's an ".rc" file with these rows:
Code:
# bugreport is triggered by the KEY_VOLUMEUP and KEY_VOLUMEDOWN keycodes or triggered by projectmenu
service bugreport /system/bin/dumpstate -d -v -o /sdcard/bugreports/bugreport
user root
disabled
oneshot
keycodes 115 114
I simply deleted the last one and bugreport is not annoying LEANdroid's users anymore!
ps. I also modified the description row in this way:

[FIX] Eclipse Bluetooth Headset

As many of you know with the release of Eclipse 0.8 and above it has a bug that if you connect your bluetooth headset on a call and try and use the volume rocker buttons (up or down) the dialer will force close and you lose the call.
Dialer in Eclipse 0.7 worked fine (except for the message it gives you upon using the rocker keys that the headset doesn't support the feature [but it does])
Download the dialer from 0.7 here
Disclaimer: You mess up your phone, you're fault not mine. Ok, let's-a-go.
1. Download the file above (Phone.apk from Eclipse 0.7)
2. On your phone open /system/app
3. Mount to R/W (Read and Write)
4. Find 'Phone.apk' (I renamed it to 'BackupPhone.apk') Upon renaming this .apk you will get Force Closes like crazy and must battery pull.
5. Move the 'Phone.apk' you downloaded above into /system/app
6. Change permissions on 'Phone.apk' to rw-r--r-- and move 'BackupPhone.apk' to your SD card for safe keeping.
7. Reboot
8. Use your phone with your bluetooth headset!
I have tested this on Eclipse 1.2RC1 and it worked great, that leads me to assume it will work with 0.8 - 1.2
Now thats what Im talking about!!!! Still said bt device not supported but it worked! CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW??!! Mashing thanks button!
I am going to try this to fix my car dock bugs.
I don't even use a bluetooth headset because I think they look dorky, but I'm hitting the thanks button for those who just read this and don't. Nice job man.

[Q] Gtablet on smoother bean 4.1.2 weird problem

Hey guys,
It is hard to explain the problem. The ROM is working perfect and fulfills all my needs. However every once in a while the tablet goes dead. completely dead without any aparent reason. Only way to get it back to life is to open it up, Unplug the battery and it boots up just fine. works for a while may be 15 days or 5 hours I never know.
On an average I have opend my tablet for more than 10 times in last 3 months. Other than that it works just fine.
Any idea, what's causing this problem?
I had the same type problem with these crashes. Mine would come back by opening the back and pressing the reset button. The problem was there with all the 4.1.x ROMs. I suspect it is the kernel.
I finally got annoyed enough to go back to my trusted Frankentab Froyo ROM.

Doesn't matter which rom I run, even stock, I get the occasional shut down of the blue.
Though I must say outside of the lack of flash Smooth runs very nice and only seems to shut down when I'm playing Pocket Empires (which isn't coded that great to begin with and crashes on my EVO as well) or just letting it idle. It has happened to me 3 total times since the original install 3 weeks back but not once since flashing the 2 updates to 4.1.2 with boot.img and audio fix a few days back.
I love using the dock and pumping out NES and SNES roms, HBO GO or avi files to the tv. Some people say that HBO GO doesn't work on theirs, might work for me because I'm using Dizzy's IMEI hack (also worked on black jb w/ the IMEI hack). Meh, beats me.
Thanks for the replies guys. I have not updated the ROM in a while. Might look into it. The instructions for the update is kind of confusing.
Well, So I am not the only one. I have noticed my tablet goes dead specially when a media is playing and I hook up speaker system via 3.5mm audia jack. perhaps plugging in and out that jack messes up the voltage discharge? I too believe its a kernel problem Athough my level of experty is no were near to comment such
Over all, when the smoothBean works, I just love it. and opening the tablet disconnecting batter now take me less than 7 minutes , lol.

I liked black jb pretty well, started there, and tried smooth. Liking smooth best.
I haven't crashed plugging in speakers because I run through the dock via hdmi.
I have however lost volume when I was using my headphones then unplugged them while avi file was playing (happened twice out of 30 or so many times, in mx player).
I'm using mx player w/ hardware decoding enabled, if I might ask what app are you running when it crashes?
And...
I've bounced around enough roms where I'm used to locking up at the 3 birds screen on initial install (and a press of the reset button fixes it 90% of the time), so I just broke out the dremmel and a tape measure, put in a hole small enough for a safety pin directly over my reset in the back and ground in DRH (while the panel was off, I'm crazy not stupid! lol, got tired of prying off the back).
---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------
Trust me, the updates are cake, nothing to worry about.
I use DRH's clockwork 5.5.0.4. and 4.1.2 smooth inverted
Download to pc (boot.img, audio fix), transfer to microsdhc card.
boot into clockwork
first page select: install zip from sdcard
second page select: choose zip from external sdcard
run both, order shouldn't matter
reboot, done!

If you press the reset button instead of unplugging the battery, then on the next boot after the crash, the /proc/last_kmsg file should hold the messages from the kernel--if it was the kernel that crashed (most likely here).
Post the contents of /proc/last_kmsg after a crash.
Hi Rajeevvp,
Sure, I will do it on next crash. luckily, its been working good since last 4 days with crossed fingers lol.
Okey it happend again, Dec 30th 2012 at 3:00pm.
This time, I reset it instead of disconnecting the battery. There is no such file as /proc/last_kmsg !
The tablet rebooted just fine.

bump, been waiting for reply. I dont know what these output means,, is there something wrong?
If you are busy enjoying new year eve, than fine. i can wait more . By the way Happy new year guys !
Take care. Peace.
Just a little update. after last reset, I did update namely the bootimage update and sound update available on the ROM page. and the tablet is working fine since then. It has been three days without froze, yay..
Only problem I'm experiencing on Smooth is when I've had a headset plugged in and it gets pulled out while playing an audio or video file I lose audio until I reboot.
Doesn't bother me any, when it happens I know the nephew has been sneaking onto the Facebook account he "secretly" has that he's not allowed to have and was watching a video when he yanked out the headphones from the jack, closed the browser and slides the tablet under a piece of furniture then "forgets" where it is when he thinks I'm walking into the room.
Gotta love kids that think they're being sneaky and don't know how to clear history.

Should not be discussed on this thread, but just to mention, Privacy feature is lacking on perfectly working ROM. for example, any one can just click gmail app and can access my emails if the tablet is unattended. It would be nice to have those app ask for password everytime we click it. Perhaps I do not make sense, unable to explain my quesiton.
Well, if you don't want people accessing your tablet, in settings, security, you change the lock screen from the default slide to unlock another setting like password, pin or pattern so it just doesn't open to anyone.
And if its just the mail app you want a password lock on (like on Outlook) then you might be able to find a client that will in market. Never looked into it, I get all my mail sent to my phone which has a strict "touch it and I'm pulling one of my swords off the wall and we'll see if you can do it again without hands" policy.
I'm not too concerned with my tablet, I like it a lot, but if someone messes it up I can flash a clean OS back on in 10 minutes. Letting people use it keeps them off of my gaming PC and my Skyrim game saves.

OK, so we've eliminated the obvious. RAM console support is built into this kernel. Next, we do some tests:
Baseline tests:
1. Reboot the tablet, then run a dmesg command like this:
Code:
$ [B]dmesg >/mnt/sdcard/dmesg1.txt[/B]
2. Reboot the tablet again and run a second dmesg command changing the output filename to dmesg2.txt. Check if /proc/last_kmsg exists. If it does, then copy it to /mnt/sdcard.
Reset switch tests:
3. Reboot tablet. Run a 3rd dmesg command with output in dmesg3.txt.
4. Reboot the tablet by pressing the reset switch. After the tablet boots, run a 4th dmesg command with output in dmesg4.txt. Check if /proc/last_kmsg exists. If it does, then copy it to /mnt/sdcard as a different filename.
Post all 6 files here.
Hi Rajeevvp,
Thank you for your reply. Reason I have not replied is because, after the running two update files my Gtab is running fine now. It has been more than 7 days now without any hiccup. Most importantly the ROM's developer himself comment in some post that the audio update has more than just audio and I do not know what it is but it certainly solved the problem for now.
But your reply certainly will help to troubleshoot down the road. So thanks again.
Peace.

Most likely the problem has gone underground rather than been fixed by those updates--but, no matter: enjoy your tablet.

Okey it happend again, Dec 30th 2012 at 3:00pm.
This time, I reset it instead of disconnecting the battery. There is no such file as /proc/last_kmsg !
The tablet rebooted just fine.

Here is what many of us have done for needing to reset. Take the back off the tablet, take some measurements, drill a hole thru the plastic above the reset button. This way you can put a paperclip in the back and reset without wearing out the little tabs that hold the back on. They do break sometimes no matter how careful you are. They just are not made for repetitve opening of the back. Also it saves wear breaking the batter cable. HTH
If you are flashing ROMs the reset hole in the back is a requirement.

MyGica ATV1200, Dual Core Android TV Box - how to?

Just got one to play with. and so far feeling ok with it..
But..
Why would you go and make the "Back, Home, Resent apps" buttons that are core to Android not be there?
Anyway, I got a feeling its only going to be an edit of a system file and we should be able to get them back working..
Its running JB 4.1.2
Anyone got any idea's how I can go about doing this?
As I am using team EOS 4 on the TF101, with thier nice way of having seperate EOS ability to edit the size, postion of these buttons in question..
Is is fesiable for me to grab the EOS apk and move it into this Rom an see if it works?
I am also thinking that something like LMK might be able to work too, but would have to be worked via mouse inputs not touch..
Any pointers in the right direction would be great thanks..
Also, I will use this thread ed as a bit of a collection of handy hints for these box's as I am sure they are going to up there in the development circle once they become a bit more available to the masses..

I know there are many posts about this but it took me a while to understand how it works and there is no single thread which has the information gathered in the first post, so I decided to make this. Sorry if it uneeded.
Anyone who want's to use on screen NavBar buttons, he's lucky! (at least compared to ICS).
Now, by adding in
the line
you get the navigation bar (after reboot) and at the same time Android system recognizes this and adds the three dot menu icon whenever needed*!
If you want to disable the hardware keys, edit the file
These are the three hardware buttons
Add a # before any you don't wan't to use any more. I did for 158 and 139 and left my Home button working.
There is a mod** (flash it in recovery) which makes the bar almost half the size. It's better looking and less space is wasted but it does get some time to get used to it and you might need a couple of tries sometimes when trying to hit those buttons.
*This wasn't the case for ICS.

Haven't had much time to put it through its paces as been travelling for work.
But here are some thoughts on it so far..
I have just upgraded to "update_Mygica_20130314.img"
http://up.stdvr.com/mygica/android/A...a_20130314.img
Like the new bigger pointer for the mouse, also it seems to have brought back the remote controls as I had lost those but I still have to manually turn it off.
I swap out the Chinese launcher with Apex launcher - Apex runs nicely and can back up all the settings and screens so are happy with this.
Speeds and Kernel controls :
As pretty much the same as the M1-M3 box's - until we have developers that are hacking these to suit our needs we are locked in the the Geniatech/MyGicia/Privos setting's - Which I hope in the not to distant future we get some of the phone/Tablet kernel guru's turning up and opening these kernels up for us to adjust the speeds in which these can run.
Using CPU Master I am able to get it to run @ 1540 after boot but the settings don't stick and from the readings I have done this is in the way they have setup the Init.d..
What is Init.d?

How I do it -XBMC-addons
As I seem to be installing multi-able versions of XMBC and or firmware upgrades, I have now got a set pattern in which I can reset most of my fav addons back up.. it maybe a little long winded for some but works for me as I find that I lose addons if I don't keep track of them thus I have them saved to a NAS drive. I access them via this method to re-setup.
1: Load the NAS directory up using CIF manager.
2: In XBMC -Go in to "System-Addons-install from zip
3: Go in to "Root file system" then "mnt" then 'cifs' then a 'XBMC' directory where I keep a backup of all my depositories that I use. ( over the last 12 months I have collected a nice bunch of them from around the traps)
Remotes:
Droidmote : I had it going the first time I set the box up in a hotel room using my Asus portable wifi router and had the accelerometer working nicely on a few games. but since I have been back to my home network I have not been able to get it to work - just tested it with that modem again and its not working, so i would say the uniput needs to be loaded up via a script again. Will play with it when get time.

Downlload and don't unzip, copy to SD card or USB disk, connect to the box and run upgrade->local update, select the SPI file to update first, after finished, it will restart the box, then, do the same steps to update the firmware, and XBMC is still xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-20130223.apk.
Above is a new firmware for Geniatech's dual core box, it fixed 4:3/16:9 aspect ratio and android bar problems of XBMC.

Upgraded to this one today.. Working smoothly.
Haven't had time to play with XBMC builds on it but was streaming off PPTV most of the day..
Not sure if it was the box or the network.. Seemed to encounter the ethernet problem after about 2 hours where the stream was caught up.
Switched out to wifi and ran the same stream for a while.. Then switched back to ethernet and no problems.. Maybe a net problem and or that old bug is still hanging round..
Overall zippy as hell but I am also running the Seeder app to keep the Random Entropy up to 4096.
We can clock up to 1512mhz and change out to performance governor but min seems to be locked in at 48mhz which seems a bit low.
But with that being said.. It shows that it actually sits down between 72mhz & 336mhz on low loads.
Navigation buttons are back plus a new screen shot one..
I also noticed in settings there is a new EASYLINK option.. Maybe some like a new remote control app or airplay?
Anyone got info on it?

has anybody used the component out on a mygica atv1200? i swear the blue and green are reversed. i've tried 2 sets of cables. i hooked from mygica to computer and tv. both will not display until i put blue cable in green and green in blue on the mygica box.. and obviously when i do this it messes up the colors. has anyone else noticed this? i tried taking out the hdmi as well and got the same results. i'd love it if someone could confirm i'm either right, or i simply have a bad box. thanks. i've also tried with different firmwares. including the 3/26. i'm now on 1/15.
Did anybody try that DroidMote server. I think I have problem with that uinput. I've downloaded it and made som changes with terminal emulator following instructions, still no moves... Please advice...
make sure it is rooted and goto the system folder and edit build.prop and add a line of code on a new line at the bottom:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
and reboot the device to get those buttons.

Works out of the box for me..
One thing I do is test the network I am on..
i.e test it with my TF-001 to make sure its working, then test it on the ATV1200.
As my other box I had to do some mods on it to get it to work..
but overall works great.. play a few games with it..

Another question. I faced to weird shutdowns during normal operation (browsing, video playing). It happens very frequently and I did everything, updated firmware, did several resets - no success. Any suggestions what it might be?

I found that it was not device issue but my TV set... It works smoothly on my neighbour's TV. If I could only know that they'll be incompatible... TV Firmware update - no success. Buying new TV for my box is ridiculous

Bear' before I reply I need to check my setup again to see what is what..
Just shifted cities here in China so its been a big few weeks..
I have got the box working into the Synology NAS and it is working without me playing with the CIFs setup.
But I have used the Networking program that came with the firmware and set it to auto mount the video and TV folders on the NAS.
I also need to find some time to setup XBMC again due to this new update.
And also test the new internet connection I have got..

[Q] Does Your Phone Ring?

As the title states. Those using the newest roms do your phones ring as should? Been using and always going back to Baked 6 because every newer rom I try the phone frequently does not ring. To name a few, I tried Hellybean, Slim, Carbon, Baked 8. I have tried every solution that I can find in these forums. I depend on my phone for work so it has to be reliable. Does it not bother others that the phone does not ring as should or does yours work?
I'm on Helly Bean and it rings every time... although I don't get phone calls very often at all, so maybe if I did it would miss a few. This is a common issue unfortunately and I've yet to hear of an easy solution.
Not Ringing Either
My phone doesn't ring either. Hasn't through out the whole time I've been using HellyBean. I've been searching the forums and thus far haven't found a fix. If anybody has the fix thread can you post it here, thank you. Looks like I'll have to look into another rom as suggested in the start post.
it;s probably a ROM that doesn;t get any attention but i have been using JellyBro and the ringing and notifications work fine.

Ugh, not again. Well... for what its worth, I found a way to stop losing em.
First, a little background... I discovered that the "media store" app will index ur phone's media after every reboot (as expected), but hangs before committing its findings from the temporary "wal" file to the "internal.db" database (where all ur media locations are stored). Then, when attempting to access the database while configuring ur ringtones/sounds, the media store app craps out and drops it findings altogether. Basically, the wal file disappears and the database file size decreases. So, all we have to do is force the wall file to commit before the media store drops it. Afterwards, the media store app doesn't appear to have a problem maintaining the database... even after rebooting. Definitely a bug with the app; see for urself by observing internal.db in /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases.
Now, the workaround (ull hafta reassign all ur ringtones/sounds after this... not like they worked anyway)...
1 - Delete the contents of the folder /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases.
2 - Reboot and wait ~5 min after startup to let the media store reindex all ur media. DO NOT configure any app's ringtones/sounds just yet.
3 - In terminal, enter the following commands. You should see "x | y | z" after the checkpoint command... where x is 0 (database is ok), y is the number of modified pages, and z is the number of pages successfully committed to the database. y and z should be equal and much greater than 0. If the result is not as described, the database is probably screwed up and u were too late. Go back to step 1 and repeat.
$ su
# cd /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases
# sqlite3 internal.db
> pragma wal_checkpoint(FULL);
> .exit
# exit
$ exit
4 - Trust the workaround and start configuring ur ringtones/sounds now... or reboot again and ensure the media store database stays fixed. I recommend the latter.
5 - 3 sir!

well i'm currently on Slim 04/09 build -
previous Slim 3/17;; ParanoidAndroid March Builds;; Baked Bean, 6/7/8;;; HellyBean;;; AOKP PUB;;;
that gets me back all the way to the beginning of the year
I have had working ringtones on ALL of these as my daily use phone...
on my test phone I cant test ringtones cause [ its not activated] but notification tones for things like hangouts, twitter, gmail, etc have ALL worked without fail on every build I've loaded,,, [ which is virtually ""ALL"" the others at one point or another]
but kind of like that work around is saying I always wait after a clean/data wipe about 10 minutes [before setting ringtones] while figuring out my other settings, adding apps and what not, usually give at least 1 more reboot and wait again another 10 minutes then set ringtones,,, but I also have my 2 personal use ones [ringtone = pyxis ,,&,, Notification = cyanping] stored in a file on my sd card [a couple ROMs have not had these and I don't really care to use anything else right now] and always making sure to choose media player/server as the default app if I've wiped media storage settings data,,, [that way I can add them back into the appropriate folders if needed]
I did have this issue way back about August/September of last year running on AOKP builds, but I remember odin to stock, then THS 1/2 build then flashing to an older glitched build before the original partition changes or the later partition changes, and probably flashing new aokp,,, wiping data, etc and I got mine fixed...butt... it could have gone back to me waiting out those initial scanning times plus reboots ~ before ~ setting ringtones/data,,,
then again,,, some peoples fascinates have just given them major issues with this and they have rarely seemed to fix the problem,,, so it could be hardware tolerances and those are just really off on some setting somewhere...???
Good Luck
I really dont feel it is a ROM issue...maybe an Android issue, like the voicemail notification prompt problems [because we dont have LTE and that is coded into jb software now, so the fascinate freaks out when it cant find lte settings...]
.
---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------
you could try ,,, now that it borked on you,,, clearing out the android.providers.media / data , boot into recovery, wipe dalvik and cache partition, and reboot then wait out the time, reboot and again wait out time,,, then set ringtones,,, and try...don't know what else to say...
Thanks for the suggestions. Will try them.
