Nexus 5 microphone only works in speakerphone topic

Hello everyone,

I am having a major problem with my Nexus 5’s microphone (LG-D820). Before I continue, I have searched for threads with the same issue but none appears to be the same, despite being similar. I keep finding that others mention that other people can hear them as if they're distant from the phone. Others mention a fix by plugging in headphones and toggling speakerphone as a fix. None of these are true for my device. I found a bug report thread on Google’s bug list for AOSP (https://code.google.com/p/android/is...etail?id=80251) but it has a small priority with no resolution to the issue.

Onto the issue: The microphone does not work at all unless I make a phone call and activate the speakerphone. Even sound recording apps or Google’s voice recognition search does not work. I have noticed that there is a 2 second static when trying to record audio using sound recorder, which is amplified by covering the mic on the top of the phone.

Since the mic appears to work on speakerphone, I figured it couldn’t be a hardware problem. I tried restoring back to Google’s original build (4.4 KRT16M) for the nexus 5 to see if it was an issue with 5.0.1 and I had no luck. I literally tried every single build released by Google (KOT49H, KTU84M, KTU84P, LRX210, and LRX22C) and I have had no luck. I even went as far as installing Sailfish OS and Firefox OS to see if a non-android OS would fix the issue. No luck.

Desperate for a fix, I purchased the Charging USB Port Dock Connector Mic Flex Cable (for reference: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111297706019) to replace my old one and it didn’t fix anything of course.

At this point, I’m all out of options and afraid that I’ll have to buy another phone. I seriously do not want to stray from the nexus 5 but I don’t know what else to do.
Does anyone have idea what else I could try to fix the issue? Even any thoughts on why a non-android OS wouldn’t fix the issue are welcome. Thanks in advance guys.

[Q] Galaxy S-5360 No Download Mode, but Recovery Mode Works topic

I am new to posting, but I have followed XDA for a long time and used it to install custom ROM's on other phones. However, I now have a problem with my wife's Samsung Galaxy GT-S5360L. I have searched for hours, but can not find a solution.

The phone is stuck in a boot loop. I can enter stock recovery mode. When I try to perform a factory reset, I get the following message:

E:format folume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl11
formatting /cache
Data wipe complete

After wiping the cache partition, the phone continues to be stuck in the same boot loop after reboot (Samsung logo appears on screen, followed by animation, back to Samsung logo).

The phone will not enter into download mode. When I press power+volume down+home, I see a white screen, followed by a black sreen, followed by another white screen. the suggested method of removing the battery, SIM, and SD card, and plugging into the computer while holding both volume buttons does not work. Odin will not recognize that the phone is installed.

I tried to connect the phone to two different computers. One runs Linux mint with Windows XP on a VM. This computer has always worked for flashing ROM's to other phones. Odin would not recognize the phone, and I received messages that the device was not properly installed.

I then tried to connect the phone to another computer with Windows Vista. This PC has Kies installed and Samsung drivers. Kies would not connect to the phone, and I also received messages that the device was not properly installed. Odin would not recognize the phone. I should note that the phone has interfaced with this computer sucessfully before.

This phone has never had a custom recovery or ROMs installed. It only has the original stock ROM. Is the phone's hardware defective, or can it somehow be fixed? Please post any links to threads that I may have missed. Thanks.

[Q] Heartrate sensor works weird after lollipop upgrade topic

I recently upgraded galaxy S5's OS to lollipop.

After that the red led of heart rate sensor turns on every time when I place my finger (in device wake-up status) upon it even if I'm not using S-health application to check my heart rate.

Is it a bug or something about background recording heart rate?

Now I'm worrying about the battery consumption of it.

[Q] Can someone explain to me how storage works? What is topic

I decided to upgrade to Lollipop after holding out for awhile.... before I did though, as I knew I was going to run an RUU so I wouldn't have any problems with the OTA, I copied everything in my "storage" (all folders) to my windows laptop desktop via USB.

After upgrading, I copied it all back, making sure not to over-write anything.

What is strange is when I copied all my folders to my laptop initially, I didn't see a Download folder... which I expected to see. But after looking through the folders I had copied, I saw a folder called storage, and in that folder another called emulated, and then another called "0". In that folder I finally saw my Download folder.

I didn't think much of this at the time, however, when I look at storage from Root Explorer, I note there is a new Download folder at the "root" level of storage, but the storage/emulated/0 path is still there as well.... and following it takes me to my old Download folder....

So...to get back my original folders and contents before I upgraded to Lollipop, I have to copy over every folder in this path up 3 levels. i.e., from /storage/emulated/0/storage/emulated to /storage/emulated.

What is going on? Why is there an "0" and a "legacy" if I go up one level from /storage/emulated/??? Why did my old Download folder end up where it did?

[Q] Xiaomi Pistons' volume buttons don't work, the mic button works topic

Hello :)
I bought these great earphones, but I am having some troubles with my devices. The Nexus 7 (2013) recognizes all three buttons as mic button (if you have any solution for this, I opened a thread here);
the Moto G LTE (XT1039), instead, doesn't recognize volume keys at all. If I press them nothing happens, while the mic button works as it should. Is there a way to make them work correctly on my Moto G? Thank you

IMEI and BaseBand Version Fix Works 100 % topic

Lately i've been watching people as well as myself screwing imei and not getting reception.
There are two cases possible
1> You screw only the IMEI
2>You screw the baseband version also ( which in some cases makes the mobile lag )

Lets start with fixing the baseband version nothing can be done with a simpler way you just have to flash the stock firmware again and the next time you boot the baseband version will appear.

Imei Fixing

Prerequisite
** Make sure you are using Stock rom and Locked Bootloader
1> Install PDA Net and CDC Drivers*
2> Install MauiMeta 3G Software*
3> Download MTK 6582 NVRAM Database* (The Chipset our phone is using )

After you are done doing all these things
1) Open MauiMeta App
2) Click on Action select open NVRAM DB, A popup will appear navigate to the database files downloaded and select the db files and select the files starting with APDB... and the next time BPLG...
3) Click on Option on App and select "Connect Smart Phone In Meta Mode "
4) Select USB COM as your host and click on Reconnect
5)After doing this switch off your phone and connect it if drivers are installed properly the phone will boot in meta mode and the window besides the USBCOM will be accessible click on IMEI Tool if NVRAM DB files are asked provide it
6) Write the IMEI from the Mobile Phones Box (Behind) in both the tabs and press Upload to flash
7) Restart Phone
Voilà IMEI Appears and you can now get Network Signal

AS THIS IS MY FIRST POST AND I HAVEN'T COMPLETED POSTING 10 TIMES IN OTHER THREADS I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SHARE LINKS FROM OTHER WEBSITE WHICH INCLUDE THE SOFTWARE DRIVERS AND NVRAM DATABASE FILE. YOU TOO CAN BE INTELLIGENT AND GOOGLE THEM.

PRESS THANKS IF HELPED!!

[Q] Moble data works with stock rom, but not custom topic

I'm having a lot of trouble with my S2 right now. I've been running CM10 since I got it with no trouble at all. I updated to 11 when it came out, again with no problems. Basically what happened is I flashed the stock ROM so I could use the video camera, then just restored back to CM through recovery when I was done. I did that two or three times, then suddenly I have no mobile data on any custom ROM, OR on the stock ROM I made a backup for. Voice and text works fine, just no data, either 3G or 4G.

I eventually un-rooted and went completely back to stock, and that got data working. I rooted and got recovery installed, and everything's still working fine. But, no matter if I try to install Cyanogen fresh, or try to restore a backup, I don't get mobile data. If I restore a backup of the last stock ROM, data works fine. From inside the stock rom, I did a master reset and updated PRL and profile.

Does anyone have a clue as to what I'm doing wrong?

Smart Lock hardly works topic

So I've got BT enabled and paired for both my N9 and my N5. The smart lock is on my N9 and set up to trust my N5. It always shows Not connected and requires a PIN.

Also, I've got my home as a trusted place, but it still requires a PIN when I'm there. I've checked Maps, and it knows it's here. It even shows the word "Home" underneath my blue dot.

The only thing that works is Trusted Faces, but that's so finicky I can't rely on it for anything.

No fastboot, recovery, or DL mode, rom works, please help! topic

TL;DR The title

Hey XDA,

So about a month or two ago, I decided to check out xdabbeb's VS982.5 rom because i felt like a bit of fresh air after all the lollipop roms was in order. So I grabbed his bumped bootstack+recovery, and flashed over to the rom.

What I didn't anticipate(and what I really shoule have) was the issues I would have getting back over to a lollipop rom because of the compatibility problems between loki'd and bumped roms and recoveries.

This is where my memory gets fuzzy because this was so long ago, and I apologize if that causes issues with fixing my problem. I do remember trying several different recoveries and bootstacks and none of them would flash because of the bumped recovery. Eventually I found a way to get back to my backup (The January 11th build of BlissPop). However, I still could not flash roms because of the bumped recovery I could not get off of. I tried several different recoveries, and several different methods of flashing them.

Eventually I downloaded flashify off the play store and downloaded the a recovery from there and flashed it from there, which to my recollection broke both my download mode and my recovery. The rom still works, but I can't access recovery or download mode to flash any new roms or do anything besides what is in the rom.

I would appreciate any suggestions anybody has for me, and am willing to totally revert to stock to fix this.

Much thanks!

Photo RAW on Jiayu G3 (mtk6577) works. topic

Who are interested in shooting in raw on this phone? It is in the engineering menu. It works. I decoded the output file. Is a much higher quality than stock or other camera in jpeg. It's clean, unprocessed raw (15MBt)! There is a desire to get the application: to somehow pull (decompiled? Remake) of the module EngineerMode.apk shooting (test camera), add the raw decoder output file into something normal (tiff / png /? /). Decoder exists in the source code (java, but for the company). Must somehow combine it to get a full application. I do not have enough knowledge of the language. And I can not understand decompile EngineerMode.apk. So I can not do it.
Here are four photos in the archive Attachment 3158379 two in jpeg, reaped by the android, and other tiff (converted from raw, untreated, as-is). The only disadvantage we have to somehow adjust the white balance (often obtained images like this, with a greenish tint). What are the advantages: no artifacts jpeg (cubes), more dynamic range (shades easily into focus - see for yourself).
This applies not only to my phone Jiayu G3, but also to the entire platform MTK6577 (maybe more). I think this application will be very popular. Who made it?

[Q] only top of touchscreen works topic

I had earlier reported this as a bad digitizer, but now not so sure. I'm hoping some of the experts here can advise me. I have an S4 (M919) in which everything works fine except only about the top 10% of the screen will respond to my touch. The display looks fine and I can control the top band (notification area, etc), but it doesn't respond anywhere else I touch. I swapped a different motherboard from another S4 and the same problem, so don't think it is a software issue.

What could cause this? Is it possible to replace just the touchscreen without having to replace the entire LCD which is at least 0 - 0.

Thanks in advance.
