A quick question, anyone got this problem with the speaker?

Every time I pick up a phone call or place a phone call, sounds come out from both front and rear speakers, the sound coming from rear speaker is with lots of noise. I have to turn on then turn off the speaker on dial panel to shut down the rear speaker. It is really annoying.

Can anyone help? Thanks.

You've found the workaround - flip speaker on/off, fixed.

The permanent fix is the new acoustic code. Right now audio routing is... let's just say broken. It's a kernel-only affair, userland has no input on where to route audio. So the kernel does its best to 'guess' where to send the audio, but it doesn't always guess right. So understandably there's some issues with this...

JB was working like a freight train on that audio routing code, but I haven't seen anything new on it in a while. Unfortunate, since it seemed *almost* ready. You can play with the code if you wish, audio works much better for the most part... but it's experimental code. Things like all audio not working has been reported, and I definitely noticed the lack of mic working while in speakerphone mode... so the far-end can't hear you while using the speakerphone.

The other fix is to turn off the dialing tones (DTMF)... when those play they automatically route all audio to the external speaker and it doesn't come back on it's own.

Ah, I forgot about that. Thanks!

Some small problem here, sometimes i can't make/receive a call. When it's an outgoing call it just ends before i get a connection. Have changed kernell but it still stays. Anyone a solution for this one??

What phone? RHOD400/500? Have you updated your radio firmware?

The kernel has little to no effect on your ability to make/receive calls. Hence why I asked about the radio firmware, because there was an issue recently and it was established that everyone who is on older firmwares need to get up-to-date on the newest.

I won't link you any, since I don't know what phone you have. If you have a RHOD400/500, I would recommend the 2.37 VZ radio.

My phone is a rhod100, and to be honest i don't know if i updated my radio firmware. Don't know that much about my phone, but i do know you guys do an amazing job!!

Do we have an idea of which panels it works and it does not?. I just spend the last week having people test this and most claimed it work. The touch pro2 happens to be more advanced in this area than other devices actually. The novatek hardware in the tp2 can do autobacklight sensing directly on the panel in a closed loop more. Meaning there is no code needed to adjust the backlight once its enabled on the panel. Problem is that panel needs to be configured right but as we all know the tp2 has about 5 different panels. So maybe not all were covered.

I finished the light sensor code but have not committed it. After a discussion with the kernel brethren it seemed useless knowing the panels adjust themselves. Only devices like Kovsky might benefit since they don't appear to have the same closed loop mode like the tp2.
