I just got a HTC Flyer GSM/WIFI 32gig from a buddy. Tho its a year old its condition is like new and i was amazed by the battery life, Its on stock Honeycomb Hboot 1.11.0011. Like the flyer but only problem is when I insert the sim card I could only use my data and sms but no voice call
So 1st thing as usual, when I get a new device, is to head over to XDA . After hours of search, same answer I got, downgrade to GB, S off then I can enable the phone function or alternatively, unlock bootloader root and install custom roms which had the function. As I like the stock HC and also because this is an obsolete device, developers are not so active. So this is what I did to get full function phone on the stock HC.
I unlock with HTCdev,( had problem with submitting token,copy and paste keep getting error (done at least 6 phones no problem) so I finally type in manually and got it unlock, rooted (mainly to get rid of bloatware too-saves battery)
Thanks to @clubtech, I use root explorer to copy 2 'buildprop files, one to external sd and other to internal storage (just incase i need to revert)
I then use my pc to edit the file in internal storage :
ro.ril.reject.cs.ss.enabled=0
ro.ril.reject.mo.ussd.enabled=1
ro.phone.function=1
For bluetooth headset:
ro.bt.profiles = 4270403
service.brcm.bt.ag.supported=1
I then copy the edited file and paste it in system and override the original buildprop file, Reboot.
Went to playstore to try a couple of daillers, one was ok but i could call but incoming the screen freezes and the next one says my device does not support telephony. I uninstalled them and use the stock phone and after a couple of more reboots viola it works. You can even use yr own ringtone Though this is an old device this might still help a couple of guys. Cheers
Thanks, since you're already tinkering may you try and apply these changes to this HC custom ROM (Coolexe's) and see if you can get working gsm calls via bt headset?

R: Full Phone Function Flyer on Honeycomb
I already tried and edited the build.prop as you suggested but Bluetooth headphones can't connect while Bluetooth audio works fine. So I'm back to Gingerbread, sadly no custom Honeycomb ROM offers working bt headphones and there are no devs still active on Honeycomb roms. You said you had stock rooted Honeycomb ROM and you enabled both gsm phone calls capability and Bluetooth headphones profile, can you confirm that?

I will get the phone back from my nephew this weekend then i will install this rom and test. I did not not test on BT only on the wired earpiece and also without earpiece mic and speaker all work well. Ex dialer is good and screen timeout toggle takes care of the 15sec sleep. Basically this flyer is a full function phone so will test the BT fully this weekend and let u know. Cheers
R: Full Phone Function Flyer on Honeycomb
Thanks, this is much appreciated. I'm impressed you get the 15-secs-screen-timeout bug even on a stock ROM, now I'm curious if you also tried installing MANY APPS (at least more than 100) and see if sd-card-installed apps actually stick after a reboot, and if you can actually hit a limit for installed apps (on HC I never got to have more than let's say 125, while on GB and ICS I never had this limit).
I mean, I thought these were custom Rom related issues, not stock!

Though i m not very optimistic as others would ve tried it long before, i will play around with it this weekend and see if there's anything i can do. cheers
R: Full Phone Function Flyer on Honeycomb
This is the fact: every HC ROM with activated phone functionality comes from an obscure Chinese ROM base (LeeDroid's first, so Coolexe's and the others which are based on LeeDroid) and suffer the same bugs, I just don't know if those bugs are present in a stock Rom with enabled phone. Thanks if you can help shed some light.

I got over the 15 second timeout using the intelliscreen app from market. It can use the accelerometer to detect the position and stay on. Also I have found a screen on app that will wake the device if the screen does blank.
Can you use Bluetooth calls on GB? which Rom? I see your sig says Max128Droid but BT did not work for me ..... reflashing to test ..... Reflashed GB BT does not work for me!
Thanks
BT voice calls work on GB roms; like Max'es. And it does not work on ANY HC Rom. Period. Next generation roms with Dexters OneXXL is yet last one where BT calls wark via BT for SOME bt headsets not all.

I am continuing to search for a Rom or combination that allows full phone support. I discovered yesterday that ICS shooter rom worked with bluetooth for me, would appreciate if we could list the various roms that you have tried and what features worked/didn't work.
I have attached an XLS of my findings so far but am looking at modifying build.props and swapping APK's to see what happens.
I am late to the flyer (had an Evo but swapped to the flyer for the Sim) so do not have any history and many roms are unavailable.
I thought the Bluetooth problem was a kernel issue I am no doubting this as Roms with the same kernel behave differently.
help please!!!!!

Running newest OTA ROOT ROM now but ever since I rooted to 2.1 the BT ausio works but not the Handsfree for phone. I am also running a leaked 2.1 eris and it to wont connect to phone. My Moto headset will work but not the Pioneer hed unit. Any one else having this issue or found a resolution???
I'm having a similar issue. When I connect to my Jabra Cruiser, this voice says it's connected, the phone reads that it's connected, but when I check it in the settings, all it says is that it is connected to phone media, and doesn't stream anything through the Cruiser. I can't use it for phone calls and it also won't stream my music like it did prior to the flash.
I'm running
Firmware - 2.1
Baseband - 2.41.05.02.03
Kernel - 2.6.29-564a4a15
[email protected] #1
Build - 2.6.605.4 CL140744 release-keys
Software - 2.26.506.4
any ideas on how to get the ability to use bluetooth back?
I use my bluetooth handsfree in my 2008 Accord every day. I've NEVER had an issue with it until the new 2.1 rooted roms. It would connect to my phone and dial the number, but the audio would come out of the phone instead of my car speakers. This also only happened sometimes, not all the time..
However, I recently flashed Evil Eris v1.1 and I have yet to experience any issues with it. Bluetooth has been working flawlessly for me. I'm still unable to transfer my contact list to my car though. I thought this was supposed to be possible with 2.1?
hopefully a dev will read this and be able to give some input on my idea.
Since I'm not 100% sure how to do it, I want to give my idea and see if it will work...
I downloaded the milestone 2.1 apk dump file that I found floating around and was seeing what apps were worth anything. The only one I may use is the MotoPortal app. It seems to launch on the Eris, I just haven't been able to try it out fully yet... Anyways... Back to issue... I noticed that there was apk files for bluetooth.
Is there any way to rip the bluetooth apk from another ROM and replace the bluetooth stuff on the Eris? Like maybe revert back to the bluetooth apk from 1.5 so we can fix the bluetooth issue with 2.1?
Just a thought. i'll be a guinea pig if someone could give me a how-to.
So... I tried dumping in the Milestone 2.1 bluetooth file into a zip of the eris official 0.5.4 ROM I had to see if maybe replacing the file would work. Well, after wiping my phone, I tried the install, and here is what it gave me.
Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:Wrong digest:
system/app/Bluetooth.apk
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted.
Does anyone have any other ideas on how to get bluetooth working correctly on 2.1?
BT audio is working for me but calls will not. I had the same problem on 1.5 though. My wife's Moto Droid works perfect on the same unit.
This worked for me.
I had the same problem when I rooted with Grdlock's Rom. I switched to SENSE-ABLE and was able to get both phone and music to BT with my Sony car radio. Could just be a coincidence...but it works great!
I tried the Sense-able rom, and my phone is still doing the same thing as before. Hopefully since the update for the Droid is out, we aren't too far behind.
I ran the Vanilla Rom the other day after a wipe and now I am having no bluetooth issues. I'm not sure if it is just the other roms or if any of the nexus stuff was causing it but I'm good to go now.
I'm only using the nexus lock on my phone. no live wallpapers or nexus theme anymore.

So I recently just rooted my droid and I'm running the evileris firmware atm I'm really happy with everything except that my phone can no longer make phone calls. The sound during phone calls does not work and I think it may not work sometimes in the music player as well. It works when I plug in the headphones but when i take them out no sound.
Airplane mode and resetting do not fix this problem and the updates that I've tried flashing from [FIX] Audiofix. NEED TESTERS FOR NEW KERNEL in the Hero CDMA forum do not work either.
This phone worked fine before rooting and flashing and the problem is present on all the roms I've used. The update above simply hangs my phone at the bootscreen, no matter which one I use. (Maybe its written just for hero?)
Anyways I was hoping one of you guys could have a fix or maybe have also had this same problem? Thanks!
(from what I've read in the thread above it seems the issue is a bad kernel that hangs up or fails to reset so you have to do it manually, but resetting doesn't fix the issue for my. My problem is constant phone call audio loss)
UPDATE: I have done some more experimenting and it seems the only problem is from the in-cal speaker, because when I put speakerphone on it works fine. The problem lies with the front speaker (part that goes to your ear).
maybe your phone is broken?
I went back down to 1.5 root, works fine. Its an issue with 2.1 :/ So currently I have 2 nandroid backups, 1 of 1.5 and 1 of 2.1 so I'm just switching in between the two.
did you try....
Did you wipe before flashing? After flashing did you try *228 opt 1? This may help as it sorted my audio issues with another Rom.
im having this same problem and i have no clue why i have tried everything knows possible to fix this.
I wipe before each flash as well as each recovery haha. atm my setup is 2.1 evil eris for the weekends and 1.5root for the weekday when i actually need to make calls
*228 opt 1 did not work btw
I just make a new backup at the end of the week and recover to the other one, works like a dual-boot pc or a bootcamp mac. It works, but its getting kidna old I'd rather just have 2.1 for good haha.
Longtime lurker.....1st time poster....I just installed leak v2 (I was one of those that was too impatient to wait for root)...I had the same problem that everything worked fine except the phone had no in call sound. went through all the setting and found that TTY was set to full...I unchecked it and the sound came back. I know this may be simple...but it worked for me.

I'm having the same problem... During a phone call, I get no sound / can't hear the person I am calling from the "internal speakers" (i.e. the one you hold to your ear during a call). If I switch to external speakers (i.e. loudspeakers) I can hear the person I'm calling...
What is this "TTY" setting that fixed this problem for you? Where can I find it and uncheck it?
Bought the Atrix last week and unlocked it with the help from the webshop as I'm in Belgium, no problem connecting to Mobistar wich is my provider and data connections works great. But I'm having real problems making phonecalls and recieving calls; the phone reboots or the dialer hangs and it looks like a call is going on when it's not, phone still works but flashing green in the notification area and it's impossible to hang up, need to reboot. This happens like 80% of the times I try to make a call. After a reboot it works fine to call and hang-up one or two times then it crashes again.
Also noted that my Dialer often runs twice in the Running Apps manager - is that normal??
Anyone having the same issues or know what to do, reinstall the Dialer app --> if so how? Is it a hardware or software problem??
A little more info: when I recieved the device it was in a sealed Atrix box but the phone was used and already had an active Blur account so I had to do a hard reset to be able to use it... --> was it returned 'cause of faulty dialer or radio... then resold to me... not nice if so...?
Tried to install dialer one app but it seems only to skin the original dialer...
It's a greate device and works great othervice but in the end it's still a phone... which should be able to make calls...
Help
Ive got an unlocked Atrix too and now in Germany, I have the same problem. Motorola should definitely look into this.
Here's a quick fix for it thou, (not permanent)....
1. type *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer
2. Chose Phone Information
3. Set preferred network to GSM only
Viola...its fixed
problem with this fix is that you wont be able to use your 3G network but the dialer should be working.
Thanks Nazrin (for both replies) !!
It sure did the trick, though no data access is not acceptable on a phone like this!!!
So this meens that all unlocked Atrix's in european GSM networks have the same problems? Haven't seen any others reporting this and there are quite a few in use I've noted in other forums.
Was thinking of trying to have mine replaced (which probably won't be easy and take long time...) but that won't change anything then??
We have to wait for the european version of Atrix rom I suppose??
Any others with the same problem??
No problems buddy, glad it worked..and i have to agree with you..this bug is unacceptable...it seems the phone just ***** up everytime it calls on utms (3g)...im sure there is more people with this problem...
Sent from my Supercharged MOTO ATX
I have the same problem
Hi guys, I have the same exact issue (I'm also in Belgium, on Mobistar). I'm somewhat glad to hear this is a generic issue, and not an issue with my specific phone. At least I can be fairly certain replacing it won't solve this issue then.
I made another post here before I came across this one, has a bit more info: we are seeing modem panics when using 3G + outbound call. I've also contacted Motorola support to no avail:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028771
You can also read there that I tried another operator, and it did not crash with that one (although 3G did disconnect).
Hopefully Motorola/Qualcomm will start to notice the bug when they release the phone globally, and release a fix.
Either that, or we all have phones from the same bad batch
This bug is really bad for users in europe....cant call on utms...
I really hope motorola takes this seriously cos if there's no fix via software updates then its moto gone for me
Guys, you are all on unlocked att atrix right? I do believe it is a simmiliar software glitch/bug/lock that you have porblems using it on non att networks as the problem with the wifi that it stops working for some of us (check the thread about it for more info). As all suggests there it is a config file problem, unfortunately i or anyone else doesnt know yet which one....
Yeah maybe..but funny thing is wifi is working without a glitch...will have to read that forum later...
Workaround options
So, since it seems we're not gonna get this fixed until there is a new radio/modem firmware available for flashing (and even then..), I've been looking for a workaround.
Found two potential applications that could do what we need: disable data completely when making an outgoing call, or switch to 2G:
- Sanity
- Superpower
I've tested the first (Sanity), and it does not work (fully). It does seem to disable data, but the bands aren't switched so our problem remains. I've contacted the developer here: http://tagliamonte.net/forum/thread-10.html. He seems to be very responsive, so given enough interest, I think he would add the functionality we require.
The second app I only came across today, and have not tried yet. It does not have a function to specifically switch bands when making an outgoing call, but it has a trigger for "Foreground application", so if we make that the dialer/contacts... Question remains if it will be able to do the switch.
Hopefully one of these will lead to a decent workaround for all of us!
Well done unknown...i will try these apps... but the real fix should be from moto...im always reading the net for anything that can solve this issue
reboots on incoming and outgoing calls
Same in Russia on Megafon network, I had to enter 4636 menu and use it as "GSM only". Even this does not fully solve problems, e.g. call forwarding does not show the new destination number while it does actually make the phone divert calls correctly.
My hope is that UK release will trigger new software version which will address this issue. ANYONE has news on this?
FIXED!
YAY! I just fixed this issue
What you need to do: flash the radio from this thread:

You have to use RSD-lite, since sbf_flash will not work. Flash the 1.87 baseband and enjoy working HSPA (including unlocked upload speeds ^^)
Now I can finally appreciate this phone fully

[Sorry for problem in speaking]
i had that problem too , im using CM13 with Marshmallow Version of android
So . the easy way is :
***** search "Default" in settings. then choose " System dialer" as Default ! just it ****
but if there is no search bar in your setting . try this patch:
Android 6 : Setting/Apps then click the setting icon on top(may be diffrent in your case) , then Click on "default ...." then choose " System dialer" as Default! :fingers-crossed:
but in some cases that it didnt work . they have to reinstall gapps .
Or in official Roms , reset will be usefull
any quastions?
Hey guys,
because i've not enough posts (only 2=(, i can't post it to the dev section), i'll post my question in here:
Can we make Phone calls with the flyer, if we update it to HC 3.2? Because if im right, you can't make phone calls with the xoom or other HC Tabs?!
thanks!

as far as I know, not yet! just wait till the version will be public, so we can test.... with GB is possible, sure it will be soon possible even with HC>

So I've tested it....
The telefon dials and and u got the receiving telefon to ring...but: you don't hear anything,neither with loudspeaker, nor without it..(headphones didn't tested)...you also don't have a "dial" button- so you have to call your contacts, and you got "Wrong-signs" at the "keyboard-button" and at the "contact-button"...
So hope the devs could work on this, too...

Please try following method to see whether dial button will appear..
1) Hold your flyer in portrait position.
2) go to setting
3) go to manage application
4) search for dialer and press it
5) in the dialer do clear cache and clear data
6) go back home screen
6) stlil at portrait position , go into phone application
7) now see whether the button appear.
Hope it will....

tested doesn't work... for my flyer with flyhoney 0.1
don't expect phone call with HC, so far i know HC is purposely not include phone call service
Tested and double confirmed the phone is not working but..
sms is working great
When you receive phone calls do not hear anything.
http://youtu.be/j6_bZUwbzjQ
Seems not that simple in HC like "just change build.prop and voila!"
By the way, can we use any other dialer? Native one lacks "end dial" button in horizontal layout. You can dial but to end call, you have to turn phone to vertical
Edit: The above video is the only one that shows we can use GSM on HC, assuming it's not fake

earlier I was on 4.1.2 and it was working good with my jabra clipper bluetooth headset, after updating to 4.4.2 it sucks!.
according to my observation,
The OS is trying to save battery by limiting the bluetooth signal strength!, and the same problem with wifi also.:silly:
Looking for a workaround. If i find any will post for sure.
I have the same issue with my Note 2 after update to 4.4.2..
It seems to be a distance problem with my headset, every distance more than 50 cm creates
sound break up´s .. In my car the phone has a fixed place, it happens too, but not this much.
Maybe it is caused by a lower power managment for BT after update ?!
Found some others having the same issue e.g. here

Yepp, I know that threat. But on my N7100 nothing works. In the meantime I'm on Paranoid ROM with 4.4.4 and it's a little better, but not much.

Hi
and have the same problem with the bluetooth, the phone in my pocket, Samsung headphones on the head and lose the music signal, conclusion .... android version
Before to upgrade I had 4.3 and works very well and now I upgraded to 4.4.2 my Note 2 with Phantom_V7.0 and work awesome but has a minus....... the bluetooth signal gets lost and it's not about the power,for ex i have battery with 4200 mAh
I will continue to keep looking this problem and I will return
There is no way to get better connection. The only way is using a 4.3 ROM
Seems like the problem is solved.
Hey guys!
It seems to me I’ve found the solution!
But firstly, a few words about the problems I’ve got…
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and, when I decided to replace my old Plantronics Discovery 975 with their Voyager Edge, it had installed Android 4.3.
Both events, start using the new Bluetooth devise and upgrading to KitKat (4.4.2) occurred almost simultaneously, so it was pretty difficult to recognize what was the source of the problems that I run into – hardware/firmware issues of Voyager Edge or KitKat’s quirks. The problems were the following:
- Poor Bluetooth connection that resulted in distorted sound (not always, but often) thru the headset.
- Regularly losing the ability to use various Edge’s features, such as calling back to the last number, checking the battery status, recognizing who's calling, etc.
- Note’s battery drained badly – instead of 50-60% left at the end of the day, I got 10%...
I spoke several times with Plantronics support, but they ended advising me to replace the headset. I have neither found the specific solution in the internet and it was even reported that the factory reset would hardly help. So, that was almost the dead-end. But there was one pretty weird solution that helped to some people – deleting the duplicates in the phone’s contact list. But, since I had NO duplicates, it didn’t seem to be helpful. But then, I noticed one very strange detail – during the moments when Edge worked properly it correctly pronounced the names from my phone book, even tho some of them were quite unusual for English speaking "robot". All of them, but one – my mother’s record, which was a simple “Mom”, but when she called me, the Edge’s notification was definitely not “calling from mom”…
So, I just renamed “mom” to “mother”!
Guys, can you believe that, but ALL the problems (both phone’s and headset’s) have just gone! I’ve been using it for almost a week already and it’s OK. So, you may check your contact list, whether it sounds correctly.
Well, one issue left – weird/funny bug of the Edge’s firmware – start playing music when you take it off the cradle. (2 latest firmware updates didn’t cure that…). I just long press the voice button on the Edge to pause it. Not a big deal, to be honest.
Oh, just one last note – since Voyager Edge cannot be rebooted you can do the following if/when you neither hear the music (!), nor the report that the headset is connected when you take it off the cradle. Just long press the Call button on the headset (in my case it runs Note’s S-voice) and then everything works just fine. (Checked twice.)
Hope that this will help you too.
Cheers,
Max
Hi Max,
nice story, but I can't belive that this entry or change of entry will make the BT signal better.

Hi Harvey,
Absolutely the same reaction was mine, when I read the comment by dawolverune (see page 1 of this thread). How deleting duplicate contacts might help…
Well, if assume that I tell the truth (and I actually do! ), then the solution may be explained in 2 ways: a) logical – I’ve been hammering with all this stuff for almost a week and nothing helped until I renamed that single contact and then, it just start working and b) technical – since Voyager Edge pronounced the wrong name it means that it took it from somewhere, but definitely from the wrong place and this might require extra “efforts” from the Bluetooth receiver/transmitter, etc. This indeed may result in abnormal behavior of the devise and “eating” the battery. If re-phrase the title of S. Coppola’s movie – here we had “Lost in Bluetooth” case.
Cheers,
Max

Am guessing someone has a fix to this issue by now, if so let everyone know
if not i just tried a hack that seems to work. when facing crackling/distortion of audio on Note2 just switch on the WiFi hotspot and range seems to improve
hope it helps......plzz educate about downsides of this hack

SOLUTION OF BLUETOOTH DROPPING after 4.4.2 update
Yo !
I found the solution. No one has to downgrade Note 2 (N7100) to Jelly-bean in order to fix the Bluetooth range and WiFi dropping issue.
The fault is with the latest update from Samsung itself, May be it is a tactic to make people shift to the newer phones.(who knows) !
Anyway the solution to this problem is to Flash it with Odin it a previous release of 4.4.2.
In my case which is from the INU (India) region the release of August that is 29.08.2014 is a faulty update.
So i downloaded the older one and flashed it.. then everything worked perfectly as if the phone was new
Here is how to do it:- [BACKUP YOUR PHONE WITH KIES 3]
1. Check your version from *#1234#, Compare the version with Near August version of your Region. If it is same you better change it to get a way better performance.
2. Look up the earlier ROM version released from samsung-updated .com , http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7100&details=Galaxy_Note_2__International , I personally flashed it with the first version of Kit-Kat that came for note 2 in INU region. on the 8th April (08.04.2014).
3. Download ODIN http://www.mediafire.com/download/mbvtjub21ehsxrl/Note+2+Odin.zip
4. Install Samsung USB drivers http://www.mediafire.com/download/9qaqkld45387lzi/Skyrocket_GSII_ADB_Drivers.zip
[IF THE LINKS DON'T WORK then GOOGLE THEM AND INSTALL]
5. Power off your Samsung Note 2.
6. Hold Volume Down, Power, and Home Buttons at the same time. You will enter the ODIN DOWNLOAD MODE on your phone.
7. Press Volume up to Continue. It will Show "Downloading" "do not power off"
8. Connect your device to the PC where you have put ODIN and the md5 file (Firmware you want to flash with)
9. It will show connected to your device name on the top left of ODIN which means that it recognizes your device.
Click on PDA and select the firmware that u downloaded to flash Note 2 with.
It will lag for a few seconds but let it take its time.
When it is done. [Refer Image attached]
10. Press Start [It will take around 5 minutes, 3 minutes give or take]
11. It will Automatically Reboot your phone. Do not disconnect the USB cable.
After the boot is Complete ODIN will show a PASS on the left Side. Which means that the Flashing Process has been a Success.
If it shows fail then Repeat the process from STEP 6 all the way till STEP 11.
{ RECOVERY STEPS:- this will wipe all your data}
[Also, If device is Stuck at setup connection or on any other process, then disconnect your Note 2 from PC, close Odin, remove phone’s battery and put it back inside AFTER 5 seconds, press Volume up, Home key and Power key at the same time, When the Logo comes then Leave the Power button but keep pressing the other 2. Wait for it to show MANUAL MODE. Select Wide Data and Factory reset with Volume down and press power to continue, Then again wipe Cache.
Select Reboot . Now it should work perfectly.
CAUTION :- DO THIS AT UR OWN RISK.
Is this problem appears in official update? Want to update, but dont want any probs)
Yes the problem is with the official update. Better not update it till there is another update of it available.
I'm thinking this might have to do with Samsung dropping the Bluetooth version from 4.0 back to 2.0. I have no idea why they would do that but I've been wondering why my phone listed version 2.0 when the specs for this phone always said version 4.0. As you can see my debug screen shows it as version 2 and not 4.0. My Edge shows 4.0 on that same screen. I can't recall if older builds for the Note 2 had 4.0 listed but I believe they did and kitkat lowered it. Guess that's their trick to get people to upgrade, break things on our phones quietly...
