Hi there,
I've got a problem since the last update (20160608): I cannot hear anything in calls no matter if I am called or if I call someone. When I use the headset or switch to loudspeaker everything works fine. The problem exists with several SIM cards. I tried rebooting, clearing cash of Google Playstore, Google Framework and Play Services. And I changed the volume to maximum of course.
Any idea how to fix that?
Thanks a lot for the support!
Well since it worked before the update it most likely is not a hardware defect. I guess the usual suggestion/solution would be a factory reset, or to re-flash the ROM, but before you do something like that you could give the following a try:
- go into EngineerMode by dialing *#*#3646633#*#*
- go to the tab "Hardware Testing", then Audio>Volume>Voice and select "Receiver" in the second field
- compare/change the values to these:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If your values do not differ from the ones shown, try to slightly change one of them and press "Set". Maybe this triggers a reset of the Receiver. Also turn the phone off and on again afterwards.
If this doesn't work, and if you don't find another solution, you should probably do a factory reset. Good luck!

Thanks for your help
Hello and thank you for your help.
However my values are the same as in the picture. Changing them and pressing set did not change a thing. This morning the fingerprint also broke. It does not recognize any finger and I am unable to set a new one. The sensor simply does not do anything. Turning on and off, rebooting did not help. I will try flashing Eragon and if it does not help I will try the tomrepair service. Any experiences with them?
Thank you
I have that same problems fingerprint scanner and phone calls. No one can hear me. I have to put it on speaker for a few seconds then turn it off. Even then. People still say they can't hear me. But this is on telephone c1 max.
I have the exact same problem with the ear-speaker.
Music one on the bottom works fine, so does bluetooth headset.
No sound during calls, others can hear me though.
I tried reseting the phone also.
I'm on the new Android 7.1 firmware. (http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-13393-1-1.html#.WUmUEGT1-SF)
I can't try the audio testing trick since a small part of my screen is not working either and of course it's exactly the the first item of the screen i can't select. I mostly managed by rotating the phone but test-tool does not allow rotation :S
I ended up getting mad and went out and got myself a new mobile (Not Elephone).
I loved the phone, but build quality is seriously lacking. Then again, it's priced accordingly.
I'm willing to test stuff if anyone has new ideas.
Same problem here, I have touchscreen problems (top of screen), audio call's problems and since last update of september, network settings problems (I must reboot my phone to take change of network state otherwise it restore his value after 2-3 min) and sim tray slot 1 doesnt work (must use slot 2)
I love the phone but the quality is not so good as other marks.
I also encountered the issue with the low sound in the voice call i tried to set the values that the picture showed and there is a small difference. Also any suggest to go higher with the values posted in the picture and what is the formula for increased in voice calls volume?

Hi,
I tried searching, but it's such an odd question that it is hard to find a word combo that results in efficient, but relevant search results lol
What I'm looking to do: use the Galaxy S "Fascinate" as a PMP/DAP and not activate it as a phone at all, basically just a Galaxy S Player. I specifically decided on this since it uses the Wolfson DAC and fit my budget!
The problem: the person I purchased the phone from had (understandably) wiped it clean before sending it. When powered on it goes right to the "Press 'Send' to activate your phone" which only allows me access to "EMERGENCY CALL" / "SEND" options.
The question: How can I boot the phone into Airplane Mode, or bypass the Activation screen (either permanently or temporarily so I can then turn on Airplane), so I can then use it as a PMP?
If you need any info, please ask, I'll provide all I can with what I have! I do have a USB cable for it at least! If that'll help any...
I got a Fascinate 2 weeks ago for the same purpose (works great, I might add). When I got it it booted into safe mode the first time (no clue on that, it was new to me). I put my google credentials in then. The next time (I think) it came up with the emergency call thing. What I can't remember is if it said anything about activating. I just went through, set things up, played for a day, then rooted & rommed it.
Where Verizon doesn't do sim's I think you will be safe to keep going after the activation screen. It will spin it's wheels for 30 seconds then keep going. It won't be on their network since you didn't call Verizon, so oh well. I keep it in airplane mode with wifi toggled on & no shortcuts to the dialer anywere.
I am using Skankwhich's CM9 rom. Using Titanium I have frozen a bunch of stuff with no ill effects, including: setup wizard, talk, voice search, various live wallpapers, apollo, com.android.smspush, email, exchange services, sms/mms pref...(it goes off the screen), pico tts, rom manager, sound recorder, voice dialer, vpn dialogs. There is more that can be frozen. I haven't finished messing with it.
Do not freeze [voicemail] phone, or sms/mms/apn phone/messaging storage, or contacts. You might not need them but bad stuff happens.
Good luck & enjpy!

I'll definitely have to go ahead and give that a go. I figured it was actually calling the network heh
EDIT: Well it had started calling after I got signal, so I canceled it quick lol But then I remembered you had powered off and back on (first I found out holding power brings up an option menu which included Airplane Mode), so I did that. Powered back on and HORRAH! It booted right into the main Android screen ^_^
Thanks again, no telling how long I would've sat on that screen lol
No problem. Have a fascinating time!

Hi everyone,
I've just moved from my trusty LG G6 to a new SAmsung S9 Plus UK version (Exynos 9810) and so far I'm pretty happy, love the screen, the responsiveness and it's a lovely looking phone although slippery as a fish without a case, managed to find a good case/screen protector combo but took a while. Have gone for the Whitestone Doma which is an awesome screen protector but was really frustrated to get bubbles in the glue which shouldn't happen..
Anyway Its only really day 3 or 4 and I realise things may change in time but have some observations and wondered if anyone here could help please.
1) Standby drain, seems like many people have this so have downloaded Package Disabler Pro for Samsung and I am experimenting but its not anywhere near as good as my G6 at the moment. Guess this is trial and error but have already disabled much of the Samsung stuff, I'm a little apprehensive when it comes to system packages though as you never know if its going to mess things up completely.
2) On both the AOD and in the android shutter if I get 2 notifications from an app, they both show separately, I have a Xiaomi camera and if I get more than one alert of movement all notifications are separate and I wanted to know how to nest them so it only showed me once that I had notification for that app.. (hope that makes sense) cant find any way to do this. This isn't the problem of double notifications as I've seen but I hope you get what I mean.
3) LG has a built in service called Smart Settings which basically says things like if you go out of your current location turn Wi-fi off , when you get back into your location turn wifi on, if you start this app, turn on bluetooth, if you plug in headphones start this app.. etc..
It appears theres nothing like that on Samsung so could anyone recommend a 3rd part app that may help me achieve this as I miss it.
4) Does anyone know if S9 Plus will get 8.1? or will it go straight to P..
5) Forgot to add, I have a different photo viewer installed, I use F-Stop but for some reason in the camera app when you take a picture and press the gallery button it always defaults to the Samsung gallery app. Does anyone know how this can be changed please?
Thanks for listening guys, any help appreciated.
Wayne
1. Give it a couple of weeks for the system to settle. Just use it as it is without disabling any apps.
2. I don't know if you can do that system wide. I know some apps have that option.
3. Try LLama
4. No idea
5. Open settings and search for "default"
There you should be able to set default apps
I've provided a screenshot so you can see how it looks like
Hope it helps

Hello my dear friends. My Poco F1 fell to the ground and since then, it never was the same.
When I try to record an audio, the phone says that another app is already using it. So it doesn't record anything. No audio is played on my phone anymore, when I go to the ringtones and click on the rings to hear them, it says ERROR in the screen as a toast message.
I've thought it was a Faulty USB board, then I bought another one (well the microphone is located in there). But no success, changed the board and nothing happened. I've put back the original USB board and booted the phone, tried to plug and unplug headphone and it suddenly started playing sound again on speaker. And then I could record audio on the recorder app again, but not straight, I had to click on record (no spectrum change), pause and resume recording and then the microphone would start working.
Just checked the MB cable that links MotherBoard to the USB board on the bottom and it looks flawless, just tested continuity on every pin with multimeter and all traces are OK, so it's not the issue. Also I just went to the headphones and audio effects under additional configs and it crashes, I'm guessing this is an issue with the Headphone Jack port.
I find this really issue odd and don't know how to fix it, i'm out of ideas. Please does anyone have any other ideas of what could be causing this problem?
Thanks!
Some pictures to better illustrate the problem:

This happened once to me because "ok google" hotword detection was hogging the mic so maybe double check that it isn't some software bug, go into permissions and turn microphone off for everything etc.

No, not at all, I turned all permissions off, except for the recorder and nothing happened. No one else?

Hello.
I have no idea where to put this topic, since I can't find anything related to it here. My apologizes if it's in the wrong section.
Anyone here with a TCL (Alcatel) phone with Android 10 who might be able to help ? Whenever I get an incoming call, the second I try to answer the call by swiping up, the screen locks and gives me NO possible way to answer it. Bought this phone in the Netherlands at the Mediamarkt nearly two months ago and all they tell me is to RMA the phone. Which, of course, is a F/Y-way to sother me off because they have no idea what to do.
I have the Alcatel (TCL) 3X 2020.
Tried to find the option 'tap to swipe', but it seems my phone doesn't even háve the damn option (my old Huawei P10 Lite with Android 8 does have that option though).
I've sent two tickets to TCL for help on this matter. The first ticket was closed while being unanswered, the second ticket is still open but also unanswered. It's almost as if they have NO idea what to advice.
Thing is, this also happens when I do a factory reset and wipe everything off the phone, the second after I finish the installation. So this is not caused by a third party app.
Just to clarify, the phone does NOT have a screenprotector and this happens both while in a case or just laying on my desk without a case.
Thanks in advance. This is really annoying, since I have no way to answer ANY incoming call

Well based on the image you posted it almost sounds like the proximity sensor isn't working...
The proximity sensor would cause the phone to go dark when on a call because it thinks the device is being held to your ear. The directions given in the image seem to indicate that it thinks the sensor is being covered. The problem with this theory is that it should only happen if you are on the call. In this scenario, the phone would ring, be answered and the screen would go dark. However based on your statements the call is not answered in which case the screen shouldn't go dark.
What happens when you make an outgoing call? Does the screen stay on until you put it to your ear? Does the screen immediately go dark? If you make an outgoing call and the screen stays on and you cover the red portion of the screen as shown in your image, does it then go dark?
I would try to use the phone in Safe Mode. This will rule out a bad app. Since this device was a replacement there could be an app that isn't compatible but got installed anyway. Running the phone in Safe Mode will prevent other apps from running or starting in the background. Hopefully this is the issue as it will be the easiest to solve. These are the directions for how to get your device in Safe Mode... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...touch-fierce&usg=AOvVaw1oz05btVelgo28bImiv_y5
Let us know your findings...
Hello,
I am new to the forums, so apologies if I break any rules and/or make mistakes.
EDIT: (I did try to search for this issue, but I don't know what it is, thus, unable to see other posts with the same issue, apologies once again)
I have a issue with my Sony Xperia X (f5121), its been updated to Android 8 couple years back, but there has been an issue since, its bugged me, but have never sought to find out or even ask until now.
I've added three pictures, one to show my phone details, second to show the home screen, and third picture is the actual issue I am faced with.
Before I delve into this, I will point out any common details with this handset:
Brand/Model/Memory = Sony Xperia F5121 (32GB)
Sim Lock = No - (UNLOCKED via code) - Previously locked to EE U.K
Country = U.K
Bootloader unlockable = No - can not be unlocked on this handset sadly
Android Version = 8.0
Okay, now the issue, there is a small portion of the screen (top part) that becomes fuzzy with lines, this happens before the lock screen appears, in order for me to unlock the handset via a pin:
(PHONE SCREEN OFF > PRESS POWER BUTTON > FUZZY SCREEN APPEARS (2-5 seconds delay) > LOCK SCREEN APPEARS > SWIPE TO ENTER PIN > HOME SCREEN ACCESS)
I am unsure what it is, but its been like this for about three years. This unknown issue happens and lasts anywhere between or about 2-5 seconds max, but the phone still functions perfectly well otherwise.
I've run the phone system tests, under developer mode, and everything reports back okay.
Therefore, I know this is not a screen issue, as it looks to be software related, perhaps the OS??
I don't install or own many apps, I have booted into safe mode, and the problem still persists, again none of the apps even uninstalled are causing this problem, I've reset the phone but again no avail, both soft and hard resets attempted.
Hence, if anyone has any insight as to what this is and if I should be worried about it, then please do let me know, as that would be super, the phone has been looked after really well since I got it on release from EE U.K in 2016. its just this issue thats now starting to make me wander what it is, and whether anyone else has faced such an issue with this particular handset, please do kindly let me know, bearing in mind this phone can not be modded in any way (Not looking for a fix, but any insight into this problem), seeing as the bootloader even if set to unlocked, will not permit me to actually load any modded ROMS etc onto it ( I googled this back in the past, so not at all upset as the current OS allows me to get to do what I do daily ;-))
Thank you
Best Regards,
TJ
