I also have an S6 Edge though? But I had no echo problem.
I suspect that the network issue is unrelated however. I remember when
I put a new battery in this handset that I initially forgot to remove
the SIM tray and may have damaged something internally that I am not
aware of
It does, occasionally, report āNo SIMā when I have just changed the SIM
so this would support my theory.
Iām definitely in over my head but I feel itās been a valuable learning
experience. I can always go out and buy a second hand S6 (or better)
that has e support and start again
Iāll give that contact a shout and see what comes of the conversation,
thanks.
Oh yeah right, S6 Edge, I got mixed up from another thread about the S6. This is even more confusing if it is the same device. I also opened mine to change the micro-usb port, so maybe our tinkering had an impact, who knows ?
So, I went to the link you gave me and I found that Johannes has already addressed this issue with another user. I feel kind of bad bugging him again when he assumes he has already dealt with it
I found this though and wondered if you might be able to figure out what needs to be done do I just open the existing file in an editor and search for the relevant part and substitute them?
I can always put the old one back in I suppose? Itās just, there are so many duplicate entries that itās difficult to know which āvolumeā is the one I need
I would appreciate your input after reading this post and, if itās the same place you copied your file from then we are back where we started
Thanks for anything you can offer
Yes, thatās exactly the reply I copied the xml file from, which allows to fix the echo issue. What I was suggesting is that you ask him which lines to edit for your loud call volume issue. In this post, I explain how to find which lines were edited for the echo issue, which yielded a file that lists the original and edited lines in order to compare them.
I suspect the loud call volume can be fixed by editing one of those lines in the xml file, but I donāt know which one. I will gladly try to help you with this in a few days when I have more time, but for now I have exams to revise.
Ok, understood, you have to get your priorities right
The post does open with this line though:
"Hi you can fix high volume problem or say echo by editing: /system/vendor/etc/mixer_paths_0.xml
Iāve used MTmanager app after rooted with magisk "
So I suspect he is aware that my problem exists
No rush, as I say, I donāt get too many phone calls anyway. My more immediate concern is why the network fails outside of my home.
I currently have a full signal marked āHā and am transferring data with WiFi switched off so the hardware clearly works! Itās very odd indeed.
If I may, I found this xda thread that mentions a Lineage 17.1 build for the Galaxy S6 (Zerofltexx) with SELinux set to enforcing. Maybe it could be a way to improve the security of the S6 build.
Hi there everyone,
I mentioned in another thread, which at the time I thought was this one, that my phone dialer fails after flashing the latest version of this ROM package (14)
I tried to downgrade to test it but that wouldnāt work, it flashed ok but the OS refused to open from the lock screen?
So, I went back to the V14 ROM and tied again. Still the same.
If I try to dial a number from the contacts I briefly see the dialer screen pop up and then it disappears. The call is set up and is successful however but i have no further control over it so, canāt hang up!
Iām beginning to think that, once again, my phone is special and no one else is experiencing this otherwise I feel it would be being talked about
I have a work around in place by installing Simple Dialer which works but is a little messy as it then drops me back into the original phone app and leaves itself open in the background. The call is terminated however which is good @itsclarence I wonder if you can shed any light on this behaviour or is my phone faulty? It all worked fine wit the last (first) release so itās disappointing.
Thanks again for your efforts and, hopefully, you can solve this one for me.
say, Iāve used it in the past but didnāt like the way it displayed
information in the call log:
So, it takes over dialling duties from the stock phone app and you get
the choice to revert to the old one if you want. I also use a
substitute launcher in this way.
Yeah @jpirie, I use the whole Simple Mobile Tools Suite, so also the Simple Dialer. However, I donāt get the apps from the G-Play-Store but from F-Droid.
In addition, Iāve deactivated the pre-installed TeleService aka ācom.android.phoneā at system level. The same applies to the SMS Message app aka āfoundation.e.messageā.
Slaps head Imaging thinking you didnāt understand what simple dialer was
Sorry, Iām not paying attention, of course you all do!
Iām the one who needs the help remember
So, in actual fact, the built in dialer/phone app provides me with the information I require to track my telephone calls. Although I get very few they are mostly all work related and I need to know when I was called to make up a time-claim at the end of the month. Is there an absolute need to disable it or can I run them in tandem the way they are at the moment without causing any issues?
As things stand, I can make and receive calls via simple dialer and then retrieve the time information via the phone app and all is (sort of) well
I also get my apps from FDroid where I can and only when that fails to provide the app I need, do I move out to the built in Apps store and, finally, aurora store.

Hi @Bryophytae,
I was not able to revert, well, I couldnāt get past the security login/fingerprint sensor after re flashing V13. I had previously experienced such things when initially jumping from the official build to this one where, after flashing the unofficial one based on Android Q my phone would not boot past the bouncing E logo.
I was advised at the time to wipe the phone during the flash process and it would work. It did, but I had to re install all my apps and I didnāt have the time to do that this time so I went back to V14 and installed Simple Dialer. It seems to work as Iāve already explained to @SuzieQ (unnecessarily) so, for now, Iām happy enough with this as a temporary solution.
A new build for the zeroltexx. Cooked with february security patch and on some updated repos from @enesuzun2002.
Unfortunately this rom isnāt builded with private keyās (yet)
Enjoyā¦
Hello, I am testing the āe-0.15-q-20210220-UNOFFICIAL-zeroltexxā rom.
I find it really great, but there is a big drawback, the applet application keeps stopping in a loop when you want to make a call
Greetings @steveoriol. This is a known issue with the default Android dialer that can be solved by installing the Simple Dialer from f-droid. Let us know how it goes.
