No Sound Issue

My Moto G4 Plus is facing a weird issue. No Sound from speaker and headphone or any other external device(tried almost everything). The microphone is also not working. My phone has zero sound.
I thought it was a software issue. Therefore, i tried all ROMS including Stock(Marshmallow & Nougat) and Custom ROMS. Unfortunately the flashing didn't fixed the issue. I thought it might be a hardware issue with speaker and mic but if it's a hardware issue, then why isnt there any sound in bluetooth, earphones, speaker connected with phone(tried aux and bluetooth both)
Pleasee help:crying::crying:

It's discussed before, and when someone (in different thread) tried to check logcat, it said /proc/asound/card is missing (something related to it).

In that same thread, i provided flashable zip for /proc/asound/ but it failed and didn't worked.

If possible, pull /proc/asound/, and upload it here, i just want to compare it with my /proc/asound folder and will try to provide solution...

Edit: tried to search, and came to know you can't mount /proc (or not known how?), And write to it not possible...

Hi read that thread. You asked that person if water went into his phone through headphones jacks. Around 2-3 months back few drops went into my headphone jack. The phone worked fine till 2-3 days back. Could it be because of that?

Yes it can, cause even after months water drainage can hurt your device components. I had this on several other mobile phones after days/weeks/months. Mostly you'll see it after disassembling.

Hi!

Since flashing Resurrection Remix (Oreo) I've been getting warnings about SElinux being set to permissive, every time I start my phone.
Should I be worried, if so what's the best way of enforcing SElinux?, also I'm not rooted

Its a new feature introduced by lineage is "Trust". You don't worry the RR developer is working hard to make the build enforcing.

 

[IronTechmonkey]

Not my device. This rom is heating so much. It's hot as hell. Also i have mobile connectivity issue, it is sometimes stopping work, i need to restart device or app. I will check it is my internet provider's problem or not

Off topic. Again: Please respect the topic of development thread and post that stuff here in general (regardless of who the device belongs to).

Hi guys, I saw there are two different threads about RR, the older one includes the tag [FINAL] and runs android 7.1.2 and the other runs 8.1.
Due to some issues with O distributions I'd like to use android N.
My question is: Is RR v5.8.5 receiving android security patches?


I have another question yet... (sorry for that )
What does AOSP and OMS stands for? What's the diference?

Your answer to RR 5.8.5: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...urrection-remix-n-5-8-0-t3507275/post76842001

OMS: https://www.xda-developers.com/layers-manager-is-being-deprecated-in-favor-of-substratum/

AOSP: the Android Open Source Project the source most of the custom roms out there.

Well sadly you were right xD. The speaker IC is damaged due to the water. I visited the service center today. They told me the will have to replace the whole motherboard for it, which costs 80% of the phone cost. :/

@Nithans,Just an FYI about that RR Nougat ROM. You might want to wait for the next version before trying it, or at least if you try it keep an eye out for excessive battery drain, and have a nandroid backup on hand. Reasons being: I've been considering testing something other than LOS 14.1 on my Athene xt1625 device so after seeing your questions and @strongst's reply I reviewed the OPs and last several pages of that thread to find reports of excessive battery drain and a reply from the developer about how some changes to the kernel may fix that in next build. I'm not saying you should not try it but do review the thread before doing so and make a nandroid backup first.
@strongst (or anyone else with experience with ROMs other than LOS), please correct me if I'm wrong about the battery drain in RR. Also, with the understanding that our usage scenarios may differ, are there any Nougat ROMs which you would recommend to try as an alternative to LOS 14.1 on Athene?

 

[Nithans]

@IronTechmonkey Yeah, in the last few days I've bein' testing a lot of custom roms but sadly I only have good battery life with stock, it's incredible that with stock I have like 42+ hours between a recharge and other but on LOS or RR (N version) only 8-12.
I've tested some kernels and AKT but it really hadn't worked
