Yeaaahhhh... Like every month... Keep it up... :good:

Thanks a lot for the monthly update! That Build runs perfect for me as a daily driver since a long time... But hey, is there a possible way to update without a "new install", kinda update only the system, without touching the apps and settings?
Otherwise I update with a "new install" and do all the apps install and settings after this. Its not something for evry month, but from time to time...

This bug is mostly related to the "Ok Google" voice detection, it's known since over 2 years. I played around long time ago, because i noticed that my Galaxy S4 ( LOS 14.1, LOS 15.1 ) never had problems with this feature enabled. I replaced the values in build.prop for my Z3C and the microphone doesn't mute anymore during calls.

Changes i made:


1st:
for enabled "Ok Google" voice detection without
microphone bugs during calls

from

# Audio config
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true
persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=false
persist.audio.fluence.audiorec=true
persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false
persist.audio.handset.mic.type=analog

to

# Audio config
audio.offload.disable=1
persist.audio.fluence.speaker=true
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true
qcom.hw.aac.encoder=true
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence
use.dedicated.device.for.voip=true
use.voice.path.for.pcm.voip=false

2nd:
for a certified device with the correct fingerprint

from

ro.build.fingerprint=Sony/D5803/D5833:6.0.1/23.5.A.1.291/2769308465:user/release-keys

to

ro.build.fingerprint=Sony/D5803/D5803:6.0.1/23.5.A.1.291/2769308465:user/release-keys


3rd:
for enabled Google Assistant

ro.opa.eligible_device=true



I provide you my modified build.prop, backup your original build.prop, reboot to TWRP, mount system, and replace the file. Don't forget to set permissions to 0644. Remember, this build.prop is only for the latest release of .:B:.'s ROM, 07/12/2018 i believe.

You must do this in TWRP, advanced - file manager when you use Magisk root solution - replacing the file with a root explorer doesn't have an effect, because the system is mirrored trough Magisk. When you use addonsu ( LOS root solution ) you can replace the file directly with an root explorer.

The same changes can be done on any custom ROM ( Nougat and higher ) for the Z2, tested.

Thank you so much for this fix, I modified the build.prop manually and my phone calls work perfectly now, even when I turn ON the speaker. What doesn't work is phone calls with the Whatsapp app, they can't hear me. Do you know what I can do to fix that?

You're welcome.

Sorry, but i very rare used WhatsApp calling, but i remember that there was never a problem with it. Before or after i modified the build.prop. Maybe a simple reboot or reinstall WhatsApp can help, give all required permissions to WhatsApp and please try again.

The time has come, i switched to the official LOS 16.0 for our sweet little Z3C.

I just want to say thanks to you, for sharing your knowledge, your time, and your enthusiasm with bringing Android Nougat to our device. I wish you the best for your future and your real life, and i'm proud to be a part of this great community.

Thanks,

Wait, what? The Z3C once again has official builds? And meanwhile the Z5C, which recently had official builds not only is abandoned, but all old builds were deleted (gee thanks.) I really can't figure out what is going with LineageOS...

Oh well. It's really nice to see an official build. This unofficial ROM build has actually truly been a life saver every time I was forced to pull out my old Z3C with the broken back (drives me insane) as my main driver was broken or otherwise down. The Z3C really is a good device, though lately I've been having more and more signal quality issues with it versus everything else. Maybe an official LineageOS build will solve that *fingers crossed.* Either way though, definitely we have to offer our thanks for this ROM tiding us through all this time.

How is the battery duration on LOS 16 compared to 14.1 on the z3c? I have been hearing some people saying it's awful, is that true? I have been wanting to switch but battery duration is very important for me. Thanks!

Where did you hear that it's awful

 

[martinsegura84]

Where did you hear that it's awful

On Reddit, official LineageOS subreddit. Lots of people complaining about the battery (with different devices), is it not true for the z3c?

Battery life is great in official LOS 16.0 - on all my devices with CFWs. Doesn't matter if it's a Sony, a Samsung or whatever device, and it was in LOS 14.1 and LOS 15, all CMs since Android 2.3.7 too. I never, really never understood what a lot of people are doing with their mobiles. In my opinion in 99,9% is a "bad battery life" the user's fault.

Use naptime or leandroid or whatever to shut down WiFi, mobile data and location when your phone isn't in use, use diagnostic apps like better battery stats or gsam battery monitor to find and eliminate potential power suckers. That's all. And your battery will be your friend.

I charge my device during night, going to work, some calls, some WhatsApp, Maps, HotSpot for my navigation device ( SGS4 LOS 16 ), GApps Super installed, 170 apps, Magisk with fbind. During this time - maybe 12 hours - i lose about 30% akku. I'd come 3 days with one charging cycle, but at home i play around with the device, so i must charge at night.

Finally - battery life in official LOS 16 for our Z3C is good as stock. Nothing more to say. :angel:

SOT from 100% to zero about 4,5 - 5 hours, original 1st akku. In the Z3C.

Thanks for the reply. It's good to know that it works fine, I think I'm convinced to make the switch.

You won't regret it. :good:
