[Q] During audio/video playback the volume rocker and back button DO NOT WORK - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. the volume rocker button and the Back button do not work during any kind of audio/video playback. They function properly once I stop or pause the playback.
I can not get to the bottom of this since I uninstalled all xposed modules and apps that I think might have been causing this. I am running the "ERA project mod" along with viper4android. I know for certain the butons had been working with these mods running. I have no idea what happened
Any advice is appreciated

What I would advise you, is to make a proper backup, then wipe the dalvik cache, cache, system, reinstall the ROM and then try to put back the backup.
See if its working, if not, maybe one of your modules, when you uninstalled it, it messed with some files.
But I still think the first step is to backup your files and do a clean install.

Thanx for your suggestion...
Surely that would be my last resort.
I'm actually trying to avoid that and see if anyone with a similar problem actually found out what's causing it and found a way to remedy it.
It would also be great to actually know how to prevent it from happening in the future. Right now I have no idea thus I may run into the same problem after re-installing ROM

[Q] turns to silent automatically

hi i have an htc one x obviously
it goes to silent mode on every rom i used viperx cm10 arhd insetcoin etc...
i guess its from an app because i had it recently about a week ago ?
and am on stock kernal i guess because i haven't changed it but am gonna after fixing this issue so any tips this is driving me crazy plz help
Do you use Tasker?
Could be a profile you set.
Also try to remove any recent apps you have added, do this one by one until you see the problem disappear and you will have found your culprit.
Or you could try:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silent_time_android
And set it to turn on silent at certain times such as midnight till 7 am?
This could help re-configure the way your phones goes on silent and may get rid of the problem?
Finally, if your rooted try wiping the dalvik cache etc, maybe a hard reboot etc etc.
Hope I helped.

Your welcome mate.
Okay so tasker isnt the cause
I do highly recommend removing apps one by one and seeing is it carries on, remove the most recent first and work downwards.
Well a hard reboot is basically a factory restore. Which should be your last resort as it will remove all of your data.
Perhaps try another ROM/Kernel as another last resort also.

ok ill try to find it by removing apps
can games also be a problem or only apps ?
Anything that you have personally installed could cause a problem. But I would say it is more likely an app than a game. Try to think of apps that requested most permissions, or that you think may interact with the sound settings.

Can't Access Task Manager with Home Button Anymore

I can no longer hold home to get to the task manager. Holding down home does nothing now and I can't figure out why or what I could have done to cause this. Restarting doesn't fix it. Anyone know how I can restore this function without reflashing? The last thing I did was install Xposed Framework with modules 'App Settings 0.4' and 'xMulti Window Mod 1.3' so I'm thinking that's what caused it but I'm not sure why.
ROM: Tweaked 2.4.1
Kernel: Stock
Your best bet is to try and disable the new modules in xposed. Or disable xposed all together Then reboot..... also there's nO need to post in multiple threads. Patience

Disabled the two modules and rebooted. That fixed it. Re-enabled them, rebooted, problem came back. Double checked and the modules are configured as instructed. Everything on my phone seems fine and working great except this one little issue and it's an annoying one. I don't want to give up this MOD so there must be a way to isolate this but I must admit I'm lost.

Weird issue with unknown sources installs

I've noticed on my gpe when I go to install an apk I've downloaded, I can't press install. It's not grayed out or anything, it's just not responding to the press. It's fixed by a reboot. Only mods I've made are gravity box and the optimized dalvik and bionic libraries. Any ideas why this is happening?

Turn off Lux, Screen Adjuster and other 3rd party color settings apps, I know it sounds dumb, but just do it. Then run the APK again. Install should work again.
How weird. Thanks

[Q] [URGENT HELP] Nothing is working!

I have a HTC Wildfire S, rooted, with an AOKP rom.
One day, my phone was running slow, so I rebooted into recovery and cleared dalvik cache and system cache. I rebooted the system and absolutely NOTHING is working. after I unlock the phone, a bunch of processes stop working. Pressing the home button makes Nova Launcher crash. I have since uninstalled it, and still nothing is working.
I can't even turn the phone off using the power button. The only way I can shut the screen off is by removing the battery manually.
EDIT: I tried a factory reset, and it's still the same as before. NOTHING is working. I can go into Settings, that's about it.
A list of apps that stop working:
Link2sd
facebook
outlook
yahoo weather
google.process.gapps
nova launcher
swiftkey
superuser
ETC..
I have attached pictures so you guys can have a sense of what my problem is. Sorry if the pictures are blurry, I had to use my Ipod touch to take them.
Sorry If i have made any errors in this thread. I am new here, I just created an account right now so I can find some help to solve my issue.

Reflash or flash another rom.

Thanks @Guitarfreak12 and @aWFSuser
I did what you guys said, and I reflashed the same ROM and everything is working fine. The only downside, although, is that I have had to re-install all my apps again.
Also, would you guys know what caused the problem? I'd like to know so that I can ensure it doesn't happen again in the future.

Did you had a lot of applications installed and linked along with dalvik to sd-ext?
Then after clearing the cache on reboot the dalvik files will regenerate in the /data partition if there are a lot of apps and the /data overflows then your apps will stop working without the dex files. And clearing the dalvik cache usually doesn't help in increasing speed.........next time you should go into link2sd and use the "clean dalvik cache" option there.........

This actually happens because Link2SD can also link dalvik cache files as well, what the recovery must have deleted would be the symbolic links that the Link2SD script creates, so next time if you want to clear the dalvik cache, use the option found in the Link2sd app
Alright so it seems, instead of using the dalvik cache cleaner on recovery, I should just use the one located in Link2sd. I'll be sure to do that next time to ensure that no problems persist.
Thanks for all the help!

Volume up issue

I have a oneplus 3 with latest Oxygen os 3.2.4 installed
This was happening even before the update I thought 3.2.4 would fix it but it didn't.
So the problem is
Whenever I connect anything to my 3.5mm jack like aux or earphones. The volume is around 50-60%. I try to press volume up button and the phone gets locked. Black screen. Unlock it and it says additional security required, fingerprint won't work at this time. It doesn't reboot it just locks itself. Nor does the volume go up. Sometimes the home screen wallpaper gets reset to Never Settle stock wallpaper. To increase the volume I tried apps that give on screen volume buttons but even in that and even in poweramp volume knob if I try to increase volume; Phone locks. Asks for additional security and doesn't even increase the volume. This isn't a small thing for me. I use earphones and connect to my car aux on daily basis so I need a solution. Not looking for a factory reset don't want to lose data and don't want to get into backup and restore hassle. Please help. And is anyone else facing this issue?

Well, I din't faced any issue like this before. Assuming this is a software issue, I suggest you to sideload OOS 3.2.4 Signed Zip[1.4 GiB] even if its not fixed, then it might be a Hardware issue.

I forgot to mention I'm rooted so that's how I update every time, by flashing the 1.3gb update. 2-3 people have reported the same issue. I tweeted oneplus about this and they say they're familiar about this issue and have forwarded it to the rom team. They tell me to flash previous OS. How do I do that?
Flash Signed OTA 3.1.2

Then flash the first stock SIGNED OTA OOS 3.1.2 and then test if volume up is working if it is then update via OTA it may disable ROOT. After a series of OTA updates, you reach 3.2.4 . Then Flash TWRP and then Super SU zip

Yes, make sure you backup all the data including a nandroid backup and internal storage and store it on your PC. -> Flash Zip -> reboot (good to go...)

Successfully downgraded to 3.1.2 but still facing the same issue.
Trying update via OTA now.
3.2.4 now back again. Same issue. This is very bad. Probably have no choice than to wait for oneplus to fix this
Finally got it fixed. I gave a thought on why this could be happening and then I thought about the loud volume safety notice that appears when you try to increase volume.
So I added this to build.prop using build.prop editor from play store
Just add: audio.safemedia.bypass=true
And boom. The problem is solved. Thank god
same issue in my phone
Please help, can someone fix it without using rooting please? i have the exact same problem

Hi,
Sorry to hear that you are facing this issue. There is this feature of drawing over apps (screen overlay) in your mobile device
Navigate to settings>apps
Click on the gear button at top right position then click "draw over other apps".
Then at the second top line you will see a dropdown (enabled is auto selected) click there to choose "apps with permission" from the dropdown.
Now you will see the list of apps with permission. Click on the menu button (3 dots at top right position), choose "show system".
Click on all the system applications one by one e.g. click on "system ui" application and then allow "permit drawing over other apps"
Repeat this for all the system apps and the application you were using when the glitch was faced.
Now your volume increase operation should be functioning normally.
More info:
The increase in volume displays a warning dialog that "increasing the volume might damage hearing ...."
This dialog popup is displayed over any application you are using (actually uses the function of drawing over other apps)
If the system app is not allowed for "drawing over other apps" then the warning dialog is not able to display itself, causing the volume increase operation to fail which results in malfunction.
Now while installing certain apps you might face the issue that "screen overlay is enabled" and will not allow you to install tgat app.
For this issue temporarily remove the permission of drawing over other apps for the apps and system apps that have the permission, following the same navigation path and then install the application.
Once you are done installing the application you can revert back your permission of "drawing over other apps" function for apps you want to use.
Thanks.
