        Microphone records slow and unclear (Recorder & WhatsApp)

        Speaker mode on calls: Microphone not working (Bluetooth speaker as well not)
        Formatting an sd card as internal storage returns with a Java error.

        Please contact me by email if you have any questions: me@leonard-niehaus.de

    1. Hi Kim, are you sure that it is not working? I am asking because in the official version of lineage, you have to enable “transfer files” when you pull down the status bar. (Device has to be connected to your computer to do this step.) I can not reach my hp either with my Galaxy s5 (official lineage) when the option “transfer files” is not enabled. Just in case you did not know that. It is of course possible that there really is a problem in this version, I have not tried it.
