I thought it relates to WiFi AP settings too. I changed my router and today noticed that auto connect is working again. Most autoconnect problems I have got with my home router and do not use another. Now need more time to test.

Thanks for the suggestion. Is this under settings>> location>> mode: high accuracy? or is this a separate app for this? Thank you!

Is there still develepment on ParanoidAndroid 4.0??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matoushybl:
Of course there is, right now they are working on HALO replacement. The old features weren't added yet because the team has decided to rewrite them completely. I've read that right now there are only few bugs in hybrid and I've seen a screenshot with PIE fom [MENTION=4243088]BigBrother1984[/MENTION].

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikodr:
Even if the final version has not been posted and despite the lack of usual pa features on beta five I think it is the best daily ROM for me.It is fast battery usage is very efficient and I enjoy my phone so much. And on art it is very fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luppolone:
Is there any update regarding GPS fix? Is anyone having issues getting a lock? Is it working as expected?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scissorscrush:
Alright so i have my beautiful nexus 4 and I'm really fed up with its battery life.. I want to try Franco kernel, paranoid android.. But i wanna be able to install the latest android version when it comes out... Now can anyone give me proper suggestion what can i do to improve the battery life (and not the battery saving app).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikodr:
Every time you want to flash a custom rom ,do a factory reset that is wipe cache data and format system partition.Wipe dalvik cache.Then install rom,let it charge through your usb till it goes to 100%.

After 2-3 full charges of the rom battery should be in optimal usage condition.

Note that 3g data is the biggest drain for battery as well as gps,it's better to turn 3g off when you don't use it,and disable data ,as well as to use only 2g,use the brightness control to have lower brightness whenever you can.

Do check what applications you use,there maybe one that makes the phone wake up or the sync of the data thas causes battery drain.

You have a nexus 4 but on my galaxy nexus with paranoid android beta 5 i can easily get 3 or 3,5 hours of on screen time and also i can get from 24-48 hours of standby.

And all this with stock kernel.I haven't used fancy (for me that is the best kernel) or franco (another very good one).

Do not interrupt charge,i always use usb charge and in fact i never enable fast usb charge,i always get good results.

I am pretty sure you can get similar results.I would not mess with voltages or underclock/overclock yet.If you manage to have best battery performance from the stock kernel default settings and you know you have no wakelocks or battery drains,then you can start to experiment with custom ones.

Also i have to admit that ever since i switched to art,battery seems to be better too.!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scissorscrush:
Good explanation and thanks for that. I use exposed so ART is out of question for me. I can get 48 hrs of standby very easily, my problem starts when I wake the phone and start using it. I don't get unnecessary wakes at all and that might be the reason I have best standby.

The 3g and gps, i know all that but my question starts,

1. will i be able to get better usable battery with any kernel?

2. Will i be able to restore to stock kernel by factory reset or nandroid (i have a backup from onandroid)?

3. Will i be able to upgrade to new version of android with custom kernel (I know OTA will not work)?

4. Will i be able to update gaps as usual?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikodr:
:)OK I think that

1) every kernel is different there are many options. According to your needs you should check and see what suits you better.a kernel that is good for someone could be nothing for another phone.

2) yes you can use nandroid backup to restore. Remember to wipe data cache and format system before and dalvik too. I always clean flash and never have any problems.

3) You can install ota upgrades and then install custom kernel and root but I would advice you not to..There is the danger of official update killing your custom recovery.Then you would have to install it from scratch and you would lose backups.

If you need custom kernel on stock or root you should first upgrade ota on stock and then install custom kernel and roit

4) if you mean official android then using gapps would be no problem.But why use stock anyway? If you need stock go install some custom ROM that is nearly as the stock.you really don't want to lose custom recovery . Except if you want to send phone to service where you need to install stock boot loader and lock it.

I jumped in on Beta 6 end dint seen any updates last week so from there the question if there is Anny development... I loved Paranoid on 4.3!!

Just a quick heads up for the people expecting a new release today. This was posted on PA's G+

"Sorry folks, no release this week. Also, apologies on the late update.﻿"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] royzlife:
I was on B3 and it was fantastic as daily driver.

I finally installed B6 - i wanted to try G Now.

Now battery becomes an issue with Google Now. So I stopped it - disabled all kinds of options from Google settings app and Google search app.

Now I find that still Google search uses max battery (upto 37%) even though I am not using it. Now, Locations, Search - everything is off.

I had to manually force stop the Google search app - monitoring now.

Any one else faced something like this?

Second issue I also faced in B3. When I pull down Notification panel, it always opens the Quick Settings side and not the usual Notification side. Any help for these?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Yes battery issues are concerning, not so sure it's a Paranoid issue, I'm leaning more on Google and their typical slow response to fix. There are official KitKat threads on battery consumption but I don't think anything official from google in terms of response. I thought Google Now was hogging but I noticed my screen is seriously chewing up time as were some apps like HD Widgets. I disabled most of the google stuff, including turning off auto-sync and only turning it on once a day. Bluetooth and GPS are also off. I've resolved the problems mostly with battery consumption also running ES Task Manager and killing a lot of apps running at startup. I don't have any problems with notifications. If I drag down on the left it's notifications. If I drag down on right it's quick settings. Not sure what's happening there.

What I'd like to know from people is what kernels they are running. I find that I am getting a lot of games FC'ing on me. On my N7 running the same version ROM I installed mkernel and it's resolved 99.9% of the FC's. Same ones I am having on my phone, but there doesn't seem to be an M-kernel for the Galaxy Nexus and last time I installed Franco's kernel I got a bootloop I don't care to experience again. So I'm wondering what kernel people are running and their success.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikodr:
I use greenify i recommend it.you wont have any battery problems.with xposed you can greenify even system apps.my battery life is great on pa beta 5 .i charge my phone evry two days.according to your specific usage you can get more or less. I have 3g off and sync too.i have minimum brightness and use most of the time wifi when possible. I am happy :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
I'll give it a go! Thanks!

EDIT: I asked about another kernel, not some application. Not interested in running an app to optimize my processes. I already do that myself. Thanks anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gabboplano:
Latest Franco.kernel (r395) is actually compatible with this ROM, I think you installed the older version which was giving bootloops on KK

Just try the new one if you want

Another good kernel for battery and performance is Tiny kernel, you can undervolt it even by -260 mV, I was petting ~4 hours of SOT with it

I could give Franco kernel another try but Tiny kernel sounds interesting.. Cool thanks for the info!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cdfreak:
You also van give DirtyV a try with the settings from Nephilin, getting verry good results like 3H ost & 19h battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Thanks for the info. I was looking at that kernel but in the end decided since I've paid for Franco kernel I'd take my chances and give it a try. So far no FC's anymore. Everything running smooth and stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andronexus:
Flashed the latest Beta 6 (been using PA JB 4.3 till now) and also the stock gApps package along with Franco kernel r395 and Beats + XLouder for KK and installed all the xposed modules that I love. And I'm happy to say that everything is working smoothly and I'm getting a whole days worth of battery and also never had even one FC or any other glitches till now. Been using everything I learned with JB and Fk and bringing it into this one as well and it has paid off. Loving my Gnex right now. Thanks to the PA team for all their hard work. Although I do miss the Phablet mode (hate Google for removing it completely... Wtf Google!!!). I know no one really finds it necessary. But after a bit of tinkering with the DPI settings and all, it crammed more stuff into my screen that I really liked having it. But still, no worries. Keep up the good work, people!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
O.O... does PA 4 already have DPI settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Godra:
Not yet, but you can change it in build.prop
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaluoshi:
Phablet mode will come along with hybrid, Google dropped tablet ui :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaluoshi:
Kinda a poll

Hi guys, i would like to collect the bugs you're facing on gnex to check out a couple of things, so please reply if you had some.

Don't report:

- Lockscreen blur issue (already known).

- Kernel side issues if you are using another kernel that is not google or default one.

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckyplanet:
Not sure how big of a problem this is but I have noticed that sometimes the alarm icon disappears from the top bar. Note, alarm still functions normally and the icon will show back up if you open clock --> alarms without editing any alarms. Just a little annoying to not know if alarm is set when the icon disappears.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coldblackice:
I'm still using 3.69 (4.2.2). I think it's about time for an upgrade :)

Can I backup all apps + data with Titanium Backup and restore them onto 4.4 Beta 6? Or is that going to make a mess of compatibilities?

Is there anything in particular I need to do or prepare in anticipation of the jump to 4.4? I seem to remember some root-level tasks one needed to do to pave way for 4.4, but maybe that was just in the earlier development stages.

EDIT:

I think maybe it had something to do with radios. I haven't touched/changed radios in ages. Might I need an updated/changed radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matoushybl:
Screen recording is not working.

Thanks for this amazing ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ci@cKi:
Well, for me (BETA6 + PA GApps 23-02) everything is almost perfect, the only two issues i've faced are:

- once you become developer in the settings you cannot disable it anymore (or at least, you can but the entry is always visible in the settings, and you can't reproduce the initial setup where there's no developer option activated but debug usb is on)

- when you reboot your phone the brightness is always at the top (even if auto detection is activated), only after turning off the screen everything is back to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andronexus:
I recently updated to KK. And Titanium backup works good for what you ask. But I suggest it best to install the apps again and do a 'data only' restore. I am not sure about app compatibility. I guess most apps are still the same maybe adding a bit more to be compatible with certain things in KK like ART, but still being able to run on JB as well. But thats just a speculation. But, as far as I know, all my app data migrated just fine. Just make sure you update all the apps. Then backup in TB and then factory reset + clean flash via CWM. As I said, best to do data only restore for all apps. (Apps like whatsapp already has a backup feature in its settings, so I suggest using it as its easier and safer). And as for the radios. There's a big thread with everything you need to know about it. You can find it on my signature below. Good luck.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AutomaticFailure27:
1] That's how it has always worked. Once you enable developer options, it's there.

2] The brightness is default like that also. Lux had the same issue but it's a saftey feature after boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
My advice is to upgrade to 3.97 and do not update to 4 betas until they obtain Hybrid.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coldblackice:
Thanks for the info. How have you been liking KK? How come you didn't wait for "hybrid" (as mentioned below), and what's the effect been?

Thanks for the tip. Any particular reasons why (wait until hybrid)? Just out of curiosity. And is hybrid just a dpi factor, or is it something more?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andronexus:
I've been loving it even if I'm missing hybrid a lot. I've been using PA for almost 2 years and I've been flashing it since before PA 3+ came out. Tried a few others too at the start of my android venture coming in from the iPhone but didn't like them that much. The reason I didn't wait for hybrid is that I've been dirty flashing JB since the first 3+ version and it kinda got to a point where I needed to clean flash it. Since the beta 6 came out I thought it was time I moved to KK. And not having hybrid was something I could live with. But it's temporary since they'll incorporate it back into the ROM soon (It's more of a combination of Phablet mode + DPI settings for me rather than just the one). Even if there are a few things that need to be sorted out on the feature side. The ROM itself is very smooth and working well. Overall I think Beta 6 might be the beginning of the ROM moving more into what everyone wanted minus major bugs.

And I think hybrid shouldn't be a major thing, for someone who has never used it before that is. If you have never used it then it isn't anything that will impact using the ROM. If you ask me it's good time to flash the ROM if you're thinking of a clean flash. I mean would you rather flash a smooth KK ROM or flash the JB ROM and install all the apps and then after a week or so just to clean flash again along with the odd 20 apps and games and other tweaks you use. Btw, you can just dirty flash as you go along from here so there's actually no need to wait.

PS. everyone misses the fact that their CWM needs to be updated to the latest for flashing KK, if they've never updated it since they flashed it when they got on the JB bandwagon.

Haha no, I was mentioning the way I used hybrid and DPI on JB. Not KK :P

Latest PA 4.1 Beta is now Officially putting back Pie Controls. So that's PA enough for you? Atleast read their G+ so that you know why the earlier builds are like that before hammering. Download is up now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coldblackice:
Did you even read the post(s) you were replying to? I'm asking why PA would be released without the core features it's known for, not what DPI is part of. Merely curious.

(i.e., referencing "Current betas are not PA at all" and "PA 4.0 Beta is so far close to clean AOSP. It has very less features.")

Good to know -- thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
So we should have waited until now to start releasing builds? Don't you think that there was a need to build a good foundation to begin adding new features? I find it amusing that everyone thinks those features were coded in one night....

The only small criticism I have with this rom is the maintenance of color to the ICS dialer (I think it would be better to use a white background with numbering dark: the issue for me would be more in keeping with the style of KitKat)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andronexus:
I am with Pirateghost on this. Its funny how people just expect things to be given to them for free just cos the developers take time to code and put in the work and also the precious time from their own lives. I mean, at least understand the fundamentals of the whole thing before all you people get angry or start accusing them of releasing builds without the PA features. Its not like it just falls out from the sky one fine night like manna from heaven or something!!! Its really only showing how stupid certain people are when they expect the PA developers to come out with new features in one night that aren't even coded natively into KK or even bringing back things into KK from the older version, that Google themselves have removed!! Be patient, people! They are doing this for the love of what they are doing. And we are doing this for the same thing. Its when you start thinking as if PA as some company like Samsung or Sony, and expect them to just be some sort of customer service people who need to do everything that you need, thats where you go wrong. They can just up and about stop making it altogether if they wanted saying that the Gnex is outdated and isn't supported officially by Google and stick to the newer Nexus devices. You should all be thankful just for the fact that they are still giving this device their time. Just be patient with them. At least they are coming out with weekly releases and slowly making bug-less incorporations of features every week or so, thereby making this stable by building it from the ground up slowly. Try to be understanding rather than come out and say that its not PA anymore and stuff like that!!!

As for anyone who is asking why its taking time to put in features and why the Hybrid modes and all are missing still, READ what google did to Kitkat and what all they removed from it from Jellybean and what all they added as well. You will understand then. Just think about it for a second, Why would they release PA it like this? why isn't Hybrid in Kitkat? Did Google do something to Kitkat that made it so that they weren't able to put all the PA features in? Think about it, do some research on your own and find out why. Even just reading through the threads will help cos these and more were answered more than once or twice by now. This is NOT a "make my phone neat & kewl" place. This is not some company that sold you something to be slaving to make you happy.

I am not sure if its just me but this seems a lot smoother than before for some reason. Used it for a few hours with the default kernel and also Franco's kernel. Everything is working fine and the Pie controls also seems to be working like it used to. Thanks again, mate. Loving how perfectly this is running on the Gnex and even better than JB used to. No more odd FC's anymore since I moved into this. Personally I think this will turn out to be the best PA to date within a few months. Might even be the most used of all the ROM's too.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coldblackice:
You've made this far more dramatic than it ever actually was -- you've both self-applied a tone of some self-entitlement out of thin air, when there was never any to begin with, whatsoever. I asked a simple question, which PG finally answered with "...there was a need to build a good foundation to begin adding new features". Bingo. That's all that was asked, and it was answered right there.

Sheesh, a bit quick to whisk up drama out of nothing. You literally pulled this "entitlement" thing out of thin air, at least as far as my question went.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elibl:
Totally agree :)

I've got a generally suggestion. You know that it's a bit time pending when you want to go several times back and always have to bring up pie... What about letting pie stay up for a second or so after pressing it? To allow multiple accesses. May it be worth a thought? Or would it break some fluency?

Just some thoughts of mine...
