Does 4G work yet? Or is it still broken?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoblox:
4G is phenomenal on this ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
So something happened last week and SMS has been broke for me since 7/3ish.. Tried old ROMs.. Still not working. No inbound messages and any I try to send just fail.. Any ideas of things to check?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
No problems with SMS on my end, running 7/3. No suggestions though, on what to try.

PS: just installed 7/9, and SMS works for me there as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoblox:
Any fixes for volume in 7/8 or 7/9?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Not a definitive proof, one way or the other, but I just searched through the last couple of days of commit info:

http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#/i605/

and didn't find anything for sound or volume (except for one reference to "volume" as a memory storage unit). On the other hand, following some of the hints in previous posts I find the in-call volume for the built-in earpiece to be adequate, if not mind-boggling. The main thing seems to be to set "Settings / Advanced settings / Audio / In-call audio volumes / Earpiece" to 60%. But there were a bunch of other hints, too. I don't think I've really applied any of those (installing alternate kernels, turning volume down and then up again while in-call, etc).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
So, I think I found out what happened... but it's odd. So, like over a month ago, I pulled my sim out and put it in an ipad 3 so I could get data on it temporarily.. for like an hour. I put the sim card back in my phone, things were fine. Well, last week, as I mentioned, no SMS messages were coming thru and my wife told me whenever she tried txt'ing my cell she got a message back saying I could not receive messages. I just logged into my vzn account and it still shows the ipad being active on my line with 'block all messaging' enabled, which I can't remove. So, what I am thinking is CM does not have that vzn service or whatever enabled that 'phones home' to update the device that your SIM is using, thus it thinks I am still using the ipad which doesn't support txt messaging, thus the block. I guess it took a month to finally crap out once the end of my billing cycle came up...

Has anyone experienced this or know a way around it other than returning to stock? Somehow in my screwing with it today LTE won't work anymore.. only connects to 3G... fml :-\
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chadastrophic:
In the future I'd just tether the iPad to the phone. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrMuzik:
I think 4G is bad across the 3 CDMA variants. Doesn't work on sprint or us cellular either :-\
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
Yes. Thank you...Lil

Unfortunately it was when ril was effed and tethering wouldn't work :(

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

Its been fine on mine.. Til today anyway...not sure what I screwed up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Arghhh, what a mess. Other than trying to revert everything to stock, which seems like an alternative of last resort, you might try calling vzn support... errr, never mind. What was I thinking?! Probably easier just to switch carriers. Maybe move to another country. Go into a witness protection program? Hope that somebody steals your identity so you can invent a new one....

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

Likewise here. 4G is good for me. Not sure what the problem is for MrMuzik. I just turned off wifi, and ran speedtest, it says I've got 14099kbps down, which ain't too shabby.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fudlen:
Had something kind of similar with sms and weak data but I had swapped my sim into a gs3. Ended up going to vzw and they gave me a new sim. Didn't work still at first but wiped multiple times including system and then flashed a tw rom and it was finally back to normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eBoody:
no fixes yet. Buuuuut Shangrila helped a bunch of us out by posting his Stweaks profile and it effectively fixes the issue. In-fact ive had to lower the volume setting because they were so loud. Ill defer you to my previous post. I was so excited hahah I had been disappointed with the results of AOSP roms till now. I blame samsung and their proprietary drivers policy. and their stupid chipset..lol Hopefully the note 3 will have the snapdragon800. but i digress:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43224678&postcount=1473

in there youll see a couple of CM10.1 settings to change, and the link to shangrila's post.

In addition, after flashing plasma kernel, punch these settings into Stweaks. Ive been getting battery life thats better than the battery life i had been getting on beans18 while i was on it. Also the performance has been really zippy. After you do these couple of steps, i dont think youll be disappointed.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] termleech:
Looks like there is a bunch of RIL fixes coming in the next nightly. Was just looking over the github. Anyone know what time the nightlies usually roll out? I can't tell what timezone the get.cm site is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eBoody:
The past 3 have been released at 7:30 UTC +- 10mins
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
I think that the RIL changes are smdk4210 related but I could be wrong. There's nothing t0lte specific mentioned though like there is for other devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] termleech:
Oh damn that's right, I keep forgetting we aren't the smdk4210 stuff. My bad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
Correct and they are only the gsm variants too I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoblox:
Time and again the devs have asked us not to report issues or expect fixes on CM ROMs without CM official kernels that come baked into the ROM. I'm sure volume will be worked out soon enough on the default CM kernel.

Edit: To clarify, I don't feel that using a different kernel is a fix. It's more like a band-aid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eBoody:
I don't understand...I didn't report a problem or expect a fix. I was merely providing a fix.

We're you referring to who I was replying to?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DevilStrider:
Where can I find this stock rom by beans? I have been searching this forum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nate14:
Here's his stock, rooted rom from the latest OTA.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
some changes were merged that should fix a bug when setting audio levels in advanced settings. Anyone on the newest nightly having audio issues? If so can I get a logcat and please do a volume up/down because that will show me the levels in the log.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
So I got my SMS working again.. As mentioned, I dreaded calling vzn so I had a hunch that if I swapped sim cards again (inactive in phone and active in iPad) and let it reregister, power them both down, remove cards from both, power back up, power down, then put cards back where they should go, it might fix my issue... And it did. Phone shows up correctly on vzn page and I was able to then remove txt block and that's all good...

But.. I still have no LTE and this odd encryption problem.

As far as LTE, it won't ever connect using it.. 3g/1x only. Unless I go into phone test menu and set to LTE only in which case I show no signal but data does work and LTE is connected based on speed test (sorta like ril issue awhile back). No combo of band/connection settings in phone test or data options in settings fixes this. I have the feeling that my dicking around with it the other day jacked something up and there is something I will have to set manually in settings.db that the GUI won't let you select.. Can anyone share that?

For encryption issue, I had my phone encrypted awhile back on the night lies..internal only not SD. I decided to decrypt a month or so ago for several reasons so I wiped data and started from scratch with nightlies and all was good. Well the other night when trying to fix data issue, I tried flashing 2 other stock like ROMs and even after wiping all partitions (except efs and firmware of course) it would prompt me on boot for decryption key even though phone isn't really encrypted .. Old key wouldn't even work. So I reloaded cm nightly and was fine again. My thought is there is something cached in efs part or something that when mounted by stock ROM makes it think its encrypted when its not, but obviously I didn't want to **** around with efs part to try and fix it. Another odd thing is in TWRP when I go to wipe, it shows two 'data' partitions, but using file explorer in twrp, there is only one data part, again making me think some crap isn't fully wiped from when I had phone encrypted..

Sorry for thesis, just frustrated and can't find anything that works on xda or el Google...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
The issue is there is no fix for the real issue and we are having to use a band-aid for the time being. The band-aid is better to me anyway though.

And no one was reporting any issues whatsoever, they just asked if I had been fixed and then the person who responded provided a temporary fix. Why act like they were posting a bug when they weren't?

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

You could try using Odin to go back to stock or using the second option in the Wipe menu in TWRP that you have to type yes for it to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
Haven't tried Odin yet but I did do wipe and format in twrp but its not fully wiping apparently..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Well that most definitely sucks arse....

Did you update to VRAMC3 before unlocking?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmbfan13:
Can someone try and explain to me why every time I send a text message, my signal gets killed. I lose my whole signal for a couple of seconds, then it comes back. It's like this on all AOSP roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrMuzik:
User error? Bad flash? Bad device? Bad recovery? Unclean wipe? Could be anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
Nah.. I unlocked when I got phone originally.. Back in December I think? I installed MC3 when it came out.. About end of may. Everything had been fine til this iPad sim switch I did.. Another reason to hate apple.. Not that its related, but still..lol.

Last night I tried many combos of switching radio bands, downgrading radio, trying a wipe with cm recovery instead of twrp... No progress. Still no 4g and any ROMs I flash other than cm nightlies prompt me for encryption key at boot when its clearly not enabled. Even tried doing *228 op 2 for prl update (which shouldn't have worked.. But appeared to do something as recording ran for awhile, then said successful and radio went offline/online) but issues persist..

I have a new NFC sim coming in today... Hopefully between that and using Odin to go stock I can make some progress this weekend. Might try qxdm/qpst tool tho first to see if there is some setting obviously wrong in baseband...unless anyone else has other suggestions..

*sigh*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Well you're going to have to SIM card now that you've ran *228, it burns 4G cards up. Good thing you already have one coming!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoblox:
I just realized that my phone is reporting 0 dBm under Signal Strength in Status... I thought this was fixed. My phone still functions as intended. The in-call volume is working perfectly through the ear piece, but the speakerphone is still unusable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Breezer23:
I get the feeling the last few nightlies shouldn't be flashed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
Excuse my ignorance, I've heard every once in a while someone mentioning that dialing *228 burns up 4G cards up. How does dialing a number burn up a 4G card? It's never made sense to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoblox:
It's not anything that will ruin your life unless you're huge on your speaker phone or bluetooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] streetfoldsfive:
Same here my speakerphone is awful!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
Got new nfc sim yesterday.. 4g issue is fixed at least... 35 down / 8 up.. Not too shabby :)

Just need to get the encryption thing fixed.. Although at this point I might just say eff it and stay on nightlies until gn3 or moto x comes into my life...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
Anyone on the 5-12 or 5-13 nightlies able to send texts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
I think mine are going through but not according to messaging app. Weird.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
New Mali pieces in the 7-14 nightly? Those for us?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Elite Precision:
On 07/13 nightly, so far no issues. Clean install from beans tw rom. No reboots, bt streaming good, battery life = excellent, no 4g hand off issues, calls/mms/sms. Outstanding job devs. Donation inbound.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Well I finally caved and went back to TouchWiz after maybe a few weeks on CM10.1 nightlies. Battery really is still a massive problem on here =/ used to cap at like 1.5 days on battery. First day back on TouchWiz doing a clean install and setting up my entire UI and app setup? 3.5 days on battery, 4 hours screen on time. I would never come close to hitting that on CM10.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
Yea I'm with you.. Beyond battery, there are still some other buggy things with cm 10.1 that seem to have gotten worse rather than better. Really wanted it to work, but I may need to go back to tw. The BT battery issue is a big deal for me.. By that i mean when phone disconnects from bt , it seems to think its still connected most of the time and nukes my battery life. Turning BT on/off as needed is an option, but hardly ideal... Would really like to have screen cast/all share cast ability too now that I got a net gear adapter. Been using it via widi on my dell xps 12 and love it..

Kudos to Devs on their work though.. I know this stuff is far from easy and I respect that!

Ho hum :-/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bucsfann20:
Thank you for this. I was having the sms sending error and hesitant on flashing new nightlies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Elite Precision:
No problem. Just got note 2 yesterday and TW is just not for me. Just can't stand that ui and while the beans rom was outstanding for the few hours I used it; I HAD to get on ASOP so I dove in. I've been beating it to death trying to get known issues to occur (aka deal breakers for me) and it just won't break:thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I honestly have no earthly idea what it does exactly, nor have I ever seen anyone post an explanation of why it happens. Its just known, even by VZW Tier 1 techs, that if you do that you'll no longer have any 4g service while using that SIM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
Don't know if burn up is the right phrase.. Maybe logically tho.

Having just done this to myself, what I think happens is you end up overwriting the lte/ehrpd prl that is auto downloaded to sim on activation with a prl that is meant for 3g phones via *228... Thus only giving you 3g because that's the only service defined in the *228 distributed prl. I assume (and haven't tested) that if you could get a copy of the correct lte prl and push it via qpst/qxdm that you could fix it. For me, replacing sim was quickest fix.

I do know it was prl related though BC my current lte prl is 15233 while the one I pulled over *228 started with 5 something..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] miketoasty:
The *228 thing is no longer an issue and hasn't been for years now, during the first week the Thunderbolt was released (The first 4G LTE phone from Verizon and the first phone from Verizon that used SIM cards), people and workers from Verizon thought that they still had to do the *228 to activate a phone (This was used on older models that don't use SIM cards which basically does what a SIM card does). I don't know exactly why this borked SIM cards, but I do know that a week or two after the release of the Thunderbolt, Verizon disabled 4G phones from being able to dial this number and now phones will hang up automatically when trying to dial it, completely nulling this issue.

Sorry for the long post, hope it clears up some confusion.

Edit: It seems that dialing this is working for people on CM, I guess since we no longer have the stock ROM, the blockage is no longer in place. I guess do at your own risk although I don't know why you would.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
*228 clearly still breaks things on a lte phone, just like you said, stock ROMs have a block that keeps you from dialing it. Cm ROMs let you dial it, which is how I was able to do it when I was messing around when I was having SMS/lte issues the other week. As you said though, its never necessary to do *228 though on a late phone as activation & prl download occurs automatically during network registration like gsm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] streetfoldsfive:
Does anyone still have very low speaker phone volume??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
Yes my volumes are low in general..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoblox:
Would you mind hosting a link to 6/13? I've been looking for 6/14 forever and I just can't seem to find it. 6/13 will do fine. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Elite Precision:
I apologize! I am running 7/13 nightly. It was late when I posted and I mistyped.

So far so good tho, main issue is not getting vmail indicators and low volume on speaker phone. BT (stereo headset), phone, external speaker don't seem to have the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chadastrophic:
The message waiting indicator for VM gets unchecked sometimes. Go to the dialer and into settings to turn it on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] streetfoldsfive:
I just hope one of the builds fix earpiece and speaker volume :) However, the developers are hardworking and do a great job! Many props!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Elite Precision:
That got it. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] streetfoldsfive:
Is anyone else having problems with earpiece volumes during calls? It was normal the other day, now it seems to be massively lowered.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
Did you try re-toggling the volume up and down while in call? sbrissen said that makes it re-read the settings.

Unrelated: are the new items in DSP Manager capable of being activated with the right kernel? They look pretty similar to the Voodoo tweaks and the Wolfson Sound Control on Stweaks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] discstu37:
I've run into a little of a frustrating situaish - since the 7/12 nightly, after a few hours/days of use, the phone will just freeze. It will take a batt pull to just even restart the phone. Sometimes the phone won't even reboot without clearing data and cache, and even when it does reboot, the phone will no longer accept a charge (weird?). It takes a full ODIN flash back to original stock to clear the freezing/charging issue.

I was on beans TW version prior to 7/12, so I am unsure if this was something that was reported earlier (so many pages of posts, and I've tried searching/scouring the boards). I followed the directions to a "T" - reinstalled all apps from scratch, no TiBu, stock kernel, etc.

Any suggestions? This has happened to me twice now. If additional data is needed, I'd be happy to provide it. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to respond. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
Given the irregularity of it, I'd say it's a hardware issue of some sort or some app you are running.... Did you run stock long enough to rule out that the charging/freezing issue wouldn't occur on stock? When you reflashed stock, did you flash orig or the latest?

I'd probably flash to stock again unrooted with no extra apps for a day to rule out hw issue, then root, flash latest twrp then latest nightly and run that again for a day without any extra apps and see how that goes.

Unfortunately some of these quirky problems are a time consuming pita to troubleshoot.. :-/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] discstu37:
Thanks for the response. Yeah, I ran stock TW for a long time - I've had the Note 2 on VZW since the day it launched. This only happened when I moved from Beans ROM to CM (and I ran stock until Beans for a good 4-5 months). The only commonality that I've noticed is that both times I was using Plume and I was on CM. Fine, I can use another Twitter app - but it's the permanent damage that it's doing to the point of having to flash VRALJB stock in order to correct it. I get an app can cause a lock up and force a reboot - but to make it so that the phone won't even charge? That it becomes unstable to the point where even wiping data/cache and won't even fix the issue? Just seems to be very catastrophic.

Luckily, flashing back to stock does fix the issues, I'd just like to run CM if possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eBoody:
I had had some strange issues when going from beans to CM10.1. What i did was backed up my files, did a format data and then reflashed CM10.1 and everything is working great. Although your issue seems to be pretty extreme. MAybe its worth a try?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] discstu37:
I'd love to go from stock/root/unlock straight to CM but I read that you need to have a TW based ROM (i.e., Beans) in order to get GPS lock before installing CM. Is that no longer the case?

I have no problem doing this and then re-installing everything from the market.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
It is apparently hit or miss on GPS. I had a GPS lock without flashing TW, but some haven't had good luck with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eBoody:
I just did this today and im getting a lock

Re: keypad not doing anything while in-call....

Nope, nothing like that here. I'm assuming you mean you call your voicemail and can't enter your password, or respond to the prompts by clicking any of the keypad numbers

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------

I'm pretty sure that problem was resolved quite awhile ago... but it's not really clear from all the varying threads. Does it still list that as a known problem in the OP? FWIW, I've never had anything but stock and CM, and my GPS seems to work just fine now. There was a period where I had to turn off GPS in Settings / Location access, but that problem went away a couple of months ago.

PS: just looked, and the OP still lists GPS as a known problem. I'd like to know if anybody who has newly installed CM10.1 has had problems with GPS and has had to install another ROM to get around it. It'd be great to get rid of that note in the OP if it's no longer a problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] miketoasty:
About a week or two ago I had this issue. I switch ROMs quite a bit and just make sure I get a GPS lock before doing an install for basically any ROM. Also had GPS issues when going to International ROMs as well, which was also fixed with the GPS lock before switching. Don't think this issue is an AOSP only thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DanCran:
Can anyone tell me what the latest release was with good sound (in-call and speaker)?
