[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cam30era:
Sbrissen, thank you very much for this build. As others have already observed, GPS lock works great.

One question: I don't use WiFi. When turning on or rebooting it takes a long time for data to turn on ( 3 to 4 minutes). Have never experienced this before on CM nor any other AOSP ROM. Something wrong on my end?

Edit: Day two, still longer than normal for data to come online, but less than day one (about two minutes).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
Then I'm confused. I thought those two were short term workarounds - for me, GPS already worked great with those. I'm curious what this changes? Apologies in advance for my ignorance.

Has anyone encountered this issue with the 'highlighted' actionbar when running at 240 DPI? It appears to be rendering at half the height it should be. It's been a little while since I have ran CM10.1 on the i605, but I don't remember encountering this previously.

Are we good for a dirty flash over the last one you posted? Should anything be cleared?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndrewZorn:
I have a couple of different devices now in the Play Store because of, I suppose, the way the device is identifying itself. Is there any way to copy the list of hundreds of apps from one Note 2 to the other? It's getting really old redownloading a ton of apps when I switch ROMs. To be clear, I do not want to transfer old apps, or use a backup app... just wondering if anyone knows a way to make Google's stored app list useful when switching between CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, and a TouchWiz ROM.

EDIT okay, well, now it seems to be pulling from my PA ROM list as I expected/hoped. But I suppose my question still remains for going between TW and CM ROMs, or even different physical phones.

EDIT2 and it just errored out on nearly every app during the sync. I have never figured out how to re-force this sync.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
i would just clear cache/dalvik to be safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cam30era:
Installed this Saturday morning. ROM is working great. However I am having two issues. 1) Slow (2 -3 minutes) to connect to data after reboot. 2) Discharge >10%/hour with screen off. Installed BetterBatteryStats and it shows a persistent kernel wakelock "mdm_hsic_pm0". I did a google search and while there are a lot of threads out there, I did not find any solution. Anyone with any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking to get gps tested on this build in both 3g and 4g areas?

Also let me know how battery is on this.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] millerd79:
Locked on 4g no problem... Dirty flash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
gps is fine for me in 4g. battery seems to be about the same, maybe even a little better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
GPS locked fast on 4G, not quite as fast on 3G but I'd imagine that is to be expected.

Will report back on battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Reporting in on that 4/15 build. GPS is golden, I never got locks this fast back on TouchWiz. It's blazing. This goes for 4G and 3G as well, both are about on par for me.

Unfortunately battery life is still really screwed up. Spent a solid 30 minutes with the screen on straight in a row and Screen wasn't even listed as taking up battery power. Android OS was top followed by Android System, then it dropped off to things like Google Maps etc with 1/10th the battery draw as the top 2. Not sure whats going on but the way these CM builds are reporting battery stats is totally screwed up. But this is nothing new so no harm there.

I can echo the long delay on boot to get a data lock. It takes a solid 5 minutes to get 4G or even 3G. I had been running nightlies basically since they went live and never had this problem before. Definitely something to look into.

I'm pretty sure the list of bugs has been crunched down to just a few key points:

-Camera flash still buggy

-Battery drain and reporting

-Sensor issues (magnet is flakey and takes awhile to kick in)

-New radio lock delay bug

But that's it. Builds are getting damn near perfect. Excellent job! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wickedares:
i started a thread here with a bug im experancing with all aosp roms. the problem being group messaging when i recieve a message from a samsung phone thats suposed to be in a group message it doesnt put it in the group thread it just puts it under the contact thread. tried gosms and handscent also same thing happens the link i have posted has more details on my troubleshooting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
Wanted to check in on the battery life for the 4-15 build: my phone is not deep sleeping. And I haven't added any apps between this build and the 4-12 one (which also may not have deep slept), so it's not an app. I flashed the Matrix kernel and the problem went away, but the battery life was of course sub par without deep sleep.

It seemed to be due to the presence of wakelock mdm_hsic_pm0 which isn't well documented. The best I could find was that it is related to a data connection, so maybe the long time to get a data connection on first boot issue is related?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] masterxchief:
Anyone elses device have issues not picking up signal at all after the last build? Or is that the same thing you guys are talking about with the device taking 10 minutes to find signal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
That's the same thing we're talking about. It takes a long while to lock into a data connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
gps fixes merged, functional gps should be in nightlies now :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] masterxchief:
Ohh ok thanks for clearing that up. I'm on a filthy tw rom for now :thumbdown:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lynseyw:
Yay!!!! Finally the new nightly has an instant GPS lock. I have waited so long for an AOPS rom to finally fix GPS. Thanks!! I did flash a TW rom first, then got a lock, and then flashed the 4/16 nightly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Yay! Thanks so very much for getting this working.

One question, and I'm not sure it really belongs here, but with the latest nightly, cwm rom manager reports that there's a new recovery available. When I flash it, 6.0.3.0, and then try to backup from the rom manager, I get a "can't mount backup path". Has anybody else had this problem? Reverting to 6.0.2.5 seems to fix the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thejondude:
pretty sure the gps fix isnt in the 16th nightly

Edit: maybe it has ...... it was merged at	Apr 16 7:12 AM.... and the build was made at 2013-04-16 08:35:09 so maybe :)

Either way, the 4-18 one has great GPS. Thanks, sbrissen! Happy to be nightly crack-flashing again :)

Nope. Took a picture, sent the MMS, and the recipient got it all within 5 minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tithefug:
assert failed: getprop()

I just tried flashing the latest nightly (4/18) to my Verizon Galaxy Note 2 and I get the following in ClockworkMod Recovery:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "t0ltevzw" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "t0ltevzw" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "i605" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "i605" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "SCH-I605" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "SCH-I605"

I checked build.prop and the values were set to:

ro.product.model=SCH=I605
ro.product.brand=Verizon
ro.product.name=t0ltevzw
ro.product.device=t0ltevzw

In theory, this should work. I had CM10.1 on here at some point, but needed the GPS. Now that it's fixed, I was hoping to give it a spin.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
If you can roll back to 6.0.2.5 (ROM Manager has it available), it works. I had the same problem. Not sure who needs to fix what, but I think CWM recovery needs to get the right name for our devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] audiophizile:
Flashed the 19 nightly and can't get GPS. Coming from beans 13. This is only the 3rd ROM I've flashed on this phone and 1st aosp. Had a gnex before and must say it feels great to be back on aosp except the GPS issue. Help?

Also my MMS seems fine as well as everything else I've tested. Very happy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tithefug:
I ended up installing TWRP for the time being because flashing CWMR hung at the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen. Thankfully, I still had Odin installed on my laptop to flash a different recovery image.

Also, to confirm, Ingress is working perfectly (for now) with WiFi disabled. My only issue is that the Gallery is not syncing with Picasa/Google+. I vaguely remember that happening a while back, so I'll look into it more.

Thanks, sbrissen!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cam30era:
FWIW: you're not alone. I just flashed the 0419 nightly coming from Sbrissen's 4/15 build. Can't get a GPS lock either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] audiophizile:
Interesting. With the reports of it being fixed I thought it'd be working on the latest. Maybe it was taken back out for some reason?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thejondude:
works fine for me.... u have both GPS satellites and wifi network location enabled? its in settings>location access
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] audiophizile:
Location access and GPS satellite on, wifi mobile network off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cam30era:
Yes, both enabled here. Sbrissen's build worked fine, but not 0419 nightly for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
I just tested GPS on the 19th build. Locked in about 3 seconds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] audiophizile:
Do I need to go back to tw and get a lock or should I just try reflashing? I did a standard wipe (data, system, cache, dalvik) twice each on twrp 2.5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
You shouldn't need to. Trying clearing app data or re-downloading Maps. It is in Maps that you can't get a GPS lock, right? Does GPS work on any other app?

Otherwise, maybe try getting a lock on a previous build that had the workaround, then flashing the newest build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] audiophizile:
It is in maps and also 2 tried 2 different GPS lock apps none work. Also I can send MMS and the person receives it but found out I can't receive mms. I get a status bar notification but its blank and when i go to my messages its like they never messaged me at all... Weird
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wickedares:
my mms issue is group messages from Samsung devices appear in the senders thread not the group thread. group works fine from iPhone and Motorola i have found. other than group messaging my mms is working good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cam30era:
I got a lock on Sbrissen's 4/15 build with no problem. I have not been able to get a GPS lock on 0419(clean install). I tried your suggestions above regarding Maps app without success.

If I understand your last suggestion; flash the workaround (not a nandroid restore) then flash 0419 without wipe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cdmoore74:
I know that having 3 second GPS locks are important but has anyone actually tried using the GPS for more than an hour? Using the GPS works fine for my first trip lasting about 40 minutes but during my second leg the GPS is just terrible. No locks and maps just freeze. It was not this ROM but it has happened to me about 4 times on various ROM's based on cyanogenmod.

I will try this version and report back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
Yes but I don't know why that would work any different than a clean flash wiping data... Good luck

Also, commenting on the Android OS usage in the system battery stats: the wakelocks seem WAY lower if I just stay on LTE and not use wifi, even if wifi is connected. Is this the case with other people? I find this to be true whether I'm using the stock kernel or a custom one.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tomkins0752:
I just flashed this to my phone and I have been getting an issue where, if I turn off my phone and turn it back on, it doesn't pick up the CDMA service but I get LTE still. A reflash of the nightly without a wipe fixes it, but this happened twice in less than 24 hours. Any idea why this happens?

Anyone have a fix for gallery sync with Picasa? I have googled for fixes, tried a few, and an having no luck.

I switched from Beans Rom 13 this morning .Running 4/20 nightly for my Verizon note 2,running fine so far.only issue is not having DLNA function to stream movies from my phone to my Samsung tv.any one have an alternative or workaround.

i cant get pie controls to show up. i have the software buttons enabled. so i set up expanded desktop activated it. software buttons go﻿ away. i swipe up from bottom and everywhere and they dont show up. and yes pie controls are enabled as well as trigger position.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
... How did you enable the software buttons? CM doesn't have software buttons for our phone, which means they also don't support pie controls for it. Try Carbon if you're looking for those.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] qman66:
cm has software buttons enabled for every phone. they are just hidden. to enable them go to system then build prop and open in text editor and make a new line in the bottom and type qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 then reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Pie is disabled on any devices with hardware buttons. That's why you can't get them to show up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
To follow up. I used maps yesterday for a 1 hour drive with none of the issues you mentioned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
I wouldn't call that "enabled" since you can't activate them from the CM settings. It's more a hack that works on any phone that has ICS or later
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shaffer678:
Can the samsung dock be used with cm?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cam30era:
Did a clean install of Sbrissen's 4/15 build. Booted up. Got a GPS lock. Rebooted to recovery directly from Maps. Installed 0418 nightly without wipe. Rebooted and unable to get a GPS lock. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] qman66:
I have the pie control menu though. So that's what I'm not understanding
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
Well since our device isn't intended to have pie, the default CM pie configuration may not work well/at all for us.

FWIW, I use LMT and it's just as good if not better than the CM pie on other devices.

mdm_hsic_pm0 and wlan_rx_wake

I have been running the 4/19 build since Friday, and it's been great. But the battery life took a big dive yesterday (I think this was mostly due to Google+ Instant Upload getting stuck). But using Better Battery Stats, I see a high Kernel Wakelock count for 'mdm_hsic_pm0' and 'wlan_rx_wake'. I searched Google, and saw this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2009956. It mentions that 'sbrissen' put up a build on or around the 17th that had patches to fix this. Do we know if these changes have been merged in a more recent nightly, or if there is a build that has the GPS and this fix in it?

Thanks again, sbrissen, for everything. The GPS has been working great all weekend!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallingup:
the issue still persists in the builds that sbrissen has worked on, but he is still looking into it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
If you don't need to, don't use wifi. My battery life has been significantly better on only LTE actually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Wifi actually uses less power than LTE
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tallnerd1985:
Is the phone not suspending the LTE radio while WiFi has a established connection?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
It may use less power, but it seems that due to the high number of wakelocks associated with wifi, even when it is connected, the overall battery life is worse. On my Gnex, connecting to wifi gave me far better battery life. On the Note 2, though, connecting to wifi has given me much worse battery life. Regardless of theoretical aspects, this is what what I have experienced.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KelchM:
Agreed. This has been my experience with the Note II from day 1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:

I made some changes to the modem and upgraded the wlan drivers to try to help with battery. Can I get some testers on this?

This also has the pinch to zoom camera fix made by erishasnobatter
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallingd0wn:
Getting ready to install now. I'm assuming I need to stay on the included kernel in order to test the WLAN drivers? I normally run Matrix for the color control.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
yea, the battery "fixes" are in the kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tithefug:
Initial report after 1H:7m in Kernel Wakelock of BetterBatteryStats.

PowerManagerService

battery-monitor

wlan_rx_wake

wlan_ctrl_wake

mdm_hsic_pm0

wlan_wd_wake

wlan_wake

So, at first glance, the changes seem to be working. 'mdm_hsic_pm0' used to be either first or second. Now, it's fifth. Also, 'Screen' is higher than 'Android OS' (not by much). Also, the slope of the battery graph seems to have leveled off more.

I'll report back tomorrow after a full day of using these changes.

Additionally, the pinch-to-zoom seems to be working okay, but I'm using the 4.2 camera with Photosphere so this might not affect me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KelchM:
In my initial testing it seems better. I'm seeing approximately 4% per hour discharge at idle while connected to wifi versus 6.5% with the latest nightly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22926241640219427

alright, S3 guys found even wifi drivers that seem much more solid. I grabbed them and with minor modification they are working great.

Give this build a try, only difference from yesterdays is the wifi driver.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Downloaded and installed. So far so good. Thanks a lot! I'll get back once it's had time to run for awhile

Android OS seems to be high still but the wakelocks according to BBS is much better. Ive been on wifi for over 4 hours and am still at 94%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Looks like I'll have to change my daily routine: 1. arrive at work. 2. plug phone into charger. 3. arrive home. 4. plug phone into charger. Woo woo!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tithefug:
I too am experiencing Android OS to be high, but the battery performance is close to that of stock (which is all I really care about). Also, the new WiFi drivers seem to working great.

Now we just need Google to fix the location algorithm to match that of Backitude. In the Alarms section, Google Maps is the highest with 145 wakeups and Backitude is 9th with 12 wakeups. I have only left WiFi once, so obviously I've barely moved. Why do you need to keep checking for location? And, oddly enough, my Location Reporting settings in Google Maps is set to "Location manually selected on the map" (i.e. - don't check for my location). Yet it is still doing it. I wonder if this has anything to do with Google Now? Maybe that is checking location periodically. Not sure.

Anyway, thanks again, sbrissen!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
This is what I'm getting. Seems somewhat normal? Idk I've been on 4G all day though. No WiFi

It runs as normal so far as I can tell.

Used navigation for about 30 mins. GPS was on for about 2 hours though

Note: This is the build in post #877
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tomkins0752:
I'm still dealing with high Android OS issues, but not due to wakelocks, but to CPU total.
