Yep im using same kernel an my RLS17 would last quite a few hours but I flashed the new RLS18 and phone still thinks its RLS17 but its not lol. I have the new crt feature and all that. I cant go anywhere and use my phone when it dies in less than 2 hours :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] The North Butt:
Three things. Have you ran the battery calibration mentioned in the OP? Download greenify. I suffered from similar battery issues on 17.1 and greenify helps a lot. Third, as OP states, user error is a big part of it. True battery stats should be taken over days, not 30 minutes after flash when none of these things are done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peekywhop2:
Ok I have not done calibration yet so I will do it now. I installed this rom as soon as it dropped, not 30 mins ago ? lol and I never had this problem before and I'm pretty savvy with this stuff, been doing it awhile so it cant be user error. And I will have to check greenify out, I just hate having another app run in the background when I shouldn't have to, ya know.?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaysonDroid:
That's true I should calibrate it first and try greenify. I just hope this release is nothing like RLS17 with battery where it kept being close to dying halfway through the day. Back on RLS10 I used to last a whole day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] The North Butt:
Battery configuration is probably the biggest thing you could do. I always notice a decrease in battery life initially after the roms drop, but this fixes it up. Greenify works by actively hibernating your apps, so in a way you use one app to keep 20 others from running in the background. I couldn't confirm it's 100% effectiveness though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peekywhop2:
Ah okay i will definitely download it and try it out right now. And I dont see an option in this rom to calibrate, should I download a third party app? Thanks for the help north butt lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] The North Butt:
Biggest thing here. kitkat is an inherent battery sucker. Oh how I miss ICS roms. :)

I usually get about 35 hours off of a charge with moderate usage. I usually keep a pretty close eye on background apps though. I would post my battery stats from 17.1, but I didn't think to save it. I used 18 all yesterday without going dead and I haven't ran the bc yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaysonDroid:
Yeah I sure do miss ICS. KitKat seems to bring more issues than anything. Also random reboots is still prevalent for me although not as often as before (only sometimes from using an alarm clock during a night of leaving the phone on).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] The North Butt:
It's done through the terminal.

Look at the fourth or fifth post in this thread. It says better configuration at the top.

Tl;dr : terminal, type su, type bc, on screen instructions.

Edit: If you didn't install terminal emulator while flashing you will need to go on the play store and grab that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sep33:
Mine is working buy I am on MDK, so don't know if that is why.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peekywhop2:
Ok I just let my battery charge and did the battery calibration. I will let you know how it goes, thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 2crazeybolt:
I've been running 18 since it dropped and so far it's been great. I use to get an occasional reboot on 17 but none so far. Also my battery life has been really good, 3-4 hours of screen time. I did do the battery cal, and I do use greenify. I believe there is a link in the op on battery tips. Try it, it really makes a difference. Thanks Scott, best and smoothest so far..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
I am on MDK as well so this must not be affecting everyone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peekywhop2:
WOW thank you very much for that very detailed message! I am going to go ahead and try all of the things you suggested and I will let you know how it goes! I truly and greatly appreciate it a lot buddy! I already have greenify downloaded and the framework installed so I have a foot in the door already, Here I come trial and error! lol... And just a fyi for anyone who is going to try all these different settings, you should make a nandroid backup in case anything goes wrong that way you can restore your phone to what is was before it messed up. Def a +rep to you sir!

Does Reactiv Dialer work on this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra7361:
If u do exactly what I say...

U won't mess anything up...

I say the trial and error part is just for those that want to really

Get the maximum out of ur battery...and trail and error is for what apps one can greenify safely

With my wife's phone she gets 3+ days fro. Hers..

But she is stock and do t use her phone as much as me..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Dioesn't hurt to try it out, it should work like any 3rd party dialer, you can use it to dial out but incoming calls will be the stock dialer screen.

Is there a way for the clock to dim like the rest of the statusbar icons when the black background is present? On this ROM, the clock keeps it's bright white color throughout.

Is the bluetooth problem across all devices and carriers?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RickHenry:
I use Bluetooth extensively, never had any issues on any version of Hyperdrive. Currently i337 ATT, SS 3.72, HD RLS 18.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krazykevin76:
Update on bluetooth for me on verizon MDK, I used the gogolies nc2 wifi fix file that someone mentioned earlier for me to try. Rebooted, and bam, wifi and bluetooth worked like perfection. I don't exactly remember what modem i had installed or which way I installed the files, ie, modem first then fix, or vise versa. But it fixed that issue.

Now the sad part, and more help :(. In doing all this to get my bluetooth fixed, I've lost all phone functionality and sound. There are absolutely no sounds coming from my phone, earphones normal speaker, or speakerphone. Nothing from spotify or any other program. Also, I can't make any calls. I can't even dial 1 to get into voice mail. My wife tried calling and I see her missed call, but she said it went straight to voice mail. Internet and texting does work. I'm in no way blaming the ROM or any fixes the people suggested, I'm just at a total loss of where to go from here.

I've reinstalled 18 a few times, 15 a few times and even went back to old faithful 10.2 Final, and nothing. The whole phone seems sluggish now. Any suggestions? Quickest way to start back over? I've never received any OTA's. I've been rooted from day one using TWRP.

Thanks guys

Quick Update: Just tried dialing my wife while we were in the same room, on my favorites menu, I pressed her number and the screen freezes for a while, then turns white. Then her phone does start ringing. So my phone is working. But then I get a message saying the phone is not responding, do I want to close. Very very odd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Don't use that zip on mdk, it updates your nonhlos partition, which needs to match your bootloader for sound, etc.

Go to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2487298

flash the retail mdk+nonhlos zip, then i would recommend flashing the retail nc5 modem only zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lokerman:
dirty flashing

It's not a stupid question, but as Scott says, it's always a good idea to wipe. After all, you can't even get support if you have problems on a dirty flashed ROM, so that's gotta mean something. It can't hurt, in any case, and it's a very good habit to get into. I am on auto mode for that task always, so that I don't even think about it. It tends to work very well for my flashes.

You might as well do the flashes, since as it is obvious, you seem to know it pretty well already.

I want to remove the s5 setting app, what's the best way?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vaeevictiss:
ok...just had something really weird happen...

I installed the previous version last week (havnt gotten around to getting 18 yet)

got it all setup, been working great. I just restarted the phone and its like all the settings are back to default, i have no notification icons, when i get a text i get no sound, just a vibrate and the sound is on...and my home button doesnt work...what the hell just happened?

Only thing i see missing still is i have about half of the drop down widget things missing including torch.

kinda afraid to turn the phone off again lol.

Loss of 4G.

Hello All,

Wondering if anyone can help me out. The short of it is that I am unable to get 4G from 17.1 forward to 18 now. I have searched up and down and have seen folks with the same problem, but it either doesn't gets answered or no one responds if it is fixed. I have been all over reflashing back to my stock MDK modem, back to DEVNC5 modem. Nothing changes it. Last night I did fresh install of R18 and kept the DEVNC5 modem. Did the normal, full wipe of everything (2x), installed 18 with S5 theme, KT kernal, and still no 4G. I double checked settings in HD to make sure LTE etc was selected. Nothing changes. Now for some back story....

I had 17.1 dirty flashed over 16 awhile back, LT kernel, and DevNC5 modem... 4G was no problem. A few things were goofy so I decided to full wipe, fresh flash, and then I lost 4G with 17.1. I tried flashing to retail NC5 modem, retail NC5 modem, back to stock MDK modem, all same results. Was weird because I had it before with all same stuff. I knew R18 was due out so I just dealt with it. Last night I again wiped everything and flashed 18, KT, and still on the NC5 modem, nope.. stuck in 3G. I have run out of ideas except that I just backed up my fresh 18 install and then wiped everything, restored my old Beans build 7 with Faux 3.4.0 kernel and flashed back to stock MDK modem. Huge step backwards and sadly since I am in spotty area at moment while traveling.. hard to tell yet if I will get 4G back. I will update again when I know.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I am pretty good with ROMS and a tech by trade so I note everything I have done to repro/explain the problem. Anyone have any ideas ? I have seen the 'loss of 4G' come up a few times in this thread and still no real answers. I have done the simple Global to LTE network swaps to see and nothing.

Thanks in advance for anyone that can help !

Sorry let me be more specific, I don't get an option to boot into safestrap when I start up the phone like I normally get. I can't reboot into safestrap either, for obvious reasons.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
Towelroot.com download/install the APK. Go into towelroot and click on 'make it rain'. Download SuperSU from the play store. Download BusyBox from the play store. Go into BusyBox and 'install BusyBox'. Download Safestrap APK and install. Go into Safestrap and 'install recovery'. Golden. Save the zips I linked to in previous threads to your externalSD card for future use. Do the same with the APK's. Click the thanks button if I've helped you and do not neglect to do so for others in the future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chopteeth:
Thanks for the help, but just curious why was my phone not already rooted when upgrading? Did I do something wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
I guess root and SuperSU weren't 'baked into' the ROM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
Slightly off topic, but as there have been so many modem issues just curious:

Anyone have any good info concerning upgrading MK2 modem/baseband from NC2 to NC5? I've checked out surge's page on this but not enough info for me concerning non-MDK gs4's. Looking for how well it worked for you & any other info - I'd like to try NC5 but as my NC2 is mostly working well for me I don't need a huge pile of s**t hassles (and do I remember basic advice: if it ain't broke don't fix it)

Thanks.

been running rls 17.1 wth no issue. Clean flashed to 18.1 and everything works great except my data connection. I assume my apn settings are wrong now, so i flashed the att apn settings zip to no avail. I would enter the apn manually, but under the 'more networks' settings i no longer have the apn header at all. Clean flashed and reflashed multiple times with no luck.

Do you have a backup of your efs? It's a partition you might have checked with a nandroid, try restoring it.

If not, flash a cm rom and change the subscription type in network settings to "ruim/sim". I haven't had to do this since jelly bean, not positive if that option is still available with these unified builds on kitkat. Might want to try an old 10.2 build.

Didn't dial *228 by any chance did you?

love the ROM but *1* problem.....

I followed the necessary steps to get up to 17, no problem. I installed 18 per the steps you recommend, step by step, but the wireless still will not kick on and I'm not sure why.. I tried modifying the build.prop as well but I'm sort of out of ideas. Any other suggestions? Also, I think I saw it mentioned elsewhere but I'm yet another of the users who are having that issue w the S4 throwing a + symbol in front of calls which wouldnt be a huge issue BUT it makes my contacts pointless since it wont recognize them. Any help is appreciated and as always, great job on the ROM.

On verizon MDK bootloader. I used to have the Bluetooth issue when I first flashed Rls 16.1. My Bluetooth wouldn't come on at all.

what kernal do i choose

well now after 2 days of search for a file to bring me back to stock rooted after a bad install , im still willing to give this a try

but i dont see where i went wrong to begin with , i already had 1.7 hyperdrive , did a clean install of 1.8 and picked the kernal it said to pick for safestrap users to install wifi etc .. but on boot i had no wifi and was stuck because i have no contract so i had no service on this phone and ended up screwing the phone up trying to flash files to bring back wifi

so with that said now that im clean stock rooted again , all ready to go which kernal do i choose to avoid this happening again or can i skip that choice

Is this really a bug though?

I've seen a few posts about it and I have the issue. But I posted if it worked for anyone and only got one reply that it was working so just how wide spread is it?

Other than that everything works fine for me. No WiFi or signal issues here, Bluetooth works flawless for me and if anything my battery life seems to have improved.

Of course I am on MDK so that makes me and others on MDK the minority.

for those of you that cant get wifi try flashing this https:// www .androidfilehost. com/? fid=23486521113837640 "remove spaces"

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Just pick the same one, but before you reboot, flash the wifi modules and flash Superuser. That's what I did and everything went fine. Still had root and wifi worked.

Don't reflash for that, it won't change it.
