Ok some more info:

I started having battery issues this morning which is really weird. So far whenever I've left the phone off, it's only drained about 1% per hour. Which has been fantastic but for some reason this time. I literally took the phone off charge at 100%. Went to sleep for 8½ hours and woke up to it at 14%.

​

Again, for some reason the phone seems to drain so slowly after it gets down to a critical point (like 14%) but beforehand the phone obviously almost died overnight. This has never happened so far and drainage has been a total non-issue, just the rebooting issues have plagued my phone. I have no idea why I am now getting an issue with the media service though.

In addition, in reply to the guy above me. I flashed Comadose back when I was using OMEGA Rom. However I have since flashed this GE Rom and NOT flashed ComaDose back on at all. So could ComdaDose still be present on my phone? Also I want to say to SSThing, that even though it seems like the reboots may have stopped. I have had constant reboots for days and then I've had 3 days without and then 2 days with again. So I would say be careful on relying on your phone.

If it is something to do with ComaDose and if it's still persistent in my system. Then I'd say it could be something to do with the GPS because every time my phone was crashing I was using the GPS in some way. Either through google maps persistently, through GPS tagging whilst taking a picture, using Foursquare and also whilst running with Endomondo Pro and graphing out my run pattern. Every one of these times my phone has crashed. So it could be a persistent issue with ComaDose (if I haven't somehow removed it) seeing as ComaDose makes several changes to getting a GPS lock.

Do you mean for battery drain or reboots?

I personally don't care about battery drain. I can always fix that on my own ;)

But for reboots. I need to rely on my phone and that it doesn't s*** itself constantly when I need to use it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pitastrudl:
regarding battery drain is what i meant.

regarding reboots, what was your exact flashing procedure? you could try another kernel

Sent from my GT-I9505
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] leijonasisu:
I really don't want to try another Kernel everything is perfect with this one apart from the reboots.

As for the flashing procedure:

Reboot phone into PhilZ recovery.

Factory Reset/Prepare for new ROM

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Install .zip (ROM) from SD

That's it. AFAIK that's all I should have to do.

With the addition of a full format of both Internal and External filesystems.

Just did a re-install, full wipe etc. both file systems formatted. Manual re-installation of apps.

Still getting reboots. No idea what to do now. Got like 4 apps on my phone and it's still crashing.

In addition the phone shut down on its own (at 91% battery) whilst booting up for the first time after installing the .zip from ExternalSD.

I'm gonna have to flash something else. This is nuts... nice that other people are having better luck than me but if I can't even do a full wipe and not have problems then it's gotta be something wrong with the rom itself that might be fixed in an update.

Have you installed Chrome Beta by any chance? This has been implicated in reboots by many reports. Also, what recovery did you flash it with?

TWRP doesn't flash very reliably, and old versions of stock CWM/PhilZ also cause problems.

Explain pls! What OTA? U rooted with what? Just some links rest I will do myself.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rhedox:
OTA means over the air, which means you download an upsate from the settings of your stock rom phone.

I only rooted because I followed a german guide. I dont know if rooting (using CF auto root) is required for flashing custom roms or custom recoverys. I guess it isnt.

Can anyone please see if remote desktop over VPN works?

I connect to my work computer via remote desktop (2x remote desktop app) If I am on work wifi, the connection is flawless. If I am on mobile data, I connect to the work VPN and then connect remote desktop. This works flawless when I use the stock (or any other touchwiz 4.2.2) ROM. It does not work on this (or may other GE 4.3) ROM.

You are right indeed, typing on stock one is so much worse than on Samsung's.

So we have 2 main issues right now:

- from 30% battery drain

- after few days random reboots (ROM or Kernel fault)

I'm correct ?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] leijonasisu:
I don't have the Beta of Chrome but I do have the Chrome that comes with the GE rom itself pre-installed.

Everyone is always *****ing about recoveries. How TDWP sucks or CWM or PhilZ is terrible or something. For the love of god, if these 3 suck what the ££££ else is there to choose from?

Personally I don't care, I just wish people would stop having fights about the recovery people are using.. if these all suck why aren't they removed from XDA and why aren't warnings put up? I'm using the newest version of PhilZ. If you have a better suggestion please do list it, and why.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First and foremost. Some things I have found: ---> I really think that the issues with rebooting is due to a Mobile Data bug.

Personally, using the phone on Wifi, it never ever crashes. It has never once crashed for me on Wifi.

Taking the phone off Wifi, causes after about 3 minutes for the phone to constantly disconnect and reconnect from 2G through to 3G and back to 2G. Which also completely deadens my phone's signal so I can't make normal calls. If I turn off mobile data. I can still make calls but if I turn it back on, it constantly can't seem to choose between either 2G or 3G.

Limiting to just '2G Networks' in the Mobile Data settings causes the phone to run on 'E' Edge for about 2 minutes, but then the signal bar goes from Blue 'E' to grey.. and there is no data connection either. The phone reboots all the time through this. The moment I am within Wifi range and I boot the phone up. It starts within seconds and attains a Wifi signal and works without a problem.

If I turn Wifi off, I get these problems again quite quickly. Then the phone reboots. If I try and do a reboot myself, the phone shuts down instead of doing a reboot like I told it to. I'm totally convinced it's not the GPS, It's not the Flash, It's not the Battery.

It's to do with mobile data. It could be an issue with the SIM and Mobile Data or just an issue with the 'Mobile' not being compatible or not working correctly. I doubt it's a fault with the Kernel either. Though it wouldn't explain battery drainage, unless there is an underlying fault with Mobile Data and Background signal.

Otherwise, private or public Wifi. If there is an automatic network turned on, and my phone connects to it before booting, or if I have mobile data OFF. The phone always boots. Regardless of battery level or anything. But if I have Mobile Data on, and that is what I am trying to use. The phone performs badly, and then either cannot attain any sort of stable signal, or it just goes into boot loops until I bring it within public/private Wifi that I told it to connect to automatically.

So I'd say it's a Mobile Data issue and the moment it tries to connect to a cellular network, it dies.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] donalgodon:
The reason you should care very much about the recovery you use is that you absolutely NEED it to be reliable when it comes to flashing the ROM in the first place and an improperly flashed ROM will cause all sorts of problems. Little bits get written wrong, and problems that are almost impossible to troubleshoot result.

For example, I have NEVER had a reboot on any GE ROM, and I even use Chrome beta, for instance, but I'm absolutely certain that I do a full wipe before flashing with a fully-functional recovery. If you don't start there, you'll be building on sand.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] leijonasisu:
I've said it once and I've said it a thousand times. I always do a full wipe of absolutely everything, and even a wipe of internal and external storage before flashing a rom. It is the ONLY way to ensure a stable and reliable system. If your rom is so good and your GE is working, please tell me what recovery you are using and I will endeavor to flash this GE over a third time to see if there is any difference.

´LS

EDIT: We have almost the same recovery. PhilZ Touch 5, CWM Base: 6.0.

3.7

vs. yours is 6.0.

4.0

Do you really think that 3 revisions will make such a huge difference?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JethroC:
I am also having very similar problems when coming off wifi although I don't have any random reboots. A lot of the time my phone won't connect to my data network after coming off wifi or if it does connect, it connects as 2G (even when 3G is specified) and after about 30 seconds it will drop the connection and I don't have any data (no E or H above my signal bars). All the while the 'data enabled' box is ticked under 'mobile network settings'. The only way I can resolve it is by either manually rebooting the phone or turning the phones radio off and back on again using the TelInfo app from the playstore. There is certainly an issue here.

I have the very latest Philz recovery installed and I manually format all relevant partitions before installing a ROM...cache, system, data etc.

I am experienced enough at flashing ROMs as I have done hundreds over the last few years and I certainly don't think it's something I'm doing wrong
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FatherD:
Just a thought.. I flashed this with the latest Philz cwm, but perhaps the only difference - I came from TWiz MH8, so my baseband is MH8, I have had absolutely no issues with connectivity or reboots!

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JethroC:
I've changed my baseband twice in the last few weeks according to sammobile - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/

Call log bug

Whenever I scroll down in the call log, Dialler will unfortunately stop. It's always at the same spot as well.

I also notice some slight battery drain, ever so slightly more than TouchWiz, although it's so little I could be imagining it.

I followed TechnoBuffalo's guide, if that helps.

Latest version is fast and snappy. One issue - when i put the phone on silent and I'm listening to music with earphones, if I press the inbuilt remote control on my earphones (Klipsch S4a) the phone's status changes to General (and no longer on silent). have tried with different music apps and various earphones with inline remotes (stock earphones, Etymotic HF2, apple earphones to name a few) but to no avail. Looked around in settings but couldn't find anything to change the behaviour of the inline remote. Has anyone got any idea how to fix this?

Okay for those that miss customizations I installed the "Xposed installer" app ...and from within the app I installed "Gravity Box".

I was able to customize the status bar and hardware keys and also able to add a "close all" button on the "recent apps" so you dont have to do it one by one.

This is definitely my favorite ROM ... Only con I've found is that the battery does drain faster than on other ROMs...

APNs are for your mobile provider. They are used for data and mms functionality on your phone. They've nothing got to do with wifi.

You should have an APN listed for your mobile provider. It also needs to be selected in order for data (2G/3G/LTE etc) to work on your device
