my wife's e971 gets a lot of watchdog reboots to that hardware screen...anyone ever nail down what causes it? is it kernel related? she's just started complaining about it so I'm gonna have to figure it out :s
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hv6478:
I have a feeling it could be kernel-related, I don't recall seeing anymore of those with ME's kernel.

Dialer Force Closes

I'm on the 9/4 version and my dialer force closes every time I try and use it. Its useless.

I've been reading through as much of this thread as possible but there's just so much and I haven't found a fix yet. A few people have mentioned trouble with the dialer but I never saw a solution.

Can anyone help?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hv6478:
Already tried a dirty flash back on top in recovery? If not, I'd try that to start. If that doesn't do it you'd have to try to completely wipe everything and dona fresh install. None of the versions I've used of this ROM have given me dialer issues.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ptesmoke:
thanks man! I will try this ME kernel you speak of :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] alboxblood:
So i can only talk to people using speakerphone. If i'm not on speaker they can hear me and i can't hear them. Any way to fix this?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
Is this still getting updated now that e970/973 is official?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] 2disbetter:
I don't know. I've looked and even though the website says the e970 is supported now, when you go to download a build there are none available. This includes all the different branches (nightly, experimental, stable, etc.).

I wouldn't be surprised if this build was the basis for official support to begin with.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] dcarr622:
It's not clear if dvhexer was involved with getting official support, the G+ post mentions two devs, Shelnutt and one other (who could be dvhexer), I suppose.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Kaik541:
dvhexer based his work off of the mako (aka Nexus 4) kernel. His alternative build was based on the e975 kernel source--asumedly the one maintained by Ricardo (also known as arcee in the CM community). Shelnutt has been working with chadouming who owns one of the Canadian variants on the TeamLGOG github. To my knowledge dvhexer has not worked with shelnutt or chad to push official support for either his version or theirs, but both build processes result in more or less the same end result (not EXACTLY the same, but probably a huge overlap without having looked much at dvhexer's code in a while). Many of the patches dvhexer produced for the devices were either incorporated into the TeamLGOG source OR recreated independently. The TeamLGOG version is moving to be more unified with arcee's version for e975 (moving from ls970-common to gproj-common) and they worked with the CM team to get official support.

Now I'm not saying one version is "better" than the other, they are just alternatives to each other. One based on mako/google sources with patches to support the LGOG's differences, one based on LGE sources with patches from mako/google to make it run CM code. Truly, at this point, it's a matter of preference. If this one works better than the ones provided by TeamLGOG for you then use this one (or vice versa). The only real differentiation between the two at this point is that at some point the TeamLGOG version (which is now the official CM version) is one you will eventually be able to post bug reports to the CM jira on once milestone builds start arriving. dvhexer isn't prevented from contributing through the code review process, nobody is, so if anything this should hopefully lead to a more unified and stable build not just for our device but also affects the sprint version (ls970), international version (e975), canadian variants (e971/e973), and even a couple of the optimus g pro devices if I'm reading the kernel tree properly. Usually, everyone targeting one version of builds means there's less duplication of work/code and ideally a more stable and usable version of the build.

Obviously I don't speak for either of these groups so please correct me if I'm wrong. Basically, neither version is the "right" version, to the average user, one just gets the "official" status and gets built by the CM buildbots and hosted on their servers (and all that entails including the gerrit code review process). As for *why* the builds have not started yet is because the CM team has requested a proper set of root/bootloader unlock/recovery flash instructions to be uploaded and maintained on the wiki that follows the guidelines before the nightlies roll out.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] [r.]GimP:
^This was quite the informative post, and thank you for that. Am I correct in taking away from all of this that this greatly has the secondary side effect of making a device tree accessible for any and all rom devs from here out out to just drop in their own rom making sources and out pops a functional rom? I've noticed tons of roms, even from scratch-ish roms generally just fork the device trees over straight from CM's git, so its really nice to know we'll be in their device repo finally, that's a lot of future ROM love if I'm interpreting correctly.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] d08speed3:
How do I fix the random camera crashes? I'll open the app and its black screen.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Kaik541:
Generally, a device that CM supports usually can be dropped into any ROM based on CM's source code. Maybe not all appropriate options will be exposed depending on what their overlays require and whatnot, but theoretically it should produce a working build. Not a guarantee of course, but let's just say there's a reason most "AOSP-based" ROMs usually don't arrive for a device until a workable CM build exists (it's very important I emphasize the word usually in that sentence, that isn't always the case, especially with devices like ours that has a nexus cousin).

The main differentiator between CM and most other AOSP-based ROM's, in my opinion, is the attempt to produce long term results. Becoming an official maintainer entails quite a bit of responsibility to not just the community but CM as a whole. On top of that there are expectations on how well the software runs on the hardware before they are even accepted into that "official" status. Most other ROMs seem to be maintained officially by a very small group of upwards of 20 people or so, while the CM private irc channel has more than 100 people in it at all times, many of which aren't even device maintainers; there are people whose "jobs" range from public relations, user experience/interface, to wiki maintenance. That of course is something that developed over time, and leads to a lot of commitment and dedication with people who have been working on this project for years. I'm obviously biased in this regard, as CM is my personal preference and the one I'm most familiar with, so obviously decide for yourself but I'd like to think an official CM build should be seen as a friendly "stamp of approval" that represents a certain level of quality to expect, or, failing that, a promise to resolve and improve to meet those standards.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] [r.]GimP:
Agreed, whenever I recommend getting away from the manufacturer and foraying into a custom ROM for their phone I will always default to CM for the usability and their sanity's sake. Only then will I let them adventure into dumber fun :D

This is especially relevant if I kidnap their phone and force custom firmware on to it, always CM because of the solid support and community to quickly be able to search out issues and workarounds if needed before even starting a flash, admittedly this device is a bit different with being nearly identical to the nexus 4, but that didn't stop TOO many people from ignoring it, just glad that the phone will have some extra longevity from a great base so once they become commodity and dirt cheap I will still feel good recommending them as a budget phone to friends in the future, knowing they have at least solid CM to use as a daily.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ancifil:
I have keyboard crashes few times at minute and also doesn't work back and menu button. What can help?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jekostas:
I apologize if this has been answered in this thread already, but is there some trick or switch I'm not seeing to get MHL to work? Just about everything else runs perfectly. I'm on a Canadian E971 using the Rogers' JB modem image, but otherwise everything stock.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] FLaMpeR:
Official CM nighlty available on CM site. We'll be getting updates for that build?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Wrong thread, look in original development.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonBourne.Qc:
Here's my problem, I'm on latest cm10.2 nightly and I don't have any network signal...I tried with 2 different sim cards, both can be read with a "Sim Card Reader" from the Playstore but I cannot send/receive sms or call with both sim cards...I tried to enter manually the APN but still nothing...the sim card tray is not broken in any kind...what's the problem? I just reinstalled the stock firmware but no chance, no signal at all...that's weird because my phone worked like a charm yesterday...

Any help or fix are welcome
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
You probably borked your efs partition. Hopefully you have a backup of it on your internal storage. Or maybe need to flash a modem again, but I think it far more likely is an efs partition problem and can be fixed with those three tiny files m9kefs1 m9kefs2 and m9kefs3.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonBourne.Qc:
So, here's my problem now...

I just reinstall stock jb firmware on my phone, I can see the IMEI in the setting but I don't have any signal from my carrier...

I have an EFS backup but I think it's broken...Anyone can open it and verify if it's true? I can send those 3 files...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hv6478:
Backup your current EFS and simply try to flash that backup, see if it's still broken. Try the furthest back backup you have, best chance of being legit, unless you know otherwise. I had a big issue regarding loss of LTE due to a lack of EFS backup. Let me know if you can't figure it out.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonBourne.Qc:
Too many try, seriously, i'll give up soon but if you're THE man...i can give you a chance :)

No backup are working but still no error...

I have the IMEI, the sim serial number and the sim state is set to "Ready"...but I don't have network signal any more...cant text or call, no 3g or 4g or lte...what's wrong?

If anyone can send me the EFS backup file that contain the network info for the canadian E973...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hv6478:
Lol I definitely wouldn't say I'm "THE" man. I may have helped a bit, but it was more thanks to Paulicat and autoprime that I was able to get going. There are a couple of specific things that need to be looked at. You can't use an EFS backup from a different phone because it contains a lot of device-specific and "personal" info (yes, including IMEI, which is a no-no to play around with). If you can't find any workable EFS backups, you may have no choice to try what we did. I'll drop a line to autoprime to see if we can move forward with another test of the fix. I'll PM you later today, gotta work, but hopefully we can get this done.

But, you're on the Telus version, E973? Not Rogers, E971?

Thanks,

hv
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonBourne.Qc:
U

Right on sir, I'm on Telus E973...I don't really use mobile data but I need to send SMS or Call...

I don't have carrier contract with it, I just use pre-paid card for 1 year long...

For the EFS, there're 3 files (m9kefs1, m9kefs2 & m9kefs3)...the first and the second contain network & device infos, but the third seems to be blank...So if we can get 1 of the 2 with network infos, that would be nice...

I have a thread in the other forum right HERE!!!! for that issue.

Edit: I backup my current (not working) efs partition and flash the backup right after but no result...no signal at all but still have the IMEI...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
Have you tried flashing the telus radio again? Your issue sounds like what happened to me a couple of years ago when I flashed the wrong radio on a nexus s.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] iamtha1:
Have u checked ur APN settings to make sure u r on the right one?

That was meant for jasonbourne....:what:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonBourne.Qc:
Can you please provide me the right link for the telus radio?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
Try this: http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/lgog/modem/Canadian/cwm-lgog_e973-JB-TELUS_NEW_modem.zip
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonBourne.Qc:
Thanks sir, i just flashed it and when i try to find network, i can see Telus, Roger & Bell network but i can't connect to it even if i select "automatic"...and my phone number still unknown...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
You may want to call Telus and ask about a new Sim... If you can see networks and your imei is displayed I would guess it's not efs or radio.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonBourne.Qc:
Well, i got 2 different sim cards...i'll try to reactivate the other one tomorrow and give you feedback as well...thanks guys for your help, really appreciated :good:

P.S: if you have any other idea what could be that issue, share it with us :D

Edit: i just change my sim card and same result, i can see Telus Bell & Roger network but can't select it ...also, my phone number appear in the setting so now it is "known"...but i saw something strange...i have my IMEI but on the Telus website, the IMEI is marked as "Unknown"...maybe that's the problem? What do you think? I think we're near the problem :D
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonBourne.Qc:
Ok, i just go back to Telus website...my IMEI is display but i don't get network at all...also when i try to select Network in phone setting, it says ''Sim Card can't connect to the network''...what's that mean? :eek:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonBourne.Qc:
Ok, here's the trick...you won't believe that!!!

I just called my carrier about that network issue and they told me that MY phone was report as lost or stolen = WTF??

I bought it on May 26th (2013) and since the last weekend, I cannot use any sim card with my phone because the IMEI is blocked in their

database...so anything I can do? :confused: :eek:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] plaster:
If its not stolen, then telus either needs to unblock it, or give you a new phone. Especially true if you bought the phone from them.

If you bought it from a private seller, it may actually be lost, or stolen. In that case, try to get your money back and buy a phone from telus. I personally never buy from a private seller. This is why.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonBourne.Qc:
Yea, i bought it on ebay and the seller was about 100% feedback...so I called Telus and they give me the phone number of the fraud department...i'll have a talk with them tomorrow and see if they can unblock it... :fingercrossed:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cdub50:
Awesome work!!!!!! Noticing voice + force closes is that a known issue? Let me know if a log might help debug. One feature if possible if camera can save to SD card. I flashed banks photosphere camera not sure if that option is just not included. Also tried to set in focal but didn't see the option.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dvhexer:
No, at least for now. selinux brings additional difficulties making a universal build.

No, at least camera will not work: E975 has a different camera

bluetooth works fine for me

MHL is in the next build which is being uploaded now ;)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
Geez, slow down I can't flash fast enough :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
After setting CM File Manager to root access mode, I immediately get an error - "Error detected The file or folder was not found" for my internal storage. I can't browse to /storage/emulated/0 in root access mode either. I can, however, set file manager back to safe mode and access my files without any issue. What's up?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Abu Nazir:
Hey guys. I was wanting to know if u are getting good battery life from this rom or not? I for some reason am not and I just can't seam to get it dialed in on trickster for some reason. I know its me or my phone not the rom. Any suggestions? What settings u guys using? Thanks in advance. And superb rom non the less. Thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
seems that internal storage is now /data/media/0, and /storage/emulated/0 is an alias to it that only works as non-root(?)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cdub50:
If you use the Super User install zip instead of built root user perms you can browse to /storage/emulated/0.

Is voice + for closing for anyone else? Can't seem to get it to work. Running latest release.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] OMGMatrix:
Honestly you're probably messing with it too much.

I have mine on Ondemand with MPdecision, default clocking, global undervolt -75 (I have a 3=FAST CPU) and I'm Averaging like 5 hours screen on time (and this is like with playing graphically intensive games like GTA Vice City).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Abu Nazir:
Ok ya. Yur Probly right. I will try what yur doing. I need to find out my CPU type. Been meaning to do that. 5hours screen on is amazing. Thanks a lot man. Appreciate the reply. :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] galeonui9590:
I typed the command "adb shell dmesg | grep PVS in terminal but it showed that "device not found".
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
This is not an adb support thread.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] OMGMatrix:
I always have to use:

cat /proc/last_kmsg | busybox grep PVS

Because the one you're using never works for me either.

This way does require busybox, however. Also, be sure you're doing it right after booting, possibly even rebooting twice in a row. Last kmsg gets dumped pretty quickly.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] zymphad:
Doesn't matter really. Its not the CPU that drains your battery, its your screen. IPS super bright and 720 @ 318 PPI? There aren't any screens on laptops that come close to this screen for example, sad as that is.

I noticed that on stock ROM, LG warns don't have screen on max brightness since it will get hot and drain battery. Even at 50% its bright.

As for voltage etc.... I found its just random. Even on PC. I have nominal and I been running stable -100. I think its screen brightness and keeping your clock speed low is more important.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] carrett:
Type adb shell, then hit enter, THEN type the rest. adb shell puts you in a command prompt for your phone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] zymphad:
Still won't matter. If you read the thread where that is discussed some with fast can't under volt as low as some with nominal. You just have to see what is stable for you.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ActionMax09:
If there is a thread about that then why don't you'll discuss this over there. :thumbdown:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
All of the undervolters seem to enjoy hijacking ROM threads.

Anyway, I'm definitely seeing a flickering/refresh issue in chrome when zooming our clicking in text boxes only with this ROM. Anyone else?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] guapinoy:
Don't have this issue. I'm running the latest build.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Neroga:
Try disabling h/w overlay.

Sent from my Optimus G
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
Definitely just got a demigod crash handler green screen while taking pictures with the aosp camera (not focal). Using e973. Also is there any way to make LEDs function like they do in the cm 10.1 alternate ROM from 7/13?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] weebsurfer:
Hope you didn't drop your EMI on the forum and got punk'd by some troll. :( might be a good cover story for you either way though.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonBourne.Qc:
Nope, i never tell or write my IMEI on any forum...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Is there anything that can be done through eBay?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
So despite there being official cm nightlies this is still one of the most active threads on the forum. Is it safe to say that most of us still prefer this build? Has anyone heard from dvhexer since 09/04?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] weebsurfer:
Comments on the official don't illicit much confidence from me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonBourne.Qc:
I just contacted the seller as well and tell him what's the problem right now...He's ready to help me but I don't figure out how he can...

The IMEI is locked in the Carrier Database...the only way to get it back on track is by contacting the Telus fraud department...oh god :confused: :eek:

But if nothing can be done, I will contact Paypal as well.

Edit: Anyone had try changing his phone IMEI? Or it's more like pain in the a** ?

Edit no.2: I just read that changing my current (blocked) IMEI by an other one can reactivate the phone on the network...is this true?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dcarr622:
Changing the IMEI is illegal in most countries and discussing it on XDA is usually frowned upon.

If you haven't done so already, sounds like it's time to open a PayPal dispute.

Bluetooth unpaired after reboot ?

Guys, this ROM works very well for me but except for the Bluetooth that I just discovered this couple of days after I rebooted it. I'm using the 20130904 build: cm-10.2-20130904-UNOFFICIAL-geeb.zip. I can pair the Bluetooth with my car's SYNC Bluetooth successfully. But after I reboot the phone it will not automatically pair with SYNC any more. The Bluetooth is turned on and it can see SYNC. The stock ROM and TheBase ROM I used before CM worked well with SYNC.

So I wonder if anyone has seen the same issue ? Or is there anything I need to do to persist the Bluetooth pairing ?

Thanks much !

When I take pics up close the camera freaks out And I see a green line on the screen then the screen goes borked. I see two of everything. I exit out and camera is just a black screen. This only happens with close up pics
[AT&T LG Optimus G] weebsurfer:
Happened with me yesterday. Had to reboot to fix it. Hope it's not persistent. But glad I'm not alone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mathsz:
Although it hasn't gotten much attention, bluetooth is definitely not as good as lg stock or asop stock. I do not know the details on that, as to why it's not as good.

but, Chadouming's latest CM build works. My aosp (or snowleopardJB's) works fine too. I have yet to find another one that works well. Next step for me is actually trying to build with latest teamlgog vendor files to see if it improves anything. Anyway, Up to here, two 4.3 roms work well and with all adapters for me (bluetooth wise) AOSP (see at_T forum - or canadian forum and flash nfc fix) and chadouming's CM (10-04)

good luck. This has gotten zero attention lately and even I still have to find out how or what cured it. Or why it works well on aosp...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] weebsurfer:
I actually found stock bluetooth horrible. Slow to connect, if at all automatically without multiple resets of bluetooth. Apps on the other hand seem very inconsistent in updates in their ability to communicate with bluetooth device controls.

flashed official CM 10.2 and all seem fine now

I just found the CM 10.2 official for E970 after posting so I flashed the 10/1 nightly build. turned out working really well, including BT !
[AT&T LG Optimus G] 2disbetter:
I've been using the 9/04 from dvhexer and it is working the best out of all of the availible CM builds. I found the current nightly to have a huge battery drain problem. Looking at the screen for 1 minute would see 3-5% life disappear.

Other than the battery drain which I was too lazy to determine the source of, the latest nightly seems pretty refined. Just need to get power management under control.

2d
[AT&T LG Optimus G] weebsurfer:
I've been in the same boat. Tried the nightlys and things did not go well for me on my e971, especially battery drain. So do we assume dvhexer's build is done and move on to this when we're brave enough? I may just stick with dvhexer's and wait for 4.4 to flow.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
Paulicat built a CM ROM based off of dvhexer's (as far as I can tell) and the last build was 10/09. I'm running it on my e973 and everything works perfectly, including the notification light. He never officially released it but if you search his u/n on androidfilehost, you'll find it. Now, he may not be developing for the LGOG anymore either :(
