It also seems to only affect Verizon devices.

I had to exchange my phone the GPS got much better but it still not good. My original phone def had a GPS hardware problem as it did not work on stock ROM.

So its pretty much a software issue. I'm sure when LG releases 4.4 for our phones the updated software should fix it.

Until then I'm living with it
[Verizon LG G2] Napa7m:
Zero problems with GPS on this ROM for quite some time now. It's unfortunate that some of you are still seeing issues.

I had some issues with the very first few builds. Once it was fixed there was still issues with the compass. But it's all fixed now.

Could GApps have anything to do with this?

What GApps are you guys using?

How are you determining that GPS is not working?

Check out an app called GPS Test By Chartcross Ltd, and see what you get.
[Verizon LG G2] ppeklak:
I used GPS test under stock (For like 10 min) then restored a cm build, updated using the built in update method and now GPS worked
[Verizon LG G2] datsyuk:
Last build running really hot for me (idling around 39 C) anyone else?
[Verizon LG G2] markcyst:
If you're having gps problems, just do a warranty replacement. I don't think anyone is going to spend much time trying to fix a problem the majority of users don't have. To make it clear, most of us are having zero problems with gps. Your best bet is just trying a new phone.
[Verizon LG G2] ddarvish:
any chance we can get the stock LG nfc libs in order to use isis on this rom
[Verizon LG G2] jordanl17:
I will say that immediately after the first boot, flashing 0105 build, I had SEVERE lag. My phone did feel hot. I figured that some "optimization" was going on in the background so I put the phone down and didn't check it for about 20 min. After that it was cool, and running liquid smooth. That's the first time that's ever happened.. I'm guessing it's related to your high temp? who knows. I'm very happy with the latest builds.

I haven't clean flashed since the first Unofficial CM11

PS. I haven't had an SOD in a few days... ? because I just typed that, I will get one today. ha.
[Verizon LG G2] koboltzz:
Since there is no active device specific development in terms of the kernel, they will stay there forever. Sometimes one can have luck and do not use the phone without break or flash every day a new nightly. Let it settle down, and for sure, the day will come you encounter SOD and/or reboot.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
I'm sure one we get LG's official 4.4 the CM team will use the 4.4 kernel sources. Right now we are using 4.2 kernel source merged into one of CAF's 4.2 kernel tags, and then cherry-picked to run on 4.4. I'm pretty sure the SOD bug came into play when the official LG kernel sources were merged into the CAF kernel source
[Verizon LG G2] datsyuk:
Haha I had some major lag in the beginning too that I've never seen before it was soooooo laggy lmao. Let's see how it does today with the heat.
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
I recently just bought the g2. I had the GPS issue. To fix it I simply flashed a stock ROM got a GPS lock rebooted into recovery and flashed CM11

Before this I had the Droid DNA and that device suffered from the same issue (having to flash stock ROM get a GPS lock reboot into recovery and flash CM).

The maintainer for that branch ( [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] ) developed a patch that allowed users just to flash CM with the GPS lock flashing stock hack and it worked.

I'm no developer but perhaps someone here with more knowledge or the maintainer for this device can take a look at the dlx branch and maybe that same kind of patch can be implemented here.

I used something else when I first went to CM11-Unofficial as PA's weren't available yet. If I was to fresh flash today, I would use the PA GAPPS from the link above.

There are other opinions on this, and I'm not an expert.

I already have cm11 flashed.. I used 4.4 gapps.. But I read on a post that you need 4.3 gapps for cm11.. I just wasn't sure.. Everything seems tone running great.. I'm thinking about deleting my twrp backup so I can get my 3gb of storage back.. The only thing I would like to see is the stock lg camera and the lg remote.. I use the remote for almost every device in my house
[Verizon LG G2] jordanl17:
Stock camera and remote are available as links pages back in this thread. They both don't work if you are using ART.
[Verizon LG G2] ceredics:
Maybe that was said because of the kernel source not being 4.4 yet who knows. I'm still on stock unrooted. I've been back and forth and bricked and back so many times because I can't let all the features of LG software go. Silly me lol
[Verizon LG G2] joewaz:
Sir... I cannot tell you how I felt when I realized I deleted the twrp backup on accident and just wiped my whole system..lol... Thank god for xda I found the flash tool and put stock back on (BTW I believe this resets the phone so they can't tell its ever been rooted.. Correct me if I'm wrong) I also got caught in the cwm boot loop so there went the neighborhood.. Downloaded adb tools and used adb for the first time.. Out of all this I have gained a sense of comfort.. Knowing there's absolutely nothing I can do that can't be fixed ..lol
[Verizon LG G2] ceredics:
I've been there so many times bud. The sick feeling and loss of appetite. Trust me I know. But when it happens and happens you kinda get like me, "ugh here I go having to go all the way back", ya know? Lol I guess the G2 caught me a few things about flashing without a unlocked boot loader.

Considering the break I took from this place then coming back too so yea
[Verizon LG G2] joewaz:
But yeah I have to say.. This is the most stable ROM I have run yet.. Absolutely everything works.. I even have the lg remote working which is awesome because I have it set up for every single piece of electronics in my home. The only thing I would love to see working that ismt is the stock lg camera with all of its features working..

Yea I use the remote for all my tv's when my wife steals theme remotes lol and I agree on the camera too!

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

It works flawlessly on custom ROMs for most of us. The 1st noticeable variable would be the phone itself. I'd confidently wager if you got a replacement, and threw CM on it, you'd be fine. If the problem was CM, everyone running CM would have gps problems, no?
[Verizon LG G2] ppeklak:
if the problem was hardware, everyone running stock (with the gps problem in CM) would have gps problems, no?

I've ran into the same problem....works fine on stock always, then ill flash into CM and it will break eventually, but when I reflash stock and get a good lock with multiple sats then reflash back to CM, it works fine.

that doesn't seem like hardware to me, but i'm no expert.

The dialer or phonesky might be broken. You could pull the dialer and phonesky from a freshly downloaded zip and replace the current ones in system/app in root exolorer app. Or just do a fresh install. Your choice.
[Verizon LG G2] joewaz:
OK I made my decision.. I'm going to run cm11 and delete my twrp backup so I can have 3gigs opened back up.. But if.. And only if someone can get the lg remote working for me.. I have the remote installed but none if the codes for the TVs are there.. So whomever helps me fix this and get it working properly will receive a smile from me and maybe even a thank you.
[Verizon LG G2] egamerhdk:
I really dont want to do a fresh install. How would I go about pulling the dialier/phonesky from a zip? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon LG G2] markcyst:
The original Droid had a problem, not all phones could run the same kernels, some low voltage kernels would crash some phones, not others. Some Droids could overclock higher and more stable than other Droids. All hardware in phones or computers is definitely not created equal. Software however, doesn't change from device to device.

Has anyone tried any successful work-arounds to maintain Bluetooth connectivity with a vehicle?

Been on the CM11 nightlies and can connect and even update the address book with the vehicle but always loses connection with a force close on the phone. I've seen people posting about issues with Bluetooth (specifically vehicles) since the CM11 nightlies started but haven't seen anyone posting that they have no issues so assuming the rest simply don't use it.

I'm having an issue with my proximity sensor. If I make a call and don't hold the phone to my face the screen stays on (good) then I put it to my face and the screen turns off (good) then I take it away from my face and the screen stays off (bad) and pushing the power button does nothing so I can't hang up or access the dial pad or mute/unmute. It takes a little while to respond after that. If I'm on the phone and the other person hangs up the screen also stays off (bad) in the same way. No other issues though. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

[Verizon LG G2] stelthy77:
I have had a lot of Bluetooth issues. Connecting to my Martian smart watch causes FC. If I quickly reboot the phone it will stay connected until I have to reconnect.

I have tried a clean install without luck. My google-fu shows that there are lots of other people are complaining about Bluetooth issues like this with KitKat, mostly from Nexus 5 users.

I will test it with my car tonight, but I think the FC is related to the messaging request (the smart watch will display MMS).

Another interesting fact, it worked fine when they Reverted Bluetooth changes a few weeks back, but when they reverted THAT it stopped working again.

Oddly I tried pinching the phone with my finger on the sensor (applying pressure to the front and back of the phone) and the sensor started working. It's not very responsive (my galaxy s2 is much faster) but it's not constantly reading 0 anymore. After some time it came a little loose again, but I pressed it back in and it works.

Anyone else having this issue? Would you consider this something I should try to have warrantied or replaced? I've only had the phone for 4 days. And this is my only issue thus far.

Thanks for all that information. You may be onto something with the messaging capability as my vehicle also supports this functionality. Bluetooth itself works (aka simple headset), just not with my vehicle. Thanks for the link, I'll try digging into my car settings to see if I can disable any of the more advanced features to see if it will eliminate the connectivity issues.

Well in 11 hours with streaming Pandora for approximately 5 hours only used 20% battery. Only had it lock up once And force a restart. (Typically phone asleep (no Pandora at that time) and went to unlock to check notification and it wouldn't unlock, so manually forced a restart) Haven't changed any kernel settings yet though. Relatively low screen on time though. Since it restarted the battery stats are jacked up and only show post restart.
[Verizon LG G2] steeltkb:
I sometimes have this, too. Sometimes the screen comes back on after 5 seconds or so (of me shaking the phone), and I can hang up. Sometimes pressing the power button wakes the phone, and then I can hang up.
[Verizon LG G2] kg2128:
It can be software or hardware. This exact problem was happening on my dad's Galaxy S4. Some people were saying it's a hardware defect, and they got it replaced under warranty. Others were saying it is because dust got into the proximity sensor and threw off the reading, and they blew compressed air through the speaker and got rid of the dust and it worked fine again (that did not work for me). I had CM10.2 on the Galaxy S4 so I tried flashing a touchwiz rom and it got rid of part of the problem (the screen refusing to turn back on right away part) but it still didn't fix it completely. After the phone touches the head and then is placed away from the head, it won't turn back on automatically; you have to press a button to turn the screen back on. So if you want to be safe just get the phone exchanged, otherwise try the compressed air trick or non-aosp rom.

This is my first day with the phone and I've had it happen 10+ times already...

Edit: So it happened again and I let it run its course instead of immediately forcing it to reboot. It's not really freezing, more like getting incredibly laggy. It will clear up after like 30 seconds, but then happen immediately if I do something. Only way to fix it is to reboot.

[Verizon LG G2] polaric:
Okay we need to stop speculating with "I noticed more of X in the last two nightlies" "So did I!" and actually begin to track down a problem. I won't deny that there is diffidently always a few nightlies where something gets significantly worse. Personally I had to go back to 1/9. So if two of us noticed a large amount of reboots/freezes on 1/10 and 1/11, then lets look at the changelog to see any possible changes that could cause it. Lets actually help the devs instead of speculating.

I also know that getting freezes is out of pattern for me, in all the time I had run CM11 I had gotten only two freezes(Not reboots, but 45sec freezes). Now since the 1/10 nightly I got one about every two hours or so.

I also know that the SODs/Reboots/Freezes don't have anything to do with bluetooth/GPS, I have both turned off 24/7.

Just briefly looking at the changelog for 1/10, I see the following possibilities. Anyone is welcome to correct me with better posibilities.

init.local.rc: Tweak KSM values (android_vendor_cm)

Use msm8974 directory for msm8226 (android_hardware_qcom_display)

Fix fatal exception due to missing looper for current thread. (android_frameworks_base)

I can't say I'd know where to look for reasons on the reboots, but I can share my experience. I was getting them rather frequently when I first jumped onto CM 11 doing a clean flash of the 1-8 nightly. I ended up running permission fix through ROM manager, switching the CPU governor to ondemand, and wiping cache/dalvik-cache x3 (in addition to doing this before installing the ROM) in recovery. After that I didn't get a single reboot for two days and had no issues with ROM stability. The reboots came back after dirty flashing the 1-10 nightly. I'm going to try another clean install today and see how it goes.
[Verizon LG G2] jordanl17:
It's a kernel issue correct? No one but LG is working on our kernel. People have messed with all available settings and SODs still happen.

I'm with the group that believes once LG releases the official G2 4.4, we'll grab what we need from that and be all set! I hope. But the 3 or 4 daily posts to discuss theories doesn't bother me at all.
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
So I'm wondering if I'm experiencing the same issue as everyone else. I have yet to get any random reboots or freezing. My device just seems to get really laggy at random times, almost to the point of looking frozen for 30 seconds or so before freezing on another screen, and becomes unusable. It doesn't reboot on its own and it only happens when I'm actively using the device with the screen on (never had any issues when the device is sleeping).

Mine seems significantly less stable lately; where I had very few to no SODs and reboots, I've been getting them multiple times a day. I almost want to say it was around the 5th or so I noticed it. I figured it had to do with the large number of changes to the kernel in the past week.
