There was an earlier post by one of the devs or the op that said don't mess with network mode. Upon flashing data might not work until reboot but will work after that. I have had no trouble with data and I have not touched network mode

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

BTW my network mode is set to the default 3g but 4g is still working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lesclark:
when I flashed the 2nd release, I did not touch the 3G or 4G buttons and it switches between both just fine. when I flashed the first release, I tried to select 4G and all I could get to work was 3G. not sure if all phones work this way or not.

To follow up since I haven't seen it mentioned by anyone else, I tested this with a friends N5 and he had no issues with streaming Play Music via BT to his car and locking/unlocking the screen. Tried my phone on his BT system and still had the issue.

Any recommended apps to try to capture a logcat while in the car? I'll give aLogcat a try later today if I have a chance.

Ate you maintaining data connection during call? My post might have been a little convoluted, but that's the crux of my issue. I need to keep data during calls, add I have no Wi-Fi to fall back on. I lose it, even if I don't touch the network settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fairct:
There are a couple pieces that need to be fixed. It's a RIL bug by google, or so it seems. The network mode for 4G is 7, but google sets it to 8. Just changing the network mode button to have a value of 7 (via a device overlay) isn't enough, because there's a switch statement in packages/services/Telephony that prevents the mode of 7 being set. I have a patch on CM's gerrit for the telephony piece: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/53131/

2 fixes in google code regarding immersive mode

some minor fixes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhilD41:
Glad to see some updates. Sorry to see that the "known issues" are still present. I know that that are a little bigger issue than just Slim. Unfortunately I rely pretty heavy on a few apps that use the WebView extensively and they aren't usable at all with the GPU issue. Will be back on SlimKat in a nanosecond as soon as that is improved / fixed. Keep up the awesome work!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotrodwinston:
Or you could flash normal gapps and then run the universal odex script to odex not only gapps but other system apps and framework so ART is fully functional.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thetakerfan:
aLogcat didn't seem to do anything but another one did (logextreme or something).

Also, tried a different ROM today (FML) just to see, and it didn't seem to have the issue. Locked/unlocked the screen while playing music several times without issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Looks like there are a few odex scripts. I flashed the pa mako gapps odex and ART is working with a force close or two. One being Google Keyboard but others work.

What odex script are you referring to?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tshelby73:
Nice getting closer. In gonna stay with stable but will be watching closely.

That script put me in a bootloop after dexo -fr. No worries. I'm getting to many reboots and not seeing any better battery with ART so I'm going back to 4.3 until things get worked out on 4.4.

I guess I shouldn't say that with the battery. The reboots make it impossible to really tell.

EDIT: Also I just dirty flashed from Build 5.6. Yes I know it's not recommended to do so but I hoping for the best :D. Anyway it changed my signal icon to "LTE". I remember changing it back to the 4g icon before but I can't seem to find how to do it again.

I love Slimroms (still using slimbean 4.2.2) and would love to upgrade, but are users still experiencing mobile data issues?

Every 4.3+ ROM I have tried, mobile data has been too inconsistent for me to even consider using as a daily driver.

I don't know; perhaps I'm just looking for the current state of things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
4.2.x is still tops for data, makes sense, as the last set of modems are from that version OTA... That said, slim and omni have the very best data connectivity on 4.3+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bvsbutthd101:
I haven't had a problem with data on this ROM. I do however get random switches to 3g from time to time in known strong signal 4g areas but I don't think this a kit kat issue. Happened on 4.2.2 as well. Currently using Stable build 7 and having had any issues thus far. I also dirty flashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Az Biker:
I am running latest Stable 7 and although it's not my DD, I update it weekly (apps, contacts, etc) and to play with it for old time sake :D (completely different flashing methodology than the Gnex)

Never had data issues or any issues with Stable 7. Slim is so nice, it makes my Gnex feel relevant, so much so that it is dangerous for me: it actually allows me to push playing/experimenting with my Note 3 a little more recklessly than I normally would, because I am not that bummed out about having to run Slim on my Gnex as a DD if I bork my N3 :D

Slim has been an elite, professional looking/performing top notch rom since before I can remember, if kufi made Slim for the Note 3, I'd be running it too!

Wow this perfectly dirty flashes over Vanir 4.3.1. Usually I have to perform a bunch of /data/data permission fixing, but this booted right up with all my apps' data preserved. It even partially preserved some system apps' data. Probably a rare fluke but still worth noting.

Have there been any updates regarding the ability to disable the "vibrate on all notifications regardless of app settings when in vibrate mode" setting in SlimKat? I'm on the latest weekly (8.2) but don't see it. If not, are there any plans to add this?

FWIW... SlimKat has been amazing so far,although I've been on it for less than a day. The 3G/4G data handoff issues that have plagued my phone with every ROM I've tried post Android 4.2 haven't existed in SlimKat :good: (although I still experienced MMS problems as with all other ROMs., which I fix by using 8sms). However, even with all the huge positives, this is one seemingly small feature I don't think I'd be able to deal without. :/ I don't see any potential workarounds, either.

Camera.....

My camera sucks. I've put up with inconsistency for a while but I've got nothing now. Anything relating to the camera crashes. No torch, camera and snapchat both crash. Build 7, DirtyV.

Any recommendations? I don't have time to flash a new rom, but maybe another kernel today....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
Did you wipe caches?

Aside from that, dirty flash the rom. I doubt it's kernel related, but that's one way to clear up the issue. Could be hardware, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vladimirhtg:
The one reason I thought it could be the kernel was that the dev who does DirtyV does some fancy things with RAM, but I think that's his other kernel.

I could do a dirty flash....later. I've wiped caches and tinkered, I'm now officially ready to hit this issue.

Also worth noting...ran the stock kernel for a while before flashing DirtyV. Still had issues, but it worked 50% of the time. At best, with a ~20 second delay. Kind of weird. I love the rom, but it seems like the way the camera/torch is handled is kinda funky. But do I know what I'm talking about? Not really :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
I've never had camera issues on any of the weeklies i've run. I'd try a clean flash first, without installing a custom kernel right away (try included kernel I mean). Restoring the data of user apps using TiBu is probably okay, but your problem sounds like the result of installing a third party ramdisk included (not anykernel) kernel over a different (or different version of the same) and wiping the included ramdisk (and inadvertantly overwriting necessary drivers/modules for the camera) just my opinion.

but let it was so elegantly stated elsewhere (not saying the site), just how many 64 bits chips are out there for android right now.
