[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Awesome news. That drove me freaking nuts! Thanks for verifying.

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

Well I just flashed the latest nightly and it still does it :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrewc513:
Omni has never done it. I switched back to CM11 for a bit and it did it still, then went back to Omni. Surely it would be a simple fix if the proper devs/maintainers knew about it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Agreed 100%.

Unfortunately, it seems the only developer for the note 2 has dropped out almost completely :(

Reboot

Does anyone else's phone instantly reboot as soon as you try to open the Google+ app? Not sure why this has been happening with the last few nightlies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
Weird. It doesn't do it for me anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnewberry1:
Is anyone running the newest nightlys? Theme Manager freezes when I try to install a theme. I believe its a Samsung issue not like CMs newer theme engine. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one.

Edit: Disregard. Theme Manager is now working again. Good news!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilDX:
has anyone noticed extra lock screen pages (with the default lock screen clock/weather widget) being added randomly? I use NilS widget on my lock screen (PIN security enabled) and keep the extra pages empty, but every few days when I go to unlock, I notice that there are 2 or 3 extra lock screen pages with the default lock screen widget that I did not add. I deleted lockclock.apk from /system/app hoping that would stop this, and now I notice that the digital clock widget shows up on extra pages every now and then. the default lock screen with NilS is not affected at all.

this is on a clean install of a 2ish week old build. not a problem really, but I'm curious if it's just me...

GPS ISSUE

I get a GPS lock but it comes and goes and is unreliable.I used the casual unlock and flashed to CM11 via Phil recovery. I flashed the radio to MJ9 and to ND7 via Phil recovery, not ODIN. Could this be the cause of the inconsistent GPS and how do I fix it?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilDX:
mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock > android OS batt drain question:

for all you guys/gals who experience this frequently on this ROM (or any other AOSP based ROM), did you flash the mj9 firmware update via odin on you device? note, im not talking about the new radios that are available for flashing via CWM, but the firmware that is required for wifi to work on TW 4.3+.

the reason I ask is I've been testing a locked note 2 with official 4.3 TW, and even after traveling between good and poor service areas as usual, I have not experienced a single instance of this in over a week even though i didn't reboot once during this time. on AOSP derivative ROMs, I experience this wakelock almost daily even with daily reboots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimmypop13:
How is the camera? I had to give up on this rom a few months ago bc the camera was always freezing and then it wouldn't connect until a reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
camera seems better to me, for the last 3 or 4 weeks. sbrissen said he was going to work on the camera issue (I think that's what I remember :) a couple months back. I haven't seen anything official from him, nothing saying he'd done anything about it, but I haven't been having the horrible camera issues lately. Every time I try to take a picture, it works just fine. Anybody else have any experiences or observations to share?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FullBeemz:
My camera freezes up but I'm not on the most current build. I don't restart my phone. I just kill the app in the background then restart it

MMS not sending

Just loaded the 2014-09-14 nightly, and couldn't send pics via MMS. Restored my last backup, the 2014-09-10 nightly, and now they send just fine. Anybody else having that problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ultimatdan:
I'm also having that problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
I see some MMS stuff in the change-log for the next nightly.

http://www.cmxlog.com/11/i605/

Hopefully that'll fix this problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ultimatdan:
I'll look forward to hearing if that fixed it before i try installing!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Stratejaket:
I stuck with 10.2 for a long time. I finally made the jump to 11. Nice and smooth, the only issue is the MMS, running the 9/13 nightly. Whenever I try to send or receive an MMS the No APN settings configured toast appears constantly until I delete the mms. SMS appears to work just fine, as well as data.

If I go into the settings>mobile networks > Access point names it only lists Verizon apns. Under the Verizon Internet there is no MMSC set. However, this can not be edited either if I try it just disappears until I reset to default.

When I go into the Hangouts Settings > SMS > Access point names, my only choices are MetroPCS and Sprint APNs? Once again editing or adding a new entry does not work.

Could this be the cause for the conflict somehow?

The apn.conf has so many extra entries. Does anyone have a trimmed down version that someone like myself who doesn't plan on traveling outside of the US could try?

Would nandroiding back to my 10.2 backup, then copying the apn.conf from that make any difference if added into cm 11?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
MMS appears to be a problem with the nightlies from about 9/13 to 9/15. I'm running the 9/10 nightly and MMS works fine in that. And I'm just now downloading the M10 snapshot to see if it's fixed there.

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

Hmm, M10 was even worse: it would start to boot, and one of several errors would pop up and then eventually start the boot logo animation again and error again, etc. Restoring now to the 9/10 backup I'd made....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Stratejaket:
Just for kicks I tried the M10 also. The phone.android process crashed non stop. I don't use mms often, just knowing it does not work bothers me.

What baseband are the majority of users using with cm11? I currently have the ND7 installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
I just came over from TW and flashed M10... Big mistake lol. Mine wouldnt even error, just an immediate power off like a battery pull and constantly. There isn't a 9/10 nightly available so im going to try the 9/11.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

I came from TW with ND7 and this M10 overwrote it with MJ9. I lost cell data after a couple hours also, but was able to use WiFi still
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Stratejaket:
I just realized that I lost cell connection now to after restoring my backup I made this morning. I tried to flash the ND7 radio again, but no luck with it working. Looks like a wipe and fresh install.. Ugh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Before you go to all that trouble, you might just try reinstalling the same nightly. For awhile there was a problem with restores: you'd lose all network connectivity after a restore. Just reinstalling the zip file would fix it. I don't remember the details. Seems like it had something to do with the Recovery. I installed Philz recovery, and haven't had that problem since, but I'd hoped that it'd been fixed in the Clockworkmod recovery, too. But maybe not....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Stratejaket:
Thanks for the Tip. I haven't been following the issues much. I was content with 10.2. I'm bored with it now and milking this phone until Dec when I can burn an upgrade and get the 4.

I was debating on flashing the 9/11 nightly and see if MMS was working.

Can you post the results of your flash?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chachi:
Weird ... 0912 nightly with devil kernel very happy, 0914 or 0915 wakelocks and battery drain again ...

No Voicemail Notifications

I just today figured out that I had 12 unheard voicemails...It seems as though ever since I've had a CM11 rom installed i havent been getting ANY notifications for voicemails. I was told someone left me one but I didnt see any notification, so i decided to just dial my own number to check...low and behold TWELVE unheard (not from the one person)...Is there something special that needs to be done or an app that needs to be downloaded in order for voicemail notifications to show up? Google Voice or a Verizon voicemail app or something? I think the TW roms just automatically had it integrated.

Another issue i've been having on the latest CM11 builds (currently running today's M10) is that the screen doesnt seem to turn off while in a phone call causing my ear to hit buttons and launch apps while talking to someone...is there a way to stop this from happening or is it a bug?

One last thing...I can safely report that MMS is working great on today's snapshot M10 build for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Stratejaket:
Did you do a fresh install with M10? I tried dirty and it bootlooped
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ultimatdan:
Ya wiped everything except my sd-card. Make sure you're on MJ9 with the N7 radio and the 06-06-2014 g-apps as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilDX:
you have to open the dialer app and go into settings to enable voicemail notifications. it's disabled be default for some reason. and you're not the only one who has missed voice mails because of it :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ultimatdan:
Holy crap...the setting is definitely disabled by default....WTF?????? I cannot believe that.

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
MMS worked (for me at least) on the 9/11 nightly, but the phone is still shutting off randomly. It instantly powers off and either stays off or sometimes will reboot by itself. The only thing I can surmise is that it's running out of RAM. Seems to only happen when I'm trying to run a few apps at once. If I kill each app in the task manager before opening a new one, sometimes it will survive. I'm having the same issue with M10, the 9/11 nightly and even LiquidSmooth 3.2. I'm wondering if I'm missing something unrelated. I'm doing complete wipes with philz recovery (Everything except external SD). I tried the agni kernel with each rom also and didn't make any difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Waiting for the note 4 myself!

Just installed the 9/17 nightly. It boots! Let's see if MMS works.... Well, it *says* it sent it. Hopefully it *actually* sent it :-\

PS: I just did a dirty flash (cleared cache and dalvik cache, but nothing else), and that worked fine.

PPS: MMS seems to *actually* work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrewc513:
Question about M10 from a rooted stock user... Is Tap & Pay available? (AKA, is there HCE support for the NFC chip in AOSP yet?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Stratejaket:
MMS is working here on 9/17 to! In fact everything is working again. I had an issue with tethering, but deleting the WiFi folder and a reboot fixed that.

I never did upgrade to the MJ9 since I skipped 4.3. Apparently with 4.4 it is not necessary? Since everything is working is there any benefit to take the time to do it?

I've noticed with every CM the headset volume is always very low in calls. Does anyone know a fix, or a file I can edit to increase this volume? Music playback is fine, I only notice it in calls with a wired headset.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

I haven't used tap to pay, I live in an area that refuses technology. However, I have confirmed that NFC beam does in fact work very well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
I figured out my previous issue with the phone randomly powering off or rebooting itself.. turned out to be the battery lol. Not even rom related.

I odin'd back to MC3, rooted & unlocked, flashed the 9/17 build and everything seems to be working flawlessly. I haven't had a single FC // GPS is very accurate without any tweaks // Bluetooth, WiFi and MMS all work // Cast Screen doesn't work, but I don't think is ever has in CM if I'm not mistaken.

On the latest CM11 builds it seems that the screen doesn't turn off while in a phone call causing my ear to hit buttons and launch apps while talking to someone...is there a way to stop this from happening or is it a bug? Anyone else having this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
I've seen other 4.4.4 AOSP roms with the same issue, but luckily it hasn't been a problem for me. Sorry I can't be of any help, but you're not the only one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Masterx9:
How stable have these nightly's been as of late. Been a minute since I've ran CM11
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Not sure "stable" is the word I'd use, since they keep changing. But mostly the changes are minor. There were a couple of versions last week that just didn't work (or not very reliably, anyway), but for the most part the nightly's seem to work quite well.

Anyone experience bluetooth not working only in hangouts calls? Music and regular phone calls work fine, but when switching to bluetooth on hangouts, both the bluetooth speaker and microphone cut off. I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me. Switching back to phone speaker works fine.

CyanogenMod version

11-20140921-NIGHTLY-i605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Haven't tried that combination. But I see several commits relating to bluetooth on the 9/23 nightly. You might try that one....

And, there's a couple more bluetooth bits in the 9/25 nightly. Did either of those fix your problem with hangouts calls?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Just installed the 9/25 nightly, and the weatherbug doppler radar animation stopped working. I tried restoring to the previous backup, for the 9/23 nightly, but that didn't seem to fix it. So I reinstalled 9/25. I'm sure the animation was working yesterday. I'm not sure how the animation works, but it appears to be an overlay on google maps, and normally when I hit the play button, I could see it loading all the doppler radar graphics for the last hour, and they'd all sort of be there simultaneously until weatherbug started to play them back. But now it loads them all, and the timestamp at the bottom, that shows which graphic it's playing, progresses, but all the graphic images stay layered one on top of the other. Was thinking it might have something to do with the commits to stagefright in the 9/25 nightly. But you'd think that would have been fixed by rolling back to the previous nightly. But maybe some of those commits hang around in the system and aren't touched by the backup/restore process???

Everything else seems to be working well in the 9/25 nightly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] erc.:
Alright. I haven't tried CM11 yet, because my phone is working so well on CM10. It took me forever to get rid of the issues I had GPS locking and all of that.

I come back here and read the threads every couple weeks to see if I can stomach the upgrade or not. Discussion seems pretty slow. I see a lot of people reporting issues with MMS, and other things. I know a lot of the posts here are people having problems, but what's the consensus? Besides the weird random issues specific people are having, what are the common problems with CM11 on the Verizon Note II?

To be clear, I'm not interested in crack flashing nightlies anymore. I just want to find a good release and stick with it. Suggestions/Recommendations?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
The real problem, in my opinion, is that sbrissen has stopped developing for the note 2. so we get these random problems from commits that really have nothing to do with our phones. If you're happy with CM10, I'd just stick with it. If you want to upgrade to something, wait till the note 4 comes out, and buy one of those. (although, that'll have its own brand of random problems :-\ )
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] erc.:
I'll be honest, I probably won't be buying another Samsung phone for a while. The draw for me to the Note 2 initially was the active digitizer, but since getting a convertible laptop with one, I've used the s pen less and less.

I can't stand anything about Touchwiz. Aesthetically, I think it's beyond ugly. I've lost interest in tinkering with my phone to make it work without Touchwiz... and I'm sick of having to choose between an ugly UI and reliable functionality.

I think what that means is my only two choices for a phone are Motorola or a Nexus device... and being a Verizon customer, a Nexus device is probably not very likely. I was on board for the new Moto X, until reports of the sub-par battery life surfaced.. so Idunno. I'll stick with CM10 on my Note 2 until something that meets those requirements is released. I may be waiting for a while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Agreed. I don't see anything particularly exciting on the cellphone horizon. Samsung makes some fairly nice phones, but they don't seem to want anyone but their own developers playing with them. I keep hoping for something game changing from Nexus, but.... Anyway, I don't mind my old Note 2. Just glad I rooted it before Samsung locked it down... again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ultimatdan:
Battery Life

Battery life still seems to be pretty bad on the latest cm11 builds...I was getting almost double or more on TouchWiz roms. Did a clean install of 09/25 wiping everything except SD. Had wifi and gps off. Installed Greenify (which doesnt actually seem to do much). Woke up this morning with 40% less battery life than when I went to bed 7 hours prior. Maybe installing a different kernel besides the one that installs with the nightly will help this? Not sure what to do... Any thoughts? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chachi:
Latest nightly with newest devil t0lte kernel runs very smoothly for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ultimatdan:
Which Devil kernel? There seems to be a Devil2. Is it this one: Devil2-2.3.2-t0lte-DUAL-20140102.zip ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Wow, that sounds a bit weird. Mine doesn't drop nearly that much. Maybe 10% overnight. Maybe not even that much. The only battery-related config I've set is to make wifi stay on during sleep only when plugged in. Other than that, maybe once or twice a year, mine will get horrible battery discharge, something like what you're talking about, and it seems to be some looping or hung process, so a simple reboot fixes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilDX:
would be interesting to know if you have a mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock keeping your phone awake...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ultimatdan:
Would that be from a clean install of the 09/25 nightly? Where would i find that line and what should i change it to? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilDX:
it's a wakelock that appears to be related to data connections with towers, it's not something you can change. in settings > battery, it will be included as part of "android operating system", so you'll see that item at the top of the battery usage list. but since multiple things can contribute to android operating system, you'll need an app like gsam battery, wakelock detector, or better battery stats to see if the actual wakelock is caused by mdm_hsic_pm0. and then, after going through all that, you can reboot your phone because that's the only thing that'll fix it. until it happens again :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RoyVegasPinoy:
Just tried up to 09/28 and still did not fix the issue. Can someone please try to replicate the bluetooth calling via hangouts to confirm if it's a device issue or if it's the ROM? Thanks.

Looks like there's a ton of bluetooth commits for the next nightly. Hopefully one of them will fix your problem. Sorry I don't use hangouts (and barely use bluetooth), or I'd be testing this myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FullBeemz:
Should I wait to update? How have the latest releases been?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
I suppose that depends on what you're updating from and what you expect to get from a release. The latest nightlies seem very solid. But that's all I've ever used on my phone, so I don't have much to compare it to. There doesn't appear to be much that directly affects the Note 2 lately, since there is no one actively developing for it anymore. But there are lots of commits from upstream, which may or may not make any difference to us. I've been downloading and installing the latest nightlies whenever it looks like there have been any significant commits, and have almost never had any problems. See this link for the change log:

http://www.cmxlog.com/11/i605/

That said, it appears the latest nightly, cm-11-20141016-NIGHTLY-i605.zip, hasn't actually made it onto any of the repositories.

Several hours later, 10/16 still not there....

Finally showed up, at least on some mirrors, 12 hours after I originally tried to download it. And this morning the 10/17 nightly doesn't seem to be available. Looks like there's some problem with the nightly build and distribution system.
