[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] BracesForImpact:
I found the stock firmware for 4.1.2 and flashed it successfully. It was a software issue after all. As soon as I was done registering the phone again I had service. Glad it was just that instead of the SIM or something worse. Also, it's nice to have the stock firmware in case something goes wrong in the future.

One thing that's struck me is how many of us get different results. There are posts and posts of people here saying this or that went wrong after flashing a new nightly. Particularly a few pages back some people were having GPS problems. I use mine all the time and have never had a problem. If I do flash and have a problem, a full wipe usually resolves it. As of late the only consistent problems I've has with the nightlies are low call and speaker volume, and the inability to connect to bluetooth for phone purposes (media for bluetooth works fine).

Being back on stock the last couple of days, after several months, I realize how slow and choppy it feels next to CM11. Ugh, I need to flash back to CM soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Bamofo666:
Can you provide a link to the stock ROM please.

Also, the latest update wont recognise my sim.

Is anyone else having that problem?

Bam
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] dallen50:
Yes! The 9/6 nightly definately has problems! Flashed that one as an update and suddenly, NO SERVICE!! Had to go back to the 9/4 version. Will wait till next nightly and try that one.
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] BracesForImpact:
I'm on my phone, but I believe this was the link. You will have to register to download, but it doesn't cost, so no worries. http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10777 it flashed quite nicely with Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Bamofo666:
Thank you

Bam
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] BracesForImpact:
Still same problem here too with the nightlies causing you to lose signal completely. As of Saturday. 9/4 works fine as far as I can see.

After the 6/9 build both IMEI & Baseband Version is unknown.

I tried backing up & restoring the efs & radio in recovery, odin, through terminal emulator but no luck.

When I go back to the 4/9 build I get force closes, so I can't use it & I don't want to lose data. Any help?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I437
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Bamofo666:
Don't bother with the 09 update. It's still not fixed.

It sure would be nice to have the CM contact info so I can report this and some of the other problems that have gone unresolved for months now.

Bam
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Samkitpalecha:
You can report it here but make sure you report with logs ok !
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] dallen50:
jt is aware of the problem, and has said that the September 6th nightly broke the modem, due to updates for one of the other Samsung models. He has said he is working on a fix. Until then, the September 4th nightly is the last working one for our phones.

Don
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jt1134:
details in OP

you've never once posted a log, saying "XYZ doesn't work" is not a valid bug report.

service issues should be resolved in the upcoming nightly

is it _really_ that hard for people to read the OP and follow the bug reporting procedures? I have very little time and resources to dedicate to this project and I GUARANTEE YOU that NO ONE has stepped up to help in any way at all. Help me help you folks. It doesn't take much of a change to completely break these builds (as we've seen multiple times) and other developers are constantly making changes. Most of my time is spent cleaning up that type of mess, and I don't even use the nightlies, you guys do.

(and seriously the "entitlement" attitude of some folks for bug fixes, etc is so off-putting...I put a lot of work in, do your part)
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jt1134:
And just for clarification, THIS thread is for device-specific bugs only. This means hardware related. Phone calls don't work, camera broken, etc. If there's a bug like an icon being too small or out of place, some feature that's NOT hardware-related is not working, do not post about it here. I don't work on CyanogenMod-specific bugs. Post about them to JIRA : http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_The_JIRA_project_management_system

(and I literally googled "report bug cyanogenmod" to find the JIRA page)
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] dallen50:
Many thanks jt for all the time you have and are spending on this ROM for us! I know that at least some of us deeply appreciate your time and effort, especially since this is your spare time you spend without being paid for it!

Thanks so much,

Don
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] BracesForImpact:
Hopefully my posts weren't misunderstood as showing a sense of entitlement. If anything, being back on stock this last few days really makes me appreciate the work you do. I'm back on the 9/4 build now and can breathe a sigh of relief. This is a long, old thread and I didn't even know a dev was watching it anymore. Thanks for pointing us to the OP, and I'll try to help as best I can to get logcats or something substantial when I spot an error.

I personally do appreciate your hard work in making this work as well as it does. Most nightlies are quite stable for me and rarely break anything very important.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] dallen50:
jt!! Just installed the September 10th nightly and you fixed it!! Everything works super! Thanks so much for your hard work!

Don
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] BracesForImpact:
Confirmed, good fix here.

Thank You.
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Samkitpalecha:
What about the in call volume ?
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] dallen50:
For me, at least, in call volume was much improved weeks ago with a fix that jt accomplished. Only problem remaining is bluetooth and that's a minor one.

What rooting method is being used?
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] BracesForImpact:
Yes. Bluetooth works except for phone audio for me. Music is fine.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Depau:
I just saw this post and I thought it would have been nice at least to thank you for your work. I know what it means to be a dev, have little free time and see users bothering like that. I would have helped because it's a project I really use but I can only program Python. I'm planning on learning C at some point, when I have more free time (I have a lot to study at the moment), I might help you then unless I change phone.

Thanks again.

Bye.

Issue: GPS not working (high accuracy location only, low accuracy location works)

What is your--

Phone model: SGH-I437P (it says it's a non-P version for some reason, however NFC works)

Radio (baseband): I437UCCMB3

CM version: 11, 2014-09-12 (gonna test it in the latest build soon)

CM Download url: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=expressatt

Gapps version: 2014-06-06 (from CyanogenMod's wiki)

Did you--

wipe: No

restore with titanium backup: No

reboot after having the issue: multiple times

Are you using--

a task killer: No

a non-stock kernel: No

CMSettings/Performance settings (other than stock): Just using stock performance profiles

other modifications: Xposed Framework, but it doesn't work even when it's disabled

The phone simply can't get exact location data from the GPS. I uploaded the logcat too, but I think the reason behind this is some broken driver: in the kernel log there are a bunch of stack traces about a module called "prima", which I think might be broken, as it's also staging.

Take a look at the logs; I used an app called "Satellite Check" to test it, which just shows a "Waiting for GPS signal" screen. Google's "My Tracks" and Google Maps' navigation do the same thing. I do have GPS signal because it works perfectly on my Nexus 7.

If you need more testing or info tell me.
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] dallen50:
Realising, of course, that no two phones are exactly alike due to quality control issues, I have experienced no such problems with the GPS on my phone. The GPS is not the best in my area, due to a lot of hilly terrain, still I have had no GPS issues. The only thing I can suggest, as nasty as it is, is to return to the stock rom, then clear and reflash CyanogenMod. Sometimes, even if we clear everything, sometimes some little traces get left behind, especially for those of us that have tried multiple roms. Occasionally a return to stock seems to clean up the traces. Just a suggestion!
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jt1134:
Interesting logs. "Prima" is our qualcomm wifi chip. I haven't been able to reproduce the issues seen in your logs, but I have just pushed an updated version of the driver. Are there any issues with wifi?

As far as GPS, the logs look completely normal. The dlopen errors are to be expected, and harmless. GPS was broken recently due to the same changes that caused radio issues there for a while, but I've pushed up a fix for that too. Please try the latest nightly.

Also I'm not sure if it matters or not, but perhaps try updating your baseband as well: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47684651&postcount=2

I tested with my device, rebooted in airplane mode, enabled GPS, and it was able to get an accurate location in less than a minute. Screenshot from GPS test app attached. (This was tested with the latest nightly cm-11-20140921-NIGHTLY-expressatt.zip).
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Krsmqn:
Just curious if anyone else has had issues with video playback on YouTube? Audio is fine but video is distorted.
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Depau:
Sorry for the late answer. I have no idea. I actually never used the GPS until a couple days ago I decided to try the My tracks application to see how long was my daily walk, and when I saw it was taking too long to get GPS signal I decided to use the tablet (which works).

I'm on 20140922 right now and I've been waiting for satellites for 10 minutes, so I think you're right, there might be a problem with the baseband. I'll update it and let you know. Here are some new logs, just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Depau:
[MENTION=2562109]jt1134[/MENTION] Ok, I updated both the baseband (I have I437UCDMG3 now) and the bootloader (I flashed both the odin package and the UCCMB3 to UCDMG3 zip), and while the phone is still looking for satellites the tablet is already graphing.

I previously flashed the stock I437 (no P) firmware to unlock it (as somebody suggested), and after unlocking I flashed back CyanogenMod. I think it may be related to that, because I once flashed the whole package (including bootloader, etc; I usually use heimdall instead and flash the essentials only), and since then it thinks it's a I437 (no P) while it's a I437P and NFC is fully functional.

I wish I didn't do that.

Weird. New logs are below.

Anyway if somebody has an I437P with stock ABOOT, SBL2, SBL3, RPM, TZ and NON-HLOS, can we extract those images from their phone so that I can flash them with Heimdall?

[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] CZDaywalker:
Hi there, I was looking for answer in the general discussion but found nothing.

I have a problem with wifi settings.

When I left the area of wifi signal, the phone switches to mobile data without any problem.

When I am entering my wifi signal area the phone is unable to get the wifi connection.

If I am trying to open the wifi settings, got error message- unfortunately the settings has stopped.

Any idea how to fix this issue?

Thanks!

Is that cm-12? I was trying to checkout the cm-12.0 branch and try to build it but I didn't find any information... I don't want to re-init repo
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Samkitpalecha:
You rock jt1134 !! Thanks for making this device updated ☺ :)
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jt1134:
yes, and it's mostly working :D

most of the code is up on github, but it's still very much WIP overall at the moment
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Depau:
Nice! Good job! Keep us up to date! I'll try to build it next week, unless you build it for us ;)

One question: will the CyanogenMod build server start building cm-12 for this device as soon as you consider it stable enough or will you have to wait for the other developers to catch up/basic cm features to be implemented?
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jt1134:
Most of the device side is working now, so we should be good to go once the codebase is up to snuff and the build servers are setup for cm12.
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jt1134:
cm12 teaser

Here is a test build of CM12. It mostly works. Video recording is broken, I assume bluetooth SCO audio is still broken as well.

ROM :

http://www.mediafire.com/download/3uxb6xq4tfxpkrm/cm-12-20141120-UNOFFICIAL-expressatt.zip

md5sum: f76062111bce3637361682a900f721cc

Gapps :

https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps

ROM is unrooted.

SuperSU : http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

Make sure to wipe data.

No support is offered. This is a preview build. The answer to any and all questions is : TBD
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Depau:
Just tried it. I will not keep it, I'm flashing back CM 11, but I'll send you the logs, and what I found not working, hoping they'll be useful.

Wi-Fi just doesn't want to start. I didn't dig into it, but looking at the logs I can see it's a driver problem: there's no wlan0 interface, so wpa_supplicant can't start, it can't rfkill-unblock it, etc.

Same goes for bluetooth (are they managed by the same driver like in flo?)

The home button doesn't wake the phone up.

There's no offline charging, if I turn it off while it's connected to the charger it will just reboot.

I can't test NFC because I broke the original battery and I'm using an unofficial one without the antenna.

I can't tested GPS either because I'm on mobile data and I don't want to download a GPS testing application while on it.

Everything else just looks awesome, except for video recording, as you said.

The logs are attached.
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Samkitpalecha:
Its strange buddy because everything is working for me, GPS,Mobile data, NFC, WiFi, just video recording doesn't work on stock camera, else it works in snapchat :)

You should clean install maybe I cleared system, data, and cache and dalvik cache ...
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Asadullah:
I did a clean install of cm 11 snapshot m11 and flashed the cm11s zip from here. Only thing that didn't work was the camera and audiofx ( did it mostly for the lockscreen) .

Jt1134 any new test build? This one is nice but just lacks some extra settings :)
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Depau:
Nevermind, Wifi works. The problem was due to the fact that I wiped with TWRP, which only removes the stuff from /data/ instead of formatting it, in order to preserve the internal storage. I wiped it with twrp, which formats it instead and it now works.

My bad.

[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ShawnnKushh:
I really like the stability im getting from the rom you posted up for us, my bluetooth or wifi isnt working right now but im going to try switching to cwmr to wipe and fresh install.

Im getting occasional force closes when doing thongs with dialer, like editing contacts and such. Neither Wifi hotspot nor wifi direct worked initially, but ill report back once changing recoveries and such. There are some memory issues tho, i feel lag, and i can tell certain apps are being killed in background often.

Edit: I would like to know if we could start a separate thread for this unofficial cm12 and maybe have an updated build posted weekly? I like cm11 but I rele dig the changes google made on this new release
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jt1134:
The point of the teaser release was really just a teaser. I'm in the middle of a 2000+ mile move, so there won't be any updates until I'm settled.

[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] long2ski:
Asadullah, When you say "everything is working" does that include Bluetooth or is it a given that it does not work on phone audio? Also I could not get camera or audiofx to work on my i437P model, is it that different than i437?
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jt1134:

Jt1134 can you please tell the changes? And if the bluetooth works or not? It's just a normal request so don't bother if you haven't tested :)

Also, you should start a cm12 thread as the first build was very stable

Hey, dev? Uh, question.. Any idea when that leak is gonna be fixed? Like, have you read something we haven't? I know it isn't your fault.

I too am excited for cm12and want to thank Jt1134 but want cm11 to work in the meantime. Has anyone found a build (nightly or snapshot) that has bluetooth working reliably? Any suggestions?

EDIT: wow., had to try out cm12 and it seems to work great even as a preview. As clearly stated already, video and Bluetooth are definitely broken and I had one crash (from Bluetooth connection). For video I just installed a third party app and Bluetooth never worked in cm11 anyway. I'll keep it for now just to test it but I love this rom.
