Please explain - and link to the Google explanation of how it's supposed to work. As I said before, everybody offers their explanation of how THEY think it works - but noone has linked to how Google say it should work.

The conversation shouldn't really carry on in this dev. thread - but I suppose the dev(s) should check it out to ensure it really is working how it should and offer up a link to Google's page - just to finally stop this conversation .... :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] auiterwaal:
Why in the world should Google provide a full documentation on this?

It's a simple Internet check just as there is on Windows.

Normal behavior is, obviously, have Internet, no mark, don't have Internet, even if you are connected, there it is, the mark.

The "have" or "don't have" Internet is checked by trying to access Google's server and that's it.

If you blocked something with app ops or greenify that is responsible by this check, you can have Internet and still the exclamation mark, just because a system component can't reach Google's server.

For God sake, why should this be so difficult? If just a few ppl have a problem, chances are they are doing something wrong. Just check you grennifies and app ops permissions.

No problems here at all.

I can end it here. It's the same as the pink/orange data indicator on Kitkat. There was also some stuff on Jelly Bean, but there was never a difference in colour for the signal images, but there has always been a "fully connected" difference in signal icons, whether visible or not.

To you who have flashed different modems using this ROM.. do you guys always flash matching BL aswell when flashing a modem or just flash Modem/LTE and leave BL as it is? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dvhttn:
Thanks for jumping in. That article is the most authoritative I've seen - but it still needs additions from the comments to explain things.

Firstly:

.. which is exactly what I've been trying to figure out. So, on Lollipop, the exclamation mark means the same - the phone just can't get to Google services through ports 5228-5230. It does not mean the interweb is down which is what some people have been saying.

Secondly:

... this comment sums up the whole thing for me, confusion. This part of the thread shows that even "power" users are confused (I'm assuming most xda members are power users) and it didn't need to be like this. Just more clarity from Google.

As it is, personally, I'd like to see the back of the exclamation mark as!

Glad that's cleared up then ... :D I know it's a dev. thread but Dan did say nothing would be happening on that front for a few days so, hey, we've got to b!tch about something in the meantime ... :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] markiarom:

I tried flashing NK4 - BL and modem. That worked but I got no signal, so I reinstalled the NK2 BL, but left the NK4 modem. That worked.

So you can mix and match BUT I don't know to what extent.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Galaxen:
Thx!! Seems it might be a LP issue. I tried 2 modems, still the same. Clean install and everything but no difference. But I have to admit I get quite good SOT with WiFi but when at work and use LTE/3G then its not as good, more mediocre but both times cell standby is high and lots of wakelocks.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Mobile standby doesn't actually drain battery, it's cosmetic. If you charge a phone to 100%, turn on airplane mode and leave the phone for several hours, battery loss is minimal, but cell standby/mobile standby will show as super high. I can lose 3-4% overnight and cell standby show as the highest usage... when 3-4% overnight is great. Therefore, you can literally ignore it.

You can disable location services in app ops to Google Play Services without any negative affects.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] runout:
Just adding my wife and I have the same phone on the previous build. I will get about 24 hours use with 4.5 - 5 hours SOT and my wife gets about 4 days with about 1 hour SOT. Her Mobile Standby Drain is a much higher percentage but it does not drain the battery. The only thing tinkering done is Greenify Facebook and location services is off only turned on when needed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Actually I did disabled the location from google services on App Opps but the google dialer stared a location wakelock, I disabled and then it was google contacts that started the wakelock... Google services don't like when you to block them and the drain was actually a little bit less when I didn't disabled anything. I'm sure is not the ROM, it's my phone and/or usage conditions. Right now I have 2:27 SOT and 57% left on Dan's CM KK so I guess I'll stay on that for a few weeks :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
I disable location to Google Play Services and don't experience any wakelocks in those apps. It's a common fix to Google Play Services draining battery. Neither contacts nor Dialler are even in my battery stats.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Both contacts and dialer showed on the battery stats but it was always between 4% and 7%, when google services itself showed it was like 20% or more, screen was more or less the same percentage. If I opened App Ops after turning location off I could see another google app taking the location wake up and I ended disabling locations on 5 different things. Last time I tried was with the last build and didn't touch anything at all just to see the behave of the drain and it was there. I know the ROM is rock solid and that my phone is fine, I guess there's still bugs on LP itself that we are not aware of and that's expected on a new version. I'm not a dev so I'm just guessing here :)

When you say without negative effect, do you also mean that Google Now is not affected or didn't you test it? I already disabled to test by myself but it'll take till tomorrow to check if location cards show up properly when I leave home
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Netuser:
[MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION] That is not true, the Google Map no more work if you disable the location for Google Services. The map will show your last location or Home location. But will never update until you activate the Location for Google services. I am sure if it do this with Map other app maybe affected too, for instance Google now, but I don't use that so cant confirm

OTA updates problem

Hi Danvdh

I have the OTA updates problem too

checking the files i see

/data/data/com.ota.updates/files/update_manifest.xm

If i delete or modified this file, when i reopen the OTA Updates app, the file appear again, and in the content

In the Version section its look "20150112"

If i try to edit this value to 20150112 the problem persists, when i open the App, it modified the file

It's possible that the app was reading bad the version of the device? and for this, dont find any update?

sorry for me english and many thanks for the ROM, i have a new phone due to the rom

Thanks

Is there any option to switch between "vibrate mode" and "silent mode" via the volume buttons? If I am correct that feature is in the stockrom (also CM has that). You could just double "tap" the volume down button and after the vibrate mode, you were at the silent mode.

I am asking that, because even if I turn off ALL vibrate options, my phone still vibrates on incoming messages (and yes, i disabled them in the app). Does anyone have that issue too?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MariuxReloaded:
Exactly: the APK files can't be sent through Bluetooth, since I think it's a Google policy (if you want an APK, download it from the Play Store), then you have to zip them, because it's the only way to send them ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:
It's how lollipop works and not and issue. You have to set the none option when pressing the volume key under the slider to turn vibration off.

you got my thanks ! greatly apreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Thanks for the reply!

Maybe I didn't explained myself clearly but It wasn't a dirty flash (I don't do them at all, don't like them) all those issues happened on a clean install and I did a dirty flash when the phone was already in a boot-loop, before that I tried a cache clean, then reinstalling just the latest KT kernel and since it didn't worked then I tried a dirty flash as last resort just to see if I could get things back up and at least set up the alarm and go to sleep.

I ended up downloading both Jan 09 version but installed the stock one to test ART rather than Install the 08 version plus the patch, also I flashed the dark theme mod and just det the KT settings on kernel and that's it. I really miss the Xposed because of gravity and the experimental features that greenify offers with the framework. ART feels the same but different, phone is faster on some specific actions like handling apps but I could not really tell the difference (maybe because this ROM is so awesome that ART can't improve it more!).

Anyway, can I live without ART? what things will I miss? The level of customization in gravitybox is unmatchable. Any advice on this?

Thanks

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Are you sure your carrier supports fast dormancy? Cause if it doesn't, it's best to leave that OFF.

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

Use this tool. Put in your phone model (I9505, S4 LTE, of course), country and carrier, and you should see what MODEM that carrier has pushed OTA most recently.

Perhaps if your carrier is stubborn like that and they're still stuck on MFx for some reason, it's better to follow their direction and use that modem. Alternatively, maybe they went up to MKF (like my carrier did - although I never expected this from them, since they absolutely suck when it comes to infrastructure and such) and... well... that's what you're gonna have to do, as well - upgrade to MKF.

For those with proximity sensor problems, (including me), this app proves that the sensor goes from 8Cm to 0Cm when covered.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Although I managed to fix my sensor by recalibrating it... it still strikes me. I mean look, a bunch of people suddenly started to have issues with the sensor when they upgraded to KitKat. All was well before :eek:.

My guess is that when you flash KitKat, it alters the proximity sensor values (which are stored in the EFS partition). Combine that with a dusty sensor and... perfect recipe, lol.

Either that, either... well, it's a darn perfectly timed coincidence, lol.

---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------

Install, grant superuser permissions to and run Terminal Emulator. Then, enter these commands:

su
echo 0 > /sys/class/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal
echo 1 > /sys/class/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

What this does is it resets the calibration. Anyway, it did the trick for me! :good:

Even if you had the Samsung test app, you wouldn't be able to do anything with it. All it does is it TESTS stuff, it doesn't calibrate / change anything whatsoever.

System (mediaserver) is draining my battery.

I installed version 12/01 of this rom. Overall this rom is very good :good: There is only thing that is bugging me!

The proces System (mediaserver) is lurking my battery.

Before I installed the ROM I formated all partitions to be sure to start from scratch.

I removed my SDCARD to be sure that this medium can't cause the issue. I have also scanned my partitions for very large directories.

None are found. Searching on the phrase 'mediaserver' in this thread, shows me a couple of posts concerning this problem. No solutions are posted (well I can't find them).

[IMG="Example"]http://i1144.photobucket.com/albums/o499/lblom67/2015-01-15095757_zps475314c3.png[/IMG]

I really have no clue what is causing this issue but I know the battery life must be super when this problem is solved.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction or maybe confirm that this is a bug.

No, it's entirely true. I've tested this myself on a clean install without ever having opened Maps. Maps updates your location just fine.

Google Maps has it's own location permissions and has no reason to share Google Play Services location permissions.

Maps is more accurate with GPS location reporting on, but it works without.
