I'm losing network every 12th seconds.

I tried to use the swedish speedtest called Bredbandskollen. It goes up tp 40Mbit/s then "Connection lost to the server".

I did the Bredbandskollen because webpages stops loading on a regular basis and thanks to this I can see why. My network indicator is stable yet I loose network pretty much constantly, with this rom.

Any suggestions?

This is on LTE - unlimited dataplan.

If you haven't already flash latest modem for your carrier:

Hi.

My phone is not in any way bound to my carrier, my carrier is TeliaSonera - and they are also my employer - an not one of my colleagues at Mobility Services has any idea what modem to use - since the Modem is entierly in Samsungs hands. Im using the I9505XXUFNB9 and this particular modem has worked fine for a few months.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mooyaart:
You could alternatively try the latest modem (including LTE) + bootloader, look here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50965837&postcount=2627

Also check your apn settings are correct

//never mind :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Swedish Meat:
I'm in the same situation as you are. I'm on Telia Sonera's LTE. Most of the time it's fine. But when I'm home the signal is poor no matter what band I'm using. It's allways been like this. But sometimes when the signal is completely lost I have to reboot my phone. I flashed the latest modem and bootloader with no difference. I'm currently on I9505XXUGNI2. With the previous version of this ROM (mid june I think) I didn't have this problem. I only flashed this ROM, not modem and bootloader.

I'm looking forward to Android Lollipop but without Xposed + GravityBox it will be too hard for me live with pure Android.

Hope Xposed will be compatible with ART soon.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Xposed is terrible anyway :) Just hope that some nice, talented, developers will put mods in that don't use Xposed... a hacky framework adding processing time to your phone that it needn't do.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bartik168:
Agree, but for now Xposed is only way to change some (important and "must have") options:(

Is there a way to get Facebook to sync with my contacts so then I can link them and have profile pictures for my contacts?

Love this rom nearly had it a day with no reboots :D

Battery life for me does not seem that great but I was doing a lot of downloading yesterday so maybe was not a fair test.

Thanks

Anyone having reboots....can you please try flashing Fauxs GE kernel again and wipe cache and dalvik before reboot to see if they stop.

Seems to have worked for 2 of the other kk users I asked to try.... Also try uninstalling any ad blockers ie Adaway. And let us know how it goes.

Worked for a build I had reboots on and is now RR free.

So I don't think its modem or frequency related - uneducated opinion gained by my messing around in search of a cure :laugh:

(I also changed to official clockworkmod recovery)

(Suggest uninstalling G+ for those with heat issues and battery drain - clear the data first and uninstall/disable)

I'd like to thank Danvdh for this terrific 4.4 Rom... It's amazing, basic things like the camera seem to be working fine, dropbox syncing, wifi, power amp seeing all music on ext SD fine... No crashes as yet and seems pretty fast!!! ....

Funnily enough as I was typing this the phone restarted for the first time lol... Other than that... Amazing. Boots in mere seconds.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Provided we both have the same ROM, the timeout settings for the display should be the same. So, we got 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes.

Oh and go to Settings - Security - Screen lock and choose "None". That way, when you wake the phone, the lockscreen will no longer be there. If that's what you were asking initially...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kadett-k2:
I want lockscreen.Just dont want it lock if I'm playing games.It worked on my SIII

can you bring the stock launcher apk. please?

i like the google stock 4.4.2 launcher more than the others

thanx
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Ozonep:
Why? You can always download & install it (from DOWNLOADS section), if you want. I personally prefer Nova. It has lots of options and blazing fast. For me, GEL is just another Google bloat, like Play Books, Movies, Magazines...

Hai Dan, can you add module for ContactsProvider.apk for supporting Facebook contact sync and calendar sync by default. Thanks before.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Did you even read the first post (OP) of this topic? What if there is some information mentioning that you need to flash a specific file right after flashing the ROM, otherwise the phone will go boom in 24 hours...? :)

Regardless... here is you darn launcher. Which can easily be found by going to the first page of this topic, pressing CTRL+F, typing "launcher" and going through the ~7 results. :rolleyes:

Is anyone seeing any issues with apps that use push notifications such as Whatsapp?

I dont seem to be getting messages pushed through via Whatsapp until I open up Whatsapp, I have checked that in data usage and "Auto Sync Data" is enabled and "Restrict Background Data" is unticked. Which looks correct to me.

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Yep, you're not the only one. Same happens over here.

But I'm not exactly sure if this is ROM specific. I've been using SlimBean until I jumped ship over to this GE ROM, and WhatsApp behaved more or less the same... :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Prodigalza:
I experienced this until I modified and applied the governer settings in KTweaker. I set mine up as per post#2.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] devvi:
This is my first KitKat Installation (since this has no big issues like reboots etc. anymore...)

So far everything went very smooth (i had an old Version of Philz Touch recovery installed which crashed the installation process and caused boot loop. I looked up on the OP and there was no information given that you have to have a "KitKat" ready recovery. However I figured it out and installed the newest one and installation went fine.

But no i figured out a (maybe) bug. When you call somebody (by will or by accident) my display turns off, and i have no possibility to switch my screen back on (no touch, no power button, no home button). The ONLY chance for me to get rid of this, is by telling the person you have called (by accident) to hang up.

Proximity issue? Or have any other person experienced this?

Regards /Dev

Agreed
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] devvi:
Okey, i used the settings provided in the 2. Post.

Now i can wake my phone while telephoning via home button. But what I saw is that the dialer quickly disappears and this causes the Display to go on again. When i pull down the notification bar again and go into the dialing process, the screen goes back off and i can only make anything my "quitting" the dialer via home button.

Maybe the dialer is kind of buggy or has an issue with the proximity sensor, that it thinks its always near to something and therefore doenst lid up the screen.

/Dev
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
No... it does not go away. Also, the problem is there with the default KTweaker settings. This problem never occured on SlimBean, with KT kernel and heavily modified settings (including underclock and undervolt).

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

I don't think it's the dialer that's problematic. Even if I "minimize" the call (go to home screen while in call) and put the phone to my ear then take it away, the same behavior is still happening. So... I don't think it's only within the dialer.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] devvi:
So, get get the thing right. Some people just dont have have the possibility to use there phone while phoning/dialing? How can i switch to loudspeaker, use mic--mute, dialpad etc then? :(

Ah, was so happy that everything works so fine, but this is bad :/ [MENTION=4129455]Formhault[/MENTION]: do you just live with it? :)

Last time, when KitKat update where rolling out - Samsung update was rolled LATER than HTC. I do mean GPE devices.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MariuxReloaded:
I hope it so, because Samsung treats the S4 GPE as a stepchild -_-"
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mystique:
Sorry to bother,

Is it Samsung who would update our devices; literal i9505G, or Google?

Did HTC update their GPE devices?

Thinking out loud, if nexus devices for updates and we did not.. Isn't that the answer already?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] maurocds:
sadly samsucks

so they can stop updating when they want just because they want (just look at s3 and s3 mini lol)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ed_bracam:
I have LG G watch R and I have also random vibrations (sometime 1 sometimes 2 vibrations). I have also vibration when an application crashes. It looks like an application crash but which one?

I didn't had problem with Touchwiz Omega and CM11 M12, only on this rom (all with the G Watch R)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr. 69:
The vibrations are back here. They were gone after I removed the playstore update. Google automatically updates its apps even when disabling automatic updates. I have Xposed too. Previous messages are blaming xposed for the vibrations. Hate to remove xposed bc I love those extra features.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RoBy46:
We need the gapps??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -sandro-:
No they're included in the ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] egendomligt:
Is there any way to disable the vibrations that seem to be related to FCs? I use a scheduled backup job in Ti Backup which makes the phone vibrate like crazy in alternating patterns for almost a full minute! Waking me up at 5 am in the process :(

I guess I could pull a log if you guys wanted but that doesn't seem to have helped so far..?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kees1982:
I don't think those vibrations are a FC. TitaniumBackup uses it for notifications. In TI settings these can be disabled.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ed_bracam:
I think this rom is not less stable than the other one, it's just when a background app crashes, the phone vibrates that not happens with the other rom that I used (that background app can crash in silence...)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dontpannic:
There's some sort of compatibility issue within the ROM I think. I tested my same setup with Dandroid13's untouched GPE ROM - removed the KT kernel and tweaker apps and put the stock GPE kernel in there, installed the same apps from the play store and so far, over 150 hours of uptime with no random vibrations...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sydknee:
No vibrations here on Dan's gpe and googymax
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Edgio60:
Do you have Xposed/GravityBox installed?

Vibrations are very frequent for me on GoogyMax with those installed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sydknee:
No, coz I use ART
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ricardofago:
Hey guys, I've been following this discussion about random vibrations for a while. I use customized version + GoogyMax + Xposed + GravityBox + updated Play Store and have just one vibration after booting, then it doesn't happen anymore. The only unusual thing in my setup is that I installed PA Google Apps nano. Has anyone tried it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mooyaart:
Yep, I used the pico version. Same setup except I use alucard kernel. Also vibrates once on boot and nothing after that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Madlisboa:
Like you,i have only 1 vibration when i start the phone after charge him turned off,after that until the battery have life,no more vibration.

Hey dan, Is it possible to bring CM theme engine to a GPE rom? I only wish this rom had some flat themes. I've been giving a few CM roms a try because some CM themes are beautiful! but I keep coming back to this rom because it seems to be the most complete feature rich rom out there. Veu themes pack, Persian Red, wow! Maybe through Xposed?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 0nyx:
Yes, there 's an xposed module called HKTheme Manager.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MohamedN:
We discussed this before and dan stated that it can't be implemented because it's not an open source, so the answer will always be no..

About hktheme manager it hasn't been updated for ages so all the themes for new theme engine won't work..

Apologies for the slightly off topic question, but when flashing TWRP 2.8.1.0 do I download the i9505 one for i9505G one? The phone Im using is i9505, but after downloading this ROM its essentially i9505G, is it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mooyaart:
No it's still the 9505 not the 9505G. The two phones have different hardware so you need to flash the 9505 twrp. This rom has a modified build.prop to make it look like the 9505g but it's not!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gazjlfc:
I just did a clean install and tried for a few days with no vibration. Just installed xposed and it has started again

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mobilequest:
Yes and they don't even bother to give us a date or at least a month so we can know. There are only shi#ty videos about S4 Touchwiz Lollipop leaks.

Exactly, external SD card is the only thing I'll miss, because I use it as a music storage, but this won't stop me to move to Nexus. Samsung must be avoided and I really hope Tizen will be successful, because, in this way, Samsung will stop distorting Android with its "Lagwiz" -_-"

I got a national roaming problem.

Land : Netherlands

Provider is Telfort but has no antenna's so always connecting with KPN but the R is constant in sight and i have to put on roaming to get data.

I am traveling a lot so the roaming option is not handy for me.

I have this with a lot of custom roms but i dont know a good solution i tried a lot of options some of them are are on XDA but nothing is working.

This is a nice clean rom i like it till now but some day the roaming will cost me a lot of money.

Do you got a solution?

my next phone will most likely be a Sony though! they get decently timed updates with actual SOURCES released just like nexus devices and they're very good looking phones. their upcoming Z4 might be the first phone (that I'm aware) that has 4GB of ram and that's pretty awesome. plus their always water/dust resistant.
