It's been about a week since I last tried CM11 so I figured it's time.

Clean flashed 4/12 as usual and I must say, so far everything is great. I tried everything that was borked a week ago and there are zero issues and have not had one FC. I even tried ART and it booted right up without a single issue. I think I'm gonna put this one through it's paces. I knew things would get straightened out over a few days.

Good work. CM has taken quite a few steps forward over the last few days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
I flashed today's and its solid no fc at all and I didn't revert art before I did it, its just fine CyanogenMod kicking butt and taking names.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
That's a good step forward. It seems now that stability is back into the nightlies so users can start picking things apart again and work on finding the bugs and maybe get some more new features introduced.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
Google Now lockup bug still there...

Well on 4/12, the bug where the system UI locks up completely is still there. Started typing into the google now search box and 3 characters in *poof* UI freeze. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] isaacfinnegan:
I can also confirm that 4/13 is working fine with ART. (and KT kernel and latest pa gapps loaded)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RedBullet:
What's the benefit of using ART?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
Haha...as of last builds its working...but most of the time you get the benefits include posting about major force close issues and super buggy apps...its supposedly the next big thing but it doesn't seem to stay stable for more than a week at this point
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
The supposed benefit is better battery life and a snappier phone with apps loading quicker... But I personally saw much worse battery life and about the same amount of app load times. There's a few people reporting that they're getting the intended benefits though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I've been using ART since it became available. I can say that I see better battery life and snappier response all around on my GS4. The biggest issue you may see will be FC's with some third party app. This is mainly because some apps haven't updated their code to work with ART.

As for battery life I usually see 16-18 hours or more with moderate usage.

Just flashed the 2/14 build. On reboot instead of going to recovery and applying the update it just hung there. After a battery pull and restart it then booted into recovery and all went normally afterwards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] papstar:
Anyone getting fcs in Apollo and contacts after the 4/13 build? I'm assuming it has to do with the new theme engine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Contacts are fine here. I've only used Apollo once but it has behaved properly so far, too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] papstar:
4/14 build seems to have fixed it. Thanks for responding though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
YW. My last build was 4/12, I skipped 4/13.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RedBullet:
crap, switched to ART and now phone doesn't boot (crashes repeatedly in com.android.incallui).

What can I do at this point? Just reflash current ROM?

you can change it via adb. boot to recovery then us adb:

does Good For Enterprise work on this? my company doesnt care if root or not....well that's what im assuming since ive had good on multiple different roms. this time i restored Good and it says its connected but its not syncing. I think I remember Good showing up under accounts too on my other roms and I dont see it there. Just want to see if anyone can confirm that it works before i uninstall and ask IT for another pin.

thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
I think re-creating a new PIN is the BKM. I don't use it anymore, but when I did I would have to do that when switching ROMs sometimes or if I hadn't opened good in a while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djcyph:
i went ahead and just deleted good and installed from market instead of restoring from titanium. my old pin worked, find out it doesnt expire just need a new one if new device. everything working now...

does USB dock audio out work on this? if it does this will be daily driver...so fast and smooth!

No LTE

I have been running CM on my phone for quite some time now but overnight last night my LTE stopped working. I woke up to a 3G connection and no matter what I do it will not pick up an LTE signal.

What I have done:

Mobile Network Settings --> Preferred network type --> CDMA + LTE/EVDO (tried them all)

Mobile Network Settings --> APNs --> VZWINTERNET - LTE (will not stick, wants to switch to eHRPD. Have tried every APN)

APN Backup Restore with the verizon xml file (no help)

I have had to get my SIM card replaced twice now for this phone because of this issue while on CM so I imagine it is that again. I'd rather not have to go this route again but will if it'll fix it. Why would this keep happening though?

If I take my rooted S4 into Verizon to get a new SIM card will they give me one? I am worried about them seeing my device is rooted. What should I do to just get them to give me a new SIM that I can activate on my own?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
Did you do *228? I had the same issue as you and I ended up having a sprint PRL. They had to manually push a PRL update to my phone to fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mitch8892:
I actually did. Can't remember if I did it before or after this started happening though. What should I do to have then manually push the PRL? I only have access to this phone so calling from a different device isn't possible. Maybe Verizon chat?

I'd like to avoid them seeing my rooted device if possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
Just call and get tech support. Tell them you did *228 and now have a bad PRL and ask them to push through the correct one. They'll have you power down completely and restart the device. As long as you're in a 4G area it should grab the new one.

If you're not on 15287, it's the wrong one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mitch8892:
Just finished chatting with tech support. LTE is working again after the PRL update was pushed. Huge thanks to you.

My PRL version is different than yours, however. Mine reads 53435.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
Glad it worked for you! I guess it doesn't matter if it's different as long as it's working.

Now getting random reboots when updating apps from the play store. Anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
So why is the WiFi still crap? I've been staying on LTE 100% of the time since at home I can get 2x the speed on LTE than WiFi, despite having 50 Mbps cable. I get 17-18 Mbps (either with 2.4 or 5 GHz 802.11n) tops, whereas I can pull 30-40 on LTE here. Why is the wifi so slow??

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
I believe in the WiFi menu there is a setting that is on by default like save battery while WiFi connected...may help to turn it off
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
ugh well, I thought it was working but I just turned WiFi back on after a bit and I can't break 20 Mbps. :/ wtf.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dasx86:
Whoah - while I'd always wondered why my WiFi was so terrible compared to LTE on this phone, I never bothered look into it, since I have unlimited data. This did it though! So fast!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackburnt:
Just tried that with no luck. It keeps switching AP to "EHRPD" and not "LTE."

EDIT: Weird. Just switched to LTE on its own. I have a weak signal and Keith on Live Chat said that could be it. Quite a helpful fella.

Anyway, it works again! And my 3G/LTE toggle finally works too! Though, very slow to 3G. Very fast to LTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
any one know what the experimental version is all about. just released 4/22/14, with a nightly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Slacker101:
So since they have gone to a unified build headphones with mics or stop/start buttons longer work for me. Anyone else experience this or know of a fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
I guess not, I've been hoping someone would be able to answer. I was hoping it means we might have a RC build soon, but that's purely a guess.

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

Looks like the experimental build is similar to the M builds but not an official one... Although I'm having a lot of difficulty figuring out if that's 100% accurate.

Has anyone tried the NC5 MDM and HLOS from the official VZW kk build? I'm using MDK for both right now, but mostly wondering if NC5 will help with the slow WiFi speeds since doesn't HLOS somehow affect WiFi? I know I've seen where it causes WiFi not to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
I wouldn't use the HLOS until CM updates their base but I just upgraded to the modem and it seems to be having a better signal. I think CM is on the MK2 base.

Something I've noticed with the last few builds (on 4/25 now). After flashing I have to mess with APN's for a few moments. I'll have data issues until I get one set. There's LTE where I live and I have to set it to that APN a couple times before it sticks with each new flash. Until then I have no mobile data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Noticed something else today. I use TiBu so USB debugging needs to be enabled. After each flash I have to enable it again. Seems that some systems settings are not surviving the flashing process anymore.

Ditto, no issues here. In fact, it felt slightly snappier than the 4/22 build for me. But that could just have been due to not having rebooted the 4/22 build I had since I flashed it :D

WiFi very slow

I searched and have seen that a few other users are having the same issue as I am. My WiFi speeds are incredibly slow. Running a speed test from my computer I am getting 28mbps down and roughly 6mbps up. On my phone, however, in the same location I am only getting 3mbps down and 2mbps up on the same server.

I have Wifi optimization on battery unchecked and disabled so I know it is not that. I have tried speed tests from my phone right beside the rouer and have the same results. Anything I should try?

The current build I am running came from a complete data wipe. Currently on the latest Ktoonz kernel but the issue is also present using stock kernel.

Until CM updates the code you can use the mk2+nonhlos or any radio only package. Once CM updates with the latest 4.4 then we can use up to the nc5+nonhlos package safely.

I just acquired a Verizon Galaxy S4 (one of my users cracked his screen, so I snagged it).

It has i545vruemk2 on it. I successfully rooted it using saferoot, but I can't get loki to patch a recovery image so I can install CM, and none that I have downloaded work either.

Is it not possible to get CM on an MK2 phone? It won't let me Odin back to MDK. I hope I'm not stuck.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] croldan72:
I'm currently running CM11 using the 4/28 nightly. I have been experiencing a lot of freezing and random reboots. I have having this for quite some time using various nightlies, for at least a few weeks. I have attempted dirty and clean flashes a number of times, but the issues persist. I have also attempted to uninstall apps, and reinstall, all to no avail. I can't seem to pinpoint, what is the cause of the reboots.

I started to use Cooltool to try to monitor what could be the cause of the freezes. About the only thing that I noticed what process is active on cooltool when the freezes occur is "system_server". I also notice that the processor seems to be at the lower end of the scale at the time of freezes, at 384. Ram seems to be ok with 200 to 800 MB free and 2 - 3 GB of storage available.

Can anyone help try to pinpoint this for me? At this point I'm willing to anything, including getting a different KK ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:

NC5 radio worth it!!!

I updated my vzwS4 to the NC5 radio. I have tried 3 roms now and I have seen improvement in wifi and 3g/LTE. The boost want not substantial but it was noticable when any app used either data source.

The NC5 radio is great. I would say it should be the standard for those that can update their radios...

I used the radio only zip.

I didn't think so either. I was responding to the other post about NC5 helping wifi.

I guess the cm11 wifi driver doesn't like my router at home. :/

Not to mention I'm like 10 feet from the router and have 1 MAYBE 2 bars. Don't see how that's possible.

AHA! figured it out. I have an airport extreme downstairs and upstairs I have an airport express extending that network. It looks like it's preferring the one upstairs even if I'm 10 feet from the downstairs one. My friend was complaining about the same issue on the Nexus 5 with stock kitkat.

Anyone have suggestions for how to have it connect to the stronger signal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Getting great battery life on the latest builds. Not sure if its because of the NC5 modem or not....could be though lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I believe there is a setting in the advanced WIFI settings to have it connect to a "preferred" network first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
I don't see anything like that. I see a list of preferred networks which I can change the order of, but that doesn't help me since the WAP's SSID is the same since it's an extended network.

It seems kind of brain dead to pick the FURTHER one away. I'm guessing it sees that one first and latches onto it for some reason, even though the one closer to me is 10 feet away vs. 30 feet through a wall...but it just seems like if it sees two WAPs with the same SSID, it should pick the one that's got a higher signal strength, which is not the case here.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
You are correct... M builds are about a week behind the nightlies so that everything in the build has been confirmed nearly stable...No experimental commits or new untested features...more for those who aren't keen on flashing any random build...also just a marker to show we are a step closer to a stable build...hopefully cm11 stable will be exactly that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mitch8892:
So even though the M build was dated after the latest nightly, it does not contain the commits in the latest nightly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
It contains everything, as far as I can tell. Normally the "M" builds contain everything up to the latest nightly. "M" builds are not "Stable" or "RC" builds, they are a "snapshot" of the current status of the builds.
