[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Yeah. I ordered a set of safe pry tools for that exact reason. Well that and my other ones finally broke. Amazon has set of ten for like 3 bucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
link please

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
How long for them all to break?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Oh hell. I had the last pack for every. Did probably 50-75 PC and phone jobs with em.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
I can confirm. There is a black haze over the opening for the prod sensor. Same with the light sensor. Cleaned them all. Works much better. Alcohol on a qtip works awesome. Just have to rub it until it comes off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jfu:
Can of air trick didn't work so I had to open the phone up. Didn't have pry tools so I just used my fingernails. Surprisingly it worked!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
So essentially. The touchwiz prox/light sensors are set to a very high sensitivity. CM must not have them as sensitive. Never hurts to crack open the device. If nothing else get a good idea how it works and good cleaning lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
My prox was fine I did blast air just to be sure but for me I changed the settings about screen off CPU and GPU settings to 700 CPU and 200 GPU now my phone screen comes on correctly when someone calls at least when I tested. And the 7th nightly has been running amazing for me I installed the watch on app linked a few pages back now I can use the ir thank you for this amazing ROM keep up the good work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
7th nightly has been running amazing for me too :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vanberge:
What launcher do you use? I dirty flashed 7th nightly coming from clean 1/30 and trebuchet acts wierd/lacks settings. Just went to nova for now which is fine, but I'm curious how yours is acting. Maybe i should clean flash it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
They just started reintroducing trebuchet back into CM so I imagine that is why you're having some issues. Probably a few more bugs to iron out. On a side note, the best launcher IMO is TSF Shell but its downright expensive!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
I personally like a more Google feel. GEL or now known as the Google Now Launcher is what I like. Doesn't have alot of options but does everything I could want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Google Experience Launcher (I use PA stock full gapps... it deletes all the custom apps like trebuchet and AOSP browser) and in my opinion it is the best launcher. I love the large apps in the drawer and Nova hasnt done much to replicate the stock google feel.

I also use chronic kernel so my phone rarely lags
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vt0r:
Have to agree. I've grown very accustomed to the GEL since using CM11, so Trebuchet will have to be pretty amazing to even begin to convince me to leave this smoothness behind.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Looks like we may be getting some camera tweaks. Not sure what they will entail. If its in the editor or camera. But still should be cool.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/59174/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] edif30:
Editor - Saturation, contrast, and sharpness parameters according to the description.

Personally I don't know why these would be changed. The parameters currently used are spot on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
None of our s4s are being used to 100 percent of their potential... Just like our CPU and GPU can be over clocked these tweaks may just be to get a little more juice out of our camera
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
If they're going to tweak stuff they should tweak the HDR. Maybe that's down the road.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
HDR is a sweet feature...but its at the bottom of CMs list...I personally could care less if it ever works as long as when the final release for cm11 is out it is more complete and fully functional than 10.2 was...it was a little too rushed and still had some buggy operations that kinda made me feel like it wasn't quite as far along as they felt it was...just my opinion though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
I'm pretty much the same way. Truthfully I think they should just pull the option completely. No body really uses it and its just one thing off their list. That's just me. If they got it working right then yeah keep it but really its not needed. The stick camera does pretty good at pics as is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
The camera tweak looks more like making things uniform throughout. The commit notes mention things being listed one way in one place and a different order elsewhere. Based on what I read it looks like a settings cleanup/tweak for the camera itself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gt5oh:
If you want HDR option download Camera360..there new version 5.0 is amazing. Great photo features
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
I don't use it personally. I'm just one of those OCD people who like if a feature or option is there for it to work. Snap Camera HDR is also a bad ass camera. I thought the developer of Focal was going to do some killer stuff with it when I got put on the market but that didn't last.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] suoirotoN:
Is there anything wrong with today's nightly(2/09) or should i be good to go and flash it? I know last week there were a number of problem with some of the nightly's so I'm still on 1/31
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vt0r:
I haven't had serious issues with any nightly since Feb 4th (including the 9th, which I'm running now), so just do the usual nandroid backup you should be doing between updates anyway, then flash away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] suoirotoN:
Okay great, and thanks for the quick response. Going to backup and flash now!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
Yep, no issues I've noticed yet. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I only know of the following issues.

Orientation sensor is borked. Most likely a Samsung issue IIRC.

Mic does not work with video chat (headset works fine).

HDR is not working properly.

There may be others, too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
Orientation server works fine here? Specifically what doesn't work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
I thought they fixed the mic issue. I may be wrong but I thought I saw something a while back where hangouts was fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Apps that use the magnetic sensor work fine. Apps that rely on the orientation sensor, such as GPS Status and Toolbox, do not.

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

Hangouts may be, but I saw a post just a page or two ago saying it was not working with Skype.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Ah. I see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] linuxthinker:
Does CM11 with the MK2 radio/nonhlos work with the Verizon Network Extender? My phone just says "Out of Neighborhood" for the network name, a roaming indicator, and no data connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
oh I see. Guess I don't use anything that relies on that.

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

I'm still on MJ7 for both and haven't had any issues, but I don't have a network extender to check.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] linuxthinker:
:) Works fine on the regular network but it's not really functioning on the Network Extender.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
When I had my Verizon s4 I was on the MK2 full modem package and never had any issues with it. Though I didn't have the extender.

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

Have you tried resetting the network extender.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
Oh ok. Is there any reason to move from MJ7 to MK2 radios?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] linuxthinker:
Yup. I have a second Verizon phone on stock firmware working fine with the extender.

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

Shrug. I went from MDK nonhlos+MJ7 modem to MK2 nonhlos/modem when I flashed from stock to cm11. I was having more trouble with the MDK nonhlos than with the MK2 nonhlos.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
I guess I'll stick with my "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality then for radios. MJ7 seems to work great, so unless MK2 has something to offer in the way of better coverage (only seen that a couple of times) or fixes (haven't noticed any issues here though), then I'll stick with MJ7 I guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] linuxthinker:
Which non-hlos are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
iirc MJ7 on both MDM and APN-HLOS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] linuxthinker:
Thanks; I'll give that combo a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nwwolf1:
I read a lot of people are having issues with recent nughtlies since about 2/2. Anyone having issues? I just don't want to flash the update and have to go back to my backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
That only lasted for a couple days. The nightlies have been good since 2/5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MustGoFast:
V5.0? The newest I saw in the store was 4.8.6, am I missing something?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vStudio.Android.Camera360&hl=en
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] linuxthinker:
Nope, still no good. 3G via Network Extender and no attempt to connect to available LTE signal :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Seeing some kernel commits for tonight build. Maybe some fixes for stuff. Nothing specific in the comments.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gt5oh:
Its in alpha stages right now I got a pop up in my 4.8.6 to download it... try google it you might find the .apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rick_reeves:
Just wondered if there is some idea as to how long CM11 will be actively dev'd? And, how far they plan to take any additions/mofications? Just curious
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
From my understanding, it's until the next major release comes out. I believe KK kind of came on the heels of it's predecessor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Cm has been around for years and will continue to be. They are now an actual company with the release of the Oppo N1 which comes with the choice to have CM installed before shipping. So in other words. They're not going anywhere LOL.

---------- Post added at 07:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

That's the broken down version. There is a lot more to it then that but that's the basics of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
I don't think this is what was being asked, I interpreted it as asking about version 11 in particular.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Oh haha. My mistake.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Schoat333:
CM follows android releases. I expect they will continue to dev CM11 until the next Android version comes out, and they start CM12. Just note, that means named version, not the number. (ex. JB was 4.1-4.3)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] igacek:
Small observation: I searched the thread for quite a while but couldn't find anything on this...

I've had the issue where my camera will give the message "Camera has stopped" and I was unable to use the camera. Couldn't find a reason why, as it was working fine yesterday. However, I found out that the stock camera in Cyanogenmod will give the message "Camera has stopped" when trying to focus if developer options are enabled. I turned off developer options, and the camera started working right away. Interesting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] edif30:
allcast

Anyone using Allcast on a recent nightly? No matter what I do, it cannot see my players (e.g. chromecast). Just curious if anyone else is seeing this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zmnypit:
I used it this morning on the most recent nightly. Make sure your Chromecast is on the most up to date version as well as having the required location services installed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asianrage:
I'm getting a weird issue with my power button. When I press it to turn off the screen, it doesn't. When I press and hold, it then gives me the expected Advanced Power Menu. I'm very confused by this. I was on the 2-9 nightlies and then just switched to the new M3 snapshot when this problem occurred. Anyone know how I can fix this?

EDIT: Looks like something is not letting the device go to sleep . I tried to use the "Sleep" QS tile and it's not letting me turn off the screen either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
if i flash the CM11 m3 with PA gapps, what exactly does it block???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
PA gapps deletes AOSP Browser (The Blue Circle Browser), deletes Messages app (Hangouts is default for SMS) and removes stock Launcher (Replaces it with Google Exp. launcher with Google now on the default left page).

^^ That'll only happen if you use the stock full PA gapps though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
Use Full Modular and it shouldn't delete/block anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Decisions, decisions........

Flash the nightly or the snapshot, nightly or snapshot.

Solution? Why break traditions? The nightly it is!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] radpp16:
Waiting for M4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Milestone 4? Lol that's in March
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
But the nightlies have been oh so buttery smooth..........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] radpp16:
Is your youtube working flawless? Videos with ads and without? Had loading problems. On HD RLS14.

What gapps version you running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I have not had many of the issues that have been reported. All my Gapps (including YouTube) work as they should. I first flashed CM11 around 12/15 and flashed the PA-modular-mini Gapps at the same time. Since I use ART instead of davlik I have the appropriate Gapps package (there's one for ART and one for Davlik). All my nightlies have been dirty flashed since and I make a nandroid once a week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
thats cool with me, i use chrome browser, sms i use handcent, i only use the google launcher. i thought that Launcher 3 wasn't complete yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
I've been running CM for a long time and really I haven't had a single issue that has prevented me from using my phone the way I want. Most of the issues I see are caused by either running ART or third party apps. That's not saying there isn't issues in CM cause they are. Just not enough to hold back the core and additional function of the device. IMHO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
Is there anyway to fix the proximity sensor issue without breaking apart the phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Considering how the problem may be caused by and definitely is aggravated by dust I would imagine the answer is no.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
Although if the devs found a way to either match stock sensitivity or just plain out allow us to change the sensitivity setting, I think that would certainly help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asianrage:
Loading problem could just be a Google thing. 1 out of 5 videos I view has some loading thing on it. It happen more than before, but it's not a ROM/GAPP thing. Try to play around with different TCP Congestion control and you might get lucky?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blulite:
All in it takes 10 minutes (10 screws and your finger nail to disassemble, then a q-tip and alcohol to clean). Maybe 20 minutes if it is your first time. Give it a shot, it's really good to have it working like new again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Anyone having issues with SMS on latest build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blulite:
Working fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Got SMS working. PRL update fixed it. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] isaacfinnegan:
I gave found my issue is software. Using a sensor app, I can verify the sensor is responding quickly and accurately. But when i pull away while on a call it takes a while for the screen to come on, of it does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] edif30:
Required location services? Also it doesn't see any device. Samsung TV. 360... Nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
I don't have issues with mine, so I'm not going to take my phone apart. I was just bringing that up based on the posts I've been reading.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MustGoFast:
It looks like a TON of fixes to little things in the next nightly. Looking forward to the binary going live.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hamburgerman:
Camera has stopped working

I searched the thread but there hasn't really been an answer that solved this. Camera unfortunately has stopped working error. I have the proper gapps,clean install etc. Reboots, cache clears, and disable dev options does nothing. This is a deal breaker for me I will be going back to 4.3 until this works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
You haven't tried installing photosphere camera have you? Which gapps are you using. Have you tried clearing camera data under settings:apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hamburgerman:
Clear camera data doesn't work.

Gapps http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
I used to have that issue a while back. Most of the time it started when trying to access the camera too soon after boot. Haven't had any issues with it in a long while. Are you using ART?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hamburgerman:
I don't think I'm using ART since I don't know what it is. Also the access was after 1 day uptime lol. I do use folder mount to symlink my internal card to my external.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Try undoing that and reboot. May not have anything to do with it but couldn't hurt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Try some PA gaps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] saul1991:
Can I flash any pa gapps? Or does it have to be the very first one in the list?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Any flavor is ok (full, modular, modular-mini). Just make sure that the one you choose was made for Kit Kat (Android 4.4).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sdsurferbob:
I was having issues being able to use the in call dialer in the early Dec builds, to the point where I couldn't enter my VM pass code, select phone tree options, etc. I updated to the 12/25 and the issue went away. I've updated a couple more times since with no problems, but updated to the 2/12 build last night and it seems to be back. I should add that I also changed my VM settings in the Phone settings to include my pass code being entered automatically, then noticed the issue was back, so I'm not sure if it's something I did or something with the build. But it almost renders the phone part half usable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thesoldier:
A simple reboot fixed it for me. Haven't seen it since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] saul1991:
Thanks. I'm going to give the minimal one a try
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] linuxthinker:
Compass/magnetometer still broken in February snapshot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] junkimchi:
looks like the notification light is pulsing like crazy fast on my phone. Anyone else having this issue? Looks like changing it in the display and lights settings doesn't change it either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Magnometer works. Smart compass works. Other compass apps dont.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] linuxthinker:
Ah okay. I'm using "GPS Status" app and it wasn't showing any headings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
It's a firmware thing. Sammy has to release drivers for the orientation sensor, IIRC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hamburgerman:
Nope reboot doesn't do anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Yupp. That's exactly right. They don't have the proper code. But Sammy did release 4.4 source for the sprint s4 so hopefully that will help. I've been noticing alot of kernel side changes since then so hopefully they get what they need.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
Is that why portrait pictures are often viewed as landscape when transferring photos to other devices?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MustGoFast:
I've noticed this as well, but it seems intermittent. I saw reports in here going back at least a month, but nothing about resolution. Anyone know more?

---------- Post added at 06:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------

I've also noticed some issues where Bluetooth won't stay connected in my car during a call. It will drop and reconnect here and there. I saw this on CM10.2 as well but not on stock. Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alove_xda:
I had this when I first moved to CM KK. My fix was to rename the DCIM directory on the sdcard and let the camera app recreate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hamburgerman:
I will try this. It's a weird bug PA/CM gapps work for a short time then all I get is this error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rpitera:
I've had this happen on occasion, usually a few minutes after it connected for the first time in a session but a reboot always fixes it and it doesn't happen again after that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MustGoFast:
I'm seeing the same thing, and a reboot fixes it for a while then it will recur again maybe the next day. I havne't been able to isolate how to repeat it, but other than rebooting my phone before I connect to my car I don't know how to prevent it as it seems to have something to do with an internal memory state.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djj624:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Maybe it has the fix for google services in it.

On a side note, been on the 12/8 nightly for over 24hrs now. Switched to ART yesteday and things seem to be really smooh today. 11 hours off the charge and after a normal day of use battery is at 59%. Not too shabby. :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
Are there any bugs to speak of I know that some 4.4 ROMs have green lines in FFC anything like that or other strange stuff?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Right now there is green lines in FFC. They will eventually bring over the fix they had for 10.2 into 11. As for everything else its pretty solid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
OK then what are the updates from 4.4 to 4.4.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metallice:
Yep. Art will significantly improve app cold start times as well as floating point calculations in testing. Everything else is slightly slower than dalvik (~ 2%). As a result apps will pretty much always open faster but may or may not be faster in use. As for the 2% slower for everything else? Can't be certain why. Some say its due to debugging left in ART.
