Well I flashed nc5 modem, fastest data speeds I've ever had, data connection just stopped... So flashed nc2, nothing from the start, flashed mk2, data connection back! But then dropped again, tried mj7, and nothing and the other modems posted and still nothing. How can I get my data back?!

Does toggling airplane mode help?

You may only have three options, restore a working backup, reflash the last known working build, or go back to stock and then return to CM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] moparfreak426:
I tried toggling, I tried reflashing, dried dirty flashing rom, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
Regarding the missing high brightness option for Torch: I somehow completely lost my Torch app, so I restored a backup and it was the old one before the redesign.

It appears that the missing high brightness app only has high brightness. (As in, normal mode is the same brightness as the previous high brightness.)

Verizon just announced XLTE today, I am in one of the markets (supposedly), do I have to do anything to my phone to get XLTE or should it just be automatic? (on 5/18 nightly w/ latest modem NC5)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crookedview:
I believe the NC5 modem updated us to AWS, so you should already be getting faster 4G speeds. My speeds doubled after the NC5 modem was flashed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dolphlungegrin:
Cannot hang up phone calls or use dial pad.

I searched this thread for this problem and I found a few others who are also having this issue, except there hasn't been a fix.

Problem:

When I place a call the "in-call" dial pad freezes and the screen remains black. The only way for me to hang up is to hit home, enter my pin, and hang up the call from the drop down toolbar menu. If I hold the screen from my face and call the screen will stay lit, however none of the buttons can be used. Hang up, speaker, dial pad, all of it is rendered useless.

I've had this issue since I switched to CM 11. I used several different nightlies and now the pushed build. I don't know what the issue is or if there is a fix for it. I've found a few places saying it might be my proximity sensor, however this operates perfectly fine when I flash back to TW or another ROM. Does CM default the proximity sensor to say it's near my face?

Luckily I'm able to hang up calls via the toolbar, however it's a nuisance calling anyone or anything that requires me to input data on the dial pad.

Any help would be great. I really like this ROM, however I'm not sure I can keep it as a DD if I can't use the pad correctly.

Thanks,

Dolph
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
When you originally flashed CM11 did you clean flash or just wipe data and cache then flash?

I ask because I had another issue that almost no one else reported. So I went back to stock from a nandroid, factory reset and allowed it to set everything up, then wiped data and cache only (recommended method in the OP) before flashing CM11. My issue went away afterwards. It was kinda a PITA but was worth it in the long run.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
Try using ktoonsez kernel, it will also install KTweaker which has a proximity sensor reading in it. See what reading it gives you and we can see if you have a dirty sensor.

TW is much more sensitive than CM with the sensor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riphamilton:
i'm [still] on M2. my notifications are at the lowest volume setting (one tick above vibrate), and now all of my notifications are playing at max volume. this started happening saturday - yes, i've rebooted. any ideas?

combined with the brightness/proximity sensor not working for me, i think i'll clean flash to a newer version this week. 5/2 nightly seems to be relatively bug free for most of you guys so i'll probably use that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobbarker2:
Anyone else have problems with CM slowing down dramatically after it's been on for a while? A reboot will solve it but it's annoying to have to do. Not running many apps or anything in the background for this to be happening.

Also a noteworthy change in 5/20 nightly http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/64256/. New gpu drivers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BaronLager:
I had the same issue. Clean the proximity sensor. From what I found out, the prox sensor will dim the screen, as well as disable the keypad, to protect against inadvertent button pressing, when it thinks it is close to your face. I cleaned my sensor, and problem went away immediately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] indolent:
I had the same issue. Going through the recalibration steps in this post solved it. I had to go through the whole thing. The first automatic calibration did nothing for me.

I found this linked from the known issues wiki page for the t-mobile S4. It was initially posted for the Note 2, but worked for my verizon S4 as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I noticed this too. About the time that CM11 starting to slow down I also noticed a decrease in battery life. I had to go as far as re flashing the rom, since doing that everything's good again. FWIW I am on the 5/4 nightly.

Is anyone still experiencing the sms notification bug? Haven't run CM in a bit and I'm itiching to flash but that was a little annoying.

Does Torch keep uninstalling itself for anyone else? I restore it with TB and without rebooting or anything it just disappears again. I'm super confused on why.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AzureShadow:
I noticed a handful of updates to bluetooth in the past 3 or 4 nightlies. If anyone has flashed these can you tell me if that has fixed the problems with bluetooth? I know on M6 my bluetooth was dropping in and out and then losing connection all the time, and that just doesn't cut it for me.

Also I would be interested to know if the compass is working properly on any of the new nightlies as once again, that didn't seem to be working on M6 when I had flashed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Something I have noticed.

Since updating to the 5/23 build I am having an issue accessing the menu functions of Dolphin Browser. It worked on the 5/18 build. When I touch the menu key the address bar and menu option just flash and quickly disappear. Not sure if it's really a CM11 issue, but it was fine prior to 5/23. I have attached a logcat for for anyone who is interested.

Had a complete system freeze this morning (5/23 build). A frequently used forum app was running and the app froze and about 5-10 seconds later the screen went dark. The only thing I could get to happen afterwards was to get the soft keys to light up. Finally had to do a battery pull and restart.

Have you tried the 5/27 nightly? I saw this commit:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/64722/

Might be worth trying 5/27 to see if it's fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I have it downloaded, but Haven't applied the update yet. I'll give it a shot and report back.

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

Flashed 5/27, G+ menu is working, Dolphin is still not. Guess I should contact Dolphin, too.

Immediately after reboot I had no data connection until I manually set an APN. This one has been around for a few weeks now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsimpson1:
Hey guys, i've noticed for a while now that CM nightlies enables an option called strict mode (different from the checkbox in devel. settings) which causes a lot of additional disk writes to /data/system/dropbox (you will see a lot of files with strictmode in the filename if you look). Entering this command in a terminal as root will stop those disk writes (upon reboot) by adding an additional setting to the end of your build.prop:

echo "persist.sys.strictmode.disable=1" >> /system/build.prop

I'm not saying it's going to make any miracles happen, just sharing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Dumb question. Where can I find the "strict mode" setting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsimpson1:
The setting for what this disables cant be found in any UI that i know of (but there IS a checkbox option in Developer Settings that says "strict mode enabled" which allows you to toggle visual indicators for the strict mode), but developers can turn it on or off through java code, and users can choose to disable it in the /system/build.prop file by adding persist.sys.strictmode.disable=1. You can read about what it is here.

Typically, normal users would have no use for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BaronLager:
Yes, it has... I reverted back to MK2 modem, as I read somewhere that may help, but it didn't. The APN is not sticking after a reboot.

Have any of the nightlies since M6 addressed gapless playback problems in Google Music? It works perfectly in stock and GPE.

what do you mean gapless playback?? i use google music everyday. i have no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
He's talking about how real music used to be played on vinyl :p ok, all kidding aside, it's where if you play a CD front to back, between tracks there is no empty (noiseless) space between tracks. You'd know what he meant if you'd ever listened to Pink Floyd lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Flashed the 6/2 build today and noticed a couple things.

When I chose to apply the update it stared the reboot process and hung at the Sammy logo when loading CWM 6.0.4.7. Pulled the battery, pressed power button, and it continued to boot into recovery and apply the update. Once finished it restarted without issue.

After reboot runtime had switched to Davlik. On previous builds it remained on ART. Switched back to ART without issue.

On a good note, the menu issue I reported a while back is no longer present.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gotroot801:
Exactly. Also the exact artist I was using to test it. That half-second gap between songs is maddening when trying to listen to DSOTM.

On A2DP, though, the first few milliseconds of each sample also gets dropped. Case in point: in navigation I'll hear "--undred feet, turn left" as opposed to "In two hundred feet, turn left". These are the only problems I'm having with CM. It's a minor nag, but seeing as my phone has largely replaced my iPod it's a pain to have to decide if this is work putting up with in order for my phone to be stable, or if I should go back to dandvh's GPE ROM and the not-quite-stable feel of running something like GravityBox on top of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
So when is the bug fixes we call 4.4.3 coming to this?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AzureShadow:
Battery Life

So I have been using the M3 release for a very long time now, and a few days ago I figured I would try the latest nightly, and for me at least there were very serious battery life issues. So I tried the newest Milestone, and the same thing happened. So then I started trying a few other ROM's like Danvdh's Google Edition rom, and even 2 different versions of Slim Rom. They all had the same battery life problem.

It seems that for me at least, anything released much after when M3 was released has very seriously about 1/2 - 3/4 the battery life of M3 while running the same apps in the same usage scenarios day to day.

Has anyone else noticed this? Or is it just a fluke with my device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
No battery issues here on a relatively recent nightly. I'm about a week behind though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I noticed battery life drop off about three weeks ago. It has improved over about the last week. I'm currently running the 6/2 build and battery life seems pretty good again. With normal usage for me (couple dozen texts, 15-20 calls, and usual app usage) I'm still at 41% after 15 hours off the charger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dasx86:
I've been keeping up on the nightlies and notice no such issue. Right now, i'm 17h30m off of the charger, with 1h10m screen usage. Currently at 60%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
I also agree I'm just a few days behind and no issues try reflashing and clearing cache and what not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
Has anyone flashed today's nightly yet? I'm a little fearful of the jf commits for deadlocks even though they do say they fix things heh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
i will flash after work today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I flashed it first things this morning. So far, everything seems to be ok. Haven't had one FC, freeze, or anything else. Yet. The only part I'm not diggin is the change to the dialer. There are now "icons" next to contacts. I haven't figured out how to turn it off or if it is even possible. Other than that I have no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NickSaul:
I'm on the latest nightly and my dialer is acting up. When I open it, it dialer forcecloses, but if i open Hangouts and hit the phone icon, the call will go through and the "com.android.incallui" forcecloses. I have to hang up the call from the notification.

I tried clearing the phone data/cache, clearing the cache and dalvik and fixing permissions in recovery, and re-flashing the 06/06 nightly, but it still happens. This is the first issue I've run into in a long time, and I update to the latest nightly every morning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DreamFX:
time for a clean flash it sounds like.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Markstache:
I'm on the Google edition ROM right now and am getting pretty sick of it. What's the most recent nightly that's most peoples daily driver? I've read back like a ways in the thread and haven't seen mention of a mostly stable release. I'm ok with some FCs or something here or there but I need to make sure GPS at least works. It's the battery life on GE that is killing me right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
I'm on the 4th of this month and I'm pretty good no fc issues.

Are you using a theme? That happened to me too, but changing styles back to holo (default) fixed that until the theme updates with the new dialer..

Team BlackOut... or Back Out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NickSaul:
I figured it out!

The theme I'm using (Gem Flat CM11 Theme) has the 4.4.2 dialer themed, but not the new 4.4.3 dialer, so that's messing it up somehow. If I go back to the stock CM11 theme the dialer opens just fine.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Been running 6/6 all day with no issues so far. I have just been dirty flashing on top of the last nightly.

The latest Gapps I see is 20140105, they should be fine. I personally am using pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.2-20131214-signed.zip. they've been good for me since going to kitkat.

Just checked and I see PA has 4.4.3 packages dated 6/3 so I'm downloading the latest now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Train88:
Well, considering CM uses different libs, etc than PA uses, I would stick to the official CM gapps... But that's your choice. I've dirty flashed for almost two months using their gapps, and I don't have (or have ever had) the majority of problems I see reported on here...

Not sure if this is ROM related on Gapps, but I'm getting wakelocks that are hours long from "Checkin Handoff" and the other Checkin services. I'm on clean flash of the latest 4.4.3 nightly using PA gapps. Never had this problem before and all my Google/location related settings are the same.

Which Gapps are you using? There are 4.4.2 gapps, and since June 3rd there are 4.4.3 packages.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobbarker2:
I'm using the 4.4.3 pa gapps from 06/03
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
The issue is related to Google Services (current version is 4.4.52 I think). You may be on an older version (or the could be some underlying event triggering it).

I found some info about it here. Some of these links are to older posts, but it's the same wakelock. May help.

Also forgot to mention, since 4.4.3 is new it is possible the CM team may have a couple new issues to work out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
Washed out colors?

I just flashed the 6/7 nightly (coming from I think the 6/3 nightly) and the colors seem very "dull" or washed out? I'm on the same brightness settings/etc.

Almost hazy or slightly less snappy as they were. Could be my imagination, I'm going to back this up, restore and see if it looks the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
where do i find the CM gapps. i been using PA gapps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
haha ok I knew I noticed something different. It wasn't the colors, it was that my wallpaper went from zoomed in to not zoomed in when I went from 4.4.2-based CM to 4.4.3-based CM. I think that was a bug, so glad it was fixed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gt5oh:
How has 4.4.3 been running for everyone? What bugs or quirks have you encountered and would you consider it able to be a daily rom?

For me it is good. I haven't noticed any issues yet. The only thing I did notice, and it has grown on me, is a couple UI changes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Ok, I think I have noticed a bug in CM11. I have had issues with some apps and data connectivity over the last couple days. Accuweather Platinum, My Verizon, and once in a while Tapatalk are reporting no data connection. Problem is internet and everything else that uses data works.

I am also getting a severe UI lag occasionally. Most noticeable when I open a file such as the attached logcat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Train88:
Did you clean or dirty flash? I've been dirty flashing so I just attributed the ui freezing to my laziness lol

Team BlackOut... or Back Out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Flashing method is unrelated to the UI freezes. It has been an on and off issue sor about three months. Some user experience it and others not so much.

For my app issues Accuweather was their problem. I contacted support and they were aware of the issue. The other two are hit and miss.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
The lockup issue when typing in Google now is still there. Wasn't expecting it to be fixed, but figured I'd report it anyway. :/ Sucks, I basically can't use Google now because it will lock up the UI and all I can do is reboot and it happens 1/2 the time I use it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
May not be a Google Now issue. I get the same thing on occasion using Root Explorer, RomManager, and once in a while with my web browser and messaging app. It seems like it is more likely to happen on a high memory use instance. Overall it is starting to improve over a few weeks back. I haven't had a UI freeze when rotating the display in a week or so now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
I don't get any other UI lockups and this is non-recoverable. That is, I have to reboot to use the device at all again. Strangely though, the power menu works allowing me to reboot which at least saves me from a battery pull. :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
i only had the google now lockup with nightly 6/5/14, flash 6/7/14 all is well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
Weird, EVERY build in recent history for me has had this bug. I can try 6/7 but I see no commits that would relate to a fix for this? So to be clear, the issue I see is when I open Google search (I actually have google now disabled) and start typing, 3-4 characters in, it will lock up. the cursor still blinks but I can't type or do anything in the UI except use the power menu (hold power button) to reboot :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gonzlobo:
Odd, I'm seeing lockups with those builds too. Went back to 6/6.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:

what gapps are you guys using??

or kernals??

i am using stock kernals

gapps pa 4.4.2 latest.

you guys know that xpose doesnt play right with CM. i say it because when i use xpose i was getting alot of weird issues with CM, then i uninstalled xpose all was well after. this was awhile back. i dont know if they fix xpose yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
Everything is stock for me except I set the DPI to 361. I used the cm gapps originally but don't re-flash those each time since cm11 zips retain those and I'd just have to re-update them from the play store after I flash every time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
You may be onto something there. Xposed has had issues in the past with CM until it was updated to work with it. This was even the case with CM10.
