This is an improvement. The compass in M9 was not even moving well. Now, it is moves well but is always off by by 180 if I understand it right. We better get it resolved now - should be simple to fix from here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I think the compass has always been an issue in CM11. Functionality has been hit or miss but you understand what I meant. If stationary or walking my orientation is off by 180°. Get in the car and drive and it is correct because GPS calculates it based on direction of travel. I guess as long as your not lost and/or can only walk out you're good, lol. I created an issue on the JIRA Nightly Regressions but I think I am the only commentator. It has been assigned and I update it every few days so it doesn't get closed but I don't think there has been any progress.....

DId you go with the NG6+nonhlos?

If so, do you have a link? The one from that main modem thread for me is dead
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stoicwood:
Personally, I haven't tried the NG6+nonhlos, but I have been running the NC5+nonhlos with what seem to be consistent results with everyone else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I was running NG6+nonhlos but reflashed MDK+nonhlos then flashed NG6 modem only. No more WiFi disconnect when cycling BT since doing that.

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

FWIW if I read correctly the suggestion is to run the nonhlos that matches the bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] phonedawg:
This is an important use case that is affected because of our compass issue - Sometimes when I need walking directions, I open google maps and see where I am and the direction my phone is pointing to on the map. Based on that, I know which direction to walk in. Now with the compass screwed up, I usually end up walking in the wrong direction and then when I see that my location on the map has made progress in the wrong direction, I turn around and walk the other way which is the right direction. This is annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stoicwood:
I was actually curious about that, as well. I haven't had any trouble running the NC5+nonhlos on my MDK bootloader, but I will certainly revert and use only the newer modem before documenting anything radio-related.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andyc2d:
I can't seem to get my gps working at all on 11/02 with the latest modem NG6, I've tried factory resets, formatting system, still nothing. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Not sure. I use GPS Status & Toolbox and get a lock almost immediately. When all else fails the usual fix is to revert to a known working backup or to stock, get a GPS lock, then follow the usual procedure to flash CM11. The other option is to wait and flash the next nightly and see if it works again, if not......
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stoicwood:
I suggest similar to FernBch. What worked for me in the same situation was to flash M9 clean, get GPS lock (I used GPS Status & Toolbox as well, even though it hadn't worked for me in the newer nightlies). Then once everything seems to be working well, dirty flash a newer nightly over it. I am using NC5+nonhlos currently, and others have used matching +nonhlos to their bootloaders then updated the modem to NG6 with success. I would say try to get a working version then dirty flash to recent. I don't know why it works, but it seems consistent.

Slideshow FC's for anyone in stock messaging ? I'm on 11-03 build but it does the same thing in M10 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kyuubi08:
I an on Tmobile, and I can not get a GPS lock to save my life. I am able to get one on touch wiz, but not cm. Anyone else with the same issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stoicwood:
Read the posts directly above yours. If those methods don't work, let us know.

This works instantly when I have issues https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidlab.gpsfix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kyuubi08:
I have tried a lot of the GPS tools and nothing seems to work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Are your location settings on high accuracy?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kyuubi08:
Yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
I know this has been said a lot here and other threads related to GPS issues, but have you restored to a TW stock build, get a lock, then immediately restore back to CM? Usually fixes all issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kyuubi08:
I have. I have recently reverted back to Hyperdrive, verified that I was able to get a lock, and reverted back to no success
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Only other suggestion I would have is to try a T-Mobile stock tw build, getting a lock and restoring back to cm. Maybe HD isn't cutting it. This technique reminds me of the Thunderbolt days lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
The "when all else fails" method when you can't get a GPS lock is to restore either TW or a known working backup, get a GPS lock, then follow the required method to reinstall CM. If you restore a backup after getting a GPS lock you are overwriting everything with the backup. Reinstalling clean (or dirty if possible) after getting the GPS lock usually fixes things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riphamilton:
I'm in Europe and bought the $25 global roaming package. I'm assuming vzw won't help me out too much bc I'm running cm, but I can't get data to work. I've switched preferred network and turned roaming on. Also received the "welcome to italy" text from verizon

Any tips for international roaming on cm?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MustGoFast:
Shouldn't be an issue if you have the roaming settings turned on properly in the radio sections in settings. I've used it throughout Europe and in Central America before including northern Italy last fall.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] .Ejekt:
Oh noes! Looks like the latest nightly delta borked my WiFi. And I was doing so well, too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
On 11/7? I flashed that this morning and have had no new issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
Is the IR working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nydalxy:
Has anyone had issues with sending MMS? I can't get them to send at all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stranula:
I was having issues with it. Checking my APN settings fixed it. What I did:

In System settings

Select "Mobile networks"

Select "Access Point Names"

Select "Verizon Internet"

Set "MMSC" to http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

Set "MMS port" to 80

Set "APN type" to default,dun,supl,mms

Press menu and save

Restart

Hope that helps you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nydalxy:
Yes, that actually did do it. Thanks a lot. Although, I did attempt this earlier, for some reason it worked this time around. If you don't mind, how does everything else look? I've never messed with apn settings before today... Is the mcc, mnc, and everything else good? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stranula:
Your settings look exactly like mine and everything is working fine for me. With a lot of trial and error I found that it won't let you change a couple of settings like mcc or mnc. If you do change them, when you save it the settings reset.

Glad it worked for you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nydalxy:
That is sort of what was happening to me earlier. I was trying to change those 2 and it would make the entire thing disappear. I would have to reset it to get everything back. Very strange... Thanks again though. Everything is back to normal. Cm has been running great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riphamilton:
I'm guessing everyone else has a GSM/UMTS option that I'm missing. (settings>mobile networks>preferred network type)

I've removed and restarted with/without the sim, updated to the latest modem, wiped cache/dalvik. No dice. I'd update CM as well, but don't want to run the risk of something catastrophic since I won't be home for more than another week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
Has anyone gotten the IR working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stranula:
I've lost all vibrations (phone call, notifications, haptic feedback). Going through the settings, everything is turned on for vibrations, but they aren't working. Anybody have any ideas of ways to get it working again? I know it isn't the actual hardware because it vibrates when the phone is turned on. Any help is appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
I am seeing the same behavior - but I am back on the August M9 build. I am wondering if it is related to something GAPPS, not the ROM itself. I see there is a new PA-GAPPS download this morning, I am going to try those, see if it helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stoicwood:
I haven't noticed this behavior on 11/07. When you turn your phone to vibrate with volume down, does it vibrate then? I'll test notifications as well, but that vibration worked for me.

Edit: Notifications also work fine. What nightly(ies) are people seeing the issue on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
So, flashed m12 this morning and as expected MMS is still borked on vzw but following the below instructions they are back working. Change those and only those and you will be good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
Haptic feedback seems ok, and it vibrates when I put it into vibrate mode, but then the notifications don't vibrate - GMAIL, MMS, ringer - all set to vibrate, but nothing happens. I wiped, reloaded M9, same thing. This is a new issue, in about the last week - which is why I keep thinking GAPPS, though that seems completely unlikely. It is the only thing I can think of that has changed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Gapps cannot affect vibration, not possible. But if you want to prove it, flash an older gapps package or a non pa package.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
That is my expectation, also. But EvolveSMS, vibrations work fine. I turned on Notifications in FB, no problem there. But anything Google-related - Gmail, Dialer, Hangouts, no vibration. Makes no sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stoicwood:
It sounds like it could be GAPPS-related if it is only the Google apps. I have not used PA GAPPS in a long time, so my tests are all with the latest official.

I am on VZW and have not noticed any MMS issues for a few weeks. On 11/07 MMS works fine for me without changing any APN settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stranula:
I was actually getting no notifications in any way. So changing the ringer volume didn't make the sound or vibration. I didn't come up with a solution, but just restored an old backup and now in working order again. I'm now on M12 with the latest PA-GAPPS and everything is working as it is supposed to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] musicfreak190:
Wow i clean flashed 11/10 yesterday.. Can i dirty flash m12?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lx1907:
I just did a quick dirty flash over M9 yesterday. Network/Wifi switch didn't seem to work cleanly for me on M12 where it worked very stable on M9. I also noticed the sound notifications were distorted on high volume as well. I haven't played around too much with it and reverted back to M9. Anyone else with similar issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] snakecharmer23:
Stick with that nightly if you aren't having problems. The code for M12 was branched from the nightlies November 3 and you'd probably have issues if you dirty flash it.

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cyanogenmod-11-m12
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] .Ejekt:
I dirty flashed from 11/9 to m12. No issues. YMMV.

Actually, one problem I've been running into over the past week-or-so of nightlies: I can't seem to install most CM11 themes successfully. Most installations fail. Anyone else having this issue? Seems to happen almost exclusively with themes in the Android L style. Weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
I've been having the same issues ever since upgrading to m11 from m10...

I tried the APN fix but nothing is working. Half the time I never get the message, other half it takes like 20 minutes to come in..

Hangouts is showing its using a MetroPCS APN. I accidentally edited the wrong APN in system settings, I modified LTE - Verizon instead of just Verizon so I redid it on the correct one. I hope I didn't mess up the LTE - Verizon one. I put it back to what I remember it originally had. Can anyone just confirm for me the original LTE - Verizon APN setting please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CrookedKnight:
Anybody know if the CM10.2 phone APK is still floating around anywhere? I finally upgraded to 11 (it took a system crash to motivate me) and I haaaaaaaaaaaaate Google's new phone app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
10.2 is still listed as available for download here:

http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jfltevzw

You could always download and extract it from the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
I've never had so many problems on a CM build. Ever since upgrading from m10 to m11 just nothing but issues. Can't send/receive MMS. I lose 4G connection all together and can't get it back at all. Phone was just at 20% battery, I pulled the battery and rebooted, now shows 40%.. I'm either going to flash up to m12 or full wipe back to m10
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rholm:
So far m12 has been great here.

Cheers,

Rich
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
dirty flashed m12 last night and saw 0 change. still not receiving MMS through textra or hangouts. at least it hangouts it shows up and says downloading but never comes through. textra doesn't even see it come through and keeps erroring that it cant download the MMS. im going to full wipe and flash m12 tonight, if it doesnt change im going back down to m10.

which APN do you guys have selected in the list of APNs? LTE-Verizon Internet or Verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stoicwood:
Those aren't in the list of APNs on a clean flash. I don't believe anyone has had trouble with clean flashes of M12 or clean flashes of M9 then dirty to around M12. Most people who have spoken up with issues have been using a dirty flash to or from some of the rough builds around M10 or M11. I haven't had any real issue for about a month or more with the nightlies, but I normally don't try the milestones for long.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
Okay, definitely going to full wipe and reflash m12 tonight.

Edit: off topic, but anyone have good practices on setting lock screen wallpaper? I miss having it independant inside the display settings. Now that its inside the Themes tab its been such a pain. I take 2 photos, both of the same resolution and I set one as my wallpaper and it scales to fit the screen using nova launcher. but if i take the other image and try to use it as lockscreen wallpaper I can't scale it to the fit the screen and it basically only focuses on one spot of the wallpaper. Looking for an easier way to do this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
You definitely want to wipe and clean flash for M12. M10 and M11 were riddled with bugs. Tie that with quite a bit of code change since mid August and, IMHO, you want to get rid of all the old stuff. Back everything up and wipe internal storage too. For me, when the behavior is really bad, I have a stock MDK nandroid I restore to, boot long enough only to get service and GPS lock, then clean flash CM over. It is usually quite trouble free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kyuubi08:
Best thing would be to go to the themes section in settings. There should be setting for lock screen wallpaper.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
That's what I was doing. UI is horrible though, can't scale the image to fit screen.

Yea, did a full wipe last night and loaded m12. Hopefully things go better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
been on M9 for the past couple of months.. i clean flash M12,, everything works well except. group MMS.. i can not send group messages.. i will receive the messages in group, like couple of hours later.. even a hole day later.. is there a fix for this or do i have to change setting in APN ????.. that APN setting is new to me. never seen it on M9
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stoicwood:
To be honest, I don't do much with group MMS. I can't speak to this from experience, but from everything I have read here, there should be no fixes necessary in the recent nightlies or M12. The APN settings are sometimes weird in Hangouts, but everything seems to work. I have heard of no issues using the default messaging app or others after a clean install. Maybe someone with more experience with group MMS can confirm.

I would not mess with APN settings until someone does, because they should be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
this work for me..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riphamilton:
just to follow up in case this happens to anyone else in the future, i was able to fix this by using the *#*#4636#*#* dialer code and manually changing the preferred network type.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] .Ejekt:
Had a WEIRD issue last night. On M12, rebooted after a day's use (working perfectly), and now the device won't turn on. I don't even get an LED when charging. No screen activity, even when trying to boot to recovery. I've tried several different batteries and chargers, nothing seems to be working. I've already ordered a replacement. Anyone else ever have this happen to them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ctoph0:
Are people upgrading from m9 yet? I'm still holding out for a monthly that's as solid. I hear m12 is alright what does everyone think?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
Sort of off topic, but I put a nano sim (with adapter) into my S4 in preparation for my Nexus 6, and everything was working (or so I thought). But then I noticed I could not send MMS or group texts. Turns out my phone number in settings is "unknown". Is there a way to fix this (like edit the sim card's info) or did I get a bad sim card or what? If I set my phone number in the sms app I can then send MMS but is there a way to fix this globally?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
I finally moved on from M9 to M12, and am now on the current nightly. Everything is solid for me except for the compass, which appears to be permanently borked. For that reason alone, I'll likely wind up back on M9.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
In case you all are interested . .

A little buggy, MMS broken, the home button doesn't wake the device. Besides that, quite stable.

http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=cm12&device=jfltevzw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
The compass has never worked correctly. The orientation is correct when driving because it is calculated based on GPS data. It just doesn't work right when walking or stationary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
That is exactly right. If you are standing outside looking at the stars with an astronomy app, or walking slowly looking for a geocache, the compass is 100% useless. Therein lies the rub.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drt054:
I might be behind the times here, is Invisiblek still working on the GS4? Also Euroskank has put out a CM12 build. Not a lot working, just wondering where we stand.

N/m answered my own question http://www.invisiblek.org/roms/cm-12.0/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
He is a listed over at Cyanogenmod and does do work on jflte but, if I read correctly, no longer uses the GS4 as his daily device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
is there any more info on these builds? maybe a thread listing bugs/problems/feedback to see how its running? im curious to try it but dont really want to flash it blind.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] OstrichSak:
Hey guys, long time ROMer getting back into the game after a year or two away. Rooted my SGS4 and ran stock for over a year but am finally feeling the itch again. I was trying to find the most recent 'stable' version of CM11 and found out in my searching that there has been quite a few changes in the game to include what stuff is even called. I think what I've decided is that, as of right now, the two options for a daily driver ROM would be M9 or M12, is that right? I'm trying to find a bug list to see if I want to take on the bugs for the increased features & performance (memory) or just go with CM10.2 on my SGS4 VZW. If anyone wants to have a conversation about this topic here that would be helpful as my phone is backed up, cleared and ready for a ROM.... just need to figure out which one to download & flash.

Halp! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
First of all, I hope you didn't take an OTA past MDK, because if you did aboot is patched for the loki vulnerability, and you can't downgrade the aboot anymore. :( If you're past MDK, then you're stuck with safe strap ROMs. If you're still on MDK (you can check in settings -> about phone -> status) you should be good to go. I'll let others speak to the preferred/most stable version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] OstrichSak:
Build number? The last three digits are MK2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] OstrichSak:
Looks like I'm boned. MK2 is after MDK so I can't just install CM10 or CM11, I don't think. I have root access, TWRP & Safestrap so I guess I will have to look into how to use that to install ROMs and which ROMs I can flash. Lame sauce.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
nvm, saw you took the OTAs.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I see the bug were WiFi disconnects when toggling BT has returned. You must cycle airplane mode to get WiFi to reconnect. Anyone else see this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gonzlobo:
Jeez, which nightly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I noticed it a couple days ago. I have created an issue over at JIRA, maybe it will get sorted out before it gets out of control like it did the last time. I have also seen comments over in the international GS4 thread about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stoicwood:
11/21 cannot reproduce, but I have never been able to reproduce this one. Is a paired BT device nearby when you do this? I don't normally have one nearby, but I can try it out when I am in my car and see if I get the issue then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Nah, don't have to be paired. Just need both on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drt054:
The Sprint GS4 got a CM12 build today, should be our turn very soon!!! :D

http://www.invisiblek.org/roms/cm-12.0/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ban-Hammer:
I'm going to flash the CM12 build again tonight and see if the data issue is still present. Other than that it certainly feels like a DD, amazing first build. I'll also test Bluetooth connections and music player. If things go right in my life, I'll start building my own CM12 and using the codefire bump service. We'll see about that though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Train88:
I tried euroskanks cm12 build a little earlier tonight, and it seemed pretty stable and quick to me even though he's just been cherry picking commits, so I imagine there should be similar results in an official cm build.

Just checked. Nothin to test yet.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

I just had a thought, and it wasn't good either.

Lollipop is out and we all know that CM is already moving towards CM12. That means that development and fixes for CM11 will be slowing down. Probably soon. Especially for our S4. CM11 has many things that are not working as well as they should and I wonder if that state will linger. CM10 had some things not fully fixed, too.

Hmmmm............

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

One other thing. I flashed 11/25 a few minutes ago and I'm already going back to 11/24. 11/25 has a bad SoD issue. The screen goes dark and I cannot wake the device. Only way out is a forced reboot. Guess I'll go to JIRA with my Logcat and last_kmsg and create a new report.
