I've had good days and bad days with battery life these last 13 days but honestly I noticed problems long before that build. When I get an incoming call, it takes forever to actually show who is calling and give the ability to answer it. I remember people complaining about that months ago and it doesn't seem to be fixed yet.

Is that what you mean by being stuck on the lock screen?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] minkmendor:
oh yeah the call thing has been an issues since cm11! you are the first one to actually side with me on it. have no idea whos calling as the screen doesn't wake up till almost the last ring. The lock screen thing is random. you will swipe to unlock, here the noise. phone will vibrate and stay on lock screen. then about 15 seconds later ... the home screen will pop up.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
Have either of you tried Gummy? I've had none of these problems and been running Gummy since Ink let me test before it dropped. If you decide to try it, the latest nightly's have the same issues (cm base and all), but [MENTION=5190980]InkSlinger420[/MENTION] has a personal build on page 4 that is amazing. I'm also running [MENTION=4145127]thomas.raines[/MENTION] kernel that he posted in his LZ thread. Battery life is amazing as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dledwith2:
I haven't tried Gummy yet. Will I have to do a clean wipe and reinstall all my apps from scratch?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
First off, there is no "siding" involved..Its been a known issue reported by multiple users...and as far as the time to show caller I'd or lock screen unlock, has any users used the "Wake Lock" app by darken in the play store and enabled the call ui option in its settings...worked fantastic on the i577 (only reason I suggest it) also can set it to half wake lock or mess around and find what wakelocks work best for your situation..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Gummy is more aosp so a lot of bugs don't exist there..hardware yes,(compass,speakerphone,etc of course) but things like waking are not an issue at all for me on the i577 since making the switch..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
Yes. A clean install is definitely a must. But wouldn't it be worth it if your problems were gone (not guaranteeing anything, bro. Each phone is different)? Do a nandroid of current setup, try Gummy. That way you can go right back if things don't work out. But I understand the setup thing is a bast-rd, really isn't much fun.

Titanium your data and apps would probably work, too. Since you're staying in kitkat. But I'm a fresh and clean guy if there's issues and trying to fix...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Some really flash happy people round these parts...? People should find a ROM that works for em, and ride that train...(hence why I dropped a BUNCH of projects)...but as [MENTION=5087305]njstein[/MENTION] states, tibu should work for the transfer..if not, at least your device will be working the way you need,maybe not hope, but need..it is a phone first after all..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] minkmendor:
lol ink that wasn't me taking a stab or anything. I should have said "i didn't see anyone else report the issue" ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
I understand, just felt the need to clarify..?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dledwith2:
I agree Ink, as much as I like having the latest and greatest software, I want the damn hardware to work. I'm tempted to go back to the stock ICS rom from Samsung and just root it to use certain apps and rip out the tmobile bloatware. I've read that cm10 worked fine but I've also heard others complain that some things didn't work in that rom as well.

Do you have any links that would point me to more info on that. I remember seeing a known issues list for cm11 but not sure about cm10. I also never found an old cm9 ICS rom to try, does anyone have a link or recommendation for that?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
To be honest, my i577 is back on liquidsmooth jb (which was my first port,and I got it from you guys http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2072332 ) running great with xposed modules like gravitybox,swipeback,Xuimod,and has full transparency, so for the most part looks just 4.4 custom ROM with all the bells and whistles...AND IT FULLY WORKS!!

I'm not sure on the needed recovery, though. I've been told that a downgrade isn't necessary, but just in case it doesn't flash, that could be the issue. [MENTION=4041997]dwitherell[/MENTION] posted a download link near the end of the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Updated my prior post with info about LS for you guys..where I got my base from..runs great on my port..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
I'm considering dropping back as well. Miss the speaker phone. Just not sure about the recovery thing. Do you know [MENTION=5190980]InkSlinger420[/MENTION] if the recovery has to be downgraded?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Not sure....check the bible for 4.1.2 recovery and DL it in case the flash fails..and its not just speakerphone,compass,screen,camera,everything works..and with the evolution of xposed,why the hell not...lol..

will wait

As I prefer CM to other roms, I will wait until there is official word the popup bug and the boot hang bug (03/13 nightly) have been squashed before flashing any nightly past 02/28.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Very wise...?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] JamTastic:
yeah

I don't have another device to put my SIM in, but I have tried the enable,power cycle,disable method to no avail. I can ignore the icon until the bug is squashed, lol !
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] minkmendor:
haha yeah im in the same boat - my other device is an iphone 4 ... ill be damned if i ever put my sim in that POS again ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Skywalker.00:
That bug was related to that specific version of BeanStalk. By the time I got around to trying to update it my box went down. Haven't been able to update it since. I do apologize for the inconvenience.

-Paranoid Nexus 5-
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
I thinks its because so many devices use at least 4g..its now the default..the other options will help with battery drain and such as well (should one choose to use it on 4g,LTE)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dledwith2:
What's the reasoning behind using outdated radios? Is there some know issue that I should be aware of? I'm on Baseband version T769UVMB1.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] tommyboy8125:
In my case there was an echo using a newer radio.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
As far as I know, it's a personal area preference. If the radio you're using works for you in your area, stay with it. But on a different radio you might get stronger service, your data might stay at H+ instead of jumping around, etc. For me, after I flashed 11 official, I had to go to U5 because the U1 didn't give me service. I could reflash and see if it works now (which I probably will at some point). But no, there's no issue that I'm aware of.

The U5 is recommended by Uber, that's the only reason it's popped back up on here.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dledwith2:
Good to know, thanks. I haven't experience any issues myself. I just flashed the stock ICS rom less than a month ago to get the most current radio and everything else from Kies before I moved over to CM11. I did a hash check of the latest rom files on Samsung-updates.com if you ever want to try the current radio again. Or I would be happy to pull mine for you if you provide instructions.

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

Thanks for the quick feedback. I gave the benefit of the doubt to the carrier and assumed they fixed something by releasing a newer radio even though I wasn't having any known issues. I think I may be getting better battery life since I switched but I wouldn't swear to it. I also live pretty close to a tower.

recovery

so right now i'm on 4.3, when updating to 4.4 do i need to install the new 4.4 recovery first?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] lanrrydon:
TRY ThIS

You can try this *#*#4636#*#* code to switch between H+ (WCDMA) or E (GSM)

Click on phone you gonna have different options to choose from

WCDMA ONLY : This will be only for 4g with out changing

WCDMA PREFERED : This will switch between H+ and E but will stay on H+ more than E

GSM PREFFERED : This will switch between H+ and E also but will stay on E more than H+

GSM ONLY : Well you should know what this is already.....

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

Yes you gonna need that .. Just flash the recovery provided on this thread on your normal 4.3 recovery Then follow the steps providing in OP to flash your rom and join the team.. LOL..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Thanks everyone for chiming in and helping each other :good: .. Its great to see this thread so active.. ;)

Everything everyone has said rings true..The radios do sometimes cause an echo..and Yes you NEED to be on 4.4 recovery for it all to work right..Everything is different on 4.4..(hence the time to release functions,The whole roms need to be rebased)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] OneBiggBoss:
Don't quote me on this but I believe that you should update to the latest one just in case. I used Rom Manager to update mine when coming from 4.1.2 over to KitKat, although I had to pay 1.99, I had no problems whatsoever updating. But I am not using this version of 4.4 I am using Carbon 4.4 Build 11 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2535862 . I just kept seeing in a couple places that you should update recovery. Although I seen a couple direct links for 4.4 recovery.img and zips I stayed away from those since I'm still a noob and just used Rom Manager. I'm at latest recovery version

Device - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

Android Version - 4.4.1
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dledwith2:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager I am using the latest ClockworkMod Recovery from this website v6.0.3.8 Touch.

When I used the one as instructed in the op of the unofficial cm11 thread and assuming the same one in this op, I was able to flash cm11 just fine but I was not able to go back to cm10 or cm9 which I needed to do at the time.

I'm not suggesting you go against the wisdom in the opening post but I did want to share my experience. I really would like to know WHY they suggest using the recovery they do, especially since mounting sd cards in recovery doesn't work right anymore and partitioning doesn't even show up like it did in CWM v5.5.0.4

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

I didn't catch this post before I put my 2 cents in below. I'm not using the recovery in the OP. CWM 6.0.3.8 is what I'm on because it allows me to got back to cm10 if needed, whereas the recovery in the op does not. Do you have any technical reasons you could elaborate on as to why I should switch to a newer one that utilizes kit kat goodness. Like I mentioned in a different post. I'm not able to mount internal or ext sd cards with the recovery in the op. I know you don't have the blaze device but are you able to use those functions on your device?

If you have a recovery that works for you, Thats fine..The recovery in the op was the first 4.4 recovery to drop..If anyones willing to make a flashable zip of the 2 (touch and non-touch) from the imgs on clockworkmod, that would be fine as well, atleast for people to try.. ;) As this is not my primary device i only put in the op things that im aware of..and i wasnt aware of them...

Oh gee. So sorry everybody. Me, being one of the few people who is no-longer having the problem (yet probably the first to have discovered it), would be the person you're all waiting for. I'm so sorry that I was quite busy and missed this whole past-days' conversation.

Here it is, the 3/1/2014 nightly that is free of the pop-up bug. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a full-wipe before trying to install it. It will NOT work unless you clear cache, system AND data.

Addition:

I seem to recall that even after having done a clean install after a wipe cache/system/data, once I let the install finish... I STILL had to "factory data reset". That was a very nasty bug, so some additional soap and bleach was required to clean it up. And I also recollect that I had to reinstall GAPPS as well.

ALSO... once it is installed, you will probably still have the forwarding icon. Go into phone settings and forward your phone so that it agrees with the notification. Power your phone down. Power it back up. Go BACK into settings and unforward your phone. This caused the notification to go away for me.

My phone works every-bit-identical as to how it did BEFORE the pop-up bug.

Its something being written to the Sim, hence why enabling and then disabling seems to get rid of the notification after you flash back..

enabling disabling didn't do the trick on mine. mine is just special fred I guess. I can live with the icon though.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dsulliii:
Ink... yeah, sounds like a good idea so that people will go back and see that it's all already been discussed and addressed as-best-as it can be for now.

JamTastic... BEFORE this thread gets locked (if Ink locks it), I'd like to have a clarification on your particular problem in THIS particular scenario. BECAUSE... I also had that same problem when I full-wipe flashed back to 3/1/2014. But if I forwarded the phone and POWERED IT DOWN, then after I powered it back up and unforwarded it, THAT is when the forwarding notification went away. So when you did it, did you power it down while it was forwarded? I'm only asking because I want to know for sure if your scenario is different than mine.

I'm thankful that the 3/1/2014 works perfectly for me. I'd hate to lose Kitkat now that I have it.
