Q: The Samsung screen on my device isn't changing to beanstalk. IM BOOTLOOPING HELP!

A: For some unknown reason, sometimes it gets stuck in a bootloop, DON'T WORRY, just turn off your phone and turn it back on, it may take a few times, but it will boot, if it doesn't boot after quite a few you may have gotten a bad download, still, DONT WORRY, you can still get into recovery mode by holding down the volume up & home buttons while your device is being turned on.

Q: I'm on the runtime ART, and I keep getting process.gapps has quit unexpectedly. What am I doing wrong/ why is this happening?

A: The runtime ART is quite new and Google is slowly but surely working out the kinks, its not perfect yet, so you may have some troubles with it, if you get a lot of these errors, I suggest going back to the Dalvik runtime for the time being.

- I have also read that having multiple Google accounts can cause this. If someone would confirm this for me, that would be great.

Q: Can I dirty flash?

A: if you want to be laughed at by all your friends... No but seriously, don't dirty flash when installing your operating system because there are a plethora of problems that can go on if you dirty flash, if you have problems and you dirty flashed, the first thing someone is going to tell you is that you need to go clean flash your phone and then tell you to come back if you still have the problem. So personally, I wouldn't take the chance.

Q: People who are helping me are asking for a "logcat"... Uhhh?

Under Settings>Beanstalk options>Build.prop Mods> proximity sensor delay. I personally have not tested any of the values as I haven't needed too, but play around with them and figure out which one works best!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rdalisky:
I'm running the latest 4.4.2 with the 12/15 PA Gapps, and the latest KT kernel. This was a clean flash from the latest TWRP.

I can't figure out how to turn the screen off when in call, its like the proximity sensor doesn't work. I keep ending calls on accident. Any fix for this?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rdalisky:
Didn't work unfortunately. I'm not sure if this is a kernel issue or a ROM issue.

Compass not working

Hi all,

On the latest build, clean flash, from most excellent coder CPA Poke, clean install, KT Kernel from the 21st, compass is not working :(

Works on Google Edition and TW ROMs, just not on AOKP. Anyone experiencing this? I use GPS Status app to verify.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] stingdude:
Haven't used the compass but I will check it out when I get back to my house!

Edit: [MENTION=303421]Yom[/MENTION] what compass app are you using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Yom:
Hi StingDude!

I am using GPS Status (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=es_419 - The radar/compass does not move), Car Locator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.edwardkim.android.carlocatorfull&hl=es_419 - Does not even launch, complains there is no compass on the phone), and myriad compass, maps and bubble level apps.

I have tried with a clean, full wipe, stock kernel, only these apps installed, still does not work... real bummer as I had to go back to jerky TW 4.3 where everything works...

Any help to get this working on BeanStalk would seriously rock. And thanks, man.

I hadn't checked my compass until I read your post but it appears I have the same problem (compass locked on North with GPS Status). My actual GPS seems to work fine.

Am I missing something or are there three options no longer available in the newest Beanstalk? I'm coming from the last JB to KK, in the OP.

1 - Long press hold the back button to kill app

2 - Breathing missed text message and phone call icons option to turn on and off

3 - No custom quick settings tile
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] stingdude:
I only know what I've read, but long back press and custom qs tiles are missing, I'll check the newest update for breathing.

Edit: Post below lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bcflyfisher:
None of those are available in 4.4 Beanstalk yet. Personally, I prefer holding back to switch to last app over back to kill but either way there's no custom back button yet...

I've been getting a strange "SIM has been removed, please reboot" error where the phone would just all of the sudden lose contact with the SIM on the latest 4.4.2 builds. Anyone else experience that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] stingdude:
only thing i could think of would be first do a clean flash and then if you still have a problem, then try redownloading. do you have a custom kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TipoF130:
I notice the newest build includes a new Launcher option called Launcher3, is this a Trebuchet style baked in launcher based on the Google Experience Launcher? If so I look forward to it being developed further, especially if it's possible to use it in conjunction with Google Now in the future.

What is the symbol for the app? Is it a blue circle with a house?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TipoF130:
Thanks, it's a white house with an android in front of it, so far it has options for columns and rows and otherwise looks like the stock launcher.

I was using these same Gapps on the previous release of Beanstalk though, and unless I missed it, Launcher3 wasn't in there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] stingdude:
Maybe they updated?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bcflyfisher:
I always look here and grab the latest version, which is always supposed to be up to date from Google. I'm now on the Jan 11th package...And that's the first time I've seen Launcher 3.

I used to be able to entirely block unwanted spam text messages such that they never even appeared. It seems as though the built in blacklist option in the Beanstalk messaging options only stops the notification from the status bar but not the message appearing the inbox. I notice even when I use the "Calls Blacklist" app, the spam texts still get through. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] stingdude:
Have you checked the settings under black list? I personally don't use blacklist so if anyone else has a better idea

Currently running BeanStalk 4.4.215-20140120-jfleatt (on Rogers SGH-1337) with the KT-SGS4-KK4.4-AOSP-TMO-01.23.2014 kernel.

Everything is running pretty good so far except for Poweramp. Randomly and thankfully very infrequently, for a moment it will almost sound like if you were to scratch the needle on a record. It's like the digital reading hangs for a moment then rights itself. I know for a fact that these files are not corrupted as they play fine on my computer and have been played many times without error by several different versions of Beanstalk. Has anyone else experienced this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] stingdude:
I have, 1 it might be that since poweramp updated 2 have you changed any settings in poweramp like the buffer settings?

I started having issues right away as soon as I installed this version of the rom. Nothing had been tweaked by that point. I've actually now set the poweramp buffer to maximum and put the external sdcard read ahead at maximum. Still having issues. It's not something that is going to make me stop using Beanstalk (Beanstalk is the best I've tried so far so it's going to take something major to make me switch), but I would really love to get this problem figured out.

I use Google Maps and Map My Ride. The gps either searches for location forever or doesn't lock. In previous non-Beanstalk ROMS, I used the agps patch by Crypted (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1438129). I don't know if the patch is already baked into BeanStalk or if the patch is compatible with the S4.

All good with latest build except that my Bluetooth keeps force closing with my '13 Ram Uconnect. I can set it up once and it's fine for the drive but as soon as I leave the vehicle and return it starts FCing and that's the end of it. Worked fine with my older JVC unit in the old truck. Not sure which piece of electronics to blame, but the S4 is the one showing the error...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] 21cdb:
I had similar problems on my '14 Grand Cherokee SRT Uconnect. It worked OK if I just paired/connected and said no to everything else like giving access to the phonebook and messages. You might try deleting cache + data for Bluetooth share and go through the pairing again and see if answering no to those things helps.

I know kit Kat has issues with writing to SD. I installed exposed 2.6.1, and installed the kit Kat write to SD fix.

However, I can't seem to: (a) move apps to the external sd card using ROM Toolbox, Titanium Pro, App 2 SD or (b) save Titanium Pro backups to the external SD card. I searched XDA, Android Central, and performed a web search.

Anyone on Beanstalk overcome this challenge?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Skyerin:
Hi guys (and gals),

So, I've placed an order for my nexus 5 :D and am now looking at cases for it. Now, I really like a good strong case. For example, on my xperia play, I had the trident aegis (I wanted kraken but hey ho) and on my nexus 4 I have the armourdillo (I can barely use it though).

Now, I really liked those cases, but on those phones it was easier to cope with the phone being larger with a fat case on it.

The nexus 5 however, will be the biggest phone I've owned and as such, getting the biggest, bombproof case going is just not an option (small hands :( ). So my question is this; what's the best case I can get which won't add too much bulk to the point of it being unusable?

I have currently been looking at the spigen cases (slim armour mainly, but I've read that the neo hybrid is apparently better?? :confused: ) but would like all your thoughts in this matter. Lots of info is great and budget isn't an issue (if the benefits justify the cost).

Thanks for all your help, in advance :)

P.S. As for screen protectors, I settled on the rhino shield. They looked to be the best as far as impacts were concerned (yes, I'm scared of drops).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zolo185:
I have the neo hybrid and slim armor and I like using the slim armor more. Better protection and better feel. I got the champagne for slim and silver for neo and I like the look of the slim a lot more. Also the ballistic case seems to be really good had one on my gs3 and it worked great.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] noXcape:
I got the SG maxx ballistic and its pretty solid...minus the screen protector... But its easy to just order the screen protector you want and the case doesn't mess with it. Its a very good case and the holster is also very solid.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] pocketrussian:
I bought the Acase Google Nexus 5 Case Slim Superleggera PRO Dual Layer from Amazon and really like it. It's a good balance between bulk and protection. The case is very well made with everything lining up perfectly. Price is very reasonable too. My only criticism of this case is that it might be a little slippery.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I just ordered the Ballistic SG Maxx. They are bulky cases, but great quality. Only plan on using it at work so not really concerned about the extra bulk.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Skyerin:
Thanks all for the replies. Please keep throwing information at me.

As far as the ballistic is concerned, it looks to me like that case is roughly the same size as the armourdillos and just a bit too big for my hands unfortunately! But by far, it looks to be the strongest case.

Out of the spigen slim armour and the superleggara, (or any other cases of this size), which would you say is stronger?

What would be really useful is if there was an actual drop test done on these cases, not using an actual nexus 5 but something with the same weight & size where they could measure the actual impact on the phone to see how good the case is.

I may just bite the size bullet and get the ballistic, but I'd like to try and see if there is something smaller which could protect my phone just enough to get away with it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] freshlysqueezed:
I have the ballistic SG maxx case and I love it.

If you are looking for something slimmer with added corner protection you might like the ballistic jewel.

Theres also the ballistic Aspira, simillar to the speck candyshell, but with bigger corners for better drop protection.

Also, it seems speck is going to release a Candyshell soon, which seems quite protective.

I am ordering the Tudia Wav Hybrid. The video sold me. Check out the drop test:

PLUS IT IS $9.99 72% off the regular price over at amazon!!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Skyerin:
Ballistic SG Maxx; Great case. It fits the toughness bill. But the usable-ness for people with smaller hands suffers from it's size so unfortunately, this won't suit.

Ballistic Jewel; That thing looks fragile as hell. I could be wrong but it looks really really weak.

Ballistic Aspira; Not bad at all actually. It looks like it could take a drop or two maybe.

Tudia Wav; Wow. That's not a bad case at all. I like the grooves idea on the back of the case. That drop test reminds me of when I got the trident aegis for my xperia play and almost turned it into a basketball. How I wish Trident would make a cyclops case for this phone...

[Case] Generic Ultra Thin Matte Faux Carbon Fiber TPU Case http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2586051; this case actually looks pretty strong and decent. The guy who bought it had only nice things to say about it.

Spigen Slim Armor; One recommendation on this but not much else. I still kind of really think this case is pretty cool but maybe because of the big thing about "shock protection" and "elite protection" plastered all over the description on spigen's website. It does take the award of nicest looking case though.

As far as I can see, the above are the cases which fit toughness yet usable enough. I probably missed a few off like the Ringkes and cruzerlites but nobody has mentioned them so far. Really, out of all of these, I have no idea what to pick! Wouldn't it be great if there was a standard measure of how tough a case was so that you could easily make a comparison? :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
The ballistic jewel is flexible tpu, so not fragile at all. I understand the mistake, though, as it looked like hard plastic to me before I got my hands on it.

The Tudia Wave is pure garbage. I suppose it protects as well as any other tpu case, but it feels cheap, the buttons are unresponsive, and there are rough ridges left over from the injection molding process.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Skyerin:
Haha my bad!

Its down to a choice of the jewel, aspira or spigen slim armor for me really. They all look like great cases with great reviews. Would I be right in saying those 3 cases are pretty evenly matched in toughness terms and its a choice of taste and feel rather than strength or have I got that pretty wrong?

Thanks for all your help by the way people. I really appreciate it, especially on a topic I know nothing about so I ask many stupid questions or make stupid assumptions.

more questions

Hello, I don't mean to steal the thread or anything, so please tell me if I should go away. I am, however, looking for advice on a case for my phone and I thought maybe posting on here would work since the OP seems to have found a case he is happy with (glad to see you found a case to make you happy!) and i am interested in some of the cases that were mentioned, so here goes.

I too am looking for a case for my Nexus 5, I take extremely good care of my phones (I love my electronics, I keep all of my electronics in great shape, I still have my original Galaxy S in perfect condition!) I do like to have a case on my phones to ensure that I won't screw anything up, since I take really good care of my stuff I'm not looking for anything terribly tough, just something to protect from scuff marks, keep the screen off the table and camera lens safe.

I noticed that the OP went with the Tudia Wav, this is a case I've been looking at for some time as well. My only concerns with it are: 1) how tactile are the power and volume keys? The TPU case I had on my SII wasn't very tactile and I hated it. 2) will it work with wireless charging? I remember reading that it would, but double checking never hurts.

I am also considering the caseology slim fit http://www.amazon.com/Caseology-Fin...35&sr=1-1&keywords=nexus+5+caseology+slim+fit I think that this case will be my go to if I can't get feedback on other cases.

Finally, I saw the acase superlegera on amazon and I am somewhat interested in that one given that it is compatible with wireless charging and that the buttons are fairly tactile. Can someone comment on this case?

Sorry for the lengthy post, I'm a verbose guy. Anyways, thanks a ton for the feedback, hope to hear from you guys soon. :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Skyerin:
Hey and no problem; thread steal all you like! And I haven't found a case yet but I am down to 3 options which I like, yet can't decide between (ballistic jewel, ballistic aspira, spigen slim armor).

As far as the Tudia is concerned, I've been told above that its not made to a very high standard and all so I'm avoiding that.

Wireless charging; AFAIK (and I could really be wrong with this) if the case isn't too bulky, wireless charging will work fine. Such as with the cruzerlites, spigens and even the armourdillos. So you should be fine with the cases you're looking at.

My advice; If you're in the US, have a look at the ballistic jewel. I know you said you didn't need anything too tough but better safe than sorry, seeing as this case has very little bulk anyway. This would be my case of choice if I could get it in the UK easily enough but because of delivery times not suiting the arrival of my N5 (paranoid), I'm settling on a slim armor for now and going to then start my month wait for the jewel.

Unless of course, somebody mentions an absolutely super awesome case that makes me forget both of these cases altogether.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] angied:
Which cases did you all end up with? I'm very paranoid, so I want a protective case, BUT I really want the least bulky one, and one that keeps the shape of the phone. I realize I can't have it all, I just want to get as close as possible.

I hope you're happy with whatever cases you got!
