Making a call put a overlay like if the phone is blocked and if i hang it fc.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rohanchrome:
Yeah. I didn't have this in the previous build. Just this one and the previous one I guess. A reboot fixes it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ChampMEon:
Its CM sources related. I got this in Official too. Very irritating.

All that works is enabling end call with power button to end calls.

Yeah. You could end calls from the status bar.

In Call echo problem

hi [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION],

I am having Call echo problem (Other person hear's his own voice in echo when talking to me,All of them :( ). Any Solution,trick,fix i can try ??:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
As you can read on first post call quality is random so you can suffer echo or any other problem related to it. If there was a proper fix i would have already implemented it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Spartan199:
Try the Chinese modem nc6. I tested the call quality between the Russian modem and Chinese one and found the Russian one had echo and the Chinese one didn't. Try it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] adcool2007:
Currently using the Chinese one and still the echo problem persists.

Before using Chinese I had a lot of call distortion buts that's gone now... Only other side has the echo problem..... Any more suggestions??

I know about the random call quality.. But was curious to ask as people were not reporting echo related problems (only distortion related ) and I thought I missed a step or something...

Will do a full wipe and flash your latest build... BTW rom is smooth as butter... ?

Random reboot, when listening to music through poweramp and texting. Happened around 5 times today. I'll try to get a logcat.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] RozenTensai:
Using 0905 and Apollo seems to dislike my music, it keeps freezing and skipping tracks. However, Google Music does not fail.

Audio on the system speaker seems a bit on the louder side, which distorts almost any ringtone/notification.

I installed the viper4android fx and it sounded better.

Everything else works fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Nalmaus:
Here i have the same problem, did u try to use another player?, now i'm going to try with apollo and see if appears again.

2. The weather widget to be multi locations.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] nirfun:

I'm with 20140905 and still have Bluetooth issues with my headset
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rohanchrome:
I didn't try Apollo. Tried with Vanilla player. Same thing, although it crashed in the middle of the song. I wasn't even using the phone. Couldn't get the logcat :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ophirb:
I'm also on the same build.

It is not perfect but for now i can make a call and talk using BT headset. The sound quality is not perfect but it is enough for conversation.

BT streaming works fine i can hear music and it is in good quality.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ophirb:
So the BT headset worked for a while but when the first incoming call came it showed the same behavior as in other cm aosp roms and no voice.

From that point it stopped working.

---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ----------

After reboot BT headset worked again until first incoming call.

Maybe this will help understanding the problem.

Issues

I'm facing below issues on new build i.e. 10th SEP 2014

When connected to headset, the headset icon doesn't show up, and it stops responding after a while on call, I need to reconnect the same to hear the other party.

Random freezes but that is acceptable as a bounce clears it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Sylite:
This also happens to other AOSP ROMs if I'm not mistaken, I just disable Phone Audio from the Bluetooth device and pick up the phone as usual if there's a call but yeah, it's a hassle. I hope the solution can be found soon!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] james0908:
Thanks to Alberto96 for all the hard work he has put into making this. Coming from CM11 nightly I have noticed a performance increase.

A few questions/problems (Apologies if I am supposed to post in the discussion thread)

1) After I flashed the new 0910 build, the in call UI acts strangely. When i call someone or receive a call I cannnot use the in call UI. Shows up as the lock screen and if I try to do anything, it just tells me that the com.android.incallUI has crashed or something like that. However, when I flash back to 0905, everything is working again. I noticed that previous people had the same problem a few pages back with 0905 but I seem to be fine on that version.

2) Someone posted a while back of speaker volume. I have indeed noticed a reduction in the overall volume of the external rear speaker volume even when maxed out in settings. I honestly cant remember if this was the same when I was still on the CM nightlies, but it is definitely softer in volume compared to stock TouchWiz. Alberto96 was kind enough to provide a fix but I am not that clued up with Android and Linux. Could someone please give me detailed instructions on how to implement this fix. Thanks!

3) I am not sure if this next issue is hardware or software related but in comparison to the stock ROM, I have noticed that it takes significantly longer to charge my cellphone. The battery itself is relatively new at only 3 months old and I am indeed using the Original Samsung Charger and cable that came with my phone. I have uninstalled all battery related apps and it hasnt made any difference, Is it just me or someone experiencing the same issue.

4) This is probably the most important question: Would flashing backwards cause any issues at all? Mostly people flash forwards like from 0905 build to 0910 build but would it cause a softbrick/hardbrick if I flashed backwards from 0910 back to 0905. This is taking into account that I wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache every time before I flash.

Thanks all especially Thanks to Alberto!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Tech.Nik:
1. I second that, I'm facing the same though a reboot fixed it and didn't experience it again. (Hope not to)

2. Yes you can fix the sound, just use root browser and go to >system>etc>mixer_paths.xml ..open it with RB Text Editor and scroll down to <path name = media-speaker> and default digital volume value is 112 you can modify it as per your choice, I did change it to 124. and reboot.

3. I'm not sure about battery issue, I'm using a battery reborn app to keep a track of the span.

4. Yes its safe to revert back to old nightly.Well yeah, you can do it. But the issue can sometimes be this - if changes are made to system apps, those changes may not play nice with the rest of your current setup. This is why you'd recommend a wipe in these cases.

Personally speaking, I used to go back to previous nightlies all the time when I used to run CM9 when changes in more recent ones used to give me the ****s. But I always did a wipe. Reason ? I found out the hard way this was a good idea.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ophirb:
Alberto you cracked the GPS problem and it works great as good as tw roms.

Now just the BT headset.

You are definitely a great developer and i thank you for the work.

I simply like your rom.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ChampMEon:
1. My opinion is that ever since we had the S-View Device specific commit that the call ui had this issue. Can we revert this maybe because I'm struggling with calls. I cant open the keyboard while in call etc, the call ui freezes or something.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] amigorox:
What is the file system of your sd card? Try formatting it into NTFS and also gently clean the SD card slot using an ear bud.

Like if it was of any help, double like if it was not :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
1) What filesystem are you using? vFAT (FAT32), exFAT and NTFS are supported here.

2) Is your sdcard clean? Have you tried with a format? If yes, then give me some logs. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] jamy_hallian:
I am sorry. the problem seems to be with my sd card. I will now clean and format my sd card and try again. what file system type would you recommend for 64gb micro sd. i9500
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
exFAT :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] jamy_hallian:
But right now my sd card was on exFAT.. (and i ran into some unknown problem obviously)

i really hope my sdcard isnt busted and it worked ok after formatting.. phew its a lot of work..

which one from ntfs and fat32?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
For 64GB and higher MicroSDs only exFAT is a good option.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] james0908:

Just flashed the ROM every thing working fine even the call quality is fine also but the talktime is bit low as compared to TWrom .for one hour it is consuming 18-20% battery .

Any suggestions what 2 do to fix the issue ? :confused:

i9500 sources for kitkat

[MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION]

Since we all know kitkat is going to come out for our i9500 devices, do you believe that a lot of the problems like the video and storage will be fixed once samsung releases its sources for i9500 kitkat? I mean, when the 4.3 sources came out did you have any use for it in cm 10.2? did it make cm 10.2 work any better? As far as i understand we are still using the 4.3 sources to make android 4.4 work.. or am i understanding things wrong? :/

thanks in advance! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] fbarcenas:
I don't think it makes a difference if the source is released or not. CM11 can't really use any of the TouchWiz code. Maybe just some core Android source for some specific device within the phone, like the camera, or bluetooth. But I doubt it would make much of a difference otherwise.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] revan1611:
Dunno, maybe. Maybe formating sd card or full wipe may help, or it may be related to new source code which Alberto is using now . Anyway for folks who experience storage problem but still want to experience CM this build should be good. Just add camera apk to system and apply sound fix and it's like jewel :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] pinktheater:
I use the same card for other 4.4 ROM based on CM11, so no. I don't think the sd card type or model has anything to do with the issue.

Besides it has been reported by many users not only here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] medoooooo:
You misunderstood me i was saying that maybe alberto's build has some issues with some type of sd cards and i meant cm not 4.4 kk if you remember anderilux's kernel persus had some issues with some types of sd cards so maybe its the same thing with cm search persus kernal thread for more info

first download USB OTG helper from the store and approve root access the press mount if the app force closes don't worry

Then use any file manager with root access your usb drive will be mounted under /storage/USBDrive/sda1
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] revan1611:
Yes I remember, sorry but I'm little for help here as I'm still noob in all this. Talking about perseus I think Alberto needs to look on storage code written in perseus or use his kernel from first build which I posted.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] stassano:
Hi Alberto96, thanks for such a great rom! I was already getting depressed about the lack of a decent CM rom for the i9500.

Here is some feedback from me:

- GPS for me works very accurately... I am using fasterfix to change the ntp server to China (because I live here) and I use gps status pro to get agps data.

- Location is always OFF on notification drawer... even if it is ON... it shows OFF.

- Camera is indeed bugged, it starts too slow, it takes bad pics, focal fixes that partially... but it still is a slow cam and has less quality compared to the Samsung one.

- Sound is fine for me but I run AdAway and Viper4Android HIFI... so that might have fixed it for me without my knowledge.

That's it for me actually I think...

Awesome rom! I am using it as daily driver now :)
