What?! No quiet hours?! :p *joke

On a serious note. The NE to LTE hand-off didn't go so well, today. Had to toggle airplane mode to get it to kick in. Just a minor annoyance, but I wanted to report it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
I'm back at work today, where is really crappy service and definitely no LTE coverage.

Glad to say that using the "LTE/CDMA/EvDo" settings seems to be working great. Phone handed off to 3G when I entered the building, and then back to LTE as I left with no issue. Hopefully we have a winner here!

(Still running 2/15 version).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
You are the bomb dude.. pumping out updates like crazy!

Sent from the Zombified Hyperdrive
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
Not to beat a dead horse, but Verizon phones generally display "3G" when on their CDMA (non-LTE) network. Phones used to properly display "1XEV" to denote this network, but apparently they changed because too many people were upset that their phone wasn't "a 3G phone". This was a few years ago, prior to LTE, but the change has stuck.

Anyone in this thread referring to "3G" is simply referring to Verizon's "1XEV" technology.

(I'm not an expert on this, just sharing my understanding. If you disagree with this, it's cool, just trying to help clarify).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Thanks for the update! As on the previous build, the phone is much happier not set to global. Haven' had a chance to try a phone call yet, but no other problems noted so far.

BTW - I took a look in the OP, but didn't see it. Is the Optimized Dalvik included in these builds, or should we be flashing it otherwise?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
When I swipe into quick settings and tap on the wifi Tile it opens up wifi settings. Is there a way to make it just toggle wifi on and off? The same for location and mobile data would be great too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
There is a setting in GravityBox to swap the functions for tap vs hold. I thought this was strange too, but I guess that's how they normally work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
Doing a "long press" should do what you're asking...unless that's just a feature of gravity box that I've become used to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Would it be possible for you to make an optional AOSP browser zip? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
I think the AOSP browser is available on the Play Store. It's called "Android Browser."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
That has some graphical bugs on my phone for some reason, I don't know why.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
What's the appeal of the aosp browser? Does it have flash support or something? It was my understanding the browser hadn't been updated since Google switched to Chrome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
It's like chrome but it works and it is blazing fast. Flash is pointless on mobile and I never use it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
I found Chrome to be much slower with some graphical issues on 4.3 and below ROMs. On KK, Chrome is pretty flawless, and I love that it syncs with the desktop version, so I use that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tomf80:
Buzzing Sound

I flashed yesterday and there is an update already! Will have to get to that one today.

One issue though, when playing music I get a buzzing sound on occasion, experienced this on two apps with different files. (I read the last few pages and the first few and didn't see this mentioned, sorry if it is a known issue.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Gotya thanks for clarifying. I always use boat browser love it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Is fast and it syncs bookmarks like chrome. Get AOSP browser installer in the play store. It downloads the latest AOSP browser apk and installs bookmarks sync.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Any chance the buzzing happens when you switch from WiFi to LTE (or vice versa)? If so, I've noticed that as well, but not just on this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeH PLAYA:
Flashed 2-15 last night. Checked this thread again immediately thereafter, and I see an update! Gonna have to flash yet again haha! #firstworldproblems :laugh:

You can also go to GravityBox > Statusbar tweaks > QuickSettings > Override default tile behaviour > put a checkmark on wifi. This will reverse the setting, so when you click on wifi in the dropdown menu it'll connect. Long press will take you to the menu. :good:

OP - that DarkUI flashable zip, if I flash that, then there is no need for me to enable the Solid black background setting in GravityBox?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
deleted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tomf80:
No, I had wifi turned off during it for all but one time. The other time was since I posted, when it should be on wifi, though the wifi may have disconnected, and was during a notification (from Plume if it matters) rather than any music that was playing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
The LTE/CDMA/EvDo definitely worked better for me. It was able to handoff to various towers and 3g coverage on my drive home. But when I got home I noticed I had the exact same issue that I had on two previous builds that text messages take like 7-8 minutes to be received. I can't duplicate the issue on any TW rom I've tried, but when I'm using this rom, it happens every time I'm at my house. Like just some odd issue going on with the connection and the towers near my house. I have no idea, totally baffling why I see this issue. I restored back to a stock MK2 deodexed rom, and I can't duplicate the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Thank god for sanity... I let the issue die because all of the phones do actually display "3G" even though its not 3G and I didn't want to argue about it. 1XEV is exactly what I was trying to remember.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dust.:
Is anyone having issues with navigation via Google Maps? I can get a gps lock no problem but the compass won't adjust and I can't get real time updates...

Edit: What I mean by that is that the gps will maintain it's lock as I'm driving, but won't update the steps (like when I make turns).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
So after installing this on my father's phone, he came into work this morning and said, "wow, this thing is fast." It really is a noticeable improvement over TW, and even AOSP. :good: :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ioos:
I'm wondering this too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Included, though I doubt it would do any harm to you guys if u flashed it again. I've done it without anything bad happening
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WishinItWas:
I installed the AOSP browser from the market but it had not been updated for 4.4 and has no incognito mode.

I was able to find a nodded version that had the feature working through a Google search though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Very quiet in here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] timeToy:
That's good, it mean people are not having issues with it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
That's how you know when the ROM has reached that point where it's running darn good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dust.:
I posted earlier today about my Google Maps being wonky but I didn't get any response. I'll post it again:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
I don't recall if I've used nav since I've been running these ROMs. I'll give it a go, on my way home, in a little while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Okay I don't know what the hell you guys did on this latest build but it's always been my experience that I get slightly less reception on AOSP than TW. Yet now I'm getting LTE in places I never had before. So awesome :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Just wait til you get your next Vzw bill. :thumbup: :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Just used Waze to take me home from work. It gave me turn by turn, with street names, all the way. I will use Google Maps when I go to work, in the morning, but I don't expect it to be any different, since Google owns Waze.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dstreng:
Since this has the tw framework, can we install the tw 4.4.2 camera from the leak?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vtx67:
Broken SIP

Even though its not noise I was hoping the "Enabled in call noise suppression for clearer outbound voice" mentioned in the change log for the 021814 build would fix outgoing SIP. Unfortunately its still broken as mentioned above on previous builds. Its working on CM11 M3 (with exception to incoming bluetooth SIP calls). Hopeful its fixed in one of the official S4 Samsung/Google Edition roms.. :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Could be kernel related. What's your setup mate? I was hoping the change last night fixed your issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drewski83:
On 2.16.14 build I couldn't send texts, get LTE to save my life. Used all correct settings. Could receive texts but not all of them. Had to revert back to TW rom. Loved speed and everything else about this rom. Would love to get true LTE speeds and send texts/mms to work and this would be my daily.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vtx67:
Not sure what you mean by setup? After a full wipe and install of yours or the ECHOE ROM I go straight to setting up SIP through the native dialer and do a test. Consistently the same results with outgoing voice being broken up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
Sorry you're stuck with locked bootloader, perhaps you can still buy an MDK S4 online somewhere and then you're welcome to come back we will be glad to help you! Good luck!

]Question/humble request to the developer for future releases.

I noticed I can't take a screen shot by holding power+home buttons at once anymore is that something that can be added for future releases or no? I know I can still take screen shots by tapping on the toggle or adding it to the power menu but its not the same and it has a very slow response.

Another thing is I don't see a mobile hotspot toggle here, does anyone know if I can add it somehow?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Is Adfree not working for you?

On a side note. As fate would have it, today is my four year anniversary on XDA, and this is my 1000th post. Yay, me. :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Press volume down and power button simultaneously to take screen shots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dust.:
Thanks for the help/info. In that case, any ideas as to how I can fix my issue without having to end up doing a clean install?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
I remember my big 1000 :)

I also remember hitting 100 thanks! I was so happy hahaha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
I would try reinstalling maps, and maybe install GPS fix as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
Lol... Thanks...I still like the power+home buttons better...is there a way to change that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
There's an option in gravity box to add screen shot button to power menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Love this ROM, still testing it out. So far flying colors ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
I know that....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Just giving another option for those who may not have known that :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ahoslc:
So I consider myself very proficient in ROM flashing but this one has me. Everytime I install this ROM I can't make calls. I am clean fleshing every time from twrp 2.6.3.1. When I go to make call screen goes black for 45 seconds then dialer pulls up but call is not going through. Is it possible flashing this ROM over a week ago did something to my Sim? Anyone have any suggestions I am open to trying anything to get this going.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JCBiznatch:
You and me both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Yea I said a few pages ago I've had issues on multiple builds receiving texts. They are usually 7-8 minutes delayed, and sometimes don't come in at all. Sending seems OK for the most part, but can still be delayed a few minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
I haven't had an issue sending or receiving (no delays or anything)

Do you use hangouts by chance? Or another 3rd party sms app? I Had the issue with hangouts for a little while, it wasn't every text though. The notification wouldn't come through and it wouldn't show up in hangouts but the message would be in the stock sms app. I cleared data from both, disabled the stock app and haven't had an issue since. Something to try maybe

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nicholi2789:
So as a Verizon user, I need to flash the MK2 baseband before flashing this rom? I'm on the ME7 baseband which I've had the most luck with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
I normally use Verizon Messages. When this problem started I assumed it was that so I tried 8sms hangouts and also removed everything and used just stock. I had the same issue on all of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jscarano:
+1 Im still on MDK here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
Yes, as the OP states, you must flash the MK2 modem before hand... I was previously on ME7, and MK2 will show less bars, but I'm getting the same service and speed. It's been great so far!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reebz:
The only problem I seem to be having is random reboots, but only in my car. I think it has something to do with bluetooth. I'd be driving and my phone would connect normally to bluetooth. After a while, I'd see that my phone disconnected and then I'd feel a vibration. I'd look at the phone and it would be rebooting. This evening, I felt the reboot vibration and I looked at it and saw, "Unfortunately, bluetooth share has stopped working", and then, reboot. Once rebooted, everything would start up fine. Anyone else have issues with bluetooth?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Next time it happens, immediately go to the KTweaker app and go to Extras; from there, go to the bottom, and select Get last_kmsg. Save that file somewhere, and make sure the OP here can get it.. might have some debug info that could be usable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nicholi2789:
So are you running this rom on the MDK baseband?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Bluetooth has been flawless for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Almost like someone turned quite hours on! Muhahhaa ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reebz:
Can I get the kmsg now? It's been probably 45 minutes since it happened last.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jscarano:
I was a couple days ago but not right now. I had gps and lte issues and went back to Hyperdrive 13.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
I am running it on MDK baseband with no problems at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
There should be no harm in trying, just no promise it will have it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
Just to add my 2¢ on this, I use Hangouts for SMS and haven't had any issues thus far...though to be honest I don't do a whole lot of SMS messaging, primarily it's actual Google Hangouts messaging. None the less though, I have sent and received several SMS and MMS without any problems since I installed this ROM on Saturday.

(Still on 2/15 build).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reebz:
I just installed and set up latest update so I'll wait until tomorrow and see how it behaves on drive to work. However, I'm getting the phone F/C on boot and I cannot find the setupwizard.apk in system/app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Just go flash the MK2 modem from general discussion and if you have problems flash back to the MDK one. I haven't had any issues with the MK2 modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Demiurge7:
So, weird thing today. Had the GPS on for a while towards the end of the day. My battery was around 20% at the end. I put my phone in my pocket - pulled it out a bit later, and it was off. Tried to turn it on - only got the still-battery, and that is all. I know that this thing doesnt charge when the phone is off, and I was away from a decent charger. I had a minute and got in the car, plugged it into the charger, and all I would get is a boot loop of sorts - still-battery would pop up, then it would restart to the still battery. I booted into recovery, knowing that it does not charge while the phone is off. Recovery was showing 100% battery, which is impossible. I didnt have time to keep it there, but figured I had a full backup battery at the house. Get home, cannot get it to do anything but this bootloop. New full battery does not help, and now it will not boot into recovery. I get the blue letters at the top, but then it just vibrates and restarts. I can only get it to boot in Odin.

I know its not bricked, as I can odin back to stock and start over. But I wasnt expecting this, and would have liked to backup some stuff before such an endeavor. Any ideas? I was using it normally, and dont even thing the battery was dead at that point (I should have had around 20%) I have tried everything - removing the battery after its plugged in, various button combinations. Cant get it to do anything but bootloop and odin.

Any help would be much appreciated. Been running this for a few days now and was super duper excited about how awesome it runs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
check your battery for any form of swelling ASAP, this sounds like the famous samsung battery crisis issue that rocked all the I9505's

also, you can charge in download mode/recovery

all variants are unable to charge with the phone off on a pre 4.4.2 bootloader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Is that a sword and tambourine in your picture or am I just drunk?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Demiurge7:
Good call - the battery that was in it when this happened seems fine - not bulging or misshapen in any way. I also did not notice heat ever being an issue, and had it near me in my pocket before this happened today (I probably would have noticed a severe heat spike).

Also, I put in a full stock backup battery of mine now, and the result is still the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Can you tell me a little bit about your kernel setup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Demiurge7:
The only thing I adjusted - which was shortly after I installed this rom, was change the gov to ktoonservative, upped the OC to 1944 and UC to 194 (or whatever the nearest interval is). That is all I changed, and it was fine for at least a day or two on this setup. Before this, it was exactly the same oc and uc, but kept the intellidemand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
extremely odd, you flashed no extras?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Demiurge7:
No, I definitely did not flash any extras you provided. I did flash a roboto condensed zip I use to change the system font. But its real simple, and one I have been using for many months on many roms without harm. This issue is the first time this has happened to me, and I have probably flashed everything under the sun.

I am DL'ing the no-wipe tar. Thanks for responding - I figured I should mention the issue either way. Could be isolated, could be random, could be physical... I guess I wont know until I flash back to stock. Ill PM you how that goes to stop bugging up the thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
yeah its very hard to debug without a log, and in this case it's impossible to get one

your phone might be due for a odin to stock anyway, I do one every 3-4 months to just clean up all the partitions :)

I also factory reset in stock recovery. there is nothing i did to this ROM that would cause this, and the fact that you claim you can't get into recovery tells me this is a deeper issue then a ROM, a ROM can't really do what your describing, not mine anyway
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Demiurge7:
I have as well from time to time, but perhaps not often enough.

As my instincts were telling me this was bad, this seems to be the case. I am basically getting the same exact issue after taking her back to stock with Odin. Even tried the pre-date kernel and mdk kernel separately. Boot up shows the Samsung S4 screen now - but then the same, still battery icon and a constant loop. Only thing I can do is get into Odin. I am guessing my battery somehow fried a connection, as when I unplug the phone (even with a full battery in it) it just shuts off as though there is no battery. It will not even attempt to turn on when the phone is not plugged in, but with a full battery inside. WTH

At least Odin says Official... maybe I can convince Verizon to take it back. I think I bought this thing on the release date though - may be too late. And I sure as heck am not going the SS route either way.

This is not the roms fault, obviously. Just was looking for some help or to see if anyone else had this happen. Thanks for your time on this Danvdh

EDIT: I should also mention that I never drop this thing. It has a Spigen Neo-hybrid two-part case, and a glass screen protector. If you take these off, the thing looks like the day I bought it. Inside, the 4 part battery terminal is pristine, as well as all other pieces. I tried cleaning it up a bit just incase, but no luck so far. So sad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
This is the most bizarre thing I've heard, just wow

sounds like a faulty flex cable inside the unit connecting the battery to the mainboard

this would explain why it would just die in your pocket, wont turn on or do anything without USB power and won't boot stock or any ROM for that matter, (cannot boot a operating system without a battery)

loose connection, lets hope :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
I assume that the reason it won't charge when off is that the bootloader is looking for a config file that is wrong or not there. Is there a way to trick it with an mdk config that won't break charging when booted?

And for demiurge... do you have a way to charge the first battery outside the phone? Have a buddy with an s4 that can test? I don't think you will get anywhere, but it's worth a shot to not lose an mdk phone.

I need to read up on charging...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Gotta say, this rom is the first to really impress me in terms of idle battery..

I took the Feb-18 release for its first test drive this morning. Was on a Network Extender and WiFi at home. Once I away from the house I could not get a data connection. I tried toggling airplane mode with no luck. LTE-VZ Internet was selected along with CDMA+LTE/EVDO

Ultimately I had to reboot the phone and reselect LTE- Vz Internet. No change was needed for mobile network setting which stayed at CDMA+LTE/EVDO. Now I have LTE. Hopefully LTE will stick and handle the hands off properly.

If I have to go back to my NANDROID TW ROM (Beans7) do I need to ODIN first or can I restore directly over this ROM?
