After a year of using official firmware I can say this is what I want from a phone. This firmware is very responsive. It's a pitty Samsung is not releasing this kind of firmware for our phones.

I'm also getting random reboots with beta 4. Which version would you recommend for daily use?

Thanks!!!

Android Wear and Bluetooth

Hello,

I have some troubles with my Android Wear LG G wacth. It just randomly disconnects and it is a pain in the *ss

to connect it again. Sometimes only reboot phone / watch is the only solution.

Is it just me or?

Does anybody with this rom use the material design trick with the google now launcher? (Editing the build.prop REL > L) I keep getting boot loops with this ROM. I've tried other roms and the trick will work there.

Guys am I the only one getting random reboots here and there? I'm getting 2 or 3 reboots per day. Maybe I need to use another modem, can anybody not experiencing reboots tell me which modem you use? Thanks.

ROM is good but spending a lot of battery
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] p1eter:
Hardly any reboots for me, many maybe one every three weeks. I'm on beta 2 using NC1 modem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Monrad:
Great news. I installed another CM firmware and I was still having reboot issues. I decided to give this rom another try, but this time I changed my modem and now it seems to be very stable!!! I installed baseband XXUEMJ8. Battery is great.

Thanks for the feedback.

4.6 beta 5 changelog

4.6 BETA 5 - Release Playful Pitaya*

This week, PA team members have worked overtime to unravel the previously encountered DSB issues. The product is back to the usual stability, with a bunch of tweaks all around, but still deserving the beta tag.

Most of the work was put into hardening DSB, but an additional configuration option was also added as an experiment mainly for those interested in increased speed. This is more of a "power user" setting as it can have an influence on the battery life - you have been warned - and is not guaranteed to stay around for later releases. To mess around with the setting, just run _adb shell su -c 'settings put system experimental_dsb_frequency 2'_ on your computer, replacing the 2 with any other number of choice. If you find frequencies that seem to work fine for you and still provide solid battery life, feel free to share them.

*Quick pointers for the setting:*

- The default value for a newly set up device is 2.

- Lower numbers mean slower, higher numbers mean faster.

- You probably don't want to go into negative numbers. It's the ones that are lower than 0.

- The counter caps out at 20. That is CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.

- Going above the maximum of 20 is not going to change anything... Trust us... Just don't try it at home.

*Changes new in this release:*

- Provide a better flow for bar transitions and DSB

- Add the _experimental_dsb_frequency_ setting (for now)

- Include a pair of themeability changes

- Tweak OPO device-specific code

Can anyone explain me what happened here? I guess the phone rebooted but why the sudden collapse. Other than the battery issues, I have no problems with the rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Sitwano:
I've had similar problems. When the phone reboots the battery just drops very close to zero without any evidence of heating. Makes me wonder how the phone just loses all that charge.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rgshah3:
Swollen batteries! Time to change them!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Sitwano:
But this never happens when I'm using touch wiz.. :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rgshah3:
I have no idea about that, but it's surely a swollen battery! This is my third battery in 17 months
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Gboss01:
It's easy to test if the battery is swollen and eliminate the battery as the culprit. Just lie it flat and try spin it, if it spins freely then there's some swelling.

A normal non-swollen battery will spin and stop quick. Be sure to test both sides.

That said my battery wasn't swollen but I did notice I would get quick drops in battery level ie. my phone would go from 100% to 85% sometimes in as little as 30min with me not even using the device. The same would occur when the battery was below 20% it will just race down to 0% also with hardly any use. Battery drain between 85% to 20% was fine though.

I decided to buy a new battery and it's a made world of difference! Battery drain is now consistent and I'm much happier.

If you looking check out takealot.co.za and search for samsung s4 battery kit (R329) - it comes with a battery and charging "housing" and it was cheaper than a original battery from vodacom (R399) - delivery is free :). The kit is a Samsung Original kit.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Gboss01:
This is my battery as of this morning

Moderate use - BBM, Whatsapp, a few calls and a lot of photo's yesterday.

Great battery life in my opinion.

EDIT: This is with PA beta5 :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Sitwano:
How old is your battery? Mine is about a year and a half old. So you don't get random drops in battery charge anymore?

I did the spin test and my battery was reasonably flat. Spun it with little force and the battery would spin 4 to 6 times before stopping. Examined it and it was pretty flat.

I also got a battery drop in Samsung, I just noticed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Gboss01:
My original battery is about 18 months old too and when I use it I get fast drops in battery level. I wouldn't say the drops are random as it always occurs between 100 to 85% and from 20 to 0%.

My new battery is a week or so old now and I don't have this problem with my new battery. Im hoping as this new battery "beds" in the life will get even better.

I think my old battery is just deteriorating - I still have it as it makes a good spare to just swop out in an emergency.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rgshah3:
Its surely a damaged battery! Get a new one and try it out
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] DanialYaqub:

Hello guys!!! Sorry I've been away this long, I'm a student now so my free time went down drastically, and also my home computer was down (My build computer).

About PA Lollipop... Time is the key right now. A stable device tree to our device is yet to be released, so there is no possible way to build official PA until it's ready.

However, work is being done on the issue, mostly by Alberto. After most bugs will be gone, we could update our own device tree, and make PA available again.

I just don't have the time to build and maintain Unofficial builds ATM (I'm still running KK myself). Pleast, don't ask for ETAs... I don't have any.

But be sure I haven't forgot you!

3. Call Quality? Still the hissing sound?

Hi avneesh

1) Havent used the rom long enough, so cant comment on the battery part. Still after syncing and all stuffs, I have changed to "powersaver". Left with 79% with heavy usage for 2 hrs nw.

2) Took pic from cam and found the image to be of HQ. Changed to highest quality from settings first. Below is the sample pic for quality check and the image property for size.

3) Sound quality is good enough. There is no hissing sound or distortion. Have made and received 1 call. Other side confirmed on both cases that only a slight eco was there. My voice was clear and normal otherwise.

Its great and it works on any rom for I9500. By far the best kernel and at least wifh this we have kernel option where we can play around using stweaks. I9500 has no other good tweaking kernel option and its comparable to any best kernel on xda on any other rom. Perseus is also not totally compatible for i9500 & has issues. Maxfour is best kernel.

Which Kernel would you suggest to use?

Only issue is the home button on the i9500 doesn't work when long pressed. In other words multitasking cannot be accessed. Only fix I have for it is to turn on the onscreen buttons with adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" (without quotes) to your build.prop.

Could you suggest any kitkat 4.4 based roms with a stable camera, stable audio and voip calls and good battery life?

Have tried official cm, but its still too buggy. All Lollipop and newer roms are buggy without Kernel sources. Bad battery life too. Probably the broken Exynos big.LITTLE architecture. So Kit kat it is on this phone.
