Hi everyone,

I've been very much enjoying this version of CM11 since the official one has the random SOD issue. But I've been having a couple issues which I think are serious, but not severe (i.e. the phone is working fine, but there are a couple issues).

Basically I have not been able to get stable LTE service since installing this ROM. LTE worked perfectly fine on the official CM11, and on the OTA 24A update when I updated it. However, once installing this version, stable LTE service is almost impossible to obtain.

On a reboot, it'll either lock onto 3G or 1xRTT (about 50% chance of each). Going into the diagnostic menu (*#*#4636#*#*) turning off radio, and turning it back on will immediately lock LTE. Anywhere from 5min to 1h later, it will drop down to 3G again and stay there. In no case will it go from 3G to LTE, even in very strong LTE areas.

So I went and started experimenting. Changing the cellular band from Automatic to USA seemed to give excellent LTE coverage, but you lose cellular voice connectivity, so thats not a viable option. Changing it back to Automatic restored the original behavior.

I also played around with the various PRL settings, but they did not seem to affect connectivity (unless I chose a non CDMA or LTE option, obviously).

Without doing any specific debugging, it almost seems as if something is crashing the LTE radio stack (most likely the OS side of things) and its falling back on 3G. Toggling Airplane mode or connectivity in the quick tile menu doesn't bring LTE back, but turning off and on the radio in the diagnostic menu does. If there is a way to test, pull logs, and see if this (or something related) is the case, I would be more than willing to do it. In addition, it seems like battery drain is noticeably higher than on the previous version I was on, however, after thinking about it, it might have to do with falling down to 3G instead of always being on LTE.

For reference, I'm in the San Fernando Valley (greater Los Angeles Area) and on Verizon (obviously).

Everything else on the phone is extremely stable. There are no performance issues and no issues at all with WiFi, bluetooth, etc. Thanks for all the work on this!

UPDATE:

I can get incoming texts but cannot send them. It has to be radio at this point. Ugh.
[Verizon LG G2] Unn113:
I use mine VS980 along with Polish T-Mobile sim, and I have everything working.

From G2.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Perhaps you could be more specific about exactly HOW you got it to work?

VZW G2 (VS980)
[Verizon LG G2] Unn113:
Of course I can, just bought phone, cut my old sim to microsim, and put it to my phone. Sms, mms, calls workfine. LTE doesn't, cuz in here we have different frequences than You guys in US.

From G2.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Does our kernel support fast charge and if so how does one enable it?
[Verizon LG G2] HotShotAzn:
What process did you use? Did you just flash XDABBEB's Bootstack then the ROM? Or did you use the one at the beginning of the thread?
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
Have you tried XDABBEBS rom to see if it's rom related?
[Verizon LG G2] HotShotAzn:
I did and I got the occasional text here and there. Its harder to tell because its all VZW and even with custom APNs, I didn't have real data.

Pretty sure 24A is a no go for me. I flashed back to 12B then the appropriate CM11 nightly and it worked.
[Verizon LG G2] Unn113:
I bought phone with CM11 installed, but it was 12A nightlies, so I flashed XDABEBB's 24A bootstack and rom, then TWRP and CM11 from here.

From G2.
[Verizon LG G2] HotShotAzn:
Interesting.

So you flashed both the Bootstack and ROM, then went back into TWRP and flashed this specific CM11 (from the first post)?

I would love if it someone with TMobile USA would give this a shot. It could be my phone or my process as I did the exact same thing you did.
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
I would use the LG flash tool and go back to 11a then root it, flash the 24a boot stack and then flash XDABBEB's ROM. Get that up and running and let it settle down. Then wipe and flash this.
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Only Dorimanx kernel supports fast charge which means stock based ROMs or AOSP Vanir build 6/11/14
[Verizon LG G2] marleyinoc:
yep and that's why the app comes in handy LOL.

I guess I was just chiming in so JC would know it's fast and since I have an account I'm happy if he keeps using it!

I appreciate everyone's work but often files are hosted on servers that drag--that hasn't been the case with mega.

standard disclaimer: This isn't meant to be any sort of counter point to anything or anyone. :)
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
Perhaps JackpotClavin could enable it in the kernel?
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Not easy to get stock kernel to work with CM or AOSP.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
He's talking about the kernel he is currently building with I think

Sent from my VS980 4G
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
Exactly. I wasn't sure (and couldn't check from the jobsite) wheter or not the manufacturer's kernel source was available to port into the CM kernel code. Adding kernel modules, or baking them into the kernel, isn't always a difficult thing, though sometimes it IS a bear.

I had hopes last night of researching this a bit further, but work had kicked my ass and I crashed out hours before expected.

---------- Post added at 05:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 AM ----------

Here's one example of a kernel for our hardware (but not necessarily our devices) that has fast charge enable.

The commits on Feb 9th and their parent commits might be worth looking into, but I will be pulling in some OT today and can't look into it further.

Perhaps [MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION] can make something of it?
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
Anyone using profiles to control their ringer and notifications not having it ring even though the profile has the volume and ringer set to loud? I'm having that issue where one of my profiles has the volume and ringer on loud but when I receive phone calls it does not ring at all.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Did you have quiet hours set for that time as well, by any chance? Could override profiles.

VZW G2 (VS980)
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
No I don't but what I did was delete my profile and then recreated with exact same settings and now it rings. Odd but it did the trick. Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
Has anyone had issues in consistently receiving notifications? I know the apps have notifications, but they never make it to my status bar. Google Exchange Service crashes once in awhile... not sure if that is related.
[Verizon LG G2] zzandrewst:
I switched from Malladus and everything seems to be working except for sms messages, cannot send. I have tried several different SMS asps all with the same result. Any ideas?
[Verizon LG G2] techbeck:
Had issues where my phone would vibrate when I got a text message, but no sound even tho it was enabled. Rebooting fixed it but it randomly would break. Just applied the newest update so not sure if that fixed it or not. And I dont use profiles.
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
GPS is broke :/ last time I fixed it was by flashing stock based, getting a lock and flashing cm and wiped everything I'm pretty sure. Its frustrating every time I want aosp, something's gotta be broken. I'm gonna try to restore my stock nandroid, and restore everything but system from cm nandroid and then install the rom.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
You aren't supposed to wipe system going between stock and cm with a gps lock. I've made the same mistake snd have had to fight to get it to work right.
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
Thanks, I'll give it a try tomorrow. It just feels so wrong to not wipe system, especially when going from stock to cm, which are different.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
I could have sworn that the install script for cm wiped the system partition anyway, which would mean it shouldn't matter
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
Don't listen to that guy. You should always wipe system when switching roms.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
of course you should but apparently to keep gps lock, that is the best method. I haven't done it personally, but I've seen alot of comments about it. when I've gone between stock and cm roms, I've had a very hard time maintaining lock.typically I have to use a few gps apps to fix the config file and then fight with the phone for a time.if not wiping stock system is the answer then i would at least try it out.
[Verizon LG G2] russell5:
You are correct. I looked at the updater-script and it does format system.

So it doesnt matter if you do it yourself going to CM.

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "0", "/system");
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
Any ROM should have formatting /system in it's install script, not just CM. No self respecting dev or dev team would allow for such a mangled install as to try to overwrite two different system frameworks on the same device. Remnants of stock mixed with AOSP or vice versa would cause nothing but headaches, force closes, and bug reports that could be avoided by wiping /system in the first place.

I know that some ROMs do scan for user installed system apps, or whitelisted apps that you can select and put i a text file on the user /data partition. They'll automatically backup up those apps and restore them after the ROM flashes.
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
It does wipe system, gapps were gone after the install. Also, GPS still doesn't work. I can confirm GPS locks fine on stock, just not cm. I tried using faster GPS to write a custom GPS config file and GPS still doesn't work. Any ideas? GPS essentials says that network location is disabled. I have it on, along with google location reporting.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
I've used two apps, gps status and faster gps.between then I've deleted the old agps information and modified the gps.config file.eventually gps worked and I haven't had an issue with it since.
[Verizon LG G2] :
I've only ever noticed one gps/location issue. Weatherbug always starts the map view in the Cayman Islands. It shows my location pin where I actually am standing, within a few feet, but it starts me in the Caymans. I think it's just telling me that I should leave Ohio.
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
Well I've tried deleting the GPS.config file and letting faster GPS make a new one and still GPS doesn't work. I'm all outta ideas besides going back to an older version of this rom rom, unless anyone else has anything to offer.
[Verizon LG G2] psycho_asylum:
That's funny. I left Ohio once to Montana and ended up moving back after a few years.
[Verizon LG G2] marleyinoc:
I generally have to use maps to kick my GPS in. Otherwise it's really slow locking in in ingress.

Does anyone else's user switcher change to another account? It starts on my personal account on new install but eventually it switches to my work account, pic,etc. Doesn't really seem to effect anything but messaging etc uses my work icon and it's just weird.

I don't know what it is that causes it... Maybe I'm doing something while it's in pocket, etc is all I can think. Is there a way to switch users?
[Verizon LG G2] Stretch2m:
Under Settings > Accessibility > Services, I'm trying to enable the LastPass "allow fill in applications" feature but its toggle is disabled and is stuck on "off." (It's not just LastPass, because the TalkBack toggle is disabled too.) Is anyone else having this issue and is there a fix?
[Verizon LG G2] stillwaiting255:
I used to have problems with GPS but then I started replacing the gps.conf with the stock gps.conf after flashing CM, then reboot. I've never had any problems since I started doing this.
[Verizon LG G2] HotShotAzn:
Where would I find the stock gps.conf?
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
You'll have to load XDABBEB, Malladus, or Cloudyfa's stock based roms, copy the gps.conf to your "sd card" or "internal storage", reload CM roms, and then copy the file to replace the gps.conf of the CM (under \system\etc )
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Not xdabbeb, he uses a system image rather than a zip you can access.
[Verizon LG G2] HotShotAzn:
So....

1) Flash 24A Bootstack

2) Flash Malladux

3) Back up gps.conf

4) Flash 12A radio

5) Flash my back up of CM11

6) Replace gps.conf

Hrm. Lot of work to get GPS going. Are the GPS.conf phone specific?
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
FWIW, I ran a comparison between stock gps.conf and the one in the latest CM11, AND paranoid android's 6/14 build. They're all identical files.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

Malladus may have a different one, I didn't check. 24a matches PA and CM exactly.
[Verizon LG G2] marleyinoc:
just checked last pass and was able to toggle it to on in accessibility...

maybe check device administrators? I only have cm and android device manager enabled
[Verizon LG G2] stillwaiting255:
Good to know. It use to be using the settings for Europe as default but must have gotten updated.
[Verizon LG G2] Stretch2m:
Thanks for the idea. None of the device administrators had any effect, so I ended up wiping data and reinstalling and configuring everything. I checked the accessibility settings throughout the process and they remained enabled the whole time. So I have no idea what the problem could have been, but at least it's working.
[Verizon LG G2] marleyinoc:
Weird. Yeah, glad it's working. My only thing with filling in apps is that once it's done there is a considerable amount of it getting in way. I think you can turn certain apps off etc but I usually just turn off the fill option. Copy password is fairly easy when I do need it. Still, it's nicer to have things working as they should :)
[Verizon LG G2] Dollyllama:
OpenVPN

Has anyone had any issues with getting OpenVPN to work with this ROM? I have tried using the same config (imported) that I've used in several other roms and I the OpenVPN app is showing a successful connection in its status, however I am unable to load ANYTHING once I connect to my vpn service. I've tried several different config files that work on my nexus 7 and do not work here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Found the answer to my own question. It's a known CM11 bug. Here is the workaround if anyone else is having this issue.

[Verizon LG G2] marleyinoc:
Sorry to repeat same issue but I guess sometimes that's needed.

My personal gmail icon showed up in quick tiles as well as messaging etc. .

But now my work email account icon shows up.

It didn't happen immediately after adding work account. And generally on fresh installs as this is I wouldn't install work first anyway.

So profile account in quick tiles and messaging shows my work account and email icon...

Options on switching? On nexus devices the quick tiles profile/user switcher is easy to switch. There's no way to switch from the quick tile in this case. Anyone have ideas?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
I'm not 100% sure what the issue you seem to be having is. Is it that the only email in your quick tiles is gmail? Could you take a screenshot because I'm clueless

On the other hand, new build is up for everybody to flash. The only changes are in updated CM11 code to nightlies dated cm-11-20140619

Official changelog is here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/73040/CHANGES.txt

FYI, that root exploit used in towelroot was patched in the June 12th build (as well as this one, obviously), so I would advise everybody to update to the June 19th or the June 12th one if you haven't already, because it only takes one malicious app update to exploit the futex vulnerability
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
Ha! It would figure. I just compiled last night after syncing around 6pm EST. Wonder if there's anything worth updating for. Not like it matters. The flash addict in me is going to download and flash this newer build anyway :)
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
now you just need to sync 4.4.4 lol
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
4.4.4?
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
4.4.4 was pushed out to AOSP today. The differences from 4.4.3 -> 4.4.4 only happens to be like a total of 20 commits, and most of them are security fixes https://funkyandroid.com/aosp-KTU84M-KTU84P.html

The June 19th update is still 4.4.3
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
You ever look into fast charging for the kernel?
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
Damn. Doesn't seem worth bumping a minor revision number for.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:

not sure if anyone is following this one, but a new cm kernel has made an appearance.it's not for Verizon variant yet, but I have hope. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2782882
[Verizon LG G2] marleyinoc:
I don't think it's an issue with the ROM but I haven't found any friends to have same issue and so was hoping someone here had seen the issue and knew what I was doing wrong. This icon is from my work google apps domain account--it shows up in quick tiles and messaging like that's the main email. It's not... It's not a big deal but I have been trying to figure it out for awhile on my own without any luck. ;)

Here's the pics to help explain--just in case someone knows what the issue is I don't expect anyone to do any research or anything. My Google fu hasn't helped me on this one.

Thanks a ton for the updates! They're excellent.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Did you try clicking it and going into your phone profile to verify that the image isn't on your local profile or another account?
[Verizon LG G2] nhakobian:
I hate bumping, but I posted this several days ago and think it got buried in amongst other conversations. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have an idea on how to fix it? Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Can you confirm that 4G definitely works on stock or with other ROMs?
[Verizon LG G2] nhakobian:
Yes 4G definitely worked on stock. However, I did not run stock for an extended period of time when I switched to 24A, it got a 4G lock immediately after booting and for a couple hours after (thats about when I flashed this ROM).

Is it worth while trying to re-flash just the 24A bootstack/radios (such as the one in XDABBEB's thread)? However, in "About phone" it reports the 24A Baseband version "VS98024A-M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20046". Does this phone have two separate radios to flash like the Galaxy Nexus did (i.e. one for CDMA, one for LTE)?

I'm assuming that most people don't have this issue since I don't see any other posts about it. Something odd must be going on on my end then...

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
I certainly can't hurt to try and reflash the ROM
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
That sounded like what happened to me phone when I needed to get a new sim card. It sounds like (from reading your recent posts) you haven't been on stock recently. If you could go back to stock and make sure you can retain a 4G lock for a few hours throughout the day and in different locations it means that there's something wrong with my ROM and I'll look into why it's doing that for you
[Verizon LG G2] nhakobian:
So, I had a big long post about things I've tried. I decided that the reality was simpler than what I was writing.

In short the behavior of stock is the similar as with your build. Since I saw that I had 4G right after reboot from the initial upgrade to 24A, I thought everything was fine.

I have reflashed the ROM a couple times with new builds. I'm currently on the latest 4.4.2 build (the M7 build posted a couple weeks ago), but since I'm seeing the same behavior as on stock I doubt that this build is the specific cause.

Just to test I flashed XDABEEB's 24A bootstack in case my initial 24A upgrade got botched somehow. Things did not seem to change much with the exception that there is NO data on reboot until I toggle Airplane Mode (on stock or on JC's CM11 builds).

While I'm not discounting the possibility that there is something wrong with the SIM card, I find it unlikely since these issues started happening immediately after upgrading to 24A (using the method JC mentioned in the first post by downloading the 24A leak and installing it manually). Perhaps there had been something odd in the manual upgrade?

SInce no one else is reporting these types of issues, I have to assume there is something strange with my phone. I do appreciate any thoughts people might have at this point. I will also run it the way I have it now for a couple days and will report back. If whatever I did fixes the problem (unlikely at this point), I will report back in case anyone else has this issue in the future.

I do appreciate the time and effort JackpotClavin and others have put into this build. CM11 is leaps and bounds better than the stock ROM that LG has produced for this phone. I wish I was able to help out in a larger way, but most my time is currently spent looking for work.

Enabled it, got a few notifications, didn't quite understand what it added to the user experience, disabled it.
[Verizon LG G2] Hobbzey:
Went back and read your posts, and sounds exactly like the problem I had a few weeks ago on this ROM. I had tried to do a *228 roaming update to try and get my phone to use the newly switched on AWS radio bands ("XLTE") in my city and it hosed my sim card. Went to the local store, swapped sims for free in five minutes, and now my 4g connection is happy again. And I also learned from the rep to never do a *228 on an LTE phone...
[Verizon LG G2] nhakobian:
Hmm, very interesting. Sounding more and more like something messed up my sim card then. I didn't get around to going out today and see if it handed off between cell towers properly, but at least I'm getting steady 4G at home now. Its an improvement, so we'll see. I'll be going out tomorrow to do things and will keep a close eye on it.

Just out of curiosity, did the Verizon people give you any problem with having a custom ROM installed? If in the next couple days I keep having issues, I might just go by the Verizon store and get them to swap my SIM.

Edit: About using *228 to update roaming. I had done it about a month after getting the phone and didn't notice any difference. When I had flashed back to stock 24A yesterday to test, I tried it, and it came up with a message saying the SIM had all the necessary roaming info and never dialed the number. After switching back to JC's CM11 and messing with it for a while, I dialed it again and updated and didn't notice much difference. I guess its possible that the first update hosed something on the SIM which just recently started showing up, but I think its interesting that the stock ROM effectively blocks dialing the number altogether.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
I had a bad sim, exchanged without issue. You can even call tech support and have it mailed.
