A lot of my apps were force closing so I used the Fix System Permissions utility in ROM Manager, it said it would help with the force closing. Everything went fine until a few hours later Nova Launcher that I have installed started force closing, this is the first time that this happened.

Can someone tell me if this is ROM Manager's fault or could it just be a random bug in CM11?
[Sony Xperia L] vuk030:
What bugs had been fixed? Has battery backup been improved in the latest nightlies? Im back on stock and on stock battery last pretty long...atm its much longer then on custom CM rom... Are common bugs still there? (mic distortion,screen loading effect,battery problem.....)

Any positives in new nightlies?
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
I am also having high baterry consumption caused by google play services that won't let phone go to sleep on latest nightly. In past I've never had this trouble.. This is the only problem that I have. Everything works perfect for me including GPS.

"Screen loading" I see just once after fresh install than never.
[Sony Xperia L] vuk030:
Testing the 11-20140815 and the serious bugs are yet to be fixed.

Mic distortion problem is still there... (most annoying bug)

Battery drainage problem is still there...

Phone hanging is still there.... (almost rarely comes up)

Screen processing/loading after restart is still there...

But the performance is amazing...

Aside from bugs the positive thing about CM is kitkat features and great performances wise compared to stock rom.

But the stock rom got the much,much better quality camera compared to CM....

Varun i seen that you passed developing to another phone (your current phone) and i know that you said you will not be abandoning this project (only slowing it down)

Will this bugs be fixed in recent future?

Because nightlies are rolling almost every sec night and major bugs are still there. (mic disortion and battery hog are the ones who are making me switching the roms back and forward)

Hi.

Is CyanogenMod nightly zip flashable by custom recovery?

I mean without pre-flashing anything by Flashtool. just placing the zip files in storage.......
[Sony Xperia L] Saturation.mvp:
yes it is.
[Sony Xperia L] EternalXDA:
thanks dude. but I realized for the very first time (that you're on stock firmware), first thing, you need to flash boot.img in fastboot mode. and then you're good to flash the rom and gapps using recovery.
[Sony Xperia L] vuk030:
That's because stock rom doesn't have CWM recovery in it. So you need to flash a custom kernel to implement it...
[Sony Xperia L] Saturation.mvp:
yes for sure.
[Sony Xperia L] EternalXDA:
thank you about Cyandelta app. it's really good app.

but i have a few questions.

Can I use the zip file that's been generated by Cyandelta for a whole new Rom installing that comes with wiping sys, data, dalvik...?

I experienced a weird thing on my first update by this app. after booting was done, I went to menu to open Google Maps to see if GPS is working or not. then I find out that my Maps has been uninstalled! do you have any ideas why this happend?

any solution for GPS bug?
[Sony Xperia L] :
In the settings from CyanDelta there is a option to flash additional zip's. Use this to flash the gapps.

[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
I can confirm that GPS is broken.

The reason for battery drain is GPS itself and not G services. If you have location reporting and history enabled, g services will try to get location information and send it to its server but as GPS is broken it cant thus wakelock is kept unless its able to do its work.(so no deepsleep)

For the moment just disable Location history and reporting it might help.

I think varun comitted a fix that works for some people... The others remained with the problem... Probably it will be fixed for good when the volume adjustment will work when incall...

Varun, can you explore the possibility that the volume in call to be linked to the mic gain instead of the ear speaker volume. This would explain the distortion (gain is set to high values by the volume button leading to distorsions) for some people and the incall volume not working... This was a problem in other phones and the cm10.2...

Does the default CM11 kernel from nightlies include cifs modules?

If not , does anyone know if Thunderzap kernel includes those modules?

If not which kernel can I flash that will include cifs?

If there is no kernel does anyone happen to have cifs modules compiled for either stock or any other kernel which I can flash so that I will include them manually into the library?

Generally I need the info on that matter!

OTA Updates

Hey guys, I asked if the OTA Updater works and people said that it does, but for some reason, mine doesn't, I set mine to check updates weekly and on release channel but it doesn't work, whenever I search for an update, it doesn't show anything. I'm on 11-20140809-NIGHTLY-taoshan. Please help because this feature is very important to me since only MSC mode works on my computer so I need to flash stock firmware everytime I update my Xperia L to another version of CM11 because CM11 only has MTP mode and doesn't allow MSC.

Possible fix for delayed GPS.

Stumbled upon this at random. Can someone test

this app from Play Store

on one of the latest nightlies in which you have experienced no locking or delayed locking of position through GPS? Please post your findings here. Thanks.

P.S. Make sure you test GPS once before installing this app just to verify that the problem is there currently on your phone. And then install this app and test again. You'll have to tinker with some settings inside the app.
[Sony Xperia L] :
I will test

Still slow, about 2 minutes before it locates my position in Google Maps.
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
Allright GPS might be broken but navigation on my phone works. I already disabled location history and reporting and still no deep sleep.

I've tried other KK ROMs some of them month or more old builds with actual GAPPS 18/08 still no deep sleep.

Use Wakelock Detector to check if NlpCollectorWakeLock and NlpWakeLock are the culprits. (Probably are.) If they are, then use this fix.

Yes, I have this issue, too, with FX333. The contacts synced from google accounts are not affected only the ones stored locally on the phone.

I didn't now that there might be something like DELAY!

I thought that GPS is working good, or it's not working at all, and there's no any other way!

my GPS after almost 1min locked my location in high accurancy.

I dont know if it was fixed by nighty updates or it was never broken at all. but I do know if it wasn't broken, then it have to had so much more delay than it has now.

[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
Disable Sync use privacy guard to deny play services permission to set wake lock and wake up it will surely optimize battery life.

Try and report back I have observed 98% Deepsleep after this.

EDIT : Also Disable Location.
[Sony Xperia L] Mr_Element:
As I see that many of you have issues with those nightlies I'd like to add myself to the people who have already confirmed the following.

Please try reverting back to the 20140729-NIGHTLY-taoshan. In this one I have GPS lock within 2-4 seconds in 'High Accuracy Mode' (no additional patches or fixes applied) and a very-very-very rare scan effect after each reboot.

About the contacts on internal storage I do not know I use Google Sync for Contacts,Calendar etc.

About mic distortion I cannot be sure. Some people I call, do complain about quality, some others do not. I believe it needs fixing but I ALSO believe that it's signal related in a quite extended degree.

About battery life I am on stock kernel (the one that comes with nightly) and I have everything allowed (Google Location Services, Location History, Google Now etc. - even the "Ok Google" feature of GEL) and my phone under Wi-Fi makes it easily through the day.

The problem with this nightly (and in my opinion with all the CM11 nightlies) is with power consumption under celular data. This is where things get ugly. Once my phone leaves Wi-Fi and starts being on 3G or H+ then with some regular usage I can have about

10% per hour drained from my battery

. That means that with a fully charged phone I cannot be out more than 8-10 hours depending on usage of course. So in this particular area I wouldn't recommend this nightly but as I said I believe that this is a general CM issue. Its inability to properly handle the signal fluctuation and the rapid signal changes while you are out walking.

Especially if you live in places where signal changes at every street then this is guaranteed to drain your battery before you relize it on CM and in this case I would recommend the crappy SONY stock 4.2 ROM.

Hope this kind of helped.

Regards.
[Sony Xperia L] sudhamsu:
This is to report that GPS is (kinda) fine on latest nightlies. I used "FasterGPS" app from Play Store to modify my gps.conf file. After this I get a good lock within 10 seconds.

The issue, now I realise, is with location through WiFi/Mobile network. This is the "Battery Saving" mode in the location settings - which uses only WiFi and/or mobile network to get a lock on your location. I presume this functionality uses Google's help because it asks for your permission to let Google access anonymous location data. I suspect that this is not working as it should.

Why do I say this? I tried using GPS on an open terrace using "Device Only" mode - which uses GPS hardware only and no WiFi/mobile network. It worked perfectly. But after switching to the "Battery Saving" mode, there is no lock on location whatsoever.

I urge others, to try this out:

1. Update you gps.conf file using FasterGPS app - it just needs you to fill in your Continent and Country.

2. Restart your phone once after this!

3. Go to some open place where you have a clear view of the sky.

4. Then use "GPS Test" app or "GPS Status & Toolbox" app from Play Store to see the actual GPS activity and satellite locking. If all's cool, you'll get your location within seconds.

5. Switch to Google Maps - you can see it working as usual.

6. Now, switch to battery saving mode in location settings.

7. Clear the GPS related apps (GPS Test and Maps) from the recents.

8. Now use Google Maps. No location locking. (Or reply here if you do get the location by using battery saving mode at this stage.)

NOTE: Maybe some of you can try the test by skipping the first step of modifying the gps.conf file using FasterGPS. This could give us an idea of how much difference the app is making.
[Sony Xperia L] 78jimm:
I have noticed some of my apps disappearing as well as all my contacts stored in the phone memory, after rebooting. I mean no trace is left of the apps in the data folder. This started from FXP 332. Contacts disappear after every reboot but not the apps. The apps disappear at random, after one reboot Titanium Backup disappeared and the next time 500 Firepaper.

Does anyone else have these issues and can someone help?

One thing i should mention is that I started using Thunderzap 4.6 r2 kernel with FXP 333.
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
Yes, that helps.. but it's not fix just workaround.. I hope, that Google fix it one day. Thanks for help Navneet :)
[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
I know its workaround and the problem is with GPS not on Google's side. Older builds with GPS working don’t have it.
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
You may have right.. I tried Carbon ROM and it wasn't sleeping too. And I think that it was month old build. I'll try older CM build this evening and reply.
[Sony Xperia L] fatino:
Eh, there won't be any fix with battery saving mode because it doesn't use GPS. I mean it's written right there that it doesn't use GPS.

Although there can be a problem with AGPS. To get my Ez Weather app to work on saving mode first I had to get fix with accuracy mode so it gets my city and then switched to savings mode and it gets the changes from WiFi cellular data and stuff.
[Sony Xperia L] MrBaker:
I didn't use FasterGps, but I have GPS Status set to download A-GPS data. Maybe that does the same thing?

Anyway, I get a fast lock (<20 s) with GPS indoors. Battery saving mode does not lock.

I used Privacy Guard to stop Play Services from waking, but since the screen was on I don't think that would make any difference

I'm running 0821, but have seen the same behavior with network location since 0806. GPS started working for me around 0812, I think.
[Sony Xperia L] sudhamsu:
No. You are misunderstanding the Battery Saving mode. You can still get a crude lock on your position without GPS. Of course this location won't show up in the GPS Test app because it is specifically looking for GPS location. But Google Maps can show this crude location locked through WiFi/mobile network - it has always shown this. Remember that big blue circle around the small solid blue dot that it shows in Maps? This big blue circle is the accuracy of the of location locked through WiFi/mobile network. It is large because this method of location locking is not as accurate as GPS. (Yes, sometimes that big circle can also mean a bad GPS fix. But Maps has always shown location even when GPS is off BUT LOCATION IS ON THROUGH WIFI/MOBILE NETWORK, however inaccurate that location might be.)

And A-GPS is only to assist the actual GPS location. It's used to get a quicker lock on the satellites.

Either this... or maybe Maps has stopped showing coarse location locked through WiFi/mobile network. But that wouldn't make much sense.

Does anyone know how we can check if location is being locked as usual through WiFi/mobile network?

No. Using FasterGPS is not the same as using "Download A-GPS Data" option in GPS Status & Toolbox. FasterGPS modifies the gps.conf file on your phone. But you don't have to do it - it's optional.

An open question to all those who are blocking wakelocks of Google Play services through Privacy Guard:

Have you noticed any changes in how Play services behaves? (Apart from not waking up the phone, of course.)

Do you feel some notifications etc. are being missed or anything else?

Of course, things go back to normal as soon as you switch on the screen. But just wondering...
[Sony Xperia L] MrBaker:
I notice some location aware cards on Google Now don't show up unless I explicitly lock my location with GPS. Things like Travel Times and Movie Showtimes.
[Sony Xperia L] fatino:
Yep you're right. But GPS works. There are obviously some problems with AGPS. I can't debug it now as I have almost everything disabled to not get any wakelocks.
