[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vicxx:
My GT-i9505 has a problem with the Wifi. I bought it a month ago and the Wifi stopped switching on after 2 weeks suddenly, no idea what caused it. I formatted the phone and that fixed the problem, it's been working fine since then. Now I have 3 more small problems all related to the Wifi:

1) It takes a while for Wifi to switch on now, maybe 10-15 seconds. It seems to get worse every time I leave a place using Wifi by letting it disconnect on it's own when I go out of range.

2) I have to input my WPA key every time I connect to the same home wifi router (Dynalink RTA-1025w). How do I get it to save my key/password?

3) It almost always connects to the router without being assigned a proper IP. On DHCP it usually assigns 192.168.1.3 when it works, but sometimes it says ::1 instead. I have to change DHCP to Static and manually input 192.168.1.3 and that fixes it instantly, but I need to do this and input my WPA key almost every day.

I was planning on rooting and installing CM but I thought I should ask about my wifi problem first. I'm assuming CM will fix these problems but I thought I should double check and ask whether I should fix this before installing CM, just in case I make the problem worse. This is also my first smartphone so I'm completely new to all this (my last phone was an old Nokia E55).

Another unrelated question. What's the difference between the CM on cyanogenmod.org VS. KVT49L [AOSP] 【4.4.2】Dan&Ktoonsez 【CM Edition】on this forum? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2763735)

I'm guessing the latter is the same thing but with further tweaks, fixes and additions, correct? I would ask in the relevant thread but I don't have permission. As a legit newbie, I'm quite overwhelmed with all the CM choices, how do I know which is the right one for me?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tracsportva:
I am wondering if someone here can help me.

I have an unrooted SGIII from Sprint and have had the phone since 2012.

In the last update, to kitkat at least I have noticed some serious battery drain...in particular when I take pictures, the pictures get very grainy and then boom, the phone shuts down. Not cool.

do i need a new battery? I have read all the information about saving battery infact I can hardly see my screen my brightness is so low.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Try a factory reset after backup what you want.

If that doesn't help, try Odining the stock ND8 tar from a PC, in the development (non-original) section.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] g_money:
I can't tell you that a new battery will fix your problems. But, I replaced my battery after 9 months of use and I was amazed at the difference. Try borrowing someone's battery and see if it makes a difference? If you buy a new battery and that doesn't solve the problem, you've ruled out the battery and now have 2 batteries to switch between :o

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] huntley:
I have this exact same problem. Any time the battery is below 40-50%, the camera could cause the phone to shut down at any time. Really, anything will cause it to shut down, but it seems like the camera will do it every single time. The phone will not stay on after that point unless you plug it in for even 5 minutes, at which point it tells you your battery is 60-70%.

This is the reason I rooted and then flashed the Odin stock ND8 the other day (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/help/sprint-galaxy-s3-complete-boot-process-t2829181). I then flashed to Wicked X v7.3. It has only been two days, but the same symptoms persist. My wife has the same phone and experiences the same problems, which all started upon the update to 4.4.2.

If anybody has any ideas, I'm all ears.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
how long have you guys had your phone any water damage? hard falls things like that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] huntley:
Got the phone in December 2012, as did my wife. No hard falls that I can remember. Up until recently I had it in an Otter Box Commuter case. I took it out after I updated and started pulling the battery to try to get things to reset (never worked and like the smaller profile so I didn't put the case back on).

Tonight I installed the Xposed critical battery shutdown module and also Battery Calibration recommended in these posts http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2781926 and (can't find the thread recommending Battery Calibration by Nema, but whatever). After I installed the module (and I think activated it), I ran the battery down until the phone shut off. Will charge to 100% tonight and start calibration in the morning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] huntley:
The module does not appear to be working,as the phone shut down at 28% with no prior warnings that it prevented shutdown. That's unfortunate. To activate the module, do I just click the check mark and reboot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
from what I've seen water damage and hard falls can have a heavy impact on the OS(not like crack screen or digitizer but just a hard fall and phone survives) well except on water proof/shock proof phones.....but for the most part if a factory reset/Odin/Heimdall/what ever method back to stock you use doesn't fix the problem its a hardware issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] huntley:
All's better after new battery

I just wanted to post a followup to my issue. After the shutdown mod and battery calibration didn't help, I bought an Anker replacement battery from Amazon. Since my wife had the same problem, I bought a two pack for $28. I charged the battery overnight and then in the morning hit the battery calibration button.

I noticed a difference right away - I was only down 7% after a few hours at work. My goal was to let the battery run down until the phone shut off, which happened at about the 30 hour mark with my playing HD youtube videos for the last hour so it would die. The battery life indicator actually counted all the way down to 1% before shutting off, which is a stark contrast to the 30% that had been occurring with the old battery.

With the new battery, I've also used the camera when it was under 30% with no problems.

My recommendation for anyone that has similar problems is to get a new battery. They are a hell of a lot cheaper than a new phone, so it's worth a shot.

The bootloader is currently lock. everything is stock, i never root it.

whenever i try "fastboot oem unlock" and select yes on the nexus, it frooze on this "unlock bootloader ?" screen. and on the terminal it say "erasing userdata". the first time i tried i let it like that for a good hour before force shutting off, and i tri again, froze every time.

I can acces to my stock recovery but i have an error "e failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)",

meanwhile, i can't boot :(

any idea to fix this ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aerowinder:
I've seen posts like this here and in other forums gleaned from fairly extensive searching. Nobody has an answer. I think it's a hardware problem, to be honest. The N7 2013 is plagued with them, it seems.

Can you still boot into Android? You could try to root via towelroot. From there, you could flash TWRP, or maybe unlock the bootloader with that app from the play store.

I would send it back to Google, if possible.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] doss2007:
unfortunately i can't boot so i will try sending it back :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] HowardZ:
You can download the latest Google nexus image for your model tablet onto your pc.

Boot tablet into fastboot mode.

On the pc run the bat file to install the binaries, and after a few minutes the tablet will have latest factory bootloader, lte modem firmware, recovery, kitkat, and the tablet will have undergone a factory data reset.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wantabe:
The OP states that he was unable to unlock the bootloader. I was unaware that you could "fastboot" flash any kind of image without an unlocked bootloader! ; )

Is there a way to get app Ops on preview Android L?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
i think thats a goner but I do know xprivacy will be updated for Android L. Its much better than App Ops for a very small amount.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g2uzer:
That requires xposed correct? If so I have read somewhere that he won't update it until Google releases the final version of Art I tried 2 different apps from the playsotore but no luck..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
yep it requires xposed. I just tried installing it but its not compatible yet. If I find something, I will keep you posted.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lenny_kano:
App Ops works fine on Android L. Tested using my personal superuser mod that includes app ops, didn't change any of the code that worked fine on 4.4, so one of the other methods will surely work.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
really? I am going to try it now! Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lenny_kano:
The main difference is, I have baked the App Ops stuff into a Superuser apk which I have in /system/priv-app in my ROM. It's not a simple shortcut like a lot of the App Ops enabler apps.

Found via a quick Google: https://github.com/theblixguy/AppOps/tree/master/apk

Seems like this guy basically did the same thing. So grab the apk, push to /system/priv-app, set permissions to 664 (he recommends 777 which is not necessary but will also work), and reboot (might not even need to reboot).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
Thanks! I will try this tonight. Hopefully everything should go well :fingers-crossed:. My phone is rooted running L.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerebeln:
Someone has made it(by installing a shortcut-apk into /system/priv-app/ )

[M.O.J.O. General] goodBEan:
The other day I installed the MO0205-TS update (THREAD LINK). Everything went fine and afterwards I used the towel root to restore root access. Earlier today I loaded up the new ouya app to see if it was working, and its up and running. The weird thing is that it asked for root, I decided to deny it until I figure out why and to see if it would work without it. I will be honest, I am not sure how the ouya guys feel about users having root. I would really like an explanation for this.

It installed everything and I was able to setup an account and access some games with no problems. The way it works I would compare it to the amazon app store + a launcher. All the Ouya games I downloaded show up in the normal launcher and run no problems so far. When I look through the release notes, it indcates to me that not every ouya game can be installed to the mojo.
[M.O.J.O. General] Elnef:
towelroot v3 doesn't work in my mojo. It blocks my mojo. How did you do it?
[M.O.J.O. General] goodBEan:
Initially I had root before the latest update. After the update I lost root, however I still had the supersu app installed. What I did was i installed towel root v1. Now google services will try to prevent the side load by saying something like "This app is not safe, It will compromise security" or "its not secure, don't do it". Just tell it to install anyways. Load up the towel root app and follow the instructions. It will automatically reboot the mojo and then it will be done.
[M.O.J.O. General] Elnef:
I had root and superSU too.

Could you give me a Towelroot V1 link? Because V3 doesn´t work.

I found version one on a Chinese website (orsoon.com) and thanks to Google Translate was able to download and install it. Once you've installed it it's a one click operation so you don't need to know Chinese to get it to work. Failing with version 3 helped with the Chinese interface though, otherwise I would have been all :confused:
[M.O.J.O. General] shabbypenguin:
you just did one of the possibly worst things you could do. towelroot.com is run by geohot and has an apk that has been reviewed by many security folks, some random chinese repacking could come with malware and do unknown things to your device.

You're right. My mojo doesn't have any personal data on it though, and I did sniff around the site before pulling it down. I am a noobie though and new here so I should have been a little more careful about what I posted. I'll be watching my device extra hard now to see if it does anything funny.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] yepthere:
After rooting my Droid Incredible 2 and trying out some roms, I decided to return to stock rom. I flashed PG32IMG and all seemed well. After it booted into the stock rom I decided to attempt to update it from 5.10 to 6.0 through the software update on the phone, unfortunately this seems to have been a terrible idea. My phone shut down to upgrade but the loading bar never even began to fill before my phone shut down again and opened to a wiped phone that acted as though it hasn't even been activated on my phone line, which it certainly had. I flashed PG32IMG again and it seemed to do the trick. I managed to reactivate the phone but it rebooted after programming and began crashing every time it loaded to the lock screen. So I attempted to do a factory reset only for the phone to attempt to update itself again. Are there any solutions to this? I tried some other PG32IMG files but the only one that worked was the file from this forum post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599767

[Nexus 4 General] Tanmaynarang:
Hey all! I'm building a ROM and was wondering what your thoughts were on speed and stability on CM vs AOSP. From my experience, CM is faster but not as stable, and AOSP isn't as fast but is stable.

Please vote and/or comment on your thoughts!
[Nexus 4 General] THEBANDIT420:
CM tends to have worse battery, in my experience
[Nexus 4 General] Connor Baker:
Here are my beliefs (anyone feel free to correct me):

AOSP is rock solid (usually). It's not the fastest, but that can be fixed. It lacks features.

CM on the other hand isn't the most solid base, but they're very good about fixing bugs. They've got (arguably) one of the largest developer teams working on an aftermarket firmware. They do have more features as well.

What you need to answer is this: How clean of a base do you want to start off with? Do you want to go for AOSP and market it as simple and close to stock with hand-picked features and optimizations? Or do you want to start off with a CM base, having features that are now nearly ubiquitously considered "necessary"?

Connor Baker
[Nexus 4 General] Tanmaynarang:
I've never experienced this, but I can see it happening because of the smaller range of kernels (since it's CAF).

Valid points, I see CyanogenMod being geared as much more developer friendly and extensible, they even have better documentation for AOSP's tools than AOSP does :P

I want the ROM to be stable and fast, but also ready for customization, where I see AOSP not being very extensible.
[Nexus 4 General] Andre_Vitto:
So speed and stability is democracy now?
[Nexus 4 General] sykopompos:
Actually if you are building a ROM from source, you are better off starting with aosp and merging the caf patches then go from there. You can look at patch commits/gerrit to see how to add in the features that you want since the code is normally available to see and will give you what line and all. In the process, you have something to call your own and learn the coding structure and source which is invaluable
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
cm, fast? lmao..
[Nexus 4 General] tommypacker:
Keep Preaching brotha! Lol
[Nexus 4 General] v3ng3anc32002:
He is Right about CM

The fact is that CM is starting to be real SLOW.

Go for AOSP based roms! Build with linaro? That's even faster.
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
cm was fast until about mid 2012. then they just started piling on as much as possible into the rom and it has been slower since. when steve(cyanogen) used to spend much time working on cm kernel, thats when cm was known for speed, back in the beginning and a little after cm started. back then, they werent about feature, more about minimalism. now its all about feature.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxFTW:
AOSP>CM

Always.

At any aspect.

CM has become so low and weak ROM since 2013. In the past it was the fastest and the most non-bull**** custom firmware but now as it's available for so many devices it's become sluggish, slow and the quality doesn't even exist. Another thing against CM is that they decided to use CAF code on Nexus devices. I can't understand it as well as other devs working in Nexus sections. I remember CM7 on my legendary HTC G2. It was so fast and damn feature-filled as for those times. Now it's gone. Formerly, my first thought on custom ROMs was CM, now it's quite different... I am so disappointed with CM nowadays.

Just my opinion tho ?
[Nexus 4 General] sykopompos:
The hell are people knocking caf code for??? It is aosp code with fixes for specific hardware by the people who actually make the hardware, wtf would you not use it for????

As far as cm fast, bwhahahahahaha, it hasn't been fast since about cm4 back on the g1/mytouch when dwang came into the picture. Cm's goal evolved to bleeding edge features and getting on as many devices as possible while dwang was straight aosp Roms with speed and stability as the goal
[Nexus 4 General] RealiZms:
If you own a nexus CyanogenMod is just as stable if not more so. Latest nightly is flawless.
[Nexus 4 General] fr3quency:
I actually installed 30/6/2014 Nightly and seems faster to me in some areas, such as animation smoothness.

I was on PA 4.4 Final previously and hadn't touched CM11 for 3+ months.

Both were tested with latest Adreno drivers(June), same kernel, same kernel settings and the same Gapps; only the ROM changed.
[Nexus 4 General] pincher65:
faster than velocity? ;)
[Nexus 4 General] fr3quency:
Isn't Velocity the ROM that has ART by default? And lots of commits to ART. Still, ART is experimental in KitKat, so in the L release there will be lots of changes. I'd rather use something which doesn't have commits to something experimental(such as ART).

Also, I must note that Velocity has changed the animation to 0,75. This results as being "faster" (because of transition) but it's not. Try testing both @ 1.0 animation speed and see for yourself.
[Nexus 4 General] M3drvr:
A real test would be turning animations completely off and seeing what's faster. That's where real speed and optimisation can be noticed. 1.0 is just too damn slow.
[Nexus 4 General] calyxim:
Try stock AOSP, way faster than PA.

I've got 2 nexus 4s so I can do nexus 4 vs nexus 4. Nothing beats stock jellybean.
[Nexus 4 General] idonttakedrugs:
stock jellybean??? kitkat??
[Nexus 4 General] 350Rocket:
I'm stock unrooted on my n5 so far, running art and no animations. Feels blazingly fast to me. I miss custom Roms for the themes and a couple features they usually include but other than that stock has been almost 100% stable even with art.

I reboot it once every week or two and saw one soft reboot the other day in the couple months I've had it, not sure what caused it.

Still trying to decide if its worth rooting and what ROM to run. I like art which rules out stock with xposed.

I've been a chronic ROM flasher on every phone I've had until this one. It just works so good I'm afraid to mess with it. Especially when I've got warranty.
[Nexus 4 General] silverton:
I used to run CM nightlies but using ART it became a drag having to recompile all the apps every update. Now I use the M builds, stock kernel, stock clock speeds. It's fast, stable, and everything works how it should. I think I have animations set at .5x as well. Nope, .75x

I'd run AOSP, if it had a couple features that CM does.

I really like being able to change the color of the PhaseBeam wallpaper.

I really like being able to set the notification LED to a color and frequency of my choosing.

And the built in Torch app (I know it's available on the PlayStore) is a nice touch as well, and being able to set it as a drag from the bottom quick toggle.

The CM File Manager is great. Great application for those that don't want to pay for a file manager app that has root access capabilities.

And I love the cLock widget.

"Out of the box" LTE support is nice too.

Those things baked in to an AOSP rom and I'd be all over it.
[Nexus 4 General] Nuhro:
AOSP is defenitly faster :)
[Nexus 4 General] 350Rocket:
I have the nexus 5 and my girlfriend has the n4. Hers will definitely be staying stock for stability reasons.

She is a former iPhone user who hated android. She only has the nexus because she decided to try bb10 and hated it and couldn't afford to get an iPhone again. Luckily she is happy with the nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] Claudisimo:
I have used both and I really believe that aosp based roms are superior in stability, wish in one way or another, lead to more speed in the not so long run. CM hast more features, I personally really don't care about them....
