[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goku450:
Hi,

I have a nexus 5 running cyanogenmod 11 ,and for a while now I have been experiencing

some very poor battery life performance.

yesterday it went from 50% to 1% at night because of com.android.systemui and android system.

I tried installing different nightlies versions but the battery was still unstable and drained completely. :/

So today I re-installed everything and did a complete factory reset and cache partition format installing nightly 20140731 and Gapps, hoping that would help.

I charged my phone to 100% ,and then unplugged it and let Gsam battery monitor run in background with no apps working ,almost everything greenified, with WiFi off,location off and sync on.

Google now is off, brightness on low settings (no auto brightness),good data signal strength and very low usage (mostly checking whatsapp, couple of minutes of gaming, checking some stuff on chrome, but most of the time I didn't even touch the phone).

Normally this kind of usage should not make my nexus run under 90%-95%. this time it dropped to 20% ,in 4 hours...

I followed the battery troubleshooting sticky thread , and did everything I could to make the battery last.

I've uploaded the pictures of my battery usage in a rar (it doesn't let me upload all 5 pictures,so rar it is...) and I'm really hoping someone could help me solve this..

I don't want to go back to stock android, but this battery drain is intolerable.

If you need more information please ask..

Theres a sticky thread for this:

[Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goku450:
Sorry, I'm kinda new here.

I followed the thread and updated my original post according to that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
For these two you need to tap on it to see whats causing the wakelock ._.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goku450:
I think it's gone now...

I guess I need to do the test again...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
It hardly tells us anything until you tap on something that has somewhat high usage/what type of wakelock is keeping your device awake. In your case it would be "System..." and "Combined App Wakelocks", you tap on those.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goku450:
Well ,then I'll update the screenshots after the battery is drained again ... :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychDrummer:
Considering it's a nightly, it could just be bugs. I've never actually tried nightlies because I like stability, but I suppose it is possible that there's wakelocks bugs.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goku450:
There is no stable version for nexus 5,and I heard that snapshot is less stable than nightlies.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychDrummer:
I just mean in general a nightly might be unstable. Not saying you should switch to a stable CM. Just saying some bugs are expected. But regardless, I agree with the previous posters. You should click on the individual apps in that list to get more information.

I maintain a ROM for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and wanted to see if I could do anything for VZW users who have MMS issues. Try the following methods in order until you can (hopefully) send/receive MMS.

[Android Software Development] DR3W5K1:
A flashable APN zip would be really nice.

Thanks for getting this out there for us!
[Android Software Development] poo706:
Can do! I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

[poo]
[Android Software Development] bothgoodandbad:
hmm i'm failing some where probably

so i tried this, thanks for the fix btw.

I put in the number with no dashes or 1 at the begining (i tried with the 1 at first and it wasn't working(all the run commands etc went through but after reboot, mms on 3g still not sending:(

so after taking out the 1 at begining of the number in the phone.txt file.. running the steps of commands and seeing poo's script(?) do it's thing in the terminal: after another reboot when terminal requested the mms on 3g still would not send, using 8sms app, hmmm any ideas what might be going wrong?

I am using latest clean install version of cmremix.. toro gnexus, THANKS!
[Android Software Development] poo706:
So you ended up running the script twice, first with a "1" at the beginning, then without? And you didn't delete everything in the folder before trying the second time? Not saying that you necessarily should have, I'm just not sure how my rather simple script would handle such a case.

Take a look at /system/etc/apns-conf.xml. Does the first APN line correctly match:

<apn carrier="LTE - Verizon Internet" mcc="311" mnc="480" apn="VZWINTERNET" type="default,supl,mms,dun" user="

your number[/B][/U]@vzwpix.com" password="null" server="null" mmsc="http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=

your number

" protocol="IPV4V6" roaming_protocol="IPV4V6" bearer="14" />

[poo]
[Android Software Development] bothgoodandbad:
great reply! so i checked and the 1 is still in there in the number(in the xml file you had me check), I must have messed up the process or something, can I fix it? I tried to re-run the first time and it confirmed that it worked and prompted reboot etc, you think I should try again or did I miff it up by doing something i shouldn't have in the first place:/ ha sorry for the hassle!

To be clear when I went back into the phone.text file on the sd card in the folder, I was unable to edit from the phone(rookie move probably) so I plugged into laptop and still couldn't edit it so I deleted the file directly off the (phone.txt) then created a new phone.txt file on the desktop put in correct number no 1 this time or dashes of course. hmmmmm

Then put file in folder and reran scripts in terminal and rebooted and here we are:( hmmm
[Android Software Development] poo706:
When you run the script, it takes the template xml, adds in your phone number, and renames it to apns-conf.xml. Then this gets copied over to /system/etc which is where it needs to be. But my script doesn't delete that apns-conf.xml from your sdcard. So when you reran it the second time, it may have not created the new apns-conf.xml because the old one was still there. And then the script just recopied the old one to /system/etc. I think if you delete apns-conf.xml from the sdcard and start over, you'll probably get it this time.

Clearly I still have some tweaking to do. Thank you very much for the feedback by the way.

[poo]
[Android Software Development] bothgoodandbad:
Sweet, thanks so much! I'm gonna see if I can get it done now ehe. I will report back, if it works and if not I can always restore nandroid:good:
[Android Software Development] poo706:
Reflashing your ROM would work too.

[poo]
[Android Software Development] bothgoodandbad:
hah didn't think of that, perfect!

So i reran the script after deleteing the apn file and confirming it was gone etc, now looking at the html file as before i see the 1 is in fact not there so yay, but mms isn't sending, well it says still sending, although sms does work hmm

---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------

i tried with stock messaging at that last time, I will try with 8sms now

---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------

K, so the verdict is it's not sending :( I can add myself to the mms (group) message or whatever and I receive it but the other people do not:( hmm, I would love to be able to use mms and 3g instead of only 4g on a lot of these ROMS:highfive:
[Android Software Development] poo706:
This all started with [MENTION=5159347]swarlesbarkely[/MENTION]: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54464793&postcount=57. You might want to contact him, I'm actually on sprint not verizon. I know that he did say in that link that 8sms worked for him.

Edit: Actually, it looks like he said he got 8 mms messages...
[Android Software Development] bothgoodandbad:
cool cool! thanks for the info and efforts! If figure out what I'm doing wrong or anything I'll make a post;)
[Android Software Development] poo706:
New version of the tool added to the OP. It's much more elegant now. It'll remove old files that will conflict first if they exist, put your phone number in the APNs file, create a flashable zip, and output the APN line in question so that you can verify that it was substituted correctly. The script will NOT go ahead and replace your APNs on /system like the last one did, you need to flash the zip from recovery. Make sure to read the updated instructions in the OP.

[poo]
[Android Software Development] GherkinSavorus:
I don't know if this will help, but I was one of those Toro users who was having MMS issues on Liquid's KK roms. MMS would send/receive on 4g but not on 3g (or lower). This was particularly vexing and noticeable to me because I spend a large amount of time in marginal data areas and deal with a sizable number of group texts. (And before I get jumped on, I understand not every user has the issue). I tried every suggestion I saw to get MMS to function but nothing worked (assorted text clients, playing with APNs, etc). Based on a suggestion in one of the threads, I switched over to the SlimKat rom. I haven't had any MMS issues on 5.9 or 6.6 (the only two I have tried thus far).

Slim uses a proprietary gapps set, Liquid points you to the standard PA gapps. I would not think that is a factor, but I mention it just in case.

I say this not to praise one rom over another, but if one of you master coders could figure out what Slim is doing vs. what Liquid is doing, it may help get to the bottom of the issue.
[Android Software Development] poo706:
My gut tells me that this is not a gapps issue and that it's an APN problem. I downloaded slim's latest toro build and looked at their APNs and they are significantly different than LS's.

So let's try this... I put Slim's APNs file into a flashable zip. Those of you that have MMS problems, try flashing the attached zip and see what happens.

[poo]

Edit: Removed attachment, moved to OP.
[Android Software Development] gohamstergo:
testing slims now.. will report back..

ive attached the verizon section of the apn file from my rom. if you compare, you can see that slims is quite similar, but adds more duplicate entries with different "bearers." hmm..

HOLY PISS BALLS IT WORKS. skjehkzdjrgblidurgdlirgb WOOT. AND it even worked WITH wifi connected,[IMG="NOOICE!"]http://www.tickld.com/cdn_image_thing/673081.jpg[/IMG]
[Android Software Development] poo706:
Do you have working MMS on your ROM and what ROM are you talking about?

[poo]
[Android Software Development] gohamstergo:
MMS was previously NOT working for me at home on the east coast. i mention this because it DID work in alaska, which makes me suspect that Verizon changed their APNs at some point and the 3rd party carrier in alaska (alaska communications) still uses the older APNs.

ROM in sig: CM-REMIX on toro. Now, tested multiple times and working, even with Wifi on.
[Android Software Development] poo706:
Well I'll be damned. Who knew that getting past this vzw mms bug was just a matter of using slim's apns?!?! If we could get a few more people to confirm this, I think we can run with it!

NOOICE key and peele reference by the way. I just texted "nooice" to my gf yesterday.

[poo]
[Android Software Development] gohamstergo:
Ya, I had no idea it was such a simple fix afterall! haha. I really do hope it works for people and they find this thread. I've been spreading it around in threads I remember people having issues.

and heck ya, key and peele are hilarious
[Android Software Development] poo706:
Anyone else say that it worked for them?

[poo]
[Android Software Development] gohamstergo:
other than the guy in the other thread, not yet. hopefully over the next few days we'll hear more people chiming in.
[Android Software Development] ThePhantom97:
I received my first pic after running the slim_apn.zip! If it continues to work I will be a happy man. Thank you very much for taking the time to research the issue and help some of us out. I still don't know why some people have no issues and some do, makes it very hard to troubleshoot. You sir deserve a medal!
[Android Software Development] poo706:
Thanks! I was just looking to improve my toro rom. I can't believe that it took this exercise for us to say "oh, huh, well we'll just use the apns from slim".

[poo]
[Android Software Development] ThePhantom97:
I am not guaranteeing this is the actual fix, because I was only able to test with one pic message, but it is the first one that I have received since moving back to my toro. Who knows, maybe I did something to screw it up after installing the rom.
[Android Software Development] gohamstergo:
Well, if you want, you could try the 1st method from the OP. If that doesn't work, but slim does, then you'll know.
[Android Software Development] ThePhantom97:
I did try it and it didn't work, but, I just had a friend tell me he sent me a pic and it didn't come through. :(
[Android Software Development] gohamstergo:
Didn't come through on the slim apn? Did you also go to settings > mobile data > access point names, and reset to default? Don't know for sure if that'll do anything, but worth a shot.
[Android Software Development] ThePhantom97:
Alright, let me give a little back story in hopes it will help you narrow down the problem (could be user). I recently came back to my toro after a few months of trying two different phones. I was on an early version of KK. When I returned to using my toro I clean installed a 4.4.4 PAC rom and was not completely happy with performance so I noticed that PA was having gps issues and people were having mms issues on CM based roms so I reluctantly used CM11 m8 hoping a fix would come shortly for MMS. I remembered using LS in the past and after a brief chat with another LS user I decided to give it a go, thinking MMS was working and not reading the full thread...lol. So I tried both patches poo put out and was able to retrieve one pic that my GF sent me (sfw btw) after trying the second slim patch and thought maybe that was the fix, then had a buddy send me one just a couple of hours ago but it didn't come through. I have tried to send him a couple but error in sending message is all I am getting, so this is where I am at. I looked in setting for LS and under "settings > mobile network > there is no APN or Access Point Names options to select or I am blind. I am willing to edit my APN-conf.xml manually or try other suggestions if anyone has one. I don't know why MMS works for some cm11 and LS users and not others, I swear I am not full on crazy but trying to figure this out is making me that way.
[Android Software Development] gohamstergo:
[MENTION=4779941]ThePhantom97[/MENTION] hmm. well, not every rom has that menu..all I could recommend then is to open up your xml file and make sure it matches the flashable slim zip that poo made. maybe flashing different things messed something up, though i dont see why it would.. another thing to try, just for the heck of it. nandroid, do a full fresh wipe, install any ROM, flash the slim zip. then test. you can also test by sending an mms to yourself, so you dont have to bug your friend :P
[Android Software Development] ThePhantom97:
Just to report back with an update. I am currently able to send and receive MMS messages at this point. I uninstalled sliding messages app that apparently had the ability to changed my APN settings through the app or was not looking in the correct location for the APNs. After uninstalling I was not able to send and receive via stock mms so I flashed the slim_apns again and installed hello sms and through this app I have sent and received 3-4 MMS messages so I really hope this may have cured my issues. Will report back if anything changes.
[Android Software Development] gohamstergo:
Great news for you and the Slim APNs! :P
[Android Software Development] ThePhantom97:
I must be losing my fn mind. Now I can receive mms messages, however my sent pics are hit and miss whether they get delivered. I have tried small images, large images, camera images and part of the time they go through. I tried with wifi on and off and now I am so confused as to what the actual problem is that I am ready to clean install and start from scratch. Poo, does the vzw_apn_patch.zip automatically save the apn.text file that put my number into the zip file when you sh patch.sh because I am a little confused if I run the sh patch.sh in terminal, why do I need to flash it in recovery? Trust me I am not trying to doubt your expertise, just curious as to how that patch works because I may start with that one if I clean install LS again.
[Android Software Development] poo706:
When the script replaced /system/etc/apns-conf.xml, you had to reboot anyway to apply the changes, so I figured a quick reboot to recovery instead wouldn't be a big deal. This method is just safer in case something unexpected happens.

[poo]
[Android Software Development] ThePhantom97:
K, it is not a big deal at all, just wasn't sure if it was a clean up script after running the sh, or if it was actually pushing the apn.text to the location.

Update: Got really frustrated with not being able to send and receive mms so I did a clean install of LS this morning. I stopped the automatic downloads of my apps so I could choose which apps I wanted to install. After changing runtime to ART, flashing kernel and cosmetic tweaks I was able to send and receive mms with consistency for the last approx.12 hours. I didn't have to flash any of the above tweaks. This is with the stock mms which I hate because I absolutely hate a white BG. Will probably try to install another mms app and report back if I find something else screwy going on.
[Android Software Development] poo706:
Would that be my 8/4 unofficial build that you clean installed?

[poo]
[Android Software Development] ThePhantom97:
Have not downloaded it yet, just seen that it was up...lol. I used the Official 7/25 build that I still had on my sdcard and that is the crazy part!!!

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

I am going to say that it had something to do with Sliding SMS, because it asks you to select a carrier after install and I believe it changes the APN's automatically. That is the only thing I can trace it back to.
[Android Software Development] poo706:
I use sliding sms too, but I don't remember anything about picking a carrier. Either it's a Verizon thing and not a sprint thing, or I've had too many beers since I installed that and I just don't remember.

So my Walkman player is acting kinda strange, don't know if that's the case with everyone. Occasionally, when I play or unpause a song the timer starts/continues but there is no sound coming.

Hello, Im new to this forum and hope not violating any rules..

I just bought Galaxy S4 i9500 and has stock 4.2.2 installed. Cant update to kitkat neither with settings, nor with KIES 2.6/3.

Kies 2.6 says

" Your Device's Current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies. "

(see attch)

I'm total newbie with these CSC codes and nor googling helped me out with all my questions:

How to make CSC and phone sales codes match safely without flashing official rom?

I bought AFR version S4 designed for Kenya in republic of Georgia (Asia/Europe). There is no firmware designed for Georgia. So does this mean I will never be able to obtain updates OTA or via Kies?

Phone INFO and such apps didnt work coz it couldnt find "preconfig" file.. Does this mean flashing is the only way? Which websites are good for official stock firmwares?

Hello, Im new to this forum and hope not violating any rules..

I just bought Galaxy S4 i9500 and has stock 4.2.2 installed. Cant update to kitkat neither with settings, nor with KIES 2.6/3.

My BB number is : I9500XXUBMG9

Here is my question..

1) Will this baseband region phone ever receive OTA update?

2) if NOT, then should i use services that samfirmware.com offers?

if YES, then can i install official firmware originally created for another baseband? For example can i use Russian I9500XXUGNG3 kitkat on my I9500XXUBMG9 ?

Doesnt it void waranty?

What are the risks of bricking? i mean basebands differ from each other, isnt that problem?

Also Im dissapointed with 2G call voice, sometimes i barely hear caller.. Can this be Baseband problem? I think this bmg9 baseband was originally for IRAQ carriers and im here in Georgia, which doesnt have specific baseband i guess...

I would be extremely grateful to those who answer me in this hard time ^^
