All sorts of things

Hi all,

So I am using the CM12 nightlies for a few weeks now and wanted to share my experience/questions-

- The Wifi and Data symbol always have an exclamation mark next to it. I have no connection issue, but the exclamatin mark is always there? Bug?

- When travelling, the clock is not being updated with the current timezone. Bug?

- cLock is not displaying any weather whatsoever. Bug?

- BLN is working, however the light stays on and is not blinking.

- Switching between roaming and home network seems to be very unstable, reconnection sometimes takes ages

- I had it multiple times, that I could not use dialtones in a call

Probably have more, but that is all for now. If you encountered similar problems, it would be nice to know and great to know if you have a solution. :)

Regards

Chris

Mine are fine. The phone checks connectivity by pinging Google servers. If yours are somehow unreachable from the phone (either firewall, configuration, etc), it will show the exclamation mark.

Probably carrier related. I went to Spain last Saturday and it updated the clock as soon as I crossed the bridge. It went back to Portuguese time as soon as I returned.

Is this fixed on newer builds?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hollandais:
No, I don't think that it is a bug. The exclamation mark appears on my phone when I lock Data Usage and when I don't want Mobile data.

When I unlock the mobile data the exclamation mark disappears.

Seeing the same thing here. I am running on an SGH-I257M (Canada / Rogers) and notice the cell connectivity drop off regularly. Seems to be worse when waking from sleep, but will also drop off when the phone is awake. Very intermittent for sure, but this PM it was off half the time I was trying to make calls.

What I've done:

- Full wipe of the phone

- Installed latest stock OS from Rogers

- Full wipe again and then installed CWM 6.0.5.1 recovery, CM12, minimal gapps and let the phone restore itself on initial boot.

I just now installed the cm-12-20150327-NIGHTLY-serranoltexx.zip nightly and while I do see some things in the change log that could be related it is still not working well. Just now tried calling voicemail and it tells me cell network is not available. Also seeing "emergency calls only" every often in the top menu bar.

Signal strength is at full bars when connecting, si I don't believe it is weak signal. I will try reverting to something prior to the 19th to see if that fixes things...

Appears as thought I can't download any of the older F/W files. Something wrong with Cyanogen servers?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyke555:
I was only able to download 20150321 and 20150327, both have the same issue with loosing connection to the cell network periodically...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave1975:
Thanks for this rom, but i have one problem. I'm on the 025 build and i can't connect to the 5 Ghz wifi. Anyone an idea what to do?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyke555:
I did install the oldest official CM12 release available from the Cyanogenmod download page today (20150321) and tried that and still have the loss of wireless connection. Looks like the connection gets lost whenever it would normally go into a low power state. It does come up intermitently, but is off more often than on.

I did install F4K's 20150311 release and this IS WORKING, so it's not a hardware issue, which I was starting to suspect. If someone has a mirror to the official builds I will try and pinpoint when the problem occured...

Anyone else seeing this or I am the only one loosing cell connection?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyke555:
Well, even K4F's 20150311 ended up disconnecting from network after a few hours on standby. So maybe I take it back, could be a hardware / SIM card issue. I'll swing by a store and pick me up a new SIM card maybe...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchavei:
I was indeed losing cell connection with the 19th but it got better with the next nightly. I was starting to loose my mind with that one... Getting new voice-mail while you're holding your phone for the past 30 minutes wasn't fun at all.

I'm having this issue with every cm12 rom whether it's unofficial or official. Kitkat (cm and stock) works well. But it's not in every WiFi network. My home WiFi is fine, no issues here. It occurred so far only at work. Haven't tested any other wifi network.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyke555:
For me WiFi has been good, but the cell connection is intermitent on 20150321+ on official CM (maybe more) and 20150320 on F4K's ROM. I did go to the store today and the tech told me that they are in the process of upgrading my local towers to include 700Mhz. So my outage from noon today may have been caused by this. F4K's ROM from 20150311 has been stable with good cell connection. I've installed a monitoring app and keeping an eye on this.

So can anyone get me CM Official builds from 20, 10, 18th of this month so I can see when the issue was introduced?

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

I have been seeing a bunch of cell related fixed in the change logs so I am hopeful that this will get repaired, but for now I am stuck on F4K's ROM until the download server's history is fixed. I am seeing that most downloads are good now down to 20150321 or so. Hopefully the earlier ones will get populated also so I can get back on official...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herr Harro:
I am having these WiFi issues since the very first cm12 builds. Every time I saw changes were made on cm12 side regarding WiFi code I was really hoping that the issues were fixed. But that never happened... Still having these issues nowadays.

However, I actually think that this problem was introduced by Google in lollipop since also stock nexus users report that bug. Apparently it was fixed in 5.1 so I am really looking forward to cm12.1!! Or I will try F4k's unofficial port as soon as the current call bugs got fixed. Hopefully this issue is history then. It is really annoying not to receive any messages while on WiFi until you wake then phone the next time...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mooon3:
I am talking about the "CyanDelta" tool alvailable for free on Play Store that offers to download only the few components updated day to day and compiling a new zip without downloading the 200+ Mo of the nightly. This is working and trustful. And with my very low connection it's useful to me !

You're talking about the CM Updater tool, included natively in CM and that offers to download directly the new nightly from CM servers. This tool seems to not work currently. I'm sure it will in a few days tops.

But you still can create a folder named "CMUpdater" in your SDcard, put it your manually downloaded nightly and then it will appear in the Settings > About > CM Updates... you'll save a few manipulations in recovery mode...

Hi!

I'm using super su and I did an update to the latest nightly. After the update I chose to fix root when the recovery ask me. After the device booted, I couldn't use any root app and super su didn't want to work.

So, I flashed super su again in the recovery and it ended in bootloop.

What did I do wrong?

Hi arco68, do you have any plans to somehow adjust/restore BLN functionality? It seems it's not just me who are interested in it.

Maybe, there could be some workaround? Or some "simplified" solution, but still using touch button LEDs?

Or BLN is removed forever? If so, could you please get some advice on which way do YOU personally prefer to get missed events notifications in case your phone is e.g. just lying on the table and you don't touch it? Is there any?

It comes with a kernel. Keep it as the f4k kernel isn't compatible. F4k will likely have a kernel ready soon enough.

Yeah, my AOSP kbd isn't doing swipe gestures either. Usually because it's missing a library (which I copied into place), but it's not working anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eaque:
Anyone?

I didn't find a way to update without breaking root. Even if I chose "don't fix root" at the end in the recovery!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchavei:
Are you sure your mobile data is enabled? Mine shows lte with data connection active and the exclamation mark when I disable mobile data

That works for me i.e. I updated binaries using cwm method and when recovery asks to re-root, I said no and it's working tight now.

Nope, you're not alone, I've successfully installed a couple times now, each time most if not all games are incredibly sluggish(especially Heroes Charge) and sometimes downright unplayable as compared to stock.

Either we both messed to have the same issue or something else is going on. Hope we find out :)

Go to about-build number, tap it 7 times to activate developer settings, in developer settings go to root an Chang it to your preference, just apps or apps an adb etc, root works then but I've found it doesn't work with all apps, mainly apps which trigger from a widget so I then installed supersu an everything is as it should be
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llapao:
Thanks for the reply. Not only I have data enabled I can also have connectivity with any app I have, peaking around 70Mbps using LTE.

In fact if you look closely under the ! you can see the up/down arrows meaning that data is being sent and received. I made that screenshot on pourpose because of that.

Tasker problem - lollipop or CM related?

I know that with the introduction of Lollipop, some Tasker functions have been hampered (data toggle comes to mind). However another thing not working on my phone right now is the state detection in Tasker profiles.

For example, I have a profile that does a certain thing when it's connected to a wifi network but since CM 12, it seems not being able to read the state of wifi not Bluetooth.

I've found many complaints about data toggle and alike (lock screen, etc) but surprisingly nobody is mentioning the lack of proper wifi detection... This raises the question... Is this a lollipop thing or just a CM issue?

Anybody running Tasker on these builds successfully?

Thx

I toggled airplane mode right now and both wifi and mobile connection show that exclamation sign on startup but after 4-5 seconds they disappear. Data connection works even before the question mark disappearing which makes me wonder if this isn't some sort of feature similar to Windows 7+ where the OS checks Internet connectivity by pinging some server and when it fails, it returns "no Internet connection" although you can browse Web without problems?

Just a thought... In your case that "check" might be failing although your connection is good?

Do you know or anyone know where to find that check? I was thinking that I could use a tcpdump tool to detect it, I'm just afraid that I could not recognize the request.

[EDIT: Solved] After investigating a little bit I found this issue to be my fault. I am using Android Firewall and I didn't enable some new services. See them enabled here:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pouchon514:
I think you will be waiting quite sometime for a stable version of it considering there isn't a CM11 stable (official).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arco68:
No, I have no plans of restoring BLN support as long as Ambient display is enabled. They simply can't work together, and adding an option for selecting either or is not possible either. I'm expecting the CM team will add more functionality to ambient display in the future, so it will be more configurable.

Personally I just turn on the screen to check for notifications, and I have no problems with that. Maybe I'm just used to not having a notification LED.

Another thing worth mentioning, and which everyone should take notice of: All official CM builds are now required to have selinux enforced, which means apps will have limited access to crucial system functions.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michelsberg:
Yeah, I thought so when I just experienced the following two issues:

* titanium backup cannot freeze apps and also not restore apps.

* AdAway cannot seem to do a tcpdump: There's no error message, but the dump file stays empty

Does any of the two have to do with SELinux? And if so, is that it, nothing one can do about it?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arco68:
Probably. You can try to manually disable selinux with "setenforce 0" though, and see.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaxaos:
Maybe we could just disable Ambient Display then? It's quite a useless feature. If it was an analogue of NoLED to a certain extent - then it could've been useful, but in the current state it's just another "bell and whistle", and moreover - it doesn't even fully work on S4, namely doesn't react on the phone being grabbed. Even users of "native" functionality on Nexus 6 devices often disable it as useless and causing accidental screen taps.

If CM team provides any rich configuration options for this feature, making it not just 1-sec-3-times-screen-blinking, then you could always include the appropriate code to the build (as I understand, it's easy to exclude this functionality, as it makes even less sense on non-OLED devices). But with current implementation I still propose to keep BLN in exchange for Ambient Display, and more than that - you don't even actually use these notifications, by your own words, so you could freely enable or disable feature.

Of course, it's your decision anyway, but I still think BLN would be much better solution for most of us.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakster67:
So, if this is almost one way for now to get any kind of missing notification It will be good to add an option to change the the number of repetitions and their duration.

But of course, it's arco-s decision anyway.

In-calls too loud and not adjustable

Hi,

maybe I'm too stupid to find the right settings, but incomming calls are way too loud. Everybody around me can hear everything being spoken, as if I'm playin music out of the speaker. I guess that's no quite the way it was intended to be.

Guys,

If anyone is having problems getting some of the later CM12 builds installed on their Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini on the Rogers network (SGH-I257M) like I was, I have found what appears to be a solution...

My phone was using the very original modem delivered by Rogers and even though I tried to update my firmware using the files found on the SamMobile site for some reason my modem files never got updated. So I extracted the modem file from the latest Rogers firmware (I257MVLUBNG1 dated 2014-07-14) and packed that into it's own .tar.md5 file. You can download that here:

Modem-I257MVLUBNG1.tar.md5

Once you have that, you can use Odin and the instructions below to update your modem:

Galaxy S4 mini Odin: Odin_v3.09.zip

1. Download the modem linked in this post (make sure your phone is a SGH-I257M first).

2. Restart your phone into Download mode. (Hold home + volume down)

3. Start Odin. Untick checkboxes Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. All other settings leave unchanged!

Do not enable Re-partition!

4. Click on AP button, browse for and select the downloaded MD5 file.

5. Connect your phone via USB cable and wait until Odin recognizes it. Click on Start button.

6. When modem installation finishes, a "Success..." message appears in the Message box.

7. Unplug your phone, press and hold Power button until the phone turns off.

8. On restart goto immeadiately again in Download mode and repeat steps 5.-6..

9. Unplug your phone, press and hold Power button until the phone turns off and restarts.

10. Check baseband version in System settings.

This helped quite a bit, but then turning off LTE (allowing 3G) seems to have solved the issue once and for all. Of course you can try just changing that setting first before flashing the latest modem to see if that helps... ;)

Thanks to spitya for the modem loading instructions!
