When the compass issue first came to light I remember reading about it being firmware related on Samsung's end. The makers of GPS Status and Toolbox talked abut it extensively. They had to do a complete program rewrite to make their app function. I don't know if it is possible to port things over from earlier versions or not. I'll see if I can dig up the article and post the link up.

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Here is the text from an announcement from GPS Status &Toolbox's G+ page about the compass issue and KitKat. This is when the issue originally began.

A new test version (4.3.79) was published to Play Store. It should appear shortly. This is a collection of bugfixes for KitKat related issues.

- Compass was broken on Galaxy S4 with KitKat (Google Play edition ROM (and CM) does not implement the ORIENTATION sensor!)

- Signal strength was not shown in the notification area on KitKat.

- Fix for disappearing notification on Nexus 7 / KitKat

- Map URL fix for Google Maps 7+. Now uses q=lat,lon format again.*

Thanks much for looking into it. If you can hack in a working compass, that would be awesome. The compass has been the only dysfunctional part of this otherwise golden ROM. Please let us know if you need any help with testing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hawksfire:
During set up it claimed that it could not find my sim card; I continued anyway and haven't noticed any problems.

Dirty flash of 1/30 over 1/27. First boot was sketchy, after a reboot everything SEEMS to be working fine. Getting an occasional FC of the Google App. I'll be on this build for the weekend, hopefully it functions without a hitch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I'm about to dirty it over 1/28. Have you noticed anything else? I'm hard headed and still use CWM and have to flash manually now. Something in the build isn't playing nice with recovery anymore. I know I could switch recoveries, but.........

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

Up and running on 1/30. Initial boot process was fine and have not seen any FC's yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
I dirty-flashed 1/30 over 1/28 early this morning, and everything has been solid all day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Same here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] natec003:
Can anyone speak to bluetooth connectivity? Seems to be better than it has on 1/28. I stream a lot of music in the car with driving for work, and with previous builds I've been getting a lot of force closes

Any comment on GPS lock with this ROM? I've attempted another Lollipop ROM and couldn't get GPS to work outside of the initial lock. Is this a Lollipop issue in general? I've seen tons of posts with GPS issues with other Lollipop ROMs. I really want to dive in, but I need my phone with a working GPS for directions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thorrules:
GPS locks instantly for me. I am on a 1/24 nightly and I am loving it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I am no developer and can't explain why GPS does what it does. That said I also cannot explain why it works for me. Since coming to CM12 I have had two days, both consecutive, where GPS would not lock. I am currently on 1/30 and GPS lock happens in moments, even after calibrating the compass.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gonzlobo:
I don't either, but when someone says 'to get GPS working, I flash XYZ build then flash CM and boom, GPS works' I just about lose my mind.

Really? How does that work? I don't believe you. [emoji14]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I didn't believe it either. When this happened on CM11 I went days without GPS and finally flashed build XYZ and reflashed CM11 and BAM! GPS worked again. It don't make sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drt054:
The only way I have been able to get GPS back since the first nightly is to clean flash AntaresOne's/Alucard's Optimized CM12 builds from the i9505 forum, run maps to get a lock, then dirty flash the next Official CM12 Nightly. It's been going strong since 1/26 nightly. This has been very frustrating. One night flashed 4 other ROMs trying to get a lock back but this was the only one to get it back for me.

My ring tones do not work at all. I tried to change the tone, increased / decreased the volume etc, but it ever works. All other sounds work fine. I had this problem on 1/24 nightly and I ignored it, but now I dirty flashed 1/30 and still have this problem. I just wanted to know whether this is a known bug or I just am not able to figure out how to change ring tone. Lol.?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Never heard of this one. How did you first install CM and how have you applied nightlies after?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thorrules:
First install was a clean install after wiping the system and flashing PA Pico gapps. That was the 1/24 build, the 1/30 I flashed last night was dirty flash. Both have the same problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Which recovery are you using? Older recoveries have had various issues.

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

Also, if you were on CM11 you could dirty flash over it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thorrules:
TWRP 2.8.0.1. And I was originally on slimkat and I wiped everything including system. So I hope it wasn't any residual effect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
May have been residual. The latest TWRP is 2.8.0.3 and can be updated easily with flashify. You may want to update it, try a fresh download (verify md5 for S&G's), and flash again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hawksfire:
TWRP 2.8.4.0 was released a couple weeks ago
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I stand corrected! Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thorrules:
I flashed 2.8.0.4 then wiped everything including system and clean flashed. My ringtones are back. Weird but it worked. Haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I looked into some issues and asked questions when Lollipop came out. I am a CWM fan, but with 5.0 it doesn't work properly anymore. What I found out was Android 5.0 interacts differently with recoveries and root than 4.4 did. Recoveries need to be updated to fix the new issue and, from what I have seen, TWRP was the first and maybe only one that has addressed this so far.

So the issue with older recoveries makes perfect sense to me now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gonzlobo:
Probably a dalvik/ART thing, I bet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I'm not so sure. Psychol3oy didn't explain it, he just said things are handled differently in 5.0.

I know the root issue has something to do with /system/xbin/su. Whenever doing anything is CWM you will be prompted to fix root (/system/xbin/su) before rebooting system.

On the latest. Receiving MMS/group messaging works fine - sending does not. Anyone have fully functional messaging?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I use stock and other that a bug with group sms it sends/receives fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] .Ejekt:
No APN tweaking necessary? I may just try a clean flash again tomorrow. Haven't had fully functional messaging in ages :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I edited the Verizon Internet APN (PORT 80, MNC 012, MCC 310) and saved changes. The APN will disappear, just restore default and immediately reboot. That worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yzf600:
Bluetooth works flawless with 2 out of 3 devices I have. The 3rd device with problems is my 2010 Mazda3 radio bluetooth. It will connect the 1st time after a reboot and music playback works. After I turn the car off and back on, it will connect, but no audio. I can pause and switch tracks and they player says it's playing, but nothing comes out the speakers. CM 11 bluetooth worked flawless with my Mazda3 radio.

As for running as a daily driver, about once every 2 days the screen switches to a solid color inside an app. I notice this most inside Google Play Music app. Home button won't do anything. Power button stil works, however. Back button takes me to a black home screen (I'm using Google Now launcher). Google Now launcher will finally "reset" after 20 seconds and I get my background image and the "now" cards, but no widgets or app shortcuts are displayed. I guess something is wonky with Google Now.

I've done a full wipe and it didn't help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] natec003:
I get "Bluetooth Share" force closes pretty regularly mostly with pandora and with 2013 Chevy my link. ... Did a full wipe including internal storage. GPE seems to work fine with Bluetooth but the battery isn't quite as good.

2/1 is up and running! All seems good so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I have come across something strange. I was going through the settings menu just to look and see if anything has changed. Going through the developer settings I turned "take bug report" on for a moment and back off. Since doing this the sound panel has disappeared from the power menu. Either I am blind and don't see where to turn it back on or the option is missing or removed from settings. Anyone see what I'm missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yzf600:
camera not working

Is anyone else having major problems with the camera? The camera app launches and lets me control things, but it never actually takes a picture. Previous nightlies (before 1/25) would snap up to 3 pictures, then fail to take anymore. Newer nighties won't take a single picture.

I'm starting to think my decision to move to cm12 was too premature. I guess I'll have to go back to cm11 until these things get fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] .Ejekt:
I've done this before. It'll fix the sending issue for one message. After that, things fall again. Not exactly reasonable to reboot between each picture I try to send.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Strange. I only had to do it one time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Ok. I must apologize .Ejekt. MMS is borked on this ROM. By coincidence, another list I am a member of sent out a message this morning and I cannot receive it because it is MMS. Being how this list is a Search & Rescue list for a local offroad group I am a member of this is absolutely unacceptable. As a result I need to find another ROM that has working MMS in it or revert to an earlier build. I remember this working in the past so I guess I'll hit up JIRA and file a report.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

I just went through my MMS history and the last one successfully came through on Jan 20th so I have the last piece of info I need for JIRA.

Ok, I have created a Regression report about MMS here.

https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-612

If I have missed anything or you have additional info feel free to add to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thorrules:
I had this problem as well on 1/30. It seems to have gone after I rebooted the phone. I can now take pictures, but I am not an avid camera user. So I don't use it so often. I can tell you though that it does work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
This falls under what is considered and acceptable Regression at JIRA (previously worked but now broken). Get a logcat and create a report. If you don't have an account it is free to create one.

I got MMS working thanks to this post.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yzf600:
I just installed last night's build and the camera seems to be working perfect now.

However, thanks for the info about filing bug reports. I read on the CM wiki that no bug reports were accepted for nighties, but I see they will if a feature worked before. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
You're Welcome. Sometimes when a new commit is merged it breaks something that previously worked, that is what nightly regression reporting is for. The more parts of a nightly that works properly leads to Milestone (M builds) that are less broken and more stable. Better M builds lead to getting RC's sooner, and so on.

Hello there,

I have my One Plus since a few month ago, this holiday (NYE) I went to the beach, and I realized the phone was getting slower over the time.

As I returned to my city, I made some test and it's definitely slower, the keyboard is lagging a lot, it can't even keep with my writing speed, some letters are misspressed without me touching them, etc.

I did a factory reset, but the problem persisted.

I booted up in CM Recovery, deleted media, cache and data, and installed everything again, and the problem is still there, keyboard is lagging as hell and the phone is not as fast as it was.

I tried using Antutu Benchmark but it runs normally and the score is the same as it was before.

I used the performance profile but it keeps lagging.

Is there a way in which my phone could have been damaged by the heat or the sun in the beach? Or maybe some sand? It is really annoying that I cant even type fast because it will miss like 10% of letters I use.

Need some advice.

Regards,

DCastro555

Whats going on with battey life in lollipop roms? Working so far but poor battery
[HTC Droid DNA] invisiblek:
Try removing /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.sensor.proximity.xml

then reboot.
[HTC Droid DNA] HokieCoder:
I have been on the 1/11 nightly for a few days now and have experienced no measurable difference in battery life from the latest CM11 snapshot I was previously using. I flashed the pico version of PA GApps and only installed the other Google apps that I actually need. What are the battery stats telling you that is consuming your battery the most? Perhaps you have an app installed that doesn't play well with Lollipop and is burning through CPU cycles?

One thing that irks me a bit with Lollipop so far is the stock MMS/Messaging app and its notifications. I don't want the content of my text messages to appear in the notifications when my screen is locked, so I turn on the content hiding for notifications. But when I do that, the notifications don't tell me how many missed texts I have. Nor is there ever a notification count in the taskbar when on the home screen. When content hiding is disabled for notifications, I will see the content of a single missed text on the lock screen, but when there are multiple it shows the count. In comparison, Gmail will always show the notification count on the lock screen regardless of the content hiding setting.
[HTC Droid DNA] JeromeLeung:
Is this safe to dirty flash over santod040's unofficial cm12?
[HTC Droid DNA] iHateWebOS:
I don't think dirty flashing is ever completely safe. It should be in this case, but you can't ever say for certain that a dirty flash will be "safe".
[HTC Droid DNA] invisiblek:
It really should always be safe. If stuff breaks because of it there's only really two reasons.

1) we screwed something up with database migrations or an update path (yea right =P)

2) some weird stuff was installed or previously broken on the install you're coming from

Generally speaking though, it should be fine to do.
[HTC Droid DNA] ehtasham:
Would you know what the misc battery consumption category consists off?
[HTC Droid DNA] tamlin42:
I use the USB tether function quite often. Is there a way for me to create a shortcut that toggles it on/off, either in the notification menu or on the home screen? I know there's one already there for hotspot, but USB performs better for me.

Also, great work so far on the ROM. Smooth and stable 100% so far. Only problem I've encountered is GPS eating a lot of battery, and that may have just been because of 1weather overusing it.

Edit:

I tried to flash 1/15 nightly over an unofficial build. It was "succeeding" in half a second with errors in the log that said it couldn't mount /system. Using TWRP something or other that I've flashed other ROMs with just fine.
[HTC Droid DNA] mobitote:
Anyone tried hotspot tethering? Does it work as good as it does on cm11?
[HTC Droid DNA] axit:
Are you using the latest version of TWRP?
[HTC Droid DNA] tamlin42:
Not the latest, no. What did they change that might affect this behavior?

edit: I flashed the latest TWRP and gave it a shot, and it worked. So, really, what did they change? I wass using like 2.6 or 2.7.

Also still interested in making a USB tethering shortcut so I don't have to venture into the settings every time, but I can take that question elsewhere as well.
[HTC Droid DNA] QuantumQuip:
I just moved from the unofficial builds to the nightlies last night(to 1/15 build). I am still having issues with bluetooth audio that I was hoping might have gone away by now. Anyway in my car(Pioneer DEH-X6500BT) phone calls work just fine but when I try to play music, it will either play for half a second then cut out or not play at all. The music ticker for both youtube and google play music will continue to move, meaning the song is definitely not paused, and plugging it in to the headphone jack causes the audio to return. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting to no avail. I was on a clean install for both builds(unofficial and official) as well. If you would like a logcat or any other information let me know and I'll try to get it.

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

I had that issue too on 2.7 TWRP. I updated to 2.8.4 and clean installed and the issue went away. If you don't want to clean install I would try updating TWRP first, if you haven't already, then try installing again.
