Well, Flash Memory is a tricky thing... basically every time you perform writing operations on a Flash Memory, you damage it (I'll spare you the physical details ;) ). The older it is and the longer it is in use, the closer it gets to dying. I'm not sure if I ever used a Flash Memory chip for longer than 2 years (a heavy used one that is). If you basically just drop data on the Memory and from that point on only reading operations are performed, it should survive way longer :)

Are you sure you have 2G (EDGE??)

Can you please inform your Modem (baseband) version? And, if possible, your bootloader too?

I cant get 2G to work at all. Only thing that solves it is using MK9 Modem...

---------- Post added at 15:17 ---------- Previous post was at 14:59 ----------

I ALWAYS had problems with signal. Whenever i disconnect from WiFi, sometimes it takes a long time to connect to LTE or 3G... sometimes it never connects... need to reboot.

2G stoped working at all for me, since CM11... I have read a LOT about this recently. Appears it is a big between CM and Modems. Only modem that is able to get 2G from my carrier is MK9... (which is an old modem)...

All other modems are unable to connect to 2g(edge) networks.

This only happens with CM... There is bug tracker in CM Jira about that. Now that we have a serious and official dev [MENTION=5464206]AntaresOne[/MENTION], i hope it gets sorted out.

Meanwhile, use the (old) modem MK9... it drains a little more battery, but at least i have LESS 3g/4g drops, and 2g works.

https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-6131
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] smeroni68:
For your information, i get all connection speed...

Question: why you do not use the modem MK9 and stop the asking? I don't understand, sorry...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] yurividal:
because MK9 modem is old and causes heavy battery drain. and because this is a developer thread, and things are suposed to be developed/improved so that they can work nicely, not only use a half-fixed solution. We are here to help make CM better.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] knuckles1978:
I was having very occasional signal drops, and only for around a second or so each time, but they magically vanished about 3 nightlies ago. I don't know if there's been a change of baseband or something, not been paying close enough attention. All I know is they stopped happening..

So I'd recommend you update to the latest nightly..

When it was happening, the signal would only drop for around a second every hour or so, but when it did happen then the signal returned, the lock screen wasn't being updated, so when you went to unlock your phone the lockscreen would say no signal, but when you unlocked your phone you would find that you did have a signal. So if this is what's happening to you, update, because it ain't happening since a few nightlies ago.

i had my 64Gb exSD card crash once long ago. have you tried connect exSD to PC then use chkdsk in command prompt ? To repair errors without scanning the volume for bad sectors, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume:/f, and then press Enter. (where volume is drive where your sd card is. try to see if your sd card is visible in device manager. "sometimes" data can still be recovered even if when we think all is lost. )

disable headsup notifications

Hey guys. Is there a way to completely disable heads-up notification that pops up on android lolllipop ?

I know some apps can disable it (whatsapp plus could =[ ... )

Some ROMS, such as Resurrection Remix, implemented a swich to completely disable the popups and show notifications just like android 4.4.4 and below. RR is a CM12-Based ROM... and they were able to disable this. But CM still does not have that option

Is there any other way to disable them?

I hate it! it shows on games, and even on CAMERA!

(i know about "priority mode", but it is not the same,.... i want to still get notified, without loosing part of the screen)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:

Is it normal that the Camera is still very unstable, impossible to take a lots of photos at the same time, it's very laggy and the app just stop working sometimes, same result with Google Camera.

And I tested it with two differents Galaxy S4, but works quit well on Nexus 7 2013.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DSA:
Yes its normal

Nexus 7 is pure aosp, s4 isn't...so Bluetooth and camera will always be buggy as they are proprietary

The issues I have with camera is that after taking a few shots, it sometimes just stops taking anymore photos so that I have to close the app and restart. After few shots, it stops again. As someone mentioned above is this really the problem with drivers that wont be fixed? I dont think I had the same problems with GPE rom, which uses Samsung proprietary drivers.

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

Is this true? Ive been using PA pico GAPPS. If PA full GAPPS can fix this, i would love to do that and disable ones i dont use. but i see no reason for any differences between the two packages in terms of how camera performs.

EDIT: just tried stock/full GAPPS. the camera app still freezes. especially when flashlight is used. so long as i force it not to use flashlight, then it seems to take multiple shots just fine.

For battery life its better to use conservative governor using any kernel tuner like device control. Because the default governor (interactive will keep one core allways 1ghz+ and ondemand will allways max one core even when not used) conservative will throttle down to min freq and keep only one core active :) games like moderncombat run still smooth i can See no reason for a outdated custom kernel atm. Its better to wait till alucard updates bis kernel. The latest googy max kernel is causing system.ui problems.

Basicly the Android 5 powersave Funktion does the same. It does switch the governor from interactive to conservative after turning powersave mode off the interactive governor will be used again. So to keep conservative governor. You should not use the powersave funktion in battery settings. What you can do instead is, enable developer settings and go into the performance menu and choose powersave. This will do exact the same but it will never revert to interactive (statusbar will stay red untill you use the charger then never again)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] The assasin:
Does your phone overheat with this setting while playing Modern Combat? Are you using stock kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
Not sure if that is device specific, and I'm still not using CM12, but neither interactive nor on demand function as you described (still didn't check default settings on CM12. On other side these values are there so we could tweak them.).

Further, even if that would be the case, there is something called race to idle, and while recs to idle doesn't work well with old chips, S4 and i9505 have nice energy savings modes/states, like C3. The sooner the job is finished (happens rather on higher frequencies.) the better will be the usage of the C3 (more time spent in it.), and C3 definitely saves more power than low frequencies like 384 MHz.

Saving power is not that straightforward as applying a governor, UV a bit etc.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nadejo:
I use the stock kernel and play moderncombat 5. it runs very well even with powersave mode, in performance menu (developer settings must be enabled) no overheat at all even while charging. If you need smooth graphics GL tools is a must, there is a free Version on the xda thread, go to filemanager, anable root Funktion, Mount system r/w install GL tools and use tegra4 settings for moderncombat5 you will have better graphics and a higher framerate :)

I'm sorry to insist but someone has a solution for the camera? It's just not working after a few shots, or it simply doesn't work as rootuser11 said before. Google Camera same result and flashing the GAPPS didn't change anything.

It's quit a big problem, Camera is essential!

3 Q's from me Guys:

1) How to completely turn off multi user on this ROM ?

2) How to turn of the annoying upcoming alarm notification ? (I just want the alarms and not the info that there will be an alarm - I know that ther will be one because I've set it)

3) I'm using gapps-lp-20150125-signed.zip to install GApps on this ROM, but I've tried about a dozen times to reflash it with complete wipe and it doesn't automatically redownload apps from play store, as on the stock ROM. Is this the way it should be, or is there a version of GApps that downloads all the apps from the play store backup automatically ? It's very annoying to have to manually install ~200 apps on every clean flash.

Battery life with recent nightlies?

Guys,

What kind of battery life are you getting with recent nightlies (e.g. 02/02)? Mine is a bit horrible - gsam, BBS, etc find nothing wrong but I still lose battery fast even during the night (no major wakelocks etc). SOT with the stock battery is about 2 hours more or less so I am trying to figure our whether it's a problem with the ROM or on my end. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Duck4Cover:
Has anybody tried keeping this as intended and a non Google ROM to improve privacy. Ie not installed gapps? And if so what alternatives did you use to gapps?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Pho3nX:
The best way is use a alternative store (Aptoide) and choice/install your apk.

Have you install the lastest GoogyMax kernel 1.2.8 for CM12? Also install Greenify if you want less drain battery and disable/remove sync for unused programs

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MetalPainis:
Maybe the use of HDR is what is causing your issues. Afaik the HDR Mode is not implemented in the stock camera, just a workaround was created to not have the camera closing with an fc or the image resulting in a black piece of nothing. So currently, when taking a HDR picture, you actually take a normal picture. I am currently using either Snap Camera or Camera FV-5 (and I prefer the latter), both don't cause any issues for me with or without the use of flashlight.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rootuser11:
Thank you. I was suspecting whether the hdr mode actually works as the results between non hdr and hdr were the same while hdr mode on nexus 5 definitely worked differently.

I have disabled the hdr mode and put flashlight into auto atm. Fingers crossed And thanks for your suggestion!

Is ambiant display working with CM12 ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MetalPainis:
No, at least not as intended. If you activate it and get a notification, the display turns on for a moment and shows you a variant of the lockscreen with the notifications, but if you just pick up the device from the table or something like that, nothing happens, the required Kernel adaptions have not been made (yet).
