[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyxerosoir:
Dear S5 Users,

Ever since I've had my Galaxy S5 I have been plagued with random fast reboots. Even after I sent my first S5 in for a brand new replacement I was still haunted. Every single day my phone would randomly reboot itself at the most random moments. Nothing on the internet could fix this. I've tried everything, looked on forums, flashed to a completely stock ROM, and nothing. Nothing was working.

Until.... Last week. I was putting strings into my build.prop and after a few days I realized that my phone hasn't fast rebooted itself recently. I tried not to think about it in hopes that I would jynx myself. I let it sit in the back of my mind for awhile and I finally believe that I have broken my curse.

Here is all the strings I out into my build.prop that day.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LysolPionex:
My wife has the AT&T Note 4 (white).

A few months ago, she would get a "similar not inserted" error. It didn't happen in my phone, and hasn't happened since trying it in mine.

1 month ago, we unlocked our phones using UK (EE) SIMs.

Then, she started having calls drop immediately when using her Google Voice number ("out of service area"). The call goes right through on the second try.

About a 10 days ago, I had a call do the same thing, but haven't since.

What do you think are possible/likely cause the call drops? Bad SIM? Bad phone? Unlocking? Google Voice being dumb?

Thanks!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3cks89:
My Xperia SP has a problem: when running benchmark software, when updating multiple apps from the store and sometimes when running stock camera app, the screen turns reddish, slowly dims until it turns off, and the phone restarts, getting very hot in the process. From what I see it's not above 43 degrees, but I think that when it locks up the temperature monitor app also freezes so it doesen't exactly record the actual heat.

When the phone cools off, it's good to go, but until then it restarts all over if I try to use it.

I had this problem using Arch Xperia, CM 11, and a few other ROMS. Now I flashed stock 4.3 CE, using Flashtool, and I have the same problem.

The phone was bought second hand, so no warranty.

Can I do anything about it?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spasik:
I saw this on my phone in the past but only way this happend to me was that:

1. I was on williamskernel (i dont know how it performes to another people but to me its quite unstable)

2. I was on alpha cm12 and that happened to me under load

btw on cm11 and stock for me ist perfectly stable, phone never crashed like that but when i play heavy games like portal then i have 45-55 degrees celsias .

If you have this problem on stock flashed by flashtool from PC i think that it may be a HW problem.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matsas:
i had this problem in 4.3 .205 stock and other customs roms based on .205 kernel.

Now i am on .207 kernel with archxperia 1.0.5 and i havent experienced something like this.

Also im using undervolt to 1566 to avoid high temperature during gaming.

I think is your ftf , which one are u using?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3cks89:
I downloaded the ftf from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2311964

Yesterday, when I posted my problem, I had 12.1.A.1.205_CE1 - JB 4.3

In the mean time, I decided to try 4.1.2 JB and flashed 12.0.A.2.254_CE .

This one seems to have worked fine in the last couple of hours. I tried to run as many apps as possible to determine it to restart, but it just warmed up a little and kept going. So it seems it's ok.

Also, I had an unlocked bootloader and before I flashed 4.1.2 I locked it back again. If that has anything to do with it.

The problem is that it askes for a system update and if I do it, it will probably take me all the way to 4.3, and maybe the same problems. That notification is so annoying :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plum Crazy:
That sounds like a hardware problem. Is your phone in a case? Maybe it's restricting the airflow to the device.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nathan rd:
download 4.3 using flashtool (devices/check updates) and try :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3cks89:
Yes, it is in a case. But with 4.1.2. it doesen't seem to have problems anymore so I hope it's a software issue.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3cks89:
Will try this today. It should take me to 207, right? The phone OTA update service gives me an upgrade to 205, which I understand is problem-prone.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plum Crazy:
205 was alright, I think it was 201 that had problems. Still, it's probably best that you go for the latest firmware, which is 207.

[Verizon LG G2] sbattosai:
Any battery mod/tweak to solve lollipop's power hungriness?

Thanks for the rom!
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Its not that bad honestly. Any good tweaks you know of that I can add on next update then?? :)
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Solve it? It doesn't make sense to you that a new operating system would use more energy than the previous?

I mean this is exactly what happened from jelly bean to kitkat.
[Verizon LG G2] markml0528:
Even if it did happen with those two version of Android (which idk if it did, kit kat seems the same or better to me), it's far from a rule. New OS update doesn't always mean more power hungry.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Pretty much. If you didn't get to use jelly bean in its prime, it was crazy. Battery life was better, so this precise thing happened. People wanted to roll back to it until eventually everyone just bit the bullet and stayed with kit kat.

After its been out for a while, some things will be better, custom kernels ect... Minor optimization increases, but I wouldn't expect the same or better battery life than what kit kat was.

Its not even official released for everyone, give it time.
[Verizon LG G2] chrisp304:
Sorry, your premise is baseless, while what you're saying about those particular versions of Android is correct, it does not constitute a "rule" as the previous post said. Windows 8.1 for example. Not trying to start an argument, just saying newer operating system versions do not as a rule consume more power.
[Verizon LG G2] donalberto17:
Can I flash this rom from TWRP 2.7 and cloudy 2.2?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
No, upgrade your recovery.

No, you need to be on 39a
[Verizon LG G2] donalberto17:
It doesn't say you need to be on 39a
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
[MENTION=1563747]chrisp304[/MENTION]

I misread his post, I didn't notice he said rule. And also didn't realize he was disagreeing with me, so my post means differently than what I intended, also the a in my original post was supposed to be a "the".

It makes sense to me that lollipop consumes more battery than kitkat because kitkat used more than jelly bean on this phone. This was also the case with my old xt912.

I'm not sure why you made the assumption that I feel this way about any electronic that runs an operating system because I didn't. This is a phone forums we are on no?

Surprised that I had that many mistakes in a row with my posting, but equally surprised how critically my posts were taken to try and initiate a debate on opinions.

If you don't feel my opinion is correct based off what we have already experienced on this phone, that's perfectly fine, but this isn't the place for debates.

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

I'm on a roll with screw ups tonight and I made an assumption, so let me word this correctly.

If you are on the 4.4 bootloader, as in you flash your cloudy ROM with a bumped kernel, not a loki'd kernel, then yes, you can clean flash it.

If you are on the 4.2 bootloader, you need to flash the 27a, 28a, or 39a bootstack, so you get put on the 4.4 bootloader with a bumped recovery.

I don't think 2.7.0 was being used when bump was introduced, so I'm pretty sure my assumption of you being on the 4.2 bootloader is correct. Wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
All u need bootstack 27a or higher.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
[MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION]

Just a suggestion, but you can setup up your zip with all the bootstack files from 39A (using the 27A bootloader, and persist.img). Then it won't matter what recovery, or what bootstack the user is currently on. It's an all in one zip where no separate bootstack needs to be flashed. All they have to do is wipe dalvik cache, system, data, and cache before flashing. That's how I have mine setup, and it works great.
[Verizon LG G2] RichSPK:
Quick Remote?

Did you strip out Quick Remote? I haven't had any coffee, but I don't see it.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Thats a good idea. :)

Yea took that out as bloat. I can do an add on zip later.
[Verizon LG G2] jin5:
yes, can you please make the stock apps as separate addons?

i liked quickremote, memo/memo+ and quick translator.

thanks!!
[Verizon LG G2] snake2332:
I also would like the QRemote application available. I like when you get all the LG apps in a big ZIP and can delete the ones you don't want then flash the zip. That method works great.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Can't get those apps to install on zip. Flash full stock rom and then flash my extreme theme.

You can change some of the Status bar icons with the Flat style bar indicators module. You can change WiFi, signal, battery, clock, carrier text, %. I change WiFi, signal and hide battery, carrier, clock,%. I use Battery Home icon for battery %. You can even re-size the icons and move them every which way.

[Verizon LG G2] :
My response was to the person that wants to change his icons. You said it can't be done and it can. I'm just spreading the knowledge. If you like the stock VZW icons then that's cool man. I think they are an eye sore. Out with the old in with the new. I want Lollipop to be Lollipop not Lolli-Kat or Kit-Pop. :silly:
[Verizon LG G2] vastateofmind:
I haven't been on LG stock in well over a year, however -- this is probably the most stable Lollipop ROM I've been on since first trying Lollipop in December...blazing fast performance, frickin' awesome battery life. Have been on v1.0 for past week and just upgraded to v1.1 -- I am staying put on this ROM. Well, WELL done, [MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION] (and [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] and others who had a hand in it) -- just a solid piece of work. :highfive:
[Verizon LG G2] jin5:
Is there anything special I need to do to get v4a working ? I just installed it yesterday and everything else is working great. Thanks
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
How's your battery life? because I'm on the stock lollipop and I only get like 2-3 hours of screen on time. If this gets a lot better then even though I didn't want to wipe it'll be worth switching to it. Everything's good about lollipop but after the first week of using it my battery life went down like crazy. I switched to aosp and it was much better again so it's not hardware. Then I came back to lollipop stock again and it's back to sucking. So how much better is this?

[Verizon LG G2] njstein:
If I freeze (rename) the three apks, will I lose the smart cover and accuweather functionality?
[Verizon LG G2] :
If the APks are disabled they will not run.... When you disable "freeze" an Apk then PM (Package manager) stops it from running completely. PM references installed apps by their internal package name (E.g. com.google.android.apps.Maps) not by their filename or displayed name. tl;dr No
[Verizon LG G2] vastateofmind:
On a medium usage day on this ROM, I typically come off charger around 6 a.m. and plug back in around 11 p.m. with about 35% battery left and between 3-3.5 hours of screen-on time. On a heavier usage day, same timeframe, I might have 5-10% battery left and maybe close to 4 hours of screen-on time. I guess everybody's mileage varies by what they have installed, how they use it, and their cellular reception/wifi usage (I'm in a strong 4G area at both home and work, and am on FiOS wifi at home for a few hours in evening.) Sorry to hear you've had such crap battery life on Lollipop -- my experience with the four different Lollipop-based ROMs I've tried since December is that I *generally* get better battery life than I did on KitKat, even after the first week of install. I did try a Lollipop-based AOSP ROM last month, and think I may have gotten slightly better battery life on it...but that may be a "placebo impression," and I only stayed on it for about two weeks since I didn't care for the aesthetic changes the developer made to an otherwise solid Lollipop ROM. Hope this helps -- I feel you on the minor pain of doing a complete wipe and reinstall of your apps, but if you have the time (and space to do a current nandroid backup to preserve what you have in case you don't like it) I would say it's definitely worth it on this particular ROM. This has rapidly become my favorite Lollipop ROM.
[Verizon LG G2] :

slightly off topic, anyone able to get Bigger Caller ID to work using g3tweaks?

i dont remember how it looks like on stock but it seems silly the caller id is so small.
[Verizon LG G2] Dri94:
Does front camera work on this rom? It's not working for me.
[Verizon LG G2] tsjanda:
Been using this rom since its inception and on both 1.0 and 1.1 both cams work great. Battery life us amazing i have only had to charge once every 2 days or so under moderate use. Wifi and cell signal is much better than stock lg g2 verison radios.
[Verizon LG G2] :
This is the truth. I have flashed close to every ROM/Kernel combo there is for this phone and this is the smoothest yet for me. The main thing to do on every ROM for a better experience is go to developer options and change your Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, Animator duration scale all to .5x
[Verizon LG G2] dplane:
All up and running with this ROM and loving it!

I know someone mentioned the whatsapp calling audio issue elsewhere but is that a ROM issue or whatsapp issue? Curious if folks on the official lollipop OTA have the same issue. Sound has an echo and sounds tinny. No issues otherwise!

[MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION] Hey stranger. Still kicking the g2. Just installed this rom. Viper works for stock music app playing onboard mp3s. But not while streaming. Anyone else using your ROM have this. Gonna check over on viper thread too.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
I tested it on play music and it worked. Try compatible mode also.
[Verizon LG G2] jmileti:
Yeah it works for play music and any app that plays onboard music. Just not while streaming on i heart radio and other streaming apps.

Just tested and Pandora does work. Just don't use it much. Just i heart radio and a local radio station app doesn't work. Never had this intermittent issue before. Usually all or nothing.
[Verizon LG G2] vastateofmind:
Viper certainly improves the quality of the sound...but I still can't get it loud enough to my liking. Am I missing some untweaked setting in Viper? I consulted the guidance for every setting over on the Viper XDA thread, and yet, I just can't quite increase the volume at all.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
You'll probably have to mess with mixer_paths.xml to increase volume. That's what I did, and it's seems plenty loud to me.

[MENTION=4750134]jmileti[/MENTION]

Reading through the Viper thread, the app creator says it's not supposed to work with streaming apps...maybe the LP update completely broke the "luck" that was allowing Viper to work with streaming apps for certain setups on KK, and lower.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Nevermind, can't find the instructions anymore.

All that way at the bottom there is a Output Gain setting under the Master Gate section. You have to have "UI Setting" set to Moderate or Expert to see it.

I'm currently testing [MENTION=5819000]donalberto17[/MENTION]'s Volume Boost .zip that [MENTION=4292082]t0xicdr3am[/MENTION] recommended....seems like the Volume Boost patch increases the volume across the board for both on-board music players apps as well as streaming music apps, so that's a good thing. Appreciate everyone chiming in on this...
[Verizon LG G2] elite001mm:
Hello guys, I've installed this ROM and really like it, however the camera performance is pretty terrible in 3rd party apps such as Snapchat. Are there any mods equivalent to xdabbebs advanced camera binaries (not xcam) that will work for lollipop? The hardware here is extremely capable and I hate seeing it go un-utilized. I would attempt to do the mods myself but I lack the knowledge.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Does it do it on v1.0 without my camera mods?
