Had the same problem, searched around the Web and found out things about how important it is to have the right time and time zone on your device.

I installed this app and am now getting a fix in nearly no time!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.org.amip.ClockSync

This might even mean that there is a problem with this ROM concerning NTP time sync. Or maybe it's a problem on Googles side.

When I hit the next track button on one of my Bluetooth devices (or play, pause, previous) my buttons on the phone light up but the action is ignored. The phone also ignores long-press track skipping. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

The time is absolutely fine, but still no luck.

Download an APP called GPS Test.

Use it to clear agps data and update agps data. Leave it on, outside, for about 2 minutes and GPS will lock.

ALWAYS works for me
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] eTaurus:
I read about 3 different scenarios within the infamous "GPS not working" case:

1. Device does not see any satellites. Bad, never encountered this myself.

2. Device sees 23 satellites but gets no fix on any of them. Solution might be resetting and redownloading AGPS data with mobile data connection.

3. Device has a fix on 17 satellites but is unable to get a position after 30 minutes and battery sucked empty. Here I found synchronizing the time and choosing the right time zone manually being helpful.

I'm on a I9505.

Anyone ever noticed that selinux enforcing and f2fs /system partition don't go well together?

I had f2fs /system and set selinux to enforcing. Crashes all over the place and phone became unresponsive.

Rebooted ed to recovery, formatted /system to ext4, reinstalled rom and gapps, didn't even wiped cache and rebooted.

Works like a charm and selinux is set to enforcing.

I wonder why...

Here's a catlog if someone could have a look. I don't know what's going on but since earlier this morning after unplugging the charger it just doesn't work. Boots (kinda slowly), let me enter the sim pin a bit laggy and after one minute (no signal whatsoever) looks like if the UI crashed because the screen goes all black but the notification bar and it only let me bringing down the notification panel. Everything else is frozen and I can only shut down the phone again.

I tried wiping calvik and cache but no difference. I'll try flashing again... Thanks!

Edit: seems like I didn't have usb debug enabled and it's just imposible to get it activated before it crashes again, so no catlog.. Any idea about the problem?

Did you install any TWRP theme on recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] smeroni68:
Start OS and from file manager, go to internal sdcard, search TWRP folder, open it and put here a screenshot of the content.

I would like to know witch files/folders are inside... Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] smeroni68:
Have you reboot to recovery after the delete of the folder?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] smeroni68:
Exactly in the folder you deleted!!! That's why I asked to have the screen of the content...

EDIT: TWRP folder on sdcard if missing is created at the next recovery reboot... inside there is a .twrps file that is the config...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] smeroni68:
For my knowledge twrp save all there.

Every time I'm confronted with the lock screen and type in my pin, the phone goes straight to the recent applications, rather than to the home screen.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] brunodu91:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Switching I/O to SIO alleviated the issue to some extent for me. Also increasing cache size.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

Totally agree. I've never messed TWRP up to such an extent it couldn't be reflashed via ODIN. What's the point in Flashify app? Don't need it.

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

Not a bug no. Never had this. Same symptoms with quick unlock?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] yilun:
I have set I/O to SIO already, but were do I change cache size, and how much?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] smeroni68:
Stweaks -> IO -> .... both to 1024kb or higher value...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Beikos:
It happens under those conditions:

I only have to type in my pin code after the phone hasn't been used for 1 minute. Quick unlock is activated.

Now I'm only confronted with this problem of I don't use my phone for one minute or longer. Otherwise, this problem doesn't appear!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Certainly a strange one. This doesn't happen when you lock manually?

Something calling recent apps there. Logs may help.

You'd expect to see something prior to

I/ActivityManager(661): START u0 {act=com.android.systemui.recents.SHOW_RECENTS flg=0x10804000 cmp=com.android.systemui/.recents.RecentsActivity} from uid xxxxx

Wonder if deassigning recent apps switcher in buttons settings stops it...

Hello everyone.

I've been using this rom for a while now and i keep experiencing drops in audio reproduction. I get annoying random mp3 drop noises that make music listening hardly enjoyable. It happens with VLC as well as with the included audio player. I tried to enable hardware acceleration but it doesn't make any difference. Even more, when I get a Whatsapp message notification it skips the current song. I made a clean install, wiping the phone in full. Anybody else?

Regards.

When i use the GPS the process of Google play services stopped every 2/3 seconds, why?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

Which gapps? I clean flash with open gapps pico.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chinchulin01:
Thanks for your quick response stokesd3. Could you tell me where those options are, please? Thanks in advance.

Oops! Found it. I will let you know if it works. Thanks again!

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

VLC keeps dropping at the beginning of the song, 1 or 2 seconds in, the included music player doesn't.

Both keep cutting out and skipping the song when sending/receiving a message in Whatsapp.

Music is in the internal card. Default IO Scheduler is SIO. Read-ahead is set at 1024.

Update:

I increased the size to 2048. Drops are less frequent. The Whatsapp issue persists. I tried different notifications settings but the song keeps cutting (not ducking) and sometimes it even skips with this message:

Is this a known issue?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Whatsapp has a few issues yes. See if it persists after disabling audio ducking and/or whatsapp sounds/notifications.

Incidentally, I can't reproduce the issue when sending messages in whatsapp with audio ducking disabled. It does however stutter while replying on this forum now in Chrome. Irritating I agree! :)

Usual underrun in logs...

W/AudioSink(226): Event underrun

D/AudioSink(226): Callback!!!

E/AudioPlayer(226): This indicates the event underrun case for LPA/Tunnel

I've actually changed both IO schedulers to ROW and rebooted and no stuttering for now. I may try NOOP as well. All trial and error :D Do the same and let me know if any difference, cheers
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ragedberserker:
I am also having this exact issue. So annoying.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kaseykrehbiel:
So I keep having this problem where my phone hangs horribly and all apps are affected. I haven't been able to find out what the heck is going on until I finally got catlog to open but it won't pause or respond to any other command, and it keeps posting this (as soon as it is done posting the message, it posts it again, so imagine how it's tearing up the CPU):

bt-btif W ### UNDERFLOW :: ONLY READ 0 BYTES OUT OF 512 ###

bt-btif W btif_media_aa_prep_sbc_2_send underflow 18, 0

bt-btif W btif_get_num_aa_frame() - Limiting frames to be sent from (number) to 18

(number) is some seemingly-random numerical value. I held power+vol to take a screen shot and instead of the phone taking a screen shot, it froze. I got what I wanted, which was for the thing to stop long enough for me to write out what it was saying.

I found a similar issue on the CM11 tracker here: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-4147

Is there a fix for this somewhere? If not, I'm gonna have to bug out... this is a show-stopper. It's been completely killing my phone multiple times a day :( The only way to make it stop is to hold the power button down for 10 seconds, because it won't even heed the long-press menu command to reboot (It just says Rebooting.... and never reboots). I know if I'd just stop using Bluetooth, this would not occur, but that is not an option. :(

You guys's work is very awesome, and other than this, the phone is screaming fast and everything works perfectly. Dangit, it's like someone made the world's most delicious pizza, and then someone else came along and sprinkled some arsenic on it... Yeah it's like that!

I now mount the original 5.0.1 only the root.

16Gb of almost 8 are filled by the system and 1.3GB on 2 Ram occupied startup.

I have no problems updating even applications because insufficient space .. and I got tired.

I ask you one more thing: that recovery is better? or they are indifferent?

I advice formatting F2FS?

I am not very experienced and I would do damage before togliemi doubts :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Refer to the op on page one for installation instructions. Stick to ext4 for now, keep it simple. F2FS can be set on /cache and /data if you're feeling adventurous as benchmarks do indicate write speed much better.

To fix it, you'll have to revert to a previous version of the ROM. That's what fixed it for me.

Sorry for the late reply.

I tried to use CatLog. However, the problem doesn't appear if I have this application open, so I'm not able to send you the log.

Deassigning recent apps switcher didn't change anything at all, problem is still there.

However, I found out one more thing: Whenever I press the lock button on my Samsung Galaxy S4, the recent apps appear after unlocking the phone again. However, if I close my flip cover, the recent apps don't appear anymore. Not exactly sure what this tells me...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] eisenbergw:
I don't know if this is a known issue or if there is anything that can be done about it, but I am running version 20150817 and I find that I lose my cellular data connection usually once/day (full triangle for cellular with an exclamation point). Rebooting fixes the issue and I get all the stuff that was queued up waiting for my data connection to return. Sometimes it also affects WiFi. Looks connected, but no data flowing. Again, a reboot sets it right. I am not complaining, as this build fixed a lot of other problems I was having with the stock ROM and overall, I am satisfied with the performance. However, if it can be fixed (or if there is a way to troubleshoot it and will help for future improvements), then I wanted to let you know.

I'm hoping this is the right place to say this.

I'm fully aware that this is the first 5.1 build and so bugs are to be expected.

this build is intermittently great, alot of the time its smoother than the 5.0 builds ever were, but sometimes I've had really poor performance that just seems to stick until I restart the device.

antutu bench gets 15000 which is alot lower than the usual 26000 for my device!

Switching Dev and Q&A thread as suggested earlier is not a bad idea. Humans are humans and some follow the rules and others don't. Some follow it by a certain percentage.

Q&A thread with three first posts for downloads, instructions and other stuff would definitely reduce postings in the wrong thread.

Dev thread would only be 1 click away. Less thread clean, less unhappy people.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rebel1699:
The problem with that is most all people automatically enter the dev sub forums while looking for rom downloads, not the q&a or general section. The entire xda forums are structured in this fashion, and by the xda posting rules, the rom download belongs exactly where it is.

As far as the dev thread being only one click away....the q&a thread is only one click away now. If it is not followed now, I have no belief it would be followed in reverse.
