Don't remember which update removed SD card write privileges, but they appear to be back. I can once again use ES File Explorer to copy music/pictures to my SD card (running stock, unrooted).

Win some lose some, it looks like some available actions using the Secure Settings app (usually paired w/ Tasker) have been stripped away: toggling data on/off now requires root.

Everything seems smoother, noticeably swype.

Not really digging the new notification cards that cover the top section of the screen and sit for maybe a whole 10 seconds before going away.... are they bothering anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kbustera:
The SD card functionality isn't fully there. Multiple apps (eg ttorrent) still can't write to the SD card. I was able to do it under Kit Kat after installing an app to restore that function. Is anyone else experiencinthe this? If so, is there a fix coming (or an internal setting I am missing)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] newkydawg:
About 10 minutes ago, I ran a Play Store app called SDFix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and it fixed my SD Card write problem. App says it's for KitKat but it works on Lollipop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rbird2:
I also used this app and it worked on Lollipop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
I really think they did a great job with this update. I did the method to keep root and while I still dislike the color scheme of touchwiz, it performs much better than it did on Kitkat so far. Everything seems pretty smooth and I am not getting the lag I was before when scrolling in apps.

The only downside I see is that battery is burning through much faster, for me.

Losing 25% in two hours, LTE-only, no phone calls.

Is there any theming built in? The default pastel Easter basket colors are annoying. Using Google Now launcher. I know I could use ADW or other, but with the battery consumption, I'd like to keep it lean.

Long time lurker, first time poster. My wife's S4 is having an issue with Hangouts after the update. She's using it as her primary messaging app, but when she tries to send a video through MMS, it just doesn't go through. Anyone else having similar issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jhb04jhb04:
I agree with alot of people here. The rom is stable and fast, no issues except one that is very important to me: Bluetooth for Music Streaming from my car and headphones. While on 4.4.2, I never had any issues streaming music in my car through my S4. Then I upgraded to OC1 Lollipop via muniz_ri's method. My music began to studder and would lose bluetooth connection altogether. I unpaired my phone to my car and reestablished connection but that didn't work. I would turn off bluetooth and turn it back on to reconnect: no such luck. I even Odin'd back to NC5 and reflashed the muniz's OC1 rom. No luck. Unfortunately, I had to Odin back to NC5 and returned to running prsnow's NK1 cleaned 4.4.2 rom. At first, my bluetooth started to studder for a bit but after unpairing and reconnecting my bluetooth to my car, it is now working fine again. If I didn't stream music, I would stay on OC1 because it was fast, smooth, and stable. But since I need my music, it was a deal-breaker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eddie Hicks:
I used Muniz_ri's method for rooted Lollipop and I have no issues with Bluetooth in my SUV. I have a newer Kenwood touch screen NAV/audio system. I play Pandora, iHeart and Spotify with no issues. I have unlimited data so I have one of the services playing all the time I'm driving with no problems. I don't use headphones but I have a Sony Bluetooth speaker that I play the same mentioned music services also without any issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tshelby73:
Just tested my Bluetooth on my Subaru with JVC player no problems actually sounded better than kit Kat. Only issue i have seen is lag on lock screen and recent apps. But heard this might be a 5.0 thing that should be fixed is they ever release 5.1

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] exautt:
close all apps brings me to a settings page every time

so im a bit obsessive when it comes to closing background apps and now with the new chrome update, it forces me to use the app switcher / closer to kill tabs. one weird thing i notice, is when i choose close all, to kill everything running, it always brings me to a settings page. sometimes, bluetooth settings, sometimes settings main page, sometimes a blank settings looking screen, really weird when that happens. i just get around this by hitting the home button. still strange though. anybody else getting this? im on stock OC1.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bshade:
So I did the update on vacation and my phone started crashing right away, then I got a new phone through my insurance as I thought it was the phone, but stupidly i did the update on the new phone and it sucks. I can not make or receive phone calls, I can not hear anything from the phone, no music, no ringtones, no alarms. I talked to the Verizon store and they said its the new update. I figured ok I will root and rom it but that seams impossible with the new Lollipop. The phone will lock up and reboot itself if I try and install and run things like Spotify and Messanger. It is acting exactly like my old phone did after the update. ToutchWiz locked up until I went to the simple mode and I think that was from widgets. Now I am at the point the only thing on my phone is the stock programs and facebook, but I cant use it as a phone at all just for txting. Has no one else had this bad of problem with the update? Also it would chew through the battery in about 2 hours when I had loaded all the normal programs on that I had originally had on it. I have cleared it to stock a few times to figure all this stuff out. Lollipop is just not working at all for me.

have you tried doing a factory reset?

OTA updates always break everything and i've always wiped my phone before installing any major firmware upgrades/ROMs and have never had an issue on any phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bshade:
I have done multiply factory resets. I call ed the insurance company back and told them the new phone does not work and they are sending me a new one, I just wi8ll not do the upgrade. May just rom it right away but I don't know what rom to use and I don't feel like trying 10 different ones to figure it out.

Thanks for the reply though, What Rom do you like?

My nexus 6 64gb, as it says on the box, is showing 32gb. I just got it from tmobile today and didnt bother to check the storage size in the phone before rooting and flashing a new 5.1 factory image. however to my horror i noticed that the storage size says 32gb!!!

I have tried formatting the storage in both custom recovery and by flashing userdata.img, nothing works. I have flashed a full factory image three times. The storage stays at 32gb... How can i fix this?

fastboot format userdata
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JW09I4:
While an old thread, for reference for anyone happening across this in the future:

When you flash or update your firmware,

DO NOT

flash the userdata partition, as it's not meant to be flashed (especially on models that have a higher storage capacity when multiple storage options for the device exist). The UserData partition should instead be formatted, as [MENTION=5302753]The_Merovingian[/MENTION] mentioned in their prior post. If you do flash the userdata partition, then ensure you format it manually prior to booting the device.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
I have root enabled. I always have. This bug has plagued me for many versions through many reinstalls, for months.

Go into file manager > try to delete a folder > it fails, says you need root enabled. It's not just in the stock CM file manager, even Root Explorer fails.

I can explore the storage via Windows and delete the folder, but my device still shows it exists and can still access the files it contains.

WTF. Help!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
Can anyone comment on this? I can't delete files because it demands root, even though I have root. It's been like this for months, through complete wipes and resets, through different versions of CM.

Even when I delete files using Windows, they still exist and are visible to apps and in CM File Manager.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
Still a problem, but a workaround is to delete via TWRP recovery. Wish someone could explain why this is happening. It has something to do with CM, it's never been a problem on any other ROMs, but it's consistently been a problem on a range of CM ROMs.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiVON:
Since you state it is a CM ROM and this phone runs on CM out of the box, I highly doubt it is a CM only problem. Any ROM you flash, except for OmniROM and derivatives uses CM commits. They may not be CM-based, but they share a lot.

Seems more like a faulty partition to me.

Can you tell us what happens if you remove the files using ADB? Either through your Windows PC or using Terminal Emulator.

That should work.

I'd advise you to format your storage partition, and see what happens after that.

If it doesn't work, I'd still advise you to format your storage partition ;)

You know what they say: the simplest solutions are the best!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
Well, as far as I know I format the storage partition every time I flash a new ROM (all of which have been CM nightlies or else CM11s or 12s), because I use TWRP and wipe everything listed in the wipe menu, twice.

But I do use TWRP, and that uses ADB right? It was successful deleting files.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] duckredbeard:
This isn't the usual "won't charge to full" issue i have been reading about. The tablet is not seeing power connected. Settings>Battery does not show charging. Tasker does not see power connected. HD Widgets does not show charging. Battery bar does not show charging. Ampere (app) shows discharging.

So I did a shutdown and connected power. The tablet does a thing where it shows the battery on the screen and the red & yellow kernel stuff. Then it shows the other "flat" battery icon. Then the display blanks and does all that again and again.

I did try several reboots, hot reboots, soft reboots, long pressing power reboots.

I see an increase in battery level after it is plugged in while completely shut down. Ten minutes got me 4%.

And yes, two known good power cords on two known good outlets. Verified by connecting my phone.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] otyg:
Sounds like a strange issue, if the battery is dead but you are using the tablet then perhaps it is getting power since usually it will shutdown when battery level is past a certain percent (unless it is plugged in), so if that is the case there might be a few things to try

first try to hook it up to your pc see if it detects the tablet (just to make sure the usb port on the tablet is working properly) if so then that's a good sign.

if the usb port is working correctly it could be the wire connector on the actual battery inside the tablet it might have just come loose since it's just a simple press down clip that holds it inplace and a drop or other hard hit could cause it to dislodge, see the thread on how to open the tablet if you want to check, or if it is still under warranty it might be better to send it to samsung if you are uncomfortable opening the tablet yourself

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-pro-12-10-8/general/reseating-battery-wonder-battery-life-t2944610

Now if the usb port is not working or it's not even keeping the tablet powered on it could be anything from a failed charging mechanism, broken usb port, ...etc and probably only Samsung service center can fix it.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] duckredbeard:
The battery is about 75% now… powered off until I can get more info. I am using genuine Sammy chargers and they still connect snugly. Note that it does charge when powered off.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] duckredbeard:
So after an extended power off period I rebooted and charging is normal again. Still considering checking the battery connection. It has always charged slower than I would expect.

I just bought 2 T-Mobile M919 phones, and one of them i am going to Use on T-Mobile, but the other one, on Metro-PCS. I understand that there is 2 different versions of this model, the M919, and The M919N (METROPCS) . I know how to unlock them. (I found those threads) I know how to put Cyanogen on either.. But what i cant seem to find is, How do i take the M919 and use a SIM card from Metro-PCS and make it work. I'm sure i have to use a different Firmware with a different modem. But i am really confused as to where i can find all of this info that i need. I just cant seem to find it.

Hi,

First of all apologies if I am not in the right thread to post this question. I am running CM 12.1 (Nightly CM12.1-20150430) on Nexus 5.

The issue is, I flashed the GAPPS as well for CM 12.1 (i.e. for Android 5.1) But after flashing GAPPS, I am constantly getting the message "Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"

This is so frustrating because before when I was running CM 12 at that time as well these processes stopped. I somehow managed to reduce the frequency of getting such message by clearing app cache (for message "Unfortunately play store services has stopped" I used to clear cache for Play Store app from Settings--> Apps--> All Apps. And same for other apps as well.)

Its irritating to get such messages even after flashing the appropriate GAPPS for CM 12.1. Is there any way or updated GAPPS which could help me in this situation.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bRuce_W@yn3:
Hi,

I somehow escaped from the issue:cowboy: All you have to do is reflash the latest nightly build along with compatible GAPPS (if you are flashing CM12.1 flash Gapps 5.1) Before doing so, you have to format your phone (Clean flash)

Thats what I did. Erased everything from my phone (after taking backup from Titanium Backup) and then flashed the latest nightly build with the GAPPS for android 5.1 and now I can run every google app without any issue :cool:

Hope it will work for you as well :good:

For some strange reason I have two of everything in my MMS mail program.
