Try disabling that in wifi/advanced options. It might help you out. Big problem with Google Apps is that any time a Google app tries to get a gps fix it calls google services. It's probably the same with wifi when that option is selected. So you won't see the app that is the cause. Instead it will show google services. I had a problem with gps. From privacy guard i disabled location for Google services and after that tried to use Google maps. It just wouldn't starts trying to get a fix (when an app is trying to get a fix Gps status app will show up in notifications). After 1 year of Google search research i found my answer (at least close to it).
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
I checked and it was already disabled. I don't think it has to do with GPS cause I actually disabled location and it still happens at random moments. Very odd to be sure.
[Amazon Fire Phone] dato02:
Hoped that it was that. Then i have no clue what it is. Try to dig around forums. Maybe you'll get your answer like i did. Btw it doesn't say only to use network for location. It gives apps permission to turn on wifi and scan for network + get location information (at least that's how i understand it). So even when you turn off wifi it might be on without you knowing it ????
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
I literally turned location services off, it seems it is an issue with Google Play Services fundamentally on a coding level, that is my guess. I have no clue, but I've tried everything and the only thing that fixes it is Force Stop on Google Play Services, and even then it is a temp fix that can restart at any moment. No idea what the trigger(s) is/are. Thank you for trying to help all the same.
[Amazon Fire Phone] killer_whale:
Sorry, my bad, already found it
[Amazon Fire Phone] transentient:
Thanks very much for putting the work into this mod. This is my first cyanogen phone!

I am still playing with the phone, I get the google play crashes, the problems with the google camera app, and the washed-out photos with Open Camera.

I am hoping it runs Skype, Google Hangouts, Google Voice, Google Maps, and Ingress well. :)

Hello [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION], yes, when I change the channel to 36-48, it can see and attach to the 5GHz network. 149-161 cannot. I'm embarrassed to say I've never taken a logcat before. After a little research, I tried taking one with Catalog, but I'm not sure I was able to grab anything useful for you. (I started with the wifi off, turned on logcat, turned on wireless, let it sit for a minute, saved the log). I couldn't figure out how to attach to the bug report itself, so I will try to attach to this post. Hope it's helpful.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
For logcat from a pc, try this tutorial:

Then have a look at pastebin.com. you can paste the output on this site. It will generate a link that you can put on the bug report.

Amazing...

This is brilliant; though I don't owe a fire phone; (it makes me feel to get one) :P

You did a brilliant job on this. keep it up. Hope to see more CM builds soon.
[Amazon Fire Phone] killer_whale:
Just installed on your build on 02 Locked phone using 4.6.1 - so far so good. Would be great if you can describe issue with the flash better in description. I don't see any issue with flash so far
[Amazon Fire Phone] keinam.ty:
Just Rooted and installed CM11 without any issues - very surprised and happy. This was competed on an unlocked fire phone with 4.6.1 OS or whatever is the latest at this time.

thus far, everything works on t-Mobile with LTE.

I only witch the buttons would be "configurable" - or perhaps I am just confused with setting up physical virus soft buttons. Also "Camera" physical button cannot be used i think.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Baconrind:
new build

Thanks for the great work. Worked like a charm . When do you anticipate posting a new build addressing the few remaining bugs?

Thanks again

Bacon

ggow mentioned he'll have a newer build within the next few days. :good:
[Amazon Fire Phone] russy23:
what camera is everyone using, do all camera apps get the washed out look??
[Amazon Fire Phone] transentient:
FYI ... I switched my runtime to ART and that's not working out so well. It seems like the phone crashes when it sleeps and you have to hold the power button for 30 seconds to bring it back up.

I am actually going to reflash this evening so I can get the SuperSu .zip file in the boot slot along with CM11 and the HDX gapps. If I try ART again I will try to take some logs and see what is up.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
On my device: 0.00 (zero) problems with ART runtime, but I agree, try it again and do some logging, hopefully with less trouble this time.

Another observation: Switching the runtime had almost no impact on the rate of "Play services" crashes.

May I suggest one thing since you're testing: Try these minimal GAPPS first before you switch back to HDX gapps and see how well they work.

Please visit the OP to download the most suitable GAPPS. With these I had next to no crashes compared to HDX and my own minimal Play Store pack.

P.S. I know you are a CM "first timer", so do what you like, pardon me (for begging). ^^

Fling camera app suddenly works?! o.O

And BYTHEWAY it takes better quality pics than open camera although doesn't have as many options. I recommend everyone to go check it out and say what you think.

Logcats until now have shown me that the camera service starts in every camera app at least :) even those that show only a black screen or crash(good sign?).
[Amazon Fire Phone] MortaLPortaL:
fling? could you link us?

Pokemon Go support?

Hey guys, I got the June update of CM-11, and I assume I'm not the only Fire Phone user on Pokemon Go, but I'm having an issue with its AR view feature. Whenever I encounter a Pokemon and have the AR view on, the entire background is black, save for the Pokemon itself (pictures enclosed). Gyroscope should be fine as I can move my phone around and the Pokemon moves around accordingly, so I'm assuming it's an issue with the camera itself? I figured it has something to do with the default camera app, so I set up Snap Camera as the default camera app, but the same thing is still happening.
[Amazon Fire Phone] charly394:
Snap Camera works as a camera application itself but it has no influence on in app camera views. Just like with eg. MSQRD app the entire view is black and/or the application crashes.
[Amazon Fire Phone] RollingHaro:
Are there any alternative camera apps you could recommend?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KalROFL:
To clarify, when you set Snap Camera as the default camera, it means that whenever Android tries to use the camera, it will use Snap Camera. However, any individual app will use whatever camera it's set to use unless you can configure it in the app. This can't be done in Pokémon Go, as far as I know, so you're stuck.

If you don't mind me asking, how does the game play overall with AR turned off on the Fire Phone?
[Amazon Fire Phone] RollingHaro:
Ah, my mistake. As for the game on the Fire Phone, it works pretty well considering the occasional server crashes.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KalROFL:
Awesome, thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] derwalasu:
I tried it with the Fire Nexus Rom and it works as well. Now i can use my cycling sensors with the Fire Phone, perfect!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Alfre97:

I want to increase the volume of my speaker in call? How can I do it?

Thanks! And sorry for my English!
[Amazon Fire Phone] romario3600:
you should be able to use the volume rocker to increase in call volume during a call, the changes should be permanent unless you change them again
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:

remove screen protector.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
thanks...I have glass screen protector on ...is there any other way to solve this problem?
[Amazon Fire Phone] zerbey:
Just remove it, I've had my Fire Phone bouncing around in my pocket for two years and there's not a scratch or a ding to be found on the screen.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
Same here. I removed my (plastic) screen protector a few weeks ago, as it had some scratches while the (unprotected) phone's back had not. - Nothing happened since then ...

[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
just remove it... now I know again thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Same, the phone is highly durable in my opinions, very well constructed.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
Constructed? What about dust in camera....
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
None here on either of my Fire Phones. What did you do to yours? lol
[Amazon Fire Phone] KalROFL:
Is anyone here experiencing Play Services draining the battery significantly?
[Amazon Fire Phone] zerbey:
Yes, happening to everyone. Apps that use location services seem to be the main trigger so either reboot after using them or disable it.

I've had some success with force killing apps like Ingress after use, but it's not 100% reliable.

End of the road?

Hey [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION],

I originally thought perhaps your laptop was still having issues, but then I noticed multiple CM11 roms didn't update with the July security patches.

I tried a few web searches but couldn't find anything of relevance...Did CyanogenMod stop pushing updates to the CM11 branch (I saw they just laid off 20% of their workforce) or perhaps we've reached the end of Google's 3 year Security update commitment?

Definitely not asking for an ETA. Just curious if you foresee development has ended on this phone.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Definitely not the end of the road:

My laptop is fine.

Got a lot going in life at the moment, however that been said I am currently working on the following for the Firephone:

- Lollipop version - not sure is it is technically fully feasible - but won't know unless I carry on working on it - it may not even run properly or suffer battery life issues but again won't know unless I try. It's still very much early days

- Also researching a lot on the camera issues

- Security updates will happen in the next few days maybe when I get a free moment.
[Amazon Fire Phone] axel2230:
Let us know when you have the lollipop version up and running, even if barely. I would love to try it out for fun and some testing. :) I've been running the CM11 ROM for almost a whole year till I broke my phone, that is until recently I fixed it up and I'm back. I certainly appreciate the effort, I remember well when the battery drained in June or July's version of last year and I certainly remember when you fixed NFC near the end of the year. I can't forget the gapps issues too, I haven't seen any for so long I had forgotten they were there a year ago. Slowly but surely you have given life to this phone and improved it. Thanks for the hard work ggow.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
Then the Honor 5X I impulse bought during Amazon's Prime Day sale will remain in it's box for awhile longer. :D Seriously though, the 5x is a great phone at $120, but with it's 5.5" screen, just doesn't fit as comfortably in my jeans pocket as my trusty Fire phone.

Thanks, Mate. :good:
[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
any solution for this? i am using open gapps pico and i can install every other google's app without any problem.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
This is due to an ID conflict. Install from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-5-12-127519458-release-android-apk-download/

From here on out it should work and be also able to update...
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Looking forward to the continued support, however I thought it was impossible to get lolipop on the fire phone due to the locked bootloader, no? I've also been a long time supporter of this rom on the fire phone, sure it's had more ups than downs, keep up the great work sir!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
ooops silly me and thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- It's is pretty much impossible to get it running normally without an unlocked bootloader.

- But I have had a thought which may amount to be a slim chance that I am looking into at the moment
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
There hasn't been any change in the cm-11 repo's in the last month, but I will port across as much of Google's latest security bulletin (July) as soon as I can.
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Looking forward to it. :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] senax79:
Hi,

I noticed that "Simple Camera" on the f-droid repository works absolutely flawless.

Flash is working an not over exposing + switching between front and back works without crash.

As the name suggests, this is a very simple app, but at least it works.

Hope that helps someone else :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] DarthVesh:
Cool! Thanks! It's also available on the Google Play Store ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.camera ) I've just installed it
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Cheers

Just installed it too and it works great without flash although flash is still overexposing for me unfortunately.

Did you change any settings ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] DarthVesh:
I haven't changed any settings or used flash so don't have enough to say with flash. I have also kibble taken pictures indoors so not sure how well it will handle sunlight
[Amazon Fire Phone] alikashan:

Wifi not working after installing cm11
[Amazon Fire Phone] Alle9ne:
I was able to install CM11 on my Fire Phone but forgot to install SU for root. Later I tried to root the phone with Kingroot but was not successful. Is there a way to root the CM11-FirePhone? Thanx!
[Amazon Fire Phone] jman315:
Flash supersu from safestrap.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Alle9ne:
Unfortunately I am not able to install safestrap without root (or am I?).
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
there are many versions of Kingroot try the latest one... kingroot will root your Firephone believe me it might take a few attempts to success.
[Amazon Fire Phone] henningspruth:
This statement confuses me - how can you install CM11 without first rooting the phone? Once you have installed CM11, you can install supersu directly via the recovery. The security hole that allows Kingroot to work may have been fixed in CM11.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zerbey:
It's already there, after the Amazon logo appears you'll see the Safestrap screen. Tap Recovery then flash the SuperSU zip.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Alle9ne:
Thank you all! I should be more patient. Yes, safestrap was already there but now there is a problem with updating the binaries of SU. Seems there is a known issue with Kingsroot and the (one) solution Supersume.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zerbey:
If you've already flashed CM-11 then KingRoot is gone. Follow the instructions on the first post to flash SuperSU and then install the GUI from the Play Store.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cmb6:
I have lost mobile tethering since the last update. Everything appears normal from my phone's end, but other devices can't detect the hotspot.

[Amazon Fire Phone] cmb6:
Thank you for letting me know. After reading your reply, I did another dirty flash. Fortunately, my wifi tethering works properly again.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zerbey:

[Amazon Fire Phone] mcclarnon:
Have you been able to figure anything out? Google Play Services battery drain is making the phone almost unusable. If I attempt to use the old GAPPS you talked about, won't it just update to the new version anyways? Just curious! Thanks for all that you do!

New Build is Up

- Dated 06 August 2016

- Ported August 2016 Security Patches

- There will be no more updates from Cyanogenmod in this ROM.

- Going forward I will implement/backport fixes etc as necessary
[Amazon Fire Phone] henningspruth:
Thanks, ggow!

Out of curiosity, could you elaborate why there won't be any more Cyanogenmod updates? Have they end-of-lifed Android 4.4, or is it taking up too much of your bandwidth?

By the way, I enabled encryption on my phone yesterday. The actual encryption took maybe 10min and I have not seen any issues with the phone since. The CPU seems to be more than up to the task of handling the extra load.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- There hasn't been much activity within the cm-11 repositories recently.

- Googles July's security updates have only started to appear in the last day few days

- It's quicker for me to implement the security updates locally, then we can have them at the beginning of the month

- If life wasn't so busy then I would contribute directly to CM-11 base instead but time pressures are persistent at the moment.

- Various bits of this ROM have been modified from the base cm-11 so seems the natural way to go
[Amazon Fire Phone] JDubbed:
Anyone tried nfc yet? Just got some whiztags and turned nfc on in settings. I cannot get any app I've downloaded to read/write the tags. It's like it's not even working. Is there any trick to it?

[Amazon Fire Phone] zerbey:
NFC works fine for me. Try a newer build, yours is quite old.
[Amazon Fire Phone] thang_legend:
thank you so much for this rom, it's very good. But if you can build cm13 for fire phone it's much better
[Amazon Fire Phone] henningspruth:
Except for the problem that I can't update the ROM now : Safestrap can't see the downloaded ZIP file since the /sdcard directory is also encrypted. Now that I think about it, I seem to remember that this had already been reported. :(

Is it possible to work around this issue, maybe store the downloaded ZIP file in a different partition?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
Have you tried using the "ADB Sideload" option inside Safestrap?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
ADB sideload won't work either. The only option is to do a complete wipe and start again.

The best option for safestrap is to stay unencrypted.
[Amazon Fire Phone] henningspruth:
ggow, with the phone connected to the PC I was able to boot into Safestrap, use adb push to copy the CM-11 and gapps ZIP files to /cache, and then install the ZIPs from Safestrap as usual. This seems to have worked fine, the only anomaly was that on first boot I was asked to select the default launcher again.

Does this sound like a viable method or was I just lucky?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- That sounds like a good solution :good:

- Yes that can happen if your using a different launcher, which launcher are you using?
[Amazon Fire Phone] henningspruth:
I use Trebuchet. Thinking about it, this may not be related to encryption at all: when upgrading CM1,1 I also installed the latest gapps - maybe they contained a newer version of the Google Now launcher, which triggered the question.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Yes, you hit the nail right on the head there with the launcher question :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] Hackashaq:
Hi ggow, can quadroot vulnerability be patched on cm11? Here is the quadroot checkpoint scan result:

Thanks for all you do for this community!

Hi Hackashaq,

No unfortunately not. These vulnerabilities are either kernel ones or Qualcomm proprietary lib ones for which we cannot modify.

Left aligned date on lock screen

Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to change alignment of the date under the clock on the lock screen. Currently the date is left aligned but it was center aligned in earlier versions. I looked around and I do not see any config option. The same date is center aligned if clock shown as a widget in the launcher.

Am I missing some config option?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
Did anyone else notice that the phone uses a data connection during boot although "data" is turned off? I got a message from my provider which says "We booked a daily data flat for you" after rebooting but did not turn on data connection manually (this happened twice now).

Haven't seen that in previous versions.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
No problem here.

Run a malware checker.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jimjack:
I think thats right.

With my Fire phone there was also a 0,01 EUR cost with data transfer. I saw it on Data connection is turned off.

the data transfers are daily with 1...2KB.

I will observe it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
Found nothing.

I think it's Google. GPS receiver is started after or during boot as well and won't stop until I force close Play Services. THIS is gone after I flashed an older version of OpenGapps (2016-07-26). I will find out about data connection tomorrow after my daily flat from today run out.
