I found crucial heat problems

I found crucial heat problems

1.

when I boot it.

It warms up little bit maybe you can feel it.

screen turn on ---> enter Safestrap ---> enter CM at this process.

I think before load CM, little bit voltage setting is high

that makes it hot maybe.

2.

thermal engine could be change.

current setting got problem when i using navigation apps.

I often using it when I driving.

sunlight and indoor temperature makes it hot very quickly .

but it does not throttle it hard.

then it overheat and freeze.

soon you can discover this infinite loop process.

overheat -> freeze -> reboot(before CM it overheats more) ->freeze -> reboot((before CM it overheats more) -> freeze .....

it could be change i think.

I'm using this rom almost 3 weeks.

until now I can not found crucial problems with out that.

It is nice rom ggow :)

If there's something more that I want.

It is battery life.

now It isn't bad.

but little bit short when I play games.

32GB version for $139.99 ebay item=171855373654

if you need the extra storage however might be worth the extra $20, but I dont even use 32 so I'd rather only pay $40 after the cost of prime :P
[Amazon Fire Phone] jasonl99:
I have an observation, but I'm not really sure that there's a problem with CM11, or if it's the hardware on the phone itself.

For the first week or so of having this phone, I couldn't get more than a day of battery life, and that's with very light use. Battery Stats noted that the Phone Radio was a huge battery user. I thought maybe it was a signal problem, etc, etc.

I have a Garmin Vivoactive watch/activity tracker that maintains a Bluetooth LE connection to the phone, updating tracking stats periodically and providing notifications to the phone watch (for example, incoming calls, emails, texts). It finally occurred to me to eliminate the watch as part of the issue.

When I turn off Bluetooth, my expected battery life (using GSam and/or Battery Widget Reborn) nearly triples. So Bluetooth is definitely the cause of the battery drain. It seems to me that something related to the "Low Energy" part of "Bluetooth Low Energy" isn't working just right. Anyone else have issues with battery drain leaving a device attached all day to Bluetooth?

This definitely wasn't as big an issue with my previous phone (Moto X 2nd Gen); battery life was on par with what others were getting whether or not the watch was connected.
[Amazon Fire Phone] natter_deluxe:
I do keep my BT module active the whole time, without noting an major decrease of battery life (less than 10% compared to BT always off). However, I only use it from time to time for moving some small files to 2 different computers. I suppose that these devices do not keep a connection all the time without going into some sort of sleep mode for most of the time.

Snapchat Alternative

If you guys really want Snapchat to work download Casper. The camera works on Casper and allows you to post both on story and person to person. Video and picture functionality works perfectly unlike the Snapchat app. You just have to sign in with your google account and your snapchat name and it sign into snapchat.

[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
Thanks for all your hard work ggow! CM 11 Installation went smoothly, didn't notice anything except on the lock screen the position of the clock is kind of awkward , don't know if that's a bug or if it's something else. It also doesn't tell me the weather. Again thanks for all your hard work ! ;)

Firs of all thanks to ggow for this build, I been usening for a while and its awesome, i had only used FIre OS for less than a day thanks to you lol :laugh: .

I been trying to use google docs without success, i all ways get a Google Docs has stopped unexpectedly message, does any one been able to use this app?

Regarding the Snapchat camera issue, I have noticed that you can take pictures but the procedure is the following:

Press switch camera button (The picture gets taken at this stage :eek:)

Press the take photo button (You will then see the picture)

Hope this info is useful to you ggow, I don't have any idea of android development but maybe the order of the instructions taken place are not the correct ones.

Thanks again for this great ROM :D:D:D:D

Google Authenticator also crashes when trying to scan QR codes. I guess this is all due to the camera issues.

Saw that this morning and purchased one.

Can anyone share a link to a tutorial/post on how to flash CM11 on this phone? Which version of Safestrap to install, do I need to root first, etc?

Thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] alfick3:
I believe the original post has all the info you need for installing cm11.
[Amazon Fire Phone] smokarz:
It does somewhat.

But do I need to root the phone first, what version of Stock ROM do I need to be on, etc.
[Amazon Fire Phone] phirefone:
From the 1st post in this thread:

Fresh Installation

- From Safestrap, go into Wipe Menu and Swipe to perform a factory reset.

- Installation in the Stock Slot is Mandatory

- Flash the ROM File

- Flash PA Gapps Modular PICO

- Flash the latest SuperSU package if you want root

- Reboot

- Enjoy!

ROM OS Version: 4.4.x KitKat

ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.x

ROM Firmware Required: Stock base of .4.6.1 and Safestrap v4

Based On: CyanogenMod

Here is a thread that explains how to get Safestrap:

http://xdaforums.com/fire-phone/development/recovery-safestrap-v4-0-1-t3149888
[Amazon Fire Phone] alfick3:
It says you need the safestrap v4. There is a thread for that. Go there and that will explain how to install safestrap. That thread will also explain about the fireos version and how to root. I believe it does say to be rooted first.
[Amazon Fire Phone] phirefone:
It seems there are numerous newbies (like myself) that have a hard time with the instructions in the original post and even some of the lingo (my first dirty flash scared the heck out of me). Maybe if there was a version that is in layman's terms it would be helpful. There is a great example on reddit under /r/firephone in the thread called "Full guide: Installing Cyanogenmod on Amazon's Fire Phone" which I used. Maybe put that version here with the most up to date files? Just a suggestion.
[Amazon Fire Phone] smokarz:
Thanks all for the responses, and I agree with this post quoted above/below.

Something easy and straight forward would be very helpful.

Because of the fire sale that is going on right now on Amazon, I am sure these 'How to flash CM11' quesitons will come up quite often.

And from the OP, what exactly does 'Installation in the ROM Slot is Mandatory' mean?

How do you get to the ROM Slot? Or how do you ensure that you are in the right slot for the install? What do you need to do to get their? How do you verify it? etc.
[Amazon Fire Phone] connellr:
Here is a Youtube video of the process ... The links to the referenced files are all pretty much on the first page of this post.

ES File Explorer (download from app store)

Links to Kingroot and Safestrap can be found on this post.

Links to latest fire phone compatible CM11 build and gapps can be found on the first post of page 1 of this thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwP5cOTTTh8

(there are also some links in the description of the video)

The process is very easy, just go slow and follow the instructions on the video or this thread (you can download the files directly from phone, dont have to download to computer as mentioned in video) ... This is not a very risky install, nor are you likely to brick your phone or anything - GGOW has great instructions on how to revert should you need to in question 6 here.

And if you love it - show some love to GGOW who has put a lot of work into both safestrap and this CM11 build.
[Amazon Fire Phone] phirefone:
Safestrap can be used to load multiple ROM's so you can change back and forth. So you could have CM11 on one slot, Amazon's ROM on another, etc. and choose which one you want on boot up. That functionality is not available with this build so only one ROM can be installed at a time and it must be installed in the Stock ROM slot.

Complete novice here. I have been following this development almost since day one. I successfully installed this ROM by following all instructions provided in the first post. I also have used the ADB method to return to the stock Fire OS just once to test the instructions and recovery. I have been using the CM port as my daily driver for quite a while now and know that I will never go back to stock Fire. I have also donated a paltry sum to the develpor and will donate more each time there is an update delivered.

It did work great

Is there any way to hide soft keys in cm11 menu?

I forced it off editing a file, but to turn it back on is a little too cumbersome if i needed to switch from off and on.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Harakiri23:
Under Settings -> Sound -> Charging Sounds i have not enabled "Play a sound when connecting or disconnecting a power source"

Yet there is still a sound when i charge/remove from charge the phone.

Is this a bug or is there another setting i dont know about ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] yt400pmd:
Expanded desktop

Add it to the power menu, easily toggled
[Amazon Fire Phone] Chocolina:
But expandable Desktop doesnt set the on screen keys to disable, only hide. They'll still show if you're swiping up.

Adding a new line with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to root/system/build.prop with a text editor Will permanently disable on-screen keys. It would have been handy if there was a UI shortcut for that somewhere.

Anyway I force-disabled Screen buttons, set Double tap to recent apps, and hold button to google now. Then bought the app you suggested to set all 3 swipe from bottom gestures to mimic the back function. Now the navigation feels just like FireOS's except amazon search assistant is replaced with google and I love it.

Now my only issues are is improving the sound through my speakers. Viper4Android seems to the trick, but only in apps with a toggable dsp effect setting; so I'm having much difficulty getting V4A to work with Soundcloud or Youtube. The Dolby Digital Atmos flashable zip doesn't help at all either (It never works). Dolby Digital effects seem to be the only thing missing from FireOS that I would have thought useful.

And I'm DESPERATELY waiting waiting for a Google Play Service fix. Particularly Gmail. For some reason, the Sync settings on Gmail alone keep disabling, and as strange or as impossible it might sound, its affecting the Gmail Sync on my Galaxy S6. I thought it was strange I wasn't getting any emails over my 3 days off, I come back to work "Why didn't you respond to all those messages I sent?" I check my gmail, nothing, I refresh, 7 missed messages; I never disable sync, let alone sync for only 1 app. I don't know why that happened, but I'm blaming the rom since Gmail and Inbox have been the only problem apps for me since CM11 install. Still a great rom though. Having access to all my playstore licenses really makes my experience better.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jeffreystryker:
I am having zero issues with gmail since I switched from the built in email app to the Gmail app. Same thing with the stock text app, switched for Google messenger.
[Amazon Fire Phone] fuelvolts:
There's an option in the app. As long as you're rooted, it's two taps and a reset. You need the paid version, though.
[Amazon Fire Phone] gegangen:
I followed the instruction on YouTube to install CM11. (Look for "CyanogenMod (android) on Amazon Fire Phone Tutorial")

Mine came with FireOS 3. something and I had to upgrade to Fire OS 4.6.1. Otherwise, Kingroot would fail. I also used pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20150410-signed.zip instead of GAPPS shown in YouTube.

I use the Camera app from Google but if I have HDR on then it won't take a picture. If it's off then I can take a picture fine.

I cannot use camera in Line app for Video Call. I hope this get fixed soon. Thanx all developers.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bronnx:
First off, thank you ggow, wouldn't have purchased the phone without your cm11 build.

Bugs I've experienced aside from those listed:

Charge sound only worked once

Camera button "peek" feature from lockscreen only worked once

I've tried reflashing cm11 to no avail. Was hoping to avoid a clean slate fresh install, but will do so if no one else can reproduce.

Side note: If you swipe a dashclock extension card away on the cm home screen, how in the world do you get it back?

Have a great day...

Anyone for SlimKat?

- I have built a version of SlimKat

- Why?

- I want there to be a choice and comparison

- Should be good for people that like a lean ROM but fully featured

- SlimKat at the moment hasn't shown any signs of the Google Play Services Crash (2 days) yet - fingers crossed

- SlimKat will not improve the situation with Camera and NFC for reasons already stated.

- SlimKat boots up fast compared to CM-11

- Running it with PICO Gapps.

- Will hopefully release it as Experimental today.

EDIT:

- I just tried to buy another Fire Phone, but Amazon seems to have stopped selling them :(
[Amazon Fire Phone] ballboff:
one thing that I've found useful is that i was able to disable the onscreen soft keys at the bottom of the screen. Now, if you single click the home button, you come out of an app. If you long press the home button it brings up the task manager. I find this better to use than using the onscreen keys. Just a quick tip, if people prefer this method.

Oh, and I disabled the soft keys by rooting and then installing an app called pimp my rom. In there, I think there is a section called tools, and then navigation bar. I rooted by flashing the supersu package in safestrap recovery (which i'm assuming if you've already got the rom installed, you will have this).

My amazon phone is actually (more) useful now!!

Btw-not sure of the difference between US and UK (if any)but eBay had them yesterday around same price. There was an article on aftvnews about Amazon halting further hardware ventures and laying off a lot of engineers.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I prefer SlimKat and also plain AOSP with Xposed :)

- Will release later as my internet connection has gone choppy at the moment.

- I think CM-11 has something in the framework which is causing the Google Play Service Errors

- SlimKat has been good on both my devices for 2 days which no Google Play Service Errors

[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
Hello,

I just ordered a Fire Phone and it should be here tomorrow. I have a decent bit of experiencing flashing custom ROMs onto devices (Touchpad, Galaxy S, Moto G), but I want to make sure I do everything properly and get the best experience I can.

I noticed you said you only used Slimkat for 2 days on your devices. Would you recommend I wait for that or stick with CM11 until you have more time putting it through its paces? It seems like 2 days of use by a single person is such a small sample size I am concerned about future issues that you may not have experienced with Slimkat yet.

Also, in terms of CM11 I notice in this thread you state there are still crashes with Google Play Services. But on the reddit post you have that crossed out stating it was fixed in the 7/25 update. Is this not accurate anymore or is the thread here not accurate?

I know there are unique features to the Fire Phone such as dynamic perspective that won't work with any form of Android, which is fine with me since i heard that is a big drain on the battery life. But what about stuff like the dedicated camera button? Does that work with CM11 or Slimkat? That is the biggest hardware feature that the Fire has that I am interested in.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- yes only 2 days, however...

- it's much quicker

- more stable, no more Google play services issues

- everything that worked on cm11 also works on my SlimKat build

- I've flashed it as my main rom for daily use :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] cmb6:
Will we be able to dual boot CM11 and Slim Kat?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
So you're basically saying if you had to choose between CM11 and Slimkat. Slimkat all the way?

What about the dedicated camera button? Does that work on Slimkat? Also, I am getting the phone tomorrow, so I don't need the instructions now or today, but do you plan on having the full install instructions up sometime in the next 24 hours or so?

Thanks!

Call volume low?

I have been using CM11 without major issues for a week now.

I feel like the call volume is quite low (and so is the speaker volume) on CM11. I did not use Fire OS long enough to remember if this was the case on Fire OS as well. Does anybody feel the same? I feel like I have to press it against my ears to hear (especially when I am outside).

ggcow released SlimKat (Thanks!). Not sure if it would be different in this respect. Any thoughts anyone?

mute button

Hello:

Thank you for this awesome product. Any idea when the mute button on phone calls will be fixed?
[Amazon Fire Phone] v6ser:
Just so you know, i haven't experienced low volume on calls.

Speaker's volume does seem a bit less pumped but not really a letdown for me.

Also, quick question, are you going to keep CM11 updated or move entirely to the SlimKat build? I don't really think so, but want to be sure haha.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Rick949:
Battery life with CM11 is much better than the Fire OS.

I also have CM11 on an HTC One mini. It has the random Google Play service crash as well. Maybe it's a CM11 issue?

I just tested the mute button on the 8/10 build and it doesn't mute. It could be awkward if you don't realize it's not working...

The AOSP keyboard swype function works now. Thank you!!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I will be keeping CM11 updated
