Signal to noise ratio

Since at least 20 pages back, the SNR is very low in this thread. Many people report problems which are, most likely, of their own making. I am on 0329 and am having none of the problems described here. No data or APN problems, no battery drain problems, no GAPPS problems, no random reboots, no hangs or boot loops.

Please folks, to improve this forum SNR, here are some general tips:

Using custom kernel? Please don't report any problems. Your own choice to run an unsupported configuration.

Using xposed? Same as above.

Flashing SuperSU? You guessed it, same as above.

Using cyandelta instead of properly downloading and flashing complete builds (this one, I really don't understand why people want to risk using, obvious source of potential problems)? Yep, your own choice. No need to announce non-standard methods causing problems to the rest of the world.

APN problems after flashing? Try an extra reboot right after the first one. Has always solved any no connectivity moments for me. I just let the phone start after it has optimised etc., and first thing I do is reboot. I did see that sometimes it would report no SIM or other issues. All fixed just by rebooting. No need to toggle flight mode, edit APN settings or anything. Just saying.

GAPPS problems? Did you flash the GAPPS at the same time as the CM build? This one is pretty obvious, but seems to have to be repeated. As well as: you DO NOT need to flash GAPPS every time you flash a new CM build of the same major version, that is.

etc. etc.

Z00A, 4/16GB. CM13 latest, no problems.

Totally not the case. Ignore.

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------

Agreed, no big problems, if handled correctly.

APN problems? See my observations above. Also, I always wipe the caches, even if the general consensus is that this is not necessary. Well, it takes about a second and I had no problems.

No one us responsible for solving app issues.

Making the same post over and over with no useful information is not helping yourself or anyone else.

Most likely you have an app going crazy. Lots of ways to figure that out which you can find in this thread and all over the internet.

Simple test, factory reset and install nothing and verify things work right before installing anything else.

I have a question.

I tried to relock my bootloader again and i've installed the stock rom using some tutorials over the net..i tried so many times that i lost count..because the boot screen remais white. However, i've tried to install cyanogen again but this time when the phone boots i get an error with the droid icon. Does that mean that the bootloader is locked?

Quick update on my mobile data issue. Finally got it straightened out! Called my service provider for some APN details. Already got it set up as per their instructions, but still didn't work. Probably some wrong APN data input. What I did was, I flashed the stock ROM back, tested out if my mobile data worked out of the box. Well, it worked right away as expected, so I took note of the APN it was using by default. Flashed back to CM13, and mimicked the APN settings to the dot. Tried it out, then viola! Worked like a charm!

So..... My bad, sorry about that. Hope this helps other (if any) that are experiencing the same issue as I am! :D
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] aytex:
Also having this problem, so its not just you

im using 26/3 as well
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] miki117:
Looks like an app is eating up the battery and keeping the phone awake. Try charging to 100% then wait for it to drain down to around 70% on idle. If you can, down to 50% for more data. :) Check your battery stats afterwards and see what's draining the battery. I had spotify drain my battery once because of some "mediaserver" stuff found on my battery usage. Sadly, I don't remember how I remedied that one.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] miki117:
Try looking at "Prevent accidental wake-up" in the Display & Lights settings. When enabled, this prevents the screen from waking up when there's something blocking your prox. sensor. Originally, I thought that this is just for the double tap, but I've just tested it out and it also prevents the screen from waking up from pressing the power button. Try turning that off and see if it you still get the issue. :good:

experiencing mobile data issue

Hi! I'm experiencing the same issue with mobile data. I'm getting the exclamation mark on my signal bars when connected to mobile data. It's really a hassle not being able to use my data package registration since it kinda tells you that you are not subscribed to a mobile data package where in fact I did. I tried to reset my apn settings to default but still getting the same issue. I hope you can help me on this one, I really don't want to go back to stock zenui since I know it already works with stock rom. Hopefully someone out there could help me out. Thank you! Peace!
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] miki117:
This might be an APN issue as well. Resetting it back to default settings won't do you good. The best thing to do without getting back to stock is to call your carrier/service provider for specific APN settings. In my case, I've had more success flashing it back to stock than calling my carrier/service provider. I went back to stock, took note of all the details from the working APN, flash CM13 back, and add a new APN with the details I've copied from the stock rom over to the CM13 rom. It's a hassle, but once you've got the details, it'll be a breeze. Better keep it handy though, there are some here that reports losing the APN on every update.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] luisoman2000:
There is no known way to relock the bootloader.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
There really is no such thing as "default" apn settings. Every carrier has their own unique settings for apn. You need to either call them or check out their website to get the ones for your sim.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] lu89:
after a wipe chache and dalvik and factory reset I set the right apn (search on your carrier web page or on google)and zf2 it's reborn! everything works, signal is strong, also google camera works great! battery life is good (10-15 hours with 3-4h screen on time).

sorry if I crack your nuts.

thank you everyone!

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Luq4dmin:
Want to suggest about the dual sim card management. Just a suggestion. About the preferred sim for data, can u just make the 1st sim as default data sim and make it unchangeable, since the 2nd sim cant even support mobile data. Better make it unswitchable like in asus stock rom, because whenever i change my 1st sim to another sim, it change the preferred data to 2nd sim automaticly and become unusable, and need to manually change the preferred data back to 1st sim, then need to reboot the device to make both sim functional again. I'm just suggesting for it. Sorry if it is a heavy request. Thanks :)
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
You forgot the ">" in the logcat command. That would have redirected the output to the txt file. Then you can just attach that to your post instead of pasting all that into the thread.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] beamscotty:
You are always allowed to ask, whether you get an answer is a different story. This is not your (nor anybody's) personal help desk.

This is most likely a provider issue. APN settings are usually read from the SIM when first initialising/inserting a new SIM. Check the correct settings with your provider, they may have changed from what was stored on the SIM.

EDIT: I see in a later post that you indeed solved it by googling for your providers correct/current APN settings. Self help is the best help.

TuneIn hogs my battery, unless I adjust its permissions to block location (GPS) settings and start at boot, among other things. I also run AdAway which will block it from flipping ads at me all the time which consumes data and drains power as well. Works well even with those blocks.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] jrior001:
For those of you that are finding issues with the default(or included) APN choices, and have solved your issues by manually building in a specific APN please shoot me the info on the correct APN in a PM. We can try to get Cyanogenmod's APN list updated as needed. This phone in particular has seen more worldwide usage than a lot of devices but we can only test on the 2 US networks.

Ok so i just tried what you suggested and it's not recognizing my device. but it's not just that but for any command.

Cm Downloader now has x86 support. It works perfectly.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] dpowers2:
What's the benefit of using this to update over the regular way?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Heavybullets:
The download size is only about 40 MB since it just grabs the charges and applies them, instead of the full 300-400 MB. You can set it to flash other things after the ROM that have to be flashed each time, such as xposed and supersu (systemless). And more. But those are the main points.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] dpowers2:
hm. so i reflashed my original rom again to try cmdownloader to update but i have the same problem again where it will install just fine but not move past the cm logo in the booting process. :/

Anyone know why i can't get this to work? Thanks for all the help so far.

On the latest 30/16 build, I 'm facing an issue where some files that I stored on my sd card are now missing(except for some). I know they aren't deleted because the storage capacity reflects the high usage. Anyways, is there a fix to this? or must I use chmod or something?

And i too faced the bootloop issue. what i did was to power off and on and that seemed to work(at least for now)

I'm interested in 3 questions.

Question 3: you plan to use Viper FX instead of AudioFX?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Sayan44:
Answer to your Q1.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] jrior001:
1. Answered already

2. Not thing right now but keep in mind stability out ranks performance. Quick charge works fine, just the battery icon is not proper. Eventually we'll get to this but not high ranking issue.

3. No, audioFX is heavily modified for CM and it's here to stay.

I never get any signal back after losing it (did a clean flash early Feb I think, and it's been like that since I first installed CM in January). No Xposed, no SuperSU, no custom kernel.

I sometimes have to turn airplane mode on then off twice in a row to get it back, which is a bit frustrating. So kickeron12, you're not alone… Happens to me every single day, several times (basement, underground etc.). I'll provide logs later if yours aren't enough.

Can anybody confirm if they actually do get signal back after losing it?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
I work in the mountains where I loose signal off and on all day. But it always comes back without a problem. I've only been using CM for a couple of weeks and I've been keeping up with the nightlies too. Never had this issue (or the gapps one either). Maybe we should look at what other app you guys have installed. Maybe there's a conflict there somewhere.
