Hi guys,

After installing the latest beta 0305 everything seems to be working fine.

However, I started noticing that Whatsapp notifications are delayed. I keep getting the notifications for new massages only when I enter Whatsapp manually.

Did anyone noticed this issue? Do I need to turn something on in the permissions?

On beta build 20160305 everything works fine, but I have problem with microphone volume, is too low. :( I try modem I9500XXUHOD4, I9500XXUHOG2 and I9500XXUHPB1 but didn't help. Any solutions?

I think you've disabled background data under data usage menu of settings.. That's why it's happening to you..

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

Check router settings and see which channel it's using.. Make sure it's not using 11, 12, 13..

Keep channel under 10, ex: 1-9 any number.. Wi-Fi will connect..
[Galaxy S 4 General] barandeniz:
Where can i see it? because i am at work, i can not get in to router. Is there a way to see the corresponding setting at least so i will see the problem is that or not?
[Galaxy S 4 General] gp545:
Can only change it by connecting to modem like modem configuration like 192.168.1.1 etc.. Google more to know how to chane wifi router channels..

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could flash the beta version on top of the alpha version without problems, also what are the problems that still haunt us in the latest build ? Thanks ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] gp545:
Yes, you can always dirty flash, but it's recommended to preform clean flash to have ROM running without FC.

Since camera functioning now, there ain't any major one that haunts much..
[Galaxy S 4 General] mrsawi:
Thanks, I will dirty flash, hope nothing goes wrong

Is gear recovery necessary for this ROM .if yes how to install it . I have twrp 2.8.7.0 installed and am using the Indian version. Flashing modem required?

Sorry for noobish question
[Galaxy S 4 General] zozoz13:
Not necessary, but better to use it for more compatibilty. Just flash through your current recovery.

If you faced any issue with the connectivity, then install one of the recommended modem that placed on OP.

I dont want to be rude or something..but is there a chance for VOIP problem to be fixed?? I'm tired of checking about this :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] speed s:
Voip works fine here.

First You have to give permissions to the app you re using (see attachment)

And You have just to put speakers mode first then you can change to headphones

Tested with messenger and it works just fine.

Hey guys, so I recently flashed the 3/5 build on my i9500, I tried to set the SD card as internal, but when the process was finished, it told me that the SD card is corrupted, this worked with the 1/1 build, so is there a problem with this build ?

there are wifi issues, where the device seems to be reluctant to connect to a network

please provide help in these issues

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

in the opening post of the discussion, [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] in the gaaps section recommended to not install stock rom. why so?

i installed stock rom as office was off today, and that was the one i had offline( after all it is a big file for slow download speeds like 70kbps).

I have incurred virtually no problems save for a settings issue and a wallpaper issue which was present even before flashing gaaps.

I am a fan of pure android and intend on installing the super version into the device

please tell if it would be fine

also are there any other roms which support extremely pure android experiance for the gt-i9500?

thanks in advance

Unable to unlock phone with correct code

Hello all, I have a question for anyone who might help me, I am switching phone companies and when I enter the unlocking code provided by my old company, I get the message: "SIM network unlock request unsuccessful" Is it possible to unlock in GearCM 13.0?

Thanks,
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
That's something that can't be implemented on AOSP so easily due to some proprietary code. Official CM should support it anyway, because it should be using a different and old RIL.

Here is my battery usage. I don't use Mobile data in this usage. The GPlay services wakeup times are higher than usual. But, it's not affect battery usage at all.

Sent from my Galaxy S4
[Galaxy S 4 General] mukeshbaidwan:
I cannot say whats the exact cause but I believe the issue is when you keep the data active. Then the GPlay services keep using the cell radio and hence battery consumption.

Thanks for screenshots.

Anyways I have managed to hit 3 hours 45 minutes of SOT with 15 hours on a single charge. :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 General] zozoz13:
I was never keep the mobile data on because i know it'll causing battery drain. But not because of GPlay services, it was because of the signal reception.

Actually, I got less SOT because of I played Clash Royal and watched YouTube. Usually I got 3-4 hours of SOT.

Problem with Google Play Services

Hello, i flashed this rom 3 days ago, with the Gapps being minimal taken from another source, and i am having trouble with the Google play services which keeps fc-ing. Any idea why, and i cant flash the latest Gapps over it either, do i have to do a clean installlation?
[Galaxy S 4 General] mukeshbaidwan:
IF you have Gapps issue clean install the whole ROM. DO NOT dirty flash GApps. I faced a wakelock issue when i did this. Better safe than sorry.

1. Goto recovery.

2. Wipe data factory reset. Wipe cache dalvik.

3. Install ROM. DO not boot into it yet. GO to step 4.

4. Install GApps.

5. Install Modem/Xposed/Viper OR any packages you want to install.

6. Then reboot.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Woodraw:
I have no games or other apps,my sync, gps and mobile data are off. I have a donated amplify and greenify, where i turned off many apps, have an agressive doze, in security settings i turned off auto start and active mode. My governor is "powersave" and CPU settings are from 250 to 550 Mhz. I didn't rise up an enthropy .

But with all these procedures my cpu is overheating and battery drains very fast, when it's on charge- it's charging sooo slowly!

I used your light kernel, but it's worse than original kernel from rom.

Help me with it, please.

Bugs:

Advanced security settings shutting down the android settings with error

Doesn't see the sd card as a drive.

Other things seems working as best!

"Cell standby" eats too much battery. Any solutions?
[Galaxy S 4 General] aphioner:
Just try another modem.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
A full wipe will help you.

If it has been fixed properly to work on Exynos devices yes.

Just replace "libion.so" occurrences with "lib-something with 3 letters-.so".You need to duplicate "libion_exynos.so" to "lib-something with 3 letters-.so" to make this working.

Why not? :)

I know, i still have to optimize battery management.

Sure you can.

Try with another modem such as recommended ones.

You were getting it because in your ROM's build.prop, the product device written as noblelte (Galaxy Note 5).

Everything is working, except VoIP calls still broken. And the battery life is not fully optimized yet.

I still get the echo problem. The caller can hear an echo of his/her voice. .I've read many posts by i9500 owners on this issue. I couldn't find a solution. I find it really strange that an issue as serious as this one hasn't been dealt with yet. What's the point of releasing new custom roms for the i9500 with this issue unresolved.

The only custom roms that don't have this problem are stock based roms which suck bigtime.

I really love cyanogenmod and other aosp roms and would love to be able to use them. Any developers out there. We really need your help. This is an issue that all i9500 owners have . I've installed cyanogenmod on 3 i9500 phones just to make sure it's not just my phone. The echo is always there

Please help.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
Remember that i won't support anyone using unofficial fixes/kernels.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sohailss111:
Okay. And just another thought... can the overheating be because of the Big.Little cpu formation? I installed the rom and there was 6% drain in 1 minute.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
Nope, that's like a CPU bug. Our CPU, on high-load, isn't power efficient.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sohailss111:
Okay. Just 1 thing. Is the Doze mode working yet?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Sloth.M:
After using this for a few days on a fresh install, I have found that idle battery drain is fixed. This has no visible effect for screen-on power usage. Hopefully Alberto can integrate this fix into the next update.
[Galaxy S 4 General] eXd4:
After trying out the fix for battery drain at night, decided to revert back to the original ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 General] zozoz13:
The phone need to adapt to the new Android System installed. So it is going to be hotter than usual. Let the phone charged for 4-5 times to see the proper battery consumption of the ROM.

Yes. But still not optimized to the max. Battery drain while idle is better though.

Okay, trying to be as brief as possible. I started out with stock 4.4.4, then unlocked bootloader and rooted it and such. I unrooted it, then updated it to 5.0.2 LP OTA. Decided that I didn't like Lollipop, so I restored it back to stock 4.4.4 KK using the official firmware for my device (retuglb). Everything flashed okay except for the bootloader, in which it gave me "Preflash validation failed", which supposedly happens when you try to downgrade from Lollipop to Kitkat. My phone is working just fine though. So now I want to upgrade to Lollipop again via OTA. What are my chances of hard bricking the device? I just read some posts here that people bricked their Moto G2 via OTA to 5.0.2. One guy restored to stock 4.4.4 then OTA'd to 5.0.2 and it bricked his device. Will that happen to my if I OTA update my device again? Please answer. Thanks.

It could be that the ROM you are trying to flash has bootloader that is older than the ROM currently on the phone. You could try flashing the latest ROM as the latest ROM would have a bootloader, modem, etc. that is the same or newer that the bootloader currently on the phone.
