Actually seeing the same: most downloads fail integrity test after fully downloading.

I'm downloading the Google camera APK from APK mirror and it keeps crashing none stop, is there a way to fix this,l? Or should I just use the old one ( even older updates didn't work,I'm stuck with the one from the gapps)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] filipexda:
Ok, so I took courage and installed the latest nightly and I'm experiencing a weird behaviour of LOS. It still disconnects after 5 minutes but if I turn it back on again it won't disconnect anymore. And I got my signal power back! Is it supposed to work like this?

ok i dont think i noticed this, nor did i had this on 20170609 i was on previously. i flashed last midnight and so far so good.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] filipexda:
I'm having battery problems with 20170623. Last night I left my phone with 35% battery and this morning when I woke up it was discharged. I dirty flashed the last three versions, could be that the cause? It was working well on the last two.

Regards,

Filipe
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MJay99:
35% to next morning would have only ever worked without mobile and wifi data for me. Otherwise, some possible options are also: an app maybe running haywire or the battery reaching its end... that's not ruling out any ROM issues, of course.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] filipexda:
I've already clean install 20170623. Let's wait and see how it goes. For now I can tell that wifi isn't disconnecting anymore, which is strange. It would be nice if one of the DEV's could enlighten us on this. Anyway I've got a backup of last working ROM.

Thanks,

Filipe
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] afterglow:
well i do have some battery problems but i dont think they are rom related. i clean installed 2 nightlies and my battery even though its a new one it doesnt perform better like one. (i bought it as original samsung battery for 8€ but i know its not original. The proper ones are impossible to find, the market is full of fakes but anyway) my phone will just shutdown or reboot for no apparent reason or it might be at 90%-reboot- and then be at 50% or so.....weird things. My problem is that i cant find original battery so as to eliminate the battery factor.

im on 20170623 now and so far i had only 1 sudden shutdown while the battery was around 95%.

ideally when fully charged it will only go down about 8% during my 8hours of sleep. that is without data/wifi or anything strange.

wifi

Hello,

I've done clean install month ago and now again with latest build lineage-14.1-20170623-nightly-serranoltexx.

Wifi never works. It shows MAC as 02:00:00:00:00:00, which is not correct

and it cannot connect. I've updated baseband to I9195XXSCQA6, but it did not help.

I have encrypted storage. I know there was a bug in early CM 13, where gsm did not

work with encrypted storage. Any help with this would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] filipexda:
Sometimes the camera shoot button or something else won't work and I can't take a picture. It's random, I can't find a cause for it. All this on 20170623.

weather providers now available in extras here

https://download.lineageos.org/extras

(PS: I used the migration tool to move from CM13 and the cLock weather app always worked for me :cowboy: think I might do a clean flash to remove anything like this as I also noticed recently the old supersu files were still there as well)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
Thanks for the heads up IronRoo!

Yahoo weather started working for me a little while back...although I'm not sure if I downloaded something to make that happen. I'll take a look at these other downloads though, which I assume will be more official. Do you have a preference for any one provider?

Incidentally, when touching the weather to show the 4-day forecast popup, I notice that the refresh button does not have any effect (it moves a little but, that's about it), presumably because the feature is not fully implemented?

---------- Post added at 04:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 AM ----------

Just installed the Yahoo provider I had (it was from Cyanogenmod), and installed the three providers on the LineageOS page. I'll test each one to get a feel for accuracy. Currently waiting for OpenWeatherMap to approve my API key.

New release of ROOT addonsu dated 2017/06/26, as well as weather providers

---------- Post added at 03:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------

I haven't flashed new providers yet so can't say. But my current weather widget was working fine, drop down & update, but as I said it was a "dirty migration" from CM13. One strange thing though was I couldn't get the widget to work in Hong Kong recently but it worked fine in Macau, a ferry ride away? (yahoo provider)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
OpenWeatherMap working well after re-entering location. The refresh button appears to work properly now, too.

---------- Post added at 04:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 AM ----------

I also tried the updated Yahoo weather for my area, and it was completely off compared to the reality outside, and even the results provided by Yahoo.co.jp.

It seems some elements of the UI need to be updated. The "Add weather providers" entry opens the Play store, searching for "cyanogenweatherprovider" instead of taking me to the extras page. Presumably these updated APKs wil be available from the Play store in the future?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JohnSoong:
I am using Yahoo from the play store (from CM 13 days, that was the only choice). It is not terrible accurate, plus half the time it is "unable to reach your weather provider" when refreshing.

I will try the open weather next.

---------- Post added at 03:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 AM ----------

I have been having similar battery problems for the last year or so. This had been the case since CM 13, so I don't think it is ROM related. The original battery works well till it reaches 30% (discharging 1% per hour on standby), but at 30% it will quickly drop (some 1-2% per minutes even on standby) and the phone shuts off at ~ 20%.

I bought a new battery, and it was good for ~ 2-3 weeks. But now it is doing the same thing, except that the new battery will discharge quickly to zero starting at ~55%. (I am pretty sure this is a fake battery. My local Samsung store told me they don't get the S4 battery any more .... implying that Sammy stopped making the battery and that I should be getting a new phone!)

Long story short: I think it is a bad battery when the phone shuts off even when battery meter still indicate charge. I have actually measured the voltage of my battery and it is lower than it should ... 4.05V rather than 4.2V at 100%, and when phone shuts off it is 3.5V (rather than 3.8V as it should be at anything more than 5 or 10% charge.)

Hello!

When I try to use speaker phone no one can hear me... but when I send voice messages or a normal call the microphone works ok... is a rom issue or it's hardware problem? tks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] afterglow:
yeah thats exactly my case too....less than 50% and nothing is guaranteed. the phone might just go down to 30or 20% really fast and then just shut down...and then there are the random reboots whenever and for no apparent reason. i do too think theres battey issue here instead of ROM issue but its difficult to make out. ill phone up local samsung call desk to see what they are on about new original 9195 battery..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Mascarponi:
Have you tried battery calibration tool ?

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1024867
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MJay99:
Seen this on stock and CM13 before: always been the battery and usually one of the 'original Samsung' ones from ebay and even regular online shops. Usually they are good for a few cycles, then degrading fast (mostly dying or the phone crashing at around 15-30%). Guess a simple test might be: if it's working stable while maybe even charging on a 500mA USB charger and decharging fast with crashes while on battery: battery issue.

Or: if battery showing fast run-down and no excessive heat (= no task at close to 100% CPU), I'd also suspect the battery.

Otherwise I've mostly seen fast decharging (on stock, and much less on CM) with bad mobile and wifi reception (usually accompanied by very excessive heat / CPU load) which makes a quick decharching quite understandable.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

Interesting... had difficulties taking photos two days ago, too - considered it being a macro (being too close and camera refocusing constantly) issue. Gonna try again tomorrow.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JohnSoong:
The tool only remove the battery stat file, which as I understand it, is automatically done when you discharge & charge a battery to 100%.

Anyways, in my case, battery calibration did nothing. From my battery voltage measurements, it seemed to me to be an inability of the battery to maintain proper voltage so the phone shuts down, regardless of what the battery %. And since this happened at different % at different times, no amount of calibration will help.

I wish there is a reputable battery maker for the phone. So many cheap fakes on-line ..... My last new one lasted all of 5 weeks. I am trying one more, but sadly, if I cannot find a reliable battery, I will have to look for a new phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] IronRoo:
I bought a 3rd party battery direct from a local battery specialist (walk in), it may be not be a Samsung but it's every bit as good (made in China). It may not be the cheapest but still much cheaper than a Samsung, not that I found one here in Australia, but there are good 3rd party ones available.

https://www.batteriesdirect.com.au/mobile/shop/product/24645/.html

(unfortunately I don't think they ship overseas due to air safety rules)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JohnSoong:
I am in Canada, I am pretty much limited to ebay or Amazon, and the batteries there are mostly cheap fakes. I am still annoyed that Samsung (we have a local Samsung store) stopped carrying parts to support a 3 year old phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ptr1968:
For new battery go to a site with reviews which are good:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MJay99:
I'd say that's a perfect example for an 'original replacement', not an 'original Samsung'....
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] afterglow:
yeah thats exactly whats going on guys, its the damn battery otherwise all would had been good and we would keep the phone running smooth and up to date for a long time but surely enough no company wants such a worthy customer by their side............ :cowboy:

by the way the battery i bought a month ago or so although it says NFC is supported it by no means is there in the battery........fake as f...

yeah battery calibration only wipes the stat file which is always wiped anyway.

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

how do you go about battery voltage measument? how did you measure?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JohnSoong:
I took the battery out of the phone (after turning it off) and measure with a multimeter. The + & - terminals are marked on the battery. [The other 2 terminals I presume are for the NFC.]

I actually went through charging a dead battery with the phone off, pull the battery out every so often, note the charge % as reported by the phone, and measure the voltage. I can then compare the Voltage vs Charge graph with published charts for Li ion cell. Interestingly, my "new" "Samsung OEM" battery has a worse curve compared to my 3 yr old battery that came with the phone. [A good battery is supposed to maintain relatively flat Voltage across the majority of the charge range (3.8-3.9V in case of Li ion) and only drop when it is near discharged - say <5% charge left.]

<For the tech nerd.. this is only an approximation. To do real charge vs Volt graph, you are supposed to wait 4 - 24 hrs after you pull the battery from the charger (so voltage will equalize across cells) before measuring the voltage ... but I don't have the patience to do that!>
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Mascarponi:
So, how to know then what's an real 'original samsung' battery?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] IronRoo:
it's virtually impossible without actually having the battery in your hand to tell, is my opinion. I'm not even sure if Samsung still make them.

There were a few videos on YouTube & some articles that give you an idea of what to look for, it's mostly "poor quality" stuff like bad printing, thin foil, different looking plastic, tight fit into phone (you must have a little movement to allow for expansion and not have to jam it in) etc etc. But of almost no use when looking at pictures on the web which are often generic anyhow.

Have you read through the battery threads on the accessory forum, a few useful posts there.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] afterglow:
by the way the only legit one (i suppose!) i found so far seems this

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/39677-of...-1900mah-standard-battery-Reviews.htm#reviews

the comments are very encouraging that this is the official one.

But i phoned up Samsung today and asked where i can get official battery and they sent me over to a local shop, an official authorised samsung dealer and i got a battery for 18€ . im going to do a full charge tonight with the phone shutdown and see what tomorrow will bring........

at least i know that today i had about 10 random reboots while using/or not the phone. lets see.

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

this is very interesting ill go down and do some measurements with the multimeter hopefuly this the weekend, Thanks for the info.!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Paspie:
Samsung batteries are always preferable though, as the electronics are designed to co-operate with the phone. They also have the NFC chip which the third-party models won't have.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JohnSoong:
I am not able to get that to work. With both Yahoo & OpenWeatherMap, the phone has problems updating. I keep getting the "unable to connect with your weather provider" message popup (which gets annoying when you are doing something), and even when manually updating (with good wi-fi, when I am surfing the net without issues), I get the unable to connect most of the time.

More annoying issue is that cLock keeps the old data and displaying it as if new. (I have 2 or 3 day old weather data displayed, with no indication that it is out dated ... so I thought that Yahoo was inaccurate.)

I simply downloaded another weather app and call it a day. But this may be something the LOS team can look at when they have time.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] rommy:
Just a quick question, everytime I try to install the last nightly via settings, LineageOS Update, it goes right till the moment to install, because when it reboots it just opens the TRWP(I have version 3.1.1) in the main screen and then nothing, I even don't know where the download file is. This just happens with me or with everybody?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] heilbron:
That's a well-known bug for most of us. As a workaround in TWRP, just go ahead and install it manually from the /data/data/net.lineageos.updater directory.

Thank you for this gift!

Thanks for bringing my little phone to life. I had thrown it aside due to lack of ROM support. Now it rocks Android 7. How awesome is that?

Have flashed. It's quite smooth. Can be used as a daily driver. Be warned occasional lags may happen.

I tried cLock with openweathermap, but I'm disappointed. Only 3 day forecast? On lockscreen (tried for this) only temperature in °F, °C would be good but even no weather images, only Text like "cloudy" for 1 day ...well, my home and office have windows, so I see how is the weather outside...

Because those weather widgets are useless, I created an own one with Kustom Widget according my needs: 6day forecast images incl. temperature min/max for each day and date/time of last update...(apk available)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] afterglow:
ok so apparently i went up to local authorised dealer that samsung indicated and they indeed sell the official original battery. bought it for 20€ and worth every damn cent.....its was the root cause for all those damn problems and reboots i had with the OEM battery i had bought 1-2 months ago for 8€....... i went from 10 random shutdowns/reboots per day and drainage back to how the phone was performing even when it was brand new. its wort it guys....i almost went up to 2 days of uptime sometimes using wifi or data, completely stable battery decrease down to 1%, no reboots at all no nothing. Seems in practice that using the correct battery is so critical after all. Piece of mind now ...thats all i can say.

to all you having weird random reboots and drainage just phone up samsung and go get a battery from their authorised dealer, its so worth it.

Then i can go back and play with our nightlies and everything...and most importantly i now have a reliable phone again :)

€20 that is cheap compared to here in Australia & that was for a 3rd party one from Battery World.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] afterglow:
yes it is indeed, but as i said it operates like the official and bought it through samsung. so all is good. even for more, 30-35€ i would still go for it cause stability and reliability kicks in again. no reason maintaining a phone then if its not operational as it should.

Guys does noone here see performance problems on this ROM?

I was on CM12, then on CM13 and now this Lineage, always official builds.

This ROM is SO SLOW that it is almost useless for daily driver.

Try to play music a download at once and then open maps for example. This worked on CM13, not here.

Battery life is surprisingly low.

Customisation much worse then CM13 (how do i add GPS toggle to quick bar??? )

It makes me cry because this phone was perfect until I installed this ROM.

MinerGate as my benchmark gives me 2 H/s which is lower than on Gsmart Roma (LOL).

Everything is laggy, screen touch latence is literally feelable.

Load web without adaway in chrome? Wait, youll get there, just dont touch anything till you get there.

This is my first sad experience with my most favourite OS.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] afterglow:
no im really surprised you say this. i would say its smooth as butter although no i didnt try music and download and googlemaps as you proposed. i have installed exactly 40 apps which are the ones i tend to use and im trying not to install any games or other **** that i dont use at all. try to be as clean as possible and keep my storage as empty as possible.

i am the clean install guy and i do a full format (/system /data partitions etc) and then i install from scratch the latest nightly and every time performance is "restored" so everything is always rather smooth.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] xdaschwallobert:
absolutely no problems with this rom, must be a wrong installation problem
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JohnSoong:
I have no major problem with this ROM ... I think this is much smoother than stock 4.4.2, and about the same speed as CM 13 before (but better battery life.)

I use Google maps (on line and off line mode) and I have no issues. Even Android Auto works (haven't tried it out in depth yet.) I have AdAway, and noted no slowdown in the Browser. (I use the Jelly browser in the ROM, but also Opera before.)

One thing I noted is that this phone is quite slow when initially loading Apps, but once you loaded it in memory, it is quick to switch. Do you have some "memory or battery optimization" app running? Those apps are useless (at least with 6 & 7), and the aggressive purging of apps actually slow down the phone (and burn through the battery to boot). The recommendation with Nougat is to just keep all apps open and let the OS manage the memory.

The other thing is your SD card. I have a 32 G class 10+ SD card. A fast SD card I think is a must for this phone if you use anything more than a few basic app.

Finally, you can also try changing the graphics options in 'developer options". Changing the animation scale can make the phone feel snappier.

And to customize the notification pane, open it all the way (long swipe down) and touch the pencil looking icon at the top. That is the edit button. (A bit different than AOSP where edit is labeled and at the bottom of the pane.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
Absolutely no complaints with the latest LOS on my 9195 here.

I'm very satisfied with the performance, especially given the age of the phone. However, I too run a very light installation (pico gapps), only a few additional apps that I frequently use, and typically close the app after use.

In fact, I would say that the quality of this rom is one of the things actually keeping me from upgrading to a newer/more powerful phone. I keeping thinking about switching to the Z3 Compact, but without a great developer like arco68 working on the official build, I'm reluctant to make the switch.

The rom *is* the reason why I still own this phone! ;)
