I agree. No device out there is getting 4 days of moderate use on a single charge. On the current 14.1 build with mobile data disabled but Wi-Fi on (my daily driver is a Z2F now) I get 16 hours max, and that's with about 10 min of use. I've used LOS on the S5 since CM13 and never experienced anything close to 2 days, much less 4.

Not that I'm complaining, though. Anything that gets me through a work day or a full night out (8 to 9 hours) is OK for me. 6 hours is the bare minimum I need. I get kinda peeved when people kvetch about their phones not lasting for eternity as if spare batteries (for the S5), power banks, and electrical outlets don't exist.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
With normal usage I get 50% per day. No gapps though. However, on standby it will last well over a week, 16 days without any polling apps, like e-mail etc. Whatsapp may well trash all this, I don't use it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] schufti:
Obviously the bad performance of nowadays android has allready clouded your minds.

Go back to stock KK and see for yourself.

Without any greenify etc. I got ~4 days with moderate use, which I define as having

2 email accounts polled every 30min

whatsapp

3-4 phonecalls of 5min

~5 texts

occasional webbrowsing for the next tram/bus/underground

no games, no movies, no streaming, no mp3s

per day on network during bussinesshours and wifi during the rest.

The same usage (life didn't change due to LOS14.1) I get hardly 1.5 days from the same phone.

I regret that I never made a screenshot from the battery stats on KK.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Cyanogengod:
Yeah, 4 days still sounds nonsensical.

You are talking about an S5 which has a 2800mA battery. The usage that you are describing, especially without a custom kernel tuned for battery life, KK or any ROM will not allow you more than 8-10hours of use on that phone.

Not calling you a liar, but you obviously don't quite remember the actual time frame.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] systemcrash:
Hello, can any dev ( [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION] ) confirm whether the klte series of ROMs are baked with:

-802.11r FT (Fast Transition) enabled?

If not, could they enable it, pretty please?

Edit: Is it affected by the recent KRACK patches?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] systemcrash:
No problem, here. 1080p60, 720p60, full synch.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Cyanogengod:
Yeah, figured it out.

Only one account per device or 60FPS will be restricted.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
I'm watching my battery consumption for a long time now and the typical drain (with GApps installed) is about 2%/h without using the phone but running WhatsApp and synchronizations. And about 16%/h when using the phone with display on. Everyone can calculate for themselves what the result will be.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Cyanogengod:
It is physically impossible to achieve such a result with a 2800mA battery, especially with the usage that you are describing, please understand.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] schufti:
if YOU say so .... *plonk*
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] t_house:
I have to agree with some of the people on here talking about lag and performance issues on the 1/25 nightly. I normally don't say much because I usually chalk up everyone's complaints as user error/stupidity. However, last night I updated to the 1/25 nightly and today alone I've had my phone freeze up and restart 6 times. This happened with no apps running other than the phone or text app that is from gapps. So, there may actually be something to all the lag talk. And btw, 4 days on a single charge never happened on this phone. Absolute impossibly unless the extreme power saver was turned on.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mattnin:
:p
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] phalkon30:
Yeah, I've posted similar screen shots to that too. But that's like 30 minutes SOT with Greenify at max, no sim card, and wifi sleep on screen off

In real world use I've never gone over 2 days with stock rom and an active cell connection
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mpower25:
Something funny happened to me.

Today I found those customization options for the home screen and began to meddle with them.

Turned off icon labels, chose condensed grid size, and so on.

The phone immediately began to present a lot of issues. Restarted once while on Facebook, and some apps which never froze are now erratic.

Does anybody else experience something like that?

Audio fx

Hello, just rigth now I install update lineageos 14.1 (1/2/2018). The audio FX app doesnt work with the eleven músic player still. Only works with VLC for android. I really like eleven music player. I like lineageos pure in my galaxy s5. There is a way to fix it?

Hello [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION],

I am using the latest Version of LOS 14.1 on my 900f.

With the latest, all!! Email Apps are forceclosing. And like in the Version before substratum does not work propperly

Is there any Solution
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Psyvhward:
900v

14.1 nightly

I use straight talk unlim plan 4glte

My download speeds are horrifically slow . (been an issue since I installed ROM) I contacted ST to have them update my apn's and what not. Any suggestions? I really like this ROM so removing it is not an option...

P.s first post (kinda new to this ) so sorry if I suck at giving details .
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] systemcrash:
No, I started with things like this from day one. Go to recovery and clear cache - since those settings are impacted by cache, I believe. Facebook is a massive bug/security hole, which sucks up your private info without your permissions - uninstall it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
I also don't have any problems with the current LOS release (so far). What bothers me more is that the HDR functionality of the camera chip has not been restored to this day! :mad:

I would also strongly recommend that you empty Dalvik/Cache with every update. I'm doing this basically. The first start takes much longer, but there are no problems afterwards.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Medyredy:
Is LA15.1 out for the s5?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] cdrivex4:
Speaking of lag, when you have the phone USB tethered to PC there is 13% packet loss from PC to router.

On pc try and do too many things at once and programs get starved of a connection to internet. On the phone though no drop in pings.

Anyone got any ideas about how to improve this lately phone can't seem to handle this well.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
No it's not, but you will find an Unofficial versions here from the S5 developer. Remember that it lacks cosmetics and LineageOS extras like Privacy Guard etc. These are being worked on. Make sure that you avoid Magisk and SuperSU etc. avoid Gapps too as it installs its own version of system apps which makes testing difficult. If you come across problems post them in this DIFFERENT forum along with a logcat.

To install, ensure you are running the latest firmware using Odin/Heimdall. Make sure that TWRP is upto date also. Format /data properly (where you have to type 'yes' to continue) and wipe the other partitions. Then flash the unofficial zip.

Edit1: Please note the the link in the post at the top of the page is NOT the official LineageOS site, take extreme care downloading anything at all from there. The link in this post is directly to the lead S5 developer.

Edit2: and as cyanogengod just won't shutup about his favourite site this is what the LineageOS Official Reddit says about them and 15.0.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Roubbenn:
Hey guys. Anyone else experiencing call droppings? I'm on a 9008w, latest update. The call doesn't always drop, I just can't hear the other person. I have to hang up and call again, then it works fine. Would updating the modem help? If so, can anyone tell me where can I get it?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Paul_Lunardi:
Hi there

I was playing a game earlier badminton league and it crashed. I closed the app. Thereafter the system ran really really slow for a little bit. As I've experienced done performance issues of late I thought I'd upload the logcat. Anyone else experienced similar issues. Not sure whether it was due to crash but just thought I'd get an opinion first.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
Maybe. Try it! Please search this thread for "modem bootloader". You will find endless posts concerning this topic.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ShahabJafri:
Dang I just updated to the new nightly and the phone can't start afterwards now. The Galaxy S5 screen comes up and I see "Set warranty bit: kernel" and then it crashes and goes into the same bootloop all over again. Not able to put in Recovery mode or Download mode (same thing happens). Any idea how to keep myself from buying a new phone?

Whoops looks like I managed to boot it in recovery. Lemme download the latest file and flash it again.

[Edit 2] And we are back in the business. Dunno what went wrong last time but be wary of using "LineageOS Downloader" app now.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Cyanogengod:
The exact same thing happened to me with the latest nightly. It's because of a dirty flash instead of wiping everything clean first. Usually it doesn't matter, but this time it did.

I'm still trying to figure out why our "uptime" load is always higher than 10, when other phones (and any linux desktop/server) is always close to 0

is it just showing the wrong value or there's something heavy always running on the cpu?

is there a way to boot the kernel but don't load the whole android framework itself?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] passport619:
It's just flashing this over and over. I can't do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Cyanogengod:
That's a faulty/incompatible gapps flash.

What version did u get?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] haggertk:
Load can be influenced by a number of factors, and assertions that all Linux systems are near zero is patently false. My server is at 16-20 100% of the time due to distributed processing, and that goes up to 50-60 if I'm also building and doing handbrake encodes.

Now there may be something wrong and you are a kernel developer, so investigate the depth of the run queues. If you find something, submit it to Gerrit.

Regarding not starting frameworks, feel free to rewrite init. Ready, go. (hint: issuing a "stop" after things boot is probably closeish without a lot of work)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] cal002:
Load includes IO wait time aka "uninterruptible sleep", and there are 10 kernel threads in that state:

klte:/ # ps | grep -w D

I think it's mostly a cosmetic issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] passport619:
Which one should I be using "mini" of? Thanks for responding .
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Cyanogengod:
It's not so much the gapps variation, but make sure you get the ones with the correct CPU architecture compatible with your phone, otherwise an error such as the one you posted arises.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] passport619:
It's weird cause everything has been OK for months then this.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Cyanogengod:
So this error just randomly occurred during a boot?

I thought you said it happened after a flash?

Hello guys, i have trouble with focus, not work on close objects, like my dog. Sorry, i dont know much english jaja, im mexican guy. I will talk to you in spanish. Tengo problemas con el enfoque de la cámara, no enfoca objetos muy cercanos, por ejemplo mi perro, he estado tratando con otras apps pero no me funciona ninguna.

Hi all,

A couple of questions.

Google assistant can be really slow to respond when holding the home button. It is most slow to respond after the screen is off.

Does anyone else experience this? Is this an app issue or related to the operating system?

There are times I'm using apps and there seems to be a period where the phone just pauses between screens. I'm assuming CPU usage is high at the time. Does anyone else experience this? (I understand this is quite a general comment but I'm struggling to think of an example right now)

Is it worth posting a logcat when these issues occur or is it more of a psychological thing for me where I need to adjust my expectations?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Logcat?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Paul_Lunardi:
Ok I'll submit one soon just wanted to get an indication of whether it was just a general consensus whether it was slow for others prior to going down the path of logcat. When it happens next I'll post a logcat.

Thanks.

HDR not works
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
I used to have the same problems once in a while. According to my guess, it is related to the fact that parts of the code are loaded from or moved to zram and/or swap is out of space. Since I have set swappiness to 30, this has almost never happened again. It would be worth a test at least.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Deydacar3:
Focus camera

I have problems with the camera focus, it doesn't focus on things that are close. Focus well on objects at a normal distance. I use the macro function a lot, I wish I could do that with the native camera. I know that they work hard to improve the rom so I like you in advance. Greetings

Sorry, I don't know about this translator. Thank you!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
I don't think you may solve this problem using the LOS "native" camera app (snap). There have been some discussions on this topic here in the past. All ended up with the recommendation to use a different camera app like Open Camera. Focussing works much better there.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Deydacar3:
I tried the cameras (open camera, fv5 camera, fx zoom camera, etc.) to solve the focus of my camera, none of them worked. I'll check the post carefully for a solution. On the other hand I also have problems with audio FX, it doesn't work with any music player. It only works with vlc for android.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Dieexe:
I'm sorry but if you want a good camera just don't use this ROM (or any AOSP based ones)

Spanish: Perdón, pero si quieres una buena cámara simplemente no uses esta ROM (o cualquiera basada en AOSP)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I found this one to be pretty good http://www.marginz.co.nz/snap/ but it is dependent on Gapps. There is a trial version.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Dieexe:
Thanks a lot, I'll use it when I go back to Lineage, but it'll never be amazing as stock one
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
By the way: What distances are we talking about when it comes to camera focus problems?

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

I also bought the app half a year ago. It has its advantages, but in the meantime I mostly only use Open Camera. Because the HDR images are definitely better there than with Snap.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] j1gga84:
Nevertheless real HDR support in LOS is broken since some time and had not been fixed yet (maybe only in built in snap camera? because the HDR button has no function) allthough Galaxy S5 supports it..

I hope that it will be fixed again, maybe in LOS 15.1, also Glonass support as our device is also able to use it but it is also not working in LOS [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] ?

Hey all,

2 reasons for my post.

1 primarily because it took me all of around 8 times to try to successfully connect to my wireless Bluetooth speaker tonight for some reason.

2. Want to see whether the logcat created by Android app syslog is suitable to post for diagnosis.

I have attempted to follow the wiki by typing in the logcat command in the terminal but I found it time consuming to look for the command then copy and paste it into a terminal, then convert it into a zip file so that it's suitable for XDA.

If I get positive feedback it will encourage me to contribute more and post logcats more often.

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Deydacar3:
Thank you for your help. The last ROM I used was CM 7.2.2 for xperia x10 mini pro. It worked the perfect camera, even in close-up focus. I thought linages couldn't be left behind. I'm not so worried about the camera anyway, I'm more concerned about music. All my music is in the microd, but for some reason the FX audio app doesn't want to work with any player, it only works with VLC for android. No need to turn on VLC effects, just play music and FX audio works. If this could be solved, I would never change the ROM. I like very much pure lineages, without third party apps. I also like to contribute in the bugs that the ROM has, so that it can be improved.

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

Okay, I can handle the camera, I use the macro function a lot but it's not indispensable. Could you suggest some ROM that is not based on AOSP?

I use CM11 on my old S3 and it works perfect. But this is not really an option. ;) As I always used CM14.1 on my S5 from the first day I bought it, I'm not able to make any recommendations. Sorry for that!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Cyanogengod:
For the S5 there is only one way to go.

CM12 + Boeffla Kernel, hands down.

1 full day of battery, with mid-high use. Not even a question, really
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
That's funny... :)

I've got 2 kltevzw & d2vzw devices with 1/ea that has LineageOS 14.1 and the other 1/ea with CyanogenMod 13.0 Snapshot...

The device that seems to be performing better (only with certain items/areas/functions within it) is the one with the CyanogenMod installed.

This is not to state that the LineageOS one is bad at all. In fact, the LineageOS one really does perform really well.

Personally, I feel that device performance is all based on what, how, when, etc... you use the device itself.

I don't have a ton of apps & modules installed on them and those that i don't use often (that auto launches when booted) are closed and frozen until I want to use them again (less the Modules, it's a pain to have to enable and reboot to activate it).

I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Cyanogengod:
Many people just refuse to accept that truth.

Anything above Marshmallow was deliberately designed to stifle the overall performance and battery life of older phones, while exclusively improving that of newer models. It is a variation of intended obsolescence. They simply have to stay competitive, seeing as Apple has perfected this scheme and is currently being sued for it.

CM12 is the best ROM for the S5.

Best benchmark scores, best battery life, most overall smoothness. With the Boeffla Kernel I'd take it over a new stock S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] swiftbones74:
:confused: I wonder how many vulnerabilities have been patched since CM12 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] sketchman16:
Count me as one who refuses to accept. Lol

I had no complaints using LOS 14.1 on my S5. One of the smoothest phones/ROMs combo I've ever had, and battery life was great. It matched my experience with a Oneplus One with CM/LOS, which was also stellar.

I now have a Moto X 2014, and even though it's "old", I have no issues with LOS 14.1. I really like the "old" quads with LOS 14.1. Lag is not an issue, battery life is great, and I see no reason at all to go backward ROM wise, nor do I see a reason to upgrade my hardware, and yes I've had newer phones too. Didn't see the need, so I sold them to buy older phones.

SOT?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Cyanogengod:
Yes, sir.

70% SOT at least.

I was absolutely amazed.

Nougat and Oreo are designed to cripple older phones, trust me. Stick with KitKat or Lollipop, extremely smooth, best benchmark scores I've ever achieved with the S5 and longest battery life I've ever seen. If you tweak it with the Boeffla Kernel to save power you'll get 1 1/2 days, it's truly insane

Exceptionally dumb question, but anyone know how well the G900V does with LOS 14.1 and encryption enabled? Does TWRP even support that? I kinda wanna encrypt the device but I'm kind of worried that might cause more problems than it solves.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
The ability to support device encryption is one of the requirements for official support. Encryption is fully supported in the current versions of TWRP. From what I gather, generally, there is little performance impact. A clean install would be wise! ;)

All that said, however, I have always been reluctant to encrypt mine (apart from testing) for the same reasons!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] haggertk:
Your maintainer only has an unencrypted device during two periods:

- initial bring up on new Android version

- clean install until Google cloud restore is complete

I never leave my house with an unencrypted device.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
OK that does it! Not wanting to be tagged 'old skool' anymore..... TWRP backup. In-situ encryption. Let's heat up my S5!

edit: Nope, only 70% battery. The phone knows 'best' and has grounded this hair brained idea until it's happy with the battery level....... :rolleyes:

edit2: Worked first time..... :)
