LOL!... I know that spell check changes my member name from "ibuprophen" to the medicinal spelling of "ibuprofen"... :eek: It's not a big deal :D .

To be honest, I have my Location set for "Battery saving" Mode because i really don't use the GPS feature much and, if i need anything dependent for directions or similar, i just pull out my trusty Garmin GPS and set it for "Walking" or "Driving".

I rarely ever use/need the GPS on any of my devices and, on those rare occasions, i just change the Location settings to "Device only" Mode. That mode tells the device to use the 3 GPS satellites for determining the location without the use of the Cellular Towers for the location.

The use of the Cellular towers, for the device location, can be a bit misleading because the Cellular tower being used may not be where you are (either between towns/cities or even located in another town/city).

I hope i had answered your question okay via text... :)

Hello Fellow lineagers.

I am having a problem with my G900PV Sprint phone.

Ever since I started downloading KLTE. I had trouble with 4G. But on the last few downloads ( 12/21/07) MY SMS stopped functioning completely and only 3G works.

I know that this SMS problem was discussed last year. Snd also that is was solved.

Can someone direct me to the proper settings? I think there is a CDMA- GSM problem. My phone is CDMA and if I set the Preferred network type to LTE. I lose phone service. Otherwise only 3G works
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] droidian5:

You have a Sprint G900P and you need to be using KLTEDV.

I dirty flashed 20171221 over the top of 20170419 kltedv and everything works ok! Just had to reinstall Magisk.

Only issue (which I've had since switching to Lineage) is the camera doesn't have the storage location option, so it saves to internal storage. Other apps can access the external sd card e.g. open camera, titanium backup. I have tried force stopping and clearing data and cache for the camera app but it didn't help.

Is this a limitation of the Lineage camera app?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] SamuelMaki:
I have the option, and it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] beatboxer:
Do you have kltedv also?

I have tried a different sd card, and formatting from the phone but nothing works. Camera version is 2.7.010.

Maybe I need to flash gapps again?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Is there a good reason why the mobile service icon on the status bar is different from the icon displayed on the pull down tile?

e.g. the icon on the status bar just displays strength and maybe the little cross. Whilst the tile supplements this with 'LTE' or 'H+' etc.

The reason I mention it, is because I think there maybe a link with the Wi-Fi disconnects in combination with LTE and the little cross.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] beatboxer:
My status bar icon is the same as the tile, but I don't have any WiFi disconnects either (kltedv 20171221).

Regarding my camera issue, I realised gapps (stock) had replaced the LOS camera with Google camera, that's why it wouldn't save to external sd card. To get the LOS camera back I had to go back to TWRP 2.8.7 to run the gapps aroma installer, deselecting Google Camera. Then dirty flash LOS 20171221 again. Maybe there was an easier way?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jeremywh7:
One could go to Settings->Apps for Google Camera, uninstall updates, then boot to recovery, mount system, delete the camera app from /system/app or /system/priv-app. Then reinstall or update LOS and it will install the default camera app. This goes for any Google app.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] beatboxer:
Cool thanks! I didn't actually realize LOS had it's own camera or I would have used full or mini gapps instead of stock.

Are there any other Lineage apps that are better than the Google equivalents e.g dialer, contacts etc?

Would flashing mini gapps then LOS take me back to LOS + mini gapps?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Efraimjb:
I got a new SIM card from Amazon. Sprint was too much bother and long shipping. I did a data backup and factory reset. I now have LTE back.

random reboots

Hi there,

This morning my phone rebooted twice within the timeframe of 30 minutes.

At the time I was commuting to work and I was listening to a podcast on the 'Pocket Casts' app.

I've attached a log file. Any help would be appreciated.

I've noted quite a few random reboots of late. A few weeks back, I wiped my phone and reinstalled lineage 14.1

sm-g900i.

Not sure what else to do, though I thought I'd report it. Please let me know if you require any further information.

Hope my phone isn't dying.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
Thank you for your message! I had exactly the same thing yesterday in the afternoon. Within 20 minutes the device did a hot reboot twice without me doing anything. The device was in the pocket. Four hours later it booted again. I did a cold start and since then it hasn't happened again. Since I still have the LOS version of December 21st and it ran perfectly so far, I assume that it is an error in the Google Play services or something similar, which is constantly updated by Google.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mpower25:
Is there a way to raise the recording volume (camera, WhatsApp, audio recorder) without rooting the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Couchy:
I've also seen a couple random reboots since installing lineage-14.1-20171228-nightly-kltedv-signed.zip. I update every week, so there's probably a regression here.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] godofsalt:
21Dec17 build... Seems for no reason the phone will reboot, all on its own. Now have Logcat Extreme up and running.

For me what seems to be weird, it will reboot own its own, (when I am away from phone it has some issues and reboots) I only know, due to the fact I have Boeffla app and states when my settings are applied....

Just weird, hopefully I will have a logcat that can show better details on this matter...

I quit using Lineage one year ago because of the battery overcharging issue.

There were a lot of improvements since then, but battery keeps hot after 8 hours plugged in the wall outlet.

This reduces battery life dramatically.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] charly394:
Any news from HDR with builtin camera? I never really liked the "two-picture-merge-thingie" apps and i really loved the builtin cam pictures with HDR. I would even go back to an older build but then the security level would be outdated.

So [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] is someone working on this?

No rant, no begging. Just that simple question.

I have three devices running the latest nightly and not seeing reboots on any of them. You're running boeffla? Sounds like you're running hacky crap.

There is no battery overcharging issue. Using a 5V 2A charger and not seeing any overheat problems here.

Boeffla is neither hacky nor crap. It is not better or worse than the LOS kernel, can do only a few things more than the LOS kernel.

In my opinion, the spontaneous reboots have nothing to do with the kernel. I only had hot reboots three times on January 1st, but not after that. I'm more likely to bet on some Google crap that has been updated again without being asked (Play Services have been updated on last Friday or Saturday). It's known to cause such failures. Google is really hacky and crap.

Just want to say I've been using this setup for a little over a week now and I love it. Thank you so much. Came from basic MM and this feels like a new phone. My apps2sd app links all apps perfectly now, never did before. Once in a while my phone won't detect the sd card but it fixes itself promptly. Wish I could install this on my spare T-MO S4 Klte.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Camera 2 API I guess that wrappers get put around the original drivers, but they can only do so much. LIMITED/LEGACY. I think only the S6 has the necessary hardware and TW software to claim FULL compatibility, but S6 has never had LineageOS support etc. Maybe the S7 does, not sure.

A bit of info here from Marginz who do SNAP HDR Camera app.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mpower25:
It's not overheat.

When on stock, I leave the phone off and charging overnight. When I retrieve it in the morning, it's on room temperature.

When on LOS, it's hot as if it were turned on.

This is an evidence that the battery is receiving charge hours after it's reached full charge. It doesn't only damage the battery, it's dangerous because it can cause an explosion.

Hello everyone...

Just flashed the newest nightly today on a family-S5 (klte) and root with supersu... So far so good, but there is one problem: Only the Lineage-File-Explorer can see my sd-card (btw. after every restart, the phone shows me an sd-card pop-up, which i never had before on an android).

I formated it with twrp and within lineage, but no change... still the same...

Es-File-Explorer and Root-Browser can´t see the sd-card...

The Gallery can´t see the whole sd-card too..

WhatsApp cant´t see it too...

There is no android_secure folder on my sd-card

There is no "external..." folder in mnt folder...

Any idea, any help ?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Try without SuperSu installed or use the official addonsu.

The first time android sees the card you will probably want to set it up as Portable Storage.

Apps need permission to write to an sd-card too.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] CM-Tester:
Thanks, but could it really be the flashed supersu, so the file explorers and the gallery can´t see the external sd-card ?

And i didn´t cut some rights of the file explorer or gallery in privacy settings...

I did the same process as with CM13 to the S5, to some Note-3´s and LOS-14.1 to both of my LG V20´s...

Only with the S5 there is the problem....
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Quite possibly.

Is there any way to improve camera quality? On LOS the camera is completely useless. It doesn't focus correctly.

I had another spontaneous reboot at about 8 pm today, while the device was unused in my pocket. There must be something super lazy. This was the fourth reboot since January 1st. Without me changing anything. I've never had this before. I still suspect the Play Services to be responsible. Unfortunately, you can't go back to an older version of the Play Services for testing, because Google will immediately iron the current version onto the device without asking.

Works like a charm, and will save your battery considerably with the right settings. Not to mention the lower risk of fire or overcharging when unattended.

If there was anywhere to ask this I guess it would be here. My gf has this phone on stock rom and she’s having the green flickering problem and she almost can’t use her phone.

Also an anyone confirm the green flickering whenever you press power or at low screen brightness is fixed using a custom rom?

It's low screen brightness usually above 10% screen brightness it goes away. I can't use adaptive brightness in dark rooms because the bottom 1/3 of my screen flickers green.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] thisguyneil:
Thank you for the reply. Her phone falls under the “none of the online solutions do anything” category. No matter the brightness sometimes she has to press her power button several times for up to 5 minutes just to stop the flickering and actually see what’s on her screen.

Try snap hdr again. Don't prefocus. Use the flash and press the blue camera button and hold your phone steady. If you focus first then press the blue button, it takes a picture immediately and it's usually pretty blurry. I'm getting pretty good pictures doing it this way.

By the way: concerning "Spontaneous Reboots": [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION] got me to take a look at the kernel settings (thanks a lot!). To my great surprise, both the governor and the I/O scheduler were completely out of place. But I haven't changed it. Something must have changed the settings without my intervention. Maybe that was the reason for the spontaneous reboots. So if you have this problem, you might want to check the Governor and I/O Scheduler with Kernel Adiutor or Boeffla Config! The Boeffla kernel should also have ext4 optimizations enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] CM-Tester:
Thank you very much...

Complete new flash with latest weekly klte and addonsu and gallery could see the sd-card, the notification for a new sd-card didn´t come back and all file exploreres could see the sd-card.

Thanks again ;)

Addonsu is "new" for me... in the past i rooted every device with supersu...

Microphone problems and audio feedback (tried many things but nothing worked, yet)

I need some help fixing my microphone issue on my Galaxy S5 G900F model. I'll try and describe the problem as best i can.

# The Problem

The main microphone is not working or very quiet. When I make a phone call i can hear my own voice back and the other party doesn't hear me at all or very quietly. If

i turn on speaker mode during the call, then the other person can hear me but what i hear is a high pitched winding noise coming from the speaker. Like in this YouTube video

What i've tried so far:

I tried (How To / MOD) Microphone Gain Increase on All S5 Variants guide that suggested to change fluence in build.prop and some mixer values in mixer_profiles.xml but it didn't work.

I also tried changing the values in the mixer_profiles.xml file on my own as they are pretty descriptive in regards to what they do but that also didn't work.

I also tried to install Resurrection Remix but that also didn't work.

Now, i've flashed back to LineageOS (latest as of today) and every file is with its original values.

I know the microphone works and is not defect because I only installed Lineage OS a week ago and before that with the original Android v6 i had no issues at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BadToThePhone:
I think I've had the same issue as you on the 900T KLTE. Did you try the latest Dec 31st Resurrection Remix?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jsnow89:
Yes i did and it didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mpower25:
Did that. Didn't work. The phone is still warm in the morning, though it's off.

I won't refrain from using LOS because of this, since it has evolved so much in a year. But I won't leave the phone charging overnight anymore. And I suggest everyone on LOS do the same, unless they want a bomb planted in their houses.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
If this were happening on all devices you maybe right. But I run a number of these devices and do not see these symptoms, even with devices

in cases

left to charge overnight. It maybe that you are seeing early symptoms of hardware failure. It's that little 'F' pcb that might need replacing.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Atento:
I've been using LOS since the first release and have never experienced anything related to this.

I have 2 Galaxy S5 and 2 Moto G2 and all are running perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mpower25:
If it also happened with stock firmware, I would agree. This is not a hardware issue.

This is a problem that one will notice only if he/she is looking for it. It's not like the cell phone will burn the hand of whoever holds it.

My phone runs LOS perfectly too. But when on stock I can retrieve it from the wall outlet in the morning and it will be cool, at room temperature. On LOS, it will be warm at the battery area. It's obvious that the battery has been receiving charge way after it's fully charged. I'm sure this can be replicated in other phones.

I insist on this because I think it's important. Whatever the devs or the users do to this information is none of my business. After all, it's not like I paid for LOS.

I sustain my advice. DO NOT leave your phone off and charging overnight while on LOS. It will degrade the battery and it might explode.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
Have you ever tried the Boeffla Kernel? My phone always has room temperature in the morning. Boeffla also allows for adjusting the charging current.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] bytes2bits:
I think his issue occurs when the phone is completely powered off and charging. Does the kernel come into play in a situation like that? I'm kinda confused by the whole thing. My phone is always powered on at all times.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mpower25:
Exactly.

I'm far from being an Android dev. But when the phone is off and charging, it is ruled by a special programming, different than the one active when the phone is on.

When one installs LOS, though, this programming changes too.

This can be seen easily because the graphical interface of the charging phone when turned off changes with LOS.

On stock, it's a monochrome battery that turns green as the charging goes on. On LOS, it's always monochrome, with horizontal bars that turn white as the battery holds charge.

My guess is that the problem is enclosed in that part of LOS.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Atento:
When a I said all are running perfectly, I mean they are cool in the morning after all night charging. Exactly the same behavior as stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
I have drawn [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION]'s attention to this discussion and I have asked him perhaps to say a few words about it. I have no idea where the software is located, that takes over charge control when the phone is switched off. But it is very possible that the kernel might do this.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Saber:
Pretty sure that won't happen. Software/hardware is smart enough to prevent these issues from happening. Although, there are hardware defects that exist that can cause issues similar to this.

Thanks a lot, [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION]! So, [MENTION=7288963]mpower25[/MENTION] & [MENTION=1230861]bytes2bits[/MENTION]: It's worth a test. The charge behaviour of the phone when switched off maybe different depending on the kernel you are using...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mpower25:
I'll give it a shot. It will take a while, since when it comes to a custom kernel I don't know even where to start.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
There is nothing more to do than download it and flash it via TWRP. If you want to configure it (recommended for adjusting the charge current), also install the (Boeffla) Config App. After the next flash of LOS the Kernel will automatically be restored to the LOS default Kernel. So after every LOS update you would have to flash the kernel again.
