Wifi problem

Very good rom but wifi is a very important and it is not stable

can u fix this? thank you
[Galaxy S 4 General] Garfield4:
Not yet stable

First of all thank you very much [MENTION=5010221]sombree[/MENTION] for bringing the newest Lineage OS to S4VE users. :good:

I am using the latest version 20170730 for about a week now and in the first sight everything seems to work. Also disk encryption works.

But the system is quite unstable, it reboots a few times per day. Turning off Wifi and / or bluetooth maybe makes it a little better but the phone still reboots at least once a day.

I really hope this will get better and I am not the only one experiencing these reboots. :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Nick Melchels:
No,you're not the only one , don't have them much, but yeah it sometimes reboots with out a warning, and no wifi problems, when I use it, most of time on 4G,and also sometimes have red/pink screens, turning screen off/on with powerbutton usually fixes it, for the rest a great rom, good work [MENTION=5010221]sombree[/MENTION]

[Galaxy S 4 General] Garfield4:
Yes, I also had this pink screen once or twice but not often.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lfpeacemaker:
The pink screen is related to bad battery
[Galaxy S 4 General] openmovies:
Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Abreuz:
Application FlipFlap (system) draining RAM and CPU probably bad battery.. Or just my device?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dr.Fix:
I was just thinking to switch to RR, I'm on vacation and this rom is a nightmare:

- battery drains like hell

- wifi keeps dropping. The on/off switch doesn't seem to work: when you get disconnected and turn off and on again, the networks are still there without a rescan and it doesn't reconnect anymore in no way. Going to aereo and back instead does the job.

- camera keeps freezing, crashing, not saving etc. With all camera apps I've always had issues. And when you get the "unable to connect to camera" error you'd better reboot soon. If you don't do it the phone will start to heat like hell and your battery will drop to 1% in a few minutes, with the camera app closed of course.

It's not good to say, I know, [MENTION=5010221]sombree[/MENTION] is working on this for free in his spare time, but we're lacking a lot of support. The issues are alwasys the same and they've never been addressed.

Many times it seemed to be near to the official status (which would bring al least weekly fixes, instead of months of silence) then nothing.. everything disappeared.

P.s.: I had to write this post twice because connection dropped while sending the first one and I lost everything

P.p.s.: for writing twice this post my battery dropped from 100% to 66%. I'm looking for a plug near the pool.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sombree:
I don't know if it's just your device or not. Next build won't have this app anyway - I don't have proper cover to test it.

It's not abandoned. I just don't have time to release new build everyday.

I don't have issues that you mentioned. If you're thinking that going official will magically fix all problems - sorry, but it doesn't work like this. Also I've pushed commits to official LineageOS gerrit but I can't force anyone to review and/or merge them.

Yes, some people have these issues, but I still have no idea how to fix them. Probably I'm not so skilled as person who is delivering RR for i9515.
[Galaxy S 4 General] p0nku:
1. In my case battery life is fine, something about 11 hours on one charge (I can post screenshots), using most of the time Facebook, Messenger Lite, sometimes Snapchat, Instagram and listening music from Spotify, GPS always ON (I've got this S4 from January 2015)

2. Yes Wifi drop sometimes, but it happens rarely.

3. Camera always working fine for me (Using Open Camera instead build in app)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dr.Fix:
My wife has the same phone, bought an year before mine and she's got the same issues.

Completely different usage and apps.

Probably there are different hardware revisions that should be addressed in code. Who have the same of sombree is fine.
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidfuture:
We are not asking every day.

Try to understand that a month without informational is not legal.

Yes, the rom looks like abandoned.

See our side as testers, do not hesitate to report some news.

you do not have more time because to continue with this rom? If at least we have information of what happens.

Do not take my comment as a criticism, but as a tip. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] mitomanu:
No... I am not better than you. My roms has (on some devices) the same issues with WiFi. Yes, battery drains a little faster but not so fast like LineageOS. Maybe is a kernel issue. În RR which I compile and deliver, :)), I use Samsungdoze.apk I don't know it is really help with battery but worth to try.

For all users, testers, most of the time, new improvements from developers, LineageOS, RR, and so on, not appears. Some of the changes are minor. What most of us must to understand: a custom rom rarely is better than stock.

Keep going with your work.

ALEX!!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidfuture:

But if I have to upgrade to the latest version I wipe have to do?
[Galaxy S 4 General] klaus-hamburg:
Flash the "zip" file without wipe on TWRP, if you install an Lineage update.

For first installation you have to wipe "system, date and cache".
[Galaxy S 4 General] costa11:
I already on the rom just want to update wipe?
[Galaxy S 4 General] klaus-hamburg:
if you allready installed the lineage rom, you do not have to wipe/delete anything.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Garfield4:
Update baseband?

Hi guys, is it useful to update the baseband? I only flashed the ROM as it's described in the installation instructions. If I check seetings in Android it says Baseband-Version is I9515XXU1BPK3. If I look in Sombrees file list there is a newer version BPL1. Might the reboots get away with this newer baseband?

How can I backup my baseband before installing new one? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 General] TwingyTwingy:
Hi [MENTION=5010221]sombree[/MENTION], just read the converstations on pages before. I'm using your roms more then a year by now. Very good and stable roms, in compare to other roms just minor bugs. You're a very good dev and i love to see more from you. Big thank you!

[Galaxy S 4 General] Skiny:
Hi guys, i'm joining the i9515 team since i replace my i9505 motherboard with my friend's one (and we found he owns an i9515).

I came from the i9505 with [JDCTeam][7.1.2][6 Sep]Optimized LineageOS 14.1-Version7.

This seems the best rom to update the phone, can i kindly ask you two questions to return into modding - i was only updating lineageOS 14.1 version by version-

1. if i don't need root permission, can i jump the root flash? in that case i have to flash directly twrp with Odin?

2. Do you suggest this rom or it has more problems than i9505 one? camera is working well?

Thanks guys for your support.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Roberto.caramia:
Hi, this ROM is not pre-rooted so you can just jump the root flash. Yes I suggest to flash twrp by odin.

Camera works well for me.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Skiny:
Thanks.

Maybe you know a link with instructions steps to install TWRP on this model?

Oh, sorry, I forgot. In build.prop change to ro.sf.lcd_density to 480.

Edit: I've just uploaded proper version.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dr.Fix:

My phone reboots itself 2-3 times per day with no reason.

Often while idle on the desk I hear a vibration, I look at it and it's rebooting... Sometimes also during the night in aero mode, waking me up..

Me too, I determine the same issue.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dr.Fix:

[Galaxy S 4 General] camypaj:
OpenRecovery script?

Hi [MENTION=5010221]sombree[/MENTION] and all contributors on this thread,

first of all, thanks for the amazing work done here - like someone said, you keep our devices alive :)

That said, I have 2 questions: 1) I've checked the github repo linked in the fist post, and I don't see any recent commits there? I've also searched github for several keywords, to no avail. So, where is the development happening? I'm asking only because of issues/forks/pull requests and feature requests :)

2) I have a particular feature request in mind - I've noticed a friend of mine has a more streamlined process of installing Lineage updates, using OpenRecovery script. He has a different phone, but is using a recent TWRP as well as me (I'm on twrp-3.1.1-0-jfve, which works fine for now). So, what would it take to write an OpenRecovery script, and how can I help? I know my manual steps for flashing, since I flash SuperSu every time as well, but I would give root up (easily) if it simplifies the process of installing the updates (skipping manual steps).

Thanks again,

camypaj

MicroG works very fine, it is an alternative to gapps, so all i use is play but no play services thus energy consumption is lowered and lots of free ram.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ddorian:
Just tested the full disk encryption, seems to work fine.

Only strange thing I noticed: Shortly after starting the encryption process, the phone prompted me for the sim-pin. But after I entered it, the encryption process continued without problems.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mostevil94:
Does it support substratum theming? Ive created a theme with ThemeDIY from store. Everything went good until i restarted, so now ive got trapped in bootloop.

Can you do anything about this?

[Galaxy S 4 General] klaus_la:
I tested the full disk encryption. Now it works, but the way to success was not straight. So for all a short description what happend:

- Battery full charge, keep the phone at the charger

- very important: make a backup using TWRP!!!!!!!

- start encryption

- after a while the phone booted

- you see for a long time the lingeageos boot animation (several hours)

- so: something went wrong -> endless bootloop

- press the on/off bottom (right) for several seconds -> phone shut down

- start boot modus: go to TWRP (press <HOME>+<VOLUME-DOWN>+<ON/OFF>

- you have to apply the pattern, which you choose for the encryption -> then TWRP starts

- restore the backup

- start again normal mode

- unlock by using the pattern

- phone starts

- encryption works, as fast like before; so everything is fine, everything works

I don't know, why I had to restore the backup. But mayby this short description helps others, not to be frustratetd. I think, encryption is quite important. So my old S4 is up to date.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Dr.Fix:
No difference here, it drained before, it drains now.

This is very very important. Please [MENTION=5010221]sombree[/MENTION] consider to release a new build soon with that fix.

[Galaxy S 4 General] camypaj:
Thanks for testing it out, [MENTION=8616828]klaus_la[/MENTION]. I don't know why, but I've failed at step 2. I made a backup afterwards, since my data was not successfully encrypted, but it doesn't help me much, since I had to wipe everything in the end..

EDIT: I've tried it just now, with an empty phone, and 3x3 pattern (previous one was 5x5, so I thought that might have been the reason). Everything was the same as with your attempt, except I boot TWRP with "Volume Up" key, but it did not request the pattern when I booted in TWRP, or before the restore.. :(

I've also tried it without setting up the pattern, still fails.

Hello, I tried to update my version to 20171004, and after flashing it over the previous one, my phone is stuck on the lineage loading screen. I tried to restart and go into recovery, but it only goes to the stock "Downloading Do not turn off target" screen although I have twrp installed. What could I do to make it work again?
[Galaxy S 4 General] klaus-hamburg:
Try following steps:

take out the battery

press the power button for five seconds

insert battery again

start into recovery mode

wipe data, system, cache

flash LineageOs again

if these steps don't work,

may be you have to install TWRP with Odin again

Hopefully it works

Can you help me tel the different step to flash a i9515 total stock with lineageos the different step and file odin recovery etc etc

[Galaxy S 4 General] Roberto.caramia:
First of all root your device following this guide:

https://androidmtk.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s4-value-edition-gt-i9515-on-5-0-1

Once rooted install twrp (download it from first page) with odin here your guide:

http://www.droidschool.com/custom-recovery-install-twrp-for-samsung-galaxy-s4-devices/

Once you have twrp, flash the latest ROM from sombre (download it from first page) rebooting the phone in recovery mode.

Install the opengapps (http://opengapps.org/ select "arm" "7.1" and i use the pico version you chose the ones best fit your taste)

Optional flash the lineage root zip (link always on the first page).

Reboot the phone and that's it.

I suggest to download all the file needed on the SD card before starting the process.

Good luck.
