Since I did my carrier sim update I have been extremely stable.

I have straight talk bring your own device plan( Verizon offshoot)

My carrier sim reset method was to send a text. I am sure there was an online tool too.

[MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION] I think this should be mentioned across the forums because

1. The cell companies see a bunch of devices with the same serial number, ie us Verizon follks have all the same serial number developer phone. I am sure this number is in their registration as the carrier and

2. The carrier might not be recognizing the sim on their end rather than the ROM having the problem.

3. The sim stores data as well, what's in their for each device I am not sure but here is the process of how your phone talks too each tower.

Phone - hey tower, here I am

Tower - cool whats your special numbers, I got to check to see if your a customer and payed your bill.

Phone - ok I will send you this stupid sim card number and other stuff.

Tower - ok brb.

Phone - hey tower....

Tower - ok . Your good what do you want...

Phone hey I can't hear you,

Tower 2 - hey phone I hear you shut up tower 1 I got this..

Etc..

Each time the phone sends out a connect request it uses the sim. It may not be on the phone side

Just an idea

Yes. Mostly disconnect when I hit play after I am in a pause.

Only while touching the touch screen . not while touching the Bluetooth device control.

Update.

My uptime is 52 hours, no crash, no sim death, and only a couple Bluetooth crashes.

Currently plugged in operating as a hotspot and downloading at the same time.

No app lag noticeable.

My only settings custom is

Use GPU to draw 2d in developer mode.

Update sim via carrier

Did quite a bit of driving on Friday, roaming while streaming SoundCloud and I heart radio

And today just hanging around the house and such.

Sweetness ... Thanks [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION]

I might back this up and go check out LOS 15 [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] builds tomorrow.

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

I have a flip flap.cover and a screen protector, that does not cover front camera or sensors. I don't have problems, but I did have prox problems that did go away when I enabled GPU to draw 2 d .

Most likely this is a CPU Governor issue related to my older app slowdowns common with this ROM and los 15 and 14 I have been tracking for 2 years.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] M3GATROLL:
hello, just a quick question.

i search the Bluetooth bug but nothing... what's the app you open for crash?

i listen music and i open many app and game but nothing.

i have n910f

ps: no problem with sensor during call and sim death.

this Rom is incredible.

thx
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Gerxp:
Very frustrating issue:

After a restart some apps are gone. And i have tot reinstall them.

N910f, magisk, xposed
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Apex Predator:
Hmmm. It's an interesting theory. I don't know enough about how sims and phones and towers work at that level to weigh in.

All I can do is ask "so why is this an issue almost exclusively with LOS-based Oreo builds?" Doesn't occur (not en masse anyway) on stock builds. There must be *something* in the rom code causing it. I wonder if the same thing is happening with other devices? Does anyone know?

Face unlock disappeared for me too and I did some tests and I think there is some incompatibility between AOSP roms and last open gapps.

If you flash last rom with old gapps from August face unlock is available again.

Having an issue with possibly my download, but have downloaded numerous times. First time I downloaded the ROM, went to flash with error 7 fail. Went to download again, due to for whatever reason, the entire directory that the ROM was in disappeared after rebooting the phone. Every time I have downloaded since, been failing saying that the zip is corrupted. Now trying my 5th time with no luck. I am assuming this ROM is applicable for the 910V. Anybody have any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] sronweb:
In case of corrupted zip I may suggest you to use another browser and download it again.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Shizzle2889:
Ok, finally got it going, everything installed, settings all configured, magisk configured, etc. I honestly don't think my phone likes this rom, though i am enjoying it. On that 5th download, made a copy on my pc. Went to flash and this time it went fine with the exception of freezing at 50%. Pulled battery, ran a wipe, copied rom from pc to phone, and flashed again. This time, worked like a charm. Thank you for a great ROM [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION]

I am going to say in the 2 hours I have had this rom running, the sim death doesn't seem anywhere near as bad as LOS15.1 but it is still present. Would i be able to ask if your method will work on verizon or just for straight talk?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tripLr:
Sure, can't hurt can it? Check your carrier instructions.

I just did google update sim (carrier)

Back up your external SD card. You may want to format it /the android folder on your external may have old settings for software.

I only have one large program to restore via backup like titanium.

Also, first flash ,don't do gapps. Just get a working system with

Then back it up. Update your sim .

Then I recommend you just do nano , and do not restore. Set up as new.

Also if it took multiple times to install.check your heat before installing.

Sounds like you had the same problem I did. What was your temp before installing in twrp? I had to replace my mobo

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tripLr:
I suspect it's read or write permissions related to the ril daemon.

I saw a user try resetting the ril daemon in LOS15. It's more drastic than toggling airplane mode. I crashed my aicp on [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION] 's first build hard doing that. Then I reloaded his latest. Much better.

I still suspect CPU thread handling .( Governor settings )

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

If your having trouble flashing , watch your heat. I destroyed a mobo by flashing too many times while too hot.

Put the phone in a zip lock baggie and in the freezer to bring your temp down and try flashing the phone while cold.

The phone will condense vapor inside the motherboard area if you open the baggie. The touch screen will work in the baggie.

We do motherboard maintenance on our big computers but not our devices. We will get dust, salt, humidity etc.

Watching mobo chip repair videos , it looks like there is a sealant of sorts on the PCB, and maybe between the PCB and the chips, but humidity has always been a bugaboo of electronics and heat as well.

I wonder how long a phone works in Hawaii or the tropics ?

We probably won't know because most people get a phone every year. Except us XDA users

See my really long mobo replacement thread.

Ok. This must be a record. Almost 10 hours idle, 0% battery loose
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Shizzle2889:
24 hrs on aicp. Found a few issues, but all seem to coexist with LOS. Worst of which seems to be sim death. For this, i cleared out the android and lost directories on my sd card. In addition, found something on verizon's pages to update prl or primary roaming location. This was the closest thing to updating the sim I was able to find. Tried it, and have since lost LTE- been in 3G since. In addition, rebooted and now the 3G continually drops. Not sure whats up there now. Since doing all this though, no dead sim issues. Will follow up on this with some more fulfilling testing put in place.

In addition, slight issues utilizing the finger scanner, but seems more stable than what i have grown used to. The only other issue I have encountered is something I have been debating for a while on if personally, I like it or not. That is the reappearance of the maintenance menu on every boot.

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

I had honestly gotten to the point that i was only putting the ROM up for flashing. I currently have no internet outside my phone so everything i do on pc is tethered off of this. As for gapps, i have preferably always stuck with pico. I feel i dont need anything more than that until i get the phone up and running.

Temp wise, not sure where it was when i started. While sitting at 50% stuck, it was generally 52°C. As soon as i would touch and scroll however, it started to sky to just over 70°C until i let go. Then once i let go, it evened back out at 52°C.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tripLr:
Strange, all we can do is report.

As for your 4 g, try the wipe telephony patch on los15 .

Since my straight talk does not allow for roaming, I haven't did the prl. I used to drive truck cross country and had to do that a lot.

Since straight talk is Verizon, I don't know if texting APN to 611611 will work.

I do know that tech support should be able to see your sim. Try the above in order.

Verizion info

https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-46578/

Basically it sez to reset the APN

In our ROM its in wireless setting. Dig deep
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Shizzle2889:
Alright, wipe telephony did nothing- though will get back to the 3G thing in a bit.

Texting APN to 611611 gave me a response that service was unavailable at that time.

Reset the APN through settings did something, though not sure what exactly.

As for the 3G thing, i am now kind of able to force the phone into 4G with the loss of IMS services- mainly cannot send/receive texts or phone calls. Got into a menu that i am going to assume is part of aicp as I have never seen it before and been messing around in there.

Settings -> System -> About phone -> Status -> Phone info

In there, i have been able to change which band it uses which thus will seem to force it into 4G depending on which i select, though lose phone capabilities. I get the feeling at this point, going to need to reflash again but going to try holding off until the weekend.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tripLr:
Try toggling airplane mode after you reset the APN. Also, if you see the maintenance mode reboot boot into safe mode, shut down phone, power on into twrp , and clear cache and dalvik. You should get a normal boot.

I have tried other settings, and lost text. However as soon as I set to global, instead of 4 g, I have lost sim a couple times, other times I see the triangle roaming icon with no service. A reboot gets me 3g, and airplane mode toggle on and off gets me 4 g.

Also post some logs, for [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION].

Go to aicp extras and scroll way down and you see logging. Check at least radio and post a zip.

Uptime 95hours 58 min. No crashes bad enough to force a reboot.

I turned off force GPU to draw 2 d. I only got about 5 hrs of battery life. I was playing tunes by streaming. Should of got better. Will see about tomorrow
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Shizzle2889:
Going to work on getting a new sim hopefully tomorrow. With that said, been wondering if at least my sim death issue is related to the age of my sim card and it might not be compatible with oreo. I have had the sim since about a month after lollipop came out. If nothing else, it should at least fix the 3g issue i would think.

Thanks for the info. As a test, I switched back to stock ROM, and there are no wifi disconnects with the same network. At least for my variant (T-Mobile) there seems to be something different between stock and LOS.

I even had this problem with the Nougat version of LOS.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Shizzle2889:
I will let you all know, though in my case, may not be a sufficient telling sign. Not sure if my 3g or clearing my sd card worked, but havent had a dead sim issue since then. At this point, just trying to fix my 3g issue.

I have seen in other cases where an older sim is incompatible with a newer phone, though not sure if it is hardware, software, or both related
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Shizzle2889:
Alright all, 5 hrs from sim replacement. Again, not sure how much it helped, but no sim death since. I will say also that about 5 mins after i replaced the sim, it lost signal but didnt soft boot like it normally does on sim death; and hasnt done it since.

Also going to mention this as i was told by verizon. Verizon is stating it will be shutting down the CDMA band at some point next year. Now i know my phone is currently talking over CDMA, but software wise, i have a list of bands that i am able to tell the phone to use. Now my question is am i able to just switch the software to utilize a different band or do i need to replace at least the antenna for it? Sorry, not looking forward to an upgrade- mainly due to most of todays phones don't have (easily) removable batterys.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tripLr:
Cool.

Can you post your APN to see what your settings are?

Update.

Battery usage 11.5 hrs and still have 20%

WiFi off, only 1 hr of streaming

Bluetooth on all disconnects reconnected automatically.

As soon as inturned on WiFi at home lost 3% in 4 minutes.

I had WiFi on my browser for a few minutes downloaded about 30 mp3's. Look at the battery percentage used. Wow.

This ROM rocks.

115 hrs uptime. Almost server quality

Pull down the toolbar, click edit and there is some really neat buttons. Like

nightlight

4g ( gonna play with this )

Even GPU force 2d switch.

Open camera tool

Screen recording button

I found screenshot @ power + vol down

And screen record @ power + vol up

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] 73sydney:
Just worth pointing out to all the people doing weird and wonderful things with their sim cards, by all means fiddle to your hearts content, but its nothing to do with what youre doing ....i.e. riddle me this, why when i switch back to LOS do i get a more stable sim experience...it used to be the other way around, AICP was stabler...these things go in cycles...so what im saying here is that the sim is not the issue...its the ROM...not the devs, the lineagos code...

Riddle me this, even further, if I go back to stock rom, the sim works perfectly....most people in here forget this....again more, and definitive proof it's the rom

All this "renew your sim" stuff is just the latest round of people trying anything...a few months back it was "make sure your phone is cool, put it in the fridge before flashing the ROM" baloney...i debunked that round of nonsense by pointing out i was having the issue, here, in Australia, in the dead of winter where the ambient temp was 15c....

Heres my top tip, provide logs and wait for the ROM to get more stable

And if I wasn't clear enough, it's the rom....

In order to counter the sim death we have to replace the Sim card?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tripLr:
Like the Aussie said. Were fiddling.

My counter to his debunking heat and sim, is I did both, replaced my mobo and got more stable. I had a completely unflashable board. Fixed it. Tried LOS image I had saved from 0406 and was working but still had sim problems. Flashed to 0923 still had problems. Came here to flash [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION] first post, less problems. Clean flashed his latest, way more less problems. Haven't had to reboot since.

I can reset most of the wireless and Bluetooth without havingvto restart.

So if a user gets a little more stable with a newer sim, that's one of thousands of ways to test issues. Its neither good nor bad , just testing. All legit.

As for you and your phone, and your sim and your carrier, and the software, all are variables. So is the age and oxidation levels of the circuitry.

At this point I would say, like I said before even OEM will eventually get buggy, that's why the carrier will tell you to to a system restore. Because of bugs.

Personally everyone playing with a custom ROM is playing. Its a toy. If its stable toy so much the better. If you can handle poking and prodding to test to destruction or crash, and sharing results, then all if us can play along.

The goal? Make a better toy.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Shizzle2889:
The issue is that we don't know. I have had thoughts in the past where the sim hardware could possibly be causing inconsistencies with the oreo os. This is due to my sim was received when mm barely came out and the notes were still on 4.4.4. At the same time, i have seen issues with the sim being incompatible with a newer phone where it wouldn't read it at all (kind of the same as our sim death, but more not-working than working).

With that said, i replaced my sim- free of charge (thank you verizon)- to fix an issue with my note that i created. Since replacing the sim, i havent had any issues, but the issues stopped when i created the issues however. With that said, i cannot be certain on what caused the issue. Only time will tell.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] 73sydney:
I posted on here recently a workaround that can *most* of the time avoid a reboot or telephonydatawipe flash. If you go to f-droids report they have a free app called

ril control

Once installed if the sim dies, run it, press the red stop button, wait 5 seconds and hit the green start button.

Sometimes needs multiple stop/start cycles ..still quicker than a reboot when it works

If you read the op and [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION] 's posts including his code contributions on github, you will see his patches are also being shared with the LOS 15 forum , which is pushing the tested code to LOS. So .. Were all benefiting from each other. So yes, by all means fiddle.
