Both my klte S5's tend to drop the Bluetooth connection fairly often. This seemed to start happening two updates ago on both devices.

Has anyone else had this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jman315:
Yes, I have had the same problem as you mention just within the past couple updates. In my case, I'm streaming either Pandora or Amazon music to my headphones.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] thaijunk:
It's happened to me as well a couple of times. I don't use bt much so don't notice it as often but it seems to not reconnect once it drops. To fix it I had to reboot the phone. It's happened once when trying to pair to my car. Wouldn't turn on bt and connect until I rebooted.

Just saying "metoo" without a logcat is just the same as "whining". A logcat gives others the opportunity to analyze what is happening and maybe even track down the actual cause. Of course, its not mandatory.....

Hi all,

I am on a Klteduos and this weekend tried to stream via MHL. It works in portrait mode, but when I turn the phone to landscape, the TV screen gets dark. Turning back again brings the protrait picture to the TV screen.

Any ideas?

Version is the nightly LOS 15.1 dated from 27-08-2018.

Greetings perxeus

Download the firmware for your device and flash in odin

Goto recovery after you have flashed the firmware & perform a factory reset/format data
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] PeterFrostad:
Attached is a logcat recorded while the Bluetooth was dropped several times.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] TheFixItMan:
The app you're using to stream with - when you are streaming is the phone display still on?

If you turn the phone display off (or try this anyway) goto

Settings - battery - three dots top right of screen - battery optimisation

Select not optimized arrow & select all apps

Find the app you are using for the streaming & select it & choose don't optimize

Select Bluetooth & select don't optimize

Select Bluetooth midi services & select don't optimize

It maybe cutting out when the phone is going to sleep & not keeping the service alive

Could someone tell me if how to configure LOS15 email app? I can't do it.. "new Google security?"

[MENTION=4728903]TheFixItMan[/MENTION] , I updated the modem and bootloader using your recommendations (post #257), I want to check if battery life was better.

It doesn't work with my Gmail address - Google blocked the sign in attempt as it wasn't from the Gmail app

There maybe settings in your account to allow it - you will have to check or just use the Gmail app

Not tested it with other accounts but if it doesn't do it automatically select manual and check the pop3 settings against what your email provider tells you they should be

I believe I have turned up a bug in LOS 15.1. I do not know if it is specific to the galaxy S5 or not. This seems to be causing a lot of battery use.

When airplane mode is disabled, wifi is running regardless of whether wifi is enabled or not. According to Better Battery Stats, wifi is running 100% of the time, though I am not at this point completely clear about what BBS means by "running". I do know that when airplane mode is enabled, BBS does not report wifi as running, and battery life is greatly improved.

From a console, executing "ps | grep wifi" returns three processes: android.hardware.wifi@1.0-service, wificond, and wpa-supplicant, unless the phone is in airplane mode in which case wpa-supplicant is not running.

I am not sure what wificond does, so I won't comment on it, but wpa-supplicant should only be running if the wifi is enabled. That wifi is "running" 100% per BBS suggests it is the cause of the battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fubo73:
The same happens here on a Moto G 2014 LTE with LOS 14.1 and S5 with MM, so I believe that it is not an issue of LOS, but I was not able to find any info about neither here on XDA nor on the web.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jiml8:
I first noticed the problem early this year on LOS 14.1 after an upgrade (around march, I think) and since then I have been trying to track the problem down. Thought it was a baseband problem, but there has been no baseband upgrade for my phone so I could not move to a more recent one. None of the tools on my phone enabled me to track this down.

I just purchased and installed BBS thinking perhaps it would help, and it has helped; it is the first app I have seen that has pointed out wifi as constantly running - even when it shouldn't. I have performed a few tests and now think I am looking at a genuine bug.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] zrockcool:
Did everything with this configuration but still it shows me an error. Checked my credentials many times and I even clear cache and data of the app.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] PeterFrostad:
Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem. My klte S5 continues to drop the Bluetooth connection.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Without a logcat its difficult to say. I've verified that config on up to date (19 SEP Unofficial) 15.1. So local firewall maybe one possibility or some server side config with the account.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] krolch:
It's not a bug, it's a....

Hi, same situation here.

It's not a bug but a google location feature.

When Wifi is turned off, go to the wifi configuration page. There you find a link to the relevant configuration page where you can select which services (wifi, bluetooth) can be used by android for enhanced location precision even if the services are turned off by the user.

Battery drain is an issue with LOS15 for me as well. Unchecking the preferences mentioned before didn't make a big difference.

Krolch
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fubo73:
It's not just LOS 15.1. As said, I have the same with S5 MM and Moto G LOS 14.1 and on both BBS reports wifi running [MENTION=1412615]100%[/MENTION] although I disabled everything (also in plane mode). But with some settings for Moto G I am able to get a good battery duration, so I think either BBS is confusing or it is normal to have 100%.

I dunno. There are some strange entries in there. I would clear cache and storage and try again. If it still fails I would clean install.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
That's not a complete logcat. Anyway it looks like there are multiple amazon app processes all of which are crashing. There's something much more fundamental going wrong, I think. I think you need to test with a clean install.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] TheFixItMan:
I've tested the app & I've signed in with no problems

There is an issue with your setup - as Google is also crashing on your setup its probably gapps related

Do a clean install & use mind the gapps

Also by full logcat we mean the entire logcat from the moment you start recording to the end - you have only copied & pasted an error section but my answer would still be the same

guys, does fingerprint reader work in your device using this official LOS 15.1?

In my case it kinda does not, I have here an old spare S5 that is G900F model. Gapps-free setup with Magisk 17.2. Only hardware problems seems to be the fingerprint reader.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Fingerprint sensor requires a fairly recent baseband and a proper format of /data in twrp where you have to type 'yes' to continue. There's an upto date bootloader and baseband link in my sig.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jiml8:
Yes, going to Settings/Google/Location/Scanning and unsetting Wi-Fi scanning is causing wpa-supplicant to be stopped when wifi is disabled. Consequently, BBS now shows wifi stopping. I will see if this improves my battery life; having wifi scanning all the time has to be affecting it.

When I dirty-flashed from LOS14.1 to LOS15.1, I went from opengapps nano to opengapps mini because I wanted to occasionally be able to call an Uber and the Uber app requires google maps. Since then I have had the usual nightmare of taming google...the reason that I was on nano to begin with. This looks like another place where google needs to be tamed.

Regardless, I think that 100% scanning is inappropriate under any circumstances; there are no realistic cases where the phone will be moving fast enough that this is required. Scanning once per second (at most) should be more than adequate under any realistic circumstances.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Enthused9801:
Hey was wondering if someone could answer a few questions?

I want to install lineage OS 15.1 for a friend but from looking at the problems with this ROM it doesn't look like it's a good idea right now. I've tried a few different ones for my moto g2, currently on LOS 14.1. Works perfectly. Waiting patiently for LOS 15.1..

Is everyone having battery issues? Has anyone tried installing I think it was gsam battery monitor with root companion to see where the problem lies exactly?

Bluetooth problems doesn't sound good either, he uses Bluetooth a bit.

Any other ROMs you could recommend for s5 with android 8.1? Or if you could describe your day to day usage as a daily driver, can it be used?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] TheFixItMan:
I use it all the time - battery life could be better but it's no where near as bad as people on here make out

Unless you are using the camera or gaming you can get a day out of it with constant use

I haven't tested Bluetooth as don't really use it

There's a camera wrapper bug if you use 3rd party camera apps which may cause the camera to freeze until restart (lineage os camera app works fine)

I found a slight graphics problem especially with Twitter where if you rapidly load new profiles or fast scroll a profile with lots of autoplay media it causes a memory buffer fault & the app restarts itself or freezes for a bit

Other than that there's nothing else I've found wrong with it
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] gmolds:
I'm going to respectfully disagree with TFM here. I'm happy that his experience is great but to blanketly say that it's nowhere near as bad as people here make out is equally as singular an outlook as one person saying that they have problems therefore it's broke. The fact is many have reported that there is a definite difference in coming to 15.1 from 14.1. And while I am sure some of those are power users or dirty flashed or have a weird modem or some other apps... I would like to assume that some are familiar with LOS and custom ROMs in general.

I like to *think* that I am familiar enough and I can guarantee that I'm no power user. I have never one dirty flashed any Lineage ROMs on my KLTE. I go through the long process of a full SMS/call log backup and full wipe and install/restore for each iteration that I try. I watch the battery usage but I don't go as far as taking notes so I can't really keep complaining because I'm not finding it worth my time to do due diligence to troubleshoot.

In the end I went back to a 14.1 build and my batteries are back to where I saw them before. I see an even newer KLTE 14.1 LOS build on hag's hosted files that I'm thinking of trying too as it may have some security stuff in it.

Anyhow, for others reading along I wanted to try and put a level response out TFM's reply to Enthused's query. I believe there is something going on with 15.1 but I'm not bright enough to track it down... and I don't have enough time to troubleshoot it any further when 14.1 is working fine and I'm not banking or doing much more than SMS/calls/pictures on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] TheFixItMan:
I didn't say there's not a problem but I'm constantly using my phone & I can get a day's use out of it

Yes it can be a lot better & it does drain more than stock would on standby but that's true on pretty much any custom rom on any device - some to a much greater degree than others

Obviously people use varies greatly & some app (like Facebook) will drain the battery a lot faster than others

So to summarize - you are not going to get battery life that will last you days but it's perfectly usable for day to day use

Room works pretty well in my case, the main issue is the battery life but yesterday I had replaced the battery for a new one (old one has more than 4 years...) an battery life now is much better than before. I think that the improvement is not related with last update.

I have also some issues when I restart the phone because it won't recognize the SIM card (Vodafone Spain) and I need to restart 2 or 3 times without WiFi in order to have it.

After this, room works pretty fine, I don't have any problems with Bluetooth or any other part or app (Amazon,...)

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jiml8:
The move from Android 7 to Android 8 was a truly huge move. I had wondered whether any of the devs would undertake it at all on the S5, and I am happy that it was done. Having done similar things myself (not on android...I develop -including a lot of kernel work - in Linux and FreeBSD mostly), I fully understand what has been done here, I appreciate the effort, and I am willing to be patient.

There are issues. Those issues will be worked out over time. I doubt there is any other S5 firmware on Android 8 that is any better; probably any such are derived from LOS.

The codebase is still somewhat immature, but it is still being worked on. I am sure that circumstances will improve.

Unsetting wifi scanning has helped my battery life considerably. That scanner is keeping the wifi modem busy, and that is apparently using a lot of energy.

In my earlier post, I commented that "scanning once per second..." but I thought about that a bit. I have found myself doing a lot of wifi development in freebsd in the recent past, and I am quite familiar with wpa-supplicant, and scanning wifi ranges. It doesn't happen all that fast; usually takes several seconds to complete a scan. So, if our devices are set to scan once per second, they'll never finish. Maybe starting a new scan 5-10 seconds after the previous scan ends is the best way to do it.
