[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
Storage Full, FM Radio, Fingerprint Sensor, Download Speed & Verizon Roaming

If you installed a GApps package (which one?) the apps are installed in the System partition. When they get updated the updates are installed in /Data/app/.

You can downgrade to a smaller Open GApps package:

TWRP > Advanced wipe of Cache + Dalvik / Art Cache ONLY.

Flash LineageOS then Open GApps, in one go without rebooting in between then boot to System.

See Open GApps Wiki - Package Comparison

Besides deleting old LineageOS updates as [MENTION=8031265]kurtn[/MENTION] & [MENTION=4637411]cexcells[/MENTION] mentioned above you could try:

Settings > Storage > Internal shared storage > Free Up Space.

Play Store > My apps & games > Installed > sort by Size and uninstall the ones you did not use for a long time. Also sort by Last Used & scroll down to spot the old smaller ones.

SD Maid > AppCleaner to clear the cache of all apps & make the TWRP backup smaller (screenshot). Check also the other awesome functions to delete left over, old apps, corpses, duplicates, etc.

Check the size of your folders in internal sdcard. Especially WhatsApp if you use it. You need to delete the actual media/messages in your chats because if you delete some in internal sdcard/WhatsApp/Media they will be re-downloaded when viewing the chats where they came from.

FM Radio Fail

Thanks :good: for the feedback. :cool:

I was expecting that Spirit2 would not work on the S5 SM-G900P running Pie because the last update was in December 2015 & possible missing Samsung blobs for the FM chip in the G900P.

Sadly the Spirit2 dev got very sick & died. :(

Fingerprint Sensor

Maybe. You can capture a logcat & search it with biometrics and with fingerprint.

Did you try as suggested to [MENTION=9621336]Privateblood[/MENTION] and to you in LineageOS 16.0 S5 Battery Usage @ Idle - Test with vs. without registered fingerprint?

While I could find biometrics.fingerprint@2.1-service references in BetterBatteryStats & GSam there are no specific battery usage for it as they are included in Android System in GSam > App usage > Android System > Included processes > android.hardware.biometrics.fingerprint@2.1-service for example.

And also in the battery usage of the apps with the fingerprint permission.

Download Speed & Verizon

Thanks :good: for the feedback & the attachments. :cool:

Ref.: S5 G900V. The fact that you can get a 50 Mbps download speed which is very high w/ LTE on the S5 is the proof that your baseband/modem is perfect & that your settings are fine.

The other results are just variations in coverage, signal strength & cell tower competing traffic.

The "Roaming Indicator Off" you get is because you are near what Verizon calls "Extended Network: Connected to LTE with one of Verizon's roaming partner". See Verizon Wireless Coverage Map.

It's network providers making deals to save money by installing less cell towers: you can use my cell tower in region x if you let me use yours in region y.

But LineageOS can't show that "Extended Network" label hence that "Roaming Indicator Off" because Verizon does not want to say Roaming for marketing reasons.

Could you do me a favor & edit your post to add the exact device model & your current baseband please? That also helps when searching the thread with keywords like 900V for example.

Feedback Please?

Heloooo [MENTION=6061286]MeisterManuel23[/MENTION]? I took the time to reply to your questions in S5 Adreno GPU Drivers & Dying Battery?. Some feedback would be appreciated.

That's because of the secret NSA spyware update. :eek:
