Ever since going from MyFroyo RC4 to RC5 & RC6 (and even the Cyanogen RC01, I have had problems with my wifi.
I am posting here to see if anyone else is experiencing these problems, and to find out what changed between RC4 and RC5.
I have no cell service at my house, so when I flash a new ROM, I need to leave the house and go to an area where I get service before I can connect to the Google Servers to set up my device. When on Wifi, I also have problems downloading Google items in the market (such as Google Search Bar) and can't even use Google.com to search for anything. It times out. I can, however, use other websites and download other items (once I've set up my device remotely).
If I am setting this up over Edge or 3G, there are never any problems.
If I re-flash back to MyFroyo RC4, I can use my wifi with no problem to do everything I need.
I really love the updates since RC4 - but am worried that I'll be left in the dust since all the builds since RC4 have had this issue for me. :-/
I'm in the same boat and experience the same WiFi issues.

I've never had a single Wifi issue, although I never really tested on RC1 too much. I'm currently running Eugene's newest CM6, have you tried that one yet?

supposed to be a cyanogenmod issue though i havent experienced it myself (i also have horrible service 1-2 bars edge max) using wifi everything loads up fast and everything downloads just fine! but if i were you i would try the nightlies they are supposed to have fixed the problem by now if im not mistaken
I've experienced a lot of this too. Marker downloads were pretty much not happening for me, no matter what - Wifi or Data. On data, it would download but never install. On Wifi no images in the market would load and no download would activate. I also couldn't use Google.com or sign into Gmail via the browser or other Google services. I did a lot of searching and heard it could be Google.
What I did to fix it... I did some nandroids, I did some wipes and updates and complete formats, etc. What I finally think I had was a problem in my packages.xml file where so many programs were mismatched due to Froyo's ability to use apps2fat32. I think at some point some nandroiding I had done,etc screwed up my package assignments and then I just fresh installed and DO NOT BACK DATA/SETTINGS UP WITH GOOGLE! haha, I honestly think that had a lot to do with it also...Go into your Privacy and turn auto restore off, turn backup data off, then reset your device with a wipe of it all and such, boot up and don't select backup with Google. I've had no more issues really.

I've actually tried the new nightly's and still have the same problems. I've also tried completely wiping it and starting from scratch- and made sure not to back up w/ GOOGLE servers- but to no avail.
I wonder if anyone on here can figure out what changed between MyFroyo RC4 and RC5 that could cause this - seems something is blocking the Google Synch. I've also experienced the problems mentioned above regarding the market items not downloading, no images, etc. Just seems weird that it worked completely fine before RC5, which came out around the same time as the Cyanogen 6 Slide RC1
From my personal experience I'd have to say that wifi is slightly bugged. Drops randomly and occassionally won't detect my network when other Android devices will (any encryption, which is for suckers anyway )
At least I know I'm not the only one w/ this problem. I couldn't find a cyanogen defect for this issue.
Same here. I have no wifi. My g1 connects just fine and my hd2 but on the slide its a no go. Ive tried everything but eventually just gave up. Im using Eugenes Ota update. Im not sure if its just the slide in general but my wifi doesn't work period. It'll connect but if i load up youtube or try the web I get a no connection error. Its very peculiar. Incredibly peculiar.
I am having the same issue. I noticed people talked about it with CM6 rc1 but not everyone was having the issue and the subject died off. Ive tried reloading, wiping everything, htcclay's new version but nothing seems to help. The wifi is just strange will work for a page or two than fail to load or loads half way. Also tried on several different networks. Does anyone know if the driver is the same in eugenes as in these later ones?
After wiping and keeping a good eye on everything, the issue I have with Wifi and the browser is that sometimes it just hangs about 75% page load and doesn't really change unless I leave the phone go for a bit and wait for it to load.
Downloaded Opera Mini (only browser I could find that doesn't use the native browser). With Opera, I've actually hadn't had any loading issues or anything weird like that happen. So many a possible partial-bypass is using another browser? It helped me, just thought I'd share.

Same bugginess happening here, too. Iffy, at best. Other than that and of course the non-necessary FN and CAPS light, this is the only issue, anymore, that I can see.

Thx donkey72!
I posted this in NilsP's Business GingerSense thread, but don't think it's a ROM issue, more of a Google Talk issue. Running the 2.0 version of that ROM.
The issue is where Google Talk shows all your contacts as Offline after a period of say five to ten minutes, maybe shorter than that. I'll be messaging someone, and after a few minutes when they haven't responded, I'll wake my phone and open GT. All the contacts are Offline. A simple sign out/sign in fixes that, and the usual contacts show Online or Away.I've noticed this all week, so I'm thinking it's a GT issue, but I've never had it happen before.
Don't want to have to sign out/in every time I want to use it. Cleared GT cache, fix permissions, multiple wipes of data/system/cache/boot/dalvik/user data before each ROM install, and haven't had this before now.
Thoughts?
EDIT: After playing, it happens when switching from 3G to WiFi and vice versa, so maybe it is a ROM thing...?
i'm having the same issue. noticed after my gingerbread OTA update from verizon.
Droid 2.
It seems to happen a few minutes after logging on.
I also have that issue with Gtalk. After some time all contacts appear to be offline, but only when I'm on data connection and not on wifi.
There is still no solution for this?
Cheers!

Me too. Anyone was able to do something?
Well I've since moved on, and haven't noticed it on other ROMs. Right now I just tested toggling Wifi on and off, and the contacts would appear offline, then come online once 3g or wifi connected.
I'm thinking in my case, it was that version of the ROM I was running at the time.

Just a thought, check any task killers / managers and make sure talk is unchecked. I had the same problem a long time ago and ATK was the culprit. Haven't had the issue since and I have used almost every Rom possible at one point or another

True. Right after I rooted over a year ago, I had an issue with the alarm clock not going off intermittantly, and coincidentally I was using ATK at the time. After reading that ATK could be the issue, uninstalling it fixed the issue. Since then, I don't actively kill tasks, but I do have System Panel installed just in case.
I'm running Stock+ v2.6, and since moving on from v2.0 of NilsP's ROM where I had the initial issue, I haven't noticed/had the problem.

Hi,
Me and the other user are I9000 users. No task killers. We're trying to figure out if its a stock / custom ROM issue (since we're both using the same ROM), or some app forcing GTalk to sign out, or even a network problem (we both use the same mobile operator).
Thank you both for your input.
If you're on a stock ROM (you're both rooted right?), back up your ROM and flash another just to see if it happens in something different.

Yes, we are.
The thing is that it seems to me that it happened only after XXVJR (meaning it happened to me in XXJVS and XXJVT, and now we're already at XWJVU, all these being Samsungs "leaks"), and I have a friend with XXJVS that works just fine.
I even tried flashing a stock ROM, to see if it happens again. Testing that one now.
Thanks for your advice.
Same problem here.
Although I have not tried it with stock non rooted phone...
I'm having the same problem on a stock rooted Motorola Photon. Very annoying to have to sign out and back in to see who's online. Hopefully someone comes to the rescue with a solution.
Hi,
The only thing I could find is that the problem is, indeed, NOT in the custom ROM's. It's google's problem.
The only way I could get by was with an alternative IM. And, for me, the better is Trillian (taking battery, performance, etc. in consideration.)
I updated my software which included an updated gtalk with video..so far so good.

I am having this issue too. I have had it since the beginning, when I had the preinstalled stock rom, I had it with all the other stock roms I flashed, I had it with all the versions of Talk I tried (those which supported video calls), I had it with all the other customs roms I tried (Simplicity, CyanogenMod, MIUI). I never used any task killer. For these reasons I am strongly convinced this is a Google Talk related bug.
Some more details about the problem:
after a few minutes after having logged in, contacts are shown offline on Android while they appear online on the desktop client;
despite their offline status I still receive messages from them and as soon as I answer only that contact appears online while the others keep being shown offline;
signing out and back in fixes the problem temporarily, but it happens again after a few minutes.
What surprises me is how come very few people seem noticing it or being annoyed by it? How come a huge bug like this has been out for so long and Google hasn't fixed it yet? All the posts I have seen reporting this problem on Google Talk Help Forum have been ignored.
Exact same problem with my I9100, Gtalk with video. Very annoying.
I have the SGS i777 (Samsung Galaxy S2 on AT&T), and just recently (since late February) started experiencing the same issue. When on WiFi, it doesn't appear to be an issue, only when not on WiFi, particularly if I have just recently turned off WiFi.
Other "friends" show me as "Away", so I am connected.
This is bone stock 2.3.6 Samsung official ROM (never rooted UCKK6).
I tried crawling a bit through the logs (aLogCat output), filtering for "[Tt]alk", but I can't make enough heads or tails about where the failure might be (not being an actual developer), other than lots of messages get created. I'll see if I can't figure something more useful out about it.
A hard reset with no apps installed has the same problem. Though I've noticed that the problem appears to get "worse" as the phone "ages" - namely, hard reset fixes the problem, but it slowly (over days) gets worse and worse.
Update: I have not noticed this issue at all since getting the official Samsung/AT&T ICS build (IML74K.CLE5).
Google Talk failing for toooo loooong
Hi there,
I'm a cyanogen 7.1 (stable) android user, and I just want to join myself to every other person who's affected by this issue.
I'll leave here some links to other places discussion exactly the same issue:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=gtalk%20offline&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=24242
You may check this thread: groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!topic/chat/6m0YqHoiIDg
Until now, I wasn't also able to find any clue to what the cause may be.
Starting to suspect that's something on Google's side, not android/rom itself.
Maybe something to do with our google accounts' settings?
Are there any news about this issue? I'm having the same problem.
Hey,
does anybody have experience with this? My desire is running Gingervillain 3.3, I've read that some people have been having GPS problems (can't post in Development threads yet).
Anyway, my GPS is working fine, but when I'm using the runkeeper app, sometimes GPS stops to work, seemingly at random. Sometime a reset of the app is enough, sometimes I have to reboot the phone in order to getg it to work again.
Anyone know whether this is a Gingervillain or a Runkeeper app issue? Will I have the same problems if I download an alternative app like RunStar to upload my data to runkeeper?
Thanks in advance,
Saxelfur
I have had a few bugs with GPS on GV 3.3, nothing to major tho. like the GPS icon doesn't disappear, or it randomly reboots if I use My Tracks with screen off and smartass governor... and sometimes despite setting my gps to Europe using fix faster instead of a <10 sec fix it can take nearly 5 mins to get down to <100mtrs (in the same location I might add)
In relation to your problem I have had that... but I found simply task killing any app accessing your location, usually the Browser or Maps, it'll work; or in my case the Facebook app seems to keep trying to get a location (and launching on its own) when I actually have all sync n notifications disabled..
anyways maybe you want to try the app fix faster, it did seem to make my gps more stable and faster, it does have a problem from time to time, but it works, and for the most part works fast and stable (normal GPS fix for google navigation - 3 secs).
So yea probably a ROM problem...
and o yea - you wouldn't want to post this question in the development section - unless you put it on the GV thread... This is the right place for questions.
Hey,
I just wanted to give you some feedback: ever since I've been using FasterFix, I've not had any GPS troubles at all. Just have to remember to activate it before using gps.
Thanks again!

Alright, I’ve had Sourcery JB on my phone for a while now. V4.3
Over time these are the problems I just can’t understand and need some light shined on them please.
The GPS:
Is a joke. It has NEVER been accurate one single time since I’ve installed the rom. It’s always 2000+m OFF. what the faq? All my apps are updated, what’s the deal?
Sending pictures:
I use GOSMS. However, I CANNOT for ANYTHING send pictures via text in this app. I have to go through the native app every single f’ving time and that only works 50% of the time. Wtf is going on here? Is it AT&T? Is it the rom or my phone or what?
Would going back to stock JB fix all these issues? I love the ROM(s) but the problems listed above are VERY important to get working as they are some of most basic functions phones have.
I almost just updated to JBSourcery V5 and tried sending picture using default text msg app. Still, same results. It won’t f’ving send.
Please help.
Not sure about your GPS issues - mine has always been pretty quick to lock regardless of the ROM I'm using.
But in regards to your problems with MMS messaging - I had the same issue on every ROM, including stock until I switched to AOKP. I called ATT to make sure everything on their end was as it needed to be. Double and triple checked my APN settings, all to no avail. Not sure what it was about this particular ROM, but since flashing, I haven't had any issues.

Yes, but after flash make sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache. I did and everything is working fine. Wiping caches as a must though.
mobile data issue
Hello,after flashing this ROM mobile data isn't working. I tried to change APN with "Change APN" from play market, but I have a message "access point name settings are not available for this user" and when I try to add APN it is not save them. How to change APN? In preview port mobile data not worked too, but I repair it with change APN.

CM12.0 Issues on LS970 Sprint
Let me first say I love the ROM... Good Job... I am however having a few serious issues...
1) While making a call, the phone immediately disconnects. When I call back, the other caller is still connected so it goes to voice mail. I will have to reboot the phone. This happens every time and is very difficult to manage since I have to enable airplane mode to end the call.
2) Phone calls will not end, pressing the end icon only makes the end option go away but the phone call is still in progress. I tried using a bluetooth headset and only the device.
3) The bluetooth cuts off, wades out and disconnects very often. I have tried multiple devices and have the same issue.
4) No SIM card- Sprint appears in notification bar on lock screen and can't be removed.
5)Voicemail by long pressing # one doesn't work
If you could please direct me how I can fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dialer
I am a fool in love with this ROM. Everything about it except one major bug that has already been mentioned. I cannot make calls! The first time I make a call, it immediately reports "Call ended" although the person on the other end does get a silent call from me beyond my control. This blew up on me when someone important I was trying to call thought I was pranking them. I have to jump ship until it's fixed. Thanks for this almost perfect ROM.

Bluetooth Audio, Android Wear and Data
Some observations:
Bluetooth audio does not work for me. Tried multiple devices. They connect, but none will play audio. Phone audio does work however.
Android Wear is a little wonky with LG G Watch. Got the common Android Wear repeatedly crashing. Had to uninstall all Wear apps and reset the watch. That seemed to clear it up, but I'm not sure if all of the notifications are coming through.
Sprint data is odd to begin with. It seems when you lose wifi, cell data does not connect on it's own (I see the exclamation point icon). Toggling airplane mode sometimes worked to restore data. Rebooting seemed to work well.
Finally, I have a Google Voice number integrated with my Sprint number. Messenger doesn't work at all and Hangouts only sends texts. Only the Voice app fully works for me.
Great ROM! Can I use nightly updates from within the ROM?
Thanks for a great Lollipop ROM! One question:
In the Settings>About Home>CyanogenMod updates there are "Available Updates" listed, there are nightlies. Are these useful in any way or they unrelated to this unofficial L rom?
Also -- just a status on this ROM for me, it seems very usable and stable. A couple issues I've found:
- the provided Messaging app won't send out for me, it shows "SMS disabled" in the text area under messages. I installed "Google Messenger" and it works fine.
- there is a NO SIM CARD - SPRINT message on the lockscreen, but this phone doesn't use a SIM card (on the Sprint version anyway)
- the camera works but the exposure does not adjust dynamically: what I mean is that the stock camera lets you touch/focus a dark area of the photo and the entire image will brighten up to adjust the exposure for that spot in the image. In the same way touching a bright spot will dim the entire image a bit to expose better for that spot. This is not working in the camera app. I installed the Google Camera from the Play Store and it works the same, so I think an exposure variable is not communicating or something similar. I can manually adjust exposure but that does not solve it everyday usage where touching a spot usually adjusts both focus and exposure.
I hope this all helps improve the ROM. Thanks again!
PS. The earlier post mentioned bluetooth problems. For me, bluetooth is working perfect so far, including Bluetooth LE 4.0 connecting to my Fitbit.
Installing gapps with TWRP vs Phils Touch (Clockwork Mod)
A note on installation -- with TWRP 2.8.3.0 I was able to flash the main ROM but would get an error while trying to flash the 1109 version of gapps for Android 5:
" gapps error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip ". This leaves things broken and rebooting shows endless error dialogs.
To solve this, in TWRP I wiped and then flashed the main ROM file again, then flashed Phil's Touch version of Clockwork recovery for the LS970 ( philz_touch_6.23.3-ls970.zip ). I rebooted into Clockwork recovery and was able to flash gapps successfully.
Next time I think starting with Phil's Clockwork instead of TWRP would have made things easier for setting up this ROM.
Nightlies: Enabling root access and granting superuser to apps
SuperSU stopped working for me on the nightlies and I found out this is now built into CM12. Here is how I enabled root access and superuser management:
1. go to Settings > About phone > then repeatedly tap Build number to enable Development options menu
2. go to the newly enabled Settings > About phone > Development options
3. set Root access for Apps as needed
A prompt will appear when trying to use an app that needs root and the user can grant superuser access for that app, no SuperSU app needed anymore.
Various permissions can also be managed per app in the Settings > Privacy > Privacy Guard area (double tapp an app in the list there to see settings).
Sprint Visual Voicemail
One thing for Sprint Optimus G users who want this as a daily driver, Sprint Visual Voicemail is the best way to do voicemail (on Sprint, anyway). See instructions and APK here:

I really love how well this runs! I'm coming from Vanir and Commotio which is no longer being updated. The battery life on this is pretty good so far. I do have a question though. I assume the # symbol in the status bar is for root, but I'd really like to get rid of it. Does anyone know of a way to do this? As for the camera, I set the app to manual exposure under advanced settings and made it +2 (which is the highest allowed in the app). This helps but doesn't completely eliminate the need for dynamic on-the-fly exposure. Also, my 5ghz wifi doesn't work. Calls work fine for me. Proximity is good. Auto brightness is good(I think). 2.4ghz wifi is fine. 3g data is fine. Can't tell if 4g works as I haven't been able to get into a 4g area yet. Since the stock app was listed as not working I'm just using 8sms and it works just fine for texts. Overall fantastic job! Hard to believe this is so new and running like a daily driver!
Edit* Also, for me at least, gesture typing doesn't work with stock keyboard. I haven't tried swiftkey, swype, etc. yet, though.

@thejase About the # sign in the status bar, are you using SuperSU or something similar? If so, you don't need that anymore as root functionality is managed within the CM12 ROM now (see my earlier post on the steps to enable root within CM12).
Slowdowns and killing apps
After using various apps (browser, facebook, twitter, youtube, etc) I have experienced things get slow and just stop a couple times, perhaps an out-of-memory situation or some type of accumulation.
I noticed when force-restarting the phone that apps sometimes re-appear in the app switcher/card list even if they were closed previously. This might be an L bug beyond this ROM. Restarting the phone about once a day seems to help.
$G/LTE and also SMS/MMS using Google Messenger

.... Can't tell if 4g works as I haven't been able to get into a 4g area yet. Since the stock app was listed as not working I'm just using 8sms and it works just fine for texts. Overall fantastic job! Hard to believe this is so new and running like a daily driver!
Edit* Also, for me at least, gesture typing doesn't work with stock keyboard. I haven't tried swiftkey, swype, etc. yet, though.

I'm in a 4G/LTE area and it works great! For SMS I've found that installing the official Google Messenger from the Play Store provides a working version of the very smooth Lollipop SMS/MMS experience on this ROM -- for example, when people send me MMS photos it creates a neat photo gallery right within the chat. Here is a link:

Google announced that there is a memory leak, they are fixing or have fixed it and it should be in the next update/release. 5.0.3 I think they said.
