First, I hope I am in the right spot. I am looking to get some help with a Bluetooth problem. I love the rom, but I am having some issues with bluetooth connectivity. I do not recall which radio I am using, nor do I know how to tell. The rooting process was somewhat of a blur.
Problem Details:
Bluetooth pairs with my car exactly as I would expect. Transfers the entire contact list to my car's internal phone book (after a security warning). This works perfectly (waaaaay better than my iPhone 3GS did). However, when I get in the car to leave, the bluetooth connection rarely happens. I get a connection failed. Sometimes I can manually re-connect, but lately I am having to reboot the phone. Once rebooted things usually work. I am also occasionally getting a Force Close on the "Phone" app when dialing from the car.
I first used attn1's hack kit and used the current CoreDroid which was 4.7. It had the same intermittent connect issues, so I updated to the latest version. This version actually seems like it could be a little worse.
Any suggestions? Please let me know what additional information you may need.
Thanks

Hi bfrd,
Welcome to XDA.
Unfortunately this is not the right spot to post your question. What you should have done is searched the CoreDroid thread for the issue you're having and see if there is any info about the problem you are having. Here is a link to the search results for "Bluetooth" in that thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=65753748
If you can't find what you're looking for via searching then post a question in that thread of the rom you are using. The Development sub-forum for any device is for Dev's to post or for the occasionally helpful instructional post. Otherwise you should post rom specific questions within the rom's thread and non rom questions in the General sub-forum.
Good luck with your problem and happy searching.
please post in the appropriate rom thread..thread closed.

First the usual "appologies" that seem to be "a must" in this forum.
1.) Reason for not posting in the V4 thread is simply because that thread is too large, too full of non-subject replies.
2.) I have read the 2:nd FAQ post, does not even mention the problem with the GPS
3.) I have read the wiki
4.) I have searched the forum (and it does not even find anything because GPS has too few letters)
5.) I have browsed through 50 pages in the V4 thread and did not find an answer (and got tired reading ).
So, my problem:
GPS does not work after I installed the V4 rom. It did work in V3.
I have tried quick GPS, I also started GPS-tool (which did not get a fix either or find any satellites).
The orange blinking LED does not start when using GPS tool (it starts in miomap however).
And googlemaps does not get a fix (or find any satellites) either.
My radio is 12.32 , if that has anything to do with GPS?! I have sim-unlocked the phone. I live in Sweden.
I read a few posts where people seem to have a problem with their GPS after changing radio, even when they revert back to their original radio. During the sim-unlocking process the radio is temporarily changed, maybe that is the source of the problem?

What is the deal with everyone starting new threads instead of posting in the thread where it needs to be.
MY gps works just fine. 1.27.12.11 radio with dutty v4 rom.

I like it.. you apologised for not following the rules.. then didnt follow them. excellent.
The Dutty V4 thread is the one most likely to be of use.. I know its full of people not posting in the right place.. but adding to that isn't going to help.
As to the problem.. People keep reporting GPS issues with the Radio ROM's... Now It may be me but the radio rom shouldnt have anything to do with the GPS... unless im mistaken its a seperate chip and will have a seperate flash (which you probably cant modify)
What COM port are you trying to use? What are your External GPS settings set too in the control panel?
I got no problems with new threads on new issues. 150+ pages is just useless.
I haven't seen the GPS problem you talk about. Might try re-flashing your radio version, or a different version.
No neither do I.. But this isn't a new issue..
Loads of people are saying they have GPS issues after flashing..
At least a few of them I've seen are actually caused by people not understanding what they are on about (A few of the people seem to be confused by the fact the GPS may be on a different COM port after the flash for example)
the others all seem to follow the logic that changing the radio may help.. so trying that would be a good place to start (flashing back to the radio the device e shipped with for example and seeing if the GPS now works int he new Os with the old radio?)
I've never had a GPS problem.. But have seen all these fixes so many times whilst reading other threads I can regurgitate them, and thats without even searching for this issue.

start gps test
program files\chartcross\gpstest\bin\gpstest
this works for me
"Duttys DualTouch v4 RTM Release [ FAQ added in Post 2]" thread on 158 page
Go through the setup again.... If need be try a hard reset then Run GPSTest
Ensure you are using a radio compatible with Dutty's ROM. Try one or all of
these first, then report back what you find if it doesn't come back.
You shouldn't have to duck when you poke your head into the forum. Just be thankful it's not a contact sport yet. Just because you're using one ROM or another avoid attributing the problems/issues with that persons ROM. There are so many things that can create problems and user error is the biggest culpret.
Who can blame you for not putting this under the ROM release thread? It's too broad, likely not applicable, and everyone and his uncle has posted something there.
Cheers.
Ok thanks for the answers. Somehow the GPS just started working again, but I will never know why I started google maps, mio maps, tomtom a few times, and suddenly after 2 days the gps started working I was just about changing rom and radio, but now it seems as if I will stick to V4 a couple of days
thanks!
this version works ok with nearly all apps and cooked apps the only problem is the touchflo, the touch flo works but its not 100%
Ages ago I was sure I saw somewhere about how to copy the bluetooth pairing info into a cab/oem, so that I would be ready to go after flashing the new rom.
Despite much searching I can only find how to do the wifi settings.
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Cheers.
EDIT: I see the proposed solutions below at PPCGeeks. I will try this out later this week but don't have time to do so now. I shall report back in due course.
I would love to know this as well, as It's a pain to repair my car every time I flash my phone.

Moved this to the Raphael Section, I recommend that you repost the solution here giving credit to the original author.
The solution presented here doesn't seem to work for most folks. There must be MORE reg keys to back up still.
If it helps, I can confirm backing up that registry part and importing it back does not help pairing my car radio with my phone...
The solution in the link did not work for me either.
Using SKtracker I have identified a few other keys, but that still did not seem to be everything. I will keep digging in to this when I get a chance.
there is a series of posts on page 3 or 4 of my UCMe2 thread (in signature) that describes this issue and why is isn't likely to be solved "easily"
Greetings all, first time post / long time watcher. Love the forums, been on Android since the very first G1 and these forums have been fantastic over the years.
I have Cyanogenmod 3.4.0 June 7th nightly and have been having this same issue since the first. Headphones work great for music, movies, etc... Even can hear emulated DTMF tones just fine, however when I get into a call there is no far end audio coming through, pretty weird. If i unplug the headset, i can hear just fine from the phone speaker. It is only when the headset is plugged in... What gives? Just wanted to make sure that someone was aware and that there is a bug worth fixing. I noticed in the nightly thread (which i am not authorized to post to yet) that others have complained about this as well. Wish I could collaborate there, but alas I cannot so here I sit on Q&A.
Outside of that, GPS issue is a bother. Must disable "Wi-Fi & mobile network location" in order to sync up with a GPS. Doing this kills the location features which is a super downer, so I find myself toggling this on and off all the time just depending on what I need to do.
I am able and willing to provide technical feedback in the form of logs, images and whatever is needed to help resolve. Just let me know what I can do. Thanks a bunch!

Having the same problem with GPS
ogonzoo,
I'm having the same problem with GPS. So far, I haven't been able to get it to work except by toggling off the Wifi/Mobile Network location. I did run across a post mentioning a possible fix involving a Touchwiz ROM, but I'm not sure I understood.
I found this other thread seeming to explain the procedure for actually implementing that fix, but I don't know how to apply it to the Cyanogenmod Nightly ROM (assuming that's even possible). Hopefully someone else here will.
EDIT:
Apparently, there's a pretty extensive discussion of this problem in the thread where I read invisiblek's post (first link above), starting at about page 31. It seems to be an acknowledged bug and the Cyanogenmod devs are supposed to address it in a forthcoming build.
Q&A for [ROM] [ALPHA]cm12.1- TN-kltespr-5.1 4/04/2015
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM] [ALPHA]cm12.1- TN-kltespr-5.1 4/04/2015. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
GPS won't lock. Tried Google maps and Waze.. No lock.. Rebooted, cleared cache, still not able to locate me.
I got lock right away no problem.
i can't hang a call, and the phone doesn't ring con incoming calls
When i make a phone call and push the hang Button just says hanging but doesnt do it and besides when someone calle me the phone doesnt evento ring or anything i already checo the notification and sound profiles.
Pretty Solid So Far
Been loving the ROM so far (Just loaded the 4/11 build)! Thank's for all the awesome work to get CM12.1 stable on the S5 (I've been very unimpressed with man of the other ROMs).
So here are a few things that I have seen:
The one way bluetooth audio (Yamaha sound bar) has been very stable, except for when I attempt to scan for other devices. Then it gets quite squirely.
The built-in APNs do not function correctly on Ting (a Sprint MVNO), however an APN MOD for CM11 appeared to fix this (https://help.ting.com/entries/42358068-LTE-MMS-APN-Fix-Android-4-4-Kit-Kat-)
Flixster won't play any videos (not sure if this is specific to this ROM or if it's a general CM issue, as the stock roms work just fine). Not sure where to look on this one, because any references to flixster not working are quite old and not the same error that I'm receiving (Simply an unable to play the video vs. due to security issues - root check).
Otherwise nothing else to complain about at this point. Keep it up!!!
income calls
I have no income calls, any idea? Thanks
So in reference to the GPS lock issues, I have noticed one behavior and it sounds like the dev forum may have recently shed some light.
In my case I've found that if I perform a restore via TWRP, then GPS fails to lock. However a full wipe/install functions just fine.
Go read more in the dev forum about this being a possible known issue with CM, and a workaround (haven't tried it myself or I'd describe it here).

The only issues I'm currently experiencing are:
When I cone out of airplane mode, the signal icon says I have no carrier signal.
The issue with not bring able to connect to TING. I plan on trying to publish that the 4.4 APN Mod still works for 5.x, and hopefully I can get TN to add it to their ROM forum page.
Does this have any volume boost integrated? If not, how hard is it for me to do it myself?
Will xposed work on this ROM?

Anyone able to double tap home to open the camera to work? All the other options work except that one. Maybe it's a CM issue because this didn't work for CM12 either.

I also have that issue, sometimes the connection actually just goes away for a couple of minutes too
hi i am on 5.0 od3 can install this rom?
But I'm not allowed to do so, because I need 10 posts to post in any development forum.
I can understand this move, because of spammers and annoying kids. However, I'm a less active person who would only post on real issues. I just registered 1-2 weeks ago, to get help installing Xposed on 5.1.1.
So maybe anybody can help me now:
The main problem is, WLAN starts to sleep when my Galaxy S3 turns into standby. I got the PAC ROM pac_i9300-lp-mr1-Official-20150712. I already checked the advanced options of WLAN, and it says always keep alive.
To any person with authority: I would be glad to get access with just my few posts, so I can directly ask in the correct development forum.
Or is there a better place to get help? I'm barely lurking around, just for issues, until now. Thank you!
