[Q] Verizon Galaxy S4 / SCH-I545 - Issues with Headphones and GPS

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!

At least you have that. Nothing fixes mine. Won't even see one bird. ..

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] Bluetooth handsfree problem

I have a Sony bluetooth head unit in my car which supports handfree and audio streaming profiles. I can play my music through the head unit just fine via bluetooth. I can also make and receive calls without problem when I am listening to the radio (ie when I am not listening to my own music). However, when I am playing my own tunes and I either make or receive a call, the head unit indicates I am on a call, it mutes the music but I just get silence through the speakers.
I used to have a Galaxy S Advance and it all worked just fine without too much configuration on the phone or head unit; basically just pair them up, make sure the right boxes are ticked in the bluetooth options and thats it.
Any idea what the problem could be? I've tried an upgrade to 4.2.2 but it didn't help...

Hi,
I have a similar problem. I can pair my s2 plus with cm11 from this thread to my car kit (Parrot MKi 9200). Playing music via phone on the car speakers works fine but when I place a call the receiving phone just gets loud static (and my voice very very silent).
I wanted to ask the developer of the cm11 I am using if he sees a way to exchange the bluetooth module (or what androis equivalent is) to the one of e.g. Android 4.1.2 because I know that one works perfectly. I am posting here because I havent reached 10 posts yet.
Of course I am open to other workarounds and ideas.
Thanks,
Kiesel

Bluetooth
Same issue here,
everything (music etc.) is okay, but the phone connection.
I'm connecting to my Ford Sync.
I can connect, but then the quality of the voice is very very bad, I can hardly understand anything...
I thing there's a configuration file in the etc/ folder, maybe that need some upgrade?!?
Hope someone can help, because I really like to keep CM11 on my phone...

How is this message supposed to be of any help? Of course we know that. We have seen a lot of threads. I have read the whole bug report including all the comments on googlegroups, I have browsed dozens of websites and googled my ass of. What I didnt find was an explanation (at this point I dont expect to find a fast solution anymore). After reading the googlegroups bug call I thought it was a problem with the bluetooth stack that apparently is being redeveloped by google. But here cooldevelopment said it isnt a google problem.
I fully understand that it must be annoying for you to see this question a million times but please understand, that it is also annoying (and unsatisfactory) to not know whats going on.

I know what you mean but i think the best method now is to wait until cooldev find a solution to this

As this is a bluetooth problem topic, i just want to ask one question. Can't use the CM 11 and ROM's based on it, because the sound problems with connection in my car. So back to stock ROM. I flashed the cooldev's kernel to get a better battery life, but after flashing, bluetooth makes the same problem as CM. Do you guys have the same issue?

Hmm, interesting. I will try this out as well. Might probably be a week though, I am leaving for holidays tonight and cant risk making my phone unusable. Maybe somebody else is willing to give it a try?

Thanks now i know where to search the problem.

Hi,
here is a logcat of a bluetooth connection during a call on stock rom/stock kernel.
What I did:
-start logcat
-start bluetooth
-chose a contact
-call contact-
-talk for a minute
-hang up
-stop logcat
I then wanted to flash the mosh kernel and do the same again but the last time I checked there wasnt this huge plethora of different kernels to choose from. Very impressive work!
Could you tell me which one you would like me to flash and I would then redo everything?

Hi,
I tried installing mosh kernel 1.8 and 1.85 (for stock, init.d enabled) on sazy rom but it didnt boot. It stayed at the very first screen you get when you turn the phone on. I then installed your cm11 build8, connected via bluetooth to my car and had someone call me.
Attached is the logcat.
Do I need the samsung stock rom for mosh kernel? I thought sazy rom was a stock rom?

[Q] Relay can't hear input from any bluetooth device, LAME

Am I the only Relay user having trouble using voice command thru bluetooth?
I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.2, on tmobile, and using google voice/talktone for calls.
On both bluetooth car kits I've tried (Blueant Commute and Kinivo BT450), things work fine (music, navigation, reading incoming texts, taking calls) until I try to voice command the phone thru the BT unit.
I've tried:
~ google now, voice search, voice dialer
~ turning on talkback (hate that constant reading of each page, AGHH!)
~ blueant app (does F%&&% all)
~ every tip on both gear's support pages
~ tmobile's support page (HA!)
~ even reverted back to stock (in case it was CM), and IT STILL SUCKED MY @**#&#$
I am ready to throw this POS phone against the nearest underpass..... if someone can solve this, I will send you thanks, and a present. Seriously.
(I appreciate all advice, but feedback from those who have this prob, or solved this prob are the most helpful. THX)

We (TeamApexQ) have thrown ourselves against this wall a few times, to no avail. This is a known issue in our sound configuration. It really comes out of the fact that getting this to work would involve having a bluetooth device work in two separate profiles (A2DP for output, SCO for input) at once which is not a trivial or easy thing to implement. What we need are more logs of this issue, and probably some direct communication in IRC with a couple of testers to bang this one out.

OK, so I'm not a retard. hehe, thanks for that, I was going crazy thinking it must be some setting I overlooked. Strange though, it still didn't work when I reverted to stock.... no? (THAT must be something I am doing wrong...)
After 6 months enjoying CM10 (big thumbs up for TeamApexQ!!), I can't bear the thought of trying to suffer thru stock rom....what's the closest rom to CM that has good bluetooth integration..?

Now, someone can correct me if I am wrong on this, but I believe all of the community images are using the same sound configuration that TeamApexQ has been developing since CM 10.1, so... None of them. Again, with some community assistance, logcats, testing, and patience we can fix it.

Please, please, please issue a 'logcat -c' before doing this proceedure to capture a log of the issue, to clear the log, and to avoid having us to sift through every log your phone has taken since reboot.
Also, send us the contents of the 'dmesg' command after encountering the issue, just to rule out anything on the kernel side.

Giving it a shot
I'm not a big camera user anyway, so I'm going to give this a shot. Wish me luck!

Hi Plesse fix camera THX

Hi there..
Is 4g/Lte working?

4g LTE dont work

Great job!
Thanks for your work! This ROM is awesome and if you fix the camera too you're a god. By the way... on this forum there is another Lollipop ROM (Candyrom) where the camera is working. Can you use that? i'm a noob so don't judge me

Just flashed earlier today and seems to be working great! cheers man. Any update on the camera?
Thanks

Camera Works!!!
Great job!!! The camera works and the system is very fluid. i notice some problems on activating mobile data. First time i tried it didn't work. I switch some APN, turned Airplane mode on/off (strange, it required me to enter the PIN 2 times in a row). Finally it worked (i saw the LTE text on signal bars and i was happy ). Another thing i noticed is that the Prefered Network was 3G and i couln'd choose LTE only if i select 2G first and then LTE.
Thanks again!

no sim found
i have a problem, the rom can't find my sim, anyone had a solution?

SIM
(This rom doesn't ask for my PIN so I guess it doesn't read my SIM at all? Clean install (I guess), everything else I tried is working quite fine.)
Settings say baseband version is unknown.

They can't hear me well
Another problem that i noticed is that the other person i'm talking to hears me, and i quote them, "like you are in a tunnel". At first i thought that is their phone, but multiple persons reported that to me. Also, this happened after i flashed this rom.

Baseband Unknown
Hi,
Just installed this and everything works great except for the mobile network. Settings say baseband version "Unknown", doesn't detect sim at all.
Does anyone has any idea on how to fix it?
Cheers!

Hello , I friend says to me : "You don't need root to install cyanogenmod on m4 , only TWRP (teamwin or something like this..) "
And my question is : Is this real ? I don't need root , only TWRP? to install cyanogenmod on m4 ?

Installing the app Selinux and setting it to permissive fixes APN and mobile network problems. I would advise doing some background reading of this app first though.

Flashed it 2 days ago, everything is fine. Sometimes it is a bit laggy, but it looks very nice!
First i had problems with the google play music app. I was not able to listen to music with my headphones but now it works... Don't know why ?

cm12
who can do not be razognanoe kernel on cm12? you're welcome

Hello Guys,
I just tested the CM12 build for the One m4 and i have some issues... i cant connect to my carrier and somehow i can't install the gapps. i downloaded the one provided in the first post and i tried to download the most recent ones. If i try to install the gapps, my recovery just pops up the main menu with no error-codes or something. it is just loke blown away, if you know what i mean... and, yeah, i cant connect to my carrier, which is like... meh... not actually good for daily use... :/ if there is a way to fix it all, please let me know, i could use some help here.
Greetings Meritili
Edit:
Managed to install the gapps, carrier Problem is still there, help please!

Great Rom !! Thnx

Nice Rom
but... vibration intensity does not work

Bluetooth Problems
Hi, first of all thanks for providing this ROM. I tried both the 5.0 as well as the fresh 5.1 build and most things, apart from some spontanious reboots, are working exceptionally well (IMO better than CM11).
One problem I observed is that I can't use bluetooth to make calls. I am not sure, whether this is a general CM12 problem, or whether it's specific to our device. The same problem is also present when using the other Lollipop ROM based on CM12 in the forum (Candy5). I also found some reports of users of other devices that also have bluetooth problems when using CM12 or some other Android 5.x based ROM.
To clarify: I can pair and connect to bluetooth devices that offer headset functionality (tried bluetooth headset and bluetooth radio in car), and I can also stream music via bluetooth. What I can't do is making actual calls via bluetooth. Both bluetooth devices noticed that a call is about to be made, and also the correct number was displayed in the radio display. But no sound was audible and the other side couldn't hear me. The call itself was okay when switching to internal speakers. Dis-/Re-enabling of bluetooth options did not fix anything.
Audio playback over bluetooth is also rather sluggish and sometimes leads to freezes. Also sometimes the option to use bluetooth for media playback has to be disabled and reenabled for it to work.
Unfortunately I can only test bluetooth in my car (the headset wasn't mine) so it is kinda hard to generate logs. I will try over the next few days to produce one.

Has anyone tested the IR Blaster on this build yet? I'm interested in trying this ROM but from what I understand and from my previous CM12 experience, I haven't seen the IR Blaster working on any AOSP ROM.

Anyone have advice on getting the messaging app to work? I'm using a third party app but the regular messaging app is constantly force closing. Would it be safe to just disable it or would that stop texts all together?

call bug in CM12
Whenever my phone received a call it would forward them straight to voicemail and would have this ringing sound that would come from the handset earpiece of the phone and it would only stop after I restart the phone. What should I do?
P.s. I have the SM-G900p (sprint variant) of the Samsung galaxy

Thanks for the awesome ROM!
I did also notice some bugginess with BT, Pandora when connected to my Mazda 3.
Funny behavior is that it works fine when disconnected but soon as I connect to the car Pandora does not play...so I'm not sure If its an issue with Pandora itself or something else..
Thanks! Great work!

I experienced this as well when using the CM from the official site. Mike's ROM Fixed this..

Another Issue I've found, not sure if its just google or CM12 base, but if you open up the dial pad while in the call i.e to push keys for menus or something, the ear piece stops outputing sound, have to enable speaker phone in order to hear when key pad is open.
Bluetooth issue, bluetooth share crashes after a few songs played back on Pandora..

Anyone else experiencing MISC battery drain? 40% of my battery drain is related to that. I've read its caused by WIFI being on (makes sense as I"m almost always connected to WiFi (home or work) ... going to test to see if keeping wifi off at work tomrrow helps out more.

I'm using the 1/13 nightly build (flashed 1/11 beforehand) - this looks and works great. Two bugs in facing: I cannot receive phone calls (just a weird ring that only goes away with a reboot) and MMS won't work. Planning on doing tonight's build.

@ Izzy.. ineteresting, I was seeing that with Official Nightly's, but not Miked's compile.. wonder what he's doing differently
Also, with the latest nightly for 1/12 that Mike put out looks like bluetooth is stable.... atleast made it through my entire morning commute to work (about 30 mins) without any issues. Lets see what happens on the way home.

Regarding calls
In regards to calls in the most recent posts on page 9, I am also having issues. I have tried calling to and from my office so I can control both ends and I'm unable to hear either end. The calls connect but there is no noise from either speaker. Just chiming in on the issue. Thanks for an otherwise solid build!

I think I may have found a fix for the battery drain, try out my latest build and let me know.
As for the call problems people are having, I really don't know I have not had any issues since the first build I did. After the first one I used a different device tree and haven't had any problems. Just to try to correlate the issue, could anybody having calling problems please report what baseband they are using? I am on NKD, and like I said no probs. The first build I made had the same problem as the official nightlies where it had a weird ring but couldn't pick up. In fact the only build I had the problem on was actually removed from the links so anybody experiencing it is likely running into something new.

I've installed your latest build, testing it now, well will charge fully to 100% and then see if misc battery drain appears.
I'm on NK4 baseband. Experiencing a few issues...
- Laggy dialer
- When using keypad in the dialer sometimes earpiece cuts out and have to put into speaker phone and then back (i.e when using automated menus during calls)
I am able to make and receive calls as far as I can tell... Should I have flashed the stock lolipop rom first I wonder...

That's the same thing I am wondering, not sure if the people who are experiencing call issues are related to their baseband. I did briefly test on some earlier basebands and didn't notice any probs, but the testing was far from extensive. Its just a thought but could be related.
I haven't noticed the earpiece problem, but I always use speakerphone for menus and such. The dialer lag I have noticed, it just hasn't seemed worse to me than on any other ROM including stock ones. Hopefully these are things that will be washed out with future updates. I plan to continue builds indefinitely, and fix what I can, but these seem like they would be hard to track down at this point.
