I bet that you don't have a yahoo plus account. Not like Apple, Android do not contract with Yahoo then Yahoo mail in android support pop3 yahoo only.
i ran 4.0 for a while and loved it so tried 4.9 since its more similar than 4.5
aside from things mentioned already
horrible boot loop problem
wasn't just taking longer than usual as the build usually does, don't know if its because of the apps i install or what, but i let it sit for 30min and still wasn't booting. had to wipe twice today because of it.

take the sd card out and try it again
Sync email for the gmail app isnt working...none of my emails are being pushed to my phone
Paid apps cannot install
Home screen doesnt have a landscape layout.
Sorry if these have already been said...
The main problems when flashed to 4.9 aside from the previous posts is that I've been getting a constant error after every phone call i make.
I've encountered the following
- phone freezes when blutooth is enabled
- phone crashes after a call, since it crashes after a call it doesn't save any recent call
- if I scroll thru my contacts it does not display the Alphabet letters just "a"
- symbols like "_ - ( " on the qwerky kb are mixed up
- auto rotate doesn't rotate when I want it to. if I shake up the phone if sometimes kicks in, but it does work for the browser without a hitch.
- no paid apps, even ones I've purchased
- weatherbug doesn't work
what else....oh yeah, I had gloss suite b4 I flashed to build 4.9 and my calculator still has the gloss suite skin. I love this build can't wait for the final.
*phone app crashes/losses service after calls
-doesn't store recent calls
issues
Call log not showing anything
Error after each call
I keep losing reception
Emails
Forclosing andriod process
All ive noticed but still good work
Minor Error(s)
1. Scrolling through contacts using scroll bar only displays "a,o,d,F"
2. No option for "search" once in browser. (Not sure if issue or build design)
3. TBA
4. TBA
Esnapz, did you do a wipe? It might help with many problems.
MMS works great. Not sure about problem in gmail...didn't check yet. plus If you all haven't, check out the HTC email app, it works and looks sweet. LOVE that I can rotate the screen in all 4 directions. He already said you might have to rotate twice bc it does get stuck sometimes. I don't use Bluetooth, but from everyone else it seems like it wouldn't work if I did. Hmm...what else?

I did, before flashing to 4.9. Since my post I flashed back to rc33 because I missed a call which caused the phone to crash so it never saved the missed call
Tested BT with Microsoft SYNC in my car... Paired great
but when enabled the stereo option in the car the phone crashed.
Aside from the previous posts I've also noticed that my ringdroid app doesn't work and force closes as soon as I try to open it.

Majority of 3rd party apps from market aren't compatiable with the htc cupcake build so therefore there having force closes which sucks
oh ok now I understand why 4.5 works with ringdroid and everything, I guess I'll just stick to my less aesthetically-pleasing-yet-more-stable 4.5 build. lol
This small guide is an instant GPS Fix tried on Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 and may work on other phones. This small guide will reduce the time taken to lock to satellites and has been tested inside a building with 8 floors and I was able to achieve lock to 4 satellites.
A much better guide to GPS Fix is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13133654&postcount=142
Since that guide requires a little bit of manual work, so this is just a small software tweak
So here is what you have to do:
1. Turn Off GPS
2. Open LibTestMode. If you do not know how to open it then you can open it by typing the following code in the dialer (Froyo Only): *#*#3214789650#*#*
3. Under "Application settings" Change "Operation Mode" to Standalone. (Some people have reported better accuracy with MS Mode)
4. Under "Application Settings", Change "Timeout(s)" to 100
5. Under "SUPL/CP Settings" Change the SERVER & PORT to supl.google.com and port 7276
6. Reboot
NOTE: The attached screenshot is inside the building. I have received better results outside and accuracy of upto <40 feet was achieved.
Cold Start- GPS.
Hi there,
My Samsung Galaxy Pro was a bit reluctant in locking on to satellite signals, it used to take no minimum than 5 minutes.
Then I chanced upon an app in the market: "GPS Aids"... Do check it
Just wanted to know your views on "GPS Aids" & such alike apps...
Im now getting GPS lock in less than 5secs with 9-10sats in view & 7 in use inside my 3storey building surrounded my such more buildings and tall trees.
The best accuracy rate I have achieved is 2metres & most of the time it is 4metres
Thanx,
S.K.Pingua,
New Delhi.
Gps aids? does it really work so well? let me try it
Yes GPS AIDS V2 is a great software. I am getting GPS lock within 3-10 seconds on XXKB3 FW.
i'll try it and then post about thanks for the advice!
Gps aids works really well indeed, i get a lock within seconds, thanks a lot mate

GPS FIX i9003
I purchased my i9003 a fortnight back and had wonderful opinion , till the time i checked the GPS and surprisingly it did not work, could not understand how a product can be defective out of box. however when i googled for a fix , came to know there was significant issues with galaxy S phones
Contacted Samsung customer care , the technical folks have no clues and seems to from a different planet,all of them either denied there was a problem or asked me to do a hard reset, one tried to convince me for an hour that A-GPS worked only on network triangulation and did not have a actual gps and will give only an approximate location.
coming back to the problem , The earlier issues in Galaxy s related to configuration which were rectified by a fix and 2.2 update
the problem with i9003 i feel had something to do with the inbuilt sensor, i tried lot of software from android market including GPS Doctor, GPS Aids, GPS Fix, GPS Status, GPS test and GPS essentials among others... none of them were able to fix the problem , although few of them were able to detect gps satellites ( sometime even 12) but were not able to get a fix. the sad part was two of the apps were paid apps and total waste of money
In my trial and error approach I tried a software called Turbo GPS (its free) from android market, the major difference in this software vs. others was it had its own software to manage the sensors and after installing software the problem vanished. all you need to do is to run Turbo GPS wait for a couple of minutes and then start google maps. it worked like a charm.....

Hi adgdeepak, tough but successful experience. everyone has a share of GPS challenges, nice to know yours.
I crosschecked & double checked but could not find "Turbo GPS" on Android market!
Anyway, happy navigation
Not to take anything away from the OP author or anyone else, but would anyone be willing to test mine out? It is in my sig. If it helps you great, but its more for me to see if my theory is right that any android phone will work.
So far, it works on the Droid, Captivate, Aria, Inspire, Desire +HD, HD2, and the list goes on. I will not be checking this thread But its another alternative I wanted to point out, and am curious of its success.
'good old fix' for captivate or vibrant strikes again...same with 'press antena' one, nothing new...
again users have to fix their phones by editing service menu and with a piece of paper/coper =)
as it is PROBABLY the same BCM4751 chip - with same crappy board-antena contact as in sgs - you SL users are GPS handicapped ;]
could someone check what chip it carries?
//edit regarding hardware fix -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878970

No buddy, we do not have problem with GPS. Locks within 5 seconds with XXKB3 firmware.
I saw you your post on [ROM][ODEX] SATAN.XXJVO beta1. Would you like to help us in porting few goodies from I9000 or can you guide us whom to contact for porting clockwork recovery for I9003. Thanks in advance.
i also have instant fix, that never was an issue
real problem is with recorded tracks (eg mytracks) - while i am not moving fixed position likes to travel around, and wile moving it likes to record me off position
what bothers me is also fix stepping - every 5m not by 1m ad in my 5 years phone
as for CWM ask Chainfire

Thanks for replying. I have never tried to record tracks while navigating. Will test it and post the results here. I have sent PM to chinfire, hoping for positive response towards the custom/CWR for I9003
GPS Aids helps but not that much.. I couldn't find the 'Turbo GPS' either! Any links or directions to that app?/

No such luck.
My setting were already set to the above. Not a single GPS lock.
Firmware version 2.2.1
Baseband version I9003DDKA5
Got it to work. This is specific to me.
background:
Samsung i9003 from India.
Provider: AT&T, Airtel
Current Location: California
Here what I needed to do.
1. Root your phone
2. Down GPS Aids from the Marketplace
3. Use the forced LTO method from the setup wizard of GPS Aids. (this requires your phone to be rooted. Native method does not work for me.)
4. run LibTestMode and change the Application Settings -> Operation Mode -> MS Mode (Standalone did not work for me)
5. Reboot
Looking for to use this when I go back to Bangalore again.
Hi,
I have a problem using my sports app "Runtastic". Every time when I start an activity and switch off the screen after a minute or so I get the message that GPS signal got lost. When I switch on the screen then I have immediatelly a GPS signal. In the settings of "Runtastic" is a switch "carry on application at active lockscreen". This is activated but seemes not to work.
Can it be that at WP7 the location service (GPS) will be stopped after some time when screen is switched off? If yes, does anybody know a tweak to disable it?
Thanks and best regards
rupi99
mhh, that's strange. maybe you can disable your lockscreen.
here the registry twek
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State]
"Lock"=dword:1
Maybe it is a problem of the "Runtastic" app. I tried with disabled lockscreen. After switching off the screen the GPS signal got lost again.
Runtastic appears to run okay for me with the lock screen up(HTC SparkW), but this could be a phone specific issue. I used to have a very similar problem with gMaps Pro, but it was eventually corrected when brought to the developers attention. I would contact the developers and let them know that your model phone is having an issue.
This app doesn't have any settings under Settings=>Slide to Applications=>background task=>Advance.. and I know after gMap's Pro was updated, I went here and change some settings and it would keep running afterwards.. but.. the dev had to implement a fix on their end first.
Thanks for reply. I have a HTC HD2 with Pdaimatejam 7.3 custom ROM. I will check other sports programs like Endomondo or Sports Tracker to see if it is related to the Runtastic program or to my phone.
background gps stops with display off

Hello guys,
this is goin' to be my first post on xda-developers sure that this should normally be placed in another thread but permissions to do that are still missing.
I don't want to create useless board blowing posts only to reach more than 10 to get the permission to disclose some bugs I found in the current CM11_saga_flinny_alpha5..
First of all I wanna thank all developers for spending there spare time for such great projects!!
Issues I recognized:
1) Apps moved and located on the sd-card will loose the desktop link after reboot of the system as often as I place it onto the primary screen.
2) The current Brower often crashes whenever I'm on for example facebook watching pictures it crashes, reproducable.
3) in options under developer options activating error report doesn't bring any report up for sending via email
4) could anyone please evaluate if downloading i.e. Redphone or Textsecure works within the GooglePlay Store? I can't although it is compatible to android 4.4.2 so I guess that there is a mismatch between the googleplay and the alpha5 permissions
thanks.

Hey
I had the second bug to. I reflashed and wiped cache and co and it was gone. No idea why.
I have Problems wieht the Headphones control. Does it work at your device? I get no symbol in the statusbar that the headphone is in still can hear music and sounds but the thee control bottums of the headset don´t work neither the microphon.
@Flinny and @devilkin
Known/recognized issues on both ROMs:
Please evaluate if downloading i.e. Redphone,Textsecure, WhatsApp works within the GooglePlay Store!?
I can't although it is compatible to android 4.4.2 so I guess that there is still a mismatch between the AndroidManifest.xml and both of your ROMs. Permissions or something like that..?
Calling somebody and than trying to "mute" the doesn't work so there's an incorrect function.
Moving apps located(moved to) on the sd-card will loose the desktop link after reboot of the system as often as I place it onto the primary screen.
Gererating Error Report doesn't work seems to be no function behind it..
Hope you guys will fix these bugs...anyway thanks for your great work on supporting such an old phone. Still love my Desire S
I'm currently using the recommended 20140517—version and am having some problems with mobile data, so i assume this is a bug.
Mobile data in 3G networks works flawlessly, but in 2G networks it won't connect to any site/page or service. Though sometimes I get some incoming Whatssapp messages or push-news-content. Never Bad this problems with stock Roms. Provider is Vodafone Germany.
I posted this in the forum for the ROM I was using with no response so hopefully I can get one here. I'm currently running candy 5 with stock kernel and gapps.
Ok, let me start by saying I don't think my issue is rom specific as I've seen this behavior on all cm 12 roms. So if I need to send this to Q&A I'd be happy to so.
So I use the app gps status which places a satellite icon on the top left of my status bar when gps (true gps sensor) is in use. Via gps status I get a lock in under 5seconds. Now my issue is this. When I open Google maps, the location indicator comes up but NOT the satellite symbol. In Google maps, it finds my cell tower but NOT my actual location. I let the phone sit for 10 minutes and it never locked. Now when I enter a different address in the search bar and start to navigate, the satellite logo shows up and I have a lock on my starting spot within seconds.
So I decided to try waze just to see if the satellite icon shows up and sure enough it does and gps lock is within seconds. Again you need the app GPS Status and the setting that puts the satellite symbol in the status bar when actual gps sensor is in use.
I tested this with the nexus 10 also on stock rooted lollipop and both the location and satellite symbol appear. I've attached a screen from the GPS status app as well as Google maps so you can see the status bar symbols I'm referring to. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to validate what I'm saying. This time I also installed the app cool too since it shows how man satellites are connected.
Again I want to reiterate gps locks fine when in use, and navigation works just fine as well.... It's just on the main screen of Google maps and only with Google maps that I'm having the issue.
I am so frustrated with this same exact issue! Any other map app find me in seconds. Google maps doesn't find me at all.
Tried faster gps app fix - no change
Uninstall Google maps using TiBU then reinstall - no change
Currently on temasek bacon ROM v 2.0
Sent From Bacon
Exact same problem.
I've tried :
-changing rom (tested 4 lollipop roms) with clean flash
-changing gapps package
-uninstalling maps and reinstalling, cleaning datas
-changing permissions of other apps and allow location only for maps, play services and location services
-changing gps.conf parameters in every possible ways.
For now, with no success.
Gps Status will lock in 3-4sec, but maps won't find my location using gps-only mode. If I switch from GPS status to Maps, it gets the right location for a few seconds.
Anyone has ideas ?
Btw : Gps status won't stay in notification bar when using google maps
---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------
Reverted back to version 6.14 from this thread
You will have to uninstall the newer google maps before installing this version. Use TiBu, or, if it doesn't work, use system app mover to convert it to a normal app, reboot, uninstall it and install the 6.14 version.
With the old version, everything is working properly ! Still looking for a fix for the new version
@thryy pretty much similar steps as mine and I still have the issue. I will try your method of going to older maps version also later on
Sent From Bacon
Could people using cm12 confirm this bug ?
Do you get location on Google maps using gps only ?
Btw : maps 6.14 working great. I May stick with this one
I've had the same issue on every Lollipop ROM, Kernel, and gapps package like everyone else. If I set location to Device Only mode, Maps is completely useless and never gets a lock. If I put it in high accuracy, it gets close by cell tower but not spot on, and its slow and inaccurate while driving. So far, GPS Status seems to help as it autostarts when GPS is requested by other apps, including Google Maps. Once this happens, it gets a lock within seconds.
Seems to be a bug with Google Maps.
Well glad to know I'm not alone...
Anyone on lollipop try the new maps app called "here" it's in beta and actually pretty good. I might give it a try tomorrow to see if gps works with that app. I went back to 44s where everything works but I miss the hell out of 5.0 lol.
Similar problem with Resurrection Remix v5.2.1 (Android 5.0.1), on a Verizon LG G3 (vs985). However, I do not get any GPS signal at all in any app, including GPS Status. This seems to be a widespread problem, anyone come up with a work-around yet? I love Lollipop's UI, but this bug is crippling.
Nokia Here confirmed working. Nice app, I use this instead of gmaps now
Also, old gmaps (see my previous post on this thread) working fine.
However, I would appreciate to know what is causing this strange bug. Could someone ask a dev ? I don't have enough posts to publish in dev section.
Does anyone know if this has been resolved? Will probably give LP another try during the holiday while I'm home and can restore quickly.
Logic
I flashed temasek cm12 unofficial 3.2 and no longer have this issue with newest maps update its version 9.2.0 now

Just tried it on my One+ and it's working perfectly. Granted, I know this thread is mainly aimed at CM12, however it could be a LP thing so I wanted to share my experience.
I'm running:
fusionjack's SlimSaber LP build from 2014-12-20 (new one out tonight, haven't flashed yet)
Stock kernel in fusionjack's ROM
TKruzze's PA GApps from 2014-12-18. Full package, just using a "gapps-config.txt" to omit what I don't want.
As you can see, I'm using GPS Status and it fired up immediately when I launched Google Maps. In Google Maps, I get a lock on my location almost instantly. GPS Status gets a fix within 2-3 seconds every time, and sometimes it's locked so quickly there's no display of the time to fix.
Will try that combo today! Ty
Confirmed the slimsaber rom is working as it should. I'll give this a try for a while! Ty @clintb

What ROM were you on initially when you had the problem?
I was on temasek cm12 v2.0 when I had the problem as I said earlier in the thread, but now using same ROM but v 3.3 (used v 3.2 also) I don't have the problem. GPS locks in Google maps almost instantly now.
So either cm12 had the problem fixed, or an update in Google maps fixed it. I did notice Google maps had an update when I came back from holidays. Since other apps were OK in the same ROM v 2.0, I'm thinking it was a Google maps problem that got fixed.
Good to hear that ROM also works, maybe I'll install that to play with as another ROM in multirom if it allows it to install as a secondary ROM.
Cheers
