Quite strange I've never had this problem. Try to delete the connection and re-add it

I have the same issue. There is nothing to delete since on reboot the connection is not there already.

Try to clean data of settings and settings storage...(you'll loose your settings but not you data) If still not working I recommend a full wipe
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

Did not help me. After full wipe (Factory reset in TWM) it keeps forgetting WiFi settings on reboot. /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf does not save wifi creds. Looks like las nightly build is buggy.
Best,

I've read about a new file from new note.. Maybe it's causing problems... The change was reverted yesterday, if I remember correctly... Try the new nightly. I haven't got any control over those changes
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

Both versions from 19 and 20.10.2014 do not work. I rollbacked to the version from 20140803, the last backup I have. This one doesn't have mentioned issue.

I've found this https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/9804/ . This is the only commit that could have created the problem. Maybe if you revert the file wpa_supplicant.conf on your device as it was on the left of https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/9804/1/configs/wpa_supplicant.conf wifi will start to memorize netwok again.... Can you try this? If you confirm that it starts to work again I'll make a commit and merge it, if you can't I (might) check this on next weekend

Lost of Blue Tooth function N8000
I installed the Kitkat to my Galaxy N8000. However, the Blue Tooth can not detect my Plantronics Backbeat earphone. Can you help?

I need a log and a complete description. What do you mean that you installed THE kitkat ? Are you using omnirom or another rom? Or have you flashed samsung stock kitkat and then omnirom? Have you tested with other devices? The bluetooth switch on or not? Can you find other phones?

Hey the fix works fine on my N8010 (coming from Firmware N8010XXUDNE4)
Thank you marco9333 for your hard work.

Omnirom video issues
I still seem to be having issues with the latest omnirom nightly with xfinity tv not playing very well and taking a long time to buffer with occasional choppy video.
Is this probably still an existing issue with the video codecs in omnirom? I know there were issues that are supposedly fixed a day or two ago, but it seems not fixed perfectly.
CM11 rom plays video fine with xfinity tv. At least the version in android devel unofficial does. It is probably a month or so old version.
Just thought I'd let the omnirom dev know

Are you playing a 1080p video? Try to switch to 720p and report (1080p is useless on our tablet because of screen resolution). I can't use xfinity in my country so I've no way to check it

Video Issues
I posted yesterday that I was having issues with the Xfinity Tv Go app not working well and having issues with playback. After further testing, it does work fine with omnirom. It seems that the buffering issues I had were related to the connection / possibly not working at 100 percent due to battery being low? This doesn't make much sense to me but once I plugged it all worked as expected.
Just thought I'd respond back to my yesterday's post so that it is known I did get this working. Cheers,
I'm very glad to see active developement on this somewhat old tablet. It may be old but it still has great specs and plenty of speed / ram to be a daily workhorse for many years to come imo - as long as the software / security keeps up to date.

After flashing the latest nightly, I have no root and can't get into recovery. How do I re-root?

IR Blaster
Just flashed the latest nightly. 25th of Jan 2015.
After trying to use the IR blaster to turn on a Sony TV and a Samsung Smart TV using the peel smart remote (Galaxy Tab) with no success I was wondering if the IR blaster worked? and if so what app is working most successfully?

A serious problem with nighly updates
First of all. I am not receiving any nightly updates. I reflashed the ROM and then I got one update. Its dormant again. I am not getting any update that available for the last 3 weeks.
2nd. My WiFi seems to be disconnecting/reconnecting every now and then, rather every two minutes or so.
I need some solutions for both of these. This the best ROM by far.
Thank you.

Dont quote me on this: I think you only get an update to new nightlies when there are changes... Like when the MD5 changes - e.g. there are bits different in the file - I dont think filename counts as a change because that is managed by the file system the file resides-on as opposed to tacked-onto the file...
So even though there may be new nightlies everyday, if nothing is changing in the code they are in effect the same file, bit-wise - so no update.
If anyone knows exactly how the update deltas work can you verify this?

GApps wont be updating again, now what?
I was downloading the ROM and the Gapps, but it seems that the developer (of the Gapps) is leaving the thread and not updating anymore... are there other alternatives? thanks!

CM-10 08/21 bug

Since I am unable to post it the developement forum for the CM nightlies, this sub-forum is the only option. Gchat (at least on my phone) only plays thru the headset speaker (not the external). Had to hook up a set of buds to be able to converse with the wife this morning. If anyone reads this and can either move it to the DEV section, or at least let them know it would be beneficial.
CM 10 Nightly 8/21
Installed the Official CM 10 Nightly 8/21 an hour ago and it is running great. MMS works, Camera works with out crash or reboot, No reboots and a flashlight app I use that caused a reboot on 8/20 works with out a reboot on 8/21. keep up the great work. If only I could post where it would be seen.
Unless I missed a setting somewhere, the Audio through USB didn't work either. Still a [email protected] rom though and I know for most that option isn't important.
Another bug?
Anyone else having problems with Google Maps stopping. Doesn't matter whether GPS is on or off. Loads, locates and then closes. This will be one thing that makes me go back to an ICS ROM.... have to have maps working. 08/21 build.

TAPPED in on my (now unlocked bootloader) Verizon S3
I did a full wipe and install. I don't get any random reboots anymore. No echos. But the battery seems to be worse. I'm dropping at 2% per half-hour rate. This is w/o touching the phone at all. Just letting it sit there. Anyone experiencing something like this with the battery?
Can't get the USB Audio to work. So far, this is the only issue I've had.

How does Bluetooth audio look as of now?
I'm waiting for bluetooth to be 100% on CM10 before I use it as a DD. It looks and works great just need that functionality. It was the same on my trusty Thunderbolt (god rest his soul) when CM was being built for it.

DailyRoads Voyager freezes phone with CM10.1 RC2

I have been using DailyRoads Voyager for almost 1 year without any issues. Even CM10.1 nightlies that came out 2 weeks before RC2 didn't give me any problems. Unfortunately, after upgrading to RC2, whenever I put the app in background recording mode, the phone becomes extremely sluggish, and sometimes even freezes completely. Anybody has any suggestions on overcoming this?
Provide a logcat, it will help identify where the issue lies.

Did you ever find a solution for this? I've got the same symptoms on a Galaxy SIII, currently running the latest builds of CM10.1.
A build from 3/8 which I used for quite a while worked fine, but sometime in May I updated to a fresh build and found it was broke, all builds since then have also had the issue.

No. I went back to 15 Feb 2013 nightly build.
The app has the problem even with the 10.1 stable build. The developer promptly replied to my initial query with a debug build of DRV (which has some new features also ). The logs it produced didn't indicate any problem with the app. After that I didn't follow up with him. I will do it this Saturday.
Today, I did a factory reset on my phone, wiped everything and installed ‘Cyanogenmod 10.1 stable’ along with ‘DRV 3.0 Beta 2’. Unfortunately, the problem still exists. Given below are the generated logs:
ADB Log
DRV 3.0 Beta 2 Log (this is from a version I got from the developer).
I also captured a video at the same time the logs were being generated. The video can be viewed from the links below:
Low Quality (96 MB)
High Quality (518 MB)
I had this video captured so that the developer can understand clearly what's happening. The phone slowing down can be seen from 5th minute onwards.
I have also written to the developer.

That's the best idea since the problem is most likely the app and not the ROM. The app most likely needs an update to keep up with the constant updates that the ROM receives.

Tried AutoBoy BlackBox app today. It also freezes the phone similar to how it happens with DRV. The main difference is that with DRV, the freeze usually happens from the beginning of recording, where as with AutoBoy, it happens when I try to come out of background mode. The phone freezing/hanging part is quite similar in both apps. Can you confirm if this is happening with you?
Also, please recommend some other background recording apps I can try so that I can help in finding the root cause of this issue?

I'm afraid I won't be very helpful going forward. My phone is provided via my employer, and I was just upgraded to a Galaxy S4 that doesn't have the issue (and I no longer have access to the S3). Sorry!
Just to update:
The developer reviewed my logs and has come to the conclusion that the problem could be with the ROM.
I also tried Autoguard Pro. It also has the exact same issue when put in background mode.
For anybody stumbling into this thread because of this issue:
CaroO works properly in background mode. It also reads from the OBDII sensor (if you have one), and has a map view as well. I used it for 30 minutes without any issues.
I just ran into this same problem. Voyager with 10.1.2 & 10.1.3 caused absurd sluggishness in the phone. I updated to 10.2 9/22 nightly and the sluggishness is gone.

{Q}to follow the cm 10.2 updates

Hi,
I m very interested in install the official 10.2 CyanogenMod based in android 4.3, but is in Nightly phase, i am wondering how much time can take to reach a more stable version, and if is posible to follow the changes, issues and fixes in the daily releases.
I hope someone can give me orientation, thx in advance.
Of course you can. Head over to the thread Nardholio started in the Development section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405310
The first post has links to: the official CM site and to the Apex Github. The CM site has a changelog for nightlies. On the Apex Github, they maintain a list of known issues.
It's all there.
I caution you on expectations here. Android 4.4 was just announced with a very unfortunate name. I think Jelly Bean 4.3 has about 60 days to live. It would be silly to expect 10.2 to be stable by then. After 4.4 hits Nexus devices, I bet the Apex guys will shift their focus to 4.4 and we will repeat some of this process...

it will probably never happen.
android 4.4 is just around the corner, so i guess the focus will be swapped on that, as it was for 4.3 and 4.2 before
CyanogenMod will do a final "release" build when 10.2 is EOL which will be the most stable we can make it. We also have a last 10.1 build we consider mostly stable, although it is unofficial. Right now 10.2 does have some stability issues, but most of these will be worked out (there are some bugs in our firmware we will not be able to fix until/if Samsung updates the firmware)

I have random freezes/reboots all the time on the official nightlies -- even the ones people claim are stable. The lockscreen freezes quite often too. Are these known issues or am I just a lucky one? I am running CWM and followed the installation instructions on the Cyanogenmod wiki.
I just installed alogerec and hopefully something will show up to troubleshoot my issue.
Problem with 10.2 nightly as well
I have a problem with the 10.2 nightlies I have tried (all from this week) that I emailed Narholio as he requested.
But since I am a n00b and cannot post to development threads yet I could not post details there. I have not done extensive testing because the screen stays black even though the buttons light up when I try to unlock the phone. I can usually get it to display by pressing the lock button again to lock it, then pressing it again to unlock it right away. This also seems to happen only after the phone has been locked for greater than 20 seconds. If the screen timeout happens, or if press the lock button to lock it, the display almost always works if I unlock it again before 20 seconds is up.
I have not noticed any reboots or other problems, but have not used it extensively because of the black screen problem.
Try http://ls.infernix.net/jenkins/job/apexq-staging/ build 336

I flashed build 336 last night and still have my phone lock up when trying to unlock it. This doesn't happen every time but when it does it either shows the back and menu buttons illuminated with a black screen or an unresponsive lock screen. In either case it will eventually reboot.

I also still have the same problem with 336 you linked. I'm running it right now and posting this using it. I have had no reboots or other problems yet, but the black screen while trying to unlock it still plagues an otherwise really great experience. I love the speed and feel of it
I've seen that problem w/ the freezing while trying to unlock when the phone is OOM. If you can actually get it to unlock after that, check your apps memory usage.
Good idea

Thanks for the suggestion. Checking memory is a good idea, although I really don't have any apps at all installed. Didn't even install gapps when I flashed this time.
Is there a preferred way to check for free memory? Terminal command?

Personally, I always forget to close browser tabs and OOM that way. Check in Settings -> Apps -> Running
Look at the apps you use as well.
When Android was introduced, they rolled it out with a set of guidelines called the application life cycle.
In the document, Google specified how to develop applications and what was available. One option for devs that is powerful is running a thread as a service. It was a feature that was supposed to be used sparingly... (A service is a program that runs all the time--unless the kernel panics and shuts down everything.)
Unfortunately, developers know that Google isn't going to do anything to push them to make quality software. The market is supposed to sort it out.
In many cases, this is not working. People are taking advantage of the lack of QA.
Bottom line: App devs are building software that leaves services running in the background all the time--for no good reason, whatsoever. Many of these services are just there to slurp up your data and send it to their servers so they can sell it.
Holding the back button to fix it? That rarely works. The devs have intentionally built their memory wasting crapware to restart the service if it gets shut down.

Yep, did wipe each time I tried multiple recent nightly versions which all do the same thing. The only one I've tried that works correctly is the 20130309 version.

I generally keep a tab open to this Relay forum so I can watch what's happening, but not many tabs. Also happens immediately after flashing, without even running any apps, much less installing any.

I really haven't installed any. And when testing different nightlies I just flashed and it happens right away, didn't install a thing on them.
I decided to stay on a version for a while, so have had 20130920 since Friday, and I've used it long enough to know it is consistent. I have found another way to make it happen: incoming phone calls. When phone wakes that way it almost always happens as well. Today it finally showed the screen when I received a call, but 3 or 4 other calls the screen has just been black so I can't tell who's calling.
I discovered another thing since using this ROM for 6 days. Sometimes I get lines/bars/tearing on screen that won't go away until I lock and unlock the phone again.
I have some other phones that are broken, if I can fix one of them I might consider sending this one to a dev to temporarily play with since it seems to be the perfect test case for this problem. The screen is cracked (I got it used in this condition), which I would normally suspect to be the cause of the problem, however since it does not have either problem with stock ICS, stock JB, or the 20130309 CM I'm pretty sure it's related to something in CM10.2. Just new enough to Android I'm not sure how to track it down.
Thank you all for your help!
I have one of these "rev0 cpu" phones and just recently went back to the stock firmware (ugh) because of the lockscreen wakeup lockups. I have gone 3 days so far with no issues. Until this issue is troubleshot, this is an option for anybody who needs stability with one of these phones. I miss CM very much though.

I also have a rev0 cpu phone, and I had a few lockup/reboots since I finally dove in last Monday (9/30) with Staging build 341. However, without me changing anything (still on the same build), they seem to have stopped. Last one I got was 10/2.
Edit: until just now. *facepalm*

I got sick of stock so I tried CM again. After flashing the 10.2-20131014-NIGHTLY-apexqtmo nightly I have not had one reboot or lockup in days. YMMV
Edit: Still haven't had a lockup on wake or reboot.

Hmm... I'll have to try again
Hmm... Sounds like I need to try again then. I tried one released after that and still had issues, but I will try to make some time later to try it. It is fantastic other than that problem.
newer nightlies
Anyone else having issues with the newer nightlies? I have been flashing one a week for a while now and I'm coming from the 14th. tried flashing the 21,22,and 23 all of them are giving me a boot loop at the samsung screen. I have dirty flashed, cleared cache and dalvik, updated recovery. none of them are working for me. Am I missing something? they don't work so i reflash the 14th and everything is good again.
tried in
CWM 6.0.3.7
CWM 6.0.3.8
CWM Touch 6.0.3.8
all with the same errors any help would be appreciated

[Q] Cyanogenmod 11-M9 crashy as hell on Hammerhead?

Is anyone else running Cyanogenmod 11 M-releases on their Nexus 5?
I just got mine a week or two ago, and the first thing I did was unlock it and flash it to CyanogenMod 11. (M8 at the time)
I'm using the device encryption, because I'm a paranoid bastard (And I love the fact this phone is actually usable while encrypted, unlike my Nexus S), and I find it very crashy. Several times per day, seemingly totally random, often while entering into the keyboard, though sometimes while it's just in my pocket. I've been able to determine no rhyme or reason.
No error messages, no apps crashing, no force closes, just several times a day it'll just freeze and reboot. Data loss is a common occurrence. I've lost my WhatsApp! database several times now, and a few others as well.
Is this just me, or is CyanogenMod 11 this crappy for other people too? I can't find a way to prove to myself that this is a hardware problem, the Android Stability Test app just keeps going and going. I've been watching adb logcat during a crash, and nothing interesting is output. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

I just got mine a week or two ago, and the first thing I did was unlock it and flash it to CyanogenMod 11. (M8 at the time)
I'm using the device encryption, because I'm a paranoid bastard (And I love the fact this phone is actually usable while encrypted, unlike my Nexus S), and I find it very crashy. Several times per day, seemingly totally random, often while entering into the keyboard, though sometimes while it's just in my pocket. I've been able to determine no rhyme or reason.
No error messages, no apps crashing, no force closes, just several times a day it'll just freeze and reboot. Data loss is a common occurrence. I've lost my WhatsApp! database several times now, and a few others as well.
Is this just me, or is CyanogenMod 11 this crappy for other people too? I can't find a way to prove to myself that this is a hardware problem, the Android Stability Test app just keeps going and going. I've been watching adb logcat during a crash, and nothing interesting is output. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

Try without encryption. It's hardly useful and only causes issues on Android.

We'll have to disagree about the usefulness of encryption, (I like that if my phone is powered off, my data is PRIVATE until and unless my passphrase is entered) but I'll wipe the phone this eve, TRIM it, and get setup on it again without encryption.

Maybe it's useful if you have something important on your device, but really, if you do, it shouldn't be kept on your phone anyways.
On Android, encryption is nothing but trouble, maybe it doesn't cause issues right away, but eventually it'll cause many. If you really wanted to keep things secured then I don't see why you would unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and install a custom ROM.

CyanogenMod has Privacy Guard, which is another feature I'm using, mostly with the aforementioned WhatsApp!, which has a list of permissions longer than my arm. I don't like it, but I need it for work.
I'll grant that the custom Recovery and ROM may slightly weaken the encryption (specifically an attacker could alter the ROM from Recovery), but even so having the encryption makes the phone a million times more resistant to data theft and tampering than not having it. It's worth noting that tweaking the ROM is the _worst_ an attacker could do. If I suspected such a thing had happened I could re-unlock the bootloader (which would wipe my data), and re-flash a known good Recovery and ROM. I'd lose my data, but even if the attacker had dumped the partition they still wouldn't have my key, and my data would still be private.
And the phone has crashed twice today. I'm going to repeat my original question - is anyone running Cyanogenmod 11-M on their Nexus 5, and if so is it stable? Should I be RMAing this phone, or should I try reverting it to stock first?

its more then likely the encryption. Disable it, re-flash and see what happens
No encryption. Wiped and trimmed the phone yesterday, now 4 crashes.
Try another ROM, see if it crashes. If it still does, flash factory images and see if it still does.
If so, RMA.
Nothing but trouble for me since upgrading to m9. I have been using the various M builds since March with no problems. M8 was fine. No device encryption for me. I tried turning it on and instead got stuck redoing the whole phone.
Now I get frequent crashing. I switched to the most recent nightly yesterday. Apps stopped crashing. However the os itself still crashes. Several times the screen wouldn't turn on after removing it from my pocket. The light was blinking so it definitely didn't just turn off. It also has stayed black after a few (but not all) phone calls. I've had to hard reset every time to recover.
Thinking about reverting to m8 backup. Willing to give it a few more nightie and see if it works out.
Where did you get it? I'm using the stable M9 snapshot off the CM site for hammerhead and it works pretty good.

Got it from the OTA update. Unfortunately I'm not experienced enough to know how to debug it or use proper logs. It could be that its an app I'm using combined with the most recent update...
Im using M9 snapshot too and i have not had 1 problem its been excellent
No problems for me on the M9 snapshot either. I'm coming up on 100 hours of uptime. Have you tried another kernel? I've always found that the stock CM kernel isn't the best. I'm using ElementalX 1..04 and it works pretty great.

+1. I installed another kernel (Chaos) for that reason and it's way faster.
OP: Maybe a bad flash? I would download M8 latest stable snapshot, and do OTA upgrade to M9. That's how I got mine.

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually have been using elemental and forgot to install it after the OTA. Will put that on now and see if it helps.

cyanogenmod is not what it used to be. it ALWAYS has one type of issue or another.

Yeah it'll never be like the GB days. There's either audio problems, crashes, or other random problems. It's sad because people are expecting it to be like it was in old days. CM is not for stability, you can quote me on that.

last four hours have been fine since adding elemental. Hopefully works in the long run. 8/18 nightly.

swipe does not seem to work yet. home button doesnt bring phone out of sleep
The phone does not react as not to enter the call
Friend I need help my problem is that since 9/16/2014 M10 CM11 can not update my phone because when you upgrade to the latest version of CM11 and now updating your rom CM12, everything works fine wifi, data, text messages, all but the only thing is that I if I can make calls perfectly, but if someone calls me, the phone does not react as not to enter the call, but to put it together on the phone that is calling me hear them (tic, tic, tic) as when you put it near a speaker, meaning that the call reaches the cell, but the cell does not react. I hope someone help me or help me since I can not upgrade my phone.

I also have a SGS 3, now running Masta's Lollipop CM 12 initial release. I was on the same modem but updated to NE1 one posted by Masta in his thread. It does NOT lock the bootloader. Good luck and post back your results. Have a nanod backup just in case. Gary

try putting a random micro sim card or a regular sim trimmed to fit micro sim in the sim slot, this works for the d2vzw and d2lte roms on the straight talk s3, we were having the same problem with these roms but a sim fixes data for us, maybe it will for you too, doesn't have to be a working or active sim just needs a sim in the slot to connect for some reason, hope this works for you

Misc data usage now at 40%, that's a lot higher than it was.
At 30% right now with one hour screen on time.
Pretty bad, haha

Tried out the lollipop rom, it was solid until it froze on making calls. Flashed back to my backup of CM11 M12. I'll seriously wait until the bugs are worked out. Spotty calling doesn't make me want to run it at all
From my CM11 S3
Hi Everyone,
I'm still on an old CM10.1 masta build from 7-30-2013 and I'd like to get back into things with these CM12 alpha builds. How should I go about this? I know I need to update my firmware/baseband (still on MF1) as well, but what should be my order?
Recovery - nandroid
Flash - Firmware/baseband
Reboot - to make sure all is well
Back to recovery
Wipe data/cache/factory reset
Flash - rom/gapps/SU
Done?
Then just dirty flash subsequent builds?
Thanks for your help, I've had solid performance from this old rom but looking forward to an update.

flash the ROM and Gapps THEN do your wipes, if you don't you might flash the ROM and when you reboot it might be buggy and you might think its the ROM when it might be something left behind from before so do your wipe so you don't run into that; always flash then wipe before reboot, sometimes you can skip that step and flash one over the other without wiping to fix issues in what you are flashing new but that's for experienced people to play around with and doesn't always work, anyway fkash rom and gapps then wipe and reboot

Ambient Display
So, this is in regards to the CM12 alphas, and since I don't have 10 posts yet, gotta post here.
Ambient Display was merged, which is pretty sweet, except it seems to randomly display for no reason. I don't have any notifications showing up, so why is it coming up? It can display several times in a minute, or go several minutes too, it seems pretty random. Only thing I can think of is it's picking up subtle vibrations and thinking I've picked it up?
no incoming calls
Anyone else having an issue with no incomming calls? Ive realised since a few months on cm11 i get no incomming calls unless its a private number.. I would love to use cm12 but theres the same issue. Seems to affect people using this phone outside the US like i am. I saw someone mention this in the main thread but im stuck posting here since im a new member :/
Yes my girlfriends phone after i installed cm11 on it. Never did figure it out.
Top and bottom mic swapped in skype and other such apps?!
First off my last no calls issue was solved with this file. i cant post links so maybe search d2gsm_rilblobs.zip
Ever since I've used CM on my S3 i noticed during my skype calls when i hold the phone to my ear the other person doesn't hear me well especially when there's allot of ambient noise!
I soon discovered that when using any app that records audio it uses the top mic only. but in regular phone calls through the network its normal using the bottom mic! Does anyone experience this? i mean it works fine and if u don't pay attention it may not bother you, but as an audio technician i notice these things! u can try if u have skype using the test call talk in the top and then bottom and you'll see the top is louder when its played back.
I went back to stock and the mic worked at the bottom as it should.. maybe there's a fix for this floating around? I have the Verizon S3 but if anyone notices this i would love to know its not just me!!
On masta's CM12 nightlies, I'm having an issue with data between flashes. When I dirty flash a nightly over the previous one, the phone refuses to connect to mobile data, even though everything is apparently fine. Anyone else have this issue?

You try turning airplane mode off then back on? Make sure your mobile network is set to lte or 3g and not global.
