Slimbean auto rotate broken

Just flashed slimbean on nexus 4. Works great except for orientation stuck in portrait. Been flashing my Vibrant for years so I'm not a total noob, but haven't posted much and can't post in developer forum yet.
Anybody else experience this? I flashed latest stable build and then AIO addon. Could that add on be the problem since I didn't flash the gapps alone first?

UPDATE
Tried reflashing ROM and Slim Gapps, but rotation is still broken. I've checked all of the settings and it is enabled in all of them.

RESOLVED
Okay, did a little more searching and found the problem was the radio. I still had the .48 radio from 4.2.2. I didn't realize the ROM didn't include a radio/baseband. So I flashed this radio (http://d-h.st/hlR) from this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227) and all is well!

Galaxy S4 i9505 GPS issue - Help

Hello Experts,
It's been ard two months I am struggling to get my gps work on my s4 which was working when I bought the phone and was on stock Samsung OS.
It's started when I rooted my phone. Subsequently installed CM10.1 nightly (I guess 24/7/2013-nighly). Now I am on cm10.1 rc2.
Gps status show 0/0 sats. No satellites in view
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

As you are rooted, something worth trying would be FasterFix from PlayStore. You'll see what it does.
Good luck!

Thanks for response. Yes I am rooted.
Recently I installed latest modem (mh8) as well Which didn't help either.
I tried GPS status, GPSFix, gps test etc. Those didn't help. But never used to keep the gps open for more than 5 minutes.
Will keeping it on longer help?
Thanks.

Also if someone can tell me the permissions on gps.conf file if it matters.

My GPS error was caused by a software conflict - in my case, Yahoo Weather. It stopped the GPS from getting proper signal or lock, but when I uninstalled the app it returned to normal. The latest version of Yahoo Weather has fixed the issue.
Think about any apps you may have installed at the time of rooting. Rooting itself should not cause this issue.
You could try taking a full backup, reset the device and see if GPS works again with no user apps installed. If it does it sounds like a software conflict, if it does not then it is a firmware/hardware problem.

Yeah read that thread which talks about yahoo weather. I don't have it. Infact I did wipe few times to install new nightly. And checked gas just by installing Google maps, which didn't help.
Could it be a hardware issue? How can we confirm? My gps status show 0/0 sats in view.

Did you disable some autostart apps? I had the same behavior. In my case, I think it was a Google service.

If all else fails, unroot, flash the Original FW via Odin.

Noted. Will try and update, little tied up with some other things.

To see if is hardware you need clean install
1. Download odin 3.07 ( you have option NAND ERAS ALL )
2. Download MH8 ( If you are with knox ), / MF8 ( NON KNOX BOOT )
3. Download PIT
4. Odin - check NAND, PIT file, PDA AND START
5. After flash your phone wont boot ( stuck at samsung Logo )
6. Boot in recovery ( volume up )( original recovery )
7. Factory reset + format cache.
8. Will reboot automatically the phone
9. Install GPS TEST. And let it search for maxim 5 min. ( will be cold start )
Come back with result
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Wow, thanks.
Few questions though
1. If I select NAND ERASE All, will erase everything what I see in internal memory?
2. What is knox boot?
Thanks again.

When you are entering in download mode and you have 2 lines there where is writen Knox kernel lock 0x0 and knox warranty void that means that you have secure bootloader ( you can flash only MH group or GG ). If you dont have I recommend to flash MF8 Or BGMA.
And yes NAND eras all ... is deleting all from internall memory

Hello there,
I did as you mentioned above. Unfortunately it didn't help. Is there something bad with my GPS hardware? I remember it was working when I was on stock ROM when I bought the phone.
I saw a post for GS3 which states tightening the screws to fix gps issue. Can we do something similar for GS4?

One more thing: install GPS test from Google market. And send me a print with the open app. BUT 1st enable GPS from settings. And bee sure to bee in open place ( outside) when you are opening the app

Cm 10.1.3 no 4g

I decided to give cm10.1.3 a try now that it is stable. I've flashed cm on many devices without trouble including this s4. But this time when the phone booted, I had LTE displayed as connected in the status bar but couldn't get any throughput. 3g works fine when I switch to CDMA only. So as a test I flashed 10.2 nightly (which I have run before without issues) and no LTE with it either. So I dug up an old 10.1 nandroid which was fully backed in good shape and holy crap!! No LTE!!! So I flashed back to touchwiz nandroid and LTE works fine. What's up. Very weird. Any ideas.

Same here I'm having troubles with LTE on my s4 running the latest version of beanstalk ROM and I live in a LTE area and have always have been able to get LTE. Any ideas?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

No..I tried re-downloading the ROM from other sources. Still 4g connects but is super slow. Like 5 mins to open a web page. I have great 4g coverage at home usually. 3g Is working good though.

Im not sure but try a apn back up on stock rom, then reflash cm.

Apparently you can't backup APN on 4.x ROMs? Not without purchasing titanium backup at least
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

So I figured it out. 4g wasn't working because I'm an idiot and was wiping everything including system. Didn't realize there were settings that need to be left for cm to connect. At least that's the only reason I can think of. Hope this helps someone else so its not a total waste of forum space.

I wiped my system a few days ago when I was flashing the latest beanstalk build, that explains why late isn't working. What should I do to fix it?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

If you have a backup of stock or another touch wiz ROM, flash back to that. Then boot into recovery, and do a factory restore. That will wipe data,cache,and dalvic, but leave the system intact. Then just flash cm or other aosp rom and reboot. Should be good to go!

Just wanted to report that I came in here with the exact same problem and this fixed it for me as well. I was running the Pac Rom nightly and was pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I too had formatted system just by force of habit. Maybe this should be mentioned in install tutorials not to do that.

[Q] Phone Repeatedly 'Forgets' Google Account Info

I am running the SACS 4.3 Custom ROM, and have begun to experience weird behaviour in the past few days -- namely, my phone will just FORGET my google account info, I'll lose all phone contacts and google services functionality...
Has Anyone else experienced this?
Causes/Suggestions/Solutions?!
Thanks!

Which version of Sacs ROM?
Also this would be best answered in that thread. And if it's what I think it is it already has and Sac released a preliminary patch to address this precise thing.

Thanks. I was running the 4.3 release, but upgraded to v5.0 a few hours ago. Thus far, no issues!

I've been running v5 as well with no Google account issues for a full day now. I did see a couple users report having their account disappear while on v5 but I bet it has to do with not a clean wipe before flashing.

The issue has now resurfaced on 5.0 and became apparent when my device notified me of the need to add Backup account.
Is there a proposed cause or remedy?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

I am having the same problem problem and it's rather frustrating! I have flashed multiple times, clean wipe, using both TWRP and CWM still no success..

Do one thing guys ,... Download gapps package compatible to your ROM ... and then Flash it via recovery ... and before that make sure you have backed up your phone via Recovery and also ... wipe cache and dalvik cache ....

The Gapps is bundled in the ROM...some other issue here. Please dont offer generic advice as if it's a known solution.

[HELP] Bluetooth

Hi,
My Bluetooth is refusing to turn on ever since I upgraded to 4.4.2. I have tried 3 custom roms. None of them managed to turn it on. I have grabbed the following logcat. It would be a huge help if anyone could spare the time to help.
Thanks.

I would do a full wipe! That solves most of these problems.
