No Vibrate - CM11 - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
I've been running CM 11 since I got this phone a few weeks ago. I installed it on the first day.
One thing I didn't think to check to make sure was working when I got it (it was a refurb off Swappa) was that the vibration was working, so I don't know if this is caused by CM or if it's a known issue.
Does anyone else have this problem and it's part of CM or do I need to reflash to stock and check to see if it's a hardware issue?
Thank you.
EDIT:
If it matters, I have the Verizon version.

Bumping - I'd really like to avoid flashing to stock and having to re-root and go through the whole process just to verify if my vibrate is working.

[Q] What is params.bin and can it mess up my phone or can it fix my bluetooth?

Hey guys,
I'm currently using OzcanRom and it's just great - strongly recommended!
My only issue is exactly the same issue as described in this post:
I'm facing a very strange problem as i'm unable to switch on my bluetooth... last week only i rooted my phone and installed CWM recovery...then i installed Custom Rom's like Hassan ROM, Omega ROM, Cyanogenmod 11 Rom, Pacman ROM etc etc just to check various Rom's and their features out.....At first i installed only one ROM at a time and den also dual booted two ROM's by romswitcher...While i was checking my phone once i discovered that my phone's Bluetooth is not turning ON...The toggle is only becoming light green and also from the settings its only showing turning Bluetooth On but it's unable to turn bluetooth On.....Now i googled my problem and read across various forums for solution...I tried various things also flashed my firmware to stock samsung but still bluetooth does not turn On...also i flashed with stock samsung firmware of feb and march 2014 and updated my phone over OTA but still the problem persists....i even installed latest perseus kernel while rooted but still could not turn my bluetooth ON.
I would be very grateful if someone can help me solve my problem and help me Switch ON my bluetooth as it is very needed aspect for my daily use.
My Version of S4 is i9500 with android kitkat 4.4.2. Also all my other features are working normally on custom ROM's too.

I too installed this Omega rom at some point and once I did that these problems started.
A user in that thread posted a reply in which he uploaded a file which he claims fixed his problem.
I really need my bluetooth to work again and would love to flash this file using Odin if it would fix the problem
BUT
I have no clue what implications flashing this file can have, can it mess other things up? I've spent the last four hours setting things up again in my new ROM and I would hate to have to do it again or even worse, cause some unsolvable problem with my phone.
I assume some of the developers here could help me out - should I run it?
Thanks!

[Q] CM 11 to CM 12 Help

Hello guys, I have a rooted D802 device with the November '14 Snapshot CM11 ROM. I'm totally satisfied with it, since I don't encounter random reboots and every app works flawlessy. But recently a problem has surfaced which I think is due to the ROM being outdate by this mane months. My apps don't get the latest updates, for example Messenger won't get the new "Seen" bubbles at the conversations, Sims Free Play is now crashing because it's not getting the newest patch and so on. These all aren't that important compared to my satisfaction with this ROM but they do are nuisances which annoy me.
So after a little digging, I noticed that the CM11 thread here in xda for G2, is flooded with comments about CM12 and when I checked the original site, all CM11 versions were replaced by the new CM12. Basically, what I'm asking since I'm a newb to all this, is what would be a stable nightly of CM12 for me to upgrade to? Are there still bugs(certainly, I guess) and if yes what are they? I will probably be fine with certain insignificant ones, but not big ones like the SMS App crashing or video playback not working etc.. The CM12 thread was last updated on December so this is why I am making my own thread, as I don't want to do anything wrong. Also, is a wipe necessary? Should I re-install gapps? If someone could guide me through the process I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance, George.
P.S.: If there is another solution to my aforementioned problem about the apps not updating as they should, please point it out to me since I can't think of anything else that causes this

SGH-i337M Sound causing crashes

Hello Everyone,
For some reason, no matter what ROM I flash, each have the common issue of any sound causing crashes. This includes trying to make a phone call, listen to music, or watch a video. I am currently running on AOSP SlimRom 4.4.2 (not like this is ROM exclusive, it has happened on every ROM I have tried).
This problem occurred once I semi-bricked my phone, I flashed stock, and then re-rooted. After that, it seems as if no ROM has been fully functional. SlimRom has been wonderful and works in every aspect except the sound issue.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be? If you need more information just let me know and i'll be sure to provide it.
EDIT: I also face data drops when I lock my phone (and reconnects when it unlocks), not sure if this is relevant but worth mentioning.
Thank you very much,
W.

I would redo the whole stock, root, recovery but with fresh downloads. What variant are you on?

I would really like that to be the last option before I jump into that whole process. Attached is a photo of my phone's information.
EDIT: I tried to unroot/re-root and the problems all persist.
Fixed
FIX: Flashed a new modem/hlos and it fixed the problem, thanks for the help!
Hi.. i have the same problem with the sound + he freezes and restarts. After hi restarts hi freeze after the Samsung logo when the at&t logo apears. If I shoot it down and start it he works for some time. Can anyone help me? :') and maybe give me a firmware with Romanian language? I have 4.4.2 now.
Can someone help me to flash a new modem to my s4? Maybe it will work fine after that

[Q] Data Works, but No MMS Sending or Receiving. Absolutely Infuriating, Please Help!

LS980 on most recent CM12 Nightly (problem persists on BlissPop offical however). I am on the Ting cell network.
This is the second time I've encountered this problem within a couple of months, and I don't remember how I fixed it the first time...
Any CM12 based ROM (BlissPop, CM, Resurrect) has this issue. I've verified that APN settings are correct, and I'm certain I'm using the right radio file. Tethering and internet browsing all work correctly, just MMS is not working.
Any help is appreciated, I'm really not in the mood for this right now. I have a lot of other stuff on my plate for the next couple of days and just want my damn phone to work.
I'm pretty convinced at this point that this is a residual bug in the CM source code that still, after several months, has not been resolved.

Edit: Does anyone have any recommendations on a good 4.4 ROM to use? And what modem does that require? (ZVE, ZV8, or whatever)
Yeah I'm 100% sure at this point this is a bug in the CM code. I'm sick of this, going back to stock. I know I'm using the correct modem/bootstack/APN. I've ruled out absolutely everything other than the CM source.
Does anyone know of a decent 4.4 ROM that's still available that I could flash? Paranoid Android looked good but all the files are offline from the OP's thread. I need full use of my phone so I have to go back to stock but I know it's a bloated piece of **** so if I could find a stable KitKat ROM that would be great.

Help! Nougat roms breaking phone

I looked around and couldn't find anyone else with this problem, I upgraded to CM 14 nightly and have been updating since, i also was running tesla as well but no matter what I do, when I open the camera or snapchat my phone soft reboots, yesterday is started doing the same thing when i signed into my banking app as well.. Was there something I did wrong while flashing? Is there a way to fix this?
