PAC-MAN ROM RC1 (latest milestone)
Baseband: I337UCUAMDL
When I receive a call, or make a call, occasionally, the person on the other end can't hear me, always, when I/they call back and we do connect, they say they could hear me talking, but I could never hear them. This happens about once out of every seven or 8 calls, not a huge deal, but is quite frustrating if it is an important call.
Any ideas on the cause/resolution?
It seems to be an issue across aosp builds. I haven't looked into it although I've experienced it on 2 different aosp-based roms, both coming from full wipes. Issue began in July builds I believe.
4.3 is just around the corner. Don't sweat it.

This, so far has only happened to me with PAC-MAN rom, but I keep going back to it because of the customization possibilities it allows.
4.3 coming is a good point I hadn't processed yet. The last update from PAC-MAN was 7/30/13 as far as I can tell, maybe that a good sign they are working on a 4.3 update to the ROM.
:good:
There is already a PAC 4.3 alpha build on the I9505,so your wait shouldn't be too long. While you wait, there is a stable release on PAC that should have a fix for the audio issue merged in. Check the release folder instead I'd the nightly folder on their basketbuild site.

I've been getting an issue like that also but mainly on my side I thought it was just the service. Where I'd be on the phone talking about something important and the other person will cut in n out sometimes.

I don't have this issue on the 4.3 SlimBean test build I am running, so I would imagine it will be fixed in Pac shortly as well.
Goooood to hear about 4.3, anything neat coming with 4.3? I honestly haven't looked into it because I figured it would take a while to get ROM stable on it, but sounds like it's happening faster than I imagined.

It honestly looks the same to me, but it is a little snappier, and things are smoother. Some of the issues like the NFC wakelock is fixed, among other things. I don't know how Pac is coming along. To me, the Beta 1.2 I'm running is a stable daily driver. Expect Slim weeklies for jfatt soon.
I'm having the same issue with AOKP based rom

Hey guys and gals, I just got my Moto X yesterday, and I'm liking it so far. I have a Note 3 but I got a $150 promo code so thought I would give it a shot.
With that being said, I got a prompt for the KitKat update last night but I delayed it for now. I have read some horror stories about bad battery life. Is it true? Other than that, is there any major reason that I shouldn't update to KitKat?
Thanks!
I haven't had any problem with battery life on mine. I don't see a huge reason to upgrade but I like the latest so I took the update. I also don't see a huge reason not to upgrade either. I guess if you like the blue of jb or if you plan on rooting you have a few more options for the xposed modules on jb, but other than that, I can think of no good reason to keep jb. As always YMMV.
You can always RSD back to 4.2.2 if you don't like kitkat, but you lose all data and have to start from scratch.

I think it's easier to root on jelly bean. Otherwise I'm having great battery life on kit Kat, no issues here.

Kitkat is wonderful. My battery life is the same if not marginally better. Don't listen to the horror stories, they probably have everything set to sync every second and suck at phoneing.
If you want to root, root now on JB. Otherwise you'll have to flash back after the update.
Good to see you around. Great phone.

We could reverse this question and ask: Is there any reason TO upgrade to KitKat? What's new/great with 4.4 ?
I feel like we all should have unlocked bootloaders so root wouldn't be an issue. I'm on USC unlocked and rooted on KitKat running xposed framework and gravity box, I love it. Battery last at least 24 hours of moderate usage. The last three days my battery stats have been SOLID! I had 1 day nine hours 2 days ago, 1 day 7 hours yesterday and am at almost 12 hours and at 64%...Wolfepack said it, don't listen to horror stories, those select few can't handle heat in the kitchen obviously lol.

My wife did the upgrade but I haven't, as I'm rooted.
Playing with her phone I noticed the dialer is fixed, better, sorta. I forgot to check about speed dials. I guess that's a plus?

Unrooted kit Kat isn't an option for me.... No Gsam.
And anything after 4.2.2 has buggy flash or it doesn't work at all.
Mixed reviews on 4.4 battery life.
And basically nothing new since 4.2.2 that matters to me personally.
So I'll just hang out on 4.2.2. Same for my N7.

exchange email doesnt work well on 4.4 for me, i have 3 accounts, and when i set them, some show calendar, some dont, some push emails , some dont.
no issues on 4.2.2 with that.
Kit Kat has been great for me. Battery life seems about the same.
All of Motorola's recent system app updates that they have done (and will continue to do) through the play store are for 4.4 devices only, so that should be a very compelling reason to update.

OK. First let me say I am not a total noob. I go back to the original droid and up to the LGG2 in rooted every device. It was, in part, due to Verizon being so dang slow to update their devices. Now, though, I am finding no real reason to root. Transparent bars are not enough for me to do it Every person I find who roots the G2 has some issue. ART crashes some phones. Others have call issues. This or that will not function. Yes it fun to play with new things, but is it worth it? I am sure there will be people that will say they have zero issues but from what I am reading, I find it hard to believe they have zero.

I have no issues related to being rooted. Now most ROMs I've tried have their fair share of bugs, but that's part of the gamble you take a with a phone as new as this. Give it half a year and most of the things developed for the G2 will be ironed out.

I agree in part, but even after they are worked out you will normally find issues, even if minor, in the best of Roms. I point to Cyanogen just as an example. They are a great group with a quality ROM. Release candidates are super stable, but will have an issue or two. They also solo not have all the new stuff people crave like a nightly will have. But with nightlies you get instability. Please guys, I know everyone is going to jump in and say how great their favorite ROM is. That is not the point of my comments. I do not care what ROM you have. There is going to be a bug. I guess stock can be the same, but in general I am now leaning towards stock uprooted. With the LG g2 I have yet to see a feature stable enough to void warranty for. In a year from now that may change. At one time or was just a hobby. Flash and try everything. Add this, remove that. But this phone has so much stock I can no longer recommend rooting to any one. Obviously I have no issue if you do. I am just wondering what is driving people to root the G2?

What does ART have to do with root?
edit: you should change from why root to why custom rom...and at that why AOSP based rom
It's not so much the reasons listed above though they are all good. The main reason for me to Root is to remove all the Bloatware I can off my phone. This includes apps and options. I like to get my unit down to as bare as I can and build it back up the way I want a phone to be. I got the G2 for the hardware specs and not for anything else LG or Verizon was offering me.
Plus it is fun to deal with new Roms as they are being created.
And there will never be ZERO issues with any Rom and that includes the manufacturers release. If that is so good at the time of release why would there be Updates.

I suppose you are right on the why custom room. I am stock rooted on my Nexus 10 unrooted on this. With ART, it seems to be a reason people for since that is the only way to get it on most devices. That was all I was implying there. Perhaps when we finally get 4.4 ART will be available sans root

Is it crazy to buy and use this phone rooted and running AOSP only. I am on Verizon with a Galaxy Nexus and unlimited data. The phone now sells for $450. I love AOSP, but being on Verizon the closet that I can get is continuing with my rooted Galaxy Nexus or buying a Moto X or Razr to get as close to stock as possible. The hardware of the G2 is better than both, yet I do not like LG's version of Android. My thought is buy this phone root and install AOSP immediately. Is that crazy or am I talking to just talking to the other inmates in the asylum?

It looks like I came to the right place. Any big issues rooting and running roms? I have rooted every Android I have owned so I am accustomed to the quirks that it may bring. Just wanted to know if there are any big things to aware of.

Some have issues getting ROMs to flash on the 12B for VZW update. But over time all the ROMs will have that fixed. The ROM community seem to have most of the bugs fixed or they're working on fixing them. I'd say give some a try.

I have a Verizon G2 as well, lasted maybe an hour before I rooted and installed a ROM. Most of the big issues with 4.4.2 ROMs have been fixed (or are very close to being fixed). Favorite 4.4.2 ROMs so far are OSE, Beanstock and Mahdi. They all run smooth and have lots of customization options! Ayysir's PAEK Kernel runs great on these ROMs too! Will allow you to overclock/underclock the processor.

This is good to hear. It sounds like G2 is the next best thing to having a Nexus on Verizon. At least I know I am not crazy or at least no alone in wanted to root and rom immediately.
I'm an AOSP guy as well, also on Verizon. I mostly prefer AOSP because I like to customize myself and it's a lot easier to do with AOSP ROMs. They're also fast and light. So I was surprised when I really liked the stock LG ROM a lot. Ran Malladus, modified stock, for a while. So maybe give it a couple days, can't hurt. But now I'm on 4.4.2, I eventually wanted my AOSP. I'd say go for it. If you just want stable AOSP, Paranoid Android is a solid bet. It's not full of all the PA features yet. It ran rock solid for me. But even the feature/customization packed Beanstalk ROM I'm running now has been solid. And I'm sure it'll get even better once official 4.4 comes out and brings along updated proprietary stuff. I agree with you, it's the best bet on Verizon right now. I like the Moto X but the G2's camera, screen and battery life blow it out of the water. And I feel like it's a lot more future proof. As others have said 12B can be quirky, there are some modified recovery builds in the Verizon board that may help, I haven't looked at them recently as I rooted from 12A. If you get it and it's on 12A, it may be worth not taking the update just to avoid any issues, although I'm sure they'll be ironed out soon. You can always flash the 12B radio on your own if you want it.

Thank you. This is exactly what I was hoping to hear. The battery and camera are hard to ignore especially when they are two of my biggest issues with my Galaxy Nexus. Hardware you cannot change, but software.... I will check out PA, CM and the other AOSP options available. I guess I better research and prepare for 12B just in case it is already updated.
I'm a huge AOSP fanboy. The reason I bought the G2 (Verizon) was because of the availability of ASOP ROMs. With that said, I've fallen in love with the stock LG ROM. Once you debloat and add some modifications (I suggest G2 Xposed) you have a stock looking ROM that runs fast and bug free. Despite fantastic efforts from our talented developers, you're going to run into bugs and other quirks with custom ROMs. With the stock ROM things just work.
Regardless of what you do, you'll really enjoy this phone. Welcome to the club.
When I bought mine it was already rooted and flashed with CM11. I purchased it from swappa that way. I actually recently loaded up stock just to test it and stock is so feature packed. I threw on nova launcher and an icon pack wow. Phone is such a beast on stock.
I told the guy to ship it with cm11 I'm a huge aosp fanboy but stock is good.

What bothers me the about stock is the notification shade and how cluttered it appears and no multitasking soft key. I would try stock with minor tweaks if I could fix those issues.

I hear what you're saying. Which is why G2 Xposed is so fantastic. Check out my screenshots. First is with one finger swipe down. Second is with two fingers. Also note the inclusion of a multitasking button in place of the menu button LG included in stock. Not trying to change your mind. To each his own. Just trying to convey the message, from one AOSP cult follower to another, that the LG stock ROM is actually pretty useful.

Rear buttons are fine. I actually prefer the layout now. They're weird at first, but in less than a day you'll be used to them. Plus the knock on/off feature means you won't use them much anyway.

Rear keys are still borked, but Knock-On I never use the power button and I've always let Tasker manage my volume levels.
I used stock for one day just to check the phone out, used AOKP 4.3 since. Works great.

Sounds like 'to each their own...' regarding the rear keys, yet they do not appear to be a deal breaker or keeping you from enjoying the phone.
I recently read a review that praised the hardware, yet cursed the software. They even commented that this phone is probably better for people who root phones. I am looking forward to doing so.
I am currently running M.O.A.R. rom on my Verizon S5. It has been okay, but it has it's downfalls. I am asking the community, what is the most up to date and reliable rom out there for the S5? Should I just go back to a stock rom? Looking for any and all advice.
none of them are perfect. Thats the difference between this phone and the last couple android phones ive had. With my s3 and my epic4g there was always one or two roms that were rock solid perfect even if not very exciting. Here its just what you can live with not working vs another
EDIT: I take that back, there were a couple rock solid roms, before everyone started switching to lollipop. Mrxtc's RICKSROM on Kitkat was rock effing solid. But he took it down. Kitkat in general was wholly more reliable and way better battery life and just everything. I wish someone still had a nice Kitkat rom.

I can't remember, but does HD calling work on KK? I'm currently on Phoenix but I am only connected to 3g for some reason.
i dont think but ive never ever had call quality issues with VZ so i never noticed HD calling doing much of anything.
Yes it does allow hd calling. Running it on my wives s5 on ricks Rom.
