Can someone verify of ART modifies the status of the device. I just turned on the phone this morning found an update applied it then choose to test art. Next thing you know i want to look for updates and I get that message saying that the phone has been modified. Lol wtf? I'm supposed to be returning this one to get the black one since they didn't have it on stock
I got the same message so panicked and switched back to Davlik. Message has now gone... Phew!!

I can confirm the same.
Probably more of a compatibility issue, ART is still technically in "experimental/beta phase" - Samsung probably have not changed their apps and services to be 100% working yet and therefore triggering the "Custom" status. If changing back to Dalvik works then that's good.
Anyone experience this.... I have been running ART, switched back to Dalvik to check for update, which all went fine. now trying to go back to ART and it will no go back just stays on Dalvik? Also my system status is back to custom. I know it will be custom cos I am rooted and have Philz recovery but everything else is stock, but it did go back to official when i switched back to dalvik. Can anyone tell me why i cant go back to ART now? Cheers

Not sure on this way. Running Stable 4.2.2 Google Edition and had 0 problems until a few hours ago. Went out after dinner, tried to google a phone #, but had no data. Rebooted (just for kicks), and still nothing and no voice. Trying to make a call I get "Mobile network not available". I tested using my daughters G3 and worked perfect so I know it's not that.
So, I would like to try 1 of 2 options, open to either.
1. Revert to the stock 4.2.2 and wait till the 4.3 comes around
2. Upgrade to test a newer ROM. I am reading up on the MF9 but a little unsure, if I am running an MD9, can I simply flash a newer MF9 ROM onto what I have?
I don't want to brick this phone, so what's the best way to move forward and hopefully fix this issue.
Thanks
Wipe your phone and flash a touchwiz ROM. Update prl and profile.

Thanks. Looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303917 there are plenty, but as I said, I am still on the MDL ROM, so I would assume pick an MDL touchwiz, no?
Actually I have a blu-Kuban (touchwiz) nandroid, I restored to that backup, and had the same issue. No voice, and the PRL, etc. all failed to update. I am downloading the stock deoxed MDL, and will try a wipe/clean install of him.
Tnx again

I'm actually running Blu Kuban as well and I do not have this issue. Try turning the cell data toggle off and back on. Also, make sure you aren't in airplane mode. I have noticed that sometimes the toggle is on while the airplane symbol will not show in the status bar.

Thanks, but since I did try a restore, that would ensure airplane mode was not the case as I don't use it nor would I have 2 ROM's both doing the same thing. I did do a wipe/restore with no luck, so now going to do a wipe/flash. If still nothing, will have to resort to going to stock and taking it to a local sprint shop!
Thanks

if restore fails.. try ##786# > reset on stock rom. you need your SPC/MSL for this.
if the 786 reset fails.. let me know in about device > status if your phone number is still listed.. and what PRL is shown.

BAM. Worked like a charm. Naturally have all my spring bloatware and such, but I can at least make a call! Not sure how/why that happened, but it did re-activate fine, so looks like were back in business!
Thanks for all the read/replies!

Have you tried rebooting the phone? Or wiped cache in recovery. Dalvik is imo still more stable and faster then ART atm.

I had ill effects when switching myself, found that best way to test it was to switch it to ART right after a hard reset or flashing stock via odin. Im sure just wiping cache and dalvik would have fixed it, but i was returning the phone for USB port issues anyhow so i flashed back to stock. not sure if clearing the android files on the internal storage or the cache/dalvik being wiped fixed it, but it ran find after that with no FC's etc. As stated though, i havent really noticed much if any improvement. Still too soon in its infancy to probably see much from it yet lol.
Good luck!
Ever since I rooted my Verizon S5, I've had a strange issue..
It happens every time I flash a new ROM using Safestrap (of course.)
When I go in to settings and try to click or unclick a checkbox, it doesn't work. Or for instance if I change the GPS mode from Power Savings to High Accuracy, it doesn't change. It just stays with the previous one. But if I reboot, and go back to that setting, it will be changed. The same goes for if I'm trying to allow installations of unknown sources... I'll go in, click on the check box to allow unknown sources, but it won't come on. Then I'll reboot the phone, go back in and it will be checked on. If I go in to Safestrap and wipe Cache and Dalvik, it works just fine for a few minutes, but then goes back to not working.
Anyone having this issue or know of any fixes?? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I've been using a custom ROM slot, I've tried to set it up in the stock slot but I can't seem to figure out how to wipe the stock slot. Is there a certain way to do that?
By the way, I flashed Optimal ROM as soon as you released it, best build yet! It's fantastic!!

You need to be using the stock slot. There are known issues with custom/rom slots. But yeah, you'd just wipe data/factory reset the same way. Then flash the ROM and firmware (if needed).
Glad you're enjoying the ROM!
Hello everyone,
So here's my story: I got a 6P short after release and it's been amazing. After switching from a S6 I couldn't be happier until 3 days ago.
I was playing around with my phone (checking for updates on the play store if I recall correctly) and I was going to switch from 4g to wifi. I went ahead and pulled down my notification shade and went to press WiFi but misclicked and hit Hotspot which was below it. My phone suddenly froze big time and this is for the first time ever since purchase.
At first I thought I'd wait it out since the device was completely unresponsive, home button didn't work and neither did anything on screen. Buttons didn't make a difference either. 10 minutes went by and I ended up force restarting by holding down power + volume up. First part of my bootup went fine but when it got to the android boot animation after I put in my pin to allow the device to start it dropped from the smooth usual framerate down to 1 frame every 10-15 seconds and it slowed down further until it came to a complete halt around the time the android letters appear.
My first thought was corrupt rom so I went ahead and wiped data from the stock recovery. I was running completely stock with no modifications whatsoever. That didn't do anything. Phone still froze in the same boot phase. Desperate I unlocked bootloader to flash a clean fresh image to try to fix it and to my surprise that didn't change a thing.
As I was getting pretty desperate already I had one more idea and that was to flash up to the Dev preview. To my huge surprise it booted and I jumped from excitement. So I started setting up my phone again. I got past the prompt to insert sim card and I was now at the screen to choose a wifi network. As soon as I clicked into that the phone froze up again and at that point I lost all hope.
I wiped data in stock recovery and shut the phone down for the night. On day 3, today I woke up and tried starting the phone and it worked as if nothing had happened. I went through the setup and set up my phone on the N preview. At a certain point I was planning to go back to the latest official build but for now I was happy my phone was back from the dead. Later today I tried to restart my phone to clear all running apps etc and it froze up on boot.
I'm losing all hope that I'll be resolving this myself so I'm reaching out to the community to see if anyone's had this happen to them before and hopefuly for a solution. It's still under warranty so I can eventually send it back to the retailer but I'd rather not have a phone for 3 weeks.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thank you for reading through my long and probably pretty boring story!
Have you tried flashing the factory image? If yes, did you made sure to wipe/erase the system, boot, vendor, and cache partition before flash the corresponding img files?
To the OP, is there any reason you did not flash to release version 6 instead of Dev preview ?
Also, any reason you can not simply do the "unenroll" from https://www.google.com/android/beta ?
It will require you to setup certain settings again as you will be back to a "factory reset".

DJBhardwaj, i haven't specifically erased those partitions. I was under the impression wipe userdata along with reflashing did that. I will try that tonight when I get home!
Xdafly, I only updated up to N as a last resort because at first I had a locked BL. I was planning to unenrol but that would've been too late as it self bricked after a restart.

Well I just did the erase thingy and my phone booted but wifi won't turn on. Enabling hotspot doesn't brick anymore but I now suspect WiFi might've been the issue. Any tips on how to find out what it could be and possibly fix it?
Edit: 2 restarts and a factory reset later I'm back to bricked same way as before.
try safe mode

That was my first thought, that was the restart that bricked it again. Safe mode shouldn't have made a difference since I hadn't even logged into Google account for apps.
After reading the very first post; sounds like bad WiFi hardware.
All the hanging has been related to WiFi or Hotspot.
I think you should get a replacement

Is your phone rooted and did you install Xposed?
Over the weekend I shutdown my 6p (stock rooted with April security patch, Xposed v80) and charged it. When it turned it back up I kept getting "Unfortunately, nfc service has stopped". Long story short: I ended up factory reset my phone and reinstalled EVERYTHING and I still got into bootloop. Then I came across
https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/113
https://github.com/rovo89/android_art/issues/28
At the end of the second post rovo89 (developer of Xposed) fixed the bug in V83. I wiped my 6p once more and installed everything with v83. Problem solved.
Good luck!
