Problem with Chainfire3D and wifi

Hi guys.
First off,I have a problem with my wifi.When I am connected and have the screen turned off for some minutes,it's like I lose connection.The wifi is connected,but I have no internet and I have to turn wifi off and back on to be able to use my internet again.
Secondly,I have a problem(kind of) with chainfire3D.I choose a plugin and click fix market.However,I can see no extra apps.And what's worse I have bought Asphalt 6 from the market and I cannot install it!It won't show up no matter what I do!And it happens generally,not only with Asphalt.No additional stuff shows up on market.
I am on KE7 with KF1 CF-Root kernel if it matters.
Thanks guys,I hope someone can help.It ain't nice knowing I threw money away,don't you agree?

Bump!
Sorry for insisting but my nerves aren't in the best state they could be.
Wifi problem seems to be gone with Cognition 1.0.4.Chainfire3D/market one persists though.

Hotspot

If I root my phone gs4, does that mean I can use hotspot for free? Or is free hotspot usually included in the rom?

try searching
As W7 said. This is such and old question. Do yourself a favor and find the answer yourself.

Rooting your phone allows you to install software that you otherwise wouldn't be able to, due to carrier or device software limitations.
IF you root your phone, there are a large number of hotspot apps that you can install that will provide a hotspot for you. ROM's are usually just a collection of software (with the occasional performance tweak) that you can install. 99 times out of 100, ROM authors have merely borrowed someone else's hotspot app and packaged it in with the rest of the apps that they like. So no, you do not need to install a ROM just to install a hotspot app.
<Necessary Legalese> Keep in mind though, that if you cannot install a hotspot app and one was not provided on your phone, it's likely against the terms of service from your carrier. :angel:
I've done the searching and I realize this might be old, but I've been using hotspot with my gs4 for free and I don't have any hotspot apps. I'm running pacman but id like to play with other ROMs, just don't want to lose my free hotspot ability.

the vast majority of roms have wireless tether built in. if you find one that dosent then there are multiple apps to make the feature avaliable.

nobody cares about the call ended issue on aosp roms???

I see a lot of people using this typeof ROMs and they don't seem to care about this issue...this is the only thing keeping me away of this ROMs.....is this ever going to get fixed or can anyone try to report it the right way???
I care about it bc I make a lot of calls and use the actual phone feature the most out of everything on my phone. this is a known issue with the s4 which I've never had on any other phone. some people report never having the issue. regardless I'm gonna leave it to the pros

No phone
I installed the Avatar ROM. All was going well until I needed to use my phone. Yeaaaa. NO. I can make the call...and even receive calls. But no audio whatsoever. Whats up with this? Im not sure if Avatar is an AOSP ROM but...it sukks. I had to flash back to PacMan. I was hella diggin Avatar too. I had installed the Optimus Prime theme and set up my entire phone. Only to have to delete it all. FAIL
Did anyone find a fix
Did anyone find a fix? More specifically for 4.4 roms?
I am running carbon and don't seem to have any phone problems.

(Q) Anyway to actually fix the bluetooth wake lock?

I was on another stock rom that was giving me some problems with RR's and some things so I flashed another stock T-Mobile debloated rom found here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688981
And now I have this hideous BT wakelock. It's really annoying. I have read a lot about it on the net but just not whether or not there is a fix for it... I don't really want to use an AOSP rom. I like the stability of stock with some exposed additives but this is kinda crazy. Really eats a lot of my battery up...

It sounds like you know what you're talking about. I'm just a little confused. Bluetooth isn't running. It's not even turned on. So, I'm not thinking it's an app. Apparently it's a known issue. I just wonder if anyone has fixed it .. Or how their dealing with it.

It is a bug with in kitkat its self not lg's ui
Download the service disabler app from play store
Open it and go to system apps .. scroll down to bluetooth open it and kill all blue services by clicking them ...
If you end up with any issues with bluetooth not working just revert the diaabled services .
This app works for any serice and is my best friend

Thanks! Will do. I hardly ever use bluetooth so this will be great. So I can just re-enable the service when I want to use it! :thumbup:

Is it even a real wakelock I was under the impression that bug caused it to show as on when it wasn't.

I dunno. I asked myself the same question. I charged to 100% and then unplugged and went about 16 hours with about 5 hours screen on time before the phone turned itself off.... Others get better life. With the other kit Kat stock rom I had I went about 18 hours with 5 hours screen on time and had about 20% left.... That rom started random rebooting. Never could figure out why... If I reflash it will remove my TWRP hence why I don't just reflash that one and started using this one....

Hi ,
You could try with a different kernel to improve the performance of the phone , make sure is for a TW rom.
Here some samples
