Someone please help.
I upgraded my Nexus 4 from CM10.1 to CM10.2-20130814-NIGHTLY-mako through settings-Cyanongenmod Updates.
Now I experience the following issues:
1), when making/receiving phone calls, no sound in/out; If I put on speaker, I can hear other people talking.
2), cannot download/update anything from Google Play.
Please help.

I recommend backing up your phone and then wiping it and doing a clean install of 10.2
Is it only me? does anyone else have the same problem?
I understand a clean installation may fix the problem; but I am trying not to do that due to time consuming before and after every clean installation. Normally, take me a whole day to go through settings and home screen layouts.
By the way, I cannot revert back to CM10.1 through settings-CyanogenMod Updates; screen stays on loading icon forever. Any ideas?

Use Helium. Then you can back up your settings, Launcher settings, text messages, ect, apps included if you want to your Gdrive, wipe, re-install and then just download Helium and pull it back down. It takes me about 4 minutes to back up my settings for:
Touchdown
Airdroid
Launcher
WiFi settings
Messaging
Chrome
G+
Keep
Voice
Skype
Hangouts
Then I wipe and flash a new ROM + Gapps (5min, if that), pull down Play Store update + Apps that I want to put back on my phone(about 7-10min), and then restore my settings(about 5min). I'm ready to go in maybe 25 minutes with the exact same setup I had before I started
It will take longer if you are backing up music, games and a lot of images too, but I have all my photos auto-upload to my G+ so I don't worry about backing those up, and my music is in the Play Music so I just thumbtack the ones I want to keep as i come acorss them again.
You need to update to the latest radio. Flash a 4.3 image with fastboot, then unlock, root, etc.
Sent from my Nexus 4
AND flash the latest Gapps: http://goo.im/gapps
if you are using lte, then you need one of the hybrid radios. if not, then the newest radio.
... too late to know all these and the Helium...
In the afternoon, I used titanium backup; and did a clean install of the cm10.2; same problem...no phone call; then I did a clean install of a old cm10.1; it works now!!!
when I am so excited to use titanium to recover my apps.... no backup file available... only .properties files in the folder.... zip files are missing.
I've lost all my app data and everything... until now, I am still trying to recover what I could remember...

Hi, I recently was on paranoid android and was getting ready to sell my galaxy s4 I9505 so restored a back up I made of the stock rom which was what came on the phone when I bought it.
I restored the back up, but once the phone had booted it was really slow and I kept getting loads of error messages saying different processes had kept failing. The same as in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...restoring-stock-rom-cwm-t2882455#post55566370
I then booted back into recovery and wiped data and dalvik cache, which after rebooting sorted the problem. The device was running smoothly and so I went on downloading my apps from the play store.
But I've since noticed apps like swift key, instagram, whatsapp and snap chat seem to be having issues. I don't have any SD card installed just the phones internal memory, which I have ample space (9GB) but whatsapp won't let me download images.
Snapchat says I need to install an sd before viewing video and Instgram mentions I need an SD before being able to take a picture.
Also the language pack for Swiftkey won't download and when I try and download a theme it says it can't save it.
So it seems there's something wrong with the way it's trying to store certain files. Has anyone else come across this yet?
I'm planning on following the whole unroot process anyway documented here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 which I'm hoping will fix it.
But I wondered if anyone knew what it is that's caused it?

Did you install the stock rom before or have you just restored your old backup?
If I were you, I would clean everything, install the stock sammy firmware (with latest base) and after that restore your backup

No it's not a rom, I just restored my old back up of my OS before I started flashing any custom roms.
I did a factory reset on the phone hoping it might resolve it. Which hasn't, but I'm not sure now if it's got rid of CWM. Would as I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery (it maybe just me not releasing the volume up button at the right time).
Think I'm going to have to flash a clean stock firmware following the unroot process and hope that fixes it.
Tl;dr version: The big question in my mind is: If I backup and app and its data from Lollipop, when I restore it to KitKat will it work fine?
The full story:
My wife's Nexus 7 got the Lollipop OTA a little while back and has been having a terrible time with the lag, etc. We've done all the suggested fixes short of doing a factory reset, which I want to try but have a problem to overcome....
My wife has a game which she has played for many many months which doesn't sync game progress to the cloud anywhere... Her sisters are quite competitive and constantly compare their each other's progress in this game.
She is having a miserable time with the Lollipop update, but wants this game data SO BAD that she is willing to suffer through the lag to keep it... but its driving me nuts...
I have a plan to move forward, but want to see if I can get some confirmation that my plan *should* work. I unlocked the bootloader on it in the past. it has since lost root, but I should be able to get it rooted again without hassle and without wiping data (correct?).
Plan A - Factory Reset Lollipop:
I should then be able to use either Titanium Backup or maybe Helium to back up that app's data. In fact, I may skip rooting and just use Helium with the desktop companion app. Then pull those backups to the cloud or onto the pc. Then do a factory reset on the device. Push back over the app's data backup then restore it. Does that plan seem correct? I've done similar in the past so I don't think I'll run into issues.
Plan B - Revert back to KitKat:
This is my secondary plan, and the one I have the most questions about...
After doing the above, if the tablet is still laggy, I'd like to revert it back to a factory image for KitKat since she was fine with that version until they release some bug fixes, etc. for lollipop. If I backup and app and its data from Lollipop, when I restore it to KitKat will it work fine? My concern is the difference between ART and Dalvik, etc. etc. I've seen a few places that talk about using backups when moving 'forward', but can't find a good answer on moving 'backward'.
Thanks,
Zeustopher
I installed Lollipop 5.0 with Odin and had no problems with the process. However, WiFi no longer starts up. That is, I can't turn WiFi on from Settings or anywhere else. What's really strange, though, is I can create a FoxFi hotspot and it works as expected, supporting a Nexus 7 WiFi-only tablet.
How do I revive WiFi support?
Did you factory reset after updating to LP ?
Always a good idea
I'd really rather not. The recovery process from an FDR is never fun.
What puzzles me is that FoxFi works. Thinking it might be a backdoor, I started FoxFi then tried to start WiFi. I got the expected "you can't have FoxFi and WiFi" message. I said OK, FoxFi shut down and... no WiFi. V. Weird.
I know it's a PITA to reset, but upgrading from KK to LP leaves rubbish files behind that cause all sorts of weird bugs, I had to reset when I upgraded thanks to battery drain, after the reset, battery drain was cured, and all LP updates since then have not needed a reset, it is purely moving from an older Android version > Newer Android
Sigh... I soooooooo hate doing this. And, yes, I want crackers and cheese with that whine.
Stupid n00b question: Before I blow everything away with the FDR, what's the best way to preserve all of my photos, and other app data? FWIW, before I started this project, I used Titanium to back up everything it knows about, but IIRC it doesn't anything photos, music, etc., etc.
I suppose I can just do a drag and drop of the phone legacy "SD" and stuff it all back in again after the FDR. Or doesn't that fly?

If you were rooted, and had a custom recovery, you could use that to backup your DATA partition, and restore it later, but yea, definitely backup your photos and vids to PC before doing anything, apps and stuff can be reinstalled, not great losing photos
Titanium backup is great for apps and data, not sure about photos and other user files that I know of, it's been years since I used it last
This gets worse and worse. In hopes of reviving WiFi and root, I went back to 4.4.4. And soft-bricked the phone.
Reverting to 5.0 undid the soft bricking but now I'm back to no WiFi.
At the moment, since I now have access to the data, photos, etc., I'm moving all of them out of harm's way. From there I guess I'm condemned to doing a FDR, installing 4.4.4, rooting, and trying to retain root as I go into 5.0. Damn VZW for making this so hard. [/Snarl]
Mostly out of desperation, I tried going back to 4.4.2 (NCG, not NE9), where the phone was when I started. Once again the phone is soft-bricked. What is going on here??? I'm using the files from Sammobile (forked over €7.50 to get things done somewhat faster...).
Under 5.0, at least I can read much of what I need to save, but things like wpa_supplicant.conf are closed to me because of I can't root the S5 under 5.0. Or can I?? If so, I'd be home free. D/l all the files I want to preserve, do an FDR, use Ti or Helium (I'm trying both) to restore much of the stuff lost in an FDR, and move forward from there.
Yea you can root lollipop with CF Auto Root, but it will trip KNOX
This project is driving me insane!
KitKat soft-bricks the phone, making any backup impossible, making rooting impossible, all under 4.n.n. 5.0 almost works except for the Settings flavor of WiFI (FoxFi works as expected, trying to revert to "normal" WiFi from FoxFi doesn't work).
Rooting under 5.0 will trip Knox. Maybe I'm being silly about that, but I'd like avoid that. I've had the phone about a year, so maybe I should just build a bridge, etc.
Meanwhile, in trying to set up to FDR, I went to Helium (Carbon as was) Pro to put the backup in Google Drive. Why? Because any internal backup ground to a halt at Titanium (37 of 87 backed up by Helium's accounting). Thinking I was hitting a space issue (not enough room for a full internally stored backup), I moved to Pro to store the backup off the machine (whyinhell doesn't Helium let you use the PC needed to enable Helium in the first place???). And that backup also ground to a halt at Ti. ARGH!!!!
OK, I fixed the Helium issue. For some reason, Helium refuses to backup Titanium. Is this hating because clockmod doesn't like Ti or is this one of life's very weird coincidences? Either way, I have 85 of 87 possible apps covered. The rest I can revive some other way without too much pain.
So I guess an FDR is coming soon...
I spoke too soon. Since I tinkered around a bit with trying to see if Helium keeps multiple date and time stamped backups (it doesn't! what's up with that??) I decided to do another full backup (less Ti, of course). and the backup ground to a halt at item 37 of 85 items. Yes, item 37, whatever it is, is a toxic item. What a crock! Worse, I'm out of the refund period for Pro. Dis sux.
OK, the FDR woke up WiFi and left me in 5.0. Now to try to regress to NCG...
I think this ends the thread. I got 5.0 running with WiFi but no root - FDR did the trick. I used Odin to put in 4.4.2 NCG and seemed to be soft-bricked. I used the bootloader(?) to do an FDR on the 4.4.2 install and that cleared up the soft-brick. 4.4.2 is now rooted with towelroot. If I have things right, I can get from a rooted 4.4.n to 5.0 and keep root without changing 0x0. We'll see if that's true... Meanwhile, for this thread, I'm out.
Hi there,
probably you know the issue. I have no sound and slowmo video with anything (youtube, instagram, sd card vids and any software). Also I noticed that also poweramp can't play music: also the time of the song is slow mo!!
When they also call me I can't hear the ringtone, but if I put on speaker I can hear loud and clear.
My idea is that is something related to the firmware, for example a sistem app or a deamon that can't decode video/audio properly anymore cause it's messed up by another app or so. So far I tried:
- changing ROM
- changing SD card
- changing bootloader and modem
- factory reset
- clear cache etc....
- removing some apps
Maybe someone knows how to fix this.
I'm on wanamlite 2.9, 4.4.2 kitkat, gt-i9505
Thanx
I'm not sure if this is available on kitkat or was introduced only after lollipop, but you could go into developer options and change NuPlayer to AwesomePlayer, or vice versa.
But as I said, this may be only available from lollipop.
And as a general rule, if it happens on various ROMs, then it's most probably a hardware error.
Another thing you could try is to format data. Not wipe, format. It's a bit different than wiping, cuz it will completely wipe your phone (ROM and internal storage), even files that a normal wipe can't reach.

Yeah awesomeplayer starts at 5.0.1
But I'll try to format.
How can I do this? From twrp? Any workflow you suggesting?

Yes, it is done from TWRP. There should be an option to format in the wipe section.
I suggest backing up all your files from the internal storage, as it will most probably get wiped.
And read the warning message carefully.

Didnt help. Also reinstalling Wanamlite didnt....
Perhaps I got other issues, sometimes calling didnt work... strange.
I guess it's a hardware issue but I couldnt find anything helpful....
