Hi everyone,
I bought my nexus 4 about a year ago, and very recently I decided to give Cyanogenmod a try. I must say this was the first custom ROM I flashed on my device, and I'm quite fond of it. I also flashed a modified version of the latest franco.kernel for CM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53707610&postcount=459)
The thing is that I noticed that my phone doesn't vibrate when it's supposed to. In fact, it doesn't vibrate at all; no matter what I try, it just doesn't. For the record, it had been working flawlessly until a few days ago.
So far I've tried:
- Disabling/Enabling vibration in keyboard, notifications and calls
- Rebooting my device several times
- Updating to 20140723 nightly (I was previously on M8)
- Disabling quiet hours
I've been doing some reading, and some old threads advise to perform a factory reset, but it's kind of a hassle for me to re-sync all the photos and stuff. So, is there anything I should try before I do a factory reset? Should I try and flash a different kernel/go back to stock kernel?
Thanks
It's most likely a hardware issue. I'd backup the phone and then flash the factory image. If it still doesn't vibrate it's a hardware issue. It doesn't cost much to replace the vibrator. Do it yourself or find a local cell repair shop.

I would rather change the kernel first and see if there is any issues.
I flashed the latest CM nightly, which also changes the kernel to CM stock. This time you can hear the little buzz when you turn on the phone, but that's pretty much all the vibration I get. Phone calls and haptic feedback still don't work. At least, I know it's not a hardware issue.

I still think it's hardware. Roms can change the force it vibrates at. But if it's still low the vibrator is bad.

Maybe I wasn't very clear; the vibration force is OK, but the thing it that it only vibrates on startup, it doesn't buzz in incoming calls or any of that. So that's why I think the vibrator isn't broken

Thanks Joe! And a question.
First off, I want to thank Joe for all his hard work! Ever since I upgraded from the S3 to the S4 I have been missing CM for their lack of bloatware more than anything else. Found this just over a week ago, installed it and haven't looked back at TouchWiz ever since!!! Everything works great but I have a small issue I am hoping someone can help me with, I have tried using GravityBox and a separate Xposed module to have a different picture on the lock screen but all I ever get is a black background. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them. Thanks again Joe for all your hard work and I am sad to hear you will be moving on. Was hoping to see some of that Lollipop goodness but I understand that hobbies can only take so much of your time. Good luck with your S5 work!

Which rom are you using right now? I heard there's an issue with GB while on the gpe version. You might have to do a nandroid backup and try out pure nexus as others users reported GB working with no issue for them. And sometimes after applied a tweak, you must restart your phone to take affect.

How to Pure Nexus on SGH-1337M
Hello,
I have the SGH-I337M with bootloader I337MUMUAMDJ and with TWRP recovery, I'd like to install this Pure Nexus but I don't know what to chose when it comes to the modules.
Has anyone installed this or can anyone provide me some advice?
Thanks,
OMG I am LOVING the Pure Nexus rom on my S4!!!!! I just want to say that this was my first Android experience and was going to be my last until I stumbled upon xdadevelopers and this ROM a few days ago. I originally switched from an iPhone (which was hard enough) but when I got my brand new S4 I couldn't believe how slow and laggy it was, thanks to ATT apps and touchwiz, my phone with all these great specs could barely keep up with MMS messages and was lagging just scrolling thru my contact list!!??! :/
So anyways, I was ready to move back to the Apple side of the world before I decided to give this ROM a try and after installing the Pure Nexus rom all i can say is... WOW!!! I think i'm finally falling in love with this device 1.5 years later. This is exactly how the S4 should be stock from all carriers!! Pure, clean, fast and functional!! very impressed! Awesome work Joe!!

I believe I was in the wrong forums, I found GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.4 by Danvdh, Kryten2k35 & Ktoonsez and I believe it is meant for SGH-I337M so I'll give it a try.
Also, I did have one question, is there any work around yet for being able to connect this to a PC via USB and being able to transfer files? Again, I'm on ATT NC1 using the Pure Nexus Rom.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

No. Look into airdroid or the app in the OP. There will be no work around unless our bootloader gets unlocked, from what I understand it's a kernel problem and there's no real way to fix it without flashing a kernel

Wifi difficulties on Google Play Edition ROMs for I337UCUFNI1
Hello, I followed the instructions for the SafeStrap installation of various Google Play Edition ROMs on my Samsung Galaxy S4, NI1 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758259#post53758259
I successfully booted into working installations for all of them (Pure Nexus Edition, Google Edition for SafeStrap v1.1, & S4 Google Edition for SafeStrap. The phone could receive 4G LTE, but could not turn on Wifi. It became stuck on "Turning Wifi on..." & never progressed elsewhere. I performed all manner & combinations of hot reboots & full reboots, with no luck.
I also tried flashing different ATT modules.zip from NB1 & NC1, none of which changed anything.
In http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/development/rom-google-edition-s4-t2837239/post55466895#post55466895
I also saw that in addition to hot/soft reboots, trying go enter/exit airplane mode may also get wifi back up again. This too failed. I'm utterly confused how hot reboots & this airplane mode fix worked for so many others.
Anyone else had luck with fixing wifi?
Requesting advice/help. I just flashed this rom and have experienced two data drops already within 30 minutes of me using the rom. What should I do to fix this?
also...just tried to install chrome from the play store. When I open chrome my phone immediately vibrates 3 times very quickly, and says "unfortunately chrome has stopped". Ive tried clearing cache/data and uninstalling, neither worked. Did I forget to do something when I flashed this rom? other weird stuff has been happening like I rebooted my phone one time and the wifi wouldn't even turn on and I had to reboot again to get it working.
Every time you cold boot, you need to do a hot reboot to get wifi working.

Close all open notifications
I have tried all the settings in the Statusbar area, and I am not able to find the setting that turns on the "Close All Notifications" functionality that comes stock. It usually is a little "X" that lets you close all the notifications without having to swipe all of them individually.
How do I get the S5 lockscreen widget back after I removed it?

Wiped and installed this ROM and have been loving it. Just had a problem come up lately though and am not sure what to do. Everything is running fine, but it seems that I can't access 4G at all. When I first installed, for a couple days I was connected to 4G constantly. Now, it connects to 3G only even though I know there is a 4G signal available. Anyone experienced this? Please let me know any steps I can do to properly diagnose what is happening and what I should do to remedy the situation.

I had a similar issue on my previous phone, and it turned out my SIM card went bad. Try re-seating the SIM card or see if you can swap cards with someone else to see if that makes any difference.
Phone suddenly reboots and boot loops
Hey,
I am using the AllianceRom with safestrap, AllianceRom installed on stock rom slot. Recently, my phone would suddenly reboot while I am using it, making a call etc, then get stuck in a boot loop until I pulled out the battery, then sometimes it would start up well or get back in a loop.
Any help? Is there a Verizon app doing this?
Still have no 4G using this ROM. Tried reseating the SIM card and it just goes back to 3G. Just odd to me that it would work, then one day randomly turn off 4G and still use 3G. Even if I change the mobile data network to LTE it still says 3G.
Am I able to dirty flash version 2 over version 1?

Phone Crashing
Samsung SM-G900V NE9
At least once a day but usually several times a day my phone will not wake up when pressing the power button or home key. It freezes and the only way to get the phone back on is to hold down the power button and volume down button to reset phone or remove/replace the battery. Can anyone help?
I have the same problem. Recommend you flash stock rom. And monitor it.

Any word on build 3?
Anyone know which setting changes the color for text message content (not the sender, the part of the message itself you are able to read) on the dropdown panel? Its all gray and very hard to read although everything I can find is set to black or white... I can't for the life of me figure out what setting this is but I'd love to be able to read text messages without opening them from my dropdown menu. Any help would be appreciated. Using Textra and Nova Launcher with Color Splash theme in Alliance if that matters any.
I am on this ROM, but still on Baseband Version: G900VVRU1ANCG and Android Version: 4.4.2. Should I update to 4.4.4? Should I go to Baseband Version NE9 or NI2? I want to stay on this ROM for now. How would I go about doing this? Thanks.

Add Toggles
I am trying to add the extra toggles, but I don't have the "Scripts" menu at the bottom of custom settings... (it is not there) do I need to install xposed first? or am I missing something else? I did install build 2... never had an earlier version installed if that makes a difference.
I'm still on the fence about switching to lollipop. I know that Lollipop has ART which should make my edge run smoother and there are some additional changes with how notifications are handled on lock screen. Previously, I tried lollipop on my Note 3. I thought it was good but coming from the Tweaked rom I felt that it was still an overall downgrade. Even more so as I couldn't use Xposed. I really like Xposed modules like Unicon, SwipeBack2 and App Settings. Especially like App Settings cause it let me set up a tablet UI on some apps like mail which I prefer. Anyways, are there other features on lollipop that makes you happy you upgraded or do you feel like your Edge has turned to lollipoop?

LoL...Im in the same place as you Mscion. I just leaned a bit more towards doing it when I saw that Foreverloco posted a Deodexed version of Lolli but I feel same as you. I love xposed too and im not sure im ready to give it up yet. It doesn't look like xposed will work with Touchwiz any time soon either which is disappointing to say the least. A lot of my friends are saying they don't miss xposed much and don't regret going to Lolli. Maybe its time I sit down and learn to mod myself all of my favorite xposed mods if I can find the time that is. I think im going to pull the trigger today. Ill let you know my thoughts tonight after playing with Lolli for a bit. Sorry about the kernel M I never flashed I just couldn't find the time right now with my wife being sick and having to take care of the 3 rascals. Anyway im going to flash now and ill get back to you. Also cant you roll back to KK after flashing Lolli?

Well the only thing holding me back is the tether mod. I really need that before i update. Also i updated my daughter's s3s from Jelly Bean to LP 5.1.1 cm12.1 and i love it as do they. Very smooth and battery is much better. Tonight im doing my wifes S5 also yo 5.1.1 Cm12. I wish we had Aosp toms for our edge.

Well, you're quite the home IT specialist! Aosp roms would definitely take care of the Xposed issue. I'm still going to wait a little till something pushes me over the edge like some combination of foreverloco's theme and custom rom. If Samsung releases its source code (I've actually requested it) and it looks like I can set SELinux=permissive in the kernel I may go ahead and update then.
Hey m.....lol trust me im far from any kind of specialist, just your run of the mill flashaholic and boy did i get my fix in last night and today. So i installed CM 10.1 on my tab, Cm 12.1/5.1.1 on my girls s3's and Cm 12.1.1/5.1.1 on my wifes s5. All 3 of them are unbeliavably happy with LP. The battery seems to be a drastic improvement especially on the s3s but still a bit earlly to judge comfortably. Now i will work on my sons N3 and update him to a CM build. Hes currently r7nning Tweaked of course. I decided to go with Aosp for them because they almost never use the TW options such as Multi windows, etc...After playing around with their phones LP really grew on me tremendously even though it was Aosp i was messimg with. I really wish there was an Aosp tom for our edge i thing i would def take that route. Anyway sry for the rant but i just stopped in to let you know that all this playing with Lollipop has swayed my decision and i will be updating my phone tonight.
Ill let you know how it goes. Wish me luck?
don't do it!!
I have had lollipop for just close to a week and everyday I see something I hate.
1. Fb notifications appear as overlays and not simple popups on the edge. This is also happening with google messenger. Now if this is a new feature that the apps themselves have implemented then I need to go back to the previous version. But as far as I can see my movies, youtube and whatever else I am doing gets covered up now. Not cool.
2.Battery life is horrid. Simply horrid. I am down an hour on standby time. More importantly, when I am at 20% or around there its lime I literally see the battery percentages tick by. No gradual anything anymore. I hate it.
3.My teathering icon in settings ig gone. Wtf?!? How do you remove that key setting completely?
There are other things but these are my top 3. Can someone direct mr to how I xan revert back to kit kat if possible. I have not rooted this phone but if I need to I will.

No one that I can see has tried going back to KK from LP on the Note Edge as far as I have been reading in the forums. These HERE are the ODIN files you will need to revert back to KitKat. As far as people have commented, it works for a NOTE 4 which is almost identical to the Edge except for the Edge part. This is ALL BASED on the assumption you have a GALAXY NOTE EDGE AT&T SM-N915A.
The instructions are fairly simple.
*BACKUP your phone via KIES
*Download the files for KK mentioned before.
*Download ODIN
*Once backed up, place your phone in "Download Mode"
*Connect your phone via USB
*Open ODIN with Administrative rights ( you will see your phone connected under a "COM" )
*From the above KK file, you will have extracted 4 files that starts with TWO letters, "AP_" , "BL_" , "CP_" , "CSC_"
*Pick the appropriate button in ODIN to load those files according to the corresponding letters.
*Only "Auto Reboot" and "F Reset Time" should be checked.
*Once all 4 files are loaded, you can hit start.
PLEASE REVIEW A FULL YOUTUBE VIDEO TO SEE HOW OTHERS HAVE DONE IT SO IT LOOKS FAMILIAR AFTER YOU DO IT, assuming its your first time since that is what it sounded like.

Hi,
This is to inform those who have Note Edge on TTT ( Trinidad and Tobago) with baseband N915TUBU1AOA2, that I could successfully upgrade it to Lollipop using Odin and firmware from sammobile.com. I go through following steps :
#### Everyone told me not to do that since Firmware is not design for this baseband, I did it and now phone is great with Lolli with many customization*1, you can try it on your N915T on your own risk ####
1- Download Kies, install, and make a full backup

After upgrade, it turns to a normal USA T-Mobile unlocked Lollipop phone
I also used the same procedure to root Lollipop after that and it finished successfully.

*1 What you will see after upgrade to Lolli on Note Edge:
Pros:
>> Not any affect on your apks, settings, files ... any settings will be mapped to new setting options. Any app not compatible will be upgrade auto before first start.
>> Many customizations on notification panel, options to disable or prioritize notifications for each APK
>> Work smoother
>> New Edge pannels
>> Upgraded apks such as new S-health, ...
>> Ext SD Card access is granted by Lollipop, each app will take a One Time permission and then can access Ext SD (setting>>System>>Security>>Apps with usage access )
>> VPNs can be created without putting Password on lock screen, also Advanced and Simple IPSec VPN types added
Cons:
>> Some functions of Edge screen is gone ! Shutter button of Camera is not on the edge anymore, Incoming calls when you are working on an app is coming on both edge and screen causing distraction to your work, some notifications are coming on Edge and also on Screen at the same time
>> Some notification windows open without background (Transparent). It happens very few times and for System notification only. I have no problem with it but it's a bug.
Simple answer from me is no Lollipop is not worth it. I pretty much lost all my signal and data. It worked when it wanted to. I went back to KK with no issues now. Let's hope 5.0.2 or 5.1 is better.
I agree that Lollipop is not worth it and in fact, has made the phone worse, not better. Here are the issues I have since I have updated.
1. Phone does not work as well. I have to wait a few seconds upon answering to say hello, because I can't be heard right away.
2. Edge night clock no longer has the weather.
3. Emails take noticeably longer to load.
4. While talking on the phone, the screen does not always turn off.
I have had the Note Edge from the first day it came out and never had any of these problems before the update.
Ok. I added a poll to give this thread a more scientific quantitative basis
Im in between.
ON one hand i like what the updates have and how some things have been themed.
but then on the other hand, I can all go buggy real fast.
I have a few apps that just hang. some that crash ever once in a while.
I fix the crashing by wiping the app data, But i still get hangs and slow downs.
So its kinda hard for me to tell because when eveything works its great and i love the update.
But when it starts getting buggy i start to thing that i should of stayed on KK.
Dont have time to get into it but i love LP compared to KK. Only major thing that bugs me is i noticed when on wifi things sometimes take a while to load. Other than than great.

Have you tried the "unofficial" Xposed yet?
So I'm on a ported s6 rom (aurora) for note 3 (n900w8).
I've been noticing this problem, where a phone call would come, but no vibration with it even though the mode was set as vibration mode.
I have missed many phone calls because of this.
At first I thought I simply failed to notice the vibration, but yesterday I witnessed it not vibrating during the incoming phone call. Screen comes on, incoming call screen pops, but no vibration.
This problem persisted ever since lollipop (I think). Had the same problem in the previous roms (other note 3 lollipop roms).
Oh and it happens when the phone is in idle. If a phone call comes while i'm using the phone, it vibrates just fine.
So I was suspecting it might be blocked wakelock or alarm issue. But then again, the only app i'm using for that purpose is Servicely (by chainfire), and I only have a couple apps checked (ie. facebook, google play services, keep, mega, supersu...etc).
TW 5.0.2.
No xposed framework installed.
Rooted/deodexed.
Anyone experiencing the same problem? Any fixes? Help plz. This is starting to bother me a lot...
anybody at all ?
Well as long as the vibrating motor is okay I don't think there is much to think. You are on a ported ROM, so some bugs are to be expected. If you were experiencing the same on an official 5.0 ROM that would be bothering, but as its not you should ask about this in that ROM's thread.
Do you have enabled the power saving option? If yes, try to deactivate it and see if it still not working.
Flash an official rom.
'Ported' Roms are usually very poorly done, as they are meant for other devices.
