Hello,
Joined the forum recently,unable to post in any of the existing threads due to the 10 posting rule (yawn!)...hence started a new thread, Apologies if this has been already reported, cd not find the related thread.
I have tried all ROMs (barring MIUI) and observed the following
On 2.3 Stock ROM & Andro - The phone gets hot while using 3G (the lower part) and sometimes while on charge (not the battery). Is this normal and expected of a Huawei product ? I use a Huawei 3g dongle and have observed it to get hot on usage. Occasionally have also seen the phone to heat up while on EDGE. Not sure if this is my handset problem or something else (due to overclocking ???). Open to advice suggestions.
GPS is not working on Andro, it hooked on to the satellite only once post searching for 15 mins.
2.3 Stock ROM & Andro - I have seen other members report of Screen lag - is this the lag in screen display appearing post pressing the on/off button post screen lock or the delayed response while moving between screens ? I have not seen any delays while pressing ON/OFF in Froyo, India 2.3 Update, Good ROM 318D update or Andro update. And in all, i have seen delayed response while swiping to the next screen.
Is there Wifi Problem in Good ROM 318D ? I experienced WIFI issues;did not lock onto my home WIFI despite multiple attempts. No issues observed on other ROMs
Noticed Bluetooth headset (I use a Nokia) volume is very low in Official Stock ROM (2.2, India 2.3 and Good ROm 318D) but excellant and loud in Andro ?
Couple of more points/queries (pardon me if these are elementary !)
On 2.3 the EDGE/3G/WIFI notifications sometime goes White, what does this signify ?
Saw a thread on 1500mah battery, Anyone's used it ? Appreciate a review. My battery experience is just ok.
I rooted the phone on Official 2.3 ROM, installed ROM Toolbox, it asked for Busybox while trying to change system font. Installed that from market, however the phone restarted suddenly and hanged at Android Logo at start up. Where did I go wrong ?
Phone occasionally restarts, have read this in other CSL MI410 reviews, noticed this happen when there is an FC or the phone is busy !
Thanks
Couple of observations
My girlfriend wanted Jellybean on her vivid, so we set her up with CM 10. She isn't a heavy phone user, so most of it works just fine for her.
However, she's run into a problem where occasionally the phone reboots when she tries to make a phone call. No amount of power down, power back on seems to fix the issue. It does seem to go away in time, but will eventually come back.
Any suggestions on this? The ROM she is using is the unofficial Cyanogen one by H8rift and team.
Thanks for any help!
Hi all,
I've searched on this forum and in Cyanogenmod's forum about the stable release of Cyanogenmod version 10.1.2 (latest stable I think), but couldn't find an answer about this. Are there any known issues or shortcomings of this ROM? Is everything working fine? (internal/external storage, NFC, WiFi, etc.)? I live in Chile, are there any concerns about baseband, ie. will telephony/3G work just fine?
I want to try CM asap, but I'd like to find some reassuring info that everything will work fine afterwards
Thanks in advance for any help on this,
UPDATE: I'll list here a summary of known issues I'm aware of; thanks a lot to all who have replied! Please correct me if I got anything wrong, I want to document known issues for the LATEST STABLE CM version only! Nightlies don't count!
- Issues with MHL (Not working? working poorly?)
- No screen wake with volume key (my stock v20A doesn't do that, either, for the record
- No FM Radio
- WiFi during sleep drains battery quickly
- Having NFC on drains battery quickly
- Camera app sometimes corrupts pictures on best quality settings
- Can't connect to WEP-protected WiFi networks (found this elsewhere on the forums)
Everything works perfectly fine from my experience. Apart from the MHL issue, which I recently discovered, everything is perfectly done
there is no volume wake... in stock when lock screen offs.. volume key wakes the screen. its not bug just a tip!
there is no lg hidden menu too and lg fm radio
but there is a lot of other things in cm
wifi during sleep no very good (drains battery, but stays better with iodak kernel)
some also say nfc drains battery, havent tested myself.
camera app little bug when putting pictures to excelent quality (becomes corrupt if to many details on picture)
Thanks a lot for all your replies. I've added an update to the original post with all known issues I've been able to gather, from replies to this thread and looking on the forums.
I had issues

I don't know, but I had to go back to the LG ROM, after install the CM 10.1.2 on my LG 4X the battery life was the worst I've ever seen, I had to recharge it at least 3 times per day. When I let the phone completely charged at night, in 6 hours the phone drained up to 20% of the battery, I mean, the phone just standing by drained 20%!!! I think that's crazy!!... I let it with 100% and when I woke up the phone had only between 85% and 80%... when with the LG ROM it just drained at most 4% (96% for use). And when I was using the phone, the screen process used up to 50% of the battery. I had to go back to the original rom.
I have to say that the phone ran so much better in every aspect than with the LG ROM, but I prefere battery life. Has anyone had the same problem that me? I would like to go back to the CM but for me is very important the battery life.
Thank you so much!
I was about to change to it but then I wad told that there's battery problems so I thought it is not worth it.

In all cm based roms i had lockscreen notification bar drop issue i think it's the only annoying bug.
Not sure if it's in 10.1.2.

Very good ROM
Only 1 issue - couldn't turn off NFC, neither in notification bar, nor in settings. It would just pop right back on. Had to disable it in app settings. In battery info it's showing NFC to take up 40% of the power.
If someone is uncertain - this is IMHO good for daily use, no crashes so far.
One thing, when screen is off Battery Monitor Widget shows +875mA current on 2A charger. But when I'm using the phone (mail, web browsing) it shows that battery is discharging "-100mA", even though it's connected to charger. Is that software related, or I need to replace the USB socket/charging circuit in my 4xHD? I have it since yesterday and I instantly flashed CM :/
NFC: Read and you'll find it out. Otherwise trying the most trivial idea regarding any software would work as well.
Charging: No problem there, the system lowers charging current when the device gets hot, i.e. when you use it.

Are you sure about that? That's the first phone that did this to me. LG GT540, and LG G2 were charging pretty fast, even when under 'heavy' usage (playing games, etc), and 4xHD have dissapointed me utterly, when it has screen on and I'm just using dictionary/whatever (Wi-Fi and mobile data off) it's slowly discharging.
Man, I think I'll cry after G2's battery life and features in a while.

Contacts app was undergoing a huge work in the last month, there might be occassional bugs, but those will be ironed out shortly.

Download links doesn't working .Any other solution?
@Demetris, well, problems with autofocus and flash still exist, when press button to take picture flash turn on picture getting focused then flash turn off and then 5 sec nothing and then picture is taken. But delay is still here.
Is there any solution except using continuous instead auto focus.
Thanks
Problem with Wireless
Hi,
I have a problem with my wireless. Especially with the wireless network eduroam which is used by several universitys. It uses 802.1x EAP with PEAP and MSCHAPV2. It seems when I'm changing my location the wireless crashes. I'm not able to turn it off and the whole configuration and mobile internet crashes too. After crashing there is a information that the configuration was terminated. I'm using the version 11-20140916-SNAPSGIT-M10-p880 but I also tried the newest nightly. Sometimes the wirless crashes in my home Wifi. Is this bug already commited and what I'm supposed to do?
Thx.
I have no problems with eduroam, just used it for around half an hour without issues.
I'm using Official CyanogenMod 11 M10, and the phone is pretty much rock stable. The only things I would like changed are:
1) Boot time to be shorter
2) Battery consumption to be more efficient
Can we expect these problems to be solved on the next Stable/Snapshot build?

Thats kernel issue i"ll have a look
1. That ain't a problem
2. I think that here can't be done much anymore, battery is OK. It's hardware issue. I get max out of battery when i charge over night. If i eject charger right after charging reach 100% battery last much less..
With charging over night i get about 15-20 h on and about 2h screen on time

I cant recieve calls?
Hi there, I would appreciate any help whatsoever. The first custom rom I flashed was paranoid android but it was buggy so I thought I'd give cyanogenmod a shot. I flashed a stable 10.1.3 only to find a problem which I guess only I have. I cant recieve calls and when I go into settings>about phone, my IMEI is there but phone number says unknown. Why have a phone if you cant recieve calls? Whatsapp doesn't work either by the way. I like this ROM and I don't want to go back to stock. I'm new to flashing so please make replies detailed Also, does anyone know how to disable the button lights?

Flash CM11, I'm on 20141018 nightly and it's pretty much usable as a "daily" ROM. Just get recovery (AFAIR you need at least 6.0.4.4 to flash KitKat ROM), flash it, copy ROM and google apps to your SD card, wipe cache, data, format system partition, wipe dalvik (I don't even know if all of this is necessary) and you should be good to go. In recovery thread there will be tutorial on how to flash it, and as you flashed a ROM already you should know how to do the rest
help please can't overclock my LG 4x to 1.6 or 1.7 ........ I don't know why do every think ( root / unlock boot loader ) try most rooms and kernels ( wipe cache, data, format system partition, wipe dalvik ) !!!!!!!!
baseband for italy
Hello, I'm using baseband form v20d of the turkey stock. I have no network problems with CM11 (or beanstalk) . Anyone would suggest to update to baseband v20c for germany/italy ?
MAC changed during 20C update?
Hello, anyone else noticed that your WLAN-MAC changed during upgrading to latest firmware? I was updating from 20A_EU-->20C_GER. Phone originally came with Telekom Firmware (German). New Baseband works okay for now, crashed yesterday 1 time, but maybe it was related to me hitting the traffic limit on my contract and getting throttled. I'm using the nightly from the 27th.
data connection loss
Hi!
I've been facing this issue for a long time now and i tried a ton of roms, switching back and forth from the cyanogenmod 11 to omni and others... I find almost impossible using my data connection 'cause every time i switch it on, after about 5 minutes i end up having no connection at all (no service). Sometimes my phone asks me to reenter my pin number and everything seems to work fine for a couple of minutes, then i have no service; sometimes it doesn't even ask me the pin code and i have to reboot my phone in order to make a call... How can i fix it? It has driven me crazy, i searched all over the forum for answers but it seems none has my problem.
EDIT
In addition, since i keep off the backlight of the buttons on the bottom, i noticed that whenever this bug occurs, the backlight goes on and keesps staying on 'till i switch it off again, even if i reenter my pin code
ok guys, after almost a year of testing different custom ROMs (CM 11,10.1,10.2) I am thinking about going back to stock JB because of the bugs (GPS, dark camera, low incall volume, force close, compass and magnet sensor bugs, random reboots, youtube pixelation, twitch stream not working, 720p video lag, alarm not ringing very few times, fast battery drains). So If i go back to stock 4.1.2 JB then i will have to face lag and not bugs. One big reason that i want to go back to stock 4.1.2 JB is that in CM 11 custom rom team canjica which i am currently using, i found that there is a network bug and network seems to go away and i am unable to call anyone while the other phone is working fine with the same sim card at same location, and bringing the network back after restarting the phone is such a hassle. Is there any way to make stock JB ROM as fast and lag free as CM 11 ? I am willing to root and do anything to the phone (debloating and kernels). Any suggestions ??
