We have cm14!!! - T-Mobile LG G4

Found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4D0MZmDMz8 an hour ago. It boots and everything but im still testing for bugs. so far for me camera doesnt work. looking for other to help test for bugs so we can squash them. Thanks to Droid Mobile!!!

In addition to the camera not working, I can not get video/audio playback of any kind. Which sucks because this is a VERY snappy build!

i get audio but no video. and yes indeed it is extremely fast!

I'd love to test for bugs with you two but AFH is currently down for maintenance so I can't get the zip file.
Question, is calling/texting working fine? What about cellular data in general?

Thank you guys for trying it out! I can't test as this is my daily, but I would love to hear more. Nougat seems very promising and I'd love to try it out once it's a little more refined!

Since AFH is still down is there any chance you could re-upload this [temporarily] somewhere else so you can get a few more people to help test it? I'd love to help out.

To my knowledge the site is up right now(just checked). Try the site now.

It boots and it's really fast, but it doesn't have camera or audio/video playback, which means no phone calls either. Bluetooth works though for audio.

New build up for our H811. Looks like all new unofficial builds will be here.
9/21 build has working audio, video, and camera. Data is a bit wonky it gets LTE just fine but 2G/3G seems to be not working for me. Video chat on Facebook Messenger does have some very slight audio drops from time to time but very solid. Also noticed that the video on Facebook Messenger doesn't go proper full screen the notification bar and navigation bar remain on screen.

I'm not sure how you got that to work, I installed 9/21 and I don't have audio, video, or camera at all. Same behavior as 9/14 after clean or dirty flash.

I left a comment over on the LG G4 forum, not this T-Mobile specific one, letting people know what I found working and not working based on the 9/14 build. I received a reply to it which I'm going to quote below.
"Yeah earlier builds didn't have the audio policies fixed; now they do. Obviously the camera is being worked on"
Can anyone else confirm what FlinderMouse said? I'd rather not flash it just yet and I'm skeptical of what AngryManMLS is stating regarding audio/video/camera working in the 9/21 build.

I think I might have been on 20i, but I flashed to 20o stock for now so I'm not sure what I was on... it's possible that was my problem.

It's 100% safe to install. And since I've had more time to use it here's a more comprehensive list of where things are at right now. Keep in mind we are basically in alpha stage at this point but this is a very solid alpha build. Also keep in mind that this is my own experience with the 9/21 build which could be different from the one you have.
Video Playback - YouTube, Slingplayer, DirecTV all work for me with no issues.
Audio Playback - Google Play Music and PowerAMP work all fine for me with no issues outside of occasional audio drops (see: Bluetooth, Video Over IP).
Video Over IP - Facebook Messenger works but there's some audio drop outs I experienced and it doesn't go proper full screen.
Bluetooth - Both my Bose QC35 and LG G Watch connect and work just fine but Bluetooth itself seems to randomly turn off for no reason. Also had occasional audio drops on my QC35.
LG G Watch - Able to sync properly and do everything from changing music tracks on PowerAMP to using Google Fit with ease.
Data - A little slow to find LTE but that works. 2G and 3G is flaky at best at this point.
WiFi - Connects to my Linksys EA9500 just fine and works just fine.
Phone Calls - Can make and receive phone calls just fine. Obviously no WiFi Calling available but to be honest CM13 at this point doesn't have that implemented for the H811 (T-Mobile) G4 variant.
Camera/Camcorder - On the native CM14 camera app able to take pictures on rear camera no problem. Front (selfie) camera is messed up. Unable to record video. However on Facebook Messenger the front (selfie) camera works with no issues. So camera at this point is semi working.
NFC - It turns on and off... and that's as much as I can tell you since I usually don't use NFC.
And to also note some expected Cyanogenmod features are either missing or are not working at this point. For instance I'm unable to change the battery meter it's stuck on the default one. And the theme engine hasn't been implemented into CM14 at this point but that's a given at this point. Still for what is an alpha level build this is pretty solid and still pretty usable even with the bugs it has right now. The build is very fast for the most part - I did experience occasional lag when turning the phone on and waiiiiiting for the lock screen to appear. Worth giving a run for even a few hours just so you can play around with Nougat for a bit.

I'm on 20o already and based on what you said above I'm sold. I'll flash it this evening and then also report back with my findings.
By chance you haven't tried the camera with the Google Camera, have you? Asking more out of curiosity than a need to know if it works with that fine too.

I actually forgot to test with Google Camera. Interestingly enough video recording at least at 1080p works on Google Camera. Here's a quick test video I did.

Thank you for the excellent builds. Sorry I forgot to write that earlier.

Excellent build for the 9/21. I am using it as a DD for the next few days so Ill update.
Video and Audio seem to working just fine now.
LTE is a little slow to kick in on reboot but nothing worse than the previous CM13 builds
I have had to forced reboots and both revolve around the stock CM gallery. I installed Google Photos since I use it for backups and have had no issues yet. Google camera seems to be working the best so far. I normally use the paid version on Snap Camera but its not playing back the recordings. Smooth snappy in and out of apps and screens. And so far battery life is shaping up to be very good.
On the first install I was having issues. I had to KDZ to stock 20o and then go through the rooting process again before I could get this working. It was just hanging on the "Starting Apps" boot screen and would go no futher no matter how long I let it boot.

Currently running the 9/21 build flashed over 20i. No audio or sim card recognition. I have WiFi luckily . can't install lollipop ROMs, this is the only one that will boot. So based on my experience, I'd say be on 20o when you flash. 20i seems to be totally buggered up. Like I said, I can't even boot lollipop ROMs now so I'll have to kdz to 20o when I get home so my phone will have signal and audio. I've also noticed rotation does not work.

I don't think chrome is working on any of the ics roms yet. I haven't tried any of the ics roms in a few days but it's always one of the first things I check (even though its not going to have flash). I'll be playing around with ics over the weekend so I will be able to see if that particular problem was fixed but its only alpha so its no big deal if it isn't.

That may just be for you, I have been running it all day with no problems, besides the front camera, video, and everything else that is known. Try going to settings, then under Wireless & networks > network mode > click GSM only, wait for screen to flash, then hit LTE/CDMA again and after about 30 seconds you should have data.

Ya. I have done that too. No luck. Well, I'll just go back to GB till a stable working ROM is out, and thanks to everyone and all the Devs that are working hard for us. I just wish that I had the knowledge of doing this but unfortunately I don't. So, all the DEVS out there, THANK YOU.
Now on 2-24 ICS and 2-17 Gapps this morning, here are my initial thoughts after coming from 2-10:
- Camera will take photos but does force close for me after each photo taken
- I had to toggle GSM Only --> GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) a few times today to get data back
- Twitter app has FC'd a few times for me, never did with 2-10
- ICS Music app won't start, FC's as soon as I try to load it. The old Google Music app does work
- Having battery icon at top display increments is great (even if it is only by 10%)
- Google+ FC's like whoa
That is all for now. I did not wipe data when I flashed the new version so take this for what its worth. I just didn't have time to, still might if others don't notice these issues.

[Q] Skype on the Razr I

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone managed to install Skype on this device? It seems to only work on ARM based devices, so just wondering if it works on the Razr I. I love the look of this phone, however, skype is a must for me.
Can anyone let me know if it is compatible?
Thanks

Is videocall working?
Video call is working on both front and back cameras
It certainly works but I not sure you can say it works like a charm, as Skype for ANY Android device can be hit and miss.. especially when it has spells that don't let you log in at all (including the incorrect password errors that aren't incorrect).
I use Skype for work and really can't rely on using it solely on my phone, especially thanks to the drain on the battery, which is a shame.
Works sooo good, i call every day to my girlfriend and no bugs at all!!

Never had these problems across three android devices over the last couple of years. I feel lucky.
Wow, you are! I've got Skype installed on a large number of devices (and tablets - and to be fair, they've done a good job of making a decent tablet mode now) and have had plenty of problems.
Connecting via mobile data has often caused many problems, from failing to connect to being connected but not receiving any IMs (or being able to refresh and load older ones).
One thing Skype has improved massively on though is the need for RAM (or taking it all up), which used to cause me no end of hassle on devices without 1GB of RAM - forcing even the homescreen to be closed and restarted. This occasionally happens on the Razr i, but very, very rarely.
there's ia a problem with my videocalls
I have a problem with my skype and other videocalls with JB, my front cam makes a zoom on me but my regular front cam to take pictures is ok. i have tried other jb firmwares and the problem continues. skype and tango work dine on ICS.
My carrier seems to hate Skype, because the calls are a no-go when on 3G, even I tried in other major cities, but as soon as I connect to any decent wifi I have no problems, the quality of the call and voices are nice.
same problem

[Q] Tmobile Note 4 Lollipop - Screen Mirroring choppy video playback

I've got a Tmobile Note 4 running Lollipop (updated OTA yesterday). I use a Samsung Wireless Dongle and Screen Mirroring to watch some shows. I noticed yesterday that video playback has become extremely choppy since the Lollipop update. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I double checked my network settings and everything is working smoothly. Video playback on the Note 4 itself is just fine. Just choppy on my TV screen when Screen Mirroring through the Wireless Dongle. Any ideas about how to address this would be much appreciated. I am rooted, running stock TouchWiz Lollipop ROM, if that matters.
Try without the dongle? It does work wireless if you have a smart tv
I have the dongle because I don't have a Wi-Fi Direct/Screen Mirroring capable television. I did dig around in Application Manager and found Wi-Fi Direct Share, and I've cleared the cache and data for it. I'll try it out this evening to see if that will get it working smoothly again.
Should note that on KitKat, the Dongle worked just fine. It is a Samsung brand wireless dongle.
There is no data nor cache to clear on Screen Mirroring app itself nor on the Wi-Fi Direct app. So crossing my fingers this Wi-Fi Direct Share has something to do with it.
I have the same samsung wireless dongle but since I updated to 5.0 i havent had the chance to stream, ill give input in a few when i get home. Also i had a lot of freezing while watching movies on 4.4 not sure if you ever experienced that, it was very annoying. Also I'm stock.
Still not resolved
Wireless dongle playback is still choppy as described in OP. Interested to here from others. A better description might by jerky... Audio is just fine. Might dig around in the build.prop file later. Otherwise, any feedback from others experiencing this issue or others who might have an idea for troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.
Try booting up in recovery and wiping cashe partition that seems to fix a lot of strange problems for me.
No such luck, mate. Thanks for the suggestion, though. It's bareable as is right now, but it does bug the **** out of me. Haha. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there is experiencing this. I'm thinking of borrowing a Chromecast off someone to see if it has the same issue. I mean, the video in every app is smooth as butter on my phone screen, but the TV is jerky ever so slightly via the Samsung Dongle. I know it's not just me because my wife who typically cares less about tech noticed it.
Leave it to good ol Sammy. Sort of like that BS way they built screen mirroring to break on rooted devices using third party (read:non Samsung dongle) back on the Note 3. Anyone have an idea of something I could try to edit in the build.prop file? Any other ideas? I found an app on the Play Store that's meant to fix Screen Mirroring issues after an update, but when loaded it doesn't give me the option to run it, apparently it thinks I am already patched. Oh. And Samsung was the manufacturer of that app, go figure. So apparently this has happened in in the past?
If all else fails, I may just try a fresh install. I'm trying to wait for the latest version of TWRP because I heard some folks have had no luck flashing ROMs through TWRP after upgrading to Lollipop OTA and then rooting (which is what I did; I never rooted on KitKat because I wanted to keep my 1 yr Sammy Warranty intact, just in case). I know tripping Knox apparently doesn't affect the Tmobile insurance, but I've read varying stories on whether it affects your Sammy factory warranty.
Well. I'm off off to play some AC Unity on the PS4. I'll check back later. Happy trails
I am experiencing the same issue ever since I updated to lollipop. Video mirroring to my Samsung smart TV very choppy.
Nobody has any possible solutions for this? Please give it a shot if you have any ideas whatsoever. Now we have two confirmed reports.
Quick update. Hard reset and even unroooting the device didn't resolve the issue. Definitely something baked into to the latest TMO stock ROM
I've even had the screen freeze on the chromecast when mirroring but audio still plays
@knarfies I used to get a similar issue with Netflix but Lollipop resolved it. So can you connect with Chrome cast, but it freezes occasionally? How often is it happening? The Samsung Dongle works without freezing audio or video but is jerky enough for me and the wife to notice. Wasn't like that on KitKat.
I'm running stock and im using the samsung dongle and the video actually plays smoother on 5.0, when I was on 4.4 it use to freeze all the time I'm not sure why is not playing gird for you guys, plus whatever I was on 4.4 the video playback in general would freez during playback even when I was not screen mirring.
I am currently rooted with a custom kernel and stock ROM, but even before the mods, it was no longer working correctly. Samsung has an app on the Play Store to patch problems with Screen Mirroring after a software upgrade, but when I downloaded it, it said I was already patched. Even after a hard reset and completely non rooted stock everything it hasn't worked perfectly like it did on KitKat since Lollipop.

Slow loading times on Android 6.0

Hey guys, I had posted a while back saying that for some reason, after flashing the new build of Marshmallow to my Nexus 6, the load times for web pages and just about everything else seems to be a bit slower than usual. I had said at the end of the post that it was fixed, but now the problem is arising again. Is anyone noticing long load times with all apps that use internet? Web pages load slower, the Facebook app takes much longer to load pictures and posts, Skype took longer to login and show everyone's profile pics etc. Never had this problem before on lollipop!
EDIT: Also, when I switch between my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi bands, it shows a push notification that says that this WiFi signal has no internet access, and then it connects just fine after a few more seconds. This is odd. Maybe just a buggy first run of Marshmallow?

It's not loading really at all, but that's also due to my LTE coverage being awful in my area, that's always been bad haha so no change there. My other devices in the house are working just fine on my network, the Nexus 6 however seems to load slower, and it's only now that I'm on Android 6.0! Is it working fine for you?
EDIT: Just an update here, hours later, it may be my internet connection, possibly. But I'm not 100% sure on that either. If nobody else is having this issue, it may just be. Like I said though, it seems to be working fine with my other devices!
EDIT 2: http://imgur.com/gallery/TGiCU55 This is a speed test I did on my phone, I have 30Mbps internet and that shows!
I'm having same issue. Dirty flash. Kinda wondering if a clean factory reset is in order.
no issues here....came from a clean flash, which is standard protocol.
M seems fast so far, but I did change my animations Scale from 1.00 to .50! The only website to load very slow is XDA... go figure!

Yup. I did same. I might try the lollipop radio. Idk...
XDA is always sloooooow, even on a fast PC.
I've seen several other people mention slow net speeds on M as well but I've not noticed it yet. The WiFi code of M caused issues awhile back on some previous builds of HellsCore kernel too. I dont know the specifics of it though.

So there was a definite change in the radio for this build then. More than a subtle change. I wonder if it's just not perfect, I realize having a Nexus means getting the first run of all Android software, but I wonder if this is a bug in the build, or a radio that could use some work. But it does sometimes take longer to load things! I'm on very fast WiFi too!

I honestly don't know and would like to hear more specifics. I can tell you I've seen comments on this board the last couple fo days talking about massive WiFi battery drain as well.
I only know HellsCore adopted the newer M code for WiFi in his kernel and people were affected. He then had to create two builds of the kernel. One with newer WiFi code that didn't cause any issues for people and another build with the older WiFi code from L. Have you checked his G+ site?

No I haven't! I'll check that out! So that leads me to believe that it was a change in the new radio! He had to change it to code used in L radio so that may be it! Thanks for the info! I'll look into that some more!
Is it possible to flash the lollipop radio to test? I'd think you could. But I'm not 100%.

Yes, radio is independent of rom...

So you're saying if I flash the radio file from a 5.1.1 stock image, marshmallow will boot and work correctly? I might try that!

Hey guys! An update here, I just read through another post that was about this same issue, and someone in there said that downloading DNset from the play store fixes this issue! It changes your WiFi settings from ipv4/ipv6 to just ipv4. I did it and it's working so far, but I'm going to give it some more testing and see if it fixed! Try it out

Were you able to solve your slow page load issue?
I having same issue coming out of the box with a new N6P.
On TMO & Wifi - my old OPO had no issues.
But seems at least on LTE about town, my pages for social media & browsers are sloooooow.

Hey dude, well honestly it didn't seem to fix it. Placebo effect lol What I think it comes down to is just Marshmallow being rough around the edges at this point because I have stock rooted Marshmallow 6.0 on my Nexus 6 and have cyanogenmod 12.1 installed as a secondary ROM, When booted into cyanogenmod, pages load much faster and it's more responsive as far as I can tell! So, it must be a bug with Marshmallow! Keep in mind cyanogenmod 12.1 uses Android 5.1.1 as a base!

Im getting a fair bit of phoning home to China, EU/UK rom

So ok first off, i really do love this phone. I got it for the camera and for content creation and its great for it...
I had a Redmi note 4 before, and for a couple of years Ive been using a firewall since reading about a lot of chinese phones sending large amounts of data to china.
Now yes my old phone did phone home A LOT. So thats why i installed noroot firewall to keep an eye on things.
And literally every service phoned home. Many services that have no right connecting to the internet.
Now come 10t, i read that because this is an offical EU phone with EU rom and not a grey import, it should be following all the EU rules on data collection... So basically turn everything off it shouldnt contact home.
Trouble is..... even though I have turned most of the things off (outside updating service) many of the apps still phone home... Analytics, MSA DOWNLOADs, file explorer, mi remote, compass, clock security.... and other framework services. All phoning home to servers in china.
Ive not really done a deep dive into exactly what service is sending what data. But Why would downloads connect to a chinese IP every time i download something off the app store.... Or open Chrome?
Well using firewall now to keep things locked down.
Has anyone else seen this kind of activity on EU phones? Is anyone making a clean rom that remove this kind of sus activity?
That's what you have to deal with if you want to use MIUI.
Why not root the phone and flash Lineage?

Yes everything is working except DT2W.
There is minor bugs that will be fixed.
It's very stable.

Some 5ghz wifi bands aren't working
Auto rotate doesn't work
Bluetooth connection to audio devices fails after a call
Screen doesn't wake up when someone calls in like 90% of calls
Lineage Recovery bootloops
And yes dt2w doesn't work. Those are not minor bugs...

Don't know about 5ghz, I haven't have any issues with 5ghz. It's fixed in the latest version? At least it says so in the notes.
Auto rotation works fine for me. Have't noticed the issue with screen not waking up during incoming calls but I rarely receive or make calls.
I only used my bluetooth in ear for listening to music, not for calls but I se someone wrote it can be fixed by lowering volume a bit.
Lineage recovery bootloops if you flash it to recovery but if you fastboot boot the img it will boot fine every time.

That's all workarounds, that's why I say these are not minor bugs. I had all of those problems. I had 5ghz problem because my wifi router was set to a channel lineage couldn't read. Lowering volume, and turning bluetooth on/off couldn't fix it for me, only restart worked. Auto rotation and blank screen during calls were also my problems. Well to end offtopic, I'll wait for stable pe or similar rom before switching from global rom. I have pihole set up as blocking firewall at home so it helps a ton with phoning home...
ive also tried using noroot firewall, which worked fine on my old phone. but no matter the battery saver settings, it keeps getting shut down by the phone... So thats not secure.

Did you try to turn off MIUI OPTIMIZATION in Developer option?
Developer options? I can't find that...
Ahh found them... Had to enable them first... Been a while forgot about that.
