I use an unlocked Sprint phone in India, with the following specs after the update (via the link from HTC).
Operator: Reliance Communications in India
Android Version: 4.3
HTC Sense Version: 5.0
Software Version: 4.13.651.3 CLS310297
HTC SDK API Level: 5.45
Kernel Version: 3.4.10-g3d7f5f9 / [email protected] #1
Baseband Version: 1.13.11.1105
Unlocked / S-ON / Unrooted (root gone after update)
After almost 20 days of usage post 4.3 update, I discovered the following issues. Are they confirmed issues or related only to me? I tried searching various threads for solutions but could not find ones pertaining to few issues listed below.
1) Weak signal strength - I live in the same house, but now not only are the signal bars almost nil (which I gather indicates data signal), I get call drops due to loss of signals and most times people complain of my phone being unreachable.
2) Mobile Hotspot - My mobile hotspot sharing keeps switching off. First I thought it must be due to poor signal strength, but I have checked in different places including places where there is full signal strength. But it just doesn't seem to stay on. And most times, the moment Hotspot gets connected, the data signal goes off, switching off the hotspot.
3) Heats up - My phone heats up tremendously every time mobile data is activated instead of wifi. It happens while trying to switch on mobile hotspot, playing music or videos too. It becomes too hot to hold.
4) Personalise default ringtone - Both ringtone and notifications reverts to default tones - 'Sense' and 'Teal', within half hour of changing to other tones. I have tried with built in tones and downloaded tones, and even with other apps such as ringtone makers to change the default tone to something else, but they just revert to the Sense and Teal.
5) Beats Audio - The Beats Audio keeps coming and going while playing music. Earlier I never encountered that problem, but now its consistent. Sometimes I have to switch it off and on manually to make it come back; other times an incoming message ringtone activates it while listening to music.
6) Poor battery life - Earlier I used to charge my fully charged phone only by evening after extensive usage during the day. Now by lunch time, I need to put it for charge again.
7) Root gone - After the update the root is gone and so has custom recovery (TWRP). I have unlocked the phone again, but unable to reload TWRP with Goo Manager or other methods. How to get root back?
8) Task killer - I miss the simple X next to each app to kill the app. Currently I use Clean Master, but it actually does not clean. I kill the apps, but they seem to be still running. How best can I kill those apps?
9) Contact Images - The images synchronised with Facebook are highly pixelated. Only when I open the contact, the images becomes clear. But after a day or so, they go back to being pixelated, even if those contacts haven't changed their profile pics on Facebook.
I am yet to explore fully to discover if there are other issues with this update such as roaming data etc.
Please help with solutions.
For signal, try toggling from CDMA/LTE to CDMA only and see if that helps. For root, you must first install a special TWRP recovery, the goo version will not work. Use the one in Captain_Throwback's thread. Install via fastboot.
Captain's thread is here:

Your firmware is messed up, your battery and antenna algorithm is screwed for some reason, maybe bad root or unlocking.....etc
You have two choices:
Backup 'n' Reset or...
Backup 'n' flash a new firmware which is the real fix if it was a software program.
Don't forget to hit thanks button if this helped you.
There is also a newer RUU that was issued. This has the roaming data enabled. Install this first then follow my steps above. The download is located here:

I have been having a similar issue (more intermittent) but when I do the code I never get a menu. It just freezes up a bit and then goes on like nothing happened. (I guess I should note that I'm on 5.5, so maybe I shouldn't get involved here.)

Let me start by thanking you. I just did! I took back-up and reset the phone. Most of the problems listed above (1,2,4,6 & 9) solved. :laugh:
3) still heats up. 5) Haven't got chance to try out Beats issues (its apparently a known issue). 8) Nothing can be done about missing X in task killer.
As for point 7) on Root, where can I find only the flashable TWRP for USB fastboot? Will it work on existing RUU downloaded from original HTC link?

So.. I might be the only one experiencing this but i haven't had any data since i flashed asop newest rom... re-flashed, called vm, bought the new $199 phone, called again and they told me to wait 48 hrs..? Has anybody else experienced this dreadful b/s?
Thanks!
Did u have data before you flashed? Was your phone activated? What recovery are you using? If I recall correctly, in the ROM thread there are a few suggestions to getting it working again; such as going into emergency programming mode or something like that, as well as re-flashing the stock ROM, activating, then flashing.
Have you setup the APNs after flashing?
I use a tool called "APN backup and restore".
If the APN is already installed and not working, try switching to airplane mode and back.
If it is not installed, you will need to set it up either through you service provider or manually. (I don't know what your carrier is).

Lol well most everyone on here with the Optimus V will be on Virgin Mobile.
I had a problem like this - tried everything - reloaded old nand ... etc. A person on another board suggested installing a data switch app and turning it back on. I thought this was crazy but I did it (desperate) and it worked.
Sorry did not know that you have Optimus V. Any way most service providers have some way to send you the settings files. Some through a service request page online or an SMS no. To request the settings from.
I have seen a link on customer support of samsung the gives you manual settings for all networks around the world, I just can not find it now.

I did have data before i flashed.. called VM again and they sent me a 3G reset but that did nothing.. I'm using thnderc recovery and asop lastest rom, I will try a few things that where pointed out to me and update on my progress.. thanks for the feedback!
I'm having the same problem with my Optimus V, and looking on the interwebs it seems to be a known problem, that possibly affects all of Virgin mobile smart phones. I just end up going into settings and turning off/on the data connection. This always fixes it, until the next day or so when it happens again. Pretty frustrating. The LG forums even admit it's an issue and posted on this thread: LG forums about data issue but no actual fix as of yet.
And I'm actually still running stock on it, so it's not a custom ROM issue.
i searched this thread and could not find anyone with my problem. i flashed several times and no data and no signal bars though calls do come in and wifi is working. can anyone help me? thank you!!!

Personally, I had this issue the first time i flashed test4. No data without wifi, and voice bars were very laggy. I switched back to my stock rom for a day, and when i returned to play with it that night (reflash from .zip, not restore from backup), no more problems. The initial transition to 4g from 3g seems to take a bit longer than on the stock rom, but once it is up, everything is smooth. Not constructive, I know, but it is a data point.
ok thanks. but which is the link to test 4. i have a feeling i installed the wrong one. can u send me link if u can? thanks
Check the device thread on cm7 pre alpha links are at end. You want the one with a three which is actually the fourth one.
Here is how to get signal.
1. Goto network settings, scroll down to network type, select the cdma/edvo option.
2. Wait until green 3g. If it doesn't pop up repeate step 1
3. Once green, change setting to cdma+lte/auto and hit your screen off button. Don't touch phone for 5 minutes.
I'm not sure turning screen of makes a difference but this is how I've repeatedly done it.
I have found that if you loose 4g you can loose all data. Just repeate above. It seems to work for about 10 hours then a reboot is required.

tonyagee is correct. This worked for me when I originally had your issue.
thanks guys but this doesnt work for me. ive tried it with stock and leaked radio.
I too have CM7 and have issues with data/3g. I'm not in a 4g area so I can't speak for LTE. What I noticed is that if I'm connected to a wifi-network and move out of range. My phone has a hard time getting into 3g and vice versa. If I go from 3g to wifi. Same thing. It appears that this is a bug but I'd like to find the buglist so I can confirm. I have, however, been able to get around this issue by rebooting. A good indicator of data transfer is when the wifi icon or 3g icon is green and in the case of a 3g icon, the arrows are flashing. If they are white, you are connected, but you aren't getting any data.
Not sure if this answers your question but I would try the wififix that Imoseyon made (link is in the CM thread somewhere). I enabled 3g, then rebooted into recovery and flashed the wififix file. Once the phone rebooted, I was able to move between 3g and wifi without issue as long as 3g was enabled first.

Q: Why create a special Questions and Troubleshooting thread for a specific ROM?
A: Much of the discussion in ROM development threads is not related to development, but rather problems with flashing, installation, bugs, or other things not working. While this is understandable, it is not in accordance with XDA guidelines for development sections. A dedicated Questions and Troubleshooting thread helps avoid clutter in the development thread and gives the community more opportunities to work together to resolve issues, rather than assuming the developer is responsible for all questions.
Q: How do I move my post to the Questions and Troubleshooting thread?
A: Copy the text of your post in the development thread and paste it here. Then, edit your post in the development thread to read: post moved to Q&T thread, preferably accompanied by a link to your new post.

I've had this issue since moving to CM 10.2, originally on the unofficial nightly 20130901, just flashed the unofficial 20131014 yesterday. My phone will not make sounds after previously set to vibrate, after turning up the volume with the volume key from the home screen the indicator shows volume, but will not make a sound to verify the sound level, and my alarm is silent too. Rebooting seems to fix the sound until I silence it again, but I have to yank the battery as it freezes on a reboot initiated from the power key. I have updated my recovery to TWRP 2.6.3.
I very much appreciate the screen flickering fix on the 10/14 nightly, it is completely gone today.

There's a new official nightly you can flash now. 20131016. As for the sound thing, if you go into Settings--->Sound you can check off "Volume Adjustment Sound" and it should make a tone showing what the volume level is. I'm not sure if it's related or the same thing you're experiencing, but in the past I've had issues flashing between builds (not nightlies, but flashing from like 4.2.2 to 4.3) where the default ringtone, notifcation tone and/or alarm tone would get some issue and it would say "Unknown" if you went to check what they were set to. Setting them to a new tone fixed the issue. This usually occured when I would flash a very different build version, or when I would restore a TWRP backup. But once I set a new tone it would be fine from that point on.
I am running 10.2-20131016-NIGHTLY-fireball. Our office has two wireless routers that share the same SSID, but different channels to eliminate interference. Not unique to this build, it seems that my handset's wifi is either slow to, or just doesn't, hand off to the best router when I move about. It seems like in the past i could walk from one end of the office to the other, watch my wifi signal go down, then suddenly jump up as I near the closer router. Is this a CM issue, or is this an android issue, or is there no mechanism to adjust automatically? Thanks for any help.

I'm not qualified to answer on this issue but I'll point out that I've noticed this behavior since I've been on cm. I work in a large building with multiple access points and it doesn't hand off between routers well at all.

Maybe if you check off "Avoid poor connections" in the WiFi advanced settings it will hand off easier when the current signal gets weak. Also note that you can select the priority levels for the WiFi networks in those advanced settings. Maybe you're closer to one of them but the priority of the other one is set higher so its constantly trying to connect to that one first?

Not sure if this will help as the routers have the SSID, so there is only one wireless network entry in the wifi list.

Ahh, I've never seen where two routers have the same ssid. I just assumed that since they were technically two different connections it would list the same name twice. Well maybe the "avoid poor connections" will help? I've never had that checked either so I don't know how well it works, but it makes sense that it would drop a low signal more easily for a higher one.

You'd think that would work better but it doesn't. It keeps that signal until it's low enough to drop it then actually drops it and you're without a signal for a second or few before it connects to the stronger signal. This is the behavior I notice with mine regardless if avoid poor connections is checked or not

Just checked...apparently I already "avoid poor connections" checked. I'm wondering if there is any built-in software function that actually checks for better signals on different channels when connected to the same SSID.
I flashed the unofficial 10/15 build with no problems at all for about 5 hours. Went to sleep and now I can't send txt or make phone calls. My phone shows that I have full service so I'm thinking its a borked radio. Well my comp with adb crapped out on me this morning, so I have a laptop with windows 7 and no ADB. Flashed back to a different ROM and no luck. Still no txts can be sent out or phone calls but I can receive them. Can someone point me in the right direction to install adb on windows 7? I used google but a lot of the articles were out of date. Thanks in advance!

Check that you have RUIM/SIM selected under Settings > (Wireless & Networks) More... > Mobile networks > CDMA subscription. Barring that, restore a known working backup and check the phone. If it does not work, follow the borked radio instructions - after which if you install CM again, set that RUIM/SIM connection type on first boot and restart.

I am currently on a restored ROM that I was using prior to the CM ROM. I am currently still having the same issue, I can't send out calls and texts but I can receive text. In my previous post, I stated the PC that I had ADB installed on crapped out on me this morning. I have a laptop running Windows 7 without ADB installed. My PC is running Windows XP, as of to where my laptop is running Windows 7. So I was just looking for a guide to help me install ADB on Windows 7 and just go from there. Appreciate the quick responses, it's the only phone I have and as of right now its useless.
Speakerphone patch
@scottyb96: with reference to this post, try this sound file update (install through recovery) and see if it helps your garbled speakerphone mic. Several device definitions were missing the dual-mic feature of this phone.
Also, let me know of any regressions. I updated quite a bit more than just mic.

I do not have any data or voice connection. My phone is just a digital phone book at the moment. Early Monday morning around 2am the phone was working fine I had voice and data. Around 4am I look at my phone and there is an X above the signal bars.
So far I have tried dialer codes- the phone seems it does not recognize them, nothing happens (the view and edit modes do not come up)
soft reset, hard reset
Restoring a back up-no luck
Run the newest 4.3 RUU-no luck had data for a few seconds then gone again
Tired running ViperRUU-still no luck
I also tried to call Sprint but as usual they were no help

Try ##72786#, then select reset from the menu once it pops up. If that doesn't work, do ##3282# and hit reset. You'll need your MSL code to do this. You can call Sprint and get it or use the free MSL reader app from the Play store. You have to be on a Sense ROM to use dialer codes.
Edit: Saw where you tried the dialer codes already. You'll need a ROM with EPST support to use them. Hit up my Q&A thread for the Sense 5.5 ROM-one of the FAQ's in the second post explains how to do this.

I thought Viper 4.0 support EPST? I will try to restore my Sense 5.5 back up and try again. But when I try to use the dialer codes they don't work. I can enter the code but it seems like the dialer freezes and it doesn't take the code. I have to hit the home button to get out of the frozen dialer.

1. Turn on the airplane
2. Go into settings and into the auto setup thingy. I forget what exactly it's called in that ROM, but it's almost always right above the software updates section. After it tries for a few seconds, hit the home button.
3. Now go to apps and under "all", find "phone". Clear it's cache/data
4. Right afterwards, and with airplane still on, reboot your phone.
This probably won't fix your problem, but should reset the godonlyknowswhat so that ##SCRTN# & ##DATA# are again recognized by your phone (assuming you're on a sense-based ROM).
I had this exact same problem and that fixed it (well the dialer problems anyway). Not 100% sure why either.

2. Go into settings and into the auto setup thingy. I forget what exactly it's called in that ROM, but it's almost always right above the software updates section. After it tries for a few seconds, hit the home button.
3. Now go to apps and under "all", find "phone". Clear it's cache/data
4. Right afterwards, and with airplane still on, reboot your phone.
This probably won't fix your problem, but should reset the godonlyknowswhat so that ##SCRTN# & ##DATA# are again recognized by your phone (assuming you're on a sense-based ROM).
I had this exact same problem and that fixed it (well the dialer problems anyway). Not 100% sure why either.

Thanks, That got the dialer codes working, not all the time but few times so I can enter the codes. Now It will not do the hands free connection. 1012 is the error code coming up. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and bring it into a sprint repair store, and hopefully its something easy to fix
Well the damn Sprint repair store was closed. But I was able to finally fix my phone. I used the ##786# dialer code and did a factory reset. Thank you everyone for the help.
On reference to the sense 6 Insertcoin port, I would personally like to take a survey. Please take the time to post what issues you are having and how you upgraded to the new partition. I personally didn't have any of the listed issues except the video saving and I upgraded via ruu.

Mines shooting nuclear kittens from its head phone jack... Please fix my bug.!!
That sounds beneficial though. If it wasn't doing that we could lose everything. Whatever you do don't reflash or attempt to fix this
I was running Captain Throwback's 4.13.651.4 which I installed by flashing recovery and firmware, then the ROM. Never had any weird issues on that ROM.
When I went to this InsertCoin ROM, I flashed 3.0.6 and let it do a full wipe and flash. Then I realized I didn't download the latest one (must have been updating the links at the time) so I downloaded 3.0.7 and did an update flash. Had problems so I did a 3.0.7 full wipe and flash.
I did recover a lot of my apps + data using Titanium (no system apps), but it failed after a while with issue #3 below.
The issues I'm seeing are/have been:
1) Repeated activation prompt every boot (remedied by updating profile)
2) No sound with videos shot from the stock camera app (most of the time)
3) Apps not installing sometimes with error "cannot install on usb or sd" - fixed each time by unmounting sd card and installing app, then remounting. Doesn't happen on every app.
4) Google Now/Search not listening for voice
5) No automatic switching from Wi-Fi to cell data (option was turned off?!), but works now. Still sometimes doesn't like it if I turn on airplane mode and then try to re-enable Wi-Fi, end up having to restart phone to get Wi-Fi to work.
6) Default Mail app crashes when viewing some/many emails (Exchange and Yahoo). Using MailWise for now but I like the stock app better.
Extreme power saving mode works too well. My charger is feeling betrayed, unloved and unwanted.
I have "scanning always available" checked but I still have been losing WiFi connectivity at least a couple times a day, requiring a reboot each time. Usually it's when I leave an area and come to another (such as leaving work and coming home) but once it lost connection while at work and I hadn't gone anywhere.

I noticed that occasionally. But I never had to reboot, all I had to do was toggle Wi-Fi, and occasionally had to toggle mobile data after leaving Wi-Fi
Upgraded to the new partitions using the 4.13.651.1 RUU, followed that with subsequent releases up to .4. Since then I ran Captain_Throwback's 4.13.651.3 and .4 ROMs. And prior to flashing InsertCoin I was on the Novitious 4.3 / Sense5.5 ROM all using TRWP 2.7.0.1b (iirc)
Prior to flashing InsertCoin, I updated the Recovery to TWRP 2.8.0.0 and did a full wipe and flash. This was done 4 nights ago and the name f the downloaded file is "InsertCoin_Sense6_JWL-3.0.7.zip" but the software version shown on my phone is 3.0.6?
The abnormalities I am seeing are as follows:
Activation prompt started on the second reboot and ended on the 4th after I did a profile update.
Cannot save video files to internal storage or external SD (64GB FAT32)
Google Now, Search or Voice to Text input is not working. The prompt to speak never come up and in text messages the long press command simply does nothing.
WiFi will occasionally drop and cannot be re-enabled without a reboot. Toggling WiFi results in an extended period of time of it trying to turn on, but results in a failed attempt. Toggling Airplane Mode and/or Data has not seemed to help.
Have noticed that Airplane mode sometimes takes a long time to turn on, sometimes about or just over one minute.
Default mail app was crashing with some emails during the first day to day and a half, but I have not had any problems with it since, but that might just be the emails I have opened.
After each reboot I receive the error that com.android,phone has stopped responding, this happens about four times within the first couple minutes after each reboot.
The Weather Clock widget does not automatically change it's format when the phone is turned to landscape. Pressing the Home button does correct it. The widget does reformat without user input when going from Landscape to Portrait mode.
In-call volume seems low compared to normal.
And it should also be noted that I am using the Liberty Kernel.

Liberty kernel I believe breaks sd card in call audio is low but we are working on that.
Meaning just with the video camera use? I know in the kernel thread many have reported problems mounting SD Cards with the Liberty Kernel, but since I am using a different format I have no problems mounting the card, nor reading/writing to it. I can also take pictures and they are saved to the external SD (just conformed) with no issues, the only exception that I have found so for, is saving video files from the cam.
I brought this up in the official thread but figured it might warrant a mention here too. The tweak that is supposed to allow you too launch specific programs by either swiping to the left or right from the lockscreen doesn't work.
It only does the default behavior regardless of what options you pick in the settings menu.

I believe this is kernel related. But the issue is noted and will hopefully be looked into.

That's odd. Doesn't sound like a kernel feature to me (but what do I know? -- answer, "not much" when it comes to kernels) Could somebody else (who's running the "default" kernel) attempt to set an application to launch by left/right swiping in the lockscreen?
Feature can be found in Settings -> InsertCoin Kontrol -> Various ("Lockscreen left unlock action" - select an app, and "Lockscreen right unlock action" - select an app) and see if this works for you with the provided kernel? Just curious if it's actually working if you keep everything as is instead of flashing the liberty kernel like I did.

I've tried it with the default/stock kernel and changing those values has no effect, even after restarting.
No problems running this rom (and using liberty kernel)
I wanted to thank the ROM developers. I am having NO issues running this rom, with liberty kernel, and a bunch of xposed modules. My phone feels more repsonsive then before when i was running Viper 3.1.7 using bulletproof kernel. First couple of restarts i had the activation issue pop up, but got that resolved. Only had 2 complaints, i don't like using pinch to zoom in the camera(would love an option to always show the zoom bar), and wifi tethering was not working. I got the wifi tethering to work by using WiFi Tether Router(also needed this app for tethering on Sense 5.5) Thank you developers for bringing new life into my old phone.
