Cyanogenmod 10.1 - Signal always changing (3G/GSM/LTE) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The top-right icon always changing like 5 times a minute.
Is there a way to fix this? Or is this intended? (Like is this how the original Touchwiz behaves just hides this information?)

Correction:
If I leave it on default, I have no data connection whatsoever.
- If I set "Only 2G", I have EDGE.
- If I select "LTE / WCDMA" by hand, I have 3G/DC (changing fast between the two)
- If I select a provider (there are THREE with the same name) by hand, I can get 3G/DC.
- If I switch around the "what is enabled", nothing changes.
This really sucks.
Is there a way to fix this behaviour? (I'm running CM10.1 - latest stable for S3 LTE i9035
I want the phone to switch automatically like it did with Touchjizz.

Thanks I used the report button, and wrote a topic on Cyanogenmod's forums as well. As it is *well* related to CM.
I'll report back so people will find a solution here or at least see what's up.
If no answer will arrive, I'll try to unroot my phone and go back to 4.3.
Fingers crossed.

What version of CHT are you using??
That problem seems to not exist in 1.8.5.1
Q: My quick links (or any other home elements) are disappearing.
A: The appointment and task lists are made to hide anything that's behind them (for easy reading). If you have one of them too close to another home item it will disappear. Move them a bit further apart and everything will be OK.

Good catch , forgot all about that ....
I thought he might be referring to quicklinks not sticking, had that with one of the older versions of CHT, they would just seem to slide off the screen, and have slide to get them to come back ...
Ah yes...i remember those...i think that was a feature put in by co0kie so you could have a cleaner wallpaper i believe...
thanks guys, you would think after all this time id bother reading stuff :/

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10 Developer tools?

I have been lurking on this site for a while. Let me say thank you to all the developers here, its incredible that you would take time out of your life to help other people with our miniscule problems that we bring upon ourselves.
Anyway I recently upgraded from cyanogenmod 9 to cyanogenmod 10 on my Samsung infuse 4g. In the 9th version, there was a section in the system menu for developer tools. In it was a bunch of options but the one i am concerned with is the cursor. Actually i cant recall what it is called but when enabled, it shows a little circle wherever the screen is being touched. I love that feature and i figured it would still be in the 10th version but i cannot find it. I dont know what to search for to find information so i had to create this account and ask.
Okay i was playing with the settings and i found this.
Settings - Lock Screen - Slider shortcuts - drag the dot to a new location - activities - Dev tools - Pointer Location
but when i lock the screen and then unlock it and slide the dot to the icon, it just brings up a kind of app. the one in CM9 was global and it was different, it didnt track the touch, just showed it...
found it (?)
okay i found how to enable it but its hidden like a *****
Had to set Dev tools to the slider icon, then save, lock the screen, unlock it, slide to the dev tools icon, and the developer options is THERE. WHO PUT IT THERE?! How were we supposed to get to it? The dev tools contain many useful features. I use the long press back key kill app feature, and some people might use the max background processes to free up memory. You can change transition animation timing, and lots of other things. IDK why they hid it away on CM10 unlike CM9.
Anyway thats where the dev tools are. Question answered, maybe it will help someone else.

Go to settings - About Phone - And press on the "build number" for 7 times.
You will get a message saying "You're now a developer" or something.
And the Developer Options menu should be available in settings.

[Q] Long press the home button....

When I long press the home button a semi circle comes up and Google is at the top, no other icons. Can I add different apps to this? I think I've been through every menu, I just got the phone yesterday and I am still working on it.
Thanks!

Short answer: not without modifying the firmware. There might be a custom firmware (or "xposed" module) that has this as a feature. (However, I'm not personally aware of anything on the HTC One M8 that does it.)
For future reference, single questions with shorter answers should be posted in the device's Q&A section, not the general section. (If it's an open question involving a lot of conversation, it might be okay in 'general.')
Take care

[Q]killing apps with back-button. Need to change the Timeout

HI,
I use the latest (nightly) PAC-ROM for my i9100. Android Version 4.4.4
After unlocking the developer options I activated the option to kill applications then long-pressing the soft-back-button.
But the timeout is to high. I have to press the back button for approx 2 seconds!
On my last ROM this was like 500ms and the workflow was much better with it, as I make multible fast clicks and have to close apps really fast some times.
Can anyone show me a way how I can change this timeout ?
I know there are apps that can do that, but then possible I just want to change a value to keep my ROM slim. Also I have already an Xposed module, that gives me the torch on long pressing home and I dont know how app doing same stuff interfere together. Dont want to risk unnecessary wake-locks and so on.
Is there a way to simply change a value to manage this? Does anyone know a good Tweaking Tool, where I can costumize this hidden/expert settings ? (the tweak tool should let every settings untouched, unless I change it in that app)
Thx for any help.

I think you should post this on the PAC thread... But just to answer you:
Try going in Settings > Accesibility > Touch and Hold Delay...
I don't know if that feature is in your current ROM, since I'm on Slim... But better check it out...
And next time, post questions on Q&A Section please. Follow the rules and stuff... :good:

I tried changing htat, but it has no effect on long-press-time then killing apps.
Isnt there a way to simply change an value like itz possible in regedit/windows ?
I deactivated the boot-animation of the PAC-ROM the same they, just edited a textfile.
If someone knows there this value is, that would be great.

ps: I already posted a request on PAC-forum, but they are not active there so much

General questions

Hello fellow Xiaomi users,
I got my Redmi 5 Plus a few days ago, updated it only via the system update (no custom twerks yet).
Currently I have the stock Android 7.1.2 N2G47H and the stock MIUI 9.6.2.0 NEGMIFD.
I have a couple of questions about the phone and I would really appreciate your help:
1) Will this phone get an official Oreo update? I've read that there should be one, but couldn't find any official date mentioned.
2) Stock launcher - I noticed that I couldn't remove app icons from the stock launcher. Is there a way to do that, and customize it all together?
3) Nova launcher - Since I couldn't remove unneeded app icons from the stock launcher, I installed Nova. An issue I find with it though, is that I no longer get skype notification sound - only vibration. Also sometimes messenger fails to make a sound as well, but that happens fairly rare. Any idea on a fix for this? Or maybe recommend a better launcher, that works with the phone?
4)Viber - I am using dual SIMs. One personal, and one for work. I activated only my work viber, but as soon as I started using it, it transferred all my contacts in it. So now my personal and work contacts got mixed. Wouldn't be an issue, If I didn't use viber on my work PC, and I would rather my personal chats to not be there. Any suggestion on how to separate my contacts? Anyone else had this issue?
5) Alarm sound - I am not sure if this happened after I switched to Nova, but my alarm sound is really low. The phones speakers are quite good, but when it comes to the alarm its quite low. I can barely hear it and wake up
6) Freezing - Sometimes when I type in let's say messenger, the phone freezes for some reason, until I type the next letter. For example if I try to type the word "submarine", I can type "subma" but it will freeze on "subm", and when I type the next letter (r) it will spit out both of the last written letters "submar" and then continue to work normally. What can cause those freezes?
I would really love to hear your opinion on these points.
Thanks in advance guys
1) For sure, in the main miui site is indicated and if is there is a closed beta available then we can expect an official version.
2) Remove the icons from stock launcher will mean uninstall them, you can only move them to the next display and maybe group them.
3) Check if all permissions are granted for this launcher including device control and accesibility, also enable in Nova persistent notifications. I use stock launcher, I put my preferred apps in main desktop, the others just moved them to the right and using the app "My Drawer" from developer Ofir Miron, it´s the only that I found that keeps the same icon from any theme that I pick, the others look very ugly.
I´m rarely use the other points so I don´t know

Thank you for the reply, I guess I will wait for the update for now, and experiment some more with Nova.
One more thing that came to mind - any way to use the proximity sensor to stop the phone for ringing or to answer calls? I had this options on other android phones - when the phone rings, and you bring your phone close to something (like your year) it picks up. Or when you flip it face down it stops the ringing. Any of these options available?? Can't find them so far.
