I've found a possible GPS temp fix. Normally, if location is set to high accuracy or GPS only, nav apps reboot the phone. I changed the mode to battery saver, which isn't supposed to use GPS. I started up Maps and it pin pointed my current location exactly, like GPS is on when it isn't supposed to be.

I then switched back to the other modes and the phone started rebooting again. Any other time any phone that I've had that tried to find my home location just using tower triangulation (battery saver mode) has obviously been miles off, so the GPS has to be on in this case even when it shouldn't be, only the phone is only stable in that mode.

Use gpstest to confirm it is actually using device gps. Make sure wifi is off and you are not connected to any routers.
Google uses wifi APs to determine location, thats why it will scan for APs when wifi is off.
 
Soo... I got my device to read the battery properly but it didnt survive a reboot. However it was pretty damn accurate for the time.
Here is the exact method I used.
1)Developer Settings: Check advanced reboot.
2)Reboot to recovery.
3)Power off from recovery (Weird, I know)
4)Charge battery with phone powered off until full. It will update when it reaches 100%
5)Boot. (Power on)
6)???
7)Profit

It did NOT survive a reboot but I confirmed the percentage was accurate by letting it get to 70% and pulling battery. Rebooted with exact percent it was powered off with.


I have also discovered that video recording with back camera doesn't work? Known issue, disregard.

Front and back video use nv12 an unsupported format same as Stylo. I have a patch I'll run a build when I get home.

GPS test showed GPS off, but I can't understand how Maps pinpointed me with no WiFi on or nearby (very rural area). Anyway, I cleared and updated AGPS and switched on high accuracy mode again. Now Maps does not crash anymore. I'll test it further when I actually leave the house tomorrow.

Edit: The fix with AGPS didn't survive reboot, and I couldn't get it to work again. The Privacy Guard fix still works fine

I tested it lightly and it seems that if an apps calls for gps permissions too soon after launching, it will soft reboot. It could possibly be an issue with privacy guard. I set privacy guard to always ask for gps for offending apps and I have yet to receive a reboot.
 
I've been reading though the thread but haven't seen anyone with this issue.
After flashing this i went back to my backup of the stock ROM but now my Wi-Fi won't come on.
I wiped everything except the internal memory. I even tried a factory reset.
Any ideas why this would happen?
TIA for any help.

Nope. Its just broken and half works when it feels like. Its broken because CM.
This is very early development, so be aware these issues are very common. It'll be fixed later

Ive never had this issue on any other device with cm,so im not sure where that statement is coming from.do you have a source?

"Because CM..." is an old term used to generalize the fact that CM always has problems, especially in early development. Sometimes they never get fixed and other times CM development dies altogether for that particular device.
Let's hope it doesn't happen here. It hasn't happened too often lately, but I do still see it on occasion. Sometimes the task becomes too much for the lead developer to fix things, people become needy and picky and demand progress and the team just gives up.
Because CM...
 
Agreed.i hope i didnt come off that way,i am very grateful for the time and effort everyone has been putting into this device,so my apologies if thats how it seemed.on another note,i agree that we should all just be as patient as possible.i know its hard sometimes but our developers for are device are human too.sometimes i even have trouble remembering that they have lives and arent robots that crank out builds.lol,but thanks to all you guys again.and if theres anything i can do to be of assistance,please let me know.

Absolutely not. In fact after posting I almost considered the thought that you were being ignorant. I take questions very literal most times and will explain in as much detail as I can, more often than not in too much detail. Sometimes i even spawn fights against myself. You should see the flak I get on my tutorial videos on YT.
It happens bro
 
I've still got Location Service on battery saver mode and WiFi is disabled. I'm in town now and Maps has my location pinpointed exactly.

Again, use gpstest to confirm it is indeed the device GPS receiving a lock. Also note the first lock time.

I understand that GPS test is supposed to report that GPS is on. And I understand that location services can use towers and WiFi in the absence of GPS to give approximate location. That doesn't explain why Maps tracked me perfectly all the way home, in battery saver mode, past farmland with no WiFi anywhere. Location services from just towers can't be that accurate. The last time i got location based on battery mode it put me over 3 miles away.

The only explanation is that GPS is on, in a location mode that shouldn't activate it, and it is not reporting as active to GPS test.

Also, Google Now voice commands always causes a reboot.
