Hey guys,

I just flashed Siyah Kernel onto my phone, it's running CM9 and after the new kernel I'm getting terrible reception. Battery life is heaps better. But reception sucks.

Is this normal? I've flashed the LFB modem again twice but hasn't made any difference. Anyone else experienced this?

On a i9300t if it makes any difference
[Galaxy S III General] zziggy:
You won't need to run CM or AOKP or PA. The stock rom is exceedingly good so just a custom stock rom would be your best bet. For the ultimate stock feel with lotsa nice little upgrades go for WanamLite. You already know how good Wanam is for the S2. I'm not bothering with AOSP based until there's stable jelly bean. :)

this was released about an hour ago.

I was running Omega v9 and swapped to Checkrom yoo. I find it a fair bit faster/smoother actually. I'm running Franco kernel after having a few mic issues with siyah 1.3.8a.
[Galaxy S III General] Rooster19:
Alright cheers for the info
[Galaxy S III General] krfs2094:
Please recommend an AOKP ROM.

Got mine yesterday. They delivered to my office. Everything works great.

I go home in the evening and root the phone. No-brainer.

I wanted to get the best AOKP ROM and from my browsing the BlackStar ROM looked the most promising. I downloaded the thing but it was never able to boot into the ROM and wiping the cache (incl. dalvik) didn't resolve anything. Obviously I was a little disappointed.

Can anyone recommend a quality AOKP ROM.
[Galaxy S III General] tangcla:
I'm gonna root my phone now, I think!

Should I just use the Galaxy S3 Toolkit v3.0 to root? My concern is the XXALE8 boot image, does it matter since I'm on LF2 now?
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
Just for fun - flashed CM10 (Jelly Bean) and its surprisingly smooth and stable so far. Exceptional for a 'preview' release.
[Galaxy S III General] copycutter:
Just got my jellybean on this morning - awww yeah!

Maybe not quite as quick speedtest wise as some of the other more polished roms, but works damn well for a preview. Amazingly smooth and cool UI. Comes with DXLF3 modem I believe.
[Galaxy S III General] ActionBastardDV:
hey guys

Im on Voda with T model phone. Im currently running SlimICS and experiencing some heavy battery drain and was wondering if you guys know what might be causing it

through BBS, I can see the main cause is "multipdp", followed by "secril_fd-interface", then "l2_hsic"

there's a few others but they're the main kernal wakelocks

also have some partial wakelocks but I think I can sort that out.

also, was wondering if anyone here knew whether Voda Aus supports fast dormancy. From what I've read, it might be better for me to switch fast dormancy off if Voda doesn't support it

and finally, does anyone know how to switch hsdpa off? apparently theres no point in having it while on Voda, so wanted to switch it off and see if it improves anything

cheers guys

So do you think the jb preview is good enough for a daily build?
[Galaxy S III General] ultramag69:
JB preview is a work in progress, its not functional enough for a daily build. Too many little problems still need fixing. Last I looked there was no audio. Bit of a deal breaker considering most people want to use their phone for calls...
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
I believe so, yes. Try it and see :P
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
No audio? Have you tested? My guess is no. Audio works fine. Some are experiencing problems with in calls - exactly the same problem with the latest Samsung ROMs (only compatible with certain modems), however they state the first call the other person can't hear them, then after that its fine... again, this is an issue with the latest Samsung ROMs/modems not CM10 itself. All either audio works fine. Test it yourself this is easily usable as a daily ROM for many ,though depending on how you use your phone your opinion may vary.
[Galaxy S III General] zziggy:
I gave Jelly Bean a go today (already have it on SGS1)

Man it's so smooth. Google Now is frigging amazing. Seemed pretty stable. Everything worked. My phones too important to my business to risk it yet so just restored BLG1 but WOW!! Can't wait.
[Galaxy S III General] Fish grease:
Thinking of flashing now. Did you do full wipe before install?
[Galaxy S III General] zziggy:
I did

nandroid backup

factory wipe

cm9 install

cm10 install

jb gapps

played around

Then later full wipe again

Wanam 1.7

then restored backup. Nothing lost.

---------- Post added at 06:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 AM ----------

I don't think there's an official AOKP. Just an unofficial milestone 6 by Faryaab. Blackstar isn't aokp it's Samsung but themed (i think you knew that)
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
adding on from above - yes factory reset is necessary though flashing CM9 before is NOT. And as aforementioned make a nandroid backup first before wiping ;)
[Galaxy S III General] gger123:
Got my phone replaced from vodafone,

on my previous phone, I could play all videos on MX Video Player seamlessly,

now i get occasional lag on my videos,

thoughts on what could be the cause of this?

any ideas on how to fix?

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General] Fish grease:
Really nice. I am really impressed. Had the gallery/camera issue, disabled one and now fine. Had the call issue also with no mic, called my phone once and now fine.

The only thing is I keep getting a message, android.process.acore has stopped?

Any ideas, I can't find it in cm 10 threads anywhere.

Love jb though.:D
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
Not sure about that...try fix permissions and clear cache/dalvik in cwm...if that doesn't fix it only thing I can think of is factory reset (which im sure you don't want to do!)
[Galaxy S III General] Fish grease:
OK after all that I have done a factory reset and all seems good now. Not sure what that was. This is a really nice ROM.
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
For a preview/first release its awesome. Can't wait to see how much better it can get
[Galaxy S III General] uf21:
I see people talking about aokp and aosp.

Isnt aokp and aosp a custom rom like checkrom and omega?
[Galaxy S III General] copycutter:
Pretty sure aosp just refers to the android open source project in general. All android code etc

Aokp is a custom ROM though.
[Galaxy S III General] nikorette:
Aokp is android open kang project. It's basically asop with mods and tweaks kang'd (cherry picked) then compiled into a rom
[Galaxy S III General] zziggy:
Yeah going along with what others have said. The AOSP based projects belong in the "original Development" section. Because they are compiling the rom from google source code (AOSP) with some modified source code (additions, kangs) These are your CyanogenMod, AOKP, Slim ICS, ParanoidAndroid, CodeNameAndroid roms

A custom rom is normally based on a manufacturers rom with some tweaks but nothing compiled from source code.
[Galaxy S III General] Fish grease:
Well so far so good Cm 10 is still working well on my phone. Bluetooth is the only app so far I have found not functioning. Will keep you updated. :thumbup:

I just flashed Omega 9.0 (since it uses LF3, so I could flash T modem) on my vodafone GS3.

My GS3 was on TDULF2 updated from kies and it made about 1000kbps download. not much difference from TDULE6.

But this LF3 modem is making 2000kbps! I was going to flash T modem after I install Omega, but i dont think i need to..

So yeah.. my point is LF3 modem works better than TDULF2 modem for me.

I live in Sydney metro area.
[Galaxy S III General] copycutter:
Out of interest guys, if I ever wanted to go back to stock firmware, is the easiest way to do this simply download your carrier specific one from SamMobile.com?

I have noticed there are a few Telstra specific ones up there, so if this is the case it's good to know this is always there if you need it.

Also, if I were to flash this on, I assume this "un-roots" the device (without changing root count obviously)?
[Galaxy S III General] tangcla:
What's the dialer combo to get to the screen to change 3G frequencies? Going to try to disable 900MHz to see if I get less congestion (on Telstra with an Optus phone).
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
It's always better to have a backup of your Stock firmware in your PC in case you have send it back for warranty. I9300TDUALE6 is the original Telstra & Vodafone firmware that the T model phones came with. I9300TDUALF2 was released a week ago I guess. Yes I think if you flash the whole firmware through Odin it resets your flash count (Some one else confirm this please don't really remember).

*#197328640# (Service Mode)

then DEBUG SCREEN -> PHONE CONTROL -> NETWORK CONTROL -> BAND SELECTION

*#0011# (to Check the status of your network)
[Galaxy S III General] tangcla:
Thanks, does the service mode number mean anything? So that maybe it can be remembered instead of a 'random sequence of numbers'
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Don't think it stands for anything since they are supposed to be secrets for advanced users such as mobile repair techs . Think about 15yr old girl got hold of these numbers ;) .So normal users not suppose to remember/know those secret codes.

Now I want to try Checkrom HD. Since it is based on LFB and I heard that LFB have a few new stuff in it.

Does LFB firmware works with T modem? I think I saw someone said LFB works with only LFB modem.
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
What you heard is right . T model modems won't work on LFB firmware (In-call voice problem)
[Galaxy S III General] tangcla:
Normally though, can I flash a T modem on a non-T device (i.e. with Omega) ?

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

Hmm, after rooting I haven't got any sound when I make calls. Looks like I'll need to try to flash a modem...
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Read the post above yours and last few pages or use the search on thread function
[Galaxy S III General] tangcla:
No, I meant apart from LFB.
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
If you using latest firmware such as LFB, BLG1 it's incompatible. Yes you can use with older firmware but I don't see the point doing that... why don't you try to flash the whole Telstra stock firmware.

If you read few pages back you will see the comments regarding this
[Galaxy S III General] reservin:
TDULF2 modem is not compatible with omega 9.0 BLG1 by no voice in call. So if you want to use omega rom, better use modem that comes with the rom..
[Galaxy S III General] rlorange:
Does anyone have the vodafone Australia CSC?
[Galaxy S III General] s3ct0r:
By using Omega's modem, do you lose NextG 850mhz?

Just curious since I'm switching to the S3, and my previous galaxy (S1) had specific modems for different bands.

Personally CM10 looks amazing, but is the TDULF2 modem compatible or do you require a CM specific version of that modem (again, what I had to do with the S1)

Thanks heaps:)
[Galaxy S III General] Amrut223:
Just got an XXLF2 update from Optus. Has made a few small improvements. However the "Cell Standby" bug is still present.
[Galaxy S III General] KMino:
The universal fix for that posted in the cell standby thread, works great on any ROM. Needs CWM to flash, no root needed.

DXLF3 baseband works great here on LFB. Check the modem thread people and just pick one that is compatible, them go into secret settings and tune it like a Telstra release ;) IMHO that's all Telstra does.
[Galaxy S III General] =Oberon=:
Cell Standby bug? I dont appear to have such a problem.

How common is this?
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
No you wont. All S3's are quadband therefore all modems support the 850mhz band.

As opposed to the T model S2 I owned which required a T modem, I have found the T model can use any i9300 modem.
[Galaxy S III General] reservin:
I'm using 9300T GS3 with non T modem and it seems working fine. I heard that T modem is just try harder to find 850 than other modems. Therefore I think I can still connects to 850 but maybe less time than T modem?

That's all I know and maybe incorrect!

BTW I'm with Vodafone and obvIously this LF3 modem that came with omega9.0 gets H+. Is H+ means 850mhz? Or H+ can be works with 2100mhz?
[Galaxy S III General] reservin:
And also T modem is not compatible with some firmware such as LFB or BLG1 as I know, but I didn't try CM10 yet, so I'm not sure if T modem works with CM10 or not.:)
[Galaxy S III General] s3ct0r:
Thanks for all the information :) Gives me something to look forward to when my phone arrives :)

Just hope the custom roms play nice with the modems since I'm with Telstra at the moment.

The only times I've seen H+ is with Telstras 4G (s2 4g) and back home (usa) on the faux LTE networks.

Just cant wait to experiment with this phone :), really hoping for a better screen on time than the OneX (roughly 3ish hours)
[Galaxy S III General] Pitzbull:
This is brilliant here on vodi. Did the fix as usual and it is flying. Highly recommended. Great find dude.:)
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
Even the older non-T modems don't work on those firmwares.
[Galaxy S III General] Simmo3D:
Does that code basically do the band selection that you can do via *#*#4636#*#* ?
[Galaxy S III General] rlorange:
Could you let me know how you tune for telstra I know the menu just not the various parameters
[Galaxy S III General] cheetah2k:
I doubt it. LFB baseband is the only one that works with LFB :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] rlorange:
Incorrect XDLF3 works and any posted after late june
[Galaxy S III General] cheetah2k:
Seriously? I've had no dice trying LF3 baseband on mine. Simply won't boot
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Network Types:

===========

2G -> GPRS

E -> EDGE

3G -> UMTS

H -> HSDPA or HSPA

H+ -> HSDPA Plus

4G(LTE)

Network Bands:

============

850Mhz (Telstra 3G, Vodafone 3G)

900Mhz (Optus 3G, Vodafone 3G, Telstra 2G, Optus 2G, Vodafone 2G)

1800Mhz (Telstra 4G, Telstra 2G, Optus 2G, Vodafone 2G)

1900Mhz

2100Mhz (Telstra 3G, Optus 3G, Vodafone 3G)

Next G is just a marketing term used by Telstra for 850Mhz frequency ;)

So don't get confused between those two.. Optus also has HSDPA Plus (H+) enabled in some towers but they don't use the 850 band . Right now I'm at home connected to 850 Vodafone 3G network but it isn't H+ . 850Mhz has wider range compares to 900 & 2100 bands. That's why my old Galaxy S(I9000) which doesn't support 850 can't get a 3G signal with Vodafone or with Optus while my S3 gets 3-4 bars of 3G signal ;) ..
[Galaxy S III General] Simmo3D:
Can you post a link to the DXLF3 baseband please.

I cant find it anywhere.

I want to try flashing this radio over BLFB stock ROM to see if it works and if its more stable.

So 850Mhz is not equal to H+ right? When my phone shows H+ doesnt mean that I am connected to 850Mhz?

[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
Guys I would recommend people stop stuffing around with band selection and all that stuff.

The reason the phone is selecting 2100 is because that is the strongest signal available for your current location. When you have a strong 850 signal it will use it. The phone is set to auto and will constantly change depending on where you are.

All S3's are quadband and are set to auto so just let it do its thing.
