[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Forboding Angel:
Derp, I forgot to mention that the phone can read files from the card just fine. For example, from windows I copied freegs3 to it, and the rom and twrp can read the file just fine.

It's the weirdest **** ever. The thing is, basically, I want to do a clean flash, and nuke system, data, etc AND internal SD. As I can't mount the internal SD card in windows from twrp, I basically can't format the internal SD for purposes of a new and totally clean flash, which really really sucks.

I know that I can read files from the card, so theoretically, I could put freegs3 on the external sd card, wipe absolutely everything and reflash from that, but what if it fails at unpacking the file etc etc? Then with no way to get a rom for twrp to flash, I would be 100% ****ed without a rom on my phone.

Without update me working is there anyway to revert to the stock boot animation? Tia
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
which "stock" are you talking about?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Razpr:
Hey guys quick question (did a search just in case and still unanswered!):

I just installed this ROM last night after coming from Sprint's stock rom and i noticed that when i took the phone out for a spin I saw the 1x icon alot. Probably more than the 3g icon :x and i had never seen it before in the sprint's stock rom. Is this a problem or am i supposed to change something and i missed it? What exactly does it mean anyways. I still have internet (rather slow)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
It looks like Sprint has been lieing to you! This ROM has a MOD that correctly displays what connection you are on. You were only getting the 3G icon before but 1X service. The joke is the code I changed actually said "show3gees". Now you know that you aren't really on 3G 100% of the time.Sprint just doesn't have 3G everywhere. The reason why you didn't see this on stock ROM is because stock is forced to show only 3G. This ROM shows you the truth :highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Razpr:
:cyclops: Thank you very much! i kind of figured and i noticed the speeds were relatively constant as they were before. Those jerks!

I am concerned about something else and its that where i live in Puerto Rico im supposed to be getting LTE activated (we have the vision antennas already :p) from today up to a week and some of my RL friends have already been getting the PRL update and every time i press Update PRL it tells me it has been updated where as my friends only got one update and it tells them there is no more PRL update. Im kind of concerned that its broken and its always just going to say the PRL has been updated because im on a stock ROM. I apologize for the dumb questions im new to Sprint and the S3 has of one week ago and decided to try out this rom for better battery and performance!

Im also wondering if ill be getting the PRL updates the same way everyone does (they get a notification) or if ill have to be constantly checking.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Updating PRL ( Preferred Roaming List) just updates how your phone roams.

If your getting the 1x a lot you may be roaming a lot as native roaming only allows for 1x data.

But if they are currently working on towers in the area it can be expected to have some wacky service till the tower updates are complete.

Updating your Profile updates your phone to access any new Sprint towers that have been updated.

I recommend updating profile and prl once a week or maybe 2 weeks. As Sprint is constantly updating towers.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Razpr:
Again thanks! youre all so reponsive and efficient! So then its no problem if it keeps saying "THE PRL HAS BEEN UPDATED" and "The Profile has been updated" over and over again as many times as i click it? Just contrasting with my friends saying that their phones show "There are no more updates"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SF Steven:
Also, just to comment on the 4G LTE stuff - I've been on this (super-fantastic-best-ever) ROM for months now and have been lucky enough to do a smidge of travel...anyway I talk a lot before I get to the point, don't I?

I've been to Dallas, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; East Oakland and the Marina in San Francisco and my phone has switched to LTE with no problem and it works flawlessly. Mind you, it's only 12mb down/4-5mb up but compared to Sprint's typical speeds, it's like living in the future.

;)

Also, you should be sure your phone is set correctly to use LTE when it's available:

Settings>Wireless and network>More settings>Mobile networks>Network mode> select LTE/CDMA

Enjoy your 4G LTE when it goes live!*

*just a heads-up that in my experience, the LTE coverage is VERY limited; for example, if I'm in the Marina neighborhood in SF, I get 4G LTE...once I'm about 2 city blocks outside of that neighborhood, 4G LTE is gone.

PS I've never seen "There are no more updates" in the context of updating my profile or PRL; it always shows, "update is completed" or something similar. AFAIK, you could update your profile & PRL every 10 minutes for the rest of your life and not really cause any problems with your service.

Random question but has only occurred with most recent rom update

I have the Imaginary Range apps on my phone. They worked fine last version of freegs3 but now they have gfx issues.

Anyone with this rom willing to check those apps and let me know if they have the same issue ? If so I may do a fresh rom install.

Thanks for the help

Got a problem

I came from an AOKP ROM. I installed TWRP and followed all the instructions on how to flash this. Every time I try to install this ROM, it'll install just fine, but when I select reboot, it'll reboot to the Samsung screen and Galaxy S III screen, then go back to the Samsung screen with blue text at the top followed by the Galaxy Screen then to recovery. Any advice? I wiped System > Factory reset > Cache > Dalvik then went to install.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxys3man30:
sounds like you have a bad download it should take up too 45 sec to a min to install a rom with a good download. redownload and try it again buddy

Keep getting request to do OTA update

For a few weeks now, both of my GIII's have been asking to do install an update. Finally on one of them I said fine, it reboots into recovery and goes to the screen to reboot system. This stops the update popup for a few days in till it returns.

I assume we shouldn't be accepting OTA updates? How do we stop this or what should we do.

On Sprint BTW

SMS, MMS issues?

I'm looking for a ROM for my wife, she has been plagued with battery drain issues usually involving Google Maps on her stock ROM. I haven't experienced any of these issues on the custom ROMs I've used even while using the same version of Google Maps. My question is this, (I am not currently running FREEGS3 BTW): do there exist MMS or SMS issues with this ROM? I searched and I found one member asking if group SMS would ever be fixed. There was a lot of back and forth and recommendations for GoSMS but I did not find an explanation of the problem. I don't recall an issue when I was using this ROM but before I install to her phone, I just wanted to be sure there is not a bug that I am unaware of.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mech8:
when the update drops will i be able to update like a ota or will i have to wipe and reset up everything?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cache83:
weird GPS challenge..

after installing FreeGS3 rom.. i noticed that it's locking and directions / VISUAL guidance is correct.. but it kept telling me to "make a left on Sunset" and there was NO friggin' Sunset street around.. every verbal command it gave me (whether visually it was telling me to get on the 10, exit garfield, or whatever).. it was saying, verbally, "make a left on Sunset"

so i figure it coulda been the modem, flashed Galaxy-S-fre3-LJ7FirmwareModemAIO.zip .. and now the directions are still correct and all, and verbally it'll say "go straight" or "make a left" with appriopriate timing.. but it USED TO say "make a left on Ramona" or "go straight, then make a right on Peck"

...does any one have any clues how I can fix this? it's not broken, just not really 100% working either.. btw i had this in the questions section; i've searched all over the place and since i couldn't find anything i've posted here. if this was addressed somewhere else please just let me know, thank you!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] view9234:
Love your 2.0 ROM (especially love how stable it is---hats off!!!) and I am anxiously awaiting 3.0 (like everyone else!) :D

Two quick questions about your ROM that I haven't been able to find definitive answers on:

1. What wipe(s) are required before flashing your ROM from stock root? How about when updating from different versions of your own ROMs? (I've been doing cache, davlik cache & system...am I missing others?)

2. My GS3 doesn't seem to do a good job of handing off cell towers. For instance, I'll go into a restaurant 6 blocks from work and have 1 bar, when my old phone had 5/5 bars (clearly having switched towers). I've also noticed that when coming out of the subway (with no signal) it will lock on 1x data for a long time before switching to 3G (no 4G around me yet). Is this a radio issue in the GS3? (I also didn't see an option to change my 'modem' on your ROM install. Is 'modem' my phone's 'CDMA/LTE radio?' If so, which version do you recommend (and/or what are the differences)?

One quick request for version 3.0, too. PLEASE make the messaging app look like the conversation bubble icon we're used to seeing and not like the email message (for both the main icon & notification icon). It's really difficult/nearly impossible to distinguish the two!

Thanks again for everything that you to...the ROM is the best one I've used BY FAR!!!

Hey guys quick question again for those who have LTE in their area / have tried it:

Well im not sure whats to blame here if its Sprint or what but basically pre-rooting and installing this ROM sprint was still in their "testing" phase with LTE in Puerto Rico and not officially released (not all antennaes were enabled) and I was getting some 12-15 Mbits download speed. Im trying the LTE post root and in the same spot and with this ROM im getting about 5 Mbits and no higher than that :X

Sprint recently enabled a bunch of tower upgrades post the 16th in the south and south west of Puerto Rico so its not official in my area (just yet) because theyre still testing it here so i dont know if them enabling more towers lowered the LTE bandwith up here or if its the ROM (unlikely?). I keep updating PRL's and profile. They DID mention LTE was going to officially get from 5-10 Mbits and 4g Crapmax from 3-8Mbit and well right now im getting just barely that which is funny/sad so maybe once they enabled those towers the LTE speed went down to what they said? So many things here...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SF Steven:
I've had some experience in Dallas, TX (several hours over 2 days), Atlanta, GA (depending on location, about a week) and East Oakland/Marina in SF, CA (pretty often on a daily basis) and generally saw the same download speeds you do (5-10Mbps).

I've seen random spikes that knock me up to the mid-teens but not often enough for me to count on it.

My guess is that Sprint is capable of higher speeds but may be holding back to see how the network performs on a large scale before deciding how to manage things.

All things considered, I'd say the LTE is definitely better than WiMax and LIGHT-YEARS ahead of Sprint 3G.*

*to be fair, Sprint's 3G has improved significantly in the Bay Area, probably as a result of the LTE upgrades

Ok. I got it now. Thanks for clarifying. :) I am not smart enough on ROMs to be able to speak intelligently about the affect, if any, on signal strength. However, I have heard that depending on the ROM base (TW or AOSP/AOKP) the hand off between 3G and 4G is shaky...the hand off on AOSP/KP being the shakiest. Hopefully, someone can speak more on it. I caveat that with the fact that this discussion might be suggested to be moved to another thread as this kinda takes the focus off of the greatness that is "FreeGS3". I'm not a moderator, though...so I could be off base. :D
