First go disable weather and other things linked to Google on your lock screen and notification drop down get rid of Facebook use the browser and then boot to recovery reset battery stats then pull your battery and hold the power button for about ten seconds then repeat last step to dump all power off your circuit board. Reboot drain battery to about five percent and charge to 100%. I had the same issue and all the flashing and tweaking I did made my battery nuts. This should get you at least 24hrs with 4hrs screen time n "light usage". Also go to data usage and everything on that list is draining your battery.

Please wait 3 complete charge cycles for your battery life to settle. The first few charges will be significantly less the first days after an install. Be sure to check for rogue apps and background services using BetterBatteryStats.

IMEI

Has anyone lost there IMEI# while using TWRP...

I lost it a week ago with CWM plus lte but restored it using the thread. During that time I did restore 1 or 2 older backups but I was still missing the IMEI# ever since Ive switched to TWRP but im curious if TWRP will prevent this from happening again. I also think I lost my IMEI from switching versions of CWM but it could be a coincidence....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thacounty:
I'm not sure that anyone has so far, but no one has been able to conclude that the recovery is the reason. There are just less people using TWRP so less chance of IMEI loss.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mr_cowboy1:
yada yada yada, love the rom, blah blah. ok. with all that said....AND BEFORE EVERYONE JUMPS ON MY SH!T ABOUT READING AND SEARCHING.....I did. this probably should also go into the q&a, BUT, no alarm sound, will it be fixed? I can't find a definite answer, and workarounds don't work for my phone, random this app has stopped, which kernel? I'm running the rom from the OP. right out of the box brand new phone, cleared, cleaned, scrubbed, and loaded. Thanks for any constructive help. flaming and shouting will get you nowhere.

What up with the battery and constant waking?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kamandor:
The alarm app buries the volume feature, I'm not sure why. When you first open the alarm app (before selecting any of your alarms), press the Menu button, go to Settings and double-check that the Volume is set to an audible level. Also confirm that you have checked the "Alarm in silent mode" option, in case your alarm wasn't playing when in Silent mode (such as at night time or early in the morning).

Let me know how it goes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mr_cowboy1:
I tried that, no worky. my sounds are on my SD card, I don't know if that makes a difference or not, but they do play in media player. it's only the alarms that don't work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kamandor:
Battery life is dependent on user-specific settings, such as brightness, data usage, apps running, sync options and your widget settings. The rom has very little to do with your battery life overall, and the majority of users report excellent battery life with this rom (myself included).

That said, try pulling the battery, restart, fully charge, then re-calibrate your battery stats using the BatteryCalibration app (download it in the Play Store).

Also, go to Google Now and disable Weather notifications. Apparently this is a battery drain.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tazzyez:
This has been answered more than a few times but I'll help this time. Enter the volume settings and slide all volumes down then back up and they should start working. If they do now then it could be a bad flash or a wipe needed a few more times. I did not come from stock so there may be something I missed but I have to do the volume slide with every update. Good luck.

Hey man...

I have a request for all those including you that seem to know how to calibrate battery.

Can we put a thread up on how to do this in the general section and try to sticky it?

I personally have an anker 4400mah extended, but I am pretty sure I messed everything up as far as calibration right from the get go (I received it from laptop mate about 4 days ago.

I have a fairly loose understanding of how to optimize and calibrate the battery and I'm pretty sure I messed it up.

Task, sorry for cluttering your thread.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
Not just for you, but the other couple I saw in the last few pages - forget what you knew from your previous phones. You don't calibrate this battery. The phone calibrates the battery by itself. Resetting battery stats on this phone is less than useless, and no calibration app is going to do you any good. Because it calibrates over time, that is why you need at least three charge cycles to get an accurate reading out of it, and resetting or running apps against it will make that process LONGER, not shorter.

Here is two good threads to ask about IMEI.

Battery life will have very little do to with this rom. If something is keeping your phone awake get Bettery Battery Stats and read the how to. Plus you can go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 and get all the help you need.

I think neither one of these problems have anything to do with ROM development so I thought I would put these links up before Task shows up and kicks some a$$, Hope this helps.:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PMDColeslaw:
Where's the :facepalm: emoticon when you need it?

The OP has asked MULTIPLE times throughout this thread (even in recent pages) that you NOT discuss battery issues in this thread. It's a known fact for anyone who's flashed more than 3 times that battery stats are trashed until at least a couple days (at least 3 full charges and discharges) have gone by. Furthermore if the battery drain was a ROM bug, and its not, then everyone would see the same wakelock issue on their battery stats and task would fix it. Please stop drowning the thread with battery complaints!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mr_cowboy1:
I've tried all that and it isn't working. I reflashed too and it still won't turn on. all other sounds are fine, just not the alarm. I agree that this answer has been given before, but I was more asking if there was a plan to fix it or "just let it be with this workaround".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sailzfast:
I had to hit volume up to get the alarms sounds to work. Woke me up at 7 this morning...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PMDColeslaw:
Couple suggestions you may or may not have already tried.

1. Try using a system sound instead of the ones from SD card.

2. Try an alarm app from the market to see if it has the same issue.

3. I'm thinking you already did this, but goto settings>sound>volumes> and adjust the alarm volume itself.

That last one was just in case you had only adjusted the master volume.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
If your using a non system alarm sounds make sure media volume is turned up. I use zedge and have to do this.

Side note can this discussion be moved to say Q&A, cause this isn't really ROM related and is cluttering the thread.....just sayin
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1weener:
Does the phone play the sound if you try to chose different alarm tones? Can you hear them then?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cdjaney:
My best guess would that you

are on the older version of TWRP, 2.2.2.0. I had the same "error" message every time I tried to "format data" in that version. The newest version, 2.3.1.0, I think, throws up a big warning when you select "format data". Like a couple other guys said, it will actually format internal SD supposedly (haven't tried it yet). So, if you haven't already, update to newest TWRP, and wipe away!

Although, speaking from experience, don't ever dismiss the possibility of a simple reboot or downloading the ROM file again. Those have remedied problems several times for me.

There's a THANKS button around here somewhere! :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheShamsMan:
Hey guys. I'm back with the same question.

I'm still not able to get any screen recording app to work with latest build. I've used the free version of ScreenCast and Z-Video Recorder, as well as latest paid version of ScreenCast. The app will install and will gain SU access, the video will record, but this is all I see:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34960204/video_Oct_18_2012_0.mp4

It's the same for the apps I've tried. I've tried clearing data, dirty and clean flashes. Same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this? Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mr_cowboy1:
I tried a market alarm clock, same thing. tried a system sound, same thing. all volumes were slid down and up numerous times and same thing. ugh. never thought I'd have such a problem with an alarm clock. LOL. wished mine wasn't broken.

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

No. it doesn't play anything under the alarm. If I bring up the music player, it plays them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1weener:
Use the volume button to toogle down a few and then up, not the slide on the screen.

It is going to be hard for Task to support this ROM and 3rd party apps. I think if you have a problem with a specific app you should take it up with the Dev.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bkeaver:
Or start your own thread in Q&A to start these types of app discussions. They do not belong here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheShamsMan:
That's fair I guess. I was only on stock before I was on this ROM, and it worked perfectly on stock, and I know Task uses at least one screen recording app, so I wanted to double check with him and see if he is seeing the same image or not. It would help a lot to know if it's a device or ROM thing. That's all.

I'll move this elsewhere. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
You need to take it up with the developer of that app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheShamsMan:
Roger. I'll send a message to them. It's a bahaviour that I"m seeing with every screen recording app available on the market. Does ScreenCast by chance work on your device, or are you seeing the same thing as I am? If you don't mind checking? Thanks dude.

Hi task i was enjoying the hell out of my smooth a** phone today when i started thinking, do you think there is anyway you could put a custom music player in with the ROM? or is that just asking too much? I cant even imagine how hard you work to make things as good as you do but i just love music and im not really big on any of the players ive found on playstore and i dont like gplay. Maybe something like SWAGGER AUDIO, or SWAGGER TUNES, I just think it would be cool to incorporate the customness of this awesome ROM into a music player.

I'm using a Nova Launcher theme, but it doesn't seem like it does anything with the notification bar. I have my cell signal meter set to text, so if it's reading triple digits, with WiFi on, alarm set, and phone set to Vibrate then the Center Clock option puts the clock w/ AM/PM over the Vibrate and Alarm indicators that are typically on the left of the WiFi signal meter.

Today I also had a flicker issue when unlocking the phone during navigation. I believe it was in landscape mode when I locked it, and I unlocked it in portrait mode. The map was only on the top half of the screen, then it started flickering, before taking fully to the portrait mode. I can't repeat this issue though.

Lastly, when I was in class I had no cell signal and tried to send a text. The notification that came up saying it would send when there was signal again wouldn't disappear until I rebooted.
