I totally agree on the hardware. Don't get me wrong.. and I am thankful for ALL the Devs who have invested so much time and made my life more fun because I love "making things mine" in my own ways and not having what the next guy does.. much appreciated.. the ability to not touch the phone like in the commercial is awesome, that's technology at a new level from a phone. Im a auto tech for professional shop and my hands are dirty alot so it would be awesome but I'm not gonna have my phone on the car I'm working on lol... LTE isn't too appealing because like I said, I'm in a major city (Houston) and they still haven't given me a "great" 4g.. I was at home with 1 bar 4g and now I'm drinking at the bar and its up to 2 bars hehe. :beer: ... I just got my S3 coming from a S2 I gave to my wife.. and someone asked "who would be stupid enough to buy a s3 when the s4 is out. So my apologies
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djmasters:
Never mind, fixed it myself. Cleared Cache & Data on Gallery, now no one looks like a Smurf..... unless they're a Smurf....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HoustonsBirdman:
Can I ask a question... I just got my s3 (coming from s2).. the smart look function, (or whatever it is) what makes it not applicable in roms? I know its a Samsung thing but if its a "stock" function then why don't any roms incorporate it?.. I apologize for the "noob" question , like I said I just got my s3 but its a valuable function to me.. I don't need multiwindow since nine of my apps apply

This topic is for cyanogenmod discussion. Post in q and a please. Also, the function IS there in touch wiz roms.

So, I had to Odin to a pre-rooted JB for mobilicity as i've learned i needed a newer bootloader to use the new CM 10.1 nightlies. I'm now on T999VVDLL1. Which CM 10.1 Build would work best, becuase i tried to flash today's build and it worked, but gapps didn't include gmail and there was no option to edit APN's nor change the mobile networks, nor did it detect my network and ask for my Pin for my sim card. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
latest gapps no longer included the Gmail. You have to install that separately.

Try a FULL wipe and see if you can access your APN's then.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dantenios:
I thought I did do a full wipe after. How do you do a Full wipe?

Edit: I forgot to add that even after flashing the latest gapps, my play store doesn't seem to want to work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Full wipe meaning wiping your system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.

Can you confirm doing this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dantenios:
yup, I did, Still no network, usually at the welcome procedure, the network would eventually come up but now it's roaming right off the bat, and my sim's pin lock prompt never comes up. i went into recovery and before flashing the CM 10.1 update and gapps i wiped data, cache, dalvik and system.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Try fully wiping 3x. People have reported that fixing similar issues.

Report back
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dantenios:
Alright, I restored back from my touchwiz JB back up, then into recovery and did a Full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik) three times. Still the same issue, Phone isn't detecting my network, nor the pin lock on my sim, no APN and Play store continues to stop working.. =/

Edit: I was looking at the build.prop for ro.product.model=SGH-T999 shouldn't that be SGH-T999V? since i'm using the Canadian GS3 and then for ro.build.description=d2tmo-user 4.1.1 JRO03L T999UVDLJA release-keys My phone was T999VVDLL1 not T999UVDLJA same for the ro.build.footprint. I could be wrong and this is just something else, but am curious, since the T-mobile GS3's and the Canadian ones use different builds.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mdfritz:
Check your imei in settings> about phone> status. If it's 0, then you need to re-inject your imei. This happens sometimes when rooting the non v variant but could happen to v too I suppose. Causes network loss.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] klin1344:
Lol.

Wiping one time vs three times does no difference. For some reason there seems to be a rumor going on that it is better to wipe more than just once. But each time you wipe, the same exact script is executed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
True. Same script yes but rumor had it that some temporary files wouldn't completely wipe out with the script and some have reported success wiping the same partitions more than once and lucky number 3 happened to be mentioned a lot lol.

Apparently, this is the main reason why some devs recommend wiping specific partitions 3x in their OP.

I myself have had success in flashing after wiping 3x when a single wipe did me no favors. So in my case the "rumor" was true lol thanks for the insight though. Really do appreciate it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Same goes for wiping your ass. ;)

For the user having the issues, I think it may very well be related to the new builds and boot loader and your APN/Build.Prop they might not all be playing nicely.

T-Mobile SGS III
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mondokat:
not only is it the same script, if you use CWM or TWRP to do the wiping (which is almost everyone), the script (by default) is literally formatting the partitions with mkfs. reformatting a freshly formatted partition is like shoveling snow off your driveway twice. the second time doesn't do anything. You just look silly swinging a shovel around in your empty driveway. By the third time, the neighbors start calling the psych ward to come pick you up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
tried installing 5/20 nightly but got the error 7. Any way to fix?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Read the last 5 pages or so. You need to have an updated bootloader

T-Mobile SGS III
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neysito:
When you reboot the first time after installing a cm-10.1 nightly coming from TW mobilicity's network wants you to activate your phone again but it won't ask for it right way, only when you reboot once more , that's why that first time it goes roaming and it does not connect to their network.

-Do a full, clean wipe in recovery.

-Install nightly.

-Install gapps.

-Reboot and setup your phone (it goes roaming)

-Reboot and you will get the activate phone prompt.

-Activate it and it will connect without need to modify apns.

-Dialer will force close, don't worry about it.

-Reboot again, profit.

GS3 T999V
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dantenios:
I'm going to try that right now, but after doing fresh Odin to pre-rooted VDLL1, I hope it works, just curious, would it happen to fix the play store crashing at the beginning as well? (I'm using gapps-jb-20130301-signed for that) because after giving it my gmail and pass for it to sign in during the welcome procedure, right off the bat it comes back with Unfortunitely, Google play store has stopped.. If that gets fixed too then all is well lol

Edit: Well, I flashed CM 10.1 05/20 and i rebooted a few times, i didn't get any prompt to activate my phone, amd dialer didn't force close either. I'll continue to reboot in intervals to see if something works. But as of now it's looking bad, :( I can't even change any of the settings in mobile networks, they all stay at the default, doesn't matter what i choose. And Play store continues to force close on me.. =/ also, it doesn't come up as roaming, it is always searching for service.

Sorry for the OT comment :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ghostriderz85:
3x isn't enough, try 10x just to be sure.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dantenios:
Well i Ended up using Odin to go back to pre-rooted ICS and then flashed the 04/11 M3 CM 10.1 along with the gapps 20121212 and now everything is working, before the welcome i had to unlock my sim. I think i'm going to stick to this one for a while, until something more "solid" comes out lol still not sure why, the latest gapps play store crashes and why the newer CM 10.1 builds just don't let me change anything in mobile network settings. Ah well, maybe some time in the future, goo thing i had my SMS' backed up and all my apps + data as well with titanium, before I updated to root66 VVDLL1 TW JB. :P
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Glad you got it working bro
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dantenios:
Thanks, I am too lol and thanks for the help by the way!

i currently have the 10.1.0-RC2-d2tmo version do i just upgrade to the latest nightly?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] inkling:
thank you. So much easier
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ghostriderz85:
just flash this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14606531/T999 Devel/T999_UVDMD5_firmware_v2.zip

then flash cm10
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beto0216:
Sweet I did thanks! Just flash the latest nightly or the RC2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pakeha:
the battery life on this latest rom is fantastic. I have never seen it this great! thanks devs!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tdizzle404:
Nightly?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dave2metz:
Are you asking which nightly or what a nightly is?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rojovilla:
Which version whether it was nightly or something else. Rather ambiguous statement and interested what that brochacho is running as well :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GenericAsianGuy:
I'd assume it's about the latest nightly, 05/21, just by looking at the changelogs for the past two nightlies, I get the sense that they're stabilizing! Flashing it now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tdizzle404:
I was asking if he was on the latest nightly or rc2 because that's really the first positive thing I've seen someone on a nightly lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ashokjadav:
any fix for the new hangout voice issue when video chatting on cm10.1 roms ???
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] silverton:
Anyone else having a problem with sending MMS? I couldn't send, but could receive. Did a clean install (vs Delta) and problem persisted. Reverted to RC2 and I can send again. Problem was on 5/21 nightly, don't know when it perpetrated, but that's when I noticed the issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dyavrom:
I clean flashed RC2 and couldn't make it through the day with light-moderate usage, battery life was really bad for some reason. I dirty flashed to 5/15 and have had great battery life, and its been nothing but stable. using it for over a week now and only once did the status bar clock hang up and showed the wrong time. really the only issue i've had yet. fantastic rom!

currently at 9hrs battery usage (2hrs screen, 1hr voice calls) @ 50%.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
I hate to be apart of the band wagon here and whatnot but I'm in agreement that wiping multiple times does actually make some difference. Though I'm not a developer, I have experienced tons of SOD's and crashes when wiping once and using AOSP Roms, and wiping 3 times usually rids of the problem. LiquidSmooth 2.4 was an issue with this where wiping more than once came in handy.

Anyways, each device does act differently. I've updated my bootloader to MD5's and I'm going to test tonight's nightly. Will report back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Battery usage has been very inconsistent for me lately. I have zero clue what is causing it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] St0n3s:
The worst battery drain i've seen yet on any nightly.

Running 5/22

Also, with Ktoons running i was getting what appeared to be overheating or something. Colored lines all through the screen.

No overclocking or anything, just standard ktoonservative settings.

Also when i receive a text message no more blinking light notification(only a sound notification)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tdizzle404:
Yeah man I been periodically flashing nightlies when they look like they have some major fixes but it seems like the cm nightlies are just getting worse and worse. Flame on fan boys its just my opinion.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] St0n3s:
I have to agree! Sorry devs, but it's just been really really bad lately.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] silverton:
Oh well, its free. And they'll fix it eventually since this phone/ROM are also their daily driver.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dyavrom:
guess im the only one. having great results on 5/15
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] theinitial21:
could you share 5/15? its not in the nightly list, would love to try it out :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
5/23 is out. Testing now.

same here. hope its stable :)

I've noticed that disabling CABC in advanced settings seems to give me brighter whites. But it could just be placebo. Can anyone try this and see?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mondokat:
So, you're running a custom kernel and want to complain about performance? CM isn't going to test with every kernel, it's not their responsibility to make sure your kernel works with their rom, they have their own built-in custom kernel to worry about, and guess what? if you use the kernel CM comes with it has been working fine. If anything, it's not the devs that are screwing up your rom, it's YOU.

Sometimes I wish along with a "thanks" button there was also a "please stop helping" button.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Normally I would agree. But not this time. Only a few nightlies over the last ten or so haven't had drain issues for me (yesterday's was one that was good). The first thing I did was stop flashing another kernel. Issue is not kernel related this time.

BetterBatteryStats comes up with nothing. Exactly what I'm expecting, yet I'm draining 3% an hour idle. Instead of the usual 1.2%. Will not know if today's is good until tomorrow morning.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sixonefour:
I saw one beautiful day of "normal" battery life on RC2. The very next day it went down the toilet and has been there since. With the numerous posts about it still being an issue I'm not flashing any new nightlies until I see posts with people having better experiences with the battery. STOCK kernel with default settings. Personally I have to agree with the other folks. Battery life has been so bad lately I was considering flashing a March nightlie.

Aerowinder I know you're knowledgeable about BBS. Do you see issues in those screenshots with my constant draining battery?

Those BBS screenshots were taken just now but the others were when I first flashed RC2.

Other than battery life the ROM is great (for my use of course).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] St0n3s:
Actually you're wrong. Only tried Ktoons with 2 different nightlies(because one of the nightlies was so bad it needed it). Other then that i've been using strictly the CM since day one.

But thanks for you BS info.

& actually it was one of the senior members who said to use it because of the massive random reboots.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Before you revert, flash 5/22 with the latest ktoonz, which I believe is 5/17. Set ktoonservative/row, and undervolt 25mV across the board. Let me know how that works.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sixonefour:
Thanks! I'll give it a whirl later this evening or tomorrow and let you know. I'm tied up for awhile tonight. Should I just wait for the 5/23? Looks like it has a few goodies with sound.. and counting.

I think I have 5/5 KT747 so I'll download the latest. Should I go with Linux 3.0 or 3.4?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] theinitial21:
anyone noticing a bad static when on the phone? this has been happening alot...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
You can flash whatever nightly you want. But 5/22 worked well for me, which is why I suggested it. All builds past 3/17 or so are kernel version 3.4.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dyavrom:
sure thing. i put it up on my dropbox here. just give it an hour or so to upload.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] theinitial21:
thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sixonefour:
I had a few so I flashed 5/22, the latest KT747, and undevolted as you suggested. We will see what happens. Thanks for tips and I'll report back after I let it die and recharge it.

EDIT: I can already feel its snappier with this kernel. Also cleared up the slight laggy transitions I was having. My fingers are crossed mang.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Not a placebo. 10.1 has been bad on battery even with the latest build.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dyavrom:
FWIW, i used setCPU to make a few profiles for when the screen is off and an app is running. I see that making phone calls/pandora normally use up a lot of battery, so making a profile where they are underclocked when the app is on and the screen is off turned out to be a huge help for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Are you guys using these GApps now? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012857&page=101

BT Issues

I updated to the 20130523 Nightly today. I'd been running RC2 since it was released to good effect. However, since installing the nightly, my BT has been randomly loosing connection and refusing to connect without multiple reboots.

Anyone else having issues? Also, I did install the new bootloader firmware and i'm running the stock kernel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] theinitial21:
I'm gonna give it a try, since i can always reflash everything lol. looks like someone posted that it worked on their sprint S3 so its worth a try. looks good too. good info I'll come back with an update after i flash it.

UPDATE: well i gave it a shot and tried the DPI and the minimal one and those were giving me alot of issues with the playstore, like i mean big waiting time to download so what i did was just get the 4.1.6 playstore apk and replaced it with the one in the gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip. remember to rename com.android.vending-4.1.6 to Phonesky.apk after downloading it if u plan on just updating the zip file

Yes its happening with newest one. Not overclocked, and all voltages stock. This has been an issue for me on various 4.2.2 ROM's as i was most recently running LiquidSmooth and had the same issue. At least I'm seeing others with the issue so I know its not something limited to my phone.
