The only problems I've ever had with dirty flashing was when I used Restore Backup instead of flashing over the older build. Somehow I've had the eMMC become corrupt twice on this phone.

The first time I followed someone's advice to pull everything off, reformat, and copy everything back which took forever since I had to reformat the internal SD card (/data/media)

The second time I ran fsck without success until I saw there were two lost+found directories. I removed both and then fsck spat a ton of errrors that it corrected, and everything seemed to work fine after that.

Kind of disturbing, makes me want to send it in for warranty but I'm lazy and it works.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] inkling:
Yes, I'm having that exact same issue. I'm on RC4, what about you? Check the details of the text : for me, the photo isn't being reduced in size as much as the photos that do send. It stays over 1MB,no idea why some and not others.

06072013 nightly

Anyone else having issues flashing it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Update your bootloader.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Purple Ferret:
Had some odd reboots last night.

Phone would randomly freeze up and hotboot, and I couldnt for the life of me figure out what was wrong.

I ended up loading RC4 again onto my external card, along with Gapps and the radio and did a Factory Reset+Reflash. Seems to have solved the problem. All I was doing at the time was tethering my phone via USB using PDANet and loading some stuff onto the internal memory via my computer.

Even if I wanted to post last_kmsg now I couldn't. I tried cat /proc/last_kmsg > whythesporkisthiscrashing.txt but it complained about a read only filesystem.

I will note that the output listed something about an Emergency remount R/O or something. Also this issue would happen even when I wasn't tethering.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itzsmokey:
So my phone has been heating up for the past few nightlys and I couldn't figure out what the problem is.....till I started teethering and my phone staid cool, till I turned on the screen and it became extremely hot again. Any ideas out there for why this is happening? And any ideas on how to fix it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
So basically, it gets hot when the screen is on?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itzsmokey:
Not warm, not hot, but extremely hot. Way past the normal temperature it should be when the screen is on.

Connectivity issues

Is anyone else having cellular network connectivity issues? On stock kernel RC4, 6/5, and 6/6, my phone is stuck in EDGE roughly 70% of the time, has no connection whatsoever 10% of the time, and has my normal UTMS/HSPA connection the remaining 20% of the time (according to OpenSignal). I'm in the same area as always and nothing else has changed since RC3. I've tried reflashing the radio (UVDMD5), clearing caches, removing the battery, updating builds—all the normal stuff. I would love to blame T-Mobile for this, but a friend with a TMo Note II who works in the same area has no issues.

If this keeps up, I guess it's time for another factory reset. TMo's EDGE is worse than my 28.8 modem in the 90s.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lowsnamebrand:
If you call tmo they can ping you to the neatest tower see if that helps if not try reflashing
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rage913:
Hey guys. Was trying to figure out why maps was causing a stupid amount of wake locks on my phone... I turned off background information in Google maps and I just turned off maps and traffic history in google now. I don't know what else I can stop. I mean I do like using Google now, kinda crappy to not use the feature right? Any suggestions. Going to do a full battery charge and then see what bbs says
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
You have two options:

1) Greenify it.

2) Disable it.

1 is preferable.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Halotron:
They're sending out an engineer. We'll see what happens. I just did a totally clean flash last week (wiped and low-level formatted internal and external storage completely), so I'd rather not deal with that again if I don't have to!)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rage913:
I did. Still no dice :(

change Log

Where can I find the change log for RC5? I am having BT connectivity issues from 6/5 and need to resolve that as well as the problem of not always being able to send MMS attachments.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] timosuomi:
There were BT fixes in the 6/6 experimental build. Any newer nightly should be good for BT.

Sent while playing on my phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Androiduser96:
Yeah, my pictures are also about 1MB. And I'm on the 6/4 nightly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] trofmoc:
Experimental still has BT issues. Trying Rc5
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] timosuomi:
BT is behaving correctly on 6/7 for me.

Sent while playing on my phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Purple Ferret:
Also trying out RC5. I have the rom of RC5 on my external card should something go wrong.

Why am I trying RC5, well as put as ze Medic from TF2

I have no idea!

Edit: Just updated, interface and control is actually a bit smoother, and a bit faster too. Haven't had any issues yet, but its only been 10 minutes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mdfritz:
I had the molasses data or no data issue this morning. Thought it might be the 6/7 nightly, but rc4 was the same. By noon it was ok again. It's T-Mobile, no need to mess with the phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Halotron:
Good to hear, but as of 15:03 MST I'm still stuck on worse-than-dial-up EDGE. Had no service at all between 11:30 and 12:45. Since it worked out for you, though, I'll just wait it out for awhile longer.

Edit: everything seems to be back to normal now. Knock on wood...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mdfritz:
They're just using up all our bandwidth to send our call and internet history to the NSA. ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lantigua:
HA !!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rojovilla:
Nice one!

On a side note, running a clean installation of RC5. Smooth like butter :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] corkythetard:
Just for grins and giggles I dirty flashed the experimental yesterday, but now that the RC and new nightly dropped it seems moot to report it's running like buttah! :cool:

I have battery stat screen shots to share if anyone wants to see.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] inkling:
Same thing on the 6/7 nightly. It's bizarre. Are you receiving texts on time?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tidewblch:
idea

My pictures are sending regardless of size however, screenshots from the phone that are less than one meg are not sending. Those are PNG files though not jpg. Perhaps that has something to do with it. The file type?

I use handcent for my messaging app.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKucho:
Hey guys, just got my SIII and I'm on stock(rooted) 4.1.1 with baseband T999UVDLJA with CWM 6.0.3.1 installed, can someone please give me steps to be able to flash this seemingly amazing rom? Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
All you need to do is download RC5 or latest nightly then boot into recovery and follow these steps

1) make a nandroid backup

2) Wipe system

3) Wipe data

4) Wipe cache/dalvik cache

5) flash ROM

6) flash gapps 20130301

7) Reboot
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] inkling:
Hmm... i don't know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKucho:
Simple enough, thanks! But just by flashing this, I'll upgrade to 4.2.2? I didn't think it was that simple
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
You already have all the requirements for flashing this so yes it is that simple.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] darknessxyz:
Dirty flashed RC5 and ran it whole day. All I can say is awesome. Battery life was amazing, 12hr with 2hr screen on and I still have 42%, GPS and Bluetooth on the while time.

Bluetooth still not able to pair automatically. However it paired up once I hit it.

No hot reboot whatsoever With KT747 5/29 build.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] munkyvirus:
You'll probably need to upgrade your bootloader. Even if you don't need to, its recommended.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rojovilla:
It's not there in RC5
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] abc123pro:
Then I guess the only way to disable it would be to set animation speeds to 0x in developer settings

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] inkling:
For awhile now I've thought that "clean" flashes didn't do anything much. Yesterday however I did a factory reset, flashed latest nightly and restored my apps and most of their data, and lo and behold, my battery life has gone through the roof. Previously I was getting to 30 prevent within 6-8 hours. this is on stock kernel

EDIT: ok i don't trust this graph considering it actually goes UP halfway thru. i thought i charged my phone this morning, guess i was right after all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] St0n3s:
Whats with the "service not activated on network" errors when trying to send pictures?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] abc123pro:
I thought it was just me....

I even double checked the apn settings so it can't be an issue. Tried different kernels, changed mms app settings, then finally tried doing a clean flash of Liquidsmooth to see if that would fix it but no, still the same service not activated on network error. When I get home from work I'll do an Odin flash back to uvdmv5 stock and will report back
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] St0n3s:
I'm just running the stock RC5. No other kernels, nothing. Sometimes a picture will go through then the very next one will not.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tidewblch:
What I have found is my JPG's will get resized and go through but my .PNG files which are even smaller than one meg, usually around 500K will not go through. I had mentioned it earlier perhaps it is the file type. Are the images you are trying to send all JPG or other types?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] St0n3s:
JPEG's, raw they are generally about 1.5mb. Even converting them to jpeg's at 230 to 730kb they still don't send.

I've had the 1.5mb jpegs go through at times & other times not, Same thing on resized ones.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] abc123pro:
What I found was that old images taken before from my sd card still send, so do screenshots. Only pictures taken with this rom won't go through.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CAR1977:
I have data issues as well. Called T-Mobile and they Walked me thru setting the phone to use the 3/4g data instead of edge. And in the process also registered me on the network. Go to settings-more-mobile networks-network provider. It will search for providers. I am on T-Mobile and had to choose the first T-Mobile option (there where two but they just said T-Mobile)

Let me know if that worked for you. Good luck
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Alpha_wolf:
i been taking pics and sending them to friends and family all day

running rc5

idk what everyone means by the sending pics thing it works fine for me
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] abc123pro:
Thanks for the help. Unfortunately I wasn't able to fix it. So I just switched to a different rom for now to avoid the hassle and mms is once again fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jankies:
. Everything works great here as well.. Fixed my MMS issues from the 6/4-6/5. Rc5 running like a champ since I flashed it.. Really smooth.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
What the difference between nightly and rc?

Which one more stable?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] parmijo11:
Basically, Nightly = Test version but not offical Cyanogen, RC = Release Candidate, RC's are typically more stable but not always. Below is something that I found when i searched Google.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yuugotserved:
hi all, so i flashed the 6/7 nightly and checking battery i see that bluetooth is using 48% but bluetooth is not turned on. is this normal?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] trofmoc:
battery life is nice on lateat nightly

bt-bt issues abound. works well on outgoing callas ,--incoming calls go to phone and bt disconnects. same as before for me?:p
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] St0n3s:
yes, because we all know that if it's working on your phone it should be working on everyone else's phone :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mdfritz:
It's a bug. Go to Bluetooth settings and try toggling it on or off. If it says turning off Bluetooth and you can't toggle it, then go to menu->manage apps-> running apps, you'll see 6 Bluetooth services. Click on it and stop all six one at a time. Then your good until it randomly happens again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Alpha_wolf:
idk wouldnt it ?? im just asking ..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ziggy46:
Don't base your opinions of the newest nightlies off of dirty flashes. If you do a clean flash everytime and use the default kernel then your results are valid. Because if you have leftovers from older versions or other variables then its hard to tell if the problem really still exists
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sixonefour:
Coming from RC3 to RC5 (clean install) battery life has significantly improved for me on the stock kernel. 3%+/hour down to 1.7%/hour according to BBS. I don't use bluetooth so I cannot comment on it. The 2 MMS I attempted to send went through fine (unlike RC3). Data connectivity appears stable. Pandora didn't miss a beat while streaming. Scrolling is buttery and snappy. Good stuff devs!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] darknessxyz:
Anyone experience problem with play store? I cant download my apps from history, even I clear data from apps manager.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mdfritz:
Actually, the man says cm updates are designed so that you never need to wipe (clean flash) unless you mess up something (which generally happens after months of flashaholic activity). Read the man's comment in this post

Can anyone comment on lag while in landscape mode? When im in portrait my gs3 is zippy as all hell. Soon as I put her in landscape she gets slower than molasses. :p was using some tweaks for ktoonz but I went back to stock kt747 ktoonservative/Zen - 50 across the board. I'll report back at the end of the day. Think tomorrow I'm just going to try stock and see how that runs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Might be the conservative governor. See if issue is resolved with interactive. My phone acts funny with a -50mV undervolt. It will do -25mV, though. Just a thought.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mdfritz:
Seems fine to me. Did you update to today's kt747 release?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ziggy46:
It doesnt always work out that way and you know that. Clean flashes are the most reliable of your are providing information about the rom to possibly help fix a problem. It brings consistency to the thread instead of "why da camra no wurk herp derp" and "works fine for be"
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rage913:
I'll give it a try in a bit. Interactive doesn't play to nice with my gs3 I tend to stay ramped up in the processor alot more than I care for. Just trying to get decent battery. I'm happy at ten hours with about 3 of screen time. Less if I'm being really heavy with it. But I'll give it a shot thanks

Crap. Didn't know there was an update. Been running the 29th lol. Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ajm786:
FYI, flickering is back on both the latest nightly as well as RC5. I have to disable HW overlays in order to stop it.

Also, is anyone else experiencing random crashing? I just had RC5 and the latest nightly random crash on me about 5 times.

Just got my first one. :confused:

Is anyone else having issues with the volume rocker keys delaying. For example I hold down the volume up but it takes about a second to register and start raising the volume. I hope it isn't my volume keys.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] klin1344:
The volume rockers are fine for me.

I haven't noticed a change in responsiveness.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Purple Ferret:
Latest nightly is running smooth as butter for me.

-No Flickering

-No Lag

-Insane Battery Life (I am getting 1% drain an hour when unplugged)

-Insanely efficient charging (It's charging way faster than it used to, and I am using the stock charger and usb cable)

-No force closes

-No Bluetooth issues

-No issues with button response time.

This is with both the Stock Kernel and ktoons as well as the Allstar kernel (Latest releases)

I also found out what was wrong with PDANet, it was the Stock CM Kernel. I don't know why, but for some reason PDANet just doesn't like it and while it will act like its trying to connect, it never does.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] trofmoc:

Ok so I've used Greenify on maps and it's still giving me damn wake locks. At the moment my bbs is saying I'm averaging 5.9% an hour and the only thing showing up is audio out. Bluetooth is off and I haven't run any music but I went and checked my wake lock detector and low and behold...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rage913:
Edit: forgot the other pic and I can't edit my previous post.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Rebooting should fix that drain. I'm nearly positive it's a bug in CM or it's kernel, that has propagated to third party kernels.

As for Maps, try disabling Wi-Fi and mobile network location in your location settings. And watch Greenify. It will tell you why something is running.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dhawk312:
Gf's TMO S3 is running RC5 and it keeps randomly rebooting. Also happened on RC4 and PacMan, but was worse. It's not that frequent on RC5, maybe once a day that she notices it happen. Not sure what the issue is. Will installing the KT747 kernel help with this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] darjama:
Try fixing permissions, it helped me with reboots on RC4, haven't had a problem since. Using both stock and lean kernel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itzsmokey:
Nightly 6/10 is running great at my end....my phone doesn't heat up to 126° anymore. And the drain isn't bad either.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rage913:
Battery seems decent even though I have this coming up in battery stats. Even after a reboot. Don't know what else could be tripping my data connectivity. Greenify isn't showing me anything so I don't know.

I know that that particular wake lock is suppose to be the physical radios being switched on and off. Does that also pertain to the data radio being switched from 3g up to 4/hspa?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
PowerManagerService = partial wakelocks. Look there for your answer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] corkythetard:
After flashing the latest ktoonsez kernel with the 6/9 nightly, the power manager service wakelocks went from around 60% of the entire battery discharge down to maybe 7-8%. It was really bad. Haven't had time for screen shots of my bbs, but that was definitely the culprit of wakelocks for me. Running ktoonservative @ 1350Mhz max and row for i/o scheduler. 5% per hour +/- battery drain today. No screen shots. Kinda forgot, but wanted to share anyways.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itzsmokey:
Crap still have some heat spikes but nothing like before.....really hope this isn't damaging anything inside ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rage913:
Do you know if there is anything in particular I need to look for? I thought it was the switching of the radios on and off but I feel like that might not be the case? Is that not what a partial wake lock is?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Partial wakelocks are caused by apps you have installed. Post a screenshot of the partial wakelocks. If I had to guess, it's related to syncing.

Your radio wakelocks are going to be bam_dmux_wakelock and radio-interface. If you were on wifi, you wouldn't see those, but wlan_rx_wake, wlan_wake, wlan_wd_wake, etc. instead.

Does the s3 still lag with cyanogen mod? When I had mine, I flashed 4.2.1 and the animation lagged a lot. I bought a nexus 4 and I love it, but the lag of storage space and SD card slot sucks because I can't store large amounts of my music on my phone.

Does 4.2.2 cause stutter/animation lag in the s3?
