Lj7 blob?

Hi guys,

kind of a noob question. I've tried to read through as much as i can of the post regarding this...It seems like there was a new modem sent in the last month or so (been busy with work) called lj7, and I also read at some point it was incorporated into the CM10 code somehow as 'lj7 blobs.' I donno what a blob is :) but when i installed the stable CM10.0.0 last week my modem stayed lg8. Is there something else I need to activate the LJ7 modem?

Is there a list of current modems right now? like most people, i have trouble with teh 3g to 4g handoff, but am solidly getting 4g after cycling the airplane mode in the stable build (before, that wouldn't happen, it was temperamental even with an airport mode cycle). I'm in in an area with full 4g bars (downtown baltimore) and I'm barely getting 5mbps on speedtest...early in the morning (quieter network traffic?) i got 7. something. These are quite slow LTE speeds, even for sprint. It's about as slow as wi max was. Could this have something to do with my modem/rom or should i yell at sprint about this?

thanks for your help!

You need to flash the correct zip file from custom recover with the desired baseband firmware. See the following forum with all the Sprint S3 firmwares.

I wouldn't necessarily expect the LJ7 radio update to solve your problem, but it may help.

I've been paranoid about my battery graph lately. Is this normal? I literally took my phone right off the charger and in about 15 minutes, it was down to 96. I didn't do anything but send a few texts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] r.suchil2:
Just gets worse.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jxb25:
Hmmm I would say let it settle in and see if it changes or what you could do is drain it all the way down and then charge it all the way back up and see if it still acts up

Not sure if these help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wonsae:
Thanks! I'll try that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
dude judging from the last pic it looks like your screen on time is at least 25-30 minutes. 8% battery loss for every 25 minutes of screen-on time equates to about 5.2 hours of screen-on battery life which is double what everyone else gets. stop complaining.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DerIdiot:
Turn down your brightness and turn off your screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] r.suchil2:
5.2 hours of battery life isn't even close. I'm at 40 percent with 1 hr and 34 minutes of my phone being on. I'm not complaining. I'm looking for help. Don't make assumptions.

---------- Post added at 03:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 AM ----------

And just curious, what logical way could you have calculated screen ON time. It would vary depending on how much I used my phone and what I used it to do. Just curious to see how you came up with that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rob_y11:
After a clean install on the latest nightly my phone seems kind of slow. Sometimes when I'm typing the keyboard takes a while to catch up. Also when the phone rings the screen will stay black for a while before I can see who's calling.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] r.suchil2:
I have already tried that. That isn't the problem. High brightness and turning on my screen (using my phone) wouldn't make the screen usage be using over 3/4 of the battery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Well.... post some stats like kernel alarms wakelocks and time in state and battery life.... I agree with a website mentioning turning radio off getting glbench

Running it in endless loops with the brightness at Max. ...of course that only shows the worst face of it.....it's really hard to gauge the impact of a governor or scheduler with out just examining the efficiency and performance gain.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] syngensmyth:
11/19 and still clam happy with battery life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nttdemented:
I've been running the bt experimental from a clean install the past 2 days and it has been flawless minus mms issues. I dont have the screenshot ready bit I got 10 hrs of light use and I still had 56% battery left and performance has been absolutely perfect!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] falconator:
Not sure if this is relevant, but in my og evo days we had sbc kernels because the stock kernel would stop charging at 100% (as expected) and then, while still being plugged in, allow the battery to discharge all the way to 90% or so before charging it up again. It would seem to drain quickly the first few minutes after unplugging because it wasn't actually "fully" charged. Perhaps this is occurring here?

Also I'm not sure your battery life is all that bad. I don't have a lot of faith in the stock reporting, especially in the first 10%. Let us know what it's like at the end of the day and you'll get better feedback.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
the point was that you barely had the rom installed for 30 minutes and you were already complaining about battery life before even giving it a full battery cycle...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] banstew:
Anyone having alarm issues where the alarm blares no matter the system volume? I've tried various system volume levels, but it doesn't seem to help like it did in earlier builds. I'm using gentle alarm on 11/16 for reference
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] syngensmyth:
11/19 my alarm volume is fine. Factory reset awhile back cleared up several issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davidstjohn1:
Are there issues with text messaging or any other issues with this ROM

OK this was a clean install for me, but I'll give a newer version a shot. Thanks!

battery life :/

I really love the cm10 stable build the only problem is the battery life :( I did 3 fresh installs and still no luck my battery is dropping 10 percent within 30 minutes of normal use, any suggestions? This is the third day I'm running this ROM and really don't wanna switch to a different one . maybe the kernal I checked the settings and have done everything possible
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Need more information
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jquill:
There is no fix for this problem. Mentioning battery life in this forum is worse than dealing with an apple fan boy, you get no real answers and people just tell you things like "it's about the experience man, battery life is relative to each persons set up". Which we all know just translates to "I don't know how to improve battery life so deal with it". Just saving you the trouble of dealing with everybody else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] syngensmyth:
ok I'll quit posting these
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jamin13:
To improve battery life, turn your phone off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] laikaf:
Except that's not how the CM devs/builds work at all. We have at least a couple of developers dedicated to just d2spr, not even the other d2 variants. Other devices have there own devs. Each devices has its own tree with its own specific patches. CM is not some monolithic piece of software developed for one device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] robert90262:
Are the new nightly offering anything new worth upgrading I'm on the stable build
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
That's a long rant to delete after posting.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I have not sacrificed any battery life by using CM. My battery still lasts up to 24 hours (20-22 typical) with 3 hours or so of screen on time, about the same as I got on Touchwiz -- neither better nor worse. On CM, I can still get up to 5 hours of screen on time if I use the phone for 5 hours straight -- again, the same as the stock Touchwiz ROM.

As for other custom ROMs, when I had my Evo 4G, custom ROMs always improved battery life. I was able to stretch my Evo up to 40 hours (with barely any use, of course) with MIUI installed. With a stock ROM, I would have been lucky to see 24 hours with the same use.

Your whole rant was baseless and definitely not a universal truth. Battery life will vary greatly depending on usage, and a custom ROM does not change that. It really depends on how you set your phone up. If you unwittingly leave a bunch of stock bloatware enabled, your battery life will be terrible on stock, but when you switch to CM, without the bloatware, your battery life will dramatically improve.

Your experience just means you were able to optimize the stock ROM better for your personal needs than you were able to do with the custom ROM. I'm sure if you wanted, you could optimize your CM battery life to equal or better your Touchwiz battery life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] khrizg35:
Thanks man guess I'm ROM exploring today lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jamin13:
Just tell the CM team you don't think the battery performance is usable. I'm sure your fix will come within three major Android updates.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jquill:
Your claims are highly exaggerated.

---------- Post added at 01:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 AM ----------

Yeah...I'm sure...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
No, I'm sure his claims are just his experience, which are obviously different than yours. And that's okay. He has CM10 work for him and his needs while it doesn't for you and yours. Thankfully, we're on Android so we actually have choices in this matter!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Archangel:
Take the arguments some where else now!

For the best battery life, dont buy the phone:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jamin13:
Also true but how will we have these arguments if we can't measure it? :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Archangel:
Take that up with your gf
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jamin13:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rrmzr1:
Wow. If its not battery its lte/3g handoff. Or its Bluetooth. Cm10 is awesome. Enjoy it. But I have to say sometimes it feels like by the time this ROM is stable. The sgs4 will be here lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kehlan:
Thought this issue would be gone by now...

My screen STILL doesn't always come on when I press the lock button. I know it's not the button (don't even try to blame hardware) because the softkey lights come on when I press it.

I switched to a TouchWiz ROM for a while and I actually expected these trivial issues would have been worked out by now.

Come on, man.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DatDude123:
Sounds overclock / undervolt kernel related to me. I don't think it's the ROM.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] banstew:
In case anyone else uses gentle alarm and is hitting this issue, it is due to a bug in the Samsung MP3 driver. If you want to use a song for an alarm you need to convert the file to .ogg
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AproSamurai:
So much complaining and little suggestion towards an ideal to path to fix these "trivial" things which plague you. Now it seems if they're as trivial as you wish they were there'd have to be a straightforward means to an end and there just might be, but your complaint doesn't change the fact that it may not be as high on the priority list as you'd like it to be if it even holds a place there to begin with.

There's better less arrogant ways to go about informing of things which aren't working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] syngensmyth:
Thanks, I have not had this issue for awhile but it's nice to hear someone offer advice instead of straight whining.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
It's either the ROM or the kernel. I have the same issue, and I'm using the stock kernel. I did not used to have the issue until shortly before the 10.0.0 release. Whether or not it's the ROM or the kernel makes no difference when both are stock.

Also, I think the dude acting like this is a huge deal needs to vacuum some sand out of his vagina, because it's really not that debilitating of a bug. It takes, what, an extra second (less?) and 2 extra presses of the power button? And it happens, maybe, a quarter of the time you unlock the phone (my experience)? People need to chill.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Nope. I'm at just under 50% with about an hour and three quarters of screen on time. If the trend continues, that's about 28 hours of battery life with 3 and a half hours of screen on time. LTE and GPS have been on the entire time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fidju:
I'm randomly getting Google service sign-in errors. I've been getting them a few times a day for the last couple of days. Is anyone else running into this?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] syngensmyth:
Yep, me too. Thanks for mentioning it. Nice to know I didn't screw something up.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] manso1102:
I'm sorry if someone has said this already but why isn't this ROM under the other Sprint development thread. It would get so much more traffic. Plenty of people don't come to this thread. Just a thought.

I don't even get why there is two carrier development threads, for each carrier, its weird lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G3n3Ra1:
Because the original section is intended for all development not based on stock software.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I love there's an original development section. Saves me from having to sift through countless Touchwiz based ROMs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RickyRage:
It happened once after the first call n thats it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] manso1102:
I figured as much but i had never seen that before, a thread just for original development. Oh well loving the rom though lol.

I agree is convenient I just think is funny when I tell people from other forums that I'm running cm10 and they hadn't seen a thread for it yet lol.

Okay so I figured out when my Face Unlock actually shows up for me. If I slide to unlock or to an app shortcut I see my pattern or pin. But if I sleep the screen on the pattern or pin, when I turn it back on then I get it showing Face Unlock. Anyone else getting this? I really don't feel like factory restoring to get it fixed. LOL. I guess I can do a Nandroid backup restore if it doesn't fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Master K:
I totally disagree. There are MANY folks on this ROM with great battery life including myself. I get about 50 hours of standby with hours of screen on time and some calls, emails etc. It is all about your use.

I will say that when I installed the 10 stable I did a full wipe not a dirty install and that alone helped a ton.

I saw that some people were having trouble with their bluetooth a while back and this problem hit me now too.

It started when I flashed kt kernel, but I dirty flashed over it and it was a bit better. Basically it connects now, unlike on the custom kernel, but there is no bass and the sound is pretty hollow.

Before doing a clean wipe I wanted to see if anyone else had this problem.

Speaking of Bluetooth, can anybody verify that BT audio works for phone calls? I have an aftermarket stereo in my car that worked fine with phone calls on my old Evo and was fine with the stock S3, but so far I've never been able to get it to work with CM10.

Interestingly, I can stream music over BT with no issues. If I make/receive a call, though, it acts as if everything is working fine but no audio is actually transmitted. I can switch from BT to Speakerphone during the call and it's working.

Ideas?

It's good that you're not having problems, but the occasional LoS when switching between eHRPD/LTE is a documented issue. Just look back a few pages in this thread to mkasick's comments. I would imagine nothing major will happen until 10.1 is rolled out, hopefully with the new JB blobs integrated.

Having two phones side by side in my possesion shows an issue. Mine is on the 11/22 build and the wifes is on stock rooted jb. Both had prl 25009 and LJ7 modems. Driving in the far northern chicago suburbs mine dropped data several times last night while hers was fine. Mine also dropped data several times on handoff today driving as well. A toggle of airplane or switching to cdma/evdo solved it every time.
