Hi everyone, I was hoping people could fill me on the status of the firmware and CM rom. I havent checked on the nightlies in a few months, last I checked CM just transitioned into 10.1 and required upgrading the firmware to a more recent version. I was hoping the helpful people here could fill me in on is how is T999_UVDMD5 Firmware along with 10.1.2 stable is working for you guys? Are there any battery, overly hot, etc issues? I updated to that firmware and that stable rom and I felt like my battery life is terrible and that my device gets hot with just regular usage like setting up my apps, home screen, folders, etc. (no games or anything graphics intensive).

Slow Data In STL

I'm in St. Louis and on 10.1.1. My data has been consistently bad for the last few weeks. I was going to look for a new modem today, but not really sure if it will help. My husband is still running his S3 stock and his data has been slow too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mvaughan06:
thanks. a buddy on his amaze 4g was hitting 8. wonder why they slowed it down? doesn't seem right...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] silverton:
My data connection has been pretty lame lately too. Getting to the point of only managing 500kbps instead of my usual 13-20mbps. Resetting the APN fixes it temporarily.

I had ODIN'd back to stock for a few days, and the problem persisted, for those wondering.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DrewCSchultz:
I'm also in the Saint Louis area and my speeds have dramatically reduced. I think it's on their end.

Hi, I would like to get back the network option (LTE/WDCMA only). It was taken out when I upgraded from 10.1.1 to 10.1.2. I'm most of the time in an area of Edge signal (Full bars) but I have decent WDCMA signal (about 2 bars) and it's often changing from H+ to EDGE, even when I select WDCMA preferred. I really liked to use the WDCMA only option since the internet was way better that way. Now I don't have a way to go back to H+ when the phone decides to go back to Edge. Is this possible for next versions? Thanks in advance!

Ridiculous battery drain on the latest nightly. 13 minutes of screen on time, 2.5 hours off charge, and I'm down to 59% battery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I would need to see BBS log to confirm but probably msm_otg? Unplug from charger then reboot.

Just tried installing 9/6 nighty and the phone doesn't boot past the mean looking cm guy anymore :confused:. I only get the cm guy screen, basically before the cm circle animation. I cleaned caches and tried fixing perms. Same result. Any ideas. I'd like to be on the latest nightlies...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mgsfan:
same happened to me. Went back to 9/05 and all is good
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] silverton:
I'd say that's all it was, before and after reboot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] frappe33:
Ditto. Sadly my backup was before the 9/05 update so I've rolled back to 10.1.3 RC2 after spending hours getting everything just-so after full wipe to 10.2. grrr.

Can anyone help with a crash/reboot? Here's my last.kmsg: http://pastebin.com/pyKxY9uA

This one happened while listening to a Google music stream via 4g. But I've had them happen on sending emails and receiving text as well. Occasionally they happen when I'm not actively doing anything with the phone. They tend to happen once every other day. I've tried other kernels, but I'm current using stock. Running the 10.2 9/4 nightly. But they've been a problem since about the time they switched to the 3.4 kernel.

thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] snipinu:
Latest nightly will not boot back 09/05
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skewty:
I get reboots when talking on the phone. Doesn't happen every time. I am anxiously awaiting next months TW release because CM 10.2 hasn't stabilized much in the last few months in my opinion.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
Oh so I'm not the only one, good to know. Both the 9/6 and 9/7 nightlies won't boot up for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kalm_Traveler:
I'm on rc2 and it seems to be really burning through the battery since yesterday's update.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lawful123:
Mine will not boot also. Boo.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] frappe33:
Reboot issues as well, Stock 10.2 Rom, 9/5 would reboot frequently, 9/6 wouldn't boot past the blue man, back to 10.1.2 no issues. Tried 9/5 a second time with many reboots as well. At least this makes the phone fun again ;)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kalm_Traveler:
Thanks Jay, I reverted back to 10.1.2 and all is well. That 10.1.3 RC2 ran fine but eating a full battery in less than a day is ridiculous.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KevlarTheGreat:
You must not leave anything on or have any apps that have any background services whatsoever. I've run pretty much every daily CM build from the beginning and I've never gotten a full day out of this phone even if I don't really use it. If you can really get it to last through the day with 10.1.2, I would LOVE to know what you did to make that happen. What things do you leave turned off? Do you turn off all push, HSPA+, etc? Usually my biggest drain on the battery is reported as Cell Standby or Google Services. What version of Radio ROM do you use?

I would really appreciate the advice.

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
If you want good battery out of CM, you need a custom kernel. There is really no other way around it. And Greenify, to make poorly coded apps behave.

But if your signal isn't good, and you can't connect to wifi, there isn't a whole lot you can do. Poor cell reception drains the battery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kalm_Traveler:
Radio is UVDLJC

HSPA+ is on, though I noticed when not actively downloading, the connection will say 3G instead of H+

I don't have GPS or Bluetooth on much (don't use the GPS really ever, and the only bluetooth I pair with is my car stereo... very infrequently)

There are about 10 apps with background services running.

With typical "light" use (IE checking social networking apps every hour or so, reading new emails, texting through the day, etc) 10.1.2 usually lasts me 2 days before needing a recharge.

Cell Standby or the screen are the two highest battery usage entries always.

*EDIT*

Also, I do not have a custom kernel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lawful123:
Do you use twrp to install? If so what version?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HoustonsBirdman:
Plz dont flame me lol

ok.. so 10.2 is 4.3 or 4.2 based? Sorry in advance, been away from all of this for a while and recently ( a few months back went from a SII to SIII) got back, never been a huge "flashaholic" nor have I have I used many Cyanogen roms but I know CM has to be one of, if not the most recognized so I really wanna give it a shot.. being away doesn't mean I have forgot about the "search" function! Just a simple question as you can see I don't have many posts and know my way around the "phone game" so it should say im more of a "reader" rather than a "poster" :D:p:eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krntehknik303:

Anyone try 0908 nightly?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yanikd:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
I can confirm that 0908 boots, running on it now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sam_1421:
I waited for some time now before switching to CM 10.2... I followed this thread for a while but I'm not sure what are the things working / not working as of the latest 10.2 nightlies?

I think many people are reporting battery drain issues but I'm not sure it's a general issue or just their particular case.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skewty:
Several people have reported the following problems:

# camera sometimes crashes and you have to reboot to get it back

# extsdcard sometimes crashes

# imei lost on boot; reboot to fix

# Bluetooth fails to fully disconnect and won't reconnect or turn off; reboot to fix

# camera can take a long time to come up sometimes (maybe related to the extsdcard issue)

# many network mode settings don't work in settings (like wcdma only)

# reboots for unknown reason (I have personally had this happen while talking on the phone about 5x)

Anything else? I can edit this post if somebody has more to add.

I've only noticed random reboot once, but I think its cuz I under volted.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] frappe33:
Seems to reboot on Nav, but otherwise OK. Had one reboot on first try with Focal camera app, but after that Focal has behaved. No kernel mods running. Battery isn't great.Battery Stats Plus shows SIM Toolkit with alot of wakes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krntehknik303:
Noticed the sim toolkit too. What is that??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] West420:
Flashed the 09/09 nightly and it's running smoothly with no problems so far. I just have a question regarding Focal. Is there a way to change the locations that pictures are saved to? I'd like to save them to external sd, but it seems to be making its own camera folder in the internal storage.

GPS

My GPS seems to work fine most of the time, but when I use it for running it seems to lose signal for 20-30 seconds at a time. This is a bit irritating when I run for a couple of miles and the GPS says I'm missing a quarter mile. Anyone else losing GPS signal out in the open randomly?

I don't remember this being a problem on 10.1 but I suppose I could flash it to find out.

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

The problem with it locking on the bootsplash seems to be that it couldn't get passed the bootanimation.zip file.

It looks like the method of using ODIN to flash a rooted stock rom manages to erase the bootanimation.zip, where as TWRP was leaving it there. If you get stuck there, go into recovery and fire up a command line interface (TWRP has one) and rm the bootanimation.zip file. I'll look back a few posts to find the path and post it here. Other than that make sure you are flashing the latest gapps and wipe your data and you should be good to go. Some folks have gotten away with a dirty flash but you'll have to uninstall/reinstall a bunch of apps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RedJack117:
So are you guys flashing thr latest nighly with twrp 2.6.1?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Yes sir
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RedJack117:
Haha thank you...you haved hepled me numerous times I really appreciate it. I'm also going to try deleting that bootanimation zip just for good measure. I will test it on other 4.3 roms too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RedJack117:
What exactly is the command you need to use to remove the zip? I tried to search for it using the file manager but couldn't find it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] West420:
How did you save picture locations to external again? I did it once but now I can't seem to find the option anymore. I'm running CM 10.2 09/08 nightly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] darknessxyz:
I use the camera app instead of Focal. In the camera app tap on the icon next to the shutter button and then tap the setting icon. Focal and other picture related app CANNOT save to external SD.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lowsnamebrand:
How stable has 10.2 gotten as of recently? Been incredibly busy haven't been able to keep up on here. I know I should just flash it but I've been spending most of my time chasing my nine month old son around my house lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OreoBoyVa:
He's already running lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] West420:
I was able to solve the issue with a wipe and a clean flash back to the 09/08 nightly and everything is running buttery smooth. The external storage icon is now showing in the camera settings. :)

No he's just one fast ass crawler and he desides to try and stand up in the worst possible places he also learned shaking baby gates will loosen them up to be able to fall lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krntehknik303:
Other than what was mentioned I believe a page or two back. It is pretty stable for me. IMO. I still get random reboots with a different kernel can't tell if its related to the ROM or kernel. I don't under volt either cuz my phone can't handle it. (This is even with a full wipe and install)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PrimeNemesis:
Is anyone else having problems with this one?

I've got missing apps, most of Google Apps that need to synch won't (synchronization runtime exceptions galore), and I can't replace the one app I know is missing and very much need.

I've reinstalled several times, both the Nightly and GAPPS. It hasn't fixed the problem. I've even wiped /system to see of that helps. No go.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] trofmoc:
had same issue

tried rebooting numerous times but no help,then just turned it off for a minute and started doing just fine
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
Redownload Gapps and flash again, make sure get the 20130813 one from goo.im
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PrimeNemesis:
Thanks guys. I had already taken both of your suggestions. Still no go. I went back and conformed I'm using the correct version of Gapps. I even took the battery out and left it out. I even reverted back to yesterday's Nightly. Still the same problems. :banghead:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dantenios:
Anybody having issues with lag in the apps drawer? I get some lag when sliding to the third and on wards pages, first page slides fine. And also I got a weird Android icon where my Phone icon would be beside contacts on the home screen and when clicked it says it wasn't installed. Went back to the 10.1.2 release that i was on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
You need to replace the phone icon on your dock with the phone app located in your app drawer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] West420:
I've experienced the phone icon problem before. I just deleted that and dragged the new phone icon from the app drawer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
Backup everything then, reinstall your recovery then wipe everything (system, dalvik, cache) and reflash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dantenios:
Yea i ended up doing that in the end. Though any ideas about the App drawer lag? I was using the Cube-out transition and the first page would slide fine, but the pages after that would lag pretty bad. I think that's all that i saw so far as an Issue, it was on today's 09/11 build, I may try 09/10 and see if it's still the same. Gonna back up first..learned that the hard way..

Also, any ideas on why the phone gets VERY hot when running some apps including games? (i do know that it's dual-core and that it's most likely due to running at 1.5 GHz for them but is it like that for everyone?)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PrimeNemesis:
What exactly do you mean by 'reinstall my recovery?' I've already wiped system and dalvik before rolling back to 10.2-20130910.:confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
In other words, reflash your recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PrimeNemesis:
If I backup, will I save the whatever is causing the problem and just carry it over?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
Exactly, reinstall/update CWM (using ROM Mgr) or TWRP (using Goo Mgr)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] s_special:
Anyone else's stock camera crash on them? Is it the individual photosphere gapps I installed?? I need a working camera. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] West420:
I started having problems with the camera after I had flashed to the 09/09 nightly. It would crash a lot, freeze after taking one picture, and the save to sd feature was missing. All of that was fixed after I did a wipe and a clean flash back to 09/08.

Now everything is working great. The camera isn't crashing and the option to choose which storage location to save to is back.

How's Bluetooth on 10.2 for everyone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] niphoet:
I've had really good luck lately. Yesterday I ran into some weirdness where I would turn off the Bluetooth and about a minute later it would turn on, but a reboot fixed it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rayman2k1:
I've noticed this to be problem as of late. I think I saw some commits a while back that were supposed to have fixed it, but the issue is still there. Bluetooth doesn't turn off, it seems, and once you've switched it off (and then noticed that it's still on) it won't pair with anything. At least that's been my experience with it.

Off a reboot, BT pairs and works fine. And, I imagine, if you don't toggle it, that it'll continue to operate properly--it's just the turning off that effs it up.

Two times on different nightlies of CM10.2 have they messed with my microSD card. Once, it set it to read-only so I had to format it. Second time, it rendered it unreadable or recognizable by the phone until I formatted the card. I think I'll wait for a stable release, however long that takes. Can't risk it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sixonefour:
+1 I had similar issues with my microSD card being unreadable/requested formatting. I assumed it was the microSD card going bad already (its less than a year old and Samsung brand) but after reading your post I'm beginning to wonder what caused it. Switched ROMs and haven't saw it since.
