I agree with most of what you're saying. However, if I switch back to a stock based ROM and I use the hidden service menu to "nv rebuild", then I see more SATs (22+) and I can lock on to almost all.

I think we need a similar reset for aokp. Moving on ....

Searched this thread and didn't find anything on the issue I'm having. Just noticed this morning that my alarm snoozes by itself and continues to do so over and over. Just a short ring then snooze. Anything you guys could suggest? Running the latest 7.9.13 build.

I switched to an S4 and I was devastated to find out that your S4 Rom doesn't run on Canadian S4's! But I very much enjoyed running it on my S3. Thanks for the time an effort!

So. I've been having a random reboot situation.

Over the past maybe 4-5 weeks, I've tried to figure out what kind of scenario causes it. So far, the only thing I've come up with is that it tends to happen when I have poor cell reception.

Any idea what can be causing reboots with poor reception? Maybe an application is trying to sync or something, but can't connect, and is causing my phone to reboot? Or could it be something ROM-related?

What should I post next time it happens? logcat? last_kmsg? Not really sure.

I've done lots of clean flashes over the past few weeks, so I really don't think it's a ROM issue. I can't be sure, though. I haven't installed any new applications lately either.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NycKid175:
I am just confused because before the game was working fine; now when I open it I get a black screen is not really a big deal I just wait for a future release to see if that fixes the problem :D

It was working fine before what? You're not really giving any type of information here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NycKid175:
What I am saying is before in past releases the game worked perfectly but it seems that something in the latest release is causing the game from not working like I said is not a deal breaker I am just going to wait for a future release I just wanted to know if anybody else is having the same issue ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rbedell:
You haven't mentioned that you uninstalled (the application), rebooted your phone, installed (the application) from the market, and then tried to run the game again. (In those steps) You need to provide more information including a logcat if necessary. Try those things and if it doesn't work provide your log cat. And just so you know third party apps are technically (NOT) supported.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NycKid175:
Got it, I have installed a fresh copy of the latest ROM and I am still having the same problem. Also, I have cleared the cache for the app and still nothing, I am going to provide a log cat when I wake up in the morning thanks for the info :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1weener:
I've seen it noted on a few ROMs that this game gives a black screen. It probably will be updated soon enough. They say there is an old version of it (floating around on XDA) that will work with present ROMs... Here it is: LINK

Re-read my post because I edited it. Didn't want you to get the wrong idea. A clean install insures system functions don't have issues. You are having a 3rd party app issue.

Finally updated my bootloader!

I've been stuck on an old AOKP build ever since 5.17 came out with its I747UCDLK3 bootloader requirement. Yes it took me this long! I was having problems with Odin -- it doesn't seem to work from a virtual pc (Virtualbox anyway) for reasons having to do with the USB virtualization.

I got it working using heimdall 1.4, and just wanted to report on that. For some reason I couldn't find anyone else's instructions on how to take an odin file and flash with heimdall. It turns out to be fairly easy. I:

Downloaded and unpacked the Odin file with:

mkdir /tmp/I747UCDLK3_aio; cd /tmp/I747UCDLK3_aio; tar xvf ~/Downloads/I747UCDLK3_aio.tar.md5

(I don't know why they use a .md5 extension, it's not a checksum)

Rebooted thee phone into download mode and connected it to my linux box

Downloaded the PIT (partition table) with:

heimdall download-pit --output device.pit --no-reboot

Looked at it in human-readable format with "heimdall print-pit --file device.pit" -- I mention this here because it makes the next command a lot less mysterious.

Flashed the phone with:

heimdall flash --pit device.pit --MODEM NON-HLOS.bin --ABOOT aboot.mbn --RPM rpm.mbn --SBL2 sbl2.mbn --SBL3 sbl3.mbn --TZ tz.mbn --verbose

That worked fine for me, and finally I was able to install the 7.9.2013 build. Works great so far! (I'm using TWRP 2.6.0.0)

So I have good news and bad news...

Good news... My phone is successfully SIM unlocked, and works just fine on T-Mobile with full LTE.

The bad news... I can't run Task's rom anymore until I figure out what the heck is causing my issue.

The issue: The screen will just go entirely blank after interacting with the lockscreen (or any screen for that matter) leaving the phone with just my wallpaper and the statusbar, and then stops responding. I can't keep it responding long enough to get a logcat or anything. I then have to pull the battery to turn it off cause not even holding the power button will restart it.

I'll take any help I can get, providing the limited information I just shared. I'd rather use an iPhone then be forced to use ButtJiz... OOPS! I mean TouchWiz!!

Lowering volume during call

How do I lower the volume during a call while using headphones? When I try using the hardware buttons, it shows that the volume is being decreased on screen but in reality it is not changing the volume at all. In fact it is so loud that I usually have to remove my earphones from the ears for safety. I am running the latest version of the rom. Installed as OP instructed. I also tried going to the settings for sound. Does not change anything the volume levels while I am on a call using my headphones.

Hi Task,

I have had S3 for about 2 months, and in this period, I was flashing/trying several different ROMS, and each time, doing full wipes.

But lately. last 10 days I am on your ROM 7/9 build. Today I see update.

2 questions.

I am running very stable with 7/9 build ( infact, 7 days without even rebooting phone. forget abt FC/random boots)

Do I need latest update?

If needed, am i fine doing dirty flash, As I am settling with this ROM, have all sounds/display/sync etc settings all setup with all my apps. I dont want to go through

all those steps, for very minimal update.

Plz advise
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
1.) You don't need to do anything if you don't want to. Everything that you guys do here or flash is on your own free will. That's not mine nor anyone elses decision to make for you whether to update or not.

2.) If you don't want to follow all of the installation instructions and fully wiping your device then you are wasting your time here. ;)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] android_4life:
Nope, the wonderful part of flashing is re-logging in to Facebook etc....when you do a full wipe you select one of the options that said wipe data nothing can restore that. It only takes a few to log back in anyways.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] prata:
Currently, the external sdcard has issues with the being written to. You can fix this, but it requires making a change to a system file. This isn't a permanent fix as you're going to have to change it every update (the change survives reboot).

If you're not comfortable with adb and/or the shell I'd wait for a fix from Task/Ktoonsez.

Also, if you muck around in the system files, you get to keep the pieces if you break something, it's impossible for anyone to support you after that.

question on new flash

Sorry for the noob question but i will learn some day. so when a new updated rom comes out from 7/28 to new rom 8/1 do i have to do a full wipe, cache wipe and dalvik? every time i do that i lose all my custom settings and apps.

also do i need to flash the same kernel every time i update the same rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Moh_Jay:
Don't have to full wipe unless the dev tells you to. If updating just wipe cache, dalvik cache, format system then flash the latest rom update and gapps. If you want to report a bug then make sure you full wipe to see if the problem is still there before you report it. As for kernel, if you want to keep the separate kernel you flashed than you must flash it again after flashing the update because it gets overwritten by the kernel in the rom.

Hey buddy! Welcome home. Hope all went well?!? Yeah, it seems as tho there are some disgruntled trolls voting down KT and Task's threads, sad huh? If they don't like, there's other places for them to go, just saying...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] prata:
Sure. Not a problem.

from adb shell:

mount the /system partition as read/write so you can actually do stuff.

mount -o remount rw /system

cd /etc/permissions
vi platform.xml

Or if you're not into moving around directories:

vi /etc/permissions/platform.xml

Find the following stanza:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>

That stanza needs to look like the following:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>

Mount your /system r/o again:

mount -o remount ro /system

Let me be clear, that YMMV. This works for me, and Task is working on a permanent solution to this issue. If anyone does anything with this and breaks their phone, or modifies the wrong line, you get to reflash.

Also, if anyone uses this method, be aware that vi is a nasty terrible little creature, and you need to know how to use it before you actually use it. If only there were emacs =-P

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Who cares? Flashing these updates is all done on you guys time and when you want. Its your choice if you want a good running system or not. Decide for yourself if you want to fully wipe or not.

Sho'nuff. Flashing ROMs can be addicting, and as with any good addiction, there are costs that must be paid.

Or, in other words, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

If the older release you're running is working well on your device and you're happy with its features, paluinfusion, then there's no reason to flash a new one. But if you, like so many of us here, are a flash junky who always wants the latest version no matter what, you gotta pay the price every single time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paluinfusion:
Gregory, Probably, I flash more frequently than you :fingers-crossed:

I have been flashing on my previous Infuse for 16 months, before getting S3, which I am flashing from day 1 of holding it.

And I just dont stick to one ROM. Keep on exploring different choices, even though previous one is stable and absolutely no issues.

The reason for my questioning was not to avoid clean wipe install. Just to know, whether I was missing any trivial step to restore complete settings of previous ROM , all these days. From the answer I got, I AM NOT. And with that, I continue to reflash now :D

I will go to some other ROM and soon come back to the latest release of task.
