Ok, here is just a few things about infamous wifi problem... So what we know so far:

1. everything works fine with stock ICS and leaked JB

2. if you install JB and then flash CM10 wifi

may

stop working (or may not)

3. to fix it you have to flash stock rom back and then re-flash CM10.

4. some people still have problems even after pre–flashing stock ICS rom.

Was running leaked JB for a month and I just reinstalled stock ICS, checked that I connect to my wireless network, then flashed CM10, tried to connect to my main network again... without luck. BTW I have done it a few times before with same result. But then I realised what - I have two wifi routers (two networks), one is Apple Airport Extreme (primary), second one is BoB Lite Belkin router (backup). both are 802.11 b/g n-compatible, both are WPA2 configured, both have pretty same password (same combination of words and digits, same length). pretty same password except one character. is's '+' character. so on Airport Extreme two letters 't' are replaced with '+'. now guess what... I

CAN'T

connect to Extreme (where password contains '+' chars), but

CAN

connect to BoB where password is a combination of a-z characters and 0-9 digits.

Well... it's just a thought that real wifi problem (in my case) is actually somewhere in CM10 kernel and it's related to password.

Out of curiosity, which grid size are you all using? I use Nova Prime and have rolled with 8x5 (8 rows and 5 columns) since big grid options were implemented.

i have a problem that, after i made a fullwipe and reinstalled everything, i cant see all files and folders on my external sdcard @ windows7.

the second problem is that the gallery and the apollo player doenst find my mp3 and pictures at the external sdcard.

any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III General] drteletubbie:
What I am saying is that the latest nightlies seem to drain more battery compared to when I had 09/20 version. AudioOutput_2 is the big bad drainer but idk what it is???
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
That's everytime a sound is played.

If you listened to music for 2 hours, you will have 2hrs of that wakelock. If you have lockscreen sounds, it will be added to that. Afaik, that wakelock is normal (it was the same on the S2)
[Galaxy S III General] drteletubbie:
Yes, I am an avid music listener, however, AudioOut_2 seems to stretch out even after the last time I used media files with sounds. Furthermore, lockscreen sounds, touch and such are all turned off as well...

sidenote: please, enlighten my what "afaik" means xD

As far as I know haha ;)

I'm wondering if these routers have some sort of oddball "special service" that interacts with p2p in an odd way...

Google Now is a horrible battery drainer.

Yeah but the problem is you can't/should not disable it because it's quite useful.

[Galaxy S III General] ThunderWolf78:
I second that, I've installed the complete gapps package and removed all that wants to communicate freely and ask for permission, I don't have Google now at all and wouldn't install it either. Anyways, no new screen shot but android Os is has still drained the lion part during the day. 11hours and 42minutes on battery, 3hours and 14minutes screen on time which has taken 32% and android Os which has taken 22%, the next biggest after that is a social app called badoo with 12%, can't recall it has ever been this bad before. Will flash nightly 12 and keep track tomorrow...

Did anyone manage to update with Cyanogenmod updater successfully? To me the device reboots in stock recovery and aborts rom flash...
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
I got it to work. You have to have CWM as your recovery, either touch or non-touch. I use twrp now though and flash manually.
[Galaxy S III General] enomis27:
of course I have CWM v5 5.0.4.....any other suggestions? Should I install Rom Manager or do something else? CM Updater is a very useful tool...I like it very much

Update to the latest version of CWM (6.x) and it should work. Some of the non-standard versions of CWM are not sully compatible.

Just upgrade recovery to the latest version of CWM and you will be OK.

How about this? Download a nightly, click cancel when it wants to install. Then reboot into recovery manually and choose to install zip from sdcard and choose the internal and go to /sdcard/cmupdater/ and pick the nightly you downloaded.

Not enough info.

Is your phone stock samsung or did you root it and install CM10?

What model number is listed at your phone info exactly, is it GT-I9300?

Does the updater delete the zip file after the installation automatically or will i have to delete it manually still?

[Galaxy S III General] gsw2:
Just a quick question. Does the noob proof odin method install recovery/root? Also do I need to flash gapps after?

Edit: I'm a bit confused, I'm coming from the latest samsung jelly bean leak. Is the odin method the right one to use? Do I need to flash ICS first?
[Galaxy S III General] eseregin:
Better flash ICS first to enable NFC , coming from jb it will not work.

Flash ICS, turn on NFC.

After welcome flash Odin version.

Recovery and root will be installed.

Gapps flash after - not sure about it though, please see instruction in 1st post..

[Galaxy S III General] tux821:
To compare can you also post the logfile for the working configuration (the one where you rolled back the wpa supplicant change)?

Just another idea can it be something in the p2p configuration file breaking wifi (authentication) for some routers?
[Galaxy S III General] chorl:
Hello,

I'm still crashing with Chrome and CM10, and now I'm wondering if that issue is related to GPU assistance in Chrome rendering engine. That would make Chrome useless, as GPU Exynos routines are..hidden. By the way, I tried yesterday Dolphin Jetpack and it showed a lot of graphical glitches, I assume for the same reason as Chrome: GPU acceleration.

I never switched on GPU rendering on Settings->Developers, but maybe there is another place where I can disable GPU assistance in Chrome and get at least some stability, as trade-off for speed.

Any thoughts?

Can CM10 do touch to focus in﻿ video recording and also return to autofocus just like stock samsung camera does?

Would you recommend to give up my 4.1.1 custom for this?

Is the battery at least as good as stock 4.1.1 :)?

Later edit: after a few posts read, I decided to fully wipe my 4.1.1, flash stock 4.0.4, use a bit of wifi and nfc and then flash cm10.

Shall I also wipe from recovery before flashing CM10 or just leave it as it is in order to be sure that my wifi and nfc will work.

Hello,

I think it's a progressive issue, kind of memory leak...I'm surfing like a day or so without issue, but suddenly, reloading previously opened tabs, keyboard freezes, and app is unresponsive. It only happens to me in Chrome, I have no other issues with daily usage...

There are more people in thread with same issue.

Is there anything I could do for helping?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III General] kokichi3000:
On CM10 and AOKP build 4, I faced the problem with unstable WiFi. It dropped when the phone slept or after 10 mins or so. Now I tried the Siyah latest kernel with the updated Wifi driver and everything works fine now. If you got Wifi problems, try Siyah kernel or Wifi Fixer app. Hope this helps

Is there any way to make brightness work just like on stock rom. Mine is just like on galaxy nexus.

It goes brighter when I expose the phone to light but it won't go dimmer even in darkness. I have to either lock and unlock the screen or set the brightness on manual and back to auto.

Also, is anyone else experiencing laggy animations? I somehow solved it making the last two options .5x speed.

Mine is running perfect, I'm on 10/10/2012, I have no battery drain, WiFi is EXCELLENT and it runs smooth as butter (real butter and not margarine) no complaints at all.

The only problem I had is when I flashed another kernel, which ate the battery a bit quicker, so I'm back to stock cm10 kernel everything is hunky dorey

EXCELLENT ROM THANKS

It does correct the issue, but I don't like that I have to do this every time. I have the power control widget.

After seeing to camera and any other camera app stuck and fc and need reboot "can not acces camera hardware" I just restored my nandroid.

It really gets me tired. We explain the same thing for more than a year now and people still don't understand it. Its exhausting.

Battery usage stats don't mean NOTHING. They sum 100%. So if you do nothing with your phone aos will get more and more next to 100%. Don't come here with small talking about battery unless you can show me you have no wakelocks and your device drain battery hugely on deep sleep please. Otherwise is big ass bull****.
[Galaxy S III General] gsw2:
It's not bull there is definitely battery problems, I tired the polish jb leak for a week(going back to cm10 today) and it used WAY less battery then cm10. Try it for yourself.
[Galaxy S III General] louca:
I'm waiting just for a hero like you who gave me an answer like that. Right now I'm asking something different. Why, if I say that I have noticed a big change in consumption of battery, do people have to say that I'm an idiot who writes just for fun?!? If you haven't problems it does not mean that it is so for all.
[Galaxy S III General] gsw2:
People like to condescend others, it makes them feel big and smart. I wish I had taken screenshots of battery consumption/wakelocks but I didn't for see any problems.
[Galaxy S III General] sodeknetters:
If you actually have a much shorter battery life, you should first investigate why this happens. Built-in battery stats are NOT going to tell you this correctly.

Please try an app called "betterbatterystats" and do some research into how to draw conclusions from the results...
[Galaxy S III General] louca:
I'm installing it. Now battery is fully charged, I'm going to post results when it will arrive to 4%. ;)

I really like how you are saying that pretty much everybody here is an idiot. We cleary have a problem with the battery draining since approximately the 20121011 build (I'm pretty shure it wasn't there in the 20121010 build).

BetterBatteryStats is showing me pretty long kernel wakelocks from "secril_fd-interface" snf "l2_hsic" which I think wheren't there before, at least not that long.

One thing I hate about this site is everyone thinks they are gods given gift I just asked a simple question that required a yes or no not some stupid cocky answer.
[Galaxy S III General] Lownita:
So I read a lot about the Wifi/NFC problem and how to fix it. Flashing CM9 (does cm9 really flash a bootloader?) or flashing a sammy ICS Rom should do the job, since it is related to the JB bootloader that comes with sammy JB Roms. This is what I found and how I understand it.

Now I am asking myself: Why does no one upload a flashable ICS bootloader and we are all good? There was so much discussion and confusion about this.

I remember when xplodwild did it for the S2 when CM9 was released: https://twitter.com/xplodwild/status/182176035830374400

It was mentioned in this thread here that most firmwares don't include a boot.bin file and that is true.

Cheers
[Galaxy S III General] tshoulihane:
Thats one way of seeing it. Others might think you asked a question which is already asked many times in the past few pages of the thread and assume that you can't see the answer. By asking the question again, it makes searching slightly harder.

For those that are reading the majority of the posts on this thread, I can see that there is a degree of annoyance form these content free posts - and we would prefer not to annoy the devs any more than is strictly necessary...
[Galaxy S III General] eseregin:
NFC problem has nothing related with bootloader. Same Wi-Fi

NFC - new driver in JB Sammy flash to CHIP NFC new firmware, and CM10 cannot work with this new FW.

So downgrading to ICS flash (Stock Sammy, not CM9) flash old FW to chip - compat with CM10

Problem with WiFi concerning only routers ONE producer. Anyway this is regarding bad documentaed driver Wi-Fi from Sammy
