yeah same here... i cant hear the call unless i enable speaker phone.

also, it seems if i adjust the phone volume prior to placing a call, the call is routed thru the correct speaker... at least during the few times i tried it.

i'm on IMEI SV 05 - what are you guys on?

Need some help. I updated from an old version of 4.1 after a month without updating. I'm getting a few errors and i would like to restore back and try again. Either way I'm having the problem where i can't find anything in the folders. I read the information about new users and created folders. I already tried removing folders and an afraid of making more of a mess on doing so. Is there an easy way to fix this and have CWM read the correct folders. Thank you for the help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
I am NOT saying you should do this first, but once you figure it out, I'd install the current TWRP and do a nice clean install. It's much friendlier to the new screwed up folder structure Google gave us. As far as finding the files, don't remove, I'd get ES file explorer (or other) and move your ROMs etc. to something simple on the internal card until you get straightened out.

Wifi Connect Failure

Hi - just want to let you know you're not alone. I'm seeing the same issue on my ATT GS3 as well. I have tried multiple redownload/full wipe/clean cycles including reformatting internal memory. It seems like my wifi works fine for a few hours, maybe half the day, then cuts out and refuses to reconnect (despite disabling wifi, turning on airplane mode, rebooting, etc). After leaving it off for a few hours I was actually able to reconnect, but another few hours later and it failed again.

I looked at my logcat during the time that it cannot connect and am getting the same repeated wpa_supplicant lines you are where it says Trying to associate with [my router], CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT, Retrying assoc, and Authentication timed out. I'm connecting to a WPA2 Xfinity router. Other devices in the house hold connections without issue. As you said, the issue seems to have appeared since the 12/23 build. I also tried flashing the KT747 kernel just for kicks, but no dice. Cell modem works fine.

It looks pretty persistant - it keeps trying over and over ever 10 seconds.

Thanks!

Oh awesome!! haha. I was really starting to think i was the only one with this issue. I have not seen anyone else post anything about a WIFI issue. I downloaded rom 3 times. Full wipe 3 times and even tried to dirty flash from 12.23. Just will not connect. I am staying on 12.23 rom for now i guess. Nothing more i can do. I have the latest K4 modem installed as well.

I was on TWRP when I flashed, and I don't have the problem. There are a lot of emulated folders shown (in ES file explorer, for instance) but I can find my files on the internal and external card without problems. That's why I'm recommending it.

Please note that connecting to PC is a completely different issue ;)

Wifi Back?

For me this may have turned out not to be a problem with my phone, but rather with my wonderful router (or at least compatibility between the two). I'm visiting my family and everything was working fine for the first week. A day after my phone started having issues, my family's iphones all stopped connecting as well, but the laptops continued working fine.

The Xfinity router is one of those ISP-provided setups that has encryption preconfigured. I was able to get the phones working again by changing the router's encryption type from WPA2 PSK TKIP/AES to the AES-only option (back in the day I remember friends with old iphones were unable to connect to my TKIP router, so figured it was worth a shot). I'll have to find out if I can maintain the connection all day or if it will cut out again after a while.

Edit - False alarm - lost wifi connection again and it will not come back. Other devices are still functioning.

As a first try, go to Accounts and turn off all Google sync. Then go into Google Now, and turn off all the sync options there. if that helps, turn things back on one at a time and use BBS as recommended to watch drain.

Using a dlink router. I disabled super G mode, enabled auto channel scan, changed the cipher type from TKIP to AUTO. Connected right away for me now. Hope this helps you out.

P.S. Not sure if you have to change the TKIP to AUTO. I just made all those changes all at once and it worked. Cheers

Another Wifi Solution

Thanks, mine's been working last night with another tweak - I changed the router from Auto channel to a fixed channel number, and that seems to have worked. Also, updated to Task's 1/4 version and it's still running great (good bit longer than I'd been holding a connection before).

I think I'll chalk this one up to a crummy router. The rom is full of awesome :)

Weird Data Issues

Hello!

I didn't see this posted in here, and maybe it's just such general knowledge that it goes without saying, but today I installed Task's ROM from stock, everything went smooth. Once I rebooted after Google Play calmed down from restoring my applications I had the following errors:

Could get online, but Chrome did not pick up my bookmarks

Could get online with most applications

Could not get online with facebook

Google Play almost immediately went to No Connection "Retry"

Gmail would not connect

Google Now would not connect

Also forgot to mention 4G showed but the signal bar never went "blue" it was grey.

After hours of cursing and swearing I noticed in the Good App (have to use it for work) that it stated it had been connected since 1/6/1970. I enabled automatic date and time and now everything works like a charm (Settings > Date & time > Automatic date & time).

Again I know this is probably a n00b thing to of been tripped on, but I thought I'd share in case anyone else was stupid like me :cool:

The ROM rules.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
None of this is any problem with the ROM. It's a problem with you not performing a full wipe and following this installation instructions that are in the OP of the ROM thread. Everything that you say isn't working, works just fine for me and for everyone else. As far as i know as you are the only one to report this out of over 7000 downloads. You need to follow every step of the installation instructions.

I know it's not, I actually did fully wipe, even formatted the internal storage. I was just trying to post the issues I had and what the resolution ended up being in case anyone else had what I had happen.

It's weird those I never had the time revert to 1970 on other installs of this ROM, but then again I'd never formatted the system data (always just cleared cache, davilak, and factory reset).

Anyway, sorry if it seemed like I was blaming the ROM, again just wanted to help anyone out that would be stuck like I was. Just trying to help (apparently unsuccessfully)...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Ahhh... I definitely sounded like you were have all those issues with the rom. Not like how you are explaining it now. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zosman:
No problem :highfive:

Once I fixed my date issue everything worked perfectly. I was actually concerned I'd have to go back to stock until I found the date was hosed.

I just listed out the symptoms in case someone searches for the issues I had anyway (those were the things I tried searching for in this thread and the OP thread and couldn't find anything on).

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidJiuJitsu:
Hi Everyone,

I've switched over to Tasks ROM sometime ago and have been religious with reading up on bugs and problems people have been having. I'm currently running the latest 1/4/13 release.

Just to get this out of the way, I do all steps in the flashing process for every ROM that Task releases. I think I may have dirty flashed once (if anyone goes post checking), but that was early in my flashing experiences.

I've always thought that my GPS was working because I had it clicked off to use the WiFi and cell signal when possible. Playing around with GPS test apps, I discovered that my GPS is actually not connecting to any satellites.

Reading through everything, I've come to the realization that this is the result of an early TW ROM that I had flashed. I've tried clearing data and the various reboot, clear data in the Google services and maps methods. Even went as far as flashing the different agps fixes. I would post a link to the different threads, but don't that have them handy right now on my phone.

In the q&a it says that in order to get the GPS back up and running, I have to flash back to the stock ROM and then return to this one.

My main question is, do I have to flash it through Odin with the prerooted stock ROM or is there a way to just flash it back to stock using CWM and then reflash Task 4.2.1 back on?

If anyone is interested, I'm on Rogers.

Does anyone know why the TW ROM messes with the GPS like this when moving to AOKP?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BrownDevil:
I came from TW to this ROM and have had zero issues with GPS. I'm also with Rogers. I believe the TW GPS issues were in regards to T-Mobile (might be wrong).

Have you tried clearing app data for Maps?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidJiuJitsu:
Yeah, I've tried clearing the data in all the different apps. The first ROM that I flashed was a tmobile variant of TW from DG. Didn't notice the GPS problem until a couple of days ago and have been trying different things to fix it since. Not having too much luck though.

Just installed 1/4 and get reboots

I have not been able to run any of the 4.2 releases due to this

The phone seems fine, but will reboot after various spans of time

no pattern I can see

I always fact/reset, format system, clear dalvik/cache, flash 4.2, flash gapps, fact/reset, clear dalvik/cache

so there is no old stuff

this time I just let the phone sit after flashing/booting, and it rebooted

please help me to help figure out why I cant use 4.2
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidJiuJitsu:
I don't think that you need to do a factory reset and clear cache/dalvik after you have flashed the ROM and gapps. I'm not sure if that is your problem, but try flashing with out the factory reset and clearing afterwards.

Have you checked your APN settings? I noticed this ROM added another APN setting. Not sure if it was actually because of this ROM, but it is there now, lol. The new one that was added is Rogers #1 and I was having difficult with sending message and data. I switched it back to Rogers LTE and everything started working again. You may want to give that a try.

If all that doesn't work, try to download the ROM again and flash er' again. I know it sounds redundant, but sometimes it takes a couple of downloads and flashes to get things running properly.

I'm still fiddling with my GPS trying to get it working again. The ROM is just to BOSS to care about GPS as much as I should.

2. Is there a good thread on what the correct structure should be for the 4.2.1 system? I have been on 4.1.2 and went to 4.2.1. So, I have several locations for media files, pics etc. I'd like to clean it all up and get it in the right folders for 4.2.1 but am not sure which structure it is using.
