Is anyone having issues with charging?

I'm switching to Ktoonsez kernel for now to see if there are any differences but I'm having major issues with charging. I'll have the phone charging over night and it'll go down in battery levels. Nothing in usage seems to be out of the ordinary. Sometimes it'll charge quickly. Other times it won't do anything. I've tried using Fast Charge but that doesn't seem to do anything

Otherwise, could it be that I may need to get a new phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nic2112:
This is NOT a Q&A thread, go ask your questions somewhere else!

Just kidding, yeah privacy guard prevents MyBackup Pro from restoring SMS/MMS too, it needs to be disabled.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyl:
I read your post on the development thread. Looks like you do not understand that development threads need troubleshooting data/logs in order to make a rom better. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arkon94:
Is anybody else's depth sensor (I think, the little red sensor at the top of the front of the phone, the 1st small black circle) always on? I'm using 7/2, and I've never noticed it always being on before. It's more easily noticeable in the dark, of course.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyl:
first circle from the right, next to the camera lens? There is no light there, it has a somewhat reddish tint but that's about it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arkon94:
First from the left, right beside the Samsung logo.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
Maybe start a thread in Q&A? I don't see what this has to do with the ROM (and if you think it's the ROM, start with a full wipe, ROM and Gapps, and nothing else - if you still think there's it's there, try a different ROM or stock). I'm not seeing it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rvash:
MMS + IG

Anyone else having problems sending MMS (stuck at "sending...") and phone reboots when taking photos with the front-facing camera in non-default camera apps (like Instagram) - Had this problem on CM10.1 as well.

Any insight would be appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Please stop with these type of posts in these threads. Its unnecessary. Unfortunately you can't seem to grasp the concept that I utilize these threads to collect data to further the development of this ROM. Its not only to the benefit of myself (I use this rom), but it benefits the users that use this rom also. Not sure why you have taken things to such a personal level. Drop it please. Thanks.

Is it okay to flash the newest gapps over the old ones or do I need to reflash everything? thank you!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
They're only apps. Flash them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
Why did the gapps package lose some apps? Namely Google Search...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Zip Question

Task,

Is there a reason I can't get apps to delete from the gapps zip? I can remove the ones I want from the ROM zip but not gapps? Not a real problem, just wondering what's the difference.

Thanks

navigation ribbon.

My Navigation Ribbon from lock screen does not direct me to the app, it just goes to home screen instead. Is it just me or it is happening to some of you guys as well? :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 78Staff:
It happened briefly after I updated to 7.9, I just deleted and recreated it and haven't seen any issue since.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tingljjdehua:
small issue about audio

it is an issue i've got into for months. if i insert the earphone and turn on the music, when somebody gives me a call, my earphone will suddenly automatically turns into almost silent and plays the ringtone with a very very low volume. Does anyone here have the same issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corythug:
Mine does that with notifications, I'm pretty sure that's how it's designed to work unless I'm misinterpretating your situation
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
Yeah, that sounds normal to me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rbedell:
I think this has to do with the safe volume headset options. Try disabling it if it bothers you. Don't blame task for your damaged headphones or loss of hearing lol. :P
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mkfryan:
Im guessing your using an adblocker, either uninstall or disable to send mms
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tingljjdehua:
yes exactly when it comes to notification, but why it's designed to work like this? i mean, the ringtone could be working at the same volume as the music playing.

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

yes, but if a phone call comes when i listen to music in noisy public area, it would be like... my earphone would suddenly, though the ringtone would be playing on at a very low volume, gets absence of any voice.due to this issue i've missed many phone calls. :confused:is there any way to settle this problem?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kostazu:
Anyone else notice a significant drop in bass over the previous version during headphone jack based music playback? (It may be back to 'normal', seemed like a big juicy boost in bass with the last version.)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaY_III:
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction on this.

Any idea on how to change how the brightness toggle works?

I would like it to cycle through a few preset values.

Something like 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% auto.

Right now tapping it brings up the brightness slider.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Its not an option as far as I know.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaY_III:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I swear that was something I could do with slimroms.....

But its been so many months since I used that ROM my memory might be a little off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Even if it was an option on that ROM, or any rom for that matter it wouldn't apply to this ROM. Different ROMs have different features. That's what makes them different.

P.S- That feature is one that originated from CM way back. Other ROMs (like slimrom) just inherited it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaY_III:
Yes I agree completely.

Sorry if I came off like I was complaining or whining for a feature.

If I want it so but I am free to do the work myself.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
I know you weren't. I didn't take it that way at all. I was just reminding that just because other ROMs have a feature doesn't mean that they all will. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] whmgreen:
I got to play with an s4 that was running tw bs today. My s3 running task's AOKP was MUCH faster from what I could tell. I can't imagine how amazing your ROM for the s4 is, it must be flying! Too bad the phone was a Verizon model or I might have acquired it.

I am really loving the new privacy features! Just when you think it can't get any better, it does!

Is it normal to look kind of funky when transitioning the rotating lockscreen when enabled? I just started using this feature for work.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stealthieone:
Does floating notifications work with this rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Its an app. Also. I've answered this multiple times in this thread. Just try it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stealthieone:
Is this it, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paranoid.halo

I'm a little confused this is the only halo app i see.... Or are you referring to a different floating notification app?

Edit..

Nevermind i searched and i see what you said previously. Please disregard
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jojo_whit3:
Does anyone remember when the last build of this ROM was that used the Linux 3.0 kernel?

I'm trying to enable the AWS band for T-Mobile on my phone using the method here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2344627. However, the script that put the USB into diagnostic mode doesn't work on the 3.4 kernel (its missing a f_acm/instances device in the file system). I really don't want to switch to Touchwiz...so I thought an older version of this ROM might be able to work with the USB script.

Thanks

Update: I checked Task's repo and it looks like 3-17 is when he switched to the 3.4 kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paluinfusion:
Does the custom boot animations from themes section get rid of that initial screen with 'fcuk' ....as well ? or just theming the later unicorn part?

If so, how do I get rid of 'fcuk' screen as well.

thx in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ian1331:
the fcuk splash screen is from the kernel. The only way to change it is to change your kernel. Keeping in mind that task only supports what he provides (his rom and his kernel).

Sent from my SGSIII on Task's AOKP

Try a new Task650 AOKP boot animation
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paluinfusion:
So there is no way to get rid of that splash screen and still be on same Kernel ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rbedell:
Correct
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikecantreed:
Make the necessary changes and compile the kernel from source. But that seems like a waste of time considering it's only visible for 3 seconds.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jlmnote:
Messaging Signature

Is the option to add a custom messaging signature available? I searched and could not see the option anywhere..maybe I overlooked something?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tingljjdehua:
same attempt here to get rid of the kernel boot animation "fcuk"... my suggestion here is, everytime task releases a new rom he uploads 2 kernel links, one with fcuk animation and another without, so more choices are available.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
I will not upload two kernels. That's a waste of my time. I would suggest to anyone that doesn't like it to look away for the 1.5 seconds that it shows.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
Lots of other ROMs. If you don't like the branding, choose another option. It's art, after all :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] houstonn:
I cannot believe the things ppl just complain about. Bootanimation? That's just weak :p I guess that's what happens when you end up with less bugs. You get other complaints lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rani9990:
Splash screen actually. It's hardly there for a second and a half or so, and some people just can never be pleased. It''s not task's problem though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dav5049915:
But what about their delicate sensibilities?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
Asked and answered - maybe time to let it go?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
Ok guys let it go. If you don't like the splash screen either use a different kernel or learn to change it yourself.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stealthieone:
Yeah but it only takes a supervisor at your job 3 seconds also... On one of those rare random reboots. I guess i understand why people would want it removed and i dont understand why it's a request/question thats met with such a response that has been given
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
Because this is not a rom forum. These roms are not made for anyone other then the dev. This is a development forum to teach people how to doc these things themselves. If your not here to learn to do it yourself then your here for the wrong reasons.

On a side note. If your messing with your device while at work you have bigger worries then the splash screen.

Wayne Tech Nexus
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stealthieone:
Man its really what ever. I'm not sure why there is a separate qa forum when people still get treated like crap.

Btw the phone was on my desk.. It rebooted on its own. So you dont even know what you're talking about.

Its just crazy how certain people here have one point of view. Forget the fact that some may find it inappropriate in certain social situations.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
The Q&A forum is for users to help each other fix issues. Nothing more.

Well if people don't like it then they are free to change it. There is plenty of info on How to do it. They can then use this site for what it is intended. To learn.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Such a response? I said its a waste of my time. And it is clearly a waste of my time considering I rarely have time for this stuff these days. Anyone can change anything they choose if they don't like it. I cannot and will not try and make everyone happy. Its not my job and that would be impossible. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Yep. There is a way. Its been answered in this thread tons of times already. Please search next time. :)

1.) Uninstall with titanium backup.

2.) Reboot

3.) Update.

4.) Done
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
Or, in the absence of TiBu, just delete the. apk from /system/app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tingljjdehua:
right, it was just a piece of advice:(

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

man, i have the exactly opinion with you... if any advice or idea about how to improve the rom cannot be reported on the development thread or q&a thread then, i mean, from where can developers like task receive reviews from users? i saw users reporting their idea about how to improve the rom several times and results for them, like "please refer to the op" "please stick to the thread" "this is a development/q&a thread and your question has nothing to do with my rom", are way too disappointed and discouraging... could it be that task himself just has declared that any review or advice is not required? anyway, such confidence is not a good news for rom users.

and i think after my reply i'll be abused or damned by task's friends and task himself will "close the thread for a little while"...:rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
You mistake this site for something it is not. The rom devs here couldn't care less about reviews. This is not a rom site for users. This is a site to help people learn to do these things on their own. You want something a certain way then make it yourself. These roms are not made for users. They are made for the dev and he decides to share. Click on my mod banner to get a better understanding.

Wayne Tech Nexus
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
You have a huge misconception - one that zelendel just answered in the last two pages. The ROM belongs to the developer. He offers it to the community as a benefit to us, and so that others can help him make it better - FOR HIM. If you have a problem with something he includes, you are welcome to download all his easily available source and compile it yourself with any changes you like. If you want to post something, it should help improve the ROM he offers, or help others use the ROM as-is. The thank-yous are nice - anything else is extraneous. If you don't like sticking to the rules set by XDA and by Task, you can try one of the many other ROMs.

Edit: Ninja'd by Zel, but it's funny how close the text matches :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
1.) I don't care about anything outside of what I provide in the OP. That includes 3rd party apps, features that break things, ect... So if that what you are referring to as users suggesting on how to improve the ROM then your idea of improving is different than mine.

2.) Helping to improve the ROM would be providing actual bug reports (logcats, last_mesg, useful info) to help with the issues at hand. I never get those around here. All I get are the "Meh phone is doing things. Please fix!!!". That doesn't do anything to help.

3.) To the rest of your post. If you don't like it, why not just use something else? There are tons of roms around here. I seriously don't understand why some have such emotional attachments to the things I post. I literally make this for myself because I like it and post it here. Sometimes with the hopes that the users will help me with the bug reports that can actually make it better. 1 out of 10 people here are the only ones that help. That's not very good odds there dude.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Thread cleaned

That is the end of this conversation

Zelendel already explained this is a development site not a support site

Task already explained if it is not included in the ROM it is not supported here

That means you are free to make a new thread in Q&A to ask about that specific issue

But there will be no more drama here

And also as Task said you are free to use something else

Thank you for your cooperation

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1weener:
You have not been around here long enough to know what TASK is about. If you were to offer up an actual improvement to the ROM, and he liked it, you can bet it would end up in the ROM. I've seen it happen plenty. So if you think that he doesn't consider what people say... your just wrong.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] andy_d0:
Hi. Did the recent update address any issues with screen battery usage? I'm asking because for the past several weeks my phone seemed like it wasn't working properly when charging. Sometimes it'll be charging over night and my battery % would still go down like 40%. Whenever I would go into the battery stats app I would see screen usage at around 60%.

Right now though it's charging normally and screen usage is much lower.

I have a new phone being sent under warranty but I'm starting to think it wasn't necessary?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
I have no clue what you are talking about. So I'm going to have to say no. I can't fix things that aren't reported or that i cant replicate. My device has always charged properly and how it should. Sounds like you might have a bad battery and/or micro USB port or something.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] andy_d0:
That's fine. I do have a new phone on the way. I was just asking just in case something did change. It could be a fluke and later it won't work properly

storage problem

I installed AOKP after a factory reset, and restored my user apps and data (not system apps or data). When I try to use the gallery or camera, I get a message "No external storage available." When I close the dialog, the app closes, so I can't get into settings.

I've tried clearing the gallery and media storage data and rebooting, and I've tried installing the JB 4.3 gallery/camera app, but the behavior is the same. I've also tried fixing permissions.

I have a similar problem with HBO GO, which says "insert SD card and try again." I cleared data and also uninstalled and reinstalled, with no change. Also, when I try to point Titanium Backup to /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup as the backup location, it says "this folder cannot be accessed."

So, I would think this is an issue with corrupted storage--probably the internal storage. However, in Root Explorer, I can see and open files on both the internal and external storage, and other apps can access them fine in either location.

Any thoughts? Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rbedell:
I think you need to logcat your issue.

It could just be a bad backup of your apps but it's always good to post a log. When in doubt, install fresh from play store to find out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rani9990:
Try to replicate the issue without any apps installed, just a clean flash.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Fully wipe your device and dont restore anything. I'm not seeing the issue and it seems as though your restore is what is screwing with things.

Anyone have a way to reset the gps ?

I continue to only get a dozen or so GPS satellites to lock, but I see 21+

I've used nv rebuild on stock to fix it. Looking for a similar solution for aokp
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rbedell:
I don't know what it is with how many satellites in the sky that you want, you only need so many and accuracy is no different and GPS takes like 2 seconds to lock. Good luck finding your solution though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 78Staff:
Three is all you need, realistically.

From the FAA...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1weener:
You can get GPS Test app from the Play Store, go to Menu/Settings in that app, and clear and then rebuild AGPS (two buttons at the top of the settings page). You should also clear data for Google Services Framework (in apps management). You ought to "see" 15 to 20 sats with the GPS Test app and lock 6 or more depending on where you are (inside, a car, a mountain top). :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] A.VOID:
Thanks. I already tried this, and it was not successful.

More sats give more pinpoint accuracy. Useful for geocaching.

Additionally, I would like to find a fix since others aren't experiencing it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Not necessarily. Also. You ever think that it's you're area right now? This seems common all over the world no matter the ROM users are running. Sometimes some satellites lock, sometimes they don't. It all depends on what's going on in the sky and the circumstances.

I would start a thread about GPS for support so you can get feedback from others not using this ROM being that it doesn't seem to be ROM related. If I walk 50 feet up the road I can lock to more satellites. It's just how it goes. ;)
