This is just a shot in the dark, but im starting to wonder if the battery life might have anything to do with summer heat (phone stays warm/hot and not runs efficiently? This assumes you reside in the US where its been quite hotter than usual in the whole country, but im also unaware of the weather in other parts of the world right now, pardon my ignorance). I'm sure there are a number of software things that are affecting it too, especially the kernels, but it seems that my phone has been draining faster on hotter days in my pocket than sitting at home in the evenings fiddling with it when the temps calmed down. Just a random idea from the peanut gallery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] edif30:
Flashed invisible 8-20 and breaks phone # and MIN on boot. Back to 8-16. I will say folks... aside from minor screen flicker (fixed by disabling hw overlay in dev settings)... this version is the most stable out there.

Data is decent... MMS fixed, no reboots, maybe 1 call drop in a poor serviced area... can't really find anything wrong for a daily driver.

I tried a video chat earlier and it disconnected two times in a row but I will almost never use this. I heard Netflix doesn't work but I could care less.

Battery is great and I beat the heck out of this thing daily.

Hope this helps.

Searched and saw no mention. USB tethering works on CVCPS build from the other day. I am using it on a XP machine. I am assuming you need Samsung drivers installed as well as ADB. I know on XP you also have to run/install a remote sharing driver. I keep this on my phone/dropbox for machines that don't recognize the connection.

I live in Kansas city where its been over 100 for the past month... haven't noticed anything
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbobmd:
Eh i knew it was a stretch of the imagination, just thought I'd throw it out there. What kernel are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hero:
Does anyone have a mirror for CM9? I would be eternally grateful :) If you can provide an AOSP ICS kernel you win bonus points (I can only find JB).

Here you go:https://www.dropbox.com/s/7uh8p9ig1up3svh/cm-9-20120719-UNOFFICIAL-d2vzw.zip

This is the same one he posted. It still does the double boot thing like it's trying to use Kexec, but it works fine with TWRP. I don't know why no one has converted the stable CM9 build for the i9300 yet. CM10 is nice and all, but a bit too buggy as of yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psychedelicNerd:
Can I get a last known good CM9 Build? I know i am crazy!!!

Delete this. (I found out i was an idiot for not searching enuff.DUH)

Would you happen to have the K-Exec CM9 Recovery as well? The goo.im links are broken for it.

http://goo.im/devs/BeansTown106/SGS3vzw/cm9/d2vzw_recovery.img

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryker1297:
thanks man hopefully this one will work as the last one wouldnt boot after flashing the last zip.you rock!

update: is it normall for it to start setup on first boot? somebody please help! it's reactivating my sim card! is it possible that i shouldnt have wiped my cache and dalvik cache along with the factory wipe?

i am stuck on sim activation now!

update: sry guys i was impatient just skip the sim activation and it's all good! very stable and smooth too! but i think i'll stick with touchwiz as i love it's features! but as soon as jelly bean comes, i'm on that **** like stink on... well, ****. so yea if you own a galaxy s3 and want stock ICS i definitely would use this! hope i help those that are confused :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 760hacker:
Asside from the easier install did anything else change?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryker1297:
well, the recovery that you have to push is an updated clockworck mod kexec recovery instead of the previous kexec recovery... it makes installion easier like beanstown said...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] suzook:
i want to give this a try. Im wondering if i make a backup of my current rom, can i go back to it using the custom kexec recovery? Or do I need to go back to one of the regular ones? I want the option to use both incase i have too many bugs with CM9. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 760hacker:
SO then nothing changed with the ROM itself, just the recovery has been updated?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
yeah, just make a backup prior to doing a factory reset and flashing the cm9.zip and you can restore that if things get wonky.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryker1297:
yeah pretty much. the update made the installation a 100x easier. the earlier version bricked my phone lol but i fixed it and i have to say this one works great and installation is simple... i do recommend making a nandroid backup and titanium backup in case things go south though.

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

yes the kexec recovery is really clockworkmod but just with compatibility for locked phones such as our verizon gs3

so yes it soes everything normal clockwork mod will do... just restore by rebooting into recovery if you try but dont like this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kamokazi:
Every time I restart this version it loads up recovery and I have to reboot again from there. Is that normal and necessary to bypass the bootloader? In any case it's much easier than the one from yesterday, where I had to reinstall that zip on each boot :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdubau55:
So how is data holding out. I have read that several people started with data and then a few hours later data dropped out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesilverhawk:
Mine was working great for a few hours but has since dropped. wifi works okay
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 760hacker:
Auto Screen brightness doesn't seem to work, unless there is a trick..?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luuuuuuukee:
I think the best solution now is to just put a brightness widget in the notification drawer or enable the status bar brightness
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kamokazi:
I've been lucky so far. No issues since yesterday afternoon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cvballa3g0:
Update: This happened to me because i shutdown the phone when it was activating in CM9, I powered down the phone. You have to tap all 4 corners clockwise to skip the initial setup. or let the activation fail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ExodusC:
Yikes! I think that's the first instance of Verizon users losing their IMEIs.

I do hope that gets sorted out. I made a backup of my /efs but I'm not sure if that can restore a lost IMEI.

I think I'll just hold off until we get some more info and bug fixes pushed out.

I'll just feed my crackflashing habit by flashing my old OG Droid and Droid 2 Global.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] papi92:
How do you backup efs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesilverhawk:
What might this mean for someone already on cm9? data was working well but I since lost it. Not a huge deal because of the way i use my phone but Id hate to think that the phone is in a garbled state. i checked Verizon's website and it still listed my phone as SGS 3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] seth.i.simmons:
Well, looks like I just broke data also. Had it working perfect in CM9 up until this morning, when I could no longer get any data/voice/sms at all. Restored to my stock TW, and still dont have 4G, only roaming 3G :/ Frick. Looks like I may be making a trip to a VZW store to try and get a replacement if reflashing stock and reinitializing the SIM doesnt work.

Edit: I DO still have an IMEI though, atleast according to "Phone Info" app. But no fully working data...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesilverhawk:
Can you update with results after flashing back to stock? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] seth.i.simmons:
Will do, flashing right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cvballa3g0:
I updated my post.

In your problem, you might of had to change the network mode to lte/cdma/evdo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] seth.i.simmons:
I'll try that one, thanks! Tried a few other modes, not sure if I tried that one or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jucytec:
Restoring back to FULL STOCK from Samsung using ODIN, and performing a master reset by *2676*3855# resolves the forever roaming issue. Once placed in dialer it'll reset and you should have your 4G lte back,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesilverhawk:
Whew, so as far as we know, no chance for permanent damage from this method?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] incubus26jc:
i just made a backup of my stock rom using twrp before doing cm9. Once i tested cm9 with cwm, i simply reinstalled twrp using goo manager and then reboot to recovery, wiped and restored my backup. All is well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] papi92:
How I fixed was. Restore stock. Go into phone *#*#4636#*#* then change mode to lte/cdma
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryker1297:
yes it should reboot recovery every time you power on...

---------- Post added at 03:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 AM ----------

so guys... i have trouble purchasing from play store now, because evry time i try to get an app, it says "error your purchase could not process"...

any help would be great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Go into Settings-Applications, choose All, scroll down to and select Google Services Framework and clear data. Then go to Accounts and Sync, select your google account and uncheck/recheck Gmail. That combination seemed to have fixed the issue for me.

As for CM9, I also ran into the data problems a couple hours after install. Could make calls but no data (3G or 4G). Restored stock rooted backup and all was fine. Flashed using the updated cwm and cm9 worked fine with data after activation but didn't run it too long so not sure if data would've dropped again or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
Issue with phone dialer

This CM9 rom has the same problem as earlier versions I used on my DINC. The dial pad doesn't come up when you are trying to activate/update roaming capabilities so you have to enter *22899. In addition, I was unable to access my voice mail. For whatever reason, when I typed my passcode, it could not be understood (heard) and it kept saying please enter your passcode and finally disconnected. Anyone else having this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryker1297:
thanks man you saved my ass there!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbzcar:
AOKP has been "released" for us Verizon peeps! :victory:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30666-unofficial-aokp-d2vzw-milestone-6/

Everything works great for me, no data issues. :good:

Not sure why some people are getting them with CM9/AOKP and some aren't. :confused:

Dropping this in here instead of a new thread because it isn't my release. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cordell12:
Speaking of data, is there anyone who can/has kept active data for more than a half a day? Not sitting at home but real life going here and there. It seems to drop out and not return while traveling, for me anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] papi92:
Data goes out. This is why cm9 for siii isn't official. Its being worked on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
It's most likely because the RIL is still wonky. I'll pass until CVPCS says it's good.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 17akota:
So anyone else have troubles with the CWR 6? I can never back anything up and when i go to pick a .zip to flash i either get no files or can not mount. But then sometimes it works? :| Just wondering if anyone is having the same problem.

Right now im tring out DHackers CM10 Alpha build now. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
How stable is CM10 compared to CM9? Kind of puzzled why CM9 would still be being developed if it's superseded by CM10, which is just as compatible...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ruvort:
It felt pretty stable to me. I just think I would like to wait till Ril is completely done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
So you still get data dropping problems? I thought it's the same RIL situation for any rom, isn't it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
That would be my thoughts.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ali87va:
I really wanna flash cm10, only things that art holding me back is data not working and that little imei getting lost issue that's going around ahhh!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
What now???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ali87va:
Lol sorry, aren't the at&t and sprint phones having an issue where their imei gets wiped after flashing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
been running d2hackers cm10 for a few hours now and everything is working so far!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] incubus26jc:
Running great. JellyBean is the quickest rom ive ever ran in my life. I thought stock was fast. i cant wait to dev roms based off of 4.1.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ali87va:
You guys are getting me too excited,i'm about to make the leap!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] irish.iolar:
After Samsung releases the update that fixes the locked boot loader you think that cyanogen mod will release the official cm 10 build for Verizon? And continue to release for vzw s3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] incubus26jc:
Samsung is not going to release an update that fixes the bootloader. They are releasing a phone with an unlocked bootloader. Ours will stay locked "officially"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ali87va:
So I followed the instructions but when I reboot into recovery, its not cw, it's the stock android recovery

EDIT: Nevermind I lied,running smooth as......butter=]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
I just flashed cm10 best rom I've ever used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ali87va:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Is the camera working for you guys? I dont see it in my app drawer or system/app folder??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rehpyc:
Installing everything was easy enough, Titanium Backup restored apps beautifully, and thus far the ROM has been VERY snappy. The phone simply flies with every action.. very impressed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kameleongt:
I kept getting an error flashing c10 do I need to flash cm9 first? I went with aokp and had no issues. Really want jb from though.

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hurleyzero1:
I just installed CM10 and is working as i hoped, except one thing. I cannot change the vibration sensitivity. Does anyone know how to change it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wera750:
Cm10 is the best ROM I have ran on this phone by far. Super super fast and smooth. Data has been fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ali87va:
Cameras working perfectly here. Try doing factory data reset/wipe cache
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ali87va:
Try doing a new install,wipe data .....even remove cm9
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
I did that before flashing the rom...where im getting at is I unziped the cm10 rom, opened the system/app folder and there is no camera.apk, i even redownloaded it a couple times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] suzook:
Are there still issues with SMS/MMS with cm10?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] austin1227:
Since I have barely have experience in adb, a video guide would be very helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
So far this ROM is nothing short of amazing! But is anyone else getting really slow Play Store download speeds? I have flashed this twice with the same results.

I'm on Verizon 4G LTE in San Diego and I always get super fast speeds. It's funny because my Speed Test speeds are great, it's only the Play Store.

Anyone else? Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdubau55:
Just use terminal emulator. Start with the "su" command and go from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nick.koutrelakos:
If you're in this forum, I assume that you have some kind of passion/interest in technology beyond the "average" user. Therefore, I can safely say that I think ADB will come extremely easy to you if you just take an hour to sit down and learn about it.

This is a PC guide for easily installing and using ADB to perform common tasks with you Android phone.

This is the same kind of guide, only for Mac (OS X) users.

I think every device forum should have a sticky for ADB, as just knowing what it is and how would probably save the average XDA member more time with troubleshooting than the time spent learning ADB in the first place.

Not meaning to single you out at all, austin1227. When I got my OG Droid back in 2009, I was in the same boat. But, as I said, it's very easy to learn and use -- even just the basic functions.

Once you know a little bit about how the car works, maintenance becomes easier, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bwhite757:
In JellyBean the camera is built into the gallery app, there's not a separate apk..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdubau55:
Now on CM10 running smooth. Phone Info showed I was on CDMA/GSM while CM system settings showed LTE/CDMA. Set to LTE/ CDMA in Phone Info and 4G kicked in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ruben8448:
I flashed cm10 last night. Everything seems to be working nicely. My question is if I needed to go back to stock would it be alright to just load a backup from cwm? I read a lot about losing imei and it has me a little worried.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SightSeeker:
I flashed 10 and getting some strange data jumps. It seems to be jumping from full signal do none a lot. I assume I should have it on lte/cdma mode. I don't see one with the ev as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdubau55:
Not seeing any OC options in this kernel? That true?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bwhite757:
Although CM10 looks promising, there's still a couple quirks that are going to keep it from being my daily driver. I'll be restoring my TW Rom later tonight - Gotta get back my solid data connection for the work week. I'm very excited of the progress so far, and want to give a HUGE THANKS! to all the developers that have gotten us to this point, and will be taking us much further in the near future. What once looked like a doomed phone less than 2 weeks ago, now looks to be a promising addition to the Verizon line-up for us guys that like to tinker with our toys...

Is anyone having problems with the camera force closing after taking a picture? I'll take a picture and it seems to crash while saving the picture. Trying to open the camera again results in a "Can't connect to camera." error. The picture that it takes shows up in the gallery but, is blacked out like nothing was taken. The only way to get the camera back is to reboot the phone but, the same thing happens again when trying to take a picture.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bwhite757:
Yep, generally when using the flash....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] touretts69:
Flash on or off seems to have the same results with me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JWorth:
Yeah I'm having the same issue as well as when I open the dialer, it freezes and says contacts FC'd. My data was working before and then stopped. I restarted, didn't work, rewiped and flashed and it came back but now it's stuck on 3g and not connecting to lte
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] touretts69:
Using Phone Info from the market and changing my setting to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) fixed the 4G problem for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdubau55:
There is a mismatch happening in CM10 that's causing the issue. When I first pulled up Phone Info it was set on GSM/CDMA and CM10 was showing that it was set on LTE/CDMA. Once I set it correctly with the Phone Info app I got 4G and it has been strong since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] irish.iolar:
As of 6 days ago a bunch of sites are saying they are releasing the update, so let's just say hypothetically if they do ... will cyanogen release official cm 10 builds for Verizon? In your opinions?

Here's the article.... idk if its true there's a lot of conflicting reports...

http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2012/...pdate-to-unlock-samsung-galaxy-s3-bootloader/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] incubus26jc:
lol, you just pointed me to a link that has an update that says the articles were wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] irish.iolar:
That's just one though... there are a bunch. Why its not supposed to be happening?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] irish.iolar:
And you can still flash unofficial Cm10 builds right? So what's so bad about getting a Verizon 1, cause I got sprint right now and I got cm 10 and its amazing but sprint service sucks around here, would it be worth it to go to Verizon? Or will I not be able to flash the jb kernel for a long time and not get that butter smooth fix that makes it so good... granted I only know the basics of all this so I figured I'd ask as my days to switch services are running out, appreciate the help tho incubus
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
My cm10 install works flawlessly. We can flash custom kernels but not in the normal Way. We have a hijack method that replaces the Samsung with a cm10 kernel before booting into android. It adds 30 seconds to each boot or power off, bit other than that.

Works amazing. And im very pleased with my phone now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] m52 power!:
I followed all the instructions to a T, but am left with a phone stuck in roaming mode with NO data... I'm not a newb, been on the android developement scene since the OG dInc and never had any issues.

After I finished installing CM10/JB GAPPS, I rebooted the phone from CMW.

Phone rebooted a couple times (which I understand is normal for Kexec)

Once in android the GAPPs setup ran which I filled out accordingly (while doing this i noticed 4G icon was active)

NEVER once did I see anything about phone activating

I then went into wireless networks and selected "LTE/CDMA"

Within a few minutes there was no data, icon displayed "1x"

Decided to reboot the phone

Phone booted ot android and it displayed Enter SIM unlock code (or something to that equivalent)

Tried the default sim unlock codes, non worked of course.

Got frustrated, did a nandroid recovery (factory reset, manual system partition format before hand)

phone came back up to stock rooted TW

Now there's no SIM unlock request but it displays that it's in ROAMING mode, no data, voice goes to a VZW error recording

Now what?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] touretts69:
Does your camera work or lockup after taking a picture?

Can we get a k-exec TWRP? Clockwork is slow as hell backing up and restoring.

You need to download the Phone info app from the market and change your preferred network type to LTE/CDMA/EVDO.

I do not suggest using the mobile menu under settings in AOSP roms just yet. This same thing happened to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JWorth:
this worked at first, and then i looked back at my phone and there was no data..

edit:

I'm pretty sure i messed with the settings through the aosp settings. I'm gonna rewipe/flash again and only change the settings via phone info app

edit2:

i redownloaded the gapps. Full wiped, flashed cm10, restarted phone, wiped cache, flashed gapps, restarted phone. As of right now, camera is fully functional as well as my dialer. So far everything seems to be working, will update if anything changes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesilverhawk:
has anyone figured out to swap the internal sd and external xd mount points so the phone thinks my external card is sdcard. I have successfully done this with my galaxy note by editing the volds but I cant figure out how to do it with this phone yet. Thanks in advance,
