I've tried both stock kernel and imoseyons and both have issues with any notification light (except text messaging) where the light just stays a solid color and no longer blinks, thankfully texts don't have that issue. But i just though i'd let you know there's an issue.

After updating to 1.7 I can no longer send multi part SMS. Fails every time .I have to go back and copy paste everything and send multiple times.

Tried on WiFi 3g and 4g. Anyone else experience this? Any tips or suggestions? I'm loving this ROM but this is nuts

I was wondering what was causing my less-than-stellar battery life and finally did some investigating, because it has been noticably worse than previous builds. Android System was using 62% of my battery after about 6 hours. Screen was 2nd place with 11%...

So anyway, if anybody runs in to this problem, I found out it was /system/bin/gsiff_daemon running rampant eating up my battery. I killed it, deleted it, and have noticed no ill effects as of this posting. Honestly I don't know what its purpose is or was, but I thought I would put the word out there if it happens to anybody else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PetRiLJoe:
It was posted a few pages back but I know it's not easy to search for because no 1 is describing it well. If you search for 160 bug then you will come up with ppl talking about it. But anyway I quoted the post that you are looking. See the quote below and flash that zip over 1.7 Synergy. No wipe, clear, or anything.

Okay so with that said I want to talk about stock gallery. On 1.6 and 1.7 I was unable to upload photos from the stock gallery application to picasa. I'm willing to bet the same is true for previous versions. Is there anyway to get this working? When I tried to upload photos it comes up with the upload menu but will not show my gallery and I cannot create a new gallery nor can I upload the photos without selecting a gallery.

I just like to make use of the free photo storage available to me so I can share photos to friends easily. I did successfully send pictures from the stock gallery application by sharing to Skype but not to picasa.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
As others have said, along with myself, I see no led issues at all. I wouldn't go as far as stating that there's an "issue" otherwise everyone would be seeing the issue also....

Or maybe a few of us just got "magic" downloads:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] astrocity:
I did try to search but tapa talk just isn't as easy as the desktop version. I just flashed 1.6 and its working. Off to flash 1.7 and the fix. Will report my findings. If anything this is just more multi part split text SMS failed problem words to show in a search

Thanks a lot guys!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] B1GPUN:
I had been having that same problem on 1.6 as well -- I did a full wipe before flashing 1.7 and I am still waiting to determine if it is fixed (only been running it for a couple hours) But i did find out that it was gsiff_daemon causing massive Android System battery usage. Can anyone elaborate on what that means?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PetRiLJoe:
Yeah for sure. After I flash 1.7 I could not send a text message with more than 160 characters long. But after I flashed the zip fix located in the download link in my quote of the Dev in my last post or in the original post I was then able to send a message with more than 160 characters and it would send it as a 2 part text rather than failing to send. Good luck to you man. Glad I could help. I think this should be mentioned in the original post for it should at least be fixed in the 1.7 download for future downloads.

I am pretty sure that gsiff_daemon is associated with the motion sensor. Since the S III has so many crazy motion-related options, I wonder if this service is kept alive - consuming cpu and/or battery - even when you're not using the phone.

Try deactivating these features and see if battery life improves.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
This only happens on build 1.7. I went back to 1.6 and it didn't do it and everything is going smooth again :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RngrYogi:
Hey guys. I just wanted to report that 1.7 and the IMO .01 kernel is working perfectly. Thanks for the hard work and this amazing ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lurntospel:
This happens with me too.. but only every once in awhile. I have no idea what causes it though. Didn't see any discussion on this at all since this post. Anyone got an idea?

EDIT: Nevermind, seems to happen ALL THE TIME now rather than only once in awhile. Though I found that if you refresh Google Now after attempting to close out with the back button, it closes out. Just a few extra presses, but still a bit annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
I can't for the life of me can't get this wifi notification to go away. I've rebooted as suggested, wiped and reflashed, etc. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lurntospel:
Did you try turning the wi-fi on, rebooting, and turning it back off?

Or is a similar message present when it is on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
That didn't work, thanks for the suggestion though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
this ROM should not trip the "Custom" screen??...interesting as mine does...

1.6 and 1.7 both showed the Custom screen for me...did a full wipe before 1.6...but not 1.7...had not installed the ROM prior to 1.6

Hi i just switched from sprint to verizon and got the samsung galaxy s3 and i would like to root it but if this phone is rooted and if the hotspot is hacked will i be able to use the hotspot with out using my data? I know with sprint i had the samsung galaxy epic 4g touch and it was rooted and the hotspot was rooted and i was not using data using the hotspot. And how do i root the gs3? I would appreciate you help alot. thank you in advance.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zool4nd3r:
I just straight killed the process and deleted the file from my phone. Battery life has improved :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PetRiLJoe:
No. It still uses your data plan. If you have an unlimited data plan and are not subscribed to a tethering plan then the hack will work to your advantage.

You will not be charged for tethering. It will track your data usage just as Verizon tracks my minutes and messages even though I have unlimited.

If you, like me, are on 1 of the new shared data plans then you don't even need the hack to get mobile hotspot to work. It is actually integrated into all of the plans I believe. I think the "hack" is actually for a small amount of people still on the unlimited data plans but are not paying for tethering .

As for how to root, I found out by searching google. There are plenty of threads on this form describing exactly how to do it. You are not even trying to search. It is literally right in your face.

Mine is still showing the unlocked logo when I boot up as well. I don't really care whether it shows up or not. I just know that it DOES show up and I also read that it was not supposed to.

I'm going to keep this until I am absolutely sure it's not a feature that I want to keep. My battery life is pretty good even with it. But, good to know!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PetRiLJoe:
The only time I was ever able to hit the back button to exit Google Now was before I clicked on "I'm in" for the first time. This is kind of a shot in the dark but I personally think it might have something to do with (Google?) trying to keep the app in memory. Because pressing home does not kill the app. But who knows really? It seems to be an issue that a lot of people cannot answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
Flashed 1.7 and everything is as smooth as a babies butt. I did however come into this little problem. After switching to go launcher tapping the home button twice does not give me the option for s voice or Google now. Anyone else experiencing this?

It is no deal breaker by any means just throwing it out there in case others are experiencing the same thing.

Thanks for the great rom!!

Do you have "double tap to launch" enabled in the settings for S-voice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Taehee.:
Did you wipe before flashing? I'm not 100% sure, but what I think happened is that the default app for the double-press action is cached (if you didn't wipe).

Eschelon,

So when restoring out desktop after an update, what should we restore via tb? (can we?)

thanks!

Eschelon, will this rom ever switch to Jelly Bean?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neh4pres:
First try of this ROM made my jaw drop. Is smooth and has a great toggle area. I am missing the power saver toggle though, hope it gets added in future builds. Will be donating tonight, and I hope others do too. A dollar per person per download helps keep beer in our devs fridge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
Yes i actually did a full wipe, cache and dalvik. I then cleared cache and dalvik again prior to flashing the dark horse them. Then, I went into svoice and ggogle and cleared data as well.

nothing yet.

Thanks for the response.

This was already enabled, so I unchecked and rechecked. Funny thing is now I have more choices. Thanks for the advice.

For example. Just about 3 or so sentences.

when i updated to 1.7 y phone no longer read's music that i put on the external SD card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
You can still get the "unlocked" scsreen by running a hacked recovery. We can't really do anything about the recovery causing it, we just prevented the phone from getting it from a hacked ROM (check Phone Status in settings ;) )

If you're asking specifically if you can restore the desktop itself (widgets, icons, etc) you can, but keep an eye out for if we change SecLauncher2.apk, at which point I would suggest starting over from scratch again. You will also lose your non-Google app widgets if you ever restore desktop after a flash

EDIT: Also, yes we will move to Jelly Bean once we get a leak. I would guess we would see one during Q3, but we'll have to wait and see.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
I am having the same dimming issue. Are you using the battery saver script?

Could it have something to do with the CPU battery script and not necessarily the rom itself?

Edit... it is not the cpu battery script! Open browser, settings, brightness and colors. Should be all set.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boynamedstacy:
Let me guess, you are using the stock browser? If so go under settings and uncheck the auto dim feature. It will dim when the background is mostly white on that setting.

Edit: the setting is actually under phone settings under the display tab. Turn off auto adjust screen tone

When I had my HTC Rezound, LeeDroid Tweaks allowed for hiding of the standard or modified battery icon and allowed us to have the MIUI battery bar. Any chance we can get that on this ROM?

I asked the same a while back. Eschelon stated that they were looking into adding a form of tweaks. So it maybe on the horizon.

Hey,

Thanks to all for making this phone an absolute screamer, unbelievably fast.

I am having some minor issues;

It appears that some of the programs do not see the ext sdcard ( a 32gb Samnung, class 10)

Also,even though I have Apex as my launcher, the stock touchwiz steps in all by itself.

Any suggestions woudl be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Eschelon,

WiFi is significantly better in 1.7 (coming from 1.6). Especially on the 5 GHz band. I used to not be able to even see the 5 GHz band in parts of my house but now I get 2 bars in these areas without disconnects.

Thanks again!

Here is a direct link for anyone that is having 160 character sms text issue. Flash this through recovery and it will fix it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haza12d:
I'm having issues sending pictures through text via the Gallery/QuickPic. Whenever I select a picture from the Gallery or QuickPic and try to send it out through text, it just hangs and doesn't send it. This also happens when I use the camera and select the picture I just took from the preview window and try to share it throught the Stock Messaging App/GO SMS Pro. I have GO SMS Pro set so that the resolution of the picture (8MP) is preserved and not compressed. I also set the maximum MMS size to 5MB.

Now, when I open up the Stock Messaging App/GO SMS first and then attach a picture, both apps will compress the pic (Even though I have the settings in GO SMS to keep its original resolution) and it will send it but the quality is so bad.

I've tried restarting my phone, wiping cache/Dalvik, even doing a Factory Reset and I still have a problem sending pictures when I select them from the Gallery/QuickPic first. I know it probably doesn't sound like a big deal, but it would be nice to send a picture right after I take it without having to go through any extra steps.

Having an issue on 1.7 where my SD card unmounts and remounts about every 10 minutes. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loonyone:
Does the texting fix include an option for making the screen not come on for incoming messages? Or does anyone know how to kill that on the default texting app? I know I can do it with a third-party one like GoSMS, but I like the direct call option from the default SMS app.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Only thing the text fix does it allow for +160 character messages to be sent. We made some CSC changes in v1.7 that broke it temporarily, the fix repairs it. The screen on function is controlled by Touchwiz itself. There is not a simple toggle to shut this off if you use the stock Touchwiz SMS app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] im_on_fire:
the interesting thing is that the screen on for text notifications didn't happen for me with the first few versions of this ROM (i use a third party app) but since v1.5 or 1.6 it has started turning on even though I'm using a 3rd party. Any ideas?

though my text messaging app was updated last week. i'll do some more digging to see if that is the issue (GO sms if anyone was wondering)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] majixx11:
Hey E, I stumbled across and interesting "bug." I use droid stats to track my calls/SMS/data. I recently noticed that every time I received a text message, droidstats would track it as a phone call and an SMS message. I can't remember if this was happening in the previous build (I came from 1.3 and I didn't notice it), but I noticed it on 1.7. I thought maybe it was just the app being funky, so I backed up SMS and call log via TB, my call log was normal at this point. I then wiped everything and reloaded fresh, and when I went to load my call log from TB it inserted all my text messages as attempted phone calls. Next, I tested to see if it was actually the ROM itself so I switched to beans build 8. The problem is gone. It seems there may be something going on with the interface for SMS and calls, I'm not sure. It isn't really a big deal since it doesn't interfere with any major functions on the phone (that I have came across anyway) but just letting you know. Thanks for all your hard work!

Edit: after using beans rom for a couple hours the problem still exists so I'm not really sure what's going on here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
This function is also in stock video player/camera (if I remember correctly) but I know for sure video player. TW has brightness controls in several stock apps. When in doubt about auto brightness on stock apps, I would always recommend checking that first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NotATreoFan:
This is far from a big issue, but when I went to read an email this morning my phone put itself in landscape mode and would not come out until I rebooted. I was holding the phone in portrait mode, which makes it all the more strange.

I have not seen the Custom screen since moving to this ROM from stock rooted w/ custom boot animation. The root checkers that eschelon killed off should prevent the phone from detecting root and adding that annoying 5 second boot delay.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jaymattt:
Turn off tether and restart the app. I've had that happen to me and a restart of the tether app has always fixed it. Not guaranteeing a fix for you but it's worth a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jprow507:
Same thing happened with me except with S Voice. I opened and closed it multiple times while holding the phone in Portrait orientation but it opened in landscape. I didn't have to reboot though, I just turned off screen rotation and that fixed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] codyvance:
No go for me...

Edit: Tried again and it says unable to start hotspot, are you sure your rooted? Tethering is in unknown state, try rebooting (which I did)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] baudi11:
This happens all the time on my phone, regardless of the app and regardless of which ROM I'm using (including unrooted stock). Turning the phone off then on always fixes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
alright i did a clean install (wiped data, cache, dalvik, etc) and reinstalled the rom, MD5's matched up perfectly, and yet still the LED only flashes for messages (blue light, flashes like normal), when i get facebook message notifications its a constant pink light when i coulda sworn it flashed in 1.6, or any other notification its just a steady light. Again i reflashed, used the stock kernel to test it and still it wasn't right :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
It only flashes for native apps (text, email, missed call, etc). 3rd party apps stay solid from what I've seen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
:( i guess the app needs updating since it says in it "flash led or something" well at least now i have an answer to why it was doing that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
well i fixed it by wiping and installing flashing the pre-rooted G1+radios in ODIN...two things i could think of causing it

1. Just something wonky in the flash of Synergy 1.6 and 1.7

2. having Synergy which is based on the G1 firmware, but still having the older baseband version installed...causing a discrepency

now that im back on Syngergy 1.7 with the G1 baseband all is well...might be something to consider someone testing out...as i don't feel like wiping for the 3rd time in 24 hours ;)
