Can't select "Next" or " Manual Setup" in Other or Exchange Email...

Ok...did a search and didn't find anything on this within the thread. I'm on 1.7 coming from 1.6....did the wipe cache, and davlik cache. When I try to setup my email, I can't select the "manual" or "next" button when I finish entering my email, and passwd. I'm able to select the "next" button for the Yahoo account, but can't do it for the Exchange acct or "Others".

I've reflashed the stock exchange as well....

Any suggestions, and is anyone else having this issue?

thx in advance.....hopefully it's something simple that I'm just overlooking.

Thanks for the help but calibrating the gyroscope did not fix the issue. I am starting to think that I may have to wipe and reinstall.

I am extremely happy with this ROM, I just didn't know that I had to update CWM.

One other question that is fairly easy, but I'm not sure of the answer. Is there a way to remove WiFi from the Ongoing Notification in the status bar?

Thanks to everything that has helped me out today updating to 1.7

Am I the only one seeing more power usage with media player (LPA Player and Android media player). I've seen almost idle battery life with media playing in the background (podcasts) on previous builds but it seems to be using more than 200mA to play music with data off screen off ect.

Is there anyway to make the home screen and app screens auto-rotate into Landscape mode? Would love for this to be an option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pimpmaneaton:
I am having this issue now. Did a full wipe and install. Did you install a theme?

I installed a theme of mine I have been working on but has not caused this issue before. What is strange is the rotate button does not even light up till you roatae the phone to landscape. You can then press the button and image then rotates. While in landscape the button then grays back out and if I go back to portrait the button then illuminates and if pressed, the image will then go portrait. Very strange.

Also a gyro calibrate does not effect operation. Issue still exists.

Launched from Hot Rod running Synergy!!

I did not install a theme but this is exactly the same thing that is happening with mine. Very strange! I tried flashing over the ROM at that did not fix it. Very odd that it started out of of the blue like that!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Alien-dx11:
Before I was rooted, I used to get up to 5 hours of screen on time, but not anymore since running custom Rom. Oh well, I am happy with what I am getting. No complaints...lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
Did you have the battery saver option on? It's on by default on stock and I think if I remember correctly, is off by default on this ROM. That would make a big difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:

I use Better Battery Stats. But if you'd rather not buy that, you could go to Settings>Dev options>Check 'Show CPU usage'. If gsiff_daemon is currently running, you should see it towards the top of the list that is displayed. If it is running you could kill the process via Terminal Emulator or use an app like System Tuner.

That's interesting as my rotation issue happened right after I took some HDR photos. Re-calibrating the gyroscope worked for me, but for others it has not. Interesting find.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
Better battery stats is free for xda members. Btw, I get high gsiff_daemon usage as well. And leaving Bluetooth on is killing my battery much more than it used to (I think)

Lost my IMEI today after installing this ROM v1.7. Managed to restore that, but now I'm stuck on roaming. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
Did you flash a kernel or just the ROM? Have you ever used one of the AOSP ROM's (CM, AOKP, Paranoid, Liquid)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
I thought that can't happen on stock roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cortland1998:
No kernel flash whatsoever. I have only used this ROM. CWM for recovery. I'm not saying it specifically this ROM, I'm just letting people know to be careful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
No, I know, this is just the first instance of someone losing an IMEI from flashing a TW ROM that I'm aware of so I was a little curious as to your background.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
How can we be careful? Is there anything we can do to prevent that from happening?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cortland1998:
After installing 1.7, I made a backup of it in recovery.

I continued to use 1.7 for a few days.

Last night I decided to restore the backup that I had created. Upon rebooting, my phone had no service at all.

Did a couple more backup restores and nothing.

After all of that I decided to do some research. I came across the IMEI threads and found out via settings, that indeed my IMEI was also showing a 0.

I decided to do a restore via ODIN and go back to stock.

Later on in the evening I ending up using the tutorial for people who hadn't backed up their IMEI. I managed to inject my IMEI back into the phone.

It now has a signal, but its a constant roam.

I know this isn't the thread to be posting in, but I wanted to answer this guys question. I will continue to trouble shoot in the this thread which is about recovering IMEI and fix the roaming issue.

Those of you having battery drain issues, try this:

While you are experiencing the high battery drain from 'Android System' do the following:

adb shell

top -n 1

And then pastebin your results

EDIT: You can still do this, but we've decided to write a custom script that will tell us all the info we need to determine battery drain issues. Once it's finished we'll include in that night's build and you'll be able to run a simple command from adb shell which will take all the battery drain data and dump it into a file on your sdcard. Then you guys that want help can send them to us and we can finally pin down what the problem is that some of you are seeing :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] B_rock:
So you did a backup of 1.7 and then while still in 1.7 (a few days older) you restored back to the original 1.7 backup? Did you wipe all the cache and such? (I know you don't normally have to do this for this kind of thing but it's just good to know.)

I edited my post that is a few above yours. Many are not experiencing any negative battery issues (including myself) but some are and we would like to get this fixed for those that are having some issues.

We're in the process of writing a script that will tell us what is causing issues for some of you.

I did the typical resetting clearing dalvick etc. Nothing any different from the other times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
Reading through that imei thread makes me think you had a corrupt backup that may have caused your loss of imei when you restored it. Might not be the case but seems odd that you lost it upon backup restore. What recovery were you using so I know not to use it lol.

Sorry for the lack of details. The baseband is the modem, because the bootloader is locked you really can't have an all in 1 zip file. However on the desktop xda site ( I can't find it on the phone version) there is a thread posted by invisiblek that will just let you odin the modems. You can update to the v r a l g 1 modem, That will change your baseband version.

I hope that all makes sense I'm not as experienced as others on the site.

There's something pretty serious going on with the contact app. I have 2 sgs3's on different accounts. Both are missing contacts. I have tried custom views, custom syncs, and reflashing known good md5 checked download. Fixed permissions wiped and caches.

One phone will not even import vcards completely. It gets stuck just like titanium backup does. I have exhausted my resources trying to get ALL my numbers to show up. I'm not sure if logcating vcard import will have private information. Anyone else having this problem?

I noticed mine does this until a security warning pops up. Make sure you are not flipping past it. You may not be waiting long enough for this to pop and you are backing out or closing the app to fat to see it.

Try again but wait for a minute and sweet if you get any authorization notifications.

Not sure if this is helpful or not, because I haven't had this phone long enough to know what's considered a high battery drain. (I flashed your ROM the first day I had the phone.) I'm at 2hr on battery with 83%. I think it was about 95% when I unplugged it. All the chatter about battery life has me curious though so I tried it.

just want to give a heads up on situation with smart alert. With a complete fresh installof 1.7 and no other apps. When I attempted the smart alert test I had the same error problems.

Using clean rom 1.0 and attempting to test smart alert all worked well.

I'm not sure if synergy doesnt like my phone but smart alert just doesn't seem to work correctly.

Not sure if it matters but I'm using a 16 gb blue with the latest ota modem and stock kernel.

Two big gripes...

Not sure if these issues are with this ROM or the Galaxy S3 in general, but these are two huge issues for me at the moment:

Google+ Hangouts: It simply doesn't work. The app either freezes or crashes. I may have found a fix - disabling ad blocking. Going to test it a bit further to see if that's the issue.

Google Maps Navigation: The driving instructions always get stuck after one or two trips. It just keeps repeating the same direction over and over no matter where I am - "Merge onto the 91 East, Merge onto the 91 East", etc. The only solution I've found is to clear Maps data.

If anyone can provide any insight, I'd appreciate the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wrippel82:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SilentNN:
So this rom ran perfect since day 1 with my phone. Went 1.2 to 1.4 (with data wipe), then 1.5, 1.6, and, 1.7 (no data wipe). All versions I wiped cache and dalvic of course and also ran alongside imoseyon's without problems. This version ran perfect until today:

Battery started draining insanely fast while using the app Reddit News, phone heated up and looked like it hot booted by itself. Battery continued to drain. Took a suggestion from earlier and calibrated gyroscope to no effect. Then rebooted and everything was fine and still is. During the high drain period, checkmarking Show CPU Usage in Settings>Developer Options did show the gsiff_daemon as the process taking up all the cpu. It no longer shows up there after the reboot.

In the pictures below, the first break is the hot boot and the second is the manual reboot. I was playing music throughout most of the day even before the heavy battery drain so that also took a bit of battery life, but since music was on throughout the day, it has a relatively even effect on both normal-draining and extra-draining portions of the day. Sorry I didn't see the posts about the script until now :( but I hope this helps someone :)

Edit: screen on time is 1:50 minus the time it took for me to type this up on my phone. Much less than what 1.7 used to give me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
I'm by no means an expert here, but if I were to give my opinion, I think Google Now is the culprit of some people's battery drain. By the looks of it, gsiff_daemon is causing a lot of battery drain for some people. And if I'm not mistaken, isn't that part of Google Now?

I say this because I haven't activated Google Now on 1.7 as I find very little use for it as of now. And I never get gsiff_daemon in my cpu usage and my battery life has been superb. I went well over a day on my last charge.

Just my $.02.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sccrluk9:
I would agree with this. I used to have the high system usage some of you are seeing and I went in a turned Google Now off. I have yet to see the issue show up since.

I have yet to set up Google now and have had gsiff daemon eating up battery at seemingly random times. I did a full wipe and reinstall of 1.7 and it didn't show up for a few days then it popped back up. Bizarre. How have people killed this process and what we're the results.

Also, is there a fix for the gallery rotation bug? I know it has been mentioned but didn't see any solution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
Hmm, that's odd, it doesn't show up for me. Is it part of Google Now?

Alright guys im finally considering to root and throw this rom on. Im fully stocked and havent done anything to this device yet.

I am going to root via droidstyle's guide in the stickies. Then download EZ-Recovery for VZW GS3 in the market. Then put this rom on my sd card and flash.

Did i miss any steps? Of course i will wipe first. Thanks for all help

Sounds about like I did. I downloaded titanium backup first do I could keep my sms and apps but either way should yield a clean install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Do you have a 32GB or less sdcard? If you have a 64GB, you'll need to reformat the card as FAT32 (otherwise cwm won't see it) or put the rom .zip on the internal storage. Also prior to wiping, be sure to make a nandroid backup in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SFniner415:
So you used EZ-Recovery from the market? And also do i need anything checked before starting any of these processes(like usb debugging and unknown sources)?

I have 32gb sdcard. Bueno?

First time installing a rom and it went smoothly.

I rooted with the GS3DebugFSRoot method. I used TWRP to wipe cache/davlik and then installed Synergy.

After a reboot I'm still getting the WiFi spam. Also, the Weather Eye widget did not load after my S3 rebooted into Synergy. I uninstalled it, and then upon reinstallation it's telling me I have insufficient space. I am able to download/install any other app just fine. Any ideas? Also.. I'm getting an unlocked lock icon during boot. Should I be?

After studying up even more this whole process went smoothly. Thank you all for your informative posts/threads. :)
