Has anyone been having 4g issues? I usually get 4g. All was good on v1.2. I jumped to 1.6 and have been having horrible data connection where I normally had great network connection. Any ideas?

Switched over to CWM and did a test backup and restore with no issues. This bums me out because I have been loving me some TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sccrluk9:
So an update with my very high Android System issue.

As I said earlier I unfroze all my apps and wiped Dalvik which fixed the issue I was seeing. Like others have said when I first put 1.6 on I did a clean install from stock and only restored user apps.

Throughout the day I have refrozen all the apps I had before and have not had the issue come back (currently at 88% with 9 1/2 hours on, just over 1hr screen on time). So if any other people are seeing this issue you can also try these steps if you dont want to completely start from stock again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] racinwarrior:
You guys with battery problems need to wipe and reinstall or something.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jenol:
I agree no issues here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] greevedogg:
The wakelock battery drains I was having was coming from One More Clock Widget Free, which is weird because I was running the same setup with 1.3 and I wasn't having those problems associated with that widget.:confused:

I did a full wipe when updating to 1.6, but I did restore apps from TiBU, so that may have had something to do with it...

I knew the wakelock battery drains weren't specifically ROM-related, but thought it might have something to do with the change in the base and certain files not playing nice coming from a restore...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvaderx:
So a few notable changes were the addition of google now and JB keyboard.

I noticed that my wakelocks are extremely high with google maps, I wonder if this is because google now is using it?

given that most people didn't seem to have these high android system issues pre-GN, i'm wondering if it's because the JB apps were added to ICS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k0t0g:
I'm happy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
OK. So it's not the rom that is causing your battery issues. Maybe start a new thread in general regarding battery life? Not trying to he a d***, but the last 6 pages are regarding battery life/wake lock issues. This thread is for synergy rom, which isn't the cause of your issues. \rant

And yes, Google now is going to use more battery as it's constantly monitoring your phone. But some of the battery drains being reported here are quite excessive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] robpet2:
yeah i think im gonna do a factory wipe, and then reflash this rom again.. something is killing my battery i think..

a lot of wakelocks off and on.. i cant get past 13hrs w/ 2hrs.. i had better before but its getting worse by the day, so it must be an app milking the battery...

rom is running butter smooth though, no issues with GPS, or anything, but i would trade better battery with worse gps anyday.. lol...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slvfox:
First thing I did after flashing 1.6 was open maps. Found me almost instantly. While driving today in a city I was unfamiliar with, I took a wrong turn and got lost. I opened navigation for directions and was locked on my location as soon as I opened the app. GPS works great for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alexcolodner:
This rom has been great! Everything works fine except GPS. I am still having GPS issues. goo.im is down, possibly through tomorrow so I cannot flash back to stock modem. I have a long drive tomorrow, so if anybody has the I535VRLG1 modem file could they post it? Flashing stock image through Odin does not solve this. Hoping the modem file will.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xraytedjim:
Anyone have this problem?? Lately, every time I start playing videos that I have taken that are stored on the SD card, after the 2nd or 3rd video played my whole phone locks up and I get this screen (attached) The only way to get it back is to battery pull. Any ideas?? Only started with 1.6.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
I just tried it and got the same thing.

Funny thing is, I was wondering what the hell my son was doing to my phone to freeze it up. Now I know..lol.

Edit.. it only does this with the stock video player. I just watched 5 straight videos with MX video player without a hitch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] websterzx10r1:
My Evo 3d use to do that on MIUI never figured out what it was that was causing this. It was just that one game i uninstalled and reinstalled and still same results as of now i have no problems playing the game on my sg3.

Not video games. Videos that you film with the camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryker1297:
same here man. asked if jellybomb was compatible with 1.6 AFTER searching for an answer and there was none. so i said screw it and i flashed jellybomb on synergy 1.6. ended up soft-bricked because the so-called "moderators" tried to "help" and delete my question. the mods of this thread need to calm down. all they are doing is making things troublesome for people who simply want and cant find information for the situation they are in. luckily i managed to unbrick my s3 after 2 hours of frustration. man i feel the hate coming already -_-
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] websterzx10r1:
Sorry about that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryker1297:
also, what is this about premium/paid roms i'm hearing of?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
Lol. No worries
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
I don't know where you guys get some of this stuff :p

I never said anything about premium or paid ROMs. All I said was we were going to open up our repo logs so that you guys can see our commits live (think of it as an instant changelog that you can keep up on daily) and that we were going to start nightly builds (which means that every night a build automatically compiles with the changes we made to the ROM that day)

:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] baudi11:
Can you tell us a little about your nightly builds? I think we're used to the "no guarantees" aspect of this work, but will the nightly builds have less scrutiny than your 1.x releases? Will you still do 1.x releases?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
The entire SynergyROM essentially exists up in the cloud in our SVN repo. We can push and pull changes to and from it (called commits) anytime we want.

For example, let's say that today I added a new feature to the ROM (like double tap to launch GNow) and I pushed this commit to the repo. Then each night our buildbox will automatically pack the ROM up and include our new changes and then upload it to the download site for you. You will be able to see our commits that we make each day (track the new features we add and bugs we fix) and then download a new build of the ROM each day that includes the new changes.

You no longer have to wait for me to release a new build and give you a changelog, you can just download the new build every day and follow our commits as we make them. Tonight's build will be the last one following the 1.x model, after that each build will have the revision (commit) number, such as SyerngyROM_r22.zip (this means that the nightly build includes all changes up through commit number 22 on our repo) :)

Since I am running imoseyon's custom kernel will I suffer any repercussions from flashing synergy updates? Basically worried about having to reflash my kernel every time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
That sounds fantastic... thanks .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chip594:
From my understanding, I believe you will have to reflash your kernel every time you flash a synergy update. Since synergy goes back to the stock kernel

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k0t0g:
So true.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xraytedjim:
I thought Synergy didn't touch anything with the kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
it flashes the stock kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Once Ziggy's Kernel get's incorporated you guys won't want Imoseyon's :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
At that point we'll likely compile two builds each day: one kexec with a ZiggyX kernel, one without. That way people can flash whichever they want

That is, unless the bootloader gets unlocked :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cmotion:
Was just wondering if the Mods posted in OP are compatible with each version of the Rom. Absolutely loving Synergy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Until tonight's build. We'll have it finished in a couple hours, but it completely changes framework-res and twframework-res. So I'll have to re-make those again :(

They'll still work, but you'll lose some of the mods that we'll be adding in v1.7 until I get those flashables in the OP patched (which won't be tonight, I'm pwn3d)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cmotion:
Sounds good. Looking forward to it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
i doubt this would make it into a fix for tonight...but its probably something so easy to miss that i can totally see how it was overlooked...its no bug or anything, but i know if i was creating a ROM it would bug me...

but it seems that the stock video player pulls its .png's for the battery meter from somewhere else other than the normal notification bar as you can see here...

its the same in both landscape and portrait...

also, while i have your attention if im understanding things correctly...if i want to test out say Imoseyon's kernel on 1.6..

1. Install EZ-Recovery (already done)

2. Flash CWM 6.0.1.0 (already done)

3. Download kernel to SD

4. Flash in recovery

5. enjoy

also, big props for sorting out the issue with Plume for me! thanks a bunch again

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
v1.7 - Full wipe is only required for those having GPS issues or those coming from any build before 1.4. Everyone else should wipe cache and dalvik.

Changelog:

Double tap of home button now launches your choice of Google Now voice search or S Voice (if you aren’t wiping then you’ll need to clear app defaults in app settings)

No more fugly Gingerbread green checks, dots, sliders, etc (HUGE thanks to our boy santod040, whom many of you may remember from WinMo – Cookie Home Tab ring bells for you WinMo vets out there? – we love have ya around santod :) )

Added new settings to SMS/MMS (delayed/scheduled sending, repeat alerts, read reports, forward info, msg priority, signature, etc)

Added ability to block individual numbers from calling and/or sending texts

Added new settings to Contacts (import/export/backup)

Added other misc minor settings to Calendar and Email

Attempt to fix some WiFi issues

Google apps updated

Some system libs updated

Other bug fixes

Download here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/Team_Synergy/Galaxy_S3/Verizon/RLS/

This ROM is still all stock GPS. If you are having GPS issues then as I've said before, flash back to stock, then re-root, then flash Synergy again. You can also use an app like GPS Status or GPS Test to re-sync your A-GPS data

Same with WiFi. Try flashing stock then back to Synergy again if you are having issues.

:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
YESSSS!!!!!!!

Is this the location that the "nightly" builds will always be in? I know I'm jumping the gun with that question as you'll probably have it in OP in about five minutes.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Nightlies will be in a different folder. I'll link you guys to it when we go live.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] therobzilla:
OK,

I did some working on this, and Odin back to bloated stock factory setting, unrooted, setup my corporate email setting and then synced. The folders on my desktop now match the folder on my phone, great thing. However somewhere during the rooting/flashing of rom, the Exchange Back To Stock flash got broken. Could have been me, could have been something else, but it got caught up in the flashing and did not work right.

I'm going to test each step, I'm going to root, and then flash the back to stock mod, then i'm going to flash 1.6 and then flash back to stock mod and see if everything stays the same.

I will check it along the way and see if anything changes.

Rob
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Good luck :)

That return to stock exchange should work on any version of this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] therobzilla:
Is there any specific task associated with the flash, like needing to wipe before it's flashed and or after it's flashed, or just flash it?

Im going to need some luck, i'm back to stock unrooted... I have to make sure the rooted exchange works or I have to stay stock, the exchange server is what our IT guys are screaming to use and won't accept anything else....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blu3flam3:
does the google wallet for 1.6 version work on 1.7? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jurassitol:
Just loaded up 1.7, coming from 1.6. I have seen a full extra bar of 4G and here is the proof.

I still get the wi-fi notification popup when opening a high-data usage app like Chrome, YouTube, Netflix, Play Store, etc. The wifi in the dropdown is gone from the start, unless I just rebooted without looking :) Dalvik and cache partion cleared between roms, 1.6 was a clean wipe install with no Titanium Backup restores of system apps. Once the popup is closed out, it does not reappear until reboot.

I'm going to stay with stock kernel for a few days to test stability, but so far its working like a true champ. Thanks so much devs, you guys are blowing my mind :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mercuie:
Did you do something to make the rom run faster? Upgrading from 1.6 to 1.7 and everything is running smoother, even my data speeds are faster (which could totally be on verizons end). Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, right? Anywho, thanks much team.

Agree that this seems real smooth. Was loving 1.6 so much I almost passed this update by. Glad I didn't. Excellent work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tedkord:
Don't be so sure. Imo's lean kernel on the Thunderbolt had it all over Ziggy's. Better battery, no lag (Ziggy's lagged a lot, especially with the ironically named lagfree governor) and better overall performance. Ziggy's last version (or at least the last one I saw before I left the Thunderbolt) got better, but still wasn't as good as Imo's.

Off course, that was my phone. Others preferred Ziggy's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] therobzilla:
I'm with Tedkord, I was running ziggys kernel on my tbolt and that thing just screamed..........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] robpet2:
I think I narrowed down what kills the battery so fast on this rom, and it's more app related with settings.

Last night I killed a few options, let the battery run all the way down to 4%.. ALSO - WIPED CACHE, WIPED DALVIK CACHE IN CWM, rebooted after it recharged to 100%

1. I logged out of Latitude - it seems this killed a lot of the wake time, and I can tell with the battery options in standard settings.

2. Turned off Stand Alone Gps option in Location Services.

Last night I didn't charge the phone and woke up this morning and still had over 85% battery.

Before turning off latitude and gps setting

AFTER.

Going to flash 1.7 in a few.. But it looks like latitude is one of the biggest killers..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tgearhar:
Just an FYI, nothing major but I did a complete wipe, installed 1.7 and then restarted before signing in or anything and I see the "ongoing" wifi notification in the drop down. I'll try wiping/flashing again and see if it takes it away.

Edit - Flashed again and it was still there so I figured I'd just live with it. I then proceeded to wipe cache/dalvik and flash the latest IMO kernel and it is now gone. Thanks for all the awesome work on this great rom!!

Or just manually do it. The process isn't that hard. I don't want to take anything away from StrumerJohn, who created the GW mod for SynergyROM. I'm sure it works just fine. The thing is, he's always got to release a new version with each release of Synergy. Some people may still find it easier, which is fine.

HERE is the thread if you manually want to install GW onto your phone. Just make sure you use Root Explorer. If you don't have it, I suggest just using the mod StrumerJohn created. Just make sure you use the correct one for the proper version, as codyvance stated.

What bug is this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] robpet2:
messages that are over 160 characters wont send ( show failed )
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] silver04v:
On this note, today I woke up and when I unplugged it dropped to 99 immediately. I find this odd since it has always stayed at 100 when unplugged at first. Even yesterday on 1.6 it stayed on 100 when I unplugged it. Is this a bug of sorts? Usually it stays at 100 for quite some time after unplugging in the morning. I've plugged it back in and yet it won't reach the point where it says charged, on the lock screen, it just says 100 charging. It has always reached charged before. I'm on 1.6

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
Well I had a real interesting experience last night. Running Syn1.6 and IMO .1.

1. I tried to send an MMS and the SMS app hung. Google asked wait or end process, so I tried wait a few times but after 15 minutes used end process.

2. The phone then completely hung for about a minute, and then took me to the home screen. When I went back into the SMS app, all of my text messages were gone except the thread I was sending the MMS in.

3. I tried to restore them from TB (using the Restore from XML process, not the Apps and Settings process) and TB immediately says "Restore failed - unable to complete the process."

4. Tried to delete the one thread that was there and even though I can long press and choose delete, it will not delete.

5. Tried multiple XML backup files, none work.

6. I rebooted, issue persists. I cleared data for the SMS app, but still can't restore.

7. I reinstalled TB, same issue. Cleared Cache and Dalvik and fixed perms in Recovery, still can't restore.

in I'm hoping the flash to 1.7 is going to fix it. I'll report back.

---Update---

The flash to 1.7 fixed the issue, I am able to restore my messages now. I'd still like to know how they all got wiped though. I also noticed my call log had been wiped as well.

I can also confirm the 160+ character sms bug. Other than that the rom seems flawless and is very responsive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
eschelon, I was just curious about your stance on odex vs deodex roms. I see some devs who seem to be in the minority that prefer odex roms. What is your opinion?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afmracer6:
Its in rootz gs3 dev section
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Deodex is easier to dev. Plus there is some data that suggests that odex only offers first boot performance to a point, and that it fragments dalvik-cache
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gowansta:
I used the zip and it works just fine. I do not devlope at all but have an elevated

idea of how to do some of this. Compairing the files from 1.4 - 1.6 leave me with little differences. Build.prop is only so you can install and get it running , u should change it back once finished. Just thought you should know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
Thanks for the reply! Your rom is amazing by the way, I was just curious.
