I do love the rom, but I seemed to have been getting better battery life with beans r6 (not entirely sure if it was because of custom kernal or not, havnt tried it yet on synergy). My phone seems to be draining more battery at idle than beans. I went from 94% to 93% in about 2.5-3 hours yesterday. This seems to be draining 10% an hour asleep now with synergy.

Not bashing on the rom, it is great by all means. I might try the custom kernal and see if that improves it some. Anyone else have any tips for some great battery life?

How did you get it to back out of Google now? I still can't :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
WOW, did not think about that. just set the home button to do a search with the home button. Works the same with Nova. Sweet catch!

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

Hitting back to get out of voice search. The only way to exit Now is press the home key.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
I just pressed the back button, nothing special on my end....Did you use the same shortcut that I showed in the video?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] UWRF:
Anyway to remove the brightness slider?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
?? Back key works fine for me (shows me hitting the back key in the video)...weird. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
I think we are talking about two different things. Google Now, is the substitute home screen, that show weather and travel info, voice search is just the question machine.

If I launch Google Now, I cannot hit back to exit, I have to hit the home key. Are you saying in Google Now (the app not the voice search) you can hit back and it will exit?

It did not even do that in 1.4 for me.

Edit: Saw you post, yes, back key works in Voice Search, but Not in the actual Google Now Start screen replacement. I think that is were people are confusing the two.

I've used the voice dialer.apk from another ICS rom since I've had this phone. It is far superior than S voice and Google now ATM. PM me an I'll send you the APK. You can install using Astro or another file management program

Last several tests done on 1.5 with anywhere from 3 to full bars in 4G. Is this in line with what others are getting? Is it in line with stock speeds? Not sure it matters but I have unlimited data grandfathered.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Stock theme available?

While I appreciate the time and effort the OP went into making v1.5 as great as it is, I prefer the stock TouchWiz look and feel. I especially do not like having 1% battery icons because makes me start to obsess about battery life.

I was going to pull over the stock icons, but there are 100 v1.5 battery icons and like 5 stock battery icons (hence the 1% icon).

Has anyone put together a stock theme compatible with v1.5?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
You are correct....I knew about both....but kinda like Google Nav is sometimes call Google Maps because they integrate with each other....I just called the Search Google Now since both are used together.

Delicate Donut asked how did I back out of Google Now...and since in my video I only use the Google (Now) search and not the other (cards) one....that is what I thought he was referring too. ;)

One observation I made about idle battery life...

Typically I loose about 5% overnight. Recently I lost 10-15%. Opened the task manager (hold down home button, select task manager) and noticed Chrome was running the entire time. Looked at battery use and Chrome was very high.

So just a note, you may want to kill Chrome if you're not using it. It seems to consume a lot of battery even if sitting idle.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Glasairmell:
Hi,

Yes, you are receiving weak signal for data. On my remote ranch location in New Mexico with the VZW S3 I was getting - 91 dBm and I considered it a bare minimum. For that location I purchased:

http://www.alternativewireless.com/wilson-sleek-4g-v-signal-booster-verizon.html

and my dBm dropped to - 75 dBm which is acceptable for faster data speeds. With the Wilson Trucker Ant it dropped further to - 61 dBm. When you get over 95 dBm your data speed could be suffering. The higher the dBm (we are in negatives here) the better the signal for data and of course voice.

Regards!

I'm working on a fix for GPS. Even though I don't use it that much, it's still annoying seeing the weather in the 60s when its like 115 out ...

Btw great job on 1.5 wallet. Bought my lunch with that today :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] t0adman:
Very helpful reply - thank you! I'll be sure to check the dBm when I do my data speed checks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
So even the location for weather is off for you? Very unusual that some of us are having problems while others are not. Baseband related perhaps?

All my location based apps think I'm in N. Carolina until I step outside for ten minutes, then it finds me in NY. When I reboot, same thing happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
anyone that is having the location issues...are you also using a custom kernel by chance? Has anyone noticed if after installing a custom kernel the gps issues go away? One thing I've noticed is if I uncheck standalone gps and use verizon wireless and google services i locate fine

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] acetkbez:
do i just flash this or do i need to wipe cache/dalvik and system etc?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
I'm pretty sure it does buuut....does reinstalling 1.5 or any version of the synergy roms wipe out a custom rom? Aka I installed 1.5, then installed the recent beta...then reinstalled 1.5 (wiping data/cache each time).....that should bring me back to non kexec rom correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] supercell2000:
I odined back to stock and I'm no longer in N. Carolina
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Glasairmell:
Lol yeah, even though S3 is not my primary navigation device it is odd to see my plane over one part of the country when I am in another part flying along. The problem is intermittent for me and have not seen a trend for the problem yet.

A fix will be greatly appreciated. The S3 does have a fine GPS out of the box.

Be Safe!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
What beta? Cyanogen? AOKP? If so, you should do a full wipe when going from an AOSP (CM9/CM10/AOKP) to any Touch Whiz ROM. Actually anytime you jump ROMs you should wipe but ESPECIALLY in this case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
let me rephrase that....installed synergy 1.5 then installed lean kernel beta .01 then installed synergy 1.5 rom.....so if I'm correct I went (kernel wise) from stock kernel aka synergy rom to lean kernel then back to stock kernel or whatever kernel synergy uses? Does the rom contain the kernel (as opposed to the rom NOT containing the radio)?

Hotspot Toggle

Just wanted to chime in on the hotspot toggle.

Its already been documented that there are several widgets on the market that can activate the hotspot and bypass verizons account check.

If the power options toggle uses a similar method if would also work, this makes perfect sense. No hacking is required.

This just shows that verizons account check is itself a simple hack, instead of starting the hotspot it starts the account check, then the account check starts the hotspot. The widgets just start the hotspot directly. Just except that it works and be happy with it.

On another note, I have a couple requests.

Can we get rid of the transparent background on the notifications pull down?

Is it possible to add a volume up to take pictures option to the camera?

Is it possible to add the share image option to the browser?

Love the ROM, I updated by modems when it was re-based on the latest OTA and haven't had any issues.

Thanks for all the hard work.

synergy 1.5 is just a ROM, no kernel. If you wipe and install 1.5 you should be on stock kernel

Those that are having GPS issues and are willing, do a full wipe in recovery then flash 1.5 again and then immediately after (before booting up the first time) flash the zip I posted above. Then boot the ROM for the first time. Let me know if that works.

Running the kick ass Synergy 1.5 with lean kernel 12-2, aosp apps, and locked bootloader.. F u verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Let me explain to some who are confused (and PM'd me) why the GPS on the maps is more accurate than that of the Navigation...

When you're using the Maps application it utilizes the VZW location services and Google Location Services, when you're using something that purely uses the GPS, then it uses the Standalone GPS services. Navigation and Weather apps are a few that use it pure.

So for those of you who say it's working on their maps and stuff, can you please turn your WiFi, VZW location services, and Google location services off and tell me if it still works for you when you load maps or something? I want to try and eliminate causes for this bug >.<

I really like 1.5 but sometimes (since I have no sense of navigation myself) I like to go to my friends houses and I need Navigation (LOL) and sometimes I like to check out the weather (for Glendale, AZ, not Meeker, CO).

You have WiFi on (and probably the other Location Services I mentioned above).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Exactly. The GPS doesn't work. The other services are what are getting you a lock-on, not the GPS.

Just to chime in on the GPS issue:

Synergy 1.5 installed over 1.4 after wiping everything

JB Keyboard Fix

Imoseyon v0.1 kernel

CPU Sleeper Script

Baseband: I535VRLG1

Hardware: I535.10

On the bottom floor of a two story office building...

When I disable all location except Standalone GPS and open Maps, it says location temporarily unavailable. After about 30-45 seconds, it finds my location and it's dead-on accurate.

Ulysse Gizmos shows 10 sats available, 8 connected. Error(m) 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Alright I was finally able to replicate the GPS issue on my end and so I think I now have a fix. Last build showed me in Meeker like a lot of you, then I just flashed this from a full wipe and my location pulled up immediately and I had locked onto 11 sats before GPS Test even got past the splash screen on standalone GPS only.

Bad news is those of you experiencing the issue will need to do a full wipe :( Don't worry, I'm in this group with you guys :p

Those who want to test: Reboot into recovery, do a full wipe (cache, data, system, etc) and then reflash 1.5 and then flash the fix below right after (before booting up for the first time)

Anyone having any issues with no signal? I flashed the newest build and I cannot get a signal at all. I flashed using the kexc recovery, could this be the culprit?
