CONSPIRACY!! Call Mel Gibson!!

Slow going reflashing with kidsall over while making dinner. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luthi3n:
So I just reflashed 1.5 after a clean wipe and did the third GPS fix right after and still the same thing. Maybe someone else had more luck?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] supercell2000:
This didn't work, my phone still thinks it's in Creedmoor, NC. Good thing I'm not, the weather app says severe thunderstorms moved through.

Change APN for global usage

Hi

Does this ROM by chance expose any APN settings? The phone already can connect to worldwide GSM networks just by using phone info and putting it in global mode, but the data is the problem since the stock rom does not expose the ability to alter the APNs.

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
Ive been following the same steps each test.

All 3 location options on, check maps, check navi, check gps test.

Now after test #3 i get zoomed onto my location, says new york, ny like it should, and when going to navi, it no longer focuses on the woods, but instead focuses onto the location where i am BUT seems to take a bit trying to actually get a solid lock. Not sure if its just my location or what.

I'm waiting for my phone to charge a bit more at which point ill odin back to stock and run the same exact tests

Is it possible some data is still preserved on the phone or sd card and not wiped when we do the wipe in recovery?

Any chance of a 'screen off' toggle? If not, anyone got any of the screen off market apps to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zool4nd3r:
Anybody having problems with their home button working? I was on 1.3 for a week or so and it worked great until one day the home button just stopped working when operating the phone. It will turn the screen on, but nothing besides that. I tried 1.4 when it was released and it worked fine until the first reboot, went right back to the same problem. I know this is really strange, any ideas guys? This is the only reason keeping me from going to 1.5. Running Paranoid Android for the time being instead.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Ok the latest fix doesn't tag me in Colorado like before, but now get's stuck Searching for GPS. Has been sitting on Waiting on Location for about 5 minutes now. I'll let it go 10 more, but no longer than that... :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rotarydial:
Full wip, flash 1.5w/kb fix, flash gps fix 3, boot working nicely. Nav good, OMC widget loc good. I may not visit Meeker after all!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] italysfinest327:
I would also like to have the very first toggles back along with the green battery. Is there an apk from the first synergy rom that i can pull that will give me the stock look notification panel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Okay awesome. I get a solid lock (+1! :D), however for some strange reason Navigation remains at searching for GPS...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kichard:
Seriously guys, what am i not doing, or doing wrong because im still not getting any signal, or data. Nada. zero!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
That's what I've gotten and it bothers me....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sccrluk9:
How long should resetting GW take? Ive been stuck at 99% for like 15 min?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Actually now I'm back to not having a GPS lock Lol. I'm no longer in Colorado, but I can't seem to get the GPS locked. It locks just fine with the WiFi radio on, but as soon as that's turned off, I get my giant 1500 meter diameter range I could be with in.

Atleast I can get my weather data now though. I rarely use Navigation or Maps so I don't really care about pin point locks, as long as it knows the city I'm in (or STATE! haha).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
My GPS doesn't seem to be as far off as everyone elses but it's still about a block off. The blue arrow does kinda float around too as if it's unsure where I'm really located. Even in navigation I get a "lock" but it's about a block off.

Not to be difficult but what was wrong with the stock GPS? It always seemed to lock quickly and accurately for me. Is there a way to revert back to the stock config or is it not that simple?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Depends on how far you went to going about setting it up. More cards and purchases and data used in the app takes longer. If it really has been 15 minutes, you might want to try resetting it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
The general consensus for now seems that gps is better but it's still not perfect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sccrluk9:
I only had the google prepaid card and no purchases. Can I just kill it and reset it? I really dont want to botch my secure element.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Yes. I mean like I said it get's my zone I'm in, but doesn't pin point me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Not entirely sure if it will break anything or not. To play it safe I'd just let it hang on 99% for a little longer.

You could kill it and re open it. Sometimes stuff gets stuck at 99% and it actually really did get to 100% and finish. Might be the case. If you get any errors let me know. There's one similar to the unsecure NFC element one that scared some people even though it's just their build.prop not being the Galaxy Nexus one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
Seems to be the same issue here. I use gps a lot so this might be a deal breaker =O but i hope its figured out soon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
I'll start working on my fix again if eschelon doesn't have anything else to throw at it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dwibbles33:
Thanks, I appreciate it, sorry if I came across as anything but calm and curious, I bolded the text so it would draw attention since I lack a big fancy signature. I'm interested in how you go about switching it because I have been trying my hand at some of this dev stuff and I have created a basic app and themed my whole settings menu so any light that can be shed is greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xXJay_RXx:
Stupid question but is there anyway to make the double tap home button change to S Voice instead of the Google Voice dialer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] supercell2000:
i Think I'm just going back to 1.3 until this is worked out. GPS is too important to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bc760:
Mines also like this and it actually says I'm across the street from where I really am.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kichard:
Thanks for chiming in bud, I don't know what to do about this. I'm bummed for sure. I have the stock battery and all that jazz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dwibbles33:
Have you tried Language and input in the settings? I haven't flashed 1.5 yet but when I do I will be in the same boat as you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] seang:
mine puts me on my couch, exactly where i am.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
Turn off your WiFi and let us know where it shows you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Once again, if you have WiFi on, it doesn't use the GPS to lock on to your location...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
What's your setup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Okay guys I'll have a GPS fix coming out shortly. I'm putting it together right now. It still has to be tested though.

For people who want to try out my MODs and stuff early, go over to my Androidfilehost page under the beta website (it's what I used to upload Google Wallet).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
Imuso just released a new kernal, gonna try it out and see if it works with synergy 1.5. Wish me luck! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xXJay_RXx:
Yea I checked there n its enabled but when I double tap the home button, it keeps giving me Google Voice search instead of S Voice
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
I don't really use my GPS that much but figured I'd see if it worked base on some responses.

Its not working. It keeps saying I'm in Tulsa when I live in NY.

I flashed the first version of 1.5 which needed the jb keyboard fix. Not sure if that matters.

I've toggled and rebooted with neither correcting the issue.

Forgot to add I did a dirty flash from 1.4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Gonna drop v1.7 here in a bit. It contains completely stock GPS files and settings. If you do a full wipe and then flash v1.7 and still have issues, you may want to odin back to stock rooted, then flash synergy again cuz it won't be caused by anything in v1.7.

:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
Here's my set up. Gps is dead on. WiFi off, Google and verizon location off. I dirty flashed 1.5 over 1.4 I had imo's lean kernel when I flashed this rom if that matters. Hope it helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Haha just as I finished my fix! :D

PM me if you still want it guys! (Speaking of PM's I just saw eschelon's to me as well! Lol probably should of read it before I started!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
Another bug I'm having is that sometimes the app name under the icon disappears and if I have a folder the text becomes garbled. For example I have a folder named tools and now it says qrbt.

Anyone else having this??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
Going to wait for that then. I actually just odined to stock lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sccrluk9:
Will GW 1.5 work with 1.7? Im assuming so since the only difference I believe is the GPS files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
Woah 1.7 a day after 1.5, what happened to 1.6? lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Lulz, I can't count.

I think you enjoy/love cooking stuff up in the kitchen, but I hope you don't feel obligated to get this stuff out!

However, I am really looking forward to this GPS fix! I never realized how much I use GPS, until I flashed v1.5 and it started acting up :(

This will go to home screen then once home, goes to voice search. Pretty trick.

Slightly outdated news now, but with VZW and Google services off, and WLAN also off, I got a GPS lock inside of 5 seconds. As for accuracy, it thought I was 2 houses down. I am on the latest baseband, and with those services on, I get an instant, precise lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigee1212:
Hey do I have to wipe if my last wipe was flashing 1.4? I didn't wipe to 1.5 so im inclined to think I don't have to wipe when 1.6 drops?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bgolden84:
I don't know why I'm so lucky. But my GPS only is locking fast. I did full wipe on install let it boot. Let it sit for five min rebooted. Then installed all my apps. Rebooted wiped cash and dalvik cash. Then fixed permissions booted up. Made sure I only had GPS on no wireless location SVC on. No WiFi. Got a lock to with in ten meters within 20 sec and was spot on.

Also on a side note I'll throw a screen shot of my info I'm not on the latest baseband
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
Where is it locking? Maps?

Mine is locking too but when I go to navigation that's a different story.did you try using navigation to navigate somewhere
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NotATreoFan:
I used Google Now to "navigate to Walmart." It had a lock before the map could load.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
When you get stuck, reboot and try again. Most times it is actually finished, but check and make sure it is fresh start, then you can wipe and flash.

v1.6 - 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:

Restored completely stock GPS files and settings (if you are still seeing problems you may wish to flash back to stock via Odin then back to Synergy again cuz nothing about GPS in v1.6 is custom – all stock GPS)

Offline dictation for Google Now added

Cell standby bug fixed (for realsies this time)

Camera can now be used during a call (thanks to Team Synergy's TrevE for this and other mods)

Camera shutter sound can now be disabled

Enabled “Find my mobile’ in Security settings

Added new settings to stock Samsung keyboard

Increase MMS resolution

Fixed Jelly bean keyboard

Other minor tweaks and enhancements

Updated apps

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

I just did a full wipe (data, cache, system, etc) and then flashed this exact same file, went through the setup and turned on only standalone GPS, then opened GPS Test and I had a lock on 14 sats in under 10 seconds. That was in my basement and it is stormy outside with thick cloud cover.

If you guys are still haven't GPS issues it isn't anything in the ROM. Try flashing back to stock via Odin, update to the latest modems, then flash back to Synergy again.

GPS within a few feet, so I'm one of the lucky ones. Running 1.5 with Imo .1 kernel. SetCPU 1900max/384 min. Battery draining a bit quicker, but I'll know that better after a little settling time. Interesting to see my battery temp sitting at 84.2 degrees. Until this combination it never went below 92 degrees. Not sure what impact it may have but I gotta think a cooler running battery and overall device is a good thing.

Is there a way to make either wifi tether or the mobile hot spot still work when the screen goes off? I currently have to keep the screen on in order to keep the tethered appliance connected to the Internet. I remember a modified wifi tether app that used to keep the connection going even if the screen goes off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
It seems like for the most part things are running smoothly for most. I know you are all seeing that 'BUA' crash on initial boot and I believe I've got that patched now for an upcoming build.

Besides that, are there any widespread issues you are all consistently seeing? We know some of you are having some one off issues and we'll all do our best to get you up and running, but we also want to know of any universal bugs you are all seeing so that we can patch them up asap.

Our goal is a slick ROM that you can use as a daily driver without any hiccups, and your feedback is critical to making that happen :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChadHughes:
That bug is from ftom flashing custom themes. The mms Apk is replaced by the AOSP version, which causes that click on contacts error. Nothing to do with the Rom though :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Actually Chad makes an excellent point here:

Whenever you're flashing a theme and anything else, it's good practice take a minute to unzip the flashable and look at what it's installing. After unzipping, you can ignore META-INF folder (which contains the instructions used to install the files and set permissions if needed - but advanced users can still look around at this info), and look at the system and data folders too see what's being installed.

If you see a ton of framework or /system/app/ changes, things might go south on you.

We love themes and mods. That's what this hobby is all about for us :) Just make sure you know what you're getting into before you flash and you can save yourself the headaches later on

But we'll still do our best to help out when you get stuck :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nightwind Hawk:
I updated my post to say that the TB issue was solved, and probably just a random thing.

However, pressing on my own photo in the text messaging app still force closes Contacts, even though I created myself a "ME" profile. However, clicking the other picture works fine...

---------- Post added at 05:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 AM ----------

Ahh, I did not realize that the theme installed a custom MMS app - I thought SynergyROM included it since I installed the theme not-too-long afterwards.

I am sorry for wasting any time!

Do you think the voice problem has anything to do with that as well? The voice search actually works, but it hangs up immediately after and FC's...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Not wasting time at all, bud. This room is for learning from each other :)

But yes, this ROM uses the stock Samsung SecMms.apk app for messaging. Flashing over the Mms.apk from AOSP will surely break things.

As for voice search, are you using Google Now? If so, it instantly closes when trying to do a voice search. We pulled it out in v1.1 since we need to wait for the Jelly Bean TTS engine to be fully ported before we can fully utilize Google Now without crashing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChadHughes:
It's always good practice to wipe at least cache and dalvik, but I don't think a wipe is "required". A lot of people are having success dirty flashing. I personally tend to wipe data everytime. It's really your choice. If you get stuck worst case is you just wipe and flash. Hope that helped!
