I switched off of PA about two weeks ago due to the constant lack of mobile data. Is that something that was specifically addressed in this build - or is it still intermittent? Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sarreq:
the 4.2camera seems to work in every way EXCEPT regular old still photos
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gfunk0311:
youre an idiot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elephant007:
I really like this rom and enjoy the Tablet UI. I too am having problems with the camera app as some people have reported here.

After taking one picture, the camera app errors and asks for me to wait or ok, I click okay and I am unable to use the camera app again until I reboot the phone and using the camera the error repeats. The first time this happened I didn't reboot my phone and my phone drank all the battery juicy like an athlete drinks a sports drink after training! HAHA

I have tried many things to fix this on my own without success. I unzipped this rom and replace the camera app with a working one (not the libs though, wasn't sure if any libs are associated with the camera), I also replaced the gallery not knowing if this is what the problem was or not. I installed older versions of gapps as some suggested. Nothing works. If required, I can provide logcats (if someone tells me how to get them) and screenshots. I am aware that I am not the only user having this issue.

Again, I really really like this ROM, at first I didn't want to get away from TouchWiz, since I broke away from it, I don't want to go back!

Thank you for all your hard work on this ROM... thank you thank you thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elsocio83:
Reboot your phone, open the camera, click on the screen to auto focus and then take the picture. It works like that. KBizzle is aware of the issue but this is how I found a way of getting pictures taken with the new gapps 4.2. Try this method.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] edisonalvarez:
Why is he an idiot? He's been here trying to help people for a long time. He couldn't determine if the gapps was legit so he warned the rest of the users. OK maybe he went a little far or could've researched a bit more but he's ultimately trying to help users.

Calling him an idiot isn't exactly the right response either. Just saying.

But thank you for sharing the updated gapps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
I wish I could replicate this. I have not once had data drops. Is this happening when switching between 4g and 3g? I ask because I don't have 4g in my area and I wonder if that is the common denominator.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
This isn't appropriate. If you don't agree, then pm Sadie and talk to her about it. Comments like this bring unneeded drama.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gfunk0311:
i understand man, and i realized after i posted it. tried to delete it but it does not give me an option, only an option to edit my comment so i just left it, didnt have time. keep up the great work, appreciate it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elephant007:
thank you for the hint, do I have to do this every time I want to take a picture on only have to do it once? This is not a difficult work-around. I appreciate your hint

EDIT:

I figured it out on my own.. haha, have to click focus each time... not a big deal, very easy!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elsocio83:
Yes, you will need to do this every time you take a picture. Its annoying at first, but you will get adjusted to it. KBizzle will look into this when he can.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Gavisann:
I have been having an issue with GPS. Sometimes when I turn it on and load up maps or GPS status the GPS notification doesn't appear. Sometimes a restart fixes it and once the icon appears I get a lock almost instantly. Any solutions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coffeehandle:
KB amazes me with his porting skittles
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jfree3000:
It is, I live in a 4g area and cm10 is still having hand off issues. Don't sweat it man everything else is great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
Message issues

Only issue I have is my text messages are still continueing to repeat at random. Sometimes up to 6 or 7 times in a row. And I think there may be a issue with the voicemail. Everytime I let a call go to the voicemail, I get a text message from "9016 //ANDROID: The phone number calling" and message saying to call here.

Any body else getting this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coffeehandle:
That is a well know issue. Just blacklist that number through "Private SMS"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Gavisann:
I started using Google voice and it fixed it for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
Cool. I will do that, What about the text message repeating? any ideas? That the only major annoyance I have.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elsocio83:
Yup. Same here. Starting using Google Voice as of today. Took care of that annoying text message reminder. I think that's a CM feature.

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

I think if you add that phone number in the block list, it won't appear. I haven't tested it out myself, but you can try to see if it works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
No. The random text aren't coming from that number. They are coming from people I'm texting. There messages come thru up to 7 times sometimes. Sometimes even a couple hours later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elsocio83:
I'm not sure about that as it does not happen to me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Gavisann:
I had an issue where I wasn't receiving texts and a reflash without wiping fixed it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] InfinityFlex:
I am on stock 4.1 and am having this issue but not quite 6 or 7 times. Random extra texts here and there. I just assumed it was a Sprint issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
I haven't had this issue in a long time. Just to make sure, you guys are doing a clean install?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] edisonalvarez:
I have done clean installs and also get extra text messages or the same text over and over. Not sure what is about. I assumed I was one of the few because I also have issues with MMS. Although go SMS is a viable workaround.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] texas83:
Yes its happening between 3g and 4g switches - but it's also happening on startup as well. I can go to airplane mode and go off it and it will not connect to mobile data (3g or 4g) for 10-15 minutes. I can power it on/off and still won't get data. On TW rom, it connects instantly to either 3 or 4g.

My point is that I won't even get 3g for 10-15 minute spans. I've done clean installs so many times but same issues. It's also happening on cm10. I have not tried PA since abt 2 weeks ago, and i would love to be back on this awesome rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I can provide my feedback too. I have the same inconsistent data on home network 3g only i am no where near 4g and also therefore only have the cdma/evdo one on. I have roam enabled all over. I am on latest Modem Lj7 and prl updated latest official 25009. It seemed more consistent on the last version of PA. I don't think its CM10 i think its Sprint itself. It seems to me old or new prl that roaming is being discouraged. It doesnt roam now that im on 2.53. I am not complaining just reporting. Phone is amazing and new gapps is cool. I have the camera issue i will set screen tap as focus not snap picture.

I have to roam at home sometimes if i want a connection. So in our prl thread in android developement section Nicholass posted this and its helping me use roam when i cant get data on sprint network.

http://www.roamctrl.com/download/

Costs money but what doesn't. Its working now and while roaming i have 4bars. Not i have one to none. :)

If others need better data it may work better in your location to roam.

Check my post above i think its Sprint issue not CM10. I had similar even on stock rom. You could upgrade to latest modem firmware it helped me. Perhaps update prl. I use latest official prl but others say latest corporate prl works good i think its 56009.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DutchDogg54:
Thought I'd jump in here to say that I haven't had any data problems at all. I was on an old modem and PRL when I first flashed back to PA 2.5.1 and have since flashed LJ7 and updated to 25009 PRL but haven't had a single LOS, data drop or anything of the sort on either set up. I am not around 4G for reference. I did clean install 2.5.1 but dirty flashed 2.5.3

I think there has to be some percentage of the problem attributed to project vision (tower upgrades) but there could be some "ghosts in the machine" for some of these folks. Who knows...

PS - for anyone wondering about the new camera draining battery... I've had it installed and used it plenty, including photo sphere and here's my battery today. About 1.5 hrs screen time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coffeehandle:
Does anyone have 2.51? I'm having some small issues with the latest

I think it might be due to that temp fix for flickering. Idk. My GBA emulator freezes a lot. And I installed the new justunbean gapps and my signal fails. So it might be a little bit of more than one problem. I'd like to test it out for sure though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I haven't had excessive battery drain either on 2.53 from the camera app at all. Its not any loss of signal or data but it appears connected while on home network and sits trying to load pages. I see a short spert of data on Cool Tool and then nothing. On occasion hitting airlpane mode and again to get it to reconnect over again sometimes helped but most times i would have signal and and its like up and down symbol on signal icon would not appear and nothing would load even play store. Its on clean install. I thought gapps so. I even did gapps 4.12 rebooted and then did 4.2 gapps over top since it has built in gapps clean up routine in it. I think maybe sprint towers could be underperforming perhaps from some of Sandys effects but it seems like after a few days on prl 25009 now that even when necessary i cant roam more so now then in last week and sprint home connection is being inconsistent. Forcing roam i have incredible signal and speed so it seems something recent and on sprints end has something to do with a few of use experiencing a few data issues. It could be another prl is coming and some of the tower information in 25009 for me in my area is starting to not connect good. It could be isolated to extreme rural areas. Ill stick to my config as i think lj7 modem is working better and same for that latest prl. Seems its just in last 3 days ive had the issues connecting to some things. I have google dns set if that helps? I cant wait but a whole year or more i may have 4g coverage if i am lucky.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DatDude123:
I have had great battery life but plenty of LOS. I changed my settings to CDMA/ EvDo and all is well. I too believe the current upgrades by Sprint to their towers is causing this, at least for me. Great great ROM.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
I always do a full clean install
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
Then I can only assume that it is service in your area.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
I typically use Paranoidandroid and FreeSonic. Only getting this with ParanoidAndroid
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
It could be CM10 itself which Paranoid Android is built on but its likely sprint towers. I was on freegs3 and had same issues but only difference was it would roam on occasion. I doesnt seem to want to roam without roam control app set to automatically or roam only.... As i said before you guys can try corporate prl 56009 which includes roaming in almost all areas.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coffeehandle:
All is cleared up for me.

On the latest PA with 4.2 gapps.

I still think my game is gonna crash. imgonna turn on HW Overlay to see if that helps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Im out in New York. My mothers S2 has been having bad data for the last few days too after i asked. She is not rooted and fully stock. Strangely that app set to automatically today is letting me roam. Seems after the weather it got like this. Ill just give it time see if it gets better.

Was it a picture taken from the camera or a downloaded file?

I'm asking cause I have CM10 installed and we can't send vertical camera pics.... :(

Any one have a gallery and camera app?

Hey KB either it was my phone or PA but today I was busy and doing something and I got a text and when I take put my phone the bottom part where the home button is at was hot and battery too and I was all out of battery in 1 hr and 30 min it was weird since its the first time it happens to me and I had my phone on power save :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
I removed the 4.2 gapps link, as it was removed from the download site by the creator. After some more testing, they still have some quirks that I don't like and would prefer not to support.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
Sounds like a rogue program.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coffeehandle:
Everyone should use Justunbean as their GAPPS. Good stuff. If you don't want 4.2 that is

The battery drain is coming from the "Screen On" time. My battery is at 10% and its only been off the charger 6hrs at most. Only made 3 calls and sent text messages. But the screen on time seems to be a constant issue on all roms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Thanks for the heads up Kbizzle i didn't realize 4.2 gapps was taken down. I have it installed now. Yes seemed a little quirky. I figure ill just go back to official after next update. As long as the file wasn't malicious im not worried. I again appreciate the update on gapps 4.2 status. Thank again.

Its Amoled's fault it takes a lot of power on bright and almost as much on the lowest brightness normally aloud. I do suggest indoors where igts easy to see screen to have brightness lower than 0. You can do that with apps. Lux Brightness Control works good off play store. Many others like it too. Average max screen on is 3hours and 4-5 if brightness was really low and thats stock battery. If its a real bother try an extended battery. I love mine, on phone all day and its not dead in 10-13 hours anymore.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tommydaniel:
Screens in general eat up battery more than anything. What was your screen on time?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SadieNibblesworth:
Flickering stress test update

I've been toying around with stress-testing the CM10 base, and it's really apparent to me that this latest November 9th release nightly has fewer flickering issues with overlays. Want to experience some fun? Run multiple picture galleries and open up 10,000s of *.jpegs at the same time in both. See what happens.

So if you're still angry about overlays (even with KBizzle's fantastic fixes,) this means that you can: 1. Expect this to be eliminated completely in PA any time now; and 2. Use CM10 if for some reason PA kills your phone or gives you a seizure from flickering and you're too lazy to implement the KBizzle fix. LOL!

Hoppingfully yours,

Has anyone gotten three vibrations before a reboot? To clarify the process, you choose to reboot, the phone powers off, the first, quick Samsung screen appears, three vibrations, first Samsung screen appears again and normal booting continues.

Basically a soft reboot when a normal reboot should occur. :p

Not sure what the issue is but it's not serious.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SadieNibblesworth:
DONATE! A friendly threat...err.... "reminder"

So you know what's an amazing idea right about now?

For all of you people who have benefited from this ROM and the fixes that KBizzle has had to personally make while customizing it for the Samsung Galaxy S3 on Sprint (including the screen issues, etc)...

Perhaps it's time to consider going to any one of KBizzle's posts and hitting that "Donate" link and sending him enough money to buy a six-pack. He likes bourbon, but has crappy tastes in bourbon, so don't send him enough for the hard stuff. LOL!

There will be an update today to 2.54. Another minor PA update with Updated CM sources. Since there hasnt been a changelog posted on PA website, I am assuming the PA changes were minor maintenance fixes. Anyway, should be up shortly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] robertm2011:
According to molesarecoming on the Nexus 7 PA thread, 2.54 will be the last update using CM10 as the base, they will be switching to a pure AOSP base; too many problems with CM10.

Still have a fickering screen.... and hybrid mode stays showing OFF, even after making changings and rebooting, is this normal?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KingOfThaJungle:
Yep I guess since Noobl updated CM10, the kernel needs to be update as well:

"NOTE: Don't use any other kernel with this ROM for right now unless you want a completely broken system. Kernel developers will need to sync the 300 or so patches that have recently gone in. Please don't post here if you've done it anyway."
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
Which configuration are you using? Hybrid mode is only enabled when you're using a configuration that has it enabled. Ie, phablet mode is what I run, and hybrid is enabled on that config.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
I figured out why paranoid wasn't working for me

I hit hybrid on off hoping it would turn it on

That option should be named "turn hybrid mode off"

Its less misleading that way
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gr33nd3vil:
Actually im talkin about fully disabling them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] droidsrus:
No. I am not using a custom kernel. But I did notice the market causes flickering when its running. Also restoring apps from titanium caused flickering too. Those are the only two things I messed with and noticed the flickering. Also the two times the phone stood on a black screen until a battery pull was done was after batch restores on titanium. All apps I restored were apps that can be downloaded from market tho. No system apps. This the fourth time I wiped fully and flashed and still have these issues. I'm going to try again later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gr33nd3vil:
