Does gmail 4.2 work fine on this Rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Haven't had any issues with it. Use it all the time. I did have to flash cwm touch bootchain from 0open1your1eyes0 jb leak guide. Recovery wasn't working just a black scree.

Ha maybe he might become a paid developer for Google or any certain name brand phone company/carrier. That would be awesome. Source code, binaries, developement phones. Hmmm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AftermathLK:
for some reason, i can't really seem to get my apps to sync (such as snapchat and facebook) and give me notifications. Gmail does though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chocu1a:
Wow, I am getting nowhere near those stats. I am lucky to get 12 hours before having to lug it in. Jealous:o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I promised to stay until the official JB update. Dont worry... Im sure it will be forever. We are talking about Verizon here, lol :p

I dont have the skills to bloat and slow down the phones like the manufactures do. I would never make it, lol

Not sure on that. Maybe someone else can chime in?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sebastianraven:
I only buy phones Scott ROMs... I just know that I'm getting a quality product that way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hyunge:
Its been getting better after a few days of letting things settle. I didn't believe the others and kept trying to tweek,...left it alone, and thats what I got.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Wow, thats a serious compliment! Thank you!

I tell people the same thing... Let it break in...

Plus another thing that is semi subconscious... Your going to play with it more than normal. I think that will kill battery too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
You have to side load it, but yes it works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] squidmaster:
Battery life isn't that great for me. Less than 11 until completely dead under light usage. Plus it gets extremely hot. I have to set it down sometimes. Stock jb kernel, no v6. Very basic applications and screen is only 33%. System is next at 16%.

Also apex won't update it says the package names don't match.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Hmmm, can you post a couple screen shots of battery life? I would like to see what your signal looks like.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] squidmaster:
Granted I love everything else about this ROM. Screen time usage is probably 40 less minutes on the previous charge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Can you get me this view please... It will tell me the most...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] squidmaster:
Sure sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stang6790:
Make sure that you are on 3g/4g on the initial login otherwise it will fail. After the initial login it should work on wifi also. If that doesn't work I have no idea what the problem could be since mine is working fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ilkevinli:
It works fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sewey:
Make sure you have this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motricity.verizon.ssodownloadable

Also clear cache on both this and my verizon and try again with WIFI off
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] musclehead84:
Scott I know you are getting the DROID dna but what about the nexus 4? Curious to see if the nexus 4 will have any clean loving?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
While this might be sharing your trade secrets...I'm all on education too. How do you make a clean rom? Perhaps a basic tutorial? Is it going through command line and removing all the verizon apks etc etc or is there a certain tool you use? While there will only be one TRUE Scotts Rom perhaps when the official jb comes out and you move on someone else (or we ourselves) can build our own cleanish roms. I know there are tutorials out there for basic rom building but was not sure as to if any specifics to yours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCITNet:
Did you use titanium to restore them? Mine did the same thing and it turns out it was because I restored them. Uninstall them and download from play store and they should work.

does Ktoonsez kernnel works in this rom??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NITRO_2:
Yes, I'm using it now

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sshams95:
I'm on the VRBLJ1 radio using the stock kernal that comes with the ROM.

I'm starting to believe this theory as I see the data arrows working while the handoff is occuring. Just need to isolate what app is causing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nutzzer:
All, I searched on this thread but have not found a solution for Wifi Tethering. Any pointers on how to get this done?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] avhokie:
Just wanted to say that this ROM is ROCK SOLID! I'm loving it...thanks OP for your awesome work! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jay Evans:
The one built in works. So does WifiTether for JB GS3 TouchWiz Roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Character Zero:
Go into Wifi Tether in settings and set it up but don't turn it on. Use the toggle in the pull down shade to turn it off and on. If you don't have the toggle, add it with the Quickpanel Settings app in the drawer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
I'm trying to get android is to go down by waiting as stated everywhere in the thread and it has gone down a little bit. Now this nearby devices comes up. In settings its unchecked and I have never used it. Anyone know what could be causing this? So far 3.1 gave me better battery life if this doesn't settle in a day or so I'm going back. Also BBS says its mediaserver
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nutzzer:
Ok, I must be an idiot...I went to settings -> More Settings -> Tethering...all I see is bluetooth tethering. There is a Mobile Hotspot, but think thats for the Verizon Mobile Hotspots.

So where is it located within settings? I also went to the toggles withing the drop down and don't see wifi tethering, only mobile hotspots.

Thanks for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oconnell84:
The mobile hotspot is the wifi tether settings feature you are looking for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nutzzer:
Dang it! I assumed that was tied to the Verizon mobile hotspot. So I never thought twice bout it.

Thanks all for your answers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fadac:
Ever since 4.5 or J1 modem my battery has gone to ****. I used to get almost 2 days battery life. Now, I'm lucky to get a half day. Anyone know why?

It is ALL Screen! That's only 1 hour screen time on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
Well, do you normally use then phone that much when you used to get 2 days cause from the first screen shot it looks like you had a lot of screen on time.

Wait, I just saw you said it only 1 hour of screen on time. I don't know how it could drop that fast on one hour.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mustang302LX:
I'd try a different radio and see how it goes. However 2 bars of 3G isn't good signal anyways. It's definately not the ROM though that's for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fadac:
I'm in a plant in the middle of nowhere in Kentucky, that is why the signal is bad.

I feel like the modem wouldn't/shouldn't affect battery drain for screen time that much.

It seems like my phone is "Awake" a lot when not being used aka no "Screen on".

Why would that be and how can I tell what is running while the phone is sleeping?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I would love to... But I cant afford such luxuries. All my devices are bought with donations. Maybe if one is donated to me I would :fingers-crossed:

You guys are acting like I am dead or something... This getting morbid :eek:

But anyways, I do have a step by step tutorial on my Website.

Thank you!

Good deal!

Dude... Have you seen your signal lately? You have none. That will drain battery MUCH faster than screen. Revert back to the last known good radio that you had.

No, everything you said is 100% opposite.

1. Your phone is only awake when you screeen is on. Your own pics prove that.

2. Said it before, say it again... Radio has the biggest impact on battery drain.

3. Its searching for signal and cant find it. Revert radios immediately....

-Scott
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] taihard:
I personally went back to CR3.1 for better flash support... on jelly bean, if you try and watch a flash video full screen it doesn't keep your screen on, it turns it off after however long you have designated.. jelly bean is smooth and all but since I watch videos all the time, that feature was more important to me. Battery life is pretty similar on both Roms for me, maybe a tad better on 3.1 but not by much. I also like and use the built in call recording feature of 3.1 so I don't have to use 3rd party app. All of Scott's roms are great though, that's just my 2 cents on why I went back to 3.1 otherwise I would stick with jelly bean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hyunge:
Seems like screen is taking 75% of your battery life. How bright do you have the screen. Is the screen staying on? My screen used 47% with several hours of on time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddgarcia05:
Is there anyway to remove the lock on the lock screen and replace it with the words "swipe to unlock" or does jelly bean do away with that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fadac:
I use "Automatic" Brightness. Usually keeps my slider at 25% or less. Screen Timeout is set to 1min but I always shut my screen off manually when done with use.

I'm going to do what Scott said and try a different modem. It seems as if this modem in this area is desperately searching for service but can't find it resulting in killing the battery.

I post back with results from a different modem. Any recommendations?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sebastianraven:
Whenever you phone is searching for service it will drain the battery FAST. Grab the modems on post #1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yeah, thats understandable. Not everyone will be an early adoptor. Once HTML5 takes over and Flash finally dies we will be good. But I anticiapte that taking a while.

I heard HD and HE modem help with people in your situation. I cant say for sure.

It may take some trial and error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 420fan:
Anyone having an issue using tunein radio? I tried fixing permissions, un installing and reinstalling the app. It opens but then won't grab any stations.

I'm having a problem when taking pictures, sometimes, when using the flash, the display goes blank and I have to reboot. Using clean Rom4.5 and some KOC mods. Anyone else?

Hell at one point you loose connection all together. Radio issue. I woudl start there.

Tunein radio is working fine for me. Listened to it most of the day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dapimpinj:
I had my GS3 only lasting for 2 hours before dying. I got fed up and tried wiping the data, cache, system, and reinstalling the rom from scratch (without a restore), and now i'm getting around 3 hours of on screen time. If you see horrible battery life, then do a clean install of the rom and install all the apps individually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] squidmaster:
I just changed the radio. Getting the same service but I'll check out battery. If not I'll try that clean install.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Exactly!!!!

When Carrier releases a ROM they release a matching radio built for that ROM.

So you are using a radio for a differnt ROM. Match the Radio and ROM then look for improvements.

Good here too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GunnerOnASpooky:
I haven't seen anyone else mention it, but I can't adjust the volume using the rocker switch. It acts as though the adjustment is being made, then jumps back to the volume it was on. I think it could be a problem with audio manager pro...going to try uninstalling it and see if that works

Edit : That did it. I don't know why it would do that...haven't found a setting that will disable it...so no more widget for now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NITRO_2:
I gave up and bought an extended battery lol, my battery literally will just drop with very light usage. It can't be rom related as its done this on many roms I've tried. I just can't pinpoint it down to an app or what.

Also as a side note, i noticed if i play Google play music, pause it, and exit it, my volume button will only change media volume even though no media is currently being played. Notice in the screenshot that is changing media volume even though I'm not playing any media.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
I too am getting similar battery results with this setup. I used to easily get twice the battery life. I just flashed the HE modem and will give it a shot tomorrow with a full charge. I also had the same symptoms of the phone being "awake" during periods when the screen was off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AftermathLK:
battery is not the best, but better than R106. I also have a slight annoyance which I never had before. when the screen turns off and I press the home button to turn it back on if my device is not locked it instantly boots me to the home screen instead of the last app I was in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DaGunn:
Question: Does this happen for all apps or just specific apps, if so which apps. Your description sounds as though your launcher is reloading after turning your phone back on.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] minmongoblin:
This happens to me too, and it happened on CM10, so I bet it's a JB issue

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chocu1a:
Well, I was using the matching rom and radio and was getting pretty bad life.

Latest jb rom and baseband
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] devilchrist:
I have this too.

What OP is describing is when screen times out, not turning of from gettting locked.

so in those 5 seconds between screen time out to locking, when you press home button to wake the screen it takes you to home screen, instead of just waking the screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigmook:
Anyone having issues with voice search and voice typing not working while connected to a Bluetooth headset?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmagnu:
The matching RPM has to be installed as well for proper power management correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yep!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chocu1a:
Did that too. All items relating to the latest leaks, J1.

I flashed the HE modem this evening. I will see how that works.

All things considered, the battery is still better than my G.Nexus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AftermathLK:
I actually never had it happen when i used Liquid smooth or R106.

I've been using nova launcher basically before I even started romming my GSIII. I never had it happen before. I'll see the App for a sec and it will send me to home screen (basically the same thing which happens if you press home even while the screen is on). when I press the power button this does not happen, I'll look in settings just encase i did something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbdan:
I'll chime in Scott. Came from 1.3 and now running 2.0 for the evening. All I can say is wow wow! Yes its much snappier and smoother than 1.3 imo. Plus you've added back a few things back from stock that make it WIN! :D

Brilliant rom the best out for the sgs3. Love everything you've done including options in aroma. Very professional
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Thats what I though, I think its notably smoother than 1.x

But i have my Dev Glasses on so... I can only see what I want to see, lol. It happens.

What's the correct settings for wifi tether v3.2? It has three options for generic ics which one is correct? I know its off topic
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rmtobler:
I was skeptical but 2.0 does seem about 10-15% more snappier/smoother.

IDK, Native tether should be unlocked so I havent played with WiFi tether in a while. I wont be able to answer but maybe someone else can?

BTW I've had screen flicker on stock and CR1.3 but I no longer have it on 2.0 :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I am having the same issue. I am using Imoseyn Kernel .3 latest.

Update:

Flashed back to .2.2 and it is working again.

So far seems a kernal issue not a rom issue, which by the way I am loving this rom, thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Austin808:
That is very odd. I do not have that issue. What kernel did you choose during install?

I am thinking the stock kernel does not does not support running the init.d scripts and therefore the code to remove the notification is not running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Damn, I took out the forced init.d in post.boot.sh because its in the RAM Disk now. So if you dont flash the unsecure boot.img you wont get the inti.d support.

I can make a simple patch for that though so people can use it the old way.... Give me 20....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Austin808:
That is very odd since I do not have any issues connection to wifi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbdan:
Aha you are probably correct. I chose not to flash the insecure boot.img. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
It doesnt matter about the unsecure boot.img. I beleive his will overwrite that anyways.

Just make sure you flash it after the ROM. Otherwise the modules will be mismatched.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
I've been flashing for 2 1/2 years now, and I will say I second the "professionalism" statement.

I bet you have a bunch of location based Google Now stuff on and searching or go to settings > google and maps and location and ensure location isn't sending or reporting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DaGunn:
You probably have apps running that use location services like Google Now with the weather card or driving card, or accuweather. Or maybe Verizon is tracking you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
Verizon tracking people makes more sence lol then they will charge you a GPS fee
