But then if you ever need to use google maps/navigation, you have to go back and check all 3 boxes right?

I just wanted to report that since turning my alarms off during the day instead of just leaving it always on (haha not on like beeping but on waiting for the next alarm), my android system wakelocks have gone down significantly and I am currently 50% battery with 3hrs screen on and that includes doing a nandroid restore earlier in the day... love it Scott!:thumbup:

Anyone else unable to connect to a Mac via USB using Android File Transfer?

I can get it to connect on my iMac but not my Macbook Pro. It's only happened since installing 2.5. Shows up in ADB in both Macs, oddly enough.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Turn it on in settings.

THis! This is the problem I had running CleanKERNEL 1.2 with G7 BAse. The touchscreen would randomly stop working! THIS! Thats why I said, dont use my kernel with this base. THIS!!!

Not this, lol

I never said that or you misread my words....

I said it would be all HD but hoping to get G7 source code. If G7 kernel works on HD base then I can code from G7 base source code. Then we can have latest ROM with good kernel. If the G7 kernel doesnt work well with the HD Base then we are just prolonnging the kernel... Make more sense now?

How long? Any issues?

OMG, dont remind me... Day after day, same exact question. But what am I linking?

Reboot phone, let it shut the screen off natually then try to turn it on and unlock it.

Cool!

Check your Radio version

Just wanted to update... Reset my phone and can not reproduce the issue. I dont know what triggers it but I can not reproduce it now. Touchscreen works great plugged in again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Going on about three hours now, no problems to report. Pretty smooth. One thing I did do was flash the cell standby fix it was reporting high. It's good now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slimc84:
Scott... I think morrichad was referring to posting a link to the HD kernel in the 2nd post since people are constantly asking where to get it from...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] spyderman09:
Nope. Maps should work with just "standalone GPS" checked.

In actuality, I have never even had the Verizon location services turned on, just GPS and Google. But you can turn off Google Location and still use maps and nav.

While working on TheGreatestROM, have yourself a frosty beverage of choice. Either that or buy shoes for the kids, your choice.

Seriously though Scott, I sincerely appreciate what you're doing for the VZW SGSIII community. I've never seen a Dec such as yourself, someone who will selflessly donate his time AND doesn't carry an annoying ego. I've used many ROMs over the years and appreciated the work each one represented, but you're the first person to whom I've donated. I hope it helps in some small way.

Best Regards,

Eric

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Oh odd. When I had JUST GPS turned on an the other two off, when I loaded maps it asked me to go into settings an switch everything on. That's why I figured you couldnt just leave GPS on, but all of them.

I did a search in this forum and couldn't find any mention of this problem. If I select a picture from my gallery and set it as home screen wallpaper, when i scroll to to the last homescreen (left or right) I get black bars that take up about a third of the screen. This happens whether using gallery or quickpic. I'm running 2.5 with TFS Launcher. Is there a way to correctly set the picture size, and if not, can I turn off wallpaper scrolling?

Deselect auto-reboot in Odin, flash your ROM again, boot straight to stock recovery when done (Volume up,Home,Power buttons), data wipe, then boot phone.

Now I need some help from you all/Scott, here is my situation as follows:

Running Cleanrom 2.5 with VRALHD radio & VRALG7 stock kernel. I starting noticing after sometime after about 4 hours up time that Android System was climbing extremely fast, closing percentage gap between itself and ScreenOn time. Around 42% Screen On & 40% Android System, went in and turned on CPU usage from settings and sure enough got gsiff dameon bug. Decided to find out for myself where the file was located and renamed the file, then rebooted the phone. So far so good.

Now the weird thing that I have noticed is that since I flashed the HD radios if I look into my battery usage I happen to notice some black gaps for signal strength. Said mmm... this is a weird matter I never seen before, so over the last couple of hours I figured out what these big Black gaps were. Usually this meant to me in the past from flashing other radios if I reboot the phone or put it in Airpane mode to reset the phone signal to hop back on 4G in area I know is 4G that there would a small Black gap here or there. In my case now I see big long Black gaps in my signal strength bar, the result I come to conclude to is that these long Black gaps are when my phone signal falls to 3G mode.

Was wandering if anybody else whose phone constantly switches between 3G & 4G could verify the info I am seeing in the signal strength bar under Battery use. I would so provide some screenshots, but unforunately I am a low-Tech dumb*** in this area & really don't how to upload pictures to the forum.

Thanks for any assistance with this matter!

AC:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slimc84:
if u don't have the mobile app what i do is i take the screenshots and email them to myself then i download them to my computer and upload to the forum... there is an attach button when you reply to a message (if not, click go advanced *i think*) and then there will be an attach option next to the facial icons at the top.

Thank you Scott

I've been flashing Rom's since the early days of Windows phones and I have to say, you made this the easiest and quickest flash I've ever done, thank you and a donation is coming your way... Awesome job...:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
One of the options in Location Services is "Standalone GPS services". If you toggle on the GPS from the notification button, it will turn on that option in Location Services. The other two options in Location Services aren't needed for maps/navigation to work if you use the GPS.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Ohhhhhh... Yeah, I am slow....

Nope, just give me any oddities as I just dont have the time to test it, lol.

Wow, thanks Eric I appreciate it! Much appreciated!

WTF?!?!?! For real?

You made a wise choice!

Tha black bars mean no signal. That is the WORST thing that can happen to your battery. Let this be clear... Not having a signal will kill your battery faster than anything else. You need to dump the HD radio and go with G7. If that doesnt fix it then you need to ODIN to G7 all the way and then unlock again.

Thank you sir!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
WHAT?!?!?!​

GPS ON, Standalone Location On, AutoSync On, Auto Brightness On

Light usage... Text, surf, phone

Now what?

I'm not doing quite that well but I do consistently get well over a day (typically close to a day and a half) which is plenty good enough for me.

Running 2.5 with the HD radio and HD kernel - solid as a rock.

Alright I will keep a closer eye on these HD radios. Like I said I would use my phone for a couple of minutes, quickshot look into my battery usage to see if 3G was taking a heavy toll on my battery. I would have a decent signal, put the phone back in my pocket, pull it again use for surfing calling, not once did I not see that I had sort of a signal when using the phone. Most of all I knew the tower was like within 7-8 miles of where I was. Was on a school field trip with my son @ farm today and signal was bouncing back & forth occassionally. My whole home area is like this unless your right it City Lmits, signal is lot better!

Scott if I keep seeing this I will downgrade radios or follow the rest of your device and Odin back to stock(hate too), but else is there do, but this?:silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tee00max:
So im new to this ROM and are the HD kernels and radio different? are they better than what comes stock on this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdog94:
yup for real several times it has happened
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] morrichad:
tee best thing to do is try G7 everything first let it run for 2-3 charge cycles, let radio, rom/kernel settle in easy first. Then and only then my advice would be, let's say alright G7 I have strong signal, excellent battery life, smoothe as baby's a**, then I would proceed forward up to flashing VRALHD radio/kernel. Wash &repeat prior steps I have stated.

Good Luck!!!

Camera problem?

On early Synergy r56 or something earlier like that, camera was fine. Went to r73, then to Cleanrom 2.5 -- Thats when I started getting these scanlines when trying to take a picture -- They remain with the picture, so its not just on screen. Any idea? I posted in general and got a generic "clear cache/data in camera app, reboot" but that didn't work. I noticed the "scanlines" arent there when manually setting ISO to 100. Any other ISO, the lines appear.

ANyone else having this issue or had this issue?

Used generic camera app and Vignette -- Both the same.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
Just wanted to report the HD base is running perfectly with G kernel. No issues to report. Might as well be made this way. Good battery life, just like normal.

Only problem is bloat on stock Rom. Here's a scary story. As I mentioned before I was Odined to stock to fix a 4G issue. Verizon was involved before I fixed it myself. At the time my Odined base was empty so I let them look at it remotely "for the duration of the call". Today I'm looking for battery usage on this rooted stock rom... And there's Verizon remote support spy running in the background of this completely new installation. Yikes. Do not run with Verizon bloat! I froze it with Titanium.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
Scott, I did as you asked and it worked just fine. No problems at all unlocking the phone while plugged into the wall charger!

Thanks man. That my gameplan as of right now. Settle in with what I have now and go from there.

No, regular stock bettary, CleanROM 2.5 with included kernel. Settings as noted.

I would say 24 hours woudl be average for nromal to medium high usage.

Oding to G1 and take OTA. Try again.

Good deal!

It was faster and had a custom bui8lt kernel that was tuned for performance and battery.

Nope, just fine.

Thanks a bunch. I appreciate that!

Good info and... Gotta love Verizon!

Ok, thanks!

Thank you for the best Rom I have ever ran.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eakeller:
Weighing in on HD radios. CleanRom 2.5 first install went great. Smooth and fast, great battery life.

Looking for even better reception, I flashed the HD radio zip. This created some serious problems for me, ones which drained my Seidio 3500mAh battery in a matter of hours.

Things I noticed:

1. Something had a wakelock latched on, as my battery stats showed "awake" constantly for a couple hours.

2. The GPS seemed to be always hunting for a fix and showed the little navigation icon ° in the upper left corner quite a bit. I cleared maps data, not sure if it did anything.

3. Reception for me was no better than G7 radio and actually forced me to 3G several times throught the day, in a known strong 4G area.

4. I flashed back to G7 radio earlier this evening, and it remains to be seen if the battery problems will go away. I hope they do, as I'd rather not have to nuke and reinstall.

Thanks again for the ROM, I hope the feedback helps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ltbakken:
Could be coincidental, but I had similar results when I flashed HD on top of my install. Choppiness that wasn't there before, fluctuating battery life, and most notably, my phone app went crazy. So I did a fresh clean install of 2.5, leaving the radio where it was. Been on it for days and all is well, with much better service than I was used to.

Just for fun I repeated the exact process above with the same results. Point is, in my experience, if you want to keep the HD radio, do a clean install on top of it, not afterwards.

Just my observations
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eakeller:
Thanks for the tip, I may have to try that. I did do a dirty install of 2.5 on top of HD radio, but.if it.did anything it made the problem worse.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
Scott,

Never have run into an issue with HD base and G kernel. I couldn't recreate the screen issues you talked about while charging. Charging has been fine, sleeping and process usage are normal.

Gps fine, tethering fine, video and photo fine, blue tooth, radios, etc fine. No strange temperature. No flickers or force closes or reboots.

Hopefully the other testers can report back good things. I can't take the Verizon and other bloat, and I miss 2.1 a lot ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I just wanted to chime in here about your results...

I never recommend mixing and matching radios as what you experienced is worse case scenario. Sadly, this is not new. I have been battling this on the One X for months.

If I build a ROM, say off G7 base (like this one), then that means the RIL (Radio Layer Interface) is tuned for that specific radio. Its almost like "Drivers" on a Windows PC. Sure you can force Driver X from Windows XP to work on a Windows 7 machine but you may not have full functionality or correct operation of the peripheral. Matching the radio baseband with RIL is just as critical.

Granted, just like I always always say... Everyone's results will vary! You had the worst end of the stick. Others may see mild drain and never even think about.

Thank you for taking the time to sure your results and people with really poor performance with battery and or anything else (granted just a few people) may learn from your well spoken experience!

Ok, good deal!

I got enough data to make some wise choice.

Thanks to everyone who played around with my franken build idea... Please continue with the ROM and Kernel of your choosing.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eakeller:
Per Scott's response regarding the RIL, it seems slapping the HD radio into the G7 build is a total crap shoot. YMMV, but personally I'll never do it again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ljbrenes:
amazin!!

Just another report on battery stats in 2.5. It has been 24 hours now since I unplugged the phone, moderated usage, couple hours screen time, 30 minutes phone calls, facebook, sync exchange email from work, few minutes gps, etc. I a m still sitting at 52% battery left, this is crazy!

I am not posting scrreenshots cause it is already well documented how gentle this rom is with the battery.

This reminds me of something that happened to me and many others many moons ago. I used to have a blackberry storm, first blackberry with a touchscreen. It was particularly hard on battery, but this one time a firmware leaked out of RIM and many people flashed it including me. This rom was the best thing since sliced bread, battery would easly last day and a half. It took us a couple of days to figure out why. After maybe one hour of being iddle, the phone would go into such a deep sleep that it would actually basically die. No more pull notifications, if you had pandora streaming it would stop, etc. If you touched the screen it would wake up and everything would go back to normal.

This 2.5 rom reminds me of that, the rom is so amazing on iddle that sometimes it makes me wonder what is it that stops working in order to conserve sooooo much battery. Of course, nothing is wrong, we would have noticed something by now.

Scott, is paypal the only way to donate? I dont have a paypal anymore.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] minmongoblin:
In your guys' opinion, how many drains/recharges do you go through to get to "stable" battery life? As in how the battery drains is to be expected from then on? Yesterday I got down to 15-ish % from about 7am to 2pm with about 30 minutes of navigation, 1 hour of Pandora, and some moderate browsing. Ihad to put it back on the charger to last the rest of the day (and then got 100% charged and drained from 3pm to 10pm, and at 10pm it was at 50%). This sounds WAY off compared to some of you guys' stats. I'm running the HD radio which appears to be draining battery faster, but I truly do believe I'm getting better signal. Texts aren't refusing to send as much anymore, calls aren't dropping, I'm happier with that than a better battery.

Ultimately just curious on when battery stats become "stable"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eakeller:
I don't know what's happening with your setup, but I have also been having battery problems since flashing back to G7 from HD. Screen shot here:

For some reason Cell Standby has been chewing he11a battery life. My graph screen shows a lot of red in the signal bar, otherwise it's fine. I've been moving around, but only in known good 4G locales. Maybe I'll just do a clean re-flash of 2.5. I hate to take the time to restore, but messing with radios is becoming a chore.

I went digging in the settings and noticed one thing. In the APN settings, the first APN was selected; I forget what it's called. The second, LTE, is what.I.remember seeing in the past on stock roms. Could anyone confirm this? I don't know if it makes a difference, but it could.

Fighting the good fight,

Eric

What G7 ROM did you flash? Did you dirty flash? I would certainly full wipe and do a clean install of 2.5 as you state above.
