I'm in NYC, with awesome 4G signal, and I've noticed a 3G sticking problem for years, particularly when coming out of the subway when the phone searches for the first signal it can find. Sometimes switching to airplane mode for 30 seconds and then back again fixes it, other times a reboot is necessary. The problem has been pretty consistent for me through 6 versions of CleanROM, the short lived CM10, and CM10.1, along with the various radio updates as they came. I wonder if people are just paying more attention after applying the newest update, or if it just exacerbates an existing flaw in the radio or network (like a bug causing a handshake failure).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] usmaak:
Maybe there are some cases of "bandwagon jumping" at play here. But I do know this. We live in sort of a marginal signal area. While at home, my signal varies between -106 and -112. I never lose 4G connectivity, regardless. I keep hearing about how poor the S3 is with signal. And while that may (or may not) be true, our phones will fiercely hold on to a marginal signal and get good download speeds. My wife took the update last week. Since then, she's talking about 3G and "dead spots" on the way to work that were never there before. While we were in one of the dead spots, I checked my phone. It had 4G and the signal was -109. She didn't have any signal. We work at the same company and we have a Verizon tower right down the road. My signal is usually around -85. I had her up here yesterday to check her phone. Her signal was -95. So I do believe that there is a problem with the radios in the latest update, and that the update doesn't perform as well as the prior radio. If she was rooted, I could put her on a prior radio to fix her problems, but she's already stated that she's going to just "live with it until Verizon fixes the problem". And unfortunately, neither of our phones handles 3G well at all. Whenever we're on 3G, it's sub dialup speeds.

Go to the Google Play store on the web and download it to your device from there. Hangout wouldn't change / update for me automatically and when I went to GP on my phone it would say already installed. Once downloaded from the web it updated fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
Have you tried to get reboot your phone and maybe fix permissions and wipe cache /dalvik in recovery. If that doesn't work and you still want the new icon I can make a zip that you could flash to change it. I have the regular green one and I also have an all white one with green quotation marks that I made.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
Just tried that, it didn't work.

Tried clearing caches - didn't work. A manual icon would be great - thanks. I would love to give it a shot and hope it will work, but I am afraid the problem has turned out to be Nova launcher (see below)

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

I think that this might be the issue. I use Nova too. I tried to figure out how to change the icon manually, but the only thing I saw affected the entire icon set (jellybean vs stock). I've used jellybean and when I chose stock (or whatever) it DID fix the Hangouts icon BUT then I was stuck with the rest of Samsung's ugly icons (I much prefer android stock icons).

Is there a way to change an individual icon?

I think Nova just needs to update the icon (or remove it from the jellybelly icon set so it can do it's thing)

BTW, I love the Frankenstein too, it's a very iconic look for my generation. Unfortunately that one is broken and can no longer be played. I've made it into a nice wall hanger though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
With the latest Nova update, long press an app from your app drawer, move it to "Edit," then tap the icon. Have you tried that already?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
Wow. that fixed it. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
Good job Snoop

I'm glad you got it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pcdisme:
Well, I've got to admit it. I switched over to md3 stock rooted from CR6 for 4 days. I just switched back to CR. I've really tried to see the advantages of multi-window but just can't warm up to it, JMHO. I'm comfortable with switching back and forth between apps if I need to. With all the bloat and the radio issues I'm going to be content to stick with CR6 until Scott can get a chance to work his magic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neyenlives:
Seems to me that most of the features they are adding now would only be useful on larger screen devices. I'm over my GS3 already and only halfway into its 2 year lifespan. It's quick enough to do what I want but the screen size feels cramped now. I need to find someone that got a Note2 that regrets it that wants to move to a smaller device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pcdisme:
I can't say I'm over mine. I still enjoy it and it seems to do everything I need it to. The size is good for my pocket. Don't think I'd want to carry anything larger in pocket.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sinker1345:
I could do a note 2 sized device but I think that would be my limit for a phone to comfortably carry.

I was thrilled when i hacked my Apple II to add a 5 MB (yes MB) hard drive. I suddenly had "unlimited" storage on my PC and was the envy of all my friends and co-workers. I never was able to fill that drive by the time I moved on to an IBM PC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
Been on AOSP for a while and getting terrible, terrible battery life. Decided to come back to TW. Looks like this rom hasn't updated since I made the switch (3 months ago). When will we be seeing an update soon?

This is the only good TW rom for this device as I've seen/tried every other TW rom on the list and they are just filled with a bunch of bloatware/mods making the phone slow and laggy as s***. Not to mention the UI's are disgusting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Give Andy's ROM bone stock ROM a go. Its aroma based an you can make it as bare as you want or full of features. Plus he offers a aosp theme so you'll feel like your on aosp but with the battery life and stability of tw. Plus its based on MD3.

But about a week ago scott said he was going to update but who knows.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techspecs:
There was a message a few pages back that said the dev was working a seven day shift but this device was a priority for update. Until then, I've been having a good experience with axis and the V6 supercharger bundled in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neyenlives:
Tell me about it. That's why I am still on this rom. It's the only one worth using as a daily. Most of the AOSP based roms are trying way too hard to do too many things and nd up with ****ty battery life and ****ty signal strength compared to TW. No I'm not counting bars. I'm saying based on real world use. Places I have 4G signal on TW are dropped back to mediocre 3G on any AOSP build. 3G areas on TW are 1x or no data on AOSP....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Gareee:
Is there going to be a 4.2.2 cleanrom, or did I miss it's release? I noticed a few other 4.2.2 releases already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Typo? There are no TW 4.2.2 roms available so I presume you mean VRBMD3 4.1.2. Yes, it'll be ready when it's ready.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] usmaak:
Given how many people are having issues with MD3, I wonder if he'll wait it out until Verizon fixes things. I read somewhere that Verizon pulled MD3 off of its Open Source site. I guess that the biggest fix to MD3 would be to flash an older radio.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Well it was yet to be posted there but I know what you meant. If VZW did pull the OTA, we'll definitely have to wait it out and enjoy what we have.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] usmaak:
Cleanrom is great. It's really the only ROM that I've ever been on, besides stock. I don't care about all of the multiwindow stuff. My wife's phone is updated to MD3, and I think that the phone is too small to really use it. Plus that stupid blue pullout on the left side is really annoying and takes up way too much space. The only thing that I want out of MD3 is the fix for the notification sound truncation. If I could just get that, I'd be fine staying on MB1 based Cleanrom with my BLK1 radio. This combination has been nothing short of amazing on battery life and stability.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyandhisdog:
Funny reading about the problems with 4g/3g from the OTA. Oops. I'll wait. And multi window sounds complicated for my simple brain
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Gareee:
Isn't this 4.2.2?

http://drippler.com/samsung/galaxy_s_iii#!820529

I noticed cryogen is on 4.2.2 as well now.. thats why I asked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyandhisdog:
I believe cleanrom is exclusively based on official ota releases
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Gareee:
Ah, yer right I think. I guess it'll be a few weeks still till 4.2.2 is finally oficially released.

It's a custom rom. Not OTA. Gonna be awhile before we see anything like that. There are plenty of 4.2.2 ROMs, but most if not all are based off the system dump of the international. Usually means a lot of bugs and issues...

Don't be sorry, you did nothing wrong bro. It's just that I see rumours of 4.2 coming all the time and a lot of it is misinterprating custom ROMs that are out there. I don't see vzw rushing any major updates like that since this past fiasco.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
I may have to give it a shot. Doesn't look terrible and actually has a polished un-modified UI. One thing that bugs me most when switching from AOSP back to TW is the feel of smoothness of scrolling, swiping, etc. I noticed as I was on CarbonRom for a majority of the time and tried Hyperdrive, that rom was sooooo laggy. Hope Bone stock is good, but until then, I can't wait for an update to CleanRom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bsbabcock:
Andy's Rom is really shaping up into a good one. Great to see all the collaboration among the devs. I'd guess Andy's bonestock isn't far off from what I'd imagine clean rom to update to visually. I imagine under the hood in the actual performance department they'll be quite different. Both great performers and solid though, just with different tweaking.

On lag I'm finding bonestock to be very smooth.

Bonestock is one of the first that will actually sync tasks to the cloud (Samsung account) from S Planner.. Which I think is a big big deal if you want to use the stock calendar for all. Would never do that for me prior.

Maybe Scott you might know, is that Samsung account syncing something that was simply broken in the last builds that was finally fixed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyandhisdog:
And that caller ID app that automatically signs you up @$2.99/month is SUPER bogus
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikec86:
Scott hasn't forgotten the S3. He just posted in the S4 thread that he was going to update Cleanrom for the S3.

Thank him he deserves it! He's a very busy man.

With the issues MD3 has, I would not be so anxious to start flashing an update just yet, even if it's CleanRom..

Agreed. I may not flash at all. There's nothing new that really turns me on and sounds like it has pitfalls too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STLRamsFan1k:
Relax, just don't flash the modem and you'll be just fine. On bonestock with the latest ROM on the lk1 modem and have never been happier.

The problems only come up if you flashed the MB3 modems. They're just awful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neyenlives:
Well the MB1 radio has been by far the best performing radio. But the rom doesn't really add anything new from what I can tell. Not interested in multi windows.

RInger Problem

I'm running 6 ver 2 of Cleanrom with NO add ons. Since the upgrade from 5.6, my custom ringtones don't seem to work. The phone will ring once but not a full ring, length is abbreviated. I am using ringtones I dl'd from Zedge which worked just fine on 5.6. Is this a know problem or just me>
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wpbear:
I used this and baseband says updated to MD3 and my camera works. I have had no signal trouble. LTE is great still.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bsbabcock:
Try moving them over to sdcard0 ringtones folder and reapplying with android. Might be zedge thing if you applied them from the app.

I really would like to know what caused my camera to stop working. I tried to use it this morning and all I got was a error message saying camera can't start or something like that. After trying everything I knew, starting with recovery then reflash CR6, then radios. Finally odined back to stock was the only thing that fixed it. I restored a CR6 recovery and all seems well now. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm a little paranoid right now wondering if this might happen again. Really wish I could have narrowed the cause before doing a full wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
New md3 radios, modems, and or tz/boot chain with an mb1 platform rom is causing camera fc and data drops amongst other things maybe that's why
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pcdisme:
It could be. I switched over to a stock rooted md3 rom a couple weeks ago but switched back to CR including radio. I'm not needing multi-windows and signal problems. Thing is, the camera had been working fine for several days prior to quitting....weird.

sdcard files after re-rooting

Hello all I have a question for ya, I unrooted and re-rooted using odin. The files and folders i have saved on ext. sdcard ( including ) >>>twrp backups and my synergy imei backup folder , will these still work as before or will i have to format card and start over...thanks...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
No they will still work, they are just files stored in your sd it's not like they are tied down with the root of your phone. It's just like taking my memory card and putting it in a camera to take pictures, it's not gna break any files specifically to a rooted s3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyandhisdog:
I don't remember my mms being rotated 90°... I thought I read it being caused by shooting in landscape or something? I have to either edit the photo which creates a new saved picture or insert it through the message by converting to mms. (I use go SMS btw)

I've been researching but never got a good answer. ALSO...same 90° happens when sharing through gallery to instagram, Gmail, Facebook

This should be easy for y'all to troubleshoot for me! Thanks

I'll work on it tonight...

Those S4 owners bought me an S4 and that threw a monkey wrench into the S3 update.

Not just you at all, I spent 4 days on the stock rooted version and absolutely couldn't take it any longer :) Didn't even matter that everything had to be reset yet again, I just had to come back. Haven't tried this mash-up modem combo mentioned, but yeah the update is pretty rough, imho...if you can succeed in getting the performance of CR 6.2, along with the multi-window feature, that would be totally sick...and some kind of achievement I'd say, given what you have to work with lol :)

On another note, thanks for all you do! This ROM is seriously the absolute best...I've been enticed by many other ROM's with all the extra features and such, and I'm literally a flashaholic so I've probably flashed at least 10 different ROMs, with many of them multiple times each, and every single time I end up coming back here, because everything JUST WORKS lol. So yeah, thanks again!
