Well he's had three updates since Sept 6, I'm wondering why that build is the one in the title?

Please Advise!

Hey guys been searching and reading and searching and reading for the past two days and I cannot get a fix for this camera issue. "Camera Error: Can't connect to the camera.". It seems to only be with Android 4.3 Roms (I.E. Paranoid Android, Slimbean, CarbonRom etc) as when I rooted and installed CleanRom there was no issue. Stock rooted camera also works. I am currently utilizing CWM for all of my flashes/recoveries/backups

Here are the things I have tried based off of search and other threads;

Reflashing Roms and their Gapps multiple times with no luck

Odin'd to stock TWICE and reflashed utilizing the soft brick method VRALEC and VRALF Boothchains as well as stock.vzw_root66.zip.

Reflashed my baseband from MB3 to MB1 to MF1 with no change.

I've tried uninstalling the gallery.apk using TiBackup and reinstalling with different galleries with no luck.

Also tried flashing a different Kernel KT747 with no luck.

I honestly love the 4.3 Paranoid Android 3.99 Rom but don't think I can sacrifice not having a camera. Any help from the Gurus would be greatly appreciated and thanks will be given!

You should be fine just be restarting your phone. I get that same glitch on other roms. And a reboot always fixes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iofthestorm:
Yup, same here, Halo is awesome! By the way I'm not notta but he's been doing his builds since way before there was an official maintainer and I don't think he'll stop because of that guy stopping.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteBoy997:
Hmm Google music has been perfect for me. Been playing Google music radio all day at work with out any issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
Awesome ROM! Just installed yesterday & I'm loving it. Like the new Halo 2.0 and am happy to see that everything seems to be running without issue for me.

3 questions: 1) is there a way to turn off the awful split screen in system settings and go to the traditional one? I've used ROMs that have that as an option but this is the 1st I've seen where I can't find the option to toggle it.

B) any way to prevent the volume keys from adjusting volume when I've got it set to silent? JellyBAM couldn't and I had to abandon it - I'd have the phone on silent & brush the volume key & end up with it on vibrate or still making noises. When I need silent, I NEED silent!

3) I'm noticing my Tasker profile to turn GPS on and off for use by camera, maps, & other apps that I choose to access GPS, doesn't work. Is Tasker locked out of that setting now that anyone's aware of?

Thanks for any answers in response & happy to be using this - it's my first foray into 4.3 and I know I picked the right ROM!

I have been having one of these 4 issues on my device as well. For me, if I restart the phone google play music won't play any of my songs (local, or from the web) until I clear the app data, and re-setup the app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 117micc:
So to install should I wipe data too? I did a factory reset, but when I wipe data that wont delete eveything on my sdcard and internal storage will it?

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

So I flashed this and it boots, but the damn keyboard keeps force closing on boot, so I cant sign into anything... ugh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
Need a different GAPPS package. I found one that purports to fix the problem with the keyboard and I've found it to be true.

It's PA-gapps-full-4.3-20130917

I don't know where I found it but it works. No issues thus far.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 117micc:
Thanks found it on goo manager, downloading now, will update after trying it ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kennedy87:
Rebooting my phone did not fix it. Nor did flashing BMS Kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] billypoke:
1) Hybrid settings, if you still have the quick toggle (with the wifi , gps, brightness, etc) that is the easiest way. Just change the layout to a smaller number. 1.360p is the phone layout. Otherwise go to the hybrid settings from the regular settings menu, apps, find settings in the app list and do the same thing.

2)not sure

3)You need secure settings helper from the play store. It's a plug in that gives additional capabilities to Tasker and other apps like it. You can set up the gps correctly with it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 117micc:
So I got it working, finally but the camera app seems to be broken... wondering if there was a fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteBoy997:
so far this rom has been superb, although the only problem i have noticed is that my ringtone or notification tones dont seem to be working. i checked the volumes, and changed the ringtones of each, and still no luck. any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zzim:
Idk if i'm going crazy but I thought that Cyanogen's voice plus came with this rom. I love the msg app integration is there anyway to make this work on your rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bamaredwingsfan:
Has anyone had any issues with snapchat freezing up the camera when making a video? Pictures work fine but not video
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] somerandomguy1:
Update your sig with your kernel so we can help you :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Badouken:
Its really hit or miss, like it happened to me a couple times in one day or it doesnt happen at all for a day or two. Im on PA-gapps-full-4.3-20130911 though so hopefully ill have better experience with the newer PA-gapps-full-4.3-20130917! Other than that the entire rom is pretty flawless for me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Obaterista93:
Yeah, I've had that issue on all AOSP Roms, 4.2 and 4.3. Sometimes it works, sometimes it soft reboots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dr. Light:
i'm sure theres a simple way to do this in the settings or something but i cant find it anyway to set colors for the status bar/icons for the entire phone and not just per app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emomike25:
Only way around that cainman is to go into BT setting and click on the options icon for whatever device you're connected to and uncheck the 2nd box. I think it's "play media through Bluetooth device" something along those lines. You'll just have to recheck it if you want to stream media through that Bluetooth device in the future. Just in case nobody else responded to this!!! If so, disregard!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pizzachef:
Is anyone else having trouble getting exchange contacts to sync? Mail and calendar come through fine, but contacts won't sync. Just wondering if its a common problem or something I'm doing wrong. I can't get it to work in any AOSP type ROM. The TW based ROM's sync ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] notta:
3.99 Update!

I attempted to look over bluetooth for you guys as well. Nothing immediate jumped out at me but there has been several changes and some possible upcomming changes in that department. Since the d2vzw is the only one affected, I added a call to force shutdown when turning bluetooth off strictly for this device! Not a perfect solution by far but until a proper fix is found and hey, it appears to be working (in theory) and will eliminate the need of a reboot or force stopping it yourself! Since I really don't follow alot of things, if there is a known fix for the d2 bluetooth please pass along... :)

In other news, sadly I think my hard drive is acting up again. It's warrantied still but dang! :eek:

AOSP 4.3 r3.1 base (JLS36G)

Build BluetoothExt

Remove Focal

Fix 3 dot menu overflow

Sync up with Paranoid Android

Sync up and merge available CM source
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Burkejt1:
Anyone else having a problem with the status bar just dissapearing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbenson1226:
Quick question. How do I change the status bar + nav bar transparency on just the lock screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Burkejt1:
If I would like a build that is reliable, which one should I flash? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigtlt:
They've honestly all been super reliable for me. I wouldnt fear flashing the latest. That's what I will be doing tonight.

That being said the 9/17 build has been awesome. Seems to have squashed a bug for myself that I haven't even seen others mention.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Burkejt1:
I flashed the milestone build and the dialer/phone app did nothing but crash during calls, flashed the one before the lastest and the status bar and halo don't show up the whole time, I know what I'm doing, not really sure I get while there is always something wrong...it always seems to be a waste of time when I try to flash because something major like the dialer or the status bar bugs up immediately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gobmonster:
I'm really frustrated by this rom. Its the camera support.

The front camera only works in the google camera app, anywhere else and it freezes/restarts the phone. An even dumber issue is i can shoot video on the front camera but cant play it back in the gallery. This rom port is a joke
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kreeker:
Settle down. Notta doesn't work for you, or any of us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
Is anyone else updating supersu with each rom update? I know that root is a little different with 4.3, but that the latest is patched to handle that. Clockwork seems to think somethings wrong though and wants to fix it after I update so that I can get into the supersu app.

Also, sometimes my phone does not see the internal storage until I reboot. Sometimes the boot animation tears and flips in half (I have rotation enabled on the lock screen because I use it in the car mount often). Unlocking the phone is where it always locks up (as if not waking properly). After a lockup, I often reboot on start after pulling the battery or it is likely to become unstable quickly and apps to force close (like a memory leak issue). These are my major problems, the 9/11 build was the most stable, am going to update to the latest today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] charlieg90:
So it seems my trusty old S3 may finally be kicking the bucket.... It lost the ability to connect to 3g and 4g, and can only get 1x (and even that is extremely unreliable), and absolutely nothing I can do will fix it. Voice and text seems fine, but seeing as tethering is my only source of internet where i live now (unlimited still, hooah), I can't just make do with it as is. I've tried ODINing to stock (several times), changing kernels, modems, ROMs, SIM cards, and I even rechecked and reinforced all of the antenna connections on the mobo. The only real option i have left is swapping the mobo (and probably the rear panels too, they house most of the antenna assemblies), and i am loath to bet the $50-100 cost of an S3 with a broken screen on that longshot...

My best guess as to the cause of this is the ~77GB of traffic i've run through my phone in the past few weeks (torrents, lol). So everybody take note, tether conservatively!

So now it looks like i'll be getting a new phone instead, as much as i hate to leave my favorite ROM and dev of all time. :[ I'm debating between the LG G2 and the Moto X.

I realize that this is extremely off-topic, but i would really appreciate any input from you guys (especially you, notta!), seeing as this has been my ROM ~95% of the time i've had my S3. One of the main deciding factors for me is dev friendliness, and the G2 and MX boards are basically deserted, still. Any enlightenment y'all can share would be greatly appreciated.

tldr: S3 broke fml, G2 or Moto X?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RoboJoe:
Have you tried going to the dialer, dialing *#*#INFO#*#*, selecting 'Phone info', and making sure 'Set preferred network type' is set to "LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)"?

Also, at 77GB of traffic, you can (read: should) contact Verizon and make sure they didn't cut you off for some reason. They're sketchy like that.

Finally, when pulling your SIM card, boot the phone *without* the card, wait a few minutes, power down, and boot back up with the SIM card.

These are just random suggestions I'd try if it were my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
Flashed the latest, did not update supersu and did not install avast anti theft on system using root option and everything seems to be great now. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SH4YD33:
I would say (For this billing cycle atleast) Verizon hates your guts and is forcing you onto 1x.. Lol Do you have a grandfathered unlimited plan? Otherwise 77GB is gonna be stupid expensive..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emomike25:
Camera works fine here bud. This build is the fits for me! Battery life is settling. Most times its user error that a simple reflash will fix. Maybe even need to re root and start over.... But throwing a random ignorant post in a thread where there's hundreds of people who will bend over backwards to help out with any issues, talking about the ROM being a joke is DEFINITELY not gonna get you any support. A ROM that has been being developed as long as notta has been building this PA, is certainly not a joke! Sorry... Can't stand disrespect like that.

Church :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
Charlie, you have to reprovision your phone and to do that you have to Odin all the way back to the original ICS rom. No other stock rom will work. Once you are there, there is a dialer code to input and your phone resets itself and you get your service back. PM me if needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbenson1226:
Posts like that are definitely unnecessary the way it was delivered but there is some truth. Third party cameras (Camera Zoom in particular) do not play nice with the front facing camera.

This has been a love/hate relationship with the GS3 for me. Can't wait to get back on a Nexus device :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kkozma:
Question for you guys who are building this.

I'm maintaining the unofficial port of PA3.99 for the HTC Rezound, and I'm having a hell of a time getting it to build with the correct CDMA APN list. Looking at the build it looks like it's ignoring the product copy of the CDMA apn list because there's already a product copy call to the destination file somewhere else. Are you guys having the same issue?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] charlieg90:
Respectively:

1. Just tried it, got great lte signal for five minutes, then back down to nothing.

2. I checked with both phone customer/tech support and a really awesome and knowledgeable rep at a corporate store nearby, and there's no throttling/restriction that we can find. Besides, their timing would've been incredible, throttling me precisely in the five minutes that I had my phone apart...

(EDIT: Yeah, I didn't mention it in my first post, but this started when I opened up my phone to fix the sticky power button. I didn't do anything but remove the connections, pull the mobo, very carefully I might add, and then reassemble everything. It happening exactly then is part of the reason why I assumed it was a hardware issue.)

3. Yup, tried it both before and after swapping SIMs. Thanks very much for the suggestions dude, I didn't know about the *#*#INFO#*#* thing!

Haha yeah, of course I still have unlimited! I'm not tossing money around like Kim Dot Com over here... And as to the throttling, see above. Thank you though!

WHAT

Is this a known issue? So you need the full ODIN wipe? I only ever tried with the no-wipe versions! Wait, I'll stop cluttering the thread, PM speeding your way!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] notta:
Thats a lot of data for weeks.. lol Getting your moneys worth! :good:

I can't really give you any advice on other phones as I have only had 3 phones myself and all samsung.. Hopefully restoring will get you back. I do however recall a situation back when i had my fascinate activated and I just started ROM flashing, I lost my 3g and the only connection I could get was 1x. The connection was really spotty and pretty much the only way to keep it from dropping was to keep a constant data pull. This was back on complete stock too!

Verizon wanted to do a warranty return but I argued, after awhile on the phone with tech it came to the inclusion that they on there end needed to re-provision/re-authorize my phone. They made some statement I don't remember but in short was claiming something about seeing a few activations in a short amout of time and with it being a new smartphone on the account, it was just a lot going on. That makes me think that they new I was flashing ROMS. I powered down they did there thing and I was golden since! I might have had to dial a number as well.

Maybe it will help maybe not. Go back to stock call them and just say you we reading something about other people in the situation and maybe they will try it. I would however tear it back apart and just go over everything again since you said it started after cleaning your button, perhaps something grounded out or have a finicky case and if you tighten a screw too much it causes it. Just some thoughts and hope it works out for ya!

Why don't we just disregard that PM as well! :)

Yeah the other call for the apn is coming from "build/target/product/full_telephony_base.mk"!

So if your call is prior to the above it will get overwritten...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kkozma:
Thank you! I figured that's where it was coming from... Do you have the same issue? All I did was put that inherit cmda.mk in my pa_product.mk.

I may just edit that full_telephony_base.mk and nuke the other call if I can't figure it out elsewhere.

Speaking of... If yours is copying the wrong apn list, that could be the guy's issue above. With the default APN list the data connectivity on my phone is very similar in behavior. Easy way to check, if the APN is larger than 18kb, it's the wrong one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Maphack:
I think I'm going to crack 100gb for the third consecutive month...I have about 4gigs until I hit 100 for the month so if that comforts you at all...

*knocks on wood*

Losing unlimited data would be tragic...

Since going to the 24th build from the 13th build my battery life has plummeted. Has anyone else experienced this? On the 13th build I would normally go to bed (11pm-ish) after a full day of normal use with 20-30% battery remaining. The last few days my phones been completely dead by 6pm. I'll have to look again tonight to see what my phone says is causing the most drain. Just wondering what others experience has been. Other than that I love the rom thanks Notta!

Should I reflash gapps or the rom?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Maphack:
I suppose Verizon is making a ridiculous amount of money off of the family share plan and since they have such a small limit, Verizon doesn't have to worry about its servers being tapped out and have to resort to throttling...

Maybe..?

I just flashed over to this from PAC Man. So far rom is great but I'm dealing with a couple of bugs:

1.) Alarm clock is FC'ing when it's supposed to alert me at set time

2.) Front and Rear camera won't do video record with SnapChat

The second issue isn't so important but my clock is extremely important. I've tried another clock app off the market and it also has the same issue with FC'ing during wake notification

Method of install:

Boot in CWM Recovery

Wipe Cache and Dalvik

Wipe/Reset in Recovery

Install PA (9/24 Build) and GApps (130821?)

Wipe Cache and Dalvik again

Reboot

First time I did this my AOSP keyboard kept FC'ing so I had to put another keyboards APK into my SD and install from home in order for me to actually put in any information to sync my account with my phone. After that headache I ran into these two problems.

Anyone have any idea on how to address these issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bamdroid:
Make sure you're using pa gapps 9/17..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ifizik:
Thanks for the response.

I could not locate the link to the PA Gapps release 9/17. The link on the front page send me to 20130301. Is there an app installed on the phone that updates Gapps accordingly?

Edit: After treading into the 400's pages of the thread I found the link.. I'll flash the newest version and hopefully see if that helps my issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm on mobile but you can usually find them on GooManager or Goo.im under "PA Full Gapps."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emomike25:
Notta the battery on this build has been ridiculous! I do have a zero lemon battery but at no point in time was it ever like this!

youtube

Is anybody having problems with youtube not playing, kind of sputtering on the latest PA Gapps 4.3 20130926 ?

EDIT: Went back to PA 4.3 20130917 Gapps youtube is now working again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ifizik:
Yea installing the newest Gapps has done nothing for me.. odd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doratheconquistadora:
I was having the exact opposite effect and I was getting alarm clock FCs which is not good at all so I had to restore to my backup :/

EDIT: I haven't been always up to date and my problem was actually on the 9/17 build. I will try the 9/24 build. I was using the 9/17 PA Gapps on the 9/17 build though. Currently back on the 9/6 build.

I keep getting 404 Not Found every time I try. Anyone else?

Edit: pretty sure it's down. If anyone has a link, I'd really appreciate it. Otherwise I guess I will wait it out until the next release
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ifizik:
I'm also having issues with my clock. It's killin' me. I'm on 9/24 build and even with an alarm clock app from the play store it's still giving FC errors
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisrook:
I'm having a problem updating to the latest version. I downloaded the one from March from Goo, and the rom is telling me there is a new update, but whenever I download it, and go to flash it, I can't find it in CWM. Am I possibly doing something wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] billypoke:
The most recent rom is dated 9/24 and is located here and the latest gapps is dated 10/3 and is located here. Anything from March is going to be woefully outdated. As for the download location, the two most probable locations are /storage/emulated/0/Download (if downloading through a web browser) or /storage/emulated/0/goomanager (if updating through the Goo.im app). Both of those folders should be on the root of the internal SD card unless you've changed them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisrook:
Thank you for that, i'll download and flash those on now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisrook:
Alright, flashed 3.99 and the latest Google apps, but I keep getting AOSP keyboard has stopped working and it no keyboard shows up when I go to type something. I thought the Google apps keyboard was supposed to replace the stock AOSP keyboard completely, does it not?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doratheconquistadora:
Did you wipe the cache and dalvik cache after flashing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisrook:
Yep, the only thing I didn't do was factory reset. But, the first post said anything 3+ doesn't have to be factory reset when updating.
