Did you add an Exchange email? Often enterprises set security restrictions. One of these is the ability to disable the lockscreen widgets. I work for a university, and when I add my work email, I lose the ability to use the lockscreen widgets. I have noticed that on 4.4, this restriction does not seem to be in place. I don't know if our admins removed the restriction about the same time I moved to 4.4, or if Android no longer provides this as a device administrator option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Gutsman:
So far I'm loving this ROM. With KToons kernel I'm getting 2.5+ hrs screen time and over 12 hrs standby! Has anyone been able to get Chainfire's logcat and dmesg boot screens to work with this ROM yet? I just get a black screen until my phone boots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flamus:
Flashed back to Stock. Now I can't even reboot to fix the SIM Card (though it may have been broken before the flash). Now, I am having update to 4.3. Sadly, that would be good by to PA for now as well. I need to take my phone to VZW and either way the phone will be put on 4.3. :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
Anyone else having issues putting files on external SD card from their desktop? I'm trying to load music and it says "phone not responding or was disconnected" every time, yet clearly shows everything on the SD card (not the stuff in trying to add, but things that are already on there). It's odd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doratheconquistadora:
I had that exact same problem. Eventually I started getting the SD card error on my phone too saying it needed to be reformatted and all that garbage. That's twice I've lost an external SD card to this phone... I've given up on using an external SD card on this phone anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
I use a micro sd adapter. Turn the phone off, take out card, put it in adapter and connect thru SD card slot on my laptop or thumb drive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
It might be the exFAT you formatted your card with. It's source code is proprietary of Microsoft, so even when it is supported, it's touch and go. I used a tool to format my 64gb microsdxc to fat32 which is compatible with any OS since 1995.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pelo88:
Just wanted to say thanks to the latest build from the 24th.. My Bluetooth works perfect now! Everything does. Amazing rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
That was my plan B and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

I formatted using Fat32,so I should be good. I've been dragging and dropping files for years without issue until this past attempt. No change except the ROM. Thought it may be a Kit Kat or PA issue. No biggie though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1900mcm:
Are all you encryption blues fixed? I haven't tried encryption yet, but the same PW for start and lockscreen, etc was one thing I disliked about about 4.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pelo88:
Haven't done device encryption just a lockscreen pin. I'm afraid of cwm touch not being able to read an encrypted os...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] netlagger:
Hmmm....So this may be an entirely dumb question, but I guess this is what happens when I leave paranoid for a few months and then return to it. What happened to pie and the hybrid features? Did that all go away with 4.0? Am I not seeing something or doing something? That was one of the best things with this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
Since the move from 4.3 to 4.4 they decided to remove those feature thus making it an stock AOSP experience. But in the future they'll begin to re add them so hold on tight. 4.4 is very stable IMO

And if you want pie, just install LMT launcher (search xda) it's similar to pie.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] netlagger:
Do you happen to know which is Notta's last 4.3 build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
If I'm not mistaken, it's the last 3.99 build on gooIm. Everything thats 4.0 and beyond is 4.4.x
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flamus:
They are rebuilding from the ground up using the KK source. Because of this, they are slowing adding back in PIE and HALO. No ETA of course. For PIE, you can try the LMT Launcher (similar, requires root) or PIE Control (similar, non-root). I miss HALO. =\

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

Last 4.3 build

4.4 if very stable if you can hold off on some of the miss features.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] narsciso:
I'm running on the last 4.3 build. Does anyone have a certain kernel they would like to recommend for it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Gutsman:
Ktoonsez kernel is always a good choice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] notta:
AOSPA 4.0 BETA Update!

Still not much going on right now... A new update none the less!

Dark Paranoid (TRDS) updates to DocumentsUI, Mms, Email, Settings and frameworks. Additional signal strength checks, locksreen blur fixes, PA Easter Egg & QS fixes, stuff like that!

http://goo.im/devs/notta/roms/d2vzw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
I think something might be broken maybe in this build? Now I cannot connect to the cellular network at all. Airplane mode doesn't turn on and off right, settings crashes.

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

I had to roll back. It could have something to do with flashing the 11.26 paranoid android gapps. They didn't show correctly. The 12.30 package worked fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] netlagger:
Thanks for the input guys. The reason I was wanting that is because I love the hybrid mode. Where you can change from Phone to phablet and so on. 4.0 wasn't quite to my liking.

Notta you still do some marvelous work and you know I have been following you since my fasci days. Keep it up brother.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
Anyone on the latest build yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Maphack:
Yeah, but I haven't done too much on it. Seems stable enough. Then again, all of these 4.4 builds have been stable for me.

Sent from my SCH-I535

:thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kreeker:
I too lost my data connection. Rolling back to 12.24 now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1900mcm:
No issues experienced with the latest (20140103) build. Airplane working. Data working. Wifi working. Phone working.

Solid DD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
I'm sure a factory reset would most likely make 1.04 work well. I just don't want to do that if I do not need to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Maphack:
Strange. I've been dirty flashing ever since I clean flashed from pac to the first alpha build and haven't had issues.

Sent from my SCH-I535

:thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
Same here. Might do some experimenting later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] netlagger:
This is for the 3.99 build. Anyone else have trouble installing a custom kernel? I have tried multiple ones and when I flash and reboot, the screen is all messed up and have to end up reflashing without the custom kernel. I have tried multiple kernels and they all give me the same result.

Never mind, figured out what the problem was. Just have to read kernels better next time lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kreeker:
I've been dirty flashing for a while now. I'll try a full wipe when I get home and report back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
I'm considering trying different gapps and reflashing the baseband if necessary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aj8600:
Does this rom include the bionic dalvik optimizations?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kreeker:
I just did a clean wipe and data looks to be working now.

What gapps are you guys using? I'm using one from November.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JumperPunk:
For those who have had issues connecting to the cellular data, on the 24 Dec build, I would frequently not get any cell service on boot. Rebooting would fix it. It just seemed like sometimes it would boot up solid, and other times it would trip over its own feet and never get stable on booting. This was after a clean flash (probably more than one). I just upgraded to the latest (03 Jan) build, so I can't comment on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
PA 0-day gapps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jayjr1105:
Wow, love this ROM so far. By far best battery life from a 4.4 ROM. I literally haven't found a glitch yet, super happy! Keep up the good work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
Went back the the latest version and flashed the full 12.15 gapps. I did not have to do a full wipe. It's all perfect so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lord_Tardis:
Just did a dirty flash and connected no problem. Bott went well and it connected to cell and data service without a problem. Dark Parinoid works well. would like to see hangouts inverted but that is just a personal thing. Everything seems to run well coming off a dirty flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stu1811:
I just flashed the 1/3 build over the 12/15 build with the 12/30 stock gapps. From the home screen I am no longer able to say "Ok Google" and have it start a search. If I click the voice button in the search bar it either says "Can't reach Google at the moment" or it does not record my voice input. The phone was connected to my home wifi during this test.

Edit: holy battery usage batman
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
I just tested this. Have exactly the same results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Beemer533:
Great ROM so far! Very few glitches for me, and actually my Bluetooth works better then when I was running PA 3.99....

Question though, I'm probably blind, but is there a caller blocking mode built in? I just want to be able to block specific numbers, or at least send them to VM. I'd prefer not to use an app, but no big deal either way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stu1811:
Open a contact, select menu, and select "All calls to voicemail"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CKyl22:
Does this ROM have Halo or PIE controls anywhere? Or PA settings? I can't find anything of the sort.

However it's super stable with nice battery life!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
I think the great battery life this release is due to the microphone being disabled outside of dialer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stu1811:
Pie and halo controls are being rewritten in kitkat. They are not available yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Quickpaw:
I seem to be one of the unlucky ones who lost data and general service after flashing the 1/3 ROM. It was a dirty flash over 12/24, after which, I cleared both caches. I tried a few reboots and a battery pull, but still no service.

Dirty flashed back to 12/24 and I'm up and running again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
If you check my post, I was able to flash 1/3 after I had lost data and rolled back the first time. I believe it has to do with the gapps you choose. Flashing the ROM, wiping cache and dalvik, flashing the full paranoid android gapps 12/15 build, and then wiping cache and dalvik again allowed it to install properly. Though this build actually seems more buggy, it does have better battery life it seems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Quickpaw:
No luck after installing 1/3, clear cache, Full Gapps, clear cache. Back to 12/24.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LeoRex:
The only one I could load was bms from 9/29. There are some driver mismatches if you go later with PA 3.99. And any other kernels I've tried hang at the splash screen no matter what build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Torfin:
Locked into 3G

Chain of events:

Was on November build of 3.99, flashed to 12/13 build of 4.4.2 and everything was fine. I think clean flashed the 1/3 4.4.2 build and now my phone is locked into 3G in areas where I had full signal 4G.

I've attempted different basebands as well as flashing back to early 3.99 builds but I just can't seem to get my LTE back. I can however go into mobile networks under settings and forcibly set the network to LTE/CDMA/EVO and i'll get LTE back however I can't make phonecalls, check voicemail or send text messages.

Anyone experiencing something similar?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Skyrocketing:
Just got this ROM, and so far it's working nearly perfectly. Only a few issues.. Where are the PA settings? And my battery is being used a ton by Google Search, what app is that exactly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
Google search is using 41% of my battery. 1/3 build doesn't seem to have much if any benefit over 12/24 for me, deciding whether to roll back or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LeoRex:
That would be Google now's voracious appetite for wakelocks.. Most likely the location services.

Disable the location stuff in Google settings to test.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Skyrocketing:
My location is already off. :|
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
That mic voice command attempting to connect to Google fail seems more logical.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unboostedzc:
anyone with video recording issues somewhere between 12/17 and 1/3 builds?

clean flashed 1/3, reflashed camera mod like usual, try to take video and camera/gallery instantly crashes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stu1811:
I think I found a temporary fix. If you disable Google now from listening for "Ok Google" it doesn't lock the microphone and eat your battery.

From the home screen hit menu

Select Settings.

Select Voice.

Turn off "Hotword detection"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Skyrocketing:
Going to try this out, I'll post back with results!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LeoRex:
Yep... the X8 MCS.... which is what this particular 'always listening' feature is more or less designed around...

Hopefully, over time, you'll see more and more phones integrated with low-power cores to handle all these 'always on' tasks.... Most people lose a good deal of their battery charge when the phone's just sitting there, idle, as the phone goes off and does a laundry list of background tasks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] frodo_lives:
Running PA 4.4.2 and my battery is rapidly draining.

Android OS is using 65% of my battery. Been on 4 hours on down to 45% battery. Any ideas or help would be awesome.

keep GPS on or Google Now will cause a wake lock, draining ur battery. GPS won't be used unless you activate an app that uses it.

I don't think so, it was just to announce that it's going to have a new look and it's coming SOON
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LeoRex:
Nice to see that progress is being made... The current builds are basically just framework, with little features... very un-PA... hopefully they get some sources with the good stuff released and we get some soon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yamaha_wins:
Having issues with the Google search feature. Mic doesn't seem to be working, when I click on the mic in the Google now search I get a message saying. Can't reach Google at the moment
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
That, in my experience, is a "network" problem, not a Google Now app or mic problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Eyalkn:
It is something to do with this rom. I tried uninstalling the Google Search app and re-installing it from the play store and I also tried restoring apn settings which I pre-saved from a functional rom and the issue is still there. Also tried using Wi-fi and got the same issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Badouken:
Its beeeaaauuttiiiffuuulll!!!!!! Cant wait for it to be added into some new builds!!! :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flamus:
Umm.. Anyone able to sideload an app from the phone? The install button isn't working but you can cancel button is. Happens if unknown sources is checked our not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheLynxy:
That seems to be a security thing. The install button does not permit anything to overlay it. Disable any apps that might be overlaying, such as Lux.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flamus:
I will have look into it. I didn't think I have installed anything using overlays.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
I had that problem on 4.3 builds. Can't remember what fixed it, but probably updating the ROM did it. I had a lot of folders within folders on the sdcard as well I cleaned up usually in folders called 0. Something was causing that on a previous version of PA I believe. Lots of symbolic links have been made and a factory reset doesn't remove them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheClap:
How long should the green, yellow, red blue circles do their things for? Its been about 10 minutes now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
That is called a boot loop. Maybe you switched from another ROM and need to factory/data reset. At the least you need to have cleared cache and dalvik in the recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] icyhandofcrap:
My phone app seems to crash about half the time, did a new clean flash, as well as cleared data for the phone app, but it still persists. Anyone else with this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
I have had that happen on the 1/3 build. Personally think the 12/24 build is what people should stick to. No benefit to the 1/3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emomike25:
I was having horrible battery life as well at first and I have a 7000mah zero lemon battery. Normally I get at least 2 days off a full charge, and that's with some pretty heavy usage. Once I disabled the Google Search hot word detection (cool feature, but not pertinent) my battery life has been much much better. I'm still not sold on that being the ONLY thing that was beating my battery up but so far that's the only thing I disabled. Could also be that I let the rom settle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheClap:
Well that was weird, after doing a factory reset a second time and reflashing it seems to be working just fine. Im still getting crazy battery drain from Google Search even though I disabled the "Okay Google" thing though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
I decided to roll back to 12.24 since it works properly and has all the same features. The background changes in 1/3 only make my Bluetooth connect faster as a benefit which doesn't offset the Google search and dialer problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheClap:
Im thinking about doing that, but I really dont want to redownload all my apps again. I probably should have used it a little bit before doing so but whatever, live and learn.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
Oh. You don't have to factory reset between 4.4 versions of paranoid android. Just flash rom, clear cache, flash gapps and restart system.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheClap:
Oh, well then Im definitely going back to the 12/24 build, cant change call volume and for some reason my texts wont send but I can receive. I know this phone is way more than just a phone, but like, I still need the phone part to work hahaha. Cant wait for future releases!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Slic|<:
I have't had any issues with the dialer on the 1/3 build though I did encounter issues with my LTE... but that could be due to me not previously activating the phone first before switching to this rom. (dumb, i know ha-but i fixed it by switching back to the stock rom and getting a new sim and activating it... so currently my 4g is working.)

I was wondering though is the google dialer working correctly-as in can you search up business, etc already or do we still have to install the patched google dialer in order for that feature?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Badouken:
I personally had too many problems on the 1/03 build! My service was completely messed up! I'm on CM11 as of now... Ill flash back to PA once a new build is up! Sure notta is working hard on a new build perhaps even acting for the source code for the New Halo to come out.

Dark Paranoid (TRDS) updates to Mms & frameworks, Lightbulb - USB Tether - Combined LTE/2G/3G & Sleep QS tiles, Increasing ringtone, Double tap to sleep (More...), Bump fingerprint, Clear all recents long press to drop caches & clear all including last app, several misc and bump to BETA2!

Lightly tested as I have not been at my comp for a bit! :o

http://goo.im/devs/notta/roms/d2vzw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kreeker:
Thanks Notta. Did anyone lose their data connection after flashing?

*EDIT* Just did a full wipe & now data looks to be working. This is the second time this has happened to me :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manaox2:
I also lost data. I think the extra checks for signal data and framework update may have broken compatibility with system data. And voice commands. There is just something wrong with this and 1/3, especially if you don't flash the full gapps package.

I see the new dark mode, it's interesting, not sure I like it. My phone is running hot already. The keyboard seems much smoother and nicer than usual which is great. I like the new panels for toggles and sleep, light panel works properly now. I don't plan think any of the other bugs are fixed though, so not bothering to factory reset for now until voice commands get fixed, gonna restore my backup.

List of known issues:

Dialer sometimes crashes and resets data.

Voice hot key and command do not work and drain battery unless disabled.

Bluetooth does not automatically connect and sometimes does not send audio while connected unless you reboot, crashes on contact and text sync with on off loop.

Tethering does not automatically assign an IP address to connecting devices through dhcp, must set manual ip address to work.

All I can think of for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stu1811:
Thanks for all your hard work. This is an awesome rom.

I'd like to look thru the git commits. Do you have a public tree or should I clone the paranoid sources?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lvgdgts:
I thought I'd try this new beta but, after a clean flash, I lost ability to make phone calls. I went back to my Beanstalk 4.3 nandroid and I still get a popup stating "Mobile network not available." I've rebooted and I've verified I'm on Global network mode. Any help is much appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Travisholt92:
I was running the last version, loved it, really didn't want to switch, but I'd lose signal when receiving or making phone calls. And I'm assuming by the comments that there are still issues with losing service. :/ I need this rom in my life. I'm lost without it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lvgdgts:
Well, I toggled off and on each of my radios, switched back and forth between NV and RUIM/SIM and was finally able to get my phone working again.
