Currently using M5:

- Whenever I lose signal or lose data connection, data wont come back unless I reboot. I have tried the latest baseband and UGL1. Switching APNs or going in and out of Airplane mode doesnt work.

- Music over bluetooth (A2DP) doesnt work. I hear the system sounds and notifications, but music doesnt play with Google Music or Spotify. It works with Songify...

- As others have noted, battery drain is pretty high compared to stock ICS roms. Tested with full battery charge overnight (idle) and after 6 hours it was at 88% vs ICS Stock it would be around 96% left. Both tests were done on LTE (wifi disabled)

Yep, the DSP Manager/Music FX seem to be the problem with this rom and A2DP Bluetooth Streaming. This is a huge bug for me. Im going to freeze DSP Manager and give it a try. Ill let you know

To those losing signal:

I was reading in the T-Mobile FrostyJB forum yesterday, which uses an older leak than ours. We use 8, they use 6 and 7. Anyways, they had a solution to losing signal by removing some system file. I'm not sure if it's the same problem, but you might take a look in that forum.

Just want to say that I'm new to the galaxy s3. I came from a galaxy note running flappjaxx rom which was the best rom in my opinion. Now I'm on the s3 running this rom and Damn this thing is smooth and nice. No complaints here no unwanted data usage. I still do what I always do and run titanium backup to remove my unwanted programs and run autostarts to remove programs from running on there own. THIS ROM IS SMOOTH. Any overclocking on the s3 yet? Haven't really read around the forum

Im sticking with milestone 4.1 for now. Im getting 36-48hrs battery life, out of the sprint leak with normal use.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Just an fyi for ya'll. In the Updater app/themes/JB Domination theme is a no go. Boot loops on startup. Probably should have known better since the theme is 255mb's.

Haven't tried all the Themes yet but so far the rest are good.

GPS issues with Milestone 4.5

Hey drew, thanks so much for your hard work on these roms and for making all these Jelly Bean ports. I just wanted to let you know that a few of us had an issue with our GPS becoming totally nonfunctional from flashing the Milestone 4.5 Sprint leak.

It wasn't working on any other rom I flashed thereafter (Cyanogen, Team-Insomnia, Milestone 5) but I eventually got it work by flashing totally back to stock with ODIN and then doing a factory reset but a couple of people can't get it to work at all and are getting their phones replaced. Do you know have idea what could be causing the issue? Could it be a kernel issue?

I started a thread in Q&A about it over here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923067

Thanks again for your time and effort.

How did you solve the SOD?

The guys in the TMo forum are getting 3-5 hours screen time using FrostyJB which is based off an LI6/LI7 hybrid. I think that the LI8 leak is just power hungry.

There goes my Android System.. Chugging away at half of the battery. Would a logcat be of any help?

From SGS III on DG M5
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SynthDude2001:
I had this exact issue yesterday, and I didn't have enough time to look into it to determine the cause. You're right though, it does appear to be the DSP Manager - I froze the app in Titanium Backup and now Spotify audio over Bluetooth works as expected. Listened for almost two hours in the car this morning without any issues. Hope this helps someone else!

I'm on M5 and flashed the debloater zip. My calendar app is now gone and a restore from ROM Toolbox doesn't bring it back. Any ideas? I really don't want to reflash the whole ROM

You have a wakelock, a rogue program is running constantly. See how it shows your phone is always awake? Figure out what is causing that and your battery issues will be solved.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Realorasz:
Wouldn't it show that app itself, though? I can try disabling light flow but there isn't anything else I can think of that would do this.

From SGS III on DG M5
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arabcamel:
I think betterbatterystats will help you identify the wakelock
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ranova:
i dont think its a rogue app. Seems a lot of people have the Android System high utilization issue with this leaked JB rom. I had the exact same apps installed in ICS and this rom, and this rom has some pretty bad battery life (android system taking up about 80%, display less than 20%...)

I used betterbatterystats to check wakelocks and nothing seems out of the blue there. I really hope JB for ATT comes out soon!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Realorasz:
So yeah... I can try running alogcat for a while. That might help point to what part of the 'Android System' group of apks is doing this. Also, I'll see if using that 'cpu sleeper' app helps anything too.

Edit: logcat seems to be a dud..it keeps clearing itself somehow. I must have missed something.

I do know that when I turn the 'show cpu usage' option under development options, com.android.systemui and surfaceflinger seem to stick near the top of the list.

Static ZipAlign versus Dynamic

I learned the other day that the likely problem for those of using TWRP recovery and not being able to flash Themes on jellybean roms was the result of the rom using a Dynamic Zipalign file versus a Static Zipaline file -

i don't pretend to know what any of that means - but I do know when I changed the file in my rom the other day - I was able to flash themes in TWRP and it worked - where it never had worked previously.

My question Drew - is it possible that you can add this to the next Update so that anyone using TWRP can flash themes without having to jump thru hoops to do it? Or does this have some other consequence when you create the ROM -

Persionally, I know just enough to be very dangerous - so I don't even pretend to know why this works this way - what it does differently or anything else - I just know when you switch out that file with the one I posted a link for yesterday, it works. I was hoping that future versions could include the file already so that we wouldn't have to manually do this each time.

If this is too much to ask - forget it - don't worry about - I am not trying to make your life difficult - and I am very grateful for everything you have done so far - I look forward to future Roms - whether I can theme easily or not - but if you can do this - it sure would be appreciated by a lot of us.

Thanks again for everything Drew-

First of awesome Rom, the only thing I'm having trouble with its my in call volume is low, and my soft keys menus and back doesn't vibrate when pressed...anyone know how of a fix or am i not looking in the right menus...btw i do have hep feed back checked...thanks in advanced...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] john99teg:
how bad is everyones battery draining. Even if android system is priority on the battery draining, I still get pretty decent battery life. Currently on first full discharge, I am at 38 percent battery life on 13h 42m on battery with a screen time of 1h 30min. Alot of switching backup roms also for comparing during this discharge. One bug that I find a nuisance is waking up the device and its completely almost dark like its not turning the back light. Anyone else having that problem.

No internet what so ever

Hi there.

Firstly, I'd like to commend you on this great rom. I haven't, however, been able to get any sort of internet (other than WiFi) on my phone. Here are the details:

I have a Telus SGS3 on the Telus network.

I have tried both available LH1 and VE8 Canadian modems, both do nothing.

I have checked and re-checked the APN values and they are correct.

I have fiddled around with the different options in *#*#4636#*#* but nothing works.

I have installed this rom properly, and have also installed it a second time, properly.

Would you, or anything else, have any suggestions? I am running out of ideas...

Thank you!

NB: I should be getting LTE, but don't even get 3g or HSPA+. Phone is properly rooted, etc. LTE has worked on every custom rom that I've installed. I am using Milestone 5.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] john99teg:
What kind of issues that you found that were in the milestone 5? Like battery life drain? Oh man I am getting crazy excited lol. Just want a sneak peek like everyone
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] IcOpRo:

Modem

Do you think the modem will affect battery life at all with your next release. I'm on ATT and using the latest modem. I will switch it if it is recommended.

Thanks for the great ROM!!! I've been flashing like crazy and as much as I like AOSP, I keep coming back to this one. Just because I expect so much out of ICS, that I find it annoying now :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bitwiser:
Android system is #1 drain, over screen and apps. Today I had 11 hours on the battery, 1 hour 18 minutes of screen time, 10 minutes of phone. I would get almost double that on ICS ROM. Again, good for now, I can deal with it until better leaks come around or a fix is found ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JuannTwo3:
I get pretty bad battery life. I unplug it at 6 am check up on any notifications and then I put it on airplane mode when I get to work at 6:30 (I get barely any reception there). I listen to music for about 6 hours in total and by the end of the work day ( 3pm for me) my phone died. On other roms I would end up with ~ 40% left. I hope it gets resolved bc this rom is pretty sweet :thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bud951:
You sir, are a steely eyed missile man! (old fart slang) Any way to get the app drawer centered in dock? mang2o has a cool TweakWiz mod but only works on ICS. I figured one of you code monkeys maybe could find a way to do it here. Thanks for the work you put into this stuff!
