As I try to make calls the 3g connection drops and my friend has same 3g card with same APN settings but his 3g connection didn't dropped when making calls. The only difference is that he's on touchwiz based ROM... This is troubling me a lot recently... Don't wanna leave PA :confused::(

It must be something related to backups and stuff like that.

I don't think it's a bug, maybe it's just that you haven't found the backups yet.

I suggested you tried different paths

Try going into

Mnt/shell/clockworkmod

Or try using ROM managers to see if you have backups.

If it says it's occupying space, then it is.

Do you have root explorer?

Hi, I'm fairly new to android rom, but I was wondering, is it possible to do the following:

1. Can I add a brightness bar to the top of the screen? in the Task manager area bit?

2. Can I add a settings button in the top of the screen, in the Task manager area bit?

3. Is it possible to get menu long press for kill app?

4. Is it possible to get shortcut stuff to wifi and things like that on the task manager bit? I think its called a power widget?

5. is it possible to turn on the thing where I can swype left and right on the bottom of the task manager bit to go in between the two take manager windows.

Hi all, I hope you can help me.

I have an sdcard which will no longer mount. It doesn't say it needs formatting just sits there checking for errors for ages and then just gives up.

I've tried to see the card in recovery and I can see all the files there fine.

So I have no idea why it won't mount.

Please help,

Thanks Chris
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePureHeart:
Use SDMaid to search your entire device

1.,2. Task manager? What are you talking about? Do you mean the notification bar? If so, no you cannot add brightness slider unless there is an xposed module out there. The Settings button is already available in the tiles area of the notification bar.

3. No, but there is an option to bring up recent applications. You can kill apps from there.

4. Again, check the tiles. In Android 4.0 you have access to wifi toggles in the notification bar.

5. I don't know what this task manager is that you keep mentioning. Maybe take a screenshot because you're definitely using the wrong words.

Have you tried formatting using a computer?

Thanks, yes notification bar thats the thing!! I wasn't too sure what it was called, so I just called it a task manager, thanks for clearing that up for me :). This is what I was hoping to get it similar to although I found the image online:

http://www.androidentity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/samsung-galaxy-s3-notifications.jpg

I had a similar set up on a few other roms I've used so was hoping I could get something similar since paranoid android really seems to work really nicely for me.

Thanks for your answers though, seems that a lot of things I was hoping to get is still possible, but not the way I was used to, guess it means either I change or the ROM changes, haha hmm hmm this is going to take me some time to think haha.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePureHeart:
Haha :P

That's a touchwiz ROM, is it not? You can get those features with Power Toggles. Or I Android 4.2+ you can have a second notification bar, one for notifications and one with toggles.

I think you should give PA a try. Play with it and learn, and you'll love it :)

Vine/Instagram video issue

I am unable to record video at all in Vine, ('unfortunately, Vine has stopped) and in Instagram it has the resolution of a potato, which wouldn't be an issue if I could upload video from the phone, which I can't. (Although I think that's an issue with the app) And besides being low resolution, it's the wrong resolution, the picture is squashed. Currently running the latest version (3.99) with Googy Max kernel 3.0.99.

is there a workaround for this? It's not a dealbreaker because I love this rom but it's annoying because I use both those apps a fair bit.

Hi all and thanks for your work, really a wonderful wonderful rom!

Since 2.50 i've seen that the option that can turn the status bar transparent is back.

It works but not when an app is running.

I mean it works but not as good as i've seen on some sammy jb roms.

Here on PA the transparency is perfect in home screens, but into applications it fades to white and not to black as it's meant to be.

Could please take into account to fix this in the next release?

I was on PAC-man for the past few weeks, and had been facing these two major issues: random shut-downs, and WiFi refusing to wake after sleep. Tried several kernels, problems persisted.

I never saw anyone else having this issue (On PA) . Try going into your WiFi settings and set the sleep policy to "always" ?

It could be an app causing this too.

Or restored data.

Did you use any apps to restore like the WiFi keys? Or any other apps/data?

For some other users in other phones, unchecking the "use WiFi for location" in the maps app, fixed it. But I don't know what's the deal with that.

If nothing works at all, you might wanna clean install again /:

Ok, so I'm on stock 4.2.2. leaked rom (correct term?) on my SGS III (international).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchpunk:
Hey there.

Well, actually you don't really have to worry about the radio and boot loader things. The only thing you gotta make sure is that you update your recovery to the latest version.

Get the ROM zip and the latest PA gapps ( or your preferred gapps) in your SD card.

And all you have to do is this:

-Reboot into recovery

-Make a backup ( if you want to )

- wipe data/factory reset

- install the ROM zip ( which would be the RC2 )

- install the gapps package

- wipe cache and reboot.

First boot after installing a new ROM always takes longer than usual so, don't freak out or anything, just let it boot up for just a couple of minutes. It shouldn't take longer than 5-8

About the kernel, you can do just fine with the stock kernel that will already be installed with the ROM.

But if you want another kernel, I recommend googy max. You can get to it by clicking the banner on my signature and install it after the gapps.

After it boots up, make sure everything you use mostly is working and you don't have any WiFi issues or stuff like that.

And then you can proceed to restore your apps if you have them but make sure they're only user apps not system

Cause sometimes restoring data causes trouble, so be careful. (:

The ROM is amazing, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

For any other questions continue to using this thread.

Enjoy!

Thank you very much for the information, mate! Really nice of you! Very helpful!

I have installed it now and it feels amazing. My phone seems faster than ever and it looks great too!

WiFi has dropped twice and the mobile coverage seems to vary a lot, but it might be due to bad reception in the room I was in. Have moved to the living room now, so hopefully it's a none issue ;) Will give it some time. When I logged into my Google account it started to download some Samsung apps. Could that cause an issue? I quickly tried to stop them but one or two got installed before I could do so. Also, will I need to root my device again? I used the CF-Auto-Root last time.

Regarding Kernels, I'll might check it out later ;) I have enough play with for now :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pickandwhammy:
Strange. I've set sleep policy to never now, because I'd rather not have to keep rebooting after wake. Didn't use TiBkp to restore any system settings, only user apps. I'll try the Maps thing, though it seems far-fetched.

I think it's a driver-grade issue, it's unable to power back on at times.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchpunk:
The restoring after logging into Google it's normal. Its just fetching back the apps you had previously installed on your previous ROM. They should cause no issue at all, and no. You won't need to root your device again. It's cool (: just enjoy the ROM now

After installing this ROM I've had troubles, basically my phone refuses to charge on any ROM now unless its 4.2.1 and even then it takes 7 hours to charge to 93%, I've tried flashing a few other ROMs but still still same problem and this is all since I installed paranoid android for the first time. Everything worked fine prior go that. Any ideas anyone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchpunk:
I don't really think it has anything to do with PA but you can try a few things.

- Change your cable, it could be damaged ( and charge with original charger of course ) one time I had a similar issue to this and it was simply cause of a bad cable.

- take the battery out then put it back in again

- Check battery use; an app could be causing this.

- running clean install for a while

- let it discharge until it dies and charge it while being off

- Or go back to clean stock firmware and starting fresh.

Get latest stock firmware

Flash using Odin.

Wipe everything on the phone

( of course make your needed backups if you want )

And start fresh

OR ... Do some more research about this battery issue.

If anyone else has a better advice/solution, feel free to teach me something new today. (:

Bluetooth audio streaming problems.

Just installed the rom yesterday, and was really happy with bluetooth audio streaming. streamed for about an hour to my car stereo using spotify, and it was faultless.

I then installed Googymax 1.7.5 last night. (wiped cache/davlik) as well.

This morning, went for a drive, and the bluetooth streaming was atrocious.. just stuttering about 50% of the time..

I did a reboot of the phone, but it made no difference.

I also streamed some local (downloaded) music from Spotify, (to rule out 3g network), but it had the same issue.

Does anyone know.

a) is bluetooth streaming known to work properly?

b) is goggy max known to have issues with bluetooth streaming?

I have just updated to 1.7.6 Googy max this morning.. will see how that goes.

Thanks for any feedback.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchpunk:
Googy max questions should belong on Googy max thread directly, not here cause it's not a PA rom issue.

If your bluetooth was alright before you flashed googy max then it's most likely obvious that googy max has issues with bluetooth streaming.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llewelld:
Well in that case, my next question is

What kernel can I use that allows undervolting that works with Paranoid Android and is stable ? FYI Googy Max is recommended in the paranoid #1 so i thought it fair to assume it would work with the rom.

Is this possible with the stock kernel in PA? I have used stweaks and it was not compaitble with the stock kernel. I am looking for maximum battery life and stability.

Thanks.
