That's really weird. It's your WiFi working properly for other apps and stuff?

There was a guy who his WiFi wasn't connecting and he had to flash an external fix zip.

Other than that I'm afraid I can't really help you, I'm sorry

Have you googled this issue?

You're kinda confusing me hahahah

3.97 has some tiny (barely noticeable ) bugs.

They didn't affect me at all and I can recommend it to you as stable.

But you might think different than me

That's why I'm suggesting you to make a back up and try it. If you like it keep it, if you don't like it... Restore your backup.

I think if you're not much of a complainer

You'll like it.

I'm actually on 3.99 and I'm enjoying it a lot.

Hi guys,

I've got an i9300 that I rooted for the first time a couple of days ago, and after trying and failing with CM 10.2 I found Paranoid Android, which I'm absolutely loving. I've got a problem with NFC though, one that the fixes (I tried both ones) don't actually fix. As users before me have said, whenever I try to turn on NFC the option grays out and I can't do it again until after I reboot the phone.

My phone had a stock 4.1.2. ROM on it, I rooted with Odin, installed CWM and PA 3.97. NFC was working perfectly before, now it's a dud. Can I somehow fix it? I just got a pack of NFC tags today.

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchpunk:
Well mine grays out too when I turn it on but it comes back after two seconds.

If yours doesn't come back after a while

And you said it was working when you first installed PA. I can suggest 3 things.

First: dirty flash.

- reflash ROM and gapps

- wipe cache and dalvik cache

- reboot

If it doesn't work. Flash the NFC fixes and reboot to check the phone ( first one then the other )

Second: Make a backup and try a clean install.

- wipe data/factory reset

- install ROM zip

- install 4.3 gapps

- wipe cache and dalvik cache

- reboot and check once again if it's working

If it doesn't, flash NFC fixes again and check

Third: if none work, I can recommend flashing an unofficial 3.99 version ( the one I'm currently using) cause NFC seems to be working normal for me .

Let me know if any of the options help you.

I can provide you a link for 3.99 via PM if you wanna try.

I hope I was helpful!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homunuculus:
Well 3.97 is the official PA build for android 4.3, for 3.65 it's the official PA build for 4.2.2 Anyway, 4.3 has some graphical glitches such as black bars appearing in some apps, and in my case even caused a slow down on some apps (such as the browser) and the UI animations are jittery in my case so that's something to keep in mind but it is relatively stable

What was your procedure when installing?

Did you restore any data?

If so, clean install once more and be careful with what you restore! It's really important.

So with the Fix after 2 days I still get some very rare flashes but nothing like before. That's a very usable state so no biggie.

I got 2 questions though. I'm using Googy Kernel and sometimes when I make/receive a call my mic seems to be muted so I hear the other person but they do not hear me. I have to redo the call for it to work. I'm unsure if it's the phone or my provider that's to blame so has anyone seen this behavior?

Second whenever a call is in progress, all data communication is dropped and it appears the phone goes in GSM mode (dropping down from HSUPA or w/e it's at even with good reception) So if I have a download in progress and get a call or start a call it breaks it. If I'm on a skype/viber chat/communication and I get a voice call it drops that too + signs me off for the duration.

Any fix for the above?

Thanks

navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl

Find:

key 172 HOME

key 158 BACK

key 139 MENU

and put a # in front of them.

To prevent the home key from waking the device, find:

key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE

key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE

key 172 HOME WAKE

key 116 POWER WAKE

disable which you want by deleting the word "WAKE" from whichever one. Just be smart about this, though. You need a way to wake your device so don't do it for all of them.

You need to get the code for Halo and then build the ROM with Halo yourself unless you can convince your ROM maintainer to do it.

Message your ROM maintainer.. If your ROM uses ParanoidAndroid 3.99 then it will have Halo 2.0.

1 - screen flicker issue is known and can't be really fixed unless Samsung release updated driver source

2 - same thing.

3 - use Titanium Backup to freeze "cell broadcast"

4 - You should've kept a backup. Come on, basics. I'm not sure why user profiles are bugging at the moment. Current release isn't very good so I'm sticking to 3.68

Reflash ROM and gapps to get your apps back.

Switching user problem it's a known bug

You don't need a full wipe, just

- reboot into recovery

- install ROM zip

- install gaps

- wipe cache, dalvik cache

- reboot

The "flickering" stuff and etcetera

It's a known bug that's been talked about a lot, there's even a fix for it now.

Please for future reference always read the last few pages of the thread before asking.

The fix is the following:

On your build prop file

There should be a line that says something like this " hwui.render dirty regions = false "

Just add the word debug at the beginning of the line "debug.hwui. render..... "

Either that or install the unofficial 3.99 version. It includes the fix .

I've been using it for a couple days now and it's smooth and stable.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchpunk:
There are different ways you can do this.

I'll tell you the way I would do it if it was my phone. If you don't like it, you can always Google " I9300 flash stock firmware " or something similar and you'll get different results.

Now, my way ( I find it the easiest )

Download a Samsung latest official firmware from your country and company

Here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Get Mobile Odin from the play store.

When your download is finished unzip the file and put it on your phone SD card

Open mobile Odin and scroll down to where it says "open file" ... Select that option and search for the firmware file you down loaded

You don't have to touch anything else.

Just wipe data and cache, dalvik cache

Select ever root and inject super su

You'll need root to use triangle away and reset your flash counter.

After your firmware finished installing proceed to access your phone. Install triangle away and reset the flash counter.

After that search for the easiest way for you to unroot it and you should be good.

* Let me say that I won't be responsible if anything bad happens to your phone *

If you're unsure about something do some research about it until you feel sure.

I have done this procedure several times with 0 problems in the past and nothing has gone wrong for me, so it shouldn't go wrong for you either.

If you have any more doubts i can try to help you via PM. (:

I hope you find this useful!

Quick question to you guys.

If you're on a S3 I9300, or any other device. Can you check if your data connection is dropped whenever you make/take a call?

For me it does which means I get signed out of stuff or downloads/streams get interrupted and it's pretty annoying.

I'm talking about H/H+/3G (UMTS band 2100)

I don't think it's a kernel issue. Tried a few, currently on Googy 1.6.9 & PA 3.97 (had it with 3.65 too)

I tried adding ri.enable.dtm=1 to my build.prop to no avail

Thanks
