ok now bear with me...lol I have been extensively doing some research on this topic. It seems RPM has to do with power management for the radio. This was implemented on the G7 update. I had no clue because I never take OTA's...In order to see the signal improvements the rpm file should be flashed with the latest radios. However nothing negative will occur by not flashing the RPM.zip. I believe this was an attempt to help fix ril issues with data handoffs and spotty 3g signal.

So if you flash just the I5 radio and dont notice any improvements or even worse signal try flashing the rpm.zip and I can about gurantee an improvement will be noticed. I can not believe how much better the 3g to 1x signal and data handoff has improved!! Anybody is more than welcome to chime in and correct me if this is incorrect. There is not much info on this topic as I spent a couple hrs putting bits of information together to come up with this conclusion...hope it helps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlucchetti:
I flashed this new modem/radio,and frankly, I see 4g on my phone more now than I did with the G1 that was on it previously. Everything else works as good, possibly better than before, though I did not take any measurements before flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lehocki:
Maybe -droidstyle- has a point. I only flashed the radio . And I'm not saying that I5 is not good, I also said in my first post that this was my experience. Maybe I should have flashed the full Rom with radios which I did not. Just tried to give heads up to others in case they travel n run into same problems. Didn't mean to alarm the whole droid nation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
your fine man...appreciate you sharing your thoughts, thats what teh forums are for! :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fusiongalaxy:
I can show you plenty of places down here in Texas that get no 3g coverage. I would say they have "MOST" of the US covered but certainly not all of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] got556:
And plenty of places in Indiana where I would not get any data. A few places in Central/Southern Illinois also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lehocki:
You know that is most interesting although I'm mostly on interstates and state highways and they are quite well covered
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
Thank you for taking the time to type that up. Only question is it is flashing to system or another partition? Does it need to be flashed everyone the Rom is changed? I'm on nightly and am curious if it needs flashed every time...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] creid2352:
New radio definitely helps 4G in Florida.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
The new radio has been great for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ilogik:
In my house I would get no signal, it constantly would flip between no signal and 1x. After flashing VRBLI5 I get 2 bars, LTE and its stable now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
according to scrosler it only needs to be flashed once.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Legato Bluesummers:
Ran speed test on the HE modem. Then flashed the newest. My speeds all were cut in half. For both wifi and 4G and I'm in great 4G coverage. Flashed back HE and speeds went back up. :( that sucks. Guess I stick with the old. Will have to try it at work tonight. See which gets better signal there.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
you cant compare right after flashing...let things settle in a bit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nomisunrider:
There is no such thing as "settling"...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
ok you go ahead and keep telling yourself that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lehocki:
My apologies to everyone. I yesterday afternoon did a clean flash of the deodexed VRBLI5 ROM with radios and I haven't had any problems with this so far it has been smooth n snappy no data or signal loss.

So it seems that me flashing just the -I5- radios on to the -HE- ROM even though I wiped cache n dalvik something didn't agree or connect in the phone, and that is why I had such a bad experience with it.

So my apologies again to starting a rumor, panic in the community.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] minmongoblin:
At my own risk I ask this, I've searched the forum but does anyone have a link handy to the I5 modem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lehocki:
You can find the modem here on rootswiki

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nomisunrider:
Please give me one specific technical method in which a kernel "settles"

Don't give anecdotal evidence, but actual facts.

Only in the android community, with all these people that think installing a rom on your phone is "hacking", have I seen this nonsense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] awalkerz:
So how does the version naming work? We had VRBLHE and now VRBLI5, so would VRBLJ1 be newer? I've seen this last one popup from a guy at work.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

Maybe settling would be for the user side. The user starts running all the day to day apps as time goes on. I know I don't have time to install and run every app I usually like, all in the first day after updating to a new ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Im not here to prove anything bro...all Im saying is dont make a judgement on something right after you flashed it. I always give my device 10 or 15 minutes to finish checking for updates and whatnot...thats what I meant by "settling".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nnyan:
No issues with new modem. I regularly commute to our corporate offices and travel through just about every type of connection. There are three short legs where there is no reception (verizon, sprint, AT&T) and multiple bad 3g and 4g areas. Ive mapped waypoints so i can pull over and run some tests on a few phones. LI has been very solid and as good as any and better then most modems in weak service area. I am running LI based rom and LI RPM (have not had time to test two exact phones one without RPM to see if it makes any diff).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mustang302LX:
Ok so ever since updating to the leaked JB builds (any ROM based off of the leak) I have had a really bad wakelock. Media scanner service just runs and runs after a reboot and it's driving me crazy. I have seen a few people in random threads posting about it but no real solution. I've tried freezing things, turned off picasa sync and many other things including using ODIN to flash back to stock then reroot and flash JB again to try and eliminate anything bad. I can't for the life of me figure this out. Unless I stop media in battery usage or use the rescan media root app to disable media scanner it will just run. How many people are seeing this? I check it by rebooting and letting the phone sit for 5-10 minutes and then open better battery stats and check partial wakelocks since boot and it's always at the top and just continues to run. I'm lost at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lehocki:
I have the same problem and I also disable it through settings battery click n force close. I did read on one of the threads that someone took out his sdcard n it stopped (but no sdcard)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] banditsw:
x2 no issues with various types of connection
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigee1212:
Check out the rescan media root app in the play store. A band aid fix. From what I can tell moving from rc4 to rc5 and now rc7 alleviated the issue (I dirty flashed). I had tons of wake locks with rc4. Now I have none even with dirty flashing.

Edit:I should mention that this is on liquid rom based of cm10 so try updating to newest night lies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
I went back to beans ICS because of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beaups:
It runs for me for about 3 minutes after every reboot. Formatting external SD will fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JBO1018:
I feel like I remember reading the Media scanner wake lock was caused by a corrupt file on the sdcard. Though I'm not sure if it was internal or external they were referring to. (maybe either?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BeansTown106:
correct vrbl means verizon hd,he,i5, and j1 goes up in the hexidecimal format.. and whered u hear of j1 lol, hopefully j1 comes soon :)

I'm going to try transplanting these apks into a Sprint Stock 4.1.2 ROM zip and installing. I'll let ya know what happens after.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Great work! Do you have the the original odexed apks available? Trying to install the gmail app as an apk on stock unrooted 4.1.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Huh? The Gmail app is a system app. It needs to be installed to /system/app. You cannot install it without root access.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
You can side load updated versions of system apps without root access, and you get a notice that the app will replace a current system app but preserve user data. Whenever the Play Store app is updated and gets extracted and posted all over the forums, I just side load, agree to the warning and proceed. However, the system app that is being side loaded needs to be in an installable apk format which I understand to be its native odex format.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Although I'm no expert, I believe it still won't work. The reason you can install the apk extracted from the Play Store is because it is not a system app. It gets installed to /data/app. Apk's that come with a stock build are system apps, and cannot be installed into /data/app. They need to be installed into /system/app. Nothing can replace anything that is stored in /system unless you have root access. (/system is mounted as read-only in Android.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
If I can get an odex'ed apk I'll either prove myself wrong or show everyone a way to side load an updated system app without root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Be my guest. Here ya go: http://www.androidtaskforce.com/2012/11/01/download-lg-nexus-4-system-dump/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] disynthetic:
Just an update. I was able to insert a few of the apps into an install zip and get them working with no problems. Wallet, keyboard, currents, play music, browser, Google +, and a couple others worked just fine. Gmail did not as I couldn't just insert all the framework apks as it would force close right away. Nothing ground breaking, but the new features are fun to see and experiment with.

The photosphere feature is very neat. I like the GPS embedded aspect of it too. YouTube seems to have a slicker interface. All in all 4.2 is very much improved over 4.1.2. I can't wait for that fresh aosp source!

Hi,

I have this problem when trying to send files to my friend's phone via bluetooth. Everytime I select a file and send it it says 'unable to send' or 'sending failed' or something like that but my friend can send files to me and I can recieve them no problem.

To try to send files I go into settings, turn on bluetooth, make my device visible, and pair it to my friend's phone. I can pair the phones but when I try to share a file I keep gettin that error. Am I doing something wrong? Is there another step involved in the process?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
What ROM's are the phones running?

AOSP cannot NFC share/transfer files with ICS. One uses bluetooth to transfer and the other WiFi direct, from what I've heard/read.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amzi:
Yea its probably your rom cuz most JB based roms havent fixed bluetooth yet!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chris157:
I've been using NFC Task Launcher to make tags and within the app you can disable to notification sounds just fine, however the main system sounds is very annoying. Does anyone know where this sound file is located or if it is possible to disable the sound?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .wojtek:
*bump*?

I'm trying to use NFC but quite a few usages cause the damn sound to go beeping all the time which is very annoying :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
It's probably built in, so that there can't be any accidental NFC usage, it's meant to alert the user. Same goes for NFC while screen off, or on lockscreen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
There are mods to change the lockscreen restriction.

I would look in /system/media/audio/ui/, and change the extention of the file to .bac.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Schiehallion:
The NFC.apk contains .ogg files; they can be messed about with I'm sure I read all that somewhere on here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .wojtek:
I'm not saying it should be easily available but at least as a developer option would be nice... Given that we are surrounded by more and more RFIDs nowadays its freaking annoying that your mobile is constantly beeping... So we have a choice - either use NFC and be annoyed or turn yet another feature of android off :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] duckredbeard:
Found the files in system/system/app/NfcNci/NfcNci.apk/res/raw. You should find 3 files there.

Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4g Touch

I have recently installed this new ROM and I love it! One down of it is the battery life. But I've disabled google now services and my battery improved at almost 40% lol It's nice to have it but It's also annoying to charge your phone every four hours. Im pretty sure there is a bug continuously running that drains the battery that fast. or maybe this syncing options are not very efficient.

Now going back to the point, the bad problem is that my phone is not recognizing my memory card. Other programs recognize it like file manager and others but every time I go to gallery my phone doesnt recognize the pictures from it. Also the music player doesnt see the music I have on it either. Frustrating :/

I have done so far this:

1. Unmounted and re mounted the memory card using the ROM

2 Unmounted and re mounted the memory card using the ClockworkMod

3. Formatted the memory card many ways and different formats

4. Used a different (blank) memory card with one file

I also read another thread from previous codename ROMs about putting a null file on certain folders? I cant recall it right now, but theres is one thread about it. That did not work as well.

Does anybody have this issue about the memory card? if anyone have any other thoughts or any solution please help and lets discuss about it. :D:D:D:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Yes i had that issue as well, I just moved my pics and music to my internal card. its a quick fix. But I had that issue on CM9 but not on CM10 tho. just those two. So, hoped this helps ya. I really didn't look into it that deep. as soon as i moved the stuff over to my internal, I was good. you might wanna search the new CNA thread. see if there is a fix in there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Did you do a clean install? My battery life on the current version of Codename is very good and only a bit less than ICS. There is some JB kernel development in place at the moment to clean up some of these remaining glitches. That's why this and other JB ROMs are still in alpha.

What governor are you using? Try pegasusq governor, it works for me. I'm also slightly undervolted.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
lol read a battery thread.. your setup is causing your battery drain.. or you have a bad battery. theres also plenty threads (mostly aosp rom threads) that have that issue.. not sure if directory bind will help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sanz.rigo:
True! that's a quick help but I'd love to be able to use my memory card lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sanz.rigo:
Havent even thought about that. I'll give it a try tonight and I'll let you know. And I know this is an "under-development" ROM. I fixed battery problems but I think Im more worried about the gps than anything else :/ I'll look around for some other solutions
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
If everything worked like it is suppose to while flashing, GPS lock is not an issue with this ROM according to the development team. I have been using it for a few weeks and the only time I had GPS issues is when I tried out a few other ROMS for a couple of days and then nandroid back. GPS, batt issues, and messaging issues showed up, so it probably didnt get wiped very well before I restored teh nandroid.

Try a fresh install from GB kernal and see if that helps with any issues. That is what I did a few days ago and everything is working well again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
You have to get a gps lock in a touchwiz rom before flashing this for best results. I just used the fi27 one click for that. Do the one click update prl and profile, got a gps lock then flashed codename following the instructions on what to wipe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sanz.rigo:
Thanks, did that and it didnt work. Everything seems to be pretty good with this ROM except the ROM. Did a clean re install and the same. I guess I did something wrong, but for what I've been reading, a good percentage of people is having either the gps issue or the memory card reading issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
There is a fix for the GPS in development called JB Tweaks. My GPS would lock in about a min before, but now it takes 10-15 seconds. I would recommend using Alpha 1 build for now. Some are reporting fc's on 3 and battery drains on 2.1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
CNA is actually a pretty sturdy ROM. Your battery life issues can't entirely be fixed, but they can be improved greatly by a few simple things:

- Use CNA's "Performance" tab in the settings. It should be right there towards the top.

- Underclock your CPU to 800 - 1000MHz. There isn't a huge difference between the two, but whichever you prefer. I don't do a lot of gaming type processes on my phone so I am perfectly content with 800MHz.

- Change the I/O Governor to "pegasusq" with a matching I/O Scheduler of "noop." I've personally had / seen a lot of people have success with that combo.

- Turn off completely your Auto-Sync. I have my e-mail settings set to only refresh when I tell it too. Same goes for Weather applications, or any app that will run in the background invisibly, especially Facebook! Watch out for that one. They can prevent your phone from deep sleep.

- Change your brightness to a setting that is comfortable for you during the day and night, so that way your phone isn't constantly trying to do that for you.

- INVERTED GAPPS. The dominant black really helps keep the screen from using a lot of power and you will probably notice a difference when the battery has been calibrated correctly.

Hope some of those tips help you out! It's taken me some time to discover what I am most comfortable using, but I have figured it all out.

As for the SD Card issue. Might I recommend trying a different Root Explorer? Perhaps ES File Explorer or even "Root Explorer" from the Play Store? I know there has been a few issues like that for me, and honestly, I am still trying to figure them out myself. It somehow manages to correct itself, because I will wake up the next day with it working just fine. I personally use ES File explorer. I love the layout and it's free. Can't beat free.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sanz.rigo:
Thanks for all the tips man! they are incredible and I've done some of them too. I stated at the beginning that the battery was really bad but I've managed to fix all those problems. A good calibration helps a lot too. Later I said I wasnt having problems with the battery and discovered my GPS wasnt working. I think Im gonna try different things ( I havent tried anything because school is killing me and I have time for nothing) so little by little Im getting there.

but thanks anyway, those recommendations are just perfect for anybody that wants to have a better battery life
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
GPS is an easy fix, get on a tw rom, turn on GPS and get a lock, leave GPS on and locked, then boot to a safe recovery and flash the rom u want to use. GPS will now work normally, if your lock is slow on the new rom download GPS status & toolbox and clear A-GPS data and redownload the data and it will lock fast, I can get lock within 2m indoors in less than 30sec on my et4g
