Have a funny one for you... My one year old had my phone for 2 minutes... Now instead of the pull down only five larger toggles it now shows all eight I selected as smaller toggles...

How did she do it?.. I like having all of them show rather than having to slide through them.

Yes... Now you can laugh....!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] neuton:
I am having a very weird issue and I dont know where it happened or how. But for some reason my phone wont recognize my sdcard no more. It says bad or missing files and asks me to format. So when I do I can see the card. But then the card disappears and when I look under storage I see the button to mount but it wont. I had twrp installed before and when u tried to access my sdcard from it or try to do a nand backup it says it couldn't read card. So I dont know if twrp messed it up or what. I also even used my computer to do a quick format and it will be read by my phone but then disappear.

My question to anyone has anyone experienced issues with the s3 no longer reading sdcards or is my sdcard just fried? Its a new one I got when I bought the phone a 32gb scandisk. Please help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Look back a few posts (yesterday, and see link put up by Kenny), and read other threads too, there is known issue with SanDisk cards and you may be able to get a warranty exchange.

Here is one XDA link about this issue also...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1906058

and a video ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fjNkQkQZ2U

there are multiple allegations that the phone itself is doing bad things to the sd card too...do a google search for "Galaxy S3 - SD card Killer"... be informed and be prepared.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Now the big question...is this just happening to rooted phones or to stock as well? Is there a bug in the rooting process? There are also a LOT of bad flashes which I guess can also be attributed to the size of the ROM and upload/download/copy errors, or even accessing the sd card during the flash to transfer that much data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxys3man30:
Now that is the big question is it the rooting or the phone all together
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
I had a issue last week I think it was. I copied everything format in the phone then copied everything back (used a reader not the phone for this) and it seems to be fine so far. I have a 32 gig sandisk also. Now the issue I have is why only 32 gig? Which leads me to think that it is a card issue NOT a phone hardware or rooting process issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coosawatchie:
Love the ROM so far, although i have a few questions. The blue keyboard that comes with it, it doesnt have the swype feature like all the other 4.2 keyboards. Is there a way to enable it? Or can i just flash another 4.2Keyboard.zip from recovery, it won't cause any problems?

When trying to share a picture from gallery via Gmail app, for some reason gmail app crashes. Other than that so far so good :good:

Fwiw I went from a 16 on my evo to a 32 as soon as I got this phone and then to a 64. Had to get a utility to format it as fat32 but so far its all good and a sandisk card 64gb
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tyler1037:
Alright guys, my 32g sd just went. I just read about all the problems yesterday so I was in the process of trying to get all my pics off it and it crashed. I lost a TON of stuff. Is this happening to other sized sd cards? Also, I am confused as to why this started happening all of the sudden for everyone. It cannot believe that everyone of us had the same cards and they broke at once. The first I heard of card problems where with the new kernels. Could they be ruining our cards? I don't want to put another card in and lose it too. Something deep is going on here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Did you try to plug sd card into pc media card reader? See if the pc can see your pics? :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tyler1037:
I put the card directly in my laptop and it tells me I must format the card. Same on phone now too. I am reformatting it now but that wont help me get back everything I lost. It worked yesterday when I flashed 3.08. Guess I better take advantage of my dropbox account to immediately save all my pics from now on. :(

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tyler1037:
I am trying a recovery program right now and it appears it can still everything on the card. Fingers crossed I can recover! Thanks for the help though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bvbull200:
Could be something to this. I don't know enough to try and pin it on any one thing (like the kernel), but the timing around this issue is pretty odd. I'm running the stock kernel now anyways and just recently backed up all of my pics/vids to a computer. While some of the other "stuff" is a pain to replace, it is replaceable (root files, etc.).

I need a bigger account with one of the cloud services so I can back-up my entire SD card there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tyler1037:
After further research I found that this has been a problem from the initial release with S3 and across the world. Must not be kernel, root, or custom rom related because it is happening to all types. Weird problem!

Hmmm....I did just recently catch up on The Walking Dead. Alright. New theory. Zombie apocalypse has begun and the government released a "bug" that corrupts SD cards as the first of many measures to keep the population from documenting and sharing their confrontations with the undead.

We need the poll to change. "If your SD card is suddenly experiencing issues, did you recently photograph a "walker"?"

Sorry, this is only a morphology suggestion, but sense and sensibility theme is a pretty close to stock look. Have you seen or tried that one?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dman918:
Just got my S3 two days ago and came fromt the Evo LTE. Not really looking to have that sense look, I don't think. I may consider just using morphology for everything, but I seriously would look to change the entire theme of this ROM. Dialer, icons, status bars, lock screen. Everything. Just not sure if it is worth the work.

As soon as I got home, I rooted my phone and loaded FreeSG3. Seems like that and People's ROM are the two most popular? Are there any particular things about this ROM that seems to highlight unique attributes as compared to the competition?

Looking for a good, smooth touchwiz ROM with great battery life. Don't really play games or anything. Just text, email, internet more than anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bvbull200:
Morphology really isn't much work. If you go to the Morphology thread in the themes/apps section, you can see what all of the icons/backgrounds/status bars/etc. look like. Then, when you flash the zip, you will get to use the Aroma installer and make an informed choice for each part of the theme. Fully stock look? Not exactly. But you can get pretty close. Plenty of other very clean and stock looking icons to fill in the gaps, though.

Maybe 5-10 minutes of work at the start, but once done, there is no additional maintenance.

You've come to the right ROM. Very fast, plenty of testimonials of great battery life (mine is wonderful, too), and the support in this thread is top notch. Very, VERY few issues ever come up. Read back a few pages. Plenty of shooting the breeze in here since the bug report is almost non-existent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] casmi:
This is the smoothest TW ROM you will find with the best support to boot. I am a fan of the stock look as well and use Morphology to achieve that in a few easy steps. In fact as much as I like stock feel, I find my self changing things here or there just cuz I can Thanks to how easy it is with Morphology :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dman918:
Sounds good. Thank you both for your advice. I'll load it on again and give morphology a shot. :good:

Which kernel reigns supreme for the GS3? Would that be Ktoonsez? I also see he has two different ones?

Thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Choice of 10/29 or 11/15 (i think those are the dates) TW Ktoonsez, Agat's kernel or stock kernel included in TPR installer and Ktoonsez just released a new version yesterday in his thread. Great support there as well.

Strange on the sd issues. Im on freegs3 temporary i know not this rom... But ive been from all wakes of android on my gs3 ics, 4.1.1,4.1.2,4.2.1 on a measly 8gb external and it has not died. Its generic fat32 i think. Maybe exfat file format is causing issues. I use Kt747 kernel and i think exfat is unsupported on that kernel. Not sure if there is a correlation but were any of you on that file format before the issue started?

Some sds if read at an inopportune time or the system doesn't safe eject they can die too, not that any of that happened to you guys.

This is a little off-topic, but I was just wondering what the purpose of "dual clock while roaming" is?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxys3man30:
Just goto ur lock screen settings n turn it off n I dont see the point in it either its always the same as the other clock
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
I am guessing it is meant for people that travel not roam. To show the time at home and where you are like different time zone. Just a guess.

I know how to turn it off. I was just wondering what the purpose was.

So if I go out of my home time zone will it show up? That would be a really useful feature.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
You can roam without leaving your home time zone, and you can cross time zones without roaming, so no, it won't be based on leaving your time zone at all.

But Sprint can't guarantee that every network that provides roaming coverage will report the time in the same way as the Sprint network - in the past I've seen phones lose or gain as much as 6 hours while roaming within their home time zones, because of different standards (a US-only carrier might use offsets based on the local time of their corporate headquarters instead of the international date line, for example)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bvbull200:
Headed to check the WiFi Tether thread to check for suggestions, but I'll throw it here, too.

I deleted WiFi tether with Titanium, rebooted, then reinstalled. WiFi tether now works, but when I stop tethering, I can't turn WiFi back on with my phone. When I click the toggle, it goes to on, then back to off as soon as I lift my finger. Same thing when going through the settings menu to turn it on.

As a fundraiser for my daughter's dance team we are manning the entrances at a competition. My wife asked me yesterday if we needed to have a calculator at the entrance or if we should expect people to use their phone to total up the admission cost for a family.

The apps are in the system directory and show up in ALL in app manager but need to be deleted with ES File Explorer or equivalent. Facebook has not updated to work properly on Jellybean yet so that is why it will not allow you to share, or save a pic to gallery or to install it from Play.

Are you running 3.02? Renaming qosmgr and gsiff daemon to .bak should have kept android system from running away. You might have another app going nuts.

Twitter launched for me. Try clearing data. As for FB see above.

I actually meant 96 Mhz. I have been using that for a day or so with no issues. It is a good battery saver.

That is highly unusual. Try a redownload and reflash. I have a 32 GB card and it works fine. Had a bad flash myself and my ringtones would not show up. Reflash fixed that. Nothing on this ROM should affect the sd card.

Several people may not like what I'm about to type but so be it... I'm pretty disappointed in this ROM, for one I knew it would be themed but its too much blue and black, the settings menu is not differentiated properly so all you see is a list of items rather than seeing break ups in the menu like the stock menu. Secondly, Twitter and Facebook seemed to be themed and even tho they are themed (the FB looks terrible) I could live with it... what I can't live with is the fact that I can't uninstall it thru settings and when I do get it uninstalled (Titanium Backup) I can't install the versions in the Play Store. Reverted back to Stock like always...

I respect the hard effort you put in OP and after writing this whole rant its not more so directed towards you completely but it seems like the Stock ROM pretty much destroys everyones custom builds IMHO. Its like no matter which cool feature is included (I liked that you've included the pop browser and AOSP lockscreen) something else is always wrong.

Thanks for the follow up. I've done some additional testing, and it looks like the problem is sdxc specific. I can access a 32 GB card just fine. I'll see if another flash fixes the issue (although I did it completely clean). Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] socos25:
That's interesting about FB because I didn't have and issue with my Epic, and I believe I was able to share on stock JB?

I just reflashed 3.02 to get FB back, I will see if that fixes my battery problem, if not maybe a re-wipe x3 and reflash is in order.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
I don't know what you are talking about. The settings screenshot is in post 2. If yours doesn't look like that which is the same spacing as stock then something went wrong with your flash. Also check qbking77's video on the review to see if yours installed correctly. There is minimal blue and black as opposed to some other more heavily themed ROMs. As mentioned in the OP there are dozens of themeing choices that work on this ROM.

You can never uninstall system apps through settings. I don't understand what everyone's problem is with updating Facebook. I went to the Play store, chose Facebook and Update, it said signature failed. Used Root Explorer (you can use ES File Explorer) and rename com.facebook.katana.apk to .bak, reboot and BAM Facebook automatically reinstalls, unthemed. Sounds like most of you forgot to reboot after deleting or renaming.

The same should work for Twitter.

Thank you all for your support, and please remember everyone has a different opinion of what they like. It sounds like this one needs to stay as close to stock as possible, but that is never a reason to flame him. This is The People's thread.
