Hi codeworkx,

I went ahead and changed my primary phone from s3 to nexus 4. And these are the inputs.

1. The audio quality on the nexus 4 is pure crap. And so is the noise cancellation.

It just can't be compared to the audio quality brought by CM on s3.

2. In call audio, is horrible in stock .48 and .33. I find .27 to be bearable.

3. There are touchscreen issues too.

One question though, there are so many comits being made towards sony xperia,

Regarding performance and such, but none towards nexus.

Hope to see some of your love towards nexus 4 too.

Which nightly are you running ?

Your battery life seems much better than mine . I'm getting huge battery usage by Android OS .

Which Nightly are you running and do you have a custom kernel ?
[Galaxy S III General] Aeren:
I have a small bug/issue;

I use SwiftKey (Paid) and up to cm-10.1-20130412-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip I could use it BUT on cm-10.1-20130413-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip when i go to use it, on step 2 of setup in swiftkey the settings crashes and I cannot setup swiftkey....all other versions it works fine

Not a problem, just thought it worth pointing out
[Galaxy S III General] nadram:
Hello.

I'm one of the few unfortunate whose camera isn't working at all. Cannot connect to camera is all I get from any app.

I want to test if updating the camera FW to match phone will work and I Rea's that this can be done manually through the Factorytest.apk... Which I seem to have lost somehow and can't find it here or through Google.

Can anyone please post it?
[Galaxy S III General] guerouig:
If you've upgraded from a previous nightly why would you have to set up swiftkey again? I'm using switkey, like you, but as long as long I'm upgating nightlies, I never had to go through the settings again.(PS : I changed the settings right now, and it does not crash).

You'll find factorytest.apk in Samsung stock roms, most Samsung mod roms remove this package though, so go to stock.

Anyway I've checked my files and it appears I had it on dropbox:

Been having this issue since last 3 nightlies. Always use the stock AOSP browser on full screen with pie controls. But since last 3 updates if I use the search bar to type in an address or search, the browser simply gets a black stripe in place of the search bar instead of it disappearing and becoming full screen again. Anyone else facing this?
[Galaxy S III General] aasimkhan30:
No offense

Personally I feel Sony phones are really crappy and slow

Except the roms part I have faced many problem form Sony phones

(Xperia S,x10)

Including damaged speaker in x10 to motherboard problem in sl

And even they have no proper updates

Anyways enjoying the latest nightly
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
I'll add:

Sony is nice now with devs, it seems Samsung was nice in the beginning too.

The best bet, if you go for Android, is a Google device, period. That's the only way to have AOSP assured, if Google can't assure it, then nobody else can.

If you don't mind AOSP, then any device you like most.

Pal I live in India

So here Google do not sell phones

Now only they started selling 16gb WiFi nexus 7

In eBay we get it for $200 more

So there is no point of buying it here

But I will buy new nexus 7

The one with Qualcomm and 4g

Nice to see on a S3 forum how Sony has the best software development, now Sony only needs to solve some issues with bad screen quality on Xperia Z and maybe a better camera.

Such a shame; Google do sell phones in my country, but they do sell so fast I couldn't get a Nexus 4 when it was released (lol).
[Galaxy S III General] iernie:
I couldn't find a similar post.

Ever since the open source libril, I am unable to receive calls. I can make calls, but I can't receive them. People calling me gets av tone, but on me end I never get anything.

I haven't used the getRIL app after flashing the nightly. I've also tried changing modem.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
Maybe you have a script in system/etc/init.d that keeps the existing ril when flashing a new rom?. Also, when flashing a modem, don't use the ones in the thread including a matching ril.

Can't think of anything else. :confused:

I wanted to reiterate a personal thanks publicly to codeworkx for not abandoning the SIII, despite all the problems that Samdung has created by faulty sources.

I'd have sold my SIII long ago, if it were not for this fine ROM.

Too bad that Google has decided to never include microSD in their devices and limit storage so severely. I'll be looking for xperia z soon, I think. Just can't afford it right now.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:

Dock Audio

I still don't seem to be able to get the dock audio working using that exact same car dock. The dock is recognised in that once the phone is plugged in, it starts charging. However, no sound is routed to to the dock. I have already ticked the box under Settings/Advanced Settings/Dock.

as i said, evrything works fine for me, including zooming in and out, but picture quality is not good enough, well behind stock in poor light conditions in particular.

As for your second question, you know samsung has not released exynos source, so do not expect miracles. Some people have suggested Huawei camera as a good option.

It installs as another camera, doesn't replace the CM one. Seems to work fine, doesn't have the touch-to-focus bug either.

But I seriously think the last enhancement the CM cam really required was the storage option, which it has now.
[Galaxy S III General] Bobblot:
Camera jb+ from the play store is a good camera to use. Seems to work well for me no front facing freezing when taking a photo
[Galaxy S III General] Eddiemc:
Huawei vs cm:

The photo quality is identical on both cameras.

Huawei:

No hardware shutter button support :(

No freeze on front cam :)

Widescreen support and a proper viewfinder that matches the photos :)

No integration in rom/lockscreen :(

Cm:

Better integrated in rom, perfect lockscreen integration :)

No widescreen support :(

Hardware button shutter :)

Front cam freeze :(

I'm sticking to cm, I just wish they could add widescreen support so that the photo output could match the viewfinder.

No sleep with open source RIL

Maybe this part of an actual logcat is the reason, why com.android.phone or rild is not going to sleep. The behaviour can be enforced with toggling from 3G->2G->3G. And can be stopped when switching to 2G.

No, and it's strange that nobody but me seem to notice:)

Take a photo, frame it up beautifully so that the subject and the surrounding is perfectly in frame.

Now view the result. You'll have lots of new space on either side (if portrait) or top and bottom (if landscape), and the photo looks nothing like what you framed up to shoot.

Our "viewfinder" is our screen and it's 16:9. The pictures we shoot are standard photo squarish, basically 3:2.

We should either have black bars in the viewfinder to match the output, or a 6mp widescreen picture option to make our photos 16:9.

As it is now we cannot frame a shot properly. Try and see:)

Edit:

I guess Google is to blame with the jb update, because in ics the viewfinder worked. Since cm perfects all Google faults, it's strange that this hasn't been noticed.

Is this coming from the recent Ril commit ?
[Galaxy S III General] 1N4148:
Latest nightly, when switching between 2G & 2G/3G with the quick settings.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Just curious: why do you guys switch? Here (my country's carriers) once you "register" for a 3G plan you're charged at those rates, no matter whether your device uses HSPA or EDGE.
[Galaxy S III General] 1N4148:
Sometimes the 2G data connection is much more better in congested 3G cells. Also outside the city it's more reliable to stay on 2G.

But, when switching within the mobile menu (not using quicksettings), there's no problem. So, maybe more a problem with the quicksettings and not the RIL
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
Check this:

Settings > System > Quick settings panel > Phone Connectivity

There you can adjust the 2G/3G toggle.

Sorry if the path is not accurate enough, I just translated on the fly from spanish.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
I think what he meant was that the bug is only reproduced when toggling using quick settings tiles, whereas doing the exact same thing via some other trigger works.
[Galaxy S III General] 1N4148:
Yes, I know. But it doesn't help. Toggling with the Quick Settings leads to "hanging" phone process. Toggling with the normal menu, doesn't, so I have a workaround :)
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
I thought it could help, I had weird behaviour with the toggle too, now I have the toggle set to 2G/3G Only and works fine.
[Galaxy S III General] oae08:
Sometimes when im just using whatsapp and other apps that do not require fast internet, or even when not using data at all, i switch to 2g for better battery life. Also as mentioned above, sometimes in the city, especially underground, 3g reception is bad and i have to switch to 2g. When not in these situations i switch back to 3g, thats why 2g/3g toggle is very important for me. But im realising some new wakelocks. (I know my sig says unoficial build but im currently on official to test the ril commit on battery life because temasek didnt add it on newer builds). What do you guys think?

Hi guys!

I've got a question regarding "new" CM Camera feature - Storage.

I checked "SD Card" option and pics are stored in extSD, but after reboot I have to check it once again (Storage option is still SDCard) to get it to work... Otherwise pics are stored in intSD.

Is it me, or someone else is having this issue too?

[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
I have a third option too, "USB Storage", what is that? :confused:

Yes, but it works without anything breaking. Which is why it was merged from an experimental build (after some alpha testing) to nightlies. For devices with M builds it hasn't reached a state to be merged there yet. Let it get there!
[Galaxy S III General] jshashwat93:

This is weird but I can't seem to make any calls with the latest nightly at all after tweaking the settings normally like disabling animations and so forth, I tried flashing an older build but that didn't help either, I also tried to see if it worked without gapps and it still doesn't work.

The last nightly update killed my signal strength bar. Now it's empty all the time. I came from the 10. Apr

Any way to fix this?
[Galaxy S III General] _delice_doluca_:
Excatly what happened to me. I have been trying to do anything that comes into my mind to solve this but no success for the past 10 hours. My calls are answered (or I answer incoming calls) and the second counter on the top right increases but there is no sound at all. This is not like the current sound engine problem which can easily be avoided by playing a simple sound. I can send sms though..
[Galaxy S III General] Halbamy:
signal strength indicator

since the 12. nightly the strength of the network is not displayed anymore. it shows no bars all the time although connectivity is fine. im on a really old modem bole5 but was working fine for me.

can someone recommend a modem for cm10.1 for t-mobile in germany?
[Galaxy S III General] LittleDoggy:
I been doing the same thing as well since I couldn't get it working and now trying to put it back to stock and try and reflash but I was hoping that there would be some solution to this since it first occurred to me in the 14th build and then continued to every build after that regardless of its date.

I tried to answer calls but there is no sound and calling doesn't fix anything, sounds work normally though like playing music and watching videos.
[Galaxy S III General] tontiv:
i'm coming from the 10/04/13 nightly. just to make sure everything works, i flashed the xxdlib modem to match that of cyanogenmod's open source ril which i believe is based on xxdlib. might be wrong though. phone calls audio works fine both ways. no problems here.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
USB Mass Storage has been discarded by Google long ago, none of the modern phones can be connected that way (it's a partitioning thing).

Use ADB instead. In recovery you will have access to the shell as root also. If installs are aborting there will always be an abort message (in your case either signature verification is on or MD5s don't match). If not, check log, as rootSU said.
[Galaxy S III General] LittleDoggy:
Tried that and it still doesn't work for me, I guess I have to wait for the next nightly to see if this is fixed otherwise any help is appreciated.
