Video recording without autofocus

Hi everybody,

Concerning the last nightly versions of CM 10.1, I would like to report a bug and ask for a solution, if you have one.

Basically the autofocus of the camera is not working when using the video mode (recording or not, in fact). It only works with certain AF modes of the photo mode. Is there any solution for the autofocus on video? you can imagine how frustrating is to record a blurred video or being touching the screen every two seconds in order to manually focus...

Besides that, and that's less important, is there any way to bring 360º panorama mode to CM?

thanks!

a noob question: hebrew corporate email

hi,

as a noob i have a basic question:

i have installed CM on other devices and the corporate email client in habrew is not right alligned.

is it right alligned in this phone's version ?

i mean - when i write an email in Hebrew - will it be alligned to the right so reading in hebrew will be right to left and the text is alligned to the right.

in english of course it should be as usual.

gmail is fixed and all other user interface is right alligned but i know corporate email (exchange) has a problem

my device (S3) is on samsung stock so currently all is to the right as it should be

thanks...

Change the Recovery

Sorry for the question,

I need some clarification about changing the Recovery on my device ?

AFAIK i use the Odin, and out the recovery file on the PDA section,

Is that correct ?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Yes. so long as the recovery is in a tar file.

Tethering... again!

Hi, I recently commented on having issues with tethering and that after speaking with my carrier, got it working on Bluetooth tethering. Well, it worked once when I first tested but every attempt since has been unsuccessful. I tried putting my sim in an i9100 running stock 4.1 and both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth tethering worked perfectly! So I know it's not a carrier or tablet issue. My tablet is also running cm10.1. I can't work out what the problem is but connecting isn't the issue, it's transferring any actual data from the phone to the tablet. When I try Wi-Fi tethering, the Wi-Fi icon on my tablet shows full signal and has arrows pointing up and down but it is grey instead of blue. When I successfully tethered to the i9100 it was blue as expected. I am yet to test an i9300 on stock but am sure it'll work the same as the i9100 on 4.1 stock.

I'm stumped but won't be returning to stock, even for that.

Mediaserver process is killing my battery by eating it up to 30% (screen is 31%...). I listen to music up to one hour per day, so it should not eat that much. Anyone has a solution for this issue ?

Plus Apollo has become so buggy hat after a few songs, it crashes. Flickering widget on the lock screen, sound cuts, no sound and/or no more controls are to be expected each time I want use it. I switched to Play Music, but I miss Apollo. Clearing data was not enough.
[Galaxy S III General] erto90:
Try nexmusic from play store, is pretty much similar to apollo and continuely updated
[Galaxy S III General] respider:
not sure, but if you REALLY need to know:

1- nandroid backup your current rom

2- install CM

3- test

4- if didnt work, restore your nandroid

I know this is pretty obvious but it doesnt take too long

Is it possible to get it to work somehow? Like installing a driver or something...

I can't speak for the CM team as a whole, but i can speak for myself:

- I will continue to support CM 10.1 on the S3

- I will not try to make newer android versions running on any of the samsung devices i currently own (except for the omap based ones)

- I will not buy any upcoming samsung device like the s4, s5, s6, note 3, tab 3 and so on

Now you know where my personal deadline is.
[Galaxy S III General] _delice_doluca_:
Thank you.

No matter how many, it is good to know that there are people who rise against Samsung. Lies shoud not bring money to compaines and customers should not just "buy and forget" what to seek from a device and a company. Because there is no going back here when the official support is cut off one year later.

Since there are very good alternatives out there there is no point of giving money to a company which dows not listen or even care about customers.

Thank you..
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
No. Mainly good old MP3 and a few FLAC.

Bump at Mediaserver battery consumption (over 30%).

Try to replace or remove temporarily the SD card and see if something changes.

On my girlfriend's S2 I tried nearly everything to stop mediaserver from sucking the battery, when I realized that without the SD it didn't happen.

Btw, the card was apparently fine and formatting it didn't help.

[Galaxy S III General] erto90:
That's not true.. Stop making decision for the others

Maybe Cody will not put his hands in cm11, but others maybe are up to maintain it.. Who know? For sure you not,to make that hard sentence..
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Others? There's one left in TeamHacksung that hasn't yet given up (I think), and that's XpLoDWilD and I don't think he would even be interested in making CM11 work, but we'll have to wait and see.

[Galaxy S III General] svetloslav:
Well in that case, Samsung promised officially to update S3 to at least Android 5. And then there are guys like Viking, who will clean the mess after Samsung and will cook a rock solid, fast rom with everything working like magic. If you dream of CM look, there are plenty of modding options to make it exactly like it. So it is not the end of the world. Samsung makes phones that are at least as good, but mostly slightly better than the competition in a particular timeframe. They don't release sources. So what? That's a corporate policy. And only corporations in the future will be able to have the complete package and the most innovations. No space for little players. Sony is on its knees NOW, that's why they are cooperating. Wait until and if Sony manages to recover. It is a company that is significantly more short-sighted compared to Samsung. Than look at Apple after the death of SJ, but also before it. They are a mess and Mountain Lion is such a piece of crap that there is no other.

Everybody is screaming about the alternatives, but there are actually not so many and even less in future. Why all the trashing on Samsung? You get a modern phone with on average more options, bells and whistles and a couple of point updates that extend over 2 years period (which is a lot in electronics) and you also get support. Now how many of the others do the same and for how long? Cellphone market is a place for predators.

A couple of angry boys that were ignored will never change how big business works. They will continue being ignored on a larger scale. Don't you see that?

And by the way the real magic is when you manage to overcome the problems and obstacles without sources, with reversed engineering. That's why linux will never die.
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
Thanks for the replies. I saw on the Internet that Mediaserver would sometimes fail and enter the "fail loop" when presented a 0 Bytes picture. I removed all 0 Bytes pictures that I could come across, or just unreferenced hazardous folders (.nomedia file trick).

It's dropped to 15% for now. I will babysit Mediaserver in the next days.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
The Viking dev is called Schoolsux. ;)

Yes, I know those guys will be ignored, just like how everyone were ignored at the big spam attack last year.

Also, I don't want an aosp-themed touchwiz. I got my reasons.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
First of all, I don't think anybody here uses CM because of the "look and feel", so I don't think the "plenty of modding options to make it exactly like it" is even worth discussing.

Secondly, you think Qualcomm doesn't have any corporate policy? That's not the point, Samsung had even promised to help the community with Exynos source problems in a BBQ event and had naturally completely forgotten about it. Along with that, the kernel sources Samsung releases are out-of-date and probably not even valid (this is technically illegal to do). This isn't about capitalism vs. communism either, as you're trying to press the point with the whole "big corporations will win the race" idea; nobody here wants to dissolve corporate power, heck, I'm sure half of us work in corporations. But try looking up what its like working at Samsung, and then tell me if you still support their "policies".

Thirdly, why all the trashing on Samsung: as already mentioned, bad kernel sources, no support as promised, PLUS, Daniel's device was half broken (out of the box), there's the Exynos exploit, eMMC failure bug, chargers and USB cables and earphones frying within two days of usage, etc. Oh, and TouchWiz.

Fourthly, everybody knows business don't change the way they work because the community is angry with them, duh.

And lastly, reverse-engineering is not "magic", it's difficult and at times impossible. If you want I'll write a simple C code and give you the compiled object, let me see how easily you manage to work your "magic". "Linux will never die" is completely irrelevant and unrelated to this topic.

EDIT: Here's a quote that might give you some idea as to why Samsung is so badly regarded on XDA:

Bug or Feature?

Hi

I don't know if this is a bug or a feature: I extensively use the profiles of CM10.1. Now when I switch to a profile where I have "Lock screen mode: Insecure" it works as expected, but I am not able to get to the notifications neither the settings in the lockscreen by swiping down from the top of the screen. When I use system default and set it to swipe it works.

So is this a bug? Can anybody confirm this? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S III General] TecQuality:
hello, there's an issue with the clock/weather widget with the latest nightly, it's always 'loading' ... someone has noticed?
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
just wondering...

i don't know if this is a glitch or something but if you're at the lock screen and you select the camera lock screen widget, exit the camera, lock the phone and then go to unlock again the background/wallpaper would be replaced by a black screen and camera buttons. it doesn't go away either, the only wait it can be "cleared" is to reboot the phone.

i did a fresh install a few days ago so i don't think it's that.

this is what it looks like:

[Galaxy S III General] Roman91:
who are the gs3 devs???

because the rhythm of updates is amazing.

there are changes every day :D:D
[Galaxy S III General] svetloslav:
I can tell you this: Samsung sold millions of S2 of S3 and will sell millions of S4. Sony, Oppo and the bunch will be lucky to get 5000-10000 units sold each and even if more it will be a joke. All those millions of customers keep using the S3 and are enjoying it. There are a few defective units, sure, like in any mass product. Does Samsung give support and replace items? Yes. They promised and did not deliver. So what? Apple is actively fighting pawnage, yet jailbreaking will never stop. Why? Because there are so many users of the iPhone out there. It is the developers/hackers who have to adapt to the particular situation with the phone and not the opposite. No one will develop for a model that has hardly any users even if there is no remuneration for the xda development. The majority speaks the rules. The big corporations will be the once to present the coolest models with the best hardware and they won't give any sources. That's the reality. When time goes by, devs. will accept this situation and will start working on solutions. There is no other way to go no matter how angry someone may be.

You can trash Samsung all you want, but eventually you will have to buy a fridge, oven, TV, monitor, cellphone, or what not from them. Sony is biting the dust very soon and Apple will follow. World is changing.
[Galaxy S III General] codeworkx:
these are general cm changes, but nothing gs3 specific.

so it should be "who are the cm devs???" ;)
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
I'm thankful to have CM 10.1 for this device, and every time I wander back to stock, I find the return to CyanogenMod absolutely refreshing. I'm happy to put up with the small annoyances just to have this thing of beauty running on my device.

[Galaxy S III General] Roman91:

[Galaxy S III General] svetloslav:
Bluetooth works very well, but it has a shorter range than on stock. If you refer to this than yes, without sources devs probably won't be able to fix it. If you intend to stream music and phone calls in a car, than bluetooth works outstanding, for other uses requiring a longer range you are out of luck. Count on about 2m to 5m of a distance in the current implementation.

Turn on GPU rendering and set animation to .5 and you'll find it far faster than touchwiz.
