"Services" restarting

Am I the only one having problems with "Services" restarting constantly? For example Tasker, Eye-Fi, Pebble App. They just go away in the notification tray and come back some time later. This started when updating to 2013-04-06 Nightly. Was on 2013-03-24 before I think. Could I download the old version somewhere? Didn't find it on the nightlies server?

Thanks!

Thanks! Then it must be another problem. Maybe I should set it up from scratch then. Always just cleared caches until now...

EDIT: Seems, that the problems start, whenn I start the new Chrome which came out some days ago...
[Galaxy S III General] lynxboy:
To those suffering from high idle drain, try temasek's CM10.1 build with his kernel.

After making the switch from the stock nightly build, my idle drain disappeared. I too was a bit taken aback by the high percentages lost in idle, even on 2G+WiFi.

His kernel is undervolted slightly, but I've gone for an aggressive UV using the Siyah Tweaks app.

Since switching, my battery life has been absolutely superb. Worth a try for those struggling.

Regards.

Do i need to flash this on top of gapps or instead of it?
[Galaxy S III General] Eskyves:
I think i have found the cause of my battery drain: Google+

I have uninstall it and the battery works fine...Any idea why it cause this problem?

I have tried to reinstall it but the problem came back.
[Galaxy S III General] thesebastian:
Also try disabling "Report from this device" in "Maps" application.
[Galaxy S III General] Codekrypt:
I think it's because of background sync. I remember Entropy512 mention it too. If you don't use the application just disable/delete it. Or just turn off background sync.

Sound icon in notification drawer

Hi Guys

Was on CM9, CM10 and CM10.1 now, but there is one thing i really don't get: what does the speaker icon with a bar on the left do in the notification drawer?

You have silent, vibrate, normal and then the normal icon but with something on the left.

I really want to know what it means :)

Thanks

I'm guessing you came to cm from Samsung 4.1.2? If so then I'd recommend flashing ICS and upgrading to cm10.1 after that.
[Galaxy S III General] guerouig:
I've flashed the 13.12.12 and it works perfectly, simply unbilievably awsome; as far as I'm concerned it is a nightly as it stands. Thanks codeworkx and the reste af the team. Deespite what I've read from some members, battery consumption is actally better than ususal (coming from 4.1.2 official rom)
[Galaxy S III General] mariotme:
Same here loss of data drops occurring on 13th build while having excellent signal

No i came from ics checkrom v4. So it has to do with something else

I actually upgraded straight from CM10 nightlies. I was on CM9.1 before that, I have never run the official Samsung JB ROM. Straight from the ICS Stock ROM.

[Galaxy S III General] drakester09:
Lots of drama in that post for sure... , in the end what you said does not change the fact that your previous post does not respect the wishes of Temasek and the CM team.

If a ROM developer asks you for such a small thing in exchange after all the work he/her has put through, is it too hard to comply?

It is a matter of decency, not rule enforcement.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
I don't think anyone intends offense here, so none should be taken. This is a delicate situation, and the tension on the part of the CM team who are constantly being bombarded by idiotic questions and "bug reports" which are typically known issues caused by Samdung's faulty drivers or are caused by the idiots themselves in 99.999% of all cases, by the use of non-stock mods which cannot be supported by CM devs.

Temasek who is trying his best to support innovative cherry-picks and give credit where it is due. I'm using Temasek's kernel with CM, and to me, it's the best of both worlds. Boeffla support and nightly builds.

Both sides have valid points.
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
Dont think it is just Samsung. It is all OEM devices that are not built to run the AOSP drivers. This is something you will either live with or move to a Nexus. Plain and simple.

Ok guys lets relax. If someone asked not to mention their kernel in a roms threads. Respect their choice. The reason may be that it will cause issues and the Dev knows it will. What ever the reason is, respect his wishes.

For those that dont know me. Let me let you in on something. Leave the drama at the door. It will not be tolerated.

WIFI not working!

Well I've successfully installed this beautiful ROM and everything works great - even the gapps but I can only use my 3G data - when I try and connect to my wifi network, it keeps saying 'Obtaining IP address' but never actually connects.

Bug report

Hi! I have a bug to report that should be a quick and easy fix.

When I'm listening to music on Apollo and hit the Dolphin audio assistant (Dolphin's Siri) then cancel my request, the music wont turn back on. I need to reboot my phone. Apollo says it's playing (the cursor is moving) but nothing's playing. I tried pausing and playing again and force-quitting Apollo, to no avail.

Here ya go.
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
An easy fix on a nightlie that us alpha software? Not likely as some of the code that is in nightlies are not always make it to final builds. Nightlies are made to see what breaks.

[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
That sounds like a DHCP issue with the router. Do you use one of those cheap ones? Try another router, I'm sure your phone will connect to it.

Fix it then :)

Hey I was just wondering what the current bugs were? I know TV-out is but I don't really care about that. I tried searching but I just get a bunch of varying opinions... My sister got this phone and she wanted me to get CM on it for her but I have never tried this ROM out because I don't own an S3.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] b3ndech0:
anyone?
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
its working fine for me. the display is black as long as I hold the phone on my ear. so its most likely an issue on your side
[Galaxy S III General] leinobOy:
Hey mate!

I've had cm10.1 for a while now and I haven't noticed any kind of bugs. The outlook of this rom is gorgeous and it is definitely the best rom i've ever had. You should really get cm10.1 to your sisters phone. She'll love it :)
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
If she uses anything that uses the graphics chip or the camera firmware a lot (Instagram!), TouchWiz will be better, because the libs and HALs are near-impossible to reverse-engineer. TV and exFAT will never be available - proprietary. Some people have issues with SIM Toolkit, some with Tethering/Hotspot, but these aren't global.

[Galaxy S III General] aayush.garg:
nah, my router is fine. all devices connect but not my cm10.1 rom. The thing is the wifi was working on the default Samsung ROM (touchwiz 4.1.2)
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
Ok I have cleaned up the last few pages. Now lets stay on topic and that is this Rom as is, there is a reason the CM doesnt accept bug reports on nightlies. This is because nightlies are not supposed to be used as daily roms. They are only done to see what breaks with new code changes that the team puts in. Will this cause issues? Yup. Will you find any real support? Nope.

Now if a dev doesnt want issues with his custom kernel posted about in this thread. RESPECT his/her wishes. Personally I dont think any nightly should have any support at all as there is none other then people guessing about things they have no idea about. Example. User X has an issue that can be fixed by doing XYZ but it will only work for that one nightly as the code changes again the next night.

Now as for the enforcer comment. You may see me as an enforcer, but what I am is a user just like you. I have been modding/Flashing/building custom roms since back before alot of people even knew you could put a custom OS on a Moto Razr flip phone.

This is a Development forum. Not a rom forum or a place to make your phone cool.....Oh hell I will not repeat myself. Click my Banner if you want to know. Bottom line is this. Act like a child here and I will treat you like one.

This is for all buggers who complain about battery life…
[Galaxy S III General] Limbani:
Hey, what was your screen on time?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Let's just say that if she likes taking a lot of photos, TouchWiz, i.e. stock roms or stock-based roms, is the better bet.

Yeah, well that only represents what it's like for you. Others may still have a shotty life as all devices aren't the same and the usage patterns vary a lot as well.
[Galaxy S III General] munketh2:
For all of you with battery drain, i found the solution take first charge the battery then take it out of the phone and dont put it in again.

When was it "not working"? It's functional and a lot better than earlier.
[Galaxy S III General] meissen:
When in Camera mode, the on/off button on the side no longer takes pictures. Hoping it's just a bug and not a removal of a feature -- that was one of my favorite features about the rom.
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
It is working for me, do you have it enabled in camera settings?.
[Galaxy S III General] mdfpido:
"Better" is relative. So how did you say it is better than previous nightlies?
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Apparently it's gotten much better in daylight - so TheShawty says, who's been switching between TouchWiz and CM so frequently that at any point the ROM on his phone is equivalent to Schrödinger's cat.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Yes, in good light situations, it's comparable to, if not on par with the camera on stock. In lower light, however, that's when you'll notice the difference.
[Galaxy S III General] nadram:
Since March 24 approximately. I didn't say anything cos someone else asked about it. I get a grey screen, all the on screen buttons are there though. Sometimes Gallery.apk crashes.

[Galaxy S III General] mdfpido:
I agree that under good lighting conditions, it's there, but not quite. But at least it is indeed "better" now.

I actually tried my luck after I updated my phone's camera firmware to ZDFI0 or something, I have been using stock Sammy ROM for two and a half months straight with no problems, but I just wanted to try CM 10.1 again. Guess what, I couldn't stand it. That and the camera stills hangs with touch to focus with flash on on first shot. The bugs in Camera and battery drains outweigh the benefits of running an AOSP ROM. Nandroid backups are godsend.
[Galaxy S III General] ididnt:
You are welcome to elaborate on your excitement please..What did you find?
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
No big issues for me, I'm using CM for nearly two months now. I bought a chinese battery that lasts a day and 4+ hours on screen, the only two bugs that I found a bit 'picky' are, the touch to focus with flash first shot crash (a workaround is not touching to focus the first pic, not a drama for me), and the graphic problems, or lack of graphics, in World of Goo.

I'm absolutely satisfied with this ROM, no plan to change in the near future.

It's just the camera software pulled from a Huawei ROM.

Basically, the TtF crash is present on the stock camera app, but not on third party camera apps.

There is a thread in the SGS3 general section which has the camera files you can install.

[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
Try not restoring from google. This has always caused me issues and app crashes when doing so with a CM based rom as CM changes alot of Google code.
[Galaxy S III General] scoobyjenkins:
I only use the Huawei cam and have had no issues with either that or the stock one for some time after updating the firmware. But recently the Huawei cam crashed just like the other one used to (for me, the screen turns off and the only thing to do is pull battery and reboot). It happened twice in a row when using autoflash in low light. Then when I opened the stock camera, I realised I had cleared gallery data recently, so I took a picture in good light then did touch to focus and took several in low light with autoflash, both on cm cam and Huawei, no more issues. Strange, as it hasn't happened for so long (never with Huawei cam) but I always took a 1st photo without ttf before.

Hey there

i wanted to report an issue i have for the developer for future reference,im not asking for a work around, but if there is obviously i will welcome it. im still having the issue where i make a call and as soon as it dials the screen drops to the background, and nothing i do seems to rectify that issue. ok thats it.

i wanted to know whats your views on fast dormancy with this build?

does the temasek kernel provide less of a battery drain? (i am aware that if i do install temaseks kernel then i should not psost any future bugs etc)
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
You do realize that no bug reports on nightlies are even looked at by the Dev team right? I mean the CM team does all their bug reports with a bug tracker for stable builds only.

Wayne Tech S-III
[Galaxy S III General] abukad:
yes i am slightly aware of that from reading it in a post previously.

i assumed they havent picked up on that for whatever reason or maybe its not considered a bug?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
How is the sound for you? That's one of the things forcing me back to stock.
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
Not on a nightly. Nightlies are made to see what breaks. Code will be added then removed and added again just to see what breaks. That is why they stated nightlies were not meant for daily use and was intended for developmental use only.

Wayne Tech S-III

Sound has been fine. Even louder then stock for me. Use the right player and EQ settings and you should be fine. Also could look into tweaking the profiles DB file if it is not good enough for you.

[Galaxy S III General] FearlessSpiff:
Thanks for the suggestion. That's what I already did 2-3 times! :( The only thing I'm unsure is, if I correctly wipe the stuff on the device in CWM. I wrote what I did in the OP. Could you please check if you see some problems with my workflow?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
All seems fine. Other then CWM (i use TWRP) that is pretty much what I do except not in that order.

Wayne Tech S-III
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Wipe data is the same as format /data -> neither of them actually "format" the partition, they just delete everything in /data except /data/media.

Wiping Dalvik and /cache isn't required if you're wiping /system and /data.

Try using CM without Gapps and see if the problem persists. Also make sure you are using the right Gapps, try an older Gapps (update all the sh*t via Play Store instead of direct flash). Worst case, try CM10/CM9 with corresponding Gapps.
[Galaxy S III General] abukad:
but i love this rom. the only issue is the call thing but im happy to use it as a daily driver cos its nice to stay up to date for when it becomes stable because theres no stable cm10 for i9300.

i initially assumed that it meant that you didnt charge your phone for that time, but doesnt the green line above indicate that you had it chaging for most ofthat time?
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
No, line colours depend on value of battery percentage remaining: green to yellow to red, I don't remember the data points. Whether charging or not will be determined by the slope of line: if it's rising it's charging. So go ahead and do some good old double differentiation to find out whether I cheated, eh? :D
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
No it doesnt mean that. It will be a long time till we see a stable (well not stable but non nightly) version. One of the great things about this crappy Exynos chip

Before others point out this isn't related to the thread, it's related to CM at least, and probably a lot of users on this thread who'll migrate to other devices sooner or later

Samsung's out of the picture. HTC has betrayed users by making new bootloaders unlockable (Sensation at least). Sony is probably being nice for now, it's doubtful whether they'll continue being "open". I don't know how LG is but considering it's again based off SK I don't think they would be amazingly supportive either.

So what's left?! Motorola?
[Galaxy S III General] ereziel:
And what about google phones, aren't they supposed to have everything released including drivers?
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
The best bet is to stay on an official Google device. I don't like that much the Nexus 4, I was about to buy it when it was released, but it got out of stock really soon in my country; I'm glad I didn't buy it because I tested a friend's device and in some aspects is very very disapointing.

Let's hope the Nexus 5 improves screen, sound and camera quality quite enough, and my personal hope, that LG's won't get involved anymore (bad experience with them in the past).
