Notifications from Facebook Messenger don't seem to be working for me anymore.. after upgrading to 2.5 from 2.2. I even went and turned off all notifications from FB Messenger and turned them back on, but they still don't work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sid0101:
Performance Control stopped working

Clean flashed 2.5.

I'm trying to get undervolt settings to stick on boot. Nothing under 1150mv. OCed to 1700hz at 1225mv (a -50 across the board until 1242 which stays at 1150).

Tried Trickster mod but it wasn't sticking with that either.

Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pacom20003:
Have you tried reinstalling Facebook?

Sent from my white house!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] coachmoore:
I see a lot of people saying to flash a different boot loader on here. Will that mess anything up if I go back to hyper drive or stock?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Clear Cache & Dalvik. Plus re-install the FB Messenger.

No It will not. You do not have to flash unless you have problems installing v2.5 or simply wish to have most current bootloader.

EDIT -

Bit late reply on this Shenry, just know that LS has a couple of Bootup Scripts in init.d. These scripts do set some of the Wi-Fi & Data tweaks (you referred to ) in Boot.prop. Purely FYI.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Beako:
I've tried reinstalling Facebook and messenger, still not working. Also tried wiping dalvik cache, as well as both the apps' data.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You have to uninstall > wipe > Install > Wipe. Precisely in that order.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Beako:
Do I do this with both facebook and messenger or just messenger?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Both Together Please. Preferably wipe in the Recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Beako:
Doesn't seem to be working. :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Try this

1) Settings > Apps and clear cache, data, then force stop each of those apps.

2) (Optional) uninstall apps

3) Open any file browser and delete the Android folder located in your internal SD

4) boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache

5) fix permissions

6) reboot and reinstall IF you followed step 2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Ah, that's interesting info about the init.d and boot.prop... Thx! :good:

T-Mobile

Does this rom work with the SGH-T999L model?

Because i really don't want to flash another rom that had bricks my phone :/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] axesd:
Anyone uses a portable AMP here?

I plugged my D-Zero and it would restart or not doing anything. Anyone mind to share your opinion? Does it have to do with the kernel?

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Glad to help. Init.d is akin to the Startup folder or autoexec.bat on Windoz.

To be honest, I do not believe this rom is intended for your phone as it has been written for the SGH-T999 Model.

Having said that, it is not all negative. Any ROM that does not flash Drivers should be OK. By Drivers, I include GPS, Wireless, Camera & Modem (CSC too). The Only difference between the 2 phones is that you have a LTE antenna that the SGH-T999 does not. So especially with the Modems you have to be extremely careful.

As far as Kernels are concerned, they usually do include drivers (Duh!). All the Custom Roms do include a Kernel of choice. This rom includes LeanKernel. So you need to ask that kernel's thread about the drivers it includes.

Hope that helps. Here's the XDA Q&A on the subject for future questions.

I do not use one but am willing to help. I am assuming you plugged the headset output to the Amp's input. This caused your phone to reboot. As a starting point, check to see if you listening on portable speakers or headset worked fine. Then freeze the DSP Manager App in case it somehow interfered. From the Manual please check if Audio IN port of the Amp is powered or Unpowered. Restart the phone yourself and try to connect. One other thing. Try changing kernel on the phone to see if that's the issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] insaned:
For reference.

Finally for this going with 3G again.

Had to use a NSPro box, flashing stock, clearing dalvik cache, flashing again stock, rooting and then writing IMEI.

So, if everything fails, try to find someone with a NSPro.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Good to know. Did you happen to check if 900 MHZ is now operational ? Also a speed test perhaps ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Yeah, I'm very familiar with the init.d... I've been a Linux-head since it's inception (~25 yrs). I was not aware, however, that the GS3 init.d file could be configured to maintain the modem tweaks! :) Thanks again, bud!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] UncleMike1:
4G issues - Like everyone else.

I've been running the stock 4.1.2 rom on my T-Mobile S3 since it was released. Decided to flirt with a custom rom again which I haven't done in a few years due to them never being "quite right" no matter what tweaks and fixes you apply. I installed the new 2.5 and what do you know, a problem straight out of the gate. NO 4G. Speed tests done on identical phones at the same time, one with LS2.5 and one on stock 4.1.2 with 4G logo, yielded the following results. LS2.5 download 5.7Mbps - upload 2.5Mbps / stock 4.1.2 on 4G download 19.5Mbps - upload 5.5Mbps. WTF. Same ole same ole I guess huh, not "quite right" again. Nice try though, everything else seemed pretty good but the one thing that matters the most just isn't there. I've google'd and searched threads and read every post I could find and came up with nothing to solve this. Any ideas because I like the Rom? I hope somebody can help or its Samsung and T-mobile winning again with the stock rom. LOL! I don't know about anybody else but I would definitely prefer a slightly laggy UI and have blazing download speed than the other way around. I'm really not trying to bash but it gets a little old when rom after rom has issues and people have to spend hours and hour trying to find solutions. I think the devs just take on too many projects at one time and things get missed too frequently. Well anyways, I'll stop babbling now. If anyone has the solution to this problem please respond. Thanks

P.S. this happened with more than one 4.2.2 rom and yielded the same speed test numbers as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:
You're more than welcome to go back to stock, mate.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jaytee20:
No problems with data speeds on this ROM here, or anything for that matter. I'm getting re-farmed speeds of 19+ regularly here in Denver. Better than stock. Maybe try to spend more time providing details on setup, modem, etc. And less time bashing and you may get some help. Otherwise, like the other guy said, go back to stock
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Tunasty:
You know what really gets old?

When users don't read the OP and start saying, "it's not quite right" or when users think it's easy to be a developer and top of that, not appreciate for what they do for us. Did you pay for this rom? Did you have to do anything special for the rom? Did you see anyone else reporting about laggy UI? How can you just come and write a big ass paragraph over the stuff that's not even true?

Here's the right way to report a bug:

1. READ THE OP!

2. Read the Q&A thread, there is a reason why it's there.

3. Search for your apn settings. Maybe google?

4. Search for a different modem

5. Read at least the last 10 pages before posting. Takes maybe 10 mins.

6. Keep your personal thoughts to yourself.

If you really have a problem with the rom, grab the files and start building your own rom or go back to stock as the other guy mentioned.

Sent from my rooted S4!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eff0rtless:
there's multiple things you can do get your speeds back to stock. You have to understand that you're using a custom rom and it's not perfect right out of the box. It'll take time and effort to get it the way you want it. Like others mentioned, it would be helpful if you shared what modem, kernal and apn settings you currently have. I'm sure others here would be glad to help you.

I just made the leap as well to the new JB rom and was able to get it all sorted out in a few short hours. good luck
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Well said.. I was about to throw all that out til you beat me to the punch! Anyone who dares to say such things that's fine.. just shut up, go put your skills to work and build your own 100% stable ROM. Oh wait you have no such skills... That's why you come feeding off the devs to hand you stuff to play with on your expensive little toy, needless to say for FREE and show no true support or appreciation...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
Is there a way to get the stock touchwiz camera on this rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] insaned:
Everything operational now. On H+ most of the time now.

Speed is now 10 to 15 times faster than with the edge only!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Needless to say, it was not my intent to question your expertise. Apologies if I appeared to do so. Its that teacher streak in me that gets me in trouble. :cowboy:

I don't think you quiet understood completely what it means by Custom Rom. You have to understand, yelling at the Developers is a cardinal sin on XDA. Afterall this is a Developer forum not user forum. Having said that, CM's previous versions and some other ROMs were notorious for partly working. But now with Nightlies vs. Release, that issue is resolved. I had half a mind to poke on your post as well. But I see that my colleagues here have done an admirable job. So my first sentence is all I will say there.

Now to your problem, you clearly did try to do some research. But you really should have read at least last couple of pages on this thread. eff0rtless just now went through the same pain and successfully got the speed back. Please understand that unlike Stock rom, Carrier settings such as APN and Network mode do not get transmitted to Custom Roms due to variety of issues including being proprietary. When you flash a custom Rom on top of Stock, the APNs are lost if the Sim Card does not Re-Register to the Network correctly.

As far as speeds are concerned, they are primarily determined by APN, Modem, IMEI & Kernel Drivers. In your case I suspect APN since everything else is ok. In case you did not know, APN is what you see "Access Point Names" in settings. There should be one entry called T-Mobile US LTE in there using fast.t-mobile.com as the APN. I have strong suspect this to be the cause of your problem.

Short Answer NO. Long Answer, There are quiet a few 4.2 Cameras that have even better features like HDR and Photosphere. Would you mind specifying what makes Stock Special ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DiorHomme:
good battery life but FUAARK it takes forever to charge.... I like to wait till phone is dead to charge again if i can help it or if its convenient but last night....

plugged up phone and it only made it to 60% charge in like 6-7 hours.... wtf is going on
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Sounds like you need a new charger. First, navigate to Settings > Battery and make sure that (AC) is displayed next to Charging and not (USB). Once you can confirm this then try different cables, preferably a BlackBerry USB . It may or may not be something due to the adapter. If still a no go then you may need to invest in a new battery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Was it plugged into the Wall or your PC ? Also how old is your battery ?

Lastly, Silly but have to ask does your wall charger have a loose connection by chance ? You know those modern Samsung Charger tend to develop a loose connection where the USB end of the cable meets the Wall plug.

P.S. - Please keep the language clean. Its not that hard. We do have varied age audience here.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
I failed to mention the language. . That is a general rule here and is undoubtedly understandable. Thanks Perseus!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
Well i was using stockorama which has both cameras and I compared pictures from each side by side. The touchwiz pictures looked much better in my opinion.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Have you tried the 4.2 Camera by Mike Ramsay ? Here's the thread. I happened to try that alongside the stock Camera on another S3. Liked this one better. Now do understand, if your DPI is different, a picture by good camera can appear crap.

Not sure if I should post my IMEI

Can't seem to find modem info.

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
That's a pretty vague question. Do kindly note others may not take kindly to that questions.

I have been using this as Daily drive Since January. Haven't had issues so far. Just so we are absolutely clear.

My Definition of Daily Drive is

1. Cell bars come on and Data Connection is high speed.

2. Wi-Fi Does what its supposed to.

3. GPS can navigate.

4. Can use a simple bluetooth headset to do handsfree calls.

5. Orientation & Camera works.

Anything other than this is not a Daily Driver category. If you have some nitpicky app that must work with the rom or something you must have but not in the above list, then do a search and read.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cobra281:
that's exactly what i was looking for. i meant no harm, the hard work is always appreciated! thank you!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Sounds about Right. NEVER Specify your IMEI anywhere. Your Baseband version (in About Phone) is your Modem.

The above should do it. If you still have issues then we will see how that goes. I am curious about your Modem/baseband.

Best way to say thanks is to click the Thanks button for a given post. Just FYI.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] UncleMike1:
Baseband Modem = T999UVDMD5

Should it matter if the Kernal has att in it instead of tmo?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
No it does not matter that kernel is compatible with this device. The other device which has Stock Rom and better speed than this one, can you check to see if it has the same baseband ? Also try to match the APN with it. If it is not the same, then flash the same modem to this one.

Lastly go through this thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jaytee20:
Try using the T-Mobile US APN instead of the T-Mobile US LTE APN. should look like this

No apologies necessary, buddy... I did not take it that way.

But thank you for the consideration... That's very kind of you! :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] UncleMike1:
I have everything set and saved like the pictures show and the same thing, 3G. One thing that I didn't state in my OP was that I do get H+ only when data is being sent and received. Should I switch to a different Kernal or modem or both. This is getting very frustrating.

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

I matched up everything to the phone that is stock but still the same thing, no 4G. HUH!

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

would flashing the same modem possibly fix the problem and would I hurt anything doing so

?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Tunasty:
You will see the 4G icon only when you're getting LTE service. If you just want the phone to display 4G icon, even though the service will be H+, then look for icon mods.

You will see 3G icon when your data is idle and when its retrieving data, it will become H+.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] UncleMike1:
Let me get this straight. So, what your saying is that everyone that has this rom does not have a 4g icon ever unless connected to lte? Only 3g when idol and H+ when sending and receiving data? If thats the case then why the different data speeds between stock rom and custom rom? The 4g icon on the stock rom is really not 4g?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
You've got it, dude! Sux donut? :eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Tunasty:
Yes thats correct. Now you know how carriers like to fool around with their customers

Sent from my rooted S4!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
This is expected behavior. Another modem won't help. This is not Rom issue as such. Its known carrier fudging.

In addition to what Shenry said, its not the Rom. Its the T-Mo Tower. First and foremost, your phone is not LTE. It will never be LTE since that antenna is missing. In order to make extra buck and give the phone with the missing antenna, T-Mo came out with SGH-T999L. Some say since T-mo is slow rolling out the True LTE anyway, it doesn't matter.

What the Stock rom does is it shows a 4G icon whenever the phone transmits. Switches back to 3G icon when idle. You will never see the H+ icon on Stock. Likewise with Custom Roms you see the true nature and H+. If you want the Stock behaviour mimicked, then like Tunasty said, there are Mods you can flash in recovery. XDA Search of 4G Battery mod will give plenty. Let me know if you don't.

Lastly, H+ isn't bad. It is what ATT & Verizon call "3G LTE" or Just LTE. Now when they speak 4G LTE, that's true LTE.

Do I need to do a full wipe if I'm coming from 2.4? Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dave2metz:
You will probably be okay, but I always fully wipe when going to a new version. The only time I dirty flash is when I am updating nightly builds. It's just my preference. I like having the piece of mind knowing that I installed everything correctly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cobra281:
anyone else having problems copying a bunch of files via usb from windows to the phone? keeps saying "Cannot copy filename.ext. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected."
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
It is advised to. You will do ok with Dirty flash. But if you run into any issues, you will have to.

Turn USB Debugging on. Make sure the JB icon comes in the tray when connected to USB.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] UncleMike1:
So after having this rom running for the last day or so, I have to say it is very "smooth". I have reached 15.8Mbps on speed tests while the stock phone was getting low 9s. I guess it is what it is. The only problem on the list at this point is the wifi signal strength. I can only reach 3 bars at best and ghats when I'm standing on top of the router and the signal degrades very quickly with little distance between the router and the phone. What would happen if I flashed another kernel and do you have any suggestions for one? Thanks

Each kernel has different drivers. Who knows your Wi-Fi issue may go away with another Kernel ?

+1 to Shenry's suggestion of KT 747. Go ahead and try. If you do have issues, please post on that thread please.

Disregarding. Next time check my Signature.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eioous:
Quick question, after installing and tinkering around, I somehow removed my time and battery icons in the status bar. I looked through the settings but can't seem to find them. Anybody know where they are located? Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKucho:
Hey man, same thing happened to me, you'll find them under Settings>Statusbar>Battery Icon for battery>Clock and Date for clock. Hope I helped!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Install ES file explorer then try.

Yes this rom should work. Any ROM that DEFINITELY does not flash Modem will do you fine. Never flash SGH-T999 modem by accident.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKucho:
Has anyone successfully flashed the AC!D audio mod? If so, what were your steps?

Also, do you guys recommend sticking with the stock lean kernel or should I flash ktoonz? I'm looking mostly for battery life over performance. Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Yes and by following the provided instructions on the thread. It will not work to it's full potential unless you uninstall any previous audio mods you may have flashed or installed off the Play Store.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKucho:
Thanks, can you please link me to the thread you used? It's not that I'm lazy but I've seen a v5 thread and a v7 and I'm not sure which one to use. And I haven't installed any 3rd party audio mods, but I think this ROM comes with DSP or something. Thanks once again Luigi, you've helped me a lot haha
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
No problem bro. Yes, DSP is considered a 3rd party audio mod so that must be removed prior to flashing the Acid audio mod. Use this thread for v5 and read the entire OP. I personally use the AIO Aroma installer rather then flashing separate zip files. Also, I'm aware this is in the international forums. However, the mod is universal so you have nothing to worry about. You are completely safe to flash this. Hope this helps. Please do report back with your results.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2002197
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKucho:
Alright, just downloaded the Aroma file, and ready to flash. How would I remove the DSP manager? Titanium backup?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
That or any root browser will do. Just look for it in /system/app/ and delete it then proceed to flashing the Aroma installer. Do kindly note that you must take your time while navigating and making your selections through Aroma as it has been known to freeze up, especially within the final step to flashing the mods. Should you face any issues such as this simply hold the power button for about 10 seconds until the phone shuts down completely then reboot back into recovery and try again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKucho:
Kay thanks, here I go!

EDIT: Just flashed it and chose the noozcide or something. Booted up fine but don't see the build.prop properties added, not sure if I notice a difference in audio ether.
