[Galaxy S III General] Scarface1991:
You might want to reset your counter in download mode, so if your phone dies you still can claim for warranty ;)

But as said, all discussion about that should be in the SDS Thread

[Galaxy S III General] cv19985:
If you have network problems (or dont receive calls) with latest nightly and you have flashed in the past the "keepril.zip" script try deleting it and flash the latest nightly again. it worked for me.

you will find the script you have to delete in this path using root access :

system/addon.d

and delete the file called "82-ril" or something similar

ok since the word camera will drive the post crazy i will just ask it nicely.

are we still having problems with the camera, i know that we should untill Samsung release something we are stucked but i know CM guys are smart as #$%$# so, how is the camera working.

im dying to go back to CM but the camera was a big deal breaker.
[Galaxy S III General] nadram:
Hey all. I've had the same problem for almost 3 weeks now. Tried different camera apps none worked. Sometimes the front camera works but not with default app.

Did a factory reset and nothing changed.

[Galaxy S III General] Coruja747:
I know that we cant post bugs here, but its just an ADVISE

If you enabled the developer menu, DON'T use the "simulate secondary display" option. It will brick the android (just the android, not the phone). If you try to use this, the android will freeze and if you try to reboot it will never reboot again because it will always freeze (the same as a boot loop).

I enabled this **** at this moment and to fix it I've had to boot android on secure mode (boot holding volume down button) to disable this setting. I know how to do this but probably many users dont and they will break the android, so it will be a great idea disable this button if the phone doesnt support this setting

Just to thank you so much devs...

I'm a long time user of CM on the S2 and recently got a S3 from work. I kept it stock for some time just to see how it was like, and oh crap^^ it felt just like a low end device compare to my S2. Laggy, freezing and s**t.

So I jumped to this thread, set CM up and goooodd. Amazing to see what a community of great guys like you can achieve, where that big buggy Sammy just throw a crappy software on.

Just my 2 cents, but again congrats to all the devs.

[Galaxy S III General] sachilleas:
Do you know what camera module you have? I have "ZD.." for instance. CM team made an implementation camera related some days ago and your camera should work without you having to do anything!

Only non stock based Rom i face excactly your problem is SlimBean, where I flash Siyah kernel and everything is good afterwards. But with CM never had a problem. I also guess that you have tried to wipe before installing the Rom..

[Galaxy S III General] nadram:
Don't know where to check the module. Can you let me know how?

The CM camera used to work fine with me. I was using the nightlies already. Came from stock straight to CM nightlies no other custom ROMs.

Yes I did full wipe before installing the first nightly, and again this week to try and fix my issue.

Camera worked fine for a long time until around March 24.
[Galaxy S III General] FordT:
Bug or feature?

I upgraded to the 20130412 nightly today, and now I'm getting cell broadcasts all the time. They seem to be the IDs of the antenna towers for mobile phone connections. Are these now activated on purpose? Has this to do with the RIL changes? How can I turn them off?

Edit: found the settings in the SMS app, but they seem to indicate emergencies like Tsunamis or earthquakes, not moving from one tower to another... What are the right settings?
[Galaxy S III General] sachilleas:
You must be on a stock based Rom to check your camera module and firmware and even update it.

[Galaxy S III General] ananjay:
3G standby should be avoided if you are using AOSP based ROMs. I prefer stock-based ROMs because it's gives me more battery. Battery consumption also depends on your usage. No matter how much AOSP is pure android it doesn't have battery life like stock roms.
[Galaxy S III General] Ev0d3vil:

It's true about battery drain. I was using stock rom for over a year and i had to charge phone every second day and now on cm i disconnect charger in the morning and in the evening i got like 15-25%. Cm drains my battery insanely and i keep it only because it looks awesome and is ultra smooth.
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
Guys Battery drain is all on how you use the device. Now I have been on AOKP for the past month and only have to charge my phone every 36 hours or so, now the same rom on the same device of my brother has to be charged every 18 hours. Hope you get the point. Battery complaints really are pointless. These are nightly roms that are super APLHA releases.
[Galaxy S III General] oae08:
Guys who are having battery drain and want to stay on stock kernel should try greenify. Really helps hibernating battery draining apps.

One question though, anyone here noticing new wakelocks because of the new ril commit ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
That is UTTER bullsh*t. CM doesn't hog battery because it "looks awesome and is ultra smooth", it does so because (1) users keep 3G on all the time, do not hibernate hungry apps like Facebook, and have features like location reporting and Google Now enabled (which doesn't even exist in stock ROMs yet), and (2) it is after all a nightly build, and there is a lot of variance in firmware-hence-drivers between the same devices too, so some unlucky people face drainage by the Android system.

PS: I get 20+ hours of battery life.
[Galaxy S III General] jshashwat93:
All I'm trying to say is that it's the nightlie since yesterday for causing the excessive drain for most of us. it was more than perfect and stock like till day before yesterday. Is it because of some new wake locks after RIL?
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Doubtful, I haven't noticed any change in my battery life, it's still falling at a similar rate.
[Galaxy S III General] Darklife1:
Ugh I have an issue that seems pretty idiotic, but I can't sideload apps. When trying to install an apk the next/install button on the permissions screen doesn't respond. It's not the touchscreen, installing apps from insecure sources is enabled as well so I have no clue what could be causing this.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III General] kaczkalolo:
BS please!!!

I know what i'm sayin- i was on stock and had all the same apps and g runnin' all the time and battery was much more better then now on CM. I'm not saying CM is bad but life of battery sucks on it!

Now iąm reverting back to stock because of that. I reallz love CM and I got it working fine on i9100 but on i9300 it sucks :(

[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
Your using a nightly. These are alpha builds. You can not judge battery on a build that you use for less then 24 hours. That doesn't even give the rom time to settle.

What have you don't to try to find the cause of the drain?

Wayne Tech S-III
[Galaxy S III General] KrewsialNL:
Im using the nightly from a week ago, because its stable for me.

Got rid of wakelocks (the drainer ones) , freezed apollo, i habe greenify to hibernate apps and for the rest its exactly the same as if i would use stock rom.

Anything else?
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
So let me understand. Your using an alpha build from a week ago that most likely had a ton of the code changed?

Wayne Tech S-III
[Galaxy S III General] KrewsialNL:
In other words, as long as we use nightlies, we ll never have battery friendly roms at hand...you cant update each nightly because yeah...you cant check drains...but if you dont update...you can never know.

You re making no sense.

Dont get me wrong, i love the rom. Im just trying to understand why cm roms (on all my devices they have been draining more than stock roms. Stable as well as nightlies) tend to use more battery than some others when its so lightweight
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Nightlies are unstable and not daily drivers (for a lot of people they are daily drivers but officially they're not). Bug reports aren't accepted because of the fact they're unstable nightlies. What works one day may break the next and so on. One day you might have the best battery life in ages while other days it may be shyte.
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
Nightlies are made to see what breaks. The CM team has stated this already. They are not ment for daily drivers.

To be honest I don't know what to tell you. Again what have you done to try and nail down the drain? Any logcats? How about checking with better battery stats? Running pure rom without apps? Have you tried not restoring your apps to see if its the cause? Not restoring any system data like wifi connections and such? I mean really how do you expect people to help without providing even the basic needed info?

Wayne Tech S-III
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
BINGO!!!!!!

Wayne Tech S-III
[Galaxy S III General] scoobyjenkins:
Well, I use xxdlib modem which matches cm ril, though with it being open source now, I'm not sure how that affects things. It's working for me fine and had no issues since updating to the latest nightly, though I did a megawipe before updating just in case. I haven't used getril but used it to check status and it still says it's matching and my ril is xxdlib.
[Galaxy S III General] KrewsialNL:
I get it with the nightlies, I do.

We can go on and on about this, but it would hurt the thread. In regards to nightlies, you both are absolutely right.
[Galaxy S III General] giopas:
Hi I'm running CM10.1 on my GS3 and I've noticed that camera does not work like the stock one, in particular regarding the zoom, very unstable and difficult to use it. Is it a common problem and is there a solution for that (even just flash stock camera)? Anyway there is no photosphere on CM10.1 for GS3 so it would not be a big loss.

Thanks for your help/advice.

giopas
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
It's a known issue and the result of not having the full and proper Exynos 4 source code to work with and there's no solution because we do not have said source. Supposedly things work better by using a third party camera app like the Huawei one found in the Themes and apps section or by using Play apps like "Camera ZoomFX" which is reported to work very well with CM.

The fact that there's no photosphere is because it isn't in aosp.
[Galaxy S III General] abmantis:
In fact the time does not delay but advances.

Two days ago I've updated my time with ClockSync, and set the system clock to match the atomic time. Today I checked and it is now 3.5 seconds after the current atomic time.

It's not an important issue, since I could set ClockSync to auto-update the system clock every day, but I would like to find out why it happens.

Am I getting old faster? :silly:

No deep sleep

With the 12/04 nightly, the phone isn't going to deep sleep anymore when on mobile data. One reason for the high battery drain.

edit: com.android.phone and /system/bin/rild are constantly using about 20% cpu time. After reboot, got 10 minutes sleep, after that the both processes are eating cpu and battery again.

[Galaxy S III General] gunnar236:
The build from 12th of April (the first opensource libril version) gives me aproxiamtly 50% less battery time than the build from 10th of April.. The battery menu reports the phone function as the main power drainer, even though I only made one single 2 min phone call. After 5 hours of standby and almost no usage at all, the battery was down to 30%. Toggling airplane mode gave me another 3 hours of standby.
[Galaxy S III General] Daelyn:
All this whine about battery life makes me wanna jump ship like all devs reading your crap day out and day in. Stay with stock Samsung if you're a cry baby, easy as that.
