[Galaxy S III General] keyslide:
For some reason on my new sgs3, I have installed todays nightfile (cm10.1) for the first time and I have this strange problem: when I try to open the camera app, my phone just restarts itself immediatly, I tried reinstalling stock rom and the camera works fine, then installed cm10.1 again, and the problem stayed, phone resetting itself. I tried every possible wipe, and fixing permissions, nothing seems to fix this problem. please help me :(
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
You did upgrade the camera firmware sometime ago surely, you have to revert back that upgrade, otherwise the camera crashes (new camera firmwares are not supported at the moment).
[Galaxy S III General] keyslide:
how do I do that? I have'nt upgraded something interntionally, I have a new phone maybe it came with a new firmware.
[Galaxy S III General] speedy1013:
I did notice the battery drained a lot quicker than usual after installing the 16th build and it was taking a few seconds for the screen to come back on after sleeping.

Installed the 17th build this afternoon and now my phone is back to being awesome again. Definitely noticing a speed improvement with 4.2.2. Keep up the good work!

Be sure you flash your correct camera sensor version, there's the ZD and the GD. You need a stock samsung rom for doing this.

[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
So I am on the old camera firmware would you recommend flashing back to ICS to install the firmware?

Does 4.2.2 have some fix to stop it from crashing?
[Galaxy S III General] lior-k:
Had the same battery drain issue when moving from 13th to 16th (See my post above).

Did you do something different when installing the 17th (e.g. clean cache)
[Galaxy S III General] svetloslav:
I would suggest you do a megawipe and than instal the latest nightly. It is a big change and needs a clean instal.

As for the battery I'm coming from the vanilla root box and it was eating battery like crazy after a couple of nightlies. So I thought it was because of the incremental updates, but here with Cm 10.1 nightly I installed only the rom and no gaps and oh boy battery life has returned to incredibly good. It is the google crap that does not let the phone to rest all the time with silly update checks. I advise everybody who can go without gaps to do it. You can leech the apps you need from the store on a PC and than put them on the phone and instal. For me it has changed the game completely. I'm never letting gaps back. It is a joy, and by the way camera works with flash like a charm. I told it no on the request for geotag-something-crap cause I don't need it.

And one final point. All installations work perfectly with the latest Philz touch. I find it to be the best CWM out there, plus it is sudden death cured.

The only sort of a problem I find is that Bluetooth range is shorter than the one of the stock rom, but I think I've read it was due to the not native nature of drivers and sammy using proprietary undisclosed stuff, but I might be wrong. The way bluetooth works now is good, and sound quality on my car stereo is superb, better than the sammy stock rom.

Thanks for an incredible rom! Of what I have tried so far this is the best!
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Ah, that would explain why the camera is perfectly stable for me.
[Galaxy S III General] AaronMichael:
Better yet, I spent a week and a half with CrapWiz and moved to CM. My camera works perfectly fine for me and I don't even know what driver I'm on!
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Neither do I. I have never updated the cam firmware. I tend to live by the rule: Don't mess with what you know nothing about
[Galaxy S III General] lior-k:
Thanks!

Well I just recently moved to AOSP (was on sammy). It works so smooth and fast! the multitasking is much much better than sammy.

But one thing is for sure - the battery lasted much more on sammy (4.5 hours vs. 3 hours screen time).
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Let everything settle for a few days.
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
so is it confirmed that the newer camera firmware works with no issue with 4.2.2?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Seems it's the other way around, that the newer ones still don't work.
[Galaxy S III General] AaronMichael:
+1
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
OK, i'm on the ZDFE02 firmware and it still crashes on T2F with flash on.
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
Well, you are lucky because your device came with the correct firmware, but other people aren't so lucky, so that guide for flashing to an oldest firmware (I flashed zdfe02 because my sensor is zd) may help someone.

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

Are you on the latest nightly?. I haven't experienced crashes lately with latest compiled build, and we have the same camera firmware version.
[Galaxy S III General] speedy1013:
Yep I did clean the cache for the 17th build. For the 16th I used the built in updater for the first time so maybe that was the problem.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Throw me a code to check the cam firmware and I'll happily check what I got that's so magical. :p
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
i'm on the 17 feb 2013 nightly. i don't know if i should back up and do a factory reset and see if that helps.

does CM10.1 have code to check the firmware? i have no idea on how to do that!
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
No idea either.

It's supposedly *#*#34971539#*#* but it only seems to work on stock Crapsung firmware.

Upgrading from CyanogenMod 10:

- Copy GApps and CM10.1 ZIPs to your SDCard

- Boot into Recovery

- Flash CM10.1 zip from SDCard

- Flash GApps zip from SDCard

- Reboot

- Wipe data of clock app

- Reset everything under Settings -> Date & Time otherwise editing alarms might cause FCs

Sorry to beat the proverbial dead horse, but I have to ask: does 4.2.2 support photosphere? I 've been dirty flashing for some time now, just asking if it's supported is all. Other than that, kudos and thanks for an amazing job, you guys deliver!

Nope...until Google releases photosphere sources..flash the camera from the nexus..the zip is somewhere on the forum

[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Could be the onset of SDS?

As for the camera posts flooded in the previous pages, I have no clue which firmware I've got, and I've never had major problems either (nothing a simple reboot didn't fix); and I'd bought this phone in December. It also has the 0xf1 eMMC revision.

This hints that newer firmware is more likely to be incompatible and/or have issues with CM.
[Galaxy S III General] KrewsialNL:
People looking for better battery statistics, download the app called "greenify" and simply add Facebook.and Maps to the list. It will shut down those apps when the phone is put to sleep, instead of having them hogging in the background.

Works like a charm :)
[Galaxy S III General] diegoviola:
Aghh... my phone is stuck in a loop now, I don't have battery, and when I plug the charger it won't charge the battery.

And I can't even boot into CWM from poweroff to reflash.

Any ideas what I can do?

I've did a dirty flash of the latest nighly.

Nevermind, it's charging now.
[Galaxy S III General] TheMrCaveman:
I did dirty flash and on 4.2.1 I had camera fc when touch to focus. Now since on 4.2.2 no more issues @ all no matter what I try. :D:thumbup:
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
so what should i do if the camera still FCs?
[Galaxy S III General] VistaX:
I think I know what went wrong. Stock recovery is being flashed when I reboot, so I assume that I have to untick reboot in Odin and everything will be alright? Then I can just pull the battery, put it back in and boot into CWM. Then perform backup, wipe and flash CM10.1.

I also assume that CWM will boot normally when I have CM and not stock, so I don’t have flash CWM everytime I need to use it?
[Galaxy S III General] lior-k:
Thanks for the info. I also updated the 16th using the built in updater. Will try to do a manual clean for the 17th and let you know

[Galaxy S III General] MewCore:
Anybody using CyanDelta Updater updater? I never had a problem with it and incremental updates that range from 10 to 20mb per build are much better then 170mb on a nightly :)
[Galaxy S III General] erto90:
Is almost impossible..camera has not been fixed, so why your is perfectly working?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Either of three things:

1. Live with it.

2. Return to CrapWiz

3. Try different cam firmwares and put them in /system/vendor/firmware

Dunno if step 3 works, though.

No audio in call

sorry for crossposting!

As already mentioned I have a no audio on call issue. everytime I restart the phone I first have to activate/deactivate the external speaker while in a call. otherwise I'm not able to hear anything. I already found out that on reboot my phone switches to earpiece as standard audio output. I also have found several other users on the internet with the same issue and also posted this in dev section http://forum.xda-dev...90#post37612990

I also tried other roms (stock and custom) and the problem only occurs on CM10.1 on all nightlies I've tried. (currently Feb. 17th), not matter which modem I use.

I want to use CM10.1 as my daily driver as it is and also has been my favorite ROM on all my android devices.

Thanks for all your efforts in making CM so great.

This is my battery experience with the 20130216 nightly.

Wifi on non stop, FB with notifications, IMO with GTalk i Skype online all the time, gapps with mail accounts etc...

I'm not into mobile gaming so there is no drain from that, but deep sleep, idling, and normal day to day usage have really improved with this build. Looks like I would get 24h with 4h of screen time without breaking a sweat. I can't really imagine needing more than that.

What the big problem with Camera?

Think more speak about it than exactly problem is...
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
the camera crashes when you use touch 2 focus with the flash enabled!

EDIT: For those that are in the know....

i've placed the ZDFI02 FW for my S3 into the appropriate folder and it didn't work. should the file i install in the root be the same on the cam? so if it's ZDFE02 on the camera should i installed the ZDFE02 into the root folder?
[Galaxy S III General] respider:
I have a very similar usage.

I don't save battery at all, I "just use it" and by the end of the day I'm with 40-60% and then I charge it again.

Don't need more than that and I have a very similar performance with stock rom as well.

edit: here my "awake" graph is wrong, but I noticed that Cm10.1 in my nexus 7 has this "bug" as well. Is this a known issue?
[Galaxy S III General] mzeshanhakeem:
You have to put SlimISP.bin in system/vendor/firmware folder and give the SlimISP.bin file permission then reboot. it should work.

SlimISP.bin files are attached (your firmware is ZD so replace ZD only)

I have all the symptoms of SDS but I am supposed to be safe from it, as I have an SDS proof kernel and recovery... I dont know why it freezes all the time and then I get boot loop..

Everytime i have to boot into recovery and then boot again. (even removing the battery doesnt help, keeps me in bootloop.. )

I am so fed up, i am thinking of downgrading the kernel and rom and get SDS.. hoping to get new phone, since i have warranty...
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
tried, didn't work. gonna give a factory reset a go after i back up my stuff :D
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
I remember reading a post where someone had just let their phone be when it had frozen, and after about 20 minutes it had "unfreezed" itself. There is speculation that it was the SDS fix in action, preventing the phone from dying completely. You could try that.

The downgrading thing might not work, as we still can't reproduce SDS at will!
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
nope, the factory reset didn't work....oh well back to being content and i am ok with that :D
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Have had this for half a day and I can already vouch for the fact that it works! After unplugging from the charger in the morning, my battery level was about 94%.

Good luck! And yes, I realised what you'd meant, but my point was that there's no guaranteed way to force SDS, hence you'd be indefinitely 'stuck' with 4.1.1 stock, in hopes of your phone dying 'sometime'.

If you plan to return to CM after a while, your device might just die then, if you're incredibly unlucky :D

I'm having problems with touch to focus when the flash is enabled.

When I take a picture the galaxy crashes and a blank image is saved.

This issue has been there for a while now.

Since everyone is messing with the cam firmware lately, let me ask this.

Will upgrading the cam firmware definitely fix the above issue completely?

If not, what benefits do I get from having the latest firmware?

I've seen the instructions on updating the cam firmware but it appears it only works on stock samsung firmware.

Tried to dial the code but it doesn't work on CM10.1.

I don't feel like going back to samsung firmware in order to upgrade my cam firmware if it isn't going to make it better.
