Mine is really good. Havent had a problem with GPS with this phone, which was refreshing coming from the Fascinate which I dont think ever had working GPS on stock even lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
Thanks Masta. I'll check back this afternoon and let you know ASAP whether it helps. Out of curiosity - when did you get your phone, and which color/storage size do you have? I got mine on preorder - blue, 16gb. I wonder if there are hardware differences that went unversioned in the model.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Preorder.. pebble blue, 16GB
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
I was clearing data on all my location aware apps last night, must have done it like 3 times and suddenly the issue fixed itself. I'll see what it does over the course of the day today, but either way I'm interested in a build with those 2 commits reverted because i never had a problem before they were merged.

I'm looking forward to 10.2 but I have a feeling it's going to be another week or so before it's usable, but we'll see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
This might have been said already in the forum but if you are having issues locking on with GPS you can tighten your screws inside the phone and it will help 100%. I did about 1/4 turn on all my screws. I believe cause the antennae is attached to the case somehow and with it loose it takes longer.

Again this probably isn't gonna help with the weird location issue in the apps everyone is seeing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nbaj2k:
Yeah, I read that on a forum awhile back and didn't believe that mattered until I tried it, made a huge difference. (poor design)

But agreed, doesn't sound like that's the problem here.

-J
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
I had luck clearing stuff for a BIT. Then it got messed up again, within hours. I'm not sure I'm looking forward to 10.2 - there's nothing in 4.3 that I care about. Child-lock ? Pff. Bluetooth Smart? Pff. Probably won't work on our phones and it's only for certain devices. Dial-pad autocomplete? One does not simply "DIAL" a number anymore anyway. Notification access? Smart watches aren't really "there" yet. Open GL upgrade? Yeah.. That's what we need.

The wifi is the only nice thing, but again, not sure our phones will support it.

Nope. this is a coarse location problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
I'd be interested in seeing if the openGL will work. I'm fairly certain the GPU supports it. WIFI enhancement of any kind I'm a fan of. The dialing? agreed I might have to dial a number once every three to four months. Even then I can usually just find it online tap it and it dials for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
7/26 build in the OP

-- reverted http://review.cyanogenmod.org/45566 & http://review.cyanogenmod.org/45565 to maybe fix GPS issues??

-- repo sync @ 10:30 AM EST
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stearic:
I think we'll get Bluetooth le as we do have the hardware for it. Stock has it partially working so with the full feature aosp Bluetooth stack they should be able to get it working. I know I'm looking forward to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
OK, got. An issue that I can't find answer.

Switching back and forth between TW and CM10.1 (mastamoon's build, if course) my gallery can't find pictures I gave taken, and frankly, going thru my rooted file manager (ES something) I can't figure out what file they are in either.

Help would be appreciated, as they are picture of my son who just got hack from Afghanistan, so really need to be able to share, and after a couple of days, I realized I missed AOSP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
Do a search on your SD card. TW And AOSP store them in different places. Did you store them on an external card? TW gives that option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
Just took pictures, didn't change locations, and don't have an external card. I know it has to do with the O folder, vur can't find them. May have to go back to tw and move them around with the computer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funnyperson1:
Look in /data/media/DCIM whenever I switch between TW and AOSP I do the following:

From AOSP to TW (after installing TW ROM):

Move DCIM folder /storage/sdcard0/0 to /storage/sdcard0/

Fomr TW to AOSP (in AOSP):

Move DCIM folder from /data/media to /data/media/0

Usually there is already a DCIM folder in the destination, ES FIle explorer will merge the contents for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
Today's build is looking good so far with location services. I'll report back later if anything changes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
I thought I had the location thing fixed as well but it had me back in Pennsylvania today. I refreshed it and then it put in the proper location. Seems like it is hit or miss. I'll give this build a go, too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
Thanks; actually had to restore TW, and copied the file and pasted in a new folder. Had to do it on phone, but know how to fix in future

Still on 7/23, so my notification was for 7/24, not 7/26. Gonna install 7/24 and see what happens
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
That's not fixed for you? It should be notifying of the latest always. Hmm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
Flashed 7/24, and as soon as it booted was notified of 7/26 upgrade. So, maybe not working for me right, but still the best and fastest way to download nightlies
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hans5849:
I use handcent sms and when I get a pop-up message it unlocks the phone and keeps it unlocked. When I power it on it goes straight to the desktop, no lock screen. Once I clear the application from memory the lock screen works.

Is anyone experiencing something similar?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Sure that's not a feature of handcent?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
My location is broken on your 7/26 as well. I can try to provide a logcat, but I have so much noise that i'm not sure if it's capturing the right thing. Can anyone make a suggestion as to what calls i need to capture?

Chris - is yours still working? what specifically did you do ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hans5849:
I have to enter a password to access my desktop. Previously I could respond to a text and the pop-up would go away, recently after hitting reply I would be sent to the desktop. If I press the power button the screen will go black, when I turn it back on even after 5 minutes I will go straight to the desktop without having to enter the security password. When I hold the menu button and clear either the handcent application or the pop-up from memory the phone instantly locks.

Short: handcent sms pop-up permanently disables the security lock screen until the application is cleared from memory.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Dang. IDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hans5849:
Also if I press the X in the top right of the pop-up, the application is cleared and the lock screen works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
Sounds like a problem you should take up with Handcent ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
I used to use handcent also but found the built in sms better.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

Hey masta.....any word on 4.3 for our phones yet? I know its only been a day or so but has there been any discussion? Are you going to move to that once CM team starts dropping nightlies?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Yeah there is a build out there but currently boot loops on boot. But it compiles so it's moving along.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
Try clearing data for Google Services Framework, maps and any apps like GPS Status. Reboot and run GPS status so it downloads the AGPS stuff and then see what happens. Ever since I did that last night it's been OK, and today's build is ok for me so far as well. Went for a drive before and it updated my location properly. Also tried mobile network triangulization (GPS off) and that worked correctly as well.

I think those commits are responsible but there's some caching stuff that needs to be nuked to fully take care of it.

Edit: NVM, just happened again. Seems to be something radio related and it bones the AGPS data too.

Edit 2: I think it might be the new google maps, since google is based in San Jose and thats where it defaults to when the issue occurs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crobs808:
Is anyone else having time mismatch problems since 7/25? My clock app is always correct, but the time in the top-right of the screen goes in and out -3 hours throughout the day. It happened this morning and my alarm did not go off, even though the clock app said the right time. Screenshot below...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
Damn. I was hoping you'd cracked it. I already did all that. Just curious... Did you try clean install?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
Haven't tried a clean install yet, but I cleared data on location stuff again and it fixed, first time I did a data clear on today's build though. If it happens again I'm going to do a full wipe and see if that helps it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ef-civic:
Has anyone had problems updating from the play server after updating to 7-26? I did clear out Google Services Framework under apps and now I get a "Error retrieving information from server [RPC:S-5:SEC-0]".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
I can not say I have seen this at all. It could be part of the whole location/GPS issue. I hope 4.3 resolves this but from what I read and have read on here I haven't seen anything related to GPS for fixes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crobs808:
What kind of GPS problems have you all been having? I use navigation on pretty much a daily basis, and have not seen any changes in behavior.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
Privacy guard will tell your GPS apps that you are in another state or city with in your state. That part was figured out pretty quick. Some people still have a problem where Google Location Service still puts them in another state. I haven't had that issue once I turned off Privacy Guard on my GPS apps.

There have been a few members in here running CM that report they still have location issues. They think they found it and removed two comments that might have caused it and people are still having the issue. Chris thinks it could have something to do with the new Maps as it reports a lot of people there where Google is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverender326:
Basically in Nav apps like Waze and Maps your location is all wonky and weather apps have been reporting inaccurate locations. For instance eye in the sky thought I was in Jersey yesterday and I live in VA. I've flashed aokp m2, slim 7.5, and mast as night lies and they all do the same thing. When running maps it gets a GPS lock but my location on the map jumps around everywhere. Its weird and hard to explain but it makes navigation apps worthless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid0351:
Does this have the center clock mod
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
Not sure why you are posting this in all the CM10.1 threads. All of the variations from the official release are outlined in the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
And none of them have the center clock mod. if you search the forums you'll find out how to add it yourself.

anyway, wanted to report that I got today's OFFICIAL nightly and my location problem went away.... :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Weird. Hmm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nopi45:
Any one have a work around for playing videos taken with TW?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
How long has today's official been working for you? I've been good since I cleared data last night on mastas build from yesterday.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
What happens when you try playing a video taken with TW?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nopi45:
It has the box that says can't play this video. All my videos are doing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
I'm getting that too, but haven't used TW in forever. Man, I thought 7/26 was perfect. So close!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
Still on 1/16, everything works, but having data drop problems. Signal seems to waver between strong and none, while in same place. How are the newer builds?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Yeah that's "normal" unfortunately. Most of the RIL stuff has minimized the effects if this but still exists in some situations.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] M Diddy:
Interesting. I though the record volume was better, I could tell the difference from the CM10 days. It's still a tad low.

Is there a way it can be tweaked to increase it a bit more?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Was running 1/06 I think for a while. Switched to 1/17 and my gps sucks now. It lost my position while I was driving. I had no idea where I was lol. Also more radio drops with 1/17 than compared to 1/06.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] V3TTOO:
I assume you mean you fixed the size limitation on MMS.

And I need some clarification. I am reading that Invisablek and Mastamoon both tried the new BT commit that was suppose to fix it, but they have failed. I am also reading that the latest build fixed BT, but it doesn't say if it was the new Official M, Official nightly, or unofficial Invisa/Masta builds. Can someone help?

FYI, I am on 01/18 and BT works, but then when trying to reconnect it fails and turning BT off doesn't always work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
Did the signal strength fix that isn't being merged until tomorrow help our phones much? Any chance of you throwing up an unofficial?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Will put a build up tomorrow. Not @ work today :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
Any idea if it should help our phone signal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
Are you talking about the Exynos4 ones? If so, no those are not for us. You want to watch for qcom (Qualcomm) commits. We don't have the exynos processor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
This^
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kyuubi08:
Do you have any plans to compile this with linaro, and do any audio mods work such as acid
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I haven't found a tutorial or walk through to build with linaro but even then I haven't seen absolute proof that it has lived up to the hype. Not sure if its worth me trying to figure out, though I'm sure it would be good experience.

Not sure about acid working or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] atc3030:
If you need help with linaro. I have a lot of experience with it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Awesome.. I will pm you tomorrow or gtalk? If it can be done with out having to redo after every repo sync, I'm game :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sparkerjc:
Any plans for an unofficial monthly? I like the idea of the stability of it, but I am hesitant to go to the official because yours are working so well right now for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Idk, just pick a date and only upgrade to the next one after 30 days? Cm monthlies are nothing but a landmark, don't actually mean anything code wise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
I just have to say it again, this is the ONLY 4.2 that runs flawlessly on my phone. I've tried them all. Some won't boot up and have constant fc's.

sent from my blue police box flying through time!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sparkerjc:
Oh, I thought they left out some of the buggy stuff to have a more stable release. At least, that's what someone else told me. Anyway, no biggie.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] atc3030:
OK, I will warn you though, I may not reply right away. Long story short, I was in DC to march in the inaugural parade and we are just now leaving and it is a 10 hour drive from DC to oxford, Ohio, so I plan on sleeping tomorrow. Lol. If you pm or gtalk, I promise I will get back to you. Gtalk is austin.conn1@gmail.com
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] termleech:
The milestone releases are designed to be more stable than the nightlies. They only merge the stable things in for the monthly once they are happy with the stability of a device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
I don't know about video taken in a TW but I know 7/24 froze any video I was trying to play but the audio still played.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] damnyouwaffles:
YouTube website only plays 2 seconds of video and then the video ends for me on 7/26.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thefavorite:
For me, it would play then stop and then start again in 2 second chunks all the way through. I just flashed back to 7/19
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] damnyouwaffles:
Actually, I just noticed I can't watch videos at all. Including the ones on the device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hans5849:
I flashed back to 7/19 because of the gps problem. So far so good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
I just tested local videos and youtube videos on 7/26 and they work fine. There was a IOMMU kernel cherrypick the other day to fix the instagram video recording issue, and if you came from an earlier build you had to clear data on Media Storage and Gallery, reboot and then play a video in gallery and then everything would work as expected.

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

Clear data on Media Storage and Gallery and reboot, then try to play a video in gallery again, should work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
My YouTube does the same thing. Meh. Cm10.2 can't come fast enough! Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
It has something to do with the lil hd button in YouTube. Some videos play fine, some don't. If something isn't playing correctly, turn hd off and it plays fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
It might be one of my build.prop edits carried over from a stock TW build.prop.

Change

debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=3

To

#debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=3

Or just delete the line all together.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
10.2 might be a while for us yet, last I heard it was still boot looping :/

But it compiles lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
Any idea when the CM team is merging the new Focal Camera app from their project Nemesis? I'm pumped about it! It looks awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
Thanks! Worked. Still have my media because it was stored on my SD card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] damnyouwaffles:
If the beta works well, within this week most likely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sivarticus85:
I've read the last few pages regarding peeps having location/GPS issues. I've been running Chris's 7/24 build since he posted it, and mine has been working just fine. I looked around online for some information about why this could be happening, but i didn't have much luck. Here's a screenie of my GPS status I took just now sitting in my house.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
I actually ended up seeing the problem on that build, once I installed the build with the AGPS commits reverted and cleared data on my location apps, I haven't had the problem since. Fingers crossed but I think it might be one of those causing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sivarticus85:
Ah OK. Well that's certainly good news.

S/N, anxiously awaiting a 4.3 release!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Inous:
Any chance we'll be seeing cm 10.2 soon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
All of the nemesis stuff will be merged into CM 10.2 at some point.

Should be soon, once they get it booting on our phones it won't be long after that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
So on any build past 7/23 and I can not play video. Netflix is the biggest offender. I tried hulu and just any video. Audio keeps playing and video just stops.

oh and before someone ask I did clear my data from media and gallery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Try http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44043859&postcount=3789

Though this has been included in the builds for months so I dont know why it would change suddenly, but worth a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
i must be the lucky one; YouTube HD videos play with no problem, videos, (after i move them so i can see them) from my TW ROM play on AOSP, and except for the upper deck at Camden Yards (Go O'S) my GPS works great for aps to find me. i'm still a little off, but never use it for navigation.

now if i could just get the camera to focus better and faster, that would be a great improvement. Anyone use a second party camera app? was curious what was the best others were using.

:cyclops:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
It worked for like a day. Back to having the problem.

How's it going, still working for you?

Also guys, upgrades from Android never were known for their stability. I wouldn't hope that 4.3 magically fixes problems we're having. Instead, be prepared for a month or more of instability.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
Nope, Nope and Nope. Sorry. I edited it out and then removed it all together and cleared data each time.

****I can play around with the build.prop more later when I have time to open it and look through it. Though all I have for an editor is notepad on my pc. If there is something a bit better let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
Still working fine for me, ever since I data cleared all location aware apps on the agps revert build it's been fine, GPS as well as coarse location with GPS off both work as expected for the past 2 days so far.....knock wood.

Clear data on Media Storage and Gallery and reboot and see if videos play.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
Did that each time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Ive looked at the change log over and over and still cannot see anything that would cause GPS issues, besides those commits that I reverted, but don't believe they are actually breaking things either. The repos that those commits are in would 'break' gps for everybody if it were so. frameworks/base and hardware/libhardware are main repos for every device so I cant see how they wouldnt cause mass hysteria if they were causing an issue and would be quickly reverted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
In the other thread people are indicating that that 19 is a working build, so somewhere between 19 and 23 the problem must have arisen.

I don't know much about the location services, I confess, but I don't understand how clearing data for apps like maps (which isn't part of the framework, and not required for location functionality) is supposed to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hans5849:
What about the 0/99 fix? It seems the gps problems started right around when it was introduced to the main branch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MG386:
The 0/99 fix was definitely before the network location bug showed up. There were at least a few good builds with the 0/99 fix before location went wonky
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
Not necessarily, it could just be that our devices cannot correctly handle what they added, while other devices can, hence why others are not seeing the problem. Plus I noticed the issue only really crops up if you turn GPS off and let it use mobile/wifi to get location, hence it definitely being an agps problem.

Like I said, mine has been fine since i installed your build with those reverts the other day and cleared data on location stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
0/99 fix... merged by Steve Kondik at 7:46 PM on 7/20

It really shouldn't have anything even remotely to do with GPS though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
But are there people here that are using my build with the reverts and are also still having GPS issues? Or has nobody else followed suit?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
Everything's good here! (7/26)
