OTE=berryman13;45838206]He said upgrade to a new modem :confused:[/QUOTE]

Yes. But i already had the latest firmware 4.1.1 so I supposed I had the latest modem. Thats why iam asking If I Should flash an older módem
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
If memory serves me well.. 4.1.1 TW ROM were DLK3.... latest DMG2... so yeah you are BEHIND buddy boy.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] daes1988:
Thanks. Can you tell me If It Would be algo recomended to update my bootloader to the latest versión?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] berryman13:
Yes, DMG2 as bootloader and modem.

Btw, a new RC2 build was posted today.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
Just got done flashing the RC2 build, and I still have the funky line under my status bar :( I was hoping it would be fixed. Is there anything that would help for me to contribute regarding that?

I would stick with the LK3 modem and bootloader actually. Just because they're newer, doesn't always mean better.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] doctorbva:
On Sat morning, I installed RC2 and ended up having the same issue as several, where I can't pickup network/IMEI is blank, etc... I decided to ODIN back to stock ROM, reroot and come back, but I soft-bricked my phone :crying: No matter what I tried, it was still stuck on the Samsung logo screen and I couldn't get into recovery.

Finally, I ended up using Kies and going back to stock that way, rooted again and reinstalled the 2nd iteration of RC2 last night. No issues this time locking to network. The video playback issue persists, but I understand it's a CM2 issue.

Everything else seems to be working GREAT. One question: what happened to Voice+? I miss the toggle that allowed me to switch between the different dialing methods.

EDIT - Disregard the question: Found Voice+. I was looking in the wrong place. So really, only missing the video playback issue for this ROM to be PERFECT :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
If you get stuck on the Samsung screen in the future, all you've gotta do is wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] doctorbva:
Thanks, and agreed, with the condition that I am able to get into CWM Recovery. The issue that I ran into was that I could not get into recovery either. When I did Vol Up+Power+Home, it would tell me it's going into recovery and just go to a black screen. That's why I ended up using Kies. Besides, I had gone 2 days w/o a working phone (no time to sit down and try to figure it out), so, I just HAD to figure something out last night before starting with work week.

Hurgh.... I'm getting the godawful MMS issue where anytime I attempt to send one it just hangs at "sending..." Not sure if I can receive them either...

Was using the stock messaging app. Attempted using another app (Go SMS Pro), but that doesn't work either.

Does anyone know the latest fix for this...? I remember previously you had to download some old version of the messaging app but I wasnt sure if that was still a fix.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kinked:
I have run into this a couple times on multiple roms. Double check your APN, I usually delete all but the one I want, stop the message from sending, reboot and good to go

Can this be fixed by just doing a reboot of the device, or do you have to plug it back into USB and a computer, then reboot for it to fix itself?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
simply reboot the device with out ANY USB (including charging cable or USB cable) attached to the phone and you'll be fine.

Flashed 3.99 RC2, think I'm finally going to stick to PA this time around unless battery drains hard like it did in the past.

Using stock kernel with minor tweaks and greenify, going to report back with battery life after a day's use.

Noticing the white line under the status bar that people are reporting, I heard that changing workspace and lockscreen PPI and then changing it back gets rid of it but I don't know if it persists through reboots.

Noticing a wakelock with Calendar but I think I got it fixed. Thanks for keeping the builds updated Ayysir, I appreciate your work!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Apocalypse487:
Did anybody get stuck on reboot? It doesn't seem to pass the guy holding the sub.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
You have to just let it sit. First reboot takes a minute or two.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Apocalypse487:
I'm gonna try it at home. Too much of a hassle at work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sajoeee:
My favorite ROM to date. It was a little buggy on 3.99 RC1. But all the bugs I expierced have been fixed. I haven't had any problems. No FC or anything. Thanks PA Team. Only bug that I know is getting fixed is the Instagram Video FC and reboot when trying to make a video.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
Finally I got a reboot from heavy multasking ... but it happened while I was driving... so I don't know how "fresh" the last_kmsg is... here it is anyway.

I was trying to connect my bluetooth to my OBDII Sensor, but it was already conncted to my CAR (GROM). But they both can be connected together at the same time because I always had it like that. Anyway, all of the sudden it just rebooted... on it's own. OH while all this happening the phone is running CarHome Ultra, Waze, Voice to Text, Pandora, and maybe a few other programs in the background.

NOW! I can try to get you a logcat on the "non-responding Notification Bar"... How should I go about getting you a logcat? start a logcat when it starts to happen and then play around with the notification bar then end the logcat?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Apocalypse487:
So I waited for 15 minutes. And it's still sitting on that screen. I can't do anything when that happens. I have to format and reflash
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chirantan.f:
i know this is development thread, but i hope i can get some answers...

i was on CM 10.1.2 stable, and decided to try this rom, so installed RC2 and played around, but decided to go back to CM for now and come back to PA later on, i had taken nadroid backup (i am on latest TWRP recovery) so tried to restore that backup, it completed successfully but phone got stuck at boot, tried couple of times and thought may be going from 4.3 to 4.2.2 is not possible to tried going back to stock LK3 rom via ODIN, but even after ODIN says it restored phone completely, i still am stuck on Samsung GALAXY S III screen at the start, tried ODIN couple of times now, it completes successfully but phone doesnt boot.

any help greatly appreciated, thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Going to put **** head hat on...

You know this is a dev thread and yet you post anyway. That's like saying "I know I shouldn't **** on the floor but I'm going to anyway, and because I said I know I'm in the wrong it must be okay" ;)

Okay... Helpful hat time...

Sounds like you didn't write properly wipe before restoring your backup, or after using Odin. Boot into recovery, wipe cache dalvik and the phone will boot. When going from ROM to ROM or restoring a backup always do a proper wipe.

Any further questions should be searched or start a new thread.

I need a beer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sajoeee:
or in the q&a in your sig. :o
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Ehhhh grey area, that's q&a for the ROM, not how to flash things. Anyway now we're breaking our own rules! :D

The gapps download link is down it seems.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
Here is another random reboot. Originally I was working in Settings ->> Apps, then all the sudden it rebooted... then when it came back up, just when I was about to get the last_kmsg it rebooted AGAIN.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
Do a search for "paranoid gapps" and a post in the results will have a working link.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ayysir:
....im having no random reboots... honestly no one else is reporting it so....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
*shrug* I am just doing what you all have been saying... if I get crashes/reboots, I am going to report everyone of them.

would be great if someone tell me how to report my lagging status/notifcation bar as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
Take a logcat during. I have had no random reboots on the 9/21 RC2.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
9/22 here and literally zero reboots and I'm not getting the lagging notification bar either. Dude has gotta be doing something crazy, messed with something he shouldn't or didn't wipe at all before flashing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ayysir:
Day by day there's a new issue he has....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
Then acts like it's your fault his device is tweaking, I'm sure.

Anyway, about the battery life I should expect from your ROM. It's been substantially less than what CM had been giving me so far. I don't see anything too crazy in BBS, but I was getting 4.5 hours screen on over 15+ hours before and now I'm lucky to get 3 over 12. Is that pretty standard or do I need to change something?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Apocalypse487:
I used to get those. Once I flashed the latest version, I haven't had any. The only problem I had was on first reboot. It freezes on the kernel boot screen. It's not just this rom, but a couple others. 4.3 seems to add another external_sd folder in the root of the device. I don't know why. I tried a few other things like going back to the out of box settings and what not, but it still happens.

So I'll be staying on 3.69 until I figure out what to do. The occasional rom boot isn't a problem. It clears up in 5 seconds.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kaflex:
I just had my first reboot on the current release, no biggie. as it's only the first time, been solid so far

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
My results with CM or PA?

I flashed lean kernel this morning and it's draining a good bit slower than it was even on first cycle.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Andrew_han:
Getting no issues and great battery life on rc2, interactive governor 192 min 1512 max, stock kernel
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
My device was flashed to PA3+ since 3.96 that was formatted and factory restored.

at first I thought it was KToonz kernel, but I have since stop using it and only use the kernel that came with the ROM.

I don't know how anyone else uses their phone, but when I am in my car I multitask the **** out of the phone. (ie I have 6-7 apps running, carhome ultra, voice to text, waze, pandora, gravity screen pro, Torqe, etc...) if I force it work hard it will reboot. Never did that when I was on a TW 4.1.2 ROM (stability issues? memory leak... who knows)

My phone is the media center when it is in my car.... it monitors all my car senors, it delivers music/multimedia, phone calls and text. Now only if they had an app so I can change my fuel/ign map on the fly from my phone.... :D

If my phone just sits around it hardly ever reboots itself (a few phone calls, text here and there... check emails... whatsapp and maybe facebook) THAT it is pretty stable, until it hasn't been rebooted for 2-3 days then I get laggy notification bar/status bar... but most of the time I have to manually reboot anyways because I am adding or changing something or it rebooted itself in when I use it in the car.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
I use my phone in the car too. Fast charge, Bluetooth, Google Play Music, Pandora, phone calls, Tasker TTS reading my SMS messages, and even browsing reddit and XDA here and there, and I'm even harder on it when I'm not driving.

Even if you didn't do anything weird to your ROM, it could just be your device. Each device, contrary to what quality control would have you think, is unique. My first S3 WOULD NOT run KT747. Every now and then one slips through that is just a little different, and that isn't PA or ayysir's fault.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
\

Oh I never said it was his fault. But since it is his rom and thread I am just reporting what I am seeing. He can do whatever he wants with the information. That's all on him. I will keep reporting what I see on my end regardless.

AND I haven't talked about the Bluetooth because since RC2 they have fixed the Bluetooth...

You can use any modem made for your phone.

Are you thinking boot loader?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
I honestly thought the CM 10.1-2 levels I was getting were pretty standard for aosp ROMs, but I wasn't doing anything special really. Combed through settings and disabled or lowered things that drain battery. Data and wifi were always on. Hour or two of reddit a day, at least an hour of playing music on All Access, texting, etc.

Battery life has been pretty suspect so far with PA though. Dunno what's causing that or if the CM team was just that beast with their optimization. PA has been leaps and bounds more stable than CM had been after the jump to 4.3 though and that's really the only thing keeping me here for now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Yea its been pretty stable for me and performance isn't bad either. Hopefully battery gets better though.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
During night sleepy time.. my phone drops a 7-8% in about 8 hours.... so avg 1% per hour. This is with WIFI/Data is turned on every 2hrs for 2min for auto-sync using GreenPower Premium.

During the day, is all over the place... but the good thing is I haven't seen any crazy wakelocks with the ROM (aside from the msm_otg wakelock). So that is really good. Although I have GPS issues but I think they are related to couple of apps
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ayysir:
Battery is subjective
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sinner6975:
where is the mirror link in the op...all I see is the main link and wow is it slow
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] berryman13:
Well sure, whether or not 2 or 3 hours screen on time is alright is subjective, but I wouldn't say the numbers people are throwing out are. I would say my experiences with Quantum had better battery life but I have not been running PA long enough and have to let it go through some more charge cycles.

Today was a major bummer though, had like 9 hours total with 2 hours screen on using navigation and that was all my battery could handle. Running stock rom with 192-1512, interactive gov. and Greenify. Gonna play around with some settings a bit more to hopefully squeeze some more juice out of this ROM because I really like the PA experience and I really appreciate the work you put into building it for our device. :good: One thing I want to make clear is that I don't think there's a thing YOU could do to make the battery life better, it's mostly user-end.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sinner6975:
had to go back to my aokp....my phone wanted no part of pa from the start...clean install factory reset...cache wiped and dalvik boot up fine but had no signal...camera crashed as soon as I opened it...and market did the same...it also wasn't reading my sim card...I wiped cache and dalvik and used my backup and all was fine
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
But you didn't wipe system and format data...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sinner6975:
I did wipe system and format data
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sinner6975:
just tried it 2 more times and its the same...no signal and not reading my sim card...so idk what's up
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
So it would seem that something with the stock kernel for PA wasn't letting my phone deep sleep. After flashing lean kernel 8.1 deep sleep is now a thing again and battery life has improved tremendously. Probably only going to get about 2 hours screen on time, but that's over 27+ hours.

Definitely a huge fan of this ROM and the work ayysir's done on it.

I had v same on rc 1, I had to back up my efs folder. Flashed PAC man ROM. Then restored efs folder. Then flashed rc1 of this.. My serial number is different but imei stays the same and I get signal back.. Read up on the mg4 modem. Samsung changed the partitions where efs is stored.

Did you flash the PA gapps package? Most of your troubles (minus the sim card not reading) sound like you didn't flash the correct one. Search for "paranoid gapps" on XDA and they're somewhere in this thread. Should be from 9/17 if I'm recalling correctly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Might have been beneficial to include that in your first post. I agree with above it sounds like a gapps issue. Task requires everyone on his room to use his gapps and the pa gapps are different.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sinner6975:
yep that's the gapps I have ...got them from the OP ...pa gapps full 4.3

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
Quick question for everyone using the ROM. If you do a LONG HOLD Home (brings up the Task Manager) is it instant? or it's laggy? or it "feels" like a while before it shows up?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
Instant as can be once it hits the threshold for a long press.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vstanec3:
Ok a couple of this

1) This ROM is GREAT!!!

2) I figured out the Visual Voicemail Issue - If the ATT Visual Voice Mail App is active in the background it can sometimes make the audio during a phone call sound metallic. Shut it down during a call and the metallic sound went away

3) Still occasionally dropping and reconnecting the HSB-700 Blue tooth but it is much less frequent.

The phone reboots a few times, even after clean flashes. Video apps like Snapchat don't work when trying to take videos or pictures; Instagram and Vine have trouble loading videos a few times. You end up having to restart the phone, otherwise either the audio does not play or the video doesn't load fully.

Another big issue is that there are some videos on my phone I cannot play that I've previously recorded on the S3rx ROM. Switching from 4.1 to 4.3 shouldn't be an issue in regards to playing videos.
