Flashed lk 5.9exp on a 4/25 nightly build last night and screen rotation got wonky. 0 and 180 worked fine. But 90 and 270 were both upside down.

This morning I clean flashed 5/15 nightly (nothing in the changelog for 5/15, 5/16, 5/17 :( )and lk 5.9exp and the same thing happened. Reverted to lk 5.7.2 stable and that fixed the problem.

Was getting some screen flicker at stock voltages in Google Maps so I disabled HW overlays;(

BTW I made sure I had a good GPS lock in my old ROM while booting into recovery for the clean flash. GPS locks right away now and in a nice and tight point on Maps;) Fitness App (Garmin Fit) worked flawlessly. In a side-by-side test with a Garmin Edge 205 on this beautiful Bike To Work Day I came up with exactly the same distance covered;)

Also had my first regular old random reboot since installing the AIO modem. It rebooted while uninstalling Black Dropbox (inverted) from Nova shortcut long-press-menu Uninstall. I must say though, that I got tons of random reboots before installing AIO. Usually happened whenever I uninstalled and/or upgraded apps. Since installing AIO I've upgraded dozens of apps and uninstalled at least 6 or 7 other apps with no RR;)

running v1.7 stock kernel. WOW! i had been on clean rom for months for stability. wanted to give 4.2.2 a try and gave Carbon a go. Amazing rom. rock solid so far and seems much faster than TW. NICE WORK!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rossida:
here is what i get with the screenshots. maybe im doing something wrong but i can no longer get the "system icons" option to popup anymore. all i get is the options of gallery and file mangers like the ss below
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
I'm not on carbon atm, so tough to fully test, but it really should be the same as this: choose slider target app, press the icon and choose system icon. If not, it must no longer be an option in carbon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rossida:
i don get that option anymore ever since carbon switch to i think the aokp lockscreen setup. all i can do is choose custom icon but doesnt give the system icons anymore :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krbernier:
only complaint i have so far is keyboard lag.

GPS ISSUE: I have never had a GPS problem with any of the Carbon versions until today. I'm on 1.7 and used Google Maps app the other day and now today it can't pinpoint me and if it does it loses me right away.

Has this happened to anyone else and is the only fix installing a TW ROM as was suggested last week I believe?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
1.7 was the first time ive ever had an issue w gps too. That solution worked for me. I flashed cleanrom, got a lock, wiped and reflashed carbon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fatmaninc:
that actually worked? cause i have the same problem and i installed cleanrom and got the gps lock then restored the carbon back up. i didnt do wipe and reflash it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
Yeah. It's a pain to do but it worked. I have NO idea why (especially following it up with a wipe)....but it does.

Nandroid to a good ROM that was working with GPS before resorting to flashing touch wiz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
Worked for me. I could not, with ANY amount of playing with different apps, downloading AGPS data, etc, get a GPS lock. When I followed the advice to switch over to another ROM that GPS worked on, get a lock & reflash to AOSP, GPS got a lock in no time. As a matter of fact, GPS is faster than I've ever seen. I used to get somewhere between 5-7 sats to get a fix on - now it's routinely 20 or so and I lock in a matter of seconds, not the 30+ that I used to.

I don't use GPS often but when I do, I need it. Using is means I'm lost or about to be...

I took a week or so away from Carbon after having issues with 1.7 (GPS, camera, reboots, hot battery, short battery). Ive read through and tried to catch up but there isnt a nightly that seems to stand out right now. Any suggesstions as to the most stable (post 1.7) version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pocii29:
I'm going to have to try this flashing tw for Gps.. My question is did you guys just create a nandroid and then after the wipe just booted that up? Or did you have to re flash the rom entirely?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
I just re-flashed entirely. I wasn't sure how the GPS data was getting stored/lost so I didn't want to take any chances (and wanted to make sure I didn't give it any excuse not to work). Nandroids may work, I was just so sick of having issues at that point I wanted to do something s definitive as I could.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
I just created a nandroid b/u of the ROM I was having GPS issues with. Then I flashed a nandroid of a trouble free GPS ROM, got a lock, went back to CWM & flashed my nandroid of the "troublesome" ROM and viola! all is good. I did this 3 weeks ago and have had zero trouble since and have subsequently flashed both LS and SB with clean flashes and no issues entirety.

As a matter of fact, since this fix, I have better GPS than ever before. Used to take 30 seconds or so to get a fix on the 4-8 satellites - now it takes under 5 seconds to get a fix with (usually) 20+ satellites. I don't know what weird voodoo this fix does but it's an amazing change. And, it took me all of 5 mins with my 4 y/o daughter asking (constantly) "Daddy what...? Daddy who...? Daddy where...? Daddy when...? Daddy why...?" OMG! Is there an off switch...?

GPS works great for me on 1.7 , locks fast and is accurate since I use it with RunKeeper... wonder why some people are having issues. I had the same thing happen to me on other ROMs though, totally broken GPS, i dont know why so many roms have gps issues...

Anybody running current nightlies anymore? Most people seem to be on 1.7. 1.7 didn't work well with my device very well. I'm looking for a stable nightly to run but there doesn't seem to be much discussion anymore on nightlies

---------- Post added at 02:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 AM ----------

This thread seems to be really slow, are people using another site to discuss this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
GPS

Camera Storage switching back and forth between ExtSD and Camera for some reason

Poor battery life (as compared to other Carbons regardless of Kernel)

Phone heating up

Reboots occasionally

flickering occasionally

Maybe there is something wrong with my phone, I don't know. No one else seemed to have the camera issue, and most were very happy with the battery.

Are you running the stock kernel?

I've been wondering the same thing, It's been this way a while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dspcap:
I am running stock kernel and I didn't flash AIO....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
Running stock kernel without any tweaks. IMO, "tweaks" seem to do more harm than good. I certainly never, on any ROM or phone, have seen any improvement other than what I associate with a placebo effect with tweaks but I've seen tremendous issues. While not calling anyone out on it, I've begun to believe that many of the issues I see people having are, more than likely, associated with the tweaks they've installed.

Not worth it for me. This phone is blazing fast & tweaking it just seems to add to people's issues without adding any noticeable speed or stability.

Just my $0.02 worth...

"You live & you learn. Or you don't live long..." - LL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pocii29:
I think people are mostly on the google+ page.

I've noticed an increase in battery by doing kernel tweaks personally. But I've stepped up to a zero lemon and don't think twice about battery life.

Carbonized galaxy S3 powered by 7000 lemons
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buffal0b1ll:
Was it hard for you to adjust to the new shape and extra weight of the zero lemon?

My kernel undervolting helps battery life but only by a couple of hours.

I think I want the lemon because whenever I go to poor signal areas the battery dies faster than you can say "charge me"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dspcap:
I tried the zero lemon battery and I started having signal issues.... but I think it was just my phone.

I have the anker battery with seidio back cover and I get between two and three days of battery life, depending on usage.

I followed the steps, got a GPS working again, then I was going the do a clean install of 1.7 but couldn't find the zip to flash on my phone. So I reflashed my backup and now GPS is still working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jake044:
When I flash this, I still can't find my pictures and other files in my internal storage. I checked the 0 folder and everywhere in between and still can't find them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pocii29:
I thought about all those things. I figured 30 bucks and the warranty was enough for me to give it a shot. Honestly. I love it. Before the phone felt very fragile and flimsy to me. But now it has a very nice balance to it. Only way I could describe it is the weight of a balanced porcelain coffee mug. I used to get about 16 to 20 hours depending on usage with the normal battery and under volting. But I hated that everyday I felt like I had to ration myself especially if I would go to low signal of run navigation. Now I don't think twice because I will never run out of battery in a day. Give it a try. I think you will like it

For signal changes with the case. I have had suspicions. But all the weird Gps and screw tightening voodoo this phone has I just kinda stopped thinking about it. I might just be going crazy...

As for those getting heat issues. Try executing the stop mpdecision and cpu sleeper to keep the phone in single core states when doing low priority tasks. Also look into running a peg/zen setup. It's one of my favorites as its always forcing the phone in the lowest required cpu state

3 random reboots today. Most I've had since clean flashing this 5/15 nightly. One first thing in the morning when fumbling around the snooze time settings for the alarm clock. Two while screwing around with Flipboard settings.

Upgraded from lk 5.7.2 stable to 6.0 stable to see if that would help out. So far the upgrade has prevented the screen flicker I got in Swype keyboard. Yay, no more disabling hardware overlay every reboot!

Despite any thing I say.....

Carbon is still the best!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev. Voodoo:
From the Carbon Goog+ page ...

I was one of them that had immediate problems. Couldn't get my phone to fully boot, continual com.android.phone (or something, I didn't write it down) errors. I rolled back with my nandroid, got everything all backup up nice and good, and did a full wipe.

All is well now on the 5/21 dated nightly. I haven't had it running long enough to speak to it's behaviour yet. I'm just worried ... I kept dirty flashing because I never had any of the problems anyone has mentioned on here. I hope they don't start now - I've really enjoyed the ROM thus far!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
Yeah this is because they made a change to allow you to set different notifications for your contacts. I got the same FC, currently I am in the process of doing a clean flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buffal0b1ll:
So how is the contact specific notification working? How is it different than setting up a ringtone for specific contact? I already do that.

What app notifications does it affect? SMS, hangouts, something else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
I havn't tried it yet but I would assume you could setup a different SMS notification for contacts, seperate from ringtones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:

Fairly recent? On the 5/21 and 5/23 dated nightlies, I've had a heck of a time connecting my BT headphones. I use 'em every morning and have been fine until 5/21. I have to unpair, repair, reboot and then I can get a connection. I dirtied up until the 5/21 which was installed on a clean flash - so there are a variety of things that could be to blame for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Trumps:
Yup. It porked my phone over pretty hard and I had become complacent in dirty flashing and not backing up first.

Was this something Cyanogen added, or Carbon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
I am running the 1.7 really it was a very odd reboot that happened today . It was not really a reboot it was the Bluetooth disconnecting the call never getting lost and the carbon splash screen appearing on the phone. all this time I never lost the call and then the phone came to lock screen and I was still connected again via Bluetooth . Since that, the Bluetooth is not working in regards to things such as an incoming call it does not beep in my ear and ask me to say " answer " to answer. I'm sure once I reboot it will.

I'm getting the same kind of thing, seems like battery stats are a little odd in 4.2 ROMs, some people get the mediaserver showing like that, others have Google services taking up more than the screen, but from the reports I've seen nobody has actually been getting noticeably lower battery life because of it.

Have LED notification disabled, vibration only used for incoming calls, texts, no autosync, use an app called fast reboot to clear RAM periodically, dark screens on GOSMS, capacitive button lights disabled.

Also running the latest radio, the extra camera, enable silent camera, DSP manager, flashed all at the same time as the ROM, and after flashing GAPPS. After that, used battery calibration app to calibrate.

Use ADW-EX launcher

Oh, and after everything was up an running, and before restoring SMS/MMS, I did a battery and sim card pull (90 seconds).

Have about 10-12 apps that i don't use frozen in TIBU.

Hope this helps.
