Re: [ROM][AOSP][LINARO] CarbonRom JB 4.2.1 [d2vzw] » Feb 6

The mediaserver task is your phone going through and cataloging all your media (audio, pictures, and video). It should stop after a while. Give it a day or two and you shouldn't see this anymore. Unless you do heavy media usage.

Camera inop

First let me say thanks to the devs for all your hard work! Truly is a great ROM...However...I have spent the last 4 hours rebooting, wiping, flashing, cussing, and pulling out my hair trying to get my camera to work. I tried 3 different mods including an app called HDR Camera on the market and all I get is "Cannot connect to camera. Reboot and try again" or something like it. Any ideas?

Same here :thumbup:

I uninstalled Hangouts. Not a fan of the general interface, then you add stuff like not being able to see if people are online/idle and the video chat bug and it's a definite deal breaker.

Maybe I'll try out future updates, but for now I'm happy to be back with Talk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sycobob:
Can anyone confirm whether or not AVRCP 1.3 works on 1.7? The latest info I could find is from February. I'm trying to get track info to display on my car stereo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buffal0b1ll:
Agree that friends online/offline status is bad in hangouts. Not a video chat fan so can't agree that is a deal breaker.

3 things make hangouts 100x better than talk for me.

-You can share to it from other apps

-you can copy text from a previous message

-You can attach photos

Google+ messenger is the same as talk or hangouts messaging. Check that out and see if you like it.

Talk was the worst app that I used every day on every platform ever. Hangouts merger with talk is way better. It's said that Google voice will merge into hangouts too in the future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
Good Lord! I hope they don't screw up Voice by rolling it into Hangouts. Not only do I not want to be forced to be social but Hangouts, thus far, is awful. It never seems to connect and there are obvious problems in addition to that. While the Voice app could use some improvements (multiple account log in & changing the Enter / Emoticon key to default to enter, or @ least give me that as an option, to name a couple...), @ least it functions.

I joined Google+ to get the new Hangouts app and made sure I went through every setting to make myself (for the most part) invisible. Soon, I'll be deleting my account entirely. Forcing me to be social makes me feel anything but...

So is there anyone running 1.7 anymore? Seems everyone is on nightlies.. been thinking about trying this rom out but I've sort of been waiting (due to data usage dl'ing) so not really into nightlies and it looked like some of you had camera/reboot/hot problems on 1.7

I run 1.7. Only issue so far is blue tooth oddities, which appears to be related to lean kernel. GPS works and screen flickering is gone, so I'm good for now.

I try to stick to stables. Much less aggravating!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WettbackMartyr:
I am on 1.7 and have been since its release. Running it with leankernel v5.9 due to the current Bluetooth issue with leankernel v6.0. I have been on this ROM with both a dirty flash from nightlies and a clean flash. Why you ask..... because I got bored. My name is Carlos and I'm a crack flasher. There I said it! The reason I got bored and decided to do a clean flash is that I have not had one single damn thing wrong with this ROM and I absolutely hate myself for loving it so much! Flash away my friend! You will not be disappointed! Amazing amazing ROM!

Just a piece of advice tho. Get yourself a GPS lock and maintain that lock before you go booting into recovery. That makes your chances all the more better that you will not run into any GPS problems when flashing and that applies to any ROM in my opinion.

Happy flashing and enjoy 1.7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sycobob:
1.7 here as well. Camera works fine except choosing external SD for storage makes the swipe through pics thing not work. No reboot issues, which I had on 1.6. I haven't noticed my phone get any warmer than normal, either, even during heavy usage. I'm on the included kernel.

Are there any external mirrors available for nightlies? Unfortunately goo.im appears to be having disk performance problems and I'm looking at 8 hours to complete the current download.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] glman1:
It's fixed in the 5/15 nightly and should be on the succeeding nightlies. My GPS is flawless, and with the KT747 kernel, I'm getting good battery life.

This doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Carbon, but I've been running Carbon for the last couple weeks. I thought I would try something else for a couple days. Booted into recovery and had some issues when wiping. I don't want to hijack this thread but I could REALLY use some help...quick! I made a thread in the Q and A I will link to below.

Is anyone else getting poor WiFi reception? I am literally one room away from my gateway router and can't even get one bar. Is this a ROM issue or kernel. I know AOSP roms have been known to have a little poor reception compared to tw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
For the GPS, make a nandroid of Carbon. Then restore a backup of a ROM that had working GPS. Get a GPS lock and, without turning GPS off, reboot back into recovery. Restore Carbon & reboot. Viola! GPS fixed. That seems to work for everyone. Since doing that three ROMs ago, I've not had a problem subsequent to that. PFM...

In re fuzzy... Try to disable HW Overlays. That seems to be the answer for everyone's wonky display issues. It does not last through a reboot so, if after rebooting you have an issue, just disable again. Worked for me.

Hope it helps!

Yes. I have definitely noticed this. Right now i'm at work, connected to a $500 AP about 8 feet away, and it's showing 2 of 4 bars. Doesn't seem to matter which radio/modem i'm running. I'm not sure if it's just reporting it wrong? Seems to operate okay.

No mirrors yet. Also I haven't had 1 FC. Did you clean flash it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nickjensz:
Thanks for the info on the Mirrors. Figured it was worth asking. I clean flashed, including a full format on data just to clean everything up. Not a big deal I guess at this point. It's a really cool feature and I can't wait for it to be fine tuned. I'll probably flash it again when I have some more time to mess around with it.

Try fixing permissions or doing a wipe. I went dirty from 5/05 to 5/28 and experienced the same and ended up just wiping and evrything works now.

I am using the halo build and am excited to use it. However, I cannot use the camera either on the camera app or any app that uses the camera. It says that the camera cannot be connected. I tried re-flashing with just the basics and still the same. Talked to some Carbon members in the IRC and no luck on a solution yet.

Is there a reason the OP hasn't been updated to reflect that it's 1.7 instead of 1.6 now? It's gotten to be difficult to easily see what the current version is on this ROM.

How it read to me on their G+ page was they had to individually add Halo to each version of carbon for each type of phone. And with Halo still being in alpha or beta working out its own bugs, I would imagine carbons devs don't want to deal with the bugs that are being created by Halo confused with what their trying to fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] knifedroid:
I've been running the Halo build since release with no issue. If you reboot with Halo running, you get the system ui crashes. Just turn Halo off (long press the circle and drag to trashcan) before rebooting and all works well.

The only problem I have with this version is apps blacklisted from halo don't stick through a reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
I guess that's what happened to me and I just didn't put two and two together. I did a full wipe and clean install of halo build and it's running great again.
