All I can think is that if the voltage is right on the lower limit, then some devices with slightly less tolerance might be freezing when others are OK. Just like some chips overclock harder than others.

Can someone who has fixed the problem by installing a different kernel please let me know what their voltage settings are?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] auralzx:
I really have to commend the developer of this ROM, its the smoothest ever with the new Mali blobs from codeworkx. It feels like I have a completely new phone!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giro8888:
this could be a kernel thing and i think thats where the problem (freezing) is coming from as your default voltage is not compatible with the chip (wild guess?).yank555 is very good on this matter. i suggest them to use his kernel as they can optimise settings in aroma or even siyah.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pyromatic18:
How would I access the voltage settings? All I know is that devil kernel solved the issues for me.

Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I just said. I think maybe it's at the limit, so thats why it's onyl causing problems for some people.

my Bluetooth won't connect at all to my headset. Haven't tried by Hans free thing in the car yet. I will soon.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giro8888:
i guess these guys used to overclock their devices thats why the chip got used to higher limits.:laugh: well in some cases this somehow happens i think..:rolleyes:

i just thought you switch off your device.. Lol
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
That's totally plausible too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giro8888:
thats why i'm not with custom kernel anymore! sometimes my phone heats up even on standby mode..i think my device's chip and you are meant for each other! :laugh: Lol

I found out the bluetooth and wifi doesnt work. Can anyone explain to me whats wrong?

Just installed the ROM,looks great so far,but one thing im missing is the power menu options,like when i wanna reboot i can choose to go to recovery or download etc,is there any way to do that?thx

one other thing,how can i install those themes for CM?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Search the thread.....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarmacmaster:
Well I could try to use the devil kernel with the ROM to check if it's still freezing and go back to a normal ROM ...

But what is the XXEMB5 firmware they are talking about ? I'm a bit curious about that because it could be a quick way to solve the issue too.

I do not think this is related to the default voltage, assuming my phone also freezes with the nandroid backup I had done of my stock ROM !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] katolo:
Is the battery drain higher when screen is on with this rom compared to stock? Caused to me this seems to be the case.

But while the phone is on standby/screen off the drain is almost nothing.

Other than the drain while screen on this is the most fluid and smooth rom I have tested till this day, and that is both stock and CM roms.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] slayersparty:
noob question but how can i have the weather prevision on the main screen, like on the screen of the rom on first page :3 ?

Hey fellow Sentinels.

Got sick of not being able to read my text as I was composing a long text, so I modified the Mms.apk and changed the no. of lines viewed from 3 to 8.

Now I can read what I'm typing more easily on long messages.

If you're interested....

Hey guys!

Just recently installed this rom and I have to say I never experienced something as smooth ever before! ;) Amazing!

I just got one little issue that I don't even know if its related to the rom.

I realised yesterday that gmapps does not come installed as default and therefore went to te app store and downloaded it.

As usual I had all location settings turned off. I only activate them if I'm about to use mapps.

However since then gmapps is running 100% of the time in background! I hafe no clue why as this never happend before on any other rom. It also shoes in akku stats as the primary source of battery drain, where it also states that gps is on 100% of time, which it is not!

Is there any solution to this problem? I know it might not be related to the rom but its the first time it happend (after changing to thid rom).

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] juancarlos0208:
how much screen time are you getting? by the way... EXCELLENT ROM SENTINEL! first aosp rom i try for the s3 with good battery life!

Don't forget to check if and how your mobile carrier supports fast dormancy. Vodafone in Australia completely support it and better battery life can be achieved be leaving it enabled :)

I've just posted up a thread for anyone interested in testing the i9305 version.

I have a question buddy? Sorry if it's inappropriate but will this rom ever be ported to the S4? The i9500 i mean? Cheers, and loving this rom great job.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Anything is possible, but I dont want to support too many devices, or I'll not be able to offer the personalised user support I can now with the current user base.

I work full time in addition to doing SentinelROM. SentinelROM is a hobby for me, so I don't want it to get out of control!

I'm sure you understand!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2727alex2727:
Completely mate! We all gotta get paid! One last thing is there a flashable zip of the kernel included? Id love to test this rom with other ones but yours I've found is the most stable.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
I haven't got a flash-able ZIP containing just the kernel, sorry.

3g network very slow

Hi sentinel, I've got only issue here when I flashed your ROM.3g seems to be very slow.and in the network mode,which am I gonna use?it only show on the signal meter G and its supposed to be 3g+ or H+ right? Could u pls help me here? BTW no Fc and lags...rom is great except for the 3g signal.thank you
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Have you configured your APN settings under 'Settings - More - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names'?

If so, I'm really not sure. One other person had a problem with mobile data, but I've had over 500 downloads now and no-one else has mentioned an issue.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MauroG:
Well, 24h+ with ROM and not a single FC yet, pretty amazing, its like a tanker with battery with my hard usage... But just wondering...

What are the odds to get even better battery? And does this ROM support any flashable sound MOD? Or something? DSP is there but lacks of more useful things and BT doesn't work and that's what I use in my car... Any suggestion?

GREEEEAT ROM! :D:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
battery life really depends on how you use it. theres not much mroe I can do to improve it as far as I can tell.

The only other thing you could do is use a different kernel and underclock/undervolt.

as for Bluetooth not working, thats the first I've heard of it. No-one else has reported any issues with Bluetooth and it was working fine during beta testing.

On other devices, people have had issues with bluetooth when they have not done a completely fresh install from system wipe and factory reset. so that's really all I can suggest.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giro8888:
Yeah its been configured already and just found another issue.my contacts are missing.everything..:(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
your contacts are missing everything? Be more specific please.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giro8888:
Regarding the 3g signal thing,its OK now.I just solved the problem.its very fast.its just phone contact numbers are missing..do u where these numbers go?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Glad you got the data working. Regarding your contacts, did you back up your data partition when you flashed my ROM? OR back up your contacts with Titanium?

if you wiped without backing up, you may have deleted them all. Do you sync with google? thats the best way to manage contacts for people who use custom ROMs.

Good luck.

I have to go out now but I'll be back later on to see how you went.

Loving this ROM after 24 hours use. One last CM noob question though....

Is there anyway to disable the hardware buttons lighting up on screen press?

If wanting extreme battery life then being able to disable this would be helpful.

Thanks again for a great ROM
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Did you follow the correct installation instructions as listed in the OP, and on the Website?

Did you install the proper GAPPS package?

It sounds like you may need to start over.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] userguy:
Yes, thats exactly the way i did it.. As i came from another rom... Also everythibg else is running perfectly fine. No issues whatsoever.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thats really strange then. Maybe there is a bug in the new version of google Maps. I can't get my devices to do the same thing though.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] userguy:
Starting to think i might have picked the wrong gapps installation package.. As i now see that i have an old one lying on my sd card.

I will try to reinstall using the right version (not sure though if i really picked the wrong one..).

Can i sjmply flash the right version without a factory reset?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Always best to do a complete reinstall to minimize possibility of issues.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cajunaggie87:
I've been having the same issue. I did some searching and I found something that I am trying, and I suggest you try as well.

Settings > Google > Maps & Latitude - all off

It looks like Maps and Latitude was collecting my location all the time, even while maps was closed. It was collecting my location history (which I don't care about). I turned this off. I think it should help, but I don't know yet.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] userguy:
Thanks for pointing that out!

But I always turn off these features right from the start, as to me they seem useless and drain lots of battery..

Assuming you flashed the correct GAPPS package....

A lot of people seem to be having issues with play store today. Maybe flash another ROm and see if you have the same problem and report back?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] guastucci:
Sentinel, I became a huge fan of your ROM, it is perfect, fast and stable, really, really better them original CM. And it is great because not to many options and "junks" like Slim or Temasek (both are great ROM too, long time here using Slim and Tema). Actualy I am not using your kernel only because zram support. Any plans to add Zram to the kernel? Thank´s a lot for this great LINARO based ROM...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
No plans at this stage but it's possible in the future.

Thanks for the feedback.

Other than that,the ROM is amazing fast and stable!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
It's just the updates that CM have made to camera. They're claiming better compatibility so far. It looks to be closer to the stock Nexus 4 camera.

well,thats Good!thx bro!

Dunno if anyone comented,but,netflix from the appstore dont work,only the 1.8.1 apk...since i didnt use any other build of CM on the GS3,dunno if worked or not b4!

You and your frequent and ever more appealing updates are making life pretty hard (in a 1st world problems kind of way).

Just got settled into the 4.2.2 sammy leak and BAM! new sentinel rom on the way...and I already know it'll be better than anything else. ...*sigh*
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
You may need to modify the build.prop file to get NetFlix to work. it's probably got something to do with the region it's detecting, or DRM.

I did a completely clean install (data, system, cache, Dalvik) yet I'm getting high battery drain (3% per hour overnight) and BetterBatteryStats isn't showing anything unusual. I wasn't getting this on 4.40, so I'd like to go back to try 4.40 again. But I can't find the download for it. The website only lists the latest versions.

Could you please post a link to 4.40?

Anybody noticed graphics glitches?? when pulling down notification bar? sometimes specially on white. or some times pulling it up?? small boxes like glitch show up when blurr gone or came when the notification bar came down & up?? Is it my kernel issue?? Im using temasek linaro kernel. Everything else is working fine.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bong0x00:
it will be fixed on the next update due to new Mali drivers.. and still Default kernel is the best one to use..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] noobSU:
Im using that one because it let me UC/UV. If those graphics glitches is not an issue for me only & will be resolved. then the kernel im using right now is perfect for my needs :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bong0x00:
then try the next update with the kernel you are using..

in my opinion, there is no sense buying a quad core phone with high CPU speed if your gonna underclock it...

If you want it, you'll have to use a different kernel.

it happens occasionally and i still couldn't find the way to reproduce it. :o

That's a known issue. it's because Samsung haven't released the proper drivers. However the device will still charge properly.it's just the LED can be a little buggy at times.

I dont know if its me or the rom.. but my led doesnt flash anymore if i have a new message or notification or some.
