[Galaxy S III General] haydar100:
push them also to the omni version ! if you didnt do that already :P
[Galaxy S III General] XpLoDWilD:
It's planned when I get some time to look at ports :)
[Galaxy S III General] haydar100:
thanks !
[Galaxy S III General] B.drakkar:
I did Moster2 thing below and it seems working with some issues with the google vocal search engine that stops working.
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Then why didnt you eventually push it? Doesnt reall make sense to me, unless you already planned to leave back then or it wasnt working 100%
[Galaxy S III General] XpLoDWilD:
The code was hacky and needed some cleanup. But as I was focused on something else, I never took time to clean it and push it.
[Galaxy S III General] oae08:
We appreciate your work man it was really sad that you left cm, hope you can help fix this memory leak even after you left :)
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Its fixed now and omni can just pick this commit if necessary. Why bother with it when there is already a solution?
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
As far as i see it we just need camera improved(alot), will samsung 4.3 sources help with that ?
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Since they will most likely only release kernel source, I doubt it
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
Will that kernel source help with anything other ?
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
What's missing or incomplete or outdated in the Samdung sources is the userspace drivers, and that's basically where the problems are.
[Galaxy S III General] burton158:
Hi everyone.

Since the last nightly updates I been having some issues.

Had to uninstall last two updates cause made my phone very laggy.

And another issue is that it doesn't show any more "transfer call" (English translation from Llamada desviada) when I receive a phone call from my restaurant when I'm not there and I activate it. So I can know if its personal or its work. A couple of nightlys ago it use to work.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] Ryryoku:
No memory leak or bug that I notice. Good release, Thanks =)

20131028 nightly

Yes, I had a lot of issue with 20131027 release , but 28th seems to solve all those issues. Great job guys. Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] Milmar71:
is there no more problem whit battery drop after call?
[Galaxy S III General] joeb690:
In afraid I am still experiencing the memory leak issue on 20131028.

GT I9300, CM 10.2
[Galaxy S III General] Simonna:
Did you made a full wipe before updating it?

And I didn't experience any memory leak issue yet.
[Galaxy S III General] joeb690:
And by full wipe you mean?

GT I9300, CM 10.2
[Galaxy S III General] Simonna:
I mean wiping cache,factory reset and cleaning dalvik's cache.
[Galaxy S III General] joeb690:
That's what I thought but I haven't the time to reinstall all my apps etc. Will probably revert to an earlier nightly. Thanks.

GT I9300, CM 10.2
[Galaxy S III General] ThunderBolt_BR:
Memory Leak is gone!

Thanks Devs!
[Galaxy S III General] ajobbins:
Some on here are saying it's still there in the latest nightly
[Galaxy S III General] SpaceGooner:
I've been using the 28 Oct nightly for about 4 hours now and have not seen any sign of the memory leak related unstable behaviour that started on 26 Oct. If it stays like this then this could be the best nightly so far.

The only (very minor) issue I've noticed is when waking the phone, the home screen appears for a split second before the lock screen. But if I activate the CRT screen off animation, this problem goes away. So basically it's only a problem if you don't use the CRT off animation. It seems screen on and screen off behaviour are somehow interrelated.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
The memory leak won't be fixed until the fix is merged, and it's not merged yet, so all the reports of it being fixed are placebo.
[Galaxy S III General] ajobbins:
Has anyone tested voice dialling over bluetooth in the latest nightly?
[Galaxy S III General] fmlogin:
Strange, because since 5 hours ago I have at least 200mb free and no sign of memory leak.
[Galaxy S III General] SpaceGooner:
If the memory leak fix is this commit mentioned a few pages back:

"gralloc: Allow unmapping concurrent handles"

Then it is in the 28 Oct nightly. BBQlog and cm updater says it is, but CMXlog isn't showing it for some reason. Whatever is going on, this nightly it's running fine for me and RAM is consistently between 120 and 200 MB.
[Galaxy S III General] rjames123:
Memory leak is solved.. Yeppi !
[Galaxy S III General] scheichuwe:
CMXlog only shows changes that were merged in gerrit.

BBQlog also shows changes that were directly pushed to github.
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
It was merged in the 28th nightly already https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/a3a9aaa5bbf0a94f1039e3eda368fa8a28ddecf8

I saw in your signature that you have a modem XXEMG4, don't you have any problem with this version ? Is your modem still downgradable ?
[Galaxy S III General] Tilgi:
Same here, great! :)
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
No memory leak here eiter, im on 450-500 ram since i flashed it yday..
[Galaxy S III General] Blanketnam:
Camera Issues

So now that the memory leak is solved... (YAY!)

Any ideas about the camera? it works fine until I zoom. Once I've zoomed, I cant take any more pictures. Both the "take picture" button and the back button are unresponsive. Even if I zoom out again.

Any ideas!
[Galaxy S III General] shassino:
The universal solution with Nightlies just wait a few days mate :P
[Galaxy S III General] Blanketnam:
I actually have been waiting for about 2 weeks now... I've had this problem for a while :crying:
[Galaxy S III General] svetloslav:
Patience is a great virtue!
[Galaxy S III General] beeeto:
How do I know if have memory leaks?

Got 2 options, one to show only "apps" and other to show "apps, cache & other". With apps only I'm having 600+ free ram and with the second option between 150-200MB. Do I have memory leaks?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Typically, if the leak is there, you'll find you'll have 25-30MB of memory.
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Just go to Apps and then use the Tab "Running". This shows the used and free ram.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
I have no problems with the modem, and yes, I can still downgrade it. I have the ICS bootloader as well, so Triangle Away works 100%.
[Galaxy S III General] abihakim:
28/10/2013 nightly, Battery Life still poor. All perfect. But lose in geekbench against 10.1.3 stable cm. Lol
[Galaxy S III General] DennizzNL:
Clearing the gallery cache worked for me!
[Galaxy S III General] Ryryoku:
Any remarks for the release of 29/10 ?
[Galaxy S III General] BrunoAlkmim:
worth going out of TouchWiz for this? I used the 4.3, but I liked it because there were not many bugs, sorry for my horrible English
[Galaxy S III General] tontiv:
are you guys still experiencing battery drain after calls? i'm on stable 10.1 and it exists even then. you don't really notice it until you reboot, don't make a phone call, and leave it overnight..
[Galaxy S III General] basrawi:
Guys what's the best modem for this phone on AT&T?

Edit: running this ROM obviously
[Galaxy S III General] RohanAJoshi:
something for camera is coming, i hope this will solve the flash issue.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/b931db8c307db6b94fcc52ea3ff9adda5b8d9de4
[Galaxy S III General] Blanketnam:
Well that worked brilliantly! Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] DennizzNL:
No problem man, figured it out myself on the 28th nightly!
[Galaxy S III General] pmaximal:
I was on 1019 nightly and upgraded to 1029, now I lost data connectivity.

I can see E, 3G and H negotiating but no transfers. Any idea? Anyone experiencing this in the last week?

Please help!

----- UPDATE----

Trying to go back to my last backup, I get tons of "android.phone process has stopped" and settings crash like hell. Cleared cache and dalvik as always. No luck. I am really desperate by now..... :(
[Galaxy S III General] padraigdoran:
If you're using a custom kernel like Googy-max then get the latest version. There were some CM changes which made the existing versions incompatible.
[Galaxy S III General] pmaximal:
No custom kernel!
[Galaxy S III General] rjames123:
I too had this issue when i went back from 26 to 19th nightly . Only upgrading back to 26 solved . Except format of /data (since it was encrypted) , I tried all format including /system while downgrading

This confirms that we cannot downgrade beyond certain nightlies
[Galaxy S III General] padraigdoran:
Can anyone play Galaxy on Fire 2 HD with CM on the S3. It's way too laggy to play.
[Galaxy S III General] lba810701:
Hi!

In developer settings set the 4xMSSA on! It's helped me!
[Galaxy S III General] Dukester5k:
thank you! i had the same issue. this option however resolved it.
[Galaxy S III General] pmaximal:
You are right, had to go back to 1029 and now the crashes stopped, but again I am stuck with no mobile data.

The behavior is strange, if I put the phone in airplane mode and then leave this mode to reset all communications, I get a few seconds of good 3G signal and some actual data transfer, then its lost and the phone keeps negotiating 3G and 2G but no more data transfers.

[Galaxy S III General] rjames123:
Did you try selecting only 3G or only 2G . I use this way and do not see any issue.
[Galaxy S III General] clyder:
You need to setup a SIM card lock. Only then the SIM toolkit app will be available.
[Galaxy S III General] pmaximal:
I tried your suggestion since I am trying everything, but again, no 3G or 2G activity. Thanks anyway.
[Galaxy S III General] BrunoAlkmim:
The many changes in the related party camera, one of the reasons I would not be using the rom ... I hope ricardo can fix all or most of the bugs, cause the stock rom is very lag

Hey guys,

I've just rooted my S3 and about to install CM 10.2 as my first custom ROM. Could someone explain what the "GApps zip" is? What does that install along with the CM 10.2.zip??

I've read up on the EMEI FAQ and I have android 4.1.2 and my baseband version is 19300XXEMG4, could someone just confirm that the latest CM 10.2 will be compatible with my EMEI/Baseband and it should not mess with my EMEI?

Is it possible to install the two zip files using CWM ROM Manager?

Or is there a reason why booting into Recovery would be better?
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Yes, it will be fine. Wipe data, flash the ROM, then gapps.
[Galaxy S III General] Fajreas:
Yay!! I just received my i9300 today! :D:D

now im going to root, install a custom recovery and possibly CM10.2

Before i flash CM10.2, what are the current issues and bugs atm and also should i flash CM10.2 now or wait a few nightlies?
[Galaxy S III General] Milmar71:
stay on stock rom or eventually CM 10.1.3. (still not stable)
[Galaxy S III General] anlimdy22:
Where to find the developer setting? i can't find it:confused:
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Go to the about your phone information/settings and tap the build number 7 times
[Galaxy S III General] Milmar71:
You give to much credit to deveopers, afterall they are paid for their job. CM has become at least 5 mil $ .I would like to pay for the ROM ,but that everything works OK, even CM 10.1.3 ,which should be a stable ROM, isn't. Airplane mode doesn't work, camera sometimes won't work, and still some bugs ,but they are not such a big thing. But if you call it stable,it should be stable.
[Galaxy S III General] JHilderbrando:
Wrong in so many ways.
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
What does stable mean ? No Reboots , SoDs , massive FCs , reliable ? If yes then i can say that CM10.2 is stable .I had only 1 Reboot and that was way way back with first homemade builds....

What is the problem now ?Camera is buggy and sometimes "Cant connect to camera" and everything else falls into minot non interupting bugs.

And yeah i give credits to developers , developing rom on half closed device is hard as it gets.
[Galaxy S III General] lchiocca:
Is it just me or does a black screen actually appear grey? I thought that "black" would actually be pitch black (i.e. as if the screen was off). Did anybody else notice this?
[Galaxy S III General] less.haste:
What's the best/stable version of CM at the moment? I made a backup of my stock rock using CWM so is it fairly safe to use the nightly update or would you still reccomend going back to a stable CM release?
[Galaxy S III General] Milmar71:
CM 10.1.3. "stabil" best for now
[Galaxy S III General] Jamin_1:
Nighty of yesterday (2013/10/30) doesn't work good me at all.

I've had 2 soft reboots while I wasn't doing anything special.

Additionally every time I wake up my phone it takes so much longer than before for the screen to turn on (3 seconds). If it turns on I see first the running app (for example the launcher) and then the lockscreen appears.

Hopefully this get fixed soon.
[Galaxy S III General] Dukester5k:
sounds like the memory leak which is supposed to be already fixed. but i still have the same issue as you described.
[Galaxy S III General] simono_pl:
I'm on nightly from 20131028 without any reboot or freezes for 2 days and 17 hours - stable as it should be.
[Galaxy S III General] guerouig:
yes indeed! me too, no problem whatsoever in daily normal use.
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
This Camera is so annoying :( .

Sometimes after recording it just looses connection and displays "Cant connect to camera" or Sometimes when i record video and press the stop button it just freezes and does not save my recording and again displays "Cant connect to camera" ..

Beside this i find it almost perfect , although more magic by Ricardon for our exynos aint bad either :D

28th nightly.
[Galaxy S III General] android addicts:
Last time after I setup sim card lock, my phone locked (cm10.2 bug) and I have to use PUK code.
[Galaxy S III General] less.haste:
Just successfully flashed to CM 10.2 and think it's great. The only thing that's annnoying is when I swipe the top right hand screen down, I get "T-Mobile UK" as my carrier yet I'm actually on Orange/EE? I know they own T-Mobile but I'm on an Orange/EE contract.

Can anyone tell me if this is just a visual thing or will I have issues using this?
[Galaxy S III General] clyder:
Sorry to hear that. I haven't had any issues like that. My phone has a SIM code for as long as I switched to CM10.2 and I am flashing nightlies at least twice a week. I guess I skipped the buggy one.
[Galaxy S III General] android addicts:
Today I enabled the sim code and it working. I can see the sim toolkit. Thanks clyder.
[Galaxy S III General] scoobyjenkins:
That's totally normal and you should see the same on any rom or stock, its just showing you who's network you're using. I'm also on Orange and it shows EE, Orange or T-Mobile depending who's mast is giving me the strongest signal!

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Galaxy S III General] svetloslav:
Am I reading this thing correctly:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/52665/

It seems in the nightly of the 30st Jason removed on i9300 the one, or two weeks old fix to remedy, at least partially, the excessive battery drain after a call. I hope this is not one of those rushed removals of code without even checking why someone else introduced it to begin with. I am on the 29th nightly right now and it is working pretty darn good.
[Galaxy S III General] Ryryoku:
I just don't understand why the Galaxy SIII have a catastrophic RAM management, in stock ROM or even in CM (but obviously better in CM).

Even my S2 in JB stock ROM is more smooth because of the better RAM management. Where the matter come from ? Nobody an do something fr this, even dev from CM ?
[Galaxy S III General] Krumbiere:
Massive Problems on [I-9300 | S3]

Hello,

I am experiencing major problems such as lag, force closing of some apps (especially at TB really annoying). Sometimes my S3 even force reboots. :crying:

Also, all attempts to update the SU binary fail. (I think this would solve the force close problem of these apps.)

I don't know what to do. If I should go back to 10.1 or not.

What do you guys think?
[Galaxy S III General] simono_pl:
Do a full wipe. I don't have any problem that You described. I move from CM10.1 nightly to CM10.2 nightly without full wipe on when the first official CM10.2 nightly appeared. For now all works great and stable. Titanium Backup and other applications that using root working OK for me.
[Galaxy S III General] Krumbiere:
Hmm, I also came from CM10.1 without a full wipe. Do you think it would help doing a full wipe and then restore all my apps with TB?
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Absolutely yes, it is!

I'm guessing you haven't read the instructions for installation.

You MUST wipe when coming from 10.1 to 10.2 or from 10.2 to 10.1.
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
I've just purchased a Nexus 5 so bye bye dear Samsung, forever and never.
[Galaxy S III General] Krumbiere:
Look, what TB says, right before force closing itself.
[Galaxy S III General] simono_pl:
I have the same information for first time but ticket it to not show again and working TB OK.

CAN'T WAIT! Google is pushing the Android 4.4 Source to AOSP right now!

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/31/android-4-4-source-is-being-pushed-to-aosp-right-now/
[Galaxy S III General] amppen:
Awesome! I kind of missed 10.1 camera :good:
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Doesn't mean much if we don't get a device maintainer who's willing to work on it. Is Cody still onboard?

The thing I find interesting is that the lower memory requirements and talk of legacy support and unification, etc. sound promising, but it really will be meaningless if manufacturers don't put any effort into bringing legacy devices up to 4.4.

What's their incentive to do so? I don't see any at all, honestly.

Hope I'm wrong, but I still think that the Android platform will remain as fragmented as ever.

AS of this writing, less than 0.5 percent of all devices are running 4.3. What makes anyone think that this is going ot change magically just because Google pushes out source for 4.4?

Think Samsung is going to release 4.4 updates for the S2, S3? I doubt it.
[Galaxy S III General] Scarface1991:
Rebellos maintains the Omni ROM for the S3, so when they move to the 4.4 base, then we should get it too (if there won't be any huge difficulties because of Google's changes to the framework etc. )
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Well, there's a new JIT among other things. Looks like some exciting stuff. Samdung had "promised" (rumor) 4.3 in November for the S3. They'll stall on it and work on 4.4 until 4.5 (or 5.0) is released.

It's a shame, because the form factor of the S3 is about as good as it gets. If it were supported, I'd run it til it died, literally.
[Galaxy S III General] gbyrne2011:
Samsung better update for S3, it's still a great phone. I'll be honest if they don't that's the last Samsung phone I'll ever get.
[Galaxy S III General] Scarface1991:
Even if Samsung decides to do an 4.4 update for the S3 then it will take many months (we haven't even seen an official 4.3). So all my hope is on the guys from Omni rom or maybe if we get a new CM maintainer.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
They don't care. Have you not learned by observation, through simply owning Samdung devices thus far?

Like I said, what's their incentive to spend time, money on a 4.4 update for legacy hardware?

Less than zero.

Their position is the same as any other maker: IF you want new, buy new.
[Galaxy S III General] gbyrne2011:
I understand why they wouldn't, it's just sad that theres no more loyalty. But thank god for the gang behind Cyanogenmod.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Yeah, but again, we are still going to be plagued by a lack of userspace drivers, so the problems that have always plagued the device will continue to plague it. Yes, the team has done wonders with polishing the turd that Samdung left us, but they aren't going to change their mind on Exynos sources just because a new version of Android pops up.

It's time we deal with reality and just stop dreaming. I don't mean to be negative, but every time a new nightly pops up, folks flash it and start posting things like, "wow, it's all fixed!"

It's not, because the hacks and patches that the CM devs used are still going to be necessary in the future, because Samdung will not change. We've been down that road, like an abused spouse who keeps coming back for another black eye and a new (broken) promise.
[Galaxy S III General] Scarface1991:
Sure, stuff that's not working now due to proprietary limitations probably won't ever work unless someone back engineers this stuff like it was done with the camera hal by Paul K.
[Galaxy S III General] gbyrne2011:
Maybe it's time for an upgrade, lol. Maybe a Note 2 or Note 3, they should last a good while.
