i'm on the 9/10 build and am debating upgrading - just wanted to get a quick idea on the state of the ROM at the moment... on 9/10 i've had great signal, great handoffs between 3G and LTE and very few random reboots (running leankernel) which were all issues i had faced in the past.

i have however noticed issues with instagram (if i try to post, it works until the final step where it posts a black square as the picture) and general bugginess with the camera (occasionally snapchat will say it cant access the camera, reboot required to fix). The kicker is that my battery life has recently taken a huge dump. I am only getting something like 12 hours with less than an hour of screen time. Last night it was attributed to "Phone" taking 75% of my battery usage..

it seems recently the issues with RIL are still out there and handoffs are questionable. I'm willing to take a risk just to check it out, but I was concerned because I remember reading about clearing some databases when updating earlier in the thread. Is this something I would still have to do, or was that related to a particular bug? thanks!

10/31 build in the OP

-- removed 2 of my cherrypicks for some build prop edits.. trying to sort them out

-- added cherrypick to kill some GPS logspam, see added 10/30 in the list

-- cherrypick 2:30PM EST

Happy Halloween! :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trikzal:
I was having these problems until I wiped cache, dalvik, formatted system. Then flash latest build and 8/20 gapps. I also started using different kernels to help with battery life if it really does drain badly. Try KT747s kernel, he started building again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HandsomeOne:
I have tried many 4.3 roms official and unofficial with my S3's and the only rom that has consistent data handoffs from any data form ie: wifi to any data 1x 3g 4g is cm-10.2-20131009-UNOFFICIAL-d2vzw-picks.zip at post #3042. I don't know what they did but it works all the time ?/

Just my 2 cents
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
What happens with your handoffs? Got any logcats? Kind of hard to fix something without some logs to show where it's going wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
It's amazing cuz I think thats the build with straight qcril before it got "improved" and/or "fixed".

Though I haven't had a problem really lately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
Actually, the picks build is the one that broke a bunch of things, which is why I'm surprised that one is working for him, it should be the other way around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Oh, shows you how good my ****ing memory is nowadays. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sivarticus85:
Update on my no LTE situation.

ODIN to stock did not restore LTE, PRL is still wrong and I have no idea how to fix it at this point. Dialing *228/*22891 etc. did not update it.

However, when I insert the same sim back in my Gnex, 4G comes up just fine.

I thought that was interesting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
nvrestore ?

EDIT: Only do that if you've done nvbackup previously.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] minnysota:
Hey, Masta. I know someone else asked, but could you give me a quick sentence about the state of your builds? I've been on 9/20 for a while and things have been pretty solid. Just trying to find out what improvements or stabilization have been made since then without reading hundreds of pages. It can be tough to keep up, especially with all the RIL talk. Thanks a ton!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
What's your PRL on the gnex? Maybe your EFS partition got screwed up somehow on the S3.

EDIT: Try this on the S3

ODIN root66.tar (ICS pre-rooted)

Open Phone app

type *2767*3855#

That will re-provision the phone, it also wipes the internal SD so make damn sure you back everything up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
If it is efs wouldn't his imei be gone ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
More than likely yes, which is why I'm suggesting he try the re-provision trick on root66
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goatman101:
For some reason, I am not able to play videos from the gallery. This is on today's build - clean flash. I tried the trick in the op which says keep trying to open a video until phone reboots, then videos will play fine but my phone will not reboot. All I get is a message stating gallery force closed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
:cool: lost my eri once, hell of a day that was figuring that one out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sivarticus85:
IMEI is intact. Like I said Gnex works just fine. PRL is the same. I'll try a re-provision and see what happens. Appreciate you guys' help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Try recording a new one then play that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goatman101:
Tried that too! No go.

Edit - just uninstalled the gallery via TB and rebooted. Then I installed the Google S4 camera from the themes and apps section and my videos work now. Weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trikzal:
Its your sim card. I was in the exact same situation as you so I called Verizon and ordered a new sim and that fixed it for me. Are you using the sim that came with the gnex or sgs3? I was using the gnex sim and i remember them saying that their new sim improved switching between phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sivarticus85:
SIM came with my S3. I've been having heat issues with it, so I've been using my backup Gnex in the interim. Should've left vzw when I had the chance, since the Nexus 5 announced today isn't coming to us. Hindsight is always 20/20. :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thekendog:
My phone died overnight while I was asleep. 37% in 8 hours. WTF. 4.3 has the worst freaking idle drain. Because it died, I have no stats from BBS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddggttff3:
That is not normal, you must have something keeping the phone from going into deep sleep
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cornelious1212:
I've been trying out the new Hangouts 2.0 and I have to say I like it. Only problem is I've been spoiled by mastas's MMS tweak for full resolution photos. Took me a while to figure out why all the photos I was getting looked like crap on the new app :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Atamagaokashii:
How did you get MMS to work? It just force closes when I try...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fromthesticks:
Mine worked fine out of the box. No issues. Sent multiple pics
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cornelious1212:
I put the apk in system/app and installed it from there. Didn't do anything special after that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fromthesticks:
I downloaded it to my SD and installed as any other app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Atamagaokashii:
Hmmm. I installed as a user app and I'm having issues. I'll try system...

Edit: it works after converting yo system. Problem solved.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
My MMS works fine

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

Are the issues in the first post still issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funnyperson1:
I've been experiencing random reboots, the most recent was when I was navigating with bluetooth on, screen just went black and the phone rebooted.

I'm going back to TW for now, but I've attached a last_kmsg in case it helps. This was on 10/31 build dirty flashed over 10/28.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
Did you remove anything from the kmsg ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cornelious1212:
Another update. On the 10/31 build, fresh install from 10.1. The LTE handoff is MUCH better for me. So good that I don't even catch it in 3G anymore after I walk out of the hospital anymore. You guys are doing great work.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funnyperson1:
Nope just cat /proc/last_kmsg >> /sdcard so I could download it through airdroid.

Granted I did this a couple hours after the reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
OK, looks like userland write errors .. The reason I asked if because I could not find "kernel panic" in the log

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funnyperson1:
Interesting, I'll try it with a clean flash next time. No idea why a user space problem would cause a reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
The reason it would is because if yo l user land can't write kernel instantly panics
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reborn627:
It seems that my blue tooth connection to ford sync is a bit wonky with the 11/1 build. It will connect initially but within a few seconds will disconnect and indicate a bluetooth share error. It will then connect and disconnect 2 or 3 more times before it ultimately stays connected. I did have a random reboot this morning but it seems that has only happened once. I'll post a logcat if I can figure out the best method to do so. Alogcat doesn't work for me however Logcat extreme does. What settings are best for recording and posting logcat I.e. Errors only...?

Peace,

Ray

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reborn627:
Great, thank you. Here is what I came up with this morning after another bluetooth failure. Hope this helps someone. I'm wiped and installed 11/4 clean. I'll find out if my bluetooth issue is solved in a couple hours when I get back to my car. It may be a phonebook download issue, corrupt file or something. I figure a clean flash should eliminate that.

Thank you,

Ray
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
If you haven't already I would also find where BT profiles are stored in your cars head unit and delete them to make sure you get a completely clean re pairing of the devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reborn627:
Yeah, that was the first thing that I did. I thought that a repair after factory reset in the car would do it but that failed as well. I'll keep you posted when I reconnect.

Peace,

Ray
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reborn627:
All is well now. After a full wipe of device and master restore in car bluetooth is back to normal. Seems there was something corrupt somewhere. Sorry to clutter up the thread.

wakelocks

on 11/04, and my data hasn't been the problem, but my NLPCollectorWakelock has been out the roof. any ideas on how to get rid of it?

also, what's "Genie" and how do i turn it off as well? Cant even find it, and it is listed as a news source
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mcdevil58:
Is this in reference to CM11?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
Yes I'm sure it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
NLP is network location provider.. usually this means some app is asking for your location a lot.. usual culprit is Google Now.. Open the Google Settings app, click location and make sure all the Location Reporting/Location History is turned off. Unless you rely on these then you just have to deal with it I guess. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CrustyMcLovin:
Genie is that old school "News & Weather" app/widget which has been around for a very very long time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
Great; but i don't use a news reader / app / widget, but it was eating the hell out of my battery the past two days. HOW do i turn it off, freeze it, or otherwise, stop letting it run wild though my battery?

:confused:

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

found another answer, for whoever may know more about this:

someone on one of the other boards suggested opening up google+ and then signing out. for some reason, if that has been on and not signed out, it will do the same thing.

seemed to work a little, don't have the massive battery drain on that. NOW if i can just get my screen down, may get this battery usage under control.

:cyclops:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Under Apps - All Apps you should be able to disable it/freeze it.. or use Titanium Backup like I do. Ive been freezing that widget forever.

:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CrustyMcLovin:
Open the app, go into settings -> refresh settings -> uncheck "auto-refresh"

Or just use titanium backup to freeze/uninstall/whatever.

Try turning off automatic brightness. I typically run my screen at 25% or so. I only have to turn it up if I'm outside or if the sunroof is open in my car and typically turn it all the way down in the evening.

I've found it helps reduce battery drain during screen on time.

I flashed 11/06 last night and launcher is broke. Very weird, I tried and re-flash, but still no launcher. Where are you older builds? Wanting to flash it. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I cant imagine if the launcher is broke in the build you would be the first to post about it. What exactly is happening?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sjpritch25:
It was very weird, everything work except the home screen was completely blank. I could scroll to other homepages, but no apps or icons visible. I had no problem with my settings and apps downloading to my device, but still nothing on homescreen. When, I press & hold the homescreen nothing. Like i said it was really weird. I guess, I can re-download it again and maybe it was a bad download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Stock Kernel?

Also might just want to wipe launcher data, will obviously have to redo your homescreens.

Did you try force closing/restarting Trebuchet from the apps settings menu? Or try wiping Trebuchet's data?

Side note, for several days I've had grey signal bars, even though I can access google play, gmail updates, etc. Any idea how to fix that? I've even deleted my google account from the phone and re-added it, no fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
you going to put your spin on CM11 when it comes out?

i've been going back and forth between an un-named TW and your CM10.2, and i just can't get into TW anymore. It will get fantastic battery life for a few days, and then it starts lagging and losing battery life. Keep up the good work!

:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
yes I will likely be doing my unofficial builds for CM11.0. I just hope things will go a bit more smoothly this time around vs CM10.2.

Wish I could sync up now and start building but my SSD HDD space limits me to 1 build at a time :)

What carrier did you go to?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrianAllred:
Straight Talk with their AT&T SIM. AT&T is *almost* just as good as Verizon in my area, except for the rural parts. Unlimited everything for $45, but LTE gets throttled once you hit 2.5GB. No big deal for me, I only usually use 1 to 1.5 gigs a month.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RED ZMAN:
That's what I did. AT&T is going to be more expensive for me, but my Nexus 5 is already on order. Going to try out their service for the test period, and if I like it enough, give the bird to Verizon until they fix their problems.

Going to have to look at Straight Talk, that's really a cool idea, didn't know about them. I've been high on data the last few months, just because I decided that since I've got unlimited, I should use it, but averaged 2.5 before that. Hell, even now I don't hit 5.

My wife works for T-Mobile at one of the call centers, and yeah, I went to Verizon even with the dirt cheap employees plans we got. The service (signal) is just horrid, not even great in the cities.

Masta, I'll still be watching, thanks for making the S3 such a great phone on a crappy service provider.

Man I know exactly how you guys feel. Verizon is awful. I think I may look into Straight Talk. After my ordeal with my sim going bad, I switched back to my Gnex and man, I forgot how much I love that phone. Dev support still goes on, and TI released updated GPU drivers for it after all this time, so hopefully a second wind will start blowing. Running kitkat on it right now and it's pretty nice.
