Format internal, doesn't that remove all gallery photos, apps and even the ROM AND GAAPS that are on it (KERNAL TOO)? D: And what do you mean by external?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xXshur1kenXx:
Kor i walked him through it all. Maybe he should Odin to stock root and update everything from there?

He means your external SD card
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ultimategamer_:
The only thing we didn't do is format internal, but that was because I have my gaaps, rom and kernel on it? I think the internal is causing the problem though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
I agree, I'd back everything up and Odin.

Start from scratch. If it was more than one person complaining it'd be more serious.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spongdangly:
I've been using AdAway for a year now and it works great. I'm currently using it with Quantum v3.05 and have successfully used it with various 4.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.3.1, 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 ROMs. Chances are that you have a bad download. I'd verify the MD5sum and/or redownload it from a different source (F-Droid). Note that Skype (I hate this app) somehow bypasses AdAway and still manages to show ads on the main screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xXshur1kenXx:
Do you have an external SD card you can use? Even if you can borrow one just to do this, because looks like you will need to format the internal.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Yeah format internal will wipe your pictures etc. That's why I suggested you back everything up to your external or your computer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ultimategamer_:
I do have one. So do I Odin back or try the internal wipe??

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xXshur1kenXx:
We can just go with the internal wipe. Your external sd is working just fine right? Move all the ROM files on your external then reboot recovery and wipe internal. Then try reflashing
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ultimategamer_:
The thing is, I don't know how much space is on it and how to do that even..

Edit: Like it doesn't even show up as a folder in my phone on my computer..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xXshur1kenXx:
Uh oh. If you can, put it in the phone then check storage. If you don't need the files on there or can spare them, format the SD
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ultimategamer_:
It's in the phone right now but it doesn't show up in storage.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xXshur1kenXx:
Crap. Have you tried reinserting it? I just hope for your sake it isn't corrupted.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ultimategamer_:
Okay, how about this. Is there another we can format internal without using an SD card?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] galakanokis:
Sure but then you have to be familiar with adb or side loading files. Have you tried Banks core gapps and the rest from the store? I tried 3 different gapps packages before I found one that worked well on my device.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ultimategamer_:
PA 0 Day gapps was my second and I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with gaaps..just with internal.

Edit: If I do get core gapps, how do you get all the other ones you need? Like news, music, gallery etc.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] galakanokis:
Your problem is with Google services is it not? No gapps no Google services. Just a hunch but to me more would be wrong with your device than just Google services if you had a corrupted SD card. I had the same problem with PA gapps a week or two ago on this ROM.

I downloaded everything else from the play store.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ultimategamer_:
So your advice to solve this all would be?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] galakanokis:
Go ahead and wipe or go to stock with Odin, both will give a clean slate if you don't want to try a different gapps package. Just telling you I had the same experience with PA version of gapps so I had to switch. Banks was the only one that worked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ultimategamer_:
Okay, let me try this new gaaps? What shall I do to start, get Banks core gapps? That is like 19mb?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] galakanokis:
Yes, very small with the very basics, only real app I believe is the store. Make a nandroid of course so you can easily go back. Not sure if you can just flash overtop of your current setup but as usual the standard wipe. Haven't gone to stock in awhile but I remember it being a pain as I forgot to back up some stuff. Just a 10 minute step to possibly save you some grief.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfangs:
Just clean flashed 3.05 and I'm flying! Sticking with QuantumKernel this time as well. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] colt45x:
You shouldn't have to mess with formatting internal memory. Just reboot to recovery, make a nandroid, wipe data/factory reset. Go to mounts and storage, format /system. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. Then flash quantum 3.05, and a gapps package for 4.4.2. Banks gapps core the 19mb one you mentioned will work fine. For everything else you need use the Play Store.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ultimategamer_:
What happens if I factory reset from Settings>Personal>Backup/Restore??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] colt45x:
It does the same thing if you do it the way you mentioned or do it in recovery. It will wipe all your apps and settings and put your phone back to how it was right after you flashed with ROM before setting anything up. It will keep your downloads and photos intact.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ultimategamer_:
Oh so it won't return phone to like 4.1.2 when I first decided to flash a ROM while rooted?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] colt45x:
No it will just take the ROM you are currently running back to "stock."

No sound from alarms this morning. Even in alarm settings, not a peep. Rebooted and all is well. Hopefully that won't repeat tomorrow.

Shake to snooze is back, though! :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hyewiz:
I need your help, whats the best way to format and clean flash this ROM, I have so many junk folders laying around, you can imagine.

from installing and uninstalling apps, also from jumping ROM to ROM until I have settled down with Quantum.

Is there a way that I can have CWM format and delete all these junk without loosing the CWM recovery and then I flash V3.05

please help me

thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] friedsonjm:
Woke up before my alarm, tried to check the time, SOD phone would not wake up, long press on power key to reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jswclw:
Same thing here, non responsive, rebooted after holding power button just now. Strange, all day yesterday and not a hint of trouble. May have to try a clean install. Also running spec gapps this time which is a change.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xXshur1kenXx:
You would have to delete junk folders in the phone yourself. You can use CWM to format system data and other things however.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rs3freak:

Phone just locked up, restoring nandroid so I can get through the day, until we can figure more out about what is happening.. I have to use my phone this morning..

I note we are both running SPEC gapps.. may be a conflict...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kaflex:
The was I clean flash is:

boot to recovery (I use CWM)

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

advanced

wipe dalvik cache

+++++Go Back+++++

mounts and storage

format /system

format /data and /data media (/sdcard)

+++++Go Back+++++

install ROM and GAPPS

wipe cache

wipe dalvik

power off

It's probably overkill, but I never had any issues and got plenty of room left
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xXshur1kenXx:
I'm getting amazing battery life, but I'm going to do a clean reflash later today. I think some app has a messed up data which caused me boot issues earlier. I'm gonna format the internal memory when I flash. Will post screens later.

Bluetooth icon - connect my headset, icon turns white. Disconnect my headset, icon stays white.

Headset appears to connect/disconnect properly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] the.teejster:
Awesome ROM as usual.

Here are my observations with V3.05 (on Bell Mobility)

1 - Bell TV app still generates video error when trying to view TV (This has been present with all Quantum Kitkat versions to date)

2 - Ascending Ringtone option doesn't work. When enable the ring tone simply stays at the volume level it's supposed to start at and volume doesn't get louder with each ring

3 - UPDATE: Works... Just have to hold back key longer than before .Developer Options - Long press of Back key to kill app doesn't work.

4 - Bluetooth is a little wonky. 1st time pairing with speakerphone all worked w/o issue. After pairing, I turned off bluetooth and speakerphone, turned on bluetooth and then speakphone, icon turned white but it was not connected to speakerphone. Turned off bluetooth and could not turn it back on. Rebooted phone. Re-enabled bluetooth, got FC on Bluetooth Sharing. Re-enabled and bluetooth connected to speakerphone and it worked. Turned off bluetooth and could not turn back on again without rebooting. Rebooting allows bluetooth to work again for one time (after getting the FC on bluetooth sharing)

Everything else works wonderful for me including Wifi (Using 4.4.2 PA stock GAPPS).

Thanks Pwn !!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame3202:
My bluetooth worked fine yesterday when I flashed. This morning, kept getting "bluetoothshare has stopped" and reboots or anythign didn't fix it. Ended up restoring a backup from v3. Was driving so didn't grab a log. Going to flash again. It was a clean flash too.

Hold back to kill works for me. Although, kinda weird. It opens my browsing history first, then closes (if I'm closing the browser).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] the.teejster:
You are correct.

I tried again and kept it pressed longer then I usually did in the past and it did work. Thank you

Anyones Bluetooth working. I flashed the v3.05 and the kernel. Wondering if there were issues with connecting to Bluetooth devices
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hyewiz:
Thank you for great info but just to make sure, when you say

"/data media (/sdcard)" isn’t the "sdcard" my external card? I really don’t want to format that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:
To my knowledge Data media is not required to be wiped for flashing rom..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kaflex:
that's the internal storage /sdcard1 would be the external. you don't really need to wipe those but I find it helps free space up
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hyewiz:
Thank you both.

Somehow I’m paranoid when it comes to formatting, excuse me if I'm asking to many questions.

Thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr.Rageface:
I'm having a rather hefty battery drain from "MSM_otg" Kernel Wakelock. Will not let the phone sleep.

Edit: From what I am reading it has something to do with the Kernel thinking its still plugged in, "ghost charging" as they put it or it thinks that there is a otg cable plugged in. Something along those lines and a reboot after unplugging from the charger is supposed to fix the problem, going to see if that does the trick but this is something that may need looking into, other than that no other issues that I can see.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
You had an issue with a USB cable when you unplugged from computer, charger, etc. Reboot will get rid of it instantly.

Sorry for not being around, had a 9 hour shift at work (longest one since almost August cause they cut my hours :( ), and I have one final left today on Confucianism. Probably will see something coming up tonight or early tomorrow before I head home.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame3202:
Potential fix for bluetooth issue. I got a PM from KB2755 (he can't post due to low post count):

I had the same Bluetooth issue after a clean flash. Go to Settings > Apps, then go to the "All" tab at the top. Locate "Bluetooth Share" and choose "Clear data". Do a reboot, and all should be good!

Trying it now, but it definitely makes sense! Just thought I'd post in case in helps someone else.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Didn't work for me last night. Honestly it wasn't working for like 15 minute intervals and it was completely randomized. Don't know what's going on with that but I'll look into it later on tonight.

Good luck on your final! Take your time and rest, this last release is very stable so there's no rush.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] distracto:
Thanks for this, curious though - when recovering apps and data through TiBU, will it not just recreate a lot of the folders again? myself i have /media/0/android....as well as /media/android/data/..... also /apps/.... etc....all holding data. are apps just installing where they feel like it and creating long nesting strings of folders?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarKnight6969:
It depends on your settings in TiBu a bit. It will install your apps where they were initially installed according to the play store/android system. It shouldn't be creating redundant folders, only ones it needs and only if you have any data with those apps bup'd
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xXshur1kenXx:
Good luck on the finals! You got this man :thumbup:

Also, is anyone having the a device wakeup error? Every time I'm using the Intellidemand governor, my phone screen will not wake. I have to force a reboot from there. Any ideas??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] friedsonjm:
Read the last few pages.. you are at least the 3rd person to have this problem on the latest update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kaflex:
I don't use TiBU, I only back up the ROM just in case, other than that, I'll wait for everything to download again from the playstore.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xXshur1kenXx:
Ah OK.Thanks. I think it's an error in the kernel governors. It doesn't happen with interactivex but does consistently with intellidemand. No worries though, I have to switch GApps so I'll be reflashing again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gregthomas129:
No bluetooth problems for me, I have an hour commute to work everyday and I pair with my in-dash Nexus 7, worked perfect. I did, however, dirty flash this over 4.4.1 if that helps.

I am not sure that is the case... I've been using interactiveX ....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xXshur1kenXx:

Why does it seem like every time there's a major new CM release, Bluetooth functionality falls off a cliff and slides right back down to square one? :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lordmorphous:
I would assume because of proprietary drivers...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
But since there's no official 4.4 release from Samsung, they'd have to use the 4.3 or 4.2 drivers, which have been working on the CM10 releases, so that rules them out. It points to code changes on the CM side of things. You'd think they'd learn by now to not fix what isn't broken. ;)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] colt45x:
Try to send a picture with a smaller file size. In the camera, change the image quality down to 3 megapixels or so, and try to send that picture.

That's what I had to do once, the network wouldn't accept the large file size or something. I know it's not a fix by any means but you could try it. My MMS works fine though. Could just be your network.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] natefish:

To the folks having issues with sound (particularly there being no sound on an alarm), I've noticed a similar sound unreliability on my end since pre-RC releases.

As far as I can tell, it seems to sometimes come from changing sound outputs. Eg, headphones to no headphones. But that's anecdotal and simple minded of me.

In any case, I have yet to have a problem if I verify sound to be working (eg, check with the rocker right) before turning in for the night.
