No

Slimkat stable on my SCH-S968C
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You should install BBS or Wakelock Detector, let either if those two apps run for several hours to an entire day, then monitor what's using battery. Battery life hasn't been an issue for me the last few days and I've been at work for a few hours per day and commuting an hour both ways as well.

I'm on 4.1 and getting pretty terrible battery life. Like, my battery will actually discharge when on my car dock (yeah, GPS is running, and streaming music, but still...).

Is anyone reporting better battery life in the latest weeklies vs. 4.1? Just wondering if updating might help.

Also, in better battery stats, uner 'Partial Wakelocks' I just see a listing saying "This stat requires root". I am both rooted, and have the Enable battery stats for kitkat Xposed Module installed. What gives?

Any help is appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You don't need that Xposed module, I've never had it installed and BBS and also Wakelock Detector work fine. In BBS, go to Settings/Advanced and enable "Root Features." That's all you need to do, short of accepting the root prompt as well. BBS has worked fine for me on every SlimKat release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mattish13:
Try getting a car charger with higher amp output like 1A. I think most are 0.5A. And streaming music while using gps is going to use a lot of juice while on any Rom i think
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
Thanks, didn't realize that!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmbray:
Yes I have exactly that. Also frequent reboots after having this issue in YouTube app.

They don't build the weekly for this phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
Is there any way to change the vibrate pattern for incoming texts? Or is it only on a per app basis? I'm using Hello as my SMS app and there aren't any settings in the app for it.

lose root

I've flashed this rom 3 times and ever time I lose root ,never had this problem with any 4.3 or 4.4 roms can't seem to get root on slim but if I restore nandroid or flash liquid I get root back any suggestions this is my first time flashing slim but I've flashed about every other rom out there with our this issue ,and I do have super su or super user installed but won't install binaries
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Postal Psycho:
I believe you must enable developer options by tapping build number 7 times and then in developer options you must allow apps to access root privileges.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Whoa, nobody said anything about SlimKat stable 5 being released today!! I feel like I've been out of the loop since did yard work all day haha thanks for pushing this out for us Nick! Downloading now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] uberbdon:
I'm sure this has been asked and answered a thousand times before, but... What's the difference between d2vzw and d2lte? I notice the d2lte build is much newer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
The d2vzw builds are specific to Verizon GSIII, not too long ago they merged the Verizon, AT&T, and one other carrier's (can't remember) code into what is being called the d2lte. So anything labeled d2lte should work with a Verizon GSIII as well as AT&T and the other carrier I can't remember.

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

Did you flash over a previous version? Wondering how it worked out if you did. I'm running 4.1 right now and thinking of flashing over it, but I could be convinced to do a clean install. Been having huge battery issues as of late.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] uberbdon:
Is one more stable, or better than the other? The d2lte one is a newer build...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbus08:
d2lte is all versions of our phone, instead of separate files for everyone they were merged so there is only one to maintain now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
I'm not sure. That doesn't really have anything to do with the d2vzw vs. d2lte though, the naming convention isn't unique to SlimROM, CM did the same thing. The ROMs were being built separately up until a certain point but I guess they realized that the code was the same so it was merged into one ROM.

You can just think of it like up until [date here] it was being called d2vwz, then after [date here] they started calling them d2lte.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] uberbdon:
Ahh, OK. So is it safe to assume you and most others on the latest SlimROM are using the d2lte version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
Yup, for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] uberbdon:
Great, thanks a lot. Apparently I've been using the SlimROM from March and just now realized it, lol...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It's actually more than three carriers, from the Slim website homepage:

Unified devices:

d2att, d2tmo, d2spr, d2vzn, d2usc, d2mtr are now d2lte

I always clean install but I have not flashed stable 5 yet. I am still on 4.9. I'm trying to watch these NBA playoff games before I clean flash and set everything back up starting with Titanium Backup haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] timothydonohue:
it's because clockwork recovery sucks nuts. use twrp. otherwise, you're going to have to flash an su zip every time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phatreno:
Root

Finally got Root didn't realize had to open up developer options and turn Root on, didn't see that in the Op working great now well was working good before minus Root issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmbray:
Thanks for this. Explains why the file I was using was so old. YouTube working now of course.

Oh yeah, dirty flashed over the old d2vzw and gapps aio and all's well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
Anybody having issues with service? Clean flash of Build 5 and I am getting a Searching for Service message and I cant send any texts... I do however have 3 bars and LTE works.

EDIT: Fixed. mobile Networks was for some reason set on Global. Force changed it to CDMA + LTE/EvDo and Auto (instead of Home Only). Ill see if it sticks and wont reset again on boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thorrules:
I noticed one thing about my S3, the LTE signal is not as strong as LTE on my wife's G2 (she is also on verizon but on stock rooted g2 rom). many times it shows 4g on her phone and I am dropped to 3g, I didn't do speed comparison but I will do it when it happens next. I have been using Slimkat for a while so I am not sure whether it is Slimkat issue or issue with s3 in general?

Btw, kudos to the slimkat team for the hard work on the ROM!

I also wanted to add that, I am already on VRUCML1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eksoccer99:
What I have read before is that aosp shows true signal and tw/TouchWiz somewhat fakes your bars by 1-2 making it seem/look like you have a better signal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thorrules:
I am not comparing S3 aosp vs S3 TW. I am comparing S3 aosp with LG G2 verizon. I know it's not apples to apples comparison but I was just curious to know whether it is Slimkat or just the S3 hardware issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You'll want to compare S3 on TouchWiz to G2 then. AOSP doesn't have as strong a signal compared to S3 on TouchWiz depending on your area. If you live in a fringe/low signal area then it's more noticeable. If you live in a higher quality area, it's not such a bad deal. I wouldn't say it's scientifically proven, but there's enough anecdotal evidence that supports this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Has anyone heard when the new theme chooser implementation will be rolling in? Themes have been keeping me away. Otherwise I think slim is the BEST ROM available for a KitKat build. So stable. So awesome! Thanks guys. I've been out of the loop for a while and miss slimkat.

Has anyone been able to get a handle on Google Play Services battery drain? I know this is a HUGE issue in itself and is not ROM specific. Normally disabling location reporting and history is able to quell the drain but it hasn't for me on SlimKat, I'm running build 5, updated from 4.1.

The Nlpwakelock from Google Services has been draining my battery like mad. Any suggestions are much appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bass0324:
Did you try disabling the scanning always available in the advanced wifi settings? That one killed my battery for a while, especially when I forgot about it on clean installs

I just installed the Build 5 and when I use TWRP to unload the file it keeps telling me that it failed. I've tried other ROM and it works just fine is there something I'm missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Yes. Just not front facing blur is all I could find.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
I don't think you are missing anything. I clean flashed using TWRP last night and it worked fine. Try to re-download the Rom and do it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shakes The AssClown:
Clean flashed... Able to send one text..now all fail. Is there a fix for this AOSP texting issue without flashing back to stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] esjames:
Odin back to a pre- MF1, the most recent before that is the MB1 update. Just backup in recovery and then odin back, re-root/recovery and restore your backup. Just do not update the modem or your problem will return.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shakes The AssClown:
I'm on mf1 already... Do I have to go back even earlier?

Make sure you have the newest version of TWRP, 2.7.0 I think is the newest. I have problems with flashing newer ROMs on 2.6.3

Thank you for this! Works like a charm, just don't change anything in settings (I tried power button as shutter and volume for zoom) and you'll get a force close. Gallery for some reason puts my today pics in landscape mode when I hold my phone in portrait.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
I have different results. My volume keys to zoom work perfect. I never use power button shutter so I never enabled it. Also I did push the gallery and Camera to system/app, fixed perms. So that could be it. I wonder if enabling the power button shutter disables all the hard buttons after the first FC..... Might want to try uninstalling and pushing to system/app.

As for the gallery it does force some of my photos into landscape like u said. Very strange. I did find a cool feature in the gallery, if you go to albums then camera above the pics is a small tile with a slide show of all your photos.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
I installed it as an app, did not push it. Not a big deal as I dont really use my phone camera, i usually have my t3i with 50mm handy when I want to take some good pics. Thanks for your input as well tho!

Samsung SCH-S968C Android v4.4.2 Slim-4.4.2.build.5-OFFICIAL-4053
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
I believe you have do something with the Sim card to update the prl since it does it automatically now. No need to type in codes and such
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
I think you just pull out the SIM card out for a minute then put it back in then it should update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
While phone is on or off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
The phone will manually check for a PRL update once you boot up after re-inserting the sim card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] infsoul:
it has a SIM card slot but no sim card in it its only using CDMA this is a straight talk phone on the CDMA v side

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Yea, see I'm not sure how you guys on Straight Talk do that. Have you tried posting in the (what I refer to anyway) unofficial Straight Talk thread in the Q/A section? Idk why but I feel like y'all just do a *228 via the dialer, but I know that will cause LTE issues for Verizon sim phones. Pulling the sim card is our new method of updating the PRL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] infsoul:
Well straighttalk originally supposed to dial star 22890 when I dial star 228 I guess it works on that I'm sure but other than that I see no change in signal

Samsung SCH-S968C Android v4.4.2 Slim-4.4.2.build.5-OFFICIAL-4053
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] t1n0m3n:
I tried pulling the sim, then rebooting. Same PRL both before and after (13xxx something).

I dialed *228 option 2 (per Verizon's website) and my PRL updated to 53435.

As an aside, pulling the sim with my ZeroLemon was not possible. I had to search for my old stock battery...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I sure hope you don't lose access to LTE, cuz more often than not, that is the result. Glad it worked for you. My PRL is 15310 at the moment. Idk if the fact that I'm on VRBMB1 firmware plays a role in that.

You have to use Slim Gapps then. They include the Multi DPI play store so apps do not show up incompatible because of the default DPI

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] t1n0m3n:
And removing/re-inserting the SIM card while no power does WHAT again?

Not sure if you were being sarcastic or just flippant...

---------------------

I guess I could have powered off, removed battery, removed sim, inserted battery, powered up, got the no sim message (so the phone knew to update PRL), powered down, removed battery, inserted sim, inserted battery, powered up...

Would the above work?

---------------------

And, yes, I lost 4G, so it looks like I will need to do some "research" now. :)

Not a biggie though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phillysdon04:
I set all shake events to screen off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I've never actually booted up whenever I removed the sim. I always remove the battery, remove sim, then reinsert sim, then boot up. Lol it never occurred to me to boot up without the sim pull battery, reinsert sim, and finally boot up. I'll try that now and see if my PRL changes.

Just get a new sim from Verizon btw. That's the sure fire way to get LTE back.

Edit: Nope, no change in my PRL doing the whole boot up without a sim routine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] t1n0m3n:
Too easy!

I saw some thread a while ago regarding sideloading a PRL, I intended on checking that out.

However if it gets too involved, I will keep your suggestion as my get out of jail free card.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cstone1991:
Boot the phone in to safe mode and then change your network settings to something without LTE, then back to what it was. You should now see 4g on your phone reboot to get out of safe mode. If this doesn't work try a few times.
