Nope. Got a 3. Flashed SlimKat 9. No GPS. Sorry. GPS shows up in status bar. No satellites visible.

On the [*gps fix]..., couldn't get the phone to respond to those codes and I had flashed TW.

I don't think this issue has anything to do with either of these because GPS does not completely disappear. AND, it doesn't work when I flash SlimKat 9, but it works fine when I to back to my Nandroid of SlimKat 7.

Thanks for your help. Any other thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Why don't you grab some logcats while trying to get a GPS fix? Make one on 7 showing it working and one on 9 with it not working. Maybe the devs can look at what's different.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
I'm telling ya it works. 99% sure that will help if its not a hardware issue. *#0*# :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
Tried CarbonRom, also. Same issue.

FWIW, I tried to flash SlimLP but it just hung on the boot animation.

My conjecture at this moment, since Carbon had same issues, is that, at some point, the Cyanogen builds introduced something which is causing the GPS issues. The GPS device is visible/accessible, it just doesn't see any satellites. There don't seem to be any errors with the GPS or the Location service.

If I get some time, I will try and do a logcat of working vs. non-working.

Thanks.

You know I fixed my GPS problem by allowing location in the maps app through the shield symbol the pops up on the top when I opened the app
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
Hmmm..... I didn't notice the privacy guard shield, but GPS status takes up the whole screen, so I might not have seen it...

Were you having the same issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lilgrass71:
Yeah. Tried with GPS fix too... But once I turned on location in both the maps and GPS fix apps through privacy guard the sky's lit up with GPS signals
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
Nope. No loving on the GPS. :(

I have attached logcats for GPS for slimkat7 and slimkat9.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
Tried the latest CM11 nightly build for d2lte and that caused the same issue.

I did find in the Cyanogen forums that between CM10 and CM11, GPS broke for many phones. It seems that the NVRAM gets corrupted, which is why the *#197.... fix works for some, although I couldn't get that to work on my phone (it looked to me like it was primarily for ATT phones), because that resets the NVRAM.

I tried adb reboot nvrestore but that just caused the phone to boot loop.

At this point, I am out of ideas on what to try to fix the issue, although I think I do now know what the issue is....

With all of the screwing around with the phone, I ended up de-activating it and had to re-activate it this morning with Sprint (didn't even have a correct phone number in the device). Even after doing ALL that, GPS still comes up with no satellites. It's almost as if the device interface for the GPS-related applications is not getting the satellite data from the GPS device. If I had a lower-level type of diagnostic test I could perform, I could see whether the GPS device itself was receiving satellite signals but I don't know if there is anything out there like that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kolosus:
GPS on my 9 stable broke too.

I read some place to flash a stock rom. Get a gps lock. Flash Slim again (preferably fresh) and check gps lock.

It worked for me. Certainly worth a shot.

EDIT: GPS worked on my slim 7 always though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
Ok. That worked. Thank you SO much. That did it.

Edit: I CAN'T FREAKIN' BELIEVE THAT WORKED. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Edit: I know others have reported that getting a GPS fix is slow and that you have to have clear line of sight on SlimKat9 but now that GPS is working it is actually working better under SlimKat9 than under SlimKat7. YMMV
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
I told you it would. Dialer code would have worked also. *#0*#. Make sure all three axis show in compass. You said dialer code didn't do anything, and I know that one does if you are on stock tw.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
So... I probably wasn't clear... Dialer code worked and I calibrated the compass. But, that didn't do any good for me. It wasn't until I got a lock with the TW rom and then flashed SlimKat 9 that I was able to see any satellites.

If I hadn't already calibrated the compass, that probably wouldn't have worked either. It's probable that both were needed in order for it to work.

Thanks.

Does anyone know of a fix for the front camera when using snapchat? The image is stretched and the recording doesn't work.

EDIT:

The front camera also lags a lot on snapchat.

I just installed TWRP 2.8.5 and SlimKat 9.0 with GAPPS Full on my d2spr. I have enabled "Developer Options" and Root Access for Apps and ADB.

I have found 2 problems

1) There seems to be a problem with USB OTG. I have been unable to get my external hard drive to be recognized while my generic tablet has no problem.

2) When using the Camera app, if you go to gallery I think if you go to Camera (like sliding all the way to the left) everything to do with the Camera will crash and say "Cannot connect to camera". This problem is resolved from a reboot. I tried installed Google Camera while having this problem and upon launch my device rebooted itself.

Thank you very much for all your hard work on this rom. I used Slim on an old device a long time ago and came back to your custom roms because of how much I appreciated and liked your last one. Keep up the great work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cloead:
rom worked flawlessly for a long time.. now i have two issues

google play services throwing error after error until i clear its cache, then its fine for a while but will randomly start doing it again

and now my camera doesnt work. it will load and connect to it for a second, and then it freezes and eventually force closes

any idears?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
You can try the Gapps posted here. They're updated slim KitKat Gapps. Don't know what to do about the camera, though.

I just did a clean install of this coming from liquid smooth 4.2.2 and root checker and titanium backup are telling me I no longer have root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] awillis111:
Did you read the flashing, instructions on slimroms.net? You have to open settings, enable developer options, and enable root to apps/adb.

Like everyone else is saying, GREAT BETA BUILD. I'd like to report a couple of issues I'm having while playing music from music player... while connected via bluetooth the phone freezes up and I have to force reboot by holding power button...while playing via headset I am getting a clicking/scratching sound. None of these issues are happening while streaming or playing via soundcloud...only music player.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nelsonator1982:
Hey guys great ROM have slim on my nexus 4..... I put this on my buddies sprint s3 for him and GTA vice city lags out when he drives.......anyone else have this or should I reflash????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Trying to figure out where the following issue is at.

I run 1Weather on my TouchWiz based roms. I also run it on this rom (On Beta 4 for the last week. First time running Slim Bean on my phone.)

I have 1Weather set to auto update every hour. It does this no problem on TouchWiz, however I am noticing that it is not auto updating on this rom. For example, I just opened 1Weather right now (5:34PM) and it shows it last updated last night at 8:34PM so obviously it's not auto updating every hour.

Why would it not be auto-updating on SlimBean but it does on TouchWiz rom's?

Thank you,

Whiteice
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JBakey:
Its done that on my s3 since I got it 9 months ago. Both on stock and aosp. Don't know why either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nelsonator1982:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ihugyou:
Could be a stupid question but did you check your settings for weather1 since you installed it?

Also the app might not have 4.3 support yet!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] syphex:
Sorry if this has been covered before but how do you uninstall Google Now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] awillis111:
Titanium Backup. Or, using your favorite file explorer (Root Explorer/ES File Explorer) that has root access, go to /system/app, mount as R/W, and delete QuickSearchBox.apk. Then Reboot

Anyone having any camera issues? I was taking some pics today with auto flash set in a dark environment and the screen would turn black and capacitive buttons light up. Took like 3 or 4 and it would happen. Had to wait till black screen unfroze and do a reboot to use camera again. One time phone shut off and had to do a battery pull to start phone.

Not a big deal but has anyone had issues syncing Google Calendar? The arrows turn for a sec then stop. I'm using the latest slim aio gapps.

Little extra work, but I'll share the app to messaging, then copy that text and paste it to the forum.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] s9amme:
Finally got around to installing the beta build. I've been on slim build 7 for a while. No major issues to report. Camera works, Google services sync with out issues, GPS locks. Battery seems great so far too. I'm at 65% and have 2hrs of screen time already. Had some problems restoring apps from titanium, but I was aware of the solution prior though. This beta build feels like a release! I think the official release should be coming out this week or next.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nelsonator1982:
Go to settings...then input......then check Google voice typing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nickf914:
Could you please share some of your settings/tips? My battery life is not very comparable to your reports...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] s9amme:
As for performance settings, I'm using the Wheatly governor and NOOP scheduler, using stock voltages and no overlocking/underclocking.

I use the Greenify app to hibernate all my social networking apps, games, and any other apps that want to ping my location in the background. In the same sense, i turn off google/map location access too. It also helps that I have full signal bars all the time where I live.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jjjjayd13:

Thanks much!!!

jjjjayd13, ;))):laugh::cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Settings I did check but I didn't even think of not having 4.3 support yet.

I will have to check because I use it on my Nexus 7 tablet running 4.3 and never noticed this issue on the tablet.

Thank you,

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Gargantuantua:
Been running the rom a few days now and it's been great. A little while ago tumblr and few other apps kept fcing, but I fixed permissions so maybe it will help.

Also I know root has to be enabled under dev options, and I have. When I reboot out of recovery though it says root may have been lost and would I like to try and fix it? Is that normal?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:
My root stays. I have mine set to apps only
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Gargantuantua:
It says that in recovery but it seems like I still have root so I just hit no.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Gargantuantua:
It also says this rom may flash stock recovery and asks me if I want to disable it.

Please forgive what I'm sure is a pretty stupid question... how do I get the weather on the lockscreen? I looked through all the settings and don't see the option. Thanks for any help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteiceDMSTech:
I use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roman.dashclock&hl=en

Then when on the lock screen, hold down on your lock screen (or if you see like the settings symbol, touch it) then log in and it will take you to the settings screen for it and you can add it as well as download a bunch more extensions for it.

Good luck,

Whiteice

PS. Not a dumb question at all buddy. :)

Camera Flash...

Most of the time when I use the flash it makes the phone shut off then I have to pull the battery to reboot...I thought I had it fixed before installing photosphere but I still get this error...Anyone know a fix? Thanks and sorry if this is widely known...I have been looking...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
My guess is photosphere is the problem because it's not designed for this device.

I have an odd problem..

everything was going along just fine when 2 days ago I went into recovery wiped and flashed one of my noids. Since then I haven't been able to do anything. I want to be as detailed as possible (so excuse the length of this post)

I flash to recovery whether its a previous backed up noid or fresh install of a ROM once it goes through the TWRP process past the boot animation, it starts to loop. It goes back to the boot animation, then to the startup screen then starts looping. I've completely wiped and returned to stock, used odin to flash a new tar, flashed new update for TWRPS 2.6.3, and used 2.3.3.0 and 2.6.0, dirty flashed, the gambit. I am not stuck I can get to Open recovery, or into download, just won't complete flash of nanoids, or custom ROMs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Oh also used the MD4 reset and cannot get any mobile data access

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKenRob:
Let me get this right... I post a problem and your response is "you spammed like 4 different threads"?

1st point I DO NOT SPAM. Check my post to thanks ratio.

2nd pt. If you are trolling threads and wish to play hall monitor do it on your own time.

3rd pt. The logic behind my posts is simple. I have been without a working unit over the weekend tomorrow is Monday (1st day of work week), I've exhausted my personal resources as far as remedies and need help as my phone is crucial to what I do.

Last pt. rather than troll and snip, how about actually giving some advice regarding the issue. As the saying goes "If you have nothing to add, please DO NOT respond".

Thank you sir, I was downloading that but wanted to make sure it was the right one, do I install slim-d2spr-4.3 build 1 then install slim-aio_gapps right after?

I'm coming from 4.1.2 so this is my first aosp rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LuigiBull23:
Yes but the gapps package is up to you. You can either go with the AIO,gapps, aroma selectable gapps. or minimal gapps. Whichever you prefer is fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
Its OK to post a problem just not 7 times in every thread you run across some one will get to help you out.

OK so here we go your best bet is to Odin back to stock with the md4 restore and reactivate. If you corrupt your data the only way to fix it is that way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tcowl:
Follow install instructions on slim ROMs website. Format data/cache/dalvik/system. Flash rom, flash gapps.

Superuser is integrated into settings. You have to activate it under developer options. Had you read the flashing instructions in the OP, or at slimroms.net, you would already know that useful tidbit of information.

Thank you for your hard work!!!:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dolomitersm:
Has anyone else seen this behavior where bluetooth turns itself on automatically? I have toggled it on to my bluetooth speaker but when I turn it off the icon goes away but then a minute or so later the bluetooth icon shows up. I have tried turning it off in settings & the quick settings panel and sure enough a minute later the icon reappears until i reboot the phone. It's more of a annoyance & can live w/ it since everything is super awesome in this rom but if anyone has a fix would be cool.

I did a clean install of 4.3 Build 1.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uodii:
I havent tried honestly, but I usually just leave BT on no matter what. As long as the BT device disconnected from the phone, it doesnt seem to affect the battery so I just leave it on. I think it works in the same way that GPS works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nickf914:
Great build. The only I can report as buggy is the camera sometimes takes pics with the lines/noise in the picture quality, and also the music playback from storage has some unpredictable feedback.
