When they started KK for Slim they said basically everything was getting rebuilt from the ground up. Something new has been added just about every build, but most releases are little performance tweaks or bug fixes. Still haven't seen stuff like themes, DPI, TRDS gapps, and disable key back light but I would bet we'll see all that extra stuff by the time we get to a stable official.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
If I'm going from a nightly to official 2.2 build do I dirty flash or complete wipe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
Still having the sound shut off completely, from all sources, randomly. Has anyone found a fix or a cause for this? This ROM is otherwise perfect. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Can't say I've had this problem...have you tried a clean flash with the newest GAPPS as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
Yea, several times. It was confirmed as an issue by at least 2 other people several pages back. Happened on AOKP as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
2.6 is dropping right now. It's uploaded for Grouper, wait out on D2VZW...expect it in next couple of hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] indyssee:
Mine only stops after I've used Bluetooth and then have to reboot to bring back sound. Its been like that, for me, going back to 4.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
Mine actually jams up after I use sound dock redirector, then I have to reboot. Or using Jango music app seems to mess with it too. Pandora,I heart and Spotify all work good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
Have you tired this weeks build yet? it's up now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
You can use xposed framework with xtheme module. I think there is also another xposed module for theming, something new but can't recall the name.

Watch as I combine all the juice from my mind...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
Looks like 2.5 RC1 broke my bluetooth. It was working pretty much 100% on 2.4 and it was great, first ROM I've tried in forever that had solid BT. Now it just hangs when it tries to connect to anything, just says "connecting..." for a solid 2 minutes and then gives up. I've tried unpairing and repairing (I can't repair it anymore), and anything else I could think of.

Of course, I didn't make a backup when I updated to 2.5 so now I'm wondering if I can flash 2.4 back over 2.5 to get back to the previous version. Would this work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
there is a new build up, 2.6 RC2, I would flash this first
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
Oh nice, didn't notice. Thanks, I'll try that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
Yup, they put up new builds every sunday night on slimroms.com

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

On 2.6 for me the kernel sets the Cpu to max at 384mhz with interactive unless I change it to Ondemand, where everything is working fine. Anyone else see this? Clean install for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Castanoff:
Does the Slim Center check the weekly builds?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverender326:
Bluesleep wakelock persists on 2.6. Crazy batt drain when BT is connected. BT connects flawlessly though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Farabomb:
Giving this a shot after running PAC forever. I'm having an issue though. None of the Gapps are working for me. I've tried the aroma, the AIO and the minimal and setup and google process keeps crashing and I can't get anywhere. If I don't install any Gapps I can use the phone but missing gapps is an issue for me.

Any ideas? Full wipe with TWRP and advanced wipe.

I have a older version of slim running on my nexus 7 without any issue. Why does my S3 hate me?

It hates me becasue I don't read. I bet the 4.3 gapps I d/l might be the problem.

I think my WiFi is busted with the new version :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
Clean install? What build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnytraveler:
You are the first to report of this problem. There's been 100+ downloads. Check your settings. Try a reflash. Btw my wifi is ok.

Sent from my KitKat Galaxy S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roghitmanx47:
I did a dirty flash since thats what I have normally done with this ROM and the updates it pushes. I'll clean install now to see if that fixes it, other than that, good update. And btw its the one from this week, yesterday :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] timothydonohue:
look back through the posts not very far back from yours (this one). you can edit a file, changing lcd settings, in a simple edit using root explorer. search this thread, if you have to do so, but it works fine. i think the setting i chose eventually was lcd density of 280 or so.

[MENTION=4428287]benwalburn[/MENTION] is it possible to add an update option to backoff? Idk if the app has been updated but if it does I don't want to miss it. It would be much easier if the app updates itself.

Sent by me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
What up fellas....and maybe a lady???

I haven't heard anyone report the camera bug in 2.6 (camera crash when switching from video to still) is that working?

What about theme chooser, is it back?

Watch, as I combine all the juice from my mind...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] benwalburn:
I actually made the app with tasker, so the functionality is limited. Also, the app functions exactly as intended, so I see no reason to make any changes. If it ceases to function for an update I'll take a look, or if someone has an idea for a new and related feature. Since I can't really roll out updates, I can't do much to let everyone know about it, except post here again.

I'd like to add it to the play store, but I do not currently have the money to pay the fee.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deuce237bblock:
Its working great for me on 2.6, I just don't want to miss an update if you happen to update the script. That's all. You did a great job with this script, I'm sure a lot of people appreciate it, I know I do.

Sent by me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I definitely enjoy the app as well. I vehemently dislike the S3 capacitive lights.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
How much is the fee?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] benwalburn:
It's a one time fee of $25. I'll be getting paid this Friday. I'll pay it then, since people like my app so much.

Just let me know if anyone has any features to add. I'm not a real developer, so I can't do much, but I know enough about tasker to get a little done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
Not that your asking but I appreciate the help. PM your PayPal account I'll shoot you a few bucks to help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deuce237bblock:
I don't like the hardware keys. Samsung needs to stop putting hardware keys on their devices and start using onscreen buttons. But that's not gonna happen, look at their tabs, they used to have nav bar now they have hardware keys. That and their locked down bootloaders and spyware, I am definitely not buying another samsung.

Sent by me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm not seeing it here, I just took a 10 second video then switched to camera after I took the video. I did that twice with no issues. Was that what you were experiencing? I must say, I'm on SlimKat 2.6 RC2 with KT 01/28 kernel installed. Might skew my results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
Using camera and video without issue on 2.6 with BMS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
Yes that was causing the camera to crash previously. Thanks Snoop!

Watch, as I combine all the juice from my mind...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] benwalburn:
Ok everyone, I'm trying to get my app on the play store and I need a favor. Google is making me jump through hoops and is requiring a 512 x 512 icon for some reason. Can somebody please create one and send it to me? I can't do graphics...

Thanks

EDIT: got a generic icon off Google. App uploaded, just waiting for Google to publish it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
All sounds just shut off again. 2.6 build. Headphones in, screen off. Stops in its tracks and shuts off. Please other people confirm this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'll check in a little while when I get on the metro. Is it only with headphones on? Vibrate as well? I keep my phone in vibrate when I listen to podcasts with AntennaPod and music using PowerAmp cuz I dislike hearing notifications. I haven't had any issues with the pre described setup and I listen to audio on my phone usually two to three hours a week pending my commute. No issues when I have podcasts playing over the headset speaker either on prior builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] benwalburn:
Here we go https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.benwalburn.backoff

I'm playing around with the app, trying to add support for roms without init.d without it running at startup for everyone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
Vibrate still works when this happens. Only with headphones connected. And voice dictation also doesn't work when this happens. Although I can still text and call. Is there a sound manager controlling slim anymore? I don't see one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
How exactly does the audio issue happen for you? How do you produce it? Is it when the screen has been off for a few minutes and audio is playing?

There is DSP Manager in the app drawer and there's also Settings/Advanced Options/Device/Sound. I haven't used either. I wonder if this is the type of thing that would show up in a logcat? Have you tried pulling one and checking it out?

Also, do you restore apps? Is this reproducible on a fresh install without restoring any apps and only having signed into your Google account?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
It has happened in many ways. Screen on one time. Screen off for a short period, as in under a minute, screen off for a longer period, as in over 10 minutes. I do restore apps. Although this has only been an issue on Kitkat, is has happened on multiple ROMs. I have not tried to reproduce it on a fresh install without installing anything. Mostly because at times, it can go hours without having this happen. I may try a different headset and see if that helps, but I really doubt thats the problem. I do plug the phone into computer speakers for long periods of time in my kitchen and it doesn't seem to happen then. I have never produced a logcat, but would be willing to try.

Also, oddly enough, I do not have DSP manager on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
I honestly listen to music on my phone 4+ hours a day during the week with headphones and haven't had this issue. Are you using a particular music player? In the past with poweramp I had an issue like this on another phone on like gb or ics because it wasn't switching back and forth between notifications and music properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
This is just with google music playing. Notice the 2 expanded notifications near the bottom. It is an actual problem. I'm not that sufficient with the internals of android to know how to fix it though. Sorry for gigantor picture.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Here's a dumb question, it may or may not have happened to me, but do your headphones have a play/pause button? I use SkullCandy earphones and mine will pause my music if I press the button accidentally. I wasn't aware these included that button since it's conspicuously hidden by the logo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
They don't no. No mic or anything. Super awesome quality headphones, but nothing extra.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Yeah, definitely seems something weird is going on. Your sound stops altogether until a reboot? Honestly, I feel that if you're seeing this on all kk roms that you really should do an install without restoring data. It's definitely weird that it's intermittent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
Further complicating things....reboot doesn't fix it. If I leave it alone for like an hour it fixes itself. It's completely bizarre. I take back the whole, I can call people thing. No sound from speaker on calls either. Oye. I'm gonna dirty flash 2.6 again just so I can get through the night. Then work on it tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
I agree. Sounds like something is trying to run in the background and is killing the sound. Leaving it alone for a while causes the ram manager to kill that app, allowing the sound to return.

Xgerry, have you tried killing certain app in the app manager while the sound stopped? You may be able to locate a rogue app causing your problem. Maybe see what is running and start by removing or force closing some apps. See if the problem persists.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
Hey, I did that today actually. But I only chose processes that I thought could have effected it. I should really go down one by one to see if one of them starts it back up. Good idea, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
NP, but if you find the app, let everyone know, just in case someone else has the same issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] uberbdon:
Did the Slim team decide to completely ditch the T-Mobile theme engine? Are they going to bring it back eventually?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
I couldn't find it, but yes, I believe they're going to build something new for theming. I swear I read that anyway.

On an unrelated note I went to close the xda app a few minutes ago and ended up with this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnytraveler:
With KK having built in theming capabilities, I'm guessing they will go that route. You'll be able to download themes (both free and paid are available) from the play store and apply them via settings. I tried it with another rom and its pretty cool.

Sent from my Cromix TF700T tablet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
What is this built in KK theming that is different from the theme chooser (which was actually built into settings on slim bean and others) ? What Rom were you in if you don't mind sharing? I didn't know kit Kat had any Google built in theming capabilities

That seems to be just theme chooser just ported to kk. Not kk theming specific and from what I can tell will not be in slimkat

I don't understand the decision to ditch the theme chooser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GlitchMob:
Haven't installed 2.6 yet. I'm still on 2.5.

Is there any bluetooth issues? i.e. bluetooth stereo disconnecting after 5-10min

Are we able to use video cam on apps like instagram and vine?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Would it be possible to have the option of having seconds in the status bar clock?

I know there is a way to do with by editing systemui or running that xiui xposed module (which has a bunch of redundant or unnecessary mods as well), but figured I would ask.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carpdeeem:
In both 2.4 (running ART) and now 2.6 (running Dalvik), I've had the same crash occur. While driving and using both Waze and Smart AudioBook Player, if I take a turn that requires Waze to recalculate my route, the phone reboots. Doesn't happen every time, but has happened with some regularity over the last week.

Is this likely a Slim or app issue? If Slim, could somebody advise what crash info collection I should perform to make this post more useful? (Sorry for not including it here!) Thanks!

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

I wasn't having any disconnect issues on 2.4 either, but for what it's worth, Bluetooth has been great for me on 2.6. I wonder if these issues are Bluetooth version specific. I'm using a SMART mini AUX car kit which supports 3.0+EDR and below.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrdunlop:
I cant seem to get the status bar transparent, was that broken in the latest weekly? I adjust it and the status bar just remains black
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
The sound issue just happened again. This time on a fresh install, fully wiped, no apps restored from TB. Just downloaded from play store. I'm ready to go back to 4.3 at this point. Which really sucks.

So it's basically saying on the log cat that it can't find a sound card. And in turn, the rest of the errors are being read for trying to use sound. But the main thing is the sound card is not being found. Could this be a hardware issue? It's a replacement phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jsmitty90:
I been losing sound randomly also until I reboot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Could you attach the logcat? Either with Pastebin or as an attachment. I'm not a dev by any means, I just wanted to check out the errors/warnings that show up cuz I can't reproduce this at all. Sorry I didn't post back earlier, but I've listened to about 3 hours of audio on my phone in the last two days on my DC commute. If you can reproduce this on JB 4.3 then my guess would be hardware issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
I can certainly produce the log cat when the errors happen, but not the exact time when the sound stops. It's completely random. It has since fixed itself after a few reboots and waiting. I'll post back with more info when it comes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
Thanks for fixing the camera in 2.6!! Might have found one weird bug, for some weird reason custom quick tiles to secure settings shortcuts don't work. The did on 2.5 and the work fine if create a short cut on the home screen, but no go from quick tiles, anyone else able to confirm? All other custom tiles I tried worked fine. I'll see if I can get a log in a bit
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] masInvasion:
Does this not have the quick tile banner that cm11 uses instead of the old settings banner thats over notifications?

That is a must have feature for me, but I can't seem to find it after I installed 2.6 RC2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
So I partly lied here, it doesn't work on 2.5 either. Here is a bug report of it helps, maybe it's an app issue? Just seems weird that they work fine on the home screen...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
Only issue I've really had so far is my Bluetooth headset skips when playing music. I'm stock kernel so no voltage adjustments. Interactive governor. Anyone else with this? I don't have connection issues. Just music skips. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
I had the sound issue last night, however, I am not sure if I rebooted after I used the sound dock re-director. It makes everything wonky.

I have also just turned on the dark slim theme and last time I did that is caused issues. I will turn it off and see if anything happens again. For some reason, themes do not play well with my phone.

I will report back, oh yeah, I am running 2.4, I have not had a chance to go to an RC version yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
Back to not being able to connect to camera on 2.6. Camera froze after taking a picture within stock messaging app. Took one pic fine. Froze when tried to open for a second pic. Got camera is not responding then cannot connect to camera message.

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

OK.. Reboot fixed camera but I'm able to duplicate the issue. Same thing happened on 2.4 I think. Taking picture within stock messaging broke it again. This time I took one picture within messaging app. It took just fine and I was able to send the pic. Back out and tried to open camera from app drawer and got can't connect to camera. Reboot fixed again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Yeah, I just had it happen using snapchat.

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

You can just swipe over to the quick settings, but no toggles currently in the notification screen. Power toggles is on the market, but as slim gets closer to a stable build I'm sure we'll see more customizations.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
Maybe tiny bug, when trying to set direct dial or message as quick tile I get fc, it still works but can't set to collapse because of it. Can anyone else confirm?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
I can confirm, my sound issue is after I dock the phone and run sound dock redirector without a reboot.

I have to reboot after I use that app or the phone goes crazy. No sound no video all kinds of issues. The other day my alarm clock never sounded.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carpdeeem:
Jumped the gun on my Bluetooth assessment the other day. Not working as well in 2.6 as it was in 2.4. Doesn't autoconnect or autodisconnect, but at least is better about manually connecting than versions prior to 2.4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
Can you just tell me a little bit about whatever dock thing you're using so I can get a better idea if our issues are the same? For me, its just a simple wired headphone jack. I'm on Liquidsmooth at the moment just to give it a spin. I prefer Slim to LS greatly. The battery life itself is just so much better. I'm gonna wait for another release and try again. In the meantime I'll see if this happens again on a different ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
I dock in my car to an ibolt dock. The wiring allows for sound through the USB port. To get sound to work, I have to run a sound dock redirector app. But after I pull the phone off of the dock, I need to reboot. If I don't, at first everything is fine, but after the phone sits idle for a while, sound and video stop working.

So I reboot right after I take it off the dock. I don't know if this is the app doing it or the phone itself having a problem going into driving mode and coming out of driving mode. It's possible.

I hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
Yea, it definitely sounds like it's a similar circumstance. I've never seen my issue happen with the screen on or when actually completing an action, such as turning the screen on, plugging in or unplugging the headphones. It just happens so randomly. I'm going to run a JB backup for a few days I think, just to make sure it's not exclusive to Kitkat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
I forgot to mention, I am running 2.4 I have not upgraded to the rc yet. Mine is not random. It is definitely die to the docking and undocking.

On another note, does anyone get less vibration from the phone the colder it gets? I noticed in the polar vortex this happens, probably a hardware thing. Never had that happen in Florida. Go figure....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
I can also confirm sound issues. I am not using a dock though just seems to randomly go out from time to time but a reboot always brings the sound back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] majixx11:
I absolutely love this ROM! Most things are working for me except that I cannot connect to my email through the app. I could get it on Slim 4.3 but since I switched to slimkat I cannot. It's an exchange email. Has anyone else had this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverender326:
Fingers crossed bluesleep wakelock is fixed on today's build. :):):)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] foxnutz:
I have had no problems with my exchange email on any of the 4.4 releases. You sure you have all of the account info correct?
