Sounds like its time to Odin back to stock, as long as you are not on the newest MJB bootloader. Back up everything on internal sd card that you want to keep to your PC, Odin to stock and re root. Should be good to go
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] edtonn:
And what if I'm on the newest bootloader? I had issues previously with Task's ROM and went back to stock...and did the OTA unfortunately
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JamFan05:
Sorry, not sure what to do then. Just DO NOT downgrade through Odin, it will hard brick your phone for sure. I don't think anyone has released an Odin flashable 4.3 .tar file. Sorry I couldn't be more help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] edtonn:
No worries, that's what I figured. Posted on the Slim forums too, hoping someone can help out...

I've been having some issues with the camera on the 4.4.2 1.7 beta. It tells me the camera cannot connect. I have to reboot my phone just to make it work. I can't even use third party camera apps. I got this log here, hope it can help!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] m1batt1:
With the reboots and the fact that you're lock button seems so sensitive it could be a hardware issue.

I know I had trouble like that on my old captivate. The power button would "push" itself. Or wouldn't work at all. Samsung has a habit of soldering the whole button onto the board which with the way its built seems to sometimes catch dirt and either keeps it from making contact when pushed or makes it uber sensitive.

Just a thought.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] edtonn:
Thanks - that thought occurred to me too. Might try to unscrew it & check out the internals.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] m1batt1:
On my cappy I had to take it apart and use come electrical contact cleaner to clean it out. I would spray it into the button then push it repeatedly and repeat the process. Sometimes it helped sometimes it didn't.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flatherskevin:
is there a way to get rid of the gmail icon on the lockscreen on the 1.8 weekly?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaY_III:
Its a dash clock extension.

From the lock screen, swipe it down and you should see a gear show up. Click it and edit your lock screen as you see fit
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] m1batt1:
Anybody else have their phone lock up after taking pictures on 1.8? I saw on the site that they are building 1.9 because some patches didn't merge before building 1.8. Perhaps those patches fix camera?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nirogu325:
Logcat post for SlimKat Beta 1.9

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]

Logcat provided: I reported this issue on the 12th of this month. I hope the developer sees into it this time as it hasn't been fixed yet on BETA 1.9 SlimKat.

Summary:

A friend of mine who has d2att tested up the weekly 1.9 for Android 4.4.2. His only issue (which was also present with 4.3 builds) is whenever he plugs in his headphones or any of his other audio cables he loses all audio. It doesn't matter if he unplugs his headphones/cables, there is no audio until he reboots the device. He does not have this issue with TouchWiz ROMs. He sent me this logcat in hopes that the developer sees into it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flatherskevin:
i have never once heard or experienced this problem. chances are its only and issue with his device.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nirogu325:
If it was a hardware problem he would have the very same issue even with TouchWiz ROMs and that is not the case.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flatherskevin:
yes i am having those issues

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

yes but sometimes, and its weird, ROMs and kernels dont work the same on all d2att devices. for instance i cant use bms or kt747 kernels because they crash my phone no matter what i do, but others have a fine time with it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nirogu325:
That is what logcats are for. That is why I tagged the developer, so he can see what's going on exactly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flatherskevin:
is anyone else having lots of random reboots with 1.9?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nsmith4:

Mine's running smooth so far (knock on wood) my only inconvenience is having to manually reconnect to Bluetooth every time I get in my car.

It's working great so far.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Same here! Everything is smooth and looks good. Took a while to find some of the settings, but I found most of what I needed. :laugh:

Just wish the BT issues in 4.4 could be solved. Works good but just refuses to auto-reconnect.

Thanks Slim Team!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SyNRGz:
I have had similar issues with BT Reconnect across several 4.4 ROMs. I am currently using BMS Kernel (ver. 120913) with excellent BT reconnect. BMS 121513 did not reconnect the same, so I stayed with 120913.

I hope this works for you too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flatherskevin:
that is most definitely my problem. i will clean flash right now
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flatherskevin:
that is whats happening to me and whenever i try to use external camera apps like snapchat or something it freezes and reboots
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] athdaraxen:
I've still got weird camera issues happening on 1.9. When using Snapchat and the screen locks it will automatically reboot. Same for the camera. I grabbed logs of each occurrence. Hopefully it helps!

how do you get rid of the gmail symbol on the lockscreen in 1.9?

That sounds like something in the Dashclock widget. Should be done sort of notification to disable
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SyNRGz:
Dash Clock settings

This is configured in DASHCLOCK. From the lockscreen you should see a settings icon or attempt to add a DASHCLOCK widget to your home screen. This will get you to the settings also. You can also effect the DashClock behavior in System Setting, Security, Widgets...

I hope this helps you get the effect you are looking for... your question inspired me to change mine too...

Dirty and working good. Haven't tried BT yet. Getting there, thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Working well. One question and one request, if I may:

First, is there a way to set quiet hours? I see that it can be toggled on and off via quick settings, but is there a way to set the hours?

The minor request is to incorporate the "kill all" button on the recent apps screen. I use it quite a bit, and I believe it's in the Cyanogenmod 4.4 beta.

Thanks for the great job.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nsmith4:
To set quiet hours go to settings> sound> advanced options> quiet hours or long press the quick tile.

Hi all, S3 always get stuck after I select Reboot or Power off.

Hi,

Upgraded to Slim 4.3/Gapp, and followed all the proper step with installation. I have Team Win's Touch recovery 2.5 installed.

And it looks like when I use the power button to choose power options, Reboot system, Reboot into Recovery or power off, the phone will get stuck.

Did I miss something during wipe and format?

Thanks.

Bell SG3 4.3:confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JoshReuben:
Can't answer you specifically, but I know there are issues associated with different recovery versions. I'm using CWM 6.0.4.3 with no issues on my Rogers i747 and the latest Slim... just trying to stay ahead of the random reboots that drove me off 4.3.2...

Suggest you research the recovery and if in doubt, update to a more recent version of TRWP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jack0131:
Thanks for your reply Josh. According to installation instruction, I am suppose to use TRWP 2.5 version. Maybe I should try the CWM and see if the problem goes away.

And now the phone won't recognize my external SD!

Thanks.

I've been flashing away through all of the various SlimBean ROMs quite successfully, but for some reason i can't seem to make the jump to SlimKat successfully. I am using the latest TWRP recovery, doing a clean wipe, and attempting to flash the beta 2 w/ the gapps provided in the SlimROMs website, but get a failure during the flash. Am on the MG2 bootloader ... and am hesitant to upgrade to the latest, unless necessary. didni't see anywhere in this forum that it was required. Help? thx, in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nsmith4:
If you got your version of TWRP from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1793224 then it may not be the the most up to date version. 2.6.3.1 is the most up to date make sure you have that, if not you can use Goo Manager from the play store to install it(menu>install OpenRecoveryScript).

I have the same bootloader as you(AT&T MG2) with TWRP 2.6.3.1 and I have no problem flashing SlimKat. If that's not the issue try re-downloading the rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JET3:
am on v2.6.3.0 of TWRP, when i look at the recovery screen version. attempted update to v2.6.3.1, which was found and available ... downloaded .img file and then i rebooted to recovery and saw no update/change to that screen ... will also make sure i've got the sha1 hashes correct. thx. any other thing i may be missing? TWRP's page appears to show v2.6.3.0 is the latest ... hmmm
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nsmith4:
Ya TWRP hasn't updated our official version to 2.6.3.1 , not sure why. When installing TWRP through Goo Manager it doesn't need to reboot but you should see a toast message saying that the Recovery was installed not sure why it didn't work for you. I'd try again and watch to see if you see the toast pop up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JET3:
i never got the "toast" notification ... just saw the download. i may just go into terminal mode (or adb) and jam the downloaded .img file into my recovery that way. i am suspecting that the download path (/storage/emulated/0/goomanager/) that i've got in goo manager may have something to do w/ it, but i see my v2.6.3.0 img file right next to the freshly downloaded v2.6.3.1 .img file. can you pls let me know what you've got for a download path in goomanager? when connected to my PC, i see the .img file in SGH-I747/Internal Storage/goomanager directory. any mods suggested? thx.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nsmith4:
I have the same download path as you. I've heard other people having issues with the Goo Manager app recently so that may be it. You can try to manual Terminal way. If you want to make sure it fully downloaded this is my md5 sum: 82fc7090eb682da62259b9bca4a3c0ea

The newest build is a huge step up stability - wise from the previous Slimkat build, and from 4.3.2 which was rebooting hourly. Beautiful job!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
With a few days off over the holidays, I flashed a few other 4.4 ROMs just out of curiosity. It didn't take me long to restore back to SlimKat. I haven't found any that have any other features that this one lacks (except for my beloved "kill all" button), and many lack what's found here. Just wanted to give a shout out and say thanks for the great job.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tobiascuypers:
Just a quick question, does 4.4.x have the hardware key remap feature from 4.3? That's the only thing keeping me making the leap to kitkat
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
I don't believe so. I would expect it in a later release. I haven't seen it in any 4.4 ROM I've flashed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JET3:
The only h/w key remapping i've seen in this v4.4 rom is within the Nova Launcher settings, in the Gestures and Buttons. bummer, i was hunting for these too, just last night.

I was also anxious to hear whether any of the BT connect/disconnect stuff was better ... it wasn't in my limited experience ... bummer. Otherwise, very predictable, stable behavior, I thought. Cheers!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Threezees:
So I was messing around, and unlocked the Chamber of Secrets. Does it do anything at this point? It's checked but as far as that I'm assuming it's not fully implemented yet? Also, the only real bug that I've seen, which only appears to be on AOSP ROMS (not CM) is concerning the Blacklist. When it's on, you can only block calls from BOTH private numbers and numbers not in the contact list. I usually just block private/unknown numbers. So, that's the only bug I've found and it's present in all AOSP-based ROMS though again, it functions correctly on CM ROMS.

EDIT: Nevermind, found out how to use the Chamber.
