[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
That could explain it. That's why I asked what does it say on the back of the phone underneath the battery. T999V will get just fine reception here on T-Mo. Even the Verizon S3 gets fine signal on T-Mo. :cyclops: The reason I asked to do Stock was to replace the Camera Firmware in a different partition. Doing Root66 is sufficient. You don't have to do Stock then Root66. Try CM 10 for T999V on top of the Root66.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] damngood98:
Hopefully I explained it sufficiently...the model number is listed as sgh-t999......it's further down where I see just "999v"
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes you did. The V tells me it indeed is a the Canadian Model.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] damngood98:
What the crap.....ok, this is a whole new realm for me. Would you expect cm10 to give a functioning camera? Would flashing a stock 999v img be of any benefit to me? I'm not sure I can call the insurance company to complain about this particular problem, lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
They Flipped you a V model in place of your T999. So you do have a valid grouse against the Insurance company. Now given that V does have LTE antenna, I'd say the phone will get better data speeds.

As to CM, yes it will give you functional camera. You could also try the AOSP Camera App as well. Flashing T999v.img will help restore correct firmware. Once the firmware is restored, all custom roms will work fine. (Until some errant kernel borks your firmware.)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scott7175:
New update seems laggy with the stock kernel threw ktoonz on and it fixed that issue
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] abc123pro:
So it isn't just me. I could barely install a few apps from the play store without freezing up. Will try another kernel!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirogu325:
For a first stable it isn't bad but it's still lacking. I guess I was spoiled by the last SlimBean version and all its features. Face Unlock still doesn't work. Thanks to Google and a major change they did in KitKat, there is no Flash support as we knew back in ICS/JB. I know there's a hacked Flash only to be used with Dolphin, but I tested it and still dislike that browser a lot. Only other option for Flash is the bloated Firefox Beta. Meh. Also (maybe not ROM related), in QuickPic, pics and videos I delete, actually stay. Annoying. Well, I guess I shall wait for the next stable on this one. It still needs more time in the oven. Still, they're doing a great job.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] damngood98:
would it matter which canadian img i flash? none appear to be working, they all fail rather quickly

moving on to trying cm10...will report back

Fresh install of t999 img (not canadian, odin will not flash them on my phone), full wipe, install cm10, camera still will not "connect"

i appreciate your help but it would appear i need to send this one back....thank you again and my apologies for getting so off topic

Last edit: correct me if i'm wrong but wouldn't odin flashing an image wipe your internal memory? i was under the impression the img wrote itself over the phone...all of my files prior to odin flashing are still there. Is there any correlation with that and my problem at hand or am i just grasping at straws on this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] killj0y:
Does anyone know if the camera works in this update? What about the laggy kernel. I plan to update since the last 4.3 build is randomly rebooting on me lately.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes the Odin flash wipes System and Application Data Partition. However, your files in particular reside on a different partition. So they do survive the flash.

Yes the Camera works fine. I wouldn't know about the Kernel since I use KT747.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] killj0y:
Does kt747 work well? Any known issues? What version and up officially supports 4.4.2?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scott7175:
1-28 is the latest and it runs good for me
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Yes... Just switched over to SlimKat 4.4.2, KT747_3.4.74. My issue seems to be intermittent.

[EDIT] Sorry... WIFI issues... connects after reboot; refuses to connect after approx. 60 mins, or when moving from 1 AP to another.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Um. No. You are supposed to grab the ATT version dated 2014-01-28 from here.

Edit - For Slimkat I assume you are using RC3 Stable Luigi Linked up the page.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Yeah, I installed the 1/28/2014 right after I submitted that post... and yes, that's the SlimKat I'm running. (See attached)

I'm thinking I need to install the latest, greatest radio. :rolleyes:

EDIT2 - See attached for error message.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Hi, Perseus... If you would please, sir, take a look at my attachments in the above post, and let me know what you think.

TIA
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Don't try WPS it has issues. Just try to manually connect to the AP. Also check the box in Advanced Wireless Settings that avoid poor connection and another one for WiFi Optimization.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Ok, so I enabled the advanced options as suggested, and tried to

manually

configure an AP that was already listed and received "Failed to save network". Also tried to create a new AP connection and received the same error. :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Remove all APs and then try to add a good stable connection.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
I tried that as well and received "Failed to forget network" (see attached). Very weird...:confused:

I believe I'll try a dirty reflash (to get back to the stock kernel), then try a clean reflash if that doesn't work out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Don't know what's the issue with your wireless setup. Try that dirty flash and let me know how it goes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Tried the dirty flash to no avail. Even tried a suggestion by this member...

No go! :( I guess it's time to recede to Jump St.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Forget all APs. Please wipe everything. Do factory Reset and then Flash just the Rom and Gapps. Do not restore any app data unless you have wireless. Test wireless first with manual configuration for one AP only.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Yeah, that's the plan, as well as my original procedure at initial flash. Everything worked well, then WiFi deteriorated.

I can only attribute that to one of two things:

When I went from stock kernel to KT (1/28 version), or

When I flashed the d2tmo build.prop (posted by LuigiBull23).

Those are the only post-flash changes before WIFI.

Another curious note is that I am unable to "forget" any of the APs... it just doesn't work, they just stay listed.:confused:

Thanks again, my friend... I'll let you know how it goes. :cool:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Feature Missing?

Just a quick inquiry... What happened to the "clear all Recent Apps" function?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Google Removed it in KitKat.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Pity... I used that a lot. Now I have to swipe each one to quickly close apps running in the background. :eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
I honestly don't see the need for a kill all button as it actually does more harm than good.. I for one commend them for removing what I strongly believe to be a useless feature.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
I can respect that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:
Install LMT launcher and you can have a kill all slot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Ok, Perseus... I'm back to stock everything (rom, kernel, gapps) and did not configure my Google account... WiFi worked perfectly right off the bat, detecting all of my APs.

Next step, go to latest KT747... I'll keep you apprised.

EDIT: I will configure my Google account and restore my user apps first. :cowboy:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Restore All apps and Google account then check the APs. Reboot and check again. Don't go to KT just yet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Done. All apps (and user data) restored... WiFi working well, detecting all available APs and successfully connecting to selected ones.

I'm still on the stock kernel... I planned on switching the SELinux to permissive, then going to KT, but I'll wait to hear from you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Try BMS Kernel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Ok. What are the most relevant advantages over stock kernel with this rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] killj0y:
Yea I'd like to know this too :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Perseus, ol' friend... I haven't received a reply to my last query, so I'll assume you're busy. I'm gonna go ahead and follow your suggestion... BMS, here we go! :cowboy: :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scott7175:
The difference is that the kernel builders add different tweaks and preference for be bit battery life or performance or perhaps a mix of both just depends on the builder and there usage of the kernel they built
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Thanks for the reply, but that wasn't really my question. My fault, guy... I was asking Perseus71 for his direct experience with BMS... I should have PM'd him. :angel:

4.3 mini-FAQ

Q) I'm stuck at the boot logo and/or a boot loop!

A) Make sure you use TWRP 2.5.0.0. TWRP 2.6 and other recoveries can cause boot loops & hangups

Q) Root doesn't work!

A) From a clean build you need to enable root access for Superuser itself. This is different from 4.2.2 in which Superuser by default had root access on a new install. To do this, go to Settings -> Developer options -> Root access. If an app attempts to request root access before Superuser itself has access, it may cause problems with that app in the future where root requests are silently denied.

Q) Titanium Backup isn't restoring apps!

A) Change the backups folder to storage/emulated/legacy.
