Just leave your data on or keep it at 2G. Going to insane methods to save 10 minutes of battery time is just not worth the hassle. If you are doing this to preserve battery, look at other solutions, such as Greenify or changing your Location settings. Disable wifi scanning even when wifi is off, disable Android Device Manager location lookup. Lower weather update frequencies. Switching data on and off will cause battery drain since the modem has to renegotiate data access every time. The 1 min delay is not OS related, its provider or hardware related.
[Galaxy S III General] icex93:
My modem is XXUGMK6. I think it's the last one available for my country. Do I have to flash any other?

Well, yes, I do it both because it saves battery life and because it reduces the amount of radiations emitted by the device. I use all the actions you list but however I'm not satisfied about battery life of this S3 comparing to other phones :( if I always leave turned on data connection 6 hours are the top limit and it's quite bad.. So I decide to turn it on when I really need it.

Then, as regarding your «provider or hardware related» issue I really don't think so because I test both stock and other roms and all worked fine, data turn on in few seconds (2-3); that's the reason why I suppose it's ROM releated issue. Maybe it's not compatible with my modem, as [MENTION=4799079]lcrponte[/MENTION] said.

What are modem are you currently using guys?
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
It's definately not rom related, I usually only need to charge my phone every day and a half, sometimes every 2nd day. I am a developer who works from home, so I use my phone for work. I have wifi always on, data always on. I get an avg of 3 hours screen time per charge. You have something else happening there, either an app keeping your device awake, or something that chews through your data causing the battery drain. I have tested the battery using all the available kitkat kernels and still find Yank's kernel giving the best performance/battery ratio at his default settings. If you are running BBM, Whatsapp, Skype or other instant messengers, I suggest you have a look their. BBM is notorious for being poorly written and being a battery hog. Also look at apps you don't need that uses cloud based services. Do you really need dropbox for example? If not, remove it. It's pretty easy to get bogged down by installing tons of apps you don't use, most of which are ad supported, which again uses your data connection.
[Galaxy S III General] icex93:
Unfortunately I don't run neither BBM nor Skype... Only whatsapp that is greenified. I have to see deeply battery stats to say what really drains my battery. However, Thanks for advices.

But I want to understand: what really causes this delay? I'm sure that if I flash another ROM the problem doesn't exist, so?
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
Test it with another rom, you won't be able to say for sure. The delay is usually cause by your device negotiating the connection with your provider. Depending on signal and range, it could be more or less of a delay. I find that when in a moving vehicle, the switching between bands can cause a delay like that.
[Galaxy S III General] icex93:
Ok, I'll test it. But ROM that I tested in the past (PAC 4.3.1 and NeatRom 4.4.2) hadn't this kind of problem.. However I'll check it when I have time... Btw thanks for your support [MENTION=736370]cornelha[/MENTION], I really appreciate it :)

The latest daily has restarted my phone randomly about 4 times now. Anyone else with this issue or should I do a clean flash? I've never had problems with updates so I'm assuming its a common bug.
[Galaxy S III General] Yeti47:
Had no issues with mine (omni and boeffla kernel) and haven't seen any reports of random reboots. You could try to format system first, then reflash omni, gapps and SuperSu again. Good luck...
[Galaxy S III General] Daan518:
Did a clean install and there seem to be no problems. Locking the phone with the power button seems slightly delayed compared to previous builds but that's all.

Hey guys,

I encountered a verry annoying bug today. When I had a "Available WiFi network" notification with quick glance and I had a phone call during that time I culdn't answer it. The notification stays on the screen instead of the dialer...

And about the non intrusive dialer it does not work correctly too...it show up at the bottom but you can't use the app in the background.

Audio ouput works via TRRS, not via TRS

I seem to have the same problem. Fresh wipe and installation did not work for me. I use Omnirom latest nighly on ART runtime, TWRP, latest SuperSU and Boeffla Sound. It also happens without SuperSU and Boeffla Sound installed. DSP settings are always off.

When I plug in a regular stereo minijack (output to amplifier or headphones) and play music from a widget on my homescreen, I can only have audio on my homescreen.. Audio stops when I go to the app drawer or turn off the screen. It starts playing again when I'm back on the homescreen. I can also have audio in the music application, but when I go back to the homescreen or turn the screen off, it stops playing. It occurs with Neutron Music Player, Google Music and Omnirom Music Player.

BUT when I use my stock Samsung earbuds (with inline controls and microphone TRRS), everything works fine again! The issue only seems to occur when sound goes to an audio-only minijack. Any ideas on what is happening?

[Galaxy S III General] noodles249uk:
long term lurker here, loving the ROM up until now its been perfect!

I have started to encourter a problem though, my I9300 suddenly freezes when performing tasks, and then takes a little while to respond. Sometimes its something as simple as unlocking the phone, other times its when i load apps or write text messages.

I am running the Omnirom Nightlie from 12th Feb, with GAapps and CM11. i have wiped the phone in CM11 including dalvik and reinstalled three times, im currently running the bare minimum apps etc to ensure that its not an app causing the problems, but i have had it this morning

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] mykos5:
From a week or so to today it has been happening to me lots of times. I update the rom everyday and I has been using PA Micro Gapps.

Yesterday I tried the yank kernel to see if it could help with the freezes but it didn't solved the problem.

[Galaxy S III General] pippoaacc:
One simple question. In previous nightlies I used to flash the Photosphere Camera from Banks Gapps because I found it more stable. But since I saw new commits on Camera2 branch, I want to try stock omni camera again. When I flashed today's nightly I still have Photosphere even if I didn't flash it. Is it enough to replace camera apk from omni zip to be completely stock again?

[Galaxy S III General] 9376:
I think you have to delete

And flash cm again.

Otherwise the camera will be automatically flashed with each cm update.

And here I was - an Omni user from the beginning of the year that is getting real tired by flickering screens, delays in opening pictures and horrible lag when changing screen orientation. Yesterday I found myself with a webpage that blinked 4-5 times in less than a minute while reading a longer text. (I didn't even touch the phone while reading - the page just came and went by itself)

This for me have reached a point where I'm thinking that I'll go for whatever comes first - Stock 4.4 (still dreaming but right now I'll go back to stock or stock based the minute it is released) or fixed graphics in Omni.

- Looks like the latter might be quite a bit closer atm. :good:
[Galaxy S III General] Faber-92:
I have similiar issues: graphic is not fluid in all situations (very smooth for example in chrome but not in whatsapp, tapatalk and even nova launcher, and other apps), display flickers sometimes when I swipe down notification bar... All these problems weren't in previous aosp release such as CM10.2 (haven't tried CM11 recently but I'll do to test).

I reinstalled the ROM after a month or so of opendelta updates and the situation got a little better.

Moreover I sometimes suffer from random reboot both with stock and custom kernel.

I hope these problems will be solved early because omnirom is really nice and I really like the team approach to the work, all is transparent.

If a clean install helps it's user space issues, nothing to do with the rom itself.

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] Faber-92:
My sentence does not mean that issues are solved. Situation is a little better because general system smothness is improved, but just because I did a fresh install; flickering while swiping down notification bar is sometimes present and scrolling in many apps is not smooth.

I tried installing just few apps to verify if problems were caused by the great number of app prevoiusly installed (nearly 100 counting system apps) but I did not notice any improvement.

Anyone facing audio problem when playing NFS Most Wanted?
[Galaxy S III General] f0xy:
This is correct, not to be seen as comparing, but I don't see these with CM, have they patched something?
[Galaxy S III General] gosa:
Probably the same user space that never ever caused that type of problem on the stock rom, right?

Really - I don't get it...

It is a commonly known fact that Samsung is holding things back that prevent more or less any rom that is not based on stock from having the same properties as the stock rom when it comes to graphics performance. We all know this.

But even so there are people living in a constant denial defending the rom like it is an incarnation of God himself.

I'm with Omni right partly because I want kitkat and partly because I'm to lazy to change back, even though it irritates the h-ll out of me having to watch the constant flickering when browsing the web. Now with the recent work that seems to be quite promising with regards to graphics I might actually consider staying, unless Samsung releases their own version of kitkat first...
[Galaxy S III General] gosa:
Reading my post again I like to add that I really appreciate the work the devs do with this rom - make no mistakes about it. They are doing a great job and I sincerely hope that they will keep on doing that for quite some time to come. But that doesn't mean that I don't think it's quite a bit unhealthy to deny the problems that are actually there and refuse to discuss them...
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Sorry it isn't my intention to ignore short comings of non-Samsung roms, but to blame the rom for somethings that are fixed, or at very least improved, by a clean flash is equally foolhardy.
