Dialer delay fix

Ok, so clearing call logs worked for a little while but the lag came back. I could not find any definite answers from Google...crazy I know! :D I've cleared data and cache just about anywhere I could find in relation to making calls in the application manager such as Phone, Phone info, and etc. I've even tried clearing cache and dalvik in recovery and nothing worked! But when I came across Dialer Storage, every buttons were grayed out, such as clear data, clear cache, and etc except "Force stop". After little more research, found out this little app apparently backs up SMS, picture messages, and call history then stores it.

I think I may have stumble upon a fix. YMMV... since I back up all my data with Ti-back up, I don't need the phone to do the same, plus it uses your precious storage...so I did the unthinkable and pressed "Force stop!" Since then I'm having no delay when making calls! And no issues with the phone or using any other apps.

Settings => Applications manager => All apps => Dialer storage => Force stop.

Hope this helps for anyone who is having this issues, good luck...it is my Christmas present to you! :laugh:

So if I installed 4.3 update and tripped Knox is there anyway I can still get root?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
Of course. You can essentially do everything you could do before updating, using CWM. Just don't try to flash a different boot loader, or you'll brick!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ahoslc:
Would flashing Philz recovery then flashing SuperSu.zip be the easiest way?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
Yes, that's what I did(but I don't have Knox). Just flash Philz tar using Odin and the the latest supersu update using philz.

Well hello stranger...lol.

I moved on to the note3 but kept my epic on for the lady...and so I could still test..lol. But she is tired of me always messing with it. So I grabbed her a s3 and she says she likes the epic better...go figure. Ryan's rom has her hooked..:good:

Anyway...it seems know I have a s3 to play with...so its on. As soon as I get home I'm digging into the threads and stickies to see what makes this baby tick and flashing your rom.

Just wanted to say hi...because of all the help you've given me. Have a good day.See ya in the forums...:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
Hey Gil. Glad things are going well and that you stopped by. Make sure you check to see if she has 4.3 pre-installed or not. If so, you have the Knox boot loader, and that sucks. Let me know if you have any questions/issues. Enjoy!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Gil81:
Just got home buddy and thanks for the heads up about knox... IfI she has it...which from looking at the phone i know its not...or I should say it doesn't.....

are some of the newer s3 coming with knox....from boost..??

And if so...I wonder if we can implement the work around we have for the verizon note 3...might be something somebody more intelligent then me can look into...

really...as far as knox is concerned...i dont care...just like the triangle from what ive read. and besides....i always insure my phones under a side phone insurance company...and accidents happen...lol..

let me know if i have it wrong...but know worries....I'll do my research....but you know me...i'm busy in a bunch of forums now. trying to help, so it might actually be a minute before i can get up to speed on this device....

But im here big guy...lets see what u have...lol...im ready to test and see what i can break...hehhehe...

Is there any way to do this via odin? i dont have a microsd at the moment.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
No, there isn't. But if all you're missing is an external sd card, just save it to your internal drive and flash from there.

Anyone have any success setting up tap and pay with Google wallet on this Rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Search is down again.

Anyone running this let me know if the Sprint Zone app works properly on Boost please.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
I'm on Virgin and there is no Sprint Zone. It is basically the equivalent of My Account. I've tried installing the My Account apk onto the Sprint rom but it didn't work so vice versa would probably have the same result.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
I caved and flashed the entire rom.

Boost Zone works fine (I'm on Boost though) on this rom. I'm just trying to find the dependencies to get it working on a Sprint based rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
Its actually not included with the rom. Its an add-on package that the carrier pushes to the phone after activation.

At least on VM it is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Yup, since Boost is a subsidiary of Sprint, I believe it uses the same apps, just 'sees' them differently.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Enabling Boost Network on Sprint based TW ROMS

This thread is about getting the phone to recognize the Boost network on Sprint and Sprint based custom TW 4.3 Roms so that Boost specific apps will work with the Sprint based Roms.

Update:

Finally narrowed down the search to 5 or 6 framework files, possibly a kernel issue and I haven't determined if any build.prop or other files are necessary so far. It's very slow going dealing with flashing a 1 GB rom on a trial and error basis over and over so please be patient.

Update2:

Have it working on stock MK3 rom using kernel, build.prop, one of the ril lib files and a framework file.

I have a feeling this will not be a flashable solution but hopefully will be able to insert the necessary files into a custom rom (before flashing) to allow access to the Boost network directory.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
Shining example of why I love this forum. A user asked if this was possible and you are going above and beyond to make it happen. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

[MENTION=5361082]marcran75[/MENTION] Wondering how this is going to display on virgin mobile. What rom are you running right now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
I was wondering the same but I figured we would cross that bridge once you actually got it working. I'm running the stock rom that [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION] put up. Its basically the same rom but on the Sprint rom I get the hotspot and that's why I use it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Do you remember if this version displays Virgin Mobile as the connected network? Just wondering.

There is a separate Hotspot mod btw. CrawRJ released one for stock MK3. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2224083

I'm sending you a PM with the file to flash.

A couple of things:

- Doesn't work with KT kernel. I've been fighting with the kernels to get this working and I'll deal with that later.

- It flashes stock kernel overwriting whatever you're running now but should also work if you flash to the DKP kernel.

- I suggest you are near a wifi in case you need to update profile and prl if the network won't connect to fix it.

Lastly, none of the above matters as long as you make a backup first. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
I don't think the hotspot mod will work. It says for "native" hotspot and VM doesn't have a native hotspot app. Back when I had the EVO 3D they did. There was supposed to be a $15 charge to use it but I discovered that I was able to use it without paying or making any modifications. Since then they don't offer a hotspot service unless you buy their portable hotspot. Making a backup now to try what you sent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Boost Network

Sprint to Boost Network

This mod will enable native Boost network on our Sprint based 4.3 TW roms.

INSTALL NOTES

:

- Make a backup!!! Do not install this unless you are familiar with flashing mods, creating and recovering backups.

- This flashes stock kernel overwriting whatever you're running now but should also work with DKP kernel if you flash to that afterwards.

DKP Kernel thread is HERE

- When this is installed, I suggest you have wifi available in case you need to update profile and prl if the network won't connect to fix it.

Google Gallery and Camera

Does anyone having a lagging issue when open up stock gallery app? Sometime it takes 3-4 seconds before the gallery open ups for me.

Anyway, in case anyone interested, found this stock Google camera/gallery app that works perfectly without flashing or MOD on this ROM. Just install it like any other apk. All of the feature, especially Sphere, works perfectly. I like having both camera and gallery for different features. Enjoy!

PS...with the Google camera, you can use volume buttons to take photos!

I flashed the Barebones 4.3 ROM and this mod but was not able to get data. The update profile command led to a connection error. I reverted to a backup from a 4.1.1 ROM and the phone worked fine. I don't know if it's relevant but the phone was not activated prior to installing the 4.3 ROM.

Should this mod work with Barebones 4.3 to get me working on Boost Mobile?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Did you flash the mk5 modem also?

The mk3 may work but I know the mk5 was released for boost.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spearoid:
well I'm not sure if the difference is the fact that this phone has been activated already, but I just wiped and reflashed Barebones and only flashed the MK3 modem this time without the Boost mod, and I have data.

But I didn't even know there was an MK5 modem, nor that it was Boost-specific. Makes me think I should find that and flash it before getting too carried away restoring all my apps.

If I have data without flashing the mod is it safe to assume that I shouldn't flash the mod?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
The only reason I did that was so users could use the Boost specific apps. Other than that, it's not really necessary to have.

---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------

And that mod was for use on Sprint roms. You wouldn't need it for this one anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spearoid:
yeah, that's cool...thanks for the info. Flashed MK5 and all is still well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
Boost phones can actually run most all of the Sprint modems. I've tried them all but a few. Some ROMs are now being made that are modem specific. I think that's where a lot of the confusion is for VM and Boost users.

This post is quoted from Android Forums by XDA member Mr. Struck. It gives some good information on modems and I hope it helps answer some questions.

I read awhile back that linking to other forums is frowned upon so instead, I'm going quote the info that was given.

Original post quote taken from AF by XDA member [MENTION=5273002]Mr. Struck[/MENTION] Thanks for a great post, buddy. :good:

""""Thanks man! Just to clear up one more thing about modems/radios, I think this will help; the naming convention is as follows:

First letter=year of build (M=2013)

Second letter=month of build (K=November)

Final number=day of month

So MK3 and MK5, Sprint and VM/Boost respectively, are only a couple of days apart, as in Samsung released the working build for Sprint and then promptly released ours. Therefore, builds that have virtually the same name for the same generic designation phone (in our case SPH-L710) are essentially the same modem/radio. I can pretty much guarantee this will happen again when "official" KitKat is released by Samsung. A word of warning when that happens though, from what I've read, I would be willing to bet that taking the "official" update to 4.4.x will be one of the worst things a rooted user can do. In general, one of the golden rules for root users is to avoid OTA's. And in this case, with the combination of Knox and SELinux being set by default to Enforcing (instead of Permissive), regaining root might be extremely hard, and I also suspect that devs who focus on TW based ROMs might start to jump ship as well, which will be a bad combination for the segment of the rooted community who like the TW version of things. Remember, development is hindered or encouraged by two main factors: devs owning the device in question, and the degree of cooperation from the OEM's. AOSP development will probably keep going strong, but even that might start to tail off a bit, due to the age of the SGS3. Just my two cents, ChainFire (who has predicted dire things for the rooted community in general when Android 5.0 releases) will probably come up with some genius innovation, but enjoy the current state of development while you can!""""
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Carfanatic:
I just tried this today using TWRP 2.7 downloaded all files needed and followed everything in order listed and installed the mk5 modem just to make sure I wouldn't have any other problems and all I get is the phone freezes on the Samsung Galaxy SIII screen and never goes further.

Going to try just the rom and nothing else see what I get will update again if it changes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Don't use 2.7, it has some serious issues. Try v2.6.3.1, it seems to be one of the better versions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Carfanatic:
I was coming straight from ICS after flashing the phone from sprint to boost and only have 2.7 around going to try to go to Philz latest and hope it works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Carfanatic:
I changed to Philz latest and it at least is booted up and running now the only problem I have had thus far is Preparing Network never goes away.

It makes calls and everything seems to work just it stays up in the notifications all the time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Are you running the mk3 or mk5 modem?

If so, try updating profile and prl but you will probably need to be connected to wifi if data isn't fully working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Carfanatic:
I am using the MK5 modem it wont let me update profile or prl because it says ""Session in progress. Please try again later.""

3G is working fine and calling out and receiving calls works fine MMS I am still working on because Philz doesn't seem to have a fix permissions option so guess I will have to go to yet another one.

It does the Preparing Network all the time even when I am connected to wifi so still can't update prl or profile then either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
What rom did you come from, did you do a full wipe including internal SD?

I seem to recall something but don't remember what to fix that. Try wifi advanced settings, toggle auto network switch a couple of times and leave it off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Carfanatic:
Yes after I couldn't get the flash to work with the other recovery I had tried to do a full wipe and then after installing Philz I did another full wipe of everything before trying again just encase.

I came from stock rooted md4 ICS since it makes the flash from sprint to boost much easier being on ICS.

tried the auto network toggle a few times and left it off which it was already by default I am guessing still the same as before.

It really wouldn't matter to me if it was my phone but it's my girlfriends phone know she will nag constantly till it goes away :)

Sure it will be fine while she is at work tomorrow but will for sure have to do something after she gets out of work.

When asking for help you should provide as much info as possible. The more info we have the better we can help. Have you checked MD5 checksum? What recovery are you using? Did you download directly to your phone? It's usually best to download to your computer and then transfer file to your phone.

I think its a rom issue ever since I flashed wifi fix it happens but its fine on my nandroid backup moar rom.

Im on boost philz newest version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Ah, gotcha. Try a different kernel and see if it makes a difference too. I wasn't part of the Wi-Fi fix but I think it was a kernel thing. Try one that is more current.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
The wi-fi fix is actually just the stock kernel. When 4.3 was first released for the S3 I believe they were using at&t kernel and it was causing rotation issues as well and they later added the "wi-fi fix" patch.

---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------

What size card do you have? The stock kernel doesn't support 32 or 64gb cards.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
That's what I thought. I wasn't around for the 4.3 release for this phone so I missed early development and that's why I suggested a different kernel for the SD issue. Good call on the SD size issue too in case that's it. He should go to either the DKP or Ktoonez custom kernel would resolve that too. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] allrockedout:
I was using moar rom and finally flashed stock kernel and not having any issues, I have a 64gb exfat. Only issue now is twrp 2.7.0.0 storage is showing 0. I think it's a exfat or 64gb issue. Not sure why they haven't implemented this in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Because this phone only supports "up to 32 GB" SD cards.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
A lot of ppl have been having issues with TWRP 2.7.0.0. You should revert to an earlier version or maybe switch to philz recovery. I'm using 64gb card with no issues. I'm also running MOAR.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] allrockedout:
Your right twrp has problems made a nandroid backup and when I restored I couldn't use my internal storage had to reflash back to stock. I'm not used to so many problems. My last device was at&t s3 I guess there's more development going on there. Sorry off topic some what.

From what I'm reading on the Sprint 4.4.2 threads we're going to need it to update. May not be any other way to get 4.4.2. [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION] has been busting tail since early Friday morning trying to get the OTA to boot without the firmware and hasn't had any success.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
Here's the link. I personally think [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION] will figure it out, so I'll wait, even if the OTA drops between now and then. I'd rather not have Knox personally. If it means staying on 4.3, so be it. Suits me just fine anyhow. You can also tar back to MG2 and take the official 4.3 MK5 OTA as well, if you want to be official before 4.4 drops for Boost/VM. Just another way to skin the cat :) Enjoy, and let me know if you have any issues.
