I got my sgs3 about 8 months after it came out. Att screwed us when we had our notes with an update and we came to Verizon and got the sgs3. This is the first phone that I did not want to trade back in a year. We always got new phones after a year.... not this time. Hell, even our 2 year contract is up and I don't really see myself getting a new phone just yet. This one is still going strong.

I'm in the exact same predicament! I noticed this week that Verizon has a double data offer; maybe the data wars will strike again before we have upgrade. The new xlte may make that possible.

Anyone having LTE problems on the 10/30 nightly?

It won't get LTE, only 3G.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] smelkus:
I'm downloading this 10/31 nightly now. When I tried the last M build I had MMS and SMS issues. The other thing that died was USB dock audio. Here's hoping!

Just hangouts or the new messenger app too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vforaci:
I'm on m11 and had a weird issue. Received a mms and it wouldn't download, couldn't send either, kept receiving no apn error. Cleared hangout data, uninstalled all updates with no success. Checked the apns in hangouts and it was set to metropcs, never checked it before so I have no idea if it was always this way. Was going to restore a backup from last week but tried to reboot first and it started working again.

I can receive MMS on Hangouts but it can't send. I've tried adding APNs and saving but they don't show up. I'm defaulted to metropcs. I'm on the 10/31 nightly.

Were you running 10/30?..looks like there were some reverts on the 10/30 build affecting camera for us. 10/29 would have been the last working build with camera if its the culprit.

[MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION] ...... I just noticed something with hangouts that I never saw happen before. When I open hangouts, everything is fine. When I open a message, my proximity sensor turns on.

Why would the sensor come on for text messages? Do you see this happening? Could this be why when we exit out we are taken to the home screen instead of the previous app?

I see your busy with camera issues, fix that first, but look into this if you can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rhcreed:
Tell me how and I'll get you a log..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Syslog from the playstore.

Reboot, launch camera get crash, open syslog, take log, upload/post or email to me @ my username @ Gmail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PSG4m3r:
I haven't updated to any of the latest nightlies, but I found this to fix my issue in recent CM versions with the S3. For anyone who has the "Cannot connect to camera" error, I found a solution after a little bit of research. Here's a simple fix:

Download the attached file, extract it to /system/cameradata, then change the permissions to (rw- r-- r--). Once the permissions are changed, you should have a working camera :) (Backup the original files just in case.)

F it all to h3ll... Now I can't get it to fail.... Today was my son's second birthday and I missed the family singing Happy birthday to him cause the camera crashed as I tried to commit the video (hit the stop recording button). You can imagine how happy my wife was about that... So I'm tempted to just go to a Verizon store and get a droid turbo and leave it stock so everything just works. Very frustrated tonight... Ready to break up with my phone. :( thx for listening!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Yeah its always when you need it this phone let's you down. Has happened to me a few times and is why I have my wife record those moments with her iPhone.

You basically have to reboot this phone often if you want it to function the best.

Any way to schedule a reboot (like everyday at 3am)?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
Well boys, it's been real, but in going back to stock. I've given cm a go for a couple of years but the lock ups, bad battery life, etc have never cleared up for me. Unless someone knows of a stable version that runs better than stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
No cm rom will ever be 100% stable/functional as stock unless you're running a nexus. Even then **** happens.

You'll be back.. Nobody can stand touchwiz for more than a few days/weeks after running an AOSP rom. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:

Run slimkat 7.0. Not the newest, but it's about two and a half months old and it's the most flawless rom I've ever run. Better than TW or any version of aosp. Don't go to TW. You'll be back. He wasn't kidding.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
What is slim cat?

Are there any really stable cm versions that I can just go back to?

In terms of priority, I am looking for stability, battery life, then features.

Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samman82:
It's right here in the forums. Take a look. And you're looking for the same thing as everyone else. I wouldn't say it's the best rom I ever ran if it didn't have those features.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
Downloading it now =)

I'll research it but are there any specific radios that you have found work best with slimkat?

I think I probably should go back to stock first to reset everything, then go to it.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samman82:
Ill take this convo out of the cm thread. Didn't mean to start a back and forth about a different rom in this thread. PM me if you have any questions, or just read through the forum. Good luck!

I'm using the one from 11/5 with no issues.

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

I noticed an interesting and frustrating byproduct of this.

Following mastamoon's suggestion of deleting and re-pairing my phone with my car, I've seen the behavior of my phone and my car attempt to connect, disconnection, and then connect. This happens very quickly and if I'm not paying attention, I don't even notice.

HOWEVER, I had a Tasker profile set up to detect when my phone connected to my car and it would disable the lock screen. Ever since upgrading to newer Nightlies, my Tasker task would intermittently fail. And I think it's because the "enable lockscreen" and "disable lockscreen" tasks were stepping on each other with the connect/disconnect/reconnect thing going on.

After driving me crazy for a few days, I've switched to Llama for this and it's been working well.

Hope that helps anyone suffering through the same problem I was.

Not functional at the moment, just boots to adb.

It may have progressed over the last few hours, so who knows.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
M12 Snapshot is up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gonna need 5.0 Gapps right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
M12 doesnt equal CM12.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
OHHHHHH. My bad! So just regular KK gapps then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Yep, nothing has changed in that regard. I believe M12 will be the final 'stable' cm11 release.

CM12 is buildable for for d2, but not yet bootable. Hopefully we see some bootable builds soon! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Thanks so much for the info [MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION]! And thanks for not getting annoyed with me and my mistake. So excited for Lollipop that it clouds my vision. Thanks for all your work and keeping my old device alive. If you need any testers LMK. Also I have 2 extra 4.1.2 S3's that work but have cracked screens if it helps Development at all, I would kindly donate 1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PSG4m3r:
Are either of these S3s made after Aug 2014? Do they have the NH2 baseband? If so, it would be useful for finding a possible root.

Sent from my SCH-S968C running CM11
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
No they are the originals from whenever they released the S3

On another note MMS is not working on M12 :( When I first installed an MMS went thru fine then I tried Hangouts, no MMS. Then I tried the new Google Messaging app, no MMS. Then I went back to stock messaging app, no MMS. UGGGHHHH! Back to M11 :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PSG4m3r:
Guessing you have verizon s3? It's so hard to find stuff for the straight talk s3 that uses verizon towers. I lost data going to M11 because I need a modem update, but I can't find a download for the modem update anywhere. I'm on the last nightly of d2vzw right now, which was from February I think. No MMS working on that either, but at least I get data :/

Sent from my SCH-S968C running CM11
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Its so weird cuz for some reason on M11 my MMS sends faster than I can ever remember. Even in Hangouts its blazing fast. Even when I was on stock TW it wouldnt send this fast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I just verified that MMS works on both Wifi and LTE on my build from today. That should be equal to CM12.

Really wish we could nail down why some can mms and others cant. Maybe Lollipop and the split of d2 back into carrier specific builds will fix everybody back up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Thanks Masta. I'll try ur build tonight. Is there a way I could send u my ROM so u could look at what makes my MMS work? I guess it doesn't matter though since u have MMS working already.

Have you ever flashed a zip or something regarding a camera or camera hack?

Maybe it's just a setting?

sorry, using google camera right from play store. I'll blow that away and use the stock camera and see if it still happens.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bdr9:
If I wipe the system partition, do I need to reflash gapps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I believe the gapps package installs the apps as system apps, so I am thinking yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PSG4m3r:
Might as well do it, it won't harm your device at all if you install again, it's just apps. If the gapps aren't on system partition, it'll just install over them (reinstall).

I had the camera issue the other day after shooting a video. I wiped cache, force stopped the app, uninstall/reinstall without success. Finally I just kept opening it until I got an error message asking me if I wanted to send a response. I sent it and the problem cleared itself right away. I may have reopened the app as many as 10 times before getting the error message instead of the Cannot Connect to Camera message.

I solve the camera issue by

1 backup current rom

2 flash a TW rom and check camera works

3 restore backup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
It will fail again eventually. Flashing back to a TW ROM works because it includes the Samsung drivers for the camera which AOSP doesn't have BC they are not open sourced. You would be better off trying the Camera I linked a few post ago. Also the One Plus One camera in same forum works well too. Check my threads.

Yep. Camera broke. None of my cameras work now. Wiped cache and dalvik. What now full? Yuck. Maybe a good project while waiting for my daughters softball practice. I've always wanted to do an absolute wipe. Everything even ext. card. Is that a barrel of monkeys? Someone talk me down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Leraeniesh:
Don't have that large of hands, and after messing around with a HTC One Max, 5.5in is my limit.

Nexus 6 is still a great device, and I'd pick up a Moto X if the battery wasn't garbage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Not too bad. It takes a couple hours for me, mostly just waiting though.

However I'd argue there's not much sense in wiping your Ext SD if you're just gonna put the stuff back on. I'd just delete the folders that don't contain stuff like music, movies or pictures. A format doesn't do much more than just deleting folders, since the data is still technically there after "deleting" or formatting the SD card.

This worked for me for now. I just moved the entire DCIM folder into another folder until the reboot. Then I moves only the pics back over and deleted the old folder which I had moved. Is this fully functional, or is there some action I should avoid? I did delete the last video I had taken.
