I'm not certain that the dual pane has been implemented since the merge from 4.3 to 4.4 & 4.4.015 & etc... The OP featured list is shadowed off the 4.3 builds and Scott is rebuilding everything back into his source. It's just real tuff to keep up with considering there have been 3 or 4 merges in the past month or so.

I'm checking into the low earpiece volume. I know you said your volume is turned up but when you're "in call" it has a volume control on its own. I'm sure you probably knew that, but hey, we all overlook the small things from time to time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
Can this be dirty flashed or no. If you are looking into the low call can you also look into the screen delay when phone boots up ...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] easyrider77:
Well folks, I am really puzzled now.

My phone is a Boost Mobile SPH-L710

I have tried CM11 and now this rom and both give the same problems, after the Samsung logo the screen goes black, and nothing happens. I've let it sit for upwards of 15 mins and still nothing.

I have rebooted into recovery and flashed this and cm11 nightly about a dozen times trying different things but still no resolve, so I've exhausted all my ideas as to what could possibly be the issue, so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

I have flashed MG2 stock rom, MD7 stock rom, MK5 rom by jdsingle, and VanirAOSP rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2596366 all with sucess.

I have tried cm touch, cm normal, and philz recoveries and nothing makes any difference.

So I am desperate now, so I'm calling on the xda community in hopes they can help me figure this out.....help please

You have a galaxy s 2. I can't help you there. This is the galaxy s 3 section. I couldn't tell you why the other roms flash but I can tell you this is the wrong section for your device. Sorry

You can dirty flash but Ido NOT recommend it! Dirty flashing does not get rid of old, unused files and they clash with new ones. The new files do NOT replace old ones, especially when they change. I would recommend getting Titanium backup pro or Rom toolbox pro for backup purposes. These are very handy tools, just read my review alone on TiBu. <it's worth its weight in gold & it makes flashing a clean rom, a walk in the livingroom. You can flash your rom, gapps, and apps, then boot into your fully flashed phone with all your apps already installed! I do not own & am not selling these products, just recommending them. If you clean install this rom & have the delay, I will definitely look into it for you. Better yet, I will be able to install it tomorrow for myself to check into any issues.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] easyrider77:
LOL, sorry I have an S3 now, not an s2, and I put d710 by habbit. I'll fix it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gimmeitorilltell:
So you have an SPH-L710 right? If so are you performing a clean install & maybe backup your sd card to format it or put the rom on the phones internal storage to flash it. Also flash it and reboot it WITHOUT flashing gapps and always double check your md5sum match. Let me know, we'll get ya goin. What bootloader are you running also?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] easyrider77:
It is indeed an SPH-L710 On boost mobile.....I've had my s2 so long I got in the habbit of putting SPH-D710......they are so close to thee same only 1 letter off, so I catch myself putting D and not L :)...sorry bout the confusion.

Well I am a little limited on knowledge on some stuf but I am a quick study, and have had some help along the way, so while I'm not near a noob I don't know verything....that being said the phone came packaged with MD7, so I have been trying to flash for the last day or so to cm10x and cm11x, and without any sucess, so I was told if I flashed MG2 I would be ok to then update, so I used this method to get MG2 http://androidforums.com/boost-mobile-galaxy-s3-all-things-root/758586-odin-backup-sph-l710_mg2.html so my guess is I now have the MG2 bootloader ?

I did that about 7 hours ago, so that's ho long I've been plugging at this hehe. I'ma die hard I guess.

I am and always do a clean install at all times, n matter if it's only 5 mins between roms or 5 weeks, I ALWAYS do a clean install.

As for placing the rom on the internal phone mem, that will get erased when you data/factory reset, won't it? If so how do you get the rom on the internal phone mem from recovery to flash it? and also I am in recovery and haven't't flashed any roms yet, I'm kinda stuck there until I figure out how to get a working rom on the phone to get into. I've been flashing from the micro sd card all this time.

I can flash a touchwiz rom and do it I jsut didn't really wanna go that rute just yet, hoping there was a fix for this.

Flashing from the microsd card works with the touchwiz roms I have done and also VanirAOSP rom, they all work fine off the sd card.

As for flashing gapps, gave that up around the 2nd flash I did cause I figured it was a gapps issue, so I decided to jsut do the rom only as to rule out anything else getting in the way so as to make tracking down the issue as easy as possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LocoRobo:
The in call Volume is low on my phone as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gimmeitorilltell:
Let me look into that a bit. I have read on here that there is a newer version of this phone that doesn't play well with the older phones roms unfortunately. HERE is a link about recovery. I'm running MD4 baseband and I feel that most users have better luck with this version too. Just in case here is the modem thread. Also you should make a nandroid of a working rom but if you don't have one use adb sideload to install a rom if you delete your storage. Internal storage does not get deleted on your phone unless you select it to get wiped. I done a quick look to find more about the newer phones but I'm limited on time currently but this may give you an idea of what to search for in the mean time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ksmullins88:
Had a random reboot today. Googled something and phone just reboot and got hung on the boot splash. Had to pull the battery and manually reboot a few times to get it back on.

Aside from that, battery life has improved a bit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
I already flashed the 12/30/13 before you posted the build changes and also did the camera fix. Have no issues with this so far except the low call volume , phone doesn't respond sometimes and delay on the screen when the phone boots up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gimmeitorilltell:
No the camera isn't fixed. I'll add bthornes fix in the next build and give him credits for that as well. I'm still trying to figure out the low call volume for you all too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] easyrider77:
Ahh ok, that's not good news for me really, because it is a new phone....well to me it is.....I just got this, went to best buy and got it friday. It's now Sunday morning. So the new phone thing would make really good sense.

So question then, if the "newer" phones don't play well, is there a way to tell if it's a newer phone or not, such as a serial number or some other number?

Thanks for the info btw, always seems like I get the bad egg of the bunch, kinda stinks for me :(.

Odd thing is it works for some roms, and not others.

So far a list of stuff i have tried:

Roms with a black screen after samsung logo

CM11 nightly latest build

Beanstalk 4.4 nightly build

Cm10.2.0

CM10.1

Roms that have worked fine

jdsingle MK5 Tw rom

ODIN Backup for --> BOOST MOBILE SPH-L710_MG2

VanirAOSP nightly

Fox - Installed fine but had no wifi or 3g/data

The link lists that people are having issues mounting....I'm not having that exactly, although....I have had some wonky sd card mounting weirdness at times with the roms that I could actually get into......it would keep saying "sd cared got un-muonted unexpectedly, remounting" and it would loop like that. The fix was simply go into storage and it stopped. Not sure why it did that.

I also have some weirdness where it sometimes out of the blue dismounts during a file transfer of the roms to the phone. I just remount and it works fine, so dunno, maybe I AM having mounting issues.

I figured mounting issues would be considered all the time. Mine I can fix and it doesn't do it all the time, just now and then.

I am in the process of testing things, so while I'm in testing mode, I might as well give the recovery a try, so I'm downloading now.

I will report back and let you know the outcome of things good, or bad.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gimmeitorilltell:
Easyrider77 I think the Knox boot loader is the difference in the newer phones but I can't swear to it. I have been unsuccessful at finding the page I read about before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] easyrider77:
That's ok I apprecaite your trying.

On a good note though, so far anyways, I got into the carbon 4.3.1 rom that I could not before......with this new recovery they modified it didn't blank screen on me this time.

It is of corse a work in progress but at least I'm gaining ground. Gives me hope now.

Odd thing is I could not install cm11 as it gave me a status 7 error, so that's different as well, because before it to installed but when I rebooted it gave me the blank screen.....this time around with the new recovery it gave me status7 error.

I also in a lot of these roms do not have 3g/data at all, no matter what modem I use......is that an APN issue? If so could you do a quick guide or link to how to get the APN changes needed to get 3g/data working on boost mobile?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Advertize:
It definitely an APN issue. You are flashing a rom that is for Sprint onto a Sprint phone using Sprint APNs. I used to have my S3 flashed to Boost and it was always a battle getting 3G and MMS working. That is a lot easier to fix on a touchwiz rom though because you can access settings that you need to modify by going through the dialer ##3282# and editing your mmsc settings. You do not have a direct link to do that with the dialer on AOSP roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] easyrider77:
Ok cool, I figured it was an APN issue.....so now the question is how do you set it/changeit/fix it on other than touchwiz such as aosp?

I never have the issue in any touchwiz roms I've flashed..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gimmeitorilltell:
Are you still having issues with the sd card?

Man there are probably about 1000 APN's packed into this rom. You can find them in the .zip file located in /system/etc/apns-config.xml. Here are a couple I found for your device with boost. Status 7 is a recovery error where it is looking for a specific device & does not find it. Also are you going into the APN selection & selecting your apn, "the button on the right turns blue" I believe? That's all I can think of currently.

<apn carrier="Boost MMS" mcc="505" mnc="02" apn="mms" user="" password="" server="" proxy="61.88.190.10" port="8070" mmsc="http://mmsc.optus.com.au:8002/" mmsproxy="61.88.190.10" mmsport="8070" type="mms" authtype="3"/>
<apn carrier="Boost Mobile" mcc="505" mnc="02" apn="yesinternet" user="" password="" server="" proxy="" port="" mmsc="" mmsproxy="" mmsport="" type="default,supl" authtype="3"/>
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] easyrider77:
The status7 error you are correct, it's the modified recovery I'm useing, it's probably to old perhaps, so installing KK won't work, but 4.3.1 will work. At any rate I know it works at least for carbon 4.3.1 rom I am currently on. With the other 3 recoveries (pjilz, cm touch and cm normal) while they may be newer and able to install the KK version, they all result in a blank screen after the samsung logo for me. The modified does not, but it also does not have the option to install KK roms as well, so it's a catch 22 sorta thing sadly. Perhaps somone can implement a work or fix for the newer recoveries so we can install KK roms.

The question is though how can I get a working KK rom on this phone right now. As of right now I don't see a way of doing it, simply because I'm out of ideas as to what to do or how to fix it as is most everyone else I have talked to, they are all stumped.

As fr the APN fix, since I have never had to worry about this on my other phones, I always just used an ICS modem and it worked.

That being said I am not even sure where to begin or what to do.....with tuchwiz as i've read you punch in a number with ## stuff in the dial pad and it opens up another menu........you can't do this same process with aosp roms, so where should I go to in the system to get to this menu to change the data info I need to put in?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gimmeitorilltell:
Yeah that is the issue with aosp, we can't dial into phone options unfortunately. I've been trying to figure this out for a while now and a couple of my dev buds starred that the data issue might be something I could fix with a system prop edit. I really haven't gotten much further with it tho. Ok back on track, so you have the md4 radio and not the Knox boot loader, correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gimmeitorilltell:
Ok HERE seems to be the modem you need to flash in recovery. Maybe that'll help you with 3g & whatnot. I don't know much about finding out which bootloader you have myself but maybe the modem will help.

Edit: My guess would be that it will do incremental updates, at least my HTC One updated in that manner.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] easyrider77:
Yeah I already have that :)......I tried that one as well as others, like 4 in all, and no modem works at all, none of them worked. That's why I was wondering if I needed t do the apn fix like when in a touchwiz rom, you open a menu and adjust it......can't do that with aosp, so figured maybe there was another way around it.

My guess is it's the roms or how the custom recovery is installing stuff....I hade one or 2 aosp roms on here and I could use any modem I wanted......but some roms n modems work no matter which one you use.

I'm like you I think it'll be incremental, but given what seems as though they have newer phones out now that make it harder to root, and they implemented knox, I wouldn't put it past them to find a way to go straight to an update with knox, and bypass the incremental all together.

All else fails I'll just have knox and have to wait a month or so before rooting, but on a plus side to that....at least with knox I'll have the latest bootloader and should then have no issues flashing KK roms :).

Small question though......if you trip the knox trigger, does that affect OTA at all?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gimmeitorilltell:
I just found THIS maybe you can try the md4 bootloader to install kitkat?

Edit: I;m not sure how the knox works, maybe it just changes your flash counter. The OTA shouldn't go straight to the top & it should also let you know what you're downloading anyways. Bthorne79 may be able to tell you more about the knox loader and stuff like that.

I just thought I would let everyone know that the new build seems even smoother. Running great! Not real obvious that a new build is even posted here though. Double check the date!;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] easyrider77:
It may be a boost thing, they are weird about that.....sprint and boost somtimes have different numbering shemes even though it's the EXACT sme build dot for dot, line for line, one will call it this number, another will call it another number.....possibly to keep boost and sprint sperated I would imagine.

Just like samsung and HTC and such ahve thier variants of roms and UI, they are all still android version X but with different feel and looks, the underneath is the exact same.....so I'm thinking boost and sprint and virgin all have different numbering scheme.

Doesn't mean you can't use them, IE spint s3 rom on a boost mobile s3 and vice versa......just means different numbers is all.

Love this rom!! just one thing is bugging me, I have change the lcd density to 245 as I have with many other roms, but the problem is that apps won't install to that lcd density. They install as if the lcd density was still 320. I have uninstalled the app, cleared play data and cache, made sure the build.prop in system folder had the right lcd density, and rebooted many times. but nothing works. Am i forgetting something or what? I never had this issue with other roms I've changed the lcd density to 245 and the apps installed to the setting. If any one could help, I would thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Advertize:
It seems most AOSP roms have low volume and I love loud volume so my solution has been this FauxSound https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamkang.fauxsound and it works great on any rom as long as you are running a custom kernel that allow for sound mods ..... which most do.:p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
I have the same issue also with 245 lcd density as some of the apps are not compatible like amazon .

If someone has solution for this issue it will be great ..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gimmeitorilltell:
I'm checking the apps to sd out and will report back with what I find.

I'm not real familiar with all of the density and apps.

Anyone else try this out until I can find a solution for my builds?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gimmeitorilltell:
Well I found the MG2 is for the AT&T samsung galaxy S3 FWIW I just wanted to clarify and find out where it was coming from. Now we both know. HERE is the link when it was added to that device. My guess is your troubles began there. When you flash a rom the updater.script looks for keywords in your build.prop. I'm not sure why you would have to run the mg2 for boost as it is still a sprint service. Maybe it's because you're using the gsm parts? I really don't know but I would almost bet that running MG2, I would be looking for d2att device roms to flash unless you're running sprints firmware. At this point I'm not certain what state or firmware your phone has but I figured I'd share what I just stumbled upon while trying to find an sd card fix.

THIS is what my BS build is looking for when you flash it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] easyrider77:
Just a small update on my install issues....

I am 3 for 3 on installing from the internal mem of the phone. I did Beanstalk 4.4, cm11 4.4.2, and slimbean 4.3, all these gave me a blank screen after the Samsung logo.

I also out of curiosity did a test with the 8gb sd card I have and copied over cm11 to install from the sd card, that also worked as well.....something to do with the 32gb sd cards I guess, because everything I was doing was with a 3gb sd card, and with the 8gb card it all went smoothly.

The roms also had a wonky affect with the 32gb cards as it would say something like "sd card removed unexpectedly.....remounting" and this message would loop until I went into storage setting then it stopped....I didn't adjust or change anything just me going into the setting stopped it, for awhile anyways, then it would randomly pop back up, and I'd repeat it. Also sometimes it would loose connection during a transfer.

I have tested this with 3 different 32gb micro sdcards all class 10, an 8gb class 10, and an 8gb class 6, as well as a 2gb class 4.....all the 8gb and 2gb cards gave me no issues while the 32gb cards (all 3) did give me problems, it didn't matter if they were empty and freshly formatted or full of any sort of info....I had windows files on one, android backup files on another and a freshly formatted on the other, all 3 cards gave the exact same results in all the roms.

I also had issues with the 32gb cards showing that no data was there, like an empty folder, when the data was indeed there.

I had early on thought it was a bad card, but the cards recognize on the pc, and on the phone, (when they work on the phone), so the chances of all 3 being bad is slim and none, along with the fact all 3 having identical problems and effects, so I highly doubt the cards are bad.

So install issue is now fixed.

Now all I have left to fix is the APN issue for 3g/data. I currently have no 3g/data, so what is a surefire, easy method of fixing data on a boost network? I have a coupld of links, but they involve different things and ways of doing it, so I just wanted to get an opinion......somone who is on boost and had the same issue would be very ideal, but I'm game for anything really.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coolcapnc:
Honestly, my 3g came back after a reboot after initial boot. Tried on two different S3s and it worked, but this of course is for Sprint (just to clarify).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] easyrider77:
Yeah it's weird, I had it on the initial boot of the install.....after I did a reboot it like vanished heh, don't get it. Gonna try the apn fix

weather widget

Hey guys,

anyone know how to change the Unit for the weather widget? I have no option to get into it and make changes.When i click on the widget nothing happens. It is currently in CELSIUS and i need in Fahrenheit
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] easyrider77:
OK I'm on cm11, and I tried both methods listed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1794956 and could not get them to work.

Anyone have a way to change the apn at all on cm11?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gimmeitorilltell:
Remove the widget and add a new one in its place. You will have the option to change it to ℉ when you first add the widget. That's the only way I know how to fix it.

So you have working "Data" but you're not able to send & receive MMS correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] easyrider77:
No, I have no data at all, no 3g/data.......wifi works fine.

I've tried 3 different modems, MK5 (JB) LI3 (ICS), and MD7 the phone came with (JB) but nothing seems to work.

I'm working a bit at a time, so for now I need to ficus on data/3g, then I'll worry about mms/sms later.

After getting the install thing fixed and working fine, now I run into this issue lol, one issue fixed, another broken :)

I'm putting on beanstalk 4.4 so it'll at least give you some familiarity of stuff rather than cm11

I might also add, that cm11 for some reason didn't wanna see my sd card at all.....(and no I'm not on the 32gb). Not sure if this has any relation to the issue at hand or not....just know that TB didn't see it, root browser didn't see it.....everything I clicked on lead me back to the internal sd. In root browser going to sdcard leads me to internal, external sd also lead me to internal sd....like the micro sd wasn't even present

Update:

I installed beanstalk and root browser is working correctly now it sees everything, but TB still doesn't let me acess the sd card.

I have sdcard1 (internal mem, sdcard0 <---this should be the external sdcard. When I acess it via TB it says "this folder cannot be acessed"

Root browser see's it fine, beanstalk explorer see's it just fine, just not TB.

Again not sure if this has anything to do with the apn issue and accessing the apn settings or not.
