Well shut my mouth. I can no longer send texts. Where is the link to the MB1 modem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
I couldn't find it using my old source (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-firmware-vrbmf1-modemrpmtzsbl-verizon-sgs3-sch-i535/), so here you go:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChiefIlliniwek5:
Unfortunately, the issues with this ROM have convinced me to try a different ROM; preferrably a stock or slighlty modified stock ROM. Does anyone have any suggestions? Hopefully CM will get better and I'll be happy to return.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
You can try wiping system, dalvik, and cache, then reinstalling ROM and gapps to see if things improve. M8 will also be released after this weekend.

If you're dead set on going to TouchWiz, try CleanROM. Scott is an awesome Dev.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChiefIlliniwek5:
Thanks for the update on M8...maybe I'll wait till it is released and do a data wipe and see if that fixes it. I really want to stay with cm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
You're welcome. You should follow CM on G+ or follow their blog (RSS). Also, the potential fix I mentioned can tide you over until M8. It doesn't wipe your data and takes 5mins. It's fixed problems for me in the past.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rhcreed:
Can anyone tell me what android rev the latest night lies are (4.4.x)? Want to be sure and have the correct gapps. Thx!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChiefIlliniwek5:
I was under the impression that wiping system and wiping data were the same thing. In cwm recovery, what option would I select to wipe system but not data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
In CWM, it's under mounts and storage ➡ format system. Wiping data (factory reset) wipes your internal SD (very different). Wiping system wipes just the ROM. I hope that improves your battery / wakelock situation.

4.4.4. Latest gapps are 6/06.

I flashed MB1. I can receive SMS, but outgoing SMS messages fail. What next?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChiefIlliniwek5:
Ah! I never bothered to look in that menu before! I've never had a reason to look in there. Thank you so much. I'll see if that helps.

I Must ask " not trying to be funny or smart" but did you follow the above instructions correctly . I did and I am Not having outing going sms issues any more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buschbarber:
I went back and followed all the steps.

Backup in Recovery

Reboot and run Terminal

SU and Enter

reboot nvrestore

battery pull

reboot into Recovery

restore backup

flash MB1

wipe caches

flash 07/03 nightly

I can receive SMS but I cannot send even one without it failing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Check and see if Voice+ is installed... Ive heard of issues where texts were trying to be routed through Voice+ even if you don't use it.

You may have to re-provision your phone also, which I believe means going back to stock and dialing a few codes. A new SIM card might be a possibility also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
I agree with Masta, you may have other issues and need to reprovision. I can send you those instructions if you need them. The only step you didn't do above was flash MB1 firmware after restoring backup. I'm not sure if it would help since you can't send even a single text.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buschbarber:
I do remember receiving a request to enable Voice+, recently. I just looked for it in Apps. There was no link for Uninstall, but I did a Force Stop and now I can send SMS messages.

Thanks to all.

P.S. I did reflash MB1. I edited my post to reflect that.

Lost root after updating to July 3 nightly...

FYI, the 07/03 nightly build appears derped.

I applied the 07/03 nightly (dirty-flash after wiping cache and dalivk), and discovered that I had lost root. Also, I received various FC messages from (phone, acore). When I used Holo launcher's menu to access system settings, I got an "app not installed" message.

No lasting damage - I dirty-flashed back to the 06/08 nightly build and all is well. 06/08 is the last build that doesn't force me to reset my hardware button backlight off preference after each boot. I've been running more recent builds up through 07/01, and they've been fine and stable apart from the backlight issue I mentioned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
The commit to fix the button backlight thing was just merged. :)

M6

Ok, currently running M6 and haven't seen any issue in the couple of days of use. Things that I've noticed that are annoying...

1) When read via default browser (such as this forum) text size is all over the place.

2) Default message app no long has emoji/icons in text messages
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buschbarber:
I have the same issues with varying text sizes when using Browser or Firefox. I am constantly zooming in and out from one reply to the next.

Which modem is recommended for the latest 4.4.4 builds, ML1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChiefIlliniwek5:
My battery drain is somewhat better on the 7/4 nightly. Google play services still is a hog waking up the device over 30,000 times in 2 hours. When I looked at the details in wake lock detector, there is a process called net_scheduler that is causing most of those wakelocks. Anyone know what that is and if it can be fixed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
This might help.. Not merged yet but likely... http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/67416/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChiefIlliniwek5:
I like the sound of that commit. I hope it fixes this. FYI I am running Google Play Services 5.0. Is anyone else who is on 5.0 having the same drain and wake lock issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SDQB17:

I've been noticing 100% wakelock in Google Play Services for a few days, so I guess that's it. Glad it's being taken care of!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
As a Nexus owner here, I'm prepared to help my GF go through CM, but we've tried CM 10.2 and 10.1, and its been a hell of a journey last year on her S3 on Verizon. Sometimes calls fail, sometimes the system just FCs like mad even on brand new installations. She's ready to beat the crap out of me. As a Nexus user I just don't know why...

Maybe this device IS really hard to develop for. Can you guys give me an honest assessment of CM11? Should I stay away if I'm not prepared to tweak her device like crazy? Should I shoot for a modified TouchWiz ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] althornin:
My wife is on the 6/4/2014 build and 9.7exp1 Leankernel.

She knows nothing about this stuff, she just wants it to work.

So I stay on the latest nightlies and keep her on stable builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
What software is she running now? Stock 4.3?

CM11 is very stable for me. I keep one of my phones on the latest M build and one on a recent nightly. Both generally work well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bmeek:
Suspecting newly-introduced issues with ART

The issue of losing root on the 7/03 nightly didn't repeat for me when I dirty-flashed 7/4 and 7/5, but although I had tried wiping cache & dalvik, as well as formatting /system then reflashing the 7/5 nightly and latest 4.4.4 gapps, I was still getting periodic "andriod.process.acore has stopped..." and "Contacts Storage has stopped..." messages (not present on previous builds without any changes to /data...).

I've long been running ART without any issues, so as an experiment I switched back to dalvik runtime. The crashed process error messages all stopped. So far, the 07/05 nightly seems quite solid running dalvik runtime. I may try switching back to ART as an experiment to see if the errors return, but I'm wondering if others are getting android.process.acrore stop errors while running ART with the 7/4 and 7/5 nightlies.

As one of the devs for d2 (a real dev, not just one of the hacks who can put out a kernel and get thousands of thanks posts) , I can tell you there's a reason we call this pos the derp2...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChiefIlliniwek5:
While running the 7/4 nightly, my awake time had dropped to 30% and Google Play Services was no longer the biggest wakelock hog. After seeing that commit, I flashed the 7/5 nightly and now my phone awake time is back up to 90%. I'm not sure if the commit was applied to the 7/5 nightly or not, but the 7/5 nightly was definitely a step backwards for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
I'm on 7/5 with no issues. I had to uninstall/reinstall Google Play Services (5.0) on all of my devices to get them to deep sleep. No issues since. You can see if your phone is sleeping by using the free app called CPU Spy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] colklink14:
Hi guys

Thanks to all who contributed in making this device awesome.

My phone never goes into sleep the min freq is 384.

What is the secret to finding out what is keeping it awake. The much older nightless were spectacular on battery life.

I always do a clean install and wrote it all

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
Literally read the post above yours. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buschbarber:
How did you uninstall Google Play Services. There is no option in App Manager.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Roger W:
Thanks, this seems to have done the trick.

[MENTION=2521978]buschbarber[/MENTION] - Settings - Apps - swipe right to All, tap Google Play Services, Uninstall Updates. Then Hangouts immediately popped an alert asking me to update it; I did, and when that was done I turned off the screen. Checking the battery graph a while later, the system did go into sleep when the screen went off, unlike before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buschbarber:
Did you reinstall Google Play Services from Playstore?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Roger W:
Yes, I followed the notification from Hangouts that it needed G.P.S. installed, and that brought me directly to the play store page for it which I allowed to update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buschbarber:
Thanks!

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

When I go to App Manager, All, Google Play Services, it says I have v5.0.84. Uninstall Updates is greyed out. My only choice is Disable. If I choose that, it asks me if I want to install the Factory version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Roger W:
Hmm, I don't know why the difference, but it might get you to the same place - when I click Uninstall Updates, it also asked me if I wanted to install the factory version, and I said yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChiefIlliniwek5:
I think my battery drain/wakelock issues are fixed. Here is what I did, though I don't know if the fix is attributed to just one or a combination of these things:

1. Flashed back to 7/4 which had shown better sleep time the first time I flashed it (7/5 screwed it up again)

2. Uninstalled Voice+ (I found some threads which said that is to blame for certain types of wakelocks even though it doesn't show up on Wakelock Detector)

3. Uninstalled Google Play Services and re-installed.

I left my phone unplugged all night and it was only awake for 7% of the time. I'm satisfied. Thanks for everyone on this community who have helped me with this struggle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bmeek:
From your developer perspective, what's the best d2vzw replacement android device on vzw right now?

I'm a bit tired of Samsung's efforts to (help vzw) lockup boot loaders, so who's the best dev-friendly alternate manufacturer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
HTC seems to be the easiest to circumvent right now. From what I'm hearing Samsung and LG are likely to be locked down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bmeek:
Thanks, yes - there seems to be a good concentration of dev talent focused on the HTC One M8 right now...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
Is anyone's phone deep sleeping while charging? My other phone (running M7) is. My phone deep sleeps perfectly when unplugged, but when charging, the CPU is locked [MENTION=1089301]384[/MENTION]mhz. It has been that way for at least the last few nightlies. After charging all night, CPU Spy shows no deep sleep, but the CPU wasn't on all night either. Very strange.

Wakelock Detector doesn't show anything out of the ordinary, so I think it's something with the ROM. Not a big deal, I'm mostly curious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Do you have the google hotword detection set up for all screens/while charging? If so, I bet its that.

An easy fix for the settings crash is to just clear data on the settings app by going to the app drawer and long pressing on Settings and dragging it up to App Info, then tap clear data button. There's an explanation of this problem here http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cyanogenmod-11-0-m8-released

I have not changed my swivel mode from the default setting ("over the shoulder" 3rd person view)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
For those of you flashing M8 over nightlies, stop it. Why would you go back in time and flash an older build if yours currently works?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChiefIlliniwek5:
I'm running the July 4th nightly and I have TREMENDOUS battery life (as I posted previously, I was having massive battery drain and wakelock issues which I was able to fix) so I have no intention on flashing the M8. HOWEVER, I have heard a lot of people say that the M8 is by far the most stable 4.4.4 ROM available so I can understand why some people would want to flash back from a more recent nightly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] har02052:
I just installed M8. I was previously running M7 and had installed the separate HeadsUp app. Now that I have M8 though, I uninstalled the app and turned on the setting for Heads Up notifications but it doesn't seem to be working. There is no notification pop up at all.

Edit: Nevermind. It does work. just not in the same way as the app did. It pops up for only about 5 seconds on the screen and then goes away. The app would stay there until you swiped it away. I just hadn't seen the pop up because I wasn't actively on my phone. By the time I turned on my phone, it had already gone away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evrkusd:
Has anyone tried flashing this (or another verizon s3 build) on a galaxy tab 2 (SCH-i705)? They supposedly have almost identical hardware specs, and some ROMs apparently will run on the tab 2, albeit with some resolution problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bmeek:
I know it's not officially supported, but

FWIW, the current nightlies dating back to 07/03 or so have issues running ART, but the M8 build is OK with it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] npro1464:
I just flashed M8. I'm coming from CleanROM 8.1 (TW). Everything looks find so far, except for GPS. GPS doesn't lock at all. Is there anything I can do, short of wiping and reflashing? I flashed the 6/6/14 GAPPS; should I flash the 1/5/14 GAPPS instead? Thanks!!

Edit- I'm on ML1.

Edit 2- Figured it out!! I pressed the compassy/gps icon at the bottom right hand side when you first open Maps. Then it prompted me with "In a previous version of Android, you turned off Google location services. Would you like to turn them on?" I clicked ok, and problem solved, for now.

Looks like it was just one of those goofy things that I was blaming on the ROM. Sorry for the pointless post!

Hi, I have an unlock Galaxy S3 running old 4.1.2. It has been stable and very reliable. I have been excited to to see Cyanogen 11 has a following. I've do a fair amount of reading and wanted to ask folks that are actually using Cyanogen for there S3 about there experience.

Is it reliable for a daily driver. I us wifi tethering, maps and emails / web, Bluetooth regularly. I just want to make sure everything working?

How often do you flash nightly's? Is this an ongoing daily thing for normal use?

Any advice you might have for a first time user?

I appreciate your time and expertise, thanks in advanced!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buschbarber:
I have an i535 S3. Been using CM 10 thru CM 11. I update nightly. Once in a while you get a bad one so you need to keep the last good one, just in case. Sometime the nightlies switch to a newer version. Keep an eye on the changelog.

I don't know if it's a fluke or not but I'm seeing ridiculously good battery life on the 7/12 nightly - better than I've seen since I can remember.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChiefIlliniwek5:
I was experiencing similar battery life on the 7/4 nightly for about a week. Then all of a sudden I started to have massive battery drain from wakelocks. I did a factory wipe and flashed the 7/12 nightly with the latest PAgapps and I'm back to having tremendous battery life with no wake lock issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MartyMacGyver:
Glad I stopped by the thread! I've been getting severe wakelock issues apparently (some battery vampire comes in the middle of the night and in a few short hours it's drained and I suspect this old enemy). I'll be updating today to either 7/12 or 7/14 (which seems to have more bugfixes).

Which PAgapps do people tend to use on a full reinstall with CM? The full one?

Is there any reason to use PAgapps when simply updating, or is that typically handled correctly by the Play services?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rudedog830:
I am convinced that a lot of the recent battery drain issues are the result of a Google Play Services update and not the ROM. Shutting down the update services receiver in Autorun fixed the battery drain with no update in the installed ROM version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MartyMacGyver:
Sadly this does not surprise me...

I assume Autorun is an app to do this... what will shutting down (presumably disabling so it doesn't restart) the update services receiver do? Will it prevent Play from updating when, in the far-flung future, it actually gets fixed?

Update: I used Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy Guard, selected "show built-in apps" and edited the settings for Google Play Services. In particular, I disabled Wake Up and Keep Awake. We'll see if that has the desired effect...

Data Usage Warning

Question, how do I disable the data usage warning? I'm on a shared family plan and it's irrelevant. I upped the warning to about 1TB, so I shouldn't ever get it again, but I'd prefer to disable it completely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MartyMacGyver:
Another update: since disabling Wake Up and Keep Awake permissions for Google Play Services, my phone has been working normally again. I think this will make getting updated versions more tricky but for now it beats waking up to a dead battery and a missed meeting after a few hours *in airplane mode* let alone with the radios on.
