Has anyone figured out a workaround for the stretched/squeezed/wrong aspect ratio on Snapchat's front facing camera? I've had this issue on every CM build for d2vzw/d2lte for the past...yearish. CM11 and CM12 are both affected and its really annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
It periodically got fixed for me and would come back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kyle5077:
Also a really big bug I found - if you change the homescreen shortcut on the right to Hangouts, System UI constantly crashes. If you can manage to make it back into settings and change it ack to default everything will work again. I just did a clean install this morning with the latest nightly and its still an issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Does anybody have recommendations for kernels that play nicely with the latest releases of this ROM? The battery life on the 3/3 release has been far better than the previous late February release I tried. I want to try a new kernel to see if I can smooth out the ROM a bit. It seems to lag after running w/o a reboot the entire day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
You can try the latest dkp, or wait a bit for kt747's kernel to be updated to lollypop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Tried a few other kernels(dkp and lean) and camera gave me the middle finger and just stopped working until I flashed stock kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Lots of kernel camera hacks.. Don't think those kernel guys will bring them in until they are cleaned up and merged.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
That's what I was afraid of. Thanks again for the amazing ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Lockscreen shortcut issue should be fixed in the next build... this was committed after I published my last build. http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/90315/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Let me know how camera is in today's build. I was able to do everything I can think of in Google camera today. Video worked!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mightybryan:
I just want to state that there are still plenty of s3 users out here on xda, and we all appreciate your work so much mastamoon! Lollipop on my s3 is freaking amazing? The battery life is out of this world!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
My battery was amazing and then it settled and went to garbage. Enjoy it while it lasts. Longest on screen time I've gotten so far is 3 hours
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Interesting. I've been getting between 4-4.5 hours consistently.

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

Getting quite a few random System UI crashes on the latest build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
On screen time? Oh please tell me what settings you're using
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rhymestealer:
I can confirm that Google Camera is working for pictures and video and touch to focus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Theme applied? Known to cause issues, especially if there were theme changes in stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Are there any suggestions about loosing data? I've noticed on the two builds I've tried (3/3 and 3/6) it seems like at random I'll loose data on reboot. It's connected to a strong Verizon signal and I have all my signal numbers, but it says "disconnected" next to mobile data. Toggling data or airplane mode doesn't help. Multiple reboots don't seem to help either. The only thing that seems to work is reverting to a Nandroid backup.

My firmware is MF1 with the NE1 modem.

Other than that, this ROM is getting very, very stable!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I've rebooted to no data also.. But have had luck just rebooting to get it back. I'm not sure what it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
You nailed it on the head. No more theme, no more crashes. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Yep. They are still making changes often so this might happen here and then. Re applying might be ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
On the 3.6 build the camera works better. Google Camera now takes video! Touch to focus freezes Google Camera and Snap Camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Camera works!!!!!!

OMG! Really?! It works!!! Gosh - what a relief!

Google Camera is taking pictures, touch-to-focus, and videos for me. AWESOME!! (....so far...)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
On 3/6 and camera is fully functional for me except for front facing camera video. Doesn't work but rear does.

EDIT - Alright apparently focusing more than once makes it have a stroke and it dies on me, forcing a reboot if I want to use the camera again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Is there a way to disable the heads up type notifications in Lollipop?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Uhm I'm not sure what happened but clock seems to have disappeared... I have to go back into Settings > Status Bar and Clock Style and set it to <anything that's not what you usually use> and then back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
It automatically reboots? Or you have to reboot it on your own time to get it to work again?

If its the "cannot connect to camera" message, there's an app on the play market that somehow resets the camera so that it gets rid of that message

"CM Camera Fix" or something like that, I've linked it in the past, but just thought I'd bring it up again. Works well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
It doesn't reboot itself, it just breaks camera until I decide to reboot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Actually, other than turning a lot of the WiFi notification and location storing stuff, I don't change much. I do use a dark theme and a lot of black themed apps, and I really think it makes quite a difference on our device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bamaredwingsfan:
Another thing I've noticed is that switching from global to LTE will not stick either, when you exit and return it's back on global.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
*Almost* everything I use is blacked out, minus the one or two odd ones but other than that I'm on WiFi most of the day and location is on battery saver
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Dirty flashed from 2-13 (I think) to 3-6 build.

Google camera still doesn't work for me. Touch to focus broke camera after the second touch. After a reboot I tried to take a photo without touch to focus, and it broke the camera then too.

Nexus Camera and Snapchat camera still work for me for pictures. Videos work on Snapchat and Nexus camera, but don't play back on nexus camera.

Edit: playback works from different apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
That's odd. Mine sticks on LTE even after a reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Yeah, mine won't stick on LTE either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rushead:
Try a clean flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
What gapps do you have installed? Did you test camera immediately after a reboot or after some time has passed. There are some issues regarding both of these. Wait atleast 5 mins after a reboot to play with camera and apparently using the pico/nano gapps might cause a problem (probably missing a lib or something).. I use the full modular package and installed google camera from market. My camera is fully functional, albeit a bit laggy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neolink1:
Are you using the GAPPS package from the first post?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Yep.. and installed Google Cam from Market.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
99% sure I have the full GAPPs, I'll try waiting like you suggested though. Then I may try a clean flash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Good to see the latest nightly fixes the clock issue, I'll see if I notice anything else
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] betam4x:
Today marks the day that my Galaxy S III silently went off to phone heaven or wherever it is that cell phones go to die. After unplugging my S3 from a charger, I noticed it turned off. It then repeatedly bootlooped upon startup, most of the time barely even showing the initial splash screen. Download mode and recovery don't boot, the phone appears to be dead. I tried 2 different batteries and it does it even when plugged in. I've since ordered an HTC One M8, which will be here in 2 days. I know the m9 will be out soon, but the m8 is cheaper, and it has Cyanogenmod! Thanks mastamoon for all your hard work! Goodbye everyone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Sad day, RIP gs3! Haha enjoy the M8!

Not as if getting a brand new phone wasn't probably a better idea anyway, but (I'd assume) this issue happened to me about a week ago exactly. After some digging around online, it turned out it was the power button inside that was "getting stuck"; in order to fix it, I had to open the device and essentially clean the power button with >90% alcohol. If you still have the device as backup/spare or whatever, I'd recommend giving this a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Landon418:
I have the same problem too, happens again every couple of months. Solder doesn't make a solid connection between the switch and motherboard, which causes it to turn on/off. I personally slam my phone's power button in the palm of my hand or against a desk to "fix" it. One hell of a phone :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Anyone else feel like the new LiveView feature is keeping the display way too bright? I think it's having an effect on battery life as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Yeah it seemed pretty bright.. I played around with mine a bit and I settled on the following settings (posted in OP also)..

Color Temperature - Day: 5500K, Night: 4500K

Color Calibration - Red: 53%, Green: 53%, Blue: 84%

If anybody out there has any experience and hardware for display calibration, feel free to drop some values on us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
Try 86% red, 86% green, 100% blue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Looks about the same as mine, just brighter.

Would be awesome if somebody with a colorimeter used to calibrate TV/Monitors would run through some test patterns and give us some numbers. I realize all panels are different but they are usually pretty close.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
I'm not sure it's going to get much closer than that. If I'm not mistaken, I grabbed those values off an old galaxy s1 thread (Samsung fascinate) where someone did a screen calibration for amoled and that's the value that was taken. Worth a shot though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
The numbers I posted are the 'trinity colors' or something like that. Was all the rage back in cm10 days. Either way, gets rid of the warm color to a more blueish/white. More eye pleasing for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
I believe my values came from Supercurio's "voodoo colors and sound" from the original galaxy s. Gives the colors a more vibrant pop and takes away the blueish hue the S3 has natively.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Cool, Ill add the settings to the OP. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbleach:
sorry for the noobish question but will the LCD density settings be making a comeback into latest builds?

It was in 2015-02-05 build but not since then and I really miss being able to set a higher resolution.

build/tools/repopick.py 85051 # Allow custom density setting

build/tools/repopick.py 85052 # Add LCD density setting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Yeah, Ill repick them for the next build. I removed them because they were getting in the way of another commit I wanted.. I really thought the density stuff would have been merged by now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sammymcalaxy:
My battery life has never been worse. I've been very limited with regards to any time I could spend troubleshooting this, but I was thinking it had something to do with that live view.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Those drops look like a wakelock. I'd download wake lock detector or better battery stats and see if you can see something out of the ordinary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Do you download the newest Google play services not stuff when they get posted? I heard there was a nasty wakelock with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbleach:
Awesome. I appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Does anyone else wake up in the morning to discover their WiFi disconnected with an authentication error listed? I'm using a WPA2 network, and it happens sporadically. Some nights it stays connected, while others I get the error. No rhyme or reason as to the cause from what I can see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Hasn't happened to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Are you on a WPA2 network?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Yeah. I think both my home and work networks are WPA2---
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Well, I'm really at a loss for this one then. I've tried clean installs without bringing over any system data multiple times and still have had this problem for multiple builds. Doesn't seem like it could be a hardware issue to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
What do you typically see when this happens? No wifi in the status bar, or the "!"?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
There is no Wifi icon in the status bar when it happens (It switches to LTE), but in the pulldown/notification, the Wifi icon has the "!".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Yeah I havent had that situation. I believe the ! in the statusbar means your connected to wifi but no connection to the internet.. sounds like yours is different though. There hasnt been any driver/wifi related stuff pushed that I can think of.. maybe your getting interference or something causing it to wig? Maybe try changing the channel on the router and see if it helps?

Im just shooting into the dark here..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Ah, didn't know what the "!" meant. That at least gives me something to go on. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I get that randomly on my school network I think. It's very brief though, maybe 5 second then it's back, but that's some sort of enterprise network (username and pass). But the network is terrible to begin with, so it could be unrelated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Or your Router's gone Ape ? Can you get on Internet via a pc on that router ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brd912:
Just figured I'd ask here. Is there any way to get this ROM to recognize my phone as the straight talk model? Everything works fine but occasionally it auto dials *22899 when it kicks into 1x. Figured that had to be because its reading it as a Verizon phone. Aslo, is there a way with this ROM to unlock the 4G on this phone (maybe so I can use page plus) or would that be something that needs to be done with a flashing software?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] defTwitch:
I LOVE this thing:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en

Tis free... use it to troubleshoot all kinds of router issues sometimes. Might show ya whats going on?

It's very helpful when making (old routers) or using wireless access points.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
As of yesterday my battery has been killing itself and I have no clue what it could be
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
There is a pretty wicked wakelock due to the new google play services that might have hit your phone (via push, download or the latest PA gapps).. If you have a 6.x google play services, you should be fine and its something else.. if you have a 7.x.. you might want to downgrade.

But as always, best to download something wakelockdetector or betterbatterystats and see if you can pin point it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
I have 6.7.76. I have betterbatterystats and nothing out of the ordinary is coming up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Weird. I have no wakelocks.. if anything my battery seems better lately. Download cpuspy, gives you a pretty easy way to see how well your phone is deep sleeping.

Make sure you dont have like wifi scanning and **** turned on..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prack:
mastamoon, did you order the nexus 6? Just came out on Verizon. Sucks that it's only the 32gb but i'll make it work. Also it's black, or at least customer service and the website say so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Didnt order yet... Dude, check the website again.. it now says "available in blue"... not black! Said black this morning!!! XD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] defTwitch:
You using the "trick" to order it with new contract pricing while still keeping unlimited data?

http://slickdeals.net/f/6964624-upgrade-and-keep-your-unlimited-data-with-verizon

etc...?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Thats pretty neat... =) Will have to think about that one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] defTwitch:
I didn't know about "it" for a LONG time... but can potentially save you a LOT of cash... have to reread more recent threads to make it'll work for me.

I also read on there a dev version of moto x will have unlocked bootloader... which I might consider instead

edit - or I guess it already does. 200 bucks sans contact... wasn't on my radar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Wonder what the deal is with putting my upgrade on my wifes line and upgrading.. since she is already on a different plan. I think its still possible, but now puts you on contract again, where before it wouldnt. I know they partially closed the loophole.. i just dont remember the specifics.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] defTwitch:
Seems like people are really helpful on that thread if you just want to throw up what your deal is and ask about options.

I'm solo right now... wifes new job pays for her phone. She lost unlimited going to their plan but who cares if they pay... she doesn't do much anyway.

Pretty sure the fact that I haven't have a contract in FOREVER and I'm by myself gives me the option to use that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phil0sophic:
screenshot hangs "saving screenshot" notifiacation.

Anyone take a screenshot and have the notification "saving screenshot" stuck on, unable to swipe off requiring a reboot to clear? Not affecting operation but on lock-screen and pulldown.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I took one just now, worked as it should. Probably tied to the camera in some way so might be derpy here n there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Question.. do you guys think the current state of this rom would be good for official nightlies... knowing that stock camera is not reliable? Or would you rather wait until things are more stable?

Personally if I had to use Google Camera, CameraZoomFX, Open Camera instead of the built in.. I would be ok with that to get official nightlies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bitemeoftn:
+1 for officials!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Here's another +1. I've never used the stock camera since being on Android in general, so it's of little concern to me. Once I was able to use my preferred camera app AND the camera inside other apps, this ROM became nightly-ready, IMO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sjpritch25:
Just wanted to say farewell to everyone. I recieved my new HTC one M8, so I won't be around the S3 thread's anymore. I have to say, I'm really enjoying the phone so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
i am down for official nightlys .

i too have taken the plunge and ordered the nexus 6 from verizon. it wont ship till 3/18 though

i never owned a nexus device before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Did you give up unlimited data for it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
no bro.. i gave up my unlimited for the galaxy s3..

i usually never go over 2 gb anyway plus i just transfered to the 2 line plan that shares data. i upped it to 3 gb for each phone on my plan..

and my brother never uses his data. he is not too much into technology so i get his data too :)

he prob uses 1 gb per month tops
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Ah.. I'm fighting myself on the upgrade and unlimited.. Really don't need it.. Will save money without it.. But then it's gone forever. I've had unlimited data since my blackberry tour... [emoji1]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
damn i would love to have it too. then i wouldnt care about the fact that the nexus 6 has no micro sd. i usually keep like 3000 songs on my external sd. now i cant do that anymore obviously.

i wish there was a way to regain it. i think i heard about people selling the unlimited data on ebay or craigs list or whatever. but it is expensive

how much data do you usually burn through in an average month?

verizon is selling the phone for 250 bucks but to buy it outright is tough for me.. 650 or 700 i cant do that **** right now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Even with streaming music to/from work a rarely break 3gb a month. Usually less than 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
Do the 4ever method on slickdeals. I think you said you're in on a family plan with one line already not on unlimited right? If it isn't available for an upgrade but you are, transfer upgrade to other line, up grade that phone, activate n6 on that line, then switch it out for your line a few hours and then put original non-unlimited phone back on its old line. Worked for hundreds according to the post. Ordered mine today and this is my plan...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
That's my plan if I decided to try and keep unlimited. Could save a good chunk of change by doing the 2 smart phones with 6gb data for 100 bucks deal. Hmm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
That's where no unlimited would really get me. Right now I'd be fine since I have plenty of storage (SD card) but if I got a new phone without one I'd "need" at least 64GB internal, since I have like 55GB of music. I'd really have to trim back my collection, which wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Also, would official nightlies mean it would be updatable through settings?

If so, +1 for nightlies.

I guess either way, +1. I'd say its stable enough. Its still a nightly which means beta-ish. That's warning enough! Haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bamaredwingsfan:
That's me too, and I know if I give up unlimited, I'll regret it down the road.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sammymcalaxy:
Would this differ from where we're at now? Would we be updated OTA? Or in some other way other than flashing through recovery?

Aside from the recent wake locks that massacred my battery, (thanks Google) this is definitely stable enough in my opinion. I'd imagine starting nightlies will only expedite progress, right?

I appreciate your efforts man. Asking for feedback, interacting with end users: seems like you've taken a page right out of Verizon and Samsung's book on how to handle this whole development thing, huh???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
I think I've identified when the WiFi thing is happening, but I still have no idea as to the why. Each night when Titanium Backup runs a system data backup, I wake up with WiFi authentication error. Maybe backing up the WiFi setting messes with CM in some way. Not sure. I've disabled the automated backup to see if it happens again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Maybe for the backup to happen, tibu locks a file or has to disconnect wifi and it has problems reconnecting? Or maybe just the load on the system during backup causes a hang.
