So far so good. So far, gps after booting might be a little slow to start getting a fix, but is fine after about 3 minutes or so. Everything else seems fine.

Trying to move to the kitkat ril from the last Ota, along with other kitkat stuff from the release.. Which so far is gps.

Let me know if you or anybody else finds any issues.

PS.. You might not be able to go back to an older build without wiping data.. . You might want to do a nandroid first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Well like it or not, all the cherrypicks I was using got merged so hopefully it works good for everybody.

Like I said, the only thing I noticed was gps not coming on line after reboot right away.. but by about 2 minutes things start working as they should.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stealth111:
Masta, hey!

Sooooo, it looks like CM is broke for those of us running the NE1 modem? Any idea if this is going to be looked at anytime soon? I really don't want to go back to ML1 if I can avoid it, as I am getting very good results on the latest modem....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Hey man, thought you got an m8?

Yeah I haven't even tried it honestly. I'll check it out on Monday I guess. Everything is working fine on mf1 though. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stealth111:
Yeah, I did, but it sucked SOOOO HARD. I don't know what the hype was with that phone, but I hated it from the moment I turned it on. CM made it slightly bearable, but not having working GPS and some other issues (super low earpiece volume for one) made me put it on eBay a week after I got it! (interestingly enough the stupid Verizon Visual Voicemail WORKED on the M8 with CM!!!)...

So I am back to ole' faithful, and I have never been happier! Stupid Verizon Visual Voicemail(VVM) STILL does not work for me on the S3, even though I have offered a bounty for the fix. Every now and then a message or 2 actually has playable audio, but mostly NO... I really cant believe NOONE uses it at all? I have ZERO issues with it on Old and Slow's rom and VVM... GPS is still hit and miss on the S3, but not as bad as the M8 which was (non existent). Also my phone still has fits when connected to my network extender. It doesn't like to get calls or send texts very reliably. You and I had that all worked out, but when they started that unified apn stuff it got broke in a hurry. Whatever we did to fix it is gone. I still get the "NO APN selected for this device" every now and then, or the texts just refuse to send whenever they want. With that all said, STILL better than the POS M8! Good to hear from you again! I'll drop by IRC later..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremy702:
Is the GPS issue something that should be fixed in a later release? Moving from a 8/x build to a recent 9/x build (clean), I noticed the GPS, like you said, Is pretty bad. I wasn't getting a fix, even after 5 minutes. I upgraded to MF1 from MB1 just now and I'll see if that's better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
It's being worked on, cant tell you when.

Invisiblek did get the NE1 modem working again though ^_^

Step by step ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bamaredwingsfan:
Having a problem. When I try to install a lean kernel, it totally erases my meid numbers. It did it on lk9.10 an lk9.12

I'm on latest phillsz recovery. Cm 11 for Samsung galaxy s3 for Verizon. First time it happened I was doing a clean wipe an install of cm11 9/5. Second time it happened after installing cm11, I decided to change kernel's the next day an boom, fubared the radio again. Any ideas? Thank God I did all the radio backups when the problem was first diagnosed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I don't really know, but since you are flashing another kernel you won't get much support in here. I would just make sure it's the latest version and find out if its fully synced with cm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bamaredwingsfan:
Thank you for your response. I would have just stayed with the stock kernel, but I was having a problem with Bluetooth was why I tried the other kernel. My Bluetooth problem is this.

As long as I begin a call, all is fine. But if someone calls me, I can't hear them an they can't hear me. Any ideas. I'm on your 9/5 build with the mf1 radio
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I believe that's a common problem with Bluetooth across cm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bamaredwingsfan:
Again thank you for your response. Think I'll just stick with your builds an leave the kernel alone. Its a mega pain in the ass doing all the steps to fix the dead radio problem. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chadamir:
Are you saying across all devices or just s3? I checked a couple other devices and no one was mentioning any issues with bluetooth, though I did see it with other s3 devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
OK so GPS should be working in this latest build.. but it REQUIRES the latest modem/firmware to be flashed.. http://mastamoon.truelinux.net/firmware/d2vzw_NE1_modem.zip

This will be true of all official builds moving forward also.

thanks again [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bamaredwingsfan:
Can we get a md5 for the modem file
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stealth111:
My GPS still don't work... If I go back to "Old and Slows" TW rom, my GPS works flawlessly ALL the time, so I know it is not a hardware issue. On CM builds it seems to only work at random times, maybe about 2 or 3 days in any given month it might work for a day. I would say I have better odds at seeing BIGFOOT than seeing my GPS working... I have tried gps test, gps status, and nothing...sees no satellites and uses the same (none). Any ideas???

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremy702:
Any other big changes to this latest build.. and of course, with the NE1 modem.. anyone notice anything better/worse?

Yes, I am on the latest modem. Tried your build. Same thing. No GPS...

Anything else I should be trying?

Did you already try tightening the screws on the back of the phone? That supposedly works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
Umm.. I'm kind of stuck here. Gps is kindof weird. Let me check mine again.

Edit- so mine works. Stop in Irc tomorrow or hit me up on Hangouts real quick, maybe we can figure this out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
Anyone find a fix for the delay when turning on the screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ugachris:
I'm getting complaints from my wife about an echo when I call her on speakerphone. I thought this was fixed with the latest volume change, but apparently not. Is anyone else seeing/hearing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
GPS still won't work for me with this build abd radio
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I'm on the same build and it works awesome. It's just slowly start sometimes.

And check your screws! This is inside my house too.

EDIT:PIC-REMOVED
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stealth111:
I don't think the screws are the issue. I can literally nandroid back to "Old and Slows" 4.3 TW Rom and gps instantly works right away. I android back to cm and it goes back to not working again........

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] capt730:
Yeah I am having some weird gps stuff going on too on aosp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Make sure you go into location settings and turn GPS off then on again. You might have to accept that disclaimer to get it working again.

Boom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ctsail410:
I've been fiddling with this over the weekend, and nothing seems to improve it for me (tightening screws, toggling, etc.).

Also, MMS doesn't work for me either. Seems as though I'm not alone with NE1 based upon comments in the official thread.

Update: Locked fine outside today...took a bit, but it's functional!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
MMS will work in todays build. 1st gps lock seems to take longer than it did, but once its warmed up, it seems to work fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chadamir:
Is it possible to revert back to pre 9/4 when BT broke without doing a full wipe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Is 9/4 the day bt broke for sure?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chadamir:
You are right, I found complaints going back to around 8/21. I guess I lost track of how long I'd been dealing with the annoyance haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Same BT issue? Are we talking about the can make bt calls out, but cant receive bt calls (no audio)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chadamir:
Yeah. Same problem. https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-123 it's apparently a permissions issue. Invisiblek said he knows about it but is working on other devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Ive been trying to figure that one out since invisiblek said, and i quote "fix it bish"... I know permissions are set in the androidmanifest.xml file. That error is coming from chromium, and there are like 10 androidmanifests.xmls and many other manifest files.. none are located anywhere near the audio manager though as far as I can see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chadamir:
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/70342/ Could this be it? SCO is bluetooth and it was removed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
[MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION] Which modem do you recommend for your ROM? NE1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
NE1 seems to be working fine, and afaik it's the only one as of a week or so ago that works correctly with the new kk ril. I realize I don't have a link to it in the OP but it's on my site mastamoon.truelinux.net under firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Not sure, I don't think that bt calls are considered Voip, but stranger things have happened.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chadamir:
Would you be willing to do a build with a revert of that patch for testing purposes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
No build necessary. Can just take an older copy of that file, place it where it should be, reboot.. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chadamir:
Didn't fix it. Why would chromium be the problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
I still can't get GPS working after flashing the latest build. Even tried a clean flash. Any other ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Thats what I dont fully understand.. im not sure the 2 actually go together.

And you are on NE1 modem? Are you outside? Have you checked your screws? I cant see how it works for some and not others. We just had a guy pop into the IRC room and say "M10 is the first version of CM11 where the GPS actually works for me."...

There has to be something missing here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
So there's a new modem out? Still on ML1. I installed 9/12 and 9/16 and found I couldn't send MMS on either. (Thought I was past all that!) Went back to 8/15 for now while I contemplate the value of upgrading the modem which I haven't had to do in so many months I can't remember.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
On NE1. Screws are fine since I was using it the day before I flashed 9/16 with no issue. I was walking around outside, where it would normally work. :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
Masta, it appears your op is out dated. I've been off the flash wagon for the past month and want to catch up to the latest. It appears, though, that there are modem/firmware requirements for the latest builds. I looked though the last pages of this thread and the official but was unable to get a concise set of items that needed to be present. Would you mind updating your op to include what we need to be on?

Also, I noticed that the word "firmware" was being thrown around on the official thread. Is this new or are people just confused and are referring to the modem. It would be awesome if we could update TZ, etc!

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Updated the OP

We still cant update our firmware past MF1, so yes what everybody is talking about is baseband/modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Masta, this is confusing me. The top quote is from Wednesday and the second from today. Which modem for your new builds???:confused:

I'm on ML1 and have been perfect with it until a 9/12 flash (wasn't flashing since 8/15)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Firmware doesn't equal modem.

We are able to update modems from Otas, but not the firmware.. Firmware is everything else (bootloaders, tz, sbls...) these things are now locked and can't be flashed from any Ota later than mf1. Your ml1 flash is just a modem, not firmware.

Edit: you want to be on MF1 firmware and NE1 modem right now if your running new builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
AHA!! :cyclops:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
Hey masta, just an update on my GPS issues. I odin'd back to the root66 TW image and reprovisioned and all that jazz and confirmed that GPS was working then. Updated back to your 9/19 build (w/ the proper firmware & modem) and had no issues....so go figure. Only thing I changed was switching from PA gapps to the ones you have in the OP. Perhaps I was just long over due for a reprovision. My phone also seems to connect to LTE much quicker than before..but I may just be imagining that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
I was trying to fix up a phone for my father to use last night and got the same thing even with the newest modem, MMS would NOT send.

Let me guess, No APN Specified error right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
No, no error that I know of when i was on ML1, just hanging forever without sending. Upgraded to NE1 and it works fine on latest build.

Edit: where would I have seen this error - would I have needed to open a terminal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
So, I am going to try going back to stock then flash milestone bills only from here on out. M10 has bad battery life, wonky gps, and no Bluetooth. What milestone is the smoothest? M8? Also, do I only need to full wipe and install the rooted stock one that is in the original post? Or do I need to Odin or install any older radios? Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] satadru:
So I'm trying to do a wipe and reinstall with this build from the d2lte nightly I've been using previously..

I get an endless cyanogenmod spinner at boot... and that's it.

I'm using the recovery you suggest, and I have the same firmware and modem installed too.

Any ideas?

(Also seeing the same issue with the M8, M9 & M10 snapshots too.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] satadru:
Fixed it. Your recovery doesn't appear to format /cache correctly. That was wreaking havoc.

Problem went away once I manually formatted cache from recovery.

mke2fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bamaredwingsfan:
So which milestone did you use
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tv31284:
Does anyone know if the issue with navigation rebooting is still occurring? I went back tw4.3 (which is rock solid) but I miss CM and AOSP in general. I've been considering upgrading to the moto x, which should be out this Friday for verizon, but I really have no issues with the gs3 performance wise other than the rebooting. It's just frustrating that the option is to downgrade to 4.3 or put up with really inconvenient reboots.

Oh and mms doesn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chadamir:
So on 9/23 with the NE1 baseband, I have no gps (I haven't used gps for a while). I let it sit for a long time trying to get a fix but it would not.

I tried flashing back to m8 but after clearing the cache (I did so manually from recovery with adb just in case), I still was getting crashes of dialer, phone, acore etc. I flashed back. I'm probably going to have to do a clean wipe to m8 this weekend since no gps and no BT is too much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Did you cycle gps?

You may need flash back to stock, get gps lock, then flash back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chadamir:
What do you mean by cycle? Do I need to use odin to flash back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
Read the OP. I just had to do this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chadamir:
The OP talks about the SMS bug. I don't see any mention of gps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Probably don't need to Odin, can probably just flash a stock based rom and see if you get gps lock.

WiFi Hotspot No Workee

On 9/24 and 9/25, I'm not able to get WiFi hotspot to work. I turn it on and it just turns itself right back off, again and again. Tether works. I nandroided back to 8/15 and that works fine. Also, there is a different interface for the WiFi hotspot now (old is on the left)

PS - I configure it with a password and everything. Am I missing something?

Hey all, new to this ROM, coming from Old&Slow's S3 builds. Love the ROM so far, but looking for a different keyboard and multi-window. Can I add multi-window? I usually use the Note 3 keyboard w/ emoji by daoudedy, will that work here? I think that keyboard needs the Sammy stock keyboard to work but not sure. Thanks for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
I'm pretty sure that emoji is part of Samsung frameworks or its their emoji font. Multi window can somewhat be achieved by xposed, but if you have problems after installing xposed you need to remove the framework before looking for help because it generally causes more problems than it is worth
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Thanks for your help. Much appreciated. ☺
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
No problem, not trying to sound like a d*ck lol, but I've seen a lot of people come into Irc with xposed installed and it be part of their problem. I think if you use Swiftkey you would be happy with emoji
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
No, it's cool. I've used xposed before on other roms and had some issues, so I understand. I can live without multi-window. Just gonna try the keyboard. This AOSP keyboard is nice but the Note 3 keyboard is so much better. The top row of numbers and the predictive text is exceptional.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
I think you'll like SwiftKey at least as much as the Note Keyboard. Best in class predictive text and has an optional number row on top, plus many themes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Last I checked "good" Swiftkey is ??? no?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
I don't understand what you're trying to say with the emojii.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
Swiftkey is free now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Zach got it. Lol. Thanx.

Interesting. I'll have to check it out again. Thanx.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] capt730:
You've probably already done it, but Swiftkey is great. I have used it religiously. If you want, I have an OmniSwitch zip you can just flash in recovery - it isn't multi-window, but it will allow you to swipe open and access all apps that you can open on top of each other as well as swap to the last app you had open.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Yeah, I'm enjoying SwiftKey so far. Thought it was a paid app still so never bothered with it and the old free version was no good to me. Sure, shoot me that Omniswitch zip, I'll try anything once. Thanks for offering [emoji2]
