Snapchat Camera

Well just looking for an update on the snapchat front facing camera

Also, Im really curious. What about new ROMS makes it hard to get Camera working well? In my head the code for camera stuff cant have been changed that much..So if it was working relatively well on 4.3 why not now?

Is it a drivers/hardware problem? or just the way the OS as a whole handles accessing the camera?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
it is a chrome bug, did same for me on stock and cm 11 on 4.3

bugs I did find on cm 11 that made me not keep it were:

-vibrate doesn't turn off even when unchecked to never vibrate

-camera, browser cannot auto save their files to the ext sd card cause the permissions aren't in the rom to do so and I tried for hours to get that working or a different camera/browser app to get it to work (this was my killer for the rom)

I hate the vibrate function on and I actually prefer the stock camera and browser over all others to be honest so I stick to my stock ota rom that I modified myself to my likings

I installed Wicked rom then did a clean cm install including data wipe (twrp). All my problems are gone and vpn works. (still have the chrome black screen prob tho...) Not 100% sure about the phone/Bluetooth weirdness but its been fine for 2 days.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jpetrone:
The chrome issue, is an issue with chrome not the ROM.

Blue GS3

Anyone have this issue, I have about 7.5GB of free storage but yet Google play fails to install apps stating I have insufficient storage. The happens also when installing apks. I'm on the latest nightly using Paranoid GApps 011114. This happens with random app, I tried to update chrome beta but that failed insufficient storage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jpetrone:
Last time this happened to me ... CM 10.1 ... I had to grab what I needed from my internal SD and then format the SD and then copy back what backed up and then restored my apps.

I think I had the original issue because I was going from a TW ROM that didn't support the profiles/the 0 folder created on SD and it had a bunch of files/data outside that folder at a higher level that could only be seen in like recovery.

Good luck... Let me know how it goes.

I had it happen once before when I accidentally had my storage permissions set to read only, I would start there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Vierajoe:
Blue GS3

I just started from scratch. Partitioning the SD didn't help. Also in order to do a clean install, I can't do a factory reset data, wipe cache, dalvick cache and then install the rom with GAPPs. I have to flash back to touchwiz from the dialer key in # # 72786 # this takes the phone through activation process once that is done then i can boot into recovery and install a new rom/Gapps. If i don't go through this process I get a phone fail error.

Well I'm back, camera issue wound up being the chip on the motherboard, in a last act of desperation heated it up with a heat gun till it was scorching hot to touch, and now it works fine, I swear....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ab30494:
how do you update the prl on cm11, or do i need a stock rom to do it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dubsides:
Think stock is required
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] apocalypserisin:
You can also flash prls from some other custom roms, but not cm.

Am I misremembering that when expanded desktop is enabled, Pie controls become available? Can't find them if so. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with the latest nightlies.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AOD_Corwin:
Last two nightlies have give me problems. Similar situation both times. Charging in my car streaming blue tooth to my radio or my ear piece. System goes into a boot loop and I have to re flash. Last time was a clean install.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sinisin:
I dunno what the issue is. I'm not totally sure it's not Google new play services api, 4.1. Ever since then I get the same issue.

I have to say overall that the last really stable build was a couple after the M2 build. Things are getting a bit hairy. Random reboots. Can't chalk it up to the rom for sure tho. No kernel update since day after x-mas so could be outdated kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] apocalypserisin:
On 11/13 nightly, and just had a random double reboot, and booted to the cm account prompt you get when you first install cm. In addition, all my app settings were reset (had to reset authenticators, progress in games gone, etc), but all system settings were intact. Home screens also reset to default. May have had something to do with xposed framework as i was uninstall a module when it happened.

Update: Phone worked for a few hours. Went to sleep, and when i woke up, found out the phone was rebooting like clockwork every minute or so. Doesn't matter if its awake or standby, it always resets after a minute. Plan to flash to stable M2 later.

Update2:Seem to be digging myself deeper in the hole. Tried to factory reset everything, wiped dalvik, cache, system etc from CWM. Then went to reboot and now get stuck on bopped by bms screen. Also noticed after the factory wipe, Error Mounting /sdcard/.android_Secure. Any idea how to fix? Tried removing batter already and still same problem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bad.Fish:
11/13? We're on 1/17 already. I use sd card fix from play store or any sd card remounting app

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] apocalypserisin:
Sorry i meant 1/13. I think i figured out the problem, had formatted the system but did not have a rom to flash ready. Once flashing a rom would the issues be fixed?

Edit: Can i directly drop the rom onto the ext sdcard from my computer in CWM?

Edit2: The error when factory resetting is unknown volume cannot find android secure, not cannot mount.

Battery Drain In Airplane Mode

I am on Nightly build 11-20140112 and have had a relatively pleasant experience. A couple of random reboots when accessing my SD card for videos but I am sure that will be fixed eventually. I use Handcent for my messenger and noticed when I open gallery to share a photo, the messenger option is not handcent, but the stock cyanogenmod messenger app. Anyone else use handcent with the same issue?

One issue I have noticed that cannot be explained is the battery drain in Airplane mode.

I had a fully charged phone, 100% charged last night. Unplugged the phone, placed it in airplane mode, woke up to only 73% battery. Prior to this build I would still see 89-91% battery life on the nightlies and better battery life on Stock ROM in airplane mode. Anyone else having this issue? I am going to install the latest build with a clean install and see how things go.

BTW, all of my installs are a clean, new format wipe install. Sprint S3 SPH-L710 FYI
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
you sound like you need to start over from scratch...philz twrp recovery is better than cwm in my opinion, better options, a clean wipe for installing new roms option. put the cm11 nightly zip on the sd card, gapps file also, 1 click wipe that phone with philz, then install the rom then gapps zips and you're good to go

I haven't tried the 1-23 build. 1-22 is no good for Bluetooth. I am using 1-21 until Bluetooth fixes are put back in future nightlies.

Ditto for me on the Bluetooth.

Anyways on a completely different subject. I think it's a disservice to ourselves if we keep using this thread and it's not the official CM thread. Rather than checking two different places for feedback, we should be using the original.

What did you determine about WiFi tethering in CM11?

I found it doesn't work on my Nexus 5 CM11. No messages, just doesn't get external IP.

Works great on stock ROM.

WiFi tether works fine for me on my parrot asteroid smart but downloading anything from the play store is slow as snails. Streaming audio and YouTube work with good LTE signal though. What I am wondering is if wireless display will ever be fixed.

Works great for me since I posted this. I am on Sprint. To get it to work I had to do a complete wipe (data/Cache/Dalvick)

Same. Reverted to 2/1; 2/2 was a dud after several clean flashes and a waste of a few hours. But the 2/1 build still has the same problems I mentioned earlier, which I thought were all due to a dirty flash but not the case.

Chillin on the nightlys now

Thanks, but it's not fine for me, after a complete wipe and clean install. Also, the 'recommended' full modular gapps were problematic too, as Google+ and Search both force closed and had to be reinstalled (after installing an un-installer to remove them first).

GPS toggle?

Is there a way to easily toggle GPS on and off? In JB there was a button on the quick pull down menu for GPS, now on KK it just has one for location. I like to keep wifi and network location on (as it is generally accurate enough) and usually toggle GPS on just for navigation. It seems that now I have to go into the location settings and change from battery saving to either device only or high accuracy. Is there a simpler way?

Also, I noticed when I have location on in any way my battery drains much faster. I get an inordinate number of wakelocks from Google Play Services via NlpWakeLock and NlpCollectorWakeLock. Does anyone else have this issue? And is it something that has been addressed in the nightlies since the M2 snapshot (my current build)?

Edit: I have noticed to that when I have location services off, I still get a intrusive wakelock from google via EntriesRefresh_wakelock. Seems like my battery is damnded if I do and damned if I don't use location services.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] random45:
my phone wouldnt even boot up yesterday. Cyandelta is quite nice in this regard, since you can just go back and flash the previous nightly.

Today's nightly works just fine so far for any one wanting to know
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
i just updated mine which was 1/14 release to last nights 2/3 release...i have no issues, camera works, has the sd card save function and all, my phone rocks lol but to answer you, i leave mine on high accuracy but locations off until i need to actually use it for gps or maps...but, pull down the drop bar from up top, tap that square on the top right corner and you'll get a flipped screen with options, hit "location off" and bam, your locations is now on and on whatever you set it to, like mine is high accuracy

as far as your battery, what does it say uses your battery the most? locations, wifi, bluetooth...all that stuff should be off at all times until you need them then off again, all they do is waste your battery by constantly scanning for points of access.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] orgon3:
I have an S3 (Verizon) with CM11 nightly from 1/20. Any nightly that I have tried since then has broken bluetooth autoconnections and sometimes wifi autoconnections. I've seen in the more recent changelogs that the wifi issues have been fixed. When I saw some BT stuff being fixed, I attempted it, but it still didn't work (autoconnect. Would even take a few attempts to get manually connecting to work an already paired device).

So my question is, has anyone had the same issue but found it was fixed in a more recent nightly? I'd like to update, but it gets annoying when I later find out BT doesn't work and I have to revert back. I'm just seeing if anyone knows if this has been fixed for good, or at least for now. Thanks.

What's the difference between the Nightly and the Snapshot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] orgon3:
The snapshot should be the same as the nightly from the night before it. If you do nightlies, there is no need to do the snapshot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheQuicken:
Nice Build, snapshot

Thanks for responding. I thought 1/29was smooth and clean. 2/6 is amazing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
Not really, the Snapshot is its own build, usually comes out once a month, and *should* be smoother/more stable than the preceding nightlies. Here is some info on the most recent one from the CM blog:

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cm-11-0-m3-release
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] orgon3:
Granted a fair amount of nightly changes get reversed later on for stability issues, but the info in that blog seems to spell out the latest nightly or milestone. I was going over the full changelog on my phone last night. Most, or all, of the changes have been in previous nightlies, including recent ones.

Do the milestones not carry over newly implemented major changes from the previous nightlies? I was told by others to not update to milestones if I've been doing nightlies, as there shouldn't be much of a difference. Perhaps I have been led astray. May I bother you for your recommendation on upgrading from nightlies to a milestone or a milestone to a nightly? (dirty flashing of course. the only way to go! :P)

Also, thank you everyone for all of your great feedback. I will use the latest nightly tomorrow (most likely, or tonight). If BT isn't working, I'll try 2/6 instead. Having said that, I do have one additional question. There shouldn't be a problem dirty flashing from a newer nightly to an older, right? If there is, I could always restore to 1/20 then upgrade.

Thanks again everyone. Your feedback is very much appreciated and so far extremely helpful. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
I don't know the exact details on the Snapshot builds regarding changes that happen every night being implemented, but I will say that I ran the previous M2 Snapshot for most of the month of January and it was outstanding! Very smooth, very stable. And yes, dirty flashing has never given me a problem!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xstefen:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] orgon3:
I updated to the latest nightly at the time (02/13) along with the latest gapps (2-11, standard). Everything was very successful. BT/WiFi auto-connect problems are all fixed. The battery life seems to be a tad less than before, but that might have just been a weird scenario. I'll continue to keep an eye on battery life.

In terms of the camera. I tried taking a few pictures last night and again just now. The camera becomes unresponsive after taking/saving the first picture. Quitting the camera app and restarting it yields a communication error with the camera. I restarted and checked out the front camera. It worked and didn't freeze after the first picture. I then switched to the back camera and I can now take more than one picture with it (it did not freeze/crash). So if you are having troubles with the back camera, switch to the front first, then back to the back.
