Will this make Maps version 8 work correctly, is it 8? Can it be updated?

Tried and it fails, permission is denied to copy or move either file into System/Apps. Using ES or ROM Toolbox with root privileges.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lvpre:
I agree. No problems here. This is the best big maps update in a while. I think 5 may have been the best prior to this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Its 6.14.2 and yes it can be updated. Not sure what your permission issue is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
In ES File Explorer did you make sure to allow permission for the system ? As in the screenshots below.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Super Dave426:
Thanks, that worked but it is version 6, it is stable but version 8 gives me problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] woodyth:
K need advice. The neighbors s3 with the nd8 stock update has considerable more signal than mine. With my lack of a PC unit, I have decided to go back to stock just to see the difference. Any advice on how to do this without a PC and Odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Although v8 is nice, if it's not working for you. Then yes I'd stick with a version that is working for you. I know first hand how annoying it is not having maps working correctly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
The good thing about putting version 6.14.2 in the system/app folder is you can update in the playstore to the latest version but if you don't like it, uninstall it via the playstore and you just drop back to 6.14.2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Super Dave426:
I just grabbed some older version apks from Android Police, uninstall one install another, they're just sitting in my download folder. What's nice on newer versions, like 7.6, is the transit schedule is there when I work on a job and take the train in.

Does anyone have issues with people not being able to hear you on the phone when using this rom?

Since I've had it install my wife cannot understand me on her stock S3 when at home, so I end up calling the house line to talk to her. I thought it was the towers by my work but I was wrong.

I rooted her phone and installed this room and now her friends can't hear her so I gotta put her back to stock. Some people have issues hearing me and others dont, but guaranteed that if you have an S3 you can't hear me through all the digital gamble.

Anyone have anybideas???:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] erikalin:
phone -> menu -> call settings -> noise reduction

Turn it off. Noise Reduction sounds like a good thing but it's usually the problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] velocity250:
Little Help Please, I searched!!!

I know this has been discussed and discussed, but i was hoping to have clarification. I was on 4.1.2 and rooted and installed CWM, installed the custom MD4 with the bootloader, rooted, kind of an all in one update that was safe and I apologize, I don't remember who's Rom it was. From there, I have been on MOAR for the last 8 months or so. I updated CWM at one point when it was highly suggested to do so before updating to latest MOAR.

When I go in download mode I see:

Odin Mode

Product Name SPH L710

Custom Binary Download: Yes (1 counts)

Current Binary: Custom

System Status: Custom

Qualcom SecureBoot: Enable

I don't know what tripped the count to 1, but I have had charging cable issues and only an HTC cable will charge my S3, nothing else. And ive tried 15 cables and charges, etc. Its definitely the phone.

Being it is still under 1 year warranty, it apparently needs to go to Samsung. Is there a way to erase the binary count and I assume "Custom" for current binary and system status will go away if a stock recovery is installed so I can have them warranty repair/swap the phone?

Also, I guess somehow the dropdown says: System Update Downloaded, Touch to install.

I read how to turn off reminder, etc but am i going to have an issue now that it already somehow downloaded??? I was trying to find where it downloaded to and could not. I don't want to accidentally hit install or restart my phone and it installs automatically with KNOX when i have done everything NOT to get KNOX.

Thank you in advance for anyone's help, as this is the BEST ROM and BEST people and I don't want to have ND8 of a sudden install and kill my MOAR, especially if I can clear the binary download and send out for warranty. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!!!!! I appreciate any time taken to assist me, so again thank you!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Odin md4 and send in for repair... You don't have Knox so you are safe to Odin md4,which will clear that counter and then you can send to Samsung
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] velocity250:
Thank you very much for your response!!!! Do you know where I can go to find the already somehow downloaded update to delete it?? I tried hitting thanks but it's not coming up as an option. But I sincerely appreciate your response, thank you!!!!

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

Also, do I do a stock untouched, unrooted md4?? Thank you again, you are awesome!!!

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

Why does this say don't restore if on MK3 already???

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1904099
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] erikalin:
That is addressed to people who took the MK3 OTA and thus had Knox. Read the top of the OP you linked to just so you can know for yourself. It shows a screenshot for how you can check to make sure you're okay (don't have Knox). You don't, so you are okay, but you can check like the OP suggests as well, then no worries. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
No worries, you dont have Knox and the downloaded update will be erased when you odin the stock md4 rom... Don't forget to backup your internal sd before hand of there are things you want to keep because your internal will be formatted in the process
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Super Dave426:
OK Maps just updated again on the 20th, so I gave it a shot. It works fine if you put in a destination, real nice in fact. It announced losing the Satellite once and didn't lose it on the way back (same location), maybe it never announced it before. What I can't do is open it up and drive around, just using it for traffic, I'll use Waze for that. What happens just opening Maps and driving around it spins direction unless I lock it North and the screen turns off. At least it is now usable for destinations.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Have you tried calibrating your gyroscope?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Super Dave426:
Yes I did, it is on the SlimKat menu, under advanced. I even checked and unchecked the Use Calibration Data, and then calibrated again. Strange.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
So you're on AOSP? That's probably your problem... Just saying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Super Dave426:
I had the problem start on MOAR 9 so I tried a KitKat ROM to see if it cleared up on 4.4,but it acted the same. I doubt it is the ROM. I am going to flash ND8 soon and load another TW one and see how it acts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Is it still under warranty? If so, I'd see about getting Sprint / Samsung to fix it before flipping your Knox / Warranty bit by rooting ND8.

Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII with M.O.A.R. v9.0, dkp kernel dated 3/20/2014 and TWRP v2.7.0.0.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Super Dave426:
Na, the phone is 2 years old, I do have Ensquared but it's hard to make a claim when only Maps is acting up. The phone is golden otherwise. Anyway I am eligible for an upgrade, just like being out of the contract and changing Roms makes it seem like a new phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] barberboy420:

It has been mentioned you long press the notification, select app info and uncheck notifications and it will go away for a while. Worked on my wife's stock GS3, came back 2 days later and she did it again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Yes. Just flash, reboot and done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] makskylan:
I have an update on my that's the says it's ready to install. Is that from sprint or some update to this ROM? I had this happen on another ROM but I had to flash an updated script to get rid of the notification

Woke up this morning and gas won't work and if I try to activate it system ui crashes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
I'm sure this is a typo but.... MOAR will not start nor drive your car for you.

I'm pretty sure you meant GPS, and someone else mentioned this happening as well... So just out of nowhere? Nothing flashed/modified from when it was working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mech8:
Yes auto correct hates me. Lol yes nothing installed or anything it would act up b4 and not work until restart even tho it says it was on but somehow it just went off by itself and won't come back on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Unistall Google Maps, and reboot. Then Install Google Maps from the Play store again. Also install GPS Status & Toolbox. Open up GPS Status, and let it get a lock on you. Be patient it might take a few minutes. Then open up maps, and let it find you ( give it a minute ) . It should lock on, and you will be good to go after that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mech8:
thanx for that however it didnt work it cant even enable the gps fuction and if i try to do it manually it just says settings has crashed.

Is this happening to you? I have SwiftKey as my default keyboard and every time I use the keyboard, it defaults back to the Samsung keyboard? Any ideas? It just started happening today...

I'm on the latest MOAR w/ ktoons kernel (peg/row, 1.7/81) 4.3 build, greenified, clean master.

TIA!!!

SOLVED!!!

Turns out I "greenified" the swiftkey app! A quick "un-greenified" and all is well (brain fart)

Sorry for the off topic, carry on and back to my corner...

Thanks for your help [MENTION=4829480]erikalin[/MENTION]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] erikalin:
Hi. Yeah it's a thing that just sometimes happens, on any phone/carrier/ROM. Possible fixes are everywhere. Ask Google and you'll get a lot of suggestions for this common issue - i.e. clear data, convert to system app. I think like five different people on this forum shared these OT ideas a couple days ago too on one of the threads here, so just search and try all those suggestions already given.

Edit:

Since this is totally OT I'll continue in the same one post...

Yeah I don't remember where it came up the other day on here, but it comes up over time. I also have Swiftkey. On my old Epic 4G Touch, it would seem to go away and I'd have stock keyboard back. When I froze or removed the stock keyboard (or renamed "bak" as you found) I'd get a FC because Swiftkey still wouldn't stick so then I just had no keyboard. Clearing data, reverting versions, updating, converting to system app... some of these work for some people, so try it all out. On my S3, I never had the problem at all. On my HTC One M8, Swiftkey will only stick around for like ten minutes then it's back to stock keyboard. I've honestly tried all fixes and never got one to work for me, so I just mourned the loss of my Swiftkey. It doesn't happen to everyone, and some people's fixes work. I acquired my copy when it was a FAOTD on the Amazon App Store, so I always assumed my issues were from stupid Amazon appstore processes. FWIW, I find that a way to get yourself to hate Swiftkey and be okay with losing it is to become frustrated that you can't theme the color of the "flow" trail, lol. Try the fixes. For most people, one will work. ;) Cheers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rhodiggah:
Thanks for the suggestions. Honestly, this is the first time I've heard of this issue. A quick search turned up one promising solution which is to rename the (Samsung keyboard) apk with a .bak ending...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mech8:
yeah seems the whole system is getting bad its slowing down and having more and more errors. Think im going to stock 4.4 until the Note 4 comes out. to try some of that kitkat goodness. would anyone have a link to noobz hotspot. really wanna carry that over
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shazo85:
Anyone else having issues with the camera? Doesn't matter what app I'm using it will just randomly not detect the camera and only fix is to reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Super Dave426:
Running SlimKat 4.4 and it has Hotspot built in, look around the ROM might have it built in. Didn't have to change my modem to flash SlimKat, pretty lean and smooth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
When was the last time time you rebooted the device ? Have you tried Wiping Caches, and Fixing Permissions ?

If you are looking for the working Native Hotspot Mod for ND8. You can get it HERE.

Stock Rooted DeOdexed, and Odexed ND8 can be found on THIS THREAD.

Do you have any other issues occurring ? Have you tried Wiping Cahces ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ryno2333:
This happened to me last week. I had to wipe and do a clean install to get gps working again. Every time I turned it on I got a system UI crash. It's working fine now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shazo85:
I have issues with chrome however I have always had issues with it on my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] schlepprock:
Since odining KK/ND8 and installing M.O.A.R I too have been having issues. Every time I reboot I get a mobile data crash message ( next time I reboot I'll edit it in ), I've been having freeze ups ( running balance bull, ktoonservative, and stock profile on Ktoons kernel). I tried the edge zoom thing and something didn't go right so I did a clean re flash of M.O.A.R wiping cache/ dalvic and formating everything except boot and it still does it.

EDIT: when I reboot I get a mobile data failure message and message EHRPD:7
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] schlepprock:
I have a question regarding M.O.A.R. It says "hot spot mod". Does this mean I can run internet on my laptop by being connected through my phone without a plan and Sprint not know about it? (not that I'm trying to do anything illegal :angel: ). Thanks..Phil
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Notorious:
Yup you turn on your hotspot and connect your laptop to it and sprint will never know unless you have insane amount of data used as in the 10GB+
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meyerweb:
A little Googling leads me to believe that this is related to the hand-off between EVDO (3G) and LTE (4G). That doesn't solve your problem, I realize. If you run plain KitKat does everything work correctly?

If you haven't already, I'd try the standard data problem rememdies: In Settings, update profile and PRL. In the dialer, enter ##72786# and let the phone reprovision.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] schlepprock:
Thanks, I haven't tried the data reset (##72786# ) I did do a clean install of M.O.A.R. I haven't tried running just KK though. I had to get a replacement phone and was without my S3 for a week (don't give a crack addict crack for a week and you'll understand) LMAO. But when I got my new S3 I couldn't help myself, I odined KK/ND8, rooted, and reflashed M.O.A.R. There's a little instability somewhere but I don't know if it's M.O.A.R, ND8, or Philz, or KToonsez. I'm not bashing cause I LOVE my S3 now because of them all, just trying to figure out an issue and maybe help anyone else having issues by bringing this up :good:...Phil

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

Ok, I just tried the ##72786# reset and after it did the song and dance and rebooted I got the same error message and "mobile data failure" message. And come to think of it I don't rercall seeing 4G since I updated to ND8. HMM..Phil
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I would suggest doing ##72786# again. Let it do it's thing. Then after it's done, and things have settled for a minute, or so. Switch on WiFi, update Profile, update PRL, and reboot.

If that still does not resolve the issue. Make sure that the towers / network in your area are not being worked on.

The last thing you can do is call Sprint. Have them reset your data on their end. It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. DO NOT MENTION YOU ARE ROOTED.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dquangt:
searched the thread for "system update downloaded" but the answer didn't come up. i'm not ready to update to 4.4 just yet so i'm wondering if i'm SOL now that it says the update is already downloaded. i was hoping it was just a notification that i could get rid of so i flashed the zip from HERE, but that didn't work.

updating to 4.4 while on MOAR will mess up the phone and i should avoid doing so, right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It says right in that post "non-flashable". You have to replace it manually. Or just long click on the notification and hit App Info and then Uncheck Notifications. Trying to flash the official update will fail, because you are not on the official firmware (yours is custom).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] saraneil1210:
If you are on moar it wont install even if you tried to.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dquangt:
Actually no, it says there's a flashable AND a build.prop (manually replace). There's 2 files linked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Well then you may want to try the manual ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] schlepprock:
I tried again this morning and still get the same errors. While doing the data reset after the fist re boot the 4Glte icon pops up for like two seconds and then goes away. I was hoping for a few more ideas before I try to revert back to stock KK. My wife's phone is stock and she gets 4Glte.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] view9234:
Has anyone updated their kernel on MOAR 9.0.1? I had to do a clean install and noticed that DPK has updated his kernel several times from the version included in 9.01. My question is which version of his kernal works with this ROM? Also, has anyone updated their kernel? (He doesn't seem to list update logs for the benefits)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
He hasn't made a 4.4 TW kernel so any of the 4.3 TW ones will work on MOAR
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] view9234:
Thanks, does that mean any of them listed on this page will work? (What's the difference in the labeling mean?)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
Any of the ones listed TW 4.3 will work. He just added d2vmu to signify that they are compatible with Virgin Mobile as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] view9234:
Has anyone used any of DPK's newer kernels? (Without a changelog it's hard to determine whether it's worth updating)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yes, the 3/20 version was quite an improvement, it only takes a minute to update a kernel unlike a ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
I was using the 4/26 with MOAR and it worked great for me. Couldnt tell you about the 5/15 since I was on KK when it was released.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] molitar:
Question: I am going to add another phone line to the Framily Plan would you recommend the Samsung Galaxy S5 as the best phone to purchase at this time?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] view9234:
That's a totally subjective question (and also not really relevant to this thread) but yes, I think most people here would say the GS5 is the best Android phone currently available on Sprint. Second place would likely be the new HTC One M8. I'd recommend using the 'compare' feature on phonearena.com to get a better idea of features & reviews. Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Super Dave426:
I would go to a Sprint store and play with the phones to see what you like, my wife has stated that she wants an S5 when her phone dies because she is familiar with the Samsung ecosystem. Myself I am leaning towards the M8, but want to play with a Nexus 5 and Moto X also, so I am still undecided.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlvinT:
Sprint Upgrade: Galaxy S5 vs HTC One , Upgrades

This is kinda off topic, but there's no place I know of to get higher quality answers

I'm probably gonna get the Galaxy S5 and the wife prefers what appears to be the greater sturdiness of the HTC One M8. BUT the folks at Sprint tell us we have to change plans (I now have 4 phones on an unlimited data and 1500 combined minutes, which has been just fine for us). They say i't's an additional $30 per phone. Now ...am I stuck with that? can I keep my current plan?

Eager to hear from you smart guys

Cheers

Al
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] molitar:
Thanks.. yeah about the only bad feature that I read about on the S5 is the speakers and plastic case did not really get improved but the video quality is better it seems and since I use it to watch it to stream videos often than that seems like the one to go with. Especially since I use a case like Seido Active with kickstand. The camera is also under bright light stated that it takes very good pictures while the M8 is better at low light but not as good as bright light.

Speakers can get a decent blue tooth speaker for watch video if I want to or headset so that is easily fixed inexpensively but display is not and the SG5 was rated best display for outdoor use. Add to that water resistant for rain that may happen I agree I think it's the better deal.

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

Only if you buy the phone with contract if you buy the phone full retail no contract than no you can just pay the additional $30 and keep the same plan. The Sprint Family Plan which you have can have up to 5 lines so you will be fine but if you decide to not pay for the phone outright than you will have to pay full price. You have another option to pay for phone and that is full price over 24 months under the easy pay program. But if you want the phone subsidized cheaper than you will have to renew your contract for 2 years again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] warstoke:
yeah they are fulll of it unless you are not eligible for upgrade you can still upgrade normally and keep your same plan

they are trying to get you to convert to framily plan but thats not required just go to radioshack and upgrade there instead
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlvinT:
I understand all that, I can get the upgrade for the $199 or so since it has been over 24 months since my last upgrade. But what I don't get is the additional $30 a month charge ... they say the plan I now have is no longer offered and it must change when I upgrade one of my (four) lines
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bbrita:
I just upgraded one of my lines you dont have to change plans i have the same plan you have, they want you to upgrade because our plan is no longer available and they have to subsidize your phone where as on the framily plan you buy it monthly, also you cant upgrade one line. dont do it you wont be able to get that plan back. like someone else said go to radio shack or best buy there isnt a 30 fee. hope this helps.
