1: what i seen they only have nightlies

2:have u tried a different nightly or what i did re-download rom and flash rom itself (dirty flash) over the what u have. Might be a bad download or flash. (i did on pac man rom with mms issues)

3: this might help with ur sms issues For those of us on Verizon, try this from Mastamoon in the CM11 thread:<br />

<br />

"For you guys having mms problems, try using this apns file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/b9zatl31s5d6237/apns-conf.xml?dl=0. Just copy it to /system/etc, make sure permissions are good then reboot. <br />

<br />

I use this and don't have a problem. Obviously won't work well if your not on VZW."<br />

<br />

Seems to work best with the ML1 modem for me. Also, there's a good possibility the newest nightly might fix this built in. Have to wait and see.<br />

<br />

<br />

4) yes u can dirty flash but remember that it MAY cause some issues. Wipe catche and dalvik is good practice.

Hopefully i answered some if not all your questions and if i didn't well i at least replied to your post
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlucchetti:
Ah, app developer highlighted issue - I had some corrupted videos on the phone that caused the fc. Good to know.

1. as mentioned - nightlies, but many have been stable enough for daily use

2. What nightly did you flash?

3. SMS application that you are using?

4. Radio that you are on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tprophit:
On both 9/21 and 9/25, the alarm clock icon in the status bar is white, even tho on carbon fibers statusbar settings, use custom colors is checked. All other icons are blue. Not an issue with earlier versions.

Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khaoskosmos:
I had issues with YouTube videos playing, they were very glitchy. Can anyone confirm if this has been resolved?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlucchetti:
Works fine on 9/25 build. Had problems on first install, but then re-installed and all was fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tprophit:
On Carbon 9/25; stock kernel, NE1 baseband. All working well.

DId a Nandroid, then flashed the unofficial KT Kernel (that some have reported success with, others, get no mobile network, call or data). I'd tried the KT Kernel with 9/21 with no luck, so I thought I'd try with 9/25 and the new radio. Same result, no mobile network.

No biggie, just restore the nandroid.....except when I did, the phone was completely reset to I don't know what......but none of my accounts, settings, etc, were there. Phone took forever to boot up after restoring nandroid Tried another nandroid restore (of the same nandroid, that was just made this morning). Same thing. About phone says I have Carbon, etc. No accounts exist. Screen launcher not working.

Suggestions appreciated. Being unable to restore a nandroid i just made is scary...

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

EDIT, just tried restoring a 9/30 nandroid....same thing, won't restore data!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tprophit:
Tried this:

Do a full wipe and clean install of your favourite rom. Once it boots and you let it settle for a few minutes reboot recovery and restore your backup. I have done this method about 12-15 times. The error restoring was accompanied by the inability to reboot my phone at all without having a complete meltdown of every app force closing. It was after the first "bad reboot" I had that I got the error while trying to restore a backup. Hopefully you don't have o go through that. It sucked big time to say the least. Hope this helps

First attempt failed.

Trying again.

Did complete wipe. Flashed Carbon 9/25 and gapps. Started up, and after several reboots, loaded all my playstore apps. Made a nandroid of THAT. Attempted to restore the nandroid I made before this nightmare began. Same thing, error restoring data. Tried to restore the nandroid i made of the new flash, and IT won't restore.

I am stumped, and phoneless. Any help appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlucchetti:
I'd ask how many others on on this new baseband/radio? I'm still on ML1, so maybe that's where the issue lies? 9-25 works fine for me with Lean Kernel 9.15 exp. LOL, did not even know a new baseband was out there.

KT kernel, unless he just came out with a brand new one, does not have the commits that were made with the new builds of carbonrom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tprophit:
I was able to restore this morning's nandroid's system only. Intalled Superusersu an TiBu, changed nandroid ID back to original when prompted by TiBu, and am attempting to extract data from nandroid with TiBu. I've been on "Processing, please wait....0%' for 5 minutes...phone just shut down and is rebooting. Whole day wasted...

EDIT:

I changed baseband back to ML1. I nandroided where I was, which was clean install of Carbon 9/25, gapps, operation killjoy.

I'd had some success restoring a few things from nandroid backup, using TiBu. I nandroided THAT, then tried to restore my original nandroid. It to failed upon restoring data.

Am now attempting to restore the most recent nandroid, so not starting from scratch.

If that works, I think the only thing I can't replace is text messages. I use GoSMS pro, does anyone know the file name the nandroid would store them in, and, how I would extract them ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlucchetti:
I also use GO SMS Pro. I manually store bnackups, but unless you have auto backup set, don't know but they store backups in storage/emulated/0/gosms/backup/setting/zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tprophit:
All better. Restored system only from nandroid, after going back to ml1. Used TiBu to restore data from nandroid. Took a while, lot of reboots. Once done, dirty flashed same ROM. What a nightmare tho. No idea why original nandroid wouldn't restore. First time that's happened in 5 years.

Thanks for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PeakyBoo:
Same here..hmmm. On another note,

LK 9.15exp1 fixed BT incoming calls with sync in car. :good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PeakyBoo:
Just flashed Crbn10/12 with LK9.15exp1.

So far so good! :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlucchetti:
Likewise, flashed 3-4 hours ago, same setup, all seems good to go. Glad to see a build, been awhile. Saw some posts that server issues and building the builds has been problematic. Hope it gets sorted out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev. Voodoo:
A bit off topic, but some of you guys is pretty knowledgeable so this seemed like the place to ask. I haven't had 4g in a couple months now. I thought it might be due to Carbon issues and just let it slide.

The issue hasn't gone away, clean flash, dirty flash, it don't matter - currently running the 10/12 Carbon version, no other problems. Over the weekend I clean flashed a couple of different ROMs, no change. I'm running the ML1, I've tried global and LTE under preferred network, I'm on automatic for system select, and CDMA sub is set to RUIM/SIM.

Anybody have any suggestion on how to get my 4g back? I've exhausted my limited knowledge.....

On the 2/3 and 2/5 nightlies I've noticed that my phone has showed the roaming indicator at my home where I've never roamed before. I tried rebooting but that didn't work but toggling airplane mode did. Take this with a grain of salt I live in chester county pa and had my power off for 32 hours and it just came on today. Someone at my work mentioned their phone (not rooted) went into emergency mode because so many people were using their phones and didn't have power.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mav3rick478:
Anyone tried wallet on this Rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RRF12:
Go to mobile network an select lte/cdma an your roaming will go away its just on the wrong network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
Weird issue and not sure if it's either Rom related, kernel related or neither. On bms 2/5 test build. I'm hooked up to my car Bluetooth streaming play music. Have my phone in hand skipping tracks. Then I drop my phone literally 2 inches into the cup holder and it shut off. Happened twice. Never happened before on any other Rom. Barely an issue at all but decided to mention it. Thanks

The option is not in Carbon Fibers yet, but you can user ROM Toolbox to change it:

A couple of other options are textdroider app and editing your build prop via es file explorer.

On 2/5 everything was doing well until last night all the sudden my battery dropped from 78 to 14% in an hr. Now has been plugged in for 5hrs and only to 50%. Suggestions?

Turned Bluetooth off and charged right up..I looked at batt usage and it showed phone was 47% of battery drain. Never seen that before...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samman82:
Here's something important to me that I never see anyone post on (because it's not critical to the function of the phone.) How is the sound on this rom and other kk builds? I haven't moved over yet, partly because the sound drivers I have are so good. I hate getting tinny sounding roms where the music sounds like garbage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
I think that's a really good question. last night I noticed when I was on carbon rom, I got a call and I was thinking that the sound was better than some of the other KitKat roms. I dunno.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlucchetti:
I don't always see mine. Depends on where I am at, and if I am looking at it, which, frankly, is not often. I know it pops in and out as I drive, or move around in a building. Settings are global, automatic and ruim/sim as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev. Voodoo:
I live in a decent area for it so I should be getting it, I know I used to have 4g pretty much everywhere except at my work. It just went away about 2 months ago and has been gone since....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
You say you don't see 4g but what about LTE? They are the same just show up differently in some ROMs

My other suggestion would be go back to MB1 baseband. I had problems with texting awhile back because of newer basebands.

Watch, as I combine all the juice from my mind...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bitemeoftn:
My only problem is getting Google Wallet's tap and pay to work. Does anyone know of a modified .apk, or some settings I could change in the build.prop to get it working again? I haven't seen much verification of it working since KK first came out last year.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kawirider1228:
So I've been on this rom for a very long time and have always experience random reboots here and there. No matter the nightly or the kernel I use I'd experience it about once every week or so. These last few days I've been having about 3 or 4 a day and I haven't touched a thing since the 9/25 nightly. Any ideas?? It always seems to happen when I'm doing something important like typing a long text or reading an email which is the biggest pain..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev. Voodoo:
No LTE or 4G... just 3G all the time. I've tried various basebands ... hell I just installed the NE1 modems for funsies... no change
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khaoskosmos:
Is it just me, or is the sidebar used to select your device on https://carbonrom.org/downloads/ missing??? I'm using a Safari on a Macbook Pro.

Same thing checking from my galaxy s3... although I did get to actually see those hideous ads...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlucchetti:
Interestingly enough, when I turn wifi off when I'm in the house, 4G pops right up. I turn it back on using settings from the status bar and 4 g disappears....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PeakyBoo:
Flashed Crbn10/16 with LK 9.15exp1.

Response to 4g-lte on 10/12 &10/16....

I haven't experienced any issues with it. I have mine set to show LTE. I even switched it back n forth by checking "use 4g icon" in Crbn-Statusbar-General. Still no issues. Hmmmm Sorry I can't help.

How is GPS lock on this ROM? Any problems like other AOSP releases are seeing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tprophit:
3-5 minutes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Det0natoR:
I get 3D lock in about 3 seconds according to GPS Test Plus. I have always had an issue with GPS until it is toggled after every reboot. I have tasker set to do this for me automatically on every reboot so I never have to worry about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RandomXDAUser:
Having Bluetooth problems, currently on 10/16 build. When I connect the phone to my car stereo, I get an error on my phone that the Bluetooth service "has stopped unexpectedly".

If I only connect audio it works, but when I connect phone, the error pops up and Bluetooth disconnects. This problem occurs on all the carbonrom builds I've used.

CyanogenMod roms that work just fine with my car, so it seems ROM specific. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RandomXDAUser:
Upon further inspection, the bluetooth crash only happens after selecting "yes" when my phone asks to give my car permission to access messages.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlucchetti:
Interesting as my car always indicates that the rom does not support messaging when I check. Yeasrs ago, maybe under ICS, messaging was supported. Can't remember the ROM I was running at the time, may have been aokp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1900mcm:
I was hoping this was a fix for me. I created a 'secure settings' based tasker 'at boot' gps toggle. I rebooted.

My lock is still laggy. expletive!

Great idea - i hope my milage eventually varies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
I fixed mine by flashing old and slows TW ROM, getting a lock and leaving location set to high accuracy for a couple days. After that I clean flashed an aosp ROM while still locked and it seems to work fine. I leave location set to high accuracy all the time now even though I know I'm probably taking a hit to battery life. That being said the GPS on this phone has always been a bit iffy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Det0natoR:
Try setting it up for secure settings to disable GPS on shutdown and enable on boot (2 rules).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matalo:
After flashing I still cannot get a lock. I tried toggle trick but no dice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev. Voodoo:
On eproblem fixed, one new one! After the discussion about possible problems with 4G/LTE on my phone.... it decided to randomly show up again yesterday. Literally while I was looking at my phone. So I got my 4G back.... guessing it must have been something on Verizon's end because I wasn't changing anything...

Now, quick question. Might have been drinking at the time, lol. I woke up to find my Chrome browser in the floating mode. Thing is, I can't get it out of floating mode. I've tested several other apps which I can get in and out of floating mode just fine, but Chrome is stuck. I've cleared data, uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. It's stuck. Don't know if I hit some setting I didn't know existed while boozed up and now can't find it? Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1900mcm:
My chrome beta was stuck that way.

Try using the task list to select it. (run it, hit home button, bring up the task list, pick it) you might try a long press on the app, pick floating mode, go back to home screen and then just pick it directly from the task list.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1900mcm:
Darn loose screws.

Thanks for the tasker! I will def keep it in place.

I tightened the screws under the back cover and i'm getting 10-20ft resolution in < 15 sec.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlucchetti:
Ditto!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlucchetti:
Hotspot/tethering does not appear to be working on 10/30 build and lk9.15 exp.

Confirmed - works fine on 10/23 with lk 9.15 exp. Will continue to test other builds.

Works fine with 10/26 and lk 9.15 exp

okay, issue appears to be with last lean kernel build 9.15 exp as hotspot/tethering works on 10/30 without this custom kernel.

If you try to flash all three together, it does not work. Flash rom and gapps first, let set, then reboot and install lean kernel and it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PeakyBoo:
I take it you mean do a Clean flash since your flashing Gapps, yes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlucchetti:
LOL, I dirty flash all three together. Never had a problem over all the builds until this one. So you can dirty flash rom and gapps, then reboot and just flash the kernel and it works fine, then, for me. YMMV.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pmdied:
Anyone else having GPS issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matalo:
Yes. I still don't have a working GPS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlucchetti:
GPS works, go out back and I get a quick fix with lots of satellites. My gps problem is when I navigate by car with teh phone using Maps, I consistently lose signal, came back, then gets lost again. If I don't use maps, seems I have a lot of satellites and good fix, so I am leaning towards the app as the problem.

Circle Bar is really cool;

(Settings-CarbonFibers-Interface nd scroll all the way last one);

View attachment 3004211

Multi-Window works but IMO;

1) Phone screen to small to be of any use.

2) Cumbersome to use. Doesn't stay set. You must tell it what apps to float, when u want them to float, each session u want them to.

JIMO!
