Found a weird little bug with the M6 build for d2lte. For some reason, I can't toggle switches anymore. Initially when the phone booted, I turned on Developer Mode and turned the switch on to activate USB Debugging. However, now, I can't turn things on or off via the toggles. This wasn't an issue before.

Hi guys. I have a feeling a lot of you don't know about this because I still see people using ART over dalvik. This link is to a thread in the Nexus 4 forum that is about an optimized dalvik. This makes your phone faster than ART, and because you are still using dalvik, you can install xposed framework. I have attached the zip you have to flash to this post so that you don't flash the wrong one (This is the exact same one from the thread). It works on our phone, trust me. I have been using it for a very long time. I know this may mean nothing to many of you but my Quadrant scores have improved from around 5000 to 6500, with OC using KT's kernel I can reach around 8000. Anyway have fun trying it out.

Edit: You need to reflash this if you install a new nightly. Wipe your dalvik cache after flashing this. You do not need to wipe dalvik if you flash this right after you flash a nightly.

Sorry for a second post. I have a quick question. If I install CM11 on an already sim-unlocked stock S3 will this affect the sim unlock?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tejajuloori:
same camera issues I had with the previous CM versions are in M6 too- 'camera error- can't connect to camera', camera starts working only when I clear media storage and camera data and reboot the phone

where do I send this bug report?

Little update, here. That whole LTE break about a month or two ago that caused LTE to be broken and needing to flash back to stock to get it working again (which I never did)...well...I just flashed a nightly on Saturday night and my LTE has been working with no drops for about 12 hours now.

I guess only time will tell.

Flashed on my d2att running CM11 M6. Seems to have given mine a boost. No bootloop here. Thank you!

The only reason I do not run ART is because I use Xposed. I use the Google Now Launcher and The Google Search API for Xposed is a wonderful thing!

Does M6 still have that obnoxious SMS mark-as-read bug?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:

Is that referring to the glitch where you go in the SMS app but the SMS notification doesn't disappear? Or is it something else?

Finally, someone else with this issue. Mine seems to happen if the phone is on for a day or so. I can force it by using the AT&T voice mail app. It immediately garbles sound loudly, even after the app is closed. Then no phone calls are possible. Everyone sounds like a loud robot. A bit like talking through a fan.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pmgnet:
Same here, in kind. I hope to dump the s3 as soon as I can find an affordable alternative which is

Cm or aosp capable

Decently priced

No bigger, maybe same size or less, but with less bezel. I run with phone in hand

External SD or 64g

2g ram or more

Same camera or better, with real autofocus, or IS

Can see screen in daylight.

How big is the upcoming g3? One plus one looked good but is too wide.

Google play s4?

---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

I understand completely. I cannot withstand touchwiz, either. Generally, 10.2 might be a great choice.

I hate to say this but the best ROM from cm for this device was a late cm10 December build, around 12/5/2012 when cm11 was early beta. I have too many posts after about phone, audio, Bluetooth, network, battery.

It seems the issue is proprietary drivers for the device and Samsung didn't get us a good 4.4 version.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
No, more than 2gb left. Hmmm

Edit: Format system then re-install rom + gapps and now it's fine. Thanks for your help. :)

Don't know if you've done it already, but I would try backing up all your data (including internal SD card!) and formatting /data then proceeding with a re-install of rom, gapps and restoring your backed up data. It's important that you don't just do a factory reset/wipe because this only deletes the content (without deleting sdcard), doesn't do a format.

So funny! I got at least two minutes of laughter posting this, and I'm laughing again, now. Trying not to wake my wife. I think I didn't do anything special when this happened. Just regular use, browsing, reading feeds, turning screen off, on...

It occurred to me that I haven't seen a crash since this, that often I'll get one reboot after a flash, then not again... strange, no rhyme or reason, but seemingly a pattern. I haven't seen a reboot since this one I posted. The log is esoteric and ominous, but not repeatable.

Maybe I'll be fine again.

I'm on May 6th snapshot. Cyandelta and Rom manager both are not showing any new updates. Anybody knows why? Cyandelta used to work just fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] soccermon15:
Not sure about ROM Manager. With Cyandelta, I noticed that it seems to only show updates for the type of installation you're on. So if you have a snapshot installed, the only updates it's going to show are snapshots, which will only happen monthly. If you have a nightly installed, you'll see an update every day for each nightly.

What kernel would you guys recommend with CM 11?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nico3d3:
I recommend DKP kernel as it have a good choice of governors and it's one of the most stable kernel.

I recently reinstalled the pure CM11 (coming from Mokee ROM which is based on CM), I was pleasantly surprised to see that even with a Nightly build, it is now quite stable. Also, the new theme engine is awesome.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] keithfrombm:
I used it for awhile, but after every update using it, my GPS would stop working. I had to download the full CM Nightly and flash it from recovery to fix it. After this happened five or six times I stopped using it.

My d2att is acting funky... The power menu keeps popping up by itself. After flashing back and forth to M6 and 5/20, somehow I lost the quick settings panel, all notification icons in status bar, and the home button doesn't activate launcher... Anyone experienced this before? Maybe my hardware is dying...

EDIT: Think the power menu popping up by itself was due to stuck button. But the other problems seems to be a software issue with M6. http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/93103-cm11-m6-launcher-issue/

EDIT 2: Solution was in that thread!

1 download activity launcher app from play store

2 Open it, select all activites

3 in list search for setup wizard activity

4 in setup wizard, select third activity "google & location"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
I've had power button issues myself, and ended up just taking the phone apart to clean the inside of the button with a dental pick.

Quicksettings might've gotten broken switching between ROMs, you might need to format /data. (BACKUP FIRST!)

For the home button issue, make sure you've got compatible GApps installed on top of your current ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xiphosurus:
Thanks for the tips. Instead of formatting /data, I tried to restore to a backup. Unfortunately, it seems that TWRP encrypted backups doesn't seem to be able to decrypt properly anymore! It keeps saying the password is wrong though I'm sure my supplied password is correct. Others have reported seeing the same problem with CM11 and TWRP encrypted backups. http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/104

I guess my misfortune can at least serve as a good warning to all those that are using TWRP for encrypted backups!

What is DKP kernel? I've run CM11 a few weeks and beyond the volume glitch during calls(simply fixed by turning volume down and back up) this ROM rocks! I'd like to try the kernel you guys were talking about and try and improve battery life/performance on this great ROM.

CM11 kernel gives similar results battery wise to other kernels. Other kernels just offer more flexibility when it comes to snapiness vs battery. (choice of more governors, io schedulers etc etc)

Since it seems you might be starting in the world of custom roms, you might want to make sure you understand the implications of switching kernels and the problems that might arise. :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JamesRF:
Ok thanks for the link. I will try it out and hope it's more stable then the other kernel i've tried.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ScOULaris:
It's definitely the most stable kernel out there, from my experience. I haven't had a single random reboot, audio glitch, or any other common issue that I've run into with other kernels. It's really impressive in that regard.

Give it a shot, and use something like Trickster Mod if you want to be able to tweak more than just the governor/IO scheduler.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nico3d3:
Yep TricksterMOD is great for undervolting (lowering the voltage used by the CPU). I experienced good results by lowering it by -100mv across all frequencies. The phone is still stable and it should help with battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Camron708:
Weird issue with my phone that I am wondering if anyone else has run into. The GPS locks fairly quick on my phone but after 15-20 minutes, the phone loses the GPS lock and it becomes extremely sluggish. This is to the point that EVERYTHING on the phone lags. Sometimes I have rebooted the phone and it still runs extremely sluggish (even without launching Google Maps). HOWEVER, as soon as I get home, the phone stops laggings and works fine again. I also run a dashboard cam app and even the video recordings skip every 6-7 seconds when the phone starts acting up.

I have ran the phone in safe mode and the issue persisted. I enabled CPU draws to see what was using the CPU and the only processes were either Google or system processes. I have flashed to the May 5th nightly with the same issue. Not sure what is causing the problem but it has pretty much rendered my phone useless. I'll do a clean wipe and install the latest nightly before I just flash stock ROM back on the phone.

If anyone has ran into this problem and knows how to resolve it, it would be much appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blasterrr:


I am coming from CM10. I was flashaholic with CM10, installing nightlies on daily basis. I have recently installed M6. My phone starts lagging after some heavy usage. This happens even without GPS. I have used task killer to empty out Ram. If I am lucky that will solve the sluggishness, otherwise a reboot. Just sharing my experience with you. Not too sure what's causing your intense lagging. If you can afford to loose data by doing a format, then do so (recover later with titanium ). That formatting should help fix things up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
Mine does the same thing. It's crappy thermal throttling that's slowing our CPUs down too much at too low of a temp cutoff, just causing the whole phone to slow to a dead stall. Ingress is the biggest culprit for this issue.

Edit: You can probably fix this with a custom kernel and an app like TricksterMod.

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

See above. ^
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Camron708:
Thanks, that would make a lot of sense given that it works fine once it is at home but in the car it overheats like no tomorrow. I'll try flashing a custom kernel and see if it makes an improvement. I don't have Ingress installed so I am thinking just the GPS function tied to the dash cam recorder is enough to overheat it.

Did CM change the kernel considerably from CM 10? It just seems odd they changed the throttle temp as I could run CM10 on considerably hotter days attached to my windshield with no problems.

Anyways, I will try flashing a new kernel and see if the issue persists. Any recommendations? I haven't messed with kernels since my Galaxy S2 days, haha.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
No major kernel changes as far as I know, although I think there was some changes in KitKat to how thermal throttling was handled by Android. I'm sure that when ART takes over, we'll have no speed complaints again, but in the meantime I see people suggesting DKP kernel in the past couple pages. (I'd go to ART now, but... Xposed.... lol)

is anyone having trouble with docks with no built-in audio output?

i found this thread over at CM's forum:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/76566-dock-audio-on-102/

i have this dock:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-D200BEGSTA

and basically it has the ability to plug speakers to the dock, but when i am charging my phone over night, my alarm is trying to output to the speakers that aren't there. according to the thread above, it's been around since CM 10.2 with no fixes since Jan. 29 (the latest reply on the thread).

You mean docks with USB audio I imagine? I have a charging only dock and everything is fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhomiec:
i didn't even realize it until i searched for the product listing. but the dock has an 3.5mm audio out jack. and i'm thinking because of this, all sounds are routed there, even though there isn't anything plugged into the audio.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
This sounds similar to the problem I have with my iBolt car dock. It has the ability to route audio through the dock (to allow plugging into a car's auxiliary input, if it has one). The problem is that ALL audio is being routed through when the phone is plugged into the dock, not just media audio, which means that Google Navigator voice navigation is unusable (because the voice isn't coming through the speaker). This didn't happen on earlier versions of CM 10; like you said, it started happening around CM 10.2, and has obviously carried over to CM 11. It frustrates me no end, as I don't use the phone's media audio and don't want the audio rerouted (because it also suppresses the ringer, system, and notification audio), and there's no way to stop this from happening. I seem to recall a setting that controlled this, but it's either no longer present or doesn't work (and was probably in Advanced Settings, which no longer exists).
