[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sgloki77:
at least you guys, have the factory image to flash through odin , AT&T I think,was the only north american carrier who didn't rolled it out, so for us once you are on NE4 there's no odin restore to stock
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blasterrr:
I was getting a lock under 1 minute with unmodified gps. Config. After changing AGPS server using faster GPS and changing servers it locks in under 30 seconds. Give it a shot.

Last time I used Bell stock image it was during CM 10 days. I couldn't get it to boot either. I was trying to update bootloader at that time when zip firmwares via recovery were not readily available. I had to format SD card in order to go stock using ODIN.

Which modem/bootloader are you on? I'm on NH2
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
MK5. Already tried a custom gps conf, tw based rom still won't lock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blasterrr:
MK5 it's a 4.3 based bootloader? Any reason that you aren't updating to NH2?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Because I don't need to. :cyclops:

Actually didn't even plan on updating to MK5, but that's a pre-requisite for > 4.1.1 TW roms.

Edit: Going to ODIN that baby to NH2 and be done with it. I'll see how that goes, waiting on the rom to download at pre-2001 speeds. Thank you SamMobile!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ominousnimbus:
I've been on the 20140913 nightly for over a month, because WiFi hotspot is broken on more recent nightlies (at least, everything from October thus far).

However, I've also discovered a bug in 20140913 that prevents receiving or sending MMS while connected to WiFi. Unfortunately, that nightly was a clean install for me, so I have no nandroids from prior to that. The MMS bug was documented by others, and was apparently fixed on the 20140917 nightly.

Does anyone happen to have, or know where I could obtain, nightlies from around and just after 9/17? I'm hoping there might be a sweet spot after the MMS bug is fixed but before the hotspot bug appears. If I had it to do over, I'd just go back to a late August or early September nightly, but I don't have time for another clean install right now.

Or, if someone by chance knows a method for fixing the MMS bug in the affected versions, that would work too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Have you tried M10?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ominousnimbus:
Wouldn't M10 have some regressions from the 9/13 nightly, likely being based on a nightly from several days before that? Meaning I can't dirty flash it over 9/13?

I guess I'll make a new backup and give it a shot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Highly possible, I was only throwing this out there.

The irony is that I just deleted a plethora of nightlies from my phone so I could make room for my backups and revert back to absolute stock riiiight before you posted that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blasterrr:
I would like to know how your process went going stock via Odin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
I am not dead. Just finished setting up my things how I like them while doing other things

The million steps I took:

-Backup all my apps + data via TitaniumBackup

-Backup my internal SD via FTP (I dislike MTP)

-Backup in recovery on external SD

-Take out external SD for safety purposes

-Wipe everything in recovery (system/data/cache/dalvik) but not internal SD

-ODIN to TouchWiz NH2 rom (only for Canadian users!)

-Flash custom recovery in ODIN while I'm at it

-Reboot to recovery, realize my internal SD didn't get deleted by ODIN and flash SuperSU while I'm there

-Wait a long time until it reboots in Android

-Skip my way out of setting up a Google account and Samsung account and blah blah blah

-Install GPS Status from APK using built in TouchWiz filemanager

-Test GPS... got a lock in 10 seconds

-Extract custom gps.conf, reboot and test GPS... got a lock in 2 seconds

-Tried *#*#19736840# in dialer... does nothing. Apparently service mode isn't accessible anymore. Decide I don't really need nv rebuild anyway

-Reboot to recovery, wipe everything again but internal SD

-Install CM latest nightly, gapps, SuperSU

-Test GPS once it's booted, still getting a stable lock in 10 seconds

-Extract custom gps.conf, 2 seconds lock is back

-Install TitaniumBackup, restore all my user apps + data and restore only select few system data (accounts, sms, call log, that sort of stuff)

-Setup the other system settings, put back ext SD etc

-PROFIT

In the end, I didn't need the recovery backup nor the internal sd backup, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Seems like the AT&T stock rom, even modded to just include the rom didn't fix my issues but the Canadian one did. Maybe updating bootloader futher (which was done by ODIN when flashing the stock rom) could have helped, but it's done now so it doesn't matter anymore. IF I were to redo this, I might just go ahead and update the bootloader prior to mucking around for so long.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blasterrr:
Wow Polo you got it man. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am glad all went well for you. I am surprised the dialer code didn't run. Welcome to NH2.

Few times that I have backed up my SD card, I used adb Pull. I pull the entire internal SD. It is slow but it won't skip a single bit of data. Once again thanks for outlining your detailed steps it's bound to help someone here.

Hope it helps!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ominousnimbus:
I actually found a backup on my PC from when I was running the 9/5 nightly, so all is well now.

Just for kicks, I tried upgrading from 9/5 nightly to M10. It gave me almost continuous reboots and FCs. Basically, I've concluded that CM11 has not been usable on my device for over a month now on either the M or nightly channels, due to various combinations of instability/reboots, the MMS bug, and lack of hotspot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sgloki77:
clean flashed 10/18, didn't do the NVrebuild, just str8 flashed the nightly+gapps

no lock right after the flash, let it settle for 30 mins, gps kicked in after that, instant lock now [emoji106]
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
That was like that for me. And if I rebooted, I needed to wait that long again for a lock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kmarc33:
ok, I've wiped everything, booted stock, done the nvrebuild stuff, restored nandroid. Everything good. Clean flashed M11, everything good, took a logcat. Clean flashed 10/18, everything good, didn't bother with a logcat. Everything seems to be working well except GPS is a little slower, although I might just be impatient.

There seem to be several threads floating around on improving GPS speed and locking. Currently I'm looking at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1881660

although I might tweak things to use public servers. Has anyone else investigated what GPS tweak method will work well with d2lte?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blasterrr:
Faster GPS APP has improved my locking speed by 50 %.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sgloki77:
welp, spoke to soon on reboot it goes back to gps MIA [emoji20]

what I did to bring it back to lock was using Google Now to activate the navigation option on Google Maps

e.g. "ok google, take me to Jamba Juice" it will open Google maps, press the navigation icon and after a few mins, it will kick in and lock gps

after the first gps lock event, it will instant lock always, until you reboot the phone again

you will know when it locks the gps when you hear the google voice giving out the driving instructions...sucks[emoji52]
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Going back to super duper stock fixed that for me. Now I reboot my phone and get a kick within 10 seconds.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blasterrr:
Might want to try Google services framework '' clear data". Might help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sgloki77:
we don't have a tar file factory image for the latest firmware(thank you AT&T) so we can't restore via Odin

the best we can do is flashing enewman17's stock rom flashable zip on a custom recovery, that's the end of the road for us under the death star logo

maybe the d2lte maintainers should try to fix this bug, it's been more than a month now, this is a big issue, but hey I guess I shouldn't complain for free software
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kmarc33:
Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow morning before my run.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
You don't really need to ODIN. Just that if you look around, you'll see there's absolutely no roms based off the canadian roms, hence why I had to ODIN to stock.

Has anyone used the CyanogenMod installer for the i747 because I want to use it and want to know the risks. Build KOT49H.I747UCUFNE4
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blasterrr:
Are you referring to the desktop version or one built into the phone ROM?

The one within the phone works just fine. It will download entire 180 so MB and then installs just fine. If for some reason the script to reboot the phone and installation doesn't run, then go to cmupdater folder on internal storage and install manually from within recovery.

You have the latest modem/bootloader that is NE4, good to go.

Risks: Always have nandroid handy.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tanker Bob:
The MJB or newer bootloader and modem seem to work the best with M11, but if your phone is working fine now there's no compelling reason to change. I updated to NE4 this weekend using the files from the link that threeofnine provided. LTE locks seem more consistent, but my data sample is still too small for firm conclusions.

Just make sure you install each bootloader/modem in order. Incremental installs of each one. DO NOT JUMP TO THE LATEST DIRECTLY.

I experienced much more consistent LTE signal on AT&T's network after upgrading to NE4. Used to have to force the phone to connect to LTE on while on MJB, where as on NE4, it tends to LTE by default, only dropping to 3G/4G when the LTE signal is really too low. Highly recommend updating.

Ok so I've ran into a problem. I've been with snapshot m7 through 9 (dirty flashes) since july and decided to make a clean install of cm (m11) with pa gapps stock because my s3 started to lag, freeze and became buggy all of a sudden. Obviously I've been doing this for while so I made a nandroid.

So now here's my problem... I reinstall everything and can't find trebuchet anymore, can't find the option to take out the google bar at the top of the screen and I seem to be missing a couple options.

So I tried to revert to my backup but it says the md5sum is not working properly, so that is out of the question unfortunatly. Am I missing something? Where is trebuchet launcher ?!

And the lag is still there, I'm starting to think it could be the hardware.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blasterrr:
I don't know about trebuchet. I use Nova.

But your md5 error : If you renamed your Nandroid backups make sure there's no spaces in the name.

I would recommend you do a complete factory reset/wipe, install M11 with just Gapps and no other personal Apps. See if that fixes your lag.

Last time I tried M11 it was a rock solid and stable release without any lags.

I'm trying to help my brother with his SIII. He's had CM for a while now, but recently had wifi stop working. When he tried to update CM, it started force closing on him. I installed the latest nightly for him as well as the latest bootloader / modem (NE4). The force closes are gone, but wifi still doesn't work.

When I say wifi doesn't work, it's greyed out in settings, stuck on "off". I can't activate it from quicksettings either. What's weird is that I did a factory reset and even wiped the system at one point. Have any of you also had this problem, and is there a fix? I'm assuming it's a software problem, and not a hardware problem.

Anybody know if the call volume issue has been fixed in recent nightlies? I'm talking about the issue that has been around for a few weeks now (including in M11) where the call volume is always maxed out regardless of how you have it set. Only raising it up and then back down during every call lowers it back down to the intended volume.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
Don't know if it's fixed, to be honest. All I know is that it's been around for months, not weeks, and the CM team (or maybe more specifically, the SGS3 maintainers on the CM team) doesn't seem even remotely interested in fixing it. At least, that's my perspective on the situation.

Ok, so I know this is a bit old, but I'm still on M9 because everything after that just kept crashing on me, even with totally clean installs.

However, if I'm already on 3G/H+ or data is off, the calls work fine. WTF?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
I'm running the 8/24 release of Carbon, which is CM-based, and it has the issue, only less pronounced (the volume doesn't jack up after every call, but it is loud at first until you bump it up and back down, at which point it stays put). It only seems to have gotten worse since then.

If it is true, it is a shame the CM team has given up on the GS3 - it's still a very capable phone, and with the Samsung extended battery kit, I get great life from the phone. Hopefully something will change, but if not, I guess we will all be shopping for a different device.
