Since updating to the 7/6 nightly my phone vibrates every 30 seconds/minute during phone calls, very annoying. I do not see an option to disable and it did not do this before. Help :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Try here maybe. Just open phone app and go to settings menu.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JamesRF:
That fixed it! Thank you for the quick and kind response!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Agent5150:
Thanks.

Is it better to use official bootloader/modem (MJB)? will that work for CM11 and Stock 4.4 TW based roms?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jpcdeux:
Plug in then turn off. Try that. Some cm builds were funky like that

Missing USB mass storage with M8

I upgraded recently to M8 and now when I connect the USB cable to my laptop, it doesn't recognize the phone as a USB storage. I don't event see the notification on the phone that tells me what mode to present the phone as to the PC.

The cable seems fine, as the phone continues to charge when connected. I also noticed that if I enabled USB debugging options then my PC would play a chime like what happens when I connect a USB device to it.

By the way, I am upgrading from a previous M release. I have been using M releases for a while now. I upgraded without clearing anything, using the CM updater. The next big step would be to wipe caches, but I would like to avoid the pain of reinstalling/resotring apps...

================

EDIT: sorry ... please disregard the above: it is user error. I didn't notice that if I go to "Settings > Storage" then I can click the menu button and get to the "USB computer connection". Once I got there, I saw the two options as "unchecked" so I toggled one of them and now I can see my phone on my PC.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tasteslikechicken:
Do not use the MJB bootloader. You will not be able to downgrade and it has a security/KNOX bit. Feel free to use the MJB modem though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Agent5150:
Ok. But then which boot loader can I use? M2J perhaps?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
MJ2 is safe. MJB is bad juju. :) Best combination is MJ2 bootloader, MJB modem. This zip file will get you there. Just flash it in recovery and you're good to go. (Don't think you need to wipe cache and Dalvik afterwards, but you can if you want to, it won't hurt anything.)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] araemo:
So, I've been having an odd issue since 10.2.0.. I was running the 10.2 releases (and I mean releases, 10.2.0, 10.2.1, etc..), and I had been noticing random sluggishness, especially when in my car.. it seemed like something was pegging the cpu.. check cpu usage, sure it's maxed.. took me a while to notice that it's maxxed beause it's stuck at 384 Mhz. So, I made a tasker rule to change my minimum cpu frequency to 7xxMhz when I plug it into my car dock.. figured it should help.

Processor screenshot

No, it doesn't help at all. I also, at one point in 10.2.x, fully wiped and started from scratch to make sure it wasn't some bad app/customization I'd been hanging onto for a while.

The screenshot above is from today, running the 3/21 nightly. Still does it to me randomly. The entire UI is almost unusable when it gets in this state. I have no clue what's causing it. I grabbed a logcat when I got home, but enough time has passed, I'm not sure anything relevant is in it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] VashTS:
running 03/21 and quantum kernel 03/13. all seems well. i may just stay here for a bit as these roms have been going crazy lately! i might even go back to d2att builds, they were actually perfect at a certain point.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Get a BetterBatteryStats log when your battery gets depleted like that. Make sure not to plug your phone in the charger before getting the log otherwise you're gonna garble the stats.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnyrichter:
Just switched to the latest CM11 nightly from The Collective's AOSP due to suffering insane battery drain the last few days. Wiped data, system, dalvik, cache > flashed CM11 > flashed GAPPS. Just got done installing, configuring, syncing, restoring, backing up, etc. Also installed TWRP because it's pretty sweet. Everything went well. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] araemo:
Battery? What does that have to do with the battery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Because something is pegging your CPU. Likely an app going rogue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] araemo:
It's not REALLY pegging the CPU.. if the CPU governor would let the cpu speed increase, it wouldn't be a problem. The problem isn't 100% CPU usage, it's the CPU being unwilling to go above 384 Mhz when it's at 100% usage. I thought it was a rogue app for a long time, so I did check things like betterbatterystats, system monitor logs, etc.. nothing ever showed as a culprit, until I realized that when it was being sluggish, the CPU was stuck at 384 Mhz and wouldn't increase.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnyrichter:
Have you tried a FULL wipe? Data, system, internal storage, cache, dalvik? If a full wipe and fresh kernel/rom install doesn't fix it then it may very well be a hardware issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] araemo:
I haven't killed /sdcard, but the rest, yes.

I was suspecting that, but hoping I was wrong. It does normally scale the frequency fine, but sometimes it just doesn't.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] v1nsai:
Just updated from CM 10.2 from the update menu on the phone. Several apps started force closing as soon as I booted, but I installed the 4.4 version of gapps (that probably wasn't necessary now that I think about it) and wiped cache and all seems to be well.

Is there a simple way to change the highlight color? On 10.2 the status bar icons and overscroll were all blue, but now they're white. Is there a simple way to change these? I'm not trying to re-theme the whole phone, just want to change a few colors.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
I'm afraid you'll have to use a theme. Google changed the icon colors in KitKat from holo blue to white (as well as drawing the battery icons rather than using PNG images, but that's a [touchy] subject for another thread), and CyanogenMod is following suit. Since I also don't care for the crap monochrome look, I'm using my own custom theme to add color back to the status bar (and elsewhere).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sugarkryptonite:
Nope. Those are the KitKat colors now unless you get into custom theme'ing as stated above.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] v1nsai:
Well, damn. I know nothing of themes. Do I need to find a tutorial specific to the i747 or is theming the same for all phones?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
No need to do anything yourself. Just check Google Play; there are all sorts of CM11-compatible themes (many of them free) you can install from there. Just download the theme(s) you want, then go to System Settings->Themes, scroll to the one you want to activate, then tap the Apply button (the little box with an arrow coming out of it). Easy-peasy, and if you get a "theme might not be compiled properly" error (or something like that), just tap "Apply Anyway" (it's a common error with many themes), it'll work just fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ScOULaris:
So are any of the recent d2lte nightlies relatively stable? I keep hearing horror stories ever since they moved to the merged build, so I'm still sitting on M3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CYRAXDroid:
I have the I747UCUEMJB att about to flash now my ? Are with gapps you have pa and there is banks which one allows you to save pics to the sd card. 2. Why is that all kk roms dpi are set so high. I mean does everyone who flashes kk roms have so a large app/icon cause last time I looked into it dpi was set at like 320. If you do change the resolution will it lose pixels.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
What does gapps have to do with saving to SD?

And once again, no, still have no size difference between JB and KK in terms of icon size. Dunno what you effed up in your config but mine are 100% identical when using Nova Launcher or Trebuchet. Can't vouch for other launchers, don't use them/see em.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CYRAXDroid:
Well I just answer my own ? About the gapps pa apps camera allows you to save to the ext sd card. Bank gapps I can't not save any pics to ext sd card.

Idk I guess what I mean is that twz roms icons i like and kk rom are extra large. My gf has the moto x with kk her icons like normal like twz size. And I guess it's just me not liking extra large icons.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] suprtrukr425:
Look in the settings menu. Click home then click Trebucket then click settings. In there somewhere is a setting for large icons that is checked by default.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sugarkryptonite:
The icons in KitKat are definitely bigger. I posted about this in the other thread. It is 100% normal and not only our devices.

Using a different launcher will obviously change them...but stock GEL or Trebuchet both have bigger icons...that's just how KitKat is designed.

I'm on MJ2 and working just fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Agent5150:
Thanks. Will be using the best combo with CM11 M8 today.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] doctorspeed1:
Agree. My phone is fine but wife's suffers from the LTE and dropped signal bug. Tried flashing the Likewise Touchwiz ROM then back to CM11 but still only connects to HSPA+. No stock ROMs compatible with jb bootloader that are odin flashable
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
You don't need a stock rom, you need a stock BASED rom. Any rom that doesn't contain a bootloader will be good.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] doctorspeed1:
can you make a suggestion? Looks like the Kitkat stock Rom will be coming soon
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jpcdeux:
Any word on browser fix?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cryptecks:
The Chromium Bug Tracker patch worked amazingly well on multiple devices, here is a patch to Cherry-Pick for any developers out there trying to fix this problem: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/67866/

I personally built PA 4.42 for the Evita (HTC One X) with this patch picked in and it solved the problem right away, including images not loading in Gmail (from https connections).

We're waiting on a Code Review from the big man himself (Cyanogen/Steve Kondik) before they decide how/when/if to merge the fix in to the CM repos.

Ideally there would be a way to apply the patch only on devices with the affected Chipset revision, but I'm not sure if the crypto library we're turning off is worth all of that work, we'll see!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Looks like center clock is coming to the next nightly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
Thank God they're addressing the really important issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Important issues? Arguably, I don't use everything on my phone at all times, but the builds are pretty stable for nightlies. *shrugs*
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
It was humor. Well, a poor attempt at it, anyway. Maybe more snark than humor. It's Monday, I'm at work, and I want to go home, so I'm a little cranky. Maybe I need a Snickers bar. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Oh haha, didn't catch it. But I hear you, Monday here too (surprise!), it's vacation time for 2 other people in my department of 5, meaning I have to do their job. It's wonderful. :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
Isn't it, though? We have two people out in my department, too. Fortunately, I have my own assignments, otherwise I'd be road raging all the way home. :D

What I'd really like to see the CM team do is give us back the option of having a Jellybean-style percentage display, i.e. the icon with the percentage text next to it. Having a tiny percentage inside the icon just doesn't cut it for me. Fortunately, Carbon ROM has this option (which Quantum ROM is now based on), so I no longer need to use GravityBox to get this... which is just as well, as recent CM builds have apparently prevented this GB feature from working properly (and yeah, I know that GB isn't supposed to be used with AOSP ROMs, but that's the only reason I used it, and until recently, it worked; what can I say, I'm a rebel).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wild1z:
I just do the big percent. It's the the most important next to the time for me ;) and I wear a watch so....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
Yeah, I'd do that if I had to. I just like the extra bling. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ScOULaris:
Holy crap, really? I've been wanting that feature in CM for as long as I can remember.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pmgnet:
What is a center clock?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
Clock in the center of the status bar, ala iOS, instead of on the right.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nico3d3:
New to me bug on the M8 milestone: SystemUI force-close everytime I apply a new theme. I'm I the only one having this problem? I'm using KT747 kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] VQ30DE:
I'm still running Quantum 3.36 with Quantum 4/16 kernel. Lately I seem to get more battery drain/wakelocks than I used to, and there are some annoying bugs (e.g. low battery warning pops up continuously when phone is plugged in with bat <15%).

Just thought I'd pop in to see if anyone has a recommendation for a more recent CM-based ROM. Mainly I care about stability and battery life; just want a daily driver I can flash and forget about.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
I've been running the M8 build since it came out and everything is perfect. Battery is great. I can get 2 days of standby time easy with light use. Everything is smooth and stable as well. It's like my phone came out of the box with CM on it, because it runs that good.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] VQ30DE:
Thanks, that's great to hear. I do like CM because it's so big and regularly updated, but for a while it seemed like they weren't putting much effort into S3 development (with the initial d2lte problems). I'll do a clean flash and give it a try. What gapps are you using?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
I use the CM gapps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] v1nsai:
Anyone else having ssl issues on M8? On several different browsers I can't access Google due to "protocol errors", and I never had that problem until I (dirty) flashed from M6 to M8.

Gonna try TiBu and clean flashing next
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Yes other people are having issues. No flashing again won't fix it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] o4tuna:
Oh dear. Help?

Well I've gone & borked things up a bit.

Ummm, how is the restore process supposed to work after doing a backup with online nandroid?

Samsung Galaxy S3 (AT&T)

Cyanogenmod 11

installed it a few months ago, think I had the May(cm-11-20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-d2lte) version.

Just updated to the July version (cm-11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-d2lte), used online nandroid to backup everything first.

Comes up plain vanilla. no extra apps, no gapps

Using file browser, I can see all my apps in /data.

All my texts & contacts are there.

Well....

Figure maybe it's because I used themer. maybe if I can get it to run, it'll rescan /data. Hmmm, can't see the file in the browser that would open it. Probably hidden to the stock browser? I'll just reinstall it.

Installed the latest gapps (20140606)

Rebooted, some apps installed, but not the play store...

Well fine, I'll just restore from my backup.

Boot into clockwork recovery.

No file found.

Try the card.

No files found.

Rebbot. open file browser. There they are clockworkmod/backup/

well, I'll just reinstall online nandroid. Oh yeah no play store. open browser. search. open in play store. Says installed. no open button. look at my apps. all there, no open button on/in any of them.

backed up the clockworkmod/backup/ directory to a thumb drive, just in case.

So now what?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
You probably just need to run "fix permissions" in your recovery. Sounds like Android isn't allowing read access to /data properly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mcclain71:
silly question to ask...but i see all the nightly and stable releases are labeled as galaxy s3 (us). does it matter that i'm on the virgin mobile canada network? dont want to brick the phone ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
d2lte represents pretty much all d2 devices, including d2can (i747m). So no, no problem there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] v1nsai:
Do any of the nightlies fix this? I'm thinking of just dirty flashing back to M7 and hoping I don't have to clean flash.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
The fix is in cm-11-20140716-NIGHTLY-d2lte. So from that point, it should be fine.

It doesn't affect every device (depends on CPU rev IIRC) so that's why it's not everyone who's complaining.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] o4tuna:
they seem to have removed that capability:

"fix permissions -- resets system permissions back to their default values [this feature was removed beginning with version 6.0.3.5 due to its placebo effect as a cure-all] "

figgured out that the clockworkmod rom manager app would restore the backup made by onlinenandroid, so did a factory restore & wiped cache, then installed cwm rom manager, then restored...

Would still like to upgrade. Any ideas what I did wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tapukakababa:
The Step#2. Bootloader/Modem package link "http://invisiblek.org/d2firmware.html" doesn't seems to be opening for me, anybody seeing this issue? Can somebody provide the updated link?

That seems to have fixed it, thanks!

No wifi with kt on latest nightly
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] airtower:
Works fine here
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Same, works fine here too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] korrectmethod:
Didn't work for me either. I came from 4.3.1 and skipped this step, everything works fine for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tapukakababa:
Yeah I'm coming from 4.3 too. So did you installed the nightly build through Recovery app or Recovery at boot? Do you see any issues? It has the Kitkat 4.4 working for you now?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] korrectmethod:
I used the recovery app to manually apply open recovery twrp 2.7.0.0.img, it wouldn't download through the app. Been using it for about a week now and no issues. Here's the recovery I used if you need it.

I'm thinking about coming back to CM11 after having major lag, reboot & battery drain issues with the latest Quantum and 7/8 QK.

Reading through the last few pages of this thread seems like things are going well on the nightlies. Anything I should be aware of before I make the jump? Recommended kernel that isn't stock? BMS?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
What are the features that you use?

I myself do not use bluetooth, USB audio, wifi display and use GPS very sparsely and I can confirm that everything I use is in working order.

As for kernels, we're lucky to have a bunch of them. I have a fancy for KT747 at the moment, but I've used LeanKernel, BMS and dkp with success in the past.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tapukakababa:
TWRP app seems to be crashing everytime I try to flash the new image by selecting it.. will have to fix that or install the nightly right from the app, not sure if that would work though..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
You can always try the other methods outlined here:

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/104

Used both dd and ODIN methods in the past and it works fine. I was never too fond of the goo.im app for some reason. Be aware the latest available version is 2.7.1.0 and not 2.7.0.0 as linked above by korrectmethod.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjah:
Thanks. :)

I primarily use BT audio and GPS. However, I really, really like working & updated inverted apps. Would the LiquidSmooth inverted GAPPS work on CM11?

I've had poor results with KT in the past, but DKP worked. BMS seems to be getting the most attention in the Quantum thread. Perhaps I'll try that one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Someone with more details about the state of bluetooth and long-term GPS use might be better advised to help you then. GPS works, but I remember reading reports of GPS making the system overheat. Bluetooth I assume works, but I do not know if all the functions work.

I'm currently using inverted apps by Kryten2k35 and they work well, including the gapps. I would assume inverted gapps package would work, but if they don't you have other alternatives at your disposal.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] korrectmethod:
Use a different app to flash it, I had the same issue. I used flashify.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pmgnet:
I run with GPS enabled (endomondo). I regularly use the GPS for car travel and walking around new towns.

Bluetooth used to be terrible. Now, I only get initial stuttering in my Edge/Sync (first 45 seconds), but all other headphone devices and functions work fine (skip, song titles, volume, etc)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Has anybody, with a chromecast, noticed that the Cast Screen option actually displays the Chromecast(s), in your home? I guess we have screen mirroring now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jmah10:
I use the latest nightlies and have been so for a few months. I've never had an issue with GPS and I use google maps almost daily. I haven't had any issues/bugs (that I notice) except maybe battery life isn't as great as the old Quantum days. I was using KT but am now trying BMS (as suggested in Quantum thread) - I'll have to use BMS for a few more days to see if I notice any real differences. All kernels running stock settings usually.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aircooledbusses:
Any luck with cm11 running f2fs all? I'm hoping to format partitions, install cm11 and the BMS experimental kernel. Any thoughts or warnings?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Never tried it myself, mostly because it doesn't seem ready for prime time and I got other things to play with (new car!).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tapukakababa:
Ok I flashed the recovery and while flashing the nightly through recovery got an error "Error executing updater binary", I aslo tried it using flashify but the same error. MD5 checksum seems to be correct.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Which nightly? And which recovery? Need exact file names.
