I too am also getting the weird gibberish text messages (t999 T-Mobile) about 3-4 a day, and it started yesterday. My WiFi is also having a hard time staying on, as of today it will only be on for 2-3 mins at a time, turning it back on reconnects no problem, but then it just turns off, not too annoying cause my home WiFi sucks, but is annoying when watching something on chromecast
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zul8er:
I didn't restore any data. I am doing everything fresh.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I hate to say it, but if its really too annoying you might want to consider using a different rom for a day or two and try again. (Or maybe try a 3rd party sms app to see if it still happens).

To be completely honest, im not even sure where to start on trying to find a solution for you guys. My hope is that whatever the cause may be, it works itself out after a few days. (A lot of the other threads on various forums and devices had people say it stopped after a while.) Ive seen claims of it happening on dumb phones, iphones, blackberries, and android, and it always seems its just a few people each time.

I will keep investigating it as best as I can though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
I got it too when I put my Sim card in a few days ago, I got 3 of those texts at the same time, but didn't pay attention to them because I had gotten a call a few hours earlier with that area code and I thought there were just spammers lol.. Anyway to those that keep getting them, why not just block the number so you won't receive those messages?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shonmac11:
What's the best app to use to block it, in your opinion?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] famousk:
I was getting 20-30 of those gibberish messages per day and I'm using sgh t999n. I thought it was a carrier issue that's why I never reported it, I flashed back CM11 2 days ago and I haven't gotten one since
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shonmac11:
It's probably a combination of the rom and carrier that's causing it. So far I think its only been the gsm model that's having this issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
I Also Get A Few Of These Texts On The T999N But Its Not Many Amd Honestly They're Not That Annoying, Not Enough To Drop This ROM
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] badbob001:
In Touchwiz Jelly Bean, pressing the headset button during a call hangs up the phone. What I want is for the button to mute/unmute the mic during a call and I heard this was implemented in KitKat. Can anyone confirm the headset button behavior in this rom? I want to see if KitKat is worth upgrading to. You would think there would be a Xposed module for this.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saotua:
Does any got this notification by any chance? I didn't do any update and just got that windows when I hit the Home button ... just curious
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Not sure, I don't block numbers

If you edited the device info to kltexxx then that's likely why.. Although I haven't experienced this but that's the way it works with the S5
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
Today I updated firmware to NC2 and fleshed this Rom and as on now everything is working well

Thanks Doc for this Rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Best to call the Carrier so you can later dispute the charges.

Whoops missed this one. My Modem was UVUENC2 when I tried to flash. It still is.the same.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If I can find mine, ill try it, but I kinda doubt itll be different unless samsung just overlooked it. I imagine they dont want to surprise folks by making buttons perform different functions than what they are used to. I could easily see how someone might press the button and take out the earpiece, not realizing they are still connected and eating up minutes.

Yup. I also got that after the build.prop change as serio22 said. Everything seems to still function as expected though, so im sure you can just ignore it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Heres the new Gmail apk if anyone wants to try it out.

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491965511

I think its supposed to have some new spam and cloud storage options/features.

One thing Ive noticed on this rom, not a bug really, is when I was uploading the apk to AFH, it didnt have Root Explorer as an option. I instead had to use MyFiles. I know theres a way to get it to show more options.....

Anyway, I think Im comfortable enough at this point to call 2.1 the final release! I dont think theres much else I can do to get it running like Sammy intended! Now I will start looking into the tweaking and modding. If I come up with something good enough I will post it as a secondary release. Will update you guys on this a little later.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zul8er:
Bug found

T999 unable to get data while roaming even with the data roaming option checked. It unchecks itself also upon reboot
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Anthonol:
Thanks Anil! :good: That's the feedback I was looking for.....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Just a guess, but it may be that this rom is built from a CDMA devices build, and it may be a conflict with the GSM SIM when trying to connect to other compatible networks. Ill see if I cant find anything out about it.

Can anyone else confirm roaming doesnt work? Not sure I can test it completely. Dont think ive been anywhere I needed roaming in several years!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You know, manual Search for network(s) while on this rom should yield different carriers other than T-Mo. So if we see Metro PCS, there's a clue.

Having said that, what you set under Preferred Network type also matter. Not to mention the two separate settings for Data Roaming. I don't know on this rom, but on others, there is a different settings to choose System Roaming type that specifier Home Only or Automatic.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
OP updated with SourceForge Mirror! Sorry I forgot to put the actual link up sooner! Also updated to show 2.1 to be the final release.

Added S5 launcher build.prop edit to the Tips on post 4.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Roaming did stay checked for me after rebooting. I did a manual search for available networks and it said T-Mobile, AT&T and Corr Wireless were available, but I could not connect to the other two. Got a toast that said to try again later. Not sure if this is because T-Mobile was available, or it could be an account issue. (When I first signed up with T-Mobile (waaaay back when it was still Powertel/Voicestream) my account did not allow roaming. Ive had it changed since of course, but cant recall if ive ever actually used it to be sure!)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
A copy from my post from AT&T thread.

each carrier has a different mobile data icon. Its interesting to check out and some may prefer one over the other. The only one that will have a decent looking wifi icon is kltespr though. These are the others:

kltespr

kltetmo

klteatt

kltevzw (im assuming this one is verizons product name, I have not yet tried it myself) think I'll try it now actually!

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

Verizon one looks just the same as if you used d2spr, but when wifi is connected, it shows a different 3G icon that doesnt go away.

Have been hearing lot about the S5 Super Power Saving port when ATT and T-Mobile rom is available
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] famousk:
Oh that's not why I switched back to CM, I was getting crazy battery drain with most of my background apps hibernated
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I didnt use it before so I dont know for certain if this is a new change, but I tried adding the mobile data toggle and its now called Network Restriction Mode. When you toggle it, it shuts off both WiFi and mobile data. Did it always do this? I was under the impression it should only turn mobile data on/off while leaving WiFi alone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zul8er:
Good thing about Michigan. Soon as you go north of Grand Rapids its all roaming on AT&t. :(

I went into the networks and searched. It only came up with AT&t. I was connected to AT&t and could make calls fine, just no data. I went through all the available apns also with no change.

I installed Wanam Kit for its data roaming option and I will see if that works tonight.

Have one quick question regarding GPS. Do I need to manually turn GPS on when I want to use it. Let's I want to take a picture with location on I need to click on the GPS toggle and then when I'm done turn it off. It doesn't do it automatically. Am i doing something wrong? Thanks

Envoyé de mon SGH-T999 en utilisant Tapatalk
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
That's how it works.

If you want a rough location you can leave the network based location services on but its only good for like 600 or 6000 feet, I forget which. GPS is accurate within six feet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You are doing it correct. Yes you have to turn on the Service when you want a location. But please remember, it take a minute or two to get a location fix.

Even if you set Geo Tagging on in Camera, that won't automatically turn on the Location service. you could use a Tasker Shortcut to Camera that will do this for you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ime, the gps location only takes a while the first time (after a clean flash or factory reset). After that it should get your location much quicker.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rener78:
Thanks alot guys I really really appreciate it.

Guys i flashed one s5 keybord and after that my keybord keeps crashing i can't even use the keybord. Can anyone upload files for keybord please?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saotua:
That is really weird. In the last couple of days I had to use gps about 3 times a day but every time when I turned it on it took about from 5 -10 minutes to lock. Must be something wrong with my phone then. I event tried the gps test app that you mentioned but didn't help. Other than that, I have 0 issue with this awesome rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
In the q&a sticky roll up thread is a link to a gps fix thread. Give that a try.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If youve got the rom you flashed, just extract the file you need from there. Will be a lot quicker than waiting for someone else to do the same, upload it, and then link it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ptl4ever:
Can you please tell me which files do I need?

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
You overestimate the average persons knowledge and underestimate the laziness of some people.

Lol

Here, Samsung keyboard and Swype...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pih1h7d5xhjruw3/keyboards.zip

Try installing the apk and if that doesn't work use a root explorer to drop the files in /system/app and reboot.

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

And not to be rude, but if you don't know how to move a file to system/app I don't really feel like writing a step by step guide.

Its pretty easy to figure out, my six year old niece figured it out on my tablet in five minutes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ptl4ever:
Thanks for the files and reply.

And just for your knowledge I do know how to move file to system/app .

I appreciate your help guys..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
Awesome.

I didn't mean offence, its just that in the past five years I've run into so many people who need their hands held through everything that I've become slightly jaded.

I started out on android forums and currently have 60+ notifications from people too lazy to Google or use search the forums... And that's just from the past three weeks or so.

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

And I'm always willing to pull files.

Let me know when you have the files fixed so I can delete that from my box.

I use Dropbox to store local band albums for promotion and redistribution so the space is kinda precious to me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ptl4ever:
You can delete those files.

I actually tried using those two files even before you posted, but it didn't work. That's why I posted here. I think I need some more files, because the one I flashed had some other files. It had folders named metainfo and some update scripts and stuff that might have changed system files required for the original keyboard. I just dirty flashed Rom aging and everything is fine now.

Thanks once again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Probably would just be easier to reflash the rom than trying to figure it out. Shouldnt need to wipe anything, maybe dalvik.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ptl4ever:
Yup

Already did that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
Yeah, if you used the same s5 keyboard zip I just found it changed a couple small things but the keyboard apps should have worked with the right permissions set and a reboot.

Weird.

I don't see anything that would have changed the path to the apk files in here, just the standard app and instructions to the recovery as to where to put them and what permissions to set.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zul8er:
Possible fix

Installed Wanam Kit and checked "Allow National roaming" and tonight I was sent north and I had data on AT&t.

Don't know why it says I'm not roaming when connected to AT&t. Maybe that is how Wanam kit fools the device?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hasansabuz:
After install my t999 didnt boot up..just black screen.....

Do I need to flash any extra karnel.. ?? Im on mjc ..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You probably need to update your modem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hasansabuz:
plz tell me the latest modem that i need to flash....... is it nc2 ???

and should i flash

??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes NC2 is the latest modem. Its linked in Doc's Signature. There's a Kernel baked into this Rom. You do not need to flash the insecure Kernel unless you have some very specific reasons for it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
This rom will not work w/o both a 4.3 bootloader AND modem. If you flash either of the stock kernels, screen rotation will be backwards and wifi will not work. I only left them available in case anyone wants to pick them apart to learn about the tw kk kernels, and also to test any bugs that are suspected to be kernel related.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hasansabuz:
i updated my modem to nc2 bt after flash the rom the phone doesnt start at all.. no boot logo,nothing ...

just vibrate my phone after preesing power button... wht should i do.. flashed 4 times
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Have you updated your full firmware to either MJC or NC2? Only having the 4.3 modem will not work. You must have your full firmware updated to a 4.3 build. (Its generally what we mean when we say your bootloader needs to be updated to 4.3)

So if the last time you fully updated was on 4 1.2 or earlier, just flashing the modem will not work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hasansabuz:
its my device screenshot

now what should i do??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You probably need to odin flash the NC2 firmware. If you want to know for sure, install terminal emulator and enter this...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hasansabuz:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Please only ask your question in one location. Theres no need to post in one thread, open a new one and pm all for the same thing. As soon as someone who has an answer sees it, they will respond.

Already answered in the new thread you created btw. (You cannot use roms from the tmobile forums and have it work right).

Also, please dont take offense, but if you dont know what odin is or how to use it you probably shouldnt be flashing roms yet. I suggest reading all sticky threads in the correct forums for your device. Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ahaq:
if your version works for someone elseon s3 of metopcs why doesnt it work for me. can you show me just the right steps please thts all iw atn
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Your s3 is a cdma device. It is what metro used before being bought by tmobile. Tmobile does not use cdma network technology, they use gsm (the two are not compatible). They stopped making your model and the current metro pcs device is the T999N. T999N users can flash anything here because they have a compatible device. Yours is not compatible because as I said, its a cdma device. Cdma devices do not work well on gsm networks and vice versa. Everything in this forum is built for use only on the gsm, T999 family of devices, which does not include yours.

So simply put, you should not be trying to flash anything but what is available in the sprint forums.

Roms in this T-Mobile forum will not work properly on your device and there is nothing we can do to change this. I cannot give you steps to use this rom on your phone because there are none. Always use the correct forum for whatever model you have, not for what carrier you or the device belong with.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Youll probably need to open from your root file browser. (I use Root Explorer, well worth the purchase imo, but there are plenty of others that can mount the partition as r/w. Some free some paid. Most should give you the "open with" option so you can still use your preferred editor.

Good to know, thanks! Another option is to just use the built in blocker as well. Might be a good idea to use both though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kamontryst:
So it turns out that the wifi issue was from an old incomplete tasker profile from an old backup... However, just noticed today that the "ok Google" hotword detection is not working on google now, I have it set on in google now settings, not a huge deal, just curious as to why it isnt working now
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Glad to hear you figured out the wifi problem you were having. Its a good example of why everyone should go back and clean flash the rom (or any rom/mod/etc) and test any bugs they may have encountered. Its the best way to know if its really a bug, or something wrong/incompatible with restored user data.

Im not sure about the google now issue though. I dont use it so I wouldnt be able to compare how it acts now vs before. Did you test it after a clean flash?

[MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION] i have a noob question... I have seen that my t999 does not have 4g lte (may be wrong) and on my 4.3 rom woth the latest baseband i have 4g. But when i update to 4.4.2 i manage to lose my 4g and instead only get 3g which is sad.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
t999 does not support LTE, 3G/HSPA is labeled as 4g by T-Mobile and at&t, that's why on stock firmwares/ROMs it shows 4g icon.. So in other words there is nothing wrong with it
