[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
The phone deleted my music files completely. This is a new development. Titanium backup had no issues backing up to the SD card and apps that can self search for music have no issues either.

I've decided to try the slimLP along with a regular cyanogen rom.

After I move it back and run some checks I will try another rom and report back. I have had no time as of late to do so.

So far it seems to be anything that searches for MP3 on my phone fails. If I use a file explorer I can find the music and play it fine. Apps like the default music player and amazon MP3 either do or do not find my music after a reboot but I can find it all in my file explorer just fine and play it just fine every time. It does find in 3 - 5 minutes still. The same thing occurs on the SlimLP rom. SlimLP also couldn't read my SIM before I updated the modem, have to check that again. I'll be trying a cyanogen next. I'm going to probably have to agree I need a new SD/SIM reader but they are sub 10 dollars on ebay.

I also realized my modem was old. Updated it to the latest october 11th 2013 I believe. It was on a 2012 one. It didn't help at all however. My logic was the modem uses the SIM which is on the same panel as the SD so maybe they share firmwares of sorts.

If I could just get the damn thing to find my music every time it wouldn't be an issue. I can easily keep ringtones on system memory.

I can now 100% confirm it is something with Slim Roms and LP in general. The issue occurs on Slimkat, SlimLP, and unofficial CM12 (lolipop). The problem does NOT occur on CM11 latest nightly. I can reboot the phone and the ringtones from my SD card show every time. Never unknown always what I set them for.

This is not an issue with my phone, and I'm kind of happy about that. But how to fix the problem

Ok I don't know what happened here but now it works on SlimKat too. 100% off the sd card. I reloaded a backup and it just works completely now.

Things that happened.

Plugged the phone in and it came up with an error.

Put SD card in PC and windows fixed errors.

Ejected and reinserted SD card

SD card was removed several times.

No idea what of these did it but it works 100% now. My ringtones show every time when I reboot and they are stored on the SD. I am so damn happy with this. Maybe the Sim needed to be reinserted and it was causing a hardware malfunction prior. Or maybe the reader really is dying? Time will tell but now it reads all media 100% properly.

Looks like I was too premature. It worked on Slimkat for 3 reboots and now it's back to UNKNOWN RINGTONE. I am so fed up with this crap. First it showed my music and it was fine so I checked the ringtones to find unknown. Then I went back to my music to find an empty list RIGHT AFTER IT SHOWED ALL MY MUSIC. Then it showed the music all again.

Bad SD+SIM reader confirmed?

I just noticed I'm on Slimkat 7.0 not 9.0 Will try that. No idea why I wasn't. Not that the issue will be fixed since it happens to me on LP as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gnarled:
So flashing to 9.0 knocked out my LTE. Noticed some d2usc users found a solution by either updating modem or flashing leankernel, so I did both. Nope. Clean flashed back to 7.0. Nope. Not really sure what to do now. Anyone with the same issue? Phone's kinda unusable now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
Switch the data to 2g and then quickly LTE. Fixed it for me on 9.0. It will retain it as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alexandre-P:
This.

It's something to release a technological preview to select testers/enthusiasts who know that all and all isn't totally finished, polished, and might contain bugs. It's another story to release to a wide audience that same software who might not have the same expectations and the same knowledge, ability and flexibility to adapt its habits around some bugs.

Perseus said: "I have always tired to stand up to the reputation and impression in your minds that Slim Rom is always, rugged, dependable and reliable even in Weeklies." Then keep it that way, and hold the release of SlimLP for d2lte. If you release an half-baked build under the Weekly-label, the reputation you tried hard -- and I shall say, pretty well succeded -- to maintain around what a Weekly is will be tainted, even if future releases would not suffer from these early limitations.

Thats my 2 cents...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ohmna:
I'm having issues with data on my phone with Bell. I cannot get any kind of data connection on my phone. Tried with LTE on and off. I also tried updating the baseband from LK4 to MF1, but still the same thing. I didn't have any issues with previous versions of SlimKat. Any ideas? Should I just try doing another clean flash of the ROM and see if that fixes it?

Edit: did another clean flash of 9.0 using the instructions from slimroms.com and still same issue. It says no service on the data tile and I cant open any web pages even with data enabled.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jeff.leonard:
Ohmna, I'm on AT&T but having the same issue and have seen several others also. Can you check your APN list; I bet it is empty and won't save if you try to add it manually?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ohmna:
Yeah, that's what seems to be going on. I even tried on 8.20 weekly and I get the same thing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JoshReuben:
Happened to me with my dad's phone (on Virgin/Bell). I had to flash the April 2014 modem to resolve it - after that, Apn settings magically appeared and didn't require any further tweaking.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ohmna:
I tried flashing the END3 modem and that fixed everything. Thanks! I was going to try that earlier but i wasnt sure on the interaction between the old bootloader and the new modems.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] javamaniac:
Which bootloader are you on? I'm on the UCDLK3 still and wondering if the new modem would work with it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ohmna:
I'm running VLDLK4.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jeff.leonard:
I now have my phone working properly on SlimKat 9; it really was just the firmware not being compatible with newer ROMs as many have suggested. Here is the sequence I followed to do it but really it probably only needed a twrp flash of the mjb firmware and the ROM install:

1. Used odin to restore to stock LK3 (only because I had messed with things so much and wanted a clean slate)

2. Used odin to install TWRP 2.7.1.0 recovery

3. Rooted with SuperSU 2.40 using TWRP

4. Flashed combined MJB modem & bootloader using TWRP

5. Flashed SlimKat 9 using TWRP

6. Flashed Slim GApps using TWRP

7. Rooted with SuperSU 2.40 using TWRP (Lost root after flashing ROM)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
Where are all the different bootloaders posted, I do believe I have all the modem files, curious before I get started. I am going to stick on 7.0 for the time being, because I need a stable device on the road for work, just trying to get everything in line for maybe in a month when I consider flashing.

Thank you (if anyone has input) :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imcol:
Thinking my modem was the issue that caused my LTE to break, I updated my phone modem to NJ1 and installed SlimKat 9.0. Sadly, LTE is still broken and will not stick. Only way to fix is to flash any Touchwiz Rom and to set Mobile Network to LTE in Samsung Menu.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jeff.leonard:
I was aware as I have been a longtime SlimRom user but for some reason it wouldn't let me enable it; so I just decided to flash it and now things are working great. Thanks though.

---------- Post added at 04:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 AM ----------

Were you able to get your phone working yet? Also, if not too late make sure you don't just flash "Any Touchwiz Rom"; depending on how you are doing it you may brick if you accidentally downgrade from NJ1 to pre KitKat firmware. Think carefully about what is flashed before using odin for anything.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
In v9.0, if the phone is connected to a Bluetooth earpiece and your alarm clock goes off, does it sound through the earpiece only? This was a problem with SlimKat 7.0 and one of the reasons I went back to a Touchwiz ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CheapSk8:
Funny, I just found this question, and that's what's happening on my phone right now. I am not sure when it started, but the audio, including Google Play music, is all funneling through the earpiece instead of the speaker currently. The alarm this morning went through the speaker though. And I am on Slim 4.4.4 9.0 8262. It just happened today so I am currently looking for a solution. It periodically happened on 7 for me, though not as bad, and somehow it went back when I adjusted volume (i think). Not this time though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Thanks for your response! On v7, the alarm ALWAYS played through my BT earpiece if connected so I always had to *remember* to disconnect BT at night before going to bed. Can you guess how many times I was almost late to work?!?! Hence the return to Touchwiz (S3Rx). I love the stability of Touchwiz but I deeply miss the snappiness/responsiveness of SlimKat. I was hoping v9 would combine both stability and speed...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CheapSk8:
Just rebooted it and I am back to my speaker again. My phone connects bluetooth to my office phone so I can use it while working (I'm remote). Interestingly, even though it's connected, the audio doesn't come through until I hit the cell button on the office phone handset, so my audio still came through my phone for my alarm this morning. Only, afterwards it was playing the music through the earpiece. Which sounded terrible, mind you. I definitely like the rom and have been on it for some time now, but I will have to see how often this occurs. It was rare on v7 for me so we will see the regularity.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Thanks, that sounds promising. I may have to take the dive and check it out again. Here's to still getting to work on time! :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CheapSk8:
LoL. Thankfully, I still have an advantage in dealing with that. When your "work" is only 20 feet away, your morning commute consists of making sure you make it up the stairs in one piece, avoiding the dog, it's easier to manage. :p

That said, I will definitely be keeping an eye on this issue and if it's something I find a solution for, I will link it. I would expect it to be known to them if it's a repeatable defect. I just haven't had time to try to dig into logs or anything to see what might be contributing to the issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Actually, I work from home too but thought it was easier to explain the way I did. LoL

Almost missing early morning client calls on SlimKat 7 was the problem.

Back then I was told the alarm issue was a known feature/problem on CM based ROMs after I flashing so many of them looking for the perfect solution so I gave up and went back home to Touchwiz. Definitely let me know if you find a permanent, consistent solution. I'd greatly appreciate it!

hey guys so i flashed the latest build 9 stable rom for i747 (rogers phone in canada) everything works except the mobile data, btw this was done through dirty flash thinking that there would be no problem, i've tried clean flashes and still got the same result anyone else getting this problem?

Sounds like you might need to update your modem. Check first in network settings to see whether you have or can enter Apn settings. If not, then try flashing the latest modem.

Viber and camera on 9.0

Hello all,

I'm wondering how one might go about trying to track down/debug why Viber won't bring up the camera on a video call.

I can press the camera button and I will see the other end but they only see my thumbnail picture. The video camera does not seem to turn on. This happend with version 7.0 as well.

So any thoughts or hints on debugging this or is this a "It ain't never going to work with this ROM" situation?

Suggestions please.

My camera is freezing after taking one picture. I usually reboot and then restore the camera app using TB to recover. I'm running Slim-d2lte-4.4.4.build.9.0-OFFICIAL-8262 with Slim_mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.x-385. This is happening on both my L710 and my wife's I747. Any ideas on how to solve? Should I install another camera app and if so, which one is recommended? Our only requirement is that it be able to store pics to the SDCard. Any suggestions appreciated.

I've been running the latest S3Rx ROM and I love the feature set. However, it has become very laggy, unfortunately. I just wiped my device and reflashed but it is still very laggy. Does SlimKat 9.0 have any noticeable lag or any bugs?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mp3deviant721:
It works pretty good, just the SlimRecents might be a little choppy at times but otherwise overall a smooth ROM.

I've flashed v9.0 and unfortunately, alarms only play through my bluetooth earpiece when connected. I will have to remember to disconnect it every night if I want to hear my alarm play through the speaker in the mornings. Boo! There must be a fix for this!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wrenhal:
Considering Bluetooth wastes battery, why wouldn't you turn it off at night anyway? You could use a program such as Silence from the app store to turn off Bluetooth at a specified time and then back on after the time for your alarm.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
You my friend, are a genius! I never thought about finding a way to *automatically* turn off bluetooth at night after I've gone to bed. The Silence app works perfectly and that solves one of my biggest problems with this ROM. Thank you! :highfive:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wrenhal:
No problem.

Hmm. I used the stock camera just fine right after installing, but I have taken to installing and using Open Camera almost immediately in every Rom I've installed.

I'm suddenly getting bad battery. Cell standby seems to be eating it. Tried different ROMs same thing. No new apps or anything. I'm stumped. Is it just an old battery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
It could be an old battery. Have you noticed any difference in signal strength where you're at? If there's a tower out or something, your phone could just be trying harder to maintain a connection. You could also use something like Better Battery Stats or Wakelock Detector to get more detailed info on battery usage.

From my SlimTab Pro 8.4

I'll try wakelock. I'm plugged in right now and watching drain 1% every 5 min or so. Signal does look a bit weaker than usual.

Caller Name Announce

Anyone using the Plantronics Voyager Legend bluetooth earpiece on SlimKat 9.0 with the Caller Name Announce feature working correctly? It is no longer working on my phone after flashing SlimKat. It was working perfectly on my previous Touchwiz ROMs (e.g. S3Rx, Likewise, TMS3KK, etc.). I've tried to get it working by using the following process but it is still not working:

Unpairing the Legend

Pulling the battery from my phone

Turning off the Legend

Rebooting my phone

Turn on the Legend

Reparing the Legend with my phone

Any other suggestions to get the Caller Name Announce feature working on SlimKat?

1 - Never used compass

2- Bluetooth Audio sounds great to me especially since I also installed Viper4AndroidFX. My problem is voice recognition does not seem to work when my Bluetooth earpiece is connected (Plantronics Voyager Legend).

3- No problems adjusting in call volume

4- Just ignore that error and check the "don't show this again" box. Titanium works extremely well.

If you keep having problems with in-call volume, you may want to reflash ROM.

Yes, your AT&T phone is compatible with this ROM. Any root method should work and I am using the latest TWRP recovery with zero issues! ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
To add to that, you don't really even need to "root" it. If you can install the custom recovery (I also recommend TWRP) then you can flash SlimKat, which is rooted if you turn on the option in developer settings. I'd recommend reading the FAQ on SlimROMs.net.
