Did you flash baseband or bootloader or both?

Try a factory reset from twrp wipe menu and reflash ROM.

Wait until it finishes and let us know how it works. I rarely have my phone on charger when flashing it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EGM92:
Fenxius I let finish with the screen off. I came back 2hours later to see if everything was in place and ready to be used. I found the phone completely off it drained the battery to 1%. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but the notification screen brightness bar makes no visible change when when sliding up to 1/4 then the brightness changes. The rom is pretty good otherwise I've only experienced a couple of random reboots but that may be because the phone was just too hot.

Thanks for the work you put into these Roms.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
That doesn't sound right... Can you try a different kernel perhaps?

Here is alternative Deathly kernel by Deadman, its an early version, but it was stable for me in testing, no oc yet in it:

http://www.drdevs.com/devs/teamliquid/Kernels/d2lte/Deathly-Reborn-5.1-d2-05-07-2015.zip

or Sean's post about it in g+:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/+Seanhoyt/posts/CfFdKLpjn7T

I didn't get absolutely any reboots ever on this ROM, weird. What does the battery stats say?

Maybe try using a different gapps package as some might have older broken version of Google Service which actually can cause massive battery drain and also make sure all other apps are up to date. it all sounds like something hangs in background and drains battery, because of constant CPU load.

I use the SlimROMs 5.1 beta mini gapps package and it works OK for me. Banks is probably a good choice too alternatively.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JPuzzle0:
Before assuming it's the Rom, make sure your cord or wall adapter are fine. I've had cords go bad on me and even one wall adapter stop charging. I use the 8 ft cords and usually get about a year and a half per cord. I buy the ghetto old Motorola adapters from Amazon and I had one fail a year ago but have like 10. Either that or maybe whatever you used to restore got stuck in a loop. I didn't restore my apps through Google though bc I use titanium backup. Maybe it's a bug in the restore?

I've been getting better battery for a week now. I judge by how much battery goes when idle. I've been losing 2.5 to 4% per hour idle (with data syncing) whereas I'd lose 6 or so with stock and cm on a good day, and sometimes much much more (w cm and stock) if a memory leak.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
Just came back to this ROM after flashing back to Stock for a bit. 5.1 is a huge upgrade. Its awesome to have everything working right out of the box. The only thing I cant figure out is how to remove that "Null-Null" on the pulldown. Ive already turned off the Weather option and cLock and its still there. I thought that's what I disabled in 5.0 to get rid of them before.

FYI - Flash took about 15 minutes to complete, Was up on the "Optimizing apps" screen for a good 10. Took no time to flash and haven't seen any other issues at the moment
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
Actually theres been a few hitches so far. I spoke too soon. So far my SD card wasn't picked up, Play Music and Gallery didn't find my media and when it did, it said not playable, But a reboot and reinserting the SD card worked. And this morning I tried pairing with my Samsung AirTrack Soundbar and it connects, then it disconnects right away. A reboot doesn't fix it. Works with other devices in the house no problem, Im wondering if its the kernel. Any thoughts on a suitable replacement for now to test with?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
fresh builds uploading, require a clean flash though because of MMS handling changes
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EGM92:
Fenixus I was running a complete stock flash of your rom. Just the build for d2tmo and the gapps linked in the OP. I gave up on the rom and went back to 4.4.4. Your build from last night is working flawless the battery drain is gone, at least for now. I restored my apps and settings over night when I came back to check this morning the battery was fully charged at 100%

I do have a question graphical glitches. I'm not sure if this is normal or not but I went into About Phone clicked on the android version and brought up the flappy bird clone. Every so often the graphics glitch. I haven't noticed this in apps just curious if it was a known or not
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] luxkore:
Tried to install the DKP kernel for undervolting support, but it seems that after some certain events it will do an optimizing apps reboot loop.

I haven't yet determined the exact cause, but would you know of any stable kernels that allow for UV? You mentioned that bundled kernel does not currently support OC, so I assume it also does not support UV.

Anyway, looks good so far. Runs a bit hot where I live, but hopefully I can fix that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mp3deviant721:
How much are you undervolting? Too much and you will have stability problems...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
Fenixus might have to chime in on this one, but I think you need to get up to KK for the bootloaders. And yes the Camera and SMS work fine on mine. The only issue I seen so far is you need to use the "Messages" app and not the new "Messenger" one. When trying to send anything through the Messenger app it wont send to the recipient or even display it sent. But it will start running in the background chewing up battery. SO I just use Titanium to remove it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
Yeah, id suggest upgrading to kk first and as new bootloader and modem/baseband as stock provides then check if all works then factory reset and flash 5.1

If any of you guys plan on upgrading to 5.1 from something as old as 4.3 it may end up in some unexpected results lol, don't know of anybody who did that to be honest.

As per Messenger app, yeah it cant send anything out and hangs on it draining battery, I've seen it too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
fresh build is up, Quick Reply was added, Blacklist too, APN should get set automatically now to fast.T-Mobile.com. All builds are now compiled with our new set of optimizations and currently provided kernel is Deathly-Rebirth.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
Flashed this today and still stable. But still unable to pair with my Samsung air track soundbar. It connects then disconnects right away. I figured that a kernel change would help but guess not. Any thoughts?

Oh as well in the right corner when you pull down the notification bar it says "null-null" I haven't been able to get rid of this on the 5.1 builds..is it possible and missing something? I know its supposed to show the weather but I don't need it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
Not sure, havent seen that one for a long while, but I remember something. It did catch at some point for me, not sure if it was after I changed gapps package to slimroms or updated recovery or it was the most recent clean flash for me about 2 weeks ago, but i dont have it anymore.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] luxkore:
That's weather. I remember null null until I set Location settings to high and accepted the prompt.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
Was there any way to disable it? I remember on 5.0 builds if we disabled the weather widget it would go away, but I haven't been able to get it to work. Plus if it does, Any way to set the temp to Celsius? Im not finding any settings.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
Nevermind. Found the options to set it to Celsius. So I guess theres no way to remove it at all like previous builds. But on the other hand Any ideas on the Bluetooth pairing?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wulfie66:
ambient display?

Does this rom include Ambient Display and does it actually work? i.e. screen turns on when you pick up the phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
I have the ambient display turned on. But it doesn't work when the phone is picked up. Just when a notification comes in.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wulfie66:
another question, does it matter which 5.1 gapps I flash with this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
It shouldn't matter which GAPPS package no, I wanted to point out though that I downloaded the new 5.1.1 build (05/25) yesterday and flash it along with the mini SlimGapps package found in the original post. After flashing everything worked fine, however I noticed I needed to download Gmail, Keep ect...No big deal, But when I downloaded Gmail I tried opening a email I had. And it FC'd every time. I cleared cache ect and still busted. So I reflashed it along with an older Gapps package I had "Slim_full_gapps.BETA.5.1.build.0x-20150511.zip" and it worked perfectly afterward.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 4ccmusic:
In earlier builds, when I hold down the the main button I was able to close apps running out of memory. Thats doesn't seem to be the case in the last few builds. Has something changed? How do I know if there are apps running in ram?

thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
If you wanted to get the "Recents" menu to open when you long press the Home Button, Go into Settings-> Liquid Smooth -> Navigation-> Hardware Buttons and Enable Custom Actions. Then scroll down to Home Key Long Press and change that to Recents.

If you were looking to see what's using your RAM go to Settings-> Apps then swipe over to "Running" and you can see it there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 4ccmusic:
Thank you. That helped!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
New build is up ?

Downloading now

Thanks OP
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
Downloading the new build now. But has anyone had any issues sending or receiving MMS messages? When I try my mobile data cuts out and I need to toggle data off and back on to get it back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mitboss:
Is this a clean install? If not try a clean install.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
Yes I always clean flash. This was a clean flash last build and this build. Same issue...sending or attempting to receive an MMS while on the mobile network takes out data connection. Then I need to toggle to get it back on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] luxkore:
Having an issue with the navigation bar, which is cut off in the middle on any launcher.

Nevermind, fixed it with https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/how-to-enable-transparent-nav-bar.149003/

Additionally, the nav bar can no longer be changed to another theme's. This is only for the most recent update.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
I am using this Rom for past 24 hrs and everything is working correctly finding no issues with Bluetooth as I used Bluetooth headset for 4hrs and no disconnecting issues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yeeahnick:
Great ROM, unfortunatly I cannot use it as a daily driver. The reason for this is the camera. Once in a while when I open the camera it says "cannot connect to camera" and I must reboot to fix it. I managed to recreate the problem by rapidly and constantly double tapping in the camera screen for it to focus over and over. After maybe 20 taps the camera freezes and the message appears. I do not have such behavior on a TouchWiz rom. Sometimes it takes 6 taps and freezes, sometimes takes more. Sometimes all i need to do is open the camera while im walking and it freezes. Its pretty much random. I know this has been an issue with AOSP/CM since the beginning with this phone because Samsung did not release the driver or what ever. Thought id share because what lead me to install this rom was people saying that the camera was finally fixed. Unfortunatly it is not and I am stuck on TouchWiz for ever =(

BTW This is from a SGH-T999V
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
The Camera Should be working on the new builds. Its worked for me ever since the 5.1 build started rolling.Try this

1) Backup everything you need to keep off your internal memory

2) Make sure your up to date with TWRP

3) Flash the newest ROM found in the OP and the GAPPS

4) Run through ROM Setup

5) Once set up, go into Settings-> Backup and Reset and then hit "Factory data reset"

Let the phone wipe itself and then set the ROM up again (Don't flash again), Once the phone comes back up it should work. I have had to do this a few times on previous ROMS
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yeeahnick:
That is pretty much what I did with last weeks ROM (think a new version is out this week). The only thing I havent done is Factory Reset after the install but I dont see a perpose for this because I alrady clear everything before install. I guess that I will try again.

Can you do a test though and try to double tap as fast as you can in the camera screen for it to focus quicky. Try doing it for like 30 seconds non stop to see if the camera freezes. Thanks!

Which TWRP are you using, I am on d2tmo 2.8.5 do I need to use d2can instead????
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
I had tried the Camera test you wanted. No problems here, was able to tap for 30-60 seconds to focus without any issue. As for the TWRP. I'm using the 2.8.6.0 TMO version if I remember correctly
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] juggalo818:
I had the same problem with the camera but got it fixed by doing a clean install .in most cases you can just flash the update and that's it but on this last one a full wipe is the way to go .but that's not why I came today to post I got a problem that l just started on the last 2 builds the phone over heat's when using certain apps but the worst is the maps phone gets so hot and then turns off ... Any idea how to fix this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yeeahnick:
Okay so I installed TWRP 2.8.6, clean installed latest ROM + gapps, then went in Backup and did a factory reset like you suggested. I opened the camera took couple pictures then decided to double tap 6 times to make the camera focus and BOOM camera froze and gave me a "cannot connect to camera" error. I have to reboot to fix it. Dont know what is different with your SGH-T999V because theres nothing to do to have a fully working camera on mine. Sad sad sad.

See my video of the problem in action =)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] luxkore:
Try using the Performance setting to change the governor. Idk if it can UV or OV but you can try those too - undervolting can help with heat (as a Floridian, I attest to this)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
Has anyone had any luck Sending or Receiving MMS messages? A few posts back I noted that when I attempt to send or receive any MMS message, my data connection drops and I either need to toggle the data connection off and back on or reboot the phone to get it to comeback, but the MMS never comes through till I hit a wifi connection
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cash2387:
I was just able to watch your video today. I did the thing as you did, but mine didn't freeze up. Do happen to have your save location set to SD Card or Device when doing this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zswielder:
I always had that same problem ever since I moved to Lollipop, but mine went away after doing the clean install of the latest version. One thing that I may have done differently is, during the initial wipe, I used the advanced setting and wiped everything except for my microSD card. This means, I wiped the internal storage too. I didn't have to do any factory reset or anything like that. My camera has been working great. I hope yours gets fixed too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yeeahnick:
Thanks for the watch. I tried both sdcard and externalSD same results =( TBH ive had that problem with every CM version (10,11,12.1) with this damn SGH-T999V. I miss my good old S2 because it always worked flawlessly with CM.

Thanks for the reply. Honestly I have moved back to TouchWiz 4.4.2 because ive had that camera problem since CM10. Feels like theres nothing I can do besides buying a new phone that works good with CM. I know that I had formatted my SD card on CM11 to try and fix that issue with no good results so I dont feel like trying that again. Maybe in couple weeks I might change my mind because this ROM is so great!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zswielder:
You're welcome. Just to clarify, I did not format my sd card, just the phone (its internal storage).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] juggalo818:
New Bug??

ok so on the last rom i have a blank spot on the notification area and cant see whats behind it anyone know how to fix it ? i cant do a screen shot to show you or i would but it looks like there is something there but its blank
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zswielder:
I'm not sure what you are referring to, but you can take a screenshot by pressing down the vol down key, home button, and the power button at the same time. Keep pressing them down until you see the screenshot flash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mp3deviant721:
On AOSP it's only vol. down + power. That's the Touchwiz way to screenshot you are mentioning.

Ok new problem came up Facebook just updated and now I cannot post comments or reply to posts on this rom anymore is there an around update that will fix this or is there something that is blocking this from happening I can type a message but I cannot send it when I send it the app crashes and restarts the phone does not restart the app does

Just wanted to say thank you for the great ROM development, but the wife and I have upgraded to the Note 4 a week ago. And we just recently sold our S3's. Again thank you for the awesome ROM :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TrinitiJordan:
I flashed the 6/03 ROM, clean flash and im experiencing more random reboots and frequent system ui FCs than the last version, 5/25. My bigger issue is that I cannot connect my new Walgreens activity tracker. Got it free from a convention. According to the device instructions, my device and OS should be compatible yet when i try to connect, it wont. I went thru troubleshooting with Walgreens CS and they said there's no reason why it shouldn't connect. They suggested returning it cause it may be defective yet when I tried it with an iPhone, it connected with no problem.

Edit: NVM, i see there's a newer build. i'll flash that and see if it helps

Is a clean install required when moving from 6/3 to 7/6 release?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yahanna:
Ok, I was very close to installing this CM rom. But given the problems that poeple are complaining about when it comes to the camera, I'm put off now. Is there a stable version of CM Lollipop rom without any camera, video camera, video, wifi, calling issues?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
Could be required especially if upgrading gapps too (heavy changes in those recently), always recommended with nightlies..

Whaat??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zswielder:
They already fixed the camera issues..... a while ago even.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zswielder:
I installed the latest version (7/13 release), but ever since I installed it, my hangouts isn't picking up my voice(?) at all. In the past, there were times when people told me it was hard to hear me, but this is a different issue. The other party can't hear me period. I tried reinstalling the app, changing settings, etc. Nothing works. The only thing that changed was, I switched to this 7/13 release, so I'm wondering if there's a problem with it somehow. Can someone else test hangouts and make a call (not video call, regular call) on the 7/13 release to see if you encounter the same problem?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] android_noob12:
Ok I'm on the 7/13 release with Slim Gapps 5.1 Mini installed. I have an issue where my phone crashes to black if I take a picture with flash on. I can't turn on the phone with the power button; instead I have to remove and insert the battery, then use the power button to turn it on. Is this issue happening for anyone else?

Quick update: It seems to happen when battery is low. I just now tried it while charging. I was able to take a flash picture and phone didn't crash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
I think I know the root cause of that one, but no worries that will go away in next build probably. the last build included some bad commit from CM which was later reverted. it had to do with changing settings of microphone for VOIP calls.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
are you using OEM battery or something cheap from amazon? I happened to see something like that when older replacement battery got so bad that it couldn't hold a proper charge and using a flash was crashing the whole phone ... if it doesn't happen while charging then most it's time for a new battery maybe?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] android_noob12:
I was using a non-OEM battery. It holds a charge, even though battery meter readings are inaccurate. The phone doesn't crash above 20%.

Anyway, I have an actual legitimate issue with the latest build. Mic doesn't work during video calls (with services like Oovoo and Vsee). Also, front camera works with Vsee, but not with Oovoo. I'm inclined to blame the latest build because when I restored back to Kit-Kat (LS stable 3.1), I don't have those issues. These could still be app issues, but I'm not savvy enough to be sure.

One last issue is that adblock apps don't work. I have to repeatedly update host lists, which only works half the time. I have tried with Adblock Plus and AdAway. Again, this wasn't an issue with the latest Kit-Kat build.

I'm sorry about the completely separate complaints, but I encountered these issues within a couple days of each other.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
VOIP issue is confirmed, it will be fixed in next build.

There is LiquidSmooth/Advanced/adblocker, it works but downloads updates the second time for me, first download always fails for some reason.

I have that issue with Bluetooth as well. Not a big deal but I do have it

How to disable the stock cam?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
Go to Settings / Apps / All and go into "Camera" then tap Disable button on right.

Can you try a different kernel and see if it persists?

Maybe try the latest BMS kernel 1/29/2015:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] khulet12:
Thanks... But Instagram still crashing..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zswielder:
I just checked my kernel, and it says "3.4.105-cyanogenmod-g539d551 fenixus@salamander2 #1.

Maybe I'll try and flash the shift-D2 kernel you mentioned to see if that makes any difference, but I really think it's probably the app Cyanide had that was handling audio. I can't remember the name of the app though.

On a separate note, is anyone experiencing issues with GPS/Navigation? It constantly lose GPS connection and navigation hardly works. What's funny is, when I'm standing somewhere, GPS works just fine. The issue happens only when I turn on navigation to get to somewhere. I had the same problem with Cyanide, but it managed to work if I gave it enough time. But, with this ROM, no matter how long I wait, it doesn't work.

By the way, shouldn't the title of this thread be 5.0.2 instead of 5.0?
