II also have a Straighttalk SCH-U9689 and ever since I have started flashing custom roms it has said that I need a sim card. I just went on ebay and bought a Verizon sim card for about $3 and it's been working great ever since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Is your stock mms(picture messaging, not SMS/regular text) working? If not then you can dial *228 to program the SIM and enter these APNs in the screenshot I provide. Enter the APNs and save them, it will disappear(this is normal but they will still work) then reboot and you should have working MMS.

***Warning***

Verizon users do not dial *228, it will fry your SIM card, this only works for straight talk users.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JacobAndrew07:
No, I cannot send MMS. My current ROM (Dirty Unicorn) doesn't have a spot for me to enter an APN under settings. When I dial *228 I need to activate my sim card with Verizon? As in push #1 then enter my phone number and everything? Just making sure since I am not actually on Verizon and don't want to wreck my phone, again...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
No, the rest of us are putting a Verizon 4G CDMA SIM in then dialing *228 to OTA program, its automated, just dial and let it do its thing, when its done it will say it is programmed then you hang up, nothing for you to enter.

As for entering your APNs, if you flash a ROM that does have APN settings then enter them and save them then flash back to whatever ROM you want and your APNs will still work because when you save them they get saved to a place that doesn't get wiped or overwritten when you flash a ROM. This works on CM12 or the other lollipop ROMs, they have APN settings, some of the Kit kat ROMs have APN settings but I'm not sure which ones. I'm not sure if all the lollipop ROMs have these settings but CM12 definitely does, this method was first discovered/created on mastamoons CM12.

This works on the straight talk S3 sch-s968c, did you type your device model correctly in the first post I answered, that's the first time I've seen the model you listed on straight talk.

Also, if you have the sch-s968c and have the right chipset(mainly the modem) then do a nvdata backup so that you protect your IMEI, its a simple command in terminal emulator on the device, there is also a PC method to do this. The point is to backup your NVdata(IMEI) so that you can recover/restore it if it gets wiped while flashing from ROM to ROM, Samsung screwed up on these devices and left a partition out from the factory that makes these devices vulnerable to corrupting NVdata during flashing, if you don't have this backed up then it is extremely difficult to restore, it requires manually re writing the entire modem partition from scratch to restore it, without an IMEI the device is dead. And don't go flashing different modems either, that's a sure way to get bricked. Don't try unlocking it either, that hard bricks it completely. There are instructions for the terminal commands, its just two commands

su (press enter, grant superuser when prompted)

reboot nvbackup (press enter)

Your device will flash some writing at the top of your screen then reboot. This tucks the backup safely away in the device that survives through wipes and flashes. If you unfortunately wipe out IMEI at some point then to restore the commands in terminal emulator are:

su (press enter, grant superuser)

reboot nvrestore (press enter)

This puts the IMEI back where it belongs. In the process it wipes out your original nvbackup so you'll need to make another the same way so that you stay backed up.

***note***

As far as I know this only works on the devices with the Qcomm modem, some of the devices have Exynos chip set but have a Qcomm modem, these are able to nvbackup but any other modem can't as far as I know but don't quote me, I could be wrong and all devices could do it.

Not sure if you knew this already, its just that there are threads that have this info for using and programming sim then entering APNs that also have the rest of what I posted so since you haven't programmed SIM or entered APNs then I'll assume you haven't seen the rest of what I posted. I hope this all helps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JacobAndrew07:
No I didn't type it in correct the first time. I have a 968C, I was on my phone at that time and just didn't catch it.

I tried flashing PAC-ROM, which was my go to ROM before they stopped updating 4.4.4, and tried changing the APN. I had everything set like you said, but it still didn't work. I still get a no APN specified at the bottom of the screen. I left all the ipv4 options the same, is that what I was supposed to do? Also the Internet + mms exactly like that, spaces and everything? Thanks for any help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Use CM12, as I said this doesn't work in all the kitkat ROMs, it works for sure on lollipop then you can go back to kitkat after you get it working and you'll still be working.

Use mastamoons CM12, its the only ROM I can verify for certain that it works in, there are some others but that one definitely works correctly to do this.

The screenshot I gave you is from another user that he typed as a pm.

Enter everything as it says in the screenshot but when you get to the line that says APN type, enter it like this:

APN type

internet,mms

Exactly like that, no spaces, no uppercase, all lowercase.

Then click the menu button and select save, the APN set that you edit should disappear from the list after you save then reboot and it should work.

Edit only the lines shown in screenshot and nothing else. Enter each line as the screenshot shows.

I downloaded cm12 and gapps last night. I wish they had a full download for gapps instead of just the essentials. I personally like all the other apps that it usually come with. But I will be giving it a try shortly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
You can use any 5.0 Gapps package, you aren't limited to just the one in the CM12 thread, there is also a CM12.1 but its relatively new, I'm not sure of how stable it is.

And don't forget to enter the APN type with all lowercase and no space, only a comma between internet and mms.

I must have a bad download, it installs fine but when I get to the setup part it says setup error of some sort. Been busy with spring work and haven't been around WiFi enough to redownload. Will let you know how everything works when I get some more time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Make sure you get a 5.0-5.0.2 version, this may or may not work in the 5.1 versions. Try an earlier Feb build of CM12.

Still doesn't work :( It installed and is running good. But pictures still won't send and it just says downloading when receiving..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
You aren't doing something right then. I haven't seen a user having any issues with getting MMS to work by doing this.

Let's go through it again:

1)insert 4g SIM

2)Dial *228 and let it do the auto program then hang up when it says programmed successfully.

3)Go to APN settings, when you open the APN setting you will see a list of APN names, click one then enter the APNs from the screenshot exactly as they show in the shot, only edit the lines listed in screenshot, when you get to the line that says APN type edit it so that it says: internet,mms (all lowercase with no spaces, just the comma between them and no space after the comma)

Click the menu button in the top right of screen, select save.

The APN you selected from the list before editing will disappear and won't show on the list anymore but it is still there and will still work.

Reboot and you should be fine, make sure you have network settings set to NV and 3G.

Did everything exactly as said, but still stuck on "sending" when trying to send a picture :( its not to uncommon for things to not work correctly with my phone.... I have unfortunately grown used to not being able to send/ receive mms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
No, you aren't doing something right, that's just all there is to it. What you are missing I don't know but its an error on your part somewhere, I'm CERTAIN of that.

I could get you straight if we could communicate in a way other than here.

Anyway to get sdcard to work? I've tried kit Kat fixes and formatting but no joy. Everything I've read says something different. Any help would be appreciated. Other than that Rom was running good but had to go back to something else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Recover your files with a PC version of a data recovery program and then get specifically a Samsung sdcard and you won't have that problem anymore, trust me, it works, don't think about it just take my word for it. It has gotten many of the S3's on lollipop straightened out. Don't ask me why it works that way but it does.

play won't connect?

anybody having any issues with getting play to connect? I installed the latest rom and the listed gapps (wiped system/data/cahces) and could not get the play store to connect. Says to check my network connection but I can open the browser and browse just fine. I then tried getting a different slim gapps package and flashing it instead but the same problem. I can add my google account just fine. Right now i'm reflashing and I wiped internal SD just to see if something was hanging around there maybe. Anyone else? Oh, i also tried clearing data for play store, play services and whatever the other one is, framework maybe, and rebooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
Stop dialing *228 with a 4G sim.. You WILL fry them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Not on the straight talk S3, dialing *228 is how we get the 4g SIM to fix our MMS issue, this is FACT, not supposition. Dialing *228 does indeed fry the 4g SIM when done on the Verizon S3, I've stated that fact already with a clear warning to Verizon users.

Recent apps switcher doesn't work at all. Also, when you check an app for the app version it shows it overlapping with other text. When clicking Vibration intensity in settings it crashes the settings. Other than that it seems smooth and stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Hey, I just thought of something that I didn't suggest the first time. When you entered the APNs did you start a new set or did you edit an existing set that was already there? If you started new ones then that's probably what is going wrong. Try editing one of the existing sets that is already there then save it and reboot and see if it works. That's how I and others that have this working did it, that may be the difference.

Boost Nexus 6 Performance & Battery Life by Lowering the Resolution [How...: http://youtu.be/9HREkRpPVa4

I'll take the hit on battery life for a higher resolution. That's part of the reason why this phone is so great.

[Nexus 6  General] kingston73:
Have you seen a noticeable difference in battery life? If this would give an extra hour or two at least, I could see doing it. If it's only a few extra mins, maybe not. Guess it can't hurt to try.
[Nexus 6  General] tcrews:
Nothing for battery time but here are some AnTuTu tests.

2d and 3d results, Nexus 6 stock, rooted, unencrypted 5.01.

Ran AnTuTu before making the change...

2d - 1596

3d - 16910 (2560x1440)

Made the change and ran again...

2d - 1636

3d - 20004 (1920x1080)

Changed back to stock and ran again...

2d - 1636

3d - 16303 (2560x1440)
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
I suspect that it would actually be more clear at 1280x720. Reason is that this is precisely the half-way point, which means that one "virtual" pixel takes up 2pixelsX2pixels on the physical screen. At 1920x1080, you're somewhere in between, which means that pixel boundaries won't line up to real pixels.

1280x720 also is the "full" resolution for one direction of the RGBG subpixel matrix.
[Nexus 6  General] wmfreak:
That's sad. I got 51590 on antutu, stock decrypted
[Nexus 6  General] tcrews:
Not really.

I've gotten 52574, 52140 and 52083 all stock, decrypted for the full score just randomly running AnTuTu full test.

I just pulled out my phone today, ran the test and reported the 2d and 3d numbers only.

My full scores today were.

Initial - 51180

change - 54067

back to stock - 49606

These were all run back to back and the phone was getting warmer so that may be why the score dropped as much as it did for the final run. All runs previous to today have been in the 52,000+ range.
[Nexus 6  General] BrianTX:
I changed mine to 1280x720, with a density of 320. It looks pretty good, with some minor graphical issues. At normal resolution 3d is around 17k.

[Nexus 6  General] guitardoc64:
Nice. gotta try it.
[Nexus 6  General] BrianTX:
When my phone is sitting idle my GPU spends most of its time at 240 MHz, instead of 300 MHz at stock resolution. I don't know that this will save much battery as our 805's don't struggle with 1440p like the snap dragon 801 does. My wife's S5 would probably benefit from this more as it is fairly easy to bog down.

I'm having video player stuttering and pausing while trying to play 4k video that I recorded with the phone. I also noticed while navigating today that the phone didn't get as hot as it normally did, but there's a whole lot of variables that can affect that. Just some observations, I'll see how this works out tomorrow as far as battery life on a typical day.
[Nexus 6  General] PunishedSnake:
No battery life yet eh?
[Nexus 6  General] venturizhou:
From the poster of the video

Anything's possible with root! But to be clear, this doesn't change the fact that your phone still has to power the extra pixels (because they're still physically there), it only helps with your GPU in that it doesn't have to process the extra pixels. But less processing generally equals less battery drain and smoother performance, and every little bit helps.﻿

So basically sounds like battery life gains are going be very marginal at best.
[Nexus 6  General] fethi2:
Device looks like crappy with 1080p density 420. Icons looks like samsung s3. If you want that, go buy a S3
[Nexus 6  General] XERO_Racer:
I disagree with your statement, I don't see a difference at all
[Nexus 6  General] Elnrik:
Pure snake oil. Changing resolution does nothing. Your display/GPU is still having to draw all images at its native resolution regardless of what you set it to. Unless you picture box the screen some how so the processor isn't having to draw a full screen, this will have no effect on battery.

In fact, assuming the GPU does process the image at 1080 first, it is having to process it again to make it fit the 1440 screen. Stands to reason that would cost you battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] hotleadsingerguy:
But serious though...the difference in battery life is most-likely extremely negligible.

The display is still pushing power to all of the pixels...the only battery you're saving is the CPU working slightly harder to create higher-resolution outputs. This is about the same as changing the CPU frequency to like 5% less than normal...you might gain another ~15 minutes of screen on-time.
[Nexus 6  General] BrianTX:
I had the wonderful sensor Ind wake lock today, so battery life definitely sucked. I'm hitting 5 hours SOT with 15% left as I type this. That's about 1.5 hours SOT shy of an average day with no wake lock issues and 1440p. As we all knew battery life would get at best a very minor bump with this, the screen is still lighting all the pixels after all. Oh well, it was worth trying out, but if Google would just fix these dam wake locks it would save many of us a ton of battery life! Back to beautiful 1440p
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
This is incorrect, because duplicating the values on adjacent pixels (by performing an integer multiple) has negligible processing overhead.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:

[Nexus 6  General] IcipherPT:
Placebos, more baterry life placebos...

I can't understand why do you want a 6" screen without is default resolution.

Of course your antutu gives an "higher" score, you are running the SAME benchmark with a LOWER resolution...if you think that 52k @ 1080p is good with this phone then, you are wrong. This baby does 55k @ 1440p so, at 1080p would give you a bit more points but, that doesn't matter... Just man up, you are on XDA! Unlock bootlader, flash a good rom+kernel and its done! :)

This solution doesn't make any sense to me, sorry.
[Nexus 6  General] HitNrun_:
After i changed resolution to 1080p i was asking my self, you cant see the differens but wasnt the 1440p display one of the reasons you bought that thing? And if i gain 30 mins of sot will this be heroic?

So i changed it imidiatly to stock, i dont really think its gonna give you more sot because the pixels are still there and they drain power but even if you gain more sot itll be like 30mins or less so i really am willing to sacrifice those 30mins :)
[Nexus 6  General] monkboy24:
People will do whatever they want with there device. Truthfully you could just buy this phone and use it as is without rooting it or running a custom ROM or custom kernel on it and be just fine. But this is the Nexus so we experiment and we make options. Some things may be beneficial for some people and may not be beneficial for some people. If you don't like it or see it as being pointless then why care about it. That simple.
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
The problem with running benchmarks on Android is that there are far too many factors at play that can have an impact on the results.

In fact, the same can be said about *ANY* multi-tasking operating system. Unless you know that nothing else is going on (which you definitely don't know), then the benchmarks WILL be impacted by any other thread running on the device.

Low score might just mean that it did some kind of cell connectivity maintenance while the test was running, or synchronized your google account, etc.
