Nope, chrome dev didn't fix it for me.

I managed to find another workaround that seems to be working for the last day. I disabled the merged tabs and apps from chrome settings. No crash till now.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] neo5468:
Can someone report on video playback through browsers like Chrome, if it is still broken?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
I've explained this issue before either in this thread or AD thread or maybe both. No matter what you do, the highest volume setting whilst playing music on the phone speaker gives me very bassy and therefore distorted audio. This is also transferrable to external speakers. E.g. turning the volume up to full on the phone but keeping it lower from the external speakers e.g a car head unit. You can still hear audio distortion. I've had this issue with roms that have the +3db boost
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EP21:
Well, they play correctly through chrome on AD3.1.3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rugbyfreak:
Sometimes the video stop and only the sound play. Can fix by restart the video, rly bad :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] neo5468:
That's why I stopped using this build. I will flash AD 3.1.3 and test it out, since someone told me that it works fine on it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arifnasirshaikh:
Yup working.. I am on build 17,using Chrome and uc.. Video playback is working the way it should be... Even on facebook app video is playing perfectly without any problems... Flashed 17 on the day it released, till now no problem..

Best build for our s3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] neo5468:
Even after you seek back and forth few min, video does not freez? Someone above me just confirmed that it is happening to him as well. How did you manage to fix it then. This was the only issue I had with this rom. I need video playback capabilities almost more than calling. After I was seeking, the entire video froze and I got "Sorry this video cannot be played" error.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arifnasirshaikh:
Nope I'm not facing anything such.. It's working fine...Btw for what its worth I'm on boeffla kernel and enabled SE LINUX strict and enabled zram
[Galaxy S III Android Development] neo5468:
What are your zram settings and swappines % ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arifnasirshaikh:
Number of zram 4

Zram disk size 600

Swappiness 80
[Galaxy S III Android Development] neo5468:
And playback with Chrome was with html5 player like this one?: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/inspire/2013/02/html5-video/fig01.jpg

Not mxplayer or any third party app ? This is really strange. I might test it again with zram enabled this time. I have no idea why this is happening to me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arifnasirshaikh:

no random reboots on build 17 + boefella kernel... 3 days and going...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] woodwars:
agreed - running with beoffla and xposed, great battery life and no force closes or reboots
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MastahF:
I just want to give a heads up that in the newest version of Chrome Google did fix some of the memory issues, so even without zram I don't have any crashes anymore.
[MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] thank you for this great build :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
That's great news. Finally Google have sorted out the ram hog that is chrome.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] RazOne:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] arminbih:
Same here, tried many different combos, stock kernel is the smoothest and has got best battery life. Also it does not slow down on heavy use, or over a long period of time, 0 reboots since first day. Thx, good :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
Amazing build I have to say. Even better than beta8, which I was using for couple of months. Faster than fast and hell stable as usual. My only concern is lack of "preferred install location" option in Apps settings. I hate when apps are installed on my external sd, when I always got 400MB free, more or less. Any chance to add this option regardless from CM team? [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] netraraj:
Any idea about how to revert back to original volume settings (-3db boost)?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mesiu84:
This rom works much better then build 16, I didn't have any soft reboots since I updated it. The only thing I'm missing is working MMS, but I guess we have to wait for CM to fix it.

Is there bugs with camera and flashing led after read sms ? thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] what3va:
Hello,

I've got this strange bug I think.

I've selected to be in 3g, but it says 3g (current 2g) all the times and Internet is very slow.

I thought that it'll change automatically to 3g when it is needed but looks like it doesn't.

I'm using build 17

Is it just me?

Thanks

Long days and pleasant nights

Power button problem?

Hey guys,

I've had this problem on previous versions of this rom (but never happened on other roms, even ones made by Archi).

Very often when I hit the power button, instead of turning off the display it shows the power menu and then goes ahead into a bootloop, as if I were still holding the power button.

(when the display is off, it turns it on and goes into a bootloop in a couple seconds)

I thought the physical button is the problem, so I opened the phone and used a multimeter attached to the button and it worked perfectly, didn't leak voltage/current when not clicked.

So the problem is somewhere in the software, I switched to ArchiDroid 3.1.3 (for about 1-2 weeks) and never had this problem again, but I had horrible battery life so I came back to Build 17 (clean install), everything seemed to work correctly for a day and now it began again.

I can live with the problem (home button to wake and double tap status-bar to sleep), but I just wanted to bring it to your attention.

Regards,

RisinT96.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lcrponte:
If you really press the button and instead of turning off the display, it shows the power menu and starts bootlooping, it's not bootlooping, it's keeping the button pressed as you already came to that conclusion, even if you've tested it with a multimeter, that behaviour is 100% the power button being pressed. It could be the electronic part of the button or a plastic deformation. One or another, it's the power button.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RisinT96:
As I've already stated, It doesn't exhibit the same behaviour on other roms so I'm pretty certain it's not the button, unless it mircalously fixed itself when I was running the Week 16/15/14 builds and archidroid 3.1.3 (which is a period of ~1 month or more) and then broke again.

It's been doing this problem on earlier builds of this rom and now has returned.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] b0unty:
well mate if you can't provide any logcat ... your problem will never be fixed :) (if it's a software failure... not sure about that)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AW3SOM3FR3AK:
Hi, I've been using this thread to update my S3 since around build 13 i believe and I thought I should finally step in and help out. I can't remember everything exactly (as I flashed the ROM on the day it came out and I have only just now gotten around to making this post) but I do remember that I had the issue that I believe everyone was having before; I could not open emails in Gmail nor could i open any message in the phones default messaging app or Facebook's messenger because the apps would just crash when I would try, other than that it was the fastest version but sadly I had to go back to an older version I knew worked. Hope this helps, let me know if there's any details or help i can provide. (side note: I use titanium backup to restore everything on my device, so that it doesn't take as long to get back to the way it was, if that can interfere or anything) (another side note: I use the Clockworkmod recovery for flashing)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RisinT96:
I'm getting a new phone soon anyway so it's not critical for me, I seem to be the only one who has this problem whose button actually works fine.

I've been trying to record a catlog when this is happening but for some reason after yet another reboot it stopped happening.

Well, my device has been having many problems since day one so I guess it's just my bad luck, yet it somehow survived three years.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Leang Vannak:
great Rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] VVMM:
Whenever I try to copy a directory from /data/data to sdcard using the CM file manager as root, I get a message saying "The operation failed" Anyone else? Why is that?

I just want to make backup copies of app's data.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrescm:
Perhaps an app is locking some data file and that makes the copy operation fail?. What if you narrow down to copy operation to one single directory to see what happens?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
Is it just me, or does the notification light spasm every second whilst charging with the screen off?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sunit6k:
Same with me!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] VVMM:
I always try to copy one at a time. I do not need all folders. So I tried with only one and the same thing happens, no matter which one.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Geddd:
Did someone notice that there's no notification either in lockscreen or statusbar of new messages. You will just realize when you open Messaging.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EP21:
I bet you disabled the notifications for that app or even all apps.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lcrponte:
Or Greenified it or something like that... My thought exactly.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Geddd:
yeah, I've greenified messaging. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Thank btw.

I got 2 issues with Build 17.

Alarm clock:

Doesnt appear on screen when alarm rings, so i can´t choose snooze or stop anymore. I have to go manually to clock and alarm clock to turn off the alarm. Anyone else got this problem?

User Profiles:

i set "home profile" without PIN request on older builds before. Now on build 17 i can´t turn PIN request off for this profile. is it not possible to anymore?

thanks a lot.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MastahF:
Depends what you want. If you use yourself many Google applications, I'd suggest to use the Aroma installer and select which ones you'd want to use and allows you to remove some of the built-in CM counterpart apps. This installs the applications on /system/ and leaves you more space at your /data/ partition for other applications.

If you only want to use the Play Store go for pico, if you'd also like to use (offline) voice commands you can go for nano.

Completely offtopic btw: but seeing the leaked specs of the new Nexus 5X, I think I'll really try to last another year with the Galaxy S3. :-/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Have you ever tried a new phone? The S3 is SO slow compared to newer phones. It's unbelievable.

Even a Nexus 5 from 2013 (only 1 year after the S3 came out) is lightyears ahead the S3.

A S5, HTC M8 and OPO destroys the S3 in every aspect. Even the 199$ Moto G 2015 has better cameras, better battery, MUCH better performance, stock Android and so on.... And it gets official Android 6.

The S3 was 'good' back then and it's awesome that devs still bring newer Android versions to it BUT it's slow, ugly and not future proof nowadays.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrescm:
No cell phone is future-proof.

I think it's fair to say that if anyone of us had the chance we would surely jump to a newer and faster model.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
I know that no phone is future proof. It just wanted to say the S3 is an old device with bad hardware. Don't say it hasn't if you don't own a new device.

The fact it has closed source exynos and mali stuff isn't that useful too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RazOne:
Stop arguing useless. Yeap it s a old phone but JustArchi can make it like new :D he told he has a surprise so let s wait and see if S3 is so bad

Sent from my AMAZING SIII
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nkirk:
Its not so slow once properly tuned mind you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ariano Ângelo:
In my opinion if Samsung have cared more about S3 and made the Exynos open source maybe our phone would be way faster! Btw with the clean Android Lollipop it's pretty fast. Blame Touchwiz.

Samsung is not that type of company that cares about its costumers, expecially the guys like us that are still using a legacy device... They just want you to buy its new product and earn money from it. Its sad but true.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ariano Ângelo:
You know why? Because people still buying the new ones that are pretty overpriced.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Leang Vannak:
I am waiting for what JustAchi said he have something new for us.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrescm:
So far build 17 is perfectly stable, no problems so far and everything is working. Feels like a winner!. I'm using Boeffla kernel 4.0 alpha 13 by the way. Battery life can't get better.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MastahF:
The S3 is indeed 'slow' compared to new phones. But it is now more than 3 years old, so to expect it to keep up with them would be foolish.

But, I am really happy with how useful this phone still is (because of JustArchi's hard work) after such long time. Most other phones of 3 years ago are now in the dumpster, but ours is still running the very latest Android version, install all apps and can even play games from the app store.

So if I calculate how much I did pay for the device, and how long it did last, I am very satisfied. I recently replaced my power button (that was broken), battery (so I can do whole days with it again) and did add a Qi charging receiver and a new backcover. So for just a few euros its exterior and accessoires are up to date again.

If I buy a new phone, I'd be looking for a significant upgrade, that can last for some time. E.g. if I compare the screen of current medium-end phones, they barely offer any improvement over the S3. ANd when looking at a new phone, and it e.g. offers only 2GiB of RAM, I know that it won't be lasting for 3+ years. I will be happily using my S3 for a bit longer, until the 'proper' offer comes along that can convince me to upgrade and that the hardware will last long enough to justify its cost.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rugbyfreak:
Waiting with you! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ariano Ângelo:

I know what you mean in terms of screens. Samsung's screens are the best, I wish more OEMs would use this AMOLED technology. I know LG's g flex 2 uses p.OLED but it still isn't up to the standard of Samsungs, which offer vibrant bright displays for outdoor viewing and a very dim setting for night time viewing with surprisingly accurate reproduction of true colours in the basic display mode
