To answer your questions :

*1 are you on the MF1 firmware NE1 modem combo? Yes

2-Have you had this issue on other ROMs? its the first time i upgrade to 4g, i couldn't try on other roms.

3- Are you trying to use the phone on GSM network or is it a Verizon LTE sim? Its not a verizon Sim , its a 4g sim from another provider and the area is covered with 4g

4-What ROM are you flashing, weekly or release & what date is the build? its cyanogenMod 13.0-20160908-NIGHTLY-d2vzw

Thank you very much for your help !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crofutt:
Yes, I am using the mf1 ne1. I will check out the link you suggested, try again and report back. Thanks to all for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crofutt:
I did a clean install, no luck. Followed the suggestion to use nuke-it after which my phone would not boot. Had to boot from SD and all that goes with it. Back to full stock Verizon rom which does not work where I live now (only gsm service). Rooted and unlocked bootloader. Flashed OctosRom and everything works EXCEPT cannot receive calls. In my thinking, this has to be something simple since it did work at one time... Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
Strange... Have you checked to make sure your APN is configured correctly?

On a side note... Were working on our "Final release" build now. It'll be available in the next day or so & you can try again on the new build. Have you tried any other custom ROMs? Also if you're trying to use your CDMA d2vzw on a GSM network that'll have a lot to do with it. If that's the case there's a flashable d2gsm ril zip floating around one of Mastamoon's threads with instructions... I think ??

?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crofutt:
Like I said, it worked before. I have been using this phone here (Caribbean) for 3 years. I am using GSM only (It is the only one that works) and the APN is set exactly the same. Mobile data works as well. I am repeating myself but this rom did work flawlessly for several days. I have tried different basebands too with no success. I am back on LiquidSmooth 3.1 and it is working again just fine. I tried Slimrom and CM12, neither would receive calls. But remember please, Octos did work fine until I Titanium restored the stupid sms messages. Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
So... Its been awhile. Our final Marshmallow release build is now available on our website!

OCT-M R3 final release https://www.teamoctos.com/release-builds/

Going forward we'll be working on Oct-N. I know a lot of you are still on M & curious about N & when your device will see it.With Oct-N we've moved back to an AOSP base. We're working on getting an AOSP-CAF branch so that we can bring our legacy devices up to N. This will take some time & some devices may not make the cut. We appreciate your patience as we work on bringing Oct-N to as many legacy devices as possible. Thank you all for your support, Stay tuned! ??

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gravdev:
So long, and thanks for all the fish!

In light of the occasion, I just wanted to take this as an opportunity to say to the OctOS team -- thanks for everything! I've been a bit of a lurker on xda, starting waaaaay back on a d2g, then otter, ovation, and currently d2vzw. The d2vzw has been my daily driver for ~4 years now, which is kinda crazy to think about... Even crazier yet (crazy awesome) is the fact that, throughout the lifetime of this device, I've more or less always been able to say I'm running the latest version of android, with the latest security patches. I cannot overstate the level of satisfaction and peace of mind that affords me.

I feel like that is really saying something, considering the sh*t-show of an update schedule that most carriers in the US (and veri$on in particular) have deemed acceptable. Despite this being a perfectly capable device, it seems that carriers, in general, have little to no incentive to maintain devices, as most consumers are not well enough informed to understand _why_ they should care about updates. And yet, carriers are more than willing to do everything within their power to deny device owners the ability to take control of their own devices.

In short, I feel incredibly indebted to groups like OctOS, CM, the countless developers on XDA, and the android modding community at large. It is thanks to the hard work, ingenuity and technical know-how of all of you developers that enfranchise the wider community by giving us the means to take back control of our devices. I really admire and appreciate the dedication of teams like OctOS, for progressing the android ecosystem and providing us with super stable builds, solid documentation, and support for anyone who cares to get involved. You guys rock!

PS: Keeping my fingers crossed for Oct-N, but also understand if the d2vzw doesn't make the cut. Admittedly, it is getting a little long in the tooth. All the same, I plan to ride this device out until it either breaks or becomes vulnerable enough that I become sufficiently sketched out. lol. Who knows, for a while now I've been looking into making my own builds -- primarily as a learning experience, but also for that sweet, sweet street-cred. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbaluka:
Well said!!! I've also had my d2vzw for 4 years. I love this device. I finally upgraded to a Nexus 6 about two weeks ago and I was a little sad to let go of my S3. My friends & family all have newer phones but they're often jealous of my old S3 simply because of the customization made possible by these developers. The OctOS Team are some top notch developers and deserve our thanks.

hello my s3 i535 verizon in the GSM network signal read me out calls receive text messages but I do not enter the calls, there is some fix or application to solve that problem in the GSM network
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mamarcac:
Record video via Text not working

Overall this ROM is fantastic, just a quick question to see if anyone else experiences the inability to record and send a video through the texting app? Pictures are fine, but if you want to record a quick/low quality video to send via the texting app, the camera freezes and only records a picture of the initial frame.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eh1san1:
Thanks for this fantastic rom i also want to use it but the issue is i am unable to flash my device with twrp every time i try to flash my device with this twrp it come up with the error message that contact the nearest Verizon store we are unable to boot into recovery all i all have now is safestrap 2.7 version i want to know that i am having Samsung s3 Sch-i535 with android 4.4.2 kitkat please tell me that is it possible can i flash this rom with Safestrap recovery????

Is the stock kernel needed for everything (mainly the camera) to work properly or can I flash a different one & be ok? Has this ROM been tested with other kernels?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
You can use other kernels as long as you don't report bugs while doing so, & latest dkp has the camera commits so it shouldn't kill the camera, I tried it briefly on d2att b4 restoring stock kernel just because I'm a long time fan of decimalman, if you use flashify to backup your stock kernel its easy to restore w/o a reflash of rom. Camera wored fine with dkp for the short time I was on it

Receiving incoming calls

Hello all!

I flashed this rom days ago and I really liked it, its smooth and has a lot of awesome features. You really did an amazing job here!

The thing is that I just realized that I can't receive incoming calls. My phone has ML1 and is not blocked (BL). Also I am in Mexico, so Im not sure if this could be the problem. Everytime I go back to a 4.3 rom o lower, everything works fine. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thank you in advance

Greetings!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lepa71:
Have you seen this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] axlx0:
It really worked for me. Thanks a lot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
You will want to update your basebands and firmware. Make sure all your mobile data settings match your carrier settings

After that you should be good to go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 23ant23:
Awesome ROM :) Running smooth without a single issue. Really appreciate the hard work & thanks for keeping the S3 alive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AirForceOnes0010:
+1! Preordered this phone when it was originally released and still running strong thanks to this. Smoother than all my friend's S5s on stock OS. Probably my first and last samsung device though.. I can't support getting rid of removable batteries and microSD. LOVE my anker 7200 and 64gb card.

Do i need to update modem to NE1 before I flash this rom?

Running 4.4.2 with 3.4.0 kernel. Can I install the OctOS ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
If you have a custom recovery installed than yes. Do a factory reset and than flash rom and gapps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dandydon414:
installed this today and got a bootloop. did a clean install. running twrp 2.8.6.0 and the NE1 modem. didn't flash any gapps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] htrowpiks:
Any chance of of a d2usc build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sytech55:
Guess I'm stuck. I'm on stock and wanted to get away from stock. This phone was my backup phone if S5 became inop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
Make sure you are flashing clean. Verify MD5 sounds like you got a bad download
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
Nope your not stuck grab twrp recovery and Odin put your phone in download mode flash recovery from download mode power phone off and reboot to recovery go to reboot option and reboot recovery it will ask you to install root let twrp root. Make a back up. Wipe and flash rom and gapps. Enjoy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dandydon414:
thanks. I downloaded the rom again and the md5 file. got error message that md5 doesn't match even tho I just downloaded it a few minutes ago. I'm downloading the files again to see if I can get it up and running. i'm wiping data, cache, dalvik and system. will report back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toosurreal01:
Any updates coming soon?

Last one was like 3 weeks ago :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dandydon414:

New Life Breathed into this old Phone

You guys rock! I haven't been able to get a lollipop rom to work on my HTC One m7. Once I saw this I figured I'd give it a try. Not I don't think I'll be going back to my 4.4.4 HTC One for a while.

This ROM makes my 3 year old S3 feel like a brand new phone. Better performance and battery life than the day I first got it.

Thank you very much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
If your not getting calls it could be a

ruim/sim NV issue on your side you are the first to report any issue I would be checking your settings if I was you or are you on an alternative carrier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
Are you using the latest twrp for your device. I heard that VZW locked your guys bootloaders on the 4.3 OTA which means only safestrap can be used so no aosp based Roms can be flashed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Youngtusk:
Lock Screen Features?

I think I am missing something really obvious, but I can't find any settings or features for locking my screen. (PIN, Pattern, Smart Lock, etc.) Normally these features are under Security, but I can't find any of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dandydon414:
rooted since day one and never took an ota. and yes, using the latest twrp which I flashed yesterday. I had liquidsmooth 5.0x running on this once upon a time. but I'd like to have the latest lollipop installed on this. I've flashed 3 different 5.1.1 roms including cm 12.1, slim and this one and they all bootloop. very weird
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
I'm not sure......

Now it does take a while for the rom to boot up when I flash I just set phone down and leave it to do its thing for about 10min when I come back its at the setup screen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dandydon414:
it boots up fine then it runs thru the android is updatlng thingy then it reboots and does it all over again. i then flashed a 5.01 rom no problems. i'm back to wicked 4.3 tw. works no problem. problem is with 5.1.1 for some strange reason. got the ne1 modem and twrp 2.8.6.0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
Its in tentacles, there's an app in the app drawer & you can also access it by tapping build date once in settings/about phone. There's a QS tile for it as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wolf0713:
Try flashing VRBF1 firmware and NE1 modem before flashing the rom. I had same issue where the I get android is updating and would reboot start again. I found this solution after searching through invisiblek's CM12.1 posts. on page 38 Hope that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toosurreal01:
Same thing happened to me. Flashed that firmware and modem and running good so far.

I have noticed if I leave it on charger (USB > PC) and it's fully charged I'll get reboots randomly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] justinnotjason:
I've downloaded the ROM and MD5 twice in both Chrome and IE and the MD5s aren't matching.

I'm downloading OCT-L-M1-5.1.1-20150422-d2vzw from this link: http://www.teamoctos.com/supported-devices/samsung/galaxy-s3/verizon-galaxy-s3-d2ltevzw/

Any advice?

Tried it in a third browser and without my VPN with no luck.

I'm using Nirisoft's HashMyFiles and had similarly no luck using http://onlinemd5.com/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dandydon414:
I already have the NE1 modem installed. If I flash that firmware do I have to reflash the modem? I'm on an unlocked bootloader, is this gonna mess anything up since it's a Jelly bean firmware

I'll try it on my laptop. Maybe there's something up with my connection.

EDIT:

Getting the same hashes on my laptop on a different wifi connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
OK you md5ing a md5 you need to look at it as a text file it will have the md5 for the rom zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] justinnotjason:
:D I literally just laughed out loud with how dumb that mistake was.

The irony is I tested my internet connection by dl'ing another ROM and looked at the text file. Sorry for the moment of insanity. :eek::victory:

Hash file checks out. On to the flashing!

Quick question. I currently have CWM installed. I notice you recommend TWRP. Can I flash TWRP over CWM using TWRP manager out of the play store or should I use ODIN?

EDIT:

I used ODIN. Never seems to be the wrong answer.

EDIT again

New issue. TWRP is installed, but when I boot to it, it doesn't read my phone. It shows 0 MB for the internal memory, and the file manager can't navigate my Ext. SD Card. Phone reboots fine and my phone is still fully functional.

I downloaded TWRP Manager and it says that CWM is the installed recovery. I uninstalled TWRP Manager and installed ROM Manager. It also shows CWM as the installed recovery. I flashed CWM and reboot into it. In CWM I can see all my files without issue.

I can't figure out why TWRP is giving me an issue. Almost seems like it installs but CWM is still on the system somehow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dandydon414:

Anyone have an "invisible" keyboard every once in a while ? What happens is I enter a text field but the keyboard doesn't appear. If you tap where it should be, it then shows up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
It has been fixed we are going to be releasing soon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
Okay, I didn't see it mentioned, so I wanted to make sure it wasn't some setting I missed.

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

One other quick question although this probably isn't unique to this ROM, when I open the "Phone" app, it defaults to the "Speed Dial" screen. Can I have it go to the dialer instead ? Maybe with an Exposed module ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
Did you install using TWRP manager?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] justinnotjason:
I installed using both Odin and TWRP Manager. No change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AirForceOnes0010:
I'm glad someone else is asking about CWM, I was at the "oh ****, the directions specified TWRP"-stage while installing this via CWM. Not exactly an authority on android but it worked perfectly fine for me coming from CM. Wiped everything and went through the process as normal, works like a champ except for the keyboard not showing up every so often like someone else said. If that's the biggest problem though.. Lol. Anyway, just my .02
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
Main reason of twrp is cause its the most up to date recovery lot more user errors come from CWM not doing full wipes and yes about the keyboard it has been fixed. The new builds should be released soon we where going to release last week but the D2 camera bug came back but that's been fixed again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] justinnotjason:
Yeah, that makes sense. I don't think CWM has been updated on the S3 in a few years from what I remember.

I just can't figure out what the deal with TWRP is with my phone. Debating on flashing with CWM if I can't get TWRP to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mi9ke123:
let me know how flashing with CWM works..if you do decide to try that...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
There's no harm in trying CWM. I saw a mention of it not wiping partitions properly ? Just manually wipe or erase them, then run the install script.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
Two questions after having used this for a few days...

1) Is long-press-menu-kill-app available? I think I found the menu in Tentacles where I'd expert it.

2) When using the camera with flash, how can you speed up the picture-taking ? The flash lights up for 3+ seconds, it seems, then pause, then finally it takes the picture. I keep moving the camera thinking it's done and either missing the shot, making it blurry, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toosurreal01:
The camera is slow when using flash. I've noticed that as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
Took a picture yesterday and counted off (6) seconds between hitting the take-picture button and it taking the picture.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NapalmDawn:
Hi Bthorne. Is there any screenshots you can share? Also, I'm coming from WickedROM which is a JB 4.3 rom. I know at the time, I got the rom on via safestrap. Would that mean anything extra would need to be done to flash this rom? Does lollipop perform well on our devices compared to JB?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
Oh wow your on JB yes it is much better but if your on safe strap your not going to be able to flash this rom. With your boot loader locked your stuck with TouchWiz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NapalmDawn:
Yep that's what I thought. That is why I was asking. Does that mean lollipop roms are out? I think the answer is yes. I'm happy with my rom as it's done me well for awhile but I decided to poke around today and see what's available.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toosurreal01:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mi9ke123:
Coming from the previous build, do we need a full wipe to install, or can it be installed over it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toosurreal01:
I dirty flashed the first time then kept getting google play services errors, so I just full-wiped.

Seems all good so far.

Camera lag with flash is MUCHHHHH better!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trilandun:
I installed using CWM. I wiped everything manually and it worked fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
I understand that if the devs all use TWRP (I do as well) and they are comfortable that everything works, that they recommend it. It's just one less thing for them to have to worry about, test, etc....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toosurreal01:
Seems like there's an issue with the notification pull down. The first one in the list gets covered up by the quick settings panel so you can't see the notification.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trilandun:
I dirty flashed from 4-22 to 5-20 after formatting cache, dalvik and system on CWM. Up and working great. Battery life seems better and camera is better.
