Google Camera videos on 05/06 nightly are not reliable. Didn't discover this until I tried to view a video yesterday that I *thought* I had successfully taken over the weekend on 05/09. It's grainy and smeary all at once. Audio is fine.

Trouble with this report is that I can't say if I was using the stock kernel or dkp. Took a video last night on stock kernel and looked okay. I'll try to flash dkp again this week and see if that breaks it. Has all of the recent action with the camera fixes been within the kernel? Anyone else seen something similar? Also, are we going to get 1080 back?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] niftium:
Also, +1 for this. That or modify the LTE on/off tile to do encompass the whole range.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
This would be incredibly useful. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tanker Bob:
This would be great, especially since I have to revert to 2G and back to LTE to get LTE to work after every nightly update.

How about 05/11 or 05/12?

I haven't noticed any reboots on the 5/12 version when i connected the phone to a usb but it was only connected for about 10 minutes.

I tried that crazy video and it defaulted to 720p60 and had what SEEMED to be occasional lag and freezes ...

but looked to Me that those freezes are actually part of the video itself (bad recording) cuz the music kept playing and then the video would resume ... and/or possible stutter with wifi connect to youtube site itself

so I'm saying that I dont think its your hardware nor rom ... its the content and/or provider (youtube)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ScOULaris:
YES! You just experienced it. When the audio continues but the video freezes and stutters is exactly what I'm describing. It's not the video, though. I can watch it on my wife's Nexus 5 or my Nexus 7 with no hitches or hiccups whatsoever. In fact, when watched on any other device in my home it's much smoother in general because it's not dropping any frames. On my S3 running on CM12.1, it's dropping frames throughout the entire video and occasionally stopping altogether for a few seconds before catching back up to the audio.

Go ahead and search YouTube for "60fps" and you'll find a ton of other examples. Set them to 720p60 quality, and you'll see the same hitching/stuttering behavior across all of them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cLogic:
the S3 is 3yrs old and it is quite possible that the gpu is just not quite up to this particular job ... time to get a Nexus I guess, lol

these issues are not that important to Me ... I only use youtube when it pops up to handle video links and to occasionally cast those videos/movies to My tv

there are settings in developer options that you could play with, altho dangerous:

under Haardware accelerated rendering ...

force gpu rendering, force 4x msaa, disable hw overlays, etc

good luck

I think I found a bug. The calender app is not recognizing my Google account. It asks me to sign in and says my account already exists. There are also no calenders to display. I can't add events until I've signed in. Can anyone help?

I know this isn't rom specific because I just came from liquid smooth and it had the same problem. Must be a 5.1.1 issue on our phone perhaps?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] whodisname:
Nope, already seen delete the Google app it comes with (not mandatory but be a professional as much as ya can!) Then redonload from Google play

Then live life as normal!

Have a nice day? ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] WHib96:
I'm on the Aug. 20th nightly and just tried this. Oddly, the first 720p60fps video I watched, the Avengers 2 trailer, had NO stuttering at all. Worked perfectly. However, I then tried to watch the Minions trailer in 720p60fps and I couldn't even watch it because the video would freeze while the audio would continue. I don't think this is because the S3 is old, considering its hardware is still quite impressive AND I've done 60fps youtube videos before on this phone at least twice and they worked fine. If I recall correctly, I was on another cm12.1 rom when I did it before just to check it out. Thus, I would agree that it must be a bug with either the YouTube app or the rom.

Going back to the Avengers trailer, it seems to work better than other videos. Still, the second time around it lags a bit.

Okay. The stock calendar app does not work and it seems others from the app store don't either. Google calendar, however, does work, so that will work for now. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ScOULaris:
Yeah, not to mention the problem started with the CM12.1 builds. 60fps YouTube videos played normally in CM11. I noticed the issue right away after upgrading to 12.1, but I figured it would eventually be ironed out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] WHib96:
Okay well you gave logs so it should hopefully get fixed up soon.

Devs, if you need anything else (more logs?) let us know. I will rarely use this feature but I'm all for helping ironing out any bugs.

No mobile data on 08/20 or 08/21 nightly

Hi all, just clean flashed 08/21 and I cannot seem to get mobile data. I can text and call out. Confirmed apn settings, tried LTE/GSM no luck. I found an old post to delete the telephony.db file, but still no luck. I am on a Canadian S3 with the latest modem bootloader of NH2. Tried to flash the NJ1 bootloader, but wouldn't flash. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] manfromgta:
It's a good thing NJ1 bootliader didn't flash. You likely would have had a paper weight. Boot loader and modem must match. What android version of ROM are you coming from? I have no issues on NH2.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wrench588:
Yikes, lucky then, I thought the zip file would have included both the modem AND bootloader! Interesting you ask what ROM I came from, which was a TW 4.4.2 rom, do I have to format the internal SD card or something when going to LP? I seem to recall reading something after you asked this question?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wrenhal:
NJ1 is att us anyway
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] manfromgta:
I did format internal when I went to lollipop and didn't suffer data issues. It's a good idea to do a full clean wipe when upgrading major version changes.

So I believe this has to be a software bug, as I reloaded my TW ROM, and I have data back. I can't download an older nightly from CM, link not working. Any suggestions for an alternate kernel to eliminate that possibility?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HMkX2:

Dial *#*#INFO#*#* (Left-right-left-right, INFO, right-left-right-left) and press the "Context menu" face button, select "Radio Band", and try fiddling with one or both of options. "Automatic" should get you connected. The other switches to Euro frequencies, so you should LOSE data with that. Also, verify in the dropdown menu "GSM auto (PRL)" is selected. Or try fiddling with any. Also, make sure the correct APN is set in the "Mobile Data" menu. Mismatching any of these three linked settings will result in no data. (I have to use "Broadband" APN on ATT. If I use "LTE", I lose data.)

For some reason I cannot get LTE signal or speeds working, even using this procedure. Does anyone else have this problem? I am running the 8/20 nightly, soon to be 8/22.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wrench588:
Awesome, thank you so much for your help! I was able to get my data FINALLY working, but not without some tweaking.

Here's what I did to ensure data was enabled.

1) In the settings menu (*#*#4636#*#*) make sure you select LTE/GSM PRL in the drop down menu. For some reason my phone kept on defaulting to WCDMA. I believe this is why I never got data to work from a boot.

2)I selected the context menu and selected "AUTO" and also "ENABLE DATA" for good measure.

3)I made sure I selected the correct APN in the APN screen under the Mobile Network Settings section

4)Under the Preferred Network type setting, I selected GSM/WCDMA/LTE.

5)Reboot the phone-very important to do so!

As HMkX2 stated, if I didn't have these

exact settings

, I wouldn't get data on a reboot and make it stick.

Hope this helps somebody else having difficulty getting data to work.

Edit#1- Not fixed, after 2 reboots, back to defaulting to WCDMA and even with the settings as stated above, no data.

System UI Crash when Media is playing

Starting with the 8/25 build an continuing into the 8/26 build, I've had problems with the System UI crashing if I have media playing (BeyondPod, Poweramp) and I try to unlock the phone. I've tested this with 3 different launchers (Trebuchet, Nova and GO Launcher Z) and they all crash. The only way to fix it is to stop playing the media before unlocking the phone.

Currently on the NJ2 firmware.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Matt K:
I had a minor issue when I was using this, when charging the battery light would kick over to full before the battery was done charging (it would be around 95ish%). Not sure if this is a problem with the ROM or on my end but either way thought I'd bring it up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wrenhal:
On mine it turns green at 90%.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Matt K:

Oh noez! I haz no rootz!

Greetings XDA! Its been a long time since I've had to resort to posting but for some reason the thread search isn't working.

At&t s3 5.1.1

I've been rooted for several months now, so long that I can't remember what it was that I did to achieve root. I have TWRP and CyanogenMod(of course) and have had very few issues until today. I flashed the ROM ending in 50827 with seemingly no problem but now that I'm all booted up I realised that I no longer have root.

I'm sure you guys can help me get rooted again in a jiffy so let me thank everyone in advance... THANKS!

about phone, tap build 5 times, go to developer options and enable root.

Did these logs prove useful at all, nardholio? I'll gladly generate some more under different conditions if you need more data.

Thanks for all the work you do maintaining these.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
CyanogenMod recovery replaces the old ClockworkMod project. It is automatically built with every nightly. I have no idea if it even works, I personally use TWRP and recommend it.

Unless you are still on Clockworkmod or on an old version of TWRP (before 2.8.6.0 or later) you don't need the CM recovery.

I now believe the cause is outdated Widevine libs. I am incredibly busy at my day job and haven't had a chance to update or test newer libs. If someone would like to help me that would be phenomenal. This commit from a similar device should point you in the right direction

I poked around TheMuppets and TheLoonyBin for a couple of hours, but the only widevine libs I tracked down for msm8960 devices matched the checksum of what is already in /system on my phone.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jswclw:
Not sure when it started. When I went from 8/14 to 8/24 was when I noticed it. The place I most often notice it is when the phone is asleep and a call comes in. It takes forever for the screen to come on so I can answer the call.

About to update to the latest in hopes that addresses the issue.

I went from 8/20-8/24 and had the issue. 8/28 has same. Let us know how it works out.

Not sure about the CM link but I still have a copy of it. Not sure how to get it to you though. Waiting to see if 8/30 fixes the lag.

Edit: I actually uninstalled and reinstalled the YouTube app and I now get the 60fps option. And yes a few seconds in, the video stops while the audio keeps playing.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ScOULaris:
Thanks for testing that. Sounds like you're having the same experience the rest of us are. I think this issue went relatively un-reported simply because the number of users regularly watching 60fps YouTube videos on an S3 on CM12.1 who also bother to report issues is relatively small.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
d2 received a new CM 11 stable build today to fix stagefright and a few other CVEs, but no bug fixes, so Snapchat FFC is still messed up on it. I did not sign off on a cm 12.1 stable build because, while I feel these builds are more than stable enough for the crowd that will only flash stable builds, CM cut the stable tree in freaking June. Word of advice, if you do have another phone which received the 12.1 stable and are currently on nightlies, you will need to wipe before flashing stable and you're not gaining anything.

After a really bad experience this morning trying to navigate with Google Maps while running the 8/31 nightly, I decided to bite the bullet and return to the last good nightly that I had, 8/14. Tried dirty flashing, but that was a no go. I move forward that way all the time, but going backward resulted in constant "process died" popups after boot. The popups were so constant it was tough to get the touches in between to get back to TWRP. I ended up restoring the last backup I had (from 8/8) and dirty flashing forward to the 8/14 nightly. Now that I am back to this, it is way better in terms of responsiveness, and battery, and now when I receive a call, the screen comes on immediately. I guess I'll just leave well enough alone for a while.
