As I troubleshoot and load tonight, I need help with something. (I'm also scouring for answers as I do this) I can't load the GApps zips, it either locks into a "Cannot open Setup Service" prompt or when it gets through that, it can't find anything Google-related. I'm guessing it might have something to do with TWRP 2.5 being on my phone, which I'm working to update without the Google Play store. Is there something else that might be causing an issue?

Edit: Nevermind, went with the Odin/TWRP manual update. Everything appears to be working now! Updating apps and such. Whoo!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CasualCore:
Well apparently Facebook doesn't sync contacts anymore, and my old contacts list appears to have disappeared, but other than that it seems to be running smoothly. Then my Verizon Cloud decided to sync to my now-empty phone and so that's gone too. It was outdated but still it was a starting point. Never thought I'd be one of those "lost my contacts" type of people but here we are I guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Can you load a nandroid and choose a manual export from within 'Contacts'? Do you use Titanium Backup or something similar? Does Google have them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CasualCore:
I think I was under the assumption that my contacts were syncing to my Google account, which they weren't. I got home yesterday and started backing things up but I rushed it obviously. It's not the biggest deal though, slightly refreshing not to have all those old useless contacts anymore. Also, Facebook not syncing anymore caught me by surprise but that's okay too.

Anyone else lose lte on 7/4? Also getting a lot of instability with Nicholas' dark material theme. Thinking about clean flash revert to 7/3, since change logs mention APN "clean up" for 7/4. Thoughts, suggestions, and humorous anecdotes are welcome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CasualCore:
I switched to WiFi all day today because I was getting an exclamation mark on my bars, didn't think too much of it other than 4g might have been down. But if others are having connection problems, maybe it's a thing? I thought I had a connection when I loaded it last night but maybe not?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Got lte back on 7/3, but had a bunch of problems, so it could've just been me and my d2. If others are having lte fail on 7/4, 7/3 works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phonetool:
I can't say for sure that my connection is poor since the 7/2-7/3 APN fixes. I'm on wifi so much that I don't regularly test my normal data connection.

Sure seems like shiat right now, though. Can barely get 1x, let alone 3g or LTE. I'll keep an eye on it as I move around today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I've been having data problems for awhile. Usually when I boot, it won't be functioning, but occasionally it does. I have to check, and here's how I quickly get it back: With Wifi off or disconnected, open Settings>Mobile Network>Access Point Names and choose FOTA, or one of the others. Within a couple of seconds it pops back to 'Verizon-Internet' and it's on and I'm good until a reboot.

EDIT - I've tried clean flashing, June builds from nandroid and rebuilding the /sdcard/Android folder, etc ... but no luck. Even tried a different cm-based ROM. One thing I haven't done lately is go back to my 4.3 TW ROM and see if that works normally, which I assume it will.

PS - I'm on 7/2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
I was getting a lot of instability with that theme as well and I'm fairly sure it caused bootloops. I switched to the theme "deep darkness overhauled". Looks awesome and haven't had any issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] msolaw:
Still running 6-25. No problems really. Not any with data at least. GPS can take a while to lock sometimes. But otherwise good to go. I'm staying put on my current nightly as I see no reason to change what's working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Thanks for the ault dark theme tip. I'll check it out. I don't think chummy put out bad theme builds, just too demanding for d2. Nicholas's is still one of the most comprehensive dark themes. If using on d2, should probably limit to styles and status. The boot animation, in addition to being creepy, seems way too resource hungry to use with d2. I think that was what caused boot fails for me. Miss those cool icons, though.

CM 7/3 is working quite well. GPS seems slightly better than it was with the late June builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phonetool:
I'm running status bar, style, fonts, and icons from material dark and minima android (also from chummy) for the boot animation. I don't think I have any issues with force closes or mysterious reboots or lockups as a result. Any of those things are so rare they're almost unheard of.

I'm getting great battery life on the rom. I go to work with 100% and come home with 75%, go to bed with better than 50% usually (depending on how much I'm running the phone for entertainment). I've got a 7000mAh battery. I'm sure if I managed my usage and radios I could go 3 full days on a charge. In the past with other phones my workplace has traditionally eaten battery - it's a real deadzone. I expected the S3 to be down to 50% or less after work, like my GNex on a similar battery.

Data connection seems to be my worst problem, but where I work and where I live are both sort of dry on data anyway, so I can't blame the phone or rom for that and don't spend enough time in other places to really test out the data. Maps does work pretty well, though. I can say that.

Really, I've got no complaints.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Bronx Cheer

Troubleshooting my data not being connected on boot (though easily activated) I restored a nandroid from 5/8 and lived with it for 24 hours. The data worked perfectly on that and nothing I could do would make it fail. Today I dirty flashed 7/4 over the 5/8 and ... you guessed it, problem returned on first boot.

I guess I should get a log of when I switch off the Wifi and LTE doesn't show, and maybe one of it booting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Battery life on lollipop has been horrid for me, but that's to be expected, haha. I just carry an extra battery around with me when I leave the house.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CasualCore:
As an update to my post during the weekend, I too had iffy 4G on Sunday but my problem went away Monday. So I'm not having the same connection issues as others are apparently having with the 7/4 build. Gotta say, I love the updated modem though, calls in the last couple days sound clearer and signal seems stronger on the ride home through the back highways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
You may want to try dkp kernel for better battery life and more control generally. Decimalman explains on his forum why the cm kernel is a bit of a power hog.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Hmm... Alright I'll give it a try, thanks! Is the process just flashing it after every CM12.1 ROM flash/update? As in does it get reset back to the CM kernel with every nightly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Yes. I think you can flash a kernel pretty much any time. Don't think you need to wipe cache or anything. Until you're sure it's working OK, might want to run the nightly as is for a few hours, then flash dkp. That way, if you have a problem, it's isolated to rom or kernel. Reflashing the rom will replace the kernel, if it misbehaves. You'll also want something like Kernel Adiutor to tweak settings. Even if you do nothing else, try setting TCP conflict algorithm to illinois and io scheduler to deadline or sio (for ext SD). Also run tweaks for a while before setting them to apply at start. Don't want a setting that freezes the phone to apply at start. I have a 20 second delay on mine bc sometimes I don't take my own advice and have to rush to kill a tweak, before it applies. Let us know how it goes. Cheers!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Where can I get dkp kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hexcorev2:
Anyone care to chime in which nightly is the most stable at this point? I haven't updated in a while and I'm looking for a place to start.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
7-3 is stable for me. I heard there were issues on 7-4 (I think) so I'm waiting a few days till they're sorted out before I update again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Honestly, I came here to ask why there hasn't been a nightly for a couple days now. I am new to nightlys and have never been so brave to do them but am curious. I see the change log is getting quite big so it's not like there's nothing new.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
I forget who, but someone said we had like 17 days straight of nightlies, so to have a few days off is justified. Lol. I am on 5/18 and all is well so far. Nothing abnormal going on. Give it a try. GL ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yorkwar:
It fc when I click the icon to launch it. I even have no chance to select my zip to set it up. Sure, there are about GB free space.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Hmm..., What recovery are you using? Needs TWRP or CWM-based, though maybe not CWM itself, though according to the faqs it should at least run and download the patch. Try clearing the data and see what happens. Then try clearing the data first, then uninstall and reinstall .

There isn't a xda thread for this app which is unfortunate, though there are some devoted to it under a few different devices. Might be worth checking through some of those to see if others have had this issue, and also going onto the cyandelta.com site where there are some faqs.

Also there is a link to a Google+ community through the site where it directs questions to be addressed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I am not in direct contact with the Device Maintainer, though I believe I know who it is. I sent a message to him yesterday to ask about including him in the OP and got no response yet, if it is who I think it is.

We got spoiled with all those builds rolling out like that! :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Oh OK. Yeah I guess I thought nightly meant every night haha. I thought it was maybe automated where if the updates got the approval and made it to the change log, something automatically compiled it and put it out as a new nightly. I understand people have other things to do, I'm just trying to understand the processes. Thanks though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
We have to have an unpaid volunteer to compile a build for our specific Verizon version of the SGS3. That's one of the reason's I wanted to get him outed and on the OP so we could channel some donations his way.:D

Call Volume

Does anyone else find the in-call volume way too loud? I am constantly pressing the down-volume during calls. It's at the lowest setting. The speaker sounds blown out it's so loud.

I google searched the issue and there are numerous complaints of the same issue with GS3 on past CyanogenMod builds (dating back to 10 and 11). I did not find a workaround so far. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stevet86:
I had that happen and I turned the volume all the way up and once I did that the volume adjusted properly. Worth a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bgorrell:
Thanks for the quick reply. I just tried that by calling myself from another phone. The in-call volume is not changing at all up or down. I went all the way up and then back down. It shows on the scale, but it's not actually changing the volume. It sounds like it is at max volume at all levels.

EDIT: I'm on the 5/11 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
WELL!! Just found a use for the links to the old threads in the OP! I seem to remember this on mastamoon's thread being addressed. On masta's thread, if you search "call volume" you'll find this addressed in the first 2 results. Take a look and see if that helps you.:good:

EDIT: Thanks to [MENTION=4652020]XdrummerXboy[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3056030]AyUaxe[/MENTION] for pushing for their inclusion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrr_r:
Too bad you didn't link to specific posts. Searching in that topic I've found a suggestion to toggle a thing on a thing but it doesn't seem to help in my case.

For me the call always starts with the maximum volume regardless of the slider position. Adjusting the slider to maximum and then to the desired volume works but it gets forgotten on the next call. This seems fixable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
When I try to send a picture message it never sends. So I tried to go to the APN settings and both change and add an APN but when I hit save it doesn't save. ...so yeah. Lol, common?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Hmm... I just ran the "call volume" search again, and the second one on that list of search results, which is 2 posts before the one you read in the thread, shared a more detailed potential fix posted by [MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION] by editing the default volume in a file. I didn't link the specific post because I was hoping to actually have people use those links. The best thing for me to have said would've been "I seem to remember people dealing with this on mastamoon's thread. Why don't you search on it from the OP?"

If you can't find it again I will relent. ;)

You on NE1 modem? Seems like this has been an issue for many though most have solved it though the settings not saving is different. Maybe the settings you're choosing are off somehow and won't save? You could search those threads in the OP to see what others have done about this. Masta had a solution and this did come up recently on amf66's thread of Invisiblek's ROM.

Adding the APN of " VZWINTERNET" and changing the APN type within it to default,dun,supl worked for me awhile back (just duplicated what was working on my cm11 at the time.) There is also, just underneath that one an unselectable tile "Verizon - internet" with APN type set to mms within it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shakes The AssClown:
In the "About" in settings how do you see what firmware you're on. I see the modem but not firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
7/03 has been great for me. If you're risk averse, be sure you have a good backup, them try a dirty flash to 7/03, just wiping caches after the flash and before boot. If it works well, you can update your backup and move on from there. If not, you can try a clean flash, then advance restore just data from your backup and see how that works. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Hmm... I tried a few different files under the 5.1.x for aosp and they all said file corrupt when trying to flash.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
This worked perfect. Thanks! Now to see how much better it is. Any suggestions for battery saving?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Cwm didn't see the files as corrupt. TWRP has signature verify on by default and that's what triggers the corrupt msg. I unticked sig verify and the dkp file I had before flashed and is running fine.

I like tierservative governor. Set minimum CPU to 54mhz. Try under volting a little. Best not to change to much at once. See how stuff works first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Setting min to 54 won't cause it to be sluggish when turning on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
But, the file I dloaded yesterday through my phone was only 93K instead of the 5.4MB or so. Also, today, dloaded other files from his page through phone and they were all 93K. Dloaded through lap and worked. This snafu is mentioned near the end of the thread and shows up from time to time. EDIT: Installed through TWRP Manager 'Install' function. Just trying it out - works good to update nightlies because you can add other zips to be flashed at the same time, like kernel, or shhh... Xposed

Also, decimalman's thread has some ideas - look through the first few posts at his comments and the thread itself has lots of ideas. Best to start at the end.

EDIT: and look at [MENTION=3056030]AyUaxe[/MENTION]'s post from yesterday.

Google Calendar issues

So... an interesting problem. I had been running OctOS 5.1.1 M1 on my phone for a few months, and the calendar occasionally was missing specific events (that never appeared). I went ahead last night and factory-wiped, upgraded to M3, and allowed Google to restore my data for the various apps that it backups up. I tried syncing the calendar using anything/everything I could find, but my phone never received any events. This morning, I factory-wiped again, and installed the CM 12.1 2015-07-08 nightly. Again, I added my accounts back in, and allowed Google to restore data (and used TB for the rest of my data). I still do not have ANY calendar events. In Settings->Accounts->Google, I have verified that it is set to sync all data (except for Google Fit), and have repeatedly forced it to sync - however, there is no option to specifically sync calendar data.

DroidWall is installed but not enabled, PrivacyGuard is enabled by default and customized for some/most of the apps I've downloaded, but I didn't touch any of the built-in apps or gapps. I'm running gapps-L-4-28-15.zip (Banks) on an SCH-I535, 3.4.108-cyanogenmod-g89ab9c2build03 kernel, modem is NE1, MF1 firmware.

Any ideas (even if it is just "go post on the Banks gapps forum")?

Thanks... MaD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
That has been a widely reported issue (I think I even had it myself once) and I just can't remember off hand what I've seen about it as possible solutions, other than new builds, but you're on the latest. Google, and look on cyanogenmod.org forums. I remember seeing it there, and numerous other places. You could flash the firmware and modem again according to the instructions in the OP (with the usual caveats) if you can't find any satisfaction.

Hmm... I have the option to sync calendars in my Google account. Do you have the accounts active/synced/checked to be shown in settings to whatever calendar app you're using? I just looked at the 3 on my phone and they all have Gmail added. Can you add it manually to the app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
-deleted-

Still, you could always flash some newer ones over what you got, like what's in the OP I think?

EDIT: You know, I've had this problem, too! I'm trying to remember how I fixed it. There is a Google Calendar Sync Adapter in other GApps Is it in the Banks you got, which are very limited? That indeed might be your problem.

EDIT: The Banks GApps have been the source of considerable problems, which makes me think I need to take them out of the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Happened to numerous users here - reflashing the firmware and modem according to the directions in the OP can fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Hey guess what? Those Banks GApps don't have the Google Calendar Sync Adapter, though I'm not exactly sure you have to have it.

UPDATE: I've just changed the link in the OP for alternative GApps to "The GApps Central" post, plus "GApps" search results on Android File Hosts. There are some new-ish [MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] GApps in the 'd2vzw ROM extras' link, which is a pretty full package (you can take some out,) where the one's on the cyanogenmod wiki are minimal but have the adapter in question.
