I have no doubt about the hacks required to get M running on our phones. As I've said before, the talent of the devs working on CM is second to none. I definitely do not have that level of coding skill, but maybe I can contribute in some other way. Let me know.

I was just reviewing nardholio's commits, I see some interesting stuff in there. I'm anxiously awaiting the next nightly build.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm really excited about these latest builds for our phone. Even though there are a lot of exciting things happening in the Android world, N preview, S7 release, Google I/O, etc. These builds of M for our S3 are down right incredible. I know all those non-M phone people are jealous that our "ancient" S3 has M and they don't!

Anyway, I'm just rambling, back to hitting refresh on the nightly build page.

I'm quite handy with yard equipment. Just don't ask me to trim your hedges.

Edit:

Can confirm my light sensor is working and auto-brightness does its thing (although there seems to be a slight delay, but beggars can't be choosers and we're lucky invisiblek and nardholio have accomplished what they have!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
Flashed the 3/11 build. Light sensor seems to be working better. Bluetooth audio appears to be totally dead. I can't get audio to play on any of my Bluetooth devices.

any progress with front camera? AICP one was starting to act up again. :-/

via Samsung Galaxy S3 (AICP 6.0.1)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
Front facing camera doesn't seem to be working on my phone with the 3/11 build. I tried with CameraZoom and the CM Camera. I feel like the battery is draining a little faster then it should with this build too, but that might just be my usage habits at the moment.

When I was looking at [MENTION=2044079]Nardholio[/MENTION]'s commits last night I saw a few things related to the ad2p bluetooth profile, so I thought maybe I'd see some better BT performance, but alas, the BT seems to be totally dead for music playing, which is really bummin' me out.

Oh man - that's hilarious!! That's gonna keep me laughing the rest of the day.

EDIT: I just noticed the bear can on the tree stump. Damn this is funny!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
Turns out I can't keep a stable data connection with the 3/11 build. I lose LTE/3G and it never returns. I flashed back to 3/9 for the time being. Anyone else having this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fenix2002:
I don't have LTE because I'm on the Straight Talk variant, but I did notice a lot of switching between 3G/1x and it would drop a lot. I thought it was just me. Could still be a coincidence though.

I'm having an issue after clean flashing the latest cm13 build. When I boot up the device after flashing the first time, I do not get LTE connectivity. I cannot call or edit APN settings but I can send SMS messages. When I reboot I get a 'No SIM' error and the 'phone' process repeatedly crashes. I have tried reflashing several times, with and without GAPPs, toggling airplane mode, changing the network mode and roaming mode, flashing the recommended modem in the OP, flashing to a ROM running KitKat (everything works fine, data, calls, sms) and wiping everything and flashing CM again. I'm running the latest build of TWRP. No luck. Any ideas? In the meantime I'm going to try the 3/9 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
Andy give 3/9 a try, should work fine while this connectivity issue is worked on. I basically experienced the same issues you did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Can confirm, no LTE (or any data for that matter on 3-11 nightly. Not a huge deal for me right now, I'll wait it out through the weekend flashing along the way, haha

Also can confirm ambient light sensor is working!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
If you come across a build that resolves this please let us know so we can try. I'm going to wait on the 3/9 build for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] charliepop:
I have 3g data back now on 3/12 build. I have the straight talk variant so I can't say for 4g. I had no data on 3/11.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fenix2002:
Data working on straight talk again, auto-brightness working, but now auto-rotate is on the fritz again. And I still haven't figured out a GOOD solution to Gmail not syncing (the issue is on Google's end, not ours.. Has to do with Doze and how they handle certain notifications in Marshmallow being passed through their servers, or something like that.)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
Data seems to be working on Verizon too. I've been using LTE for about an hour. Light sensor seems to be working too. I was able to take one low light picture with the front facing cam but that was it. Kept crashing after that. Haven't checked Bluetooth stuff yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fenix2002:
Not sure what changed or what happened, but camera fell flat on its face these last few builds. I can barely get a low light shot with the front camera. I'm even more curious what AICP did to get the front cam working better a few builds ago. It was (mostly) working, even outdoors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
EDIT:

>>>>>>>Just got 3/12 booted - had to select Cellular Network Settings>APN>3dots>reset to default to get my APNs back - there was nothing there. Still no LTE until I noticed Preferred Network Type was 'Global.' changed it to 'CDMA+LTE/EvDo' and it started to work. <<<<<<

Oooh! Haven't seen this in awhile. (Lucky you! ;) ) Your sig says you've got a Nexus, but your are flashing a d2vzw or Straight Talk variant, right?

Also, pull your battery and boot it again - I frequently get some apps, including system apps, that haven't optimized for some reason - and they won't work if they aren't, but this usually kicks off an optimization of the rest of them. And, see my note at the top..

If the 3/9 build doesn't solve your problem you can flash the ML1 modem. (There's already a 3/12 out so must've needed some fixes. I just flashed - waiting to finish booting.) There is a ML1 modem in the CM12.1 "d2vzw ROM Extras" link in the OP on that thread, as well as some other notes about this issue. If you flashed that zip in the OP of this thread then you've got the right firmware. Also, according to the instructions for most of the GApps packages you might want to wipe 'system' in TWRP before you flash anything as well, then wipe dalvik/cache after all flashing (?? Don't know why but that's what they say in TK and Open GApps.) It's been so long since this has been an issue that I'm trying to remember what else could be done? Obviously, there is something else if none of this other stuff works - your calling and

Man! I thought mine was the only problem with screen rotation (though only on AICP.) My Gmail seems to be syncing normally but I don't use Doze (where is that damn setting?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I had to do basically the same thing to get data, except I didn't need to change out of global. Even then, it took a while to get it to figure things out and have LTE, which makes me wonder if resetting APNs was even really necessary, haha.

I'll try to report back on BT as soon as I drive my car next.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fenix2002:
Not sure what causes the issue with screen rotation. Some builds I never even have a hiccup with it, and some I have to reboot to get it to work. Idk.

How do you not use Doze? It's automatically enabled, and I've seen ways to make it more aggressive, but not any ways to turn it off completely. I know you can make exceptions for individual apps, but that hasn't seemed to really help.

Is anyone else having issues with GPS recently? Mine seems to come and go every other build or so. Haha. Yesterday I got a fix in 10s, today it wouldn't even after 5mins, and that was after resetting AGPS.

EDIT: and the Global setting plays merry hob with my data. But seeing as I don't have LTE, setting it to that doesn't help because it will try to connect to that (although it can't..), and it'll default to 1x. If you dial *#*#4636#*#*, it will let you change it to more precise settings.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andyc2d:
Data is working on 3/9, thanks for the advice. And yeah it's on my old VZW S3. Might give 3/12 a shot too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
I never realized how annoying it would be to not have auto rotate! ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Roger W:
I don't think it's a build-related problem. I recently did have essentially no signal (using GPS Status Pro which updates AGPS and shows individual satellite signals), then a day or two (and a reboot?) later it was back to normal, no new build. But yes, it's not just your device having occasional problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fenix2002:
Thanks for the feedback. I know the S3 has always had GPS issues. Mine comes and goes, for sure. Which is annoying, because I do use my phone as a navigation GPS and occasionally for hiking, biking, or running. :/

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
I second this. S3 has always been flakey with GPS. One day it can be great, the next total crap. I have seen a little better consistency with these CM13 builds as compared to Cm12 though. Of course I always open the phone up and tighten the case screws and tell myself that will fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fenix2002:
[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] oh how many times I've done that exact same thing. I've tried everything from that, to flashing the stock backup I have and then flashing back to whatever ROM I'm on.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Roger W:
Hehe, I'd originally added something about dubious case screw fixes but figured it might be too obscure. Plus, we shouldn't debate religion here ;)

Have you tried a pineapple?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
Roger, I think the people left here commenting are mostly S3 OG's, I would bet everyone of us get the case screw reference.

That xkcd comic was hilarious, it's so true.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beckx020:
Finally got 3/12 build installed. I'm excited we will have CM13 on the I535!

I don't mean to repeat, but will put down the things I found anyway.

1. front camera fc first time I tried to use it. Then it worked fine for many pics, as did the rear camera. I did change the resolution to lower quality. I don't know if that made a difference or not.

2. bluetooth. :crying: With music Pandora or Amazon, if I turn on bluetooth headset, the apps break and won't download or play anymore music until I reboot the phone. Pandora is in a loop and uses mass CPU. Not sure what Amazon is doing. They both play fine until I try bluetooth. I haven't tried in the car yet. Will wait until an update to bluetooth. Don't want car to go in a loop.

3. LTE is weird. If it once gets a lock on it and I continue to use it, it's fine. But otherwise seems like I'm wandering with it going in and out. Seems like sometimes rebooting helps to get the first lock, but like I said, if I stop using it, it wanders. Doing a speed test is great for where I am.

4. The signal for everything is weaker than when on cleanrom 8.2 on this phone and way less than my other stock S3. LTE, CDMA, and wifi are all weaker according to doing things and bars. Seems about 3-4db worse in the about phone. And I did flash the stack and modem files.

5. I really have to use a foreign app to set the lock screen wallpaper???? Or am I missing how to do this?

6. Titanium Backup. Well, it was a stinker to get it to do a complete backup. It would just "go away" without an error or complete message in notifications. After about 4 times, it got everything done and did an overnight update fine. I am doing backup to the external SD card.

7. I am using that little program for SELinx. I can't deal with the popups over and over. That seemed to fix a lot of things for me. Far less fc on stuff. Ha! And I got busybox installed too. I can understand CM wants to leave the security level alone, but can it at least make it so you can check the "remember" box?

8. yeah, no screen rotation.

Otherwise I'm very impressed! Since bluetooth doesn't work for me I can't use as dd. But it's close! :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Roger W:
Wow, 3/14 build changelog shows a huge list of crypto fixes, I wonder if this is the build that will fix the "no SIM" error on encrypting. I've been having bad luck with my nandroid restores lately (maybe because I'm using the Online Nandroid app rather than TWRP directly) but I'll hold off trying encrypting for a couple days to see if someone here who doesn't use this device as a dd and doesn't mind wiping is able to test it out first. If not, I'll take the plunge.

Thanks to the device maintainers and whoever is getting these changes in!

ETA: no improvement in front camera or bluetooth media profiles. When I unbind media in the paring screen, the phone profile continues to work. Also, a belated thanks for a fix maybe 5 months ago for the years-old GPS reboot problems, it's been perfect ever since.

Edit 2: Warning - just noticed that updating to 3/14 from 3/11 broke Exchange account linking in the stock email / calendar / contacts apps. If you use Exchange you probably want to hold off until that's sorted out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fenix2002:
Noticed the huge list of stuff as well. Curious what/how it all affects, and if it fixes stuff.

3/14 build -- all the issues Roger W noted, plus clock app not working correctly for me. Crashes when an alarm goes off (thankfully, the alarm still sounds or I'd be screwed lol *nervous laughter*)..

Front camera goes completely AWOL on me. I had to do a battery pull after trying it.

Edit: *personal gripe* why do we have to optimize apps between every build? It's really not necessary between builds of the same ROM and android version, and I would typically skip it. CM automatically wipes and causes optimization on flash, but ROMs like AICP don't?

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
Thanks to all for the status update on the "pi day" build of CM13. I think I'll pass on that build for now and see what the next ones bring, hopefully some fixes!

As for Fenix's comment about the app optimization. I didn't know any rom had the ability to skip that step that's very interesting. I wonder how stability is affected if that step is skipped. On a side note, one of the new features of Android N is supposed to be a reduced or eliminated need for that step at all!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fenix2002:
First, happy Pi day!

I hadn't heard that about N, but that would be cool.

I'm not sure *exactly* what everything is, does, means, so if anyone notices I'm completely wrong or could help explain, please jump in. When it does the "optimization", it's odexing the apps, essentially building a little piece that kinda "preloads" part of the app. Supposed to help apps boot faster, perform better. But because the app itself isn't going to change between builds, it shouldn't be necessary to rebuild the odex file each time. Only when going between major android versions. The exception would be any apps you flash, like GApps, and essential system apps I guess.

wifi battery drain

Anyone else noticing a lot of battery drain due to WIFI being on? I am trying to do a few tests to see what might be the issue. It's at the top of my usage list. Normally I don't have wifi signal at work, but I have always left wifi on (on CM12.1) and never noticed any battery issues. Now I am seeing that it's at the top of the battery use list. Last night I switched the Advanced wifi setting "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" from "Always" to "Only when plugged in". Seeing today what this does. Next I'll change it to Never and see what happens. I did some searching on Google and it seems this issue has popped up before on various versions of CM on this phone and others, so maybe it's just something I never experienced.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fenix2002:
I'm having much worse battery drain in the last few builds (maybe since 3/5ish?). WiFi is usually near the top, which hadn't happened before. Talking on the phone for 10-15 minutes can show up to like 15%. Screen is killing me, even on lowest brightness, it's usually waaaayyy higher on the usage than it used to be.

But yes, WiFi seems to be putting a drain on things for me too.

Edit: to give you an idea, I went from 100% at 1:15 to 75% now at 2:30 with only moderate usage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
Just as an aside, on the 3/12 nightly, even though I can't get music to play over Bluetooth, I was able to use my Bluetooth headset to make a phone call without any problem. So it seems the a2dp audio profile is where the problem is. I'm sure there's a dev reading this going, duh! Thanks Captain Obvious. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
3-13 build here

14% for wifi, whereas screen is 7%, Spotify 5%, etc...

Good catch!

Edit: also of note, couldn't get BT to play a thing through my car. Spotify said it was playing, but no sound came through. I had to bust out my AUX cord! Haha. Pretty sure this was mentioned already though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
I live and die by my aux cord tape adapter! No aux input on my car. I couldn't function without my tunes during my commute.

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

Fenix, not sure if you have tried Google's other email app called Google Inbox. Works similarly to Gmail. I wonder if you'd have better luck with your mail syncing. I'm trying it out just to see as I've noticed a little slowness with Gmail (or maybe it's sympathy pains cause you're having a problem, I donno).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fenix2002:
I'm the same way, always gotta have tunes. But where I'm at, it's country music, NASCAR/sports, or silence on the radio. After being aggravated with the tape adapter, I broke down a few years back and installed a cheap stereo with aux input and CD player!

Good suggestion, but I really don't care for Inbox. I tried it briefly on Lollipop. So far the only fix I've found for not getting emails on time is a third party app. Outlook and BlueMail work well. I'm using BlueMail now.

I have it and Gmail set up, and if I'm not actively using my phone, I can get an email immediately with BlueMail and it's on average 4 hours before Gmail notifies me, even if I use my phone in that 4 hour-ish time frame. :(

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
Wow that is an annoyingly long delay. I use an app called AquaMail for all my main email accounts, great program if your interested in yet another choice.

Well, you mentioned country music and the radio........ never mind, that kind of conversation would turn into an Android vs ios flame war ????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fenix2002:
I'll check it out! Thanks for the suggestion.

And yeah, we don't want to have to call the fire department. It's not that I dislike country music, btw, but it's not my first choice and I do like to have options. As far as iOS goes, I don't hate it.. I just don't love it. Lol. Pros/cons just like android, imo.

Edit:

In the changelog for the next nightly, I see what should be a fix for the clock crash I had on 3/14, and maybe an improvement to the camera. Also see something about Exchange. Should be interesting to see how this pans out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
Just a little OT but I've been lurking on the S7/S7e ROM forums, it's really buzzing over there, but man oh man it's getting a little heated with all those personalities!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
Hey wadhwaa, welcome to the forum. Few questions. What nightly did you install? Are you upgrading from CM12.1 or was this a first time install? Did you factory wipe your phone before you installed? What gapps version did you install? Is your phone a Verizon or Straight Talk?

Sorry for all the questions, but it'll really help us try to point you in the right direction. Also, I'm sure you have read thru this whole thread (you did right?), as good as this build seems to be, it's still quite beta and it changes everyday. In any case, let us know the answers to those questions and we'll see what we can do.

Your best bet is to be on the MF1 bootstack/NE1 modem combo. Here's a flashable zip (this only needs to be done once): http://www.invisiblek.org/firmware/d..._NE1_modem.zip
