I have the same problem with my wifi at home sometimes.

I have a fritz wifi repeater wich should make these problems...

It works like a wifi bridge and takes the ssid from the router.

Now every client should connect to the wifi point wich is nearest.

This could be the point wich makes the phone freeze...

It could have problems while switching between the two acess points with same ssid...

I'm sure you're having also many wifi points at work...

I already maked a full report of this with logcat months ago.

Since this there are no changes.

I've sent a private message to the developer, nothing has chagned....

This all would be much easier, if this thread had a bug report function like on many other threads...

Don't know why this is not enabled on this thread.

It's called "nightly" and not "everything works just fine" so bug reports are important to fix them in newer nightly updates.

Its hard to read all the posts in this thread, but then why is there no bug report funtion enabled in this thread??

same problem with me... so, if u already use boeffla kernal, but not fix, how to fiz this problem.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] andrescm:
I don't know how much else we can do. I've tried different settings, governors, enabling/disabling 3G, GPS, etc. while streaming, keeping the screen on... personally I think this is somehow related to power issues, maybe it's tuned to reduce battery consumption and that's why it's so weak. I can however see there's been an improvement since July nightlies so the devs have advanced some squares in the right direction.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mrkblo:
I really think it must be hardware related. Some kind of incompatibility between your phone and your devices, maybe. Mine works just fine, it always has since may builds. Sometimes I'm even impressed with the range.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] andrescm:
I'd think the same if not for the fact that switching to CM12.1, CM11 or stock ROM solves the problem. I don't discard hardware compatibility issues completely, but in my case I know it's software related.

For me HW+ is not working no matter what. When selected I have always a black screen.

Can the s3 support hd 60fps videos?

Yesterday is saw, that the youtube app on my htc one mini 2 supports to display 720p in 60fps with the newest app version and cm13.

Its a qualcomm snapdragon 400 based device with adreno 305 gpu.

Its newer hardware.

The galaxy s3 seems to have no option to watch videos with 60fps.

Is this only for the youtube app, or can the galaxy system widt only play videos at normal fps?

And is this currently a software issue or a hardware thing?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] hiyamudin:
ok thanks... can i install using recovery cm13? becoz i not use Team Win recovery.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:
To install any zip you need a recovery wich can install zips.

The CM Recovery *can not* do this.

Download TWRP or CWM for your device and flash it using apps like flashify or rashr.

I´m using the CWM based CyanogenMod Recovery from the last CM11 snapshot.

You can find the image on the cm download page!

When using USB file transfer mode (MTP), some files aren't showing on the computer. For example, the DCIM folder shows completely empty. Is this familiar to anyone? My phone is running the July 30 nightly.

e: I should maybe add that I tried clearing the caches before posting this.

Also, I see there is a snapshot available. Is it okay to dirty flash over a nightly?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] RevolutionBolt:
Try disconnect your phone and reconnect it again. Play with it. Sometime, I have connected my phone to the PC then it showed nothing on both storages of sd card and internal storage. After that, I have to disconnect it and reconnect it again and it work normally. Don't worry about that little problem.

Maybe it's safe for you to dirty flash. But if you encountered some errors there, just revert to your old July 30 nightly build with dirty flash. Before you gonna to install latest nightly, recommended to backup your current rom.

BTW, I'm running on latest snapshot 20082016. I have no error on latest snapshot for this moment. Just installed yesterday. So far so good.

Bolt.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] terho:
Oh, I have played with it. DCIM shows consistently empty. This isn't the first time it's happened either, a few months ago I was backing up/restoring my Whatsapp databases, and it was showing nonexistent (old, removed) files on the computer. Back then it was almost as if it was showing a cached directory listing that wasn't updating for some reason.

i already download the TWRP.img, but when i go to CM recovery mode, it cannot detect that img file... so how to change cm recovery to TWRP?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JohnSmit268:
Use flashify app.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:
I already said, use a app.

There are two good apps on the playstore:

Rashr and Flashify.

Both of them can flash imgs on a running android device.

Rashr can also download a recovery for you.

Just go to the playstore and install onr of them.

Then you can select your twrp img on your phone storage.

The next into-recovery-reboot will you show the new recovery system.

...and a last, important thing:

Go to the developer settings and disable "update cm recovery" if it is enabled. Otherwise you will get the boring cm recovery everytime back on a system update.

I also have this problem.

It looks like it's bot device specific. I renamed the missing file on my phone. One second later it was displaying on my computer.

I like the status bar you must try this.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] terho:
Yes, renaming and faffing around with the filenames may get them to show up, but when I'm copying whole folders I still can't be sure if I got every file.

So as a workaround I made zip files of the folders on the phone, then copied the zips over.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Rexxozaur:
Hey.

I had a late May nightly version installed and it was running smoothly. On 31st of August I updated it to the latest version available (30th or 31st, I don't remember). Ever since, I've been facing random reboots and screen freezes very frequently. I have lived with them and been updating almost daily hoping this will come to an end for 17 days, but I just got bored. I don't think I needed to do a clean flash because I have updated before a 3-month newer version and it worked fine. Have there been any modifications since May that require me do a clean install and not just simply update? I admit I haven't read the changelogs. Or what else could be the issue?

Would it be a good idea flashing a nightly from May (downgrading)? Or clean flashing should do it and my phone will be able to run these recent versions without these issues? What do you suggest?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JohnSmit268:
Take a full backup and try a clean flash. You won't lose anything. If it didn't run smoothly after the clean flash then downgrade it and live with it cause there were no major changes made in this time period. Can I ask you a favor? If you have that old build that ran smoothly, can you please upload it somewhere? Thanks. If you simply can't, then nevermind what I asked for.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Rexxozaur:
No, I'm sorry. It's a bad habit of mine to delete everything I don't currently need. Most of the time I end up needing them again, but c'est la vie. Sorry again.

I don't care so much about what I have in my phone right now. If there was a backup method to save my phone settings then it would be great. I'll give it a try, thanks!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JohnSmit268:
Unfortunately I have the exact bad habit of yours :/.

What do you mean by backing up phone's settings? Nandroid backup is not enough for you?!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Rexxozaur:
Believe me or not, I didn't know exactly what a nandroid backup is until a few seconds ago after I read about it. :D

Now I'm pretty sure I'll perform one right now.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Xkirnel99:
Just go to your recovery, TWRP for example.

Go to backup and restore.

Select backup, select all the action you will see (data, system, boot...)

That is the nandroid backup

Btw guys: i can't get around the camera problem even i restart the camera with app of restar cam, and even with mediaserver killer app, and even with disabling and install the CM 11 camera, that problem it make me feel angry and want to crash this phone hh
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JohnSmit268:
I have the same problem. Only reboot solved it. I feel that we're going backward. Today I had some wifi disconnects after updating to 16 sep build!!! Wifi problems were gone for me months ago. And again it is happening. I wish I didn't delete that smooth and bugless builds that I had. Hopefully this backward processing gets a change at CM13 nightlies or at CM14. Will try new builds to see if anything changed in the meanwhile. And if any of you guys know how to use CM bug report system (JIRA) then go on and submit a bug report. Maybe [MENTION=5405215]forkbomb444[/MENTION] is so busy and can't check this xda thread anymore.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Xkirnel99:
I'm in latest snapshot build 20/08 and i don't have wifi problem, just camera, yeah i know reboot it solved the prob but it little hard to this when you need to capture photo in some moment, i try to use CM bug report before come here but it won't to upload, it gives me an error about CM servers.

This is a bug report about it and can't find anyway to send it to the developer

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Rexxozaur:
I just finished cleanly flashing the last nightly version (it took me too long I know). The issues are still here. Though, just by mistake I think I now know what carries them. After I flashed the ROM, I realised I had downloaded the wrong gapps package so I rebooted the phone (without gapps) to download the good one. It was running smoothly again. I was only half happy because I kind of knew what was about to follow. Downloaded the gapps, wiped and installed ROM again, and then the gapps, then rebooted, then everything back to ****. :D

How can I overcome this, I don't have a May/June nightly version and I don't think there can be life without gapps. :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] notstpaul:
Download Mediaserver Killer from the Play Store. It's much quicker to run that than rebooting.

EDIT: App name corrected ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rvwradar:
Same "can't connect to camera"-problem here: very annoying bug!

Hopefully we can find a way to 100%-reproduce the appeareance of this bug, in order to make debugging more simple.

p.s.: I tried several camera-apps, yet the problem persists.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Xkirnel99:
I was used this app you suggested me to use it, with another app named "restart camera" and no one of them can help me, just reboot that it can solved it
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:
Look into my signature and use the old cm11 camera.

It looks better (fullscreen preview) and works without this camera bug.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Xkirnel99:
Yes, i installed u'r CM11 camera and when the bug it come, all the camera app it get me failed to connect to the camera.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] CodeFinder:
I've also used your old CM11 camera apk but it didn't work. I needed to use Mediaserver Killer in the same way as with the current CM13 camera.

I am using SNAPSHOT 0820 with Boeffla kernel v6 since several weeks. Except for only very few reboots (mostly due to heavy load) and the camera bug, I am quite happy with it.

Does anybody know if there's still support / active development for our device (by [MENTION=5405215]forkbomb444[/MENTION] or someone else) and if there's hope for an updated snapshot? Thanks!

Update: There *is* active development by forkbomb444 aka fourkbomb aka Simon Shields (as of 09/13/16). Great, thank you very much! Successfully prevents me from buying a new device. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JohnSmit268:
Check CM Gerrit for the commits that are owned by simon shields. You'll find out that he is working hard on our device.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:
Try the newest nightly.

The camera works for me fine.

And most of the time the cm11 apk fixed the "can´t connect to camera" bug.

I´m still using it.

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

that´s mysterious.

It´s working for me on every single nightly, i had installed.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ThunderBolt_BR:
About the camera issues, those who have them are running the latest camera firmware available for your device?

I have installed CM in more than 5 i9300 units, all of them after updating the camera driver and do not had any camera issue ever since.

You must be running a TouchWiz based ROM.

It doesn't need to be on the stock recovery, just flash in TWRP any ROM based on stock Samsung.

I've tested a nightly some days ago and I was having problems with WiFi: my device freezed sometimes when connecting to a network, so I restored my backup of SNAPSHOT 0820. Is it solved in the newest nightly? Cannot find any commit addressing such issue.

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

That sounds VERY interesting, thanks for pointing that out! Just for my understanding: isn't the camera's firmware integrated in / part of the OS, that is CM13?

Edit: I tested this but, unfortunately, it hasn't changed anything: camera app is still buggy. Indeed my firmware versions differed as described in the post you are referring to. After the update (on JB 4.1.2 stock), the versions are the same. I've then restored my CM13 backup (w/ all partitions) but the error still happens.

BTW: I can reproduce the bug quite easily by repetitively launching the camera app while immediately pressing the 'back' button several times during the start. After some tries, I get the well known 'cannot connect to camera' error. Annoying.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ThunderBolt_BR:
Pity that it didn't solve your problem. As far as I know, the camera firmware stays in another partition and is not affected by CM.

All i9300 units that I installed CM have the ZD*** camera firmware. What was yours?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:

Welp... First comment on the post says...

Be carefull!

Gt-i9300 could come with 2 different camera hardware: one from sony and one from samsung

It is the same thing with the camera firmwares:ZD and GD

Mine has GDFF03

For those who have GD firmwares: do not use files in first post!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] CodeFinder:
Oh ... missed that. :D

Anyway, nothing has changed and my camera still works 'sometimes'. (It even worked all the time on stock so it must be CM/software related.)

i already install the boeffla kernal... but still cannot solve bluetooth range problem... and one more thing how to setup boeffla kernal...which app suitable to install the gov setup?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:
The *stock* camera app does still suck, cm11 camera works pretty nice.

Since august the stock camera has big problems.

The point is, while closing the app with back button, the app is funny and freezes.

If this where not like this, it should work without a problem...

I will continue using the old cm11 camera with the nicer fullscreen preview of photos/videos.

There is one thing I will try now:

Replacing the stock camera with another .apk from my other phone running cm13.

If this is working, the developer should know what is to do.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Rene2322:
I had the same problem and solved it a few minutes ago.

Take a look in the efs-folder. In my case the file nv_data.bin had wrong file permissions (must have radio : radio, and had root : nothing).

I solved it by installing EFS professional on my computer (from this forum) and used the option fix nv_data permissions.

After reboot everything worked.

Maybe this works for you too. Good luck.

A want to leave a big thanx to the developers!

The old S3 became my daily phone now since a few month. Currently I am using 13.0-20160908 without major problems.

I had nearly no problems with all of the nightlies from august and september.

The camera always works, I have generally no freezes, no reboots. The phone is fast, snappy and my battery lasts for about 20 hours at normal usage.

The only problem left for me ist that sometimes switching between WIFI and mobile connection does not work properly. But triggering flight mode solves the problem.

I love this ROM for my S3. Thanx!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kajoe:
Install Stock ROM i9300 and check if IMEI is visible again. I allways go back to stockrom, before I flash a new rom. It is the best method.

I just installed CM13 from today along with pico gapps from today (0920) and the google app wizard would not ask me to configure a google account. Didn't find the root cause, nothing in logs. Neither from add account where google account was simply not present.

Had to revert to gapps 0917. Google play services was FCing but this is a know issue resolved by
