CM10 Official 8/18 NFC Issue - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I have the official CM10 nightly from 08/18 and I'm still having issues with enabling NFC. When I check the box to enable it, it simply becomes disable - with the check marked. I've tried the office Samsung TecTile app to read some new TecTiles I have as well as another app from the market call NFC ReTag and neither acknowledge any tags.
NFC is supposed to fixed in this build, and I even receive MMS just fine - at least using Go SMS.- which is not supposed to be fixed, right? I did do a full wipe before installing the nightly and everything else is running perfectly, so I'm wonder if anyone else having this problem with NFC.
Also, I've tried with both the original Samsung battery in my girlfriend phone of same model and a QCell battery with NFC capability in my phone with the same results.

It is a known bug that will get fixed in the future.

Oh, I was under the impression that MMS workaround needed applied every reboot and that NFC was working on the on the 8/18 nightly. Thanks.

Yea every one still having problems maybe tomorrow night!!! I hope I'm ready to play with Google wallet.

Hi guys .. I'm small geek of android .. I got many things crazy with android .. The most amazing one .. Is !!!
I try to use my Xperia P smart tags with my BB bold 9900 and amazingly it appears good .. The astonishing thing is what I figure out that BB support the feature of tracking smart tags where ever it was ..
But android is not .. Or I still can't find it .. If we can develop android to that feature it would be UNBELIEVABLE ... Or can we crack BB map app to get it for android ?

camera closes

My camera does not start up. goes to a black screen and then back to my home screen.
Any ideas on the cause of this? I am running the leaked gingerbread OTA
It just started doing this been running the leaked OTA for a week with no problems
Don't Thank me.. Thank mzimand
FIX:
1. Go to Settings and select Date & Time.
2. Un check Automatic
3. Change the time to 08-01-11
4. Go and open your camera (it should work now)
5. Now you can go back and check Automatic in the Time & Date Setting
edit:
works
try it again.. it worked for me and a buddy.. you need to to change the date on your phone to august 1st. then try using the camera a couple of times..
once it works, just click it back to automatic for your date and time
atlmatt said:
that did not work
i tried another camera app and it said it could not connect to camera
I tried a phone reset and the same problem
also getting a application foceclose google.talk. or something like that

Try the date change again. Leave it for five. Open the camera and it should work. I tried my camera and it did not work then tried the camcorder and that worked then back to the camera and that worked. Then set date back to auto.
What causes this? Is it preventable?
I loaded the leaked GB on both mine and a friends phone same time and I am the only on that has gotten the issue, or is it with the phone?
awesome, worked great. had to try it a coupe of times.

This is an issue that came up last night across many custom ROMs and stock GB RUUs. This LINK is a download for a flashable .zip that will fix the problem permanently.

No. It was affecting any ROM using the gapps with Gtalk video. Some weirdness to do with a file that uses camera mainly, but also tied into Gtalk's video feature. The fix is actually for the camera, but it gets gtalk going again.
HTC timebombed a lib used by the camera and it expired 8/31. It was probably an accident and not malicious in nature. The lib (and several camera libs) were dated back from May. Even the 2.01 alpha had newer camera libs.
As you folks have already noticed, 2.11.605.0 will NOT be the final release version, LOL.
Can any one come up with a permanent fix for the camera, because it seems to reset when the phone is powered on?

This would have explained why Uberbamf wouldn't let me use the camera then. Thx for posting the fix.
Yesterday, my gtalk app stopped working, my camera stopped working, now my phone is going crazy. Im on uber bamf and its just crazy. re-flashing isnt working or anything.
I had this problem after flashing a custom lockring. So I formatted and restored nandriod and still had the same problem. My issue was gtalk instantly fc at startup, didn't even notice the camera didn't work until I read up on this problem. I blamed it on the new cwm update that just hit yesterday because some people were having issues with it too. But apparently that wasn't the case.

tnx for sharing. I have had that issue before with my previous tab10.1 P7500. messenger works with video calling but image is sideways, but if you flip your cam the return it back using the front cam, your image will appear normal. ( i mean vertical, not sideways anymore). That is why I am really disappointed for replacing the old tab 10.1 with the new tab 2, even skype's video calling wont work. at least the OG tab video calling works. I just wish they could release a new plugin or fix soon for the video calling coz its making samsung's reputation really bad....

Yah, it looks like they released the device without testing for compatible apps for video and voice calling. even skype's video calling doesnt work either. they should start fixing these issues coz its already been months since the release of tab 2 and if this would take longer before it could be fixed, it could really give samsung a really bad impression to consumers. besides, they just won their case over apple, right?
salungat....can you tell me where you got the information from?
My customer has a custom app that uses the camera to take pictures and insert the pictures into a form for reporting purposes (home inspection app).
He is having all kinds of issues with the camera. Today, SAMSUNG support told him that, the "tablet was not designed to be used by an app that controls the camera".
This is complete BS in my opinion but I need more info to fire back at their support.
Thanks...

The bluetooth problem:

Could anyone who understands the inner workings of the CM and chopsticks crews shed some light on the bug resolution process.
I'm particularly interested in the bluetooth audio problems when making or receiving a call on the cars BT system. Seems it's wide spread and discussed on many threads but I've never seen it mentioned outside of forums like XDA and other Android user forums. Do you think it is on their list? Can someone post a link to a bug reporting site. I have bugzilla but I think thats for the AOKP roms .

If there was a fix it would be widely known already. From what roger_n posted in the Paranoid Android thread (I think it was that one) the issue is in audio routing, not BT audio, and needs to be fixed by a core CM dev, as it's not skyrocket specific.

So the fact that it's been around so long is because these core CM devs are super busy..or are they even aware there IS a problem, or is it just low pri.
I can't speak for the devs, but I do believe it's a time issue, not that they don't know about it.

Well here's hoping they find the solution soon. I'm a little concerned about a work-around I've heard about where you turn off the blue tooth and then back on after the initial connection....Very dangerous while driving. And costly too. Here In B.C. there's a $175 fine for fiddling with your cell phone while driving.

Most likely a low priority, as there is not a Samsung released JB rom for the Skyrocket.

I know it's lame, but what I ended up having to do in this issue was to even before I moved out of park I would disconnect and reconnect my BT. Often times though I found that just switching off the car radio (BT enabled Parrot Rythm-N-Blu), remove the face plate, count to 15 and put the face plate back on then turn the radio back on would do the "trick."

Recommend app for android stick.

I recently got the mk908ii, so far it's been working out great. Very fast. Wi-Fi is very strong, but the antenna seems kind of fragile(accidentally turned it wrong way and heard a crack). Does anyone have recommendations for any new apps I can use?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
I have had a mk808b for about a week now, these are my must have apps:
-full!screen: for hiding the navigation bar that was there even on "fullscreen" movie playback. I set a pie control for my right upper display corner that now totally replaces the navigation bar. This is actually the most usefull app i found.
-External Keyboard Helper: for starting apps directly with the push of a button on my wireless keyboard (Measy RC12)
-Screen Adjuster: In case you don't want to change the brightness/color settings of your tv
-XBMC (v 13 gotham alpha 1 works quite well for me, if you can live without hardware decoding, the stable v 12.2 (frodo) build would propably be better) + Plugins (1channel, icefilms etc...)
-MX Player: probably better playback of HD content than XBMC

Don't use any of the specific alpha builds, because now ALL nightlies have libsf! I would first try the latest nightly and go from there!

Hmm, my MK908 isn't actually plugged in right now and I have to go do some work. But just try the LATEST android nightly build and if that doesn't work ask again and I'll hook up and tell you which build I'm actually using.

OK, I just hooked up my MK908... still waiting for my tronsmart airmouse from geekbuying so I haven't been messing with it recently
WTF, why isn't full!screen working? XBMC isn't starting fullscreen for no apparent reason. And I am getting errors I've never seen before from XBMC about "Failed to start commoncache"
Looks like my MK908 has developed some kind of problem while I wasn't using it. That's a real mark of quality hardware.
I don't think I will ever buy another android stick PC at this rate. So far I have tried two rikos and one tronsmart and they are all crap. It's too bad nobody mades any Android PC which is not crap. I guess there's some that are kind of OK but they are more expensive than an AMD nettop! WTF. This is why my MK908 wasn't even plugged in. I sure hope Pi****u supports this chip soon.
edit: that's PIC UNT U. Word filters are for children.
Well, I'm not going to be able to give you any useful information, you probably already know that Google is unresponsive to bugs and that XBMC doesn't run very well on Android. I guess I will have to re-flash my MK908. Maybe I'll try just restoring a backup.

That's exactly the porblem i have with all XBMC builds after Alpha 1 (besides the non-functional youtube addon, but i guess thats related because youtube needs the commoncache plugin). But all other plugins work fine, so its not that bad .
If you decide to reflash let me know if it resolves the issue for you.

Help! Google Play Newsstand and Google Now crash after launching

I'm running stock Android 4.1.2 on an international version GT-P6800 (purchased in Thailand).
I've been subscribed to a magazine for months now. But with today's replacement (Play Magazines => Play Newsstand), the Google Play Newsstand app crashes immediately on launch. Same story for the updated version of Google Now (released over the past week).
Due to increased sluggishness of my tablet, I decided to backup data and do a factory reset. So all these problems are occurring on a "fresh" OS install. (So no significant app caches, etc.)
Newsstand and Google Now/Search are both working fine on my ASUS tablet, so these problems are definitely specific to this hardware/OS version.
Is anyone else having either or both problems? Ideas?
P.S. This is really making me more inclined to finally root my tablet and install the most stable custom ROM available.
Just tried Newsstand an I too am having issues, also been having issues with Google Now . I started a thread regarding that issue as well. Really getting frustrated

The problem is almost certainly Samsung 's work in modifying Android for our tablet model. There are no widespread complaints for other Android devices. And as I said when you started this thread: once I rooted the tablet and flashed Cyanogenmod, the problem became a far-off memory. That's the beauty of the Android community. My tablet can do more things now. And I don't have to think about whether Samsung cares about me.
What did I learn?That if I wanted a 7"tablet today, I would get the Nexus 7. I got a Nexus 4 phone when Google dropped the price. I rooted it in 15 minutes. And Kit Kat is available for it already.

How can you recommend using Cyonogen when all of these issues are present?
1. Inherent from CM10.1
  - Wifi-tethering, hdmi, Incall screen landscape, etc.
2. Bluetooh not working
  - Need to see if the mojo in cm10.1 works here. (Lots of works...)
3. Camera not working yet
  - Both camera can preview, Autio focus is OK for back camera. Can't save the photo...
   (Seems bugs in framework_av cause it)
4. The default orientation of lockscreen is lanscape.
  - not respond to rotation lock. Workaround: set only one angle in settings and enable rotation.
5. Screen rotation or rapid refresh cause transient noices. (Seems the new opengl issue, will try the new r3p2 mali driver later)
Unless you have a different version where everything works as it should.
Don't get mad, just pointing out the flaws of your suggestion.
Also my wife's Note II does not have this issue so I don't think it is a Samsung issue, then again I might be wrong.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
First off, I want you to know I am not angry; I am just realistic. Samsung released the GT-P6800 as part of their typical tactic: they offered tablets in every possible size:
7", 7.7 with AMOLED, 8.9, 10.1.
Then they waited to see what the market wanted. Our model's AMOLED display was an expensive (but excellent) component. When the smoke cleared, Samsung followed the market's signal. They never released a follow-up and decided on the Note series as a better product family. We are never going to get Samsung's attention. Between your experience, your wife's and mine, we know that the crashing apps only happen on the 7.7. So there is a combination of Samsung OS and hardware that causes the problem. For the reasons I just cited, Samsung IS NOT GOING TO OFFER FIXES OR PATCHES.
You've done a great job listing possible reasons why someone would not do what I did. (To root and flash a new ROM.)
So let me respond directly to your points.

How can you recommend using Cyonogen when all of these issues are present?

It's because of my priorities: I care deeply about reading on my tablet. That includes my subscription to The New Yorker magazine (via Newsstand) and PressReader for a variety of global newspapers. If I can't read what I want, I have to find a solution. You complained about Newsstand, so I told you how to get Newsstand working.
Another fringe benefit: I can get rid of the crap Samsung put in the firmware: Social Hub, Readers Hub, widgets, old PressReader, old Pulse, etc.

I can confirm this does not work. If Samsung would release their WiFi drivers to the development community this problem could be fixed. (If Samsung is too busy with more profitable products, they should let the customers fix the problem, no?)

I have not tested these things.
HDMI
A direct physical HDMI connection is a pretty clumsy way of communicating with a TV. I'd rather use XBMC, DLNA, or one of the streaming boxes and "cast" the content to the TV across my network. Who needs to run a cable across the living room or bedroom between TV and tablet?

Sorry, I don't know what mojo is.

3. Camera not working yet
- Both camera can preview, Autio focus is OK for back camera. Can't save the photo...
(Seems bugs in framework_av cause it)

I did not spend a lot of time testing this. But I was able to save pictures from the back camera. I did not test the front camera. A quick test of Skype was not successful connecting even though wifi is working.

4. The default orientation of lockscreen is landscape.
- not respond to rotation lock. Workaround: set only one angle in settings and enable rotation.

I am not having this problem. I don't remember if this happened on my tablet after flashing CM. But now I am using Xposed framework + App Settings. So almost everything can be forced to auto-rotate.

5. Screen rotation or rapid refresh cause transient noices. (Seems the new opengl issue, will try the new r3p2 mali driver later)

I am not experiencing any unusual noises. I've never built a ROM so I have no idea about the underlying drivers.

Unless you have a different version where everything works as it should.

Unfortunately if Samsung won't release all the drivers to the development community, it's unlikely that there will ever be a fully functional alternative ROM for the GT-P6800.

Don't get mad, just pointing out the flaws of your suggestion.
Also my wife's Note II does not have this issue so I don't think it is a Samsung issue, then again I might be wrong.

I think you listed the issues of CM 11 , and he's using CM 10.X
By the way I got same problem after updating those two apps. So I just uninstalled updates.
I'm still giving the stock ROM some time , as I own this tablet from only 2 months..but I think I'm gonna move to Cyanogenmod in time, its not only Samsung thing, all stock Roms from all brands I've tested get laggy after few months..:| , even with pure android on nexues 7 , this thing I've never seen with Apple tho they still power their flagship devices with Dual Core, and 1 GB Ram.!

Don't fill up the whole of your internal sdcard and fstrim (JB only) your partitions once a week or on boot. Also, improve android LMK & min frees with V6SuperCharger, or CrossBreeder etc. This may help, but involves some reading on your part.
Apple don't fill their device with as many useful features (or bloatware), which would require greater hardware capacity. There's no comparison.

I tried and tested http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535734 latest Cyonoge romantic version and boy or boy was it buggy, issues with screen rotation (known factor) and bluetooth not working (known issue, and I really used this feature) so decided to go back to 4.1.2 stock and just get used to not having latest version of Google Now. At least I know I have a fully functioning rom and tab. I guess no more need to complain.
