VRBMB1 source released - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=i535
Not sure what's changed in the tree or defconf.

"You should be getting an OTA update soon — if you’re lucky — that will bring your Galaxy S3 to Android 4.1.2. The VRBMB1 build is about 150MB in file size, and for those who are wondering, here’s the full change log:
Keyboard Predictive Text has been improved
Users can take picture while on a call
Manual refresh button has been added to lock screen ticker
E-mail syncing has been improved
Enhanced Bluetooth performance
VZ Navigator and Amazon added to stub applications"
-Android Authority
Seems that is all that was added for now. I was hoping that premium suite would be rolled out sooner. Oh well, the joy of being rooted, and being able to install things like pop up browser anyway.

How is this different than the 4.1.2 leak we all been using for a week or so

You've got it all wrong the 4.1.2 "leak" that yiur believing is actually the ota that hit probably a week and a half ago. We've already gotten the ota we just needed source code to get the tar image file and such.

So what is the big deal about taking a photo while on a call? Never understood the concept.
Now I can talk on the phone while snapping pics while driving? Lol

I have a buddy that uses this option all the time now that he has it. He makes vinyl signs and oftentimes while out working, speaking to a customer on the phone, it's helpful to be able to take a picture without having to hang up. Sure, not everyone will utilize this feature, but like a dozen other features on your phone, it's great to have them regardless of whether you'll actually use them or not. :thumbup:

OK fellas... I'm not a dev by any means, but my internal contact at VZW gave me a heads up on a new OTA coming out tonight. EE4 is supposed to fix an entire laundry list of issues, so we just need someone with the skills to obtain it and convert it for those of us on Voodoo.
Copied from http://support.vzw.com/system_update/charge.html:

EE4, for your DROID CHARGE by Samsung..

The document is official, viewable at the link above. When I first got the heads up, the link still loaded up the ED2 update.
This is very good news. I was going to return my Droid Charge this weekend because of a lack of 4g and my 3g crapping out every so often. Hopefully this software update alleviates the issues. *crosses fingers*
*EDIT* Only time I've ever received a 4g signal in Miami was on the Dolphin Expressway and parts of Doral. I live in a 4G LTE area according to the map and have received no signal. Even up in Pembroke Pines, nothing...waiting on the update now. Thanks for the heads up.
So tonight? For sure

Someone with a 100% stock phone will need to check for the OTA.
I've checked, still nothing available. I'll post when I get it though.
Okay

Also nothing
Just to repeat what the prior guy wrote, I have also got nothing OTA.
I just got a OTA Update message asking me if I want to install.
Edit:
I have JT's voodoo lagfix on imnut's kernel. Rooted on ED2.

I downloaded it and tried to install. (IDIOT I AM).
Anyway, the install didn't work, and I just took the battery out, booted in CWM, rebooted the phone, and now it's fine. Updated not installed/applied.

Pics turn multimedia?

Can someone please advise how to make my pics I receive via text to not run as a 5 second video? I'm not sure what I did but I'm certain it didn't do this initially.

Are you using stock messaging app or something else? Which ROM?
my mms have been doing this since android 1.1
yeah.
This is how the GSM network sends Android MMS'. If you find a friend with a Sprint or Verizon CDMA Android device, you'll see it just sends as a photo. Crazy, huh?
Actually I believe this is how Samsung devices handle it. Although I can speak for cdma devices, I know my atrix and nexus one didn't do this. Its just houw the stock app works. If you use a different app like go SMS the problem is gone.
I like the landscape view in the stock app which is why I didn't make the switch myself.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yes I'm using the stock ROM and the original mms app. I guess perhaps it did this since day one but I'm realizing it now lol. Appreciate your responses and I may try a different mms app.

[Q] Tapatalk apps and images

Can anyone, more specifically anyone running aokp or another jb rom (I've only tried SkyJB and aokp) tell me if the normal Tapatalk app is having issues displaying images?
I'm using the free xda app and it's only showing me maybe 1 image per page, if that. It's really, really annoying.

Tapatalk does the same thing for me. Also annoyiong, at least for me, is that the 'last read' message is out of sync, I always have to go back a few posts to see where I was last.
Glad I asked before buying the app to solve the issue. I know it's not much, and I can refund, but I'd rather not if I don't have to.
I figured the official app has had more recent updates than the xda app, but I wanted to see anyway.
Sent from my SGH-I727
So...strangely enough I'm seeing more pictures with CM10 than I was with aokp. Not sure if there's a correlation.
I'm having the same issue with xda premium on orthus 5 but didn't have any problems with it on liquid 4. So I installed tapatalk and now all images are showing up. Has to be a ROM specific issue but don't know how.
On Sky JB you need to uncheck GPU rendering in settings > developer and all images show up.

Using A-beam with my gfs SIII S-beam?

Hi all...my gf and I both have SIIIs, mine running CM10 and hers stock. Is there anyway to get this working between the two? When I try to send to her I get an error saying large files aren't allowed to her device.
Thanks

No one uses samsungs s-beam propitiatory code while one uses standard android code. One uses s-beam which is a combination of wifi-drect and nfc. Android does them separately I believe. She'd need to be running Jellybean for it to work.
You can send small things like contacts, but not large things like pictures or videos.

Multiwindow

I simply installed the multiwindow and popup apps from the note 2 onto the gs3 and it works fine.
It will even allow the video popup window.
This is on a stock sch-i535 @ 4.1.2 no root.
Cool.

video popup is already there since the release of s3. This fact certainly reduces the reliability of your post.

How's your MMS working? No roaming indicator issues? These are known issues for Verizon GS3.

I've tried multiwindow and it really doesn't look good on the GS3, the windows look too cramped.

Igloo, I must apologize, I was referring to the popup windows, not multiwindow.
You guys like the multiwindow? I find it weird on a smaller screen than the Note 2's.
I honestly think its useless

i cant really find a good time to use it. if i need to open another app, i just go and open it.
its nice but not all that useful
Moars multi window is pretty nice I tried synergy and there's is kinda glitchy but honest truth I rarely use it...I NVR rmbr that I got it lol
