New 4.3 issues? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I know there are other threads but you have to read 40 Verizon bashing posts to actually find a post that's relevant to actual issues. I'm completely stock and not a fan of the update. Here are my issues :
Lag, lag, lag.... Huge Ram hog. It uses almost all the ram with only my texts open.
Random flashes from the camera's flash. No rhyme or reason.
Phone doesn't make call when picking up in a text.
Widgets on lock screen (texts) locks up when you click on them.
Anyone else having issues? Anything I need to look out for? Any fixes?

You can have posted this question in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575661
And someone would answer you.
As for the camera flash, look in your settings. I remember seeing it in the phone settings somewhere that that you can turn camera flash on for notifications.

No problem. I don't know about the lag fix. Mine lags worst when unlocking the screen.

I have no shortcuts on my lock screen and have no lag?

You don't have widgets? Texts to pop up on your lock screen?
One more thing that sucks... Battery. Less than an hour screen time and no videos, music, or games.

Scrolling is very sticky

I've noticed that when scrolling through the XDA app that it is really sticky. Is it the app or my phone? I'm stock rooted with Google wallet & Google now running
Thanks

Haven't tried the XDA app, but Tapatalk is miserable. They are basically the same aren't they? I hate Tapatalk so much, but it's the only thing like it out there. So many issues like force closing, pictures not loading, lag and sticky scrolling like you mentioned. Don't know what to tell you. I've been dealing with it for almost a year now.

I've used Tapatalk as well and notice the same thing. I don't understand how scrolling text can be so sticky. It's so irritating that I tend to wait until I can get on my computer just to view the latest info.
The XDA just behaves poorly on our phone. I notice a good deal of lag within the app on a daily basis, general performance just isn't that good.

I'm not sure what's meant by sticky scrolling :-/
As in you can't throw the page when scrolling and it continues moving? Mine does as usual with Euroskank's build, unsure if that's related

[Q] BeanStalk Q&A

These aren't development questions, so I wanted to keep these out of the development thread. Anyhow, I just installed BeanStalk, and I just have a couple questions, and probably more later, and probably other people will, too, so here's a nice thread for everyone to ask their BeanStalk questions.
Anyhow, question 1: I installed the themed MMS and Contacts package on initial install, but I'm not really diggin' it. I'd like to just go back to stock. So, is it just as easy as flashing the beanstock.zip in CWM just as I installed the beanthemed.zip, or is there more prep involved now that something is already in place? Does anything need to be uninstalled first? Or can I just power down, re-flash the new zip, and be good to go?
Question 2: I like the lock screen widgets, however, I'm not a fan of the camera widget on the lock screen. The problem is, it seems to be quite permanent. Does anyone know how to remove the camera lock screen widget?
Thanks much.
Hi guys. Might be just my phone, but I flashed the 4/10 build and my cpu was pegged at 98-100% and never dropped. Battery stats showed media the culprit. I tried disabling it with Android tweaks, but that didn't work. OS Monitor showed "system" at upper 90's. This was draining my battery faster than I could charge it and it was hot of course. Had to revert to 4/1 build. Is anyone else seeing this? If not, maybe I'll try again. Thanks!

I agree it doesn't sound like the same problem he or some others were having,but it is known that there is a problem with that build. May be showing different due to installed apps or any number of reasons.

For me its working great, its a very nice option, Touch awake works nicly on my infuse, yes its taking some battery but for me its ok, as i usualy stop looking my infuse, within 10 mins i used to check the infuse screen 4-5 times, so i want to avoid Power button usage, else soon my power button will stop working.

Constantly Reboots!
Hey Guys!
I am having a constantly reboots on my XT925 nearly every 20 hrs.
I have read that user need to have a logcat in order to have a look at the background process and it is hard to catch as logcat cleared on every reboot so i used catlog application to see my logcat
Whole Logcat : XT925.ZIP
Some Exception Logcat attached as a screenshot but i recommend you check zip file.
Please guys i want as assist from developers in order to determine the cause of this reboot, Please Please Help Me
Hey guys am not a developer and i know nothing about it as i bricked my phone using font installer and after long long search i came up with custom ROMs and all these stuff
Device : XT925
ROM : Beanstalk 8
Android : 4.3
Recovery : OUDHS
Bootloader : Unlocked
I'm having battery problems. I get it charged fully, but it doesn't last no more than 2-3 hours. Also when I restart it suddenly shows a battery life of 12 %, and even then, the 12% goes up to 16% all without a charger... Then goes back down again for which i have to recharge or the phone dies. I tweaked around with the battery settings on android tweaker pro, and it's not helping.

When it went black, did you press the power button a couple times fast trying to catch it? It happens to me sometimes on all jb roms.
As for the lockscreen.. Thats weird. Do you have any custom shortcuts on it? Or custom targets? I'll do my best to help
Did you do a clean install, including dalvik?

[Q&A] [Official] CM 10.2

Since there isn't an official thread for Q&A for CM 10.2 I figured there should be one, so I'm making one. Here we can list out bugs, issues, ask questions, etc. without cluttering or thread hijacking with other Android 4.3 projects (like what was happening to the CM10.1 and beanstalk threads).
I am testing the first official nightly and have discovered the following bugs/issues:
1. After setting up my phone and installing all my apps/etc, it will only boot about half the time. (major bug) I am having to hold power and vol - and pray it will boot THIS time lol I don't have anything exotic on my phone just apps downloaded from the play store. This may have something to do with the CM10.2 theme I am using. **Is more stable using 9-27 nightly and 6.0.3.8 CWM**
2. Screen will often not wake when power button is pressed when the phone is already on. (known issue)
3. Speakerphone mutes mic, you can hear them but they can't hear you (known issue)
4. For me the initial CM setup froze and hot booted (minor issue) ***Should be fixed as of 9-27 nightly, need to confirm still***
5. Compass, etc isn't working properly (known issue).
6. Dark theme for mms.apk (I don't think this has ever worked right...)
7. Selecting 'details' on an image in gallery crashes gallery. **Fixed as of 9-27 nightly**
8. Intermittent issues with the camera. Sometimes it will not start up.
What works:
Camera/Video (and you can finally select the sd card to store these files using the default camera) **having intermittent issues with the camera using the latest nightly**
Data/Phone (using any ICS blaze radio or the UVMC6 sgs2 radio)
Pretty much everything else works flawlessly...
If anyone else has anything to report, or as these issues are resolved, I will edit this post to keep anyone wondering what works/doesn't work with the official 10.2 nightlies where we are.
Also feel free to ask/answer questions related to CM 10.2 here

The initial setup screen froze after I pressed next and hot booted, but worked flawlessly after that.
I changed my theme and rebooted and it would not boot past the Samsung screen. Power and vol- and it rebooted and actually booted. Seems like anything from the system folder being changed will cause some serious issues from what I'm seeing... Even if its just changing the theme. IDK if that's just something with 4.3 but I could modify a ton in the system folder in cm10 and it would boot just fine.

Which recovery and which gapps are you using? I'm using the 2013-08-13 gapps from here.
Did you wipe everything (data, system, cache, davlik) before flashing from whatever rom you are coming from?
Other thing you can try is wipe data from the play store and remove your google account and try again.
Let me know how it goes!
I needed to update my gapps, thank you for the help. All is working great

I believe this started with 4.2.2 but you have to go to settings>about phone and then tap the build number 7 times. After three or four times a message will appear telling how many more times you need to press it. Then developer settings will be unlocked.

Cool. Thanks.
I noticed my light sensor acts a little reversed.
In well lit areas or outside during the day, I can barely see my screen because the brightness is too low.
At night time, the screen is the brightest it can be.
I've disabled auto and enabled it back but no change.
I haven't done a clean wipe when I noticed it but then I decided to do a clean wipe and it still happens.
Anyone else notice this?

So far the only issue I've seen is the camera wigs out. So do other camera apps I install from the market. When I'm in the camera app the screen freaks out almost kinda like how the tv would flip out back in the day when you were flipping the slide switch from the RF adapter to put your tv in game or antenna mode when playing an atari or something.
It also says, "you must insert an SD card" but I have one in, and it works. So I dunno.

I haven't had the SD card message but I have had intermittent issues with the camera not starting up. I'm going to add it to the issues list on the 1st post and get a log in the dev section later tonight.
It seems that once the camera won't start up you have to force close the gallery or use the lock screen functionality to start the camera to get it to come back up again.

Well, I think my SD card issue is actually related...to my SD card.
It works, but man the write speed on the thing is SLOOOOOOOW. Even if I take it out and put it directly into my computer, it takes forever to write to it now. No idea why, but I guess I'm having bad luck with these things. I always bought cheap SD cards before, but ever since I bought this 64gig card (back when they were like $150) I've had nothing but trouble...Sandisk has replaced it twice now!

Verizon replaced my phone due to issues with 5.0

I had so many issues with the upgrade from alarm clock not working, phone getting hot to missed calls due to phone going straight to voicemail that when I called Verizon they decided to replace the phone. I asked for one with the KIt Kat OS and got one today. Phone working like a champ again. Yes, I did the cache clearing and did factory reset twice. My phone just didn't like the Lollipop. Anyway, it's an option for those that are having issues.

Not really only until Google releases a patch for the issues that some people have been experiencing. IN the mean time I can use the phone as I need it. If it works for you then be happy about it. I shouldn't have to use workarounds to use my phone.

Couldn't you have just used Odin to go back to KitKat?

Id take the update again. Surely the same issues aren't present in your new phone
I didn't have any glitches with my phone, but I didn't like how Lollipop handled the notifications in Silent mode (no notification light.) So I ODINed back to KitKat. That, and if I understand directly, Lollipop runs in ARTS, meaning no XPOSED when rooted, meaning to Root Cloak (which I need for the Softcard app.)
The official Lollipop is not for me, but I'll keep an eye out if a talented developer can "fix" these issues in a custom ROM.
Not sure and not willing to take the chance. I was missing too many calls before. Yeah, I could have used Odin and gone back but I took the easy way out. Frankly, my days of messing with the phones are over. Did the whole BB and the earlier Android rooting on Evos and other phones but I'm getting tired of doing that. I was a flashaholic for a long time trying different OS's all the time. The S4 was my last playtoy.

I've found my battery life to be dramatically high now that I'm on LL. I may go back to KK as well unless someone knows of a way to correct the high battery use
I've also been experiencing some issues with the Lollipop update.
•high battery drain;
•phone sitting on table w/screen off, picked it up to find it overheating and was failing to cool itself down; had to pull the battery;
I went back to the old phone and I'm trying to make it work. Did more factory resets and it seems like the phone is actually ringing and allowing me to answer calls now and I'm getting notifications again. Maybe the 4 or 5 resets finally took hold. The replacement phone was bugging the hell out of my trying to force me to download 5.0 every time I used it. Going tp play with it a few more days before I return one of the phones to Verizon. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.......

A new Xposed that work on ARTS is currently under development. Viper4Android incompatibility is a major reason I went back to KK.

Cool, that will help greatly. Maybe an XPosed module will also help with the notifications too (my issue is the LED in silent mode not working, but I think I've seen others having problems with no alarms or anything in silent mode either. Not sure, never tested that before going back to KK.)

I understand that. Lollipop's battery is great and @elliwigy ROM'S battery is damn great on lollipop. I only need amplify and greenify if I use xposed on lollipop which is more GREAT battery! Lol.
