My battery life is fine as long as I keep GPS off. As soon as I launch the Maps app, battery will start to drain faster, and continues to drain faster even after I turn GPS off. Only restart fixes the issue. There is gotta be a wake lock somewhere. I know someone must have found the solution...

For the folks who are stuck in 20+ min bootloop, make sure you Wipe data/Factory Reset after flash is completed. - Hold Volume Down + Power to enter fastboot. - Press Volume Up or Down until you select Recovery, press power to enter Recovery. You should see a dead android with red exclamation...

Visiting DC. Lincoln memorial.

Fell on concrete as I was coming out of my car. Got a crack on the bottom right corner unfortunately. Good thing the majority of the display is not affected.

Putting in my own input. I'm bootloader unlocked, rooted, and Xposed framework installed, with TWRP recovery. To get from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3, follow option C in the op. Takes a little work, but flawless. Just needed to re-root, and grab the latest version of SuperSU afterwards and you should be...

When I first got my N5, it automatically connects to AT&T LTE network, even when the LTE network has bad connection. Then someone posted a carrier specific file, that allowed my N5 to drop to 3G whenever LTE connection is bad. I just upgraded to 4.4.3, and need to find that file again. The...

Haha, was working overtime that week. Only things I did was eat, sleep, work, and text. Glad that was over. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Three people in my office have it. Two more with N4, one of them is probably going to upgrade. My android brothers and sisters are increasing in number by the week Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Rooted stock. Xposed gravity box. Sometimes I wish Xposed were ART compatible. Oh well you can't have everything. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I ordered mine on 2/3, and just got the shipping confirmation yesterday. We can safely deduce that they probably get new batch of 16gb every 2 weeks or twice every month, hence the 2-3 weeks wait. If your order can get in the current batch, you'll receive it quickly. Otherwise you'll be waiting...

^that one Either that one or Kangakat should work fine. You'll need to manually install Xposed for Kangakat Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

I dirty flashed from v3.0 for the heck of it. The phone boots up fine. Other functions remain to be checked out. I'll post back if there's a problem. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

Everything is well except the stupid Google location service battery drain introduced in 4.3. Not Sho's problem, though he may be able to do something about it. I don't want to manually switch location service every time I use maps. Dealbreaker for me. Back to 4.2 until Google get their acts...

Full wipe and installed with twrp. Used TiBu to freeze and restore apps as usual. Wifi, bluetooth, call, all works. Need to see how battery life holds up. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

Don't think I'll upgrade to this one. MF3 is extremely stable for me; there is no reason to change anything. However, I will be watching this thread closely when Samsung rolls out the source for 4.3. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4

You have to go thru att to keep your unlimited data plan. If you buy thru Amazon, you'll get assigned to one of the default plans, and you have to talk to att to get your unlimited plan back. The issue is that there is no guarantee. If unlimited plan is important to you, suck it up and go to...

I'm not sure if this is a ROM problem or problem with the camera firmware. Pictures taken with 16:9 ratio appears to be squished, 4:3 looks normal.

Its all about money. Locked bootloader prevents people from getting this phone for 99 or 199, then sell on ebay for $400-500. You want unlocked phone? Get developers edition. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4

Google Edition S4. That was my original plan until I realized that I didn't have a LTE sim card. Had to get the ATT version just to have them assign me a LTE compatible sim card.

Just flashed to this rom today. All was well except after I flashed jeboo kernel 1.0 to upgrade the camera firmware, it had trouble booting into TWRP 2.6 using the "Recovery" option in the boot menu. I had to shut off the phone completely to manually boot into TWRP. No such issues with jeboo...

Shostock on the i777 made me upgrade to this phone. Strangely, I haven't flashed anything yet. After I froze everything with Tibu, battery life is absolutely amazing on stock. Don't see the need to flash anything. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Is there any reason you need to be on complete stock? At this point, a lot of the custom roms have stomped out pretty much all the bugs. Should be safe to flash to one of those to get on the latest android version. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

That was the exact problem I wanted to avoid. I ended up buying the ATT version. I figured that if it already had the MF3 update, I'll just pay the $35 restocking fee to return the phone, but I'll keep the LTE sim and the IMEI number. Then just buy the google edition and plug in my new LTE sim...

Unfortunately att will only let you exchange it if you pay the 35 dollars restocking fee. My heart goes to your wallet. Try something like 'I really don't like the color' and see if you can get a new one for free. I just got the phone yesterday myself. Disabled wifi and cell data first thing...

Just came back from ATT store. The phone they gave me has base band version I337UCUAMDL. I disabled wifi and cell data on the spot, so they was no chance of any update being pushed through. Rooted through Motorchopper just fine. Have to download Tibu later to freeze updater apps...

Heading off to the ATT store tonight to get a new phone. Will report back to see if they upgrade your firmware on the spot, or worse, the firmware is already upgraded. I wonder if I can request the rep to not turn on the phone at all...

Re: [RoM][XWLSD-4.1.2-JB][SHOstock3 v2.5.1] [02/10/13]["JellyBlizzard Release"] A benchmark that I always use, is that you should get around four hours of continuous screen time with this phone. This is normal usage - light apps, low screen brightness, no airplane mode. I can squeeze out...

Re: [RoM][XWLSD-4.1.2-JB][SHOstock3 v2.5.1] [02/10/13]["JellyBlizzard Release"] I got lazy and flashed 2.5.1 on top of 2.1 without wiping. Other than having battery percentage dropping 25%, haven't noticed anything else. The battery percentage is probably just a display issue. Sent from my...

Re: [RoM][XWLS8-4.1.2-JB][SHOstock3 v2.0.6] [01/30/13]["Churning Butter"] I was completely panicking an hour ago, because I accidentally did factory reset without CM backup. Luckily this rom is completely on par with my previous rom. Fresh install plus Tibu for my apps, back in business...

The nightly download needs to be fixed. It's only 40MB, should be much bigger as stated.

Pretty sure it's a CM9 issue. If you go to the original CM9 thread on the i9100 forums, many people report that the Media service is running nuts on their phones. It only happens to some people it seems. Basically if you use video, you have a high chance of running into it.

This rom is built from i9100 firmware. The rom you are trying to flash probably require i777 base. Flash something from i777 first, like rooted stock or the Unoriginal rom. Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4

Does anyone know how to add a Boot to Recovery option when you hold down the power button? I've been doing that with JKay, but JKay doesn't work with this rom yet :P Yes it does.

Currently there are only two major things wrong with this rom. 1. Video recording and playback 2. Market and Tibu are flakey. Sometimes a reboot would fix it, but not guaranteed. Sometimes you have to clear cache. Other times it fixes itself after 10 minutes. Once these two things are fixed, it...

Is the email app in RC3 different from the one attached in post#2? Email no longer sync with my work's exchange server after upgrading. EDIT: FALSE ALARM. It started working after waiting for 10 minutes. Other than that, haven't found any more issues. Sent from my Galaxy SII

I did just a straight install from yesterday's version without wiping. The only thing you have to be careful of, is to wipe Market (Google Play)'s data before installing Gapps again. Or else market doesn't let you install certain apps.

This rom is a port from the I9100 forums, while the I9100 rom is based on CM9 nightly. So unless Fenny wants to spend a whole lot of time troubleshooting this, which he could probably spend doing something else, it's better to wait for the CM9 group to solve their issues.

I have the same issue. It's probably related to the same core problem as Netflix not working and the video camera not working. The video encoder on the phone doesn't work, and anything that uses the it will be affected. Edit: codeworkx has added a video encoder patch to the CM repo. We should...

depends on your definition of daily usage. For someone like me who doesn't need the video camera, Fenny's AOSP port is working just fine for daily use. Battery life is quite acceptable, and no one has complained about my call quality yet. Sent from my Galaxy SII

Did you disable scrolling cache? Sent from my Galaxy SII

Read what? I always read the first page in every thread, and do a key word search in the thread before posting. I posted because I believe I found a condition where the random screen wake issue can be bypassed, which is not stated in the first page of the thread nor did it come up in key word...

I'll have to do more testing. But I believe the random screen on issue doesn't happen or happen a lot less often when the phone is plugged in. Sent from my Galaxy SII

Thanks Fenny! Great work. I've only played around with the most basic things. Here's some observations: - battery life sucks compare to tweaked out GB. Well that is kinda expected. - most scrolling is not as smooth as GB. Again expected. - new google apps are pretty good. Also expected - MTP...

Here's a minor one for you. If you reboot/recovery with the Wifi turned on, the next time the phone boots up, the wifi icon will get stuck at one dot. A quick toggle will easily fix it.

Is that a challenge? ;) Switching to it right now. Not going to stop until I find a bug!

Was trying out a variety of roms out of boredom. I must say, out of the box, yours is the smoothest thing ever. Did you mess around with cache settings?

Thank you entropy for this awesome toy. I'm in agreement with you that a tweaked out GB is much smoother. I personally use unnamed+smooth scrolling mod. Even when not scrolling, the ics firmware still pauses and stutters occasionally. We'll have to wait for source before playing with it, i...
