So sometimes my ringtones become "Unknown" and I have to reselect them. is this a common issue? Seems like it happens if the phone crashes.

Edit: Rebooting the phone in any way seems to cause the ringtones to become "Unknown".

I have only very rarely had this issue (like every 3 or 4 months) and I have flashed almost every single weekly (most dirty flashes).

Phone gets rebooted at leat once a week, sometimes twice. Likely is an app combination issue rather than being intrinsic to the basic build.

Well after a proper reboot now it won't detect the SD card through my phone properly. It all seems to work fine on my PC. I'm backing it up for a reformat just to see. Not sure what is going on but this is the 3rd time it has happened.

Is it possible your SD card is going bad?

Bad SD was my first concern but it seems like its only ringtone issues. I can listen to my music, see pictures, watch videos on the SD card, ETC.

It's gotten worse. Now nothing is working. I even reformatted the SD and moved the stuff back. Nothing seems to be able to read it but it works fine on my PC and shows good health. My friend seems to think my media scanner is malfuncitoning so I'm going to try a fresh format.

Edit: I can't backup anything even to the internal now. It just isn't working. I wish I knew what happened.

Reflashing the latest stable 7.0 seems to have worked fine. Such an upset to have to redo everything though. It finds all media without an issue again.

So I just installed the latest stable on my SGH-I747 and:

-Home button doesn't work

Went to Settings > Navigation > Enable custom but I still can't get that to work.

-Menu in Notifications bar doesn't work.

I press the icon on the top right and nothing happens.

Any ideas?

I suggest you download the image again, do a complete wipe of all partitions cache, dalvik etc and re-intsall.

I have it installed on an SGH-I747 and it works well.

Just re-did download and reflash., and got a soft brick. Meh. Guess I'll try one more go or try another ROM.

Using PhilZ touch recovery, could that be an issue?

Reflashed and I'm stuck in some kind of bootloop:

Just shows the samsung logo for a sec, shows the slimkat logo, and then reboots into recovery.

Guess I'll Odin back to Stock and try it again.

Edit 2:

Okay, Odin back to stock, installed TWRP via Odin, placed d2tl2e slimkat zip and gapps full in root of /sdcard of phone storage and reflashed. Glad to say everything works.

Very nice.

Any recommended kernels for this phone?

Philz Tough is no longer supported, that could Bevan issue, I been using TWRP 2.8.1.0 without any problems...

I got everything working and I used latest TWRP to get it going, even flashed the latest lean kernel (9.17 I think) and the phone is smooth. I experience a bit of lag though while in calendar though with both cyanogenmod kernel provided and LK. Anyway to go about fixing that?

I have seen this even the reader/Sim riser card in the going bad. If you sees no improvement I would reseat and/or consider replacing. It's a cheap part if you do it yourself or a local so will charge between 35 and 70 to do it.

Possible. Over a month ago the phone said the sim was ejected which I have never seen it do before. Figured it just bugged out because I rebooted it and it was fine till this. It is an old S3. Maybe an upgrade wouldn't hurt soon. But so far everything is perfect again.

Such a nice rom but the whole experience seems laggy. Using latest Chrome on this ROM, trying to view this forum just lags like crazy.

Anyone else experience this?

    On another note, is d2lte gonna be supported in 5.0? Seems most devs have moved on.:banghead:
    Going to happen since I have some say about it. ;) Last I checked, my only DD Device is a S3. :cowboy:

    I am the most patient individual in the world!! ( I never push for a time or date from a developer) I guess I should have asked the question a different way, is the weekly development of 9.0 finished...because of LP getting ready to drop?........because the download files are gone...
    You have not been Asking ETA. I know. :) As to LP? Well keep watching hopefully later today.
    Yes, stable 9 is the last kk build. All efforts now are for SlimLP. It's still in alpha, but weeklies are coming soon. Some devices are gonna have a tougher time than others, though. Right now there's lots of good builds for N5 and Oneplus One, but others still need work, from what I understand.
    Yeah D2 fell into latter category. The stock Camera is still borked. However 3rd party Camera apps are working fine.
    yes, you choice your kernel based on better audio perfomance.. but im looking for better battery perfomance? which one do you can recommended?
