No. Rom doesn't make any difference. There has to be something wrong in your apn settings. Check the op of this thread under stock apn and double check what you've got. If you still can't get it, post a couple screen shots of your apn settings and I'll see if you've missed something. Remember that capitalization and spaces matter and don't forget you must hit the menu soft key and select save before backing out of the apn settings page.

Net10 apn

Thanks for all your work, Mr. Cook.

I'm using the Net10 version of the phone, and I've found that everything here I've tried seems to be just as applicable except that the APN is different.

For anyone else who may need it, here is the APN as it appeared on the Net10 SGH-S959G - GB 2.3.6 stock

Camera is broke again? No idea why it stopped working again. Noticed it last night about 2 hours after it was working. After it was working all I used was MX video player, internet and Facebook app. Another possible cause is the charger I use overnight. It's an LG charger into a wall outlet. Could this be it? I been using it forever so don't know why it would screw up the camera months later all a sudden. When I get home later I am gonna do a full wipe again. Reinstall SS3 and AJK 4.7ms kernel. If it works again after reinstall... gonna go very slowly from there to see if I can narrow it down.

(Edited to make sense. Originally sent from my phone and that damm Swype!)

I suppose it could be the charger... Try and get a Samsung charger. Keep us posted on how it turns out.

You aren't messing with any voltages are you?

So I just wiped the phone and reinstalled JUST Shostock3.0.2 and the camera worked. Hooked it up to LG wall charger and BOOM...Camera Failed! Wiped again, reinstalled SS3, camera works. A few minutes later, I got the OEM Samsung wall charger plug and USB cable.... before I plugged it in, I checked the camera... Camera Failed!!!! It was a matter of 5-10 minutes. I give up.....

I am a bit bored and maybe someone else is too. Brain storming time! This camera is driving me crazy!

If the camera works sometimes, but usually not... why? Hardware or software?
After a fresh reinstall of a ROM, it works most of the time BUT for only a little while then crashes itself in the background while not even using the phone.
Is there some kind of camera.apk thats Version number is higher than 1.5? (thats what my version number is) And in the all apps page, there is never any cache to clear for the camera? (only 8kb of data which is the help screen when you first launch the camera) Is that normal?

I've actually given your problem a lot of thought. At first it seems like a hardware problem but the fact that it works fine for a little while then goes haywire makes me think... Could it be a voltage problem?

In stweaks there is CPU voltages and GPU voltages. Have you tried bumping these up, say all frequencies +1 step in voltage??? I mean I'm really just brainstorming here. I honestly have no idea if this will have any effect at all. What i do know is that if i over clock this phone at all it will make lines in my camera pics. Not really so much lines but vertical stripes of discoloration...
I will try to find out more about this. Try googling CPU/GPU voltages and picture quality in Samsung devices.

    THIS IS ONLY FOR THE STRAIGHT TALK S2 MODEL# SGH-S959G...... NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANY OTHER PHONE.

    THE BEST WAY TO ROOT / OR FLASH A CUSTOM ROM -
    Install RECOVERY using ODIN, make a BACKUP, then flash the ROOT ZIP in RECOVERY.
    - TWRP 2.7.1.0 Odin-
    - Make a backup with TWRP before going any further. Boot into recovery, select backup/ restore, backup.
    - Root Zip- flash zip through CWM thanks to cynnar-
    Mirror-
    -You will need to install busybox from the market if staying on stock+ root.
    - PhilZ CWM v6.0.2.7 If you will be using a Siyah based kernel ( AJK Kernel ), or would like the extra options in CWM flash this- View attachment 1703135

    If you prefer CWM flashable zips can be found further down, and throughout the thread (search).


    - ROMs
    - I777 Main Thread- http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1301 (Android Development, and Ported Development to find ROMs)
    - OR flash CyanogenMod 10.1 from link below (this is flashed in CWM) From CyanogenMod 10.1 all i777 custom ROMs are compatible.
    - CyanogenMod, and most all custom ROMs are already rooted when you flash them, no need to root first.
    - You may need to change your APN for data to work with some custom ROMs. Stock APN is at the bottom of this post. Usually you can just edit the included APN from att.mvno to wap.tracfone , and save it, then select it. If data still doesn't work delete all other APNs besides the one you're using.

    REMOVING THE YELLOW TRIANGLE

    GINGERBREAD ONLY! (Root Required)
    - Extract the stock zImage from the factory firmware at the top of this page (I used 7zip, and needed to extract it twice to get it apart).
    - Put the stock zImage on the root (not in a folder) of your internal SD card. You can do this through the usb, adb push (adb push- Copy and paste the zImage into your folder with adb, connect your phone with usb, then command- adb push zImage /sdcard/zImage), whatever method you like.
    - Now using adb shell, or terminal emulator found in the market (if you don't' have adb ask GOOGLE) issue the command (capitilazation and spacing matter):

    $ adb shell
    $ su
    # dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

    This must be done as #, if you have a $ enter command: su
    You must already be rooted for this to work. To switch to a different kernel afterwards you can use the same method, or CWM without getting the yellow triangle again or increasing the flash counter. As long as you flash internally, if you use Odin or Heimdall to flash anything thats not stock it will come back.


    REMOVING YELLOW TRIANGLE ICS AND ABOVE!
    -If running ICS or above you can use triangle away found here- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22462960

    -TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery "thanks to razen kain" (flash from recovery)-
    Let me know if this link gets killed and I'll add it to Dev host.

    Flashing other versions of CWM with adb (Root Required)
    - Extract the zImage (boot.img) from the ROM of your choice (I use 7zip to extract it).
    - Put the zImage (boot.img) on the root (not in a folder) of your internal SD card. You can do this through the usb, adb push (adb push- Copy and paste the zImage into your folder with adb, connect your phone with usb, then command- adb push zImage /sdcard/zImage), whatever method you like.
    - Now using adb shell (if you don't' have adb ask GOOGLE) issue the command (capitilazation and spacing matter):


    $ adb shell
    $ su
    # dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6

    or if it's a boot.img

    # dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6

    If you don't have service after unlocking and switching SIM cards you need to flash an at&t modem like I777UCLL6 found above. Apparently the modem used by Straight Talk only works with their service.

    The op needs to be updated with this'd information...

    The latest cwm is only for kitkat ROMs, that's cm 11+. Of you want to go with jelly bean ROMs like the one you're trying to use, you need to use cwm 6.0.2.7 it's older but JB won't flash on the newer ones. There are a few different versions but any will work as long add it's philZ, AJK, or 6.0.2.7

    Since you already have cwm installed you can just DL the zips and flash them in recovery then reboot "recovery" and it will be complete. No need for Odin now. Try that and get back to us

    I think I'm just going to replace CWM with the new TWRP in the op. It seems to be easy more compatible. Plus I like it better.

    EDIT: Done. Op updated to install TWRP with Odin to be more compatible.

    I thought it was...a lot of the ROMs I search are based on the i777 builds just have to make sure you have the correct radio installed.....I've rooted mine and used several different ROMs just based off of this thread. Searching the thread with the search tool will yield massive results. See post#5 from the OP that's a fairly good clue.

    Ok ok ok wait... Let's clear up some confusion. The one and only difference between the 959g and the i777 is that the 959g has its recovery on a separate partition by itself, whereas the i777 has kernel and recovery on the same partition. The 959g can use any ROM or kernel built for the i777 no problem. But if you want a different recovery on 959g you must use one of the zips from the op or Odin. If you had an i777 and you flash a new kernel it will also install a new recovery as it will be packaged in the zip. If you flash the same kernel on the 959g, your kernel will change but recovery remains untouched since it is on a different partition. That is the one and only difference between the two. Happy flashing :thumbup::D
