Currently I am running the Hyperdrive ROM 13.0.0 and today my phone is really acting up. The power button is unresponsive. I am not sure if this is a hardware issue or what. It just randomly became unresponsive. When I try to boot into recovery or download mode, the screen will pop up for literally one second and then the phone will cut off. So booting into recovery and/or download mode is a no go. The only way I can get it to boot all the way back up is if I pull the battery out and then put it back in and then hold the volume down button and the home button and then quickly hit volume down to cancel the download mode operation and then the phone restarts and reboots all the way.

Also, when trying to send text messages, it always says failed to send message and yet the message still goes through because the person I am texting always responds to the message that supposedly failed.

I was wanting to update to Hyperdrive 16 but now I just want to restore my phone to working order. Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

I am on MetroPCS and I can not get mms to work on 16, it worked fine on 13. Please help me.
Link me to a stock premium suite ROM for your carrier and I will fix it. I don't have your phone or carrier

Incoming call volume ringer not working

I had previously had the RLS15 rom and it worked great for about a month then all of a sudden my ringer stopped working. Every other sound works. My notifications and media works just fine. So i was forced to flash back to stock rom. I was really disappointed because i love this rom. Then when the RLS16 rom came out i was really hoping this would fix my issue but it didnt. I really dont want to go back to another rom to have my ringer volume work again. :(

Tablet/Phablet Mode

Currently running RLS16 and it's running great!!!! Just curious on how I can get the phone to do a tablet mode and/or phablet since there's no hybrid settings baked into the ROM yet. Any help would be apprectiated.

hyperdrive rls16

Have a Verizon Galaxy S3 and followed Roms install instructions: 1.Download latest Hyperdrive Rom version Rls 16
2. Reboot into Recovery
3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset twice
4. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
5. Install Rom
6. Reboot.

But when phone reboots it loads and gets to the language screen and then will reboot and will do that over and over. Have tried it several times and same result did not have that problem with Rls 15. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

GPS Fails to Lock (SCH-I535)

First of all, thank you to SBreen for your hard work on this ROM!

I just updated to RLS16 (standard kernel) hoping that it would fix my GPS and google Maps issues, but no luck so far. Below are the methods I have tried in my attempt to fix the GPS:

1) Clean ROM install (four times) including formatting all user/system data, wiping Dalvik cache, etc.
2) Fix Permissions from Clockwork Recovery (countless times)
3) Clearing all app data for google applications, including deleting velvet.apk from system and re-installing through the play store (and using standalone .apks)
4) Tightening the screws on the back of my S3
5) Enabling all location service providers
6) Removing Hyperdrive and restoring to the original ROM (yuck!) restores GPS functionality, so I know it's not physically broken.

I love everything about this ROM with the sole exception of the lack of GPS functionality. Google Maps is currently unusable, and GPS Status will run for hours without acquiring a lock, even with the phone in a stationary position in high-reception areas.

Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated, thanks!

After flashing, were you able to let the phone sit for 5-10 minutes before rebooting and setting it up? I found this crucial to getting the GPS to work...

Wifi Automatically turning on

So far so good on rls16. Its great work, and I am digging all the great features and customization options. Performance is smooth. One issue though, which has plagued me on rls15 as well...

My WiFi keeps automatically turning itself on. It happens when the screen is off and has been sitting on my desk for a while, also happens while I am using it. I believe it is supposed to turn on and then off when downloading mms data, but that is not the case here. It wouldn't be an issue, except it is connecting me to the open network here in my office, which I need to sign into on a web interface every time I connect. The WiFi signal is very, very poor so I prefer not to connect. Any ideas?

Thanks!

RLS16 problem

I have been using rls15 with no problem except for the initial install with the Samsung activation. I love your builds they really bring out the capabilities of the device. I updated to RLS16 and the activation problem came back and also I'm now having sms problems. It works well for so long then it starts returning messages saying they failed. I've flashed and wiped 4 times before the install of rom and have tried to install the fix. Still no solution. Any advice? I'm also using att i747

Boot Animation

First, I would like to congratulate you for this wonderful ROM.

Only trouble is; unable to customize the boot animation. I've tried a few applications, but none were successful.

I will appreciate you help. Thank you.

Have a Verizon Galaxy S III
