Ok to make a long story short, after I themed a whole bunch of themes I did not like the end result so i wanted to go back to where I was before. I loaded my backup and everything backed up but its like the backup was not clean or something because my phone has just been to unstable and acting stupid. It force closes some things and I have to pull the batt about once a day because I can't answere the phone. Also something about google services framework keeps popping up when I call someone. I am fed up. I am on srf 1.2 with the genocide 2.0 kernal.
Any thoughts on what I should do? Odin back and start over? Or is there anything better out there with gingerbread? I have not looked into anything current. Seems like there is a lot of stuff I have not seen before. Looks rather cofusing. Cwm5, selfkang cm7, acs rom manager. I am at. A loss for words. Can anyone help me.

this. No really!
if youre looking to start over i can tell you i went from stock to acs ics v5.5 right before marcusant stopped dev and did his red revival rom. it was smooth, just a little buggy, but was eating my battery alive. I then switched to legendary 2.1 which was ok but in the end i opted for cleangb. its just simpler and i dont really need all that much. good luck
Ok so I cleared data and that solved the google.framework issues. But my gps button on the pulldown bar does not turn gps on. I also still can not send audio messages with the stock messanger.
Any thoughts? Should I be looking at gingerbread at this point or should I wait for a while?

Toggle GPS a couple of times within Settings menu and then reboot and try the button.

Does it work if you turn it on in settings? If not then Odin back to EC05, check GPS, if it works root and flash your ROM. Check it. If it works THEN do an advanced data restore from your nandroid and see if it still works. If it is broken then, try a factory data reset. If it is working again then reinstall apps from the market and set everything up again without restoring the bad data, or restore from an older nandroid where it was working.
The gps symbol does not show up when I turn it on in settings, but I have noticed that if I use an app that requires gps to be on it will take me to the settings menue where I can turn it on. Depending on the app the symbol sometimes shows up. Gps always seems to work when a gps app needs it. It just really bothers me that the button does not work in the pull down bar.

You will probably have to Odin to EC05, check your button, if working root and flash ROM and check it. Should still work. Do not restore all your data. You will need to do a Titanium backup and pick and choose apps and data you must have.

You do realize that the GPS icon will only appear on the status bar when GPS is being used, right? Just because you have it turned on, whether with the pull-down menu or not, does not mean it will appear on the status bar. It may be on, but in standby waiting for an app that uses it. GPS kills battery, thus standby mode when not in use.
That said, while I don't know which ROM you've been using, most--if not all--generally "light up" the toggle buttons when something is turned on, even if it's in standby mode. Does the toggle button change state, i.e., light up, change color, or switch between "ON" and "OFF" when you toggle it?
I am on srf 1.2 and genocide 2 kernal. That makes sense, yes the button changes color and says on and off. I just thought that the icon used to appear when I pushed it. Maybe not.

I don't remember SRF 1.2 doing that, but it's been a few months since I was on SRF or Android 2.2. What's important to know is that as long as the icon switches state and GPS works when you need it, everything is functioning properly. IIRC, for the past few ROMs I've used the icon is only present when GPS is actively functioning, not when in standby mode. This is a good thing, it lets you know when it's burning up battery.
BTW, SRF 1.2 with Genocide 2 was my ROM of choice for Android 2.2! I recommend you upgrade to a 2.3 ROM these days though. To be honest, I've only used EpicMTD CM7, but it's awesome. The devs are knocking out issues very quickly, and we should be an officially supported CyanogenMod device soon.
Thanks for all your help. I guess I will not worry about it then. So I am kind of new to all the gingerbread roms and stuff. Is there or can you post some links that would be helpful for me to read? I have heard about acs rom manager and selfkang cm7 and cwm 5. I know nothing about any of this stuff. Ever since I rooted and romed with srf and genocide I never kept up to date with all this new stuff. Thanks
I rarely touch the gps function of my phone so the gps is always disabled, but it comes a time after some days of uptime (cannot give an exact number cause this is the second time I experience this), now I have 227 hours, that I enable the GPS but in fact it isn't enabled. How I know this? Well, all the gps using apps like navigation software (igo) and GPS Test aren't fixing location even after 1-2 hours and the gps icon in the notification bar isn't appearing. "GPS Test" says that gps is ON but it won't connect to any sat. If I restart the phone GPS works like it should so no problem there, but I am really curios as why this happenes and how could it be fixed without reboot.
ROM: BlackICE 1.27. (running CM since ...... forever so if I experienced this before it was also with CM rom)

Ivan.
Try to push and hold the antenna cover on the behind and see if the signals gets better, if not download the AGPS patch from here on xda. If the problem was the antenna cover then you will have to buy another one and replace it (YouTube) or unroot, S-ON and get it back to stock and then send it back to get it repaired.

I do not have signal or hardware problems. It's software thing. After some uptime when I enable the GPS switch the gps apps see that gps is on, but gps funktions do not work. ALso the GPS icon in the notification bar is not appearing. Only device reboot fixes it, and then ofcourse gps works like a charm ! But I do not want to reboot, that is why I'm asking for a posibile solution.

I had similar problem on cm 7.
Found it if i turn on the gps by a widget it wouldnt fix location or show up in the notification bar. Try switching it on by using the settings -> locations.
Gps fix was horrible on cm7 anyway and camera was grainy, switched back to sense rom (rev hd 7).
Tried that with the settings -> Locations didn't help. For this little issue I won't change to Sense. I do NOT have any problems with gps fix, it does it in 10 seconds max as long as it turns on. The camera indeed isn't the best but I don't give a rats ass about pics because I have a professional camera. And because of the performance and batterylife of CM I will never change back to Sense.
Thanks for the advice thou.
When you say not turning on and not showing in the status bar, I'm wondering if the location settings are correct.
Since a reboot helps but after running the phone a while you can't fix sats.
1. Have you tried clearing igo data and cache? That seems like it should work since rebooting does.
2. Are your GPS locations set correctly? --would think so, but then it wonks out later.
When I initially had problems I got GPS status and downloaded agps assistance but still had problems, rebooting didn't help and push some other file.
Let me know about 1 and 2 see if that helps or what to get GPS on for you all the time (when you want it)

Before I go into IGO I always make the first gps check with gps test plus. And the gps icon is not appearing on status bar, and ofc no sats are found by GPS test. Now gps works because i had to reboot because of another installation. So now everything works great. (gps related)
I also did all the things with agps assitance.... but I am very shure that these things have nothing do to with it, because gps works very good when it is runing.
I am pretty sure it's ROM related.
Yeah sounds that way, just gotta check those simple (we do them) but overlooked tasks.
Good to know everything is working now. Sometimes I just wait for that next update if I don't use a feature that is not working right.

Same thing has happened to me, too. I'm a CM nightly user.
So far the only solution I have found to work is rebooting the phone.
I've found out it seems to happen mostly when I turn the GPS on using the Power Control widget and most of the times it's working fine if I turn the GPS on using the Notification Power Widget.
I have the same issue with the Data connection: when trying to turn it on using the Power Control widget it's a hit and miss situation. I reported this in the CM7 thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22459809&postcount=7352
but no one could offer an explanation or a solution except full wipe.
I always do a full wipe and this still happens.
It's been a few days since I've been using the LorD ClockaN's latest kernel and the issue seems to have gone away.
Here's the kernel thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085725
and I'm using the kernel from here:
http://blackice.omca.co.uk/download/icecoldsandwich/UE-ginger-kernels/
The kernel file is lordmodUEv8.9-CFS-b2-gpu.zip
Try it, see if it makes a difference for you, too.
Hy,
I am always using the latest LC kerrnel, and tried to activate GPS from everywhere.
I mostly use the notification Widget and still same behavior. Never had problems with the data switch and I do use that one alot. At the moment GPS works because I rebooted few days a go.
Thanks for the reply.

answer please
its real nice to finally have some ICS goodness on my phone, but i have found some issues.
my Motorola Roadster 2 bluetooth speakerphone does not work well with this version of ICS. will not let me use the call/text button.
i am finding some apps not working correctly, i.e. Pushover - the notifications do not make a sound. Not sure if that is an app issue, or an ICS issue.
*edit* ok so it seems that i am not getting any notification sounds. sms, voicemail, etc...
also the volume in general does not seem as loud as the 2.3.6 firmware was.
anyone else find any issues?
*UPDATE* after wiping within cwmr most of my issues were no longer present. the only problem i had still was that notification sounds didnt work after a couple hours. i dont know the cause, but i used audio manager widget and set the profile to loud, and restarted phone. havent had them go out since.
I have all these issues except tue bluetooth thing

atleast it is not me.
i am going to reflash my phone to see if it may be an issue with not clearing out the phones memory and storage first...
My wifi didn't work for a while. It would see my access point but wouldn't connect. Reset the router and everything went back to normal. GPS works, Stereo BT/OBEX works, 4G works, camera works. Those were my big items, as I'm sure they are most people's.
My only issues are that I can't switch to 2g (At&t rom....) and how friggin Touch-wizzy everything is. I was expecting them to embrace the whole holo thing a lot more, but all the buttons feel like they belong in GB, same with the notification menu and the settings icons.
EDIT: I am on rogers, in case any rogers people see this so they know that everything works on our network
i wiped via cwmr and reflashed the ics rom. notifications work again. have not rooted yet, wondering if that may have been an issue with it...
Changing the lcd DPI causes the rom to corrupt i guess, since when i do it, after the reboot, i get to the samsung "logo" and then black screen, and it feels like the device has shut down. The only app that would say "success" when i change the value is Lcd Density Modder.
- i had the notification sound bug, but then i changed the notification sounds to my likings, and then i used Audio Manager widget to set the volume loud, no problems ever since.
ok rooted and all is fine. maybe i just had a bad flash. my bluetooth speakerphone still doesnt work, but that is an issue that i will have to research
For me, i had the only issue with ICS (excluding the known thing with the keyboard not flashing) - timezones from 2011 year with wrong summer times.
Luckyly fixed it with timezone fixer from google play.
Tethering doesn't work, seems to be broken and results in a blackscreen.. Both Usb and Wifi Hotspot give this issue.. Anyone else getting this
One weird thing my phone does is when it's been asleep for a while, the lockscreen clock will fall behind and when I wake it up, it'll catch up a couple dozen minutes at a time.

I've rogers version but unlocked and working with a local carrier. Wifi is not a problem at all, i'm getting the same speed and used wifi continuously for over 2 hrs to download all my apps back after the update.
When typing with the keyboard, pressing the alt. Key once makes it select all the special characters. I liked the older one where if you press it once, it operates just once when selecting the special character, and pressing it twice makes it select more than one. Not that big of an issue but to some people it may be.
Also, the brightness thing. When I turn off the screen, and turn it on again, it flashes from the highest brightness to the current.

On AT&T here, and having wifi issues as well... Once the phone drops wifi at idle, it doesn't want to pick it back up unless I turn wifi off and back on again. Setting the wifi to never sleep has been my only workaround.
Also having some issues with the button backlights. If I don't touch the phone long enough for the button backlight to turn off, touching the buttons won't turn the light back on. Touching the screen turns the backlight on again, but it's slightly annoying.
I haven't noticed any wifi issues and I use my Glide exclusively as a wifi device. I'm copying my backup of Inception v2 back right now though because the battery drain on the ICS ROM is definitely an issue. Losing like 10% an hour with my phone just sitting there with the screen off.

Have you ever took note of your battery life with a custom ROM or kernel? When I picked up my Glide it had a stock ROM but I only had it for an hour before I put a custom on it. I didn't mess with the stock one at all so I can't compare to stock 2.3.5/6. But with Inception v2/ardatdat, it was definitely better.
I was going to restore my backup but copying it back to my phone made me realize how painful it is to copy backups with CWMR 6 compared to 5. That new blobs folder makes so many files that it took 3 hours to copy 3 of my backups over USB. Ouch.
But since last night, the battery life seems to be behaving better. Its been sitting here and not just dying. I'm wondering if it could be the battery stats file. Maybe I'll try wiping it. I'm sure once we get a lower voltage kernel and I can underclock with profiles for the screen-off and stuff, it'll be fine again.
Unrelated but has anyone taken a screenshot with the ROM yet? ICS is supposed to have it built in, power button + volume down at the same time for a few seconds from what I read, but didn't seem to work.
Edit: Its home + power button at the same time.

when you flashed ICS did you wipe everything then run the ics installer? my first install sound and such didnt work, so i wiped the phone in cwmr and reflashed ics and it is better that it was on 2.3.6
I have been setting up and play with this version for a couple of hours. I was fighting with Kies to recognize the phone and finally had to uninstall / reinstall again to get it to work. Makes no sense since I backed up before the update. Regardless i was able to recover my SMS and Phone logs which is the only thing I did not have backed up.
Here are the fixes that I have found so far:
1. Keyboard backlight of course.
2. Menu buttons light up now when they are touched. No longer have to touch screen (this was a big one for me).
3. SMS notifications work correctly although I had switched to SMS Pro to solve and I love it now.
4. Other notifications seem to be working ( calendar, alarm, etc.) but I was already using Volume Ace which fixed these as well.
5. Accuweather application rotates through my chosen cities now. I had not realized this was not working properly but always had to open the app to switch cities.
So far so good with some of the major items fixed. #2 was really bothering me for a long time since I was alway hunting for the right button in the dark.

So, there shall be no more GSM hangups? Than its a musthave
Still have not found a link to download any version of this update.
Someone had posted that GPS is fixed as well, something that I and a few others have been battling with - it taking minutes, if ever, locking a signal and location.
Can you confirm GPS ? Did you have issues w/ it before?
I'll be playing with this Rom this weekend.

I had seen people having problems with GPS but I never experienced that issue. Perhaps I just do not use it enough but when I use it as navigation while driving with the built in apps, the location was always correct for me. I used it out of state a few times and my location seemed to stay locked.
I was basically using the stock ROM LH2 before with just the Keyboard light fix. No Root or other changes except CWMR for backups.

Tethering and 4G Symbol
Hi,
ICS looks great for me, i flashed the Stock rom (I927UCLJ3_I927ATTLJ3_ATT) from samfirmware.com via ODIN, but there are still 2 problems.
First:
Is there any way to unlock USB Tethering and Mobil Hotspot?
Second:
What´s about the 4G Symbol, i´m living in Germany and on GB i saw the 3G or H (for HSDPA+) Symbol now its a 4G
I´m not sure if the 4G search process reduces the battery livetime wahtsoever, is it possible it switch it back?
Thx and have a nice Day
Oh. P.s. is ist possible to Root the Stock rom, and kill all the damn AT&T app´s and change the gps.conf?
Well, about the GSM and notification issues: they were not fixed. I noticed one thing, that this problem is repeatable if you use Alarm clock (stock or not - does not matter).
You wake up, diable the alarm, after that, if you dont touch and turn on your phone - it will hang in a while, until you turn it on. So the GSM/Wifi statuses change rapidly after turning on, time advance in status bar very fast.
This issue makes me miss calls and have repeatable notifications
Why does the name of my provider always appears in the notification bar?..

GPS works for me, but I have to wait a lot for first time position fix.
Literom 0.8.4 finally has GPS fixed. I was cruising around with it, it was as accurate as my TomTom and fixed about as fast.
TheGreaterGood found the fix and embedded it .. huge thumbs up! Follow Instructions in the OP .. .I installed everything, literom kernel 1.1.1, stock modem and stock everything else, north america for gps config and after it fixed the first time, it started fixing right away in doors and out.. I'm very happy w/ this Rom.
I have noticed this for the last two weeks. My GPS has been acting goofy, and if I try to navigate it will just always say "searching for GPS". I made sure that my actual gps is turned on, I did so from the drop down notification, but I noticed that when opening my maps and stuff, I don't get the gps icon in my notification bar. Any one else experiencing this? I'm wondering if my phone is jacked, or if there's s quick fix. Phone if totally stock, no Rom, it's not flashed or anything. I did update to 4.1
Thanks in advance for any help.

I think this might be a little excessive.
Hard reset fixed this issue on my S3. Just pull the battery without shutting the phone down then turn the phone back on. I haven't had the issue come back since doing the first and only hard reset on my phone.

I made sure that my actual gps is turned on, I did so from the drop down notification, but I noticed that when opening my maps and stuff, I don't get the gps icon in my notification bar. Any one else experiencing this? I'm wondering if my phone is jacked, or if there's s quick fix. Phone if totally stock, no Rom, it's not flashed or anything. I did update to 4.1
Thanks in advance for any help.

Untick and tick back GPS and WiFi localisation in localisation settings.
Search faster GPS in the play store. My phone locks instantly now.

I have been having this same GPS issue since I upgraded to jelly bean....
I have Odin back to stock , changed my kernels, changed base bands, installed various custom ROMs and tried GPS fix apps from the playstore ...The issue still persists......The only time it worked for 2 days straight without issues was when I installed the Paranoid android AOSP ROM.....
It had various bugs I wasn't willing to live with so I am back to wicked v2.1 and still trying to find a permanent solution regarding ng the s3's GPS issue..
The GPS temporarily works when the phone is restarted but after about 10 mins the GPS icon doesn't come on again until the phone is restarted...
I am currently using my Tmobile s3 to send this message and my GPS is not functional at the moment...I always have to restart the phone when I want to use navigation..

I think this might be a little excessive.
Hard reset fixed this issue on my S3. Just pull the battery without shutting the phone down then turn the phone back on. I haven't had the issue come back since doing the first and only hard reset on my phone.

I did a battery pull yesterday, GPS has been working along with navigation. I'm just waiting to see how long it will work now. It sounds like it's a known issue than? Let's how there's a fix!
