i installed this about a week or two ago on my phone and everything worked perfectly,i loved it. but now for some reason,my wifi does NOT work. It scans,finds,and connects,but does nothing after that. no web pages load,the market doesnt load,NADA. Anyone got any ideas? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated
Reboot if you havent already, and remove that access point and re-add it. If that doesnt help, reflash ROM

tried all the above,backed up to 6.0 and wifi worked,did a complete re flash of the rom and still nothing =(
btw-i dont know too much about flashing,re-flashing,so everything i do is through Rom Manager,dont know if that makes a difference
I have had issues with cm now and then. When i reflash, i do a wipe. If that doesnt work, i let the phone update when its in bootloader which sets up the enginering version of espresso. I then reflash from there and good as new. If that still doesnt work, redownload rom and flash. Occasionally the file may corrupt on the sd card. That has happened to me.

Try turning on bluetooth first then wifi. I read it in one of the CM threads and it works for me. I had the same problem.

I think this is still the trick for any CM based ROM
Well it is only a release candidate. I had major issues on RC1. I am running build 171 of the nightlies, everything is stable more or less. Wifi will occasionally glitch out, but that's partly my router I think. In any case, rebooting the phone or the router normally fixes it.

I've tried looking everywhere, but I can't find a solution, so I'm hoping someone sees this and can help.
I've recently become addicted to flashing roms, and have been trying out many of the amazing roms hosted here, including Touched by a SGSIII and Wicked Sensations. I fell in love with Wicked Sensations almost as soon as I flashed it, except for one problem.
Sometimes right away, sometimes after a reboot, and sometimes several hours later, my messaging app disappears, and I can no longer send or receive SMS.
There was also an occasional issue with it saying that "process.android.acore has stopped", but that problem seems to have stopped as well. This problem persisted on both Dazed's Sensations and Scarmon's Touched. I don't have the same issue with AOKP, or even the CM9A5 I flashed today, nor even on mijjah's Slim-n-Trim rom.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how do I fix it?
I usually flash with EL29 directboot kernel, if that affects anything.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Have you tried installing any of the really nice third party SMS apps like handscent or gosms?

I did. Those wouldn't work either. I'm pretty sure it was something in my backed up data, because I did a full reflash and only restored the apps, and everything is working fine, now.
Fortunately, I didn't seem to have lost a whole lot in not restoring that backup.
Sent from my SGSIIE4GT. Wickedly Sensational!
It sounds like you were restoring system apps specific to other roms. I suggest doing a full wipe, and ONLY restoring the apps that can be downloaded from the market.
Hey guys,
I've clicked around a bit but can't seem to find anyone with the same issue, and I went through about 40 pages on Calkulin's ROM but I really don't want to go through all 200 and some if somebody here can provide a solution.
I've used his ROMs for the past year, really fantastic, no complaints at all. I flashed his beta ICS build a few months ago and it worked well with the exception that it would randomly reboot for no apparent reason. I could be in the middle of a text message or it could be sitting on my desk and all of a sudden, reboot. I went back to his old ROM and decided to put off ICS for a few months to work out the bugs. Today I put his newest ICS ROM up and once again, random reboots. It doesn't seem that others are having the same problem so I'm not sure what to make of it. And for the sake of putting it out there, it's always a clean install - Format All, flash modem and ROM.
Anybody have any ideas? Suggestions? Any help is seriously appreciated.
Thanks guys.
Ive heard of someone else having this issue before have you tried a fresh install with a new download of EL29 or EL26? When i have had issuez in the past that could be the culprit try a new download also you could try one of the new kernals posted that may help as well.

Are you using 4g?? This is a known issue with leaving 4g enabled.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
It is a known issue that if the hacked Hotspot is installed and you are running on 4G that you will experience random reboots. Mijjah74 has implemented a fix for it in his ROMs and it is beginning to go out among the other developers as well.
Until your developer implements the fix the cure is to not use 4G.
Awesome, thanks a ton. What a goofy bug. Yes I frequently use 4g, hourly even, and although I rarely use the hot spot, it is installed. I wonder if un installing it would fix the issue.
Thanks again.
Any idea if using am older modem would fix it?

No, reinstalling won't help. I was testing 4g for this and (for me at least) it would reboot at about exactly the 1 hr mark if 4g is running constantly. Pretty strange but it did it several times in a row that way. I think someone said that they have the timing down pretty well and I can't recall exactly what the recommendation was, turn 4g off and back on right before it's going to reboot (you should time yours to see when it does it). Something like that.
Addendum: FYI, I'm running stock EL29 modem. A different modem won't change the 4g reboot issue either, sorry.
I had random reboots on every ROM. I went all the way back to stock unrooted, and started back over. Haven't has any issues since.

Well, this is an odd issue and i'm sure many other have it because all of my friends with GS3's have this problem. I have a rogers GS3, my friend has a Telus and other videotron and multiple times a week, when we try to send a moderate or long sms (3 lines and more) the phones fails to send the message. This is very odd because i've tried everything from a factory reset, full odin wipe, different roms, and nothing works. I'm on CM10 M2 now and the problem is also there.
When i try to send a long sms, it fails, then i sent a short one right after, it works, then i copy and resetn the original one that failed and it faisl again. I pretty sure many of you have it because we have 3 different GS3 on 3 different networks and it happens to all of us
I tried looking around, i have not found much, maybe somebody has such problem and perhaps a solution?
This happened to me earlier this morning. No idea what can even cause an issue like this.
nobody??? im sure many people have this
I think this is based on all aosp roms.
I don't know if it's fact or opinion, but I always get the "sent" message after receiving the "not sent" error.
In other words, it seems like it still sends the whole text, but just throws you an error initially.
Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?
Well i can correct you wrong because i've tested it it does not sent the messages nor does it have anything to so with AOSP roms because i've used both AOPK and they both have the issue,
I send long sms no problem.. some in fact so. Long it automatically breaks them into two. What firmware are you on.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
First off this belongs in Q&A so I will move it
Second AOKP is also considered an AOSP type ROM
There should be an option in your mms app to split messages over 160 characters. Make sure it is checked.
On the Touchwiz ROMs that came with the SIII and all TW custom ROMs this is not an issue. This is a Touchwiz phone so changing your ROM to anything but that will have some bugs and require fixes and workarounds.

Contact your carrier
Especially if you're having this issue on and off
Do other apps work? I use ChompSMS (fixes lots of annoying bugs in the TW SMS app) and I can send long messages fine.

i have to disagree. I had like i said in OP, i tried ALL roms, stock, stock rooted, cyanogen and many other, this was an issue in all roms.

are you using a mms app other than what's provided with the rom? And are you able to send any messages at all? or does it fail to send only on long ones?
If you were on stock and still can't send any/long messages, check your apn settings and make sure it's correct for your provider, especially if you are installing roms (stock or custom) that are specifically developed for AT&T phones. From your profile I'm assuming you have a Canadian version.
Check the APN settings. If that's all correct, return the phone for a new one
all apn settings are fine and this is not an issue with the phone because like i said, it would be one hell of a coincidence if this happened to both of my friends with gs3s on different providers. Also i am using stock sms app and this only happens with moderately long sms, it doesnt always ahppen, its random
If it's intermittent, and it's not just you but also your friends, it sounds like a provider problem. From what I have been reading on different forums, it seems service in Canada has been sketchy because they're adding LTE towers everywhere.
I don't know if that's really the case, but all I can say is texting works well for me down here on the AT&T network, both on AOSP (which also includes AOKP as you were mistaken earlier) and stock-based ROMs, although I do get the error on AOSP based roms for long messages. I've asked my friends and they say they receive the whole message just fine.
Last thing I can think of is if you flashed a custom kernel and it messed with some of your drivers. I know KToons kernel has modified drivers, and you're supposed to flash the stock kernel provided in that thread if you're going back to stock. Try that and see if that fixes your problem.
yup, i've flashed ktoon kenel as i had major issues with faux kernel as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1937476
i'll report back in a week to see if any different
thanks for you help
Hi, im fairly new to the S3, just switched from my Moto Atrix but i seem to be having an issue with the GPS. I used my Atrix for my Car Nav using Google Nav and always set it on my dash, but my S3 will work fine for maybe 10 mins (differs) and then loose signal. Once i restart the phone, it works great again, and then will eventually loose signal.
Ive tried making sure its out in the open, but still cant ever lock. Just bought the phone at Best Buy last week, but i use it everyday for Nav as i drive all over town.
Its running 4.1.1
Any help would be great.

Do you use any battery saving apps? There could be something making it close the GPS or location access after some time.
When you lose signal, did you try turning off/on your GPS/location access?

There's a couple fixes you can try in a GPS thread here in the q&a section. Did you manually update it to 4.1.1 after bringing it home?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995347
Tried that and it worked for the day then went back to loosing signal. I have just today had gps working for 30 mins then in the middle of using it looses signal.
The only way to regain signal is to restart the phone. I'm all stock with att.

Lost signal again today during the Nav app. Gps Icon disappears completely, only way to get back it to restart. Then about 4 hrs later, happened again.

my wife's stock s3 began having gps issues after she updated it to 4.1.1. ultimately, i had her back everything up and then i performed a data wipe (stock recovery), flashed stock firmware in odin, and wiped data/cache in stock recovery again. no problems since. kies' essentially dirty flashing the jb update onto s3's seems to cause problems for many
I'm not sure really what all that meant lol. I bought the phone new and it was stock with JB.

After a reset, my gps worked great for a week, for hrs at a time, then all of a sudden this week it stopped again. Loosing GPS signal and having to restart the phone.

many, many users are having gps-related issues on stock 4.1.1
many are having these issues sometime after performing the update themselves. essentially, any kind of ROM update that does not include a full wipe before install (dirty flashing) can mean that there's a chance it might have a bug here and there. i fixed my wife's gps by:
-having her backup all her stuff
-downloading the stock firmware for her model/carrier (located in the android development section)
-booting into stock recovery to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache
-booting into download mode and using Odin to flash the stock firmware
-booting into recovery again to wipe data and cache
no gps problems since.
My phone is all stock and always been stock still with gps issues. Even tried wiping again and still no luck. Sometimes it works for a few days no problem, other days it has issues 3 or more times a day.

Probably 6 weeks or so with no gps issues. The gps problems began after the 4.1.1 update via kies. They were intermittent initially but then worse and worse. All good to go now
Mine works great underground!
Mine.. Underground.. Do you get it?
My SGH-i777, and SGH-S730M usually get decent GPS reading wherever I am.
I try not to use them too much, I am pretty sure that the GPS can kill battery (wasted battery for something I usually don't need).

Interesting. I updated stock via kies first then I loaded the rooted Rom from here. Maybe it all stemmed from my first step.

I think you should try to uncheck google location services, where gps is. Probably poor support in your area and they messed up.
