I have a d2tmo GS3 and been running CM10 nightlys. It is alright but I sometimes have BT trouble between the phone and the car and so I am looking to see if there is another ROM that will work better for me.
I am mainly looking for a relatively vanilla JB ROM. Don't need or care to much about fancy stuff. Its ok if it has extra features as long as they don't cause problems. More than anything else, I want a stable ROM that works correctly.
There are two problems I am having with BT.
The first is that the phone does not always auto connect for music with my car. It used to also have trouble connecting for phone, but a recent nightly build seems to have fixed that.
The second is that when it does connect, it automatically starts playing a random file (it did this with the stock ROM as well). For some reason my Nexus S didn't do this with either ICS or JB vanilla Android. My understanding is that this is cause the phone is getting an autoplay signal from the car. I am hoping there is an Android version that can be set to ignore this request.

I'm actually having the same problem with auto-connect I have a thread going as well. I am running wicked JB which is TW based so close to stok and thats my only problem so far
Just to be clear, when I say "vanilla JB" I mean JB like google intended, not neccesarilty GS3 stock rom.

Does Frosty allow your phone to ignore BT autoplay requests?

So, I have been running Calkulin's ROMs forever... I've stuck to GB because it was the most stable (at the time), I recently decided to try ICS, but EVERY ICS ROM I've tried, and every ICS modem I've tried, I've run into the SAME issue..
I get crappy service, where I had 3-4 bars before, I'm now getting 1 or roaming... If I reset the phone, it magically works again, displaying the 3-4 bars I had previously..
I've checked all my settings, and tried multiple ROMs, and all exhibit the same issues.. I've tried FF11 and FF18 and the issue still persists.
And..Pandora doesn't work.... It'll stick on loading, or buffer to 2% and hang, then switch to the next song, and repeat the cycle... But only when on 3G/4G, if I'm on wi-fi, it works perfectly...
If I had to take a guess, it would appear modem related (all data/signal issues), but no one else seems to be having the same issues as I.
Thought? Suggestions?
After more tinkering, FE21 + FE21 agat kernel + Pandora 1.5.15 seems to have fixed all the issues....
I'd still like some input though.
Pandora works fine for me on ICS, same with the modems, not sure what the problem might be, just saying it works

I'm having the exact same problem on my Nexus S 4G, as of last Friday.
Running latest CM9 nightly with default CM9 kernel.
Only way it will stream is over wifi.
Will try loading an older version of Pandora and see if that helps.
I'm getting nowhere with Pandora...
Still unable to stream anything unless i'm on wifi.
Have wiped everything and even installed stock ICS rom for my Nexus S.
Oddly enough it works if I go back go Gingerbread...
So it was just a kernel / app version issue for you?
Think the sprint multimedia proxies have anything to do with it? My evo shift did the same thing stock until I zeroed them out.
I'm using an old modded version of Pandora. Today I discovered that if I'm running airblock (airpush ad blocker) that the cover art doesn't display and sometimes the loudness levels of songs differ greatly. I disabled the blocker and everything worked as it should. I don't know if Pandora and airpush are using the same servers or ports but there seems like there might be some correlation between them.
Running Blu Kuban based on ICS on my E4GT and pandora runs flawlessly. Don't know if that is a source of help or aggravation.

Thank you!!!
I disabled AdAway and now Pandora works...
Now the trick is figuring out what I need to exclude from my hosts file to prevent it from breaking Pandora.
I'm running VeNuM's own Boa + FF18 kernel/modem. Earlier today while sitting in my car in the parking lot of WalMart I downloaded and used Pandora for the very first time to test out my new portable rechargeable Bluetooth stereo speaker from iHome (which sounds great for a little $60 speaker). Pandora worked without a hitch and sound was flawless.
I have AdAway on my phone (running PH's ICS atm) and have never had issues with Pandora. Amazon's streaming, otoh, has been a complete pain and almost unusable.

and of course today it is broken again
Tried changing the multimedia proxies also, still no go.
Wednesday and today, pandora was really running like ****. Sounds like they need an enema for their internet pipes.

Pandora works on wifi and 4g but not on 3g on any ICS rom. It does work on stock el29 on 3g though. I've tried installing a couple of stock leaked ICS and only installed pandora and it still doesnt work on 3g. I'd go back to el29 but i really dont like it. I found a modified pandora apk that is v1.5.15 and it has the same issues so i dont think its the newer version that is causing the issue. If there is anything else i can try, i would greatly appeciate it.
Downloading 1.5.10 worked for me

I am also having the same issue's that everyone else is having. But, I would like to add that I can confirm that when Pandora was on EL29, it worked flawlessly. Not so much now.
I'm using Adaway as well, no problems here with Pandora on 3G. Maybe try Adaway?
Using 1.6 on stock FF18 deodexed rom with FF18 modem and Agat's 0.2.1 kernel. Haven't had any issues with it so far.

Hi,
I'm running the latest CM10 (Linaro). My Wi-Fi connection constantly drops for a few seconds then reconnects. It was doing this on CM9 as well. Not sure about what it did when stock (wasn't stock for long).
Is this an issue with the Kindle, or with the rom(s)? Is there a hardware update? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
mike
Seems to be a common gremlin with custom ROMs. There are a few that don't drop, or as often. Gotta test em all.

Thanks. I just did a full wipe and installed [ROM][10/10/2012] Unofficial AOKP Jellybean Build 4.
Same problem. I suspect if I went back to a stock rom, the wifi issue would disappear. But no way... this Jellybean build is fricken awesome.
Might a different kernel help? Could it be that I just have a lemon?

This sounds like a hardware problem. While there have been some wifi issues in the past, these have been resolved. Dropping constantly is hardware. Reload stock and exchange it with Amazon.

I installed the stock rom (MoDaCo Custom ROM). The wi-fi seems to be working great.
Maybe I'll just leave it stock. It's not so bad once I put Go Launcher on!
- Update - I did a thorough wipe of everything, installed the latest CM10 (SEMI-NIGHTLY] CM10 + 4AI.1.7 KERNEL [STABLE). WiFi seems to be working properly now.
Thanks,
Mike
Mine is/was doing this on CM10 SGT7, but I think it's application specific. Some apps kick the wifi off constantly, like every 20 seconds, while it can stay on perfectly fine on others. If I shut down all apps I seem to stay online just fine. I'll keep experimenting and see what is doing it. I'm also wondering if it's a combination of the KF and my DIR-655 router, which doesn't like some devices anyway and maybe just has a conflict with this one for some reason.
Anyway I'm going to keep testing the SGT7 before wiping and switching. I'm also going to wipe and reinstall SGT7 because if it was really a ROM-specific problem it would probably be identified as a problem for a lot more people using those ROMs and be listed as such.
I'm guessing it's a problem that some versions of the KF have, but is also due to a few specific apps and how they access data. I just hope it's not Chrome that's doing it.
WiFi Drops
I'm running straight up Hashcode's ROM 4.1.2 / Kern 3.0.31+ (Oct 10 2012). It's been an ongoing issue. Not sure how someone can say "It's hardware related" when stock amazon rom doesn't have this issue. I've been able to recreate it almost 100% using a torrent client (aTorrent, etc) soon as bandwidth hits about 300kb range, the wifi turns to an off setting. Seems if you don't throttle the connection somewhat, the system drops the network layer completely as a out of control app?
I'm going to try a wipe/update and see what happens. It's very annoying trying to get sypebeta installed when its downloader just goes full balls to the wall and dumps at nearly 90% every time
Asked in the official thread on the development forums, but so far no replies after several days. I am wanting to get some form of tether working on this ROM, but so far nothing works. From trying the built-in tethering function to using Android-Wifi-Tether, nothing is working. I know there are some tether issues with JB ROMs on this phone, but usually they are easy to overcome with a patch from the ROM devs themselves.
Has anyone gotten tether to work on this specific ROM, and how did you go about doing it.
Thanks

I used to use CM 10.1. I dont think I ever went to 10.1.2 but I dont think it makes a difference. I just remember going to 10.2. But every CM ROM I was on, the native tethering worked fine for me. I'm on Verizon though. I dont know if that makes a difference either.
EDIT: Saw you were on Verizon. It should work unless I'm forgetting something
So far I have tried CM 10.2 nightly 9/15 and 9/17 and the 10.1.2 stable release and the native tethering doesn't work on any of them. I can connect using it, but the connection is limited and no data is transferred at all. I was using a custom ROM from MWalt and I had to use his native tethering patch to get it to work on JB roms.

I dont know whats going on with your phone then. I've never had an issue with tethering and I've never used a patch. What are you trying to tether to? Some devices may have issues with the type of signal the Galaxy Nexus puts out. For example, there is a thread around here about tethering issues with the Xbox.
Have tried my laptop, a tablet and a 3DS. None of them work. I can see the network and connect, but no data is ever transferred. On ICS roms I didn't have to do anything to get tether to work right out of the box. But starting with JB, I have had to use either patches or workarounds to get the native tethering to work on any ROM I try.

Sorry man. I have no idea whats wrong. The only thing I can recommend is maybe try flashing the stock image and see if it fixes anything. I know thats not what people want to hear. But unless someone else says they are having the same problem, it would seem to be only happening with your device. Another possibility, I guess, could be your radios. Did you flash any other radios on your device?
I am using this radio from 3/5. What radio are you using, and is it safe to back down to a prior one?

I'm pretty sure those are the ones I am using too. I wouldn't revert to older ones until someone with more experience says its ok. I dont want to say yes and have your phone break. I dont know what to tel you though. If you have the time, I'd say just start from scratch and see if it fixes it.
Start fresh as in going back to stock 4.2.2 or whatever the latest is? I tried that between flashing the different CM versions but with JB roms I have to apply a patch before native tethering works for some reason. I will try different radios when someone confirms you can back down to an earlier set without issue.

Alright. Sorry I couldnt be more help.
Your help is appreciated. At least I know that I can tether, just depends on if I want to move to certain ROMs or not. Hopefully I can get CM to tether as its one of the best running ROMs I have used for this phone.
The only time I had an issue tethering on CM is when I ran AK kernel. Stock cm kernel and Franco kernel always worked fine however. I'm not sure what the difference was....

Will pay someone to help me UNDERSTAND and fix this issue I have.
I have ATT HTC ONE M8 - S-OFF, CID 1111111
I have successfully used all Sense ROMs. But if I flash ANY AOSP ROM I have no WIFI whatsoever. It connects sometimes and drops right off. I can't use any non-Sense ROMs because of this and I am starting to get PO-ed.
Please help, reward in it.
I was told that wifi is like this because of HTC having a closed source wifi driver. Regular unsecured networks you should be able to connect to, but secured connections you'll have to be extremely close to the router to connect. Frustrating, I know.

Yes, that information is all I have been able to uncover actually. But I dont understand how its not really a big deal for anyone else? Haha.
I mean all these people seem to be using these AOSP ROMs....but I am the only one who seems to care that I have absolutely no wifi sitting on my couch at home?
Strange that people are just 'dealing'

It is and has been a big deal for others. You can see this in pretty much every AOSP thread we have here. Only a few of you guys are experiencing no wifi at all. There's only a couple of options that can be done next to "just dealing" which is digging into the code and trying to fix it or using a non AOSP based ROM.
Try this if you want and test your wifi and let me know if it's any better.

If I got great 4G signal here at work I probably wouldn't mind as much about not being able to connect to the network here where you have to log in to use the free WiFi. I can never get to the acceptance page. Since there is free WiFi here I might as well use it but I can't. CarbonROM seems to be PERFECT aside from the WiFi issue plaguing all AOSP ROMs at the moment.
I just hope that someone can confirm that it is an issue that is being looked into. I'm a little curious as to why HTC would lock down its WiFi drivers...
I have had the same problem as you on all AOSP roms except Liquidsmooth. I flashed liquidsmooth beta (from the HTC m8 original thread) and wifi worked while it didn't on all of the others. The most current one is running on 4.4.3 and that may have something to do with it. I really want to flash Paranoid but Im waiting on 4.4.3. Liquidsmooth is a very stable rom if you want to check it out. I saw on a PA Google+ post that the 4.4.3 update may help fix this issue so I would wait... Although, I could be wrong
I hope that it gets resolved soon. I am so sick of using Sense. In fact, I hate all stock interpretations of Android. AOSP or die.

Have you tried playing with the WIFi module? If it is working on one, then you should be able to use it's WIFI module on another. If you aren't getting any wifi at all, well that sounds like a kernel module issue to me.
What kernel are you using?
My problem isn't connecting to WiFi, I can do that just fine. I haven't tried connecting to a secure password-protected network yet, but "Guest" access points I can't get to the page where you accept the terms of use unless I'm a few feet from the router. I don't know of any ROM that has allowed me to connect farther away from it yet. All the ROMs I have tried seem to let me use unsecured access points with no problem.
On AOSP ROMs I've tried the included Kernel baked into the ROM and Excaliber 0.3.
On Sense I'm on Faux.
I have tried installing multiple different custom rom's and I have also had the stock JB rom.
I don't know why, I really don't, but Custom rom's that are 4.3 or above mess around with my t989.
The calling never works, so say I just turned on my phone, it's just booted, I can make a few calls and everything is fine, the minute I hang up, and wana call another person within the next 3-5 Minutes, it's gone. It doesn't work anymore.
I don't get why the calling does not work on any KITKAT ROM.
It doesn't work on CM 10.1.3, 10.2, 11, Liquid smooth and now hellkat... it's a shame.
After a while, when you try to make a call or when you receive one, You can't hear the other side and the other side cannot hear you either.
I have had this problem with custom roms, specially 4.3 and above. Hellkat seems to be worse than CM11 calling wise, even though as I see, they have the same dialer and hellkat uses most of CM builds but still.. this sucks. I feel like it's either a software/rom problem or something disabled maybe, i'm not sure. I know, I have great connection (T-mobile) Data working, full signal and everything seems to be fine. However, I don't know what to do to even try to solve/fix it. I hope someone here know's though or someone here can help.
FYI; This doesn't happen on the stock rom (JB 4.1.2) At all. It never happens on stock, just on custom rom's and the only custom rom it doesn't do this on and works fine is ( CM 9.1)
Any solutions anyone knows of?
Thank you.
Replied to you in the other thread. Unless you've played around with different radios, I'm near 90% sure it's snapchat. I don't know why it borks the roms, someone smarter than I will have to answer that. All I do know is that several people with the exact same symptoms uninstalled snapchat and everything went back to normal.
