No Slide with Pattern - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I just flashed the latest version of Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my S3 and everything is working fine except for one thing. I can't get the lockscreen to have a pattern that shows up when I slide the lock. After I wake it up from sleep, it just shows the pattern and not the slider to access the camera, Google Now, etc. I was able to do in CM10 with no problem. Can anyone help me out?

It's the same on AOKP. You and I must be the 2 users that like pin/pattern and the slide lock. It may eventually get fixed. I haven't yet tried a 4.2 AOKP ROM yet so not sure if it got fixed with that update.

Also waiting for this fix. Its really annoying along with not able to pull down the status bar in full screen apps.

NFC from unlock screen

Basically I am trying to use a NFC card to unlock my device, while having a pin, password or pattern as a back up.
I am running into the issue that my phone won't read NFC tags while locked. I have tried on AOKP B27 and latest CM9 Nightly. I am downloading Gummy 0.8.1 to see if I can get it to work there.
I have NFC retag and it works great for turning off lock screen via tasker when it is unlocked.
Is anyone able to read NFC from lock screen? Am I missing a setting?
Thanks for the help.

Nope. I used the Slide unlock and now have a PIN lockscreen, and when the screen was turned on and touching the NFC tag, it would not read it until I unlocked the phone. I've used AOKP, GummyNex, Liquid, and now Team BAMF's ROMs and they've all done this, so it is something with ICS I believe.

Can any one on stock 4.0.4 confirm this?

I've only just noticed when I unlock the lock screen the nav bar buttons don't all show up at once, they show up in a sequence from right to left.
Its very fast when it does it but I'm sure it hasn't always done that. Can someone look and let me know if its a new feature I've just not noticed

It is normal since 4.0.3.

CyanogenMod 9.1.0 Hercules Backlight issue

hello i recently flashed this version of cyanogen-mod on my Samsung s2 and am having an issue. First of all, i used a non-touch CWM but it was confirmed to work as long as you use super swipe, so i did that and it worked no problem. However the back-lighting on my buttons will not come on. It is not broken because it sometimes works but mostly does not. i am wondering if there is a fix or a setting i need to use to get it to work.
Thank you

have you tried "settings > advanced > sensors" and checking the backlight and notification settings?
yes I have tried it, it fixes the issue but once I lock the phone and then unlock it it does not work anymore.

It's a known issue with any aosp builds such as cm or aokp. No one has gotten it to work consistently yet with ics or jb

i think ill just re-flash to dark-side evolution. can you please explain to me what the MD5 keys mean since there are like a few download mirrors and i an not sure which one to get.
i am having this problem on every version or CM9 past RC2 and CM10 i really would like a fix
i looked into this a little and it seems that it's a problem from the moment you turn off the screen until the first hard light timeout afte the screen is turned back on
Apparently the bug is also in Miui and AOKP

Fixed in ATT ICS 4.0.4 ver I927UCLJ3

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?..

It is built into the software. You Can decode the Rom, and put in 14 toggles to remove it

This Room is full of bugs
Everytime is freezing, tethering dont works, dont have an option to change 3g/4g in system configurations etc. Definitely updates dont make things better sometimes

I just updated my Samsung Captivate Glide (AT&T, SIM-unlocked) with ICS 4.0.4, but the GPS still don't work. I can see proper satellite signals with GPS-Test-App, but the App's (e.g. Google Earth, Google Maps or Worl navfree cannot connect with the GPS-receiver. This bug was reported so many times now, I don't understand, why this bug is not fixed in 4.0.4. Does anybody has some informations about a fix for this boring problem?

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.

Recent apps bug when waking up screen?

Ive noticed that when my screen goes off and I hit the home button to wake it back up sometimes when it turns back on it shows me the recent apps list as if I held the home button down. Only started happening since latest update. Confirmed happening on stock and frosty jelly bean latest build.. has anyone else noticed this? Btw I have pattern lock as lock screen
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Yep - and if you disable the lockscreen it happens pretty much every time. How the home button is handled changed from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, which is where the issue stems from I believe. It takes a little smali hacking to fix it (though to be fair I would consider the fix that I am trying as being in testing still).
Can you share how to resolve this issue. I don't think T-Mobile has fixed the issue and it is driving me nuts. I don't want a lock screen so that is not a good solution for me. I also prefer not to root at this point.
Thanks for any help!
It requires root unfortunately... though I suppose I could try to throw it into an ODINable tar similar to the prerooted tar thats out there...
